For the second time in six months,SHARE Family & Community Serviceshas received reports that door-to-doorcanvassers are asking for financialdonations to the food bank.

The local food bank, however, doesnot solicit door to door.

Residents in Coquitlam, PortCoquitlam and Port Moody haverecently reported that canvassers of dif-ferent descriptions have come to theirdoors asking for money — each with a$20 or $50 bill attached to a clipboard.

Development director Heather Scottsaid SHARE established the policyyears ago to not door-knock for foodor money. However, a church group orservice group may occasionally solicitdoor-to-door food donations.

“The difference is that their volun-teers are clearly representing theirorganization and that organizationwants to make a difference in theircommunity by running a food drive.They will donate the food to SHAREbecause we are set up to distribute thatfood to people who need it,” Scott saidin a press release.

“This is very different than when anindividual comes to the door and saysthat they are a representative of SHAREbecause SHARE does not solicit doorto door.”

Scott says to call the police if some-one comes to your door asking formoney and you don’t believe theirstory.

“This person could be stealing fromyou,” she said.

Cost implications, potential con-struction delays and questions aroundthe cause remain five days after a cranecollapsed on the Port Mann BridgeFriday morning.

The incident occurred shortly after8:30 a.m., when the support leg of aconstruction crane — referred to as agantry — buckled. The collapse alsosaw a 90-tonne bridge deck segmentfall into the Fraser River below.

No one was injured in Friday’s inci-dent, and work on the east side of thebridge has been suspended pending aninvestigation into the collapse.

“At this point, it’s really too earlyto say if this malfunction will have

an effect on the project schedule,”said Max Logan, spokesman for thePort Mann/Highway 1 ImprovementProject. “Once the investigation is alittle bit more advanced and a schedulefor repairs is developed, at that pointwe’d be in a position to say whether ornot there would be any impact to theschedule.”

The Port Mann/Highway 1 projectis slated to be finished in phases, withthe first area of completion set for aDecember target date: the new bridge isscheduled to open at that point, on topof reconfigurations at the Cape HornInterchange in Coquitlam and the160th and 152nd street exits in Surrey.

Arson appears to be behind a fire that torethrough an abandoned home in Burquitlamearly Sunday morning.

No injuries were reported as a result of the inci-dent at 617 Smith Ave. More than a dozen firefight-ers responded to the call shortly after 1 a.m.

“This one looked very suspicious for an arson— somebody started it,” said Coquitlam Fire andRescue Services chief Tony Delmonico. “It’s unusualthat [a fire] in a house that’s boarded up starts fromthe interior when it’s got no power and no gas. Allsigns are pointing towards somebody intentionallyset this.”

Delmonico said the house was fully engulfed inflames when crews arrived, prompting the 17 fire-fighters at the scene to attack the fire from the out-side of the structure only.

“Although we’re concerned of the possibility ofsomebody being in there, given the state of thefire … anybody inside the building at that point,unfortunately, would have perished,” he said. “Thefire had damaged the integrity of the structure andpart of it collapsed into the roof, so it was a good callnot going there because we could have lost some-body in there.”

The fire was contained in about an hour and half,and the abandoned home is one of several in thearea slated for demolition.

Delmonico expects the investigation into thecause to take about two weeks.

“With fires, you can’t always come up with a defin-itive answer on how it started,” he said. “Sometimesall you get out of it is the general area of where it

started, and your best guess. But there’s other timeswhen you see some obvious signs, especially if thefire gets knocked down quickly.”

The Tri-Cities men, alongwith four others, allegedlytargeted victims to kidnapfor financial gain. All six menhave ties to the IndependentSoldiers gang.

Police found two trackingdevices placed on the victim’svehicles. As well, they discov-ered laptops that showed thevictim had been tracked fornearly three months.

Sgt. Ghalib Bhayani saidthe police rescued the victimas a result of collaborativesurveillance of the six men.

“This group is working onkidnapping for financial gainand they thought that the vic-tim was in a position to satisfytheir needs financially … Werescued him as he was beingdragged into the suspects’vehicle and being beaten,”Bhayani said.

