A 207-metre-long lockbox structureruns alongside the Coast MeridianOverpass to store a material found onthe site. But what exactly is being keptinside?

The City of Port Coquitlam says thecontainer is being used to store 30,000cubic metres (one million cubic feet)of “carbon cruciate” material leftbehind by Kennametal Inc., a metalmanufacturing company formerlylocated on the site.

But Kennametal says it adheres tostrict environmental standards and

has never even heard the term “carboncruciate” before.

Port Coquitlam’s transportationmanager Dave Currie said carboncruciate is “a type of waste that needsto be handled in a certain way.”

“It’s material that was left overfrom the metal foundry works, theKennametal property,” Currie said.

Kennametal manufactured tungstencarbide metals on the PoCo propertyfrom the 1960s until about 1990. In2002, Kennametal, which is based inPennsylvania, sold the property to amember of The Beedie Group.

The city later purchased a portion ofthe property — about 2.4 hectares (sixacres) — from The Beedie Group for

the Coast Meridian Overpass project.As part of the purchase negotiations,Currie said, The Beedie Group agreedto remediate that specific area of thesite to meet Ministry of Environmentrequirements.

However, Currie could not providean exact definition of the material onthe site.

“Let’s be clear — I’m not anenvironmental expert. It’s a type ofwaste that needs to be handled in acertain way, but it’s adequate to haveit stored,” he said. “It’s being stored inperpetuity, and that’s consistent withMinistry of Environment expectationsand requirements … And the city iscommitted to maintain that state.”

Currie also could not provide com-ment on whether the substance couldbe dangerous to plants, animals orsoil. “It’s material that needs to bestored in a certain way. That’s all I canreally say, is it needs to be stored in acertain way and we’re doing that,” hesaid.

“In its condition at the end of thisremediation and the completion ofthis storage cell by Beedie, then it willbe in a condition that’s stable and canbe maintained that way for the longterm.”

Port Moody’s plans for ahigh-tech business park areover before they officiallystarted.

City officials confirmedTuesday that council votedlast week to shelve plans tocreate a high-tech businesspark once it became appar-ent that funding to develop abusiness plan was not avail-able.

Coun. Gerry Nuttall, whostepped down as the economicdevelopment committeevice-chair, said the businessplan didn’t receive financialsupport from senior levels ofgovernment.

“Because there was nofunding available for doingup a business plan, councildecided they couldn’t take theproject any further,” Nuttallsaid. “They instructed the sub-committee to be disbanded, asthere was no further work tobe done on it.”

The city’s economicdevelopment committee hadapproached both the WesternEconomic DiversificationCanada fund as well as PortMoody-Coquitlam MLA IainBlack, who serves as ministerof small business, technologyand economic development.

The city approached bothprovincial and federal gov-ernments for approximately$100,000 in funding to drafta business plan for the high-tech park, but neither levelof government had grants orfunding available for prelim-inary projects like businessplans.

As a result, Mayor JoeTrasolini said, council votedlast week to forgo the projectand disband the subcommit-tee.

“For the moment, the plansare shelved. I’m hoping they’ll

Staff at the CoquitlamAnimal Shelter are look-ing towards a permanent

solution for a perennial prob-lem.

It’s hoped that a fundraiserplanned for June 12 and 13 willraise the necessary funds torefurbish the shelter’s indoorand outdoor cat areas, a movethat would help keep the catshealthy and active while mini-mizing the risk of disease andillness.

The shelter’s indoor cat areacurrently has room for 25 to28 cats, numbers that are a lotmore sustainable than thoseexperienced last summer whenthe shelter was inundated withmore than 70 cats.

“It’s preferable to not havepods of more than 20 cats.Hopefully we can have smaller,self-contained pods of cats justin case there ever was a diseaseissue,” said Andrea McDonald,Coquitlam’s manager of bylawand animal control services.

McDonald said the majorityof the funding needed for theconstruction of the facility itselfis already accounted for, andwork on the shelter began three weeks ago. The goalof the weekend-long drive is to raise about $5,000,money that will be used to purchase kennels andother supplies.

Last year’s influx in cat numbers followed a pat-tern that the shelter has traditionally seen eachsummer: warmer weather, breeding and wanderingtendencies all create the perfect storm.

Coupled with those factors is the fact that somecat owners choose not to spay or neuter their pets,

or fail to get identifying chips. In fact, the shelter’scat recovery rates have traditionally hovered around15 per cent, versus the 85-per-cent recovery rate fordogs.

“Last summer when we had over 70 cats, it wasjust not healthy,” McDonald said. “Even things likecolds will run rampant through the cat room whenyour numbers are that high because they are soclose.”

As part of the weekend fundraiser, shelter staff areorganizing a garage sale on June 12 at the facility,

which is located at 500 Mariner Way. Similar to acar trunk sale, residents can purchase spots for $12to set up a booth and sell their wares. A bottle driveand dinner fundraiser are also planned for Sunday,June 13.

The animal shelter offers both adoption and fos-tering programs for cats. The temporary fosteringprogram matches cats with families while the felinesare waiting for adoption. Vet costs are covered by theshelter. For more info, call the shelter at 604-927-7387 or log on to www.coquitlam.ca.

