Drug use, care hours revealed in surveySENIORS’ CARE

Drugs withoutdiagnosis: surveyDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

A new directory of residential care facilities — including sev-

eral Tri-City senior care homes — shows widespread prescrip-tion of anti-depression and anti-psychosis drugs for people who haven’t been diagnosed with the illnesses and care levels below recommended guide-lines.

And the seniors advo-

cate who released the B.C. Residential Care Quick Facts Directory last week says she hopes the alarming data is a wake-up call to policy makers and health care providers.

“A lot were caught by surprise — I know I was,” said the advo-cate, Isobel Mackenzie, who said

she hopes the data that shows 80% of facilities don’t meet the Ministry of Health guidelines for 3.36 hours of daily care per resi-dent will help families advocate for their loved ones and prompt changes in the sector.

“It’s only a guideline and, in fact, people aren’t meeting it

means maybe we need to have something firmer than a guide-line,” Mackenzie said.

Health Minister Terry Lake has also seen the data and now says he wants a review.

LESS CAREIn the Tri-Cities, for ex-

ample, only Eagle Ridge Manor, which is located on the grounds of Eagle Ridge Hospital and is run by Fraser Health, meets standards for the recommended hours of care.

Students built it in 1990s, restored it this school yearDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

Commuters using the new Moody Centre Evergreen Line station to access West Coast Express commuter trains are experiencing an-cient and modern modes of transportation when they pass underneath a traditional First Nations canoe hanging above the escalator.

The elegant red canoe was carved out of a cedar log about 15 years ago by Centennial secondary students and was pulled out of storage and restored by Suwa’lkh School students as an art project to bring some focus to aboriginal culture of the region.

Malcolm Key, School District 43 aboriginal co-ordinator, said the canoe had been kept in storage in recent years at Winslow Centre and it came to mind when he was approached for an idea about First Nations artwork for the new Port Moody station.

“It just dawned on me we’ve got this canoe, it’s a beautiful piece of work and it’s not being

utilized as it should,” he told The Tri-City News. “It seemed like a perfect art piece showing this old ancient mode of trans-port in a place built for modern transport.”

Originally, the canoe was built for use in local waters but it fell out of use and was drying out. Key said students restored and repainted the canoe, in-cluding an ancient design of the two-headed serpent Sisiuti.

“This is an opportunity for it to remain a lasting legacy for 100 years or for however long it will be, and from that perspec-tive, I think it’s a very positive thing.”

The depiction of Sisiuti is also perfect for use in one of six stations being built for the $1.4-billion Burnaby-to-Coquitlam rapid transit line, noted Key.

“This transformer can change itself into a magic war canoe, protecting those within it. We hope that its spirit will protect those who will ride on this new modern ‘serpent.’”

Meanwhile, a ceremony is being considered to mark the canoe’s restoration and instal-lation; students who helped carve it during 1997 and 1998 are encouraged to contact Key at [email protected].

‘Still work to do,’ says Fraser HealthSENIORS’ CARE

The remaining seven local facilities ranging from a low of 2.64 hours at Cartier House in Coquitlam to a high of 3.16 hours at Hawthorne Seniors Care home in Port Coquitlam.

The hours reflect the time nurses spend helping resi-dents with daily tasks as well as programs and therapies such as recreation and phys-iotherapy. The numbers are determined by the contract and funding, not by the fa-cility managers or owners, Mackenzie said.

The prescription of depres-sion medication and antipsy-chotic drugs has also become an issue.

Mackenzie said antipsy-chotic drugs might calm agitated people but may also make them more lethargic. Depression medicine may be overly prescribed, too, and she wants to know if there’s a link between their use and staffing levels.

“We don’t know that, yet,” Mackenzie said, noting, “You aren’t seeing higher use in facilities where the population has a higher level of aggressive behaviour, that’s not showing.”

And while B.C.’s rates of prescribing these drugs are trending downward this year, they are still higher than those in many other provinces,

Mackenzie said.

POWERFUL DRUGSIn B.C., for example, 47.8%

of care home residents are given depression medicine but only 24% are actually diag-nosed with depression.

And 31% of residents are given antipsychotics without a diagnosis of psychosis. The actual rate of psychosis among the elderly is about 4%, “so the number is actually higher,” she said.

In the Tri-Cities, the use of

powerful antipsychotic drugs for uses other than those ap-proved by Health Canada var-ies depending on the facility, however, Mackenzie said she thinks the medications are being over-prescribed and she wants to know why.

“It should be rare or tempo-rary to administer Ativan [and anti-anxiety drug] and Haldol [an anti-psychotic] because the situation is acute and you should be trying a number of things before you do it. I think the evidence is we’re not

doing that,” said Mackenzie.Fraser Health, meanwhile,

is taking these issues seri-ously, said a spokesperson, and is working on improve-ments to drug prescription protocol and ensuring facili-ties run by the authority meet the recommended hours of care.

MORE WORK“We know there is still work

to do,” said Fraser Health’s Tasleem Juma, but she noted the health authority regu-

larly consults with providers to ensure they have enough resources and ensures all of Fraser Health-owned and -op-erated facilities meet the direct care guidelines.

For example, two facilities opening this month in the Tri-Cities — Foyer Maillard, which will have 80 new residential complex care beds, and Baltic Properties, with 160 beds — will be funded to the recom-mended number of care hours, Juma said.

She also said the direct care

hours are only one measure of livability because care homes also have special recreation programs, amenities and gar-dens that make them pleasant for residents.

As for the over-prescribing of anti-depression and anti-psychotic drugs, Juma said, a study into their use was initi-ated two years ago and two care facilities, one in Mission and one in Burnaby, are pilot-ing a new protocol that would see more people, including family members, consulted be-fore drugs are prescribed.

HIGH EXPECTATIONSMackenzie wonders if

changing the culture is needed as well to convince people, including well-meaning family members, not to prescribe a pill for every ailment. She said the requirement that everyone be happy all the time might be unrealistic objective, especially for frail seniors.

“It may be not unreasonable that someone is a little glum, especially when they move [from their home into a care facility]. I think we are rushing too quickly to medicate,” she said.

At the very least, she said she hopes the directory will provide food for thought and a basis for further research.

PoCo can speak up on planned booze regulation changes

PORT COQUITLAM

Open house soon on changes that could see craft breweries in PoCoJANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

The public will have its say on Port Coquitlam’s proposed booze rules after all.

This week, city council slowed a move to fast-track the bylaw that would see regula-tions updated to allow, among other things, lounges in craft breweries.

