To most who lived along the quiet Coquitlamstreet, it would appear the home in the 1100-blockof Cottonwood Avenue belonged to a fairly typicalfamily.

But some neighbours say the family was tearingapart at the seams and there is speculation the endof a marriage might be the reason why two peopledied in a house fire there late Monday night.

Coquitlam Fire & Rescue were originally called tothe home before midnight to the report of a struc-

ture fire. That’s when crews found the bodies of aman and a woman inside. By Tuesday morning, theRCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Teamhad been called in to assist in the investigation.

RCMP Sgt. Jennifer Pound said IHIT was calledin because the preliminary findings suggest thedeaths are suspicious.

However, she said it wasn’t clear if the deathswere a result of the fire, adding an autopsy wouldbe preformed to determine whether a homicideoccurred.

Coquitlam residents will be heading back to the polls possiblyas early as this fall for a byelection to replace former city council-lors Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson.

Coquitlam city council voted 4-2 on the byelection, withMayor Richard Stewart and Coun. Mae Reid voting against. Thetwo argued that the money saved by going forward with twovacant positions and historically low voter turnout in byelectionsoutweighs the need for two more councillors before the nextscheduled municipal election in 2014.

“Here I am one of the strongest supporters of democracy,I absolutely believe in democratic principles, and here I amstruggling with this one enormously,” Stewart said, adding hedefends the two’s rights to run for another office. “I want thosecouncil members to feel like they should be able to go up tohigher levels of government.”

Councillors should have the option to move up to provincial orfederal levels as they can then bring their experience and voice

from local government with them, he said.Coun. Brent Asmundson did not agree with the mayor.“It’s the cost of democracy. People voted in the regular elec-

tion for eight councillors, one mayor, that wastheir expectation and I think we should fulfill thatpart,” he said. “Running for council you make acommitment to the electorate that’s going to votefor you.”

Asmundson did not share the mayor’s excite-ment of having former colleagues move up to prov-incial government, as he believes it won’t changehow things are run at Coquitlam City Hall.

“Having people move up has happened frommunicipal government to federal and provincialgovernment and we haven’t gotten a lot furtherin our increase of eight per cent or on our issues,”he said.

Couns. Terry O’Neill and Neal Nicholson mir-rored Asmundson’s sentiments. Quoting OscarWilde, O’Neill said “Nowadays, people know the price of every-thing and the value of nothing.”

Nicholson said the byelection isn’t going to hurt taxpayers, asit’s already budgeted for.

“I want us to do what’s right and accept the resignations ofthe councillors who’ve left and move forward into a byelection,”he said.

Coun. Lou Sekora said Reimer and Robinson should haveresigned the day after they were elected.

“They should have known better,” he said.Reid defended their hesitation, as she feels they

were being considerate of both the taxpayer andcouncil and leaving it in the city’s hands to choosewhat it feels is best.

The cost of a byelection is estimated to be$150,000. Councillor salary and benefits per yearis $53,836. If no byelection were to happen, thecity would save $311,508.

However, that forces more work on the sevenremaining elected officials, while there is a cashreserve of $639,000 to cover the cost of such anelection. Both Reimer and Robinson have not beenpaid since the spring.

Reimer and Robinson have served as council-lors in Coquitlam since 2008. In May, Reimerwas elected MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam and

Robinson for Coquitlam-Maillardville.Since the provincial election, both councillors have been on

unpaid leave. They had requested a leave of absence until Jan.3, 2014 to allow city council to bypass the need for a byelection.The next municipal election will take place later in 2014.

City staff stated a byelection will most likely happen inOctober, although no official date has been set as of yet.

A Port Moody police officer isunder investigation after a video thispast weekend surfaced appearing toshow an officer using excessive forceled to a Police Act complaint.

The video, which was posted onYouTube Sunday by a user called TriTapp, is 18 seconds long and report-edly shows a Port Moodypolice officer making anarrest outside the GoldenSpike Pub on St. JohnsStreet Saturday night.

In the video, a man whoappears to be an officeris seen grabbing anotherman from behind in theneck area before slamminghim into the ground.

At first there was noofficial complaint, but byMonday afternoon thedepartment confirmed ithad received notificationof a Police Act complaintrelated to the incident.

A press release noted the mat-ter has been turned over to theProfessional Standards Section of thePort Moody Police Department forinvestigation. But exactly what hap-pened that night between the patron,the bar and police seems to differamong the parties involved.

On Monday, the departmentissued a press release regarding theincident.

“Port Moody Police Departmenthas been made aware of [an] 18-second video clip involving one of itsofficers using force in the apprehen-sion of a suspect,” the release read.

“Port Moody Police Department iscurrently reviewing the incident.”

Port Moody Police spokespersonConst. Luke Van Winkel said the manwho was arrested alerted the depart-ment to the video.

The department said the incidentstarted shortly before midnight afterstaff at the pub called 911.

According to the release, policewere told that a man and womanwere having an argument outside

the pub, when the manattempted to fight withsecurity staff.

The release said offi-cers could hear thecouple yelling at staffoutside the pub.

Police said staff toldofficers the pair had beenkicked out of the pub forassaulting and threaten-ing employees.

Port Moody police saidan officer arrested the30-year-old Coquitlamman for intoxication in apublic place and causinga disturbance.

Police said despite multiple warn-ings, the man was uncooperative dur-ing the arrest and was subsequentlytaken to the ground. The couplewas arrested and later released aftersobering up.

The bar’s managing partner CherylSemenuik appeared to side with thepolice department, suggesting thevideo was taken out of context.

Semenuik said the incident wassparked after the woman came intothe bar to pick up the man.

She was let in, but when shewas later asked for identification,Semenuik said the woman becamephysically and verbally abusivetoward the doormen.

After ushering the two out thedoor, the bar decided to call police.

Semenuik said the bar has a goodrelationship with the departmentand the officer in question, addingshe’s never seen police act inappro-priately. She said there is no videosurveillance of the outside, but thereis of the inside of the bar that wouldshow the behaviour of the couplebefore they were kicked out.

However, the man who took thevideo and then posted it online is tell-ing a different story.

Devin Shepherd, who is anacquaintance of the couple, was out-side of the bar and decided to start

filming as soon as police arrived.He insisted the police immedi-

ately approached the man and con-trary to the department’s version ofevents, didn’t give a verbal warningor engage in a discussion.

Shepherd said the man was notacting out or resisting police orders.

“From my perspective, I wouldthink the officer would have tried toresolve any matter, or try to find outwhat’s going on, or talk to him, orsomething like that, but that wasn’tthe case,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW.

“What I caught on video is whathappened.”