Stories by John [email protected]

Fresh off one round of heateddebate, Coquitlam is looking to extendthe community conversation on off-leash dog parks.

The city held a four-hour publicinformation session last week to gaugeresidents’ ideas and concerns regard-ing a new off-leash dog park in theCity Centre area.

“It is an important issue and I thinkit’s something that’s long overdue— to recognize that dogs are a part ofour community,” said Mayor RichardStewart, who was in attendance forpart of last Wednesday’s discussion.

“But we also have to be sensitive tothe rest of the population and makecertain that we’re trying to meet thediverse needs sensitively.”

Slated to be completed within an$80,000 budget envelope, the new dogpark would have to adhere to severalcriteria laid out by city staff, includingthe inclusion of durable, long-lasting,dog-friendly materials that are easyto maintain and sustain, as well as astipulation that the park be designedwith a number of different user groupsin mind, so as to not create any con-flicts.

The city currently has four off-leashareas — located at Miller, Mundy,Ridge and Bramble parks — though afifth off-leash area near Mundy Park isalso in the works.

According to a city staff report,building an off-leash park with afenced area would be much more

expensive as opposed to those setup on trails. That said, a number ofoptions were offered at Wednesday’smeeting.

A 10,000-square-metre (2.5-acre)area in the northeast corner of GlenPark was one of the first options pre-sented, and the proposal would includeboth a fenced-off area and trails foroff-leash dogs.

The northwest corner of the TownCentre Sports Complex would encom-pass about 2,000 square metres (0.5acres), and would be located near thecorner of David Avenue and PinetreeWay. It would require fencing, moreground cover and the installation ofsome shrubs.

The third option would be to expand

the trail system along the west sideof the Coquitlam River, with accesspoints on Gabriola Drive, Anvil Courtand Ozada Avenue. This option wouldrequire signs reminding dog ownersto keep their pets out of the river andother environmentally sensitive areas.

Option four is a proposal for afenced off-leash area near Eagle RidgePark along the BC Hydro right-of-way.Located between Guildford Way andLansdowne Drive, the site would beabout 2,000 square metres (0.5 acres)in size.

A trail system between CliffroseCrescent and Waterford Pace was alsopresented, though there is no parking

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

said she has never heard of carbon cruciate.“I have never seen the term ‘carbon cruciate’

before, nor can I find it in a web search. Theonly ‘cruciate’ I could see deals with ligamentsin the leg, so I am at a loss as to what materialis in question,” Chandler wrote in an e-mailTuesday. “Kennametal received approval fromthe Ministry of Environment as to the condi-tion of the site in 1998 … We operate in 60countries and always to the strictest environ-mental and safety standards, so we are veryproud of our records in these key areas.”

However, Igor Zahynacz, Port Coquitlam’sengineering and operations director, also saidthe material came from metal manufacturing.

“Carbon crucible material, that’s materialfrom the metal operation smelting that washappening a long time ago. It’s on the site. Themetallurgical metal manufacturing companyvacated the site some years ago and The BeedieGroup bought it.”

The substance is being stockpiled in a singlelocation west of the south overpass ramp,Zahynacz said.

“It’s fairly inert, from what I understand, soit’s just being stored at this time. It’s alwaysbeen there,” he said. “It’s just being stored inone location … It’s being stored, protectedwith a normal environmental process and cer-tificates from environmental consultants andapproved by the Ministry of Environment. Soit’s under provincial remediation process.”

Zahynacz said The Beedie Group hired aconsulting firm called Next EnvironmentalInc., but representatives from the Burnaby-based company declined to comment.Catherine Birch of Next Environmental saidquestions should be directed to the city, since

it owns the property. “I’m afraid we can’t pro-vide comments. We’re consultants and we workfor a client,” Birch said.

The Beedie Group and the Ministry ofEnvironment did not respond to requests forinformation by NOW deadline.

However, a submission to TransLink fromthe City of Port Coquitlam dated May 3, 2005,mentions a contaminant on the site.

“The industrial land required south of theCP Rail yards, the Beedie property, has beenidentified as containing contaminated soil. Theproperty acquisition costs payable to the ownershould be offset against the city’s cost for soilremediation/removal, etc.,” states the report,prepared by Urban Systems in association withBuckland & Taylor Ltd. “The city’s environ-mental services and the property agent deter-mined that $800,000 and 20 per cent land con-tingency factor should be reasonable for theBeedie property taking. As no environmentalassessment has been done, there is a risk thatthis cost could be exceeded.”

Currie confirmed that The Beedie Group ispaying for the construction of the “CCM stor-age cell,” which is a lined lockbox containerthat’s seven metres (23 feet) high and rangesfrom 21 to 30 metres (69 to 98 feet) wide. Hesaid the design also includes a “leachate col-lection system” to contain anything that mightleach out of the lockbox.

Once the structure is complete, grass willgrow on top and Boston ivy will be planted atthe base.

“Beedie Group is paying for all of the design,construction, etc., and then we’ll take it over interms of ownership of it once they are finishedall their work, likely later this year,” Curriesaid. “Then, at that time, the city only has rela-tively minimal maintenance costs after that.”

John Slater. Richard Lee. Terry Lake. Pat Pimm.Dave Hayer. Eric Foster. Recognize any of thosenames? I didn’t think so.

