One man is dead in police standoff in PoCo MARIO BARTEL

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Amelia Norrie and Steph Wagner are ready to welcome visitors to the new weekly Port Moody Night Market they’ve helped organize. The market, featuring local vendors and artisans, live music and food carts, begins Friday in the parking lot of the Port Moody Station Museum next to Rocky Point Park. For more, read story on page 16.

B.C.’s Independent Investigations Office is looking into an incident Sunday evening that left a Port Coquitlam man dead on a driveway after Coquitlam RCMP responded to a call of shots being fired into the air.

And that investigation into how the man died could take up to a year and a half.

Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the BC RCMP said local Mounties arrived at the 2100-block of Audrey Drive in the Mary Hill neighbourhood just after 7 p.m. and secured the area until the Integrated Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team (ERT) could get there.

CHAFER BEETLES

No easy answer, beetle battle continues Coquitlam cemetery among areas hit by chafer bug

GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Groundskeepers and work crews in Coquitlam are busy

gearing up for their annual summer battle against the lawn-destroying chafer beetle.

But city staff acknowledges they are losing ground in the

war against the dreaded insect, which has ravaged parks and green spaces across Metro Vancouver over the last few years.

“There really is no magic bullet,” said Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. “There are some

strategies to strengthen our resources… There are some best practices we are working on.” see 120,000 SQ. M, page 5

PUBLIC TRANSIT

Bus service up & prices are next Frequency is key in changes to TriCity bus routes

SUMMER BUSES TO THE BEACHES Summer bus service to White Pine and Buntzen Lake recreational areas has begun. To White Pine, there’s hourly service from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily through Sept. 4; and on the 179, formerly an extension of the C26, there will be hourly weekend and holiday service between Buntzen Lake and Coquitlam Station from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. starting July 1.

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Tri-City transit users will see more frequent bus service on several routes but they’ll be shelling out slightly more to ride.

The transit service changes announced recently will put much of the Tri-Cities’ northeast region within easy reach of SkyTrain, including Port Coquitlam, because riders will have shorter waits for a connecting bus, even on the weekends.

“I think the key message here is, since we’ve introduced the Evergreen Extension and have been monitoring, we’ve seen ridership increase and we’ve been making improvements to accommodate growing ridership,” said Peter Klitz, senior planner with TransLink.

As many as nine routes are being upgraded, with one of the biggest changes being 15-minute service every day on the 160 Port Coquitlam/ Kootenay Loop, which runs through PoCo, Port Moody and Coquitlam to Kootenay Loop in Vancouver, with stops at Evergreen stations.

It means that for the first time, Shaughnessy Street and downtown PoCo will have 15-minute transit service all day, every day until 9 p.m.

“That’s the point of the frequent transit network,” Klitz said. “We offer a service level

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Tri-City transit users will have a shorter wait between buses on several routes after TransLink boosted service frequency, including for the 160 Port Coquitlam Station/Kootenay Loop. As of Monday, the service, which runs through Port Moody, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam to Vancouver, is running every 15 minutes every day until 9 p.m. that let’s people walk up to the bus stop with the confidence that a bus will be there in short order to pick them up.”

Other routes that will have more frequent bus service include: • 171 Coquitlam Central Station/Fremont: Additional service will run every 15 minutes, up from every 30 minutes, on weekdays from 5:30 to 8:30 a.m.; and from 4 to 7 p.m.,

service will run every five to 25 minutes to meet West Coast Express departures.

• 172 Coquitlam Central Station/Riverside: Will run every 15 minutes, up from every 30 minutes, on weekdays from 5:30 to 8:30 a.m.; and from 4 to 7 p.m., service will run every five to 25 minutes to meet West Coast Express departures.

• 173 Coquitlam Central Station/Cedar: Will run every

10 to 20 minutes, up from every 30 minutes, on weekdays from 5:30 to 8:30 a.m., and from 4 to 7 p.m., service will run every 10 to 30 minutes to meet West Coast Express departures.

