Not first arrest for main suspect in crime ringSARAH PAYNETHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Two Port Coquitlam men are facing numerous charges after police busted an elaborate credit card factory, which was heav-ily protected by a variety of weapons, in Citadel Heights last month.

When Coquitlam RCMP officers executed a search

warrant at a home in the 700-block of Capital Court on Feb. 19, they seized:

• equipment for creating identity cards and credit cards;

• 721 pieces of stolen mail from throughout the Lower Mainland;

• a loaded handgun confirmed to have been stolen in a break-in at

Blueline Sporting Goods in December 2012;

• and a shotgun, am-munition and a stockpile of other weapons.

Many of the pieces of mail seen Wednesday in-cluded sensitive financial documents, passports and birth certificates.

There was also nearly $11,000 in cash, a variety of drugs and stolen property, including high-end engi-neering and construction tools, a mountain bike val-ued at $7,000, a motorcycle, computers and more.

“The reason we are

showing these items today is to show the extent to which mail theft has become a crime trend in the Lower Mainland,” Cpl. Scott Grimmer of the Prolific Target Team said at a press conference Wednesday morning dur-ing which he cautioned people to pick up their mail daily. “You can see from the spin-off weaponry and stolen property that the suspects involved in mail theft will spare no expense to get at your mail.”

Rock School’s Sainas heading to Juno AwardsDIANE STRANDBERGTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Teacher Steve Sainas and the Rock School pro-gram at Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox secondary school can add another award, and more stories, to their playbook.

Sainas has been named the 2015 MusiCounts Teacher of the Year, the 10th year this award has been dished out to top teachers who keep music alive. With the award come two chunks of cash — $10,000 for the program and $10,000 for Sainas — and a walk along the red carpet and VIP treatment at the Juno Awards.

Next weekend, Sainas and his wife will head to Hamilton, Ont. to mix and mingle on the red carpet with the likes of Michael Bublé, Drake

and Arcade Fire.But it’s not just attend-

ing next Sunday’s Juno Awards the veteran music teacher is excited about but the opportunity to pro-mote Fox’s Rock School, which has been a fixture on the local music scene with its fundraising concerts and the budding teenage musicians it inspires.

“It’s always been a goal of mine to put a spot-light on the program so I can share it with other teachers,” Sainas told The Tri-City News yesterday. “We’ve been lucky and worked hard with a lot of support from the com-munity to bring about a program that’s financially self-sustaining.”

During a special recep-tion, he’ll get a chance to talk up the program, his colleagues — including Dan Tilsley — and the stu-dents who get so passion-ate and involved in their music and the community that supports them.

One of the men facing charges was also the sub-ject of an investigation two years ago.

A search warrant ex-ecuted on the same Capital Court home in January 2013 revealed a large-scale credit card factory as well as a gun and stolen prop-erty from throughout the Lower Mainland.

Alvin Abhai Chand was charged with four weapons and identity theft-related crimes; he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one year in jail and one year of probation.

Upon his release in early 2014, police said they noticed a spike in criminal activity around his Citadel Heights home, eventually leading officers to target another PoCo man who was arrested on Feb. 11 for allegedly stealing a vehicle as well as other offences.

Items found on the suspect at the time of his arrest included: a large amount of cash; a balaclava, rubber gloves and duct tape; numerous break-in tools; shaved-down vehicle keys; a flash-bang device; and a replica handgun.

Justin Roach, 26, is facing 21 Criminal Code charges including theft, weapons charges, posses-sion of stolen property and possession of a controlled substance.

Chand is now charged with possession of a loaded restricted firearm, possession of another per-son’s identity information for a fraudulent purpose, theft of mail and mischief to a Canada Post box. Police expect more charges to come.

Grimmer said it’s early in the current investiga-tion but it appears similar to the 2013 case, in which Chand was the “master-mind” behind an opera-tion that involved trading stolen mail for drugs and other stolen property, and creating numerous fraudu-lent credit and identity cards.

“What’s disconcerting to police is the increased weaponry,” Grimmer said of the new investigation.

Investigators also noticed the suspect appears to have grown the operation since 2013, which he managed to do in the short time since

his release from prison. Asked whether the

investigation will look into what kind of work Chand might have been doing while behind bars to restart the business, Cpl. Jamie Chung said in an email that police are not at liberty to disclose that in-formation but said, “From our last investigation, we know he’s skillful with technology.”

Police have also not yet ruled out any links of this “very lucrative business” to violent crimes, Grimmer added.

“The days of losing the cash out of your birthday

cards are gone,” Grimmer said. “Mail theft now ex-tends into every property crime incident, includ-ing violent crime, Lower Mainland-wide.”

Investigators have confirmed multiple break-and-enters into homes, businesses and mailboxes in connection with the Citadel Heights factory, noting that neighbourhood was particularly hard hit.

Police reports show the area reported 73 property crimes between Jan. 1 and Feb. 18, or about 10 per week. Since Chand’s arrest on Feb. 19, there have been about half as many.

Both Chand and Roach are in custody and were to next appear in court yes-terday (Thursday).

SFU students get in on referendum

TRANSPORTATION REFERENDUM

Sarah PayneThe Tri-CiTy News

Students in a new Simon Fraser University class are using the upcoming transit plebiscite for some hands-on learning about the con-nection between health and transportation — and how to boost voter engage-ment.

The class, called Health and the Built Environment, gives fourth-year students in SFU’s faculty of health sciences a chance to ex-plore a topical issue that directly affects them, often on a daily basis.

Coquitlam resident Ericka-Jade Mulherin doesn’t drive and relies on the bus and SkyTrain to get from her house near Town Centre Park to school and throughout the region (a commute she describes as “terrible”) but said she hadn’t heard about the referendum until the class started in January.

“I feel like there’s a lot of misinformation about the referendum,” Mulherin said, noting that with strong campaigns on both sides of the debate, it can be hard to understand the heart of the issue. In fact, Mulherin admitted that had she not been studying it in class, she likely would have landed on the No side.

“I don’t like TransLink as a company, so auto-matically I wouldn’t have wanted to do anything to help them,” she said, “but I’ve learned that’s not really what’s at stake.”

What is at stake, she said, is the development of a transit system to meet not only the current popula-tion’s needs but also the significant growth that’s to come.

In their first assignment, students were tasked with writing a blog post on the referendum. Mulherin’s focused on the economic benefits of a Yes vote,

pointing out that at 0.5% PST increase will cost, at most, 35 cents a day for a greatly improved transit system within a decade. Alternatively, she wrote, one could save that money and get a new car — in 237 years.

Classmate Danielle DeVries, who lives in Burquitlam, often uses transit but as a student with two jobs, she skips the complicated connections and drives on days when her schedule is particularly packed.

Her blog is posted on the Sustainable SFU site and aims to cut through the “catch-phrases and dooms-day warnings” to clarify how the tax will work and what the benefits will be for transit users and drivers alike.

And while she acknowl-edges that a sales tax, which will place a greater burden on low-income residents, isn’t the greatest option, it was the best of the four that were examined.

“And the benefits are just so huge,” DeVries said. “We really do need the transit improvements, we need the connections, we need a healthier region.”

Assistant professor Meghan Winters, a former Coquitlam resident who graduated from Centennial secondary school, said the class aims to grow student engagement around the referendum, making sure young people are informed and know how to vote.

