Lock out crooks in the heat
The high cost of living (here)
Some victims of B&E’s have left windows open
By Sarah PayneTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Don’t be tempted to leave your windows open to get relief from the blazing summer sunshine, Coquitlam Mounties are warning.
A rash of residen-tial break-ins in Port Coquitlam’s Woodland Acres neighbourhood (between Glen and Westwood parks) ap-pears to be the work of an opportunistic thief. Of the seven break-ins re-ported to police, about half were accessed through open windows — and mostly occurred during the daytime on
weekdays.Other areas high-
lighted in the Coquitlam RCMP’s bi -weekly CompStat Alert include Burquitlam (Como Lake Avenue to Smith Avenue and from Emerson Street to Townley Street), where another four daytime residential break-ins were reported. Access was mainly through forced window entries into houses and base-ment suites.
Coquitlam RCMP are recommending residents close and lock all win-dows, doors and patio doors when leaving the house — and when they’re at home sleep-ing — emphasizing that a window screen will not keep a burglar from get-ting inside.
By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Does it cost too much to live in Coquitlam?
According to a new city report, many resi-dents — both owners and renters — are strug-gling to make ends meet.
And the future doesn’t look much brighter, with rents and mortgages ex-pected to soar as the pop-ulation booms, especially near the Evergreen Line.
In Coquitlam, a quar-ter of households — more than 11,420 of the city’s 41,245 homes — spend more than 30% of their in-
come on housing and 9% — more than 3,500 house-holds — allocate more than half of their earnings on accommodation.
21,888 cookies – 76 dozen a week – and $60,000 later, Hazel Akai retires
SARAH PAYNE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
For the past 10 years, Port Coquitlam’s Hazel Akai has baked dozens and dozens — and dozens and dozens — of cookies each week to distribute in the downtown Vancouver office where she works, raising tens of thousands of dollars for charity. Now, she’s retiring. Read her story on page 3. see HOUSING, page 7

River trip starts tomorrow and wraps on Aug. 24
By Sarah PayneThe TRi-CiTy News
Port Coquitlam resi-dents Alex Ensworth and Katie Furness-Moore will spend the next three weeks paddling, raft-ing, hiking and camping under the stars as they travel the length of the mighty Fraser River, learning about sustain-able living along the way.
“It’s the trip of a life-time,” said Ensworth, a third-year applied physics student at SFU. “Everyone we’ve talked to agreed, including past participants. They all say
that it’s amazing and you can’t pass it up.”
It was his girlfriend, Furness-Moore, a nurs-
ing student at Douglas College, who encour-
aged him to apply for the Sustainable Living Leadership Program sponsored by the Rivershed Society of BC. She heard about the program from New Westminster-Coquitlam MP Fin Donnelly.
Both Ensworth and Furness-Moore grew up camping and both are avid paddlers, so the prospect of canoeing and rafting down the Fraser and living outdoors for three weeks is one they’re eagerly looking forward to.
They can expect to see abundant wildlife — plenty of salmon, eagles, moose and bears, the latter preferably from some distance, Ensworth joked.
“We both thought it
was really cool and had to do it,” Ensworth said. “It’s the whole thing, from start to finish, going down the headwaters in Mount Robson and then finishing at the Jericho Sailing Club in Vancouver — we’re both just excited for the whole thing.”
The group leaves Thursday and wraps up the trip on Sunday, Aug. 24 (they’ll be paddling through the Coquitlam stretch of the Fraser on Aug. 20).
A l o n g t h e way Ensworth and Furness-Moore will document the trip with a photo jour-nal (participants must complete a sustainabil-ity project as part of the trip).
“We want to see how
the river changes, not just the look of it but mainly how the local people use it,” Ensworth said. “As we go down, we’ll be interviewing people and seeing how they interact with it and how they depend on it, and what changes they’ve noticed.”
They plan to com-pile the photos, show-ing the river’s changing face as it moves from isolated wilderness in B.C.’s northeast to heav-ily traveled industrial uses through the Lower Mainland, and have it published.

PoCo’s cookie-making maven fed 10 floors of sweet-toothed bean counters
By Sarah PayneThe TRi-CiTy News
For the past 10 years, Hazel Akai has had a weekly ritual that
starts on Sunday night as she washes her collection of plastic containers and readies her suitcase.
Rather than preparing for an exotic trip, how-ever, Akai is assembling supplies to make cook-ies — a mind-boggling lot of cookies — for her co-workers.
We’re talking more than 900 cookies — that’s 76 dozen.
And in case you fig-ured Akai must use an industrial kitchen with supersize equipment, you would be wrong.
The Port Coquitlam grandmother pulls it off in her own kitchen, using nothing but a red ceramic bowl, a worn-down, warped wooden spoon, a soup spoon to drop the batter onto the AirBake cookie sheets she swears by, and mixes batch after batch — after batch after batch — by hand.
A mixer would make too much noise and Akai doesn’t want to wake up her daughter or her grandson, who’s almost two years old.
“A lot of times, I do it late at night,” said Akai, a night owl. Besides, she adds in a no-nonsense voice, it only takes five minutes to put a batch together and all that hand-mixing is good exercise, too.
With 10 dozen peanut butter cookies under her belt on Sunday night, Akai heads downtown to start the work week early Monday morn-ing and spends the day compiling documents for PricewaterhouseCoopers corporate income tax cli-ents in a cubicle covered
with family photos. Monday and Tuesday
nights are for her famous chocolate chip cookies, and that’s when the pro-duction line really ramps up.
Out come the red bowl, the trusted wooden spoon (which is more like half a spoon now), the cookie sheets, the flour, sugar and eggs.
Each batch makes about six dozen cook-
ies, and while one batch cooks away in the oven getting perfectly fluffy and ooey-gooey soft, with just the right amount of chocolate chips waiting to melt in your mouth, Akai makes the next batch of batter.
She makes about four or five batches each night, packs them in the plastic containers and stows them carefully in her suit-case, which she wheels on
to the West Coast Express every Wednesday morn-ing. (About two years ago, when her grandson was born, Akai scaled back production to every two weeks.)
Akai’s co-workers — all 10 floors of them — know that Wednesday is cookie day, and they’re waiting.
“Sometimes they’re gone by noon,” Akai said. “It depends which floor.”
The 14th floor, where the associates toil away, is a quick one. “It’s a lot of young, growing men and they need their cookie fix,” Akai said with a smile.
Come spring, when it’s all hands on deck dur-ing the busy tax season, there’s a steady stream of stressed-out accountants making a dash to the kitchen for a handful of cookies.
Like her mother, who was always handing
out freshly baked cake doughnuts to the neigh-bourhood kids, Akai takes satisfaction in knowing her co-workers are enjoy-ing her treats.
But she also does it to raise money for charities close to her heart after surviving breast cancer 24 years ago. Akai has raised more than $60,000, donat-ing to the CIBC Run for the Cure event, Weekend to End Breast Cancer, Big Bike for Heart and Stroke, the United Way and the Terry Fox Foundation.
(She also bakes 18 dozen cookies each Sunday morning and brings them to Coquitlam Alliance Church, where she attends services, and once a month she helps distribute clothing and personal items to home-less people with the Union Gospel Mission. “It’s really rewarding, and makes
you thank God you have what you have,” Akai said.)
Pricewaterhouse-Coopers has generously paid for the ingredients for Akai’s cookies and last year recognized her chari-table efforts with the 2013 BC CEO Communities award. Her co-workers also compiled a YouTube video (search for “Hazel’s Cookies” at www.youtube.com) paying tribute to her cookie-fuelled fundraising legacy.
“It’s the simplicity and consistency of Hazel’s cookies that has made her fundraising so effec-tive and well loved,” said John DeLucchi, PwC’s managing partner for the B.C. region. “Hazel has made a truly remarkable contribution to our firm and her dedication to our community will be greatly missed.”
After this week, you see, the number-crunchers will have to look else-where for their weekly treats. Akai is retiring in a couple of weeks and today (Wednesday) marks her last cookie deposit.
“I’m going to be 68 in December, so I think I should slow down and enjoy life,” Akai said.
She plans to use her suitcase for something other than cookies, this time packing for a trip to see her sister in Dawson City, Yukon, followed by a sisters’ cross-country road trip in a “hippie van.”
And there’s a good chance Akai will keep on baking.
Even though she has baked about 24,000 cook-ies in 10 years, Akai never tires of the sweet little gems.
“I like cookies and sweets,” she admits matter-of-factly. “I’m a choca-holic.”
HAZEL’S COOKIES OVER THE YEARS, BY THE NUMBERS
Hazel Akai’s co-workers honoured her with a video as part of their annual community awards in 2013; below are the numbers compiled to show what has gone into 10 years of cookies:
• number of cookies baked: 21,888• pounds of sugar used: 13,634 • pounds of flour: 12,488• pounds of butter: 7,410• pounds of salt: 74• pounds of chocolate chips: 22,230• number of eggs: 26,640• litres of vanilla extract: 146