Two men were arrested atthe scene, and the others werearrested at their homes onFriday. During the investiga-tion, police also discovered11 high-powered rifles andmachine guns.

must first figure out what happened Friday.“At this point two things are happening:

first of all the contractor is undertaking aninvestigation to determine how exactly themalfunction occurred, and obviously to makesure steps are in place so that it doesn’t happenagain,” Logan said.

“Concurrent with that, they are developinga plan, first of all, to level the gantry and thenonce they’ve done that, they can determine the

nature of the repairs that are required and howlong it will take to implement those repairs.”

As for the pre-cast bridge deck segmentthat fell into the river, Logan couldn’t con-firm whether or not it can be reused once it isremoved from the water.

“Those plans are currently in developmentat this point,” he said, “so it’s too early to saywhen the repairs would commence, how longthey would take and when the gantry would beback in operation.”

Crown seeks 18 months for Coquitlam rioterCoquitlam’s Ryan

Dickinson, the first person toplead guilty to participating ina riot following Game 7 of theStanley Cup final last sum-mer, should be sent to jail forat least 18 months, a Crownprosector said Tuesday.

Prosecutor Patti Tomassontold Provincial Court JudgeMalcolm MacLean thatDickinson, 20, knew full wellwhat he was doing when hesmashed a police car andthrew a mannequin into awindow. After showing thejudge numerous video clips

of Dickinson causing damageduring the riot, Tomassonsaid jail time is needed tosend out a clear message thatrioting will not be tolerated.

Dickinson, has been incustody since Dec. 8, when hewas picked up for breachinghis curfew. At the time of theStanley Cup riot, Dickinsonwas on a curfew for anunrelated criminal charge.

In January, Dickinsonpleaded guilty to participat-ing in a riot and breach of hisundertaking.

Tomasson said he should

get 15 to 18 months for theriot charge and another threemonths for the breach.

“He threw a newspaper boxnumerous times onto a policevehicle,” she said in court.The two police cars Dickinsonhelped damage were eventu-ally destroyed by the mob.

Tomasson also said the dayafter the riot, Dickinson com-municated on Facebook witha friend, seemingly at easewith what he did during theriot. As well, Tomasson notedDickinson was supposed to beat home the night of the riot.

“Ryan Dickinson breachedhis recognizance on June 15by being outside of his resi-dences the night of the riot,”she said. By smashing thepolice cars and store window,Tomasson said Dickinsonseemed to be enjoying himselfduring the mayhem.

She showed MacLean sever-al video clips of Dickinson ina grey, beige and black hoodiecausing trouble.

“His face is clearly depict-ed,” she told MacLean.

Tomasson also gave a snap-shot of the type of sentences

the Crown will be seeking forthose charged with rioting.She said he should be sen-tenced looking at the overallcontext of the riot.

“The range of sentencingis 12 to 18 months, withMr. Dickinson falling intothe higher range of 15 to 18months.”

She also suggestedDickinson get an additionalone to three months for thebreach of his court conditions.

She said by causing thedestruction, Dickinson wasinciting others.

“Any one rioter has a com-mon purpose with all theother rioters and his conductencourages and assists theaction of the other rioters par-ticularity in this situation as awhole,” said Tomasson.

Defence lawyer Eric Warrensaid Dickinson was caughtup with the riot and “themoment lasted a long time.”

MacLean said from thevideo showed in court “itdoesn’t look like anybody wasthinking.”

They face one count eachof kidnapping with a firearmwith the intent to cause harm,assault with a weapon andassault causing bodily harm.Margison and McKinnon wererecently acquitted in anotheralleged kidnapping case afterthe alleged victim did nottestify.

According to Bhayani, allsix men are considered athreat to public safety.

The Coquitlam duo, headded, were ringleaders of thegroup.

The investigation, dubbedthe E-Navigate project, washeaded by the Combined

Forces Special EnforcementUnit, with participationfrom the Coquitlam RCMP,Port Moody police andthe Integrated HomicideInvestigation Team. Policefrom Vancouver, Delta, NewWestminster and Abbotsfordwere also involved.

