Summer school up in the air in SD43Classes supposed to start on July 7

By Diane StrandbergTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Thousands of students who have signed up for summer school in School District 43 will have to wait until July 3 to learn if their classes will go ahead.

And for high school students waiting for re-port cards, information will be available after July 4.

SD43 superintendent Tom Grant said Thursday that SD43 will wait until a few days before sum-mer classes are sched-uled to start on July 7 to decide whether to pro-ceed, in the hopes that a

resolution between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the province’s bar-gaining arm, BC Public School Employers ’ Association, strike a deal.

“In a day or two, we can have things up and running,” Grant said of summer school if a deal is reached.

Six guys, one 41-foot boat & 2,308 nautical miles: Tri-City crew in Vic-Maui yacht racePoMo skipper and crew to take part in big race

By Janis WarrenThe Tri-CiTy News

Alan Slater isn’t so concerned about winning the Vic-

Maui International Yacht Race. 

The Port Moody skipper and owner of Bedlam II just wants to see the finish line.

It will be the second time the 41-foot sloop has crossed the Pacific Ocean for the biennial race. (The first time was in 1980, when she sailed 2,308 nautical miles from Victoria, down the coast to around the San Francisco area, and on the high seas and into the harbour at Lahaina, Maui.)

But it will be the first for Slater and his crew: Gordon Penner, Gary McKinnon and Devin Jain of Port Moody, Coquitlam’s Kevin Treharne and John Johnstone of Vancouver.

Together, their average age is 55 and none has sailed such a distance before.

“It’s going to be a tough assignment,” said Slater, who sails today (Friday) for Victoria.

For a year, the team has been prepping for the adventure, getting ready to check off the bucket-list item.

Slater estimates they’ve spent up to $70,000 to upgrade Bedlam II, a 46-year-old fibreglass Redline boat with the jet black hull he bought three years ago and docks at the Vancouver Rowing Club. They did all the work themselves: rebuild-

ing the masthead and spreaders and replac-ing some shrouds, the backstay and most of the running rigging, among other things.

As well, their ground crew — Catherine Kluane Larsen and Nancy Scott — have helped with the food. Because they have little storage in their cramped quarters, they’ve had to provision Bedlam II with dried or dehydrated ingredients and mixes. And with no water maker onboard, the drinking fluid will also have to be rationed.

Food and beverage

are only one challenge, though.

During the two weeks travelling to Maui, the crew will be sleep de-prived, working in shifts of four hours each. They won’t be able to shower during the trip and will face strong winds — up to 50 knots.

They’re also likely to encounter the doldrums as well, “when there’s nothing to do” but to wait for the prevailing winds to pick up in low-pressure areas.

And with McKinnon on board — a childhood friend who trekked with Slater to the base camp

of Mt. Everest in 2012 — there will be a battery of bad jokes, the skipper said with a laugh.

But they won’t always be alone on the course.

For the 24th edition of the race, Sail #2507 will be joined by 14 other boats from the Vancouver Rowing Club, the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and the West Vancouver Yacht Club plus, from Washington State, the Anacortes Yacht Club, the Milltown Sailing Association, the Gig Harbor Yacht Club, CYC Tacoma and the Port Madison Yacht Club.

They’ll have a wide au-

dience, too, as they plan to document their experi-ence via satellite/GPS communication devices (follow them on Twitter at @svBedlam2).

Best of all, when they navigate their way into the Lahaina harbour — no matter what hour — Slater said they’ll be greeted Hawaiian-style: With a well-deserved case of cold beer and leis from the Lahaina Yacht Club, which sponsors the race with the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club.

“I’ll just be happy if we make it,” Slater said.

The architect is posi-tive Bedlam II will be a

stable ride (last year, she was the Vancouver Rowing Club’s boat of the year). They’ve sailed her in pre-qualifying events such as Swiftsure and the Southern Straits — in the latter, they faced winds gusting up to 40 knots — and she handled well despite her age, Slater said. In fact, Bedlam II placed third in the Straits.

For the Vic-Maui race, which launches July 3, the rig will be the eldest in the fleet.

Still, what Slater isn’t so confident about is whether they’ll have everything they need for the expedition. “I’m sure we’ll be missing some-thing. We’ll probably figure it out just as we sail away.”[email protected]

5,479 students signed up for summer school in SD43; CUPE deal isn’t done

No matter what hap-pens, students and par-ents can get information on the district’s website (www.sd43.bc.ca) and plans are in place to email them.

As many as 5,479 stu-dents have registered for summer courses in SD43, including remedial classes, those taken for high school credit, second-ary skill building and pro-grams for elementary and middle school students.

As well, the lucrative international education program runs summer ESL and cultural courses for international students.

As long as teach-ers remain off the job, CUPE workers are also affected, said Local 561 president Dave Ginter.

For example, custo-dians and clerical staff expecting to work at

schools hosting summer programs don’t know if they will have a job to go to if the strike contin-ues through the summer while custodians who work at schools that are closed for the summer and not behind picket lines may still be able to work and collect pay.

“That causes me noth-ing but nightmares,” Ginter said.

Other CUPE work-ers are affected, too. Some, such as payroll clerks, have been de-clared essential and are working while others on 10-month contracts normally don’t get paid during the summer and

others have either lost or could lose work, and pay, unless they use vacation, sick leave or OT to make up wages.

There’s a provision in a tentative five-year agreement to repay CUPE workers salary lost due to the strike but Ginter said his local has yet to ratify the deal and is waiting to see how local bargaining pro-gresses. CUPE workers, can however, get strike pay if they join teachers on the picket line.

Meanwhile, report card information will be sent out soon. For stu-dents in kindergarten to Grade 8, principals

will be sending a letter to parents. Grade 9 stu-dents will receive a re-port card but in cases where assessment infor-mation is not available, the course will be graded NM, for “no mark.” Grade 10 to 12 students will receive a report card with final grades only. These report cards will be mailed on July 4. Provincial exam marks will also be entered into students’ records.

Information will be sent to parents and is also available at www.sd43.bc.ca. Also, watch tricitynews.com for [email protected]

Cufflinks but no medalsJack Miles’ Second

World War medals are still missing but the 98-year-old veteran was happy to get at least some of his property back.

Cufflinks, watches and documents belonging to the man were found among other items when Coquitlam RCMP offi-cers searched a Surrey home June 14. Police also recovered mail and identification they be-lieve were also stolen.