The city’s smart growth committee had recommended council skip the public consul-tation exercise and push the policy directly to first bylaw reading instead.

But Mayor Greg Moore contended the city was being inconsistent on process and needed to show due diligence so the bylaw could get a smooth sailing at council.

As a result, staff are expected to hold an open house within

the next three weeks to gain feedback on the planned leg-islation; a report is due before council May 9.

At Monday’s meeting, coun-cillors said they look forward to seeing craft breweries in PoCo.

“I have to drive to another community to fill my growler,” said Coun. Glenn Pollock, referring to the microbrewer-ies along Murray Street in Port Moody.

Still, he said the city needs to ensure PoCo’s six neighbour-hood pubs can survive. He likes that the number of seats in brew lounges would be capped at 25 each under the proposed regs.

“I think the idea of craft breweries is excellent,” Coun. Darrell Penner said, speaking in favour of a public consulta-tion. “I think it’s great for the community but I’m concerned about the local businesses here. I have already heard from them. They’re concerned about, ‘Is this just another bar that’s going to open up?’”

Other councillors argued the city has heard enough and needs to act soon. “Staff have

been engaged for some time [with industry representa-tives],” Coun. Brad West said. “It’s unfair to say it’s come out of the blue. It’s an unnecessary delay.”

The city changes come after the provincial govern-ment revised its liquor policy. Meanwhile, in Coquitlam, council voted last week to send proposed liquor regulation changes that have been under consideration for close to a year to a second public hearing later this month.

In Port Moody, three craft breweries — Moody Ales, Yellow Dog Brewing and Twin Sails — currently operate on Murray Street near Rocky Point Park, with a fourth, Parkside Brewery, likely to open in May.

JANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

The call for cheaper housing in Port Coquitlam is growing after city council this week shined a light on wages and real estate.

At two separate meetings Monday, council talked about the cost of living locally and the need to lift PoCo residents out of poverty.

The first discussion came as the finance committee unanimously backed a plan for the city to become a certified Living Wage employer.

Council rejected a lower “made-in-PoCo” Living Wage — an hourly rate that would have been slightly less than the rest of Metro Vancouver — after learning the cost to rent a three-bedroom condo in PoCo was $225 higher than in Vancouver because of the lack of affordable housing here.

As well, transportation costs are also higher in the suburbs.

Deanna Ogle of the Living Wage for Families Campaign applauded council for turning down the made-in-PoCo Living Wage as most residents struggle to make ends meet on the Metro Vancouver $20.68 hourly rate.

Mayor Greg Moore said council has to find ways to make PoCo livable. With poor transit connections, many resi-dents are forced to buy a car; with the cost of housing and childcare, the bills add up.

PoCo’s Living Wage policy is due to be implemented in time for the 2017 budget — a move that will cost taxpayers an extra $145,000 a year.

Meanwhile, the topic of af-fordable housing also came up Monday during a debate on the impact of foreign invest-ment on housing. Coun. Brad West said the price of homes is unreachable with the number of international buyers snap-ping up Metro Vancouver lots.

Moore said while he’s not convinced foreign ownership is solely to blame for the hous-ing crunch, there’s a need for a balanced market.

The mayor cited a study indicating Metro Vancouver has the lowest percentage of millennials out of 14 North American metropolitan areas.

“It’s because of the hous-ing prices,” he said. “That has a massive impact on our economy. If they can’t afford to live here, then we have got some issues.”

Moore said he would like to see the province impose a 2% foreign investment tax, with the proceeds going into build-ing affordable stock.

Council also sent back West’s resolution to the smart growth committee he chairs to refine the language that would call on the provincial govern-ment for direct measures to mitigate foreign investment.

Moore said the federal and provincial governments are al-ready studying the issue while Coun. Darrell Penner noted Canada is the only G8 country without a national housing strategy.

Coquitlam looks for partners to build affordable housing

AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Groups must have other funding to access Coq. cashGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

The city of Coquitlam is look-ing for partnerships to help put its $2.5-million affordable hous-ing reserve fund to use.

Jim McIntyre, the city’s gen-eral manager of planning and development, told The Tri-City News Tuesday the goal of the fund is to increase the supply of housing for low and low-to-moderate income households. Ideally, he said, organizations would come forward with the backing of other levels of gov-ernment in order to maximize the city’s contribution.

While he did not offer de-tails, he noted that there has already been some interest in accessing the available funds.

“We have a number of parties and non-profits that were aware of this and were quite keen to see this,” he said. “We will see in the next number of months as

applications come forward.”The reserve fund dates back

to 2007, when council enacted a density bonus program for developers to contribute to future affordable housing ini-tiatives in exchange for greater density on their projects.

But McIntyre said a criteria was never adopted to decide how to utilize the money and a framework was only recently developed as part of the city’s affordable housing strategy.

Now, applicants with an ability to bring other partners together to leverage the city’s funds can receive money for projects that fit the community and are appropriate for the tar-geted populations.

Successful applications will depend on the availability of funds while preference will be given to projects that are able to pay back all or part of the money and can sustain them-selves financially.

But McIntyre said it was important for the criteria to be loose enough to allow for some creativity from the applicants. “It is not a Yes or No box,” he said. “This gives some flexibility.”

In December, Coquitlam council voted unanimously in favour of its affordable hous-ing strategy, which created the criteria for accessing affordable housing reserve funds.

The document outlined methods of creating incentives to encourage the construction of more purpose-built rental units and noted that relaxing some regulations may be re-quired to facilitate more rental and low-cost housing develop-ment.

The strategy calls for pro-moting more affordable living by locating high-density devel-opments close to transit while building partnerships with organizations and the province to bring more affordable units to Coquitlam.

Tri-City News reader Annika Mountain of Coquitlam on Monday shared these photos of a cat and a dog — actually, a bobcat and a coyote — in her backyard, offering this description: “Yesterday, there was a beautiful bobcat in my yard, being stalked by a coyote. I have photos of them both but not together. The bobcat went up a tree and waited for about 10 minutes before the coyote finally gave up and left. The coyote actually tried to climb the adjacent tree! It was pretty exciting to watch.”

PoCo property owner faces big cleanup bill

PORT COQUITLAM

A Port Coquitlam property owner has 10 days to clean up or face a hefty bill from the city.

This week, city council placed a remedial order on the owner of 2438 Kelly Ave., a downtown parcel that recently sold despite its dilapidated condition. The previous owner was served in February with a 30-day remedial order.

Dan Scoones, PoCo’s man-ager of bylaw services, told council that because remedial orders are issued to people — not properties — another order had to be executed after the property’s sale.