They are all MLAs, all members of the BC Liberalgovernment backbench (a status that virtually guar-antees a cloak of anonymity).

And they all sit on an obscure legislative commit-tee that has never actually met, but which is aboutto play a pivotal role in determining thefate of the Harmonized Sales Tax in thisprovince.

The Select Standing Committee onLegislative Initiatives will be given thetask of deciding what to do with thatanti-HST petition that continues to col-lect signatures.

I’ve written in this space before thatdespite the obvious unpopularity of theHST, the Liberal government is unlikelyto repeal the tax on its own, even as ittumbles off a cliff in public opinion.

Last week, Premier Gordon Campbell said he will“follow the law” and hand the petition off to thecommittee, which will be faced with two avenues ofpossible action.

The committee will either turn the petition’s lan-guage into a piece of legislation to be tabled in thelegislature, or it will submit the petition to a generalreferendum across the province.

Recently, I speculated that the referendum routewas unlikely, but now I’m not so sure. The reasonfor rethinking this possibility is that, like many

other people, I neglected to go back and review thelegislation governing referendums in this province.

The law states that 50 per cent of all voters in thisprovince must vote in favour in order for a referen-dum question to pass and become legislation. Not 50per cent of those who bother to vote, but 50 per centof the nearly three million registered voters in B.C.

Will 1.5 million people vote to repeal the HST?That’s the number that is required, andwhile it’s certainly possible, it may provetoo high a number to attain.

To put this in context, remember thatin the 2009 election, only 1.6 millionpeople even bothered to vote. In otherwords, almost every single person whovoted last time — for whatever party —would have to vote Yes in a referendumto repeal the HST in order for it to pass.

To put it another way, the anti-HSTpetition, while very successful (much tomy surprise, I admit) is still a long way

from attracting 1.5 million signatures. Bill VanderZalm, who has organized the petition drive, thinkshe may get a million signatures by the time hissign-up period expires in early July. That would be avery impressive accomplishment, but he’d still be ahalf million signatures short of what’s required in areferendum.

Another important factor to consider is the timingof the referendum. By law, it’s not to happen untilSept. 24, 2011. After more than one year actuallyliving with the full impact — negative and positive

— of the HST, will 1.5 million people still turn outto vote to repeal it?

For these reasons, the referendum appears to bethe most enticing option open to a government hell-bent on keeping the tax. The Liberals are likely tobet that when all is said and done 16 months fromnow, not enough people will get out and vote to getrid of the HST.

It may seem to be a safe bet, but then again manypeople — including me, I repeat! — discounted thechances of the anti-HST petition succeeding andwere proven dead wrong.

History shows that tax revolts don’t last very long,but we may be in uncharted waters with the HST.The prospects of a recall campaign against one ormore Liberal MLAs is still a real possibility, even if areferendum is promised.

In any event, the white-hot issue will soon behanded off to that group of anonymous Liberal back-benchers (one has to wonder whether Campbell willalter the makeup of the committee to give his sidemore experience).

Of course, the premier will be telling his back-benchers what to do (the NDP has four members aswell). Nevertheless, it seems odd that the fate of theLiberal government is about to be turned over to sixpeople with very little political experience betweenthem.

But, as the premier says, that’s the law.

Anti-HST sentiment may lead to referendum

Re: “One of these things doesn’t belong,” editor-ial, Friday, May 28.

As one who quit smoking cigarettes roughly 40years ago, I can sympathize with your editorialsupport for the arguments of anti-smoking folkswho want pharmacies to be prohibited from sellingtobacco products.

However, as your editorial acknow-ledges, these are legal substances and,unless we as a society choose to makethem illegal, we should not be dictact-ing which retail outlets can sell themand which cannot. I thought we lived ina democracy where buying, selling andusing legal substances is a matter of personal choice.

If we are going to limit our democracy in the wayyour editorial supports, then we’re into “big brother”syndrome and we already have more of that than weneed as a result of governments responding to zeal-ots whose causes they espouse.

Why can’t we have SkyTrain?Re: “Promises are easy, but money’s scarce,”

editorial, Wednesday, May 26.It is so depressing to think that we

(our community, our province, ourcountry) cannot afford to have a simplerapid transit system. I, an ordinaryperson, have no solution to this. But Isee that rapid transit systems are beingbuilt and used all over the world. I envy

the residents of Richmond and south Vancouver nowwith their beautiful SkyTrain line. How come we areso unfortunate here in the Tri-Cities that we cannothave one?

Last year was a tough one financiallyfor many Canadians as our country wascaught up in a global recession.

While many of us cut back our spending,feared for our jobs and held on desper-ately waiting for an end to the downturn,Conservative MP Russ Hiebert piled up roughlyfour times his annual salary in expenses —$637,093 for the year.

Most of that, $422,733, went to paying foroffice space and staff, office equipment, print-ing and other costs associated with the job.

A little more than one-third of thetotal, however, went to the cost of travelbetween his riding (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale) and Ottawa for Hiebert and hiswife and two children.

Hiebert appears puzzled that anyone wouldbe offended at him spending $214,360 ferry-ing himself and his family back and forth. Hewants to keep his family together and if that’swhat it costs, well, that’s what it costs.

We agree with the many Canadians whohave responded to Hiebert’s high-roller spend-ing with outrage.

