coquitlam now september 14 2011

A Coquitlam man has beencharged with first-degree murderafter the body of his missing wifewas found in a suitcase in the FraserRiver.

The body of Yating (Lancy) Huwas recovered on Aug. 27 from theFraser River near the west end ofSteveston, according to RCMP. Shehad been missingsince mid-July.

Zhongming(James) Mouappeared brieflybefore Judge DavidStone in PortCoquitlam courtMonday, chargedwith one count offirst-degree murder. Dressed in ared and grey T-shirt tucked into thefront of his blue jeans, the 35-year-old stood in the prisoners dock whilea duty counsel lawyer spoke on hisbehalf. The lawyer said Mou askedthat the matter be adjourned for oneweek so he could get his own legalcounsel.

A new court date was set forMonday, Sept. 19 at 9:30 a.m.Meanwhile, Mou will be kept in

custody at the North Fraser PretrialCentre.

A group of Hu’s friends fromCoquitlam Mandarin Church gath-ered outside the court Monday mor-ning.

Ruth Seow spoke about thewoman she knew.

“She was a good mom and a goodwife,” Seow said.

Another friend said they had metHu when she joined the Tri-Citieschurch more than a year ago.

“It’s shockingnews,” she said.

Hu’s estrangedhusband origin-ally told police hedropped her off ather Burnaby apart-ment on July 15 atabout 8 p.m.

Later, he changedhis story and told investigators that27-year-old Hu had stayed at thefamily’s Coquitlam home on NashDrive that night. He said they leftthe next morning at 5:30 a.m.

Hu’s parents travelled from Chinaand spoke at a press conference onAug. 24. They said the couple hadmarried in 2003 but that Hu wasseeking a divorce.

Hu’s body was located three dayslater, but police did not inform the

public to protect the integrity of theinvestigation. As a result, investiga-tors were able to use various tech-niques to gather enough evidence forcharge approval.

The couple’s two children are cur-rently staying with Mou’s parents.The Ministry of Child and FamilyDevelopment continues to assess thesituation.

“This is a tragic outcome forthe family of Lancy Hu,” said Sgt.Jennifer Pound in a press release.“IHIT (Integrated HomicideInvestigation Team) is now focusedon the court process and providing

the evidence collected through thecourse of the investigation. It is pos-sible the Hu family will find someclosure now that their daughter/mother has been located and may beput to rest.”

Hu’s mother and father, YanyuXiao and Muming Hu, said they suc-ceeded in doing what they came toCanada to do — find their daughter.

“The Hu family would like tothank IHIT and Burnaby RCMP forall of their great work for aidingthem in fulfilling their wish in com-ing to Canada: to find Lancy,” Poundwrote in a Sept. 13 e-mail.

“Knowing what has happened toLancy has been incredibly difficultfor the Hu family, but to be able toput her to rest has provided somepeace. They also feel that Canadais a lawful country and believe thatjustice will prevail and trust that theperson responsible will be punished.”

Hu’s parents plan to take this timeto reflect on their positive memoriesof her, according to Pound.

Pound’s e-mail included one directstatement from Hu’s family:

“We will forever miss our daugh-ter,” they said.

Thieves have defaced the roadsidememorial lovingly maintainedfor Charlene Reaveley and

Lorraine Cruz, who were killed by analleged hit-and-run driver in February.

Colin Ogilvie, Reaveley’s father, saidornaments and solar lights were stolenfrom the memorial site at LougheedHighway and Pitt River Road abouttwo weeks ago.

“I had taken the children to Osoyoosand my son-in-law was going to tendthe memorial site. That night, hereported that he’d had a tough daybecause someone had come along anddefaced it,” Ogilvie told The NOW.

“He found that someone had comealong and stole all the solar lights anddecoratives that we had set up there,along with some tropical plants. I feltit was rather disgusting.”

The vandal knocked over the photo-

graphs and tried to steal another set oflights that were tied together, Ogilvieadded.

As well, a mannequin face wasstolen from its spot next to Cruz’sphoto.

“It was a beautiful thing beside herphotograph, along with some tropicalplants,” Ogilvie said.

“Her family had planted some trop-ical plants, and all of that was dug upand taken away — but other plants

that were dying off now are left.”On Feb. 19, 30-year-old Reaveley

had crossed the street to help 26-year-old Cruz and her boyfriend, who hadbeen in a minor accident. A driverstruck the two women, who were bothkilled in the collision.

Ogilvie visits the site each nightwith his son-in-law Dan, who wit-nessed the impact that took his wife’slife.

“Every night, we have the memorialfor Charlene and Lorraine lit up. If I’mnot doing it, Dan’s doing it, if not bothof us,” he said.

“We tend our memorial every singlenight, for six months. It will be com-ing up to 207 days we have continuedour memorial for Charlene, while alsomaintaining Lorraine’s alongside it.And then Dan and I, we do the same atthe cemetery. We light it up and makeit pretty.”

The Coquitlam contingentfor the Terry Fox Run is in itssecond year of planning, andthe organizers are excited asthe run approaches this com-ing Sunday, Sept. 18.

“It’s going to be a really,really busy morning,” saidMarta Jackson, the Coquitlamrun organizer. “We’ve expand-ed the campaign this year andwe’ve gotten a lot of advertis-ing, like posters around thecommunity. We’ve been work-ing on awareness and we havea lot more volunteers.”

“We’re intent on generatingexcitement that we are in thesecond year in Coquitlam andwe are continuing with thisrun,” she said.

The awareness campaignincluded going into schoolsthroughout Coquitlam, andthe organization teamed upwith Safeway and CoquitlamMetro Ford Soccer to haveflyers distributed and sentout to members of the com-munity.

As of Tuesday, Jackson saidthere are about 60 volunteersconfirmed to help on race day,and that as Sunday approach-es, she continues to receive e-mails from people asking howthey can help.

On the race day, it is

designed for anyone, Jacksonsaid. Participants can choosebetween two, five and 10kilometres, and can run, bike,rollerblade or find anotherform of transportation alongthe route, “as long as it isn’tin a car,” Jackson joked.

Walkers and runners mayalso even bring their pets ifthey want, she said. In orderfor all these different par-ticipants to not get in eachother’s way, there will be astaggered start time depend-ing on the distance and howthe person will complete it.

The route for this year’srace will vary from last year’sso that everyone can run iteasily, said Jackson.

“Instead of a full 10-kilo-metre route, we are loopingthe 5k around twice — it wastoo hilly last year,” she said.“This will be an easy coursefor someone running.”

Jackson said they won’tknow until a couple of weeksafter the run how much hasbeen raised because last min-ute pledges can be collectedafter the event. Registrationcan also be done on the runday, so organizers cannot besure how many people willparticipate. But Jackson isconfident there will be morethan the inaugural Coquitlamrun last year.

The entertainment agendafor the run includes quite

a lineup, featuring a jazztrio and guest speakers. TheKnots, voted B.C.’s Top TeenBand in 2010, return for theirsecond year to sing at theevent.

The fire department, St.John Ambulance and localpolice will also be on-site.

In the food department,Starbucks, Cobbs and PastaPolo will be giving out food,

said Jackson, and ThriftyFoods has given coupons forhot dogs. For kids, there willbe face painting, and SunHang Do Martial Arts studiowill put on a demonstration.

