Hate-filled graffiti on PoCo daycare, vanTRI-CITY CRIME

SARAH PAYNEThe Tri-CiTy News

Dave Larocque planned to get a jump on paperwork when he went to work last Saturday morning but, instead, he ended up scrambling to find a way to cover up hate-filled

graffiti — including swastikas and “KKK” — from the walls and van of PoCo Dots Daycare.

The daycare manager said he arrived at the Fernwood Avenue building at 8 a.m. on July 2 and said while the facil-ity gets tagged about once or twice a year, the damage to the

van this time is particularly troublesome.

“Having the van completely covered was the major dam-age because we can’t just take a roller and paint over it,” Larocque told The Tri-City News.

The 15-seat van is used from

September through June to transport kids to and from four schools in the area; in the sum-mer, it takes kids on field trips.

But because it’s close to 20 years old, the cost of repainting it outstripped the van’s value and the ICBC replacement sum of $2,000 wouldn’t come

close to buying the daycare a new, similar-sized vehicle.

“It’s mechanically sound and safe, it runs well… but we had to find a way to fix this without losing our van,” Larocque said.

CANADA DAY FESTIVITIES: COQUITLAM

Photographs for The Tri-City News by Elaine Fleury, Robert McDonald and DiPidro Photography

Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park was the centre of the city’s Canada Day festivities, mark-ing the nation’s 149th birthday and debuting the park’s new per-formance plaza. The amphitheatre featured musical performances and the event drew some 65,000 people to the park for food, fun and activities. The day closed with a fire-works show.


Rave review for new plaza – from the city

COQUITLAM AMPHITHEATRE

Added facilities part of plan for Town Centre ParkGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

An estimated 65,000 people took in Canada Day festivities on the shores of Lafarge Lake as residents flocked to Town Centre Park to celebrate the country’s 149th birthday.

The city estimates that be-tween 30,000 and 40,000 peo-ple took part in the day-time activities, with the number of festival-goers peaking in the evening for the light display.

Raul Allueva, general man-ager of parks, recreation and cultural services, said the event showcased the new plaza and the city’s efforts to transition its larger festivals to the south side of Town Centre Park. “It was a little more intimate,” he told The Tri-City News. “I think it worked really well. The plaza was outstanding.”

Because the site is open in all directions, Allueva said the plaza is easily accessible. Some people watched the various performances and entertain-ment on the stage while others were happy to eat some food and take in the view of the lake, he added.

“That is the vision,” he said. “It is a place where people can

enjoy the setting and the per-formance if there is one.”

And more work is expected in the area.

Allueva said a permanent bathroom facility is part of a larger amenity package included in the Town Centre Park master plan that he said will improve future events at the lake.

Canada Day was the first event for the amphitheatre, which was a controversial project. During last year’s public consultation on the performance plaza, residents were fairly evenly split on whether the project should be approved, with a number of people expressing reserva-tions about the look of the

project and saying it might disrupt the natural setting next to the lake.

(As well, the project went over budget, rising $500,000 from the budgeted cost of $2.7 million to $3.2 million.)

But Allueva said he hopes some of those concerns could be put to rest now that the project has been completed. He noted that a lot of effort went into ensuring the amphi-theatre-style seating fit with the natural landscape and the slope of the shoreline.

“Anyone who had any misgivings about its appropri-ateness… Any fears they had would be dispelled.”

Multiple charges for Coq. man in Alberta

CRIME

Attempted car-jacking alleged by Redcliff Mounties

A Coquitlam man is facing charges in Alberta after an alleged attempted carjack-ing in Medicine Hat over the weekend.

Last Friday, Redcliff RCMP received three calls reporting an erratic driver travelling at a high rate of speed and passing people on the shoulder of the fast lane on Highway 1 near

Medicine Hat. Some reported the vehicle was speeding by at 163 km/h in a 110 km/h zone.

Officers stopped the west-bound vehicle on the highway shortly after one of its tires went flat.