The PoCo resident said he only

managed to shoot just 18 seconds ofvideo because he was asked to leavethe property by bouncers.

Though Shepherd acknowledgedthe couple did engage in a verbalaltercation with the bar staff at thetime, he said he never saw the pair doanything violent inside the bar.

He said he also decided to postthe video because of how the officerhandled the situation.

“It could have been really bad,” hesaid, adding the acquaintance did goto the hospital after the incident.

Van Winkel stated the departmentdoes take any allegations of miscon-duct by officers seriously.

A shelter for the homeless in the Tri-Citiesappears to be homeless itself.

On Monday, Port Coquitlam city councilvoted to turn down a temporary use permit bythe Hope for Freedom Society to operate a shel-ter at the Grace Campus of Northside Churchfor two seasons.

The decision following a public hearing onthe issue has sent the society’s managing direc-tor Rob Thiessen reeling.

“It comes down to them [council] not under-standing the greater good,” he told the Tri-CitiesNOW on Tuesday.

And Thiessen said as it stands now, there isno homeless shelter for the entire Tri-Cities.

“Right now that’s exactly what’s happening,there will be no shelter this fall and the follow-ing fall and winter,” he said.

With less than three months before the shel-ter was to open on Oct. 1, Thiessen is doubtfulthere is enough time to get a backup plan inplace.

City staff and the city’s own smart growthcommittee supported the permit. However, thecity received roughly a half dozen complaintsover the course of the shelter’s first seasonin operation, and those complaints centredaround litter, drug use, noise and loitering.

Thiessen contends shelter clients did not

cause the incidents in question.But a handful of residents also spoke out

against the shelter at the public hearing.Only Coun. Mike Forrest and Mayor Greg

Moore voted in favour of issuing the permit.The mayor, though he voted in favour of the

shelter, noted concerns by residents needed tobe addressed before council made a decision.

Moore said the sense from council isn’t thatthe society hasn’t done a good job, but rathercouncil couldn’t ignore resident’s concerns.

He did suggest the society could come backwith a different operating model, including theprevious model that saw five churches acrossthe Tri-Cities rotate shelters.

Moore also noted members of the societydidn’t speak up at the hearing to address neigh-bours’ concerns or the timing of an alternative.

Coun. Brad West told the Tri-Cities NOWTuesday that several residents expressed con-cern at the public hearing over incidents theyfelt were not being taken care of by the HopeFor Freedom For Society: alcohol consumptionon their properties, along with litter, fights,yelling and profanity.

“I’m embarrassed to have supported it thefirst time,” he said, referring to last year’s voteto approve the initial temporary use permit.

To the suggestion the society come backwith another proposal, Thiessen said he doesn’tknow how to mitigate “phantom issues.”

Blast destroys van

PoCocouncil nixes shelter


Port Moody Police continueto investigate an explosionthat ripped apart a van in theparking lot of the McDonald’son St. Johns Street last week.

Port Moody Police Const.Luke Van Winkel said investi-gators are still looking into theissue around the safe storageof fuel, rather than it beingcriminal in nature.

“At this point it just lookslike an accident,” he told theTri-Cities NOW.

The incident began before2 p.m. Friday when a vanin the restaurant’s parkinglot exploded. Police and firecrews were quickly on sceneafter the explosion putting outthe vehicle blaze.

One woman was taken awayby paramedics with reportedlyserious injuries and burns,but was later released fromhospital. The white van wasdestroyed.

Both witnesses and emer-gency crews said the blastcould have turned out muchworse.

“I think everyone’s veryfortunate nothing worse hap-pened,” Van Winkel said, add-ing he wasn’t able to commenton how the woman and thetruck were related.

Port Moody assistant firechief Gord Parker said hisown investigators concludedthe van was improperly beingused to store fuel.

Henotedinsidethevanweretwo separate tanks hooked upto electric pumps to move gasfrom one tank to another.

Parker estimated each tankto be about 200 litres in size,although they weren’t full atthe time of the blast.

Parker explained there waslikely a build up of vaporsand given the heat outsidewhen the woman started thevehicle, it also started up theelectric pumps, triggering theexplosion.

However, the tanks did notexplode in this case.

Parker suggested if the vanhad ended up in a collision onthe streets, the result wouldhave been catastrophic.

One witness, who did notwant to be identified, said shewas sitting in her car besidethe van waiting to pick herdaughter up at the restaurantwhen the explosion occurred.

She said it appeared a youngwoman was trying to start the

van when it exploded. The wit-ness said the victim was ableto make it out of the truck.

According to several wit-nesses, the explosion washeard and felt several blocksaway.

Ellicia Hobbis was work-ing across the street at CapsWestwood Cycle when sheheard the blast.

“When we realized it wasan explosion, it was a bit moreunnerving,” Hobbis said,describing the condition ofthe truck as though it lookedlike a can opener ripped theroof off.

By 3 p.m., the busy streetwas shut down in both direc-tions as both police and firecrews continued the investi-gation. The McDonald’s wasalso closed briefly after theexplosion.

The road to sustainable sushi isn’talways an easy one, but it’s wellworth the journey.

At least, that’s the experience of certainVancouver-area sushi chefs who havemadethe commitment to offering sustainableseafood options.

Sustainable seafood has becomemore andmore popular in recent years,thanks to heightenedawareness around theissues of overfishingand unsustainablefishing practices,and initiativessuch as OceanWise, VancouverAquarium’snationalsustainableseafood program.

This increasedawareness has sparkedquestions among consumersas towhere they can enjoysustainable sushi options in theVancouver area. The good news isthat there are a growing numberof OceanWise restaurants thatprovide sustainable sushi options ontheir menu (see below for a sample listof OceanWise sushi partners).

Zen Japanese Restaurant inWest Vancouverwas Canada’s first OceanWise sushi partner,and joined the program in 2009.With the helpof OceanWise, the team at Zenwas able toreplace unsustainable seafood optionswithOceanWise choices.

“Prior to joining the OceanWise program,we practiced seafood sustainability onour own,” said the restaurant’s chef, NobuOchi. “However, it just became harder andharder to find accurate information onwhatis sustainable, so that’s whywe jumped onboard, and used information provided byOceanWise to help us in our quest to sourcesustainable ingredients,” he adds.

It hasn’t always been an easy endeavor tosource sashimi-gradeOceanWise seafood forhis sushi, but Ochi is committed to providingsustainable options, evenwith the challengesthatmay comewith it.

“It is well worth the effort becausewe arecommitted to seafood sustainability, to the

point wheremany of our customers come toour restaurant becausewe are anOceanWisepartner.We even go so far as to provide anumber ofmenu options that aremade of 100per cent OceanWise recommended seafood,such as our original Sakura Roll and SeafoodShooter.”