Cops seek criminals
Coquitlam RCMP are searching for a Vancouver woman wanted in connection with an alleged fraud at Coquitlam Centre.
The woman al-legedly used a stolen credit card to buy electronic goods at the mall on July 12, 2013. She’s wanted on an arrest warrant for breach of a condi-tional sentence order, obstructing a peace of-ficer and using a stolen credit card.
Lorna Ruud is de-scribed as a 46-year-old Caucasian woman, 5’8” tall and weighing 137 lb. with brown hair and blue eyes. Mounties say she sometimes uses an alias; two that she al-legedly uses frequently are Lorna Yates and Barbara Lynn Chaplin.
Anyone with in-formation is asked to contact Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 (quote file number 2013-20289) or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Police are also asking for the pub-lic’s help in locating a number of stolen items taken during a residential break-in. Sometime during the day on July 7, suspects pried open a kitchen window to break into a home on Sugarpine Court on Westwood Plateau. Once inside, the suspects ransacked the house and stole a large amount of jew-elry, including a dia-mond ring and a Rolex watch as well as de-signer handbags.
Coquitlam RCMP are urging the pub-lic to review photos of the stolen items at coquitlam.rcmp-grc.gc.ca and contact po-lice at 604-945-1550 if you know their where-abouts.

Bulging, Herniated or Worn Discs may be to Blame for Sciatica, Pain and Numbness in Legs
Did you know that over 30 million North Americans suf-fer from back and neck pain every day? Whether spine and back problems result from an auto accident, injury, or have crept up over time, sciatica and herniated discs are often misunderstood and improperly treated. They can result in pain and numbness anywhere in the body. This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. You might not even be able to sleep at night without pain. If you suffer from debilitating pain, we are here to tell you that there is hope. We have the technology and decades of expe-rience to help you find relief from disc problems and sciatica. The Spinal Decompression Institute focuses on treating all disc and spine-related conditions with advanced non-surgical treatments. We are so confident that we can help you find relief that we are offering a complimentary consultation to the first 25 callers.
Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal...Without Drugs or SurgeryDecompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression achieves this by
Disclaimer: Due to Federal Law some exclusions may apply.
creating negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intradiscal pressure. This creates essentially a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc mate-rial back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression allows the body to heal itself naturally and is only one of many treatment options available at Spinal Decompression Institute.
Class IV Therapeutic LaserThe Spinal Decompression Institute employs a variety of high-tech solutions along with decades of experience to help alleviate your particular pain. Along with spinal de-compression, our Class IV Therapeutic Laser Therapy is an outpatient, nonsurgical procedure which is often used in sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by stimulat-ing the body’s natural healing processes, providing pain relief and reducing injury and damage. This leading-edge technology has shown results in returning patients to work, sports and competitive activities, as well as everyday life. Laser therapy is just one of the treatment options that Spinal Decompression Institute offers as a non-invasive option for those facing surgery.
Who is a Candidate for Spinal Decompression? With 7 out of 10 people experiencing low back and neck pain at some point in their lives and those types of pain being the most common reasons for patient visits to primary care physicians as well as hospitalization, there is no doubt that back and neck pain exists in epidemic proportions today.
Many spinal conditions can be treated, including pain due to bulging and herniated discs, degenerated discs, sciatica, low back pain, neck pain and much more. If you have chronic or severe back pain, you may be a can-didate for spinal decompression treatment. At the Spinal Decompression Institute, we will evaluate your condi-tion and only recommend treatment if it’s right for you.