The driver jumped out of the vehicle and approached the driver of another ve-hicle parked close by and attempted to force that driver out. Redcliff RCMP officers approached the suspect in the fleeing vehicle to prevent the attempted robbery but the driver refused to co-operate,

according to a police report.After a struggle, the driver

was placed under arrest; no injuries were reported.

Daniel Joseph Landry is facing charges including at-tempted robbery, failing to remain at the accident scene, dangerous driving, assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and attempting to disarm a po-lice officer. He was scheduled to make his first appearance in a Medicine Hat court yes-terday.

‘Odd mix of spewed hatred,’ says Mountie

TRI-CITY CRIME

He sent an email asking for help in removing the graffiti and the next morning parents, staff and even an old high school friend of Larocque’s showed up to scrub the nasty messages and images from the van.

“It’s not a work of art but at least there’s no swastikas,” Larocque said, adding he figures the culprits, who were heard by a neighbour between 2 and 3 a.m. on July 2, were likely kids going for shock value.

And while the extra work of cleaning the van and the build-ing have been a hassle, Larocque said the response has been heartwarming. “It’s been really neat to see the community reach out a little bit,” he said.

Coquitlam RCMP Const. Jamie Phillipson confirmed police are investigating the inci-dent, possibly as a hate crime.

“There’s no pre-existing mo-tivation on the property… it’s an odd mix of spewed hatred,” he said. “The file is still being investigated with E Division’s Hate Crimes Unit.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2016-21143.

EVERGREEN LINE

GARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

Work on the Evergreen Line construction project is enter-ing its final phase, with tun-nel construction expected to be completed by the fall and opening scheduled in early 2017.

According to the Ministry of Transportation, tunnel interior work and systems installations will be taking place over the summer, followed by track testing.

“The Evergreen Line is about 85% compete,” said Trish Rorison, a spokesperson for the ministry, in an email. “Construction in the tunnel is ongoing, including track work.”

Last week, the Evergreen Line Rapid Transit Project of-fice released a video of train testing along Pinetree Way in Coquitlam. The clip shows the train leave Coquitlam Station, continue through Lincoln Station (located in the north-

east corner of the Coquitlam Centre mall parking lot), before stopping at the Lafarge Lake-Douglas Station terminus.

As expected, the tunnel has proven to be the most challenging part of the line’s construction, with the section mired in boring difficulties and sinkholes that were created as a result.

But the ministry said that the hardest parts are completed, with testing for the 1.2-km portion of the line on sched-ule to begin this fall. Train testing and commissioning between Lougheed Station and Burquitlam Station is complete while work between Port Moody and Coquitlam is expected to continue through the summer.

Station construction is mostly complete, said Rorison, while work on the station pla-zas is expected to continue into the fall.

Speak up with ideas for Belcarra park, cottages

BELCARRA COTTAGES


Belcarra Regional Park users may want to time one of their visits this month to the days when Metro Vancouver is seek-ing public input on plans for the south end of the park.

On July 14 and 16, visitors to the Belcarra picnic area can check out info on a section of the park that is home to seven cottages and the historic Bole House, and provide feedback on the area’s future program-ming and development.

“It’s more blank slate, we’re not showing options but just asking for feedback at this early stage,” said Jamie Vala, Metro Vancouver’s division manager for regional parks/central area.

Metro is asking for the pub-lic’s input after original plans to demolish the cabins were sty-mied when Port Moody council gave six of them heritage status (the seventh is in Belcarra). But with increasing demand for the park — the number of visitors has increased by 22% in the last five years — Metro is looking for ways to accommodate the growing crowds.

“Growth in the northeast sector is just increasing and we don’t anticipate it’s going to slow down,” Vala said.

Belcarra South residents

have been renting their seaside cottages, on the eastern shore of Indian Arm, for decades. They were notified in early 2013 of Metro’s plan to demolish the homes and they have been bat-tling since to hang on to them.