“Unfortunately, we did not recover the medals,” said Coquitlam RCMP prolific target team su-

pervisor Scott Grimmer. “Nevertheless, Mr. Miles was pretty happy that we found some of his prop-erty.”

Miles’ home was bro-ken into on May 30. Several days after the theft, police found a sto-len van with forensic evidence that allowed them to identify a sus-pect. Investigators were led to Jaylene Hawkins, a 23-year-old Surrey woman who is now fac-ing one count each of theft of mail, mischief, un-authorized use of credit card data, possession of stolen property and

breach of a condition.“We are working with

Surrey RCMP as well as other policing agencies in the surrounding area to follow up with the evidence that we seized, and are considering ad-ditional criminal charges for Ms. Hawkins,” said Coquitlam RCMP Staff Sgt. Paul Willms.

Still, Miles would like to get his medals back. Police said that anyone with information should contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. [email protected]

Roger that: Field Day in PoCoRadio operators at

Castle Park in Port Coquitlam will be con-tacting people from around the globe tomor-row (Saturday) as they take part in the annual emergency preparedness Field Day.

The event, which is a worldwide amateur radio competition, will take place between noon and 4 p.m. and residents are encouraged to drop by and watch.

Visitors who make radio contact through the Get on the Air (GOTA) station will help the team earn points as it com-petes to be the highest-

ranked amateur radio team in its category. In 2013, the efforts paid off as the team placed sec-ond in their category in B.C. and third in Canada. There will also be in-formation displays and equipment demonstra-tions.

Field Day is also an important emergency preparedness exercise for EPCOM.

From 5 p.m. Friday to noon Sunday, EPCOM volunteers will eat, sleep and operate the city’s radio equipment at the park for a full 24 hours as part of the competi-tion. The team must be

prepared to be totally self-sufficient — in-cluding using alternate power sources, such as solar power, to run the equipment — in an at-tempt to simulate con-ditions that could be encountered during an emergency or disaster.

Castle Park (2252 Castle Cres.) is off Citadel Drive. For more informat ion about EPCOM, go to www.epcom.ca or email [email protected]. Course listings and volunteer opportunities are also available at www.portco-quitlam.ca/[email protected]

‘Common sense,’ says son Sam Noh

This week, more than 750 people signed a peti-tion, available at change.org, calling for the intro-duction of a Silver Alert program in B.C. that would alert authorities and the media in such cases.

Sam Noh said the pe-tition was put online by volunteers who support his efforts to promote a system that could pre-vent other families from losing their loved ones.

“This doesn’t change our situation but it seems like a common sense solution,” said Noh, who said he has sent letters lobbying for a Silver Alert program to MLAs and Coquitlam RCMP, and will meet with B.C.’s new seniors advocate, Isobel Mackenzie, this week. A private mem-bers bill for a Silver Alert program was also introduced in the legis-lature by Coquitlam-Maillardville NDP MLA Selina Robinson earlier this year.

For Noh, the lobbying effort is meaningful as he and his family deal with lack of closure because their Shin Noh’s remains

have never been found. Noh believes his dad would have been found if a Silver Alert program had been in place be-cause Burke Mountain construction workers who saw him shortly after he left home would have known to call po-lice right away. Instead, it wasn’t until a few days later after they saw his picture in the media that they called police. By then, Noh, then 64, disap-peared.

The petition notes that with the number of Alzheimer’s and demen-tia cases increasing, a Silver Alert program is necessary to help raise awareness when people with the disease, who are known to wander, go missing.

Similar to the Amber Alert program used to alert authorities to ab-ducted children, Silver Alert is available in sev-eral U.S. states.

But local BC Liberal MLA Linda Reimer says the province wants to do more research before making a decision on the program. Reimer said the province’s new se-niors’ advocate is famil-iar with dementia issues and will be making the idea of a Silver Alert an “area of focus.”

As well, the Port M o o d y - C o q u i t l a m MLA said, B.C. RCMP are working with the Alzheimer Society of BC on a wandering reg-istry and a program in Ontario to provide po-lice with dementia train-ing and families with a Safely Home kit is being monitored by the prov-ince to see if it’s a good model for this province.

Meanwhile, Noh said he, his mother and sis-ter miss their father, who was also a grandfather. Still, no memorial service is planned.

“We’re moving for-ward,” he said, “but we haven’t yet moved on.”[email protected]

Still no piano

Po r t M o o d y council decided Tuesday not to spend money on storage for a piano the city does not have.

Council voted to put off any deci-sions on budget-ing for storage for a baby grand after several councillors expressed concerns that the city was putting the “cart be-fore the horse” by considering a pro-posal to put $40,000 in the 2015-’19 budget plan when there is no piano.

But it was also noted that a com-munity fundraising effort to buy a baby grand for recitals and concerts in the Inlet Theatre can’t start until a storage plan is finalized.

According to a report prepared for Tuesday’s council meeting, a piano could be suspended from the ceiling above the stage at the Inlet Theatre, then raised and lowered by a sin-gle staff member. The cost would be $40,000 for instal-lation, including a sizable contin-gency, but ongoing costs would be af-fordable for users.

Council voted to receive the report, leaving open the possibility of recon-sidering the cost item if the commu-nity gifts the city with a piano.

PoMo’s manager of cultural services, Devin Jain, told council the city could generate rev-enue from concerts if it had a piano in the theatre.

CPR fundraiser for AEDsSt. John Ambulance

volunteers will be doing a CPR drill for seven hours straight at Coquitlam Centre this weekend to raise money for auto-mated external defibrilla-tors in public spaces.

Marie Lavoie, a com-munications co-ordinator for the organization, said 40,000 Canadians suffer sudden cardiac arrests each year and AEDs can significantly increase a victim’s chance of sur-vival.

St. John Ambulance is

working to make AEDs available in more public spaces so people suffer-ing from heart attacks can get the help they need quickly, she said.

“We understand that these devices are quite expensive,” Lavoie said. “The machines can cost between $1,300 and $4,000.”

The CPR-a-Thon at Coquitlam Centre mall will see a group of between 10 and 12 volunteers adminis-ter chest compressions

on a dummy from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. St. John Ambulance is hoping to raise $16,000 for the acquisition of more defi-brillators.