No charges for tenant but big fine for landlord
By Gary McKennaThe Tri-CiTy News
The owners of a Port Coquitlam home have been slapped with a $12,000 fine after receiv-ing a controlled substance property declaration, de-spite the fact that there was no marijuana grow opera-tion in the rental house.
PoCo council voted against reducing the charge after the Mary Hill Road homeowners ap-pealed the decision, asking that the fee be waived. They stated in a letter to the city that the tenants who were renting the home when it was raided by police last winter were never charged with a criminal offence and there was no evidence of controlled substances being found on the prop-erty.
“The house was not a grow op and, to the best of our knowledge, there were no drugs found in the house,” owners Robert, Christopher and Harvey Douglas stated in their ap-peal to the city. “We have asked the [Coquitlam] RCMP and the city to show us any evidence of proof but neither are willing to do so, stating privacy rules for the tenant.”
The issue stems from an incident last winter when the Coquitlam RCMP’s Prolific Target Team raided the home. Police say they found knives, bear spray, scales, the magazine for a Glock handgun and a small amount of drugs.
But according to a city staff report, it took
Mounties 18 minutes to gain entry to the home, during which time investi-gators believe the suspects flushed drugs down the toilet. Empty baggies and white-powder residue were found on the floor of the washroom, the city docu-ment said.
There was also a note on the bathroom door written in jiffy marker that stated: “Do not use for shooting. Thanks. PS. You smash in here! You get smashed!”
Police did not lay any criminal charges in the in-cident but bylaw officers declared the home a con-trolled substance property and ordered that it not be occupied until remediation work was completed.
The city’s bylaw pro-hibits the use of land and buildings for the produc-tion of drugs, noting that homes with grow opera-tions are more likely to catch fire and pose signifi-cant safety risks to emer-gency crews and neigh-bouring property owners.
But language in the regulations also states that homes where the storage, trade or barter of drugs is taking place can also be hit with a controlled sub-stance property declara-tion, a stipulation that caught at least one city
councillor off guard.“I have always thought
that this was something to do with grow ops,” said Coun. Dean Washington. “[The tenant] was never charged with an offence. He wasn’t growing any-thing in his home. I am not sure how we can charge him the fee.”
The $12,000 charge is in place in order for the city to recover its staffing costs related to inspections and remediation prior to allowing re-occupancy of the home. Bylaw services manager Dan Scoones said the amount is an average, noting that some controlled substances property dec-larations cost more while others are less. He did not have the exact figures for the home on Mary Hill Road, but estimated that the expense incurred by the city was slightly less than the average.
Councillors Mike Forrest and Michael Wright put forward an amendment to cut the fine in half but
the motion failed. They ar-gued that a home where only the sale of drugs was taking place would not re-quire the same level of in-spection and re-inspection as a property that housed a grow operation, where electrical problems and air quality concerns are often an issue.
PoCo Mayor Greg Moore said changing the fee levied against the homeowner at this point would set a precedent for all future appeals. He added that he is open to making changes to the bylaw but that those dis-cussions should take place once the current process had concluded.
Coun. Darrell Penner concurred with Moore, not-ing that the issue before council was a reminder to all landlords that they are responsible for what oc-curs on their property.
“I don’t want to live in a community where it is easy for drug dealers to operate,” Penner said, later adding,
“I am a landlord and we do extensive background checks… It’s part of the due diligence.”
But landlords may have a more difficult time keep-ing tabs on their tenants in cases where drugs are only being sold out of a home, rather than manufac-tured, said bylaw manager Scoones. He said disguis-ing a grow op is difficult because it typically takes 90 days to produce a mari-juana crop and a landlord is permitted to inspect their property with 24 hours’ no-tice every 30 days. But in cases where drugs are only being sold out of a home, tenants have an easier time hiding their activities and removing any evidence prior to a landlord’s inspec-tion, he said.
“The owner of this prop-erty — had they exercised their right [to an inspec-tion] — would have had quite a difficult time assess-ing whether illegal activity was taking place,” he said. [email protected]
No grow op but $12k fine anyway

The numbers for erod-ing affordability continue to be staggering: In 1991, the median household income was around $49,500, compared with $60,880 today — a differ-ence of 23%. But while the average dwelling cost around $200,000 then, the price today for a home exceeds $600,000 — a jump of 200% (the average rent has risen 89%).
On Monday, city staff unveiled the long-awaited draft Housing Affordability Strategy (HAS) framework, which attempts to address the gap, said community planning manager Carl Johannsen.
In it, staff propose a vision that includes four key objectives, 13 policy directions and 46 actions to help ease the burden. Among the recommen-dations, which city coun-cil has yet to approve, are:
• change land-use plans and zoning bylaws to expand the range of housing types;
• spend the city’s af-fordable housing reserve fund — currently at $1.67 million — to build new housing projects with senior levels of govern-ment, non-profit groups and private partners;
• and offer incentives to developers to build market rental suites.
S a n d y B u r p e e , chair of the Tri-Cities’ Homelessness and Housing Task Group, who was at the council-in-committee meeting to hear the presentation,
called the framework “a good start.”
And it is timely, he said, given the rapid re-development happening along North Road to get ready for the Evergreen Line opening in the sum-mer of 2016.
This month, council heard from two delega-tions asking for the city’s help for Burquitlam resi-dents being displaced by BlueSky Properties’ plan for 788 units at North Road and Foster Avenue. Many renters will be forced out of the city as they can’t afford the higher rents, said Dennis McDonald of the Medallion-Cedar Grove Tenants’ Committee and Steve Bailey of the Tri-Cities Ministerial Association.
(BlueSky has offered
the current tenants on its property a waiver of the last two months’ rent to assist in reloca-tion efforts; a reduction in the purchase price for a new apartment unit in the proposed develop-ment; and priority for the available rental units in the building at 655 North Rd.)
Burpee said the HAS framework isn’t much different than rental housing strategies that were part of the city’s Transit-Oriented Development Strategy (TDS) that was imple-mented in 2012.
Now, he said, the chal-lenge will be in imple-mentation. “It will likely require a champion to pursue the advocacy and partnership,” Burpee said.
J i m M c I n t y r e , Coquitlam’s general manager for planning and development, said the topic of housing af-fordability is “a very contentious and divisive area” but he believes the new framework will offer a balance between the city’s wants and needs.
“This is a problem we can’t solve on our own,” Coun. Craig Hodge said, noting the city has to look at measures being done in the neighbouring cities of Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, where the Evergreen Line will also run.
Meanwhile, the draft HAS framework was re-leased the same day city council approved a high-rise and affordable town-homes for the YWCA,
at 520 Como Lake Ave., close to the Burquitlam Evergreen Line station. Beedie Living plans to tie its 26-storey highrise to the adjoining Como Lake Gardens site to add seven new townhomes for single moms and their kids. The develop-ment will add $2.74 mil-lion in density bonuses, which the city will funnel into its affordable hous-ing reserve [email protected]
And if you’re head-ing out of town for a summer vacation, ar-range to have your mail and newspapers picked up and your yard main-tained, ensure put lights on timers.
There was also a spate of vehicle thefts in southwest Coquitlam (Dansey Avenue to Delestre Avenue/Lougheed Highway, and North Road to Guilby Street).
Cpl. Jamie Chung
said it’s important for people to report crime, even if nothing is sto-len or entry was only attempted, so the po-lice can get a more ac-curate picture of crime hotspots and where to target their resources.