Spending that kind of money during a reces-sion is a slap in the face to ordinary Canadians.

Hiebert’s party campaigned on promisesto reduce government spending and elimin-ate waste in Ottawa. When the Conservativeswere in opposition, they relentlessly attackedthe Liberals for their “sense of entitlement.”

Hiebert defends his spending by saying itmeets the rules set out for such things. It’strue, he’s broken no rules, but while obeyingthe letter of the law, he has abandoned thespirit of the Conservative Party of Canada inopposition.

His new mantra is: I’m entitled, the money’sthere, I’m taking it, deal with it.

Mr. Hiebert, you don’t want to be separatedfrom your family. Fair enough. But do youreally expect the Canadian taxpayer to pick upthis kind of tab year after year?

Maybe this isn’t the job for you.

LettersTo The Editor

2009 WINNER


Port Moody’s mayor, Joe Trasolini, recent-ly voted in support of Metro Vancouver’sdraft solid waste management strategy,

which includes expansion of the region’swaste-to-energy (incineration) infrastructure.

Twice in recent months I attempted to con-tact the mayor to ask him why he supportswaste-to-energy, and twice I received no reply.If waste-to-energy is so clearly beneficial to ourregion, why is the mayor so sheepish aboutexplaining his decision to support it?

Mayor Trasolini’s position is particularlypuzzling given that the volunteers of PortMoody’s environmental protection committeesummarized their arduous meetings throughthe summer of 2009 in a report that stronglyopposed Plasco’s waste-to-energy.

The mind boggles further considering thatthe Cache Creek landfill has recently beengiven an extension to receive waste for another25 years, thus alleviating our so-called “gar-bage crisis.” Landfills are not perfect. Theyslowly release the powerful greenhouse gasmethane as organic material buried under-ground decomposes anaerobically (withoutoxygen).

However, Port Moody and Port Coquitlamare taking a leadership role as municipalitiespiloting the removal of organic material fromthe waste stream, diverting it to compostingprograms, which drastically reduces landfillmethane production. And while we need tomove aggressively towards a society whereindustries are not permitted to produce non-recyclable plastics, in the meantime, those

plastics buried in landfill at least represent astable, solid form of the fossil fuels that cre-ated them. Plastics in our landfills will remainunchanged for hundreds, if not thousands ofyears. When we take those same plastics andincinerate them, that stored carbon is immedi-ately released as carbon dioxide gas that maypersist in our Earth’s atmospherefor centuries. By converting ourwaste from solid to gas throughincineration, (ignoring for nowthe other solid toxic byproductsof waste-to-energy), we are fur-ther contributing to a legacy ofincreased atmospheric carbon diox-ide that will not only affect the Earth’s climatefor our children, it will affect our grandchil-dren’s great-grandchildren.

Throughout Metro’s public consultation pro-cess, we have been told to look to Scandinaviaas a shining example of countries where waste-to-energy is used and accepted. But comparingour waste system to Sweden’s is like compar-ing apples with rambutans. Sweden has a high-ly sophisticated waste-sorting system in whichpeople must separate out at least 12 types ofrecyclables. Citizens receive hefty fines if theytrash recyclable materials.

We’re nowhere near this level of recyclingsophistication, so incineration of our unsortedwaste would introduce all sorts of harmfulproducts, like electronics and batteries, intothe resulting solid and gaseous stew. In addi-tion, Sweden is way ahead of us on extendedproducer responsibility legislation — requiring

companies to take post-consumer responsibil-ity for their products and packaging by meansof take-back programs.

The most worrying aspect of this solid wastemanagement planning process has been thelack of a balanced consideration of alternativeviewpoints. Metro Vancouver has failed to pro-

vide an equal hearing for scientificevidence that opposes the use ofwaste-to-energy. If waste-to-energyis so solidly supported by science,why was it necessary to bring inexperts that clearly had a vestedinterest in promoting waste-to-energy, rather than unbiased sci-

entists that could take a truly balanced look atthe technology?

Take Bettina Kamuk, for example. As mar-ket director of the Danish company RambollDenmark AS — a company that, according toits website, has spent the past 30 years involvedin the planning, procurement and commission-ing of waste-to-energy plants — Kamuk is paidto promote waste-to-energy, and her companyhas a clear financial interest in doing so.

Metro aided the self-destruction of theircredibility with the use of “expert” toxicologistDr. Jim Bridges, who assured us all that waste-to-energy posed no risks to human health. Itwas later revealed that in the 1990s, when theU.S. Environmental Protection Agency tooktobacco giants to task on the adverse healthimpacts of cigarettes, Bridges was an expertwitness testifying for Phillip Morris.

As you can read in court transcripts (http://

tobaccodocuments.org/bliley_pm/24415.html), Bridges held the position that there wasinsufficient evidence linking tobacco smoke,either direct or second-hand, to cancer andcardiovascular disease.

And in Metro’s recent decision to deny UBC’satmospheric scientist Dr. Douw Steyn renewedfunding for air quality research because of hisoutspoken opposition to incineration, theyhave perpetuated a long chain of historicalprecedents of politicians and religious leadersshooting the scientific messenger.

