More than 70 years ago, Elsley Fouldshelped liberate France in the Second WorldWar.

As a member of the medical core in thethird brigade, he was one of thousands of menwho stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. The June 6, 1944 battle, often describedas one of the bloodiest ever fought, signalledthe beginning of the end of the war.

On Thursday, decades after he landed onthe beaches of Normandy, the 93-year-oldveteran was honoured by the French for hisefforts.

In front of family, friends and dignitariesat the Coquitlam Legion Branch 263, Fouldsreceived the French National Order of theLegion of Honour.

The award is the equivalent of the Order

of Canada, and is the highest decoration theFrench government can give.

France’s consul general Jean-ChristopheFleury, who presented Foulds with the award,said the veteran’s accomplishments are areminder of the friendship between Canadaand France, and the French people will neverforget the bravery he and other Canadiansshowed during the war.

Foulds’ daughter Brenda, speaking on hisbehalf, thanked the French government, not-ing he’ll wear the medal with pride and wearit for the soldiers who didn’t make it home.

The award is part of France’s attempt to rec-ognize the roughly 600 D-Day veterans whoare still alive in Canada.

Foulds and his wife Yetti have been legionmembers for years and have dedicated manyhours to the Poppy Fund, as well as introdu-cing the candlelight tribute to veterans buriedat the Coquitlam cemetery.

Police issue warning after arsonsJeremy [email protected]

A spate of arsons in PoCohas Coquitlam Mountieswarning residents to keep aneye out for suspicious activ-ities.

Police say they respondedto four arsons in the CitadelHeights area last month,between Jan. 16 and 28.

While Cpl. Jamie Chungsaid there is no indicationthe fires are linked, the inci-dents are a concern for theforce. In all cases, police note

an accelerant was used.“We’re absolutely looking

into every piece of informa-

tion that people can provideto us,” he told the Tri-CitiesNOW. “At this point there isnothing to suggest the sameperson is responsible, ormaybe so, we don’t know.”

In all four arsons, the dam-age was described as minor.

Chung also said police willbe stepping up patrols in thearea, while crime analysts aregoing through older files tosee if there are any similar-ities.

Though police weren’tsharing specific details on thearsons, he said they involved

vehicles and a “non-residen-tial building.”

The RCMP also confirmedone of the four cases is relatedto an arson last week, report-ed in the Tri-Cities NOW.

Police were called to ahome in the 1100 block ofFraserview Street on Jan. 28after the homeowner noticedsomeone had gone throughher shed and poured gasolineon the driveway.

There was no damage, asthe suspect’s attempts to lighta fire failed.

If you rely on the WestCoast Express (WCE), bracefor possible delays untilApril.

Earlier this week, CP Rail,which is responsible for thetracks the WCE runs on, sentout a press release warningusers of possible delays forthe next eight to 10 weekswhile the company carriesout track maintenance.

CP also apologized to WCEriders for recent “unexpect-ed” delays and blamed themon such work.

The company comparedthe maintenance to the scopeof what could be expected

when a lane or road closurehappens on a highway.

CP said it must schedule,outside of each dedicatedcommuter train window inthe morning and evening, ahalting of train traffic to cre-ate “track blocks” that allowfor crews to work on smallsections of the project undertight timelines.

CP said while the work isnecessary, it doesn’t alwaysgo as planned.

“The track into Vancouveris a very busy corridor,” thecompany said in a statement.

“In addition to commutertraffic, there are many indus-tries that use rail to servetheir businesses. CP operatesits railway 24/7 to meet the

demands of the Canadianeconomy and allow forTransLink to operate the WCEon our track.

“It makes good businesssense for all of us to continueto work together to minimizedisruptions over the nexteight to 10 weeks and getback to normal operations forWCE.”

Managers at WCE alsosent out an apology letter onMonday, noting service wasnot up to “our normal stan-dard in January.” The letternoted WCE managementis working with CP Rail toidentify the cause of the dis-ruptions and how to quicklyimprove service levels.

Port Moody Mayor MikeClay suggested the biggestproblem is that passengerservice isn’t given a priorityon the line, adding a differ-

ent way of managing the lineis needed.

He also argued it’s import-ant for CP to communicatewith its customers.

“They should be pre-warn-

ing people when they can thatif they know these things aregoing to happen, they [com-muters] make alternativeplans,” Clay told the Tri-CitiesNOW, noting the city has a

meeting planned with CP forApril when the issue can bediscussed.

With all things transitunder the microscope dueto the looming referendum,Clay said the WCE situa-tion emphasizes that transitis important to people, andcapital funding is neededto build the system up so itserves more people.

He also said the attentionthe problems are gettingmakes a good case for theneed for SkyTrain in the cor-ridor since the WCE was onlymeant as a secondary servicefor commuters.

“Right now we’re at thatgrowing pain part where[WCE is] not a dedicated sys-tem, but we have such strongridership … people are reallyput out when something goeswrong with it,” he said.

As the province rolls outplans to address the healthrisks of problem gambling,recent numbers related toteens and young adults havesome calling for better pro-grams for those age groups.

According to the province,young adults aged 18 to 24were the least likely to gam-ble, but were most likely toexperience problem gamblingrelative to other age groups.

Among young adults, 7.3per cent were classified asproblem gamblers, while 18.4per cent were classified asat-risk. There were 125,000problem gamblers in B.C. in2014, or about 3.3 per cent ofthe population, compared to159,000 in 2008.

For SHARE CEO MartinWyant, the levelling off ofadult problem gamblersacross the province linesup with the numbers at hisorganization in the Tri-Cities,which offers programs to helpaddicted gamblers.

However, he said the big-ger concern is younger peopleand gambling, especially withthe growth of online gamingsites.

Wyant suggested the focusshould be on providing pre-vention programs in schools,in much the same way asdrug and alcohol prevention.

“Kids have grown up inan environment where theInternet has been there for-ever and they’re very comfort-able in that environment,” hetold the Tri-Cities NOW.

“We need to help themunderstand how to makegood decisions, especiallywhen it comes to all of thedifferent options and choicesthat are available to themthese days with respect togambling.”

It’s a similar sentimentfrom Coquitlam-MaillardvilleNDP MLA Selina Robinson,who suggested there are gapsin the province’s programs toaddress problem gambling.

She, too, is worried aboutthe number of young prob-

lem gamblers and what’sbeing done to solve the issue,especially around educatingparents on how to talk totheir children.

“How are we educatingour young people about thepitfalls of gambling?” sheasked.