Redone Rochester to have water play area, picnic space
By Janis WarrenThe TRi-CiTy News
A Coquitlam park nearly half a century old will get a facelift next year but it won’t have the one thing that neigh-bours have been asking for: a pool.
On Monday, city staff outlined a plan to update Rochester Park with a children’s playground, water play zone, trails and picnic spaces.
The concept for the 10 acres, located between Rochester and Thomas avenues in Maillardville, will cost up to $4 million — money that city staff say will be hard to find given the recreational demands in other parts of Coquitlam.
In March, city council pushed staff to make the Rochester Park redevel-opment a top priority and to tie the work with the daylighting of Como Creek. To add to the pres-sure was the presentation last month of a 531-signa-ture petition by area resi-dents to either reopen or rebuild the outdoor pool at the park. The aging pool was decommis-sioned in 2011 and filled with sand after years of failures and vandalism.
Councillors Mae Reid and Bonita Zarrillo said they were disappointed the park upgrade wouldn’t include a new
pool. “There’s a heritage value there,” Zarrillo said at the council-in-commit-tee meeting while Reid voiced concern about the lack of amenities for teens.
But Coun. Brent Asmundson said an out-door pool, which is open only during the summer, would be a “poor invest-
ment to spend our pen-nies on.”
He also criticized council for not prop-erly budgeting for parks maintenance. Many green spaces and rec facilities need to be spruced up, Asmundson said, and Rochester is one example where a public site has been ne-glected.
Coun. Craig Hodge said Rochester has been under-utilized because it hasn’t been kept up but also said because Rochester is a commu-nity park — and not a destination such as nearby Mackin Park — the city could forgo some expensive items like washrooms or water play zone to save cash.
Further complicat-
ing the park redevelop-ment is the city’s shared use with the adjacent Maillard middle school.
Raul Allueva, Coquit-lam’s acting general man-ager for parks, recreation and culture, said public access to the north side of the park can sometimes be a challenge as the small parking lot is also used by School District 43. He noted the teachers’ strike has limited the use of the park.
Next month, city staff plan to meet with a com-munity focus group — as well as the Maillard principal — to discuss the park plans; two open houses to gain public feedback are sched-uled for September and [email protected]

A recent column on the B.C. government’s deci-sion to raise speed limits
on portions of rural highways elicited numerous comments from readers.
Some questioned my suggestion that today’s new drivers are worse because they spend their formative years staring at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and grasping the grim physics of the real world.
There is no doubt that B.C.’s graduated licensing system for new drivers is more dif-ficult than what my generation faced. Those vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner, or as teens prefer “loser”) and “N” (for novice, or in teen-speak “nerd”) have been around since 1998. The two steps make getting a full driver’s licence a longer, more difficult and expensive process.
Statistics provided by ICBC show what new drivers are up against.
First, there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a learner’s permit. From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their first attempt. Things improved in subsequent years, with a 46% failure rate in 2009 declining to 42% by 2013.
The first road test is required to go from “L” to “N” and it seems sufficiently harsh. The fail-ure rate has been consistently around 47% in the past six years. More practice and another $35 are required to try again.
Students fare better on the second road test, where the failure rate has consistently been 21% to 22% for the past decade.
ICBC reports that in the first three years of the graduated licence program, the new driver crash rate dropped by 16%. In 2003, the required learner and novice periods were extended, and restrictions on the novice stage were increased. New driver crashes fell by another 28%. Those restrictions include the number of passengers and zero tolerance for alcohol.
Impaired crash and injury sta-tistics aren’t available for drivers in the graduated licence program, only fatalities. They grew as more new drivers were enrolled in the new system, to a high of 24 in 2007, but that declined to 14 by 2012.
There will always be young people who drive impaired, speed or make other fatal errors. But it’s difficult to argue that today’s system in B.C. is lenient.
A couple of readers were concerned about the effect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers. One suggested that higher limits on rural highways are a poor mix with vacation-ing seniors hauling around oversized mo-torhomes, trailers and boats.
Another cited the coming wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuana-impaired drivers, all emboldened by the invitation to drive faster.
B.C.’s medical health officers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits.
Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds in-crease the risk and severity of incidents.
Then there is the government’s own position, articulated in a road safety strategy released last
year by Attorney General Suzanne Anton. “Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and injured in the traf-fic system,” it states. “At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buffer that lowered speeds create.”
The strategy notes that new technologies such as adaptive cruise control are becom-ing available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed limit signs that change with weather and traffic conditions.
Next come self-driving vehicle systems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again.

Enjoy summer while it’s hereIt’s hot.
There’s no doubt summer has hit again this week, sending temperatures up across the region.
Many of us have sought solace as we can — snapping up fans and mini air conditioners from store shelves, heading to the beach or the local outdoor pool, even dip-ping our feet in a bucket full of ice water.
Whatever works.Some of us are lucky enough to get out of town for a
while, camping or holidaying near the ocean or a lake where we can cool off.
The rest of us, those in town out of choice or neces-sity, may be tied to our usual routines and responsibili-ties.
If possible, this is a good time to break out a little. Forget the routines, let the dishes wait, put the projects around the house on hold. This kind of weather is only here for a brief stretch. We’ll be back to wet and cool before we know it.
By drinking our fill of what we’ve been given today, we might — just possibly — be a little more able to sa-vour those romantic, drizzly West Coast days that come in earnest by November.
Head down to the beach with a basket of food and a blanket after work to savour the sunset. Invite some friends over for a barbecue or meet them in one of our fantastic local parks for a picnic.
Locally, if you want to be on the water, try Belcarra Regional Park, White Pine Beach, White Pine Beach or, just down the Barnet Highway, Barnet Marine Park in Burnaby, another fantastic place to savour the evening (and a little shade) at the end of the day.
Go to the fireworks, hit one of many Metro Vancouver festivals — whatever strikes your fancy.
Summer’s here. Embrace it.– The Burnaby NewsLeader (Black Press)

