A nine-year-old Anmore boy recently set thewheels in motion to ship used bikes to Africa, andthe momentum continues to build for his pedal-powered project.

It all started at the breakfast table last Septemberwhen a photo in the Vancouver Sun caught theattention of Aleks Polanski. The black-and-whiteimage showed a Congolese boy on a makeshift scoot-er built out of wooden planks and wooden wheels.This homemade two-wheeler was a shocking sightcompared to the shiny new bikes enjoyed by Aleksand his eight-year-old brother, Mitchel.

“You see how lucky you boys are?” asked theirdad. When Aleks started thinking about how fortun-ate his family is, he wanted to find a way to help.

“So I said because we just got some new bikes,maybe we could donate our old bikes to Africa,” he

said. “I guess I had lots of bikes I didn’t need.”Aleks cut out the picture and showed it to his

Grade 3 teacher, who geared up students and staffat Anmore Elementary to help with the project.Meanwhile, his dad connected with the local RotaryWorld Help Network, which ships educational,humanitarian and medical items around the worldto countries in need. Over the months that followed,friends and neighbours began to drop off their usedbikes, ranging from tricycles to full-size cycles. Withhelp from their dad, Aleks and Mitchel fixed flat tiresand broken pedals, repairing the donations to be asgood as new. The project also expanded to includeused books, toys and sporting equipment.

By the end of the school year, Aleks had collected17 bikes and more than 1,000 books, plus piles oftoys, sports gear and soccer uniforms.

The Rotary World Help Network sent a truck tocollect the contributions, which were added to ashipment destined for Uganda. The charitable organ-ization covered the costs to send the supplies via

cargo float to Africa.Since then, donations have continued to come

in. Aleks now has five more bikes and two scootersto send, along with books, bike helmets and othersports supplies.

“I’ll probably continue with the project for awhile,” said Aleks, adding that recycling the cyclesalso has a positive environmental effect.

“Who wants to throw some kind of bikes andbooks in the garbage? It makes a bigger landfill.”

His mom said the project opened her family’s eyesto the effects of living in a throw-away society.

“This is an area where we tend to keep up withthe Joneses a little bit and get rid of stuff quickly.… There’s been a good response. People are gener-ous and thoughtful that way,” said mom MichelleGoodwin. “There’s always need for other countries.It only takes a visit to see how fortunate we are. Youreally find out in a hurry how lucky we are.”

Wingrove was the city’sgeneral manager of corpor-ate services, a position thatsaw him head up a numberof different city departments— bylaws, financial and legal— as well as working along-side the RCMP and CoquitlamFire and Rescue.

Get back in the game. Say goodbye to pain.After a few hours of tennis I would develop a limp and the knee pain was interfering with my game & sleep. I had an MRI andX-Rays and was diagnosed with serious arthritis in both knees. The other Doctors recommended physio therapy and expensiveremedies that were injected into both knees. There was only minor improvement noticed. After seeing an ad in our local paperI decided to give Laser Light Therapy a chance. I’ve had about six half hourtreatments for each knee and I can’t believe the results. Now after tennis I feel almostno knee pain or stiffness and can sleep without pain. Laser Light Therapy

and Glenayre are unique places … I think if Iwanted unmitigated water view, I would buywaterfront property,” she said.

Meanwhile, Coun. Bob Elliott said he’s tiredof making decisions for neighbours who can’tget along.

“I’ve lived in Glenayre for 33 years and I’venever had a view, so I don’t know what theviews are like on the other side. But sayingthat, I found that Glenayre is a special area.But what is a special area? … It’s in the eyeof the beholder,” Elliott said. “So to actuallyverify that Barber (Lane) is a special area andit’s going to get special attention — and nevermind Moody Centre and never mind Glenayre— it’s wrong. I wouldn’t be supporting any-thing like that.”

However, Coun. Gerry Nuttall said BarberLane residents face problems that need to besolved.

“Past mistakes have been made. I have heardcomments that other people have lost theirview too. These views are valuable now. They’renot only valuable in terms of financial —people have paid good money to live up there— but also for their lifestyle,” said Nuttall, whohas lived in the area for 35 years.

“And if the development can accommodatehaving the other houses on it while still pro-viding the views for the residents, I think theyshould. Past mistakes shouldn’t guide futureplanning.”

A public consultation in late 2010 will allowPort Moody residents to provide feedback ondraft zoning bylaws, including any proposedchanges to the Barber Lane area.

‘What is a special area?’

Some cities allow coach housescosts for taxes and maintenance.

“This rent may be achievable in many partsof Vancouver, but it is above the rents of mostapartments and townhouses and even somesingle family homes in Port Moody,” the reportnotes. However, economics are not always themain driver in the decision to build a lanewayhome, the report states.

“An example would be parents living in thesingle family home wanting to build a lanewayhouse on the property for an adult child or,conversely, an aging parent wanting to live inclose proximity to one of their children,” readsthe report.

Meanwhile in Coquitlam, city staff are pre-paring a zoning amendment bylaw to allowcoach houses in the small village single-family

residential zone. Staff recommend removingsecondary suites as a permitted use in thiszone and adding coach houses instead.

These coach homes would be secondarydwellings that are separate from and accessoryto single-family dwellings on a property. Theyare typically located in the backyard next to alane and attached to a garage. A coach homeis similar to a secondary suite, but the maindifference is that it is detached from the mainhome.