“We’ve also got a bunch ofprize giveaways with itemsdonated from Toy Jungle andthe Terry Fox Foundation,”Jackson said.

Each entrant in the run

will receive a ticket towardthe prize draws. And, tocheer everyone on as theygo, the cheerleaders from theCoquitlam Express will be atBlue Mountain Park to geteveryone hyped up on the runto end cancer.

Runs will also be held inPort Coquitlam and PortMoody. Full details will beavailable in Friday’s NOW.

Coquitlam looks at ways to make cycling easier

Over the summer recess, several city coun-cillors and the mayor participated in a biketour through Coquitlam on United Boulevard.

The purpose was to see first-hand the chal-lenges for cyclists in the city, and to identifythe priorities for improvement.

“We’ve been pushing for improved bikeinfrastructure throughout the city,” said MayorRichard Stewart. “There are commuters whowould use bikes through Coquitlam if theinfrastructure were there. It’s an environment-ally friendly form of transportation we shouldembrace, and it would get the bikers off themain roads.”

One highlight of the improvements is bikelanes that will cross the new Port Mann Bridgeonce it is completed.

A main conclusion from the bike tour, saidthe mayor, is they need to find better co-oper-ation with the railways.

“We have a rail corridor that is ideally suitedand positioned to being used partly for bikeinfrastructure,” said Stewart. “The alternativeis to buy enough private property, and thatwould be prohibitively expensive. There areelectrical rights-of-way, and portions of theseare almost perfect for pedestrian and bikeaccess through large parts of Coquitlam.”

“The bike route can be protected from therailways, and I’ve seen this done very suc-cessfully in cities around the world,” he said.“There seem to be barriers from that happen-ing in the Lower Mainland, and I want to findout what they are.”

The mayor held meetings last week aboutthe issue, and says he will continue to advocateon the topic of municipal rights in regard torailways.

He pointed to parked locomotives that “idletheir trains 50 feet from the back doors” ofresidents in the Westwood area of Coquitlam,and said the overall lack of relationships withrailways and municipalities is not unique.

“New Westminister has a similar area withrail traffic right through downtown, and it’stime local governments across the provincebanded together in discussions with our rail-ways on how they can be better neighbours,”said Stewart. “We should have a co-operativespirit between railways and neighbourhoods.”

Coun. Selina Robinson is an avid biker andsaid city residents often come to her with con-cerns.

In addition to improved pathways, she saidthere needs to be improved signage for where

these paths are.“There is a cross-town bike route and people

have told me they were biking up and downthe mountain to get around and didn’t evenknow about the route,” said Robinson. “Or bik-ers are using Mariner or Gatensbury, and bothof those are unsafe.”

Catherine Mahoruk, Coquitlam’s managerof transportation and planning for engineering

and public works, said there are “some challen-ging missing links” in the signage, and that “itis a work in progress.”

“Signing requests have gone in, and workis scheduled so you will see it going up,” saidMahoruk.

Engineering will be putting a report out tostaff on the signage progress at the request ofRobinson.

Here we go again.After almost getting itself above water on

the fiscal front, the B.C. Liberal governmentnow finds itself once again mired in a financial quag-mire.

This year’s budget has ballooned to almost $3 bil-lion, and the government’s plan to balance the booksby 2013 will require it to find an additional $500million.

Finding that kind of money isn’t goingto be easy. There is little sign revenuesflowing to government are going toincrease substantially any time soon, asa faltering U.S. economy and a shakyEuropean debt crisis threaten to smothersignificant economic growth for at leasta year, if not longer.

So the question becomes: Do theLiberals raise taxes or cut programspending in order to balance the books?

Either option is fraught with politicalperil, but I suspect cutting government-funded services and programs is a more dangerouspath to follow for Premier Christy Clark as she steersher government towards the next election.

Her predecessor, Gordon Campbell, had usedup all his political capital by the time he left officelargely because he had become associated with thereduction or elimination of all kinds of things somany people had come to rely on in their daily lives.

The HST debacle simply sealed the deal. It waspiled on a stack of negatives that was becominghigher and higher all the time.

The Liberals love to brag about cutting everyone’s

income taxes. While it’s certainly true most peopleover the years received significant decreases in theirincome taxes, those same folks found themselveshaving to dig into their pocketbooks more and moreto pay for all kinds of other government services(the latest being the big increase in medical servicepremiums).

Campbell and his government also becameunpopular because of such decisions as reducing

gaming grant payouts, which inflictedenormous political pain for relativelysmall fiscal gain.

If Clark follows the same path, herpersonal popularity — arguably, hergovernment’s only potential strengthright now — will begin to erode, adangerous development for someonewho has to face the electorate within 20months.

Her government will no doubt freezeor reduce some spending in some areas,and it can do so without inflicting upon

itself too much political damage. It can also likelystare down public sector unions that want signifi-cant wage increases.

But a truly balanced budget by 2013 will likelyhave to include a boost in revenue, which brings usto the sensitive area of raising taxes.

Now, raising income taxes seems like a non-start-er to me. Even adopting a potentially popular “soakthe rich” philosophy doesn’t raise enough moneybecause this province simply doesn’t have enoughmillionaires.

Increasing user fees at every turn also seems polit-

ically dangerous (although more user fees are likelyinevitable in the future).

But what about raising corporate taxes?Such a suggestion would have been greeted with

horror by the corporate-friendly Campbell adminis-tration, but Clark is trying to show in as many wayspossible that she is significantly different than herpredecessor.

There is no better way to do that than to ask thebusiness community to pay more than it currentlydoes to help balance the books (with the promiseof lowering those same taxes when the governmentcan afford to do so). The corporate tax rate has gonefrom 16 per cent to 10 per cent since the Liberalscame to power, and while I agree that too high a ratecan have a negative impact on investment, the tim-ing seems right for a bit of a boost.

Clark has already signalled she’s prepared to raisecorporate taxes, as that was part of her government’spitch to lower the HST by two points (she proposedthe idea of raising the corporate tax rate by two per-centage points).

The voters said no to the HST, but I don’t thinkthey were also saying no to higher corporate taxes.

However, you can be sure they will say no to anybig cuts to services or programs. That approach wasCampbell’s baby. Here’s a chance for the new boss toblaze a different trail.

Clark could try raising corporate tax rate

Re: “Students don’t want to be ‘a bargainingchip,’” letter to the editor, Wednesday, Sept. 7.

I was pleased to see the letter by Danielle Melvin.I’m in agreement with her opinion thatthe teachers are using the students as abargaining chip.

And her concerns that withholdingreport cards and transcripts could havea serious impact on graduating studentshas a lot of merit.

These actions make their TV ads seemsomewhat disingenuous, considering that what theysay and what they are actually doing are contrary toeach other.

One may also consider this as being irresponsibleand a dereliction of duty.

And what possible leverage could this have at thebargaining table?

Class size and prioritizing student concerns arelost when they are asking for 10 days offfor the death of a friend.

In these recessionary times, whenpeople are in dire straights, asking forsomething this ludicrous does not gainpublic sympathy or support.

There are several teachers in myextended family, so I have an apprecia-

tion for the integral position they play in our society,but even they are not in total agreement with someof the contract demands.

Does it seem like your paycheque doesn’tgo as far as it used to? Are you one ofthe growing number of people who

line up Saturday mornings to cross the borderfor cheap goods? Is buying a home in the Tri-Cities an impossible dream for you?