Responding to PoCo chief
The Editor,Re. “PM delays pay
parking trial” (The Tri-City News, July 25).
Delighted to see a pay parking trial at Rocky Point Park is not being implemented now.
Disturbed that your reporter thought it was about saving coins “for a scoop of ice cream.”
Upset that a city coun-cillor thought the public outcry was humorous.
Brokenhearted that a bad idea is being sent back to staff to “arrange for public consultation.”
Port Moody’s mayor
earns $85,000 per year, councillors about $33,000 and city managers around $160,000 and it’s “do more study” rather than make a decision? Tie up more city resources? Eat up citizens’ time just to flog a bad idea that originated where? Is this good governance? Are highly paid staff to be let off the hook by giving it to the people?
Here’s an alternative: Hold off any “study” until after the election. We can give our input — it’s called a vote. Use the internet. Find out who
voted for pay parking on a trial basis and give them your input.
You might also want to remind yourself who voted in such massive increases in the mayor’s and city councillors’ re-muneration. Remember, double-digit increases in December 2013 without public consultation while governments were ask-ing union employees to settle for 2% or so?
Come on folks. There is more to running a city than riding in a parade.George Elgstrand,Port Moody
The Editor,Re. “Shorter response
times but longer time spent at fire calls: PoCo chief” (The Tri-City News, July 23).
The above-referenced article contains a num-ber of inaccuracies about changes to the provincial pre-hospital health care system that require clari-fication.
In this article, Port Coquitlam Fire Chief Nick Delmonico sug-gests that ambulances are not attending some calls. This is not correct; an ambulance is sent to every call received. Using a rigorous and internationally recog-
nized dispatch process, BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) con-tinues to assess and pri-oritize 911 calls.
Chief Delmonico also stated that firefighters have experienced in-creased wait times for ambulances to arrive over the last year. While this may be true, it is not because of changes implemented by BCEHS because these changes occurred in late 2013. Readers should know that many fire depart-ments in B.C. have re-duced their on-scene waiting times by match-ing ambulance response.
BCEHS continues to
monitor ambulance re-sponse changes and re-views individual calls when concerns are raised. BCEHS has also con-tacted Chief Delmonico to obtain more information about the call referenced in the article.
BCEHS continues to meet with local govern-ment officials to discuss how we can best work together to provide ap-propriate pre-hospital patient care while using our resources effectively and efficiently.Linda Lupini,Provincial Health Services Authority and BC Emergency Health Services
BARBARA MULLIGAN PHOTO
Burke Mountain resident Barbara Mulligan sent this photo to go with her letter to The Tri-City News complaining that because her neighbourhood’s green waste carts weren’t emptied until noon or later on Mondays, their pickup day, bears were getting to them be-fore trash collectors.

Kids and families focus of changes in Eagle Ridge ER
By Sarah PayneThe Tri-CiTy News
There are few trips more terrifying — for both a parent and child — than the one to the local emergency room.
Eagle Ridge Hospital is making the experi-ence a bit more com-forting with two newly renovated rooms: a dedi-cated pediatric treatment room, reserved for the more than 10,000 kids (aged 18 and under) who visit the ER each year; and a private family room, where families can meet with doctors.
“What it contributes to here is the well-being and peace of mind of the kids,” said Dr. Mike Mostrenko, deputy chief of the ERH emergency department.
With funding for the renovations coming from a $25,000 donation from Coquitlam Centre, the ER’s pediatric room boasts a lively animal-themed mural, toys and a television and DVD player to keep little ones occupied. Coquitlam Centre’s retailers also joined in the generosity, offering up diapers, baby formula, DVDs, clothing, toys, colouring books and crayons.
Specialized equipment in the new pediatric room includes an infant weigh scale, an adjustable-height pediatric crib and pediatric stethoscopes, among other items.
Although the hospital did have some pint-sized equipment previously, more was needed to ac-commodate the growing number of children in the Tri-Cities, said Charlene Giovannetti-King, ex-ecutive director of the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation. The Eagle Ridge ER treats more kids as a percentage of the population than New Westminster’s Royal Columbian Hospital.
“This is making the emergency room more patient-centred and
friendlier for kids and their families to deal with their health care needs, in a place that feels more calming,” said Giovannetti-King.
The family room, which was previously a storage/staff room, will be a quiet space with a sofa and chairs as well as sup-plies to make coffee and tea, and will give families a chance to process dif-ficult news in private.
F r a n c a A e r e , Coquitlam Centre’s general manager, said she was “delighted” with
the results of the reno-vations. “Having a nine-year-old, I know how daunting it is to go to the ER,” she said, “but to be surrounded by toys makes the whole envi-ronment less traumatic.”
The $25,000 was raised through the mall’s Holiday Hearts program: $1 from every child who sat for a photo with Santa Claus (with a top-up from Pensionfund Realty Ltd., the company that owns the mall) was contributed to the two [email protected]

Standing outside of City Hall and shouting hasn’t been working for you.
Member benefit no. 42The Tri-Cities Chamber has the ears of leaders in all levels of government and we actively advocate on behalf of our members and the business community at large.#MembershipHasItsBenefits
Our Public Policy Committee has been hard at work on issues relating to your business and our community. More information on the committee and our policy positions can be found at tricitieschamber.com /pages/PublicPolicy. Here’s what we’ve been working on:
Bailey BridgeWe are pleased with the arbitrator’s decision in favour of Coquitlam’s proposal for a two-lane bailey bridge connect-ing United Boulevard and Braid Street over the Brunette River. While the Chamber welcomes the new two-lane bridge, we look forward to a permanent solution that will connect United Boulevard with Braid Street, maximizing the ef� ciency of the � ow of traf� c and goods in and out of the region.
Bylaw 280We do not support Metro Vancouver’s Bylaw 280, which introduces market control measures through waste � ow management, limiting competition, increasing business costs and constraining economic growth. As an organiza-tion we are not against sustainable waste management but believe more research and consultation is required in order to construct a business-friendly sustainability plan.
Coquitlam Industrial Zone ConsolidationThe Chamber supports the City of Coquitlam’s efforts to review and consolidate industrial zones in the city. The City proposes to consolidate the nine current industrial zones into three broader zones, allowing a greater range of use in industrial areas, making it easier for businesses to set up in Coquitlam and helping to diversify the local economy.
Evergreen LineThe Chamber welcomes the Evergreen Rapid Transit Line to the community and the connection the Line will provide to the rest of the region. The Evergreen Rapid Transit Line will be a prime factor in the future growth and prosperity of the Tri-Cities.
Fraser RiverThe Chamber has joined with other Chambers and Boards of Trade bordering the Fraser River in a call upon the Federal Government to address issues facing the Fraser. A recent report highlighted the economic signi� cance of the river, concluding that $50 billion in economic development along the banks of the river is at risk if the government does not take action.
Mayors’ Council Transportation PlanWe applaud the Mayors’ Council for coming together and endorsing a common vision for transportation in the Metro Vancouver region. We look forward to continued discussion on the details surrounding this vision and offer our support to the Mayors’ Council in order to bring an enhanced plan to fruition that re� ects the concerns of businesses through-out the Lower Mainland.
Multi Material BC (MMBC)The Chamber does not support MMBC, a stewardship agency charged with implementing a recycling program that shifts the cost of recycling from taxpayers to business-es. Together with the BC Chamber of Commerce network,
we have been successful in achieving protection for small business and are currently working on increasing those protections and calling for accountability.
Transmountain PipelineThe Chamber remains committed to ensuring that there is minimal disruption to businesses in the United Boulevard area during the construction of the pipeline and that the necessary safety precautions are taken to mitigate any negative impact on local business.
If there is an issue impacting your business, reach out to our Public Policy Advisor, Aaron Robinson at [email protected] or 604.464.2716.