A spring 2014 report by Donald Luxton and Associates said the cottages are “the only surviving example of the nu-merous cottages that lined the shores of Burrard Inlet.”

But in issuing the 2013 evic-tion notice, Metro Van said the cottages are in disrepair and pose a liability. It also noted an interest in expanding the park to create public access to a beach that sits just over a rocky outcrop from the picnic area.

Vala said two plans for

Belcarra South, from the 1980s and ’90s, were approved by the board and included opening up the area to the public and es-tablishing picnic shelters, wash-rooms, access to the beach, a small wharf and adaptive re-use of the Bole House.

The public consultation will ask for feedback in four areas: environmental protection and interpretation; access and ame-nity improvements; appropri-ate use of publicly owned struc-tures; and future priorities.

• Public open houses are on Thursday, July 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday, July 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., both at the Belcarra picnic area.

Sheltering private schools while undermining publicSchool’s out for the

summer but recent debates on the

educational front suggest we’re in need of a lesson ourselves.

As an eye-opening piece by the National Observer’s Sandy Garossino pointed out, those who can afford pri-vate school are apparently eligible to write off a por-tion of the fees that cover lunch and recess time as “child care” expenses on their taxes — even for teenagers up to 16 years of age.

And although they’re far from accessible to everyone, private schools continue to receive per-pupil operating grants at up to 50% of the level handed out to public schools. That taxpayer-funded subsidy comes to about $300 million annu-

ally at a time when public schools are facing closure around the province.

It’s a policy that a re-cent poll suggested most British Columbians don’t support.

Education Minister Mike Bernier defends the subsidy as providing choices for parents. He also made the point that in the public school sys-tem, the province pays for

100% of capital costs.Yet if that were the

case, boards of educa-tion wouldn’t have to sell off school lands to fund replacement schools that make sense, or lease a number of closed former public school properties to private institutions to bolster operating revenue.

If public funding were adequate, parents across the province wouldn’t have to fundraise for ev-erything from computers to playground equipment, once considered essential parts of public schools.

Before the next class graduates, we need to re-think the lesson plan on what’s considered fair funding for our schools because, right now, we’re undermining public edu-cation while sheltering the private system.

Library staff always changing with times

89-year-old driver wouldn’t be bullied

COQUITLAM PUBLIC LIBRARY TRI-CITY ROADS

The Editor,Re. “Union, CPL at odds over

new positions” (The Tri-City News, June 15).

In the article by Diane Strandberg, it’s stated that Coquitlam Public Library director Todd Gnissios “said the library needs people who can work with new technol-ogy, adapt to changing needs of the library and offer services outside the confines of the tra-ditional library branch.”

“Everything we’re doing is changing,” he is quoted as say-ing. “What we have is a struc-ture that can’t respond to that.”

As a retired library staff member, I am offended in more ways than one.

Public libraries are special places. They are not trying to sell you something. You don’t have to go there to get service. They offer many things to many people of all ages.

Whether you think of public libraries as hallowed halls of learning with strict rules, busy community centres of programs

for all ages or even the quiet spot to hang out to finished school work, they have been changing since they started.

Coquitlam Public Library started in Centennial second-ary school and moved many times before it settled into the two locations presently oc-cupied. Many changes have happened that included new technology and new services provided by the staff.

You hear comments that with all the electronic devices we have now, computers and

eBooks to name only two, books would fade away and no longer be needed. Yet library staff have adapted; for exam-ple, they teach computer skills and how to use eBooks.

In library surveys, the peo-ple of Coquitlam reported that staff are the library’s greatest resource. I am outraged that Mr. Gnissios has no faith in the present staff and is creating six new management positions he hopes staff will bid for, which are really their present posi-tions with a few management duties thrown in.

Libraries and their staffs will always be changing, respond-ing, adapting. Mr. Gnissios, work with yours.Jo Patterson, Chilliwack

The Editor,My 89-year-old mother

was stuck in the gridlock of Pinetree Way last week when she was rear-ended by an-other motorist.

