There has typically been only one time whenthe entire family of a war veteran could gather ina local legion: Remembrance Day.

However, that is about to change in PortCoquitlam and likely many legions around theprovince thanks to changes to B.C.’s liquor laws.

On Thursday, Royal Canadian Legion Branch133 in PoCo announced it is the first to receive anew liquor licence that permits minors into thefacility with their family members.

Shirley Dunford, president of the PoCo legion,said the change is part of an effort to keep thelegion going for years to come.

“To be able to bring all our family in will meanso much,” she told the Tri-Cities NOW, noting shehas grandchildren and great-grandchildren whopreviously weren’t allowed in.

She pointed out the legion’s only source ofrevenue comes from bar and food sales.

Officials, who noted people don’t need to havea family member serve in the military to join,are also hoping the change will help attract new

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.

ARTHRITIS PAIN?

LASERLIGHT

THERAPYmay be theanswer

Arthritis Both KneesI have been suffering from knee pain for several years and have tried a number of

treatments and medications to no avail. I decided to give Laser Light Therapy an

opportunity to ease my pain, and while skeptical initially, I am pleased with the results

as my “day to day” pain has been reduced significantly. I would recommend Laser Light

Therapy to anybody suffering from pain.

Arthritic HandsWhen I first started laser on my hands I couldn’t even button a shirt, turn the gas cap

or grip a cup. I felt handicapped. After 10 treatments I noticed major improvement. I

recommend laser to everybody.

Elbow and Neck ArthritisFinally I decided to start Laser Light Therapy. First the neck, within a few treatments

my neck and shoulders stopped aching. Then the left elbow, which was quite sore with

moderate degeneration. The treatments improved my painful elbow. I no longer awake

every few hours from pain and many nights I can sleep right through!

Shoulder Arthritis:I had a lot of pain and stiffness in my right arm and shoulder from arthritis caused by

being hit by a car 26 years ago. After 3-4 laser treatments I was able to move my arm and

shoulder once again and after 10 treatments the pain was all gone!

Knee ArthritisAfter playing soccer for 40 years my knee started to get early signs of arthritis. It was very

stiff and I could not enjoy even simple walks due to knee pain. After 8 treatmens of the

laser light my knee feels great. I have great mobility and may even enjoy the old soccer

game again.

Shoulder ArthritisI had been experiencing constant neck and shoulder pain for some time, my family doctor

could only recommend pain killers. After 10 treatments of Laser Light I was no longer

enduring the chronic ache and pain which had beset me for so long. I now feel I can cope

with only a minimum of discomfort with my arthritis.

Almost anyone who lives in Metro Vancouverunderstands no community is immune togang violence and organized crime, includingthe Tri-Cities.

In a span of just 15 months in 2012 and2013, there were four gang-style shoot-ings in the Tri-Cities — all of which remainunsolved.

The last came a year ago when 34-year-oldJoey Lamont Arrance was gunned down nearMarathon Court in Coquitlam.

While the streets have been fairly quietsince, experts and politicians are questioninghow long that will remain following wordthat budget cuts are coming to the provincialRCMP’s organized crime units.

On Wednesday, the RCMP’s command-

ing officer in B.C. announced budget cuts tothe force, specifically $4.2 million from theCombined Forces Special Enforcement Unit-BC and the Provincial Major Crime program.

The CFSEU, which deals with organizedand gang crime, has been cut by $2.8 million,reducing the number of Lower Mainland-based teams from six to five, by 12 positions,while a budget cut of $1.4 million was madeto the special projects/unsolved homicide/missing persons program.

Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth saidhe was surprised by the cuts and doesn’t seethe rationale behind them.

He argued the cuts will limit the capabil-ities of the RCMP to do its job targeting organ-ized crime, especially when it comes to bikergangs.

“Instead of making these cuts, the gov-ernment should be supporting police effortsto fight organized crime and gang crime,”Farnworth told the Tri-Cities NOW.

“We’ve seen enough of its impact in the

Lower Mainland, in the Tri-Cities, across theriver in Surrey — I think people would beappalled at this.”

The NDP MLA suggested organized crime isgrowing and diversifying around the countryand across the globe, adding the cuts send thewrong message to the biker gangs.

“You don’t take your foot off organizedcrime because it will rear its ugly head timeand time again,” he said.

Simon Fraser University criminologistRobert Gordon said if the provincial govern-ment feels organized crime is on the declineand the RCMP don’t need money to investi-gate a “declining phenomenon,” it’s wrong.

“Clearly, organized crime is still very act-ive,” he said, noting organized crime is tied toa still-vibrant drug trade.

Gordon, who noted the province hasn’toffered a response to the cuts yet, also arguedonce police ease up on investigations, organ-ized crime will rise again, leading to moreshootings in Lower Mainland communities.

The criminologist also questioned if localmunicipal and RCMP police forces, whichhaven’t been cut, will have to pick up the slackfrom the provincial cuts.

He pointed out with many of the CFSEUmembers from municipal departments likelyheading back to their former posts, he’s notsure if there will be any savings in the end.

Just after sundown on May 30, 2012, gang-ster Gurbinder Toor was gunned down in theparking lot of the Port Moody RecreationComplex as he got out of his car on the way toa ball hockey game.

Less than a month later in June, anothergangster, Randy Naicker, was fatally shotnear his truck at the corner of St. Johns andQueens streets during rush hour.

Naicker was the founder of the IndependentSoldiers gang.

That September, Joseph Markel of PortMoody was gunned down at his home in theGlenayre neighbourhood in the middle of aSaturday morning.

They’re basically the big-gest musical legends of theirgeneration.

In one instance you haveRingo Starr, the drummer forarguably the most influen-tial band in rock music, andin the other, the man onlyknown as Slash, the reveredguitar player for one of themost popular musical acts ofthe late 1980s and 1990s inGuns N’ Roses.

And within a few weeksof each other, the two iconshad graced the stage of TheTheatre at the Hard RockCasino Vancouver.

The fact the two were atthe Coquitlam casino isn’t acomment about any dimmingcareers, but rather the ascen-sion of the facility since it re-branded itself as a Hard Rockat the end of last year.