According to a study released Tuesday bythe Conference Board of Canada, the gapbetween rich and poor in Canada is rising fast— even faster than in the U.S., which had thewidest gap in income equality of 17 countriessurveyed.

“Canada had the fourth-largest increase inincome inequality among its peers,” said AnneGolden, chief executive of the ConferenceBoard. “Even though the U.S. currently hasthe largest rich-poor income gap among thesecountries, the gap in Canada has been risingat a faster rate.”

The trend isn’t new. It’s been underwaysince the mid-1990s, according to the Ottawa-based think tank.

The obscure measure the board used toarrive at its conclusion is called the Giniindex. An index of zero would represent asociety where everyone has the same income.Conversely, an index of one would show thata single person has all the income. Obviously,no society matches either of those criteria.

But the report indicates that Canada’s Giniindex rose from 0.293 in the mid-1990s to0.320 in the late 2000s. During the same per-iod, the index in the U.S. rose from 0.361 to0.378. This is one indicator we don’t want tocatch up to our southern neighbours on.

Politicians take note — if you’re still won-dering why the HST was defeated, the fearthat the middle class is shrinking probably hada lot to do with it. Yes, we know the tax bene-fited the film and other industries. But peoplewho feel their dreams slipping away aren’tseeing those trickle-down effects.

They’re seeing a steep fall in front of themand want to do everything they can to hangonto their middle-class rung on the ladder.

‘Disgusted’ by letterAs a father of five, I was disgusted at the let-

ter to the editor by Sandra Mackenzie.I would like to ask her, if she was on a bus

that happened to be full and a pregnant ladywalked on, would she give up her seat? If shesaw a woman trying to get her pram throughsome awkward doors in a mall, would she holdthe door open for her?

Ms. MacKenzie is the reason why society iswhat it is — peopledon’t care aboutothers anymore.

Pregnant women,as Ms. MacKenzieshould know, swellat unexpected times,making it uncom-fortable to walk, but unfortunately somewomen don’t have the luxury to sit at homeand expect other to rally around them. Theyhave to get out and do stuff for themselves.

Rob MackenPort Coquitlam

‘Women criticizingeach other’

As the mother of a three-year-old boy, I wasshocked when I read this letter stating thatpregnant and new moms do not need to havedesignated parking at the local mall or grocerystore and should instead park at the back ofthe parking lot to get rid of their baby fat.

Sadly, this isn’t the first time I’ve run intothis kind of attitude from someone who is notcurrently raising babies or young children— that it is no big deal and we should just getover it.

They have long forgotten how hard it can beslowly waddling around the mall on swollen

feet in your seventh month. The only reasonyou are there is to shop for a list of baby itemsa mile long. And if you’re lucky, you won’thave to push your giant cartload of boxes,packages and bags of baby stuff too far beforeyou can go home and sleep.

Damn right I’m looking for that designated

parking spot; the closer I am to the door, theeasier and safer it will be.

While I appreciate the thought about myhealth, walking further to your car is not thefirst thing that comes to mind when you areshopping with little ones.

I’m not sure what motivated this letter. Ragethat the writer has problems finding parking atthe grocery store?

But I can tell you that I am disappointed inthis example of women criticizing each otherinstead of supporting one another. We all havedifferent and challenging circumstances. Someof us work. Some stay home to care for ourkids. Some have no kids.

But what we all need is support, whether itis a designated parking spot that cuts a preg-nant or new mama a break when they are out,a parenting class or support group, a lovingfamily, a moms’ night out. Or maybe even ananger management class.

Lori McGrathPort Moody

Seniors need these spotsmore than young moms do

Kudos to Sandra MacKenzie for her veryeloquent letter wherein she expresses mysentiments exactly. Strangely enough, I hadjust been told (minutes before I read her let-ter in the paper) in no uncertain terms from ayoung mother speaking to her toddler, saying,“People cannot speak English. Otherwise, theywouldn’t park in that spot.”

Although it was not said directly to me,it was definitely intended for me and I tookissue with it. I informed her I spoke Englishvery well and was born many years ago in thiscountry and the parking spot I was in had nosign on it, although there likely had been one.

Obviously, people are not very happy with

the signs and have taken it upon themselves toremove them. She was still ranting on about itas I walked upstairs into the store.

I am a senior citizen and some days myknees are so bad I can barely navigate while onother days they are fine.

I’m not disabled enough to go to the doctorand pay to have him fill out an application fora handicapped sign and, in turn, pay for that.In the first place, I am on limited income andcannot afford it and, secondly, I treasure myindependence and ability to get around withoutassistance.

To have such remarks made to me indirectlythrough her child seems absolutely ludicrous.It was obvious she was a perfectly healthyyoung lady well able to look after herself andher small child. One would think parkingplaces would be reserved for senior citizenswell ahead of expectant mothers who areyoung and healthy.

L. DownesCoquitlam

‘I finally parked indesignated mother spaces’

I have to agree with Sandra MacKenzie.These are the same mothers who load the littledarlings into their big SUVs and drive themfour to six blocks to school.

I put a similar complaint into the adminis-tration at Coquitlam Centre for their ratio ofhandicapped parking to expectant/new motherspaces.

I would never be able to find handicappedspots for my mother, who is 90, when I tookher for hair/nail appointments in the mall.

Like Ms. MacKenzie, I finally parked indesignated mother spaces.

callousness of some individuals who disrespect the effort thatwe’ve put into honouring Charlene’s memory, and Lorraine’s,”Ogilvie said.

“I don’t have a clue who it could be, but it’s someone that hasno sense of compassion, obviously.”

Cory Sater faces 10 charges related to the crash, includingtwo counts each of dangerous driving causing death, impaireddriving causing death and causing an accident resulting indeath.

Vandals ‘haveno sense ofcompassion’

“This isn’t a joke, is it?” were Darin MacDonald’s first wordswhen he was told he had won this year’s PNE prize home.

But PNE president Michael McDaniel, who gave him thenews, reassured the Port Moody resident that he is in fact thenew owner of the 3,100-square-foot custom-built craftsmanhome that has been on display at the PNE throughout the fair.

MacDonald, 28, is not married and works in the oil and gasindustry. He was visiting the fair with his long-term girlfriendwhen he bought the lucky lottery ticket.

His name was drawn by Vancouver Mayor Gregor RobertsonThursday evening in front of the home. The house will berelocated to Kelowna, where it will overlook Okanagan Lake.

“It still feels like a dream,” said MacDonald over the phonewhile on a tour of the new home. At present he lives in a one-bedroom rented apartment in Port Moody, but is looking for-ward to moving in “as soon as I get the keys,” he said.

MacDonald will get the house fully furnished and equipped

with the latest in electronics and appliances. It has three bed-rooms and bathrooms, a theatre, gourmet kitchen, a spaciousgreat room, a wine cellar and two-car garage. There are 600square feet of sprawling, wraparound decks and an energy-effi-cient outdoor fireplace and hot tub.

MacDonald will also receive a $2,500 grocery package from

Market Place IGA and a year’s worth of MiniMaid housecleaningservice.

The total value of the prize package is estimated at more than$1.2 million. Lottery tickets were sold for five for $25 or 15 for$50.