“It’s a great opportunity for students to use the en-ergy and enthusiasm they have, and the knowledge

they’ve learned in this class, to apply to a real-life prob-lem,” Winters said. Often, they use the humour typi-cal of a university student, such as comparing the cost of the PST increase to those of a pack of ramen noodles or a few cases of beer a year.

The class, which fo-cuses on the intersection between a city’s built en-vironment and residents’ health, has partnered with CityStudio, a collaborative project that brings together students, stakeholders and Vancouver city staff to address challenges in the city. Students will present their final media project to an upcoming meeting at Vancouver city hall.

Winters said more than 80% of SFU’s students and staff take transit to the Burnaby campus so the need for more frequent service, later night buses and a less sardine-like trip to school and work are keenly felt by many. And she hopes her students’ work is effective in getting their classmates engaged enough to actually vote — no matter how they vote.

“The big issue for stu-dents is that a lot of them are from other places, so they won’t be registered with Elections BC,” or, if they are, it’s likely not with their current address.

“Are they registered? Will they get the ballot? If they get it, will they put it in the mailbox? That’s also a very foreign concept,” Winters joked, noting students often wonder “Why we can’t just do this online?”


SFU TRANSIT TALKSMoving in a Livable Region and Carbon Talks, pro-

grams of Simon Fraser University’s Centre for Dialogue, are two public dialogues on the upcoming transit referendum at SFU’s Surrey and Burnaby campuses on March 9 and 10. Go to www.sfu.ca for more details.

sFU president Andrew Petter (left) is urging a yes vote in the Metro Vancouver transit referendum for the sake of future students. he said there are already huge de-lays for students waiting for buses. he and UBC presi-dent Arvind Gupta said their universities need effective transportation and urged a more informed debate in the referendum.

Cities urged to end seniors’ discounts

PROVINCIAL STUDY

Study argues breaks taxes, fees are unfairJeff NagelBlack PreSS

A new study urges mu-nicipalities to eliminate breaks for seniors on property taxes and fees to use services such as public transit and fitness classes.

The report by munici-pal finance expert Harry Kitchen was released by the Institute for Research on Public Policy.

Kitchen argues it’s time to abandon seniors’ discounts because they in-creasingly benefit wealthy retirees who don’t need the help.

“They were established

at a time when a high per-centage of older residents were living in poverty but poverty rates for seniors have decreased consider-ably compared with those in the rest of the popula-tion,” Kitchen said.

His findings indicate seniors actually have the smallest share of people living in poverty of any age

group in Canada.He recommends grants

and special aid be targeted to all low-income people in need — regardless of their age.

“Those paying a reduced price are effectively subsi-dized by those paying the higher price,” Kitchen says in his study.

Cheap or free services to seniors can also lead to excessive use of services and larger-than-required facilities, it says.

Extra revenue from end-ing blanket discounts for seniors could give cities more flexibility to reduce their reliance on property taxes, he argued.

He warns the inequity of seniors’ discounts will worsen as the population ages and reform will be-come increasingly difficult

as more voters turn 65.B.C.’s homeowner grant

program reduces the prop-erty tax on a principle resi-dence by more if the owner is a senior — the tax reduc-tion is up to $845 per year for seniors but is capped at $570 for those under 65.

TransLink charges seniors $52 for a monthly “concession” pass that’s valid across all zones while other regular adults are charged $170 a month for a pass that’s good for all zones, or $91 for one zone only.

BC Ferries eliminated a major freebie for seniors a year ago: free travel on non-holiday weekdays. Seniors now pay half price on their passenger fare Monday to Thursday.

‘I’m paying it forward in the biggest way,’says Sainas

MUSIC AWARD

“I’ll be able to ac-knowledge all the people who have supported and worked alongside to make it happen,” he said.

As well, Sainas, who is an award-winning roots blues musician himself, will get to participate in a singer-songwriter’s circle.

“It’s a big deal for us,” said Sainas of the weekend of galas, concerts and after parties, noting that he and his wife have already been shopping for clothes, al-though he may also sport a Terry Fox high school t-shirt to at least one function to show his roots.

“This is their award,” he says of his students, “I couldn’t do this without the commitment from the kids who do the shows year after year.

“I’m paying this forward in the biggest way,” he said. “This is my passion.”

For Sainas, the award, especially the cash, couldn’t come at a bet-ter time, because funding is tight for public school music programs across B.C., including in School District 43, where programs have been scaled down or eliminated.

“This year has been

particularly brutal,” said Sainas, who will use the $10,000 cash to buy a new keyboard, a bass guitar and other equipment for Fox’s Rock School, with the other $10,000 going toward a new guitar for himself and to help him get out of his “strike hole” — when teachers didn’t get paid during a strike and lockout last year.

If anyone can make a claim that music educa-tion in public schools is

not a frill but a necessity, it’s Sainas, who credits his own high school music teacher for steering him on the path toward his current career. While it might be a cliché to say that picking up a guitar changed his life, that’s pretty much what happened to Sainas, who describes himself as a shy teen who practised on his old electric guitar in his bedroom closet because he was too embarrassed and self-conscious to make mis-

takes in front of others.Now, he brings that

same sensitivity to the Rock School program, where students of all abilities, even those with learning challenges, are given the freedom to fail and the advice to soar and strut on stage. It’s a lesson that can only be taught by someone who has been down that road and Sainas acknowl-edges he was a kid who just needed an adult guide to have confidence in him and give him a chance.

His own Kitsilano sec-ondary teacher, Charles Arthur Russ, “made me feel important and made me feel good about playing guitar. I didn’t know where it would lead me. I’ve been looking for him because I want to thank him, I’ve never had the opportunity,” Sainas says.

He would like to think the Rock School program can do the same for other kids. The MusicCounts Award suggests it can.

• This is not the first time the Rock School program has been recognized by MusiCounts. In 2009, it won $10,000 for music equipment through the MusiCounts Band Aid [email protected]

Latest deal for a school site on Burke Mountain

TRI-CITY SCHOOLS

Diane StranDBergThe Tri-CiTy News

One key piece of the Burke Mountain puzzle — planning construction of schools — fell into place this week with a land deal that gives School District 43 six acres for an elementary school in the Partington Creek neighbourhood.

On Tuesday, the board of education approved a bylaw that approves a six-acre site for the new school.

And while construc-tion is still a long way off, the deal is good news for SD43, according to Ivano Cecchini.

The district’s head of facilities and planning services has been working for some months on sev-eral projects, including a land deal for Smiling Creek elementary, which will be built first and whose plans still need some tweaks.

But in an interview with The Tri-City News, Cecchini said land acquisi-tion for Partington Creek was able to move forward because the province agreed to a sponsored grant for the entire six acres. Originally, 4.7 acres was proposed but later deemed inadequate as SD43 is now building bigger schools.

“In the end, the prov-ince stepped forward and funded the extra land,” Cecchini said.

Wesbild spokesperson Jen Derbyshire said the school is going in an area

where 137 single-family homes will eventually be built, once zoning is ap-proved, and securing the site is a great relief.

“We actually agreed to sell the land... at what it was when we bought in the 2000s because we were eager to get the school confirmed,” she said, not-ing the developer will also provide the servicing at cost, including servicing for the additional 1.3 acres that was added.

