For nearly a month, Peter Barringgon and hiswife Hoshiko patiently played the waiting game.

Every morning in the dark, they would taketurns laying out food to entice the black bordercollie roaming around their Coquitlam neighbour-hood of Cottonwood.

Her name was Lucy, and she had been on thelam since August after running away from herfoster family at Gates Park in PoCo.

The young dog, which wasn’t much older than

a pup at the time, was initially rescued from ahoarding situation in the U.S. and brought to theTri-Cities for care.

Lucy had never been socialized with humansand was completely mistrustful of people.

She ended up slipping out of her harness andinto the wilds.

She was spotted all over the area, from PoCo toBurnaby and Coquitlam, and was on the run fromhumans.

But being animal lovers and a dog owner them-selves, Peter and Hoshiko weren’t about to give upCONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Got Pain?LASERLIGHT

THERAPYmay be the

answer

What our patients say...Neck and Shoulder Pain“On day one, it was dif to move my head all the way left and right and nowI can. I could not lift my left arm above my head and now I can. THE PAIN IS GONE!If I hurt myself again, I will treat with LASER Therapy.”

Foot Pain“I had pain in my big toe for over a year but after having only 5 laser treatments thepain was gone. I am happy with the service and the friendly atmosphere. I highlyrecommend this safe, non-invasive therapy.”

Burn Injury“...My calf had made contact with a hot tail pipe of a Harley and the burn was justoozing. There was a noticeable improvement after one treatment, and after 3 in arow, it was as good as gone!”

Sciatica“My GP could not offer any treatment other than pain killers and waiting it out. Aftersix laser treatments I am now pain free and have resumed my active life style.”

Spinal StenosisI was diagnosed with Central Canal Spinal Stenosis and was suffering with pain,bilateral foot drop and decreasing ability to walk. I had been recommended to dosurgery to the pain. After 13 treatments of Laser Light Therapy, there was somuch relief. I am no longer taking any pain medications. I have no tingling in my feetand am able to walk without my cane now.

Plantar FasciitisLaser Therapy was a godsend. I suffered a severe case of Plantar Fasciitis in both feetto the point where I could barely function. After about 5 treatments I started noticinga change for the better and after 10 treatments I was able to resume my daily walkswithout pain and discomfort. It was also recommended that I wear proper orthotics toavoid future incidents.

Wound“Thanks to laser treatment (6 treatments) and a course of vitamins, a very bad skin disorderover my legs and left hand cleared up. I had this problem for over 6 months.Thanks again.”

Low intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated,non-toxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy fromboth superluminous and laser diodes. Cells use this energyto repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’snatural healing process. Based on the genetic makeup of thecells, an individual’s response to LILTwill vary to some degree.

GOT PAIN? Groin Pull“I recently hurt my groin area playing soccer and golf and was in quite a bit of pain.After 4 treatments of laser light treatment my injury had significant improvement whichallowed me to be active again.”

Wounds“Thanks to Laser treatment and a course of Vitamins, a very bad skin disorder over legs andleft hand, cleared up. Thanks again.

I had this problem for over 16 months.”

Headache and Neck Pain“Due to a whiplash injury, I suffered severe neck pain...I tried every possible treatment...butalas, nothing worked. One day, I came across an ad for Laser light Therapy and even thoughI was sceptical I tried it out of desperation...I had approximately 18 treatments and no longersuffer neck pain – it is truly a miracle!”

Bone Spurs in Hip Joint“For several years I experienced pain in my hip which spread to my lower back and mademy leg ache...After 2 treatments I felt almost immediate relief, and after 4, danced at mygrandson’s wedding. After 10 treatments I was completely back to normal with no pain andfully functioning...This therapy worked wonders. I couldn’t believe it, and I would stronglyrecommend it.”

Osteoarthritis in Knee“I was recently diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in my right knee. Pain meds were not helpingand I was experiencing trouble going up and down stairs.

“...When I read about Laser (Therapy) I decided to give it a try! The treatment was verycomfortable...I found relief after just a few treatments”

“...I am completely pain free now and stairs are not a problem!”

Foot Pain“I had pain in my big toe for over a year but after having only 5 Laser Treatments the pain wasgone. I highly recommend this safe, non-invasive therapy.”

Achilles Tendon Tear“I had partially torn the Achilles tendon on my right foot during a squash match”

“After 7 weeks of treatment, I have more range of motion in my ankles and the scar tissuethat should have developed in that area never did due to the Laser Therapy treatment.”

Within just a few min-utes of takeoff, CoquitlamSearch and Rescue memberWendi Harder, armed with astretcher while attached to arope and helicopter, plungesa couple of hundred feet intothe deep green forest.

Out of sight for a shorttime, she and another res-cuer emerge with the patient,safely landing on a greenspace in Eagle Mountain Parkin Coquitlam.

In all, the rescue took about20 minutes.

Fortunately, the rescuewasn’t real.

Instead it was a demonstra-tion organized by the localSAR team to show off a newskill and resource to savepeople injured or lost in thebackcountry.

Last month, the searchteam got the all-clear to startperforming long-line rescuesafter its HETS (HelicopterExternal Transport System)

kit became fully operational.On Sunday, the team invit-

ed the public and local digni-taries to check out the newsystem up close.

“I think, in a nutshell, it will

save lives,” Ian MacDonald,a search manager withCoquitlam SAR, told the Tri-Cities NOW.

And as it was explained,the system is deceptively

simple.A synthetic line or rope, up

to 76 metres (250 feet) long,is attached around a helicop-ter through various hooks.

The helicopter’s doorsremain open throughout theflight.

The line is approved tocarry up to 600 pounds, butcan actually handle muchmore weight.

MacDonald noted the newrescue capability will alsoreduce the response time toget to injured people and actas a safety tool for searchersin the field.

He pointed out that in thepast, carrying patients outmanually would take hoursand use more resources.

With the HETS system,just two team members arerequired for a mission.

There are a total of nineSAR team members trainedto perform long-line rescues.

So far this season, thekit hasn’t been called intoaction.

The team began working

on getting long-line equippedback in 2011 after receivinga Spirit of Coquitlam grantfor $45,000 and training 13members.

But the team’s HETS wasshelved in the fall of 2012after the equipment wasdecertified by TransportCanada.

The search team then hadto rely on using a kit ownedby North Shore Rescue.

MacDonald said with theability to do long-line rescues,Coquitlam’s team is on parwith the North Shore team.

And he expects other searchteams around the LowerMainland will be calling thelocal SAR team for help whenthe system is needed.

Coquitlam Coun. CraigHodge said the new systemwill give the team a chance torespond quickly to a situationin its own backyard.

He suggested with morepeoplemovingintoCoquitlamand taking advantage of themountain terrain, the teamwill be called more frequently

for rescues.“Having this equipment

available to us, and our vol-unteers trained to this level,is very reassuring to me asa city councillor and a resi-dent,” Hodge said.

Coquitlam-BurkeMountainMLA Doug Horne said thenew system will enhance theteam’s rescue capability, add-ing it’s important given thedifficult terrain in the back-country.

While the equipment is cer-tified for a number of years,training needs to reoccurevery year.

It’s an expensive venturefor the team, as helicopter-flying time can cost morethan $2,000 an hour.