When she got out of her vehicle to inspect it and get information from the gentle-man (I use this term lightly), he tried to convince her that there was no damage to her car.

She insisted that he provide his name and paperwork. He again insisted there was no damage to either vehicle and that he didn’t need to give her his paperwork.

My mother stated that she had already taken down his licence plate number and that if he did not provide his name, she was going to call the police. He then said that they could both pull around the corner for him to give his name. She said, “No, you will give it to me now or I will call the police.”

At that point, my sister-

in-law happened to drive by and stopped, which added a little to support for my poor mother. The “gentleman” then provided the necessary paperwork, as he should in any type of accident.

It’s a very sad day, indeed,

when we try to bully anyone, but shame on that driver for picking on a senior.

I am very proud of my mother for standing up to this person.Theresa Hendriks, Coquitlam

READER WANTS MORE UPLIFTING LETTERSThe Editor,

Re. “Good neighbour? He may be PoCo’s best neigh-bour” (Letters, The Tri-City News, June 29).

I was delighted and uplifted to read the letter to the editor written by Margaret Matthews.

So many letters to the editor are crabby and carping. There are so many good things happening in the neigh-bourhoods we are all so proud of. It is nice to hear about them and I suggest you encourage more of your reader-ship to give appreciation where it is well deserved by writing similar letters to the editor.Ian MacSween, Port Coquitlam

Want Ma’s house?ANMORE

DIANE STRANDBERGThe Tri-CiTy News

The village of Anmore has run out of options to save the former home of B.C. pioneer Margaret ‘Ma’ Murray and is now appealing to heritage buffs and entrepreneurs to move the century-old cottage and restore it.

A request for expressions of interest has been posted on the BC Bid website for someone to retain, move and restore the original Ma Murray homestead. Ideally, the pro-ponent would move the 700 sq. ft. building to private land but the village will consider a proposal to put the cottage on civic property, depending on the use, parking requirements and revenue sharing, among other things.

Mayor John McEwen said only the oldest portion of what was once used as Anmore village hall is worth saving, ac-cording to Heritage BC, and the village needs the structure moved to make way for a new village centre.

Another portion of the build-ing, a converted garage used for village administration but de-commissioned in 2012 because of rodent infestations and other problems, will be demolished.

“We want to build a new vil-lage hall there [and] because there’s a septic system and all of the services are there [the

building needs to be moved],” McEwen said.

This is the last chance for the building that once housed newspaper pioneer Ma Murray and her family, and McEwen said proposals such as moving the building to the Ioco lands and turning it into a restaurant have not panned out.

“We’re hoping that with pub-licity, some people would come forward,” he told The Tri-City News.

As to the logistics of mov-ing the former homestead, it’s entirely feasible, said a spokes-person for Port Coquitlam’s Nickel Bros. Adam Knipfel said his company was brought in to have a look at the building

and although there is no firm proposal, the move would be standard and not pose a risk to the structure.

“If it’s not collapsing now, it’s not going to collapse on our transport with the proper mov-ing equipment,” said Knipfel, who said the 60-year-old com-pany has moved many older homes over the years.

Other than adding some bracing to the structure, the move would be straightforward, he said.

The deadline for the request for proposals is July 15. For more information, visit bcbid.gov.bc.ca.

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTOThe clock is ticking on the 100-year-old former Anmore village hall building that was once the home of B.C. pioneer Margaret ‘Ma’ Murray. The village council is hoping to find someone to move the building either to private land or possibly a civic properly.

The company said the move will give managers the flexibil-ity to adjust staffing to match the reduced amount of work needed due to the “changing business reality” and doesn’t necessarily mean a lockout will be triggered.

Mike Palecek, president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), denounced the move as one aimed at forc-ing 50,000 postal workers to accept steep concessions.

