Killer to remain in jail Concerns remain about Ryan Crossley’s release in 2012 By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The young man who stabbed Jesse Penner to death outside a Port Coquitlam house party in 2006 won’t be getting out of jail early because he’s too dangerous. But when he does get out at the end of his sentence — in less than a year — JESSE PENNER he’ll have no supervision. Ryan Crossley has committed numerous acts of violence behind bars and will remain incarcerated for the remainder of his sentence, which ends next year, according to the Parole Board of Canada (PBC). The board noted that in the five years the 21-year-old has been in prison, he has yet to complete any programming to address his propensity for violence or his substance abuse issues. see CROSSLEY, C OSS , page g 15 5

Coq. SAR: ‘We need our own chopper team’ Locals depend on North Shore

“My first bear encounter was coming across a bear in a field as he was eating something in the tall grass and when he stood up for a closer inspection, I can still remember the hairs standing up all over my body as I froze...”

“He froze as the bear proceeded to walk right up to him. The bear sniffed him (as a dog would), turned and lumbered away... Thank goodness the bear decided that J.C. wasn’t worth bothering with and... he still wasn’t holding his treats.”

“We live on Mariner Way in Coquitlam in the River Heights area and have heard of bear sightings in such places as the Riverview grounds but would never believe that one would be dancing on the hood of my car!”

By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

One week after the dramatic helicopter rescue of three hikers stranded in the wilderness north of Pitt Lake, Coquitlam Search and Rescue says it’s high time Coquitlam had its own chopper rescue team rather than relying on its neighbour’s. In last week’s helicopter rescue — and nearly all previous — Coquitlam SAR called upon the equipment and expertise of the North Shore SAR’s Helicopter External Transportation System (HETS) to assist in extracting the hikers. see HELICOPTERS HELICOPTERS,, page 5

Film crew keeps swimmers out of the water City shuts Eagle Ridge Pool and tennis courts for final week of summer for movie crew By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Swimmers wanting to take a dip at Coquitlam’s Eagle Ridge Pool during the last few days of summer are being told to go elsewhere to cool off. The outdoor pool, located at the corner of Guildford Way and Lansdowne Drive,

was closed on Monday after the city rented out the facility — as well as the adjacent tennis courts and parking lot — to a production crew shooting a feature film. The area is closed to the public until the end of the outdoor pool seaMACDONELL son, on Labour Day. Lori MacKay, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, said swimming lessons wrapped up last Friday and weren’t affected.

The city has posted a bulletin on its website informing residents about the early closure and directing them to the other two outdoor public pools — Spani and Rochester, which this month underwent maintenance work — as well as the two indoor pools: City Centre and Chimo. The closure came to The Tri-City News’ attention after reader Sherry Parkin complained about the inconvenience. “Families should be entitled to the availability of the facilities our taxes support,” she wrote in an email. Yesterday, Coun. Doug Macdonell, chair of the city’s recreation committee, said

he sympathizes with Parkin, but noted, “While it is unfortunate that people are being inconvenienced in the last week of summer, any money that we get for operational expenses as compensation is money that the taxpayers don’t have to spend.” The movie company, TCF Productions Ltd., is paying a film permit fee as well as making up for lost revenue for the pool and city staffing. As well, TCF is kicking in $15,000 for pool equipment, MacKay said. Because of the Eagle Ridge pool closure, the city will keep Spani open until Sept. 30, she said. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Just because summer is winding down doesn’t mean the bears aren’t hungry Official urges vigilance as area bruins will be on the lookout for food to take them into fall

Sniffing & eating

By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

6HFUHW F\FOHV

September is typically a busy month for bears and this year will be no exception as local bruins will be fattening up on highcalorie food to get ready for hibernation. Fall is when black bears are in their hyperphagia stage, when they seem to forage non-stop — almost the entire day with just a few rest periods. And this is when residents from Anmore to Port Coquitlam must be most vigilant to get rid of anything that might attract the hungry omnivores. “Everyone needs to do their part,” says Coquitlam’s Bear Aware co-ordinator, Drake Stephens, who has been monitoring bear activity all season and says bear complaints typically spike in the early fall. This hasn’t been the worst year for bears but it hasn’t been a trouble-free year, either. In Coquitlam alone, five bears have been destroyed, three of them because they were eating garbage and getting into garages and hobby farms. The other two were put down by conservation officers because they were injured; one was hit by a car on Mariner Way and another was shot by a bow-hunter on a blueberry farm. In Port Coquitlam, a bear was destroyed in June for eating garbage and in Anmore a bear that was dining on people’s garbage and had been previously relocated was shot after it charged a man who was walking near its cubs. Thanks to a cold, wet spring, bear season started out slow and bears were kept busy eating natural food and raising few concerns. But the number of calls jumped in July, possibly due to awareness caused by a bear attack and death in Lillooet, Stephens speculated in a recent interview. “After that, I think, they [people] just jumped on the phone,” said Stephens, who recorded 237 calls in July, up from 201 in the same period last year. Black bear attacks are rare and attacks by female black bears with cubs rarer still,

“On Monday, Aug. 22, a sow and her three cubs made an appearance in our yard mid-afternoon. One of the cubs was intrigued by the soccer ball on our lawn so she sat down and played with it for awhile. We were fascinated by the cub’s white patch on her chest. Mama bear was always close by. They went around the back of our yard and eventually moved over to a neighbour’s yard. It was a pleasure to watch — from a distance!” From the email from Crista and Paul Dungey that accompanied the photo above Stephens said, but people must still be on the alert and call in bear sightings, especially in neighbourhoods where people aren’t taking care of their garbage. There are still some places where garbage and other attractants are being left out but more and more people are getting the message, he said. “Some neighbourhoods are taking ownership of the whole street.” On those streets, bear sightings are rare and if even one person leaves their garbage out,

Drake hears about it. “Education is working in areas where bears are around.” By mid-August, only one $500 fine had been issued to a homeowner who left their garbage out in a neighbourhood where it had attracted a passing bear, which was later killed. Other communities are taking bear issues seriously, too. Anmore is planning to introduce bear-resistant bins to residents next spring to reduce