Coun. Glenn Pollock said

neighbours have been com-plaining about the yard for months.

On Nov. 30, 2015, the single-family home on the lot was destroyed by fire and the owner tried to remove the debris over the next few weeks. But because the materi-als were deemed hazardous, WorkSafeBC placed a stop-work order on the site.

Pollock also said the prop-erty isn’t fully secured and, as a result, people are gaining ac-cess to the asbestos-filled area.

Mayor Greg Moore said should the new owner fail to meet the 10-day order, the

municipality will clean up the yard (the debris will have to be shipped to Alberta). The owner will be invoiced for the work and, if not paid, will be added to the next property tax bill.

“It’s cheaper if they do it than if we do it,” Moore said.

Under Section 74 of the Community Charter, the pro-vincial legislation under which B.C. municipal governments operate, city councils are per-mitted to declare buildings, structures or things to be a nui-sance and order the owner to bring it up to standards.

Entrepreneur fair teaches biz to kids

TRI-CITY SCHOOLS

Students at Miller Park learn about the art of the dealDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

Slime was a hot commodity at Miller Park elementary dur-ing an entrepreneur fair last week.

More than 100 Grade 3, 4 and 5 students hawked their wares at the Coquitlam school during an entrepreneur fair April 5 that was more like the PNE home show than math and social studies class.

“You can play with them, you can trade them and you can have fun with them,” said Selena Sakelariou, who was selling bead art made with pearler beads, another popular item sold at the fair.

Capitalism was definitely on display as students completed a learning module sponsored by Envision Financial with ma-terials provided by PowerPlay Young Entrepreneurs. Teacher Paula Douglas said students spent hours doing market research, making prototypes, writing business plans and get-ting their booths ready. In some cases, they got loans and will have to pay those back before taking any profit.

“They liked coming up with the idea,” said Douglas, noting students agreed to give about 10% of their profits to charity.

Ryan Feng, a Grade 4 stu-dent, said he liked learning how to be a good salesman. “I liked it because I get to talk to peo-ple,” said Feng, who sold several colourful squeeze balls made of balloons filled with rice.

Friends Daiya Ford and Royette Pong, Grade 5 students, were selling two types of hair bands and said they learned some tough lessons during pro-duction. “We learned that fabric glue is really sticky. It took a week to get it off our fingers,” Ford said.

Among the other creative products that were for sale were dreamcatchers that promised “Nightmares” would be “No

More,” colourful Popsicle stick boxes to “keep you organized” and wish boards to help with goal setting.

But slime was still one of the big sellers. One display was a tower of containers filled with yellow goo on which were painted clever cartoon faces. The product was called Surprise Monsters.

One student, Saoirse Ray, who had made several types of string jewelry, made a sign of-fering a final sale at $1 apiece — a tough lesson in the art of the deal. “You can buy three for $5,” she said hopefully.

The visiting reporter bought one.

Keep an eye on elderly – province isn’t doing itAre B.C. seniors

over-drugged and under-cared-for in

provincially funded resi-dential care homes?

The sad answer is yes, according to analysis coming out of the office the B.C. Seniors Advocate.

When the office’s re-searchers put information into a useful directory of residential care facilities, it revealed that most don’t meet provincial guide-lines for hours of care and that many seniors are given powerful anti-de-pression and -psychosis drugs when they haven’t been diagnosed with those issues.

So far all Health Minister Terry Lake has to say in defence is that he’ll look into it — pretty much the same answer he gave this time last year when seniors advo-cate Isobel Mackenzie

released a similar report (“Placement, Drugs and Therapy, We Can Do Better”).

It is shameful that it has to be a seniors advocate pointing out alarming facts about how our se-niors are cared for instead

of the provincial govern-ment or the official op-position.

Sadder still is that these facts are well known in the health care sector, as Lake himself pointed out in a news report last year.

Fortunately, there may

be some good news on the horizon.

In the Tri-Cities, two new care facilities are opening that will provide the recommended num-ber of care hours, accord-ing to Fraser Health, and a project is underway to do a better job in tracking prescriptions, engaging families in decision-mak-ing on the use of pharma-ceuticals and educating caregivers about drugs and alternatives.

But these initiatives may be too little too late, given that the health care industry has known about these issues for years.

Next time you’re faced with putting mom or dad or grandma or grandpa in a home, make sure you ask some tough questions and follow up with your caregivers.

We can’t always leave the job up to the province.

Needles are a symptomPUBLIC SAFETY

The Editor,As a resident of Lancaster

Street north of Lougheed Highway, I have noticed a dangerous trend the past few weeks that has me concerned.

On several occasions during walks through my neighbour-hood, I have come across hypodermic needles discarded in the open. I am a long time resident of this area and have never found evidence of intra-venous drug use during any neighbourhood walks before now.

In each instance, I have removed the syringes and dis-posed of them properly.

My purpose in writing this letter is not to condemn drug users but to bring awareness and advocate for more services in and around Port Coquitlam. The obvious problem here is one of public safety. The transmission of blood-borne diseases through accidental puncture would be devastat-ing, to say the least.

My neighbourhood has many families with small children that frequently go for strolls together, not to mention the dogs that walk with their owners daily. Both children

and dogs would be curious about such devices and at risk of contracting diseases.

The bigger picture is that clearly this type of activity is beginning to occur in areas where previously it did not. Whether this is due to dis-placement of marginalized individuals to the suburbs or a new group of intravenous drug users developing in the Tri-Cities is unknown to me. Nonetheless it is happening and, therefore, needs to be ad-

dressed.There is a distinct lack of

services available to homeless and drug-addicted individuals in the Tri-Cities. It is my belief that it is time for the Tri-Cities to work together and develop an aggressive harm-reduction program for the benefit of residents and users alike. Until such time, there will continue to be dangerous reminders of a growing problem in and around our neighbourhoods.Jay Reynolds, Port Coquitlam

The Editor,Re. “Locals no fans of

Burrard closure” (The Tri-City News, April 1).

The Burrard Thermal power generating plant electrical power generat-ing equipment should not be dismantled, as has been proposed by BC Hydro. Separate and apart from its present role as an emer-gency standby plant, Burrard Thermal fills an important role in firming up the capac-ity of all the hydroelectric power plants in British Columbia.

During a low-water year when the snow pack is low in the Peace and Columbia river areas, Burrard is needed to re-establish ef-ficient operating water levels in the hydro dam reservoirs.

In November 1989, all six units at Burrard Thermal were taken out of mothballs

and placed into service at full load for more than a year. That power was essen-tial and valuable to all elec-trical customers in B.C.