“We knew this was their game all along,” Palecek said. “They are sabotaging the pub-lic review of the post office. They refused to negotiate fairly with us and now they’re lock-ing the doors and will try to starve us into submission.”

Canada Post has rejected CUPW’s demands as unafford-able, saying they would add more than $1 billion over the life of a new contract.

Despite any labour disrup-tion, federal government cheques for benefits like Old Age Security, CPP and the Canada Child Benefit will con-tinue to be delivered as they have been deemed essential.

Learn how the food bank works Saturday

SHARE SOCIETY

Want to know how the Share Family and Community Services food bank operates and what’s needed to feed 400 individuals and families each week?

Visits the Remember the Food Bank open house Saturday, July 9 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There will be tours of the food bank facilities, fun activi-ties for kids, Strike Out Hunger Bowling and a by-donation barbecue provided by Save-On Foods (Pinetree Village, Coquitlam).

The Share food bank is lo-cated at 2615 Clarke St. (rear), Port Moody.

It runs year round out of distribution centres in PoMo, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam but food is needed now as shelves are quickly emptying.

In a front-page story in last Friday’s Tri-City News, Share’s director of fund development, Valerie Hutton, said food bank shelves are emptying quickly as canned and dried goods collected during the winter are used to fill hampers for needy families in the Tri-Cities — and 37% of Share’s food bank clients are children under the age of 18.

To fill shelves again, Share is holding a summer food drive with the goal of collecting

10,000 lb. of food and raising $10,000 for the program, which supports approximately 400 families in need each week. There are several ways to help:

• visit www.sharesociety.ca and donate online;

• call Shawna at 604-529-5105 and make a donation over the phone;

• donate food directly to Share’s food bank at 2615 Clarke St. in Port Moody (go to rear of the building);

• drop a food donation off at any local grocery store;

• or host a food drive or fundraiser (you can find out

more at sharesociety.ca/host-a-fundraiser).

As well, watch out for an up-coming grocery store food drive to take place July 16 and 17.

“Most people think about do-nating to the food bank during the Christmas holiday season but the food bank is a year-round operation,” Hutton said. “Come summer, our reserve of food starts to shrink and it is only through the wonderful generosity of the local commu-nity that we are able to restock the shelves and continue to pro-vide food hampers up until the traditional giving season again.”

DIANE STRANDBERGThe Tri-CiTy News

Fewer homes on the market in Metro Vancouver means fewer sales but there is no sign that property values will drop any-time soon, according to the latest Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver statistics (REBGV).

In fact, prices jumped slightly in June from May in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, and given that May was a blistering month for home sales and price hikes, it appears house prices are holding steady.

The real estate market is busy, although not as frantic as it was several months ago in the Tri-Cities. Prices jumped slightly from May of this year to June but sales totals in Metro Vancouver totalled 4,400 in June, an increase of just 0.6% from June 2015 but a drop of 7.7% compared to May of this year, when 4,749 homes sold.

“While we’re starting to see more properties coming onto the market in recent months, the imbalance between supply and demand continues to influ-ence market conditions,” Dan Morrison, the REBGV presi-dent, said in a press release.

According to the latest numbers, property sales in the region totalled 4,400 in June, an increase of just 0.6% from June 2015 but a drop of 7.7% com-pared to May of this year, when 4,749 homes sold.

Still, last month’s sales were 28.1% above the 10-year sales average for the month and rank as the highest selling June on record.

New listings for detached, at-tached and apartment proper-ties in Metro Vancouver totalled 5,875 in June. This represents an increase of 1.2% compared to the 5,803 units listed the pre-vious June but a 6.6% decrease compared to May 2016, when 6,289 properties were listed.

The total number of proper-ties currently listed for sale on Metro’s MLS is 7,812, a 35.9% decline compared to June 2015 (12,181) and a 1.1% increase compared to May 2016 (7,726), suggesting that a few people are looking at high prices received from homes this spring and are taking the plunge but, overall, people are staying put.