Bears can become habituated to garbage, especially this time of year. Here’s why: • As the summer progresses, a bear’s urge to consume calories (hyperphagia) becomes paramount, and bears literally become eating machines until the fall. Feeding slows down in late fall, when bears are about to enter their dens. • Bears have an extraordinary sense of smell because the area of the brain that manages the sense of smell, called the olfactory bulb, is at least five times the size of the same area in human brains even though their brains are one third the size. A bear’s sense of smell is so acute that it can detect animal carcasses upwind from a distance of 20 miles away. Thus, just because your food waste is in a hard plastic bin doesn’t mean they can’t smell it. – source: www.bearaware.bc.ca

MORE BEAR STORIES: SEE PAGE 16 the potential for human/bear conflicts. Mayor Heather Anderson said the issue has been studied but the details need to be finalized. In Port Coquitlam, bear complaints are on par with previous years, or even slightly down because more people are taking care of their garbage. By the middle of this month, PoCo had only 21 garbage complaints compared to 74 the year before, said Dan Scoones, the city’s manager of bylaw services, and no fines had been handed out. But as in Coquitlam, calls about bears rose dramatically in July as people spotted bears in their community, mostly north of the city. Last week, a bear was seen hanging around a neighbourhood south of Shaughnessy Street, near Mary Hill, and the city sent out flyers reminding people to secure their garbage. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Port Mann halfway Milestone for what will be B.C.’s biggest bridge By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

The new Port Mann Bridge is now half built. Politicians and construction crews gathered at the new span Saturday to mark the milestone. The new 10-lane bridge across the Fraser River, which will be electronically tolled, is the centrepiece of the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1 expansion project. The bridge will reduce congestion, cut commute times and ease goods movement, according to Premier Christy Clark. “Once complete, commuters will save an hour a day in travel time,� she said. Eight of the 10 bridge lanes are to open by late 2012 and tolls will go into effect at the same time. The other two lanes will open in 2013. Bridge users will pay a minimum $3 to cross one way provided they use a transponder or pay within two days, otherwise the cost will be $5.30. The base toll will rise 2.5% a year. The bridge is projected to initially raise at least $175 million a year in tolls, a figure that assumes it carries 20% more paying vehicles than crossed for free in 2007. Even so, it will take several more years of traffic growth and at least a further 15% boost in revenue before it reaches the break-even point where tolls match the outgoing payments to the private partner that builds and maintains the project. It will be the biggest bridge in B.C., with an 850-metre-long main bridge deck and an overall length, including approaches, of just over 2 km. A total

BY THE NUMBERS What’s going into the new Port Mann Bridge? • 157,000 cu. m of concrete • 25,000 tonnes of asphalt for new bridge deck • 28,000 tonnes • 13,000 tonnes of structural steel • 1,158 pre-cast segments in the approach spans • 116 steel composite segments in the cable-stay span • 16 km of pile and 5 km of drilled shafts to support the structure • 45 km of cable of 288 cables will hold up the bridge, anchored to 160-metre-high towers. The lanes will include an HOV/bus lane in each direction, as well as a five-metre wide path for bikes and pedestrians. There will also be a local traffic lane in each direction separated from other highway traffic that will be dedicated to users going directly between Surrey and Coquitlam. The project is also supposed to bring a new Highway 1 RapidBus service running from a new parkand-ride in Langley via north Surrey to Lougheed SkyTrain station in Burnaby in less than 25 minutes. But TransLink says it doesn’t yet have the money to operate the Highway 1 bus service, which is one of a number of proposed expansion projects that depend on increased funding. Once the new bridge is complete, the old Port Mann Bridge will be demolished. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Helicopters save time continued from front page

And while none of the province’s eight HETS-equipped SAR teams have their own choppers, all have the training, ropes, harnesses and baskets necessary to convert a commercial helicopter into a rescue helicopter in a matter of minutes. Former Coquitlam SAR president, and current chairman of the team’s HETS committee, Bill Papove, told The Tri-City News he’s not certain where the funding will come from but promised that Coquitlam would be HETSready next year. The start-up cost for the HETS training and equipment is $60,000, then about $6,000 annually to maintain the program, Papove said. Currently, Coquitlam SAR is looking to the province’s community gaming grants and the city’s Spirit of Coquitlam grants — funded by money the city receives from Boulevard Casino — to help fund the HETS program. If those don’t pan out, Papove said the SAR team would solicit corporate and private donations to raise the $60,000. “It can take us 10 hours to hike in to someone where we could fly in with a long-line system in 15 minutes,� Papove said, answering to the cost-effectiveness of the HETS program, adding that in some situations the SAR team handles, that time makes a world of difference. Last week’s rescue was the first requiring HETS in Coquitlam so far this year. Last year, there were three.

Coquitlam Search and Rescue volunteers are hoping they can count on a provincial community gaming grant and a Spirit of Coquitlam grant from the city to fund and establish their own helicopter rescue team. Currently, the local SAR groups relies on North Shore SAR’s chopper team. Mike Coyle, who came to Coquitlam SAR with prior HETS certification, was the SAR manager on the ground at last week’s Pitt Lake rescue but usually he’s the rescuer on the end of the rope. “Basically, the helicopter picks me up from as close as we can get, flies me to the location and the pilot lowers me through the trees and I disconnect from the helicopter and assist the patient,� Coyle said. “I put the patient into the harness when the helicopter comes back and we fly to the landing area, I detach and then the helicopter lands nearby.� Coyle said it’s a quick and easy rescue procedure that’s becoming more routine. And that’s why Coquitlam can’t keep relying on the North Shore — the province’s

busiest SAR team — to always be ready. “If we needed this kind of rescue on the weekend — North Shore had two HETS rescues this weekend — it could be all tied up,� he said. Papove said he expects to raise the $60,000 to fund HETS by November and then begin certifying eight more of Coquitlam’s 45 SAR members in the rescue technique in February. Coquitlam SAR president Garry Mancell said Coquitlam would become the ninth SAR team in the province to be fully HETS certified, joining the North Shore, Whistler, Chilliwack, Campbell River, Squamish, Penticton, Golden and Kootenay Heli Rescue. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Another delay in hit-and-run case Defence raises concerns about revised report By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

There are new developments in the lead-up to the case against Cory Sater, the Coquitlam man charged with killing Charlene Reaveley and Lorraine Cruz in an alleged hit-and-run crash last February. On Monday, a Port Coquitlam court heard that Sater’s girlfriend at the time of the horrific Feb. 19 crash that also severely injured Cruz’s boyfriend, Paulo Calimahin, has now asked that Sater be barred from contacting her. Crown prosecutor Vittorio Toselli and Sater’s defence lawyer, Tony Serka, ag reed M o n d ay t o a m e n d Sater’s bail conditions, adding her name to the long list of people with a no-contact order against Sater as part of his conditions for release from custody in March.