Other events will be held at the Burnaby Fa r m e r ’ s M a r k e t , Capilano Mall in North Vancouver, Lansdowne Centre and Richmond Centre in Richmond, and Haney Place Mall in Maple Ridge.

Truck hit two vehicles, then struck elderly PM woman

“The truck ultimately collided with two ve-hicles parked side-by-side at the traffic light,” said Port Moody Police Department Insp. Ken MacDonald. “After collid-ing with the vehicles, it flipped and subsequently struck the female.”

MacDonald said it is still too early to say what caused the crash and ac-cident reconstruction ex-perts continue to inves-tigate.

But he told The Tri-

City News that police have seized the truck in-volved in the crash and are looking closely at the condition of the vehicle’s brakes. He added that a witness told investiga-tors the flatbed’s brakes were smoking as it came down Heritage Mountain and approached the in-tersection.

“We are considering — just considering — the possibility of a brake failure,” he said. “I can’t say that our investigators have determined that yet.”

Pleshko was travel-ling back to her home after shopping with her daughter at Thrifty’s in Suterbrook when the crash occurred. The daughter, MacDonald said, was about 300 feet behind her mother at the time of the collision and was not injured.

The driver of the flat-bed was taken to hos-pital with a concussion and a leg injury while the driver of the SUV was taken to hospital with neck and back pain. Another victim who was

driving a Toyota Celica suffered a concussion and a broken ankle.

The crash, in which a lamp post and traffic light control box were demolished, led to the closure of the intersec-tion for about 15 hours while accident investi-gators conducted their work. By 6:15 a.m. Wednesday, the road was re-opened and Wednesday morning’s commute occurred with-out incident.

Mossom rebuild gets OKMossom Creek hatch-

ery’s rebuilding project moved a step closer to reality Tuesday after Port Moody council unani-mously approved build-ing permit and develop-ment permit applications.

A ground-breaking cer-emony for the project is to take place July 17 and the Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society, which runs the hatchery, expects to have a shell of the building ready in time for salmon spawning sea-

son in October.But $150,000 in fund-

ing still must be raised this summer to get the bare-bones first phase of the project completed.

Meanwhile, a gala fundraising event to help close the funding gap is

planned for Sunday, July 13 in the Galleria at Port Moody city hall, featur-ing a gourmet salmon barbecue and auction. Tickets are $45 and are available by calling 604-787-9758 or going to www.mossomcreek.org.

HATCHERYPROJECT

Mounties seek theft suspectCard used two weeks after theft

By Gary McKennaThE TrI-CITy NEWS

Coquitlam RCMP are seeking the public’s as-sistance in identifying a man who has been using a stolen credit card.

A victim told Mounties she remembered using her credit card at a drive-through of a local eatery

on April 14 but only real-ized two days later that she did not get her card back.

She immediately con-tacted the credit card company but was in-formed that someone had used the card on April 25 at another res-taurant.

Investigators were able to obtain CCTV im-ages from the restaurant and are now asking the public to help identify

the suspect. Anyone with any in-

formation on the iden-tity of the man in the photo accompanying this story is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2014-10726. Those who wish to pro-vide information anony-mously can do so by calling 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or going to [email protected] This suspect is believed to have used a stolen credit card.

Council orders demoPort Coquitlam council is giving the Pitt River

Marina 60 days to demolish and remove a derelict building that floated off its supports during a high-water surge four years ago.

The remedial order for the property, which staff said has become littered with debris and has been the subject of numerous complaints of unsightli-ness, was unanimously approved during Monday night’s meeting.

According to a staff report, if the owners of the building do not comply with the city directives, staff have permission to enter the property and conduct the work themselves at the owner’s expense.

Someone had been living in the home after it was knocked off its supports but the city posted a do-not-occupy order “based on the poor condition of the building and a concern for the safety of the tenant living there,” said a staff report.

A letter to B.C. Education Minister Peter Fassbender:

For the 17 years that my children have been in the education system, I have been extremely lucky to have a job with

flexible hours. I was able to volunteer at my children’s schools and it has been an incred-ible experience. I have had the opportunity to drive on field trips, volunteer in classrooms, run fundraisers and sit on school planning councils (SPCs) and parent advisory councils (PACs). I have worked with teachers, adminis-trators and coaches.

When I started volunteering as part of the school community, sitting on SPCs was excit-ing. While working on school plans, we would research best practices in helping struggling learners; at a district level, we would have eve-nings trying to decide our priorities in spend-ing.

Very quickly, however, SPCs became about how far we could push class size and com-position. At the district level, it became about deciding on what could be cut.

In the 2010/’11 school year, my fellow SPC parent rep and I became horrified at the class composition at the middle school level and the time, effort and money spent on grievances. We wrote to George Abbott, who was then the minister of education. The response was to take up the issue with our school board. We followed his advice and the response from the board was that there was not enough funding to address class composition issues.

Three years on, with further cuts in the edu-cation system, the ministry is still refusing to acknowledge the issues. You govern through

talking points indicating that there is more per-pupil funding than ever. Even after being presented with a binder full of families’ stories highlighting the lack of services, you stood in the house and repeated your talking points. A teacher presented you with documented class size and composition issues, and there is still silence from you. You gleefully announce our graduation rate without acknowledging that

the students graduating today only saw the beginning of cuts.

You tell us the education system must wait until the economy improves before we will see additional funding. We would wait if we could but we cannot tell kids who need extra ser-vices to wait. Their needs are now.

Are we to let a generation fall behind while we wait for the economy to improve? We are already seeing a drop in international testing scores. We will soon be seeing a drop in gradu-ation rates.

Mr. Fassbender, I urge you and your govern-ment to acknowledge the problems with our system. I beg you to look at the needs of the system and calculate resources needed rather than imposing a budget that does not consider increased costs. Bring resources to the table to repair some of the damage done to the system. Settle with the teachers.

And when peace is restored in the system, we will need to talk about funding for supplies, tech-nology, seismic upgrading and capital projects.Ramona Chu is a Coquitlam resident and mother.

Stone-y silenceThe region’s mayors got a dressing down this

week from Transportation Minister Todd Stone.It would seem that Attila the Hun is more of

a pushover than Stone, who is not prepared to share Lower Mainland proceeds from the provincial carbon tax with TransLink for road and transit improvements because of concerns it would negate his government’s promise to make the tax revenue-neutral.