Sous chef Alan Ferrer ofMinami Restaurantechoes a similar sentiment. Aburi RestaurantsCanada openedMinami in Yaletown last June,

which is a sister establishment to theever-popularMiku Restaurant, which

opened in 2007.

“Sourcing sustainable seafoodfor sushi is difficult, and thereis always the balance thatneeds to be struck betweenproviding green optionsandmeeting our businessimperatives,” says Ferrer.“However, we are taking onthe commitment to provide

and expandOceanWisemenu options, and aim todo our part in educatingconsumers onwhatsustainable seafoodoptions are available.”

MikeMcDermid, partnerrelationsmanager of the

OceanWise program, saysthat one factor challenging the

sustainability of seafood for sushi is thepopularity of relatively few items for sushi– specifically shrimp/prawns, tuna andsalmon – each of which has ocean-friendlyand non-ocean friendly choices. He advisesconsumers to support OceanWise partnerswho offer sushi, such as Zen andMinami, andselectmenu options labeledwith the OceanWise symbol.

“One opportunity provided by non-traditionalcuisines in ourmarket, such as sushi, is thatit can introduce us to new and potentiallymore sustainable variety of seafood options,”saysMcDermid. “Good examples of now-popular sustainable sushi options includelocal albacore tuna, sablefish and B.C. spotprawns, in addition to items likemackerel,sea urchin, and geoduck.”

to what the cause of deathwas,” Pound said.

Police did not release thenames of the two people.

Though RCMP weren’t sayingmuch, neighbours who spoketo The Tri-Cities NOW told astory of a family in tatters.

John Cooke lives next doorand heard a scream com-ing from the house just afterwatching the 11 o’clock news.Then he heard a sound likeglass shattering and a smallexplosion. When he lookedout his window, he could seeflames shooting out from theback of his neighbour’s house.

According to neighbours, afamily of five had apparentlybeen living in the home since1999.

Inside lived the couple withthree kids, the eldest, a daugh-ter, was said to be in Reginafor RCMP training, while twoyounger boys were described

as being in their late teens orearly 20s. The house was alsohome to a French daycare runby the mom.

But Cooke said he heard thewoman had filed for divorce afew months ago, and the hus-band was living in a separatehome nearby.

The house on Cottonwoodhad recently been sold. A forsale sign was still on the lawnMonday night.

Cooke said the husbandappeared to take the divorcehard.

“He seemed to be prettymad,” the neighbour told TheTri-Cities NOW.

He also said the man, whowas described along with hiswife as being in their late 40sor early 50s, had anger issues

and didn’t get along all thatwell with the rest of the neigh-bourhood.

Nancy Palecek lives at theend of the street. She heard acall for help around the sametime, but thought it was com-ing from nearby Como Lake.

When she went out to see, aneighbour told her there was afire down the street.

As Palecek watched fireand police crews at the sceneunder the night sky, she saidshe had also heard there wasa lot of fighting going on atthe house.

Though she didn’t know thefamily that well, she said herown daughter used to sell GirlGuide cookies to the mom.Palecek said the family seemedto be nice, also suggesting the

daycare was thrivingShe was surprised to see the

house go up in flames.“You never know what

goes on behind closed doors,”Palecek said.

Richard Place came by tocheck out the scene Tuesdaymorning. His five-year-olddaughter had been attendingthe daycare for several yearsand thought highly of themother.

“[She was] a really amazingperson,” he said. “She ran adaycare for the sake of kids,she loved her kids.”

But Place also described atroubled relationship betweenthe couple.

“It’s one of those thingswhere you don’t expect that tohappen so close to you.”

Another rescue requiresoutsidehelp


It looked like just anotherday’s work for CoquitlamSearch and Rescue.

Over the weekend, a 27-year-old man was plucked offof Burke Mountain after get-ting lost on Goat Trail.

The man had managed toget himself into a tricky spotin a gully, spending Saturdaynight out in the woods.

He was eventually spot-ted the next morning. Thesituation forced the team toperform a long line rescue tobring the man to safety.

It was the fifth time such arescue had to be undertakenby the local SAR this year andsecond in less than a week.

And each time, the organ-ization has had to call on col-leagues from other rescueteams to help with the task.

In this case, it was NorthShore Rescue.

It’s not somethingCoquitlam SAR officials wantto do, but at this point haveno choice. The team has beenwaiting for a rope and harnesskit for its Helicopter ExternalTransportationSystem(HETS)

for more than a year.The team’s HETS was

shelved last fall after a piece ofrescue equipment was decerti-fied by Transport Canada.

More specifically, the com-pany that produces the equip-ment, Emergco, based outof North Vancouver, lost itsmanufacturing certificate. Thecompany is the only manufac-turer of the kit in the country.

The wait for the equipmenthas been frustrating for theSAR team, especially since theteam has been told on severaloccasions the kit is on the way,only to be held up.

Ian MacDonald, a searchmanager with Coquitlam SAR,said the organization has themoney — about $60,000— for the kit and the trainedpersonnel.

He explained in the case ofthe most recent rescue, theteam having its own oper-ational HETS could save hoursin a rescue operation. Rightnow, once a decision is madeto use the system, membersfrom another team need to bebrought in for the rescue.

“It prolongs suffering and insome cases it could be a matterbetween life and death having

to bring in another mutual-aidteam for a long-line rescue,”MacDonald said.

The organization is reluc-tant to look outside Canadafor a kit due to higher costs.

Though at first blush thiswould appear to be a case ofbureaucracy run amuck, thereason why Coquitlam SARisn’t out right now perform-ing long line rescues is a littlemore complicated.

Transport Canada origin-ally certified the design of theHETS equipment in 1998.

Emergco was then author-ized by Transport Canada tomanufacture a number of thekits in accordance with theapproved design. However,new Canadian aviation regu-lations regarding manufactur-ing of aeronautical productscame into effect in 2008.

In an e-mail to the Tri-CitiesNOW, Transport Canada offi-cials note Emergco chose notto transition to these newregulations and surrenderedtheir manufacturing certifi-cate in early 2008. This meant

that the company could nolonger make spare parts ornew kits.

The agency also pointedout that since the equip-ment is hooked to a helicop-ter, it must meet certifica-tion standards as outlinedin Canadian aviation regula-tions. Transport Canada saidit needs to verify that eachpart of the HETS kit conformsto the approved drawings andprocesses.

One of the country’s toppolling firms has investi-gated how it (and so manyothers) got the B.C. elec-tion forecast so wrong and

has concluded one factor looms largerthan any other: the low turnout ofyoung people casting ballots.