After all, if our scientists aren’t telling uswhat we want to hear, isn’t ignorance anddenial so much better? Waste-to-energy is nota sustainable or ecologically responsible energysource, nor is it a wise long-term investmentfor a society truly committed to the elimina-tion of waste.

Our current overproduction of waste is likea severed artery, and ramping up waste-to-energy is the equivalent of getting faster andfaster at bringing trays to catch the spurtingblood, instead of applying pressure to stop theflow. Committing to waste-to-energy doesn’tdeal with the root problem: that our societyhas become unwittingly locked into a cultureof too much waste. Let’s see some solid com-mitment to waste reduction, not anotherBand-Aid.

Coun. Diana Dilworth, who chaired the eco-nomic development subcommittee, could notbe reached by deadline.

Unveiled last December, plans for the high-tech park included a multi-tenant buildingintended to feature a large anchor businessand many upstart “incubator” businesses look-ing to foster industry innovation, all locatedin 250,000 to 300,000 square feet of leasable

space that was to create 400 to 500 jobs in itsfirst phase. While plans for the high-tech parkare officially on hold, Trasolini said he hopesto attract private investors willing to front thebusiness plan funding so the city can move for-ward on the project.

“It is an ambitious plan, but if you don’thave ambition, you don’t become anything,do you?” he said, adding that the proposedhigh-tech park had been the primary focus ofeconomic development in the city.

“That was the major thing,” he said. “We’regoing to look at other opportunities.”

Hockey academy programset to expand in local schools

Craig Millin is well versed in the need fora backup plan. A former player in the now-defunct World Hockey Association (WHA),Millin got his break into the fledgling league— which came in the form of a six-game try-out — in late 1978. But right in the middle ofhis tryout, the league folded and players weresent packing. With one lessleague and one less avenueto pursue, the WHA’s demiseserved as a stark reminder forplayers about the need for aneducation.

“Most of the people thatI played hockey with yearsago weren’t necessarily welleducated,” Millin recalled. “Itseemed that the better yougot at your hockey, the moreit came at the expense of youracademics. There was no bal-ance.”

Fast forward a couple ofyears, and the Ontario native set up shop in theworld of hockey academies, where the focus isdivided equally between a player’s developmenton and off the ice.

“This is a way for us to provide kids with achance to do well in school, and stay engagedin school while playing their sport of choice —it doesn’t get much better than that for a kidthat likes to play hockey,” said Millin, who nowheads up the Pacific Rim Hockey Academy.

It’s that type of selling point that brought

the first incarnation of his hockey academ-ies into School District 43 last year, as morethan 70 students from both Riverside andCentennial secondaries took part.

Those numbers will be on the rise for thenext school year, as Centennial’s enrolmentnumbers will double to allow 50 students ingrades 9 through 12 to participate. The pro-gram will also be offered out of Dr. CharlesBest Secondary this year.

“That makes it really nice because now ifyou’ve got [Best students]who don’t want to leave theirschool, a particular teacher ortheir friends, they’re able toparticipate in the hockey pro-gram,” Millin said.

The model used by Millin’sacademy is one that stressesall facets of development.Students are on the ice threetimes a week working on theirskills, while the other two daysare spent in the classroomworking on strategy and tac-tics. The off-ice componentalso includes working along-

side a sports psychologist, lessons on nutritionand goal setting. Volunteer work and mentor-ing are also stressed.

“It’s about finding a way to keep kids inter-ested in school,” Millin said.

The district’s hockey academy program runsin the fall semester only and applications arecurrently being accepted. The cost is $1,000for the duration of the semester-long program.For more info, see www.rpmhockey.com or callMillin at 604-476-0464.

“There is nothing better than brightyoung faces to cheer up our residents,”Dufferin recreation director LouiseJoycey said in a press release. “Thevisit from Hampton Park’s studentsreduces anxiety and makes for a calm-er afternoon.”

District 43 counsellor HarrietteChang said the program has positiveeffects for students as well.

“Empowering students leads themto initiate positive action,” Changsaid. “In fact, they are owning positivechange.”

Through the same program, stu-dents are raising money for disasterrelief in Haiti in addition to donatingtheir hair for children undergoingcancer treatment.

Student to visit OttawaThirty-four Riverside Secondary stu-

dents participated in the 17th-annualnational Begbie Canadian Historycontest recently, and EdenNzeyimana came out ontop.

Students donated their allowances,babysat or did extra chores to earnmoney to donate to the Free theChildren organization.

“I donated $90,” Grade 6 studentLiam Pringle said in a press release.

“I realize that we are very privilegedand have so much while others in theworld barely have enough to eat orhave clean water to drink.”

Small Umbrian town lets visitors to Italy feel like locals

Ihave to tell you about the “sausage conven-tion” in Orvieto, Italy. At least that is whatwe called them: the sausage guys. They

were everywhere, in packs of six or seven,strolling the streets in their going-to-townsuits and ties. My husband, Luigi, the Italianlinguist, said their dialect was definitely fromthe south — but no, they were not, or couldnot be, associated with the “M” word. Theirnot-so-great-fitting suits and fake silk tiesgave them away (and I think they bought their“designer” sunglasses from one of those streetvendors). They strutted around like flocks ofroosters — roosters with cellphones.