That list already includes the families of Reaveley, Cruz and Calimahin, as well as at least one other person who cannot be named under order of a publication ban on the case. Sater, 37, is out on bail facing 10 charges, including two counts of impaired driving causing death, one count of impaired driving causing bodily harm and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. On Monday, the court was to assign a trial date but that decision was once again adjourned because police have still not provided a collision scene reconstruction report to Sater’s lawyer. The report from the RC M P ’s I n t e g r at e d Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS) was allegedly completed some time ago by its lead investigator on the case but was later altered under a peer review process, according to the lawyers for both sides. “The author was directed to make a num-

ber of changes to its material,” Serka told the court, adding t h a t h e CRUZ w a n t s those changes reversed and he wants to see all versions of the reconstruction report submitted. “I want them all, all of the reports, “ Serka told The Tri-City News following the hearing Monday. “Because you make changes and

then it becomes somebody else’s report.” Toselli told the c o u r t REAVELEY that the Crown shares in Serka’s frustrations with the delay in proceedings but added that releasing the report without the peer alterations would be akin to releasing a “first draft” report instead of a final copy. Madame Justice T. Alexander ordered the

matter back to Port Coquitlam court on Sept. 21, saying, “I’m always concerned when there’s been 10 appearances and counsel is not ready to fix a date.” To that, Serka replied: “If [the report] was completed in March, I would have fixed a date already.” Reaveley, 30, was struck and killed trying to help Cruz, 26, and Calimahin near the intersection of Lougheed Highway and Pitt River Road. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Samaritan saves girl from drowning Air ambulance called to White Pine Beach Aug. 26 Articles by Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A toddler is lucky to be alive after a Good Samaritan saved the 22-month old girl from drowning at White Pine Beach last Friday. According to Port Moody Police, at around 4:20 p.m. Aug. 26, an adult witnessed a young girl in distress in the water and pulled her out, performing CPR on the child on the beach. The

mother of the child and at least one other family member were nearby at the time. A BC Air Ambulance was dispatched to Sasamat Lake and took the girl to BC Children’s Hospital, Kim said. “She was crying,” he added. “So that’s a good sign.” Police had no update on the girl’s condition at press time Tuesday. Kim warned parents and caregivers that “even though you may be nearby and vigilant, things can happen very quickly.” tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Thief boosted cash in PM Port Moody Police are asking the public for help finding a man who robbed a local restaurant Monday. At approximately 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 29, police said a man demanded money from the till at the Booster Juice on Capilano Drive, in the Suter Brook development. Staff complied with the robber’s demands and the man made off with an unknown amount of cash. Port Moody cops were called and searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect, according to spokesperson Const. Bill Kim.

OK, now what? T

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

he defeat of the HST last Friday doesn’t change one fact about B.C.’s finances: We’re still spending more money than we are bringing in. The HST hoped to address that, not necessarily by increasing the amount of tax British Columbians pay but by improving the economy by streamlining a clumsy and archaic provincial sales tax. A more active economy, the government contended, would mean more tax revenue coming in. That argument failed to sway many. It was lost amid the shouts and accusations over the way the HST was introduced, and suspicion it would only benefit business. Chilliwack MLA Barry Penner aptly called Friday’s referendum defeat a “self-inflicted wound.” Indeed, the way the BC Liberals handled the HST should offer a textbook example to future politicians on how not to introduce a tax. So deep was the anger that almost every economist and business leader failed to convince the public that tossing out the PST would enhance economic activity. Even the promise to reduce the tax was seen as a crass attempt to buy the public’s favour. So what now? If there is one consensus that can be drawn from the last few months, it is that the PST is a deeply flawed tax. Business people, politicians and economists agree that because of the way it is applied, it stifles growth. The other reality is that the things we want our government to pay for — health care, education, transportation — all continue to cost more. Our options are simple: Spend less, or find ways to generate additional revenue. Premier Christy Clark has promised a Plan B. Let’s hope that plan involves a thorough and transparent discussion about ways we can improve our tax structure. If the PST is flawed, Friday’s HST defeat should not preclude our changing it. But let’s talk about it first. – The Chilliwack Progress (Black Press)

The ‘people’s victory’ means pain ahead for B.C. BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA DP leader Adrian Dix couldn’t contain his glee at the result of the harmonized sales tax referendum. He seemed positively giddy that the provincial budget will forgo $3 billion in revenue over the next few years and clearly relishes the prospect of getting back to the legislature in October to resume his demands for more spending in every ministry of the B.C. government. He can start soon, standing in passionate solidarity with B.C.’s 40,000 public school teachers as they strike to press their demands for huge increases in salary and benefits that already exceed what most private sector workers will ever see. Bill Vander Zalm was thrilled, too, beaming that famous smile as he climbed in his long black Mercedes to resume his comfortable retirement. He never expected to be able

N

to leave the province in a mess one more time but fate has been kind to him. He probably still believes he has helped the poor, as he claimed in his nonsensical rants against the HST. This is the “people’s victory” that Dix crowed about. B.C. and the rest of the country are entering a perilous time when retired people outnumber the young and pension plans, private and public, grow increasingly fragile. And in classic baby-boomer style, our political response is self-centred and unrealistic. An efficient tax system that ends the advantage given to services over goods while raising revenue to lift up the poorest people is now a dirty word. Any kind of meaningful tax reform will be politically radioactive for years to come. Resource industries, the movie business and other private sector job generators can now plan for a significant B.C. disadvantage in 2013. Ontario can celebrate. Meanwhile, demand for government services to take care

of the great grey blob that is my generation can only soar. It’s not just old people outnumbering the young. I wrote a while back that Canada has already passed another significant milestone: Statistics Canada reported in May on the people fortunate enough to have employer-supported pension plans in addition to government pension. And it turns out that 2010 was the first year in the country’s history where more public sector workers enjoyed this benefit than private sector workers. Author Mark Steyn talks about this problem in relation to the troubles in Europe. He refers to the “Government Party,” which is the ever-growing public sector, and the “Dependency Party,” which is everyone on pensions and welfare. When those two “parties” constitute a majority, they can force the government to satisfy their demands without regard to economic reality. This is what has happened in Greece. It is very close to happening in other European countries and today, B.C. is a step closer to it.