Over $300 million has been spent in the instal-lation of environmental protection equipment at Burrard Thermal during the past 25 years, including the installation of catalytic scrubbers on all six boilers. All oil-burning equipment has been removed from the boilers, thus eliminating sulphur dioxide Emissions. The combustion controls have all been upgraded to ensure no hydrocarbons are unburned before entering the stack.

There is an abundance of clean natural gas available to power the plant. Burrard Thermal is one of the clean-est thermal power generat-ing plants in all of Canada

and the United States. And the plant being located in Port Moody near the centre of a major load centre — the Lower Mainland — is seen as a jewel by every other util-ity in Canada and the U.S.A.

Climate change is a major global concern. Many countries are experiencing extended drought seasons. Large hydroelectric units re-quire large volumes of water. They have to be shut down when water reservoir levels are very low.

In my opinion, it would be an irresponsible, costly mistake to scrap the power generating equipment at Burrard Thermal. Both Site C and Burrard Thermal are needed to provide secure, reliable, low-cost power to all domestic, commercial and industrial customers in the future.Art Zink, Coquitlam

Bringing Hope and Building DreamsThe hopes and dreams of kids seem to change from day to day and from weekto week, but it never seems to change that parents always have the hope thattheir children will grow up into the men and women that they have been calledto be. At BC Christian Academy, we are very passionate about the hopes anddreams of not only our children but our families as well. Every student and familythat walks into our school comes with a different story. For some of us we haverelatively calm and simple lives but for others, each day can be a challenge. AtBC Christian Academy, we purpose to meet each family and child where theyare at, and through our community showing compassion and sharing Christ,we help them to overcome the circumstances they are experiencing.

Our community at BC Christian Academy I have been told is like ‘a homeaway from home’ for most. The children feel so comfortable and loved in thehallways that they blossom no matter where they are at. Parents feel this wayas well, knowing that the school is a place where they can come and receivecomfort and support. It is encouraging to know and feel the ‘Spirit of the Lord’in this place.

Matthew 25:40 says, ”Whatever you have done for the least of these brothersof mine you have done for Me,” so as a school we endeavour to meet theneeds of our local community. As a school we need to set the example to ourstudents of what Christian love and acceptance is truly about. We need to dailybe the ‘hands and feet of Christ’ in our community. It is often viewed that onlythe wealthy attend private Christian Schools but in our community it is not aright only for the rich but an opportunity for anyone who is willing to give up,sacrice and to work hard.

Christ is rst in everything we do, every day. FromMath to Bible class, Volleyballpractice to Drama productions, the students & families will experience theteachings and presence of Christ in all that we do. We have been so blessedover the years and are looking forward to sharing more of who Christ is withour community for many more years to come. Drop by and experience whatthe Lord is doing in this place.

DOUG DOWELL,Director of Marketing and Development,BC Christian Academy


His goal: Find fave food trucks online

FOOD TRUCKS

Coq. biz owners starts website for food truckersSARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

If the April 2 food truck festi-val in Port Moody has you han-kering for more four-wheeled dining, a local business owner has you covered.

Coquitlam resident Scott Harper, owner/operator of the Cheese Street Grill and presi-dent of the Fraser Valley Food Truck Association, has started the Food Truck Post website — and, maybe soon, an app — that’s a one-stop shop to show you where all the food trucks are located, when the next fes-tival is and info on booking a truck for a party.

“I built the site because I saw a need for regular folks who are looking for a food truck for their event… where to go to find food trucks or see a list of all of them in one place,” he said.

In short, it’s an easy way to get a glimpse at where your fa-vourite food is currently parked, so it’s no surprise that it came from the mind of a longtime film industry location manager.

Before Harper was serv-

ing up deliciously gooey and perfectly crispy grilled cheese sandwiches, he worked his way up the filming location ladder, and was most recently a film co-ordinator for the city of New Westminster. He made the jump to full-time food trucker last year and quickly found there wasn’t a straightforward way for people to book food trucks or see their locations.

The www.foodtruckpost.com site is entirely free for truck op-erators and foodies alike. Event hosts, such as city staff, can post info about their upcoming

event on a calendar and invite food trucks to attend from one central location. Individual hosts, such as wedding or party planners, can do the same and keep their events private.

And anyone with a hanker-ing for good food can use it to locate the nearest truck.

Harper said about 40 trucks have signed on so far and he expects that number to grow quickly once he has spread the word through invitations to the site.

[email protected]@spayneTC

RICHARD DAL MONTE/THE TRI-CITY NEWSThe owner of Cheese St. Grill has started foodtruckpost.com to help people find their favourite food trucks’ locations.

How to adopt at city shelter

You can adopt a pet at the Coquitlam Animal Shelter. Simply stop by anytime during shelter hours and view and play with the cats and dogs that are up for adoption.

Anyone interested in adopting an animal from the shelter must: fill out an application form; provide some general answers to questions regarding their ability to care for the animal; acquire a license (for dogs only); and pay an adoption fee. (The city reserves the right to refuse adop-tion to any family where staff do not believe that there is an ap-propriate fit between the family and the animal.)

The Coquitlam shelter has a mandatory spay/neuter policy. All cats and dogs are spayed or neutered before they leave the shelter unless they are under six months old. In such in-stances, the shelter provides a $50 certificate to have the ani-mal spayed or neutered when it is older. The shelter requires that new owners sign a legal commitment to carry this out within six months of adoption.

For more information, call 604-927-7387 or email: [email protected].

Q: I want to move to Ontario with mydaughter but my ex-husband has refusedto give his permission. What can I do?A:You will need an agreement or a court order so thatyou can relocate. Sometimes an agreement can benegotiated if the parent who is left behind can makeup access with the child at different times during the

year, or if adjustments are made for travel costs for visits. Otherwise, youwill need to apply to court for permission to move. A judge must weigh anumber of factors including the benefit the child will obtain from the move,the effect of having less time with the other parent, how other family andcommunity relationships would be affected, and the effect on the child’seducation. In some cases, the child’s opinion is also taken into account.A judge will consider the advantages to you of moving, but your child’sbest interests will be most important. It is important to determine whetheryou may move with your daughter before you make plans which can’t becancelled. Resolution of this matter through negotiation or applicationto court may take longer than you expect, so you shouldconsult with a lawyer when the possibility of a move arises.

Q: I have heard that there are spousal supportguidelines. Is that true?