Angus Reid Public Opinion re-exam-ined all its polling and its methodologyand concluded that, more than anythingelse, the fact young people don’t votenearly in as large numbers as olderpeople skewed a series of polls (by Reidand other polling firms) that gave thefalse impression of what to expect onElection Day.

Forget theories about last minutevote-switching or general low voterturnout, pollster Angus Reid says in afive-page summary of his firm’s internalinvestigation. Instead he found “thatalmost all of the discrepancy with ourpoll boiled down to one issue: low turn-out among young voters.”

Young voters are defined as beingunder the age of 35. They make uproughly 30 per cent of the population,but only make up about 15 per cent ofthose who actually come out and vote.

Reid’s analysis concluded that, hadhe made an appropriate adjustment tobetter reflect the make up of those whoactually vote, his last poll would haveshowed a three per cent lead for theNDP (in other words, a statistical deadheat given the margin of error).

He rightly notes that publishing sucha finding a week before voting day maywell have changed the media reportingon the campaign narrative, and predic-tions of an NDP landslide would havebeen replaced with a too-close-to-calltheme in news coverage.

Ironically, the series of polls by Reidand others (notably Ipsos-Reid) thatmisleadingly showed the B.C. Liberals

far, far behind the NDP for the entirecampaign may have helped ChristyClark’s campaign “by energizing herbase to get out and vote in order to beatback, as W.A.C. Bennett famously calledthem in 1972, the ‘socialist hordes,’”Reid writes in his analysis.

I think there is considerable truth inthat conclusion. Senior NDP officialsand candidates have told me they raninto a significant “fear factor” on thedoorstep among many voters as thecampaign wound down.

“They weren’t happy with theLiberals, but they were afraid of us,” onetop party official told me. “We remainvulnerable on that point and probablyalways will be vulnerable.”

The so-called fear factor didn’t seemto exist to the same degree amongyoung people, who tend to support theNDP by greater numbers than older vot-ers. But that fact became immaterial onElection Day, as those young voters sim-ply stayed home rather than vote.

Reid, who has a long track record ofaccurate election polling, says he willchange his firm’s polling methodologyin the wake of the problems exposed bythe recent election. Young people willhave to be “weighted” in the pollingsample that is proportional to actualvoters rather than the general popula-tion.

Apparently, this is a problem that isunique to B.C. Other jurisdictions don’t

seem to have the same level of disinter-est in young people when it comes tovoting.

As a political journalist, I’ve reliedon Reid’s polls since the mid-80s forproviding both an accurate snapshot ofpublic opinion and a context on whichto base political analysis. With the nota-ble exception of the May 14 vote, he’salways been right.

When he and others were provento be so wrong on election night, themedia also wore the fallout from theerror. In his analysis, Reid says he con-sidered pulling out of polling altogether,which would have significant implica-tions for political journalism.

However, Reid has concluded thatsince corporations, special interestgroups and political parties are stillvery much involved in polling (in thelast U.S. election more than $100 mil-lion was spent on private polling by thevarious parties) it is important that non-partisan companies such as his continuetheir own polling.

“A strong democracy needs accur-ate and independent public opinionresearch to help balance the disciplineof power and add context to publicdebates,” Reid writes.

People may not like public opinionpolling (particularly when their find-ings clash with their own views) but itis an important part of our democraticprocess. It’s good to know that pollsterslike Reid are going to make changes toensure their findings are more accuratein the future.

Now, if we can just get those youngpeople to actually get out and vote.

Keith Baldrey is chief politicalreporter for Global BC.

Let the people have their say. Coquitlam CityCouncil voted 4-2 on Monday to hold a byelectionto fill the seats vacated with the election of LindaReimer and Selina Robinson as MLAs in the Mayprovincial election.

The cost of this exercise is, as Coun. Mae Reid and MayorRichard Stewart duly noted, expensive and perhaps not thebest use of taxpayers’ money.

But having a strong, representative council is what democ-racy is all about. A council of just six, plus a mayor, may seemcompletely workable for a short period of time, but that doesnot take into account all the many meetings, events and dut-ies required of Coquitlam’s elected officials. That people getsick or are unavailable at various times is another factor thatcould compromise council’s ability to make the best deci-sions on behalf of its stakeholders — we citizens.

That we support the need for this byelection also comeswith a caveat — that the province and Elections BC create afiscally responsible means in which the democratic processcan be more accessible and less punitive for taxpayers.

In today’s electronic age, there are multiple means tomake decisions — from paying parking meters via a cellphone to ordering a pizza with a favourite app. While it’sbeen discussed numerous times, voting needs to enter the21st century.

True, in this day and age of robo-calls, in-and-out andoverspending scandals, the act of democracy must be secureand protected. But if there is no better vehicle to experimenton other options for casting your ballot, a byelection wouldseem a perfect fit.

While democracy is precious at any cost, it doesn’t haveto be costly.

Byelectionsyes,but at abetter price

CITY COULDMOW, TOORe: “Province lets the grass grow at Riverview,”

Friday, July 5.It was not without irony that I read Mayor Stewart’s

response in your paper about the unkempt Riverview lands.I know how he feels because my house (and a dozen

others) overlook a vacant block of land on Roxton Streetthat despite multiple requests to have the property cleanedup, the only action we’ve seen in 15 months of asking is theinstallation of some completely ignored “no dumping” signsand one mow of the boulevard.

“I think this is just a shame,” the mayor laments. Indeed itis, but what is also a shame is that while the city does indeedhave specific bylaws around maintenance standards forresidential properties, it seems that when unsightly propertyis city owned — as the block on Roxton is — those bylawssimply do not seem to apply. For 15 months I have been ask-ing the city to tidy it up, including an unanswered e-mail tothe mayor’s office itself, but still the Roxton lot in questionremains overgrown with invasive species such as broome,and continues to be used as a dumping ground for construc-tion material, garbage, old furniture and lawn debris.

I am fine with the property sitting vacant, just as I am finewith the deer and bears who frolic among the alders and theweeds. What I’m not fine with, however, is the garbage andthe rats who seem to have taken up residence in it.

To be fair I completely agree with Mayor and Councilabout the Riverview lands; it does seem that through “fis-cal discipline” or whatever other weasel words they chooseto use, the province has abrogated its responsibility to be agood and tidy neighbour.

NIX THAT PAYPARKING IDEA

Re: “Plan for RockyPoint pay parking stalls,”Wednesday, July 3.

Although I recognize that thereneeds to be a parking strategy atRocky Point Park, I am staunchlyopposed to any kind of payparking.