The district can now pro-ceed with an application for the sponsored Crown grant for the entire property, Cecchini said.

For Derbyshire, getting Smiling Creek underway on

Burke is even more impor-tant because it’s slated to be built first and parents in the area are eagerly awaiting it.

“They [parents] are happy to get this news, but the news they really want is when Smiling Creek will start construction.”

Meanwhile Cecchini confirmed that the deal for Smiling Creek elementary, which has a planned 2017 opening date, is still in the works and should be final-ized this spring.

The school district is hoping to have a public meeting in May to lay out its plans for all Burke Mountain schools.

Meanwhile, enrol-ment at Leigh and Irvine

elementary schools closest to new Burke Mountain neighbourhoods continues to grow. According to SD43 stats, Leigh has grown from 285 students in 2010 to 434 in 2014, with the largest jump in enrolment from 2013 to 2014 when 63 new students were added. Irvine, meanwhile, has seen enrolment grow from 347 in 2010 to 445 in 2014, an increase of 98 students.

According to Cecchini, the school district is now building larger elementary schools to accommodate 400 to 450 students, instead of 200 to 250, for program-ming and financial [email protected]

@dstrandbergTC

Diane StranDBergThe Tri-CiTy News

One of Coquitlam’s fastest growing schools will get repairs to ensure watertightness and School District 43 is moving as fast as possible to get most of it done during the summer vacation.

Leigh elementary needs about $1.5 million in repair work on an addition built some time in the late 1980s or early ’90s to ensure it is watertight, and though the work is preventative, it needs to be done quickly, said Ivano Cecchini, who is responsible for facilities and planning services for SD43.

“Absolutely, we have to get it done in summer,” Cecchini said. “The higher the student population, the more difficult to be able to create swing space to be able accommodate the students.”

The issue is the school, with 434 students, is already at capacity and has two portables, with two more

planned for September. Finding room for more por-tables to move students out of classrooms when repair work is being done would be a challenge at that site, he said.

Building envelope work is also being done at another Coquitlam school this spring, Summit middle, but there it’s easier to move portables on site and Cecchini said work will likely being after spring break.

Meanwhile, PoCo’s Riverside secondary, will also be getting about $500,000 in building en-velope repairs, part of a longer-term project, now nearing completion, after water penetration was dis-covered.

Cecchini confirmed that funds have been approved by the province for Summit, which is getting done first, while more study is re-quired on the Riverside and Leigh projects to determine the scope of [email protected]

Big spending for just so-so voter turnout in B.C.the returns are in and some of the 2014 local election

campaign spending isn’t pretty.but first, a quick peek at some of the spending by the

distant cousins that seems to have been lost in the feeding frenzy over those candidate returns.

more than 100 organizations registered with elections bc as third-party sponsors. there were the customary civic-minded groups and others with a bit of self-interest at stake. a few dropped some serious coin.

the Vancouver elementary school teachers’ association spent $67,234, not including its $44,500 in donations, of which $17,500 went to Vision Vancouver.

the bowen island improvement association spent $2,853. West Vancouver citizens for Good Government spent $8,40. a better city Vancouver association spent $9,424.

Woodfibre lnG spent $18,248 in squamish, or the equivalent of $1.43 for every eligible voter. the limit in the provincial riding that includes squamish — West Vancouver-sea to sky — is $3,200, or 8.4 cents per voter.

didn’t work out so well for Woodfibre, though. Patricia heintzman spent all of $11,842 to win the mayor’s chair, de-feating the more lnG-friendly incumbent rob kirkham.

based on its attempt to minimize the scope of its mis-

sive after the fact, kamloops-based ajax mining must have ruffled a few feathers with a letter it sent out during the campaign. in a blog post, the company claimed that it had been sent to “a group of ajax supporters.”

at a cost of $8,605 that was either one very large group or one very long letter. didn’t work out so well for the mine, either, when the results came in.

the silverado Group of companies wasn’t exactly hi-ho-silver on the city administration in courtenay. the company spent $7,810 on ads and it wasn’t on what could be described as a feel-good message.

and then, of course, there was the spending by the mu-nicipal parties and candidates themselves.

Vancouver can always be counted on for the shock num-bers and it didn’t disappoint. Vision Vancouver spent a record $3.4 million and the nPa $2.1 million.

looked at from another perspective: Vision Vancouver spent more than twice the legal limit for a municipal party running a full slate of candidates in montreal — a city with more than twice the number of voters than Vancouver and more than three times the number of positions up for grabs.

it’s why the b.c. government likes to say this is all a

Vancouver problem. but it’s not.across the Pattullo bridge, surrey First dropped $1.178

million on its campaign. had montreal’s limit of $1.50 per voter applied, the cap would have been set at $480,120, and that’s before taking into account the difference in the num-ber of elected positions between the two cities.

With a bit of help from his friends, including the bc liberal party (richmond east) that donated $375 and the Great canadian Gaming corporation, which rolled the dice for $6,025, malcolm brodie spent $140,990 on his re-election bid in richmond. brodie’s spending works out to about $1.14 per voter. in manitoba, his cap would have been set at $53,395, or roughly 43 cents a voter.

Or consider the big spenders vying for the top jobs in abbotsford, kelowna, nanaimo, Prince George, saanich, Vernon and Victoria. all but one of the 15 candidates — Vernon’s new mayor akbal mund — exceeded the spend-ing limits in place in quebec and all but two exceeded the limits in manitoba.

so much for it being a Vancouver problem.something that jumps out when looking at cities that

have spending limits in place: voter turnout. in richmond, it was 32.4% last november; in Winnipeg it was 50.2%.

Mixed messages from studentsit’s tough to stamp out bullying when mean messages

are so easy to send on social media and via texting.schools teach social responsibility but, unfortunately,

some of this teaching is lost once kids enter puberty, a recent survey on adolescent health shows. teasing, excluding and other behaviours still exist between kids and is, in fact. grow-ing, especially among girls, according to the most recent mccreary adolescent health survey.

While teen girls benefit as much as boys from learning about empathy and compassion, they also need to know how anonymous digital communication can hurt people’s feelings.

sexting is becoming a problem, too, according to the sur-vey, with 8% of Fraser north students saying they used their cell phones or similar device to send explicit photographs or messages.

so boys as well as girls are getting into trouble online and parents need to get smart about smart phones and find out what their kids are up to. this isn’t news but it bears repeating as children grow up and new families enter the digital era.

MEGA HOUSES

The Editor,Re. “City has to act on

too large houses” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Feb. 25).

In his letter, Steve Mancinelli spoke with great passion but I am afraid he will be enduring disrespect for our estab-lished neighbourhoods for some time to come.

I find it ironic that the same issue of The Tri-City News included political donation amounts to mayoral and council can-didates in last fall’s civic elections. It seems clear the lack of action to limit the sizes of structures in established neighbour-hoods is being at least somewhat influenced by the real estate firms and developers on that list of donators.

In 2012, every single member of council voted in favour of increasing

allowable lot coverage and most of those people got re-elected. Tied into that 45% allowable lot coverage is the province’s highest allowable roofline height of 36 feet from av-erage grade and no final floor area ratio limit.