But he’s game to let the mayors go to the voters on an-other, different, carbon tax, or hike property taxes — big surprise, pushing an unpopular decision on to a lower level of government — further to fill their funding gap.

As for other ways of raising dough, such as mobility pricing (making people pay more for driving further), or getting more money from the feds, he was also luke-warm, suggesting the mayors’ reach either exceeded their grasp or that they needed to do more homework on their proposal.

Thus, developing a suitable referendum question will likely be put off until the fall.

They needn’t look for any help from the province, though. All they’re likely to get is a Stone-y stare.

QQQthe THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

Do you support using a portion of the current carbon tax to raise money for road and transit improvements?

LAST WEEK’S QUESTION:Do you think all teaching duties at the end of the school year should be deemed essential services?

The Editor,It is wrong-headed

to suggest, as seems the fashion, that the BC Teachers’ Federation and the provincial gov-ernment are equally to blame for the current im-passe or, even worse, that teachers are just asking for too much.

The linchpin is this government’s hardbitten intransigence in disobey-ing two Supreme Court judgments ordering it to negotiate class compo-sition/size — i.e., learn-ing conditions — which is teachers’ number one concern. They proved it by dramatically dropping salary demands to below what is fair (considering a history of less than 1% a year in the last 16 years).

The real working life of a typical teacher con-sists of 10+ hour days with further evening and weekend overtime, in classrooms overloaded with a mix of mostly un-supported special needs cases that make teaching itself well-nigh impossi-ble. Teachers now endure stress to levels unimagi-

nable in most jobs.Government has been

eager to save hundreds of millions by placing special needs children in regular classes but has simply not followed up by providing enough support workers to make that policy successful; rather, special needs bud-gets have been progres-sively cut.

Critiques are answered by propaganda, false ad-vertising and prevarica-tion — also how they win elections. The most re-cent example is the non-sense ad about teachers’ demands being outside

the “affordability zone,” which apparently does not exist for rich corpo-rations behind mega-projects or debt incurred through government mis-

management (e.g., the hydro debt to California).

Meantime, several groups have, in fact, achieved contracts out-side the magic “zone”, including police officers, firefighters, bus drivers and employees of BC Hydro, BCIT, SkyTrain and more.

The hidden agenda here is privatization via slow strangulation.

There is no underfund-ing? Really? Why, then, have districts across B.C., despite maximized fund-raising efforts and extra income from programs such as international education, resorted to laying off droves of teach-

ers with even nine years experience, including in vital areas such as library services?

Teachers now have their backs to the wall with intolerable class-room conditions and sub-standard wages because the government hasn’t obeyed the law for 12 years. Victoria’s appeal of the two judgments is a cynical ploy to avert or delay truly investing in public education while supporting private edu-cation, enabling small classes there.

Are the rest of our chil-dren not good enough? “Families first”? Pfah!Felix Thijssen, Coquitlam

‘Privatization via strangulation’ ‘Buy local’ vs. CETAThe Editor,

Re. “City contracts topic at Sept. workshop” (The Tri-City News, June 18).

The recent talk at Coquitlam council about the city “buying local” is admirable but may be too late. Where was council when the federal govern-ment started to push the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with Europe? It is more far-reaching than NAFTA and prohibits any Canadian city from placing value on local content in goods, services or construction projects they purchase.

This means, should a European corporation also bid on a job, Coquitlam will not be allowed to favour anyone based on how much Canadian or local con-tent their product or service contains. The corollary is Coquitlam firms would be able to bid on European jobs. That is a good thing but I worry not as good as being able to mandate local supply if we so choose.

There has been an astounding lack of public-ity on the pros and cons of this agreement. I don’t want time and money spent developing policies with nice sounding names like Buy Local Bylaw to make me feel good about whom I may or may not vote for, when they are designed to fail.Ken Holowanky, Coquitlam

THEY DIG ITA living history experi-ence is being created by volunteers just in time for Canada Day on Tuesday. From left, Cary Price, Guy Black and Markus Fahrner, with Virginia, Sean and Cameron, are digging a trench and filling sandbags to simulate the living con-ditions of First World War soldiers. Black and Price will spend the night in the McKnight trench (named for a Port Moody WWI engineer who was killed in the conflict). They will wear replica First and Second World War uniforms, and cook and eat their meals and sleep in the trench in an effort to better under-stand McKnight’s wartime experience. On July 1, you can visit the trench at Port Moody Station Museum and take part in activities and celebrations to honour the military from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with opening ceremonies at 11:30 a.m.

New garbage system rolling out next week in CoquitlamNew pickup days for some along with new carts

By Janis WarrenThe Tri-CiTy News

Th e ro l l o u t f o r Coquitlam’s new gar-bage, green waste and recycling pickup starts next week, after Canada Day.

And city hall staff will be on standby, extend-ing their customer ser-vice hours for two weeks to help guide residents through the transition, which includes, for many residents, a change in pickup days.

Starting July 2, when the change-over hap-pens, the city’s engineer-ing department hotline will be open for 12 hours a day. Call 604-927-3500 from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. for more informa-tion about the new auto-mated system, handled by BFI Canada.

For those residents who are unaware, here’s the lowdown with the new municipal collection:

• Garbage will be picked up every other week.

• Food scraps and yard

trimmings will be picked up weekly.

• Recycling will be picked up weekly (by Smithrite, which has been contracted by Multi-Material BC).

Items not allowed in the garbage include: re-cyclables, oil or oil filters, rocks, dirt, sod, pesti-cides, electronics, medi-cations and pet waste. Tracy Kyle, Coquitlam’s acting manager of en-vironmental services, said doggie doo should be dropped in the toilet and the used bag put in the trash cart; cat solids should also be filtered out and disposed of in the toilet.

Residents who repeat-edly flout the solid-waste bylaw by placing such

banned waste in their garbage, as well as those who leave their garbage outside the cart or outside the specified times, could face fines up to $1,000.

Some other require-ments under the new Coquitlam system:

• Residents must place their garbage or green waste carts at the curb-side between 5:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. on pickup day — not the night be-fore.

• Carts must be placed one metre away from each other, and 1.5 m away from any vehicles, with the arrows on the carts pointing toward the road.

Residents are asked to review the new col-lection schedule that is inside the new city carts, which were deliv-ered over the last month along with kitchen catch-ers (which hold organic waste that can then be transferred to the green waste cart).