For Raj Mutti, the casino’sexecutive director, the eightmonths that have passedsince the Boulevard Casinomoniker left the street havebeen very positive.

He said the Hard Rock hasbeen able to attract a newerand younger demographicwho might not normallybe interested in a casino byfocusing on the entertain-ment and hospitality side ofthe business.

“We’re trying to differenti-ate ourselves in the market-place, and provide new formsof entertainment and thingsthat are fun for people of allages to do rather than thecore gaming audience thatcome to the casino just togamble,” Mutti told the Tri-Cities NOW.

And as he explained, carry-ing the Hard Rock banner hashelped the casino attract thebig names, pointing out Slashdidn’t know there was a HardRock in the Lower Mainland,but he knew the brand.

“It helps us out a lot interms of adding credibility toour property and our nameand helps lead big nameentertainers to want to doshows with us,” he said.

And the focus isn’t just ontrying to get the marqueeacts.

Just as an example, besidesthe Friday night appearanceof Slash, which was soldout, the parking lot of thecasino the following day wasteeming with exotic cars andpeople of all ages for the firstannual Ultimate Car Show.

It was a free event thatraised money for the SHAREFamily & Community ServicesSociety.

The casino has a formal

agreement with SHARE to bethe venue’s signature charit-able partner.

Also keeping it local, everyThursday night for the pastcouple of months, the venuehas been host to the Rock theMic Band competition, a bat-tle-of-the-bands style eventfor local aspiring musicalacts.

Last December, the GreatCanadian Gaming Corp.,which owns the casino, offi-cially launched the re-brand-ing effort with a major reno-vation that cost about $15million.

Some of the changes insidethe walls include decades ofmusical memorabilia, open-ing of the Asylum Lounge, a190-person venue, along withthe addition of four smallereateries, a coffee shop, anda host of different food andbeverage options.

The casino also took heatafter it decided to change the

name of the Red RobinsonShow Theatre to The Theatre.Big names like Michael Bublégot on board to protest thechange and show their sup-port for Robinson, but thecasino went ahead with thechange.

Mutti, who cites the Slashshow as the most successfulone to date, suggested thereis a buzz in the communityabout the casino.

While the buzz may beanecdotal, the quarterlyfinancials appear to back upthe positive sentiment fromcasino officials.

According to GreatCanadian’s second quarterresults, revenue and earningsat the Hard Rock increasedby seven per cent and 29 percent respectively, to $13.5million and $4.5 million.

In the financial statements,Great Canadian’s presidentand CEO Rod Baker saidthe company is encouraged

by the performance of thecasino.

“The property has steadilygained in popularity since itsre-launch last December, andits quarterly results are a tes-tament to its growing statusas one of Vancouver’s pre-mier entertainment destina-tions,” he said. “We believethat there is considerablepotential for further improve-ment at this property, andwill continue our efforts toincrease its traffic.”

Ann Stone, a lecturer atUBC’s Sauder School ofBusiness, believes it was asmart move for the companyto align with the Hard Rockbrand, which she suggested isstill a very well-known name.

She’s also not surprised there-branding has turned thecasino’s fortunes around.

Stone said when people arelooking to spend their moneyon an experience, they eitherrely on word-of-mouth or a

brand they know and trust.“If you’re going to try some-

thing called the BoulevardCasino, you’re probably goingto think ‘I’m not thinking so’,but if you say ‘Wow, there’sa Hard Rock in town’, you’regoing to say that’s a prettygood opportunity,” she said.

“If I’m looking for any ofthose experiences, the HardRock Casino’s got to be onthe list.”

Also watching closely is theCity of Coquitlam.

Mayor Richard Stewartsaid the re-branding hastaken the former venue froma Tri-Cities casino and turnedit into a tourist attraction forthe region.

“I want it to focus on bring-ing people to our communityto experience various aspectsof our community, and cer-tainly the music side of thecasino is an incredibly valu-able attraction,” he said.

“I look forward to see-ing Coquitlam on the mapbecause of the kinds of per-formers who come through.”

Stewart also praised theHard Rock for how the casinohandled the transition, bysuggesting the venue hasfocused on what the custom-er is looking for in a respon-sible way.

He’s also hoping the com-pany will make good on longterms plans to build a hotelon the site, which the mayorsaid would help alleviate ashortage of rooms in the city.

As for the future, Mutti saidhe couldn’t speak about anyplans for a hotel, but he didmaintain the Hard Rock willcontinue to build on enter-tainment offerings and bringbig names to the casino.

members to the legion, whichhas seen its membershipwane significantly over theyears.

There are about 500 mem-bers at the branch, com-pared to 2,000 to 3,000 at itsheight.

In the past, the legion hadto turn down events likebirthday parties and wed-dings because of the oldliquor laws.

Dunford said the organiza-tion needs the younger gen-eration to take over and getinvolved in the legion.

“We need new blood,” shesaid.

Long-time member andSecond World War veteranRichard Young said he hopesthe changes at his legion willallow the organization tocontinue on, not only for hisfamily but other families withchildren.

He sees the legion as anopportunity to bring historyto life, noting his father, whofought in the First World War,never mentioned the legionwhen he was younger.

When kids were allowed inonly on Remembrance Day,he was always willing to talkto young people about hisexperiences.

The change also has thesupport of PoCo Mayor GregMoore.

A member himself, he saidthe new rules will give theorganization a better oppor-tunity to connect with thecommunity.

Moore also said he’s notworried about any negativeeffects from bringing kidsinto the legion, pointing outthe situation is very similar tothat at many restaurants.

“It’s really cool to sit downhere and have lunch, you’rewithin all this history andit’s just a great opportunityto talk about our legion,” hesaid, adding the local branchhas shown leadership by

being the first in the provinceto get the licence.

And big plans are alreadyin place to mark the change,including a family day anddance on Saturday, Sept. 6 tocelebrate.

The legion is also planninga children’s Christmas partyfor later in the year.

Local group fundraisesto pay forwater testingChris [email protected]

The Coquitlam-basedWatershed Watch SalmonSociety has launched a fund-raising campaign to supportlong term, independent watermonitoring in the aftermathof the Mount Polley tailings-pond spill earlier this month.

The move comes in thesame week a governmentanalysis of sediment enteringQuesnel Lake from the Aug.4 spill indicated contaminantlevels are unsafe for aquaticlife.