Campaign urges drivers to slow down for Cone ZoneRoadside workers are looking for a little respect from drivers

— respect that may save their lives.“One second of inattention or a moment of impatience

by a driver can have tragic results,” Transportation andInfrastructure Minister Blair Lekstrom said in a press release.“The men and women who work at these sites have family andfriends who want to see them return home safely from their job.We all must respect their right to work in a safe environmentand do our part to ensure that happens.”

WorkSafeBC reports that over the past 10 years, 386 roadsideworkers were injured by motor vehicles — typically while work-ing in Cone Zones. Nearly half of those injuries were seriousand three per cent resulted in fatalities.

“Respect means paying close attention to someone else’sneeds, in this case the safety of roadside workers,” says DonnaWilson, WorkSafeBC vice-president of industry services and sus-tainability. “Too often drivers aren’t paying attention, resultingin serious injuries to roadside workers.”

The Work Zone Safety Alliance, a collection of organiza-tions committed to improving the safety of roadside workers,launched the Cone Zone campaign at the start of the summer.The campaign is a road safety initiative that encourages driversto take care when driving near roadside workers. That meansslow down, pay attention and be respectful.

Every worksite is different, ranging from the rebuilding ofa bridge —such as the Port Mann project— to tree trimmingand pothole repair. Traffic flow and accommodating drivers is a

primary consideration when determining how to safely set up aroadside worksite.

Allan Lamb, executive director of the BCAA Road SafetyFoundation, says regardless of the worksite, respect is key toeveryone’s safety.

“The workers are not there to get in drivers’ way,” says Lamb.“The work that they are doing actually enhances our safety,whether they are repairing our roads, trimming branches fromtrees or saving lives at a crash scene.”

To avoid the frustration that often comes with drivingthrough Cone Zones, drivers are advised to plan their routesand allow extra travel time; slow down even if they don’t seeanyone working; leave plenty of space between their vehicle andthe one in front of them; be patient and make eye contact withthe flag person.

For more information about roadside worker safety, visitWorkSafeBC.com or www.BCAARoadSafety.com.

The Cone Zone message expands beyond the messages of twoother initiatives — WorkSafeBC’s Slow Down signage campaignaimed at large construction projects, and the provincial govern-ment legislation that requires drivers to “slow down and moveover” when approaching emergency vehicles stopped at the sideof the road — to encompass all roadside workers.

The Work Zone Safety Alliance is a group of organizationscommitted to improving the safety of roadside workers. Theyare the BCAA Road Safety Foundation, BC Ambulance Service,BC Construction Safety Alliance, BC Flagging Association, BCHydro, BC Landscape and Nursery Association, BC MunicipalSafety Association, B.C. Road Builders and Heavy ConstructionAssociation, FortisBC, IBEW258, ICBC, Ministry of PublicSafety and Solicitor General, Ministry of Transportation andInfrastructure, Telus, The Community Against PreventableInjuries, Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services, Lower Mainlandpolice and WorkSafeBC.

In the main gallery of the Port Moody Arts Centre, will bean exhibition that spans three generations of a Norwegian-Canadian family.

“Generasjoner” celebrates the artistic skill of KarinVengshoel, her father Peter and grandfather Arne.

The grandfather, who died in 2004, was a master woodcarver, cabinetmaker and painter, and he wove rugs in a trad-itional Norwegian style. He passed on his skills to his son andgranddaughter when they were both very young, and the twooffspring have made their ownbody of work.

“Karin approached the gal-lery about making an exhib-ition on her grandfather, and itgrew from there,” said galleryco-ordinator Susan Jessop.

“Peter himself createswooden bowls and animal fig-ures, and he encouraged Karinto explore and create art andtry the techniques passed onto him by the grandfather. It’sa really nice family exhibitionto see the way they influencedeach other.”

Jessop said what is especially interesting is how the youngestgeneration has melded the traditional folklore into mediumsthat didn’t exist for the majority of her grandfather’s life.

“Karin has taken the traditional skills and given it a moderntwist,” Jessop said.

“She works in a lot of different mediums with painting, carv-ing, photography and fashion design. She’s created pieces inthis exhibition to honour her grandfather, and incorporatedthe techniques he taught to make modern and contemporaryworks.”

Glass artist displays worksat Port Moody Arts Centre

In the Port Moody Arts Centre’s Plum Gallery Display Case,the hand-blown glass works of Miyuki Shinkai will take centrestage for her collection, entitled Metaphysics and Glass.

Shinkai was born in Shiga, Japan, and lived for a while inthe United States before moving to Canada. She worked andlived in Vancouver before relocating with her husband, WayneHarjula, who is also a well-known glass artist, to Gibsons on theSunshine Coast to start a family and be closer to nature.

It was at the Pulchuck Glass School in Washington wherethe two met, and together they have formed the Mellon GlassStudio in Gibsons.

“Miyuki found out we have a glass cabinet and applied to bepart of our exhibition,” said Jessop. “We haven’t had very manyglass pieces shown — there have been clay sculptures andjewelry — but this will be nice. We have a newer cabinet withglass shelves, so this will be a really beautiful installation.”

The opening reception for the exhibitions will take place onThursday, Sept. 15 from 6 to 8 p.m., and the artists will be inattendance. These two exhibitions and more run through Oct.29. For further exhibitions and event dates at the Port MoodyArts Centre, visit them online at www.pomoartscentre.ca.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid filmed in CoquitlamThe name of the film that caused the closure of Eagle Ridge

Pool has been revealed: the third installment of the Diary of aWimpy Kid movies is being filmed partially in Coquitlam.

Initially, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart had been unableto give out the name of the film, but had hinted that the filmbeing shot at the pool was “really neat.”

Kwikwetlem: Red Fish Up the Riverwas first envisioned two years ago,and the exhibition will now come

to fruition at the Evergreen CulturalCentre on Pinetree Way in Coquitlam.

The previous visual arts manager,Ellen Menes visualized the idea. A pro-posal was submitted to the band, and nowcurrent manager Astrid Heyerdahl andher curatorial assistant, Victoria Miller,have worked closely with the band andother Coast Salish artists to create theexhibition.

“It’s wonderful to showcase the historyand to showcase current initiatives theband is taking to restore habitats, espe-cially for the salmon,” said Heyerdahl.

“It discusses ways they’re preservingtheir own culture, and also, for the sal-mon, it’s not only vital symbol source offood and cultural value to first nations,but also to the city of Coquitlam.”

The exhibition follows the theme of the

salmon, with a mask depicting the mythof the salmon, glass art and carvings.

Heyerdahl is especially excited by therediscovery of roots and traditions by thenative band.

“They recently carved a canoe for thefirst time in 100 years,” Heyerdahl saidenthusiastically.

“We’ll be showing a documentaryentitled The Journey of the Canoe todiscuss what it’s like to relearn the artof canoe carving. We’re excited to have amodel on display.”

The model that will be part of theexhibition is five feet long. Heyerdahl saidunfortunately the full size canoe is toolarge to put on display at the gallery, butthe model adds something extra to theexhibition.

“The whole exhibition is really educa-tional and informative,” said Heyerdahl,“specifically for our art gallery becausewe don’t often present historical exhib-itions like this, most often just the art.”

“We are not only presenting contem-porary art, but also the historical infor-mation and messages about looking to

the future, and how to work together inthe future,” Heyerdahl continued. “It’sgreat for us as an art gallery to presentthis and not just have displays like this ata museum of natural history. We have avery different context than a natural hist-ory museum.”