At pre-election public meetings, some candi-dates expressed concern about “monster houses.” Are they really? We already know the re-elected ones have a view that most people do not want any action, lest they lose resale value.

I submit that they are wrong and most residents of established neighbour-

hoods are extremely happy with the value they have in good homes that can be paid off, in neighbourhoods that still have trees, shrubs and greenery, with the added comfort of knowing they are not over-taxing our local ecology.

Once Coquitlam has succumbed to 8,500-sq. ft. homes with an additional 7,500 sq. ft. of paving stones, it can never go back.

In 50 years, the value of Coquitlam will be much higher if what is left of our current character is main-tained. We have plenty of new developments made for monster structures — build there and leave alone the rest of us normal folk with normal incomes to live in the neighbour-hoods we chose.Ken Holowanky, Coquitlam

‘gravy train’The Editor,

Re. “Referendum Yes cam-paigners play health card” (www.tricitynews.com).

The Mayors’ Council would like us to believe that voting No to the transit tax will stall the economy, increase our carbon foot-print and even cost lives, a ridiculous claim Vancouver Coastal Health’s Dr. Patricia Daly is even suggesting.

The question we must ask ourselves is why should TransLink be rewarded for bad behaviour? It manages money poorly, overpays its staff and allows people to steal from the system so transit users ultimately pay higher fares to subsidize.

Do people really believe adding one million resi-dents in the next 20 years, purchasing more carbon-spewing buses and building more roads for cars are going to reduce carbon output?

Voting Yes will only keep the gravy train flowing, not transit. It is no small won-der government unions, mayors and especially Translink are in favour of increased taxes. Rick Evon, Port Moody

WHY LNG IN B.C.?

The BC LNG Alliance is the voice of British Columbia’s new LNG export industry. Our mission is to foster the growth of a safe, environmentally responsible and globally competitive LNG industry in British Columbia and Canada.

A SPECIAL SERIES ON LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS

Connect with us: bclnga.ca I 778.370.1392 I @bclnga I BC LNG Alliance in

BRITISH COLUMBIA has far more natural gas

than we use

(( ((

WE’VE GOT NATURAL GAS...

an estimated

2,000 trillion cubic feet

in Northeast B.C.

We have enough to supply local needs

and help meet global demand

In fact, enough to supply LNG export operations and domestic needs for 150 years, so it makes

sense to sell some of it

Natural gas has been produced safely in B.C. for more than 60 years. It is as much a part of our resource wealth as forestry and fishing. And like forestry and fishing, the

natural gas sector provides thousands of stable, well-paid jobs for British Columbians who work for gas producers in the Northeast and for suppliers and service providers throughout the province.

The industry also generates tax revenue to help pay for social services and infrastructure like salaries for nurses and teachers, and new roads, schools and hospitals. But unlike

forestry and fishing, which are now mature industries, natural gas is entering what the International Energy Agency has described as The Golden Age of Gas. Demand is rising rapidly and B.C. is ideally positioned to meet some of it.

Exporting B.C.’s natural gas is nothing new; it was first transported via Vancouver to the U.S. in 1957 and the U.S. has remained our main market ever since. But with the U.S. producing more of its own gas it now makes sense to sell our surplus overseas where there’s a demand. The only difference is that the gas must be converted into a liquid so it can be shipped.

That’s why B.C. is developing a new industry to produce LNG.

China alone expects to use 17.5 trillion cubic feet

of natural gas a year by 2040 – three times more than in 2012

Schoenborn hearing is to resume April 29

CRIME

Sarah PayneThe Tri-CiTy News

Child killer Allan Schoenborn will be back in front of the B.C. Review Board on April 29 for the third day of a hearing on whether he will be allowed to go into the Tri-City com-munity on escorted day passes.

So far, the board has heard from several people involved in Schoenborn’s care, including his case manager, psychiatrist and anger management therapist. The hearing will continue so that Crown counsel Wendy Dawson can introduce evidence from an expert on risk as-sessments.

Last week, Dawson said the expert, Dr. Anton Schweighofer, would testify that there is no verified in-strument or test designed to measure the risk of escape and, therefore, any opinion offered by Schoenborn’s

psychiatrist, Dr. Marcel Hediger, is not based on a particular measurement or expert opinion.

Dawson added that Hediger was relying on the HCR-20, a violence risk as-sessment tool, but he had not provided a written re-port of that assessment for the board to consider.

She urged the Review Board to adopt the methods used by the Correctional Service of Canada, which examines an individual’s criminal record, convictions for escape, history of non-compliance and the offence for which the person has been convicted to assign a low, medium or high secu-rity risk.

But the board ques-tioned the potential rel-evance of Schweighofer’s evidence and why Dawson hadn’t provided a summary of the information earlier.

“It’s relevant to the issue of the risk Mr. Schoenborn

presents to the community versus the opinion offered by Dr. Hediger that it’s on the low side,” Dawson said, adding she hoped the Review Board would exercise “great caution in using five months of good behaviour” in determin-ing Schoenborn’s risk to the public should he be granted day passes.

Schoenborn has been at Coquitlam’s Forensic Psychiatric Hospital since 2010, when he was found not criminally responsible for the murders of his three children — 10-year-old Kaitlynne, eight-year-old Max and five-year-old Cordon — in 2008 in Merritt. He fled after the killings and spent about two weeks hiding in the woods before he was caught.

He has consented to remain in the hospital but has requested escorted day passes.


ROAD SAFETY

Tom FleTcherBlaCk Press

The left-lane-hugging road hog seems to be a species that particularly flourishes in B.C. It can often be seen trailing a line of vehicles on the highway or cutting across lanes of traffic on right turns to get to its preferred habitat.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone says he has spent time in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario, and this inappropriate love of the left lane seems unique to the West Coast. So he’s looking at legal changes to make it easier to enforce the practice of keeping the left lane open for passing.

Stone told reporters Tuesday the issue came up often in last year’s rural speed limit review.

“One of the key things we heard from British Columbians all around the province was this frustration with left-lane hogs, people who tend to camp out in the left lane and seem to think that the left lane and right lane are there to serve the same purposes,” Stone said. “They’re not.”

One result of that review is a new road sign to replace the “slower traffic keep right” and “keep right ex-cept to pass” wording used in B.C. “Keep right — let others pass” with a graphic is the new design and it seems to be having some educational effect, Stone said.

Accident studies have

shown that frustrated driv-ers following too closely or passing on the right are risk factors. Premier Christy Clark said the problem should be dealt with but she added a caution.

“I think we should go a little bit easy sometimes on the folks who are in the left-hand lane going a little bit slow,” Clark said. “I think about my 75-year-old mother driving down the road and sometimes she’s in the wrong lane, and it might be really frustrating for the people behind her. But we should try to be respectful and civil about that.”

Stone declined to give specifics about what legis-lative changes are coming. Police told the ministry last year the existing law isn’t clear and tickets can be overturned in court chal-lenges.

[email protected]

lefT laNe hogs NoT ToP PrioriTy for B.C.’s ToP CoPs

A crackdown on so-called left-lane hogs is not a top priority for B.C.’s top cops despite plans by the province to pass tougher legislation to free up high-way passing lanes.

The BC Association of Chiefs of Police is more concerned about drug-impaired driving and distracted driving, said Transit Police Chief Neil Dubord, who chairs the association’s traffic sub-committee.