The team gets some fund-ing through the city, throughprovincial gaming grants andby fundraising.

Both Hodge and Hornesaid it’s important the teamhas the equipment and train-ing to carry out rescues in thefuture.

on the stray dog.They had heard about the

missing dog’s story and con-tacted Petsearchers Canada,a Surrey-based service thathelps find lost or stolen pets.

The couple, along with thepet detectives, hatched a planto catch the elusive Lucy.

The Barringgons tied a ropeto their gate several timesa night, putting out Scoobysnacks for the dog.

They repeated the ritual fordays, all while taking turnskeeping a close eye to makesure no other critters stolethe food.

Finally, after several weeks,on Friday night Lucy trustedthe food source enough tocome all the way into theyard. They shut the gate andcaught the scared dog in anet.

Peter said Lucy struggledand then froze at first in thearms of her captor, but withina few minutes she was eat-ing cheese out of the handof Alesha MacLellan, with

Petsearchers Canada.“It’s a phenomenal end-

ing,” MacLellan told the Tri-Cities NOW.

In all, Lucy had been onher own and wandering thestreets for 299 days beforelast weekend. Petsearchersreceived hundreds of callsfrom residents across the Tri-Cities during the 10 monthsshe was on the run.

MacLellan figures the bor-der collie had learned sur-vival skills during her timein the U.S. and could stand

up for herself against otherwild animals, including thecoyotes she was seen with attimes.

Lucy is now in the care ofPetsearchers until she can bebrought out of her shell andadopted to a new home.

“I think she’s going to makesomeone a nice pet once shegets over the trauma of beingcaught after so long,” Petersaid.

Mayors end ‘townhaul’Jeremy [email protected]

After driving thousands of kilometres acrossmost of the country, the weary travellers,being the three mayors of the Tri-Cities, areback home.

And the local leaders appear to havereturned from the Federation of CanadianMunicipalities (FCM) conference May 30 inNiagara Falls with an RV full of ideas andmemories to share with their respective com-munities.

In all, the three mayors ended up visiting19 cities during a week-long trip to FCM in amotor home, compiling interviews, video andpictures all while providing updates throughsocial media along the way.

“We went to a lot of really great little com-munities,” Port Moody Mike Clay said, offer-ing his take on the trip.

He said it was interesting to see how com-munities in Alberta and Saskatchewan benefitfrom the prosperity of resource companies byputting funding back into municipalities.

Clay said as the B.C. government focuseson liquefied natural gas projects, a prosperityfund needs to be developed that will benefitcities.

The Port Moody mayor said he also hearda lot of talk about partnerships from hiscounterparts in other cities — between dif-ferent levels of government, businesses andneighbouring municipalities.

He said that also led to a fair amount ofdiscussion between the three Tri-Cities may-ors on where they can partner and integrateservices.

“We need to stop being territorial and hav-ing turf wars and start working together,”Clay said.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said hewas focused on recreation centres and seeingbest practices.

He took a special interest in the rec centresin Kamloops and Canmore, Alta.

Moore noted the centre in Kamloops is oneof the few to turn a profit, while the Canmorefacility has integrated a library, art galleryand rock-climbing wall.

The PoCo mayor intends to share his find-ings with both city staff and council.

While there were plenty of laughs andmemorable moments along the way, like whenClay and Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewarthelped police in Kenora, Ont. catch somedrugstore thieves, there were also sombretimes of reflection.

The trio spent a fair amount of time at theTerry Fox Monument near Thunder Bay, Ont.where Fox’s Marathon of Hope ended.

“It’s probably one of the most movingmoments I’ve had in my life,” Moore said,adding more than 30 years later, Fox’s dreamlives on.

The mayors also noted their journey wasprofiled at the closing and opening of theFCM, while 178,000 people viewed tweetsfrom their @townhaulcanada account.

“It provided great exposure to our threecities at the municipal and national level,”Moore said.

Students plan rallyJohn [email protected]

Online reports suggested thousands of stu-dents would participate today in what couldbe the largest protest in ongoing labour strifebetween B.C. teachers and the province.

The B.C. Student Walkout for Studentsstarted gathering momentum over the week-end on social media, and by Monday after-noon, the Facebook page organizing the pro-test had eclipsed 11,000 participants.

According to online postings, students werebeing asked to protest all day today in front oftheir respective schools, beginning at 9 a.m.(after Tri-Cities NOW deadline).

The two event organizers stressed that anyplanned protests be non-partisan, and sup-port be shown for students only.

“Both sides need to get their act togetherand reach an agreement,” event organizerVictoria Barker wrote online. “This has beengoing on far too long (13 years too long)and the students are the ones losing out, allbecause adults cannot get along.”

Coquitlam Teachers’ Association presidentCharley King said while his members wereaware of the planned protest, they were nottaking a formal position.

“We’re not getting involved in any of it, one

way or the other,” he said. “I think we wouldreport absences as we would normally do tothe principal or the office and they’ll followup from there … that’s ultimately the school’sresponsibility.”

School board chair Melissa Hyndes notedthe district has no precedent to fall back on interms of a mass walkout.

“I would definitely not advise any elemen-tary or middle school student to join,” shesaid. “There are [supervision] problems thereand, as a parent, I certainly wouldn’t feel com-fortable with them taking part in any sort ofrally for safety reasons.”

As for any secondary students who plan toparticipate, Hyndes hopes their messaging isquick and to the point.

“I’m hoping that whatever they plan is civil,respectful of the communities and that theymake their point and then they disperse,” shesaid.

It’s also unclear as to what, if any, disciplinestudents will face should they take part in theday-long protest.

“I do not believe that principals and admin-istrators will be encouraging students to notcome to school,” Hyndes said. “My feelingis, and from the board’s perspective, whenschool is in session, we expect our students tobe in their classrooms.”

After years of painstakingresearch, scientists have an-nounced a weight loss dis-covery so radical it could endAmerica’s obesity epidemic by2018.

“This is a real game-changer!" Says John P, anutritionist from Phoenix, AZ.Some say, Garcinia Cambogiais going to put millions out ofwork. Referring to the countlessjobs in thediet industry.But justthink about themillions of livesthat will be saved from sicknessand disease that comes frombeing fat!

Famous TV Heart Surgeon:This is the “Holy Grail forpeople with Weight problems!”

So exactly why isGarcinia Cambogiawowing the scientific

community?For one thing, it’s not

another diet craze that’s in oneday and out the other.

It’s a remarkable substancederived from an amazingpumpkin shaped fruit grownin southeast Asia… But notjust any variety of Garcinia willdo. It has to be grown only inspecific regions and cultivatedunder just the right conditions.The very best of the crop is“Garcinia Cambogia 2000”.

Garcinia Cambogia wipesaway fat so completely, thatit has caught the attentionof scientists and weight lossexperts all over the globe. Itworks like nothing else seenbefore. Simply take as directedand eat reasonably. You canalmost see your excess fat meltoff your body. It’s just thateffective!

Experts predict, the data isso compelling... “Weight-losscenters could be forced to shutdown. Diet doctors could beout of business within 5-years.”

“There just won’t be a needfor them anymore,” he added.

Gastric Bypassin a Bottle

The real power of GarciniaCambogia lies deep inside thefruit. It contains an ingredientcalled HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid)that melts fat away in the sameway stomach stapling does.