When the verdict came in on the HST referendum, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon talked about going around to consult the public on how to reinstate the provincial sales tax. He vowed that B.C. will somehow still balance its budget in two years and seemed to leave the door open to some minor modifications of the sales tax system. Premier Christy Clark quickly shut that door. It would be “disrespectful” to do anything other than bring back the post-war PST in all its rustic beauty, with the little boutique exemptions like bicycles and Toyota Priuses that have been attached by politicians over the years. Self-employed business people can now look forward to collecting and remitting two separate taxes again. There will be a cost to this “people’s victory.” It will involve reducing public services, raising taxes or both.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS

Say goodbye to pain Experience the benefits of Low Intensity Laser Light Therapy Knee Pain

Some other things to audit The Editor, Re. “Should the province appoint a municipal auditor general?” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, Aug. 26). Face to Face columnist Terry O’Neill is right when he states, “The taxpaying public has the right to know whether all levels of government, including the level that’s closest to home, are spending wisely.” Just as importantly, a municipal watchdog is necessary to ensure our elected officials are operating ethically and conscientiously in the best interests of, generally speaking, a disinterested, apathetic, too-busy taxpaying municipal resident so that: • Self-setting wage increases by our elected officials are reasonable and meet the test of experience and performance. • Double-dipping in the form of special meeting

My name is Lisa Porcellato and I received treatment on my right knee. I am a fitness instructor and I instruct several types of classes per week and I jog a couple of times per week as well. I was experiencing sharp pain directly under my knee cap. I came in for 5 treatments and after 3 I noticed a huge improvement. I am now resuming all of my fitness activities and my knee feels great. I have recommended laser light therapy to several people.

reimbursements and lost time at their municipal job is kept to an acceptable level in relation to their regular full-time job. • Travel expenses to Canadian municipal conferences or junkets to other countries to look at garbage incineration, etc. will be supported by a documented report with recommendations for implementation that all taxpayers have access to. • Those elected officials that are heavily supported with campaign funds from municipal employee unions or businesses dealing with the city will be carefully audited on matters affecting those special interests. • Elected officials are not engaged in speculative real estate or other money-making transactions that only they are privy to as a result of their positions and access to sensitive information. Murray Clare, Coquitlam

Lisa Porcellato

Knee Pain After several weeks of suffering I thought I had nothing to lose by giving laser treatment a try. After only 6 treatments I could walk again (short distances) and following the full course of treatments (14) my knee was back to 90% of where it was before I over-exerted the knee. I am now driving without pain and can walk a couple of miles without problem. I would thoroughly recommend anyone with knee pain consider a course of laser treatment.

Thanks for music and medical help The Editor, Port Coquitlam’s Music in the Park summer series is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with family and friends, and enjoy listening to talented musicians. It was the reason the Tri-Cities Amnesty International group chose to host its annual Taste for Justice barbecue at Lions Park on Aug. 21. Thanks to the musicians — Swing 2 Beat — and the city for a great event as well as our sponsors. Many people enjoyed our barbecue and signed petitions on behalf of prisoners of conscience in Iran and the Democratic Republic of Congo, women who are oppressed in Zimbabwe and indigenous women in Canada who have been kidnapped and murdered. Finally, thanks to Katie Furness-Moore and Gabrielle Clark, two young girls who gave up their Sunday to help defend human rights. Hazel Postma, Tri-Cities Amnesty International

The Editor, This is a letter of thanks to many people. Coquitlam Fire and Rescue and two BC Ambulance paramedics (Ryan and Clarke from Station 259) who helped me last week when I fell and broke both bones in my lower right leg on the Coquitlam Crunch. I know they had their workout for the day as I was in the middle of the biggest incline. Thank you so very much for getting me off there and safely to Eagle Ridge Hospital, where the nurses in the emergency room and the doctors were amazing and kept me very calm, especially after I saw the X-ray at how bad it really was. None of you will know how much I appreciate your help on that very scary day. Thank you very much. Diane Edgar, Port Coquitlam

Gerry O’Hara

Back Pain I hurt my back less than a year ago. I had unbearable pain the first six weeks anytime I moved. I was in constant pain that happened in any position I was in. My doctor recommended this treatment and within one session I noticed a difference. It took only 8 sessions and the pain was completely gone! Now we are starting on my neck!

Neighbours compete for playground funds By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A housing complex in Port Coquitlam is entering a contest in hopes that it will win funding to replace an aging neighbourhood playground. Erica Padley, president of the Meridian Village Tenant Association, said she and her neighbours have entered the Aviva Community Fund contest, which funds projects chosen by people through an online vote. Meridian Village will go up against similar entries from across the country, ranging in everything from community theatre programs to sports initiatives. Neighbours in the area, Padley said, are encouraging people from across the Tri-Cities to support their effort. “Our playground is really bad,” she said. “It is from the 1980s and one of the support beams is split in half. The slide is tagged. It is dangerous.” The playground has become so run down, she added, that Metro Vancouver, which administers the housing

After that, they will be relying on neighbours to support their cause. Voters are allowed to vote once a day during the 10-day voting period and the entry that has the most support will be able to go to the next round, which will take place this winter. More than $1 million in funding is available in the Aviva contest, and is distributed to several different entries, depending on what is being sought. • For more information about the Aviva Community Fund or to go to www.avivacommunityfund.org. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

complex, has cordoned off the area. More than 200 units make up the Meridian Village housing complex but Padley said many kids from around the neighbourhood use the playground. And now that the slide and climbing area at nearby Birchland elementary has been burned by vandals, she said the kids in the area have nowhere to go. The play area at Birchland was torched last week and is not expected to be rebuilt until the fall. Padley said the tenant association will make its submission to the contest website on Sept. 26.