Though Robinson, a formercounsellor who dealt withpeople with gambling issues,

said the province’s numbersindicate a step in the rightdirection when it comes toadults and gambling, shequestioned how the statisticswere gathered and also criti-cized the self-exclusion pro-grams as often not working.

The province’s plan, calledthe Plan for Public Healthand Gambling, was rolledout Tuesday and contains

21 commitments focused onfour main themes: problemgambling prevention amongyouth, encouraging respon-sible gambling, problemgambling treatment, andresearch.

Chuck Keeling, with theGreat Canadian GamingCorp., the company thatowns the Hard Rock CasinoVancouver in Coquitlam, saidhe hasn’t had a chance toreview the plan, but addedthe company wants to workwith the province to deter-mine what should be adoptedand implemented to ensurethe standards at the casinoare best practice. He also saidthe company has a role toplay in terms of deliveringproblem gambling servicesand programs.

Some of the key elementsnoted in the plan are:

• Improving the deliveryof problem gambling preven-tion programs for youth, withan increased focus on prob-lem solving, critical thinkingand building resilience.

• Adding customizedresponsible gambling messa-ging on PlayNow.com, B.C.Lottery Corp.’s online gamingportal.

• Expanding the successfulGameSense Advisor model tocommunity gaming centres,in addition to what is alreadyin place in casinos.

• Increasing co-operationbetween the ministries offinance and health to improvecontinuity of care for clientswho face multiple, relatedproblems such as gambling,substance abuse and mental-health issues.

• Investing in research tounderstand problem gam-bling among online playersand to determine the impactof reducing high-risk fea-tures on electronic gamingmachines.

• Government and theBCLC will monitor theprogress and achievementsof the Centre for GamblingResearch at UBC. Funding of$2 million over five years hasbeen provided for the centre.

Garrett Ungaro views thefabric, aluminum and con-crete going up on PoirierStreet as a potential ticket tobigger and better things.

Ungaro is the first vice-president of the CoquitlamMinor Lacrosse Association,and like others in the sportscommunity, he sees thisweekend’s opening of thenew covered sports facility asa building block for both ath-letes and students alike.

Known as the PoirierForum, the facility will pro-vide badly needed floor spacefor a host of sports groupsand teams, along with spacefor seniors and communitygroups to recreate, exerciseand even host trade shows.

The new building willalleviate scheduling conflicts,while at the same time allow-ing local athletes to trainlocally. It also helps levelthe playing field, as lacrosseassociations in Burnaby andLangley have three times thenumber of training facilitiesdespite having fewer playersthan Coquitlam.

Had it not been built thisyear, Ungaro said his associa-tion would have been forcedto cap upcoming registrationnumbers for the first time in

its 30-plus year history.“That would have hit our

female program the hardest,and that group is growing byclose to 20 per cent a year,”Ungaro said. “We producethe most NCAA Division 1kids getting university schol-arships out of any associa-tion in Western Canada. Youhave the likes of Wesley Berg,who’s now starring at theUniversity of Denver and is

ranked as probably one ofthe best players in the UnitedStates. He came throughCoquitlam. Our hope anddesire is to get even morescholarships to our kids.”

Set to open to the public onSaturday, Feb. 7, the 25,000-square-foot Poirier Forumboasts a playing surface that’sjust short of a standard NHLrink — 185 feet long by 85feet wide — and features fourunisex change rooms. Theseating capacity is roughly150 people for games, whileother events like trade showsor farmers’ markets can seatupwards of 1,100 people.

The $3.9-million structurecame in on budget, and is

made of stretched fabric overaluminum framing. The play-ing surface features polishedconcrete.

“I’m thrilled,” said Coun.Craig Hodge, chair of thecity’s sports council. “To beable to do it and still keep itwithin budget is amazing.”

Saturday’s opening repre-sents a plan five-plus yearsin the making for AndreaMattinson, who serves asvice-president of the SportsCentre Users’ Association.The group represents 14 dif-ferent stakeholders in the citycovering most of the majorsports like lacrosse, ball hock-ey, the Coquitlam Express,figure skating and curling.

“It’s been a long time inthe works: lots of meetings,studies and planning,” shesaid. “It’s relieving. I’m justthrilled.”

According to Hodge,demand is already reachingcritical mass for the facil-ity: it’s close to 95-per-centbooked until the summer.It’s not until after that time— likely at some point nextyear — that staff will evalu-ate more options around theForum’s potential uses: large-scale Zumba or boot campclasses and other types ofprogramming.

“People are already ask-ing me about the facilityand they’re asking questions

about what else we can do inthere,” said Chris Siddaway, asports and events supervisorwith the city. “But the big-gest thing for me right nowis that the sports groups haveexpressed so much pent-updemand and now we’re ableto meet that demand.”

As for the name, city coun-cil chose the moniker in aneffort to avoid confusion.

“We were trying to acknow-ledge that it is both for sportand for events,” said MayorRichard Stewart. “We areabsolutely excited. This is amuch-needed facility.”

Saturday’s grand openingwill run from 11 a.m. to 1p.m. at 618 Poirier St.

The City of Coquitlam isagain attempting to exertpressure on other levels ofgovernment to expedite theprocess of school construc-tion on Burke Mountain.

A notice of motion put for-ward Monday by Coun. TerryO’Neill calls on both the prov-ince and School District 43 tomake funding an urgent pri-ority for schools in the city’snortheast.

In making his pitch, O’Neillsaid planning and construc-tion has fallen behind popu-lation growth and is causing

“significant community anx-iety.”

A handful of area residentsspoke out at a public hear-ing concerning developmenton the mountain last week,with some suggesting councilis not doing enough to get theschools built.

“It was clear that there’sa lot of community frustra-tion about the lack of timelyschool construction on BurkeMountain,” O’Neill said.

Mayor Richard Stewartagain lamented the processinvolved in getting schoolsbuilt, and suggested the cityhas been actively lobbying

anyone who will listen —MLAs, ministers and schooldistrict staff.

“The stakes are high — weneed to find a solution forthese families,” he said.

While council waived thestandard two-week wait timeto debate a notice of motionfor O’Neill, a similar notice ofmotion issued by Coun. CraigHodge was put on the back-burner until later this month.

Hodge’s motion calls ondistrict staff and trustees toschedule a meeting on BurkeMountain to address residentsdirectly, while also providing

School stakes ‘high’information about capacityat Leigh Elementary. Whilethat issue will be debated inmid-February, some council-lors have already expressedhesitation to support it.