Johan Stifling, a leadingscientist in Utrecht Hollandsays: “With Garcinia it doesn’ttake much to fill you up. You’rejust not hungry anymore. Thecompound absolutely killsuncontrollable urges to binge onfood in just minutes after takingit. After just a fewbites, you’ll feelstuffed to the gills. You’ll swearyour stomachhas shrunk.”

The secret is its abilityto inhibit Citrate LyaseEnzyme (the stuff that turnscarbs into fat). HCA builds an

“impenetrable wall” so fat can’tget absorbed by your body… soyou simply can’t gain weight.Then, the HCA breaks up thefat you already have and forcesit out of your body.

Think about it. A pill thatstops fat frombeingmade, as itobliterates the fat you alreadyhave. Incredibly, the poundsand inches just roll off you.

Not Just fortheWealthy

Until recently, only the rich,famous and powerful havebeen able to try Garcinia Cam-bogia. But now, for the firsttime ever, the manufacturerhas made this revolutionaryperfected Garcina Cambogiaand made it available to thegeneral public.TheyCall it Gar-cina Cambogia 2000. And sincethe country’s obesity rate is atan all-time-high; it couldn’thave come at a better time.

Unlike other products on themarket that do little or nothingfor your weight problem;Garcinia Cambogia 2000contains the precise doses ofGarcinia and HCA; cultivatedin optimized conditionsand perfected for rapid andpermanent weight loss. Theresult? You’ll see changes inyour appetite almost overnight!

Your Body...Perfected!

There’sa surprise sidebenefitin Garcinia Cambogia 2000that virtually no other weight-loss product can give you —MUSCLE! Garcinia Cambogiaalso builds up your muscletone. So not only do you ridyour body of ugly fat… you getstronger too! Take as directedand Garcinia Cambogia willhave you slimmer, trimmer andstrikingly fit. You’ll see a totalbodymakeover in no time!

NoMore“Stress-Eating

Binges”If you’re an emotional eater

(and who isn’t), you’ll neverworry about over-eating again.Garcinia Cambogia 2000 stopsyour compulsion to "stuff yourface" during times of stress.It’s pure magic. Garcinia Cam-bogia 2000 jump-starts yourserotonin levels like a naturalXanex. So you don’t give into the temptation of “comfortfood” to calm down.

You’ll feel great, you’ll sleepgreat, and look great. And evenbeable squeeze intoyour favoritepair of skinny jeans again!

Healthier HeartAnd here’s fantastic news

for your heart. The HCAconcentration in GarciniaCambogia 2000 is proven tolower LDL ‘bad cholesterol’ bya whopping 31%. So you canenjoy the benefits of a healthyheart, great blood pressurenumbers, and normal bloodsugar too.That's great news forpeople have been overweightfor years and put unnecessarystress on their heart.

Clinical StudiesDon’t Lie!

In a recent study published intheAmericanJournalofDiabetes,Obesity and Metabolism,scientists discovered thatGarcinia Cambogia causessignificant weight loss, lowersfood intake and body weightgain, as well as tackling factorssuch as cholesterol, low-densitylipoproteins, triglycerides, andserum leptin levels.

100% SafeWhat’s more, Garcinia

Cambogia contains no fillers,no binders, and it’s produced instate-of-the-art FDA registeredlab facilities. It’s 100% safe,natural and won’t interfere withyour regularmedications. So youcan loseweightwith confidence.

Ecstatic UsersSandy M. of Orlando, FL

said, “I lost 4 pounds a week.And my ‘bad cholesterol’dropped almost 30%!”

Robin B. ofMinneapolis, MNadds, “I was skeptical. But whenI saw a Famous TV Doctor thatrecommend it, I tried GarciniaCambogia. I was shocked! I lost20 lbs. in the first month!”

New developments inmetabolic science hasled to the unimaginable... weight-loss!

Scientists PredictEnd of Obesity by 2018

The end of the legislature ses-sion allows us to take stock ofour MLAs, our political par-ties and the political scene ingeneral. Who emerged as key

players? Which issues resonated withthe public?

The B.C. Liberals continued toexude confidence — even cockiness— throughout the session as their MLAsstill ride high in the saddle after theunexpected new lease on political lifebeing granted to them by the voters lastyear.

Premier Christy Clark has gone frombeing derided as “premier photo-op” forinsisting on being front and centre ineverything her government was doing,to being a hands-off leader willing todelegate all kinds of responsibilities tothose around her.

She is also very clearly the leader ofher party and caucus, and continues tobe their star performer in the legislature(although she has continued her disdainfor the place, usually only attending thesession two days a week).

It also became even more clear inthis past session that the “quarterback”of the B.C. Liberals is Finance MinisterMike de Jong. As the government houseleader he controlled the legislature’sproceedings and acted as a calmingpresence for his side when things got alittle raucous.

Of the veterans on the governmentside, Energy Minister Bill Bennett hasgone from being banished from GordonCampbell’s government to being a majorforce under Clark.

And it is evident that Jobs MinisterShirley Bond, Environment MinisterMary Polak and LNG Minister RichColeman are key lieutenants to the pre-mier.

Of the newcomers, TransportationMinister Todd Stone stood out as per-

haps the ablest performer in the house,as he time and again swatted awayNDP attacks on his reductions to someBC Ferry route sailings or on his plansfor transit and transportation in MetroVancouver.

After a bit of a shaky start, Attorney-General Suzanne Anton seemed tosteady herself and emerged stronger atthe end of the session than at the begin-ning.

And Technology Minister AndrewWilkinson displayed a demonstrableability to really get under the skin ofNDP MLAs, thus pretty well ensuring hemay get a higher profile portfolio soonerthan later.

On the NDP side, things weren’t quiteas rosy. The caucus is slowly coming outof the near-coma-like state that envel-oped it for so long after the party’s dev-astating election loss, and some veteranMLAs often looked like they would haveliked to have been anywhere other thanthe legislature.

The party’s leadership problem wasa major distraction for most of the ses-sion, and helped suck the energy outof the caucus. The inevitable choice ofJohn Horgan as leader came too late inthe session to have much of an impacton things.

The caucus didn’t garner much mediacoverage during the session, whichisn’t that unusual in the first year of agovernment’s mandate. The NDP rarely

broke new ground on many issues,and often offered predictably negativeresponses to anything the governmentdid.

Question period, the prime vehicleto get public attention, often consistedof NDP MLAs asking questions aboutissues or stories that were weeks oldor had already received widespreadattention. And so QP, so vital a tool toan Opposition party, often became anon-event.

There was the odd exception, ofcourse. Most notable was the NDP’sfocus on the “claw back” of child sup-port payments to women on disabilityassistance. The party made crediblearguments about the unfairness of thegovernment’s policy, and I wouldn’t besurprised if some positive changes occuras a result.

Two pieces of legislation stood out:one to allow a transit referendum inMetro Vancouver, and the other todivide the Agriculture Land Reserveinto two zones, with one of them hav-ing more potential for development offarmland.

The NDP chose the ALR bill as the hillto die on, and the session ended in acri-mony and bitterness (for some) as thebill inevitably passed into law.

It was a fitting issue on which toend the session, since the ALR legisla-tion neatly framed a crucial differencebetween the two parties, as the changesit allows will likely be more popular inthe Interior and the North, two areasthe NDP is increasingly having troubleconnecting with.