“Coquitlam RCMP wereinstrumental in providing usresources,” Bhayani said.

“Two of these men are liv-ing in their jurisdiction. Someof these crimes were commit-ted in their jurisdiction. Thesepeople committed crimesthere in the past.”

Although the men are incustody, the investigation isnot over, Bhayani said.

“It’s still ongoing andthere’s still a lot more to bedone,” he said. “Also addition-al charges will be forthcomingin relation to the firearms andin addition to other criminaloffences.”

Six men face charges CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3.

A Coquitlam school board investigationfound no sexual impropriety or physical assaultin the case of a seven-year-old girl who allegedin 2009 that she sat on her substitute teacher’slap and he rubbed her stomach.

However, School District 43’s director ofhuman resources, Jamie Ross, testified Fridaythat a report he drafted at the conclusion ofthe 3½-month investigation did contain a rec-ommended finding of misconduct.

Ross was a witness at the B.C. ProvincialCourt trial of Aleksandr Plehanov, who facesfive charges of sexual assault, five of sexualinterference and one of criminal harassment.

The investigation was launched after a par-ent called Bramblewood Elementary on Oct.14, 2009 to report that her daughter, who wasa Grade 2 student, told her that Plehanov hadtwice pulled her on to his lap and put his handunder her shirt, where he rubbed her belly.

Principal Brenda Walker reported the inci-dent to the district and Ross became involved.Earlier in the trial, Walker said she did notcall police because there wasn’t an immedi-ate safety concern. The investigation lasteduntil January 2010, after which Ross wrotehis report. The school board made a finding ofmisconduct, but it was not based on allegations

of sexual impropriety or physical assault andPlehanov was allowed to continue teaching.

The trial is scheduled to resume in July.— Jennifer Saltman, The Province

There wasn’t a lot to chew on from PremierChristy Clark’s five-minute radio address thisweek, but she did signal a looming showdown

on an issue that has the potential to right her gov-ernment’s sinking ship.

Clark went on radio station CKNW’s Bill GoodShow to lay out her government’s plans for thespring legislative session, and didn’t reveal anythingparticularly bold or new.

But she seemed to go out of her way to call outpublic sector unions and emphasize, once again, thatthere is no money on the table for theirmembers to receive wage increases any-time soon. And she suggested the onlyway those wage hikes could occur wouldbe through increased taxes.

Clark desperately needs an issue tochange the parameters of political debatein this province. The mood of the elec-torate seems, according to the polls, todesire a change in government.

So Clark appears to be developing anew theme she hopes resonates with vot-ers more than the call to kick her partyout of office. She’s hoping public sector unions tryto take her government on, allowing her to make an“us against them” type of argument.

It can be an effective theme. Public support forunions has dwindled over the years (the percentageof unionized workers has steadily declined in thisprovince) and in particular, support for public sectorunions is likely not very high.

Public sector employees generally enjoy benefitpackages that are much richer than anything foundin the private sector.

They also battle a misplaced public perceptionthat they perform work of a substandard nature (i.e.the lazy civil servant stereotype).

A number of union contracts expire at the end ofMarch, setting the stage for all kinds of strike actionpotentially involving nurses, health-care workers anddirect government employees.

The B.C. government is insisting there is nomoney for wage hikes, unless they are paid for byconcessions from employees. The B.C. Governmentand Services Employees’ Union has already said itwon’t stand for a continued wage freeze, and otherunions may follow suit.

Clark is no doubt hoping the NDP aligns itselfwith these unions if a showdown doesoccur. The theme of “who’s running thisprovince” can be a game-changer, and itmay allow Clark to consolidate her voterbase and bring back disaffected B.C.Liberals currently parking their voteswith the B.C. Conservative party.

Some have suggested we could beseeing parallels with the OperationSolidarity protests that erupted in 1983in the wake of government restraintmeasures. People forget, however, thatdespite those huge protests the Social

Credit government of the time was handily re-elect-ed a few years later.