Both Coun. BrentAsmundson and Stewartsaid that while they supportthe intent of Hodge’s idea,they don’t feel comfortabletelling the district what todo and how to do it. Coun.Bonita Zarrillo said she, too,

was uncomfortable withMonday’s discussion and howit could affect relationshipswith the province and districtmoving forward.

“The stakes are very, veryhigh right now,” Zarrillo said.“We are at a very tenuouspoint.”

School District 43 Supt.Patricia Gartland told the Tri-Cities NOW Thursday gettingschools built on the mountainhas been the “No. 1 priorityfor our capital planning teamfor quite some time.”

“Our school district takesinto consideration the cit-izens of Burke Mountainwhen planning accommoda-tion for students,” Gartlandsaid. “Currently, we haveadded classroom space toLeigh Elementary. “We areworking diligently on ourplanning process for BurkeMountain, which includesopportunities for communityconsultation.”

Hodge’s notice of motionwill be discussed at the Feb.16 council meeting.

GENERAL MEETING

NORTH COQUITLAM UNITED

Alittle more than four yearsago, a candidate for theleadership of the B.C.Liberal party — ChristyClark — set out her plan to

regain public trust through a series ofOpen Government initiatives that shecommitted to following through on ifchosen by party members.

Four years later, despite her pledge,British Columbians are routinelygreeted with reports of governmentsecrecy — Mount Polley inquiry: 150pages withheld by the B.C. government;Marcia McNeil report on health firings:parts of Appendix C and all of AppendixD withheld; key information about newOkanagan jail locked away.

This wasn’t the public’s expectationwhen Clark said that she was going tolead the most open and transparentgovernment in Canada. A cynic mightsuggest she didn’t even set the bar par-ticularly high. Yet, it seems, it’s still a bartoo high for her government to clear.

On her swearing-in back in 2011,Clark announced a new ministry ofOpen Government and a cabinet com-mittee on open government and engage-ment. News releases were issued andgovernment pronouncements staged totrumpet progress.

A few months later, B.C.’s first min-ister of Open Government, StephanieCadieux, had this to say about thegovernment’s release of open datasetsand proactive posting of governmentexpenses: “With today’s announcementwe become national leaders and I assureyou there’s more to come.”

No, Ms. Cadieux, that was pretty wellit.

Search “open government” in the B.C.Newsroom, the government’s websitefor news releases and official missivesfrom the ministries, and there’s morethan 450 results.

More telling? Since July 1, 2013,there’s been two.

In fact, by the time the 2013 electionrolled around, the first specks of dustwere already settling on the premier’smuch ballyhooed pledge.

Search the B.C. Liberal party’s elec-tion platform for “open” and you’llfind a reference to an open skills train-ing-driven apprentice system, an opentextbook committee, open heart surgeryand this key pledge: “We will continueto travel overseas to open new markets.”

But not one reference to “open gov-ernment” or anything approximating it.

Liberal party supporters can takesome solace in the fact that the govern-ment kept its commitment to “continueto travel overseas.” Promise made,promise kept.

With the election, so went theMinistry of Open Government. Rolledinto Technology, Innovation andCitizens’ Services, we’re told, but narya reference to it in Andrew Wilkinson’sfirst mandate letter as minister from thepremier.

In the premier’s second mandate let-ter to Wilkinson last June, a mention.But through a cruel twist of fate it’sfallen on Amrik Virk to deliver optionsto cabinet on ways “to improve citizens’access to information.”

As Vancouver Sun columnist VaughnPalmer wryly noted: “So the guy whowas caught out by a whistleblower leakof e-mails has now been put in chargeof open government. Who says the B.C.Liberals don’t have a sense of humour?”

The government’s waning interestin the issue is mirrored on the B.C.Liberal party’s website as well. There’sa reference to it, but what it means haschanged remarkably over four years.

In 2011, open government was one ofthe party’s three key priorities, along-side creating jobs and putting families

first. Come to think of it, none of thosepriorities worked out particularly wellfor the government.

By 2013, open government gave wayto “opening up government.” Prioritieswere replaced by accomplishments,which included: establishing an AuditorGeneral for Local Government, provid-ing quarterly reports to the province viawebcast, and having the “greatest per-centage of women in cabinet — 44 percent of ministers.”

Last May, it became “An open gov-ernment.” Bullet points gone. It’s allabout listening to and consulting withBritish Columbians “on an unpreced-ented scale.” Or what might be bettercalled “Let’s chat” rather than OpenGovernment.

In her 2011 year-end report, PremierClark stated: “Open Government isabout giving people a sense of confi-dence that government is working forthem, not trying to do something tothem.”

It would seem — somewhere alongthe way — the government decideddoing something to British Columbianswas easier than working for them.

What do a recent measles outbreak and cli-mate change have in common?

They’re both issues involving clear sci-entific evidence that many people feel freeto ignore in favour of their personal belief

system.Recently, medical authorities blamed a measles outbreak

at Disneyland on increasing numbers of parents who rejectrecommended childhood vaccinations. It’s a similar phe-nomenon to that which occurred in the Fraser Valley lastyear.

The very success of vaccines has taken away the fear ofchildhood disease that in previous generations would haveprovided a powerful motivator to act.

Science has been conclusive about the societal benefitsof vaccines and has long ago debunked the theory linkingthem to autism.

But that has apparently done little to change people’sbeliefs and therefore their behaviour.

Unfortunately, disbelief in scientific evidence isn’t limit-ed to the medical realm. In fact, according to a recent U.S.study, our tendency to ignore evidence is well entrenchedon many issues.

For instance, the study found 87 per cent of scientistsaccepted the concept that human activities are drivingclimate change, but only 50 per cent of the public believedthat.

We’re more likely to believe the opinions of Hollywoodcelebrities than scientists.

And confronted with evidence that contradicts ourbeliefs, most of us are apparently more likely to dig in andquestion the validity of that evidence than to change ourminds.

All of which bodes ill for our collective well-being.Decisions, both individual and societal, should be based

on reality, not on what’s convenient to believe. To do other-wise puts the greater good in peril.

CANADA POSTDISAPPOINTS

It all started when I sent abirthday present to my eight-year-old granddaughter.

It was a Wednesday, herbirthday was Dec. 14, and I wassending her a birthday dress. Iwas guaranteed two-day deliverybecause I sent it Express Post,that it would be there in time forher birthday.

It did not get there so you canimagine how disappointed shewas as it did not arrive on time bythe Monday. I called Canada Postthat Monday and said I wantedmy money refunded so they gaveme a reference number and toldme my money would be refundedbut that it would take up to 30days to arrive.