Staff will consult with contractors, buildersand industry representatives. Coach houses arecurrently allowed in certain zones in Surreyand North Vancouver. Vancouver allows lane-way homes in single-family areas, while MapleRidge residents have an option for detachedgarden suites in urban, suburban and ruralresidential neighbourhoods.

Outside of his professional life, Wingrovewas a standout on the lacrosse floor and playedall of his minor, junior and senior lacrosse inan Adanac uniform.

In both 1987 and 1988, Wingrove was select-ed as the league’s most sportsmanlike player,on top of being named to the junior loop’s firstall-star team. In 1988, he took home the AlBoles Memorial Trophy as the league’s mostinspirational player.

His senior lacrosse career spanned from1989 to 1994, during which time he rackedup enough points to sit 35th on the team’sall-time points list (132 goals, 150 assists, 282points).

“I played against him when I was withthe [Victoria] Shamrocks and he was withthe Adanacs — he was a good player, hecould run,” said senior Adanacs coach NeilDoddridge. “He played the game the right way.It’s really a tragic loss for his family, the com-munity.”

Santarossa said plans for a memorial serviceare underway, though no firm date had beenset as of Tuesday.

This year’s bad timing award has to go toEnbridge Inc., the latest oil company tobecome enmeshed in a public relations night-

mare caused by a leak in one of its pipelines.I wrote in this space a couple of months back that

Enbridge’s bid for approval of its northern Gatewaypipeline from Alberta to Kitimat would be a hardsell, from both political and environmental perspec-tives.

That hard sell has now become near impossible, aspublic outrage over the BP oil spill in theGulf of Mexico and now Enbridge’s ownspill in Michigan may be sounding thedeath knell of Enbridge’s plans.

While its Gateway pipeline will still gothrough a federal environmental process,it’s almost impossible to believe theHarper government will give the finalgo-ahead. While there is some local sup-port for the project, based on its job cre-ation potential, the opposition is moreorganized and vocal.

First Nations firmly oppose the pipe-line, and the Michigan spill will heighten concernsabout the same thing happening in this province.Enbridge has been criticized for its inadequateresponse to the spill of 3.1 million litres of oil intothe Kalamazoo River, creating a 50-kilometre slickthat threatens to drift into Lake Michigan.

As well, it has been accused of ignoring concernsthat its pipeline had seriously deteriorated. Notexactly the kind of publicity Enbridge needs as itpushes to build another such pipeline here.

The spill in Michigan took place in a populated

area that is relatively easy to get to for cleanup. Butthe proposed northern pipeline runs through remotepristine wilderness where access is anything buteasy, thus presenting a nightmarish scenario of asimilar leak occurring in a place where a clean-upresponse may almost be impossible.

But before all the anti-Gateway folks get tooexcited, remember this: Alberta’s dirty tar sands oilwill still be shipped to Asia (notably China) and thatmeans potentially even more oil being loaded and

shipped out of Vancouver.That could translate into even more

tanker traffic through Burrard Inlet andthe Juan de Fuca Strait. Tankers havebeen plying those waters for decades,and traffic is already up significantly inthe past few years.

For now, the tankers have carried oilfrom the Kinder Morgan pipeline thatextends from Alberta to Burnaby. One ofthe trickiest parts of the ocean voyageoccurs early on: navigating through theSecond Narrows in Burrard Inlet, which

is just 121 metres wide and not very deep.The BP oil spill understandably has everyone con-

cerned about oil drilling and has revived awful mem-ories of the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska. Manypeople have called for a ban on tanker traffic, period.

But those who want to kill all the pipelines andbeach all the oil tankers are ignoring an essentialpart of the picture: we depend on oil for our state ofliving. To think otherwise is to ignore reality.

That’s not to say we shouldn’t try to wean our-selves off of oil dependence, but that will take many,

many years and require a huge shift in our socialbehaviour. There is a hypocritical streak embeddedin many of the moral arguments against oil usage.(For example, how many people who attend anti-oilprotests take diesel-burning transit or gas-fueledcars to get there?)

The Alberta oil sands are an enormous financialinvestment for the companies involved up there.They are not going to walk away because a pipelinedoesn’t get built to Kitimat.

Rather, the dirty oil will find a way out of theprovince — and that still means cutting throughB.C. — either through the existing pipeline or,more likely, via tanker rail cars, and likely into theBurnaby refinery.

And that will mean more tankers cruising pastVancouver, the supposedly green capital of Canada.Kitimat’s loss is not necessarily Vancouver’s gain.

Oil spills do happen. Let’s just hope and pray onedoesn’t occur if a tanker runs aground or collideswith something in Burrard Inlet or out in the waterssurrounding the Gulf Islands.

If it does, we’ll have a tough time continuing tobrag about being the “best place on Earth.” Oil-soaked beaches along Stanley Park aren’t exactly thekind of image that goes with that claim.

Kitimat’s loss may not be Vancouver’s gain

Re: “Calming on Gatensbury would cost $1 mil-lion,” Friday, July 30.

Thank you for reporting the attention Port Moodyis giving to the chronic traffic calming problems ofGatensbury Road.