“While government leadershave been busy downplay-ing the severity of this dis-aster, independent scientistsand First Nations have beendoing an excellent job collect-ing water, sediment and fishsamples from the momentnews of the spill first broke,”

said Aaron Hill, an ecologistwith Watershed Watch.

“They will need financialsupport to do all of the neces-sary lab tests on the samplesthey’ve collected — and tocarry on with their importantwork over the coming monthsso we can truly understandthe long-term impacts towater and fish.”

The monitoring is aimedat determining the toxicityand chemical behaviour ofthe metal-laden sediments asthey move and settle out intoPolley Lake, Quesnel Lakeand along the Quesnel River.

The sudden rush of waterand tailings after the breachplugged the outlet fromPolley Lake and destroyedHazeltine Creek. Water andtailings also ended up inQuesnel Lake.

Drinking water in the near-by town of Likely was ruled

safe shortly after. Hill told theTri-Cities NOW the sedimentitself and its potential forslow leaching or movement isthe bigger concern.

B.C. Mines Minister BillBennett has announced anindependent inquiry into thecollapse of the dam wall thatled to the leak.

Bennett told reportersthis week the inquiry wouldinclude government regula-tions and policies, and a lookat “how we do business.”

Critics are concerned thepanel is too heavy on engin-eers and too light on regu-latory experts, making itunlikely to properly assessthe role government mighthave played.

Tools stolen fromsite ofEvergreenLine project


When you have a con-struction project that spanstwo major communities, it’sbound to be susceptible tovandalism and theft.

That’s what the groupbehind the construction ofthe Evergreen Line discov-ered recently after an inci-

dent in Port Moody.According to police, some-

one stole a variety of toolsfrom a large tool box at theEvergreen Line main stagingarea along Vintner Street,sometime between Aug. 5and 6.

Besides swiping $3,500worth of tools, the crooksdecided to graffiti the site.

Police noted the graffiti

included messages like “thegovernment is a lie,” “don’tbe sheep,” “God is life” aswell as the numbers “666”and a star of David.

Port Moody police spokes-person Const. Luke vanWinkel said it’s the first timethe department has dealtwith incidents of theft andgraffiti around the line.

“As for the graffiti, this isthe first time we’ve had any-thing essentially vandalizedin the area,” he said.

“Whether its related to theEvergreen Line, whether it’sthe person stealing the toolsdoing it, we don’t know butwe hope to determine that as

the investigation unfolds.”Coquitlam Mounties also

said they haven’t been calledto any theft incidents atconstruction sites along theroute.

A response from theMinistry of Transportationand Infrastructure said theoverall safety of the site andsecurity of the materials arethe responsibility of the com-pany contracted to completethe projects.

The ministry noted anytheft that occurs on thesesites is the responsibility ofthe contracted company andthe company covers any asso-ciated costs.

Do you ever wish that youcould get rid of Facebook,Snapchat and other socialmedia once and for all soyou never need to spend

time checking, responding and “liking”pictures of someone else’s breakfast? Soyou don’t have to stress over that 220th“follower?” So you don’t need to worryif your post has no “likes?”

It is true that social media hasbrought much convenience to our lives.Nowadays, we can chat and connectwith people instantly while being milesaway from each other. Also, we can letthe world know all the “fun” things thatare happening around us, like the saladwe had for dinner and the toenail thatsomeone cracked.

However, vast developments intechnology have changed the mean-ing of friendship. A few decades ago,friends were people who played sportstogether, went to the movies togetherand laughed together face to face. Now,“friends” are people that text you dur-ing class or comment below your selfie.Some of them might even be strangers.

Also, due to the limitations of thesenew technologies the communica-tion revolutionized but lost some of itsformer qualities. True friends, besidessupporting each other, would be oneswho chat, play and enjoy life togetherphysically. However, we, the young gen-erations, are not doing that very oftenanymore.

Many grandparents would often say:“Back when I was your age we didn’ttext or post things online. We werephysically together.”

We now “see” friends through socialmedia rather than meeting them physic-ally. “Staying connected” seems to havebecome the most important thing insome people’s lives now.

Let’s be honest, how many of us ask

“Do they have Wi-Fi here?” the firstmoment we check in? Instead of enjoy-ing the beach, sunshine and bikinis,we ignore them and pay more atten-tion towards connecting to our friendsonline.

Have you ever seen a group of teen-agers walking side by side but halfof them are staring at their iPhonescreens? What is the point of walkingtogether if you are not going to talk oreven look at each other? How ridicu-lous! In this case, they may be physicallytogether but they are mentally apart.Soon, friends will not be people whocommunicate face to face but those whoconnect to the world only through theirfingertips.

Along with the increasing popularityof social media comes competition. Onewants to have more followers than theother guy because this proves that he isthe more “popular” one. These “friends”are often random people who yousearched up or people who randomly“liked” your posts. However, are thesepeople actual friends? What do youknow about the guy who appears to be15 years old and lives in California? Ishe really your friend? You do not thinkit’s creepy when a stranger likes yourphoto on Facebook but it makes youuncomfortable when someone walks upto you at the bus stop and says, “Hey, Ilike your photos.”

If you find a stranger unsettling oreven intimidating in real life, why don’tyou find him weird online? Yet you werethe one who added or agreed to addhim to your Facebook friends. Whatmade you trust him so that he can seeinto your personal life? These people arenot friends, they are strangers.

Social media of the modern worldmake our lives easier. New websitesand apps bring a brand new form ofinteraction into our lives. Since we con-

nect through this kind of interaction,we build friendships through thesemediums.

These friendships are not the sameas they were a few decades ago. Backthen friendship was not about “likes” or“followers,” but that’s how it seems to benow. We have friends of large quantitybut are they friends of quality? We knowless about the “ppl” around us becausewe spend less time with them face toface. For some of them, we have no ideawho they are. But surprisingly, whenonline, we let these strangers know a lotabout us while we are not as open whenchatting with our actual friends.

Friends nowadays have become spi-ders and are clinging onto their littlewebs of social media. We are driftingaway from this corporeal world becauseof the convenience and “fun” broughtabout by social media.