I waited the 30 days and morethen called again, asking wheremy money was and giving the ref-erence number and other pertin-ent information. They informedme that a cheque was issued Dec.16. Then I was on the phone withthem for over an hour and thepost office employee told me shecould no longer discuss this mat-ter as there was a privacy issue.

I said, “Are you kidding me?Let me talk to your supervisor,”and after arguing with them

they found out that the previousemployee had put in the wrongstreet address.

Then I told the supervisor theircustomer service is extremelypoor and that I expected thecheque to be couriered to me. Isaid I would give them one moreweek to receive my cheque. Itis now one week later and I stillhave not received my refund.

I know $17 is not a lot, but Iam extremely angry and tired ofwaiting for it. The Pony Expresswould be faster, I think.

FREMONTCONCERNS

Re: “Right-of-way is anoption,” letter to the editor,Wednesday, Feb. 4.

I would like to comment onGeorge Leon’s recent letter,in which he states that “PortCoquitlam council is suggestingCedar Drive as the best option,”urging them to reconsider the“right-of-way” option.

By all appearances this decisionhas not yet been made, however.I attended the recent public meet-ing on this matter at Hyde CreekRecreation Centre, in which it

was clear to me that council isnot, in fact, suggesting CedarDrive as the “best” option, merely“an” option. The actual decision,including due consideration ofthe right-of-way option, is still inplay, and will be so at least untilthe ongoing public input phase iscompleted.

While Cedar Drive was, asstated, given as “an” option, myown feeling is that it is there, andfuture traffic flows estimatedfor it as for the other options,in recognition that if we fail todevelop a suitable alternativeall that expected new trafficwill — by default — wind up onCedar Drive, whether we like it ornot. I suspect that no one, councilincluded, really wants that.

While I don’t live right onCedar Drive, I do live nearby, andoften use it. I share in the con-cern over the projected greatlyincreased traffic burden that willaccrue there if we do nothing.We have to take our destiny inour own hands and settle on, anddevelop, a better alternative.

On balance, of the other twooptions presented, and with apol-ogies to the residents adjacent tothe BC Hydro right-of-way, northof Prairie I, too, support the BCHydro right-of-way option. Thisoff-loads traffic from Cedar Drive,

and is least intrusive on theAgricultural Land Reserve — avaluable and limited resourcethat will be subjected to everincreasing development pressuresin the coming years, pressureswe must resist in order to pre-serve our quality of life in PortCoquitlam as a whole.

South of Prairie I support therealignment of Burns Road tomeet up with whatever north-of-Prairie option is chosen. If theBC Hydro right-of-way option isselected, the consequent closeproximity to the Fremont/Prairieintersection presents a new prob-lem, though a traffic circle herewould likely easily resolve this.

• Trim the bushes in your yard and improvelighting around your house to eliminate hid-

ing places.• Secure any outdoor storage areas, such as

sheds, so no one can break into them to lookfor flammable substances.

• Dispose of any items lying around youryard that could be easily lit up, such as card-board boxes or yard trimmings, so there arefewer “fuels” available near your house.

The province’s humanrights watchdog has dis-

missed a discrimination com-plaint against SilverCity inCoquitlam over closed cap-tioning at its movie theatres.

The B.C. Human Rights

Tribunal dismissed thecomplaint, filed by RichardWebster on behalf of himselfand three others. Websterhad alleged that SilverCityand VIP Cinemas/CineplexEntertainment discrimin-ated against the four on thebasis of a physical disabilitybecause it failed to provideclosed captioning at its mov-ies.

According to the tribunal’sdecision, which was recent-ly made public, the com-plaint claimed that RobertLuinenberg, one of the com-plainants, asked the movieclerk at the theatre if a moviehad closed captions, and theclerk answered no.

The complainants said theyare all deaf or hard of hearingand require closed caption-ing.

In its response, SilverCityasked for the case to be dis-missed, explaining thatclosed captioning equipmentwas installed in the theatrein December 2011 and wasoperational at the time of theincident, on June 25, 2013.

The manager told the tri-bunal that 20 movies werebeing featured at the time,with 19 providing closed cap-tions.

The company said it alsocouldn’t answer the allega-

tions without knowing thetitle of the movie, addingSilverCity was not in a pos-ition to control the provisionof closed captioning for thatparticular movie.

The tribunal noted Websterdid not file a response to theapplication to dismiss andfailed to provide the name ofthe movie the group wantedto see.

In the tribunal’s decisionto dismiss, member MarleneTyshynski wrote that thecomplaint has no reasonableprospect for success, noting acouple of reasons — includ-

ing that Webster hadn’tnamed the movie the groupwanted to see.

She also said the theatremanager didn’t receive acomplaint from Luinenbergor anyone about the lack ofclosed captioning.

“The respondents havemade ongoing efforts to pro-vide the best available techno-logical service to accommo-date deaf and hard of hearingpersons at the movies it fea-tures,” Tyshynski wrote.

“No information to the con-trary has been filed.”

Coquitlam Mounties arelooking for witnesses follow-

ing a bizarre brouhaha neara parking lot at CoquitlamCentre.

Police were called to anarea near Johnson Street andBarnet Highway just after 5p.m. Tuesday to deal with afight involving three people.

According to RCMP, twomen were fighting whena third man drove by andwitnessed the incident. Hestopped and tried to break

up the altercation, but foundhimself in a fight with oneof the other men. Police saidthe witness got back intohis vehicle and allegedly hitone of the men while drivingaway. The man involved inthe first fight was knockedto the ground after being hitby the vehicle, and sufferedminor injuries. He was treat-ed at a local hospital.

Police later found and

arrested the witness involved.Charges are now pendingagainst both men involved inthe incident.

Coquitlam RCMP Cpl.Jamie Chung said investiga-tors aren’t sure what sparkedthe first fight, noting none ofthe men knew each other orare known to police. He saidthe incident should serve asa reminder that it’s better forwitnesses to call police than

join in an altercation.“If there’s something

ongoing in progress, the bestthing to do is call 9-1-1 andstay on the call,” Chung toldthe Tri-Cities NOW.

Though police spoke to anumber of witnesses at thescene, they’re looking formore. Anyone with informa-tion is asked to call the RCMPat 604-945-1550 and quotefile number 2015-3524.

Divas plan summerdinner partyJeremy [email protected]

The Divas are back, andthis time they’re planning avery white party for the sum-mer.