The city has many options toalleviate parking problems at thepark without charging fees todriving visitors. Some examplescould include: enforced time-limits, better utilization of nearbystreet parking, or collaborationwith TransLink to provide moresustainable transit to the area —after all, a new SkyTrain stationwill be a few blocks away.

It’s also worth mentioningthat the City of Coquitlam hashistorically lost money on pay-parking, to the tune of thousandsof dollars.

Just about everyone is beingsqueezed financially, more andmore every year. Fortunately,municipal parks are one of thefew places where individuals andfamilies can spend time togetherwithout spending money.

Unless it’s absolutely necessary,we shouldn’t be charging morefees to visitors. Rocky Point is a

gem in the Lower Mainland, Iwould hate to see pay parking as adeterrent for visitors.

Re: “Couple fill containerfor African school,” Friday,July 5.

Many thanks to Jeremy Deutschfor covering this story on shortnotice with such a well-writtenarticle.

Huge thanks go out to theCoquitlam District teachers andadministrators who took the timeto find, collect and deliver materi-als to Porter Elementary.

Further thanks go to RotaryClub World Help members GeorgeSandwith and Dan Gallant whooffered and delivered many boxesof library books from their clubcollection.

Thanks also to those ladies whohelped prepare the materials forshipping, slaving in a hot portablesurrounded by resources.

I can’t say enough about

Madeleine and Raymond who,though semi-retired, have founda powerful way to help others inthe world. They truly are quietlocal heroes and role models.I have only one small problemwith the article — what am I sup-posed to make of the line “an oldcolleague”?

A PORTRAIT OFCOURAGE

Re: “A story ofcompassion,” Wednesday,June 12.

It was more than interesting tosee the story of Mary Steinhauserrevived after so many years.

I did not know Ms. Steinhauser,although she was a friend offriends who still speak of her glow-ingly and who still remember herloss, not without bitterness at thelack of resolution in all the judicialproceedings that followed. I hopeyour story indicates that it is nevertoo late to achieve justice.

It may be tempting to paint Ms.Steinhauser as a martyr, which insome ways she may be, but thesefriends who knew her are quick topoint to Ms. Steunhauser’s human-

ity, her salty sense of humour, hercapacity for outrage at the over-whelming wrongs she perceivedin the prison system. It is so muchto her credit that she fought thesewrongs not merely via protest butby entering into the lions’ den totouch lives positively.

After her death I saw the playWalls, a thinly fictionalizedaccount of her final days. The playmade clear that the inmates Ms.Steinhauser counselled at B.C. Penwere no angels, yet she still heldon to the belief that they could berehabilitated if they could cometo take real responsibility for theiractions. In theory, that is what ourjustice system is for, although Ms.Steinhauser seemed to have spentas much time battling the systemas counselling inmates. What aportrait of courage.

From time to time Canadiansare asked to identify their heroesand the answers are Terry Fox,Tommy Douglas, even Louis Rieland Pierre Trudeau. Thanks toyour paper, perhaps next timemore will know to add the nameof Mary Steinhauser, the talent-ed, compassionate young womanwho lived and died for her beliefin justice.

Kit delay tied to regulations, company issuesOnce this inspection is com-

plete, those replacement partswill be added to Emergco’smanufacturing certificate andthe company can begin mak-ing parts for customers.

In the case of CoquitlamSAR’s kit, Transport Canadaspokesperson Sarah Johnstonsaid Emergco needs to pro-vide accurate technical draw-ings and supporting data forthe agency’s approval, addingTransport Canada is awaitingthis data from the company.

“Emergco is authorizedto repair or produce prod-ucts where data approved byTransport Canada exists andthe company has demonstrat-ed the ability to maintain it tothat data,” she said.

A representative forEmergco said the companyunderstands the frustrationfor search and rescue teams,but noted the process can takea long time.

“At the end of the day, it’sthe regulatory requirements,”the spokesperson said.“Today’s requirements are farmore detailed than they were20 years ago, it’s unfortunateover time the data wasn’tupdated.”

The company explainedpart of the data required byTransport Canada includesthings like label placementsand recreating drawings sothey could be put into a speci-fication manual.

Emergco also had to hirewhat’s called a delegateapproval representativeapproved by Transport Canadato go through the process.

Internal issues for the smallcompany, including a poweroutage last week and summerholidays, have led to furtherdelays. The Emergco spokes-person said the company ishopeful the first data packagewill be approved in the nextcouple weeks. But neither thecompany nor the search teamsare blaming Transport Canadafor being unreasonable.

In fact, all the partiesinvolved suggest the govern-ment agency has bent overbackwards to try and get thesituation resolved.

As a member of North ShoreRescue, Tim Jones has beena part of some 1,600 rescueswith the team. He said the onetool that changed the rescuelandscape was HETS.

“It’s such a life saving tool,it’s changed the scope of howwe operate in mountain searchand rescue,” Jones told the Tri-Cities NOW.

Jones added it takes fourhours of paperwork just todocument a task. He alsonoted there is only one pointof attachment for the personbeing rescued and if it fails theresults are catastrophic.

The issue around the kitscame to light last fall, afterthe North Shore Rescue teamwent public when their HETSprogram was shut down. Butthe North Shore team wasin a different situation than

their Coquitlam counterparts— they already had threekits already in use, whileCoquitlam had one on order.

Jones explained it tookpressure from the local MPand even the Prime Minister’soffice to get two of the three

kits to be deemed air worthy.Jones estimated his team

carries out about a dozenHETS rescues a year. He sug-

gested one potential solutionfor the HETS dilemma — con-sidering the training and costsinvolved — is to make it a

regionalized service.Jones said his team is more

than willing to help with anyrescue in the meantime.

Six years ago Port Coquitlam resident Dave Jonssonwas just another young guy who liked to hang outwith his friends and absolutely loved to skateboard.

He worked a dead-end job and, as he says, prettywell had no direction or motivation to do anything

more. Then without any warning, life changed.“Before the plane crash I wasn’t doing very much with my

life at all,” he said. “I was simply working a deadbeat job, livingpaycheque to paycheque… then the plane crash happened. Itwas such a wake up call. Life… you have one shot at it.”

Six years ago Jonsson’s best friend from Iceland, GudniKristinsson, had just earned a pilot’s license and wanted tospend the summer with Jonsson flying around B.C.

Who could say no?“He came here in 2007 and we spent the whole summer just

together as friends,” Jonsson said.They took a ton of trips, with

Kristinsson flying them all aroundthe province. It was one of thebest summers of his life, Jonssonrecalls.

Then, on the final dayKristinsson was supposed to behere, they went out one last timeto visit Squamish.