A: While the Child Support Guidelines are legislated andare mandatory, the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines(“SSAGs”) are not law and courts are not required toenforce it. In spousal support cases, courts must apply theprinciples set out in the Divorce Act and Family Law Actand consider: any economic advantage or disadvantagearising from the breakdown of the relationship, the length

of relationship, the role of the parties in the relationship and any parentingresponsibilities. Courts also consider the means and needs of each party todetermine the appropriate amount of spousal support. Because each couple’scircumstances are unique, it can be dicult to predict what amount of spousalsupport will be ordered. The SSAGs were calculated after reviewing currentpractice within the law, to provide some consistency and predictability forparties and judges in deciding spousal support cases. These guidelines areadvisory only, however judges in BC always consider them. They provide arange of support amounts to assist in reaching agreement or to assist the courtin determining the matter. Prior to consideration of the SSAGs, it should bedecided if spousal support should be paid at all. Experiencedfamily law lawyers can give you advice on this issue and othersrelating to the breakdown of your relationship.

Q.My dog has been scooting and licking his hind end.How can I stop this?A. Often the problem you’re asking about is related tothe anal glands. Dogs and cats have two anal glandslocated close to the anal opening at 5 and 7 o’clock.These glands are embedded in the anal sphincter muscleand connected to the anal area by a short narrow canal.Normal gland is a watery brownish liquid with adistinctive unpleasant odour. If content is not expressedwhen the animal defecates, it is retained inside the gland,and discomfort leads to scooting and licking. At your

Veterinarian ofce or groomer it is simple and inexpensive to have a professionalmanually express gland content.Complications occur if the problem is neglected. You may notice skin redness, oozingand scabbing due to chewing, along with dragging the hind end on the oor. Painfuldefecation causes discomfort and nervous behaviour and at this stage we stronglyrecommend a prompt visit to your Veterinarian.Sometimes infected glands get swollen and develop an abscess. An abscess is verypainful and you can see a large swelling or bulging sometimes the size of an egg.Dogs become lethargic and refuse to eat and often develop a high fever. In thesecases surgical intervention is required with an aggressive treatment of antibiotics andpain medications.

Does the digital landscapehave you confused?

Do you even have a website?

Why should I advertise? Top 10 reasons….• Identify. Advertising lets people know you’re in business and the type of

products or services you offer.• Reach out. Bring potential customers to you who might otherwise never know

you exist• Special sales and promotions can be advertised that get people’s attention.• Hours of operation. Nothing is more frustrating than going to a store to buy

something you need and realizing they are closed. The potential customer willprobably go somewhere else to make their purchase.

• “Word of mouth” is said to be one of the best forms of advertising, and it’strue. Media advertising in newspapers, online or other media will help get newcustomers who will then increase business by their spreading the word to theirfriends.

• Seasonal Promotions. There are great benets of advertising for specialtyitems or seasonal products.Advertising special seasonal items can bring additionalsales at certain times of the year.

• Condence. One of the benets of advertising is making potential customersfeel more condent that a business is professional, stable and reputable.

• Blitz. Even companies that are huge, and have plenty of customers, still want tokeep their name or products in front of consumers. Frequency is the key.

• Consistency. If a business stops advertising it may give the impression that it isout of business. Consistent advertising yields the best results.

• Invest. An old saying in the marketing industry is “Advertising doesn’t cost, itpays.” Sometimes you have to invest money to make money, andadvertising should be an investment that is included in a business’sannual budget

Fox student cred-its game of kings for overcoming health and school challengesDIANE STRANDBERGTri-CiTy News

A Grade 12 student at Terry Fox secondary is crediting his teachers

and his chess class for saving his life and enabling him to take the next step as he pre-pares to graduate in June.

Aaron Gi is a confident 17-year-old with a thick mop of black hair and a ready smile who is finishing off a heavy load of academics and starting a new job at Safeway.

How he got to where he is today is one of those stories that is made for the movies but it happened not far away, but in Port Coquitlam, in a school named for a one-legged runner who is also famous for overcoming challenges.

What PE teacher Brad Peterson remembers of that spring day in 2013 is very little: A class of Grade 9 boys getting ready to play table tennis after some warm-up fitness activi-ties. A commotion around a teen who had collapsed on the floor.

Gi is motionless and not breathing, recalls Peterson, describing a scene out of a first aid manual.

Fortunately, Peterson and fellow teachers John Murphy, Verne Fedoruk and first-aid attendant Casey Kingman had CPR experience and a defibril-lator ready at hand.

“We shocked his heart twice… I think it was the

scariest thing I’ve ever experi-enced,” Petersen says.

Finally, the boy’s pulse returned and the group con-tinued to administer CPR until paramedics arrived.

But while the school was pleased Gi had pulled through and the dramatic heart inci-dent and the life-saving tech-niques that saved him became part of the Terry Fox secondary school legend, Gi had another tale to tell.

OPENING MOVESAaron Gi’s story is one of

perseverance through struggle and frustration.

At first, he felt like a fish out of water. The heart inci-dent and three weeks at BC Children’s Hospital for surgery to get a defibrillator implanted in his chest put him behind.

He struggled with memory loss and remembers not being able to count backwards from eight, an embarrassing after-effect for someone who had always been good at math.

His doctors told him his re-covery could take a year, which seemed like a long time to the then 14-year-old.

“I was in a foul mood that semester,” Gi says, recalling his first few weeks back at school.

He couldn’t play violin any-more because the instrument hurt his chest where the defi-brillator for regulating his heart had been implanted.

Physical activity in PE was also out of the question and while everyone was telling him to take a break, Gi felt stifled and overprotected.

“I didn’t feel anything. I felt normal,” Gi says, admitting those early days back at school were bleak.

But he wasn’t normal.

Tactics, determination & a no-quit attitudeTRI-CITY SCHOOLS

How many normal 14-year-olds have almost died?

How many have almost died twice?

A NEW CHALLENGEWhat few knew, and Gi is

now ready to share, is that he was born with a hole in a heart blood vessel, a condition that required surgery and that nearly killed him when he was a baby. His family, originally from Korea, including his two sisters and mom and dad, were a great support.

“My parents went through a lot of trouble because of me,” Gi says both of the childhood wor-ries and his more recent medi-cal issues here.

But he did his part, too.With his parents’ backing

and help from Fox, Gi cast about for something that he could do that would help him regain his lost equilibrium. The new Chess 11 elective jumped out at him as an option.

Now here was something the teen could get involved in and learn, something without physical risk.

“It sounded very intriguing. What kind of school has chess?” Gi remembers thinking.