The group — consist-ing of Port Moody Coun.Diana Dilworth, Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA SelinaRobinson and event plannerPolly Krier — is known fororganizing a red-carpet Oscarparty at Coquitlam City Hall.

The event has doubled asa fundraiser for the last threeyears, netting nearly $50,000for local organizations like theSHARE Family & CommunityServices Society, CrossroadsHospice Society and EagleRidge Hospital Foundation.

But the Divas won’t be host-ing an Oscar party this year,since it didn’t work with theirschedules. They’ve decidedon a summer event instead.

Diva en Blanc will be anoutdoor dinner party themedin white, scheduled forSaturday, Aug. 22. Guestswill be expected to arrivein white attire and have theoption of bringing their ownpicnic-style meal or purchas-ing one in advance.

“We looked at the calendarand realized the summer isa great opportunity to bring

people together in an out-door event,” Dilworth toldthe Tri-Cities NOW.

While the trio has focusedthe charitable side of theirfundraisers on a varietyof causes, this year all themoney raised will go towardthe Terry Fox Foundation.

Robinson noted since2015 marks the 35th anni-

versary of Fox’s Marathon ofHope and Terry Fox runs arescheduled throughout theTri-Cities a few weeks afterthe group’s dinner party, theDivas are hoping to presentcheques at Terry Fox runs inCoquitlam, Port Coquitlamand Port Moody.

“It just made sense for usto acknowledge, in some way,

the local nature of Terry Foxand celebrate that as a com-

munity,” she said.But in true diva fashion,

the organizers are being coyabout some of the details oftheir summer party, especial-ly the location.

Robinson said the divashave their spot picked, butwant to keep it a mysteryuntil the day of the event tokeep an element of surprisefor guests.

They will, however, bedropping details throughoutthe months leading up to thebig shindig.

“We think it will be a fabu-lous event,” Robinson said,adding unlike during theFebruary Oscar night whereweather can be factor, theydon’t expect that to be thecase for August.

Tickets for Diva en Blancwill be available soon onlineat www.divaenblanc.com.

From bursaries to beergardens to heading up theTerry Fox Run and Man inMotion tour, members of thePort Coquitlam Kinsmen Clubhave had their hands in onsome life-changing events.

Aligned under the mottoof “serving the community’sgreatest need,” the group ispoised to celebrate its 50thanniversary with an eventscheduled for Saturday, Feb.21.

PoCo club treasurer CyrilleBarnabe has been a membersince 1979, first joining agroup in Oliver, B.C. beforejoining locally in 1984.

Since that time he’s seencountless individuals andorganizations benefit fromthe work the group does inthe community: awardingscholarships and bursaries,supporting local sports teamsand working to improve thelives of those with cysticfibrosis and other ailments.

“All of these things aren’tnecessarily high profile, butthe people who benefit fromthem are happy,” Barnabesaid. “We’ve always been inthe background. We never go

out of our way to brag andsay ‘Hey, we did it.’”

Kinsmen differentiatethemselves from other groupsin that they’re the onlyall-Canadian service club— there’s no internationalaffiliation and group effortsremain focused on commun-ities in which they serve.

The PoCo club got its starton Feb. 20, 1965, when theKinsmen Club of Coquitlamsponsored the chartering ofthe PoCo club. The club host-ed its first Canada Day picnic

on the lawn adjacent to CityHall in 1968, a tradition thatcontinued at Aggie Park foryears. From there, the phil-anthropic efforts really tookoff: the group helped buildDogwood Pavilion and assist-ed in restoration efforts onDogwood Manor in 1982.

That same year PoCoKinsmen opened theirKinsmen Centre on CoquitlamAvenue and helped spear-head the first Terry Fox Runin PoCo. Three years later in1985, local Kinsmen helped

organize and manage RickHansen’s Man in MotionWorld Tour. Nowadays,group members keep busy byheading up the beer gardensat the annual Downtown CarShow and at May Day events,along with helping out withthe Mother’s Day picnic.

At 66, Barnabe keeps com-ing back to the group for thecamaraderie, the learningexperiences and a sense ofhelping the greater good.

“It’s the fellowship, andknowing that you’re doingsome good for the com-munity. We get together, wehave a good time and it’sfun,” he said. “I’ve learnedhow to organize things, I’velearned how to put togetherprojects and it’s all becauseof Kinsmen. It’s amazing thethings you get into and learnto do.”

The Feb. 21 event is open toall past and present Kinsmenand Kinettes, and tickets cost$35. The evening will includedinner, dancing and drinks,along with a presentationfrom Hansen.

PerformanceThe base engine is a 2.4-litrefour-cylinder producing 206 hpand 182 lb-ft of torque, thanksto direct injection.

This engine is mated to aneight-speed dual-clutchtransmission. This is theindustry’s first such gearboxwith a torque converter andprovides good performanceand fuel economy while makingsmooth, quick shifts.

Four-cylinder models feel light andnimble. The four-wheel steering system,P-AWS, is standard on all front-wheel drive models andgives the TLX a spirited nature.

Moving up to the six-cylinder models brings a quieter,more refined feel all around. The 3.5-litre direct-injectedV6 produces 290 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque.

All V6 models come matched to a nine-speedtransmission with paddle shifters mounted to thesteering wheel.

The top-of-the-line TLX models are equipped withAcura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. This offers thesafety of added traction in bad weather and improvedperformance with sharper turn-in at the limit.

The new V6 uses Variable Cylinder Management,which is capable of deactivating three cylinders. This,partnered with the start-stop function on the TLX SH-AWD, further improves its fuel economy.

Acura’s Integrated Dynamics System is standard on allTLX models - this feature allows drivers to customize theirdriving experience with four selectable modes – ECON,Normal, Sport and Sport+. Depending on the setting,steering effort, throttle response, shift timing, HVAC, andlogic for the P-AWS or SH-AWD systems can all be altered.Sport is aggressive, yet still usable for everyday driving,and the TLX is the first Acura with a Sport+ setting.

TLX models with the 3.5-litreV6 utilize Acura’s advanced newElectric Gear Selector, which hasa push-button array instead of atraditional lever. Incorporated inthis setup is an electronic parkingbrake with Automatic Brake Hold.This retains brake pressure whenthe vehicle is stopped, makingdriving in heavy traffic or on steephills easier. Although the newgear selector is futuristic lookingin design, I found it to be a bitawkward even after getting use to it.

The steering feel – in all models– has a good communicativefeedback but the steering is a tadlight and artificial in feel.