“We’re looking at things that can make a differ-ence and save people’s lives,” Dubord said. “This wasn’t one of our top two priorities.”

His association is looking forward to the prom-ised new legislation, he said, but is concerned en-forcement could encourage speeding.

“What’s the message you send by enforcing against someone who’s going the speed limit and not keeping up with traffic?” Dubord asked. “Those are messages we have to be very, very careful on. We don’t want to reinforce to someone that when traffic is moving faster than the speed limit, you can’t go the speed limit.”

Tickets issued under the existing legislation were often challenged and thrown out of court.

Dubord said getting a conviction required an “extreme case” where a left-lane hog showed an ongoing pattern of violating the keep-right rule, not a single incident.

He predicted any improved ticketing power would be of only “limited use” in Metro Vancouver because of frequent congestion and because driv-ers need to use the left lane to exit or turn off some routes, such as Marine Way in Vancouver.

Dubord said it might have some application on highways 99 and 91 but its main use would be on rural highways outside the Lower Mainland.

When we opened Sticky’s Candy – Eagle Ridge on August 15, 2013, we were so incredibly excited but also a bit concerned. Would a candy store be something that the Tri Cities would embrace? Well, our concerns were gone as soon as we

opened our doors. We were welcomed with open arms by this amazing community! Since then, we have been so lucky to have such loyal customers. Everyday I see adults turn into “kids in a candy store” and I love it! You can almost see the memories coming back to them. One of the most loved items in our store is actually not candy though. When people come in and see that we have Pop Shoppe sodas, I hear stories of road trips or camping trips they would take as a child and that was the treat they looked forward to most.

There are so many incredible things that I love about being a business owner but my customers would be at the top of the list. We can’t thank the Tri Cities enough for their support but we will continue to try! Come in and enjoy a walk down memory lane. It’s sure to be a sweet experience.

As much as 144 hectares could be developedGary McKennaThe Tri-CiTy News

Northwest Burke Mountain is mostly wil-derness and rock quar-ries today but the city of Coquitlam has begun the process of examining what the area could look like 30 years from now.

A high-level study of the 400 hectares of land is underway, examin-ing topography as well as geotechnical and environ-mental constraints. The information will be used in the second phase of the visioning process, which will look at options for the area, before a final draft is put together.

But putting roads, parks and houses in the area could be tricky, said Steve Gauley, the city’s acting manager of community planning. High grades and steep slopes run through-out the property and there are significant setbacks from the watercourses in

the area that have to be considered, he said.

Of the 379 hectares, he said between 102 and 144 hectares are considered non-constrained, meaning they could be suitable for development.

The land being studied sits between Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, Upper Hyde Creek, Smiling Creek and Partington Creek neighbourhoods on the north and east sides.

On the western portion of the area sit the quar-ries, some of which may be coming to the end of their lifespan in the coming decades, said Jim McIntyre, the city’s manager of devel-opment services.

Staff said that once the visioning process is com-plete, it will provide the city with guidance for future planning in the area. Public consultation will take place throughout the multi-phase process.

Wear a daisy and raise exploitation awareness

TRI-CITY GIVING & HELPING

A flower representing the innocence of children is the new symbol of the Coquitlam-based Children of the Street Society.

And pins will be dis-tributed next month in the Tri-Cities and elsewhere in B.C. with the goal of rais-ing awareness about the importance of keeping kids safe from sexual exploita-tion.

A fuchsia-coloured daisy — a blend of red for red light districts and purple for violence prevention — has been developed as the province prepares to ac-knowledge Stop the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Youth Awareness Week, March 9 to 13. Groups and individuals are encouraged to purchase the Children of the Street Society fuchsia daisy pin from local merchants or at www.childrenofthestreet.com.

Children of the Street is also celebrating its 20th anniversary with a fund-raising gala on March 5 at the Stanley Park Pavilion. Tickets are $60 each and include appetizers and refreshments; a raffle draw for two WestJet tickets; a live auction for a dinner

for two at Tableau; and a variety of silent auction items, including MAC Cosmetics, accommoda-tion at The Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver, Canucks club seats and a private scenic plane ride, among other things.

Hosted by executive director Diane Sowden, the evening will include a look at the history of sexual exploitation over the last 20 years, a surprise guest speaker and multimedia snippets from the orga-nization’s history. It will

also feature performances from TCO2 (Taking Care of Ourselves, Taking Care of Others), the society’s pre-vention education team.

hospital looking for $28k

A push to raise money for a new video gastroscope and other diagnostic gear at Eagle Ridge Hospital is now more than halfway to its goal.

The 18th annual Have a Heart campaign that started in mid-January and ends later this month has reached the $39,000 point — $28,000 shy of the target.

Charlene Giovannetti-King, executive director of the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation, said the video gastroscope was picked as a priority as the Port Moody hospital doesn’t have one. The machine allows physi-cians to suction blood and blood clots as well as cau-terize bleeding. “With this new scope, surgeons save time and lives,” she said.

More than 2,000 patients received endoscopy pro-cedures last year at ERH to look at causes of abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding from ulcers, for ex-ample. The campaign also aims to collect funds for an-other colonoscope as there’s a waiting list for colonosco-pies in the Tri-Cities.

Last year’s Have a Heart brought in $40,650 to buy two blanket warmers for ambulatory care; a steam table and soup kettle for the food and nutrition depart-ment were also purchased.

Friday, March 6FUNNY FARCE

In this clever Pacific Theatre show Charlie, a beleaguered and painfully shy visitor from England, hopes to get away from it all at a rural fishing lodge in Georgia under the guise of a foreigner who speaks no English.

Tickets are $49/$30/$15 at www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca or 604-927-6555.

often gets a bad wrap — extended family and the Christmas holidays — in In-Laws, Outlaws and Other People (Who Should Be Shot) this weekend at the Terry Fox Theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate, PoCo). The script, written by Steve Franco, offers plenty of quirky humour and affection as a pair of robbers, hoping to hide out from police, end up wanting to escape this madcap family in the midst of their Christmas celebration. Tickets are $15 at 604-942-7465 or [email protected].

Warmer weather means full market season soon

FRESH FOOD

It’s so close I can al-most taste it. Every day brings us closer to

spring and the full market season and all the abun-dance that comes with it.

Already, fresh spring greens are arriving and soon the garlic scapes will be here. Meals will start to lighten up as the days get longer and warmer.

We are all hearing that spring is coming early this year and that the growing season has a good head start. I will confirm that in May. I have a rhododen-dron that is always just beginning to bloom on my birthday. So, if it blooms before that this year, then it will be true.

I am seeing all kinds of lovely photos of my farm friends’ workings on Facebook lately. Heirloom tomatoes are planted, Russian red garlic is up and rhubarb is poking through. So much is happening right now.

This is one of the busiest times of the year for all the hard-working farmers who feed us. The winter cover crops have to be turned into the soil so that the soil is nourished and the new crops can be planted. Greenhouses are filled with seedlings just waiting to be planted.

Crisp Organics has

already planted the early fava beans and the soil is prepared for spinach, chard and spring peas. Surprisingly, they still have collard greens growing. Andrew says you can use them just like you would kale.