Go out and smell the roses underthose cheery skies. Turn off yourphones; life is better with a beam ofsunshine!

It’s beyond hard to watch the level of unrest comingout of Ferguson.

The Missouri town has been in a near-constantstate of protest and heavy-handed police responsesince an unarmed black teenager was shot by police

more than a week ago. But with drastically differing policeand civilian accounts of the shooting, we are left to guesswhat sparked this.

New technology makes it entirely feasible for officersto wear miniature cameras on their uniforms and studieshave shown that police forces that use them experience adrastic drop in use-of-force and complaints against police.Rightly or wrongly, police face a perception that they pro-tect their own.

It doesn’t help that there have been some very high-pro-file cases where photos or footage captured by a civilianbystander was the only way we ever learned the truth. TheRobert Dziekanski and Sammy Yatim cases are probablythe best examples of this.

Of course officer-mounted cameras themselves are abees’ nest of other ethical questions. Who has access tothe footage? Who decides what can be released? Whathappens to the hours of mundane, law-abiding citizenactivity they’re sure to capture each day? These are fair butanswerable questions.

As a society, we grant police the authority they needto safely do their jobs, to serve and protect, which we aregrateful for. But the agreement comes with the under-standing that their authority must be matched by account-ability.

By its nature, police work isn’t pretty. Any officer can tellyou that.

Still, it is better that we see for ourselves.— Guest editorial from the North Shore News

CITY RESPONDSTO CONCERNSABOUTWASTE

Re: “Car show wasgreat, but we need to sortwaste,” letter to the editor,Wednesday, Aug. 20.

The Downtown Car Show,organized annually by the PortCoquitlam Business ImprovementAssociation (BIA), is definitelya highlight of summer for ourresidents. We’re pleased the eventattracts thousands of people fromall over to come and experiencethe spirit and vibrancy of PortCoquitlam.

The city supports the BIA inorganizing the car show and pro-vides waste collection servicesat the event. In addition to over50 three-stream waste sortingbins placed throughout the city,extra recycling, garbage andgreen carts are put in the down-town area and in Leigh Squareto ensure proper sorting of wasteduring the event.

As a quick cleanup was neededafter the breakfast served byvolunteers from the HawthorneSeniors Centre and council mem-bers, city staff collected all wasteand ensured it was sorted prop-erly prior to disposal.

At events organized by the city,including May Day, Canada Dayand the upcoming Rivers andTrails Festival, local communitygroups, such as the Scouts, volun-teer by helping people sort theirwaste properly and they collectthe recyclables as part of theirfundraising efforts.

These efforts are part of thegreat work that our city and ourresidents have been doing to keepwaste away from the landfill andto keep Port Coquitlam clean,green and beautiful.

More information and resour-ces on how to sort waste properlyare available on the city’s websiteat www.portcoquitlam.ca/waste.

THIS TEACHERWON’T BE BACKIN CLASS EARLY

So, BCPSEA (BC Public SchoolEmployers’ Association) is willingto lift the lockout so teachers cango into school early and preparejust in case the two sides are ableto work things out in time?

They are expecting me to goin early, voluntarily, when theydocked my pay 10 per cent a dayfor two weeks in June for doingmy job under the lockout condi-tions they imposed?

I just don’t get it. I do want togo back to work. I like my job.It is the most difficult job I haveever done, and I spent 20 years inretail, but the most rewarding.

Why does it take the govern-ment more than a year to negoti-ate a contract with the teacherswhen they resolve other unions’within hours?

What evidence do I have toexpect that they will actuallynegotiate in these last two weeks,when they haven’t really negoti-ated all year?

I hate that my class will lookjust like it did, when I had toleave it in June, and I hate theidea that for the first time in nineyears, I won’t be prepared when Igo back.

RATS GAININGA FOOTHOLD INCOMMUNITY?

I was walking my dog in Como

Lake Park recently and noticedseveral rats feeding on bird feedat the lake’s edge.

I have lived in Coquitlam for23 years now and this is a first.The rats were less than a coupleof metres away and seemedunafraid of humans.

I find this disturbing. Therehave been recent changes towhat the public can buy in ourlocal hardware stores to controlrodents.

Poison is now in pre-packedcontainers and is more expensive.They have taken away the activeingredient bromadialone, whichdid the job; the poisons avail-able now are ineffective. It is nocoincidence that rats are gaininga foothold in our community.

I called and spoke with some-one in the city’s parks mainten-ance department. He didn’t seemtoo interested and said he wouldpass the message on.

If citizens are no longerallowed to purchase effectivemeans to control these vermin,then I would say our local govern-ment will have to take action indealing with this nasty problem.

Make this day count

Is today just anotherday?

And tonight after ithas passed, will it beforgotten?

Is it a day in the way?That’s a countdown day thatyou just want to get throughbecause it stands betweenyou and what you anticipate— a special day in the future,a holiday or the weekend.

In the trance of everydaylife, we can get caught upwith nonstop activity, end-less goals and distractions.We lose sight of what mattersmost, and we can forget asimple truth.

Every moment is preciousand every day a gift.

When they were young, Itaught my children to frameeach day.

Before they rolled out ofbed, I asked them to say aprayer of thanks, consider-ing all the good in their lives,especially the people theyloved. By beginning the daywith their cups half full, theywould be more inclined tosee the positive throughouteach day, and when theircups were full, they would bemore likely to share and give.

Again at the end of eachday, at suppertime and atbedtime, they would recallthe gifts of the day: whatthey enjoyed, what theyreceived and what they gave.

This summer, my kidsare asleep when I leave thehouse and they’re awakewhen I go to bed. I no longerkeep track of their prayers,and I wonder if they, likemost grown ups and teens,have become too busy toframe their days and meas-ure their moments day byday.

Most physicians experi-ence a nearly constant pres-sure of time. While lookingafter our patients, there arealways competing demandson our time. And outside ofclinical time, we may be oncall, attending endless com-mittee meetings or managinga perpetual pile of forms andreports.

I must confess that everyone of my days — like anoverstuffed suitcase — ispacked with activity. I some-times judge the day by howmuch I have accomplished: Agood day is a productive day.

But none of us should waituntil the next holiday, retire-

ment, or the end of life, towake up and live each day.