Jonsson invited along hisfriends Elliott and Leah. Theypacked up and headed out intowhat was looking like a beautifulsunny day.

But when they reached the areanear Squamish, something was

wrong.“The moment we turned the corner into the valley the

atmosphere of the plane suddenly shifted,” Jonsson recalls.“(Kristinsson) realized he had flown into a dangerous zone.”

He remembers they were in a tight valley with clouds over-head. At the end of the valley, the mountains rose quickly,leaving Kristinsson to try and turn around or lift the plane.He tried to lift, but the plane was too heavy. Before he couldchange direction, the worst thing imaginable happened. Theplane stalled.

“Very typically, like a rollercoaster, your stomach goes upinto your chest,” Jonsson said of the experience. “I remember(Kristinsson) said, ‘Shit, we’re going down.’ Everyone startsscreaming on the plane. All I remember is closing my eyes.Then I remember thinking the thought of ‘OK, this is it.’

“Having said that I felt like I wasn’t sad, wasn’t happy, wasn’tworried. It was just like an emotionless-ness, approachingthe ground at 130 kilometres per hour they estimate. Closingmy eyes, I remember hearing the tips of the trees hitting thewings.”

Then the plane smashed into the trees, and that was it.“I was unconscious for about 15 minutes,” Jonsson said. “My

friends Elliott and Leah were able to get out of the plane.”They were able to help Jonsson out, who was stuck under

300 pounds of supplies and had his leg hooked under the seat,his femur snapped in half.

“I was bleeding internally to death,” he said.Once he got his seatbelt and supplies off, he looked to his left

back into the plane and what he saw made his heart drop.“I had that agonizing moment when I looked to my left and

witnessed Gudni die,” he said.His leg snapped in half and his best friend dying left two

huge holes in Jonsson’s life. He lost his closest friend, and helost the ability to do what he loved to do: skateboard.

But he refused to play the victim.“My recovery is awesome,” he says. “My attitude right from

the get-go was either take a victim’s attitude and be very sor-rowful in this whole thing. But the best thing I ever did wastake a survivor’s attitude. I’ve got a second chance at life, so I’mgoing to train as hard as I can and be a better person.”

Since his original prognosis of “never being able to runagain” let alone skateboard, Jonsson is now back on the boardwith little to no leftover physical pain from the incident.

Coquitlam-based mapping and back-country book publishing company BackroadMapbooks is ringing in its 20thanniversary this year, celebrat-ing two decades of loving theoutdoors and sharing the bestspots with their readers.

While the company’s popu-lar book series expands totrails, fishing spots and campsall around the country, the Tri-Cities is not forgotten insidetheir Vancouver, Coast andMountains edition.

“We cover all the Tri-Citiesarea and highlight the variousregional parks and provincialparks,” Russell Mussio, pres-ident of Backroad Mapbooks,told the Tri-Cities NOW.

“Minnekhada Regional Parkand the Burke Mountain areaof the Pinecone Burke Provincial Park offer animpressive series of trails. We also highlightthe PoCo Trail, which is part of the TransCanada Trail here in the Lower Mainland, andthe Eagle/Cypress Mountain Trails.

“The Coquitlam River is a notable fishingand whitewater river paddling spot.”

Mussio says the special edition map-bookbeing made in honour of their 20th yearshowcases many opportunities in and aroundthe Tri-Cities area for would-be outdoor

enthusiasts.Aside from the physical printing part, the

company is also looking to the future, specific-ally with smart phone apps.

“We are also working on the BackroadNavigator, a web map andsmart phone app to helppeople explore the outdoorsfrom home or on the road,” hesaid. “This will hopefully be[ready in late 2013].”

Originally, Mussio and hisbrother Wesley started thecompany to aid their own avidoutdoor interests. But theywere often frustrated with hav-ing to cart around a differentbook for each activity they did,tacked on with a stack of pos-sibly outdated maps.

Their expansive and specificmapbooks proved to be theanswer. The two decided totake that knowledge and starttheir own book series with eas-

ily accessible and understandable maps andrecreation options.

They have sold more than one million cop-ies of their original book and have gone on toprint 29 map book titles across the country, allof which have become national bestsellers.

The company also produces more than1,500 topographic and recreation maps allout of their Coquitlam headquarters.

Skater sharesstoryof recovery

He still has a metal rod inhis femur and feels occasionalpain in his right knee, butwhat matters to him is he canskate. He even has companiessponsoring him as a skaternow.

But he’s not stoppingthere.

Jonsson’s story is not oneof simply taking lemons andmaking lemonade. It was liv-ing in a slop of mud and refus-ing to be a pig. He built himselfup from nothing, determinedto make a full recovery.

He has. And now he’s pass-ing along his story in thehopes of inspiring others.

Now 25-years-old, Jonssonis happily married and afoster dad to a young boynamed Brandon, who alsolikes to skate. He works asa young adult pastor forthe NorthRidge FoursquareChurch.

He also runs a young adultcoffee shop discussion group

called Café Damascus, vol-unteers at a skate group toinspire young skaters calledSkateLife, and does motiva-tional speeches aroundschools in the Lower Mainlandand the Tri-Cities.

Earlier this year, Jonssonspoke before a large crowdat Coquitlam’s GleneagleSecondary. He will alsobe speaking at RiversideSecondary in PoCo fortheir opening assembly inSeptember.

He hopes to take his speech-es internationally, to inspireand motivate others and letthem witness first-hand thatno matter how bad it seems,life is worth living.

“All of us have somethingin our lives we wish wouldbe different,” he said. “Thebeauty of my happiness is it’snot based on anything elsebut my own attitude.

“Even in the moment whenI couldn’t walk, I could atleast find little things duringthe day that brought me joy.”