And although he was only in Grade 10, he got his coun-sellor to ask teacher Dejan Radic for permission to take the class.

Radic, who developed the course for Grade 11s then ex-panded it for Grade 12s, was

more than happy to welcome Gi.Although he recalls the youth

as a frail and withdrawn boy, he believed that chess could help him with problem solving, cognition and critical-thinking skills.

And being younger than everybody else wouldn’t be a problem, thought Radic, because Gi already knew the basics of the game and the class welcomes all kinds and abili-ties.

“You have all types of kids in the classroom and they are all equal,” he says.

But like anything new, it takes time to learn the ropes.

Gi remembers being good at chess from the start because his dad had taught him to play. Radic tells a different story.

“I wish I could say he had a natural ability,” he says. “No, he was as bad as everyone else. But with will, determination and a no-quit attitude, I knew he had the qualities of a chess player.”

For Gi, it was a matter of pride.

GAME OF KINGSGi wanted to win and knew

the best way to beat the odds that were stacked against him was to study the moves, to prac-tise the tactics and to memorize the strategies.

“Tactics, it’s still crazy, the tactics,” Gi says, rolling his eyes and recalling the tough tests that Radic gave his students to grade them.

But he persevered through two semesters and joined the

lunchtime chess club. It was be-cause of chess that Gi believes he regained his mental faculties be-cause success in chess translated into doing well in other subjects.

“Chess is why I do well in English because I can be cre-ative and strategize. Chess is about structuring and that’s good for English and math.”

Radic says there’s more to it.“I really think it’s attitude,”

he said. “You have to be able to stare defeat in the eye. You have to think ‘I will be better,’ not in terms of skill but in terms of life.”

There are regrets, though.Gi wishes he gave more

credit to the teachers who saved his life on the gym floor — Peterson who was first to take action that fateful day, he says, is the reason he’s still alive and functioning well.

And it’s only now, after tell-ing his story in several English essays, that Gi realizes he has something to say and, thanks to chess and his full recovery, a reason to say it.

“It’s a rare story. It’s like a sec-ond life — technically, a third life — a reason to live on.”

• Aaron Gi will graduate from Terry Fox secondary school in June. In January, he won the Terry Fox Term 1 chess cham-pionship. Dejan Radic is now teaching seven blocks of Chess 11 and 12 classes to 210 Terry Fox students and will be teaching chess to international students this summer.

Get hitched with help from your library

TRI-CITY LIBRARIES

Have you just become engaged? Pondering the perfect wedding

location or weighing the pros and cons of summer vs. winter events? Or maybe you’re hip-deep in invitations already, with just the final details to iron out?

Wherever you are in the planning process, your local library has books to help you create your perfect, unique wedding day.

Start your process with a comprehensive guide like Laura Strutt’s DIY Wedding Planner: The Step-by-step Guide to Creating your Perfect Wedding Day on a Budget. Get an overview of what’s involved in planning a wedding and figure out if the DIY approach is really for you.

For brides on a budget (and who’s not?), pick up Meg Keene’s no-nonsense guide to cutting through the hype. Get detailed checklists and insider tips in A Practical Wedding Planner: A Step-by-step Guide to Creating the Wedding You Want with the Budget You’ve Got (without Losing your Mind in the Process). Keene is a popular blogger and her sassy, familiar style will keep you gig-gling even while you’re… well, losing your mind.

If you’re on the style-ob-sessed side of the spectrum, you’ll find luscious photos, high-impact ideas and eye-catchingly modern palettes in Vane Broussard’s Weddings in Color: 500 Creative Ideas for Designing a Modern Wedding. Pore over hundreds of entirely modern styles and glean ideas from interviews with cutting edge industry experts. From al-tars to invitations, the gorgeous photos that fill this book are anything but traditional.

Booked into an idyllic

outdoor venue? The Knot Book of Outdoor Weddings: Fresh Ideas for Events in Gardens, Vineyards, Beaches, Mountains and More by Carley Roney, will help you plan memorable touches to highlight your location’s natu-ral beauty, and infuse it with special, meaningful touches that reflect your personality. Get tips on handling outdoor considerations — hello, thun-derstorm! — and use an easy planning tool to set up a plan B just in case.

Those further along in the planning process might want to check out Lisa Francesca’s The Wedding Officiant’s Guide: How to Write and Conduct a Perfect Ceremony. With up to a third of weddings officiated by a friend or family member, this friendly guide is a great resource for novice officiants or couples who want input into the ceremony’s structure. Filled with practical tips, this handy guide provides empow-ering advice to help couples and officiants create a delight-ful, meaningful and personal-ized ceremony.

Are you in the bridal party? There’s more involved than agreeing on a dress. Become a superstar bridesmaid with Kate Chynoweth’s fun tips in The Bridesmaid Guide: Modern Advice on Etiquette, Parties and Being Fabulous. Host a gorgeous bridal shower, throw an unforgettable bachelorette

party and be the rock your bes-tie needs on her big day.

All done with planning? Details all done? Then it’s time for some relaxing pre-wedding reading. Kick back with Bagpipes, Brides and Homicides, a recent instal-ment in Kaitlyn Dunnett’s Liss MacCrimmon Scottish Mystery series. A historical re-enactment takes a murderous turn in Liss’ small town home, and the top suspect is… her father. Liss doesn’t believe it, and she’s determined to clear her dad’s name before she walks down the aisle with her beau. A seasoned sleuth, Liss is certain that she can solve the crime. Now, if only she could convince her mom to lay off the tartan wedding scheme.

All these books and many more can be found at your local public library. To all the brides out there, congratula-tions — and we’ll see you at the library.

A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published

on Wednesdays. Maryn Ashdown works at Port Moody Public

Library.

A GOOD READ

MARYN ASHDOWN

Fracking film on tonight

A film document-ing fracking and the young Aboriginal lawyer whose community is affected by it will be screened tonight (Wednesday) at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam.

Independent advo-cacy group Lead Now is showing the film Fractured Land, which has been popular on the documentary film festi-val circuit.

Filmmakers Fiona Rayher and Damien Gillis followed Caleb Behn for four years, capturing hundreds of hours of footage of his development, through law school, sharing knowledge with other Indigenous peoples, speaking to larger and larger audiences, deal-ing with deep commu-nity divisions and build-ing a movement.

Behn and 350.org founder Bill McKibben will be on hand for a Q&A after the screening.

Tickets for Fractured Land cost $12 for adults ($9 per person for a group of eight or more when purchased together). Tickets are available at evergre-enculturalcentre.ca. The doors open at 6:30 p.m., the show begins at 7 p.m. The Evergreen Cultural Centre is lo-cated at 1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam.