It is encouraging to note thatCoquitlam’s neighbours want to takeaction on our shared street to slow thehigh volume of cars travelling “at almosthighway speeds.”

It is disturbing to learn that our citycouncillors share the attitude that weshould not complain — we chose to livenear Gatensbury.

What’s the big deal, they say, the same problemshave existed on Gatensbury Street for the past 30

years and no one has been killed yet.The solution is not more signage.Our current 30 km/h signs do nothing for those

intending to speed through.Our playground and park signs again have no

impact on the speeders.I suspect our recent addition of

bicycle outlines on the pavement hasnot added more bicyclists or safer condi-tions.

Speed abusers on this road needdeterrents like stop signs, raised pave-ment and traffic circles. Anything less

will not make the area safer.Ron ZappCoquitlam

How could more than 50 people come tothe same conclusion: that staying in thepath of a wildfire is the way to go, as

opposed to heeding an evacuation order andgetting out ASAP? That’s the question a lot ofpeople are asking this week, following reportsthat at least 53 people in B.C.’s Cariboo regionare refusing to leave — despite the fact thattwo fires are burning in the area.

Without asking each one of those 53people, we can’t know why they’ve decidedto stay. It’s possible a few of them are of thesame mindset as Harry Truman, who was neverseen again after refusing to leave his home onMount St. Helens. Nobody takes on a volcanoand wins. Maybe a wildfire seems less threat-ening, but anyone who remembers the devas-tation Kelowna suffered in 2003 should realizeit’s not. For more recent examples, there’salways California and Australia.

So what is it that compels people to ignorethe pleas of police and other officials, andpossibly, their own friends and family?

Maybe it’s fear of looting, or simply fear ofleaving all of their “stuff” behind. Maybe it’sa problem with authority, or with being toldwhat to do. Or maybe people who stay behindsimply think they’re invincible, that it won’thappen to them.

Maybe they’re right. But if they’re not,there’ll be no one there to rescue them, sinceemergency workers won’t be willing to risktheir own lives to get fools like that to safety.

Either way, this kind of behaviour is selfishin the extreme. It makes the work of emer-gency personnel that much more difficult, andit likely makes the friends and family of thosewho refuse to leave sick with worry.

So how could more than 50 people decideto stay? If the fire doesn’t get them, maybethey can answer that question, because we’dreally like to know.

PoCo council’s comparisonsto private sector pay

don’t add up in real worldRe: “PoCo council approves pay hikes,”

Wednesday, July 28.I wonder if the mayor and council have ever

asked themselves the question as to why mostpoliticians have such short careers? Could ithave something to do with, “Do as I say andnot as we do or see fit?”

Perhaps it’s the mumbo-jumbo comparisonsabout what others are paid in far-off distantlocales or making a comparison to private sec-tor pay being higher than what the mayor orcouncil members make for so-called similarwork.

If they really wanted to honestly comparewhat happened in the private sector, the payraise would, first of all, be examined againstthe question of whether or not the employeeactually did anything that had a direct influ-ence on the profitability or well-being of theorganization — and not simply be to catch up.

The employee would also not be the onedeciding the raise while the boss, the taxpayer,paid for it.

In addition to this, the raise would be heldunder the light of how this might affect thebusiness in a competitive environment —which the running of a city with the taxpayerpaying the bill whenever demanded doesn’tquite qualify.

The new employee just starting or gettingvoted in would also not start the job knowingalmost nothing at the very top of the pay scale.

The employee would also not be deciding onan astronomical increase based on their owneconomic research findings, especially if theconclusions were in direct opposition to thesmartest financial minds in the world, whostill say the economy is on shaky grounds and

could go over the edge at any moment.And last, if they really wanted to operate like

the private sector, they would consolidate allthe Tri-Cities municipal political operationsand fire or let go of the two-thirds of mayorsand council members who would be redundantand no longer needed.

This might be justification for awardingthemselves and council crew such a hefty wagefor their often short career. The other pos-sibility of this self-serving thinking that short-circuits political careers might be the fact thatpoliticians think that if they give themselvesa really big raise and then don’t do this for awhile, things will blow over andsettle down because the voters havepoor memories or will forget beforeit comes time to ask for anotherblank cheque to spend as they seefit regardless of what they promise,do or say.

Here’s another news flash: whenyou hit people in the pocketbook, even if it’sonly nickels and dimes as you try to justifywith the reference to the small increase foreach taxpayer, the person paying doesn’t for-get.

Good luck on your ride into the sunsetbecause you will most likely need the retrain-ing allowance you so wisely voted yourself.

Playground in Mundy Parkwould take space away

from wildlifeRe: “Playground planned for Mundy Park,”

Wednesday, July 28.When I was driving my car to work one

recent morning, a bear ran out in front of mycar on Como Lake Avenue.

Luckily, there was not too much traffic andthe bear made it safely to the other side of theroad.

This got me thinking about the new five-acre adventure playground that the city coun-cil wants to put in Mundy Park.

The wildlife in the area has so little spacenow, and they want to take even more away.They say that the structures that need to bebuilt do not harm or obstruct natural areas.How can that possibly be?

I wonder where they plan for the people thatmay come to park. The parking spots and road-ways are already filled to capacity when they

have swim meets and soccer tour-naments going on. Are they plan-ning on bulldozing down parklandto do this?