August 2014 Chamber NewsOpinion
Don’t ignore CASLDigital marketing gives your business exposure, brings people to your website and turns those virtual encounters into real sales. Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) covers commercial electronic messaging (CEM) – digital communication for the purpose of business– and includes email marketing, social media, text and other electronic communications. If you don’t comply with CASL, your business could face hefty � nes.CASL takes an ‘opt-in’ approach to CEM, meaning the recipient must give their consent to receive your digital communications. Consent can be express or implied. What does that mean? • Express: clear permission obtained electronically, verbally or in writing. Ex: signing up for
e-newsletters on a business’ website. • Implied: inferred permission based on actions. Ex: having a pre-existing business
relationship that implies the recipient consents to receiving electronic communicationsWhat happens if you don’t comply with CASL? Sole proprietors face up to $1 million in � nes. Corporations face up to $10 million in � nes. In a nutshell – comply or it will cost you. For your current email list, you have a two-year window from July 1st, 2014 to obtain renewed consent. You are required to obtain consent from any new contacts before sending electronic communications.Are there any exceptions? Of course there are. If you’re a charitable organization, non-pro� t, political party or political candidate, communications seeking donations or contributions are exempt from CASL.Here are your top three ‘to-dos’ to make sure you’re compliant with CASL: 1. Review your email address collection methods. Your sign-up form checklist: a. Clearly asks permission to send electronic messaging b. Clearly identi� es the person, business or organization asking consent and includes
mailing address and either email, web or phone number c. Clearly indicates that there will be a mechanism to unsubscribe at any time d. Process in place to document consent 2. Obtain express consent for all new contacts and re-con� rm consent for existing contacts 3. Make sure communications have the appropriate information: a. Clearly identi� es sender, including mailing address and either email, website or
phone number b. Makes it easy to unsubscribe at any time c. Clearly identi� es the email service provider

“As far as I can tell, a young adult novel is a regular novel that people actually read.”
– Stephen Colbert
Bawled through The Fault in Our Stars? Feel like you’ve
fought in The Hunger Games? Want to delve into world of young adult books but aren’t sure where to start? Let us match you favourite TV show with a stellar read.
• True Detective: You want atmosphere — haunting and haunted. Master Australian story-teller Ursula Dubosarsky weaves the unsettling tale of an illicit field trip that goes horribly wrong in The Golden Day. Eleven little girls, their bohemian teacher and her mysteri-ous lover all go into the seaside cave but only the girls come out. What happened on that shining summer day in the an-cient dark will haunt you long after you’ve turned the last page.
• Call the Midwife: You like true stories of inspiring ladies full of grit and wit. Kirby Larson based the heart-
warming Hattie Big Sky on her family history. Orphaned Hattie shuffles unwanted from rela-tive to relative until she inherits her late uncle’s homestead in Montana. After weathering sud-den spring blizzards and seeding the unrelenting soil, her friendship with a German farming family during the throes of the Great War threatens to undo everything that she has worked for.
• Sherlock: I deduce that you like smart detective stories and Benedict Cumberbatch’s cheekbones. Jewel of the Thames is a cozy mystery debut from Canadian writer Angela Misri. Portia Adams is shocked to learn that she has inherited a property in London: 221 Baker Street. As she investigates her shadowy family
tree and delves into the murky past of her guard-ian, a Mrs. Irene Jones, Portia demonstrates that she has inherited not just the notorious address but the abilities that made it famous.
• Teen Wolf: You like snappy dialogue and supernatural creatures playing sports. Try Sarah Rees Brennan’s Lynburn Legacy starting with Unspoken. Aspiring sassy girl reporter Kami Glass has always had an imaginary friend, a “boy” named Jared whom she talks to in her head. She tells him all her deepest, darkest secrets. Except it turns out that he’s real. And he has moved to town. Awkward.
• Doctor Who: You want a good, old-fash-ioned sci-fi story with bow ties and robots and lots of running. Cinder
Linh, cyborg mechanic of New Beijing and hero-ine of Marissa Meyer’s Cinder, will do anything to save her stepsister from the plague ravag-ing Earth. That includes crashing a royal ball and starting an intergalactic war with the mysterious moon-dwelling aliens whose queen seems un-naturally interested in tracking down a certain rogue machinist.
• Penny Dreadful: You like weird. Really weird. But good. But weird. The Diviners by Libba Bray is an intoxicating read full of underground speak-easies, flappers with dangerous superpowers and a sinister supernatu-ral murderer stalking the streets of New York in the Roaring ’20s. Banished to the Big Apple after one too many scandal-ous escapades, Evie has to discover who is trying to raise a little literal hell before she becomes the next victim. Reads like early Stephen King crossed with the X-Men via F. Scott Fitzgerald.
• Game of Thrones: Gritty sword-slinging, a high body count and po-litical intrigue are more your speed. Try the His Fair Assassin series by Robin LaFevers starting with the breathtaking Grave Mercy. After a
brutal arranged mar-riage, Ismae escapes to the convent of St. Mortain. But these are no retiring, gentle maidens — they serve the god of death. Trained in the art of assassination, Ismae is sent on a mission into a nest of vipers, the court of Brittany, where the young girl queen is des-perately trying to protect her kingdom from out-side invasion.