The cold frames at Forstbaur Farms are fill-ing up, too, while Doug at Greendale Herb and Vine has donned his battle helmet and is preparing to launch a full assault on blackberry bushes.

In the meantime, there is still much to be had for fresh produce. A trip through a market last weekend showed stalls brimming with food — apples, pears, squash, potatoes, cabbage, beets, carrots, to name just a few. I saw mushrooms, onions, spring greens and broccoli shoots, to say noth-ing of the daffodils, quince blossoms and pussy willows. You may not be able to eat those but they will certainly bring a smile to your face.

Don’t forget, though, that the market will also supply meat, seafood, eggs, cheese and baking. How about making a potato and cheese frittata? Golden Ears Cheese can set you up with several different types of cheese so you can cus-tomize it to suit your taste. Throw in a bit of chicken or some shrimp, if you like, add a salad made with spring greens and some crusty bread and you have a lovely light meal for the lamb days of March.

RECIPES: BEEF & BUTTERSCOTCH

If the lion days of March are what we have, here are a couple of recipes that are comforting. I hope you enjoy them.

BEEF CARBONNADE3 lb. round steak, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness4 tbsp butter4 tbsp olive oil6 onions, peeled and thinly sliced1 tbsp brown sugar 2 tbsp flour10 oz beef broth12 oz good quality beer (honey lager perhaps)1 tbsp wine vinegar1 sprig fresh thyme

Preheat oven to 325 F. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Sear meat in batches, being careful not to crowd the meat. Remove from pan and set aside.

Heat remaining oil and half the butter and add onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook onions over low heat 15 minutes or so, watching closely so as not to burn them. Layer meat in a greased baking dish and top with onions. Add remaining butter and brown sugar to frying pan. When butter Is melted, stir in flour and cook 2 minutes over low heat. Add beef stock, beer and vinegar. Mix well and pour over meat. Add fresh thyme. Cover and cook 2 hours in oven.

This dish can be cooked in a crockpot too. Serves 4 to 6.

BUTTERSCOTCH APPLE GALETTEPiE CRUST2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour1 tbsp sugar1/2 tsp salt1 cup COLD butter, grated6-7 tbsp ice water

Mix flour, sugar, and salt in food processor (or by hand with a whisk). Add butter and pulse until coarse mill forms (or cut in butter by hand with a pastry blender until only pea-size crumbs remain). Gradually blend in enough ice water until dough clumps (or mix in a tablespoon at a time by hand). Form dough into a large ball.. Wrap in plastic and chill 2 hours or overnight.

FiLLiNG3 tbsp all-purpose flour1 tsp cinnamon1/4-1/2 tsp grated nutmeg (to taste)1/8 tsp salt1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar2 1/2 lb. apples (about 6), peeled,cored and sliced1 tbsp fresh lemon juice 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 tbsp butter, cut into bits

Prepare pastry dough according to recipe direc-tions (make sure to allow time for refrigerating). Preheat oven to 425 F.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar, making sure break up any lumps. Add the pears, lemon juice and va-nilla, and gently toss to coat. Let stand 5 to 15 min-utes to macerate fruit.

Roll out prepared pastry dough on a lightly floured surface into one 16-inch round. Lay crust into the bottom of a deep dish plate. Do not trim. Transfer the filling to the shell. Fold crust over top of filling.

Place pie on hot baking sheet and bake in pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375 F and continue baking until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, about 20 to 30 minutes more. (Cover with foil for the last part of baking if it is browning too fast.) Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour before slicing. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of sea salt.

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat DD iii CC ddd |

Driving emission-free down Electric AvenueDriveway will spend the next few weeks taking a spin down Electric Avenue in a brand new 2015 Nissan LEAF.And shortly after the Van-couver International Auto Show closes on March 29, we’ll be handing the keys to one of these eco-friend-ly electric cars to a reader! (See contest details.)Even if you don’t win the prize car, you might want to do more than kick the tires on the emission free vehicle as the BC Gov-ernment is set to renew its Clean Energy Vehicle incentive program. Details have yet to be revealed but the announced $7.5 million total commitment suggests the instant rebate scheme will reduce the sticker pric-es for all electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell vehicles by up to $5,000.The Nissan LEAF S edition starts at just under $32,000, which, after the expect-ed point of sale price reduction, puts the sedan at a competitive price point alongside small gas-powered family cars. The SV adds a quick charge port to the car, some additional technology

and interior improvements for another $5,000 and the SL adds leather seating and alloy wheels for another $3,000. The Nissan Quick Charge Port (standard on SV and SL) allows charging to 80 per cent capacity in 30 minutes at public charging stations, using a DC fast charger. There will be additional incentives for those installing 220-volt fast chargers at home, which reduce charging time to five hours. The fuel efficiency of the four-door, five-seat LEAF is calculated at the gas equivalent of about 2.0 L/100 kms with a range of around 120 kms on a full

charge. The LEAF, which interestingly stands for Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car, is now in its fifth model year. It topped 1,000 sales in Canada late last year, making it the country’s top-selling electric car.The 2015 Nissan LEAF models include Rear View Monitor as a standard fea-ture; an available hybrid heater system

that provides superior cold weather performance while consuming less energy; “B” drive mode increases regenerative braking during decelera-tion; and a standard charge port light and lock with a charge port door release button added to the intelligent key fob.Enhanced interior features on

the 2015 LEAF model range from a standard leather-wrapped steer-ing wheel to a black interior colour and sun visor extensions. Rear cargo space is 680L with the second row seat upright. There is 850L of cargo space with the standard 60/40-split

rear seat folded down.EV-IT improvements for the 2015 LEAF model include an “Eco route” feature in the available navigation system that includes suggested power-saving alternative routes – plus Google’s local search. The Google Places search func-tion allows Nissan LEAF owners to look for area restaurants, shops and other points of interest and browse user reviews using Google’s POI database to get the most up-to-date information at all times.Next week, we report on the drive and the practicality of ownership.

The Nissan BladeGlider concept (see photo, far right) will contribute to the promised sizzle at the up-coming all-new Vancouver International Auto show – now just three weeks away.This revolutionary electric car, based on the DeltaWing race car introduced a few years ago, is described by the manufacturer as an “exploratory prototype of an upcoming production vehicle.” Just like the DeltaWing, the BladeGlider features a very different chassis layout – narrow at the front, wide at the rear. The design gives the vehicle a huge aerodynamic advantage of a traditional layout. The roadster has a centrally located driver seat upfront and two passenger seats behind.It’s the first of a number of concepts to be announced for the show at the Van-couver Convention Centre, which runs from Tuesday, March 24 through Sunday, March 29. Hundreds of new production cars will popu-late the all-new floor layout of exhibition space. The

show floor is growing 25 percent to almost 28,000 square metres by taking over the Ballrooms.Presented by the New Car Dealers Association of BC, the 95th Vancouver Inter-national Auto Show is the premier showcase for car enthusiasts, providing the best opportunity of the year to see some of the world’s most popular brands along-side exciting new features and displays.New features at this year’s event include the return of Exotic Manufacturers,

Electric Avenue, and a showcase of the newest and most innovative green vehicles and technologies. That area includes a 100 percent electric powered Bigfoot monster truck. The new and innovative Car Culture area will feature interactive vignettes, high-lighting themed lifestyles and the vehicles that drive them. Custom built and

modified hot rods, super cars and luxury vehicles will be showcased. And this year marks the return of commercial vendors selling vehicle parts and acces-sories.Driveway will profile many of the vehicles from the show immediately before the show [email protected]

Phone fanatics on the roadDrives-U-CrazyPulled up at the lights in the second lane of a busy three-lane road the other day to find myself boxed in by telephonic transgressors.To my left, a mid-dle-aged man was having an animated discussion on his hand-held cell while, to my right, a young woman was not only chatting but peering closely at her eyeliner in the rearview mirror. Then, behind me, I spied a fast-ap-proaching Bimmer — thank goodness, he didn’t need his hands to brake because he, too, looked like he was tearing a strip off somebody on his phone!What drives-u-crazy?