Also, with all the extra taxes andfees that are being paid out now,do they really think that peoplecan afford the almost $40 fee that

adult admission would cost?A 30-person staff works at a similar facility

that just opened in Maple Ridge. Shouldn’twe wait a while to see how that does, and dowe need another facility the same so close inproximity?

I believe that this should be voted on by theresidents of Coquitlam and not just somethingthat is sprung upon us.

Port Moody parking woesbolster case for SkyTrain

station further westRe: “Lack of parking upsets merchants,”

Wednesday, July 28.I completely sympathize with the story

about Sohaila Hesabi, with respect to parking

problems in the St. Johns and Queens streetsarea.

Parking is indeed a disaster in the area;however, the parking difficulties that exist inthe area demonstrate more clearly than everthat the location for a western Evergreen LineSkyTrain station should be further to the westthan Queens Street.

On the one hand, the Queens Street areashows very little opportunity to develop newcommercial buildings with public parking,without harming the heritage precinct.

But further west of Elgin Street, there is sig-nificant redevelopment potential where publicparking connected with commercial employ-ment, retail and a SkyTrain station could easilybe included.

News

For Mike Farnworth, provincial justice criticand MLA for Port Coquitlam, the SupremeCourt’s decision not to grant convicted serialkiller Robert Pickton a second trial is goodnews.

“I’m pleased, like mostpeople, that the appeal has beendismissed and that the convic-tion will stand,” Farnworth toldThe NOW. “I think for manypeople it’s a relief it’s over.Hopefully it will allow many ofthe families to be able to haveclosure and move on.”

Farnworth stressed, however,that not proceeding with theremaining 20 counts againstPickton leaves questions unan-swered — and an inquiry intothe matter could lead to valu-able changes in the system.

“It was a long time fromwhen women started disappear-ing to the discoveries at thePickton farm,” he said. “I thinkthe families have a lot of questions aroundthe investigation: how it was done, what wasdone and what was not done. There’s still a lotof questions around that. I think an inquirywould go a long way to answering those ques-tions for the families and the public.

“But more importantly, it would look athow we can improve the system to ensure thatthose failures don’t ever happen again.

“Part of that is looking at how the systemworked and didn’t work, and if there’s lessons

to be drawn from that, then that’s what weshould be focusing on.”

The Supreme Court shut the door onPickton’s hope for an appeal last Friday, notingthe “cogent evidence” against him would haveled any jury to find him guilty of murder.

“Certainly this was a long and difficult trial— but it was also a fair one,” the ruling found.

“Despite the errors set outabove, there was no miscarri-age of justice occasioned by thetrial proceedings.

“Mr. Pickton was entitled tothe same measure of justice asany other person in the coun-try. He received it. He is notentitled to more.”

Pickton, who ran his family’sDominion Avenue farm in PortCoquitlam, was found guilty inDecember 2007 of six counts ofsecond-degree murder in thedeaths of Marnie Frey, SereenaAbotsway, Georgina Papin,Andrea Joesbury, Brenda Wolfeand Mona Wilson.

The trial lasted almost a yearand revealed some of the mostgruesome details ever heard in

a Canadian court.Pickton was originally charged with 27

counts of first-degree murder, but as courtproceedings began, the presiding judgequashed one count of first-degree murder andsevered 20 others, making way for a secondtrial on the remaining counts.

After Pickton was found guilty on those sixcounts, Justice James Williams sentenced himto life in jail and ineligibility for parole for atleast 25 years.

Farnworth pleased by rulingthat denies Pickton a new trial

Dear Curious Homeowner,

If you’re reading this, I know I’ve gotyour attention. Even if your heatingsystem has been plugging along do-ing its’ job ... in the back of your mindyou’re thinking sooner or later it willneed to be replaced. (And that canbe expensive.) You’re probably alsothinking the deal I just described maybe too good to be true ... BUT it’s toogood to ignore! Well it IS true ...

How in the world can I afford to sella !rst quality heating system and addcentral air conditioning for as littleas $27.86 per week -- payments lessthan some people spend on a weeks’worth of designer coffee? Here’s thesituation. This very special offer is theresult of some very good negotiatingon my part.

How I’m turning lemons into lemon-ade for both of us ...

Even with this economy, I really needto keep my technicians working, andI’ve decided to do just about anythingit takes to keep my phones ringing.That’s why I recently went to my topmanufacturers, and negotiated an ex-tremely good deal. So now I need toget these systems sold ... out of mywarehouse ... and installed. And I needto do it all quickly.

These are BRAND NEW models ...no seconds ... no “blems”, no ho-humbuilder-grade equipment. All theseunits we carry are !rst quality and havea 10 year warranty on all parts and la-bor. Ten years. That’s until 2020!!

With the way I’ve set up this program,homeowners like you will probably beable to buy a brand new system with-out taking a penny out of your pocket!I’ll get back to this in a minute.

I order to move these systems quickly...

I’ve negotiated a discount AND !-nancing programs that give you up to6 full months with no payments and

no interest. I call this my “FIRE ANDICE SALE OF THE YEAR”.

Don’t wait until next year, in factDON’T WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEKTO DO IT!! Call me right now at 604-946-1000.

Act now and you can own a NEWheating unit with air conditioningadded for NO money down as little as$27.86 a week.

I’ve saved the best for last!!