When students at Port Coquitlam’s Birchland elementary return to school next week, they will have to find somewhere other than the playground to share stories about their summer. That is because the much of the climbing equipment as well as the slide and trolley were set on fire, sustaining significant damage and requiring a full replacement at a cost of $30,000. “I wouldn’t say this happens often but when it does, it is very distressing,� said Cheryl Quinton, manager of communications and cor porate services with School District 43. “This is equipment that the children really enjoy.� The fire occur red in the after noon of Aug. 15, and while new equipment has been ordered, Quinton said it is unlikely the structure will be put up in time for the beginning of the school year. Four platforms were destroyed, half of the track ride was burned and a slide contributed by the city of Port Coquitlam was melted underneath. The flames also consumed the double slide, the summit climber, two benches and six posts, and much of the surfacing was bur nt, among other damage. Insurance will cover the cost to re place the playg round but Quinton said many playground additions are purchased with funds raised by parent advisory councils (PAC) and additions would not be covered. She added that she was unaware if Birchland’s PAC had raised any money to for their playground. Much of the fire was contained to the southeast corner of the structure, which was installed in March 2008. The Coquitlam RCMP said so far they have no suspects in the case. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP non-emergency reporting line at 604945-1550. Those who wish to provide information anonymously can do so by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS) or by going online at www. solvecrime.ca. gmckenna@ tricitynews.com

Crossley will not be subject to conditions after release continued from front page

“You continue to endanger the safety of others, on occasion spontaneously but often with some level of pre-planning, and frequently involving the use of weapons,” the board said in its reasons for decision. “You do not display a genuine remorse for the victims and clearly hold a personal belief that accepts and endorses violence.” Crossley was initially eligible for automatic release in October 2010 after serving two thirds of his six-year sentence. But due to his behaviour behind bars, the parole board decided to use a legal provision that allows it to keep a prisoner incarcerated beyond his automatic release date. That decision was reviewed last week, and the board once again decided that Crossley is not ready to re-join society and should remain in prison until his full sentence is complete on June 18, 2012. Danielle Charois, the regional communications officer with the Parole Board of Canada,

CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A memorial was set up in Port Coquitlam following the death of Jesse Penner, who was stabbed outside a house party in 2006. told The Tri-City News in a letter that once Crossley hits his release date, there will be no transition period when he gets out of prison. “Neither the PBC nor the Correctional Service of Canada will have any further authority over the case,” she said. “He will not be subject to any supervision or conditions.” In February 2007, Crossley was sentenced to six years in prison, less a year for time served, after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

A year prior, he was at a house party when h e p e p p e r- s p r aye d 20-year-old Penner and then ran away. Penner chased after him and a fight ensued, during which Crossley stabbed Penner before fleeing again. Penner was taken to hospital but later died from his wounds. During the judge’s sentencing in 2007, he noted Crossley, then 16, had 10 prior convictions, some for violent assaults. The judge also noted that at the time he killed Penner, Crossley

was on a supervised release awaiting sentencing — with conditions that he not possess a weapon and that he obey a curfew — for another offence. Gord Penner, Jesse’s father, said he is concerned with what will happen after Crossley is released. While he is angry with the man who took his son’s life, Penner said the entire system has failed in this case. It was noted in the parole board’s review that Crossley had suffered two separate head injuries at an early age that may contribute to his violent outbursts. At 14, he was diagnosed by a psychiatrist as having a severe conduct disorder. Penner said someone should have been able to intervene in Crossley’s case before his son was killed. “I do understand the situation,” he said. “At one point, this was a child. A lot of people don’t have a chance right out of the womb and [Crossley] is one of those people. It is tragic but the damage is done.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Tri-City residents have become accustomed to seeing bears in their community. Unfortunately, when garbage and other human food sources are available, the animals find their way into yards and driveways. Below are some of the stories and photos submitted by Tri-City Newss readers about their bear experiences.

Bears on our streets are a fact of life in Tri-Cities Bears not problem The Editor, I am black bear fan who moved to Port Coquitlam last spring and I am surprised to discover people referring to the problem as a “bear problem” when the only issue I see is people not using any sense when it comes to respecting bears when we moved into their home. It’s all about respecting something that could potentially do you harm. Bears are curious and, like humans, if they smell something good they will go and investigate. I am a keen wildlife photographer from Scotland so I was very excited to encounter bears last year on my evening walks. My first bear encounter was coming across a bear in a field as he was eating something in the tall grass and when he stood up for a closer inspection, I can still remember the hairs standing up all over my body as I froze, acknowledging this was a very cool moment. The bear checked me out and I backed off slowly. The bear then carried on as if I hadn’t ever shown up, which proves they aren’t really that interested in us — apart from our garbage, that is. The second photo was one I was very happy to get later in the year when I came across a not-so-happy bear based on the look he gave me right beside a bear sign. But again he gave me a look that said “Give me space, pal” so I did and then he carried on his merry way. Jamie Douglas, Port Coquitlam

Bruin gave a sniff The Editor, Before Port Moody had the new “bearproof ” garbage cans, we had quite the bear problems up on Heritage Mountain. Bears in our garages, bears in our garbage, bears in our yard — everywhere. One day, my son J.C. Polidoro, walked to buy himself a treat at the local 7-Eleven store. He purchased something to eat and a drink and started to walk back down the hill. Not looking where he was going (a route he knew all too well), he proceeded down the hill on the trail leading to our street. As he neared the corner of the path, he heard something. He paused and looked up to see a large black bear. He froze as the bear proceeded to walk right up to him. The bear sniffed him (as a dog would) in greeting, turned and lumbered away. Needless to say, once the bear was out of sight, J.C. quickly made his way home,

Left, a Port Coquitlam wildlife photographer snapped this shot of a bear at its full height. Right, a Port Moody resident captured this image of a bear before the city brought in its bear-proof garbage cans. where his grandfather notified the conservation officers. Although J.C. felt the bear was quite large, the officers said that it must have been a young, “curious” bear, as generally adult bears don’t go that close to people. Thank goodness the bear decided that J.C. wasn’t worth bothering with and thank goodness J.C. still wasn’t holding his treats from the store. It only shows how comfortable the bears have become living in our neighbourhood. We have noticed, however, that since we have the new locked garbage cans, there were few bears in the area. Let’s hope it stays that way! L. Polidoro, Port Moody

Um, behind you... The Editor, A few years ago, my brother and I were walking home after at lunch time. We had just crossed Pipeline Road in front of the Windsor Glen trailer park (which is no longer there) when an SUV pulled up next to us. A woman rolled down her window and said there was a bear walking behind us. We turned around and there was a bear casually crossing the road behind us, about 15 to 20 feet away. see DANCING ON THE HOOD, HOOD, page 17

Make sure your food scraps go in your green can because it is picked up first; doing so will result in fewer bears knocking over garbage cans to get at food waste. Bearresistant bins are available at city hall for $140 plus taxes. It is a resident’s responsibility to keep garbage away from bears; failing to do so may result in a $500 fine.