Heyerdahl said the experience of work-ing with the Coquitlam band councillorsand learning more about the history ofthe region “has been really wonderful.”

Visits were also made to the Sto:lonation, and artifacts have been borrowedfrom that band for the exhibition. TheCoquitlam band are Coast Salish, soHeyerdahl said the exhibition is expandedto include works from other Coast Salishbands in the region.

“We got to meet a lot of wonder-ful people who live in the Fraser RiverValley,” Heyerdahl said.

The exhibition runs from Friday,Sept. 16 through Saturday, Nov. 5 at1205 Pinetree Way, at the Art Gallery atEvergreen in Coquitlam.

Admission is free of charge for peopleof all ages.

Ping pong tablesliven up park

The centre of Town Centre Park has a new addition: tabletennis.

The City of Coquitlam unveiled the new outdoor equipmentlast Friday, when Mayor Richard Stewart played a few hands.

“Coquitlam’s two new outdoor ping-pong tables will providean exciting opportunity for inter-generational physical activityfor people of all backgrounds and cultures,” Stewart said in apress release.

“These tables have the added benefit of stimulating positivesocial interaction among park visitors.”

Sitting in a prime location close to the playground, conces-sion and stadium, the tables were donated by Wesbild HoldingsLtd., with the goal of providing “a new option for families andpeople of all ages to play together.”

The tables may be used by seasoned ping-ponging veteransand amateur table tennis players alike, just as community ten-nis courts operate.

Coquitlam is actively seeking to be at the lead of the “fastgrowing movement” toward informal and non-traditionaloutdoor sporting activities. The donation by Wesbild is partof a larger contribution network called Coquitlam’s Park GiftProgram, where the city’s aim is to, through the donations,provide equipment to “increase participation in an active andhealthy lifestyle.”

Those interested in making a contribution may call 604-927-6226, or visit the city online at www.coquitlam.ca.

Better Business Bureau issues ‘penny auction’ warningOnline ads, often designed

to look like news reports, arecropping up on popular web-sites claiming that you canget great deals on iPads andother electronics with onlinepenny auctions.

The discounts offered onpenny auction sites are tempt-ing, but the Better BusinessBureau warns bargain huntersthey should stop and do theirresearch before making theirfirst bid.

“BBB has received hun-dreds of complaints fromconsumers about penny auc-tions so far this year and we’reencouraging online bargainhunters to do their research,”says Lynda Pasacreta, BBBpresident and CEO. “Unliketypical auctions, unsuccess-fully bidding on an itemthrough a penny auction willstill cost you. BBB has heardfrom people who have losthundreds of dollars biddingon items yet have nothing toshow for it.”

Most commonly with apenny auction, users must setup an account and purchasebids with a credit or debitcard; individual bids may costless than a dollar and areoften sold in bundles of 100 ormore. Every item has a count-down clock and as people bid,the cost of the item goes upincrementally and more timeis added to the clock. Even ifyou don’t win the item, youstill have to pay for the bidsyou placed, which can add upover time.

Since May, BBB hasreceived more than 800complaints against a com-pany called BidRack, manyfrom Canadians who havesigned up for their services.Consumers have reportedthat when they sign up forthe BidRack service they areunder the understandingthat it is free. However, uponregistration their credit cardis then charged a fee, oftenaround $99. The BBB stronglyencourages consumers to readcarefully the terms and condi-tions of any offer.

Other complaints filedagainst penny auction web-sites claim that some sites usephony bidders and “bots” todrive up the prices on items.Customer support is also amajor concern as many com-plainants explain they had avery difficult time receivingrefunds or resolving otherissues with the company.

Before making your firstbid on a penny auction:

• Research the penny auc-tion with BBB first. Not allpenny auctions are createdequal, and BBB ratings onvarious sites range from A- toF. Always research the pennyauction site with BBB at www.mbc.bbb.org before signingup.

• Read the fine print care-fully. Before providing anypersonal information or sign-ing up for any “free” trialwith a penny auction, read allof the fine print carefully onthe website. Pay close atten-tion to details on signup and

annual fees, minimum bid-ding requirements, maximumprize amounts and how to geta refund.

• Know what you’re buying.Before bidding on an item,research how much it costs

elsewhere and keep track ofhow much you’re spending onbids overall to see if you reallyare getting a good deal.

• Keep a close eye on yourcredit card statement. Manypeople have complained to

BBB about being unexpect-edly charged just for signingup. Some complaints werealso automatically charged formore bids when they ran outor for a yearly registration fee,not realizing this would be

the case.• Complain to BBB if you

feel you’ve been ripped off. Ifyou feel you’ve been misledby a penny auction site, filea complaint with your BBB.BBB has assisted customers in

resolving their issues, includ-ing getting refunds. If thebusiness does not co-operate,your complaint will still godown on the company’s BBBBusiness Review and serve asa warning to others.

Help your childrenget healthy and activeStudents are more likely to succeed if they

are healthy and active. With familiesadjusting to the start of another school

year, the province offers these tips to encour-age healthy eating and an active lifestyle:

Parents of primary students:• Include a variety of fruits and vegetables in

your children’s snacks and lunches every day.• Have your children help you pack

their lunches, so they can learn to makehealthy choices early on. For some tips,check out this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGkOADVkcpg.

• Help your children learn about and under-stand Canada’s Food Guide at www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/food-guide-aliment/index-eng.php.

• To encourage fitness, take family walkswith your children and, if possible, walk themto school.

• Join or co-ordinate a walking schoolbus or bicycle train to help your childrenget to school safely with adult supervision.For tips on how to do this, check out theDASH BC website at www.dashbc.org/index.php?option=com_content=article=57=80.

• Introduce your children to active gamesthey can play on their own, like hopscotchor jumping rope. When more children arearound, introduce tag, soccer or baseball.

Parents of intermediateand middle school students:

• Whenever possible, encourage your chil-dren to walk, ride, rollerblade or skateboard toschool instead of you driving them.

• Suggest that your children take the dogfor a walk before and after school.

• Limit your children’s screen time. Explainto your children that it’s important to sit lessand move more in order to stay at a healthyweight.

• As children grow, their nutritional needs

change. Continue to encourage healthy eat-ing habits using Canada’s Food Guide to planhealthy meals and snacks.

• Teach your children to limit foods highin sugar, fat and sodium, and help them learnto replace these foods with more nutritioussnacks instead.

Parents of secondary students:• Encourage your teens to get plenty of rest

to ensure they are alert and ready to learn atschool.

• Encourage your teenagers to get involvedin after-school sports.

• Suggest your teenagers take a class at thelocal community centre or encourage them toparticipate in a walking or hiking group.

• Teach your children how to buy, prepareand enjoy healthy meals using Canada’s FoodGuide.

All parents:• Encourage your children to eat breakfast

every day, as it provides fuel for the brainto learn and helps them maintain a healthyweight.

• Keep nutritious foods, like cut-up vege-tables and fruit, cheese sticks, yogurt andbutter-free popcorn, on hand to make healthysnacking easy.

• If your child has food allergies, co-ordinatewith the school principal on an updated emer-gency plan that best meets your child’s needs.

• Schedule regular dental and any necessarymedical checkups.

• Encourage your children to choose milkor water at meals instead of sugary drinks orenergy drinks.

• Get children active through sports, or gofor nightly family walks or bike rides.