Now here’s the part where I explainhow you may be able to buy your newsystem without taking an extra pennyout of your pocket. If your heating unitis more than ten years old, and youreplace it with a more energy ef!cientsystem, the money you save on yourutility bills alone could be enough topay the monthly payment on your newsystem. Think about it. Replacing anoutdated system with a current moreenergy ef!cient and reliable systemcould more than pay for the new sys-tem.

Here’s another way of looking at it.With what you may save on your util-ity bills, it’s like getting the utilitycompany pay for your new heatingsystem, and getting air conditioning asthe icing on the cake!!

Who would pass up this deal? I sin-cerely hope you won’t! But if you stillneed convincing ... If quality, price andutility savings won’t convince you,read my guarantee ...

My $500 “No Frustration” Guarantee:

If your system breaks down during the!rst year and leaves you without heat-ing or cooling, we guarantee to repairyour system within 24 hours of thetime you call us or we give you $500for your inconvenience.

If nothing else, this guarantee shouldassure you the system you buy fromme really IS a !rst quality piece ofequipment. Unlike some contractors

who just install equipment and areunable to service you in the event youneed them, I know my installationsand my professional technicians whodo them are the best in the market.Otherwise, I couldn’t afford to makethis guarantee.

Pick up the phone and give me a call at604-946-1000 ...

Our Certi!ed Comfort Advisors willhelp you assess how much money youcould potentially save on energy costsalone. We’ll also determine the avail-ability of the proper size system andtell you about easy !nancing choices,discounts and rebates that may beavailable.

Call 604-946-1000 to make your free,no-obligation appointment for any-time...

8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday - Friday8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday

But, HURRY!! My “Fire and IceSale of the Year” must end July 31st,2010.”

Remember, there’s no obligation andeven if you change your mind once Imeasure your house and give you theestimate, I will give you a free gift cou-pon worth $50.00.

Right now I want to thank you foryour interest and encourage you to call604-946-1000 for your no obligationappointment.

we swam off two sandy beaches and ultimately bivouackedin Penticton. After another starry night and hearty oatmealbreakfast, the trail led us through town and a merry spin intoNaramata’s vineyards. Spectacular Okanagan Lake panoramasrewarded us after a relentless upward grind. En route, westopped to watch an indifferent black bear rummaging for ber-ries below KVR’s first tunnel. This cactus-lined trail eventuallyswitchbacked under an evergreen canopy. After lunching ata log table, we pedalled steadily onward when, miraculously,a trail host appeared to present us with cold bottles of water.Nearby we investigated turn-of-the-century stone ovens thatonce baked railroaders’ bread. Two hours later, our tentssprouted again like colourful mushrooms beside Chute Lake.

After Tuesday’s morning snack and pack, we were back ontrack to Myra Canyon. As we neared this renowned canyon,Kelowna shimmered in the distance. Charred tree skeletonsrecall 2003’s devastating fire, though birds now flit and chirpamong young evergreens lining the hard-packed trail.

Like us, many cyclists and walkers experience the engineer-ing marvel of this early railway spanning deep gullies atop 18towering trestles and passing through huge tunnels. After thiswondrous 11-kilometre pedal, we paused at a park kiosk tostudy photos of the fire and the trestle restoration, then whirledonward to a forest campsite at Hydraulic Lake.

Wednesday presented a woodsy descent to Arlington Lake.Long-needled pines soon replaced the dense forests of larch,hemlock and fir. In ranchlands, signs warned of toxic ToadFlax, tall yellow-blossomed plants flourishing among a newmix of wildflowers. Swooshing into Kettle Valley, we crossedits river and rode onto a highway entering historic Beaverdaleand a grassy town campsite. Our efforts were rewarded at theTamarack Restaurant, where we dined on roast beef.

Thursday offered good times, starting with Bull CreekCanyon, which boasted an idyllic white sand beach. At Rhone, aformer KVR whistle stop, we revisited the Trans-Canada bicyclepavilion next to a red caboose. Nine years earlier we’d met host

Like other fundraisers, this year’s Tri-City Kidney Walkincludes entertainment and incentives.

But organizers don’t just want your pledges; they want yourkidneys, too. Don’t worry, though — they’re looking for peopleto sign up as organ donors, not make on-the-spot donations.

Registration starts at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 22, and the walkstarts at 10 a.m. at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam.

All proceeds will benefit the Kidney Foundation of Canada.Coffee and cake will be available, and prize draws will be held.The Felions, the cheerleading team for the BC Lions, will be

on hand to provide entertainment and encouragement.Participants will be able to take part in either a 2.5- or a five-

kilometre walk around Lafarge Lake, and to register to becomeorgan donors.

A minimum of $50 in pledges is enough to earn walkers anofficial event T-shirt, but organizers say the average walkerraises more than $200.

In B.C., 39 kidney transplants were completed as of March 23,2010. According to BC Transplant, as of that date 244 patientswere still waiting for a life-saving kidney.

One in every 30 B.C. residents has kidney disease, accordingto the Kidney Foundation of Canada, which is incurable.

Funds raised from the walk will allow the foundation tosupport “stimulating innovative research,” provide educationand support, promote access to high-quality health care andincrease public awareness about kidney health and organ dona-tion.