Of course, the public sector unions may opt not totake the bait this time around, thus robbing Clark ofa potential “wedge” issue that could clearly separateher from the New Democrats.

And then Clark will be forced to search around inincreasingly desperate fashion to find another issuethat can rebuild her party’s popularity. It won’t bean easy task.

As I predicted in this space some months back,former B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm paida hefty price for libelling former conflict-of-

interest commissioner Ted Hughes in his self-pub-lished biography a few years back.

Vander Zalm must pay $60,000 in damages plusan undetermined amount to cover Hughes’ legalcosts in the suit he brought against the former pre-mier. The total bill could hit close to $100,000.

Vander Zalm opted for a jury trial, clearly bettingthat his personal charm and charisma could winover the hearts and minds of fellow citizens.

His gamble did not work, thankfully. The seven-person jury found him guilty — and yes, that is thelegal term in libel trials in this province — and hisego and reputation will suffer accordingly.

And yet Vander Zalm remains unrepentant. Heappeared on CKNW radio the day the verdict wasreached, saying he “stands” by what he wrote inhis book, which I have suggested to the legislaturelibrary be kept on file in the fiction section.

He may stand by what he wrote, but if he repeatsthe libel against Hughes he will pay dearly for it. Anyrepeat of something already ruled to be libellous canbe a very expensive exercise, with monetary damagesbeing quite high.

But I’m not sure whether Vander Zalm’s penchantfor trying to rewrite history in more favourableterms to himself can keep him quiet forever.

Premier needs to change political debate

Re: “Growing gap not a good thing,” editorial,Friday, Feb. 10.

I completely agree with the theme of this edi-torial and your assertion that while taxand welfare systems that are specificallydesigned to narrow the gap do exist, theyhave been allowed to erode.

Education has always been toutedas the great equalizer in society, and Ibelieve this remains true today.

The fact that we spend billions on education yetsuffer from an increasing income gap is a clear indi-cation that the education system, as currently struc-

tured, is failing in its primary mission and needs tobe completely overhauled.

Unfortunately, the status quo, save for moremoney, is all that is being discussed.

Real change in the education sys-tem is needed and until the variousstakeholders can muster the courage toacknowledge this, the income gap willonly continue to widen.

Bob ElliottCoquitlam

In many homes across B.C. — including herein the Tri-Cities — the cupboards are bare.

Sometimes literally, as people make atrip to the food bank to get through theweek. Sometimes metaphorically, as non-profit organizations struggle to come up withenough funds to limp through another month.

Over in Victoria, though, there’s at leastone cupboard that’s brimming with delights:chocolates from Purdys and Rogers, gift cardsfrom Starbucks and Tim Hortons.

We’re talking about the “recognition cup-board” that Province columnist Michael Smythexposed earlier this week.

Presents in the “cupboard,” which govern-ment workers are encouraged to “frequently”give to each other in a misguided attempt toboost morale, include Mountain EquipmentCo-Op backpacks, designer travel mugs andgovernment-logo golf balls. Pretty nice stuff.

The not-so-nice part? Taxpayers are footingthe bill for this $1.5-million staff appreciationprogram, which allows employees to send giftsto coworkers without even the need for amanager’s signature.

“At a time when our justice system is facinga crisis due to lack of funds, and when ourhospitals are begging for more money,”BC Conservative leader John Cummins saidMonday, “the Liberal government runs awasteful program which is easily open toabuse.”

Premier Christy Clark defended the programon CKNW Radio, but admitted that “you needto have an additional sign-off.”

That’s not enough. To many BritishColumbians, a government job, with its cushypension, above-average pay and benefits andunparalleled job security, is enough “recogni-tion.” Time to close the door on this cupboard,and put the $1.5 million to better use.

CBC a bargain for taxpayersJust prior to the last federal election,

Heritage Minister James Moore assured methat he loved the CBC, and its funding was notin jeopardy. Everything I now read and hearpoints to a severe cut to the CBC.