Kyle said the collec-tion zones have been reorganized for some residents to accommo-date the rapidly grow-ing Monday zone in northeast Coquitlam. The zone change affects about 7,400 Coquitlam

homes. To confirm your new collection day, visit coquitlam.ca/curbside-collection, where you can type in your address to determine your pickup schedule.

As for the old garbage cans, the city will be col-lecting them this fall. But if your can has a 1, 2, 4 or 5 recycling code and you wish to get rid of it earlier, you may take it to Wastech on United Boulevard to be recycled for free.

Meanwhile, Coquitlam residents who get city garbage collection will also see a change to their recyclables pickup start-ing on July 2.

The industry group Multi-Material BC is han-dling the recycling col-lection in Coquitlam and, Kyle said, under the new weekly system, residents will place at the curb their existing blue boxes and blue and yellow bags, plus the new light-blue box for glass that was delivered along with the new garbage carts.

• Visit coquitlam.ca/trashtalk for information on the new garbage sys-tem. To learn more about MMBC, visit multimate-rialbc.ca. [email protected]

PM ponders picking up glass at curb againNo depots, says council, let’s look at glass pickup

By Diane StrandbergThe Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody residents frustrated to the break-ing point by not being able to put glass in their recycling bins may get some relief if a proposal to establish monthly curbside pickup for breakables goes ahead.

On Tuesday, council didn’t act on a staff rec-ommendation that the city set up depots for people to drop off glass, which is no longer ac-cepted in recycling carts under new Multi-Material BC rules. The city’s engi-neering and park services

department has instead been asked for more in-formation on the poten-tial costs and benefits of monthly curbside pickup, at the suggestion of Coun. Gerry Nuttall.

Under the plan, which could cost between $20 and $35 a year per house-hold, glass could be placed into a small recy-cling box at curbside and

collected by city workers.By signing on to

MMBC, PoMo saved $500,000 a year in gar-bage pickup and Nuttall believes simply passing on the savings without considering the inconve-nience of glass disposal was shortsighted.

“My motion is an at-tempt to correct this situation,” he said. “By re-instating curbside glass pickup, our residents will once again have a full-service pickup.”

He added that depots for drop-offs could be es-tablished as a temporary measure until full pickup can be arranged.

Staff are expected to report back on costs of curbside glass pickup at a future meeting, possi-bly in July or this [email protected]

Alouest is a dynamic musical group from Maillardville in Coquitlam. Taking inspiration from groups like La Bottine Souriante and Great Big Sea, Alouest takes great care in representing the stories and traditions of the francophone cultures of North America. Powerful vocal harmonies with guitars, upright base, � ddles, accordian, piano, mandolin, banjo, and an array of folk percussion instruments bring a “West Coast style” to Alouest’s music as it moves from French folk to Celtic, from Bluegrass to Old Time � ddling — and even an occassional sprinkling of Latin and Jazz.

One Side Band was founded when a musician and an event planner came together to create a dream-come-true for clients and musicians alike: A seriously rocking, jaw droppingly talented band that can play everything from Sinatra to Macklemore and everything in between. But a band that would never, ever, EVER touch the chicken dance with a 10 foot pole. And to top it all off, it’s at a price that won’t make you gag either.

Greg Drummond’s beginnings as a songwriter are not with the grandeur that many musicians claim to have started with—they are humble and they are honest. Growing terri� ed with the concept of his monotonous corporate lifestyle, he saved up enough money to live off of for a year and quit his sales job to pursue his passion—a career in music. It was not the perceived glamour of a rock-star’s life that called him to the profession; it was the struggle to earn his living through his art form.Born and raised in Port Moody BC, Greg Drummond’s current music style shows in� uence from the era of traditional Appalachian Folk music with a modern Southern Rock transformation. Greg’s true strength in music lies in his songwriting. His songs are stories of struggle, adventure, and the crazy experiences of life. Paired with his deep and distinguishing voice and toe-tapping melodies, Greg’s lyricism allows his audience to be transported to a place and time offering them an escape from their comfortable reality.

CANADA DAYPORT MOODY

Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Lindi Ortega wrote her � rst song, Faded Dress at just seventeen. After almost ten years working odd jobs to support her musical ambitions Lindi signed with Last Gang Records and released the two-time Juno nominated album, Little Red Boots in 2011. Her sophomore release, 2012’s Cigarettes & Truckstops was long-listed for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize last year and received much critical acclaim. With a style that has been described as a blend of Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash and Emmylou Harris, Ortega continues to strive for musical excellence. After relocating to Nashville, Tennessee at the end of 2011, Ortega’s most recent recording is heavily in� uence by her adopted city but also a reminder of her beginnings.

Safety Tip:As the summer BBQ season and Canada Day celebrations kick off, it’s important to remember how deadly of a combination drinking and driving can be. Arrange for

a designated driver or use other options to get home safely.

Question of the WeekBob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into! Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills?

Lincoln luxury at a non-premium priceSanta Barbara, Calif. - The MKC is the first (luxury) compact utility vehicle from Lin-coln and, while related, it’s very different from the Ford Escape. Development of both vehicles started with Ford’s global “C” platform, but other than its base 2.0 litre turbo-engine, the MKC has little else in common with its Ford counterpart. All-wheel-drive is standard (in Canada) on all three editions of the MKC and a start price just under $40,000 is also inviting compared to other luxury CUVs such as the Acura RDX ($41,390) and BMW X3 ($42,800). (A top-line Ford Escape, by the way, is listed at $35,699). The MKC is the second of four all-new product launches intended to redefine Lincoln. The first being the Lincoln MKZ last year, an all-new MKX is expected next year and a, so-far unnamed, full-sized sedan will follow. The new Lincoln styling theme includes smooth clean lines a slick shape (described as “graceful ath-leticism”) and up front, there’s a contemporary take on the traditional Lincoln split-wing grille.Another eye-catching feature of the MKC is around back, a huge wraparound lift gate includes full-width LED rear lighting assemblies. This unique one-piece hydro-formed steel door opens like a clamshell and allows complete access to the cargo area. An optional hands-free feature also allows it to open with a kick-ing motion below the rear bumper. The MKC also has a roomy feel to its interior, particu-larly for front seat occupants. A dash that slants away, towards the windshield, adds to its airy ambiance. It’s also a much quieter cabin than its stable mate, with numerous built-in sound deadening features that in-clude a noise control system that eliminates unwanted sound waves and enhances others. Available inside accent trims include brushed alumi-num or open-pore Zebrano and Santos Rosewood that