And so the legislature now sits quietuntil October, when the politiciansreturn and the shouting begins anew. Ican’t wait!

Keith Baldrey is chief politicalreporter for Global BC.

Kudos to B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong forstanding up for taxpayers — albeit in a smallway — by leading the charge to end a $61-per-day food expense for the family members ofMLAs visiting the legislature in Victoria.

The little-known policy allowed spouses, children andgrandchildren of MLAs to expense the per diem while visit-ing the provincial capital.

“If people want to bring family members to Victoria,that’s fine, but they can pay for their own food,” de Jongtold a reporter.

We agree. While this move won’t save much in the schemeof things, it makes for good optics, which are important.Just ask ex-Alberta premier Alison Redford — who enragedtaxpayers by spending $45,000 on first-class tickets and agovernment plane to fly to Nelson Mandela’s funeral.

In B.C., the thought of MLAs’ family members feasting— literally — at the public trough isn’t a tasty proposition,especially as average Joes struggle to get by in a provincewith a higher-than-average cost of living.

How many people spend $61 a day on food when theytravel? For a couple, the combined $122 per diem could goa long way — even longer for a child, who would presum-ably be eating off the kids menu. Lobster, anyone?

This change won’t make a dent in government spending,but it gives the impression that some in Victoria “get it.”

Good riddanceto this expense

‘HANDS OFF OUREDUCATION SYSTEM’

Re: “Corporate funding a concern,” letter to theeditor, Wednesday, May 21.

In his letter to the editor, Randy Turner raises someimportant questions about Chevron providing fundingto our public education system with its Fuel Your Schoolprogram.

On its website, Chevron describes the program as “anonline charity that allows K-12 teachers to request assist-ance in obtaining the school supplies they need for eligibleclassroom projects ... to help support and improve criticaleducation programming and materials, particularly in theSTEM subjects — science, technology, engineering andmath — to help prepare students for the growing numberof technical jobs in the modern economy…”

The program provides funds based on the amount of gaspurchased at local Chevron gas stations.

Some may think that this is a good thing when the privatesector steps in to help cover the costs of underfunded publicservices.

I would prefer to see our government adequately financethe education system.

The IMF recently observed that Canadian taxpayerssubsidize the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $34 bil-lion a year. Why are we providing corporate welfare to bigenergy corporations while we have nothing left to educateour children? Perhaps we should redirect B.C.’s share ofthese subsidies to energy corporations back into our publiceducation system.

The private sector has no “business” using our publiceducation system as a tool to market its products. It cer-tainly should not be setting priorities in the classroom. Whyshould the fossil fuel industry have a say over whether theSTEM subjects are better funded than others? What aboutthe need to prepare students for jobs in a green economy aswe transition away from fossil fuels?

Let big energy stick to what it does best — making mas-sive profits off of public resources — and keep its hands offour education system.

CONSIDERSAVINGA LIFERe: “PoCo woman waitsfor lifesaving transplant,”Friday, May 30.

As soon as I saw the headlinein your Friday edition, I felt com-pelled to write you this letter.

Four years ago, on June 1,2010, I donated a kidney, andI want to appeal to all yourreaders to also consider donat-ing a kidney, and to contact BCTransplant. Their phone numberis 604-877-2240.

Now to my story.When I retired in 2009, I found

out, by attending clinics with mywife, that her renal condition wasmuch more severe than I was ledto believe, and that she was closeto requiring dialysis.

I immediately contacted BCTransplant to get on the PairedKidney Exchange Program, andwas sent a questionnaire aboutmy health. Following a number oftests, it was established that I wasa match with my wife, and thisspeeded things up.

The removal operation wasdone laparoscopically, which leftonly small scars, and healed quitefast. Within two weeks, I wasdriving again, and by the fifthweek, I was doing all the things

around the house I did before theoperation.

The support I received fromboth the BC Transplant group, aswell as the Kidney Foundation,was excellent. I was treated likeroyalty. The Kidney Foundationreimbursed me for meals, mileageand parking while attending testsat VGH or St. Paul’s, as well as fora hotel room near VGH for the

night before the operation. Now,four years later, I can only saythat it was an incredible experi-ence.

Except for the anti-rejectiondrugs my wife has to take daily,her life is back to normal. We aretravelling again, and there are nodietary restrictions.

As for myself, I do not feelany different. I am now under

observation by BC Transplantwith annual tests, and so far mydoctor tells me that everything isnormal.

I can only urge people to vol-unteer. If you are not in goodhealth, and if your kidneys arenot working optimally, you willnot be considered for donation,so that your own health won’t becompromised. But if you are in aposition to donate, you have noidea the difference it will make inthe recipient’s life, and how youwill feel having given life back tosomebody in desperate need.

I can only wish for AdriennePace that my appeal yieldsresults, and that she finds a suit-able donor.

Local roguedentistordered to pay $69KJeremy [email protected]

His time as a rogue dentisthas come with a price.

Last week, a B.C. SupremeCourt judge ordered TungSheng (David) Wu to pay$69,000 to the College ofDental Surgeons of BC tocover the cost of investi-gating and prosecuting hisunauthorized practice.

“We are gratified with theorder and hope to be able toexecute on it,” the college’sregistrar and CEO, JeromeMarburg, wrote in an e-mailto the Tri-Cities NOW.

A few days earlier, Wuappeared in court and dis-puted some of the college’sclaims, saying the investiga-tion costs should be paid forby the college’s registrants,rather than him.

The college was looking forWu, who now reportedly livesin Port Coquitlam, to pay outmore than $100,000.

But B.C. Supreme CourtAssociate Chief Justice AustinCullen noted the college hadonly been successful in find-ing Wu guilty of civil con-tempt of court, rather than

the more serious criminalcontempt of court.

He said the college wastherefore only entitled to 70per cent of the “special” legalcosts it had sought againstWu.

The judge also said he wasnot going to order that Wupay the full amount the col-lege sought for its investiga-tion, saying evidence of thescope of the investigationwas lacking.

The dentist’s saga beganlast August after health offi-cials sent out a warning toanyone who received treat-ment from Wu that they mayhave been exposed to serious

viruses.Fraser Health issued the

alert after Wu, who theysay had performed illegaldentistry in Port Moody,Coquitlam and Burnaby,appeared to be setting upshop again — despite a courtorder against him.

On Monday, the healthauthority said it has been incontact with more than 450people who were Wu’s clientssince the alert was issued lastyear.

Fraser Health said it hadnot identified any individ-uals who got an infection asa result of seeing Wu, buturged any former clients tocontact their doctor.

The revelations about Wusurfaced after an investiga-tion by the dental college inthe spring of 2013. Wu thenwent on the lam after a war-rant was issued for his arrestwhen he failed to show up tocourt in August.

In November, a judge inVancouver sentenced the fakedentist to three months in jailfor civil contempt of court.

Bears are commonly seen in Coquitlam but rarely present a threat to humans. They are constantly

looking for food to fulfill their 20,000 calories a day diet in preparation for the denningmonths.

Typically bears are active betweenMarch and November and den the rest of the year. However, bears

are not picky eaters and if food is made available to them, theymay be active all year round. During

denning, bears lose about 30% of their bodymass. Cubs are born during denning and live with their

mother for 1.5 years. A bear can live over 20 years.