EnvironmentThe cabin of the TLX is modernand functional. Featuring

Two Become One

AcuraTLX

soft-touch materials, wood andaluminum accents it also gives

an upscale feel. Seating iscomfortable in both the frontand rear.

The dash has a symmetricallayout and is dominated by thestacked screens. The eight-inchinfo screen is positioned high for

quick visibility, and the seven-inchtouchscreen controls most features

and is located lower for easy reach.Separate switches are for the climate

control and a large knob controls thesound system and optional navigation.

The TLX offers many advanced tech features includingAcuraLink, Acura’s cloud-based connected car system.All models are equipped with Siri Eyes Free technologythat pairs compatible iPhones to use familiar voicecommands. The only challenge is that the dash is quitebusy with many features and buttons, and therefore it’snot easy to figure out at first glance how to manage allof the items.

The TLX’s cargo carrying ability was improved through anew trunk design with a wider, deeper opening, a lowerlift-over height, a fully flat cargo floor, and two optionalunder floor storage compartments. The rear seat backsfold 60/40 to accommodate long items.

FeaturesRanging in price from $34,990 to $47,490, the TLX isavailable with several trim packages.

Standard equipment includes heated seats, dual zoneautomatic climate control, keyless entry with push-button start, a moonroof, and a multi-angle rearviewcamera with dynamic guidelines.

Additional features, available as options or on highertrims, include a heated steering wheel, ventilated frontseats, heated rear seats, remote start, navigation systemwith voice recognition, lane keeping assist system,blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, collisionmitigation braking system, and adaptive cruise controlwith low-speed follow.

Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for the 2.4-litreI4 are 9.6 city and 6.6 highway. The 3.5-litre V6 FWDreturns 11.2 city and 6.9 highway, and the SH-AWD sees11.2 city and 7.5 highway.

Thumbs UpThe technologically advanced TLX allows it to offer goodperformance and fuel economy. The dual-clutch eight-speed automatic, P-AWS and SH-AWD are standoutfeatures.

Thumbs DownThe TLX’s best features are below the surface, but thatsurface isn’t the most exciting. The overall steering feelis also numb and not communicative.

The Bottom LineThe 2015 Acura TLX defines smart luxury and provides astrong value quotient.

today’sdriveYour journey starts here.

Seeking to move more upmarket and streamlineits lineup, Acura replaced and combined twoestablished models, the TL and TLX, into onemodel that is supposed to represent the “best ofboth worlds.” Designed using the theme of ‘RedCarpet Athlete,’ the new TLX intends to delivera blend of sports-sedan performance withpremium refinement.

The TLX introduces two new engines, two newtransmissions and comes standard with high-techfeatures like LED headlights. As a result, the TLXcompetes with premium stalwarts such as the Audi A4,Lexus IS and Infiniti Q50.

The 2015 TLX is all-new, though there is obviouslysome sharing of internal components with both itspredecessors as well as with other Acura’s. Sharing thesame wheelbase as the larger TL, the TLX is closer inlength to the more compact TSX. The TLX is availablein both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

DesignThe all-new TLX retains the 2775 mm wheelbase asthe outgoing TL. Length, however, is 94 mm shorter at4832 mm overall. Yet, the TLX is able to offer the sameinterior volume and interesting enough, the car doesn’t“look shorter.”

The styling of the TLX is modern and distinctive, butit’s not overbearing. The most distinguishing feature isits chrome grille flanked by the LED headlights.

Short front and rear overhangs hint at the TLX’ssporting potential. The profile lines give the cabin ateardrop appearance and reinforce both its athleticpretentions and its refinement.

Inside, the TLX is luxurious but not over-the-top. Itis one of the most comfortable in this segment and isfilled with latest high-tech features.

The TLX is available in three models, a four-cylinderwith FWD, six-cylinder with FWD, and a six withAWD. Two packages, TECH and ELITE, are available tochoose from.

Is this really awayto test a car’s shocks?

Dear Car Talk:“I went to one of those ‘drive

in for an oil change’ places.Almost immediately afterarriving, the young man start-ed mashing down repeatedlyon the fender above the leftfront wheel of my van. Then hetold me that because the carkept bouncing after he stoppedmashing on the fender, I neednew struts. He said he alsonoticed an oil leak comingfrom my strut, which is moreevidence that the struts areshot. Do struts really haveoil in them? Wouldn’t I havenoticed extra bouncing whendriving around? Is this a con?”

— Leisa

That’s actually a legitimatetest, Leisa. My brother usedto do a similar test when hewas buying a used car: Hewould mash down on thefender, and if the fender felloff, he’d know that was thecar for him, and he’d makean offer.

When a strut (also calleda shock absorber) is work-ing correctly and somebodypushes down hard on onecorner of the car, that cornershould go down and com-press the spring, and then

come up once and stop. If itkeeps going up and down,then the strut is worn out.

And yes, struts are filledwith oil. If this guy noticedsome oil on the side of thestrut, that’s another signthat the strut has failed. Youwouldn’t notice the leakyourself; it’s a small amountof oil that seeps out, notenough to create a puddlein your driveway, or to leaseto BP.

And you might notice theextra bouncing when youdrive, but you might not. Youknow the story about thefrog they put in water, andthen slowly bring the waterto a boil?

The idea is that if youhad dropped the frog intoalready-boiling water, ofcourse he’d notice. Butbecause the water heats upgradually, the frog doesn’tnotice he’s being cooked untilsome foodie is putting extra-

virgin olive oil on his legsand tucking in his napkin.

By the way, please don’t sicPETA on me, folks. No actualfrogs were harmed in any ofmy analogies.

Anyway, the same can betrue of worn-out shocks,faded brakes, scratched-up windshields and live-inmothers-in-law: You don’tnotice how bad these thingshave gotten because they getjust a little worse every day,over a long period of time.

In any case, I’d suggestthat you get a second opinionon the shocks.

You clearly don’t trustthis guy who changed youroil, and you don’t have arelationship with the shop.In fact, you’re right to becautious, because there areshops that put mechanics oncommission, so they have anincentive to urge you to doadditional repairs.

If a mechanic you trustdoes the same test and tellsyou that you need shocks,you can then be pretty surethat the oil-change guy wason the up and up with you.

And if you do need shocks,we recommend that they getreplaced in pairs.

Coquitlam’s Place des Arts is rollingout programs representing a patch-work of cultures in coming monthsthat will convey a mosaic of expres-sions from all corners of the world.

Kicking off the next few months’worth of programming is a facultyperformance slatedfor Saturday, Feb. 21,entitled Something Old,Something New.