We asked a waiter at a small café if theywere locals. After he recovered from laughing,he said they had been around for a week andno one knew who they were or why they werethere. We decided they must be in town for a

sausage convention and nicknamed them “thesausage guys.”

So, days later, who do we see at the trainstation waiting for the train to Naples? Thesausage guys — still wearing the same attire,but with no luggage. Who goes to Orvieto fora whole week with nothing but one suit andone tie?

Orvieto was to be, for Luigi and I, a placeto drop off the rental car, but it turned out tobe much more than we had expected. Thanksto the Internet, we found the perfect home inOrvieto. CasaVera Bed & Breakfast felt morelike our own apartment, with a fully equippedUmbrian kitchen.

It was quite a discovery, just a few metresfrom the heart of historic Orvieto.

Much of the city traces its history back toEtruscan times (800 BC). Built on a huge cliffof tufa (a soft volcanic rock), it dominates thesurrounding hills and plains. It has seen mil-lennia of history and civilization.

We took the underground tour to see just

two out of 1,200 known Etruscan undergroundchambers and tunnels. Four hundred and fortyfour of the chambers are still accessible, mostprivately owned and some used as wine cellars.One of the most interesting chambers was oneI called the “pigeon hole.” Dozens of pigeonroosts were carved out of the tufa walls, notby Etruscans, but during the medieval periodwhen pigeon pâté was profitable and the only

source of protein during sieges — the chamberwas an early home-based business.

The underground is only a small part of thecharm of Orvieto. We could wander throughthe narrow cobblestone streets, sit outside asmall bar or café with our aperitivo and feellike locals. I almost felt Italian (if only it were

that easy to learn the lan-guage).

The buildings in our“neighbourhood” dated backto around the 1300s, givingus an amazing feeling of timetravel.

One night, as we wan-dered down Via del Duomo, Iglanced up at a third-storeywindow and discovered abeautifully frescoed ceiling. Itmade me wonder what othertreasures hide inside thosehistoric buildings.

After our visit to theunderground, we headedabove ground — way above,47 metres, to be exact. TheTorre del Moro, a 13th- to14th-century tower, provideda pigeon’s-eye view of Orvietoand the Umbrian hills.

What could be a better wayto enjoy Italy than to refineoneself and spend a night atthe opera? In Orvieto, I wasfinally able to shed my tour-ist attire, dig my skirt outof the suitcase and experi-ence my first ever Italianopera, Rigoletto, in TeatroMancinelli, a beautiful 150-year-old theatre. These are thetheatres where operas werefirst performed: warm, small,intimate and with elegant sur-roundings.

And how could I forget theDuomo di Orvieto? The fam-ous gothic-style cathedralsmack-dab in the centre ofhistoric Orvieto, with itsexcessively decorated façadeand gothic design-stripedsides, was a must-see. Withcamera in hand, hearing thedistinctive Bridal March, Irushed to capture the bride

and groom exiting the cath-edral into a shower of rice.The enormity of the Duomogave me a feeling of unreality,but after seeing and hearingthe 21st-century weddingtaking place, I had a differentperspective.

Although our visit toOrvieto was short, it waslong enough for me to fall inlove with the feeling of beingtotally immersed in the Italianculture, even for my English-only speaking self. I see areturn visit in my future.

Blast from the past for the BC Lionsas den moves back to Empire Field

Construction is almost complete on the temporarystadium at Empire Field that the BC Lions will callhome for the 2010-11 season.

The home opener in the Lions’ temporary den will beon June 21 against Edmonton. For some fans, it willbe a brand new experience. For others, it will providea taste of the past.

“We have a tremendous opportunity in 2010 to pro-vide our fans with a season to remember as we returnto the birthplace of Lions football for the first time in27 years,” said George Chayka, the Lions’ vice-presi-dent of business.

The one-year move to Empire Field became neces-sary following the announcement late last year thatconstruction on a new retractable roof for BC Placewould not be completed until July 2011. The BCLions will host the 99th Grey Cup at BC Place inNovember 2011.

TransLink has boosted service linking to Empire Fieldquite significantly since the Lions last played there.Service on Hastings Street and links from the NorthShore and from the Millennium SkyTrain Line will givefans great connections to the games, and TransLinkwill offer “special events” boosts in service for gamedays.

Individualseats totaling 20,100 will run along the side lines andanother 7,400 bench-style seats will occupy the endzones. Sideline seats between the goal lines will becovered and a limited number of private boxes willalso be constructed along with media facilities, con-cessions, stadium level lighting, scoreboards, a videoboard and washrooms.

Quick Facts:• Location: Empire Field at the PNE,

previous site of Empire Stadium

• Seating capacity: 27,500 seats -sideline seats will be covered

• Number of private boxes: 12

• Number of seating technicians requiredto build stadium: 50-60

Soccer scammers seek new victims, BBB warnsAs the FIFA World Cup quickly approaches,

the Better Business Bureau says fraudsters aretrying their best to take advantage of consum-ers through lottery prize scams.

In February, FIFA issued a warning aboutlottery prize scams associated with its name,stating that there is no World Cup 2010Lottery affiliated in any way to FIFA.

A new variation of the FIFA lottery scam isappearing as a mass e-mail, which has a PDFattachment outlining the prize details.

The scam lottery appears to be from FIFAand a partnership between the South African

and Canadian governments. The message triesto convince recipients to give their personalinformation or forward money to receive aprize.