Heat stroke occurs in dogs who are left in a small confinedspace with poor air circulation (notably cars) or whenplaying or exercising outside on warm sunny humid days.Cars turn into ovens within 10 minutes, even in the shadewith the windows open. If it is only 26°C outside, thetemperature inside a car can reach 37°C in 10 minutesand a lethal 43°C in 20 minutes. Dogs cool themselvesby panting and by releasing heat through their paws. The

hot upholstery and air in vehicles prevents dogs from cooling themselves. If you witnessany dog in a car on a warm or humid day who you believe may be in distress, please askstores to page their customers and call the local SPCA or Police immediately. How torecognize the signs of overheating? First signs are restlessness and excessive panting,sometimes excessive drooling followed by very difficult (and loud) breathing, dry tackygums and agitation. Further elevation of body temperature leads to ataxia, very red gums,and tremors. In the end stages dogs are very weak, have laboured breathing, are unableto stand up or move and sometimes have seizures or collapse. These symptoms withoutcare are often followed by coma and death. Don’t waste time!!! Immediately call yourVeterinarian! And in the meantime try to cool your dog down by immersing in cool water orspraying with water. NEVER USE ICE WATER! This constricts the blood flow which inhibitscooling. Make sure that their head and neck are also wet. Give the dog some cool waterto drink. Please go to your Veterinarian or emergency hospital ASAP.

is the same as it is for married spouses. Upon separation spouses areentitled to share in the increase in value of assets and will also beresponsible for sharing the debts. If you don’t qualify as a common-law spouse you may still be entitled to a share of assets in yourgirlfriend’s name if you have made a contribution of some sort to herassets. If you have made a direct or indirect contribution, you may beentitled to reimbursement or to a share of her property. The amountyou would be entitled to depends upon the specific facts relating tothe “contribution”, how your girlfriend benefited, and whether youalso benefited financially from the relationship. An experiencedfamily law lawyer can advise you with respect to asset division.For a free consultation, call Smyth & Company at 604-942 6560.

Q: What’s the big deal about howbig the ship is???A: Ship size determines not only the number of fellow passengers, but theamount and style of dining spots, entertainment choices, and even the costof your vacation. Cruise ships of all sizes offer the same wonderful ease ofplanning, budgeting and sailing between ports: but, small ships deliver aunique kind of cruise experience.While big ships provide an amazing, resort-style vacation that’s memorableeven if you never step off the ship, small ships tend to focus on the destinationas the main vacation experience. The per-passenger cost for a small shipcruise is usually higher than on a big ship: however, extras such as alcoholicbeverages, gratuities, shore excursions and even airfare may be included.Ask your Cruise Holidays personal cruise expert for more details and about theoptions that will suit you best.Come visit us and our travel professionals at the corner of Ottawa and Lougheednext to White Spot with ample storefront parking.

Changeone inevitable factwecanembraceShunryu Suzuki-roshi,

when asked to express theheart of Buddhism in a fewwords, replied “Everything

changes.”That’s an apt description of

our lives.That change is generally

a positive thing for children.They continue to grow andlearn something new everyday. Their future holds new-

ness and promise. They lookforward to new opportunitiesand abilities.

Remember when you werea child andyou beamedwhen someonenoticed thechanges inyou? “My howyou’ve grown!”

As our livesprogress,change canbecome asource of mis-ery. Relationships changeand end. Friends move away.Loved ones die. We loseour jobs and sometimes ourdreams.

We have accidents andsuffer illness. We experiencepain or lose abilities we tookfor granted.

Our bodies change — dueto age, overuse, sunshine andgravity. And we certainlydon’t beam if someone elsenotices the changes in us.Who wants to hear, “Myhow big you’ve become!” or“Didn’t you have more hairthe last time I saw you?”

Though we all can graspthe concept that everything— including our bodies— changes, we get by day today by ignoring it. For a time,the denial of change keeps us

from worrying about it.That denial can be so

powerful that it can createthe delusion of permanence.

We expectto stayyoung anddon’t puta thoughttowardsfuture dis-ability ordeath. Weassume ourfriends andloved ones

will always be with us andour relationships will stay thesame.

When we notice the telltalesigns of aging (sometimeafter age 30), many of usstruggle to maintain ouryouth or at least the appear-ance of it. Cosmetic medi-cine has flourished over thepast decade partly becauseof Botox, fillers and lasersbut largely due to society’semphasis on youth.

Sometimes the changes inlife are completely unexpect-ed and catastrophic. Throughaccident or illness, we canlose our loved ones or we canbecome disabled. When thishappens, we struggle to makesense of our lives and to startover again.

We can never be fully pre-

pared for the disasters in life.Yet we can value the peoplein our lives even more byrealizing that we are all mor-tal. This makes each of ourlives and our relationships allthe more precious, and it canenhance how we relate.

If this was your last daywith someone you love,would you be less critical andmore caring? What wouldyou say? Would you behavedifferently?

Change is inevitable.Accidents happen. We canbecome ill. We are all aging.Each of us will die.

Let us accept these coldhard truths, and live accord-ingly. Change is inevitable,but we can continue to learnand to grow.

Change is inevitable, butwe can all be agents of posi-tive change — with ourhealth, in our relationshipsand through our community.

Save the date... the “Links to Literacy” Golf Tournament presented by Onni Group will take place onTuesday, August 27th at Meadow Gardens Golf Club, 19675 Meadow Gardens Way, Pitt Meadows.Join Port Moody Public Library, Onni Group and our other sponsors for a day of golf in support ofspecial literacy projects in the community or just come by for the banquet. The banquet will beemceed by Maureen Dockendorf, Superintendent of Reading for the BC Ministry of Education.Chris Evans, Executive Vice President of Onni, says “Our continued sponsorship of the ‘Linksto Literacy’ Tournament not only supports our corporate goal of building sustainable, strongcommunities, it is a fun event to take part in.”Literacy builds communities because it is the Velcro that makes learning stick, but many adults andchildren lack the skills to fully participate in our information-rich and knowledge intensive society.Parents who lack adequate literacy skills are not well able to provide the support for their child’sreading and learning that we know is key in preparing young children for school.More than one third of adults in BC struggle with the skills necessary to read a newspaper, fill out awork application form, read a map, or understand a lease.Research shows children who are read to before they start school have better developed languageskills and greater interest in reading and learning, but one child in four in BC is “developmentallyvulnerable” when beginning kindergarten and one student in five is not completing high school inthe expected time.Through “Links to Literacy”, the Library has received funding for a variety of special literacy projectssuch as laptops for literacy training, work stations and materials for the learning and print disabled,the Read Today, Lead Tomorrow speakers series, Links to Language kits, and a Reading Linkpartnership with local schools.Contact the library at 604-469-4477 or check our website www.library.portmoody.ca/links for moreinformation.

No matter how you look at it, the numbers areoverwhelmingly daunting for the PoCo Saints.

The B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League club kickedoff its best-of-three playoff series with LangleyTuesday — after NOW deadlines — against a

backdrop of some pretty unforgiving stats, not to mention aroster depleted by injury and recent trades.

The Saints dropped all four games against the Thunder thisyear, although the largest margin of victory was five goals.

Those losses, however, all came before last week’s block-buster trades that saw the club’s two leading scorers — MattDelmonico and Tyler Pace — shipped off to Coquitlam.

Making matters worse is that the club’s de facto go-to sniper,Nash Harrison, is out with an injury that could prevent himfrom seeing any action in the first-round series.