When I went to participate in a CRTC feed-back exercise, I was shocked and appalled bythe number of nasty, vitriolic comments thatwould easily be considered “hate speech” ifthey were directed at a person — no reasonedopinion or thoughtful argument. It seemedvery repetitive and orchestrated and when Iasked how this stuff could remain online, I wastold every comment had equal consideration.

Now I understand a number of ConservativeMPs, including Dean Del Mastro, Mr. Moore’sformer parliamentary secretary, have been cir-culating anti-CBC petitions.

I have a huge history with the CBC goingback to childhood, through my days deal-ing with the media as school board chair,vice-president of the BC School Trustees’Association and President of BC Home andSchool (now BCCPAC) and as a teacher-librar-ian trying to make Canadian history, cultureand geography accessible and engaging for mystudents — many of whom were not born here.

I credit the CBC with teaching more science(Quirks and Quarks, The Nature of Things);inspiring and contributing to the careers ofmore musicians, artists and entertainers;bringing more humour, public interest andpositive connection to Canadians across thecountry and around the world than any otherentity.

Most of my travel in this beautiful countryhas been inspired and informed by CBC pro-grams. Their journalists serve us very welllocally and internationally — only fettered byincreasing lack of funding. Their internationalbureaus are respected far and wide; these

journalists risk their lives to inform us and arehighly regarded for their integrity and skillwhen doing that, often because, among othertalents, they are multilingual.

While individual Canadian taxpayers subsid-ize the CBC by only $33, the UK’s BBC (equallyrespected and relied upon by networks aroundthe world) costs $124, and Switzerland’snational broadcaster costs $154. The averagefor 18 western national broadcasters is $81 —and none has such a huge expanse geographic-ally, or such a huge diversity of cultures andlanguages to serve. Seems like abargain to me.

I pay about $48 a year for TVWeek for TV listings, a publicationwhich is also subsidized to thetune of nearly $600,000 throughthe Federal Publications AssistanceProgram, also under the auspices ofthe heritage minister.

I thought it was published by CTV or Globalsince there is very, very rarely any mention ofthe CBC programs or personalities in it. TonyParsons was a regular until he moved to theCBC.

Discovering the subsidy, I checked to seewho the publisher was: a very well-knownmultimillionaire, his wife and daughter. Thenthere’s the $23 we each provide annually forthe MPs’ pensions. I readily admit I have beena very complacent citizen — and I think I amnot alone.

We have not held Mr. Moore accountablefor many, many issues. We have handed him adelightful position, complete with a $233,000-plus salary, expenses, the opportunity to hob-nob with royalty and celebrity. His governmentpromised us Senate reform, restrictions on lob-bying and patronage, and he promised at leaststable funding for the CBC. As heritage minis-ter, I expect him to deliver on those promises.

If fiscal concerns are his excuse, there areplenty of places savings can be made — cuttingall the self-serving government ads and green-wash “think tanks” would be a start, althoughit’s too late to get back the G8 gift to MinisterTony Clement’s riding — that would havetaken care of half of the proposed cut. If youwant to do your own homework and make yourown list, check out the website sixthestate.net.

One of the reasons I looked forward toretirement was to be able to listen to the CBCmore often than just on my commute (which

the CBC made bearable). If theCBC is cut again, I guess I’ll haveto become one of those — what isit Mr. Harper calls those who feelcompelled to express a contraryopinion? — oh yes, a “radical.”

Improve lane markingsThe horrific, tragic vehicle crash that killed

a family of five near Williams Lake last weekhas me wondering why more isn’t being doneto improve the safety of lane markings on ourmajor roads and highways.

It used to be that lane markings wererepainted with durable oil-based paints. Butnew environmental rules have apparently pro-hibited the use of these paints.

This is great for the environment (and Isupport that), but it’s not great for road safetybecause the water-based paints being usedinstead of oil just aren’t standing up to B.C.’sroad conditions.

Why can’t we have the lane markings inlaidinto our highways just like they have on theSea to Sky Highway?