Th e name says it all. South Point Walk is close to plenty of urban ame-nities without the need to travel by car, yet remains nestled in a quaint neighborhood setting in South Surrey. It is the epitome of contem-porary West Coast Style architec-ture, with its earth tones and use of natural materials like cedar shingles and arched brick accents that appeal to the nature-lover in us all.

“South Point Walk is adjacent to the Semiahmoo Trail that boasts 200-year-old fi r trees, Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest has many trails for a quiet evening walk and in just ten minutes by car you can be by the

ocean on White Rock Beach,” says project manager, Deren Akinci. “Ev-erything including a Save-On-Foods, Canadian Tire and so many local eateries and coff ee shops are just a one-minute walk away.”

Homeowners on both the upper and lower level fl oors will have ac-cess to green space, with spacious patios or balconies.

Inside, the kitchen is harmonized with practicality and style; boasting a solid eased square-edge Quartzite countertop, full-height ceramic tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances and classic shaker style cabinetry with satin nickel pull hardware.

Th e spa-inspired bathrooms are exquisitely designed with polished slab granite or Quartzite coun-tertops, contemporary fl at panel cabinetry, a hand-set ceramic tile deep-soaker tub or shower sur-rounded with marble tile accent. In-fl oor heating and enlarged showers are featured in the ensuites.

Comfort, convenience and luxury converge at an aff ordable price with South Point Walk in South Surrey.

“Open fl oorplans, elegant gas ranges and stainless steel appliances all make your home a place where you will love to entertain in,” says Akinci. “From the modern archi-

tecture, which creates a warm and inviting environment, to the solid wood shaker style cabinetry that adds a level of sophistication, and its location next to great amenities; this level of conve-nience is hard to fi nd in other proj-ects in the area.”

One- and two-bedrooms are available starting from just $247,900, and are nearly move-in ready.

“Did I mention its GST included?”

says Akinci. “ Th ere’s so much ap-peal for this product, with sound construction and quality fi xtures,

and now with the incentive, it really is the best value in South Surrey.”

For more information, visit www.southpoint-walk.ca, call 604-560-3238 or visit the sales centre at South

Point Exchange, 860-3014 152 Street, Surrey, open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays.

South Surrey’s South Point Walk: featuring comfort, convenience and luxury

Living is good at Th e Rockwoods. Located in the vibrant Fleetwood neighbor-

hood in the city of Surrey - considered Metro Vancouver’s fastest growing city, the sought-aft er area has all the benefi ts of convenient living without sacrifi cing natural beauty.

From shopping and schools to parks and recreation, discover and enjoy Th e Rockwoods - a popular collection of quality-built three-level townhomes.

“Th e Rockwoods off ers functional, aff ordable townhomes with great curb appeal at a central Fleetwood location,” says director of marketing, Peter Edmonds. “Most of our buyers are younger couples or families, looking for a well-located home at an aff ordable price.”

In 2014, Th e Rockwoods was the best-selling townhome community in Surrey, which was the result of a combination of factors, including the community’s location in the increasingly popular Fleetwood neighborhood, the appealing contemporary exterior architecture, and func-tional two-bedroom plus den, three-bedroom and four-bedroom fl oorplans from 1180 sq. ft . to 1540 sq. ft .

Th e multiple bedroom options make Th e Rockwoods homes perfect for growing families,

and off er plenty of storage and clever use of space.

Each home provides premium-value living and is designed to create a community for fami-lies to grow up in. Th ink of the neighborhood as an ever-evolving atmosphere that caters to

kids and adults alike. At Rockwoods, buyers will fi nd a safe environment with a sense of luxury, peace and playfulness all under one roof and in one area.

Th en there’s the community’s 4,500-sq.-ft . social common space known simply as Th e

Rockwoods’ clubhouse, because having fun isn’t just for the kids. Th e spacious outdoor loung-ing deck is the perfect place for parties or casual entertainment, while the fl oor-to-ceiling glass gym is ideal for a sunny morning work out.

Outside, each townhome harnesses the con-temporary vibe of West coast living, using the appeal of timber and stonework for an incred-ibly balanced design.

Granite countertops, wood laminate fl oor-ing, stainless steel appliances and an extended kitchen island in the corner suites – some over nine feet long, are just some of the features that prove the consideration and attention to detail put into these homes.

Th at’s because Anthem Properties’ vision and dedication creates real estate that works and welcomes you home; from location, aff ordabil-ity, functionality and design.

“Homebuyers can buy with confi dence, know-ing that we’ve craft ed our homes to build on that reputation in the years to come,” says Edmonds. ”Our last phase just recently launched, so you can choose from a wide selection of homes now.”

When a homeowner walks into a home at Th e Rockwoods, they can expect an environment that feels comfortable to live in, day in and day out, and also functions well; the fi nishes are well-appointed, the storage is ample and well-placed, the layout has a great fl ow to it - all of these things add up a home that truly works.

“Whether someone is up-sizing or down-siz-ing, Th e Rockwoods off ers a quality-built home that will hold its value in the fullness of time.”

Prices for these two-plus-den, three- and four-bedroom townhomes start at $299,900, with a $5,000 bonus available for a limited time.

Th e Rockwoods’ presentation centre and display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. daily (except Fridays) at 1 – 8473 – 163rd St. in Surrey’s Fleetwood neighbourhood. For more information visit rockwoodsliving.com or call 604.503.1188.

Designed for how you want to live.

GARY AHUJA/BLACK PRESSRiverside Rapids forward Arielle Hoo carries the ball during the opening game of the girls AAA B.C. High School Provincial Championships on Wednesday at the Langley Events Centre. The Rapids defeated Burnaby Mountain secondary by a commanding 90-57 score.

Express on the ropes going into third gameClub still look-ing for first win of the seriesGary McKEnnaThe Tri-CiTy News

It’s been a tough start to the BCHL playoffs for the Coquitlam Express, but the club is hoping that a return to the friendly confines of the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex on Friday will help them turn their series around.

The latest blow was dealt to the team on Wednesday, when for the fourth straight game — two of them in the post-season — the Express fell to the Chilliwack Chiefs by a sizable margin.

Chilliwack took an early 1-0 lead with a power play goal from Jake Hand, who was eventually named first star of the game, but Coquitlam quickly righted the ship with a tying goal from Jackson Cressey.

However, the home team found their scoring touch in the middle frame.

Despite a marker from BCHL leading scorer Corey Mackin, the Chiefs piled up three unanswered goals, leading the game 4-2 going into the last period.