can be matched with standard, made in Scotland, Bridge of Weir “Deepsoft” leather upholstery. The premium car ex-perience actually starts as you approach the MKC with an accent welcoming lighting feature that’s automatically ac-tivated (by the key fob) when an owner is within 2.4 metres (8-ft). Our 320-kilometre-plus route took us away from the coast along the scenic Jacento Reyes Byway. This lightly trav-elled twisty two-lane road gets narrow in sections. It also presented some spectacular vistas along the way and some intimidating cliff faces and rock formations.I was impressed with the MKC’s predict-able handling characteristics through the twisty sections. It was stable, very forgiving at higher speeds and generally more agile than expected for a utility

vehicle - especially after I finally figured out how to set-up the driving modes, called Lincoln Drive Control. The normal, comfort and sport settings for the sus-pension and steering are preset (via vehicle settings on the instrument panel and customizable to a limited extent) by a driver to function with “D” and “S” transmission selections. It’s a different and somewhat complex way of providing this feature. Push-button transmission selection is another feature that I wouldn’t get excited about. I get the space-sav-ing functionality and the historic connection to Lin-coln, but still prefer a shift lever. Manual operation of the transmission’s six speeds can be done via paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The shifts, however, could be crisper and the system tends to be very pro-tective of the engine (over-revving) on downshifts. Only MKC vehicles with the new 2.3-litre twin-scroll turbo engine were available to drive at this U.S. event, which would price tag them close to $50,000 in Can-ada. An impressively smooth and quiet performer (in this application) this engine can produce 285-horse-

power compared to the base 2.0-litre’s 240-horsepow-er, which is the top engine in an Escape. As you might expect, the 2.0L engine gets better fuel economy, but the difference is minimal and both can run on regular grade fuel. All the latest driver-assist technologies are avail-able with MKC including, adaptive cruise control, a collision warning system, blind-sport alert, cross-traffic alert and park assist, with a unique new wrinkle... park-out assist. This added feature can now auton-omously steer that MKC out of that tight parallel parking spot into which it put the MKC! Lincoln may be a little late in joining the booming compact luxury utility club, but the MKC is certainly an impressively well put-together new member and it’s priced to sell.

Stowe, VermontDespite the relatively early call time, a group of almost 100 Mazda Miata/MX-5 drivers/passengers gathers for the morning’s meeting.The weather is looking favourable even though the a.m. envelops the crowd with its chilliness. It’s not raining though. That’s a good sign.Tour organizer and former Trillium Miata Club presi-dent, Gary Svoboda, talks about the day’s journey, addresses some basic housekeeping rules, makes some jokes and engages in witty banter with a group of excited Miata enthusiasts.Everyone is ready to hit the roads of Vermont in their tiny, drop top, two-doors. Everything from first gener-ations Miatas, to the latest and greatest rear-wheel drive roadsters line the gravel parking lot of our home base, also known as the Stowehof Inn.Stowe, VT’s claim to fame is as a ski destination. Currently, its claim to fame is the 46 Mazdas that drove in from Ontario and are congregating for their

annual tour.Each May long weekend, a group of club members look forward to the event. It’s been going for over 20 years and hasn’t disap-pointed. The crowd gets rowdier by the minute so go-time is just around the corner.The meeting wraps up; we branch into our respective groups and fire up the engines. As honorary members for the event, my co-pilot –

aka my mother Zsuzsanna Straub – and I get behind the wheel of our MX-5. Within moments, we’re topless. (The car — not us!)Seven vehicles comprise a group, including a leader and a sweeper. We’re

comfortably nestled in the bosom of the pack. Our job is to enjoy our-selves, as well as give the MX-5 a little bit of room to romp free.It’s hard not to smile on the undulating roads of

Vermont, which are lined with trees, houses, fields and topped off with a bovine scent!Then there is what is called “The Notch.” A mountain road where emaciated limbs of indigenous trees

look like they’re reaching out and trying to touch the cars. Boulders are scattered and the path is paved around it. The intermittent obstacles would likely be the outcome of two Greek gods having a rock fight. You would have to have superhuman strength to move them.The sinuous and slender road is a hoot to drive through especially with no one in front of you. The occasional crackling on the CB radios frequently is overpowered by instruc-tions from the leader. Like a mother duck summoning her young, we followed in order. We stuck together and took in some breathtaking scenery of New England. Scenery aside, what was the most interesting to breathe in was the enthusiasm and energy of the Miata owners.Liz Burns has “Miatatude” stickered across her windshield. Miata earrings dangle from her ears as she professes her love of her emerald beauty.Another owner decided to turn his conventional doors

into ones that open up not out.At breakfast, lunch and din-ner, they regale each other with stories of other events they’ve been on. Outbursts of laughter perk up the ears of bystanders; making them wish they were at that table reliving the memories. The camaraderie of those young and young at heart is indisputable.Regardless of background, profession, or preference in exterior colour, few vehicles in the world bring people together as strongly as Mazda’s MX-5.Liz was one of the first members of the Trillium Miata Club. She expected to join a group of Miata owners and drive with them on weekends. Liz says she “didn’t expect to make friends for 25 years” but she did.And as the Miata/MX-5 turns 25 this year, here’s to another quarter century of promote the best that life has to offer: the bond of mankind and machine, 167 horsepower at a [email protected]