We should begin — andcontinue — with the end inmind.

To not waste a day doesnot mean to pack it full ofactivity. We waste this day bynot being fully awake.

What gives your life mean-ing? Are you awake to theexperience of being alive— tasting, touching, breath-ing, feeling?

What are your greatestgoals? What are you doingwith your time?

What are you doing thisday to take one small step inthe direction of your dreams?

Today are you talking tothe people who matter most?Are you fully present in thepresence of others?

The measure of each day islike the measure of our lives,and the unit of measure islove. How have you sharedlove this day? Be graciouswhen receiving it. Be gener-ous in expressing it.

How were you helped inbig and small ways, and howare you helping others?

Don’t let this day slip by asanother blur of time, anothersquare on the calendar oranother countdown day.

Make it count.

Daisies canbloom formonths

It’s not hard to get ninemonths of flowers outof the daisy family,even if all you have isa couple of containers

to plant them in. Many areso happy in well-drained soilthat containers are an idealspot.

Daisy flowers are profuse,long-lasting and good forcutting. Even their faults aregenerous ones. They tendto seed around and clumpsincrease fast. Most like sunbut can handle partial shade.Though relaxed about water-ing most of the year, they doneed watering in long, hotsummers.

The show begins inMarch with the yellow daisyflowers of Leopardsbane(Doronicum). Varieties rangefrom three feet (one metre)tall to 12 inches (30 cm)— nice for bees early in theyear.

Just a tad later, the verydwarf double daisies openwhite, pink or rosy red pom-poms — spectacular the firstyear, but after that flowersare smaller. These were bredfrom Bellis perennis, thelawn daisy that some garden-ers loathe and others love.

By mid-spring, the flea-banes (Erigeron) startflowering and continue forages. This is a huge family ofdaisies, often with so many

narrow petals they can looksemi-double. Colours varyfrom white to pink to vari-ous purples. They love gooddrainage and some happilyself sow in driveways andpaver cracks.

By summer, Shasta dais-ies open their usually whitepetals with gold centres.Today, Shasta flowers canbe double, shaggy or havequilled or twisted petals.Many dwarfs are now avail-able and one, Becky, opensyellow petals that slowly turnto white. If you deadheadthem in July, you’ll get moreflowers later.

Echinacea is a daisy that’sbecome hugely popular. It’s anative North American daisythat had herbal uses as animmune system stimulatorand is still used for this pur-pose today. It is best in poorsoil because this helps it staycompact — and it hates to bemoved.

The many native speciesusually flowered in purple-

pink. Newer cultivars havemany whites. The varietyCheyenne Spirit has red,orange and yellow flowers.Some newer echinaceasflower from seed the firstyear.

At summer’s peak, coneflowers (rudbeckias) beginblooming. The newer onestoday are developed fromthe native Black Eyed Susanthat covers the B.C. Interiorhills with gold in summer. Allgrow and expand so fast thatthe main problem is usuallystopping them.

These days rudbeckiaflower colours go beyond theblazing Goldsturm, whichis still so popular today.Cappuccino is bronze-brown,Prairie Sun is gold with paletips and a green centre andCherry Brandy is red with adark cone.

Soon the perennial fallasters flower. Today they aremainly dwarf and colours areintense purples, rose, pinkand soft white. Purple Domeis only 18 inches (60 cm)while Alert is only 12 inches(30 cm). With these, as withother daisies, pests aren’t aproblem.

Among the tallest populardaisies are heleniums (sneezeweed). These are ruggedthree foot (one metre) tallperennials that like rich soiland moisture, but survive

nicely on less.Flowers are in long-lasting

clusters of rich golds, orange-reds and browns. Some arein blends of two or threecolours.

I have seen helenium usedas a very effective divider ina small garden.

Pilgrims have been trek-king along Spain’s famedCamino de Santiago routefor 1,000 years, searching forspiritual enlightenment andmeaning in their lives.

Devan Scott isn’t sure whathis own 45-day trip down thehistoric 791-kilometre routenext month is going to do forhis soul. But the Coquitlamfilmmaker is determined todocument the quest, and he’staking two of his favouritefellow heathens along on thejob.

Scott, Daniel Jeffery andWill Ross are the trio offilmmakers behind Sad HillMedia, a collective of MetroVancouver filmmakers whoselatest venture is We ThreeHeathens. Their idea is totweak the traditional third-person documentary for-mat to produce a first-per-son account of the Camino’sspirituality, culture and phys-

ical challenge, assembledfrom footage shot by each ofthe filmmakers as they makethe trek together.

Scott is a graduate of PortMoody’s Heritage WoodsSecondary, where his filmbug first bit. The trio metup at SFU’s film programand have spent the five yearssince working together on agrowing body of short filmsthat combine innovative tech-niques and powerful stories.

The initial work onHeathens, their first full-length documentary, is beingfunded with $10,600 raisedin an online Indiegogo cam-paign in July. The trio is alsoawaiting word this monthon grant money from the BCArts Council.

The crowd-sourced moneywill cover plane tickets andother expenses for shootingthe film. Scott says they maylaunch another fundraisingor grant push in Januaryafter they figure out whatpost-production work will

look like.“It’s a first feature film by

three very independent film-makers, so there’s not a hugebudget,” Scott said. “It’s scal-able; we need a minimum of$15,000 but have plans for upto $35,000.”

If filming is as “strategicand thoughtful” as planned,the trio want to be finishedediting by May. Enough extramoney would mean the groupcould focus on editing theirwork rather than working onother projects at the sametime. They might also hireout some of the work — thesound mixing, for example— to a production house,Scott says.

But for now, the wholefocus is on getting ready fora mid-September departure.That means gathering cam-era and travel gear and cram-ming in enough long, rigor-ous walks to ready them-selves for a hike that couldtake anywhere from 45 to 60days — or about a half-mara-

thon a day.Scott says the idea for a

film investigating spiritual-ity first came to him whenhe heard about the Caminoand viewed a photo essayon it, and then solidifiedwhen he spent four days liv-ing at Westminster Abbey inMission during a film shoot.The calm and peace made

an impression, and the filmbecame a way of investigat-ing universal spirituality.

The group decided on afilm that, unlike traditionaldocumentaries, would movefrom third-person observa-tions to first-person perspec-tives.

