Rocking out in Port Coquitlam’s Lions Park Trash regfines bear necessity

Two men die in local lakes

Cities increasing enforcement due to bear activity

By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Tri-City bylaw officials are stepping up enforce-ment of garbage regula-tions after an increase in bear activity across the region last month.

Drake Stephens , Coquitlam’s urban wild-life co-ordinator, told The Tri-City News night pa-trols will be taking place this week in order to ensure residents are not bringing their garbage bins to the curb too early.

Garbage, recycling and green waste bins are major animal attractants, he said, and cans should

not be set out before 5:30 a.m. on collection day.

He is also reminding residents to use their green bins, which get picked up earlier than garbage and recycling, for all food and compost scraps.

“A lot of people aren’t aware that it is being mandated that all or-ganics have to be in the green can or organic bin,” he said.

Authorities are urging swimmers to be cautious in area lakes and rivers after two young men drowned in separate in-cidents in the last week.

The first occurred a t A l o u e t t e L a ke last Thursday when a 21-year-old Port Coquitlam man drowned shortly before 4 p.m.

He and his friends were in the public swim-ming area when he disappeared under the water.

Emergency officials

said they did not know how long the man was submerged; it’s believed he was under for at least 20 minutes.

He was pulled from the lake by friends and brought to shore.

Nurses on the beach administered CPR before emergency personnel ar-rived.

The man has been identified as Jacob Rutzen Gibbs. He is de-scribed in his obituary as a devout Canucks fan who loved the outdoors, road hockey, the Grouse Grind and Vanilla Coke.

COQUITLAM CITY COUNCIL: JULY 22, 2013 MEETINGHOW THEY VOTED

Off-duty PM cop pepper-sprayed

A Port Moody police officer received medical at-tention after he was doused with bear spray while making a suspected drunk-driving arrest while off duty.

According to PMPD, the officer was on his way to work when he noticed a car weaving into oncoming traffic. At one point, the vehicle stopped on the high-way while the passenger and driver switched places.

The officer notified police dispatch and continued to follow the vehicle into a parking lot, where the suspects got out of their car.

“The officer was now confronted by four people,” said PMPD Sgt. Brad Sheridan in a press release. “When asked for identification, the driver produced a canister of bear spray and sprayed the officer in the face.”

The four occupants ran away and, despite the ef-fects of the spray, the officer was able to apprehend one of the men.

Coquitlam RCMP officers arrived a short time later and a police dog was brought in. Two men were found sitting in a vehicle a few blocks away and a third man was arrested a short distance from the scene.

The officer who was sprayed received medical treatment for the exposure to the spray. Coquitlam RCMP are still considering charges in the incident.

PoCo woman may face riot charges

Vancouver Police are seeking charges against another 27 suspected Stanley Cup rioters, includ-ing and a Port Coquitlam woman

It’s the final bulk batch of charges VPD say they’re requesting related to the night of mayhem and violence more than two years ago in down-town Vancouver.

Among the suspects is a 25-year-old PoCo woman who is accused of punching another woman in the face who tried to protect an un-marked police car in the hours after the Canucks lost the Cup final. Police say the Good Samaritan suffered facial and dental injuries while the at-tacker was also caught on video entering The Bay.

Although large batches of charge recommenda-tions are no longer expected, the VPD says further charges may come one or two accused at a time.

“For those rioters out there that believe they can wait us out and hide from us and be disguised with anonymity, we will find you and you will be brought to justice,” VPD Supt. Dean Robinson said.

Police have sought a total of 1,204 charges against 352 rioters.

Construction in City Centre brings lots of pile driving

By Janis WarrenTHe Tri-CiTY News

The ongoing thud of pile driving in Coquitlam City Centre will continue for a few more years, city council heard last week.

Besides the spurt of highrises going up, pile driving will also be needed down Pinetree Way to sup-port Evergreen Line col-umns and stations, said Maurice Gravelle, the city’s strategic initiatives general manager.

The issue of pile driv-ing came before council-in-committee on July 15 when building permits manager Doug Vance spoke about the number of complaints the city re-ceives and its attempts to lessen the hammering.

In July 2010, council changed the noise bylaw to allow pile driving on

Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. instead of 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. to respond to resi-dents’ and business own-ers’ concerns. As well, the city hired a geotechnical engineer to consider al-ternate pile driving tech-nologies.

In the City Centre, pile driving is required in some areas — such as

along Pinetree — to lay a deeper foundation; how-ever, three blocks away, pile driving may not be needed because of the dif-ferent soil conditions.

For example, at 1123 Westwood St., where Onni plans a 33-storey tower, the company will be using other founda-tion measures; at other

sites, such as at Cressey’s M2, a preloading of the property will be enough while pile driving will be required for its 44-sto-rey M3 project at 1188 Pinetree Way.

Vance said city build-ing permits staff have been meeting early with developers and contrac-tors to find ways to miti-

gate the pounding.Recently, Bosa used

sound-dampening pads for two test piles at 3007 Glen Dr. but the differ-ence was only five deci-bels, he said. However, through a reassessment, Bosa has concluded it will need 20% less piles for its site, Vance said.

Vance recommended council not regulate the type of technology used by designers. If it inter-feres, he suggested, it could open the city to lia-bility in the event of build-ing failure.

He said one solution is for the developers and contractors to communi-cate better about the con-struction schedule, and have a liaison available to answer any pile driving concerns.

Mayor Richard Stewart said City Centre will face growing pains for many years. “Our City Centre is going to be magnificent but these are the early days and there will be challenges,” he [email protected]

A massive daycare planned for Burke Mountain is getting mixed reviews from neighbours but high marks from Coquitlam city council.

On Monday, follow-ing a public hearing, city council granted second and third bylaw read-ings to change the land use at 3486 Wessex Crt. for the daycare that, if approved, would accom-modate up to 74 toddlers

and pre-schoolers.The vacant, 22,200-sq.

ft. property was consoli-dated from three lots to build the facility, which many city councillors say will be needed given the number of young families now living on the moun-tain.

Raymond Nothstein, development manager for Wesbild, which owns the land, told council the daycare will be an “important community amenity” and close to a future elementary school in the Smiling Creek

neighbourhood. There is also more parking than required in the bylaw and the operators will live up-stairs, he said.