The composite benchmark price for all residential proper-ties in Metro Van (including single-family homes, condos

and townhouses) is $917,800, up 32.1% from June 2015.

REBGV numbers show fewer detached home sales in June 2016 (1,562, or an 18.6% decline, compared to the 1,920 detached sales recorded in June 2015). Meanwhile, the bench-mark price for detached prop-erties increased 38.7% from June 2015 to $1,561,500.

Market action is instead in the buying and selling of apart-ment properties, which saw an increase in sales of 18.8% between June this year and June 2015, or 2,108 sales compared

to 1,774. Correspondingly, the benchmark price of an apart-ment property increased 25.3% from June 2015 to $501,100.

Attached property sales in June 2016 totalled 730, an increase of 7.2% compared to the 681 sales in June 2015. The bench mark price of an attached unit increased 28.1% from June 2015 to $656,000.

Patio BBQ, summer songs at ECCMUSIC ON THE GRILL

JANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

Three Juno-nominated and -award-winning acts will fire up Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre this summer for the eighth annual Music on the Grill series.

The first of indoor shows — each of which starts with an alfresco barbecue dinner overlooking Lafarge Lake — launches Saturday with the Marc Atkinson Trio, a gypsy jazz ensemble.

Best known for his work with the folk/roots band The Bills, Atkinson will appear along-side Brett Martens (acoustic rhythm guitar) and Joey Smith (stand up bass) for the July 9

performance. Formed in 2000, the trio has toured internation-ally and played numerous jazz festivals including in Montreal and Vancouver as well as DjangoFest Northwest.

Next up on the platter are The Good Lovelies, who take the stage July 16 (they replace the previously lined-up group, Novel Voz).

Promoting their latest album Burn The Plan, The Good Lovelies are folk/country art-ists Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ought and Sue Passmore.

The trio came together 10 years ago for a Christmas con-cert at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto; a year later, they re-leased their debut EP and, two years after that, a full-length

CD that clinched the 2010 Juno Award for Best Roots and Traditional Album of the Year for a group.

Meanwhile, Jaclyn Guillou serves up a concert on Aug. 13. A Juno nominee for Vocal

Jazz Album of the Year, Guillou has a background in musical theatre, tap dance and opera and, last year, released her fourth album This Bitter Earth, a tribute to her hero, Dinah Washington.

Guillou will perform tunes from that CD at Music on the Grill with her jazz trio plus a string quartet.

David Mann, ECC’s per-forming arts manager who this year was named the BC Touring Council’s Presenter of the Year, said Guillou is a “very special talent. If people aren’t aware of her, now’s the time to get on board.”

Still, Mann said while the series’ programming is top-notch, the opening acts are not to be missed.

West My Friend — an emerging band from Victoria that features Eden Oliver on vocals — will be with Marc Atkinson to launch their new folk album that was recorded at Fiddlehead Studios on Mayne Island and produced by Juno-nominee David Travers-Smith.

For The Good Lovelies show is another Vancouver Island music group, Three Worlds, while local bands Clavinova Nights, the Leo Bae Jazz Quartet and the Audinos have also been given a spot during the series that is sponsored by Greenline Dental.

KEN STEWART/COURTESY OF TURNER ENTERTAINMENTBrickhouse will close the Summer Sunday Concerts series again at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody.

Byrnes, Brickhouse to play 10th year of ‘Sunday’ shows

SUMMER SUNDAY CONCERTS

JANIS WARRENThe Tri-CiTy News

A decade ago, George Balzer and three others stepped into Port Moody city hall to suggest summer programming at the Rocky Point Park stage.

Balzer would run past the platform on his days off and would often see it empty of music or dance.

The first couple of years after they got the okay was difficult with limited sponsor-ship, Balzer remembered, so they hired single and duo acts to fill the venue on Sunday afternoons and to raise money for the Crossroads Hospice Society.

But as the word got out about the free shows, the audi-ences swelled too.