Award-winning dan-cer and choreographerKylah Powell will bringher company CollabArtCreations to theLeonore Peyton Salonto present a combina-tion of past contempor-ary dance pieces, whilealso premiering somefresh new ones.

Powell, who holds abachelor of fine arts degree from theUniversity of Missouri-Kansas City,uses choreography to blend fluidic-type motion with the quirky and intri-cate.

“Our faculty performances havetraditionally featured musicians, butwe’re now branching out to offer

performances in other disciplines,”said Place des Arts’ executive direc-tor Joan McCauley. “This season, I’mreally excited to have Kylah Powell ofour dance faculty presenting with hercompany.”

Wintertime artist in residenceBoris Sichon will have examples ofhis numerous travels — and variedtastes — on display as part of the

Musical Instrumentsfrom Around the Worldexhibit that runs fromFeb. 12 to March 8.

The Ukrainian-bornmusical entertainerhas amassed a collec-tion of more than 200instruments over thecourse of his 25-yearsearch around theglobe to collect thosepieces. Sichon’s collec-tion will be on displayin both the LeonorePeyton Salon and in

the Atrium Gallery.“This exhibition will feature instru-

ments familiar to many residents ofCoquitlam, originating from some oftheir native countries,” said Place desArts spokesperson Kate Lancaster.

“Viewing these instruments willgive local residents a chance to learn

more about their neighbours and thepeople of their city.”

Running alongside Sichon’s resi-dency is an exhibit made up of printsand photos by Photoclub Vancouver.

Established in 1998, the groupboasts dozens of members who areencouraged to break the standardrules associated with photography.

The exhibit will also include theHenry Ballon Challenge, a memor-ial subsection of images in the styleof founding member Henry Ballon,who’s remembered as a strong pro-ponent of black and white film pho-tography.

Spring will see the spotlight againturned onto one of Place des Arts’own, as Tri-Cities resident and PdAinstructor Joy Kirkwood heads up anartist in residency stay from March 26to June 6.

During that time, Kirkwood willhost a series of community workshopsunder the name of Tag, You’re It! thatwill allow participants to choose oneof three creative ways to turn doodlesinto personal symbols.

“Using drawing, stamping, mixedmedia, patterning, collaging andprinting, these small-scale art workswill be turned into personal lug-gage tags, symbolic of our transientculture, and will be hung together

on collaborative banners to create amontage of pictograms for the ever-evolving art show in our MezzanineGallery,” Lancaster said.

Are squirrels eating these crocuses?“I am enjoying the mild

winter so far, but have noticedthat most of my crocuses havebeen dug up with the sproutsleft on the ground. I coveredthem with screen but some-thing just digs under and eatsthe bulbs. I can understandnewly planted bulbs beingmore vulnerable, but I haveareas in the garden wherecrocuses have been for severalyears without any problemsuntil this year. Do you thinkit’s squirrels?”

Jean LeeCoquitlam

Squirrels are more likely

than any other animals toattack crocus (and tulipbulbs) — but voles also digand eat bulbs. Sometimesvoles venture into mole tun-nels and are hugely difficultto deter because they attackbulbs from underneath.

Squirrels can usually bethwarted by placing a sheetof wire on top of the bulbsand weighing it down with arock or something else heavy.But once they get estab-lished, crocuses do indeedresist being dug up becausethey work their way downinto the ground. Vegetablemesh bags are very safeplaces to plant new crocusbulbs inside. Cayenne peppermight be another deterrent.Last year I scattered pepperthickly within the earth alldown a wide row of early peaseed. I wondered whetherthe cayenne would burn the

pea seed but instead all thepeas came up and the volesate none. I haven’t tried cay-enne on crocus bulbs but itshould work equally well.

“I have three blueberries inpots. They are about three tofour years old now and lastsummer one of them didn’thave very many berries on it— and it is the tallest, about 4½ inches (1.2 metres) includ-ing the pot. When is the besttime/way to prune them?They are not very bushy look-ing, more tall and spindly.”

Maureen KittoLangley

Blueberries are bestpruned in late winter — soyou can do it any time now.Because they’re in contain-ers, they’ll need to be takenout every few years and theirroots pruned as well as thebranches.

But don’t feel you have toprune all your bushes rightnow. Your largest blueberrybush that had very fewberries last year should bepruned, but if the other twoare still doing well, you couldleave them until their berrycrop dwindles.

It’s best to prune out anyweak straggly stems or anystems growing horizontally.Cut these weak stems downto strong, new buds. Any old,low, unproductive growth atthe base of the plant shouldalso be cut back.

It’s best to keep the centreof blueberry plants open. Ifyour largest blueberry bushis very tall and spindly, theremay not be enough space orstem to open up the centre.But if any of your plants arequite bushy, it’s something toaim for.

I wonder how big the con-tainers are that hold yourblueberries. The bigger yourcontainers, the bushier yourblueberry plants will be andthe more berries you’ll get.Half-barrel size would beideal. Generally, blueberriesdon’t need a lot of pruning.But once they are three orfour years old, it’s useful toremove one branch a year —this will stimulate the rootsto keep new stems emerging.

It seems like the scoresheets could come pre-printed, with goals by Corey Mackin and BrettSupinski.

The Coquitlam Express linemates were onceagain prominent, scoring the game tying goaland the overtime winner in a 3-2 thriller over thevisiting Chilliwack Chiefs on Wednesday.

Supinski’s tally, 38 seconds into the extra ses-sion, locked up the team’s 20th win.

“[Chilliwack is] a fast-paced team, they arealways coming at us hard,” remarked Supinski.“We always have good games against them. Weknew we just had to slow them down and playour game, capitalize when we can.”

After a scoreless first period, Chilliwack tookthe lead on a powerplay tally. Returning to thelineup after two months on the injured list,captain Joey Santucci pulled Coquitlam evenmidway through the frame, converting a nicethrough pass from Colton Kerfoot.

But the Chiefs, who held a sizeable advantagein shots, 14-6, in the second frame, reclaimed thelead in the last minute of the period.

Mackin’s 44th goal of the season 4:32 into thethird would be the last mark until overtime.

Supinski, who trails Mackin for the league leadin goals by three, was more than happy to keeppace with his linemate.

“We had a great play, down low from [DanielFritz] and Mackin and I just knew I could cutto the net and he threw it in front,” remarkedSupinski, who tapped in the only shot of extratime.

“That was probably one of the best defensivegames of the year for us,” said head coach BarryWolff. “[Chilliwack] had like five straight power-plays and that made the shots look uneven in thebeginning.”