But some Burke resi-dents said the daycare will stick out like a sore thumb because of its size. They also voiced concern about traffic problems, lack of sufficient parking for the parents and 12 staff, and safety concerns.

“I can really see this as a really dangerous acci-dent point,” said Harper Road resident Bob Ruskin, referring to the

intersection of Wessex and Princeton Avenue, a collector road.

He also said the pro-posed design for the dou-ble single-family home won’t fit in with sur-rounding builders’ work.

Antonio Proietti, presi-dent of the Northeast Coquitlam Ratepayers’ Association, also wrote a letter to council about the lack of information avail-able about the daycare to new buyers in the area.

But longtime Burke resident Brian Walton supported the bid, say-

ing the daycare will be in high demand.

Coun. Brent Asmund-son, who also lives on Burke, said the builder has tried to make the daycare blend in and said, “I think it will fit in the neighbourhood very well.”

Coun. Craig Hodge, another Burke resident, told The Tri-City News on Tuesday that many Burke families have both par-ents working “and this is something that we really need up here.”[email protected]

The B.C. Real Estate Association is offering a $10,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the May attack on a realtor in Port Coquitlam.

Coquitlam RCMP an-nounced last Wednesday that investigators were seeking a suspect in a sexual assault that oc-curred during a May 4 open house at a home on Rowland Street. The realtor did not suffer any physical injuries and was able to convince the man to leave the home.

The suspect is de-scribed as an Asian man in his mid-30s, with dark hair and eyes with some bumps on his face; at the time of the incident he was wearing a T-shirt, jeans and running shoes.

La ing sa id that BCREA is advising all re-

altors to take precautions when conducting their open houses and make sure to use an office or public space when meet-ing with clients.

On Tuesday, Coquitlam

RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said a number of tips have come in after police issued a sketch of the sus-pect.

“We are asking you to continue to call us if they know who this guy is,” he said. “We will follow up with every single tip.”

Anyone with any information on the as-sault is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2013-12208. Anyone wishing to pro-vide information anony-mously can do so by calling Crime Stoppers a t 1 - 8 0 0 - 2 2 2 - 8 4 7 7 (TIPS) or going to [email protected]

Talk to the neighbours, council tells developersCouncil turns down an Austin Heights proposal

By Janis WarrenTHe Tri-CiTy News

Developers who don’t talk with Coquitlam neighbours about their construction plans will likely run into a road-block when their bid comes up for debate, city council said this week.

Council issued the stern warning Monday following a public hear-ing when several Austin Heights homeowners complained they hadn’t been consulted about a developers’ bid to sub-divide two Haversley Avenue lots and build four narrow houses on the dead-end street.

Residents in the sin-gle-family home area, off Schoolhouse Street, said the new houses would be out of character and they said they’re worried about extra traffic, on-street parking, safety and the possible removal of mature trees. They also submitted a letter to op-pose the development.

Th e s u b d i v i s i o n proposal comes two

years after city coun-cil passed the Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan, which calls for 5,000 more residents in 2,500 more homes be-tween Blue Mountain and Linton streets, and Foster and Rochester av-enues.

Under the official community plan, the Haversley site is also in an area designated for more affordable housing.

Still, despite its growth policy, council said the planned subdivision wasn’t a good fit, espe-cially given many sur-rounding homeowners were undergoing signifi-cant renovations.

Speaking on behalf of the applicants, plan-ner Graham Farstad of the Arlington Group said the area is attrac-tive and they “want to contribute and add” to

the diverse neighbour-hood that already has 33-ft. lots nearby as well as the Hillside community church directly south.

But asked by Mayor Richard Stewart when he had been hired by the applicants, Farstad responded, shaking his head, “This morning” — a comment that irked many city councillors.

During the council meeting later, councillors took aim at Farstad and the four applicants.

“There was no com-munity engagement,” said Coun. Terry O’Neill, who added the develop-ers “had the neighbours doing the guessing work” about what was to be built.

“The deve lopers should have really gone into the neighbourhood to get the pulse,” Coun. Brent Asmundson said,

a d d i n g the de-velopers now have a “trust i s s u e ” with the commu-nity.

Coun. Mae Reid said she was “proud to be a Coquitlamite” to see how residents could rally.

“This is how to get a project rejected,” Mayor Stewart cautioned the crowd. “I tell develop-ers all the time to talk to their neighbours… You ignore the neighbour-hood at your peril.”

On Tuesday, Farstad told The Tri-City News he had yet to hear from the developers about their next steps. “Clearly, there wasn’t enough neighbourhood consulta-tion,” he said.

Meanwhile, city coun-cil on Monday granted second and third bylaw readings to rezone 945 and 951 Charland Ave., at Blue Mountain Street, in the Austin Heights neighbourhood. Blue Mountain Vistas plan to build a four-storey, 31-unit apartment block south of the Petro-Canada gas [email protected]

DEFERRED DEVELOPMENTA controversial proposal that would see one

side of a Burquitlam street lined with 107 town-homes as well as add a five-storey, 99-unit apart-ment building was deferred on Monday.

Coquitlam city council is expected to decide on the proposed Intracorp development at its July 29 meeting, the final council meeting be-fore a month-long summer break.

Low Intensity Laser Therapy

Say goodbye to pain.

Low intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, non-toxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminous and laser diodes.

Trash fines up to $500“If we could just get

people to participate in that, there would be less food available.”

With night patrols stepping up, Stephens said it is likely that some warnings will be issued to residents for bring-ing trash to the curb the night before pickup day.

Fines aren’t generally necessary, he said, and people comply once they have received more in-formation on the impor-tance of securing their garbage.

But those who fail to take the warnings seri-ously could face a $500 fine.

Port Coquitlam will also be stepping up its enforcement and fines of $150 can be levied to residents with unsecured waste or animal attrac-tants on their property.

The city noted that 98 bear sightings were re-ported in June, which is up from 50 in May. Last month’s calls included 12 reports of bears eating garbage and two of ag-gressive bears.

PoCo city staff will be stepping up enforcement on the city’s north and

south sides but will pay particular attention to neighbourhoods with the most bear activity. Those areas include north of Lougheed Highway along with the Nacht Avenue and McPherson Drive neighbourhoods to the south.

Under PoCo bylaws, residents must secure their garbage and food scraps in either a wild-life-resistant enclosure like a garage or shed, or by using a city approved wildlife-resistant lock.