• Develop good hand-washing habits, as fre-quent hand-washing reduces the spread of coldand flu viruses.

in a press release. It is 16 times safer than trav-elling in a family car per passenger/kilometreof travel. Although school buses have an excel-lent safety record, mishaps can happen. Thesemishaps can include instances where childrenare injured while riding on the bus. It is morecommon however, for injuries to be sustainedonce outside the bus, including being hit bytheir own school bus or other vehicles.

Every driver must remember that whenapproaching a stopped school bus (on a non-divided road) that has its overhead red signal-lights flashing and side stop sign out, theymust stop before reaching the bus and mustnot proceed until the bus moves or the over-head red signal-lights have stopped flashing.

Here are some safety tips to share with chil-dren to ensure safe travel.

Getting to and on the school bus:1. Arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes

before the scheduled pick up time. Childrenshould never run after the school bus to try tocatch it. If you miss the bus, go back home orif you are at school, report to a teacher.

2. Stay on the sidewalk, well away from theroadway and stay back until the bus has cometo a full stop and the door opens.

3. If your child needs to cross the street,teach them to look to the left, then to theright, and to the left once more before crossingthe street.

4. Use the handrail when boarding or exitingthe bus.

Riding on the school bus:

5. Take a seat as quickly as possible, putbelongings under the seat and stay seated.

6. Never stick anything out of the window,including arms or heads.

7. Save food for snack time at school or untilyou get home.

8. Wait until the school bus comes to a com-plete stop before getting off.

After riding on the school bus:9. When getting off the bus, take two large

steps away from bus. If you must walk in frontof the bus, walk ahead at least three metres (10giant steps).

10. The driver must be able to see you andwill give a signal when it is safe to cross. Crossin a single file.

11. If a child drops something near or underthe school bus, they should never attempt toretrieve it without the driver’s permission.

Travel by carParents and guardians must respect their

child’s school safety measures for droppingoff and picking up their children at school.Every effort must be made to avoid collisionand injury by refraining to create hazardoussituations of traffic congestion and unsafe driv-ing practices within the school zone. Respectposted speed limits, and designated drop-offand pick-up areas.

Travel by bicycleTo ride a bicycle to and from school,

children must be mature enough (minimum nine to 12 yearsold), and must have enough experience.

The rider should be able to scan ahead and check behindwithout swerving.

To ensure safe cycling, young cyclists must:• Wear a properly-fitted helmet, and have clothes that are

suited for cycling (e.g. their pants tucked in).• Have their bikes fitted properly and in good working order.

The bike should have a regular maintenance check-up andshould have a bell. It is also a good idea to have a safety flag.

• Know and obey all traffic rules, signs and signals. Theymust signal turns and stops. Ride in a straight line in the samedirection as traffic and stop at every stop sign.

• Be predictable to other road users by riding with the traffic— usually on the right-hand side of the roadway.

• Never ride in the dark. If an older child must ride in thedark, make sure that reflective clothing and night accessories(e.g. reflectors and lights) are used.

Walking to schoolTo keep safe on roads, children must:

• Find a safe and direct route to school with the help of theirparents. Hazards should be identified (train tracks, busy inter-sections, etc.) and a designated route with safety rules should beestablished.

• Stay on sidewalks whenever possible. If there is no side-walk, use the left side of the road facing traffic.

• Cross streets only at crosswalks and learn to look to theleft, the right and then left again before proceeding, even atintersections with pedestrian walk signs.

• Wait until traffic comes to a stop before crossing. Make suredrivers see you before you cross.

Children cycling to school need to be predictable on road

Q. My dog has been scooting and licking his hind end.How I can stop this?A. Often the problem you’re asking about is related to the analglands. Dogs and cats have two anal glands located close to theanal opening at 5 and 7 o’clock. These glands are embedded in theanal sphincter muscle and connected to the anal area by a shortnarrow canal.Normal gland content is a watery brownish liquid with a distinctiveunpleasant odour. If content is not expressed when the animaldefecates, it is retained inside the gland, and discomfort leads toscooting and licking. At your Veterinarian office or groomer it is

simple and inexpensive to have a professional manually express gland content.Complications occur if the problem is neglected. You may notice skin redness, oozing, and scabbingdue to chewing, along with dragging the hind end on the floor. Painful defecation causes discomfortand nervous behaviour and at this stage we strongly recommend a prompt visit to your Veterinarian.Sometimes infected glands get swollen and develop an abscess. An abscess is very painful andyou can see a large swelling or bulging sometimes the size of an egg. Dogs become lethargic andrefuse to eat and often develop a high fever. In these cases surgical intervention is required with anaggressive treatment of antibiotics and pain medications.

Q: Can child supportbe backdated?A: In certain cases, Judgescan make child support pay-ments start before the date ofa court order. The reasoningbehind these retroactive sup-port payments is to ensure

that children have the support they are entitledto, when they are entitled to it. The SupremeCourt of Canada has just ruled that parents havean ongoing obligation to provide for childrenbased on their incomes as they change. Thismeans that even if an agreement or court orderis in place, a parent paying child support is re-quired to provide the other parent with informa-tion about any increases to his or her income.The increase in child support can be made ret-roactive to the date income increased, even ifthat happened months or years before. How-ever, support won’t usually be increased retro-actively unless notice was given that incomeinformation was required or additional supportwas needed. There are a variety of other factorsthat a Judge will consider before making an or-der for retroactive support. For example, a Judgewill consider why a recipient parent has delayeda request for increased support or whether theretroactive support payment will cause hardshipto the payor parent. Each case is different andtime restrictions do apply. An experienced fam-ily law lawyer can advise you with respect toyour obligation to pay support or your children’sentitlement to support. For a free consultation,call Smyth & Company at (604) 942 6560.

Plantar Fasciitis is caused by inflammation and irritation of the plantar fascia, abroad ligamentous tissue that runs along the arch of the foot and attaches tothe heel. A bone spur can develop on the heel with long term irritation to theplantar fascia which can make any weight bearing activity quite painful.Yes, Laser Light therapy can help with Plantar Fasciitis by reducing the pain andinflammation associated with this condition. Many of our patients experiencecomplete, permanent relief from heel pain. After Laser Light therapy the pain ofthose first few morning steps and prolonged standing are gone. Patients reportthat they are able to resume a more active lifestyle without heel pain and areable to reduce or eliminate their use of pain medication.This non-toxic, non-invasive, safe treatment is rapidly becoming the treatmentof choice for painful conditions affecting not only the feet, but all joints includ-ing knees, shoulders, hands, backs and necks.

I have heel pain that is extremely painful thefirst few steps in the morning and bothers mewhen I have to stand or walk for long periods.An x-ray shows a bone spur on the heel and mydoctor has diagnosed Plantar Fasciitis.Can Laser Light therapy help with my heel pain?

Turn off the TV for National Family Dinner NightOn Thursday, Sept. 15,

M&M Meat Shops is encour-aging Canadians to turn offthe TV, log off from theircomputers and power downtheir cellphones to partici-pate in the Seventh AnnualNational Family Dinner Night.

The importance of familydinners reaches far beyondsimply sharing a mealtogether. Research shows thatgathering around the tablepresents a valuable opportun-ity to interact, strengthenrelationships and affirm thevalue of every individual inthe family and their role intheir community.