Each of the men will shootfootage of their own experi-

ences as secular travellers ona traditional religious trek,with the goal of editing it intoa unified, full-length piece.It’s a goal that Scott says isboth daunting and exciting.

But it might be made eas-ier by his decision to make itwith very few resources.

“A lot of young filmmakerstry to create stories that needvast amounts of resources,”Scott says. “I want to do some-thing that’s within my meansto do to my satisfaction.

“Two or three years ago,‘do-ability’ was something Inever thought of. My gradfilm two years ago was a mas-sive mini-epic about a biblicalArmageddon. It cost $6,000or $7,000 for 12 minutes offilm. Now I’m asking whatI can express with the toolsI have, instead of pining fortools I don’t have. It’s changedhow I pick my projects.”

Filmmakers to document Camino trip

LISA KING/NOW

Will Ross, left, Devan Scott and Daniel Jeffery will filmtheir journey along Spain’s Camino de Santiago.

Retiree has own reason for heading to Spain


Louis Charland isn’t particularlyreligious. However, that’s not goingto stop him from taking part in anannual pilgrimage in Spain that’s allabout self-reflection. In a few weeks,

Charland and a friend will be takingpart in the Camino de Santiago, aseveral hundred kilometre walk tothe shrine of St. James the Greatin the Cathedral of Santiago deCompostela in northwestern Spain.

It’s a walk that draws thousandsof people every year to the European

country.Charland plans to walk about 300

miles, or 480 kilometres, in 30 days,carrying all his belongings for thetrip on his back, and staying in hos-tels along the way (the pilgrimageis 791 kilometres or less, dependingon the starting point).

But the 73-year-old isn’t doing itjust to feel good about himself —he’s raising money in support of theBC Children’s Hospital burn unit.

“It started with the idea of adven-ture and romance, and then becauseit’s a pilgrimage, it morphed intoatonement,” he told the Tri-CitiesNOW, adding he picked the causebecause it helps children.

Charland is hoping to raise$5,000 through his efforts, and as ofWednesday, had reached the $1,300mark.

He started with a goal of $2,000.While he admits the trek isn’t

going to be easy on his 73-year-old bones, he’s been preparing formonths now.

Since March, he’s walked about1,000 kilometres in preparation.

The training even wore out a goodpair of shoes before the trip.

“It’s going to be difficult at timesfor sure,” he said, noting each dayon the walk will present a new chal-lenge.

Getting Ready For KindergartenKindergarten can be a time of wonder, new experiences and rapideducational growth. It also can stimulate nerves and fears aboutthe unexpected. Preparing children for kindergarten requires a little

finesse to make this significant milestone in a kid’s life that muchmorespecial.*Speak often about kindergarten. Talking openly and excitedlyabout kindergarten is oneway to spur a child’s interest in school.As thefirst day of school approaches, bring it up in conversation and see howyour youngster feels about kindergarten. Some children are anxious tobegin this new chapter in their lives, while others are daunted by theprospect of starting school. Understanding how your child feels aboutkindergarten can help youmore effectively deal with any apprehensionhe or she might have. * Schedule a tour. Some schools have programsin place to introduce incoming kindergarteners to the school and thecurriculum. For others, you may have to request a visit to the school.

Such visits can be helpful, especially if your child does not have anolder sibling already in the school and is completely unfamiliar withthe building. Sometimes just being able to see what the school andkindergarten classroom looks like is a enough to assuage fears. *Startadjusting kids’ schedules. Summer vacation and pre-kindergarten lifemay be about retiring to bed late and waking up much later than thestart of a typical school day. But such schedules are no longer realisticonce kids begin school. Help kindergarteners-to-be acclimate to theirnew schedules by gradually changing their bed times and wake timesin the weeks leading up to the first day of school. Five-year-olds needbetween 10 and 12 hours of sleep each night.

HondaAccordTouring finds balanceBrendan [email protected]

There’s no denying thatMr. Honda was a genius,but he also nearly ran his

company into the ground.Obsessed with perfection,he backed up the produc-tion line time and again withnew innovations and insights

— the engineers eventuallyset up a desk for somebody tofield all his brainwaves.

It was no way to build acar, even if the car in ques-

tion was actually pretty good.The Honda 1300 was the firstproper Honda passenger car,and it had any number ofclever tricks; sadly, it wasn’ta sales success.

The next car to comealong was the Civic, andwe all know how that went.However, this time Mr.Honda was forced to allowhis engineers to stop pullingtheir hair out in frustrationand work together in a moreharmonious fashion. Littlewonder they’d soon producea vehicle called the Accord.

But then something hap-pened. The svelte littleHondas of the ’70s, ’80s and’90s ballooned into hugemachines that were some-what spongy. The Accordgrew so much it crossedfrom mid-sized to full-sized;comfy, sure, but where’s thepersonality? Happily, a prop-er Accord returned last yearand the harmony is back.

Design:Not much has changed

for the 2014 year in termsof the Accord’s sheet metal,assuming you discount theoptional Hybrid version withits blue-green enviro-cues.It’s a conservative design,yet the more I look at it, the

more there is to like. Whileslightly shrunk in size, this isstill a big, wide car, yet theclean styling avoids it lookingcumbersome. You get 18-inchalloys on both the Touringand Sport trims, but thestock 17-inch rims look justfine, and will have cheaper-to-replace tires anyway.

Environment:However, that ageless

beauty is only skin deep.While there’s much to likeabout the interior of theAccord in terms of spacious-ness, the application of tech-nology leaves something tobe desired.

Just as the split-levelinstrument binnacle on theCivic has its detractors, theAccord’s twin screen setupis going to puzzle more thana few people. Why’d theydo that? The top eight-inchscreen looks nice, but it’soperated by a rotary control,while a second lower screenhandles the audio functions,and is at a lower resolution.

It’s odd, but it works— and yet a simpler layoutprobably would have beenbetter. Having said that, theintegrated LaneWatch side-view camera is the sort ofclever innovation that onlyHonda could come up with:

NewHonda apracticalmid-sized sedanevery time you put your right turn indicatoron, a camera mounted on the right mirrorshows a nice clear display down the side ofthe car, making watching for cyclists easy,and parallel parking a cinch.