Carts must be set out between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. on collection day and must be re-secured by 7 p.m. that evening.

Port Moody also lev-ies fins against residents with unsecured garbage. A person who takes their garbage cans to the curb before 5:30 a.m. will re-ceive a warning for the first offence, a $50 fine for the second offence, a $100 fine for the third of-fence and a $150 fine for the fourth offence.

IF YOUSEE A BEAR

• Stay calm, stand still and as-sess the situation. Remember: bear attacks are uncom-mon.

• Speak to the bear in a calm, firm voice. You voice helps identify you as human.

• Back away slowly and never run — running may trigger pursuit.

• If a black bear attacks, use bear spray if you have it and fight back. Do all that it takes to let the bear know you are not easy prey.

Public NoticeFUNDING AVAILABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEB REGULATORY

PROCESS REGARDING THE TRANS MOUNTAIN EXPANSION PROJECT

National EnergyBoard

Office nationalde l’énergie






Office nationalde l’énergieThe National Energy Board (NEB or Board) will make funds available under its Participant Funding Program

(PFP) to assist directly affected persons to participate in the regulatory process of the proposed Trans Mountain Expansion project.

Trans Mountain ULC intends to seek Board approval to expand the existing Trans Mountain pipeline system from its current capacity of 300,000 bpd (barrels per day), to approximately 890,000 bpd. The application is expected to be filed with the NEB in late 2013. For more information on this project, please visit www.neb-one.gc.ca, where you can sign up for process and PFP updates via e-mail.

The NEB will hold public information sessions in fall 2013 in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline to explain the Participant Funding Program and the hearing process.

Funds will be made available to help persons who are directly affected or have relevant information or expertise review and comment on a project application to be submitted by the proponent, Trans Mountain. Funding must be used to prepare for and participate in the hearing process, which will be announced by the Board at a later date. To receive funding, all approved recipients will be required to apply to participate and be granted intervenor status in the NEB’s regulatory process for this project.

A funding review committee, independent of the regulatory process, will consider all applications for funding and make recommendations on the allocation of funds.

Funding applications can be submitted beginning now until 60 days after the Board releases its list of intervenors. The hearing date has not yet been set, as an application has not yet been filed. When the NEB sets a hearing date, that information will be made public. Funding will only be awarded for hearing related activities conducted after your PFP application has been approved. Please review the Participant Funding Program Guide to determine when and how to apply for funding and what funding will cover.

Interested persons are encouraged to review information on the proposed project before submitting an application. This information, as well as the Participant Funding Program Guide, the Application for Funding Form and the Contribution Agreement can be found on the Board’s website (www.neb-one.gc.ca) under Public Participation.

“The investigation into the drowning is in its early stages, therefore it is too early to say what the cause was,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop with Ridge Meadows RCMP.

A second drowning occurred at Sasamat Lake on Sunday, when a swimmer in distress was pulled from the water.

The 24-year-old man, who has not been identi-fied, was said to be in critical condition after he was airlifted to hospital from White Pine beach. But the B.C. Coroners Service confirmed Monday that the man had died.

Park goers helped pull the victim to shore, where park staff and police, who arrived shortly after 1:30 p.m., were able to conduct CPR.

“This person was airlifted to hospital,” said Barbara McLintock, a coroner with the service. “Unfortunately, he didn’t make it. Our investiga-tion is quite in the preliminary stages.”

• A service was to be held today (Wednesday) for Rutzen Gibbs. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Canuck Place in his memory.

Rash of car break-ins on the PlateauBy Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam RCMP is reminding residents to be diligent about lock-ing up their vehicles and securing their valuables after 12 thefts from au-tomobiles occurred Sunday night in the

Westwood Plateau area.Cpl. Jamie Chung said

that of the 12 reports, “eight vehicles were not properly secured, allow-ing thieves to gain easy access and rummage through the inside. The other four vehicles had their windows broken.”

A briefcase with a wal-

let and firearms license inside, a GPS device, a golf bag and clubs, a video camera, purse and loose change were just some of the items were taken in the spate of thefts.

“Residents are advised not to leave anything in their vehicles and to lock

all doors and close all windows,” Chung said. “A vehicle that is not properly secured signals thieves there are easy targets in the area and puts all other nearby ve-hicles at risk.”

Parking in well-lit areas can also reduce in-cidents of theft and ga-

rage door openers, house keys and vehicle regis-tration should not be left in an unattended auto-mobile.

Coquitlam Mounties are asking anyone who is a victim of theft from a vehicle to report the crime by calling 604-945-1550..

No Detroit comparisonsB.C.’s pooled risk model one of many differences

By Jeff NagelBlaCk Press

Alarm over the city of Detroit filing for bank-ruptcy protection has Metro Vancouver officials assuring taxpayers that cit-ies here are on much safer financial footing.

The largest-ever finan-cial collapse of a major U.S. city has sparked a call for a checkup on public debt levels here.

All B.C. cities ex-cept for Vancouver do all their borrowing through the Municipal Finance Authority of B.C., which holds a triple-A credit rat-ing that rivals those of the strongest Canadian prov-inces.

“We’re very different from Detroit,” Metro fi-nance committee chair Richard Walton said. “We’re extremely cautious bor-rowers.”

He was responding to a request at the committee’s Friday meeting from Delta Mayor Lois Jackson for more detail on the risk to taxpayers of a similar mu-nicipal default.

“It’s a totally differ-ent situation,” White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin added.

A key difference is that unlike American and most Canadian cities that borrow

individually, B.C. munici-palities share responsibility for repaying debts through the MFA. Each city cross-guarantees the others, so borrowers consider it much less risky to lend to them and are willing to do so at lower interest rates.

No city in Canada — not even Toronto or Montreal — borrows at lower rates than B.C.’s smallest towns, said MFA chief administra-tive officer Robin Stringer. That has saved B.C. tax-payers billions of dollars since the MFA formed in 1970 and there has never been a default in B.C. in those 43 years.

And even though the MFA’s pooled-risk model is the envy of many other re-gions, it remains basically unique in North America.

Stringer said it was forged in the final years of Premier W.A.C. Bennett’s government at a time of great “cooperative spirit”

in B.C. And he’s not sure it could be repeated today.

“If you said ‘Municipality A, you’re going to be on the hook through this mecha-nism for Municipality B,’ I’m not certain that would fly so easy today.”