HELP KEEP COQUITLAM BEARS WILD!Understanding bears’behaviourwill help keep people safe and bearswild. Coquitlam’s parks and natural

areas contain ample food to sustain the bear population, whose natural diet consists of 80% vegetation.

Bears are normally shy and scared of people butmay lose this natural fear if fed or approached by

people. Do not feed or approach themand help play a part in keeping Coquitlam’s bearswild.

NEAT FACTS

» Bears have a strong sense of smell, far greater than that of dogs.

» Bears have a good sense of sight and hearing, as good as or

better than humans.

» Despite their name, black bears can also be all shades of brown.

» Stay calm and do not run.

» Do not approach and leave the area slowly.

» Speak to the bear in a calm, firm voice.

» Keeps dogs on leash at all times.

Grant retiring after 7years at school district“It’s been a career that’s

been focused on teachingand learning, communitydevelopment, engagementof students and staff,” saidGrant, 63. “I’m proud to saywe did some good things forsome wonderful learners.”

Grant denied the last fewyears’ worth of district defi-cits and surging layoff num-bers swayed his decision. Hesaid he was set to retire lastfall, though the hiring of sec-retary-treasurer Mark Ferraripushed back those plans.

“It is not an easy decision,”he said. “But I hung on a

while longer because I didn’twant to leave our new secre-tary-treasurer in the midst ofthe budget process.”

During his time with thedistrict, Grant helped overseerenovation, or new construc-tion projects, at CentennialSecondary, Pitt River andEagle Mountain middleschools, and Glen and JamesPark elementary schools.Plans are also underway forthe replacement of Bantingand Moody Middle schools.

He also oversaw the imple-mentation of specialty acad-emies like the Mandarinbilingual and Reggio Emiliaprograms.

“Tom has always put stu-dents at the forefront of alldecisions being made at thesenior level,” school boardchair Melissa Hyndes said ina news release.

“He has guided and men-tored the district leadershipteam and the board of educa-tion through some very dif-ficult times. We will deeplymiss Tom …”

As for what’s next in hislife, Grant isn’t overly sure.

“Right now, it is complete-ly open,” he said. “It will bemy first winter holiday in 38years. It will be time spentwith the grandchildren. I’mgoing to look at the oppor-

tunities that will come along,but I haven’t really thought

about anything other thanputting my shoes up, getting

back into shape and stuff likethat.”

Lawn sprinkling regulations are now in effectLawn sprinkling regula-

tions began June 1 “to con-serve high-quality drinkingwater,” according to MetroVancouver. From June 1 toSept. 30, lawn sprinkling isnot permitted during even-ings, when the demandfor water for dishwashers,clothes washing, showers andother domestic uses is at itsdaily peak. One lawn sprink-ler uses as much water inone hour as 25 toilet flushes,five loads of laundry and fivedishwasher loads.

“One hour of lawn sprink-ling each week is all that’sneeded for lawns to remainhealthy,” said board chair andPoCo Mayor Greg Moore.

“Don’t waste a drop. Whywaste high-quality drinkingwater on lawns?”

The demand for waterdoubles during the hottestdays of summer, to as muchas two billion litres of watera day. In 1993, municipal-ities and Metro Vancouverbegan asking residents andbusinesses to comply withlawn sprinkling regulationsthat are in place from June1 to Sept. 30 each year.Lawn sprinkling regulations— along with other waterconservation initiatives, suchas bylaws that require morewater-efficient toilets in newconstruction — have resultedin a 26-per-cent decline in percapita water consumption inthe region between 1993 and2013.

Lawn sprinkling is onlypermitted before 9 a.m., atthe following times and daysof the week:

• Even numbered residen-tial addresses — Monday,Wednesday or Saturday mor-nings, between 4 and 9 a.m.

• Odd numbered residen-tial addresses — Tuesday,Thursday or Sunday mor-nings, between 4 and 9 a.m.

Metro Vancouver recom-mends that people watertheir lawns a maximum ofjust one hour a week. Someresidents collect rainwaterin rain barrels and use thatnon-potable water for lawnsand gardens. And many arechoosing not to put drinkingwater on their lawns. After afew days of rain and cloudyskies, a yellow lawn greensup again. These restrictionsapply to lawn sprinkling only.Residents can use tap waterto water flowers, vegetables,shrubs and trees.

Some tips to minimize thequantity of water that’s wast-ed on lawns:

• Over-watering a lawnmakes the grass weaker andmore susceptible to disease.

• A healthy lawn onlyneeds to be watered for onehour, once a week, or less ifit rains.

• Most lawns only need 2.5cm or one inch of water eachweek. Put an empty tuna canout on the lawn when yousprinkle. Turn off the sprink-ler when the tuna can is fullof water.

• Water your lawns and

gardens early in the morningto reduce evaporation.

• Leave grass clippingson your lawn to help reduce

evaporation and the need towater your lawn.

• Replace lawns with orna-mental grasses and other

drought-resistant plants thatrequire little or no watering.

Stayhealthy andvitalwith these lifestyle tips

By Kim Angelakis, national director of clin-ical education and research at We Care HomeHealth Services

Very few of us enjoy getting older. Witheach passing year, life can bring new challen-ges, ailments and obstacles. Although manyolder individuals live with chronic healthconditions, (71 per cent of Canadians aged 60to 79 have at least one) there are many thingsthat can be done to remain active and vital atthis stage in life.

Those afflicted with chronic health prob-lems often feel as though they have littlecontrol over their life, but there are manylittle things they can do that can make a bigdifference. Our staff at We Care Home HealthServices has found that certain lifestylechoices can profoundly affect not only thequality of their life, but also their ability to beindependent of others’ care.

Taking a page out of We Care’s free GetGoing to Keep Going Guide, I offer the follow-ing tips:

Get Eating: Eating a healthy balance ofnutritious foods can be easy and fun bychoosing a new fruit or vegetable to exploreeach week. A healthy diet promotes brainfunction and provides essential nutrients tothe body’s most critical organs.

Get Active: If possible, get walking, stretch-ing or doing simple exercises. Staying activenot only helps mitigate symptoms of chronicpain, but can help generate additional energyand fend off other illnesses.

Get Involved: Getting involved in regular

volunteer activities is a winning propositionfor everyone: you, those you help and thecommunity around you. Doing so helps keepyour mind sharp and induces confidence that,in turn, reduces stress.

Get Happy: As we age, it’s not uncommonto feel afraid, anxious, depressed or lonely. Tohelp combat these feelings, try to stay sociallyactive and don’t hesitate to talk about yourfeelings.

Get Help: Learn to identify new symptomsand act on them immediately by talking toyour doctor, a telehealth line, a provincialhome care agency or a private home healthcare provider.

A healthy diet promotes brain function.

This is the time of year to take the cover offyour motorcycle, pack up your RV or get downto the lakeside to launch your boat. As you getready to gas up and get going, there are a var-iety of things to consider from an insuranceperspective. Here are a few tips to help ensurethat you have an amazing season, on the roador on the water:

MotorcyclesAs with other vehicles, insuring a motor-

cycle involves choosing from numerous pol-icy options, but there is an easy way to cutthrough the clutter when deciding what isbest for you: “I strongly suggest getting themost comprehensive coverage available,” saysWestern Financial Group regional senior vicepresident Greg McGill. “Even if you are anoccasional rider, the dangers are the same, soyou want to be prepared for anything.”