Chris Tai turned back 26 shots in backstoppingthe squad’s fifth straight home-ice win.

With a playoff spot clinched and nine leaguegames left on the schedule, including back-to-back this weekend in Prince George, the focus is

on refining the game plan in preparation for theplayoffs, said the Collegeville, Pa. native.

Coquitlam is looking at facing either Chilliwackor Langley in the first round, with a chance at fin-ishing third if they can bridge a six-point gap overthe final three weeks.

“Division games are always tough, we alwayswant to win them,” said Supinski. “We try tokeep it the same, just get a little more focusedand a little more ramped up.”

During that same time, Supinski is hoping tokeep the pressure on his fellow Pennsylvanianin the league scoring race. While Mackin holdsa nine-point edge for top scorer, Supinski hasnarrowed the top-goals gap over the past twomonths. And he’s enjoying the chase.

“We’re close in goals, he’s got me in points butit’s fun,” Supinski said with a grin. “It’s alwaysfun everyday and we just bicker about it. It’s awe-some... I’ve got him the past couple of monthsand closed in.”

Coquitlam visits Prince George this weekendand plays in Surrey on Family Day.

HOT ROCKS HIT CURLING CLUBThe Coquitlam Curling Club is hosting this weekend’s B.C.

Masters regional playdowns, starting today (Friday) and run-ning right through until Sunday.

Twenty teams are slated to knock rocks together in bothmen’s and women’s masters divisions, vying for berths to theprovincial championships in Nanaimo next month.

“There’s going to be some good curling action on the ice,”remarked event coordinator Barry Ayers.

Coquitlam will be represented by the Moore rink — withskip Garth Moore, Pierre Gallant, Murray Day and GarySmith.

The 60-plus competition gets underway today (Friday),with action continuing Saturday with draws at 8:30 a.m.,12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. It picks up again Sunday with quali-fying matches beginning at 8 a.m.

CHIEFS SURGE UP MML CHARTSThe Vancouver Northeast Chiefs are proving that their

recent success isn’t a flash in the pan.The B.C. Major Midget Hockey League club jumped into a

tie for second place on the strength of a three-point weekend,which saw them play the Vancouver Northwest Giants to a7-7 standstill, and hand them a 5-3 loss.

The Coquitlam-based Chiefs came from behind to earn thedraw on Saturday, with Thomas Semple’s late marker dead-locking the game. Harris Pearce tallied twice, while PoCoforward Ronnie Wilkie scored and set up three others — on aweekend where he totalled seven points.

Chong Min Lee and Callum Volpe also scored.The Giants may have scored first on Sunday, but it was the

Chiefs who exited the first period ahead 2-1, thanks to twolate goals by Ziyam Karim and San Chung. Karim would adda second marker, giving him 10 on the season.

Now tied with the Giants for second place, the 19-10-5Chiefs don’t play again until Feb. 14.

RAVENS PUT FULL PRESS TO PITTIt’s going to come down to the last game.First place in the senior boys AAAA Fraser Valley North

League could be decided on the foul line, on a buzzer-beateror a full press in the third quarter. It just isn’t going to bedecided early.

The Terry Fox Ravens remain in the mix for the regularseason title, along with Heritage Woods and Pitt Meadows,following a 79-59 victory over Pitt on Tuesday, putting themone game back of undefeated Heritage Woods.

Fox had to shake off a furious start by the Marauders, trail-ing by six after one quarter.

“We gave up 21 points in the first quarter and that’s notwhat we wanted, for sure,” Ravens coach Steve Hanson said.“We made some adjustments and used the tools we have inour tool box and full-court pressed them.”

Fox led 38-34 at halftime, then pulled away over the final20 minutes. Jomari Reyes led all shooters with 30 points.

As final preparations continue to getchecked off heading into next week’sWestern Lacrosse Association JuniorDraft, the Coquitlam Adanacs keep add-ing to the list.

Holding the first pick overall, thanksto an earlier swap with the NanaimoTimbermen, the Adanacs will have nodrama when they step to the podium tocall Wesley Berg’s name.

It’s just who may do the calling thatmay offer any suspense.

Coquitlam are expected to officiallyunveil Todd Stockdale as the club’s newhead coach at the draft, promoting theformer defender after two seasons as anassistant to outgoing Bob Salt.

Salt, who coached the club for the pastfour seasons, was relieved of his dutiesafter leading the team to a disappointing7-11 finish. Overall, the club under Saltposted a 33-38-1 record and made theplayoff two times.

While there will be no intrigue overthe first choice, the Adanacs are target-ing help in all facets with their remainingpicks. They also hold the 12th choice,acquired from Victoria, picks No. 17(from Langley), 30, 37 and 44.

“It’s a good draft but not up there whenyou compare it to other years, includ-ing next year’s,” said Coquitlam generalmanager Kevin Hill. “We’re looking toaddress all areas — from offence, defenceand someone to push [netminder AdamShute].”

Berg, a Coquitlam native, is a prototyp-ical power forward who has been a spark-plug in championship runs on the floor,with the junior Adanacs in 2010, andfield, with the Canadian national teamand University of Denver in 2014.

“Wes is an outstanding player and def-initely someone who can make a differ-ence,” said Hill.

Over 53 junior games in Coquitlam,Berg tallied 131 goals and 123 assists.He added 61 goals and 80 helpers in 35playoff games.

Other local players who are eligible forthe draft include Connor Goodwin, ErikKlein and Andy Taylor.

The draft begins 6:45 p.m., Wednesday,Feb. 11 at the Langley Events Centre.

Then,before the first half expired, Alex Storms cor-ralled a through ball and out-raced the defend-ers to slot home the winner. In the secondhalf, the Destroyers clamped down and playedstrong defence to lock up the victory.

• In a key league cup encounter, the PortMoody u17 gold boys Redcaps edged WestCoast 2-1 in penalty kicks.

Scott Gaudette and Kyle Winslow registeredgoals in the shootout, after Port Moody hadstaked out a 1-0 lead early in the second half ona goal from captain Bradley Gregory. Despitelosing a player to a red card, West Coast ralliedto force penalty kicks.

COQUITLAMThe Coquitlam Metro-Ford u13 girls

Shooters Maya Faccone, Alexandra Nielsen,Tiana Pavan and Vanessa Porretti supplied theoffence in the shootout, after neither teamcould register a goal in regulation time.

A week earlier, Coquitlam slipped past NorthShore on defender Linnea Wong’s spectaculargoal that caught the top shelf.