For more information on the walk or the Kidney Foundationof Canada, call Judith Thompson at 604-307-0593 or visit www.kidney.ca/bcwalk.

Wine

Many people ask me if I like red or whitewine better.

The fact is, I really don’t have a pref-erence for either red or white, as long as theyare interesting and enjoyable to taste.

I have always been a bit skeptical aboutdrinking only whites in the summer, but Ilearned a practical lesson last week.

I poured a glass of Spanish red at a birthdayparty, and after the first sip I was satisfiedwith my selection. Out to the patio I went andmingled with the other guests.

However, after about 15 minutes my winetasted horrible.

When red wine is heated well beyond 18 C,the wine loses its balance. The fruitiness of thewine disappears and the alcohol and tanninlevels are accentuated, which results in thewine burning in your mouth.

I went back to the kitchen and poured a

crisp, citrusy Pinot Grigio — a much betterexperience. Fifteen minutes later the whitewine warmed up a bit, but it still held its fruitycharacter. I’ll never think of drinking a redagain on a hot day.

Then I began to think of allthe whites I’ve enjoyed lately andthought I would share a few sug-gestions on the wines you’ll defin-itely enjoy this summer.

An unusual selection fromSpain is the Trio 2009, a blend ofChardonnay and two other Spanishvarietals. The tropical and citrus-driven character is accentuated bya floral lemon flavour. It is dry anda bit tart, but it did have a long fin-ish: An impressive wine for around $14.

A stellar selection from Portugal is theDouro Vinho Branco, dou Rosa 2009. It dis-

plays an interesting nose of sweet citrus andfloral attributes. It has a briny quality; you cansmell the ocean breeze in this wine. Perfectlybalanced, it cries out for fresh seafood dishes.

It is not surprising that the wine-maker was awarded winemaker ofthe year in Portugal.

Another winner is Beso deVino, Maceabo, 2009 hailing fromSpain. At under $15, this winepresents bruised apple and pear onthe nose and a wonderful lemon-rind bitter but creamy mouth feelon the finish.

Burrowing Owl from theOkanagan Valley has released aSauvignon Blanc under the name

of Calliope. A bargain for the quality, it hasgrapefruit, sweet herbal and lemon peel aro-mas. On the palate it shows a softer style with

medium acidity and lemon-lime flavours. It isa good introduction to Sauvignon Blanc for thebeginner wine drinker looking for new experi-ences.

Another North Okanagan producer, HainleEstate Winery has created a quality 2007Riesling that is a dead ringer for the bestKabinett-style Rieslings from Germany: Classicdiesel, apple, apricot and peach followed by aspot-on creamy, off-dry style. It is very impres-sive and ideal for sipping on the patio.

So try a few whites this summer and leavethe reds to the fall and winter. I’m sure yourtaste buds will approve.

Paul sporting a T-shirt announcing, “I’m 77 … young for atree!” On this day, his shirt declared, “I’m 86, deaf, blind andcranky!” Smiling, he showed us his blue heeler’s new trick.Placing a dog cookie on Spud’s forehead, Paul walked 20 metresand called, “Wait!” Forty metres further, he shouted, “Wait!” Ablock away, Paul yelled, “Eat, it Spud!” Spud flipped the cookieinto his mouth.

Opening and closing cattle gates, we spun through grassyranchlands and camped at Kettle River Park. Heading to itssandy riverside beach, most of us dove into the shallows androde the river’s current; meanwhile a brave trio jumped froma high trestle into the depths. An hour later it was raining, sowe dove into the tents. Seeing our plight, RV neighbours placedan awning over our table. With lightning flashing and thunderroaring, we supped “al-storm-o.”

Grazing deer saw us off on Friday on a route paralleling theKettle River and across arid ranchlands. As the trail ended, wecoasted along a road into Rock Creek. Stocking up on pastriesand java at a rustic café, we chugged upwards into Bridesvilleand ultimately passed the summit of Anarchist Mountain.

Breezily sailing downward, I sighted our final campground’sSwiss flag … and yodelled, “We’re here!”

On Saturday we found Highway 3 sloping pleasingly down-ward. Past a menagerie of bronze animals identifying streets ofthis highland’s view lots, our trip ended with an exhilarating10-kilometre plunge back into Osoyoos.

Celebrations began at another fruit stand, where we enjoyedjuicy plums, apricots and peaches. Packing up our bikes withboxes of fresh fruit, we headed homeward while reminiscingover our seven-day, 350-kilometre achievement.

I’m a B.C. boy – born and raised in Richmond. I began playing football while attending high school at Vancouver College andcontinued to develop my skills during my university career at Simon Fraser. I have been a fan of the Black and Orange all mylife and distinctly remember attending Lions games at BC Place in the 1980s. My brother Mark was briefly a Lion in 1990– so football genes definitely run in my family!After 10 seasons with the Lions, I still can’t believe that I get to come to work every day and play the game I love, and I’mmore determined than ever to bring the Grey Cup home to B.C. at least one more time during my career.As one of the longest-serving veterans on the team and the guy anchoring the offensive line in the centre position, I take a

leadership role in the locker room and am sometimes looked to for advice by the younger players. Our team — and the O-linein particular — is like a family to me and I’m proud of my contributions in the locker room and on the field.