Bears are drawn to the smell of food, so securely store your garbage until the morning of collection day. If possible, keep it indoors in a garage or garden shed, and remove all ripe fruit, bird seed, dirty barbecue grills and anything else that might attract bears. Tri-City municipalities have bylaws restricting garbage set out times between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. on collection day.

Garbage bylaws will soon be updated; until that’s done, residents are requested not to put garbage in plastic bags which can be picked apart by animals including bears. • For up-to-date information on managing bear attractants, visit www.bearaware.bc.ca. • To make a complaint about a problem bear, call the Conservation Officer Service at 1-877-952-7277 (RAPP). dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Bear prints The Editor I would like to relate to you my experience Saturday afternoon when, leaving the house, I discovered my large, empty garbage bin opened and thrown down the driveway.

On closer inspection, they revealed themselves to be footprints (above) belonging to what I surmise was a bear cub. We live on Mariner

It’s all organic down on the (Colony) Farm Event showcased gardens By James Maclennan THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Growing organic fruit and veggies isn’t as difficult as some might think. And with the right soil and plenty of sunshine, the Colony Far m Community Gardens can be one of the best places in Coquitlam to grow clean produce. That’s the message garden president Ginny Wilson shared Sunday with visitors during the second annual tour of the community gardens. “What we want to showcase is how successful you can be growing flowers, fruits and vegetables using only organic practices,” she said. Dozens of green-thumbed enthusi-

asts broke into guided groups as they toured the 250-plot, seven-acre grid. Inquisitive guests asked questions about plot sizes and growing techniques while others quietly observed the huge variety of plants that grow in the volunteer-based community. Coquitlam residents who don’t have the means to garden at home are welcome to rent 10-by-25-foot plots but, as one, tour guide warned, a typical plot requires at least two visits per week to keep up with weeding, watering and other gardening duties. Wilson also wants people to realize that the Colony Farm is the last significant piece of farm land in the city and by attending the tour at the community gardens, people will see how it can be used to its full potential. newsroom@tricitynews.com

NOTICE OF WRITTEN PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS RIVER DISTRICT ENERGY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP An Application by River District Energy Limited Partnership for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to Construct and Operate a District Energy System for the River District Development located along the Fraser River in Southeast Vancouver and Rates for the First Five Years of Operation THE APPLICATION On July 27, 2011, River District Energy (RDE) applied to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (Commission) for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to construct and operate a district energy utility (DEU) to provide energy service to The River District located on former industrial lands along the Fraser River in southeast Vancouver, BC, and for approval of the proposed revenue requirement, rate design and rates for the first five years of operation, as well as rate stabilization deferral account to levelize rates over a 20-year period (the Application). The DEU at The River District comprises initially a temporary energy center, then a permanent energy center both using natural gas boilers with a distribution piping system and energy transfer stations to deliver thermal energy and domestic hot water to customers at individual buildings. The long-term development plan includes build out of the DEU infrastructure and River District over 23 years to include a renewable energy transfer station and connection to Metro Vancouver’s waste to energy facility in Burnaby. RDE is proposing a 20-year levelized rate mechanism in order to provide reasonable and competitive rates to customers in the early years of the project. The proposed rate would initially be $86.65 per MW.h and escalate at 8 percent per year through 2016 established to be competitive with forecast BC Hydro rates. The rate would then increase at a more modest level of approximately 3 percent with an overall levelized rate over 20 years of $150 per MW.h forecast for the planned development. THE REGULATORY PROCESS Commission Order G-141-11 establishes a Regulatory Timetable for the review of the Application by way of a Written Public Hearing.

Dance classes for kids, adults Parents and their children can learn to dance together as part of the Tiny Tutus class. The lessons are not true ballet, but rather an introduction to dance with emphasis on the basic elements of movement, coordination, musicality and group interaction skills. The instructor may call on parents or guardians to participate with their child, which means they must remain in the building for the duration of the class. Ballet for Children is also offered at Place des Arts, giving students a taste of movement and ballet style.

Ben Freemantle, 16, with fellow dancers at the Caulfield School of Dance in Port Moody, where he has been a student for about four years. This week, he started a year-long program at the San Francisco Ballet School, on a full-tuition scholarship.

Freemantle takes first step in Frisco Port Moody secondary student is one of eight international students at the San Francisco Ballet School this year By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It wasn’t for me.� His parents — artist Ian Freemantle and ArtsConnect president Marianne LaRochelle, a Tri-City Newss sales representative — recommended he sign up with the Caulfield School of Dance, where his brother took contemporary dance and ballet. “Ben took his first ballet class in January of 2008. He was 12-and-a-half,� principal Cori Caulfield remembers. “Thankfully, we had a once-a-week beginner teen ballet class so we didn’t have to to put him in with little girls.� Although he was disciplined, musical and able to learn and memorize movement sequences, his Irish dancing background didn’t translate. “He was starting from zero in every aspect of physicality that is ballet,� Caulfield says; however, “Ben learned the basics of classical dance more quickly than any student I have ever seen and his development continues to be nothing less than astounding.� During his Caulfield years, Freemantle took part in competitions, earned numerous awards and scholarships and won spots at summer intensives, namely, with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Pacific Northwest Ballet and, last month, the San Francisco Ballet School, where he was one of 200 young people from around the world. The summer schools “gave me a boost. I was doing advanced learning while other dancers at home were sitting on the couch,� he says. see BALLET,, page g 32