These days, Balzer — with help from Rob Sheridan and Rob Montgomery — books bands that know the Summer Sunday Concerts’ reputation and are eager to play before an outdoor crowd of more than 1,000 party-goers hungry for the blues as well as soul, funk, R&B and reggae tunes.

“It’s been quite a road,” Balzer said on Monday. “It was a lot of work in the beginning

but now it’s grown into some-thing to be proud of.”

This year’s $20,000 bud-get is covered by Pacific Coast Terminals, K+S Potash Canada, TD Bank Group and the Port of Vancouver (with publicity and media sponsor-ship from Flavelle Oceanfront Development and The Tri-City News).

And, like last year, the lineup will include 23 hours worth of music from 16 bands — spread over the July 22 to 24 weekend — for the second annual Port Moody Rotary Ribfest.

On Sunday, the first Summer Sunday Concerts gig will see Mostly Marley hit the PCT Performance Stage. It is followed by:

• July 17: Russell Marsland & The Chosen Few

• July 31: Billy Dixon’s Soul Train Express

• Aug. 7: John Delaney & The Indestructibles

• Aug. 14: R&B Allstars• Aug. 21: Incognito• Aug. 28: Jim Byrnes & The

Sojourners• Sept. 4: BrickhouseBalzer said he had tried to

hire Byrnes three years ago “but, like a lot of bands, some-times it just takes time because of their scheduling.”

As for Brickhouse — led by Rob Bracken on lead vocals and harmonica — Balzer said they’re back by popular de-mand as the closers again. “It’s kind of a tradition that they wrap it up,” he said, noting the band is pushing a new CD this year. “Rocky Point is a great venue and it’s nice for them to play somewhere that’s not a bar or casino.”

Balzer also noted the family-friendly, relaxing concerts have become a tourist destination, with guests from Europe and the United States making plans to pop in to one of the shows this summer.

Village Vibe runs on Saturdays from 2 to 4 p.m. at Leigh Square Community Arts Village (beside PoCo city hall) until Aug. 27 while Music in the Park is in Lions Park (off Shaughnessy Street) on Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m. until Aug. 28.

And on Aug. 19 at 8:45 p.m., also at Gates Park, the J.J. Abrams-directed smash hit Star Wars: The Force Awakens will wrap up the city series.

Dean’s No. 5 will hit the raftersCOQUITLAM LACROSSE

Ceremony will take place ahead of Friday’s gameGARY MCKENNAThe Tri-CiTy News

As a pillar of Coquitlam’s lacrosse community, Geordie Dean is familiar with the con-fines of the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

But after this Friday, the main arena will feel a little more like home as the 55-year-old’s name and No. 5 jersey are raised to the rafters by the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs.

The official ceremony will take place prior to the Jr. A’s last home game of the season, which starts at 7:30 p.m. on July 8, against the New Westminster

Salmonbellies. The matchup is fitting, given that Dean was drafted from the Coquitlam

junior A ranks into the WLA by the Bellies in 1982.

Dean, a Coquitlam Minor

Lacrosse Association product, played 100 games over four seasons with the Jr. Adanacs and was named rookie of the year in 1978 and chosen for the all-star team every season he played.

He ended up recording a total of 378 career points and is still ranked 15th in the B.C. Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse League’s all-time scoring list.

Sadly for Adanacs fans, he was selected by New Westminster during the 1982 draft.

Dean was a powerhouse with the Bellies, playing in 53 Mann Cup games over nine se-ries winning in 1986, 1989 and 1991. His record 67 goals in the Mann Cup series was eventu-ally broken, but his record 94 assists in the Mann Cup still stands today.

As his career wound down, it was no surprise to anyone that Dean received the call to the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. His 2003 induction cemented his position as one of the best two-way players to pick up a stick.

Meanwhile, the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs are looking to close out their season on a winning note.