As the second-youngest of six kids in my family, I looked up to my older siblings when I was growing up for inspiration andguidance. For that reason, I love taking part in the Lions’ community programs throughout the year, particularly the club’s Lionsin the House initiative. It makes me feel proud to know that I could have a positive influence on a young person who is at a veryimportant time in their life.As much as I love playing professional football, I believe it’s also important to give back to the community you grew up in and seta good example for the next generation.

It was the New WestminsterSalmonbellies time to turn thetables on the Coquitlam Adanacs inGame 2 of the B.C. Junior LacrosseLeague playoff finals.

In a similar fashion to theA’s overtime win in Game 1,New Westminster broke open atightly played Game 2 with fivegoals in the final period to defeatCoquitlam 9-5 at Queen’s ParkArena last Friday.

The win evened the best-of-seven championship final at onegame apiece.

Game 3 is scheduled for tonight(Wednesday) at the Poirier SportCentre. Game time is 8 p.m.

The junior A Salmonbelliesclawed their way back into thematch after falling behind 2-0 afterthe opening period.

Brandon Bertoia and RobertChurch gave the Adanacs the leadmidway through the first period,but New West responded with twoquick goals to start the middleframe. The two teams traded mark-ers and finished the second periodin a 4-4 stalemate.

Just as it was in Game 1, thehome team ramped it up in thefinal period and struck quickly.

Brandon Goodwin, Cody

Bremner and Keegan Bal talliedin a three-minute span early inthe period to give New West themomentum it needed.

Frank Scigliano made 31 stopsin the Salmonbellie net to recordthe win.

Jay Card and Goodwin wrappedup the ‘Bellies offence and made ita five-goal margin.

Church tallied his hat trick inthe final minute to cap the scoring.

“We didn’t want to go down twogames,” said Salmonbellies captainJarrett Toll after the game. “Weknow they are a great team, butjust knowing we can beat them is abig boost for the boys.”

So too, is knowing that it will

take a 100 per cent effort fromeveryone, added Card, a late seasonpickup from the Ontario league.

“Coquitlam is very well coachedand for us to be successful, wehave to give everything we’ve got.That was our mistake last game— letting up,” said Card, who ledthe junior ‘Bellies with two goalsand three helpers.

Mark Matthews recorded fourassists in a losing cause, while BenMcIntosh added the other goal.

The Adanacs were outshot 49-36,with New West pelting netminderBrodie MacDonald with 26 shots inthe second period alone.

Game 4 is slated for Friday inNew Westminster.

It’s a whole new season, but the CoquitlamAdanacs certainly would love nothing morethan to take a page from last year and copy it.

Entering tonight’s Western LacrosseAssociation playoff opener in Victoria, theAdanacs are aiming to repeat the trend set ayear ago when they upended the regular sea-son champion Shamrocks in five games.

Coquitlam and Victoria remain ardent rivalson the senior A circuit, with little love lostbetween the two organizations.

No one knows that more than Adanac benchboss Neil Doddridge, a veteran of many ofthose battles as a former Shamrock.

He’s anticipating a heated series, and ispriming his youthful lineup for a tremendousexperience.

“It’s fun playing in Victoria,” Doddridge said.“I told the guys, ‘Take it as a positive, it’s goingto be fun playing there. You’re the enemy, it’s20 guys against 3,000.’”

The first-year head coach agrees that beingthe underdog can be a good position, althoughCoquitlam appeared to have a greater moun-tain to climb a year ago when they took twogames in Victoria.

Although the Adanacs earned its playoffposition on the final day of the regular season— hammering the Burnaby Lakers 17-7 onFriday to finish third overall — the Shamrockswere only second overall this season, behindNew Westminster.

The difference between Coquitlam andVictoria isn’t much, Doddridge said.

“I like how we match up. I think we havejust as much firepower on offence and I believeour defensive group is stronger than theirs,and it’s a series,” he noted. “You can teachthings more in a series. There are guys ontheir team that have to be accountable forwhat they do.”

The Adanacs led the league with 204goals scored, topped by scoring champ DaneDobbie’s 51 goals and 49 assists. Secondamong all scorers was linemate Cory Conway,with 35 goals and 57 helpers.

It’s on defence where things get interest-ing. Victoria will have to slow down Dobbie,Conway and Daryl Veltman. It’s going to be abit of a grind, Dobbie said.

“It’s going to take a beating, especiallyagainst Victoria, (because) they’ve got a goodsolid defence,” Dobbie noted. “You have to getthrough the middle to score goals, so you’vegot to pay the price.”

Coquitlam surrendered the second-mostgoals, 197, over the 18-game schedule, butDoddridge said that was more a byproduct ofa new system and players growing into theirroles than any defensive shortcomings.

Douglas College softballplayer Laura MacMillan is in aleague of her own.

At 20 years of age,Coquitlam’s MacMillan is theyoungest person in Canadato hold Level 4 officiatingcertification from the SoftballCanada.

This week she’s in St. John,New Brunswick to officiateat the 2010 Canadian MidgetGirls Fastpitch champion-ships, which runs nowthrough Sunday.

“It’s exciting,” said thethird-year bachelor of phys-ical education and coachingstudent. “Softball is a socialsport and I’m looking forwardto meeting and working withnew people there and takingpart in such a high-level com-petition.”

The multisport MacMillan— she also competes insoccer, judo and wrestling— first donned the umpire’smask six years ago.