Fact: The value and make of your bikeaffects the cost of your insurance. Keep this inmind when purchasing a motorcycle.

Recreational vehiclesA recent Western Financial Group study

showed that on average, Canadian RV ownersspend 34 nights per year in the vehicle, and themajority (78 per cent) agree that most of theirtrips are to nearby destinations. Regardless ofhow far from home you travel, or the lengthof time you’re away, you can never be tooprepared. To avoid liabilities associated withdriving an RV, speak to your provider aboutappropriate protection.

Fact: What you are allowed to do in an RVvaries greatly when it is stationary versus

when it is in motion. On the road, always staybuckled up and refrain from dangerous activ-ities such as using the stove.

Water vehiclesBoats and other watercraft can be a lot of

fun, yet they can also be a major expense,especially if you fail to insure them correctly(or at all). “You wouldn’t drive your car with-out proper coverage, so you should be asdiligent about your water vehicle,” explainsMcGill. “Given the range of options available,it’s best to contact a professional to find outexactly what you need.”

Fact: If your vessel qualifies as a yacht, thatnot only changes your insurance picture, italso alters what you can and cannot do onthe water.

SENIORS WEEK

Tips onhow topreparefor a visit to your doctorMost people

don’t putmuchthought intopreparing

for their visits to the doctor,although a few seniors willwear their Sunday’s best— women in their formaldresses and men in suits andties.

Women often apologizefor not shaving their legs(though that doesn’t botherdoctors at all) and men maynot have had time to showerafter work (though that maybother us a little).

Doctors are used to seeingyou at your worst — whenyou’re midway throughthe worst flu ever, recover-ing from major surgery, orthroughout a long labour andthe delivery of a baby.

Beyond basic grooming,making an appointment orjust dropping in, there are afew things you can do to bebetter prepared for a visit toyour doctor.

Let’s begin with the list.That’s not the list of essen-tial qualities you seek in anideal mate nor is it the to-dolist your real-life spouse haswritten for you. Both may bebeyond human achievement.

I mean your list of con-cerns or your problem list.Because of the constant pres-sure of time, many doctorshope that it is a short list. Butto be realistic, our lives are

complicated and sometimeswe have to deal with a lot ofproblems at once.

When I’m on the verge offeeling overwhelmed withunlucky patients’ unendinglists of problems, I imaginehow hard daily life is forthose patients and their fam-ilies.

To prepare your doctor andthe clinic staff for your visit,when booking your appoint-ment, tell the medical officeassistant everything that youwould like to address dur-ing the visit. This will ensurethat there is adequate timeto deal with your concerns. Ifthere isn’t, one or two of yourproblems may have to beaddressed at a separate visit.

Provide your list in pointform. Save the completehistory of how each problemevolved for your doctor. Themedical office assistant ismultitasking other dutiesbeyond answering the phoneand booking appointments.

One reason for yourvisit may be to review theresults of a recent test or to

discuss a visit to a consult-ant. By informing the staffin advance, they can ensurethat the reports are availablefor your visit.

If something else comes upafter booking the appoint-ment, inform the staff whenyou arrive at the clinic.Again, this is to ensure thatthere is adequate time toaddress your concerns andthat the doctor has every-thing needed to attend toyour needs.

When you meet with yourdoctor, take a moment toreview your list and agreeon the objectives of the day’svisit. The doctor may havea list of things you shouldreview together, such as theresults of a recent investiga-tion or a screening test thatyou may need at this time.

The two of you may needto negotiate the agenda forthis visit and if more time isneeded, a plan for address-ing some of the problems ata future appointment can beset.

Finally, while preparingfor your medical visit, don’tforget to bring a pen andpaper. You will need it towrite down what you have

discussed with your phys-ician, the plan of action andany medical terminology thatis new to you.

In summary, be preparedfor every medical visit by(1) making a list of yourconcerns, (2) sharing it withthe staff when you call foran appointment, (3) brieflyreviewing that list with yourdoctor at the beginning ofyour visit, and (4) bringing apen and paper to write downwhat you wish to remember.

It is designed for peoplewith dementia, their care-givers and the general pub-lic.

The tele-workshop starts at7 p.m.

Organizeyour familyfor a summer trip

Summer’s nearlyhere and it’s timeto get out andexplore. Withschool wrapping

up and warm-er weatherbeginning,Canadiansare planningvacations,road trips,long weekendgetawaysand familyreunions. Infact, a recentsurvey con-ducted byAmericanExpressCanada found that 69 percent of us will be taking atrip this summer.

Planning is an essentialpart of taking any type ofvacation as it relieves stressand provides peace of mind,allowing you to enjoy yourtrip.

Here is a check-list fororganizing a stress-free get-away, courtesy of TamaraMcPherson, founder of thepopular blog WonderMoms:

Make a packing listfor everyone, includingyourself

If you’re part of the 29 percent of Canadians travelling

with immedi-ate familythis summer,organizingfor more thanyourself is amust. Keepingyour signifi-cant otherand childrenorganized isone of theeasiest waysto avoid anyvacation mis-haps.

Research yourd e s t i n a t i o nbefore you go

Many people don’t doenough research beforethey visit a new destination.Checkout blog posts, articlesor even forums to see whathidden gems, great land-marks or events exist at yourdestination, so you don’t missout on anything. You can alsoreach out to people on your

social channels and see whatthey recommend.

Purchase travel insur-ance

A stress-free vacationbegins well before the trip,and purchasing travel insur-ance is peace of mind. Whentravelling out-of-province orout-of-country, health carecan be costly and your planmay not cover all mishaps oremergency medical expenses.Look into your coverage andmake sure to get the planthat’s right for you.

Bring additional enter-tainment for long trips

Whether you’re travel-ling by plane, train or car,long trips can be tiresome.Bringing some entertain-ment for longer trips canhelp keep everyone excitedfor the vacation that liesahead. Throw in some extracrossword puzzles, books orhand-held electronic devicesto keep everyone happy.

Conquer your children’s toy clutterToo much household

clutter is not only unsightlybut also can contribute toa stressful environment.Children’s toys are often keycontributors to homes over-run with clutter, but with agrowing number of familyand birthday and holidaygifts streaming in, it can bechallenging for parents totame toy-related clutter.

Parents who have hostedplay dates know that oncethe fun ends their youngsters’rooms often appear overrunwith toys. Kids have a funnyknack of taking out every toythey own without puttingtheir toys away. But with afew tips, anyone can conquerthe clutter created by toys.

Take stock ofwhat you have

Taking inventory helps todetermine which toys canultimately be donated or dis-carded. Look for duplicates,similar items, broken toys,and items that are seldomused.

Start to organizeWhen you have everything

laid out in clear view, start todivide and conquer. Creategroups in which to sort thetoys. Dolls should be inone pile, building blocks inanother and so on. Figure outa system that works for yourfamily. You may find thatactive, sports-related itemscan be moved to the garage,while board games and booksmay be moved to a familyroom or a community closetin the house to free up morespace in playrooms. Seasonaltoys can be stored away in anattic or basement until theyare needed.