B.C. might not have de-veloped as it did if small mining and forestry towns — dependent on one big employer — had been forced to borrow on their own at much higher inter-est rates.

Stringer said numerous safeguards and regulations apply here that are differ-ent from the U.S.

“It is much more of a wild west show there,” he said. “We’re much more conservative.”

In B.C., cities cannot budget to run a deficit nor can they borrow more than 25% cent of their sus-tainable revenues — and Stringer noted no B.C. mu-nicipality even comes close to that cap.

Additionally, MFA with-holds one cent of every dollar it borrows for a debt reserve fund, now at $114 million, which would help bail out any city that runs into financial distress. It has never been used but can be replenished through taxation if it is ever tapped.

Borrowing requests by a local city must be scruti-nized and approved first by the regional district board and then by MFA.

Other differences in the U.S. are the voter refer-enda that sometimes force

caps on taxes, putting cities closer to the edge of failing to cover debts.

Walton also noted that while highly regulated ca-reer professionals manage municipal finance in B.C., equivalent treasurer jobs in U.S. cities are often elected positions, sometimes put-ting vote-chasing, incom-petent or corrupt decision-makers in charge.

Still, Delta’s Jackson in-sists Detroit’s failure has the public worried and she asked for a breakdown of per capita and per property local government debt.

Surrey wants to borrow $67 million from MFA for a new Grandview Heights pool and Fleetwood recreation centre, and Coquitlam is seeking nearly $18 million. Even with the extra debt, Surrey would be at less than 20% of its MFA-imposed debt servicing limit and Coquitlam would be at 26% of its cap.

R i c h m o n d M ayo r Malcolm Brodie, who sits on the MFA board, said Metro has been scrutiniz-ing such requests more closely as they have grown in size.

“Far more rigour is put into this than was in the past,” he said. “It’s impor-tant to all of us that there not be a default.”

Metro directors endorsed the Coquitlam and Surrey requests to MFA and di-rected staff to get answers to Jackson’s questions.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A church and ban-quet hal l p lanned for Port Coquitlam’s Dominion Triangle re-ceived overwhelming support from the peo-ple who spoke during a public hearing on the development Monday night.

Most of the resi-dents who attended the meeting were parish-ioners with Riverside Community Church, the proponent.

“Our programs have outgrown the size of our building,” said Derrick Sanderson, a youth pas-tor at the church, which is currently located at Lougheed Highway near Coast Meridian. “I’m looking forward to the new facility.”

The development breaks up the property at 2220 Fremont St., 579 Nicola Ave. and 570 Dominion Ave. into three parcels.

One area would have a principle church building, including a small book store and a cafe with a maximum of 20 seats.

The second area would hold a com-mercial banquet facil-ity with a floor area of 9,149 sq. ft. that would be capable of holding up to 600 seats. A third area would be devel-oped by ConWest and contain seven acres of industrial space.

David Earhardt, a pa-rishioner, said the de-velopment will not only offer a place of wor-ship for members of the church but a facility the

rest of the neighbour-hood can enjoy.

“Yes, it is a church,” he said, “but we are very committed to the idea of the church being part of the community.”

All of the councillors present voted in favour of the development (Mayor Greg Moore re-cused himself from the proceedings because his wife works for the church and Coun. Dean Washington was not present for the meeting).

Coun. Mike Forrest noted that while the city will not receive the same tax revenues it would have had the land been developed completely as industrial, there are non-monetary benefits that come with the church proposal.

Even with a reduced number of industrial acres, it is estimated that 200 jobs will be cre-ated when the develop-ment is built out, includ-ing the seven acres of industrial land still in-cluded.

“It’s a balancing act,” Forrest said. “It’s pre-sented here in some bal-ance and we hope to get some of the outcomes we expect from the [in-dustrial portion of the property].”

Fourth and final read-ing of the proposal will take place at a future council meeting.

A sluggish economy and historically low in-terest rates are being blamed for weak returns from the city of Port Coquitlam’s investment portfolio.

In 2012, the city managed a rate of return of 1.93% on the more than $93 million it has in-vested in term deposits — funds that will eventu-ally be used for future capital projects.

That is slightly higher than the 1.85% return the city received the previous year but is a long way from the 4% to 5% range achieved prior to the recession, according to a report outlining PoCo’s investments for 2012 that was brought before the finance and intergovernmental com-mittee on Monday.

But while investment returns have not been great in the last few years, Richard Wells, the city’s interim director of corporate services, said the funds are keeping pace with infla-tion.

“If the inflation rate is going up 2%, we are equal with our purchasing power,” he said.

Since 2008, when PoCo’s investment returns hovered around the 4% mark, the city’s portfolio has not broken 2% per year, hitting an all-time low of just under 1.5% in 2010.

After climate scientist-turned-Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver had a

taste of debate in the B.C. legisla-ture, I asked him for his impres-sions on that and other issues. Excerpts from that discussion:

Tom Fletcher: You did a study comparing burning all the world’s coal reserves and all oil reserves, showing how big coal really is. The federal government says that when you add up what’s actually being used in North America, carbon emissions from coal are about 30 times more than from oil. Now we have a symbolic coal export ban in Vancouver, which doesn’t apply to Port Moody or Point Roberts or Prince Rupert. Do you think there’s any significance to this?

Andrew Weaver: There is no question that the biggest issue around is coal because coal use is on the rise worldwide. Not in the

United States because they’re converting [power production] to natural gas. This is why American producers are saying, ‘Let’s ship it to Asia.’ California says no, Oregon says no, Washington says no. Vancouver says no, British Columbia, not sure.

It’s pushing us to start thinking about what I think is going to be the greatest industrial revolution the world has ever seen, which is transformation of energy systems away from our combustion approach, which is essentially what we’ve been doing since we were in caves. We’ve gone from burning wood to now fos-sil wood, and fossil plants and fossil algae, to a much more modern era of production of energy through natural means, solar, wind, geothermal, etc.

Fletcher: Liquefied natural gas. The NDP says they are absolutely in favour of that now...

Weaver: I have questioned the economics of it from day one. There’s a market differential that exists now. There’s that small window be-cause Japan is moving from nuclear to natural gas. But we’re way behind everyone else.

Fletcher: Thirty years ago, Japan played Australia and B.C. off for metallurgical coal. Those northeast B.C. coal mines are back up and running again but you’re seeing a similar thing here?