Club members are Miata mates for life

The 2014 Honda Odyssey is ready to take you on your next big messy adventure with the kids and it can help you clean up too. The van features the world’s first in-car vacuum system called the HondaVac. It comes complete with a replaceable filter, canister bag, nozzle accessories, and a hose capable of reaching the front seats. I feel a family email coming on. My sister-in-law Cristina has an Odyssey van and has been transporting a full size shop vac and leaf blower around for years. My two nieces make quite a mess, unlike my tidy offspring. Just kidding.But before we get into an interior clean-up, let’s cast an eye over the vehicle’s exterior looks. It has a stylish hood that sweeps down towards the grille. The headlights are angled up and back giving the profile a sculpted look. Honda refers to the overall design as a lightning bolt. Not only does it provide an exclusive appearance, but also adds increased visibili-ty for third row passengers.Very nice interior, every-thing laid out nicely. So many bells and whistles you almost would want to run through a checklist before driving. Eight-pas-senger seating with a total passenger volume of 4,887 litres, whatever, that means. And all those passengers get thirsty so Honda put in 15 cup holders. The third row is a one-motion 60/40 split ‘Magic’ seat that can accommodate three passengers and still leave 1,087 litres of cargo volume – that’s room for a lot of slushies for later in the journey. The second row is a 3 mode seating with fold down center console. Driver and front passenger seats are captain’s chairs that are very comfortable. My tester included a leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, channel selector, cruise control, and hands-free telephone button. The instrument panel is eas-ier to read, thanks to a little tweaks by the engineers. Satellite-linked Navigation screen with trilingual voice recognition, 3D map and FM traffic is also available that uses GPS technology and a 60GB hard drive based operating system that provides the driver

with turn-by-turn voice guidance to their chosen destination. The screen also is used for the back-up camera that offers three dif-ferent views, normal view, wide angle, and top down. Both side sliding doors open automatically via the key fob or a switch on the dash. A 270-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with MP3/Windows Media audio playback and seven speakers including a sub-woofer is standard, with a 650-watt and 12-speaker version also available. The i-MID or intelligent Multi information Display has the ability to display your incoming text messag-es while in park and read them out too you while driving. I had one driving home late one night and it said “your dinner is in the garbage, have a nice day” must have been a glitch. The available rear enter-tainment system features a huge 16.2-inch screen that includes two wireless headsets with personal surround sound. Safety is paramount with mini-van owners; the Odyssey earned a 2013 IIHS top safety pick and is the only minivan with a 5-star safety rating from the NHTSA. It comes standard with vehicle stability assist, side curtain airbags, and active front seat head restraints that are de-signed to help reduce neck injury in the event of a rear collision. There are also five lower anchors and tethers for children. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes and tire pressure-monitoring system are standard. There’s also an available land departure warning system. It utilizes on-board cameras to deter-mine if you’re drifting too far out of your lane without using your turn signal.The engine is a 3.5 litre, 24 valve, SOHC, i-VTEC V6 that produces 248 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. The engines

variable cylinder manage-ment system allows the engine to run on three, four or six cylinders depending on the requirements. All models receive a 6-speed automatic transmission. The combination makes the drive that much more com-fortable and [email protected]

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Heritage-style elegance is at top of mind at Polygon’s Kingston House, a collection of two-bedroom apartment residences in a master-planned community that is inspired by an Ivy League legacy.

“You can move in this summer,” says sales manager Judy Rohatyn. “With payments from $899 a month, this is a great opportunity for fi rst-time buyers to purchase a home in the South Surrey market.”

Kingston House is the fi rst apartment collection at Polygon’s Harvard Gardens, a master-planned community that is also

close to top schools, golf courses, shopping and dining.“Th ere’s nothing like this anywhere else,” Rohatyn says.

“Many parents of fi rst-time buyers recognize the great value and are bringing their kids to Kingston House to assist them in buying their fi rst home.”

Th e homes at Kingston House are spacious and inviting, with over-height ceilings on the main and fourth fl oor, generous patios or covered decks, and huge windows. Engineered stone countertops in the kitchen are complemented by fl at-panelled cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Rich wood laminate

fl ooring is featured throughout the main areas, with lush carpeting in the bedrooms. Spa-like bathrooms have designer-selected imported porcelain tile fl ooring, engineered stone countertops and a contemporary patterned hand-set ceramic tile tub and shower surround with marble and glass mosaic tile accents. Th e master ensuite adds another touch of luxury with dual porcelain undermount sinks (most plans) and polished chrome accessories.

Outside, the architecture is inspired by the East Coast, with brick cladding, natural wood soffi ts and black metal detailing.

Homeowners at Kingston House will also have access to Th e Rowing Club; a private residents-only clubhouse featuring over 9,000 sq.ft . of resort-style amenities such as an outdoor pool and spa, gymnasium, fi tness facilities, a screening room and other amenities. A resident concierge will be available to assist with your every need, and two fully furnished suites are available for out-of-town guests.

Two-bedroom homes start at $259,900. For more information, visit by the presentation centre at 152nd Street and 32nd Avenue, open 12 to 6 p.m. daily except Fridays, call 604-541-8092, or visit polyhomes.com.

Premier living at Polygon’s Kingston House

By Kerry Vital

Th e Cottages at Seabright Farm is the largest and newest residential project in Point Roberts. Construction recently started, and Lower Mainland residents are fl ocking to it to purchase their own private piece of paradise.

“You can purchase an ocean-view cottage for less than the price of an average condominium in Vancouver,” says Wayne Knowles of Orca Shores LLC, the project’s

developer.Seabright Farm is comprised of 58 lots

spread across 62 acres of gently sloping south-facing waterfront. Th e large lots (1/4 to 1/2 an acre) off er privacy along with the great views and are located in three distinct zones: the Bluff , the Meadows and the Woodlands. Seabright Farm will also have a barn/community centre, greenhouse, outdoor swimming pool and hot tubs, sauna, community vegetable and fl ower gardens,

and orchards. Th e trails are perfect for running, cycling or horseback riding, and off er direct access to the beach. Because of both the elevation and south slope of the entire property, you’ll fi nd a gorgeous view no matter where you purchase.

Th e cottage plans range from 850 to over 2,500 square feet, in a variety of two-or-more-bedroom fl oor plans. Th e styles include open fl oor plans, stone fi replaces, sunny window seats, hardwood fl ooring, large relaxing decks and covered porches. All of the plans give owners the option to expand their cottages in the future, whether it’s with a guesthouse, a studio or a separate master suite. Covered decks and breezeways can be built between the buildings, and garages (complete with

guest suites) or potting sheds added to truly make your Seabright cottage your own. Th e cottage designs have been specifi cally developed to refl ect the historical summer cottages and simple farm buildings typical of Point Roberts.

Th at character is obvious when you visit the sales centre, which is actually an original farmhouse from the 1890s that’s been outfi tted with fi nds from garage sales and Pottery Barn. It will become an additional gathering place for Seabright owners, along with the barn-themed community hall that will be used as a venue for neighbourhood

gatherings, art shows for local artists, cooking demonstrations, musical performances and wine tastings, among many other things!