Grooved lane markings don’t wear away aseasily as lines painted with water-based paint,and I’ve seen how they reflect back to the driv-

er even on rainy nights with poor visibility.I don’t know how much it would cost to put

grooved lane markings on all our roads andhighways, but what is the real cost of safety?

I’d say it’s worth far more than any short-term expense that would make our roads andhighways as safe as they can be.

Donald LeungBurnaby

•••How many car accidents have to occur

before someone does something about the poorstate of the road markings in this province? Weneed a solution and we need one now becausewe can’t see the lines anymore.

What is the Ministry of Transportation doingto help with the state of lines on our highways?The solutions are out there and they shouldstart with looking at reflective road markings,ones that are easy to see in most weather con-ditions, like on the Sea to Sky Highway.

News

With no signs of resolutionin the ongoing labour disputebetween teachers and theiremployers, two local educa-tion groups have weighed inwith their comments.

Coquitlam Teachers’Association president TeresaGrandinetti said little haschanged for parents andteachers during this year’s jobaction.

“Teachers are still workinghard to provide the best learn-ing opportunities possiblefor students in District 43,”Grandinetti said in a pressrelease.

“Trustees and district man-

agers should be pressuringtheir organizations to negoti-ate with teachers, because inthe end, teachers’ workingconditions are students’ learn-ing conditions.”

Meanwhile, District 43’sschool board expressed sup-port for the collective bargain-ing process between the B.C.Teachers’ Federation and theB.C. Public School Employers

Association.“The Board of Education

fully supports the collectiveagreement bargaining pro-cess with all of its unionizedemployee groups, as it is

always a preferred method,”states a school board pressrelease.

“The Board continues tovalue the work of teachersand their pivotal role in stu-

dent success. The Board alsorespects that job action issometimes part of the collect-ive bargaining process and itworks hard to ensure that theguidelines are honoured.”

School board, teachers issue statements

at all local grocery storesand directly to the food bankat 2615 Clarke St. in PortMoody, Monday to Fridayfrom 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Trainers get Innovative to raise fundsA team “dance off,” sumo-suit wrestling and crazy costumes

helped staff at Innovative Fitness in Port Moody raise $9,500for the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation during their second-annual Train the Trainer event.

Clients and local business partners had a chance to sign upand “reverse the roles” by training their trainer to get a littlepay back. Five-minute time slots went for $50 each.

A live auction featuring donations from local businesseshelped Innovative Fitness reach its fundraising total.

Vancity helps Place MaillardvilleThe Vancity community grants committee gave $10,000 to

Place Maillardville on Feb. 1. The money will go to fund the“very successful” Vancity Job Club program in which kids aretaught basic job skills such as food safe techniques and emer-gency preparedness and develop organisational and leadershipabilities, according to a press release.

“Job Club and Advanced Job Club are such great opportun-ities for our youth in Maillardville to learn skills and buildconfidence,” said Al Boire, executive director at the communitycentre. “We are so thankful for Vancity’s very generous sup-port.”

The program runs under the guidance of after school pro-gram manager Diane Morrison, but was developed over the pastfew years by youth leaders Candace Coulson and Erica Nault.The youth team hopes to expand the program to include olderteens and offer more sophisticated learning opportunities.

Helping the Heart & Stroke FoundationThis weekend (Feb. 18 and 19), Steve Nash Fitness Clubs will

hold marathon “Heart & Stroke Foundation donation classes” atall 17 locations in B.C. — including Coquitlam and PoCo.

Members and others can participate in classes such as“Cardiac Cycle,” “Yoga For The Heart” and a 75-minute “Cardio-thon.”

The suggested donation is $13 per class, which is SteveNash’s jersey number, for all participants.

Through this initiative, the company says it hopes to aid infunding new breakthroughs in life-saving research and treat-ment. For details, visit www.stevenashfitnessclubs.com.

close to home.“It’s very exciting and we are honoured

to be a part of that,” she said.“It comes from a long line of stores all

over the world. We are excited to do thebrand proud and have it in our store.”