Weaver: Yes. And if we start shipping natu-ral gas to Asia… the Asian price comes down, the North American price goes up. British Columbians haven’t been told that.

Fletcher: How has the legislature session been for you?

Weaver: I sit there and watch the two par-ties: Rhetorical question, condescending answer. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. And I hope more British Columbians watch this because this needs to change. And I think it can change.

Fletcher: The NDP opposition decides when you and Delta South independent Vicki Huntington get your occasional moments in question period?

Weaver: Yes and if I’ve asked, it’s been no problem.

Fletcher: Grudgingly, no doubt. If the NDP had their way, the closest Green Party member would be in Holland.

Weaver: [Laughs] Yes. Certainly not in North America. There’s this sense of entitle-ment within the NDP to the ‘green’ vote. And I sense that the BC Liberals very much like our existence, as being not NDP. The reality is, we take as many Liberal votes, if not more. It’s because what it means to be ‘green’ has moved out of what the NDP view as green, which is a tree hugger. It’s kids going to school, talking about conservation and going home to talk to their parents. That’s where our votes are com-ing from.

Fletcher: Are you going to be found standing in front of a coal train any time soon?

Weaver: No, never. They asked me to and I said no because I don’t believe in civil disobe-dience.

Green MLA speaks about coal and controversy

Play if safe this summerSummer seems to be the season of senseless ac-

cidents.A jogger is hit by a train at a busy and well-

marked crossing along White Rock’s waterfront. A child falls from a window left open to capture a cooling breeze. A swimmer dives into a shallow pool of water and never resurfaces. These kinds of tragedies seem to happen year after year.

And they especially resonate because they often in-volve people doing activities we’re all pursuing in the halcyon days of summer. Enjoying the outdoors. Being active. Getting away. Staying cool.

But just because we’re slowing down to enjoy the sea-son doesn’t mean we can let down our guard.

Traffic may be diminished but it’s still dangerous.The water at the swimming hole may be inviting and

refreshing but dangers lurk beneath the surface.Beers on the back deck or campsite are just as intoxi-

cating as those consumed in the pub on a Friday night.Of course, more people are out and about, enjoying

the sunshine and warm temperatures, so the odds are more accidents are likely to occur. But the zeal to get out, to maximize our enjoyment of these months before the winter rains and chill settle in again sometimes lead to lapses in judgment.

Seemingly inconsequential acts like leaving a win-dow open, rolling a stop sign, not looking both ways before crossing a street, ignoring a prominently placed warning notice can come with huge consequences — sometimes even fatal ones.

British Columbians love the outdoors, partly because there’s so much of it at our doorstep and it’s so beauti-ful, partly because we spend so much of the year seek-ing shelter from it when rain and snow fall from the sky.

Just remember to be careful out there.– The Burnaby NewsLeader (Black Press)

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside


TRI-CITYTRI-CITY leTTeRssimple view of DTesThe Editor,

Re. “Radia: Maximize good in Van’s DTES” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, July 18).

Like others, Andy Radia’s thoughts regard-ing the Downtown East Side gentrification debate lack context. The colum-nist sees the issue as noth-ing more than developers and restaurant owners pit-ted against anti-capitalism activists — a common viewpoint.

Things are not so sim-ple or black and white.

Missing from Mr. Radia’s argument is the discussion about af-fordable housing on the DTES. Both the provincial government and city of Vancouver have commit-ted to build more afford-able housing in the neigh-bourhood. Unfortunately, their actions have not kept pace with their promises and deadlines.

Without these afford-able housing units, people with nowhere to go are currently being displaced as a result of gentrifica-tion. It is only because this housing stock has not kept up to targeted levels that development and capi-talism have become bad words.

As for the columnist’s

idea of homeless and low-income individuals mov-ing to the suburbs to take advantage of cheaper rent, it is also a simple notion.

Much-needed services, housing and shelters have established themselves in the DTES neighbourhood over the last 40 years as the demand has grown. Aside from Vancouver, New Westminster and the North Shore, many

of those services and fa-cilities do not exist in ad-equate supply in other Metro Vancouver cities. This is mostly the result of city councils and resi-dents erecting roadblocks, even though these re-sources are needed in the community.Michael McQuillan, Communications Manager, Lookout Emergency Aid Society

Stolen package only valuable to familyThe Editor,

To the person who stole the package off my par-ents’ front porch last week on Westwood Plateau:

The UPS package you took, perhaps by accident, really contained nothing of value to you. It con-tained my brother’s graduation photos and certifi-cate from his master’s studies.

We are incredibly proud of him for his accom-plishments. He went to hell and back to get his degree. He worked two jobs and many overnight shifts to pay his way through school on his own.

That piece of paper is worth nothing to you but means everything to us.

Our grandparents will be heartbroken that they will not get to see his graduation photos because their frail health prevented them from going in person.

Please return our package — no questions asked. You know where we live. Marie Ang, Coquitlam

TransLink isn’t alone in looking at road pricing as a source of new revenue.

Toronto’s regional transpor-tation authority is among several Canadian jurisdictions that have studied the possibility and it has just proposed a slate of new funding tools.

None of them is comprehensive road pricing of the sort that has been bandied about by Metro Vancouver mayors, where motorists would pay a fee — at least at peak times and possibly varying based on conges-tion levels — to travel any significant distance.

Bruce McCuaig, president and CEO of the Metrolinx authority in Greater Toronto, said his planners support the road pricing concept but

decided against it for now.“While we have very good rapid

transit service into downtown Toronto, we don’t have the choices available in other parts of the re-gion,” he said Frodau at a TransLink-organized panel discussion with counterparts from Vancouver and Montreal. “We felt that we needed to invest more in building those rapid transit choices in some of the more suburban areas before we could move towards a comprehensive road pricing program.”

Toronto has proposed to raise $2 billion a year for transit through an increase in the HST in the region, along with higher fuel taxes, a levy on non-residential parking stalls and increased development charges.

The one variant of road pricing Toronto intends to pursue is con-verting HOV lanes to HOT (high oc-cupancy/tolled) lanes where those

who opt to pay a toll can use the lanes along with HOV users to by-pass congestion.

“That’s intended to help expand the system,” McCuaig said in an in-terview.

He said Metrolinx will use the HOT lane toll revenue to increase the network of HOV lanes from 69 km now to about 450 km over the medium to long term in the Greater Toronto/Hamilton area.