“Soccer is an extremely popular sport andwith the World Cup around the corner, weare seeing the foreign lottery scam makinga comeback,” said Lynda Pascareta, BetterBusiness Bureau of Lower Mainland BC pres-ident and CEO, in a press release.

“Stick with the BBB’s advice. If it sounds toogood to be true, it normally is.”

For those who receive a foreign lottery letter

or e-mail, the BBB recommends that they notrespond.

Responding to just one foreign lottery offerwill open the door to many more bogus offersfor lottery or investment “opportunities,”according to the BBB. The respondents’ nameswill be added to “sucker lists” that fraudulenttelemarketers buy and sell.

In both Canada and the United States, it’sillegal to play a foreign lottery — either bymail, phone or Internet. Don’t add insult toinjury by inviting federal charges, the BBBrecommends.

In addition, opening an attachment froman unknown party could expose computers tomalware viruses and potentially lead to identitytheft.

Anyone who receives a foreign lotterysolicitation can file a complaint by calling theCompetition Bureau at 1-800-348-5358 or theCanadian Anti-Fraud Call Centre at 1-888-495-8501. Complaints about deceptive businesspractices can also be registered online at www.competitionbureau.gc.ca

You couldn’t ask for more diversebackgrounds, but both players’ paths ledto the Coquitlam Adanacs’ crease.

New Jersey native Ginny Capicchioniand Port Coquitlam teen Dylan Kuppanare now members of an elite group— as goalies in the Western LacrosseAssociation.

The pair were called to duty on theweekend when the senior A Adanacs’backup goalie dilemma forced theirhand — resulting in Kuppan’s debut.

With veteran Chris Levis unavailabledue to business commitments, and thesigning of Ontario native Nick Rosebeing held up due to a transfer battlewith Brooklin, 3-2 Coquitlam has justone goalie — veteran Brandon Atherton— to their name.

Coquitlam dropped both games,Saturday 13-11 to Langley, and Sunday11-8 to Maple Ridge, but neither was aresult of goaltending.

Capicchioni became the first female todress for a Western Lacrosse Association

contest on Saturday, seven years afterbecoming the first woman to play in theNational Lacrosse League.

Kuppan, meanwhile, at 17, ranksright up there as one of the youngest.And perhaps the most fearless.

“I got a bit excited and then I was ner-vous,” Kuppan said about being askedto be a last-minute substitute Sunday inMaple Ridge. “It was a good game andthings were going fine, then it all wentthe other way.”

A member of the intermediate ABurnaby Lakers, Kuppan was calledless than an hour to game time withCapicchioni back in New Jersey andemergency junior-aged backup BrodieMacDonald unavailable due to an injury.

That resulted in a call for an emer-gency-emergency backup.

The 17-year-old’s baptism into theWLA came when Atherton was tossedfrom the game at 14:37 of the secondperiod after leaving his crease during anopposite-end melee.

At five-foot-nine and 160-pounds,Kuppan has been tested mightily at theintermediate level, facing 50-to-60 shotsa game. But it’s a huge jump to the

senior level against pro calibre players.“I was a bit nervous seeing how fast

and how big (the players) are, but afterthe first few shots it was just like anyother game,” he said. “The shots werethe same, just a lot harder.”

In his 25 minutes of action, Kuppanturned aside 15 of 20 shots, including ahuge stick save late in the second period.

Adanacs coach Neil Doddridge saidthere was some concern when Athertonwas thrown out, but there was noneafter the stand-in stared down a coupleof shooters.

“On the bench I remember turning tohim and thinking to myself, ‘Boy, he’sreally young looking.’ But he really did agood job for us,” Doddridge said.

The team changed its defensive strat-egy and actually kept pace in what was a5-5 game over the final 25 minutes.

Coquitlam, who was without BenPrepchuk and Peter Veltman, got afour-goal game from Dane Dobbie in thepenalty-filled game that saw five playershanded game misconducts.

Kuppan said he was pretty sore thenext day in PE class, and had a hardtime convincing some of his Terry Fox

classmates about how he spent Sundayevening.

“They didn’t believe me at first… Butmy mom was posting a lot about it onFacebook.”

While Kuppan showed that he couldfit the bill in a pinch, the club will haveCapicchioni back for practice tomorrow,and plan on having her on the bench inSaturday’s test against undefeated NewWestminster (7 p.m., at the CoquitlamSports Centre).

The 30-year-old member of the U.S.national development team arrived onthe Adanacs doorstep thanks to a tipfrom Tri-City senior B Bandits generalmanager Mike Petrie.

Capicchioni has played recently inthe Ontario major and senior B circuits,honing her skills for the next test.

“As far as goalies go, you can only goas high as the level of the shots you face,so that’s what I’m here for,” Capicchionitold The NOW in a telephone interviewMonday from her home in Oradell, NJ.

Matt Trimble and JamesCain joined forces on aone hitter, propelling theCoquitlam Reds to a 2-0 vic-tory over the Nanaimo PiratesSunday in B.C. PremierBaseball League action.

The left-handed Trimbletossed 108 pitches over six-plus innings to collect hisfourth victory, striking out10 batters in the process. Theperformance cut his league-leading earned runs average to0.80 over 33.2 innings.