Manhattan’s SoHo neighbourhoodis home to Natuzzi Italia’s flagshipstore, with other main shops located inBarcelona, Dubai, Milan, London andZurich.

However, there’s also a demandfor “affordable luxury” in Coquitlam,Tukutau said.

“Being out this way, I think we cer-

tainly look for that beautiful furniture sothat when you look at it, it’s awe-inspir-ing. It’s artistic,” she said.

“It says something, but at a price thatis attainable … We definitely feel likethere’s a demand for that luxury furni-ture at an affordable price, and we haveit without having to go straight intodowntown Vancouver to find it. You canfind it right here on United Boulevard inCoquitlam.”

The Natuzzi Italia store is now open,attached to Sandy’s Furniture at 1335United Blvd. A grand opening event willbe held in late March.

It was one of those games whereone bucket — or missed shot— shaped the final score.

But Terry Fox coach Steve Hansonwasn’t going to let Thursday’s gamein Port Coquitlam weigh too heavilyon his players’ minds.

Dropping a 71-68 overtime deci-sion to the Pitt Meadows Marauderscost the squad first place in theFraser Valley North senior boys AAAbasketball league, but it also gavethem a good lesson to take into theleague playoffs and beyond.

The Ravens saw a nine-pointhalftime lead evaporate in the thirdquarter, then battled back to forceextra time against No. 2-ranked Pitt.A couple of tough turnovers, how-ever, provided the visitors with theammunition to secure the win andtop the league with a 10-0 record.

The No. 5-rated Ravens claim sec-ond overall at 9-1.

“You always look forward to gameslike that against Pitt. You get to seewhere you’re at and just where theyare at — so we know a lot morenow,” remarked Hanson.

“We had enough opportunities towin it.”

After a fairly equal first quarter,Fox took wing with a 7-1 run tolead 34-25 at the half. Guard AlexNesterenko scored nine of his 14points in that frame.

Things spun around in the thirdquarter, however, as the Rich Goulet-coached Marauders marched backto tie it 36-36, getting twin treysfrom Mitsu Iwai. They proceeded totake control and lead by eight afterthe third quarter by outscoring theRavens 27-10 in the quarter.

Making the necessary adjustmentsand sticking to a strong one-three-one zone, Fox narrowed the gap andtied the game.

In overtime, Pitt didn’t score firstbut they scored a little more to lockup the perfect league record.

Ryan Sclater led Fox shooterswith 25 points, while Trevor Caseychipped in 11.

Earlier in the week, the Ravenstrumped Port Moody 84-36.

“We were really happy with ourfirst half and how we were runningin the second quarter. We just can’thave a third quarter like we did,” saidHanson.

Although neither players norcoaches were pleased with the result,

they had little chance to sulk as theRavens played Sir Charles Tupperon Friday, handing the once-rankedVancouver team a 70-45 defeat.

The PoCo coaches put their start-ers on the bench and saw what theirdepth players can do.

“We used five starters who’venever started at the senior levelbefore,” the coach said. “Our big six-foot-nine guy (Mason Woods) camein and lined up against their big guyand really shut him down.”

In other league action, theCentennial Centaurs picked up closevictories over Gleneagle (56-53) andNorth Surrey (45-43) to finish at 7-3,tied with Heritage Woods for third.

Jonathon Doucette tallied 26points and added 12 rebounds, whileAndrew Moon chipped in 11 pointsagainst the Talons. In the win overNorth Surrey, Doucette drove to thenet with a minute remaining to sinkthe game-winning bucket, cappingan eight-point comeback.

The league playoffs began Monday,with Port Moody edging Riverside64-59 and Gleneagle toppingPinetree 74-63.

On Tuesday, third-place HeritageWoods played Port Moody, Terry Foxtook on Gleneagle and Centenniallined up against North Surrey (allpast The NOW’s deadline).

Action continues Thursday 6 p.m.with games at both Terry Fox andPitt Meadows. The final is slated forFriday, 7:45 p.m. in Pitt Meadows.