“We see that as a significant way to introduce a choice to the travel-ing public, that they can get a higher level of service if they pay a pre-mium.”

TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said HOT lanes aren’t seen as a signifi-cant part of the solution to the long-term transit financing conundrum in Metro Vancouver.

“There may be some applications but not to the degree of the system-

wide application in the Toronto area,” Jarvis said.

Metro Vancouver mayors have so far suggested a vehicle levy, a small regional sales tax or a share of car-bon tax fund future transit expan-sion, including new rapid transit lines to UBC and through Surrey to Langley and White Rock.

Road pricing is seen as the ulti-mate and most powerful tool — not just raising money but also shaping travellers’ behaviour and including time-of-day price signals — but it’s assumed it would take several years to flesh out.

TransLink has said it also intends to take the time-of-day pricing con-cept to transit fares as well, charging riders less at off-peak times com-pared to rush hour.

The Metro Vancouver mayors’ council heard last week of another approach that has already been

tested on a pilot basis in Oregon. Mayors’ council chair Richard Walton said that state is moving ahead with a further test of up to 5,000 vehicles that will voluntarily pay 1.5 cents per mile travelled and have all their gasoline taxes reim-bursed.

He said the intent is to eventually replace the state’s gas tax with a per-mile road usage charge.

TransLink’s gas tax has lately proven to be an inconsistent source of funding, prompting regional of-ficials to look to other options.

Fuel taxes are expected to wane as a viable source given trends of residents to take transit or other non-car travel options; fuel up out-side the region, where lower taxes apply; make shorter trips as more people live closer to where they work; or, over time, buy electric cars.

A Coquitlam woman was awarded $787,500 by a B.C. Supreme Court jury for injuries she sustained in three separate motor vehicle accidents.

The amount was awarded to Katerina Kalvinou and is the largest ever for an injury known as visual vestibular mismatch, a condition that results in dizzi-ness and can affect a person’s motion.

“This has taken a lot of weight off of my shoulders,”

Kalvinou said of last week’s judgement. “This will help me to try to get my life back without having to be a burden to any-one.”

The first accident oc-curred on Sept. 20, 2008, when Kalvinou was stopped at a red light on Barnet Highway at Lansdowne Drive and was hit from behind by a car traveling at 50 km/h.

She took six weeks off from work at the Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics, a research labo-ratory affiliated with the

University of British Columbia.While recovering, she was

struck again in another rear-end collision that occurred in Vancouver on March 9, 2009; the third accident happened in Burnaby on Jan. 5, 2010.

In each of the accidents, the other drivers admitted they were at fault.

The additional collisions re-aggravated her injuries and the 60-year-old Kalvinou was even-tually forced to stop working in early 2012.

She was awarded $325,000 in non-pecuniary damages —

$25,000 less than the maximum allowed under Canadian law — $135,000 for future care and medical costs, and $52,000 for loss of employment income up to the date of the trial.

Another $273,000 was awarded for loss of future earning capacity, an amount her lawyer, Todd Brown of the Port Moody firm Maryn and Associations, said is significant considering Kalvinou’s age. The judgment recognizes that peo-ple are not necessarily retiring at age 65 anymore, he said.

Retired Mountie explores Burke so you can, too

By Gary McKennaThe TRi-CiTy News

During his 30 years with the R C M P, Ly l e

Litzenburger’s writing experience was limited to court affidavits and search warrant docu-ments.

But since retiring, the Port Coquitlam resident has traded criminal in-vestigations for inquiries of another sort, diligently hunting and pecking his computer keyboard to outline his findings.

The result is a com-prehensive guide to 28 hikes on Pinecone-Burke Mountain, meticulously researched to provide everything from GPS co-ordinates and elevation maps to driving directions to the various trailheads.

“It struck us that Pinecone-Burke is kind of a diamond in the rough,” Litzenburger said. “It is so

close but there are not a lot of people that frequent it.

“With so many people moving on to the moun-tain, we thought it would be a very useful tool for a lot of people to properly explore the area.”

Burke and Widgeon: A Hiker’s Guide has 260 pages and features a range of hikes with turn-by-turn trail descriptions for both the novice week-end walker and the expe-rienced hiker.

Some trails described in the book only take about 20 minutes to walk while others can be com-

bined and take a week-end to complete. Each hike in the book is ac-companied with at least one map, with some of the larger routes includ-ing as many as five.

The book also tells hik-ers which areas have cell-phone coverage, a crucial safety tip for anyone ven-turing out into the woods.

Litzenburger said he got the idea for the guide in 2008, most of the ex-ploration work was done in 2009 and 2010, and he began to seriously sit down and write in February 2011.

“It’s sort of like one step forward, two steps back,” he said. “This was my first [writing] venture. If I did it again, it would probably go a lot faster. You make

your mistakes and you waste time that way.”

Copies of the book will arrive next month and he hopes to sell the bulk of them through his website, www.burkeandwidgeon.com, which will be live in mid-August.

While the guidebook is Litzenburger’s first foray into the world of publish-ing, he said it likely will not be his last.

Initially, he hoped to include a few chapters in Burke and Widgeon: A Hiker’s Guide that would cover the history of the park, from its time as a logging area in the early 1900s to becoming the popular recreational des-tination it is today.

“I started getting into the history and I kind of got carried away,” he said. “I looked at old news-paper clippings going back to 1912 and started interviewing people. You’d talk to one person and invariably they would tell you to talk to someone else, and then someone else after that.”

After conducting 71 interviews and spending more than 100 hours in the library researching, Litzenburger has decided he will spin his work into a second book.

He has also collected albums worth of pho-tographs, some of which have never been seen by the public, he said.

But the most rewarding part of research-ing the hikers’ guide and the history project is the people he has met. Litzenburger said he has made friends with members of the Burke Mountain Naturalists and has met a number of lifelong Tri-City residents who have spent years exploring Pinecone-Burke Mountain.

“Interviewing people, that is great,” he said. “They have great stories and great pictures, and everyone has been really nice. I enjoy that part of it so much.”

ADOB will open the Port Moody Youth Arts Festival on Saturday with a few of their original songs plus some cover tunes.

Teens shine for the second annual Port Moody Youth Arts FestivalStories by Janis Warren, photos by Hiu Nguyen

Lucy Shen, Grade 12, is the emcee on Friday night.