“I’ve played softball sinceI was nine and I decided tostart officiating the sports Ienjoy to make a little money,since my parents didn’t wantme to have a paper route,” sherecalls.

Like many amateur sportsofficials, the soft-spokenMacMillan has had her shareof run-ins with irate playersand coaches.

“It can get pretty intense,”she says. “I’ve never had tothrow anyone out of a game,but I’ve had to send grownmen back to their dugouts.”

MacMillan knows bring-ing her own level of intensity

is a big part of her job as anumpire.

“You need to be decisive,have a good knowledge of allthe rules, be confident and bereally loud,” she says.

“I love the adrenalin rushI get when making a call andgetting it right.”

In addition to her Maritimetrip, MacMillan is lookingforward to the new varsitysoftball season at DouglasCollege, where the team takesthe step up to varsity.

The Royals women’s softballsquad begins its inauguralseason in the North Divisionof the North West AthleticsAssociation of CommunityColleges (NWAAC) this fall,with MacMillan heading backbehind the plate, this time ascatcher.

TAG THE BAG: A Port Moody baserunner beats the throw to second during a recentbantam fastball game against New West. It’s the level of play that Coquitlam’s LauraMacMillan will be watching and calling this week in New Brunswick at the nationals.

A little Port Coquitlam content helped givethe Burnaby Barracudas a boost to sweep theSimon Fraser regional water polo champion-ships at the City Centre Aquatics Complex inCoquitlam Saturday.

Reuel and Shanan D’souza each cashedin clutch goals as their respective Barracudasquads won the u-12 and u-18 divisions.

In the u-12 division, Burnaby overwhelmedthe opposition in round-robin play before blank-ing Port Moody 17-0 in the final game.

Reuel D’souza led the scoring parade, firingfour goals in the championship game.

The Barracudas doubled Port Moody 9-4 inthe u-18 P4 division. Burnaby came back froma 3-1 half-time deficit to take the lead 5-4 onP3 callup Shanan D’souza’s fourth goal of thegame.

In the u-16 final, Burnaby blasted Coquitlam15-1, with Shanan contributing three goals.

The Barricudas also edged Coquitlam 7-6 inthe u-14 championship final.

PoCo siblings give Barracudas boost in polo

backend but we’re deep so that will go a long way,” Doddridge, whoplayed on seven Mann Cup champions, said. “In a four-out-of-sevenseries it’s a war and I’ve been through quite a few of them.”

Game 2 of the series goes Friday, 7:45 p.m. at the Poirier SportCentre’s main arena. The series heads to Victoria Sunday for Game3, and returns Aug. 10, 7:45 p.m. for Game 4. If necessary, theseries continues Aug. 12 and 14, in Victoria and Coquitlam.

The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) came into effect onJuly 1st, increasing the cost of funerals by 7%. In manycases, this amounts to an increase of $500 or more.While we assisted hundreds of families with theirpre-arrangements prior to the July 1st deadline, manyothers were unable to complete their plans before theHST became effective.By planning ahead you will:• Relieve your family of the emotional and financial burden

an unplanned funeral can cause• Prevent emotional overspending• Lock in prices at today’s rates

Strong Busi-ness. StrongCommunities.That is theChamber tagline, and toillustrate howour membersdemonstrate

this tag line as it relates toeconomic development, lookno further than Metro Motorsand their continual sponsor-ship (with the PoCo BIA) of theDowntown Port Coquitlam CarShow now entering its 6th yearrunning.

The Downtown Port Co-quitlam Car show providesthousands of visitors an incred-

ible opportunity to see a rangeof unique, vintage and customvehicles as this year, over 300vehicles line the downtownstreets. More importantly asthe streets are full of pedestri-ans, it is these pedestrians whofrequent the downtown shopsand attractions creating aneconomic boom for the localbusinesses.

Metro Motors is a well-knownbrand name in both the Tri-Cit-ies and theLowerMainlandandit is the Metro Motors brandname that backs a variety ofinitiatives most notably the CarShow and Minor Soccer. Whilethe car show and participa-tion in minor soccer may notsell cars (people sell cars), it’sabout the brand recognitionand what impact it has on oursociety.

CHAIR’S REPORT

CHAIR’S REPORT continuted on page 3

Has your business benefited from sport tourism this year? Recently, wewitnessed two of the world’s largest sporting events; South Africa’s successfulhosting of the 2010 World Cup and earlier this year, we embraced thecollective celebration and nation-building that went hand-in-hand with ourhosting of the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. These arebig events, with large scale economic and social impacts for entire nations,but sporting events of all sizes can impact local economies. This August,Coquitlam hosts the Canadian Junior Lacrosse Championship, as teams fromacross Canada compete for the Minto Cup. Tri-Cities hotels, restaurants andstores will see additional sales as a result of visits from four teams from acrossCanada, their families and many spectators. It is anticipated that this eventwill result in over fifteen hundred night stays in the area and will likely resultin an additional $150,000 in spending in our community. This is just oneevent, but Tri-Cities municipalities play host to a number of sports events,every year. Businesses that support the efforts of sports organizations helpbuild successful events, but also contribute to our collective efforts to develop

our local economy. We all win when we support sports tourism!!For information on this event and schedulesof upcoming games, visit www.mintocup.ca