Performance:One feature that all Hondas used to have

was a fun-to-drive essence that extendedright across the range.

While the Accord is far more refined thanthe Hondas of yore, it still has a bit of thatracing spirit tucked under the hood. Thefour-cylinder option makes a reasonable184hp at 5,000rpm and 181lb/ft of torque at3,900rpm. The dual exhausts on the Sportmodels uncork an extra 5hp, and the V6

stomps out an impressive 278hp and 252lb/ft.Honda, bless their hearts, will sell you

an Accord with a real six-speed manual ifyou want, but you’re better off selecting aContinuously Variable Transmission if youdon’t want to wait. I know, I know: a CVT.That can’t be good for driving fun, can it?

Truth be told, Honda’s nailed this transmis-sion. Unless you’re brutal with the throttle,it doesn’t whine and rubber-band too much,and is extremely smooth and efficient. Evenbetter, the Accord’s chassis is that of oneof the ballerinas the H-badge used to putout, meaning that it’s really quite quick andnimble.

The electric power-steering is well man-aged, without being over boosted, and itfrankly feels like a return to form.

Tackling a curving on-ramp, the four-cylin-der Accord carried enough speed through the

corner that little power was actually neededfor extra acceleration. That’s just the wayan old Honda would have made the mostof its power, and the payoff is a great driv-ing experience with minimal penalty at thepump.

Features:Standard equipment in the mid-size sedan

segment is usually very good and the Accordis no exception. The eight-inch display and abackup camera are standard, as is Bluetoothhands-free, automatic headlights and heatedseats. Move up to the Touring-spec trim andget leather heated seats fore and aft, satellitenavigation and a multi-angle rear camera.

Fuel economy is rated at 7.8L/100kms inthe city and 5.5L/100kms on the highway.The new five-cycle testing would likely indi-

cate a 10-to-15-per-cent bump in those fig-ures, but the Accord did return very good fueleconomy in the real world, particularly theway the CVT worked in the city.

Green Light:Roomy, comfortable cabin; lively driving

dynamics; good value from base model.

Stop Sign:Overcomplicated twin-screen infotainment;

styling may be too conservative for some.

The Checkered Flag:Finds the balance between the practical

needs of a mid-sized sedan and the twinkle inSoichiro Honda’s eye.

Buyingahomenoweasier for newcomers

Buying your firsthome in Canadacan be a challen-ging experience— and for new-

comers, who may not under-stand the mortgage process,it can be even more so.

Many immigrants expressthat they don’t understandthe nuances, and others havecertain preconceived notionsthat don’t always hold true,like requiring a credit historyto obtain a mortgage.

According to a recentpoll from the Royal Bankof Canada, 56 per cent ofnewcomers believe that aCanadian credit history isrequired in order to get amortgage.

This is a myth. In reality,the financial path for new-comers is much brighter, andmuch easier, than peoplemight think.

“Newcomers to Canadawho have been in the countryless than five years no longerneed to produce a credit hist-ory for an RBC mortgage,”says Christine Shisler, thedirector of multicultural

markets.“We listened to the needs

of immigrants and madesome enhancements to ourpolicies, making it easier fornewcomers to get settled.The change to our newcomermortgage program givespeople more time to qualifyand more time to save fortheir down payment.”

Here are Shisler’s threetips for potential homebuy-ers:

1. Get pre-approved

When you are pre-approved for a mortgage,you can shop for a homewith confidence. Meet witha mortgage specialist beforeyou tour open houses —you’ll have a clearer pictureof what you can afford andthat will take some of thestress out of the home buyingprocess.

2. Know thehidden costs

Beyond the mortgageamount, legal fees and land-transfer taxes are commonexamples of costs that oftenaren’t accounted for whenpurchasing a home. Speak toa mortgage specialist to makesure you know all the associ-ated costs.

3. Keep your totalbudget in mind

Allow for a little wiggleroom so that you’ll havesome funds in reserve forongoing home ownershipcosts, your lifestyle needsand any unexpected expens-es that may arise.

The poll also showed thatmany newcomers (44 percent) don’t know whichproducts are right for them.This is the main reason, saysShisler, to get personal guid-ance from a financial advisoror a mortgage specialist.More information is availableat rbc.com/settlequick or atany RBC branch.

The reverberating drums atthe Langley Events Centre arebuilding a loud backdrop for theMinto Cup championship series.

Over the first two games, withthe B.C. champion CoquitlamAdanacs holding sway, fans ofthe Six Nations Arrows didn’tquite have the beat nor the man-power to overwhelm the LangleyEvents Centre sound system. Butas momentum shifted, the per-cussion created a repercussion.

On Wednesday, with theArrows forcefully rallying totie the best-of-seven series 2-2,the drummers hammered out adeafening tune.

Game 5 was played last night(Thursday), past the Tri-CitiesNOW deadline, with the seriescontinuing Saturday.

A raucous reminder of thesport’s First Nations’ heritageand loyal fanbase, the drumslay down a marching rhythmfor the visiting club. What wasCoquitlam’s home-floor advan-tage is now, and not surprisingly,a steady resonating source ofsupport for a team 4,270 kilo-metres from home.

Adanacs head coach NeilDoddridge is fine with that —but he’d love to hear a little moredesperation from their side andbetter results for his.

“In ’95, I remember,” saidDoddridge of his own time withthe Six Nations Chiefs seniorteam that invaded Queen’s Parken route to a Mann Cup title.“It’s the rhythm that you play at.It helps them, obviously, helpsthem on the offence and drownsout the talk on the defence.”

On Wednesday, the drumswere in full force as Six Nationserased a 3-0 deficit and took con-trol with a powerful second per-iod, where they outscored theAdanacs 5-1.

Coquitlam’s shooters strug-gled to get to the crease andwere regularly stopped by Arrowdefenders with chops, hacks andwhacks, a fact that exasperatedthe Adanac coaches.

“It’s rough, yes, its rough,

but not the extra stuff. Gettingspeared in the face with a woodstick? You can only do that solong,” said Doddridge. “You’ll gointo the middle and take thatbut you’ll risk your body. Youexpect to draw a penalty onceor twice.”