And beyond Seabright Farm, Point Roberts has plenty of other things to do, whether you’re staying for a month, a week or just a weekend. Play a round of golf at the 18-hole Point Roberts Golf and Country Club, or pay a visit to the Lighthouse Marine Park to see Orca whales, comb the beach or go clamming or crabbing. Th e 275-acre Lily Point Marine Reserve is just around the beach corner from Seabright Farm, and features sandy bluff s and tidal fl ats. Th e full-service Point Roberts Marina has over 900 slips and is also only minutes away. Th e Point’s unique restaurants and eclectic shops round out the experience.

Canadians looking to purchase a cottage at Seabright Farm will be able to secure attractive long-term fi nancing through a U.S. banking institution with 20 per cent down, and a Real Estate Disclosure Statement has been fi led in British Columbia.

With the opening of the South Fraser Perimeter Road earlier this year and plans to build a new bridge to replace the tunnel on Hwy 99, getting to Point Roberts is becoming that much more convenient from all parts of the Lower Mainland.

Th e pricing at Seabright Farm is also exceptional, with lots starting at $180,000 U.S., while cottage and lot combinations start at $399,000.

For more information about Th e Cottages at Seabright Farm, visit www.seabrightfarmcottages.com, call toll-free at 1-888-732-6915 or email [email protected].

Submitted photosThe Cottages at Seabright Farm are located just minutes from the Lower Mainland, but you’ll easily be able to put your worries aside at your historically inspired cottage in a gorgeous ocean-view location. Tons of amenities are just around the corner, including the Point Roberts Marina.

A’s face big test against VictoriaTop WLA club visits Coquitlam this weekend

By Gary McKennaThe Tri-CiTy NeWs

T h e C o q u i t l a m Adanacs are taking on some tough competi-tion when the Victoria Shamrocks come to town this Saturday.

The island club has dominated the competi-tion so far this season, winning all but one game to take the stop spot in the Western Lacrosse Association standings.

Saturday’s bout will also feature former Adanac Jon Harnett, who left the Coquitlam team for the Shamrocks in 2013.

The A’s split a pair of games last weekend and need to make some headway in the WLA standings if they hope to lock up a playoff berth.

On Saturday, the squad hosted the second place Langley Thunder, taking a 5-3 loss in front of fans at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

Langley drew first blood when Athan Iannucci put the ball past Adanac goalie Adam Shute, but the team evened the scored with a marker from Daryl Veltman before the first 20 minutes ended.

Coquitlam briefly

held a lead in the mid-dle frame, when Matt Delmonico scored short-handed but the Thunder began to pull away later in the period with goals from Brett Baron and Tyler Melynk.

Delmonico scored a second shorty in the third but it was not enough to spark the club’s offence, and the team lost 5-3.

The club’s offence came alive on Sunday w h e n C o q u i t l a m took on the Nanaimo Timbermen at the Frank Crane Arena.

The home team was on its heels for most of the game, with Matthew Dinsdale, Ryan Johnson, Vincent Ricci, Delmonico and Tyler Garrison all scoring in the first period.

Coquitlam kept up the pressure in the second with four more goals before Travis Cornwall rounded out the scor-ing with a third period marker that finished the game 10-4.

Schute was able to stop 21 of the 25 shots he faced in the match while the Adanacs man-aged 52 shots in the game.

Saturday’s match against the Victoria Shamrocks will take place at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Faceoff is at 7 p.m.

Saints dominated in Tri-City matchBy Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy NeWs

They both hail from the Tri-Cities but that is where the similari-ties end between the Port Coquitlam Saints and the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs.

Coquitlam showed its dominance in front of their fans at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex Wednesday

night, decimating the Saints 19-6.

Cole Shafer got things started for the Adanacs, scoring a pair of goals one min-ute apart to kickoff the first period. Johnathan Kraakman scored his lone marker of the game five minutes later, fol-lowed by singles from Brett Kujala, Jake Taylor and a pair of goals from Wesley Berg to close out

the opening period.At the other end of

the rink, the Saints of-fence sputtered as the team failed to get on the scoreboard in the open-ing period and regis-tered only six shots.

Coquitlam kept up the pressure in the sec-ond period, with Eli McLaughlin scored his first of four goals in the game, while Berg picked up the hat trick with his

third.The Saints man-

aged to score a few of their own, with Gordie Phillips netting a pair of goals in the second.

A’s goalie Riley Camazzola stopped 27 of the 33 shots he faced, while Christian DelBianco was perfect in the ten minutes of re-lief work he got during the game.

Bryce Phenix was

chased after the first period, where he let in seven of 19, while Guilio DelBianco stopped 30 of 42 shots he facedin the second and third period.

The Jr. A’s currently sit in second place be-hind New Westminster in the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League sea-son with a 17-1-0 record, while the Saints are in last pace at 2-15-1. [email protected]

This is the first year that the tourna-ment has hosted a female division.

Coquitlam athlete Reagan MacKenzie is heading to Sao Paulo, Brazil as part of Canada’s Team West squad in the Danone Nations Cup.

MacKenzie heading to Brazil for Danone Cup

By Gary McKennaThe Tri-CiTy News

Reagan MacKenzie will be heading to Brazil to compete in the Danone Nations Cup this fall, a soccer com-petition for athletes be-tween 10 and 12 years old.

The Coquitlam play-er’s Team West emerged victorious in a 3-1 win over Team East at the Canadian Selection Team finals in Montreal last week, punching their ticket to Sao Paulo.

“I can’t even imagine representing my country in the Danone Nations Cup,” she said. “They love soccer in Brazil.”

M a c K e n z i e , a Montgomery middle student, tried out for the team six months ago and said she was ex-cited when she made the team, which is made up of Albertan and British Columbian players.

Team West fell behind

early in Montreal, with eastern kicker Antony Vilsaint scored the first goal 28 seconds into the match.

However, MacKenzie’s squad was able to tie things up later in the game and forced over-time, where the team punched in two more goals for the win.

Before heading to South America this fall, the 11-year-old ath-lete will take part in a three-day training camp in Quebec with head coach Dean Howie. He said the camp will be an opportunity for the players to get ready to take on some of the top soccer talent in the world.

“These young ath-letes… will have an op-portunity to play where the top professionals have played,” he said. “This is an experience they will remember for the rest of their lives.”[email protected]