Shen shares her passion for the arts

While Port Moody secondary student Lucy Shen will be on stage on Friday, she won’t have any song or dance rou-tine to entertain the audi-ence.

Instead, Shen will use her background as a public speaker to intro-duce the performers.

Being picked to emcee “is really cool,” she said, “because I really love the arts and I think that it’s important for young people to have an op-portunity to display their talent in a public forum,” she said.

Besides the arts, the Grade 12 student is also passionate about social justice causes. In March, with her PMSS friends, she founded Dare to Dream, a club that pro-motes gender equality around the world.

In three months, it raised $400 for the Vancouver Women’s Shelter at a film festival.

And next year, she hopes to collect money for a local cause: the Tri-Cities’ Transition Centre that helps women and children flee abuse.

Ska-funk is in their bloodThree years ago, while play-

ing in their middle school concert band, drummer Eric Bates and bassist Mac Halvorsen founded ADOB.

They soon recruited Theoren Nesbitt for guitar and, a little while later, Francis Henson was brought in for vocals and guitar.

The band was just for fun until they clinched the top prize in a provincial-wide contest for youth bands last year.

“After that we thought, ‘We should keep doing this,’” Henson said.

Since then, the Grade 11 stu-dents have been staple perform-ers at their school — Port Moody secondary — and jamming every chance they can get.

“We like to perform. It’s one of our strengths as a band. We’re just four friends who like to play together,” Henson said.

The foursome write original

ska-funk songs but also like to keep their sets current with cov-ers.

They will open Saturday’s line-up with a 30-minute program, “keeping it as lively and fun and entertaining as possible,” Henson said.

And he hopes the festival au-dience “will find us on the inter-net and join our fan base. We also hope to talk to them afterwards and get to know us better.”

Attendees get a chance to win door prizes each night, including an iPad

Dance, music, visual art and film will be featured by Tri-City teens this week at the

second annual Port Moody Youth Arts Festival.

The two-day event — held as part of the city’s centennial celebrations — is being organized by the Port Moody Arts Centre society board members Hilary Letwin and Fitnat

Fahrner, with the help of Susan Ius who was involved in the inaugural gala last year. Letwin said they tried to offer a varied program to attract a larger audience and “I think it’s going to be a really good showcase

in terms of the different groups out there in our community,” she said.

For the two dozen or so partici-pants, aged 13 to 18, the festival will be a good platform to promote their talent, to make connections with their peers and to build their re-sumes. “It’s really empowering for them,” Letwin said.

And for kids in the crowd, “This is a good opportunity for them to see what teenagers are doing in the arts and in a professional setting. They can really learn from them.”

Working on a shoestring budget, the organizers have had help from

the city, corporate sponsors — in-cluding The Tri-City News — and volunteers to get the event off the ground. There will be plenty of good-ies handed out such as door prizes and iPads. As well, on Friday when Mayor Mike Clay opens the festivi-ties, Rocky Point Ice Cream is donat-ing $1 from the sale of each cone to the festival for its operations.

THE DETAILS• The Port Moody Youth Arts

Festival runs Friday and Saturday from 6 to 10 p.m. at Port Moody city hall. Admission is by donation.

Mayor to open youth fest on Friday

Shawna Lee’s artwork will be displayed in the Galleria at Port Moody city hall until July 29 as part of the festival.

Four pieces on showShawna Lee was in Grade 4 when she first saw

a gallery of children’s art by Tri-City art teacher Evelia Espinosa.

“I thought, ‘Wow, if they can do it then so can I,’” said the 15-year-old Coquitlam resident.

Over the years, she plied her craft and is now being taught privately by painter Melanie Cossey as well as at her school, Archbishop Carney re-gional secondary in Port Coquitlam, under the direction of Linda Reis.

Lee primarily works with acrylics and oils and, for the Port Moody Youth Arts Festival, she will have four pieces on display in the city hall Galleria: an 18-by-24-inch oil reproduction of Hunter Bonyun’s Matter of Time; two acrylic works; and eight slides done pencil crayon, depicting the stages of strawberries being eaten.

Lee said she decided to apply to the festival after one of her friends played music at the event last year.

“I thought, ‘Why not? I can do it, too. It’s a great way to get young artists known in the community and to showcase what I’ve been working on for the past couple of years,’” she said.

Student songbird“Music has always

been really important for me,” Julia Montgomery starts.

“It’s one of the biggest driving forces behind ev-erything I do so when-ever I get an opportu-nity to share it with the world, I want to jump on that because I think it’s really important.”

Now 15, Montgomery said she started vocal lessons when she was in Grade 6 “after my par-ents finally wore down and let me take them,” she said with a laugh.

But while she has been studying musi-cal theatre privately at the Lindbjerg Academy of Performing Arts in Coquitlam, under Elaine Lindbjerg, Montgomery has also been penning alternative tunes of her own.

Her 15-minute set on the Inlet Theatre stage on Friday night will be a combination of pop, musical theatre and her original songs.

Montgomery said she’s grateful for the festival committee for providing “a deeper ap-preciation for the arts and all the talent that’s in Port Moody — espe-cially from the younger people.”

Cultural shakers This will be Lia Fallah’s second

time performing at the Port Moody Youth Arts Festival but the first time with a group.

Last year, the Gleneagle second-ary student did a solo number that wowed the crowds. “I enjoyed it so much,” the Grade 12 student said. “Of course, I wanted to come back!”

For this year’s set, Fallah will be joined by her friends Gabrielle Stocker and Courtney Baines who will dance a wedding celebration to an Iranian groove.

Fallah, who portrays the bride, choreographed the number with her mother and stitched the costumes.

She is a little nervous that Anahita will close the festival on Saturday but is also excited at the opportunity.

As for their next steps, Anahita will learn Irish and Scottish jigs. “We want to know the techniques and styles of all the cultural dances, all over the world,” Fallah said.

Anahita Dance Group closes the festival.

Julia Montgomery, 15, a Port Moody secondary stu-dent, likes to write alterna-tive music.

Make cashnot trash!#ShouldaUsedVancouver

By Dan EbenalThe Tri-CiTy News

T h e C o q u i t l a m Adanacs mounted a late charge Sunday in Victoria to upend the Shamrocks 13-6 and take a two-game lead in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League semifinals.