After Game 3’s penalty-filledtrouncing, where Six Nationssoaked up a 19-5 victory, thereferees handed out just 25 min-utes of penalties Wednesday. SixNations converted two power-play chances, including JoshJohnson’s second of four with 31seconds left in the second thatmade it 7-4.

“The defence is answeringthe bell,” Arrows head coachMarshall Abrams said. “We knowit’s going to be a hard-fought

battle — there are some big boysover on Coquitlam but it comesdown to defence, down to heartand who wants it more.”

In the third, when the Adanacstried to close the gap, the drumsgot louder. When the drums gotlouder, Six Nations would putanother goal on the board —amplifying the beat even more.

“It’s great having some of theFirst Nations fans out from B.C.(supporting us),” said Johnson,who finished with four goals andthe team’s Player of the Gamehonour. “It’s a lot of support I tellyou that. It makes us feel thatmuch better, just like at home.”

In Games 3 and 4, the Arrowsdeep roster came to the forefront,capitalizing on some open lane-ways. Wesley Berg, meanwhile,

faced double- and triple-cover-age as well as a physical pound-ing, never mind the drums.

“They mark (Berg) pretty well,but he’s a warrior. He’s goingto find his chance, he’ll get fouror five quality chances a game,to say the least. He’s going tolead us to the rink,” said theCoquitlam coach.

“(Coquitlam is) definitely notgoing to give up, they’ve gotsome good coaches over there,”noted Abrams. “They’ve been insituations like this before. They’lldefinitely be pushing, but we justhave to keep pushing away backthere as well.”

Game 6 goes Saturday, 8 p.m.at the Langley Events Centre,and if necessary, Game 7 will beplayed Sunday.

COQUITLAMFACES TOUGHOPPONENTAND LOUDCROWDS

EWART, HAN AMONG TOP-SIXIn a contest of skills between golfers from two countries,

Coquitlam’s A.J. Ewart demonstrated some steely nerves andsteady shots in finishing tied for fifth spot at the AJGA/CJGAJunior Golf championship last week.

The 14-year-old kicked off the London, Ont. tournamentwith a round of 70, then stayed in the race for first with atwo-over par 73 on Day 2. He finished with a 75, falling threeshots back of Niles, Ill. golfer Orion Yamat.

In the girls division, Coquitlam’s Euna Han stayed in thehunt over the first two days after rounds of 74 and 73, butfell back to sixth place with a closing round of 80, placing 15strokes ack of champion Mia Ayer of Waco, Tx.

The tournament decides a joint winner between theAmerican Jr. Golf and Canadian Jr. Golf associations.

BANDITS LAUNCH CUP TOURNEYThe boisterous fans — some with drums — and champion-

ship lacrosse are coming to the palace on Poirier.Coquitlam plays host next week to the Presidents’ Cup senior

B lacrosse championship, with seven teams battling for seniorB bragging rights.

The host Tri-City Bandits, seven-time B.C. champs, kickoff the tourney Monday at 10 a.m. against the KhanawakeMohawks, with the official opening ceremony going at 7 p.m.That will lead into a rematch of the B.C. final, with Tri-City tak-ing on the Nanaimo Timbermen at 8:30 p.m.

On Tuesday, the Bandits play St. Alberts Miners at 8 p.m.,then Wednesday 5:15 p.m. against the Onondaga Redhawks.

The final is slated for Sunday, 4:30 p.m. at the Poirier rink.

PANTHERS PLEASED TO SHAREThe Port Moody Panthers will launch the 2014-15 Pacific

Junior B Hockey League exhibition run Sunday with an invita-tion to help those less fortunate.

The Panthers will use their pre-season home games as achance to elicit support for the SHARE Food Bank. Port Moodyhosts the Delta Ice Hawks for two games this coming week— on Sunday, Aug. 24 at 2 p.m., and Wed., Aug. 27, 8 p.m.— at the Port Moody Arena.

“As an entire organization, we feel a desire to help out andsupport our community wherever possible and the decision tomake our pre-season games donation-based exemplifies that,”said Port Moody general manager Frank Iantorno.

SPORTS SHORTS

Being the new kid in town is nothing new for wingerLogan Coomes.

The Farmington, Mich. native will arrive this weekin Coquitlam with few impressions of his new home orthe hockey team that he has signed with.

The 2014-15 Coquitlam Express have a few return-ees and a whole lot of holes as it prepares to defend lastseason’s unexpected B.C.Hockey League title.

That surprising achieve-ment, as well as the exodusof talent that moved on tocollege and pro opportun-ities, is background enoughto make a quick-skating for-ward like Coomes excitedto get on the Poirier ice.

“I have never visitedCoquitlam but from otherpeers I have heard it isbeautiful,” the 18-year-oldtold the Tri-Cities NOW. “I was sold on the teambecause it’s a high level of hockey and they wereinterested in me so I couldn’t turn them down. It willprepare me for college hockey.”

Committed to Quinnipiac University for 2015-16,Coomes has an offensive touch that will help replacethe likes of Adam Rockwood, Bo and Canon Pieper,and captain Ryan Rosenthal.

Like the Piepers and Rosenthal, Coomes was anAmerican coveted by numerous clubs but choseCoquitlam due to the scouting wiles and connectionsof Express head coach Barry Wolff.

With Fredrick of the Metropolitan Junior HockeyLeague, Coomes netted 36 goals and 47 assists in 37games.

Due to his father’s job with Chevrolet, Coomesmoved around a lot growing up — living in Tennessee,Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana andMaryland. Making the transition as ‘the new kid’ wasalways made easier by hockey.

“Playing hockey has certainly helped me make newfriends because hockey teams are a second family tous… I think that hockey became a big part of my lifewhen I was at the stage where my dad and I would goon road trips for hockey every weekend. That was themost exciting part of hockey when I was young.”

With Coquitlam aching for offensive reinforcementsfollowing the spoils of success, Coomes will be ableto establish any role with the team he so chooses. Butfirst, comes the work.

“I consider myself as a power forward. I think I’mcreative in the offensive zone to make plays and burythe chances my team gets. My strengths are being ableto read a play, good shot, and finding the open guy inthe offensive zone,” he said.

Coquitlam’s camp kicks off Aug. 29.