A recent national studyconducted by CanadianOmnibus reveals that aswe become increasinglyimmersed in the digital age,the intrusion of electroniccommunication devices dur-ing traditional times, suchas family meals, is spiralling.Eighty per cent of Canadiansadmit to having at least onetype of electronic communi-cation device turned on andin use during family meals,according to a press release.More than half of Canadians(51 per cent) revealed that theTV stays on at mealtimes.

While research shows thepropensity to have thesedevices turned on during fam-ily meals, more than 81 percent of Canadians say thatthey would enjoy dinner morewithout these distractions.

“Sitting down for a mealtogether can have a lasting,positive effect on open com-munication between childrenand parents and re-establisha sense of family unity,” saysMac Voisin, founder of M&MMeat Shops. “It’s time tounplug, at least during din-ner, so that our electronic dis-tractions don’t get in the wayof this special time.”

National Family DinnerNight attracts public andcharitable support every yearand has contributed signifi-cantly to the more than $21.5million M&M Meat Shops hasraised for the Crohn’s andColitis Foundation of Canada(CCFC). This year, M&MMeat Shops urges everyonein Canada to register theirparticipation and demonstratethe importance of gettingtogether with the people whomatter most in their lives.

For everyone who registerstheir pledge to participate inNational Family Dinner Nightat www.nationalfamilydinner-night.com, M&M Meat Shopswill make a $1 donation to the

CCFC, up to a maximum of$100,000.

“The memories created dur-ing these special times reallydo make a difference in thestrength of the family unit

and allow for a break in ourotherwise hectic lives,” addsVoisin. The first step to spend-ing quality time with lovedones is to free yourself fromall distractions, electronic or

otherwise, so you can enjoythe undivided attention ofthose at the dinner table. Nexttime you get together for afamily meal, ask everyone tosit down to eat without being

connected to a single elec-tronic device.

“Research shows that whena parent unplugs, it makes apositive statement about howthey truly care about connect-

ing with their family,” saysVoisin. “Having your deviceturned on during dinneronly interferes with the closepersonal connections you arehoping to nurture.”

Health

Reflect on your daily routinesAt the start of a new school year, our

kids experience a mixture of anxiety andexcitement. My daughter is just starting

high school: a new school, new routines, newfriends. My son experienced his last first day ofschool. He’ll be graduating in June.

Many adults still feel a touch of thatSeptember anxiety long after finishing school.In the spring, the recently graduated can stillget some exam anxiety — without the exams.

But most of us aren’t re-enteringthat annual cycle of revising ourschedules, choosing our coursesand beginning new extra-curricularactivities. Maybe we should.

At her new school, my daughteris making new friends. Over time,she will get to know them muchbetter. A few may become life-long friends. Getting to know oneanother and growing in the depthand breadth of our relationships isa big part of the learning at school . . . and inlife. As adults, we can take this for granted andas with much the rest of our lives, fall into theunexamined routine.

As our children sign up for new clubs andtry out for teams, I take the time to reflecton how I’ve chosen to occupy my “extracur-ricular” hours. What should I do more? Whatshould I do less? Which activities reflect mypriorities and values? Which are wastes of pre-cious family time?

With their return to school, our childrencontinue building upon a growing foundationof knowledge and life skills. They recognizethat they are travelling along the long roadtowards mastery.

The journey, of course, doesn’t end withgraduation. Yet for us adults without the exter-nal prompts of daily classes, exams, papers andprojects, we can get stuck in unproductive,unstimulating and often unhealthy routine.

So as you slow down in driving and watchout for kids in school zones, reflect on yourdaily routine, your own curriculum, your rela-tionships and your health. What big or smallchanges might you need?

Though self-change does not come over-night, you can begin a change at any time.

Since June 1, 2011, the Ministry of Health inpartnership with the GPSC (General PracticeServices Committee) launched the Healthy

Lifestyle Prescription for Healthprogram. Family physicians havebeen given new tools to help theirpatients adopt healthier lifestyles.You can book a special personalhealth risk assessment with yourfamily physician if you have at leastone of the following risk factors:(1) smoking, (2) unhealthy eating(excess calories, fat or sodium), (3)physical inactivity (less than 30minutes of activity several times a

week) or (4) obesity.At these visits, you will be able to set a

health goal with your family doctor who canrefer you to free-of-charge telephone-basedlifestyle support services. These include thephysical activity line, dietician services, smok-ing cessation programs (quitnow.ca), patientvoices network peer coaching program, self-management programs and Bounce Back (formental health). For more information, checkthe program website at healthfamiliesbc.ca/healthy-lifestyles-prescription-for-health.php.

If the Mann Cup shared thetradition of the Stanley Cupand allowed each player to takeit home for a day, Port Moodywould have its day with thesilver cup.

It just wasn’t the hometownboy most people expected.

Port Moody’s Jarrett Davissaid he’d like nothing bet-ter than to set the nationallacrosse trophy on a table atthe Golden Spike Pub and soakup what it means to win it all.

Although Davis, 24, wasn’tthe only Port Moody playervying for that right, it washis Brampton Excelsiors whoprevailed Monday 6-3 over theLangley Thunder to claim thebest-of-seven national senior Achampionship series, bestinga player he looked up to as ascrawny teenager.

“Growing up Jon (neeAthan) Iannucci was the guyI looked up to,” said Davis,moments after the final buzzersounded and the Bramptonplayers had stormed theLangley Events Centre floor tocelebrate. “Going to the EagleRidge (Park) box and playingwith him was one of my fond-est memories as a kid playinglacrosse.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling,it’s a cliché, but... You grow updreaming about this momentand to have it come true isamazing.”

In five games against theThunder, Davis pocketed atourney-leading six goals— sharing that honour withLangley’s Iannucci — anddelivering the decisive knock-out punch Monday midwaythrough the second period.

The Ontario champions had stakedout a 3-0 lead in the first period,only to see it erased by the Thunderin a span of 4:02 early in the secondperiod.

After Kyle Belton had pulled the twoteams even with a powerplay marker,Davis squelched the home team’smomentum by burying a shot pastLangley netminder Brodie MacDonaldto put Brampton back on top. Thedefence and MVP goaltender AnthonyCosmo held the Thunder sticks silentthe rest of the way.

It was part of a three-goal perfor-mance that earned the Port Moodyproduct Game 5’s player of the game

award, and the honour of being one ofthe first players to hoist the Mann Cupover his head.

On a team with its share of polishedshooters, Davis emerged as a clutchperformer who brought some key first-hand experience against the Thunder.

“Against that defence every goal ispretty big. It’s just one of those daysthe ball falls into the net for you andthank God it was tonight,” he said.

The one-time Coquitlam juniorAdanac and former Maple RidgeBurrard sniper proved to be morethan just a piece to the puzzle forthe Excelsiors, who created a bit ofa storm by upsetting powerhousePeterborough in the Ontario champi-onship.

Returning to the west coast and ashot at a national title made this year’sjourney full circle for the soft spokenstickman.

With four years at BellarmineUniversity completed last fall, Davisjumped head-first into both prolacrosse circuits — first last winterwith the National Lacrosse League’sRochester Knighthawks and this sum-mer with the outdoor Major LacrosseLeague’s Hamilton Nationals.

The five-foot-11 sniper, who wasthe fifth highest scorer in the WesternLacrosse Association in 2010, chose toset up camp in Ontario and contributeto a Mann Cup run, with Bramptonbeing the first ones to call.