Create accessiblestorage

Toys should be storedwhere kids can easily accessthem. Clear bins are greatfor storage, and such binscome in a variety of sizes.Construct cubbies in the play-room where these bins can bekept. Be sure they are nearlyat ground level and not tooheavy so that children caneasily get to their toys comeplay time.

Construct or buya toy chest

A toy chest can house largertoys and act as a receptaclefor fast cleanup when kids

need to tidy up before com-pany arrives. Such chests aregood for storing larger carsand trucks or the hordes ofstuffed animals kids accumu-late.

Shelving getsthings off thefloor

Display collectibles thatcannot be damaged on

shelves. This makes sure theyare still on display but not injeopardy of being mishandledby curious youngsters.

Donate toys kidsno longer use

It can be a tough job, butchildren should work withyou to thin out their toy col-lections. Designate a certain

portion of items that need togo. Bring them to a consign-ment shop or donate them tokids in need.

Organizing youngsters’toy collections can be a dif-ficult job, but such organiza-tion is essential to keep a tidyhome.

REGISTERING FOR JULY/SEPT. 2014

In many ways, today’s kids have busier schedules thanany previous generation of youngsters. Many extracurricularactivities, including sports, require a nearly year-roundcommitment, and the dual-income household has landed many

kids in afterschool programs where kids tend to their schoolworkor engage in various activities that keep them from resting ontheir laurels.

But those busy schedules get a lot less hectic when theschool year ends. Once school is out, kids used to a full schedulemight find themselves with lots of time on their hands. Thoughit’s good for kids to squeeze in some rest and relaxation duringtheir summer break, it’s also important for kids to stay activeso they don’t develop poor habits as the summer goes on. Inaddition, the American Psychological Association notes thatkids who are physically active are more capable of coping withstress and tend to have higher self-esteem than kids who donot include physical activity as part of their regular routines. Thefollowing are a few suggestions for parents looking for ways tokeep their kids active throughout the summer while still allowingthem to recharge their batteries after a long school year.• Plan an active vacation. Summer is when many families go onvacation, so why not choose a vacation that involves more thannapping poolside? Though it’s still good to leave some time forrelaxation, find a locale where you can embrace activities likesnorkeling, hiking, kayaking, or other adventures that get youand your youngsters off the poolside chaise and out exploring.Such a trip might inspire kids to embrace an activity more fully,getting them off the couch not only while they’re on vacationbut also when they return home for the rest of summer.

• Teach kids to garden. Gardening might be seen as a peaceful andrelaxing hobby, but it still requires a lot of elbow grease and hardwork that pays physical dividends.

Kids on the Go...A garden must be planted, hoed, weeded, and watered, andgardening gets kids out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors.When growing a vegetable garden, kids might embrace thechance to be directly involved in the foods that will eventuallyend up on their dinner tables. Parents can embrace this as anopportunity to teach the value of eating locally-produced foodsand the positive impact such behavior has on the environment.

• Go swimming. Few adults who work in offices haven’t lookedout their windows on a sunny summer day and thought hownice it would be to be spending that afternoon making a fewlaps in a lake, at the beach or in a pool. Kids have the samedaydreams during the summer, so take a day off every so oftenand take the kids for an afternoon of swimming. Swimmingis a great activity that exercises the entire body, includingthe shoulders, back, legs, hips, and abdominals. In addition,swimming helps kids and adults alike maintain a healthy weightwhile also improving their cardiovascular health. It’s hard forsome people to find a place to swim once the warm weatherdeparts, so take advantage of the summer weather and goswimming as often as possible while the kids are not in school.

• Limit how much time kids spend watching television, playingvideo games or surfing the Internet. Many of today’s kids are astech savvy as they are busy. But it’s important that kids don’tspend too much time online or on the couch watching televisionor playing video games. Such activities are largely sedentary,

and they can set a bad precedent for the months ahead, evenwhen the school year begins once again. Parents should limithow much time their youngsters spend in front of the televisionor the computer during summer vacation, keeping track andturning the TV or computer off if they suspect kids are spendingtoo much time staring at the screen instead of being active.Kids might not love it when you turn their video games off orminimize their access to social media, but explain the limitationsat the onset of summer and let kids know you expect them to bephysically active even if it is summer vacation.

The School Year Ends

Camphelps children grow

In October 2011, TroyGlover and his researchteam at the Universityof Waterloo releaseda five-year study, The

Canadian Summer CampResearch Project (CSCRP).It explored the outcomesof summer camp participa-tion and concluded that“participation in provinciallyaccredited camps promotes

positive change in five keyareas of development: socialintegration and citizenship,environmental awareness,attitudes towards physicalactivity, emotional intel-ligence and self-confidenceand personal development.”

Camp increases socialconnections. Camp friendsbecome friends for life.Young people befriend others

who sometimes are individ-uals perceived as differentfrom themselves. They learnto resolve conflicts in a posi-tive manner. Campers havea sense of belonging anddevelop a sense of pride intheir camp.

Camp exposes children tothe natural world. Currentresearch shows that timespent in a natural environ-ment is as essential to a child’sphysical, mental, emotionaland spiritual development aseating and sleeping. Camperslearn to respect and appreci-ate the world around them.

They learn how to protectthe environment and developenvironmentally friendly atti-tudes.

Camp allows children tolive simply. Simple routinesin a camp environment allowchildren to both anticipateand enjoy the camp day.When life is stripped of cell-phones, television and com-puter-based social network-ing, children can discovercore values upon which suc-cessful lives are based.

Camp provides a safe,secure, supportive and

Camps benefit kidshealthy environment. Afterparticipating in a full day ofactivity, often out of doors,and enjoying regular, nutri-tious meals, campers areready for a good night’s sleep,whether in their camp cabinor tent or at home after abusy camp day. The CSCRPreported that “61 per centof campers showed improvedattitudes towards physicalactivity by the end of theircamp session.”

Camp builds character andself-esteem. Emulating theexample of camp leaders,children become co-opera-tive, caring and consideratemembers of the camp com-munity. As they enjoy novelexperiences, acquire newskills and cope independ-ently away from home, theybecome more capable andconfident. Returning camp-ers develop leadership skills.

Sixty-nine per cent of theparticipants in the CSCRPexperienced positive develop-ment in the area of emotionalintelligence, i.e. the abilityto recognize and deal withone’s own emotions and theemotions of others at an age-

appropriate level.Camp teaches skills. The

“harder” skills, like sailing,canoeing and soccer, becomeleisure pursuits for a lifetimewhile the “softer” skills, likesharing, consideration, con-flict resolution and self-con-fidence, are both transferableand lifelong.

Camp is a place to experi-ence fun, laughter, wonderand joy. Camp provides a timeof relief and rest from thepressures, demands, sched-ules and stress, which toooften are a reality of youngpeople’s daily lives. Laughterand fun are as important tohealth and wellness as medi-cine or treatment.

Camp parents recognizethe benefits that camp pro-vides. Here are some of theirtestimonials:

— “I marvelled as to howtwo weeks could make sucha difference in a young life— but it really did. I think thecombination of developingskills and friendships in a set-ting away from home buildstremendous confidence.”

— “Camp has been animportant part of our daugh-ter’s growing up. She hasgained a great deal from the

activities and the companion-ship and leadership of thecounsellors.”