Who’d of thunk it?A weekend that began with a lower

opponent on home ice, followed by adouble-header at the home of the confer-ence leaders would likely lead to a goodstart and a hard fall.

The Coquitlam Express continue toturn things on their heels.

The B.C. Hockey League squad cameout flat Friday in a 6-5 setback to theVictoria Grizzlies, then proceeded tosweep past the Powell River Kings invictories of 3-2 and 3-1 in the SunshineCoast community.

The results in Powell River, coupledwith Surrey’s twin-win weekend, saw theKings fall to second behind the surgingEagles.

The Express, meanwhile, continue tosolidify their hold on the fourth and finalplayoff spot, while staying within strikingdistance of third-place Cowichan Valley.

In Sunday’s 3-1 win, Cole Hugginskicked out 30 shots while AlexanderKerfoot netted a pair of goals in the sec-ond period to lift the Express to victory.

Alex Petan had opened the scoringseven minutes into the game, but PowellRiver’s Cohen Adair tied it four minuteslater. Coquitlam fired 19 shots at theKings net.

A day earlier, Powell River again out-shot the visitors — this time 32-26 — butMitch Nardi’s marker at 12:42 of the third,on a set-up from defenceman ClintonAtkinson, gave the Express the win.

The visitors had erased a 1-0 deficitwith a pair of goals from Petan early in thesecond. Huggins turned back 30 shots onSaturday.

With his four tallies on the weekend,Petan grabbed the team lead with 29goals, to go with 41 assists in 45 games.

The sweep in Powell River counteredFriday’s disappointing 6-5 loss to sev-enth-place Victoria. Coquitlam held a 3-2lead midway through the second on JohnSiemer’s second of the game, before thevisiting Grizzlies replied with three unan-swered goals.

Coquitlam now enjoys a brief home-stand that starts tonight, 7 p.m. whenthe fifth-place Nanaimo Clippers visit thePoirier Sport Centre.

On Friday, the Merritt Centennials— who feature Coquitlam’s Silvan Harperand PoCo’s Tyler Martin — make theironly stop of the regular season at PoirierStreet for a 7 p.m. tilt. On Saturday, theCowichan Valley Capitals return to theSports Centre (7 p.m.).

Hospice in Our Community

At any given time in the Tri-Cities families are facing the loss of a loved one.Thedecisions surrounding end-of-life care can be both frightening and challenging. It'simportant for people to know that there is support and they are not alone. Noone knows this better than the staff and volunteers at Crossroads Hospice Society.Their work, both at the Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice in Port Moody and out inthe community, help provide dignity, choice and compassion to those facing thisdifficult time.

DignityDignity is at the center of our society. The cornerstone of hospice care ischaracterized as limited medical intervention with patient comfort and needs beingparamount. In partnership with Fraser Health, we provide support for patients andtheir loved ones. Patients make the decisions on their care but family needs mustbe considered as well. Cultural, social and spiritual considerations can play a role inplanning someone's final days. Because each person deals with the situation in adifferent way, our hospice provides a safe place where death, dying and grieving areall recognized as a normal part of life.

ChoiceChoice is a key element in helping patients and loved ones through this difficulttime.When possible, accommodations are made for patients to meet their needs.This might mean providing space for religious rituals or arrange for short tripshome for a visit. Loved ones can arrange to spend the night at the hospice or takepart in hospice services such as art cart, tea service, relaxation therapies and pettherapy. One-on-one sessions with Crossroads hospice volunteers provideindividual support and a caring, listening ear. Bereavement services are also availableto hospice clients for up to a year.

CompassionCompassion is at the heart of hospice care and in the heart of all those who workand support Crossroads Hospice Society.With the needs of the patient in mind,health care professionals, hospice staff, volunteers and supporters come togetherto support this great mission.Visiting volunteers serve patients and family byproviding emotional and practical support in the home, long-term care facilities, inthe hospital or in our hospice. Groups are set up several times a year to providesupport to teens and adults and annual bereavement and memorial events arehosted with community partners.