The club, which is currently 19-0 and firmly in control of first place in the league, has a road game against the Langley Jr. Thunder Thursday night before Friday’s bout with the Salmonbellies at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Face off is at 7:30 p.m. For more information go to www.bcjall.com.


marliNs MAKE $$ iN dash for Cash

Lindsey Cauley topped the competi-tion during the Dash For Cash open race at the PoCo Marlins 46th Annual Invitational Swim Meet last month.

The Marlins’ swim-mer finished with a time of 28.61, taking the top prize of $100 in the event, which features the fastest male and female swimmers. Lucy Davis of the Port Moody Aquarians finished 0.2 seconds behind to take the $50 prize, followed by third place finisher Cassidy Gray of the Coquitlam Sharks, who won $25.

On the men’s side, Ben Nichols of the Marlins took the top prize with a time of 25.47 seconds, while teammate Shawn Sieb finished second and Bryan Yu of the Burnaby Mountain Mantas took third.

Other strong per-formers for the Marlins included Cole Haaksma, Shelby Connelly, Alyssa O’Connor, Gracie Lorenson, Foster Dolling, Trey Schwingenschoegl and Angelo Macaraig.

This year’s invitational featured 400 athletes from clubs across the Lower Mainland as competitors in the B.C. Summer Swimming Association prepare for the provincial champi-onships, which will take place at Coquitlam’s Spani Pool next month.

ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTOThe Coquitlam Reds had a tough weekend, falling behind in the in the B.C. Premier Baseball League standings with a trio of losses. On Saturday, the Langley Blaze defeated the visitors 6-1 and 8-1 during a doubleheader, before Coquitlam followed up with a 6-0 loss against the North Shore Twins Monday night. The Reds are now 16-19 on the season, which is good enough for eighth place, and 5-5 in their last 10 outings. They were expected to play Tuesday night, after The Tri-City News’ deadline, and will be back at home this weekend for meetings against the Blaze on Saturday and the Abbotsford Cardinals on Sunday.

PoMo’s Pietramala signs with SFU Clan

ON THE PITCH

Tri-City players filling up SFU soccer roster

Simon Fraser University’s men’s soccer team has signed Port Moody’s Andre Pietramala to its 2016 recruit-ing class.

The Port Moody secondary alum played the bulk of his youth soccer with Coquitlam Metro-Ford and is transfer-ring to SFU from Capilano University, where he has played for three seasons.

In joining the Clan, the 5’11”, 160-lb. defender is fol-lowing in the footsteps of his father, who also played with SFU.

“Andre brings all kinds of experience and he has the

ability to start for us right away,” said head coach Clint Schneider. “He makes things more competitive defensively within the squad. Our goal was to ensure we had five or six players who could give us minutes defensively and adding Andre to the mix gives us that.”

Pietramala joins a list of this year’s signees that in-clude several other Tri-City athletes.

Last spring, SFU an-nounced it would enlist the services of centre back Lucas McIlveen and wingers Sam Lee and Erik Morden of Coquitlam along with goal-keeper Aidan Bain of Port Coquitlam.

They will join a handful of other new recruits from across the Lower Mainland

and around the world, in-cluding defender Stefan Cuk and midfielder Rahid Rahim of Burnaby, Riley Pang of Richmond, Freddie Gard of Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England.

“We went after quality people, identifying local tal-ent first, who valued an SFU education and the degree they are going to get, and on the football side of things, knew what SFU was about,” Schneider said. “The guys we signed really want to be a part of our program.”

SFU finished with a 10-3-4 overall record in 2015 and was second in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference at 9-2-3. The 2016 season begins next month.


A handful of Terry Fox Ravens football players are in the prairies this week as the under-16 Team B.C. squad com-petes against North Saskatchewan.

Liam Stewart, Mike Evans, Layth Begg, Matthew Hewa Baddage and Jevaun Jacobsen, all Terry Fox Ravens students, are expected to compete in three games over the

next few days. Tom Kudaba, coach of

the Ravens, is serving as coach of the provincial team.