“A b o u t h a l f w ay through the game we made a goalie change. We put in Pete Dubenski — our goalie that we traded for at the deadline from Nanaimo — and he took the opportunity to step up,” said Adanacs coach Neil Doddridge.

Davide DiRuscio b a c k s t o p p e d t h e Adanacs to a 6-5 lead be-fore Dubenski came in and slammed the door, not allowing another goal until the final min-ute.

“We were trading goals and it was back and forth but we had the edge in play,” said Doddridge. “We decided to change it up a bit and have them shoot on a different type of goalie. Pete’s a very athletic, re-action goalie.”

Wesley Berg (4-2-6) and Reid Reinholdt (1-5-6) led the Adanacs’ offence, who also g o t s c o r i n g f ro m Chase McIntyre (2), Challen Rogers (2), Tyler Garrison, Steven Neufeld and Cole Kryworuchka.

“With the moves we made at the deadline we’re pretty solid on of-fence. We’ve got 10 le-gitimate offensive threats and our defence is kind of coming into its own. We pride ourselves on that and we really brought it up another level towards the end of the first period of Game 2,” said Doddridge.

The Adanacs opened the best-of-five series with a 13-8 win at the Coquitlam Sports Centre Saturday.

“It’s always tough to start a series after 13 days off and I think maybe we were a bit rusty for a period or two of Game 1 but we found our legs and really took it to them Sunday,” said Doddridge.

Vincent Ricci paced the Coquitlam attack Saturday with five goals and an assist, while Reinholdt (4-3-7), Berg (1-6-7), Sam Goodman, Tyler Buchan and Neufeld rounded out the scoring.

“Definitely in both games we were getting contributions from all around,” said Doddridge. “It’s not all about goals, it’s about setting picks as well.”

He was also pleased Coquitlam was able to limit the Shamrocks to just one power play goal in each game despite nu-merous opportunities.

“We ran into a few penalties in both games but our short-man bailed us out to say the least. We’re a young team as well so it’s good to go

through those situations.”Despite playing only

two playoff games so far this season, both Berg and Reinholdt are in the top 10 in playoff scoring

with 13 points. Victoria’s Jesse King is the scoring leader with 9-14-23 in four games.

The series resumes Saturday at 3 p.m. at the

Coquitlam Sports Centre. Game 4, if necessary, will go Sunday in Victoria.

Cards end Reds’ seasonSixteen shutout in-

nings weren’t enough for the Coquitlam Reds to stave off elimina-tion in the B.C. Premier B a s e b a l l L e a g u e (BCPBL) playoffs.

T h e A b b o t s f o r d Cardinals knocked off the Reds 4-1 in Sunday’s Game 3 after the teams had split the first two games of a double-header on Saturday.

Curtis Taylor deliv-ered a masterful per-formance in Saturday’s opener, giving up just one hit and striking out nine over seven in-nings for a 4-0 victory. Max Hollingworth went 2-for-4 at the plate with a pair of RBIs, while Jordan Zazulak and Jonathan Keltie each went 2-for-3 and Austin MacDonald was 1-for-3 with two RBIs.

Ryan Mose picked up where Taylor left off in Game 2, pitching a shut-out into extra innings before the Cardinal bats finally came alive in the 10th.

I t s tar ted inno-cently enough, as Liam Kano-McGregor lifted a towering pop fly be-tween home plate and the mound. Four Reds players converged, but communication proved problematic as all four stood aside and watched the ball hit the grass.

After a sacrifice bunt, Jae Kim ripped a ground-rule double to score pinch runner Joel VanEe. Coleton Besse followed with an RBI single to drive in Kim and make it 2-0.

Daniel Koo, who had come on in relief of Emilio Foden, shut the Reds down in the bot-tom of the 10th, and the series was level at 1-1.

The Cards got an-other terrific pitch-ing performance in Sunday’s rubber match from Kano-McGregor, who kept Coquitlam off the board for six in-nings. Abby made its offensive push in the fifth, as Tanner Rempel

smacked a two-run dou-ble and Kim drove him in with an RBI single. The Cards stretched the lead to 4-0 in the sixth.

Kano-McGregeor got into some trouble in the seventh, giving up two quick singles, but Koo came in to pitch and limited the damage to one run as Abby won 4-1. Keltie took the loss, giving up three runs and striking out four over four innings. Austin MacDonald went 2-for-3 for the Reds, while Kevin Heidema drove in the lone Coquitlam run.

In other BCPBL playoff action, the Vancouver Cannons played the role of giant slayer, knocking off the No. 1 seed Langley Blaze in three games. They’ll be joined at the Final Four by the Nanaimo Pirates (2-0 series winners over the Victoria Mariners) and the Victoria Eagles (2-1 series winners over the North Shore Twins)[email protected]

Trade brings hennigback to the express

The Coquitlam Express are bringing home 18-year-old for-ward Jace Hennig for the 2013-14 B.C. Hockey League season.

Hennig is a Port Moody na-tive who has committed to play for Merrimack College in the fall of 2014. The five-foot-10, 175-pound forward is looking forward to playing in front of his hometown crowd.

“We are very excited to add a player like Jace Hennig,” said Express head coach Barry Wolff. “Though still a young player, he is matur-ing as a person and a player. We feel he has the ability to help our offence in a big way.”

Hennig compiled five goals and 15 points last year in a season split between the Express and Prince George Spruce Kings.

The Express shipped 19-year-old Brent Lashuk to the Spruce Kings in exchange for Hennig. Lashuk came to the Express at the end of last season as part of the future consid-erations in the deal that earlier sent Express captain Mitch Nardi to West Kelowna.

“It was a very difficult decision to move a player like Brent Lashuk, who at the time we thought would play a big role with our hockey team for the 2013-14 season, but it is the tough part of the hockey business, and in this case we had to give up quality to get quality. “ said Wolff.

Ethan Harr is of Coquitlam was among the winners of the Golf Town Comeback Award

for best second-round improvement.

At the B.C. Amateur C h a m p i o n s h i p a t Copper Point Golf Club in Invermere, Kevin (Suk Woan) Ko of Coquitlam used a 6-under-par third round

to finish at even par and tie for 12th place (69-76-64-75—284). Gunntas Sidhu of Port Coquitlam (74-74-68-73—289) and Henry Lee of Coquitlam (73-70-71-75—289) fin-ished tied for 21st at 5 over par.