“I was lucky to have Jarrett in

Rochester this winter and he fit inwell,” said Brampton head coach MikeHansen. “He brought everything andmore than we expected from him. Hewas a huge player for us down thestretch.

“Every single one of these guysstepped up their game when theyhad to, we never relied on one guy.Tonight was Jarrett’s turn.”

The biggest adjustment for Daviswas just getting familiar with the play-ers — both friend and foe alike.

“It’s learning the players, really.Out west you grow up playing againstthese (Langley) guys, you’re able towatch and learn the systems. Knowing

Entering the fourth weekof a long pre-season, theCoquitlam Express are show-ing traits that will be beneficialduring the long, cold 2011/12B.C. Hockey League season.

They’ve also displayed somecharacteristics that aren’t ashelpful.

In a pair of exhibition lossesto the highly ranked PentictonVees and Powell River Kings onthe weekend, Coquitlam put upvaliant efforts only to fall 5-3and 3-2, respectively.

Buoyed by solid netminding,a promising offensive attackand some physical displays,head coach Jon Calvano andhis coaching staff had reasonsto smile.

Both games, however,turned on special teams— with Penticton and PowellRiver demonstrating why theywere ranked among the top-12junior A clubs in Canada.

“I thought we measuredup fantastically until thethird period,” Calvano saidof Sunday’s contest with theKings, held in Gibsons. “In thethird we got a little bit undis-ciplined and ended up beingstuck in the box for nearly 16minutes of the period.”

Powell River capitalized withtwo goals to erase a 2-1 Expresslead. Tallying for Coquitlamwere Justin Georgeson andJohn Siemer, while netminderBilly McGladrey played wellbetween the pipes.

Two days earlier, it wasInterior Conference heavy-weight Penticton doing thehonours, breaking a 2-2 tieearly in the third and keepingCoquitlam goalie Khalid Devjibusy throughout the night.

Devji faced 39 shots and heldhis ground against the visit-ing Vees. Penticton’s ConnorReilly’s penalty shot tally mid-way through the third, afterbeing hauled down by ClintonAtkinson during an Expresspowerplay, stood up as thewinner.

The club’s powerplay strug-gled to sustain any pressureminus teen forward phenomAlexander Kerfoot, who isattending the Canada Westtraining camp in Alberta.

Mitchell Fyffe, Ben Murphyand Dana Tenenbaum suppliedthe offence.

Winger Cody Michelle dem-onstrated his willingness toanswer the bell in any situationwhen he fought Kyle Beaulieubefore the game was two min-utes old, landing a couple ofsolid right hands. Late in thegame, Atkinson went at it withChad Bannor.

Port Moody sniper delivers Mann magic

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

Port Moody’s Jarrett Davis looks for an opening during the Mann Cup championship series this week in Langley. TheBrampton Excelsiors forward scored three times Monday as Brampton won the cup in five games.

As first steps go, it was a good one.The Terry Fox Ravens launched the 2011

senior football season Saturday by slipping pastSalmon Arm 20-18 in an exhibition test.

Fullback Jake Nylund carried in a crucial two-point convert to give Fox the victory, cappinghis own scoring drive and third touchdown ofthe day. It was part of a 21-carry, 158-yard dayfor the Grade 12.

Setting it up was a nifty Tyrel Ratich catchthat put the ball deep in Salmon Arm territory.

“We’re pretty young and it showed,” remarkedFox co-coach Martin McDonnell. “We got up12-0 and it should have been 21-0 as we got theball to the one-yard line and left it there.”

The two teams were deadlocked 12-12 at half-time, with the six-foot Nylund also scoring onrushes of 32 and five yards each.

Quarterback Trevor Casey completed seven of11 pass attempts for 107 yards, with Ratich post-ing four catches. Grayson Medwid led the tackleparade with five solo and an interception.

“We’re off everyone’s radar, with just threereturning starters from last year,” McDonnellsaid. “We’re not only chronologically young, butyoung in experience, too.”

Fox’s next test comes Friday, 7 p.m. whenNew Westminster visits Percy Perry Stadium.

The Centennial Centaurs head south for a tiltFriday outside Seattle against Eastside Catholic.

Shucking off remnants of their opening gameloss, the Coquitlam junior bantam Raidersracked up their first victory of the season byclipping North Surrey 28-14 inminor football action.

Coquitlam fell behind first, withNorth Surrey cashing in their firstpossession. But utilizing some slickversatility, the Raiders respondedwith a pair of touchdowns thatturned the tables.

They first connected on Bowen Goldade’sacrobatic catch off a Liam Stewart pass that cov-ered 35 yards. Converting the extra point wasR.J. Shelley.

Coquitlam kept it going with a series offive-to-six yard rushing plays that tired out theSurrey defenders. Stewart capped it by hittingTaylor Poitras, who shook off a couple of defen-sive backs, to make it 15-8. Shelley again nailedthe convert to give the Raiders an eight-pointlead early in the second quarter.

With momentum secure, the visitors

marched down field, with successful runs bySean Stewart, Dylan Cusker and Poitras, to setup Liam Stewart’s quarterback keeper from two

yards out.Ahead 22-8 at the half,

Coquitlam surrendered its secondmajor of the day but blocked theextra kick attempt to keep it 22-14.

Capping a tremendous day onboth sides of the ball, Sean Stewartcruised in from six yards to com-

plete the offence.

PEEWEEQuarterback Max Kennedy broke loose for a

50-yard touchdown dash to put the first pointson the board, putting the Coquitlam peeweeWildcats on track for a 13-0 win over the NewWestminster Hyacks.

The game was a scoreless stalemate for muchof the first half. New West delivered the firstsustained drive of the game, only to be stoppedwhen Matthew Hewa-Baddege forced a fumble

with a big hit.That turnover led to Kennedy’s TD run to

give Coquitlam the lead late in the first half.Jarrett Chong and Chad Deugau set the

tone on defence in the second half, puttingthe brakes to New West’s running game. The

Wildcats capped the win when Kennedy hitKieran Little for the final score.

• In other Coquitlam Minor Football peeweeaction, the Coquitlam Cougars gave it a valianttry before falling 16-0 to Cloverdale last week.Jarrod Hills played well on defence.

Coquitlam shakes off early deficit to trump North SurreySports

the strong defenders, thesystems are run a little differ-ently but the lack of experi-ence on players is the bigdifference,” he said.

“When you come to a newteam you don’t want to shootthe ball 100 times a game.Sometimes the coach asksyou to do different things andluckily I was able to adjust,”said Davis.

In 10 regular season games

he deposited 11 goals, gettingmore comfortable in his newsurroundings each game out.

The team’s rise to the topincluded beating a heavilyfavoured Peterborough to winthe right to play Langley.

That victory may have pro-vided the ultimate momen-tum, but Davis said theThunder presented a worthyopponent, as evident by Game1’s 11-3 outcome.

Two of the Excelsiors’ winswere by a single goal.

“Getting past Peterboroughwas a big step but youcouldn’t count out thisLangley team. They deserve alot of credit because they didsomething no one has donein the past five years, which isbeat New West,” said Davis.

“We really didn’t takeanything for granted. Theywon the first game by a hugeamount. Destiny, maybe, butit just really all came togetherand that’s the way it goessometimes.”