Piñata for a special dayVISUAL ARTS

Janis Warren

A couple of years back, Kat Munro got an idea while watching television.

A giant piñata was in the middle of a street, spilling out candy, for a commercial.

At the time, the Port Moody artist was looking for some-thing new to do, something unique that others weren’t doing.

So she headed over to the library to take out a few books on how to build the Mexican celebratory objects.

She played around with the craft for a while, figuring out the best recipe for her papier maché creations.

And this is what she came up with: She ripped telephone book pages into strips and mixed them with a flour and warm water solution before smoothing them onto a bal-loon.

One layer was done a day for six days to form the head.

Next came the body that, de-pending on the character, was embellished with clothing and plastic jewels.

Finally, she popped the balloon and cut an opening at the top of the head to snake through a ribbon, which could be used to hang the piñata from the ceiling — either for decoration or to smash up.

“I found the last procedure was like performing brain sur-gery,” she laughed.

Munro launched her busi-ness, It’s a Piñata, by donat-ing a few to her friends. Then a few dear ones — Alice in Wonderland and Mad Hatter — were handed over to Canuck Place.

Now, Munro has some of her piñatas in Vancouver shops.

She has created piñatas based on the likeness of news and radio hosts and, for her clientele, she has made carica-tures of them for big occasions such as milestone birthdays, anniversaries and weddings.

Munro likes to make im-ages of celebrities, too. On her website, she features piñatas of Madonna, John Travolta (à la Pulp Fiction), Marilyn Monroe,

Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy and Amy Winehouse.

Her cost is $100 and rises de-pending on the caricature.

“If you want a piñata of yourself morphing into a super girl, that would be on the higher end,” Munro said, “but if it’s just the basic Mad Hatter and you give me full licence to create then it would be less.”

Still, her piñatas have evolved since when she began.

Last fall, the former Walt Disney Canada artist displayed eight to 10 circus-themed pieces at the Port Moody Arts Centre for its Art 4 Life exhibit “but now I make the heads much bigger,” she said. “It gives me more room for their expressions.”

She acknowledges the pi-ñatas are a fun vehicle to get her art out there (currently, the Vancouver Film School alumna is working on an ink drawing series of shoes).

However, she worries how long her recyclable art will last. “I need old phone books because I find the thinness of the paper to be perfect,” she said. “I’ve got a steady stream of friends donating them but I almost fear that I may run out one day because they’ve not as common as they used to be.”

[email protected]

RACHEL GAMBOA Port Moody artist Kat Munro taught herself how to make piñatas about two years ago. Her business, It’s a Piñata, custom makes piñatas for special events such as birthday parties and weddings. She is pictured with her “Like a Virgin” Madonna creation.

Film crews will be busy in Anmore on Friday to shoot the ending to a new web series.

Nord-Stewart Productions will be at 3025 Anmore Creek Way — a log cabin that will double as a Big White home — for Young & Reckless, a five-part comedy web series that stars Leo-nominated actor Devon Ferguson (How to be an Actor) and Sierra Pitkin (Juno).

The story is about a law-school dropout, played by Ferguson, who volunteers to babysit the daughter of his neigh-bour; however, he soon finds out the 13-year-old girl (Pitkin) is bad news.

The show is directed and produced by Brianne Nord-Stewart and written by Andrea Shawcross. Also in the cast are Christina Sicoli (Afterparty, Paranormal Solutions), Doron Bell (DinoTrux) and Seth Isaac Johnson (The Killing). Last year, Nord-Stewart was one of five B.C. producers picked by Telus Optik to receive funding. Her team was mentored by consul-tant Annelise Larson, producer Andrew Williamson (Motive) and writer Mark Farrell (Seed, Corner Gas) in part-nership with Canada’s National Screen Institute.

Young & Restless will be distributed this fall through Telus Optik’s Video on Demand and YouTube channel.

Moody middle swims with Little Mermaid Jr.

MUSICAL THEATRE

JANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

About a quarter of Moody middle school is in this year’s spring musical production, a show chosen because of its water-based theme.

A total of 74 students in grades 6 to 8 at the School of the Arts will present the Disney classic The Little Mermaid Jr., from April 19 to 21.

Director Jane Ono, who also stitched most of the costumes, designed the sets and choreo-graphed the dance steps, said students were invited to the open call in January to try out for one — or more — of the characters.

And Payton Dembicki was picked for the starring role because of the Grade 8 talent’s exceptional singing and acting skills, Ono said.

The storyline revolves around the mermaid prin-cess who makes a deal with a sea witch in order to meet a human prince on land.

Ono said the school is cur-rently studying about water and working with artists-in-residence to create marine projects (Moody is also split into pods with names based on the elements: earth, fire, water and wind).

Ono gave kudos to the kids and staff for pulling off the production. Teacher Michelle Reichert provided musical di-rection while Shelley Eglestad, Chris Magnusson and Caroline Parker as well as SFU student teacher Caitlyn Inkster offered assistance at rehearsals and after school.

Disney shows have been popular in School District 43 this year, with both Archbishop Carney and Gleneagle second-aries producing Beauty and the Beast.

• Tickets for The Little Mermaid Jr. are $8/$4 and available at the door on show night at 7 p.m. They can also be

bought in advance through the school (3115 St. Johns St.). Call 604-461-7384.

Liam Murphy is part of the salon speaker seriesJANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

Liam Murphy isn’t quite sure how he’s going to squeeze it all in.

For his two-hour talk at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts next Friday, the head brewmaster for Yellow Dog Brewing will have a lot on his plate to share about his trade.

But Murphy has broken his lecture into four catego-ries to make it all fit.

He’ll be speaking about the history of craft beer in North America; the raw ingredients (i.e., malt, hops and yeast) needed to blend a beer; the difference between the art and the science of brew making; and B.C.’s craft beer revolution.

And somewhere in be-tween, Murphy will have some tastings and pairings for participants who have paid a bit more to be part of the whole experience.

Murphy, who will soon call Port Moody home, has been part-owner of Yellow Dog since it opened on Murray Street two years ago.

Since then, the small business in Port Moody has doubled its capacity and has won numerous accolades along the way including at the BC Beer Awards and a Spike Award as the city’s best tourism destination.

Two other breweries (Moody Ales and Twin Sails) have since joined the land-mark and another is on the way (Parkside), scheduled to open this spring.

“It’s great,” Murphy said. “We have all come together

to make Brewery Row. We are all on the same side of Murray Street, too, across from Rocky Point Park. It makes it easy for resi-dents and soon, we’ll have SkyTrain to bring even more people to our doorstep.”