— “Both our children arefar better people for theircamp experience and bothhave learned valuable skills,which will benefit themthroughout life.”

— “Chris returned homea little more independent,proud of his accomplishmentsand full of fun memories,which will last forever.”

— “My daughters went tocamp in July and came homewith such a positive outlookon life. They enjoyed it tre-mendously and learned howto overcome fears and trynew tasks.”

— “Camp was the bestexperience of my son’s life. Itgave him more confidence …he felt like he was part of thisbig family. Since my son wentto camp, he has a lot moreconfidence in himself andhe is more helpful. He hasstepped up as a role model tohis younger siblings and alsohis cousins.”

PlayingtohisstrengthshadearnedRobert Watson Canadian artisticgymnastics medals over the pasttwo years — but it was raising hisgame on all apparatus that earnedhim the senior men’s all-around titlelast weekend in Ottawa.

Watson, of Port Coquitlam, cap-tured the men’s championship bybeing steadier and stronger in hisusual tougher events — with hisonly individual medal coming inthe parallel bars, where he securedbronze.

“My strongest event was parallel[bars],” said Watson, 20. “Parallel isone of my better routines, and I def-initely felt like I had a good day.”

He finished fourth on both floorand high bars, but made his biggeststep by scoring the 11th best scoreon pommel horse.

“I was pleased with my rou-tine — it wasn’t the cleanest butI know I had a good routine,” hesaid. “Pommel is usually one of myweaker events and sometimes I fall,which I totally wanted to avoid. Theway the points were, I knew if I didhit it I could potentially win. When Ifinished I felt good.”

He also placed 10th on rings and15th on vault, ending with a finalpoint total of 82,100 — 500 morethan his nearest rival.

The previous two senior men’schampionships saw Watson earn apodium spot — second in 2013 andthird in 2012.

On the final day of competition,he qualified for four of six finals,placing fourth on both floor andhigh bars, fifth on parallel bars andsixth on rings.

Knowing that the elusive all-around title was within reach didn’tmake him more nervous, but headmitted feeling some pressure.

“A lot of things have to cometogether for a good day, and whenit’s not a good day usually I feelshaky and nervous. You don’t feellike things are clicking,” Watsonnoted. “I wasn’t nervous, but I justwanted to make them as clean aspossible.”

With his 2010 CommonwealthGames flip-flops along for good luck,Watson cleared a hurdle against acrowded 43-athlete field.

The end result should see theTwisters Gym Club member receivesome of the more high profile inter-national meet assignments over thenext 10 months.

“It’s really important, and hope-fully it puts me more in the eyes ofthe national coaches when it comesto international competitions,” hesaid. “I love getting the chance torepresent my country and I’d loveto go to the [2014] Commonwealth

Games in Scotland (July 23 to Aug.3).”

The past two years has seen himcompete for Canada at the ToyotaCup in Japan, DTB in Germany, and

Hungarian Grand Prix.His focus for now will be on pre-

paring for national training campsin three weeks.

“I get back in the gym and keep

working,” said Watson. “I’ll be train-ing every day but Sunday.”

VICTORIA POWERS PAST ADANACSThe Coquitlam senior Adanacs went a perfect three-for-

three with the man advantage, but the one shorthanded goalthey surrendered proved costly in a 7-6 loss to Victoria lastFriday.

The Adanacs spent much of the game playing catch-up, asthe host Shamrocks led 4-2 and 6-3 before a big charge overthe final 20 minutes. Victoria’s Tyler Hass netted a shortmanmarker in the first, and Ben McCullough would tally the win-ner off a penalty shot midway through the third.

Brett Hickey notched a goal and two assists in the loss. Alsoscoring were Kyle Dobbie, Tyler Garrison, Jaedon Gastaldo,Brandon Goodwin and Ryan Keith.

PERREAULT TO LEAD NLL STEALTHTheVancouverStealthannouncedTuesdaythatDanPerreault

is the National Lacrosse League club’s new head coach.A Coquitlam resident, Perreault had served the past two

years as an assistant to head coach Chris Hall, who is retiringdue to health issues.

“I’m honoured to have the confidence of (Stealth owner)Denise Watkins, (general manager) Doug Locker and Chris,”Perreault said in news release. “Chris’ retirement leaves bigholes to fill, but the Stealth have a winning tradition and I lookforward to infusing my style into the team and fulfilling thattradition in the seasons ahead.”

Perreault also coaches the New West junior Salmonbellies.

GLENEAGLE STANDS TALL AT BCSRanked 16th to start the tournament, the Gleneagle Warriors

senior boys rugby team did what all good underdogs do — theyplayed with passion at last week’s B.C. AAA championships.

Although they finished with a 1-3 record and 14th overall,the squad were true to their nickname.

Opening against the defending B.C. champions fromShawnigan Lake, Gleneagle held up fairly well in a 34-0 loss.They came back and put up a valiant battle against Kelownabefore falling 24-14.

With two losses to their name, the Warriors buckled downand continued the march, this time upsetting South Kamloopos24-12, with tries from Kaell Hutchinson, Kalam Harley andtwo by Mitch Howey. Aarman Bondar would add a convert.

In their final test, Gleneagle scored first — off Hutchinson’sthird try of the tourney — before falling to Semiahmoo 24-12.

Nathan Wadhwani set thepace twice on the weekend.

It led the Terry Fox Ravensdistance runner to a pair offirst-place finishes at the B.C.High School Track and Fieldchampionships in Langley.

Wadhwani topped the1,500-metre run on Friday,then added the 3,000m titleto make it a pair.

The Grade 12 runner, whoalso scooped up the highschool cross country title inNovember, won the 3000mevent in 8:38.75, five min-utes faster than John Gay ofOkanagan-Mission. His mar-gin of victory in the 1500mwas noticeably closer, as heposted a 3:56.14 finish, just1.34 seconds ahead of ReidMuller of Pitt Meadows.

Also bringing home the goldwere Dr. Charles Best’s AddyTownsend, who topped thesenior girls 800m race with atime of 2:10.65, ArchbishopCarney’s Brittni Wolczyk inthe javelin, and Gleneagle’sEric Chatten in the senior boyshigh jump.

Chatten cleared two metresin his winning jump, edgingArgyle’s James Elson’s simi-lar leap. Coming in third wasAdam Chatten, with a bronze-winning clear of 1.95m.

In her third provincial jav-elin contest, Wolczyk man-aged to equal her personal

best on the last throw of theday, nosing out Riverside’sTeagan Rasche for gold.

“At that point it was reallynerve-racking,” said Wolczyk,16. “There was a lot of pres-sure on me, I was the lastthrower and I was sitting sec-ond.”

Her previous throws wereof the 42-metre variety, andthis one didn’t feel much dif-ferent leaving her hand. ButWolczyk celebrated once shesaw the extended tape.

“I knew (45m) wasn’t outof my reach because I hit it at

the Valleys,” she said. “I didn’teven need to hear them callthe number, because once Isaw the distance tape it waslike ‘I did it!’”

This time, she bested herLangley track club teammateRasche’s throw of 44.97 by aslim margin.

Rasche, also in Grade 11,would pick up her second sil-ver of the meet in the seniorgirls hammerthrow, hurling adistance of 53.09m. In thirdspot was Dr. Charles Best’sChanell Botsis, who posted adistance of 51.51m.