Coquitlam man returns to his job as bass trombon-ist for the orches-tra in 16 months
By Janis WarrenTHE TRI-CITY NEWS
Douglas Sparkes was the bass t r o m b o n -
ist with the Hamilton Philharmonic and the National Arts Centre Orchestra — and had been tapped to play with the Canadian Brass — when he got a call that changed his life.
The year was 1974 and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra had invited him to come on board. How could he say no? he remem-bered. The gig was in Vancouver — much warmer than his native Ontario — and the VSO had a good reputation.
Now in his 41st sea-son, Sparkes has solidi-fied his reputation with the Grammy- and Juno-award winning large en-semble. Over the years, he has taught at UBC and other academies, founded the VSO School of Music and performed some of the toughest works ever written for musicians.
In December 2012, Sparkes said the VSO tackled two of the hard-est compositions for an orchestra: Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony No. 8 in B-minor, D759, and Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7 in E-major. That night, there was a guest con-ductor; however, VSO maestro Bramwell Tovey was in the audience, just to hear Sparkes play.
That’s because it was the Coquitlam resident’s first show since he suf-fered a stroke 16 months earlier.
It was a day he’ll never
forget. On Sept. 1, 2011, a Labour Day weekend, he and his wife, Natasha Boyko, a VSO cellist, were staying at a friend’s cottage on a steep hill on Valdez Island, which is unreachable by BC Ferries.
It was 1:05 a.m. “I re-member that [time] be-cause I woke up and I couldn’t move and I was trying to wake up my wife,” he said.
When she realized what was happen-ing, she ran down the hill and alerted their host. He contacted the Coast Guard but then his phone died. Several hours later, about half a dozen Coast Guard m e m b e r s r e a c h e d the Gulf island by Hovercraft.
With their arms over their heads, the crew
carried Sparkes down the hill on a stretcher, through the forest and placed him on the wa-tercraft to transport him and his wife to Tsawwassen. Sparkes stayed overnight at the Richmond Hospital but were later told the ma-chines weren’t working so he had to be moved to Vancouver General Hospital.
Sparkes was lucky to get the transfer be-cause on duty at VGH that day was Dr. Phillip Teal, one of the Canada’s leading neurologists, a clinical professor at UBC’s department of medicine and a Sauder Family-Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC/Yukon professor in clinical stroke research.

A 30% chance of successBy the time surgery was ordered,
36 hours had passed. Boyko, who by then was resting at home and replaced at the hospital by their son, was asked to return for an ex-perimental operation that required going up Sparkes’ groin to remove a blood clot from his carotid artery.
No blood was flowing on the left side of his brain.
The family was told there was a 30% chance of success. “They tried three times,” Boyko said. “If they didn’t get it, no more Doug.”
Fortunately, it was removed on the fourth at-tempt. While in intensive care at VGH, Dr. Teal visited Sparkes every day — sometimes by himself, some-times with a team — to assess his condition and ask him simple questions: what day was it? what time? how many fingers was he holding up? (“I couldn’t tell him the answer. I was paralyzed on my right side be-cause the stroke was on the left in the head,” Sparkes said) and what year was it? (“I said 1911”).
Meanwhile, the couple was advised by their naturo-pathic physician and acupuncturist, Dr. Larry Chan, a co-founder of Integrative Healing Arts, to get an ap-pointment immediately for a hyperbaric chamber to improve the oxygen to his brain.
Before the end of September, Sparkes was on the second floor of Port Moody’s Eagle Ridge Hospital, ready to start rehabilitation. “I just remember I couldn’t do anything: I couldn’t hardly speak or use my right hand at all. My feet weren’t working. I was bed bound.”
Speech, physical and occupational therapy was ordered. For the latter, the Eagle Ridge team asked him to do a series of tests — i.e., put pins in holes, turn over a checkers’ bin, squeeze a revolver-shaped device — but his scores were “zero, zero and zero,” Sparkes said.
By then, Boyko had secured a spot at a hyperbaric medicine clinic in New Westminster. Sparkes under-went 1.5 hours a day for a month, with Boyko waiting outside the chamber.
His recovery was nothing short of miraculous: The first week of his appointments, Boyko pushed her husband through the front door in a wheelchair. A week later, he was arriving in a walker and, the fol-lowing week, a cane. “By the fourth week, I was walk-ing in and out on my own. It was bloody amazing,” Sparkes said.
Best of all, his occupational therapy scores shot up dramatically, too: from 0 to 28.5 in a week to 72 in the fourth week. By January 2012, when he was released from Eagle Ridge Hospital — two months after he concluded his first round of hyperbaric appointments — his score was more than 85.
“I asked them what the score is for an average per-son who has not had a stroke. It’s 10.”
Sparkes later had another month in the hyperbaric chamber, a treatment that he fully credits to speeding up his recovery. By April of 2012, eight months after he sustained the stroke, he was driving a car on his own. “It’s just as good as it was before. In fact, at first, it was better.”
He also returned to entertaining, often cooking for members of the symphony. Still, Sparkes admits he’s not his usual self. Having a stroke “is just bloody awful. Since it happened, I never got back to normal. It’s debilitating but I’ve been fighting hard to get back.”
It takes him longer to practise. “I used to look at the music the night before. Now, I need some weeks in advance” to get ready for the 170 or so concerts a year with the VSO.
To be a professional musician in a symphony or-chestra, “You have to be there 100%,” Boyko said.
For his return concert in December 2012 — a week after his 65th birthday — the VSO had another bass trombonist on standby but Sparkes was able to show he was back for good.
Afterward, Tovey confessed he was nervous before the show began but “he said as soon as you started playing, I just relaxed,” Sparkes said.
Last Thursday, Sparkes and the VSO played their last show for the summer season, a pops concert at the Orpheum called On Broadway! with Steven Reineke conducting and Ashley Brown and Ryan Silverman on vocals.
They will re-start on Sept. 27 with Tovey as con-ductor and Inon Barnatan on piano for his VSO debut, performing Kelly Marie Murphy’s A Thousand Natural Shocks, Brahm’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in D-minor and Strauss’ Also Sprach Zarathustra, a nod to the composer’s 150th birthday.
The VSO’s 96th season also includes guest appear-ances by the world-renowned Yo-Yo Ma and Lang Lang.
Said Sparkes, “Some weeks more than others, it’s a challenge but I’ve managed to meet all the challenges so far.”