“We’re a little banged up right now unfortunately, so thetiming isn’t really that great for us. But that’s the way thingshave worked out for us,” said Saints head coach DannyHarada. “We are missing a lot up front. Goals will be prettyscarce for us, so we have to keep it as a low scoring series. Wehave to play a grinder game and tighten our belts at the backand try to keep that score down.”

Keeping that score down was certainly not the order of theday last weekend, as the Saints were pelted by a combinedscore of 44-8 in a home-and-home set with Victoria.

On Saturday, the Saints lost 23-5 in Victoria. A day later,they returned home and suffered a resounding 21-3 defeat.

The club had already locked up its playoff spot prior to lastweekend, and the two games were “mean nothing” contests inHarada’s eyes. Injuries also played a part, as the Saints playedSunday’s game with just 14 runners.

But now it’s imperative that the club operates off of a blankslate.

“For us, they’re mean-nothing games, but we still wouldhave liked to have performed a little better than that — it’s agood spanking for sure,” Harada said.

“We’re really going to stress that it’s the postseason now,and that it is a new season.”

The Saints were down 9-2 after the first, and 17-4 after twoframes on Saturday. They were outshot 58-38. Cory Cop andTanner Fisher each potted a pair, while Colby Beveridge nettedthe other single.

It didn’t get much better on Sunday, as the Saints foundthemselves down 12-1 after two frames. The third saw Victoriaadd another nine goals and ultimately outshoot PoCo 64-27.Corey Wong scored twice, with Connor Goodwin collectingthe other PoCo tally.

“You’ve got to forget, have a short memory and forget aboutthe things that just happened even over the last five or sixgames,” Harada said. “You just have to put it all behind you.”

As for their current opponent, Harada characterized theThunder as a team with next to no holes — a balanced attackcombined with a defensive-oriented system that featuresstrong goaltending.

The Thunder’s goals against average was the third best inthe league, after Coquitlam and New West respectively.

PoCo, meanwhile scored the fewest goals of the six playoff-bound teams, while at the same time conceding the most.

“They’re a strong defensive team and they have a prettyexplosive offence. They’re right side is pretty strong andthey’ve got a lot of scoring power on that side,” Harada said.

“It’s going to be a tough opponent. It’s going to be a tallorder for us.”

Game 2 is set for Friday night, 8 p.m. at the PoCo RecCentre. Game 3, if needed, will be played on Sunday, July 14in Langley.

Across the other side of Westwood Street, the CoquitlamAdanacs recently wrapped up their sixth straight league title.

The A’s now have a first-round bye alongside New West andwon’t resume play until at least July 20.

U-13S PICK UP BRONZEThe Coquitlam Metro-Ford under-13 boys

Revolution side rallied from a late-game scareto secure a B.C. bronze.

Competing in Provincial Cup play last week-end, the Revolution needed penalty kicks totake the third-place mantle after Kamloopsscored in second half injury time to make it2-2.

After two scoreless overtime periods, theRevolution won the bronze in penalty kicks.

Scoring for Metro-Ford in penalty kickswere Jaxon Bain, Daniel Kim and Jack Griffin,while netminder Daniel Chernetski was clutchin net. Nick Shewchuk, Brolin Masuhara andGriffin tallied in the club’s other contests.

SR ADANACS DOUSEDIt’s tough to win in any sport when you’re

constantly playing from behind.The Coquitlam Sr. Adanacs trailed to start

off each period in Saturday’s 13-9 loss toVictoria, a defeat that drops them to 4-7-1 inthe Western Lacrosse Association standings.

Adding to the slow start each period wasthe fact that Victoria cashed in on five of 10powerplay opportunities.

Coquitlam got a hat trick from DarylVeltman and a pair from Ryan Keith. JeffSproule, Matthew Dinsdale, Mark Negrin andJesse Guerin notched singles.

Netminders Adam Shute and Nathan Wilsonboth saw action in the loss.

VIGNA LOSES, WINSCall it a mixed bag for Coquitlam’s Kevin

Vigna over the weekend.The 17-year-old golfer lost a three-way

playoff to Jared Dutoit at last weekend’s 2013British Columbia Junior Boys’ Championshipin Revelstoke

The silver lining, however, is that despitethe loss, Vigna will join Dutoit and the othercontender, Jordan Lu, on Team B.C. at theupcoming Canadian Junior Boys tournamentin Garson, Ontario.

Vigna shot an 11-under par, 277 over thetourney (71-72-68-66). PoCo’s Gunntas Sidhualso cracked the top 10 with a total of 76-74-65-72 (287).

Coquitlam won its firstTier 1 championship title inseven years at the 28th JackCrosby Memorial novice all-star lacrosse tournament inBurnaby.

The novice Adanacsavenged last year’s cham-pionship final loss and theironly defeat in preliminaryround play, doubling thetwo-time defending cham-pion Oakville, Ont., Hawks10-5 in the title game at theBill Copeland Sports Centreon Sunday.

Coquitlam MVP DawsonBrown scored six times,including his final tally scoredwhile face-first on the floor inthe third period, to lead thenovice A’s.

“It really (feels like a prov-incial championship),” saidBrown after the game.

“We just won this big, hugecup in front of a large crowd.It’s a job well done.”

But Brown deflected mostof the credit to a tenaciousCoquitlam defence that hur-ried the Hawks throughoutthe 60 minutes of runningtime.

The A’s big defence was

particularly active in thefinal frame, backing up theOakville runners for muchof the period, and when theHawks did break on goal,Tristan Lomas was there tostop most of them.

Lomas gave way to thebackup with eight minutesleft in the third period,allowing just four goals on27 shots.

“It was a good recipe,” saidCoquitlam head coach MikeKemp. “I’m proud of thesekids. They’ll be buddies for-ever.”

David Charney opened thescoring on a long screenedshot from the right side forthe A’s in the second minuteof the first period.

Drake Domme had the vis-itors up 7-3 with a goal at thesecond-period buzzer.

Oakville’s Brian Jackmanhad two goals and a singleassist to lead the Ontario rep-resentative.

In the Tier 1 bronze medalmatch, Vancouver Island’sWestshore Whalers defeatedDelta 5-2.

To make up for a $12.1-million projected oper-ating deficit for the 2013/2014 school year, thedistrict is looking at cutting six per cent of itsstaff across the board.

More specifically, it’s proposing to cut 142 pos-

itions within the district.A further breakdown of the numbers has the

district cutting 81 teachers, 19 teacher assist-ants/special education assistants/youth workersalong with 32 clerical/custodial/IT and facilitiespositions and 10 from administration.

The staffing cuts add up to $11.5 million insavings.

Some of the positions being cut will be offsetby attrition, with as many as 30 staff in variouspositions already putting in their retirementpapers for the end of the year.