enjamin Freemantle just turned 16 and acts like a typical teenager. The Grade 11 Port Moody secondary student is polite but mumbles. He likes to hang out with his buddies. And he’s learning how to drive. But he’s anything but average. By the time this article is published, he’ll be on his third day at the San Francisco Ballet School, one of the top training programs in North America that recently offered him a full-tuition scholarship. He insists he won’t get homesick during his year away. “I’ll be Skyping twice a week with my mom. I’ll miss my friends but I’ve been away before. It’s no big deal,� he says with a shrug. Freemantle was one of 20 new upper-level students from the SFBS summer session to be invited into the annual program. The Level 7 student will be taught technique for 1.75 hours a day, Monday to Saturday, plus batterie or pas de deux for 85 minutes a day, Monday to Friday. As well, he’ll take part in a weekly music class, and student showcase and company rehearsals. He’s also allowed to drop in at a nearby

contemporary dance studio for lessons. And, in his spare time, Freemantle is expected to keep up with his PMSS studies online. But he’s most looking forward to hanging out with his new pal, a Level 8 ballet dancer from Prince George that he met at summer school; the pair are among eight international enrollees in the 400-student body. “It’ll be nice to have someone else around from Canada,� Freemantle says. SFBS’s Lauren White said students are evaluated twice a year and, in June, are promoted, asked to repeat their level, or released. Freemantle said he expects SFBS will be strict, but “I feel I will stick it out until the end, even if I don’t like it.... Ballet is my life. I really don’t do anything else.� Dancing has been in his blood since he was seven when his parents signed him up with the Penk O’Donnell School of Irish Dance, where his older sister took classes. “I remember kicking and screaming as I was being dragged there,� he recalls. “I was at the back of the class and a little confused about what was going on.� “Ben’s talent was obvious right from the start,� his teacher, Deirdre Penk O’Donnell, remembers. “Besides the fact that he was absolutely adorable and had huge natural ability, he was also very motivated and it was easy to instill a good work ethic in him.� By nine, he was a champion Irish dancer and, at 11, he ranked in the Top 10 in North America for males. Still, at 12 he quit, unsure about what future he could have with Irish dancing. “There’s not a lot you can do with it. It’s a small community and the highest you can go is Riverdance.

The Royal City Youth Ballet is calling for dancers as young as seven years old to audition on either Sept. 10 or 11 in New Westminster for the November and December production. Audition times start at noon on Sept. 10 for juniors, with intermediates and advanced dancers on stage at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m., respectively.

TOUR GROUP

A girls’ choir that has five Coquitlam singers and whose director is a former Tri-City resident is looking for new voices. The BC Girls Tour Choir, which includes Juliana Carpenetti, Amalia Urloiu, Diana Emelianova, Sara Lahey and Makayla Zanatta, and director Fiona Blackburn, sang before thousands of people in July while visiting Utah, Montana and Wyoming, including an audience of 15,000 at the Utah State University Stadium on July 4. “Taking the singers beyond our borders is an important aspect of our program,” Blackburn said in a news release. “In the past few years, we’ve sung in Australia, China and Europe; on this tour to the States, we took girls as young as 10 years old. Canada should be very proud of the way they sang — like true professionals.” Visit www.bcgirlschoir.org.

JAMES MACLENNAN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody secondary student Ben Freemantle at the Caulfield School of Dance.

SFBS was unlike his past summers as it taught strong classical ballet skills; that is, there was no room for dif ferent styles, he said. T here, he lear ned the steps to his favourite piece, William Forsythe’s In The Middle, Somewhat Elevated. He has no role models, he said. Rather, he studies dancers’ form and flow, and tries to mimic their actions for his self-cheorographed numbers. “I like So You Think You Can Dance? I see how flexible they are, where they put their feet. I think, ‘How can I do that better?’” In October, he’ll perform one of his own solo numbers when he returns home to take part in the second annual Dancing With Our Stars, a fundraiser for Crossroads Hospice Society, at Red Robinson Show Theatre in Coquitlam. He won’t make a career from choreography. “I want to be a principal dancer,” he says. “I like performing. I like the lights on my face and I like the audience’s reaction. I always like to see that I’m making the connection. “That makes me really happy.”

King Edward Overpass The City of Coquitlam is developing a long-term planning strategy to support continued and diverse growth in the southwest area that will benefit not only the city as a whole, but businesses’ long-term success. With the King Edward Overpass and new land use potential at the rivers edge of the old Fraser Mills site, the United Boulevard area will become a focal point for investment for years to come with a mix of residential, commercial and retail opportunities. The existing King Edward underpass is being replaced with an overpass over both Highway 1 and the railway lines and will provide many benefits to the United Boulevard area. When completed the new overpass will: Y Replace the aging underpass, which has narrow lanes and minimal shoulders with a new overpass. Y Reduce congestion and improve traffic movement between Lougheed Highway and United Boulevard with four lanes for traffic that pass over Highway 1 and the railroad tracks. Y Maintain direct access from Maillardville to Pacific Reach area, local businesses and the Fraser River. Y Enhance cycling and pedestrian movements with a new, 4-metre wide multi-use path that connects Maillardville at Mackin Park on the north side to the proposed river front development at Fraser Mills on the south side. Y Provide new cycling lanes along King Edward Street. While construction continues in this area, please note that the United Boulevard and Woolridge areas are still accessible via the East end of United Boulevard near the Mary Hill Bypass, as well as at the West end via Braid Street and the Bailey Bridge. There is also a direct exit from Highway 1 eastbound onto United Boulevard. Please support our southwest businesses and keep our retail community thriving.