A new sculpture in front of Port Moody city hall toots the arrival of the first intercontinental train to the city more than 100 years ago.
And the public artwork that forms part of the city’s Art in Motion theme comes as the municipality prepares to welcome yet another large-scale trans-portation project: the Evergreen Line.
“SkyTrain is coming and, once again, Port Moody is ready for some change,” said Vancouver artist Bruce Voyce, whose sculpture Tidal Train also combines the local elements of the Port Moody Inlet (waves) and nature (a deer).
Mayor Mike Clay said Voyce’s hand-made interactive sculpture was selected out of some 50 entries during a public call in 2012 for a landmark piece in the Civic Centre traffic circle.
The entries came in from across Canada, the United States, the Philippines and the United Kingdom.
A panel that included a city arts and culture committee member as well as three Port Moody residents shortlisted six applicants — including two from Toronto and Oregon — and interviewed the candidates about their design pro-posals, with Voyce winning the bid for the site-specific work.
Made of stainless steel, Tidal Train stands 22’ tall and 16’ long and weighs about 3,000 pounds. Its engine can be turned by hand, using a green-coloured dial near the base.
Funding for the $85,500 project came from the city’s public artwork reserve — with contributions from local devel-opers — plus another $10,000 for the solar night lights.
“To see it standing here is almost like a dream come true,” Voyce said at the unveiling last Wednesday with mem-bers of city council, fellow artists and groups of children involved with city-run summer programs.
Besides Tidal Train, the award-win-ning artist has created a number of massive public sculptures over the past five years in the Lower Mainland in-
cluding The Page Turner in Abbotsford, the Lamina Aqua and The Lightwave in North Vancouver, The Garden Project in Burnaby and Vancouver, and the Cameron Park Dragon Project and Time Carriage in Burnaby.
In 2008, he installed the cyclist sculp-ture at the base of Burnaby Mountain for the bicycle skills park. His work has also been presented at the Burning Man Festival in Nevada as well as in Taiwan and Japan.
Make way for Tidal Train

Tjernagel’s run sets a B.C. record
By Gary McKennaThe Tri-CiTy News
Raquel Tjernagel has etched her name in the B.C. track and field re-cord books.
The 16-year-old ran a 23.75 in the 200 m event at the World Junior Track and Field Championship in Eugene, Ore., on Sunday. The time was good enough for a bronze medal and puts her in 12th place in the world.
“My goal this year was to break 24 seconds, which is what I did,” she said. “I try and keep fo-cused and to not really worry about the other athletes. I do my best to run my own race.”
Tjernagel is a New Westminster resident but competes with the Coquitlam Cheetahs track and field club. She has been with the team for a few years and said last weekend’s champi-onship was one of the biggest events she has ever ran in.
“I believe the environ-ment had something to do with it,” she said of her performance. “All of the countries were their with their flags and their uniforms. It was a lot of
excitement and adrena-line.”
The New Westminster secondary student, who turns 17 in the fall, said that was the last event she will compete in this summer, but looks for-ward to next season.
Tara Self, Tjernagel’s coach, told The Tri-City News that the third place showing at the worlds capped a strong season for the young athlete.
“She is a really sweet kid,” Self said. “She works really hard. We knew the potential was there.”
Weather issues at sev-eral earlier events this season kept Tjernagel from being able to reach her full potential, she added. But every-thing aligned in Eugene to allow the runner to break the record.
“It was outstanding,” Self said. “She ran the race of her life.”
Meanwhile, a handful of Coquitlam Cheetahs were also present at the B.C. Junior Development track and field competi-tion at Bear Creek Park in Surrey last weekend. Hundreds of athletes from all ages competed in the event.

Peewee baseball tourney kicks off in PoCo
Po C o M i n o r Baseball’s peewee AA team will have its eyes set on a banner that has eluded the club for 20 years when they compete in the Provinc ia l Championships this weekend.
Greg Taylor, an organizer with the minor baseball team, said a local squad hasn’t won the championship since 1994, when a young Mike Bird led the club to vic-tory. Bird is ex-pected to coach the PoCo Cardinals when they take the field this weekend, competing against clubs from across the region and the Okanagan between July 30 and Aug. 3.
PoCo’s chances of breaking the championship title drought are good, Taylor added, not-ing that PoCo has five returning play-ers who competed in the event last season.
The squad will also have home field advantage, as PoCo Minor Baseball hosts the tournament at Thompson Park.
The event marks the minor base-ball organization’s 50th season oper-ating in the city. A mural painted on the batting cage at the park will be unveiled and local dignitaries are ex-pected to attend the games, which take place at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m.

Dickson honoured for int’l lax successPoCo lacrosse product integral to Team Canada win in Denver
By Gary McKennaThe Tri-CiTy News
Colorado lacrosse enthusiasts are accus-tomed to cheering on Curtis Dickson when he suits up with the Denver Outlaws in the Major Lacrosse League.
So American fans can be forgiven for feeling a little conflicted when the 25-year-old Port Coquitlam athlete helped Team Canada defeat the U.S. in the gold medal game at the field lacrosse World Championships, an international event held in the city of Denver.
“Anytime you get a chance to beat the Americans is pretty spe-cial,” he said. “It was awe-some.”
Dickson scored a goal in the finals but had his best showing of the tour-nament during a semi-final match against the
Iroquois Nationals. He scored f o u r goals in the 12-6 win for Canada, including
a natural hat trick in the third quarter.
The Iroquois, which is a team made up of American and Canadian players, took a 4-1 lead in the first quarter, but could not manage to find the net in the third and fourth frames.
That is when Dickson lit up the scoreboard, tying the game with a hat trick and inspiring his team’s offence to dishing some helpers. He scored his fourth goal of the match with two min-utes left in the fourth.
The win set the stage for a final showdown against the American squad, which had been dominant in the tourna-ment up until the gold medal game.
Canada jumped out to an early lead, going up 3-1 over the defensive
U.S. club by the middle of the game.
However, Canada took a commanding lead in the third quar-ter when they scored four unanswered goals and a trio of goals by the Americans late in the match was not enough to spark a comeback.
Canada won the match 8-5, taking home the gold medal.
On Monday Dickson, who also plays with the Calgary Roughnecks in the National Lacrosse League and with the Maple Ridge Burrards in the Western Lacrosse Association, was hon-oured by his hometown.
PoCo Mayor Greg Moore presented him with a plaque during a city council meeting and congratulated the athlete for his international suc-cess.
“It was a pretty amaz-ing experience,” Dickson said. “The support com-ing through in text mes-sages, emails, social media — the support was outstanding.”[email protected]

Aquasonics take third at U.S. synchro open
The B.C. Aquasonics swim team took home a bronze medal at the U.S. Open Synchronized S w i m m i n g Championship last week in Henderson, Nev.
The team, which consists of several Tri-City athletes includ-ing Anmore’s Alexia Iten and Coquitlam’s
Lani-Marie Carbonel scored 76.5333 with their Atlantis routine in a competition against nine other countries.
Olivia Zawadiuk, an-other Coquitlam swim-mer, also placed sixth in the senior solo swim in both the technical and free event.
“Bronze at the U.S.
Open topped off a very successful season for the B.C. Aquasonics,” s a i d h e a d c o a c h Susan Kemper. “The Aquasonics push the boundaries of what is possible in synchronized swimming and the U.S. Open is a great oppor-tunity to showcase that talent.”