“(Trimble) had a real goodouting. He walked a few but hethrew his pitches and Nanaimocouldn’t hit them,” Reds man-ager Kyle Williams said. “Henever would have gone to 108pitches to start the seventhif he didn’t have a no-hitter.They got that hit off him andwe changed (pitchers).”

In the first game of adoubleheader at Mundy Park,Coquitlam got on the board inthe fifth when outfielder GiordiMolinari walked and scored onGreg Labranche’s groundout.Second baseman Kyle Joel,who would finish a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate, drove in thesecond run an inning later forsome insurance.

The Pirates posted theironly hit to lead off the sev-enth against Trimble. A PortCoquitlam product, Trimblegave way to Cain. The right-handed reliever stepped in andrecorded the three outs on sixpitches for the save.

Nanaimo earned a split inthe series with a 10-3 victoryin the nightcap, erasing a 3-2Reds lead with four runs inthe top of the third, and threemore in the sixth.

T.J. Watson took the loss,lasting just two innings andsurrendering five earned runs.

The Coquitlam Ducks were morelike underdogs entering last weekend’sNational Club 15-and-under volleyballchampionships in Calgary.

They exited with a bronze medal.The Ducks put their best feet forward

and climbed the charts as the 21st seed tocollect some well-deserved hardware.

Having finished fifth at the B.C. cham-pionships, Coquitlam kicked off the32-team tourney with a hot stretch ofround-robin wins, starting with a 2-0 vic-tory over the Saskatchewan champs. Aftertopping clubs from Alberta and Manitoba,the Ducks sat first in pool play enteringpower pool action.

They knocked off the Vancouver Sting2-0, Abbotsford’s CVC 2-1 and NAVC ofEdmonton 2-0.

In the quarterfinals, Coquitlam crossedpaths with the NAVC Pandas, who a yearago handed the Ducks a disappointingloss in the natioal bronze medal match.

After dropping the first game, the localcrew bounced back with back-to-back vic-tories for a satisfying 2-1 triumph. It putthe Ducks into the semifinals, where theywere the last B.C. team standing.

Despite giving an all-out effort, thegold-medal run ended with a 2-0 loss (25-19, 25-20) to the Calgary Dinos.

Although ruffled, Coquitlam smoothed

its feathers for the bronze battle, defeat-ing Sherwood Park 2-0 (25-16, 25-23) forits first-ever medal at the nationals.

“Our team played very well, kept theircomposure during high pressure situa-tions and were able to execute at key sit-uations,” said head coach Ryan Vijandre.

Setter Samantha Thompson wasnamed to the all-star team, having deliv-ered both consistency on the court andstrong leadership. Also making majorcontributions in the run were BrittanyAldridge, Madison Burt, Keegan Clemens,Nicole Cornwall, Katie Devanay, GabbyFortin, Kaela Nedeljkovic, OndrayaSwanson and Alex Vrapciu.

Port Moody setter Samantha Thompson puts the ball inplay during recent action with the Coquitlam Ducks.

A pair of Coquitlam minorlacrosse teams carted off goldat last week’s 26th annualDogwood Lacrosse tournament.

Led by golden performancesfrom the peewee A1-1 andmidget A1 squads, the hostassociation collected four med-als on the long weekend.

The peewee A1-1 Adanacsbested Langley 11-8 in the final,with goalie Matthew Caseleypicking up the MVP award.Earlier, they bested Port Moody

17-7, South Edmonton 21-0and Westshore 7-5.

It was a similar story forthe midget A1 Adanacs, whoupended Langley 8-3 in thefinal despite a lineup depletedby injury. Netminder Giulio DelBianco was extremely sharp inbackstopping the decision.

Coquitlam’s bantam A1squad edged New Westminster4-3 in overtime in the semifinalbefore settling for silver.

The peewee A1-A2 Adanacs

also made it to the podium,topping Westshore 6-5 in over-time for the bronze.

PORT COQUITLAMJack Cowie was sensa-

tional in kicking out morethan 25 shots, leading the PortCoquitlam bantam C Saintsto a 4-1 victory over NewWestminster last week.

Cowie allowed just one goal,which came with 2:12 left inthe game, to set the tone.

Riley Zaporozan and HenryZhang both contributed on thescoresheet, while Jordan Palkwas a force for the Saints.

• Behind ReaghanChadwick’s seven-goal effort,the PoCo girls midget lacrosseteam beat Delta 12-7 last week.

Chipping in with two goalsapiece were Zoey Chan andDanita Stroup, while CourtneyWashington also tallied. KaityVanderkooy contributed threeassists.

upfront with me. They’re look-ing for someone to help inpractice until they get one oftheir guys back, so I’m glad to

get the opportunity.”She backed up Atherton in

Saturday’s 13-11 loss, whichturned in Langley’s favour dur-ing an eight-goal second period.

“It was a big period (for

Langley), their top scorers real-ly stepped up and took advan-tage of some mismatches,”Doddridge said. “We made itclose, but Langley just held on.”

Garrett Billings led the

Thunder with four goals, whileAlex Turner chipped in a hattrick. The Adanacs’ top shooterswere Cory Conway, Jason Jones,Daryl Veltman and Dobbie withtwo goals apiece.