Did You Know? The 2011 General Local Election will be held on Saturday, November 19, 2011. The electors of the City of Coquitlam will vote to select: * 1 Mayor * 8 Councillors * 4 School Trustees

Minto Cup evades Jr. A’s By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A

djectives such as “devastating” and “disappointing” spilled off the tongues of the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs on Monday, upon arriving home after stomaching sour defeat in their bid for a second straight Minto Cup national Jr. ‘A’ lacrosse championship. “Determined” might be the best word to describe the winning Whitby Warriors. After dropping Friday’s first game of the best-of-three final 12-9 to the Jr. A’s in Okotoks, Alta., the Warriors of Ontario rallied for a 5-4 victory Saturday and a series-clinching 12-7 triumph Sunday to claim their first Canadian crown since 1999. “It’s devastating... we’re hurting as a team right now,” said Jr. A’s head coach Curt Malawsky. “We have a fair number of senior guys who were looking forward

Serving the Community for 26 years.

to going out on top and it didn’t happen. It was a game of inches and their goalie [Zack Higgins] made some good saves. A goal here or there could have made the difference and we easily could have won.” Higgins was indeed outstanding down the stretch, blocking 42 shots in the deciding game –– one in which the Jr. A’s got out-scored 4-0 in the third period. “It’s very disappointing,” said Jr. A’s general manager Ken Wood. “We played extremely well but Whitby matched our intensity the last two games. They changed their defence and closed up the middle... they took away all our scoring lanes and they got phenomenal goaltending.” Matthew Dinsdale staked the Jr. A’s to 1-0 lead 23 seconds in Sunday but Whitby rattled off the game’s next four goals. Coquitlam hung tough, with a Ben McIntosh marker shaving the Warriors’ margin to 8-7 with just 13 seconds left in the second frame before what proved a di-

sastrous final 20 minutes for the Jr. A’s. Coquitlam dominated the four-team tournament, which also featured the Edmonton Eclipse and the host Okotoks Raiders, up until Saturday. They racked up three straight round-robin victories, out-scoring their opponents 38-15, including a convincing 14-8 triumph Aug. 21 over Whitby, then peppered in six straight second period goals to beat the Warriors by three in the final’s Game 1 Friday. After that game, Warriors head coach Derek Keenan had some heated words for Malawsky, who he claimed was chirping at his players following the game and called it “bush.” The comments made nextday news in The Calgary Herald, where Malawsky defended his actions, saying: “He [Keenan] can interpret that however he wants to interpret that... I was just sticking up for my players.”

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam’s A.J. Ewart was in the golf groove last weekend in the B.C. Bantam boys provincial championship at the Nico Wynd course in Surrey. A member of Pitt Meadows Golf Club, the 12-year-old Ewart fired a pair of sizzling 68 rounds to finish at four-under-par 136 to win the 30-shooter tournament by three strokes. “Every time I missed a green I managed to get it up and down,” Ewart said. “My shots from the fairway weren’t great but I putted very well. I feel really good and, hopefully, I can win again next year.” Henry Lee, also of Coquitlam and a member of Swan-e-set Bay Resort, shot 139 –– with a second round-best 67 –– to finish runner-up via retrogression to snap a three-way deadlock for second at oneunder each with Vancouver’s Sy Lovan and Alex Francois of Burnaby. In the Bantam girls tourney also at Nico Wynd, Coquitlam resident Shania Remandaban placed second among 12 finishers with a 76-76-152 total. The Pitt Meadows Golf Club member was a distant 11 strokes back of Victoria’s Naomi Ko, who

LINDBJERG 3RD AT SR. NATS

Port Moody’s Gudmund Lindbjerg fired four steady rounds at the 2011 Canadian Senior Mens Golf Championship last week in Port Blanford, Nfld. Unfortunately for him, Chip Lutz of Reading, Pa., was smokin’ hot. A Pitt Meadows Golf Club member, Lindbjerg was the top Canadian in the field of 68 finishers, finishing third at nine-over-par 293, while Lutz was the clear winner by nine strokes at seven-under 277, including a sizzling 68 on Friday’s final day at Twin Rivers Golf Course. Defending-champion Paul Simson of Raleigh, N.C. placed second at two-over 286. Lindjberg beat the next-best Canadian and fourth-place finisher Gerry MacMillan of Kingston, N.S. by four strokes after MacMillan finished at 13-over 297. The reigning B.C. champion Lindbjerg, who won his fourth straight provincial title last week in Squamish, shot his best round at the Canadians on opening-day Monday, when the 62-year-old carded a 70.

Some consider the war of words between the two bench bosses as the turning point in the series in Whitby’s favour, although Keenan told The Tri-City News on Tuesday he didn’t see it quite that way. “The players play the game on the floor,” Keenan said on the phone from Whitby. “The impact of coaching is very limited, especially in box lacrosse. Sure, there was some gamesmanship between Curt and me. He’s a competitor and so am I. Our guys just went out the last two games, made some plays and got some timely goals.” T h e J r.

Wood and Jr. A’s governor Rocky Zimmerman announced shortly after the team was for sale but an official buyer has yet to come into play. W h e n asked about the position of team ownership and Malawsky, Wood said frankly: “We just got back [from the Minto Cup]. Those questions will be answered at a later date.” RAG LINE: The Jr. A’s Casey Jackson tied with Whitby’s Mark Matthews for the tournament scoring lead, each with 30 points in six and seven games respectively.

CHILDREN

Nov 20, 1928 ~ Aug 24, 2011 It is with great sorrow we regret to announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend who went to be with other loved ones that have also left us. Phyllis was born and raised in Dauphin, Manitoba to Emerson and Ruby Brook. She moved to British Columbia to work and later met and married the love of her life Alfred Lutz. The couple settled in Port Coquitlam and raised their family. Phyllis had a special gift for entertaining guests. Everyone knew that Phyllis’ home was the place to find friends, conversation, and great food. In her life she enjoyed many things, including camping, visiting friends and family, and gardening. Phyllis also loved to crochet and spent many years working as an unofficial seamstress for a variety of people. In the second half of her life, Phyllis relocated to Armstrong to be closer to her children and extended family. Phyllis Lutz was predeceased by her father Emerson, her mother Ruby, brothers; Ron, Cliff, and Alvin, her sisters-in-law Verna and Eileen, and her beloved partner and friend Alfred. She will be greatly missed, but never forgotten by her son Randy (Cheryl) and their two sons; Kevin and Jerad, her daughter Cheryl (Gerry) Mathieson and their two daughters; Dayna Mathieson and Laura Hamilton, extended family daughter Ellen (Norm) Mathieson and their sons; Bill, Michael and Steven. Phyllis will also be remembered by her sisters; Gwen (Gib) Volk, Minnetta Brook, her brother Mervin Brook as well as countless nieces and nephews. The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Pleasant Valley Manor for their caring, compassion and special attention over the year. There will be a graveside service in Port Coquitlam, B.C. on Sept 3, 2011 at 12:30 pm. If friends so desire memorial donations may be made directly to Pleasant Valley Manor, C/O The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, 2101 32nd St., Vernon, BC, V1T 5L2. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.myalternatives.ca.