Murphy’s passion for beer making started about a decade ago. His training took him to The American Brewers Guild in Vermont and, before he joined Yellow Dog, he worked as a shift brewer at Parallel 49 Brewing Company.

Murphy said the micro-brew he shares with Mike and Melinda Coghill now has eight beers on tap — and enough staff to allow him to take time to work on other operational projects such as researching and testing out new recipes.

• Tickets for the Salon Speaker Series with Liam Murphy on April 22 at 7 p.m. are $5 for the talk or $25 for the talk plus a tasting event. Call Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave.) at 604-664-1636 or visit brownpaper-tickets.com.

MORE BIZ CASH FOR 125 SALMONPUBLIC ART

Three more corporations have shelled out $5,000 each to sponsor a Coquitlam 125 salmon sculpture as part of the city’s milestone celebrations this year.

Last week, the Austin Heights Business Improvement Association (BIA), Marcon and Square Nine Developments were named partners of the public art project.

Austin Height’s iconic fish will be placed at Blue

Mountain Park while Marcon’s will go in Cottonwood Park in Burquitlam; Square Nine’s will be located at Town Centre Park, by Lafarge Lake.

The trio join the Onni Group, which last month donated the cash for a legacy sculpture at city hall.

Still, more salmon are up for grabs. Residents, businesses and groups can pay for a fish at sites such as Como Lake Park and Mackin Park.

In return, sponsors will have their name and/or logo on a plaque near the sculpture and be recognized at the unveiling ceremony, happening in July at the Kaleidoscope festival.

The Coquitlam 125 salmon — similar to the Spirit Bear and orca public art projects in Vancouver a number of years back — were made by Squamish Nation artist Jody Broomfield. Visit co-quitlam125.ca/salmon.

National U18 title for VagramovON THE COURT

PoMo tennis player knocks off Wong in finals

She may only be 14 years old, but Port Moody athlete Sasha Vagramov is already making waves on the national tennis circuit.

Last Friday, she won the U18 Canadian Indoor Tennis Championships in Markham, Ont., coming back from being down 1-6 in the first set to

upset reigning champion Vanessa Wong. Vagramov bounced back into form in the second set, which she won 6-2, before winning the third 7-6.

The victory avenged last week’s loss at the U16 National Championships at Nun’s Island Tennis Club in Montreal, where she went down in the quaterfinals to B.C. teammate Jessie Gong.

Vagramov went on to win the consolation, while Gong finished second after making it to the finals.

Team BC has had an in-credible run at the Canadian Indoor Tennis Championships. In the U12 Nationals held at he Tennis Academy in Calgary, Alta., last week, Lachlan Robertson made the boys singles final, while Danielle Tuhten made the girls final.

Christopher Radloff and Henry Ren reached the boys under-12 doubles final and Jerry Huang made the boys under-16 final and Jessie Gong the girls final. Gong also made the girls under-16

doubles final. In doubles this week at the

under-18 nationals, B.C. duo Luka Vukovic and Max Korkh made the boys doubles final and Vagramov played in the girls doubles final.

The last national champi-onship wraps up this week at the Hollyburn Country Club in West Vancouver, where the best under-14 tennis players in B.C. and Canada are compet-ing for that national title.

AAA HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER

Coquitlam club leads North Zone AAA standings GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

The Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils continued to dominate the AAA girls high school North Zone soccer standings Monday night, posting their third win of the season.

The 6-1 victory came at the expense of the Centennial Centaurs, a rival Coquitlam club that was on a two-game win streak heading into the contest.

But it wasn’t all bad for the Centennial.

The Centaurs managed to do something that no North Zone team has accomplished during the regular season: score on the Blue Devils and end their shutout streak.

With the loss, the Cents now slide down to third place with a 2-1-0 record, good enough for six points in the standings, with a 10-6 goal differential.

Best locked up another win last week, defeating Port Coquitlam’s Riverside Rapids 2-0 at Gates Park.

But the Rapids bounced back Monday night with a strong performance, however they were unable to best the Heritage Woods Kodiaks, with the teams settling for a 1-1 tie.

Heritage Woods is currently in second place in the stand-ings with a 2-0-1, after defeat-ing the Gleneagle Talons 10-0 last week. Also on Monday, the Terry Fox Ravens notched their first victory of the season, defeating Gleneagle 2-0 on Cunnings Field at Coquitlam Town Centre.

Voss selected to elite training at Whistler

ON THE SLOPES

PoMo skier one of nine chosen for additional training

The ski season may be over but Katrina Voss will keep working up at Whistler after being selected by the Mike and Manny Foundation for elite training.

The Port Moody athlete finished the season with a trip to the Whistler Cup last week, where she was the top B.C. racer and the 12th fastest in the country in the giant slalom event.

However, she struggled in the Super G, the first event of the weekend, where she was one of a handful of competitors to crash. The event was even-tually cancelled due to safety concerns.

On the second day, she was able to finish 34th overall against 79 racers from 21 coun-tries in the giant slalom.

Lauren Swistak earned a top 10 ranking at the Canadian Olympic Trials last Saturday in Toronto last Saturday.

An underdog heading into

the competition, she climbed 22 places for her 31 seed in the rankings to qualify for the final in the 200 butterfly, where she placed ninth.

She was joined in the top 10 by Simon Fraser University freshman MacKenzie Hamill of Ontario, who is the Clan’s first NCAA champion on the men’s swim team.

Hamill was ranked 17th going into the event, but qualified for the A final where

he placed 10th. The top 10 Canadian

swimmers advanced to the A championship final from the preliminaries while swimmers who finished 11th through 20th advanced to the B finals.

Meanwhile Tim Woinoski, another Tri-City athlete, fin-ished 20th at the event in the 1500 m freestyle.

Tory Nyhaug has won his second time trial of the season at the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup event in Manchester, England, last Saturday.

The Coquitlam racer and London 2012 Olympian, who won his first time trial at the season opener in Argentina last month, went into the weekend competi-tion ranked fifth. During the event, he produced a

solid run of 28.830 seconds, knocking Netherlands’ Niek Kimman (28.904) out of first place.

American BMXer Corben Sharrah was the fa-vourite in the race, seeded first overall for the event. However, despite a blazing second half, the U.S. racer went through the second turn in seventh position and eventually finished the race in second place.

Nyhaug’s first time trial victory of the season came two weeks ago in Argentina, where he led second place finisher Damien Godet with a time of 31.026.