There, a power play marker from Chilliwack’s Craig Puffer and an even-strength goal from Scott Davidson put the game out

of reach for the visi-tors.

Express goalie Chris Tai was busy in net, turning away 35 of

the 41 shots he faced in front of the high-flying Chilliwack offence.

On Monday, it was a dif-ferent score but a similar re-sult in the first-round series opener. The Chiefs quickly took a two-goal lead, with Hand scoring unassisted and Jordan Kawaguchi burying a feed from Puffer.

After a scoreless second period, Kurt Black made it 3-0 for the home team before Coquitlam’s Daniel Fritz got his team on the board with two minutes left in the game.

But any hope of a come-back was quickly crushed when Hand took a pass from Rory Bell and managed to find the empty-netter a minute after Fritz’ goal.

Chiefs goalie David Jacobson had a strong game in net, stopping 39 of 40, while at the other end of the rink Tai stopped 20 of 23.

Jacobson was named first star of the game, while Coquitlam’s Brett Supinski, who assisted on his team’s lone goal, was named third star.

Blue Devils, Rapids take early winsPROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIP

At least one Tri-City club headed to semisGary McKEnnaThe Tri-CiTy News

Both the Riverside Rapids and the Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils were successful in van-

quishing their first round opponents at the girls AAA B.C. High School Provincial Championship on Wednesday.

And the victories set the stage for a Tri-City rivalry match, with the clubs facing off against each other in the quar-terfinal.

The Rapids were sched-uled to take on the Blue

Devils Thursday night after The Tri-City News’ deadline (for up to date scores and information go to www.tricitynews.com) in a match to decide who would move on to the next round on Friday.

Both teams had strong starts to the tournament, which is being held all this week at the Langley Events Centre.

Riverside, ranked third in the province going into the provincials, eas-ily dispatched Burnaby Mountain secondary on Wednesday 90-57.

Later in the day, Dr. Charles Best secondary managed a 62-50 win over Handsworth secondary.

Having the Rapids and and Blue Devils take each other on in the quarter-

finals means at least one Tri-City club will be play-ing in Friday’s semifinals.

The first-place game will be played on Saturday at 5:30 p.m.

FEMALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK:CHARLOTTE WISHART

COQUITLAM METRO-FORD STOMPERSThe Coquitlam Metro-Ford Division 3 Riptides went through the league cup playing

three strong games winning two and losing one, in penalty shots. Charlotte Wishart excelled in each game scoring 5 goals over the 3 games. Charlotte’s whimsical

personality constantly keeps the team upbeat and laughing which makes even the coldest wettest practices tolerable. A reformed goalie, Charlotte has been slowly

moving closer to the other end of the fi eld. She started the year as sweeper and ended the year in midfi eld, where her passion to score goals came through. She obviously

preferred to shoot on goal than to be shot at. For her great work this season Charlotte Wishart has been selected as Coquitlam Metro-Ford Female Player of the Week.

MALE PLAYER OF THE WEEK:PETRE GIDEA COQUITLAM METRO-FORD CELTICPetre Gidea of the Under 13 Boys Division 3 Celtic has been nominated for player of the week by his coaches, for his contributions this season. Petre’s tireless work ethic, speed and dribbling skills contributed to the team’s success this year, particularly in the past month, when Petre returned to the team after a six-week absence due to a broken arm. Petre had a particularly strong performance this past weekend with two goals, along with strong contributions in the game from Rainier Desiderio, Evan Stewart and Aidan Seear. Petre Gidea is nominated as the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Male Player of the Week as a result of his strong contribution to the team over the past several weeks.

Ravens gear up for trip to provincial tourney

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

GaRy McKennaThe Tri-CiTy News

The Terry Fox Ravens are gearing up for their ap-pearance at the high school boys basketball AAAA B.C. Provincial Championship tournament after taking third place in the Fraser Valley Championship last weekend.

The Port Coquitlam team cruised through the early rounds of the regional playoffs, defeat-ing Seaquam secondary 93-54 last Friday and North Surrey 88-81 on Monday.

However, the squad ran into some trouble against Yale secondary on Friday night, falling to the lower-ranked Abbotsford club 107-94.

With the loss, the Ravens

were knocked out of cham-pionship contention and had to settle for a consola-tion third-place match against Semiahmoo sec-ondary on Saturday at the Langley Events Centre.

Semiahmoo struggled for most of the game, with Terry Fox sustaining the lead for most of the 60 min-utes of play. When the final buzzer sounded the Ravens were up 103-70.

The Terry Fox Ravens, who are ranked sixth going into the provincials, are not the only Tri-City club to punch their ticket to the championship tournament.

Port Moody’s Heritage Woods secondary will have a team at the Langley Events Centre when the finals get underway next week after locking up a

berth with a sixth-place showing at the Fraser Valley Championships.

The Kodiaks, who enter the tournament with an honourable mention in the Big 10 Rankings, struggled last weekend.

They managed to eke out a 70-69 win over Pitt Meadows secondary, before downing W.J. Mouat 64-52 in the second game of the championship on Friday.

Going into Saturday with a 1-1 record meant that the Kodiaks played Walnut Grove for fifth place, a game they lost 79-72.

AAA PLAYMeanwhile, in AAA

boys high school basket-ball, the Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils are heading to their first B.C. Provincial

Championship in the team’s history.

The club finished the Fraser Valley Championships in fourth place on Saturday, los-ing the third place game to Abbotsford secondary 86-39 but had still locked up a berth in the provincial tournament.

The team got off to a rocky start in the regional play downs.

They lost their first game to Abbotsford 87-67 last Wednesday, but bounced back the next day with a razor-thin 87-86 win over Sullivan Heights.

A second win against Brookswood secondary by a score of 56-54 secured the berth in the provincials and set up the third place game against Abbotsford.

MACKIN, SUPINSKI SNAG AwARdSTwo members of the Coquitlam Express will

receive BCHL awards voted on by coaches in the league.

Express forward Corey Mackin earned the Vern Dye Memorial trophy as the most valuable player while his line mate, Brett Supinski, will receive the Bruce Allison Memorial trophy as rookie of the year.

The players are number one and two in BCHL scoring, with Mackin topping the list with 50 goals and 54 assists during the regular season, which earns him the Brett Hull trophy, a non-voting award. Supinski is the second highest scorer in the league with 48 goals and 50 assists.

The pair are currently in a first-round playoff battle against the Chilliwack Chiefs, which continues on Friday at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

[email protected]

series comes back to Coq. HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

The Chiefs finished first in the Mainland Division, with a 37-17-1-0 record, set-ting up the first-round series matchup with Coquitlam, who finished in fourth place with a 25-28-1-4 record.

While Chilliwack amassed an impressive goal total with 215 dur-ing the regular season (a number only surpassed by Coquitlam with 218), they also have an extremely stingy defence, allowing only 184 goals against. Meanwhile, Coquitlam was tied for third to last place in the league with their goals

against average of 238.The Express will be hop-

ing for a better outcome when the series returns home for two games this weekend.

Puck drop for Friday’s game at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex is 7 p.m., while the game on Saturday will take place at 7:30 p.m. Should it be neces-sary, the series will continue on Monday in Chilliwack before coming back to Coquitlam on Tuesday.