• 174 Coquitlam Central Station/Rocklin: Additional service will run every 10 to 20 minutes, up from every 30 minutes, on weekdays from 5:30 to 8:30 a.m., and from 4 to 7 p.m., service will run every 10 to 30

minutes to meet West Coast Express departures.

Other changes will see 20-minute service (up from 30 minutes), on weekdays from 7 to 9 p.m. on the 180 Moody Centre Station/Lougheed Station to service PoMo and Burquitlam, plus more frequent weekend and holiday service on that route.

As well, there will be 15-minute service (up from 20 minutes in morning and afternoon rush hours) in the Panorama and Heritage Mountain neighbourhoods on the 183 Moody Centre Station/Coquitlam Central Station, and additional community shuttles on busy sections of the 186 and 187 routes in the Westwood Plateau area to connect with SkyTrain and West Coast Express.

To help pay for the changes, fares will go up beginning July 1 as the TransLink Mayors’ Council 10-year vision kicks into high gear.

Under the plan, single-use concession fares will increase by five cents and single-use adult fares will increase by 10 cents, including for HandyDART. As well, DayPass fares will increase by 25 cents while regular Compass users will see their monthly pass fares increase by $1 and $2 depend-

ing on zone type.

“To help fund this investment, an increase to fares, an increase in property taxes, and a regional fee on urban development will help support this expansion. Fares have not increased since January 2013 and haven’t kept pace with inflation,” TransLink states on its website.

Klitz explained that the enhancement to Tri-City service will mean commuters can get quicker access to the Evergreen Line with TransLink expecting to see even more ridership.

Some routes have seen daily boardings increases of 11% during the week days and up to 17% on Saturdays and 22% on Sundays.

Klitz speculates that adding weekend SkyTrain service to the mix has been a major driver of transit use because, previously, Tri-City residents only had access to the West Coast Express, which only runs weekdays.

“What we’re seeing now because there’s better access to SkyTrain a lot more rider ship on the weekend,” he said, speculating that people are using rapid transit to get around the region for social engagements as well as work. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

EVERGREEN EFFECTS

Moody Centre to become an urban centre Transit-oriented dev’t. considered for old Port Moody MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

The area around Moody Centre SkyTrain station could become home to more than 3,000 people. But Port Moody council doesn’t want to see them living in 40-storey towers.

Instead, councillors endorsed a plan last week to cap future development in the 20acre neighbourhood that runs from the Evergreen Extension tracks to St. Johns Street, and between Moody and Spring streets, to 26 storeys as part of a mix of residential and commercial buildings.

The plan for the transit-oriented development area would also include a new pedestrian and cycling overpass that connects the neighbourhood to Murray Street and Rocky Point Park at Moody Centre Station as well as a new greenway

CITY OF PORT MOODY ILLUSTRATION

A reference diagram to illustrate the type of density that could be allowed in the Moody Centre now that Port Moody council has endorsed a plan to turn it into a transit-oriented development area. along a daylighted Dallas/ Slaughterhouse Creek.

Mayor Mike Clay said the arrival of Evergreen has given the city an opportunity to create an urban focal point.

“I think there’s a really good opportunity to move this area of the city forward, an area that has been crying out for attention,” Clay said at the June 13 council meeting. “We’re not doing walking tours of the radiator repair district. This is an area where

people want to develop.”

Several councillors cautioned bringing more density to the area by allowing the construction of some 40-storey towers could overwhelm the city, especially when combined with future redevelopment of the nearby Andrés Wines and Flavelle sites as well as the Coronation Park neighbourhood, which is close to the Inlet Centre SkyTrain station.

“We have to keep in mind the

overall impact on the city,” said Coun. Meghan Lahti.

“We have to look at the cumulative impact of all these developments on the community,” said Coun. Rick Glumac.

“How much development is too much?”

“We’re not Burquitlam, we’re not Metrotown, we’re not Brentwood,” said Coun.

Barbara Junker, referring to other town centre areas around SkyTrain stations in Burnaby

and Coquitlam that are burgeoning with new highrise condo towers. “We don’t want to be Brentwood.”

In his presentation to council about the proposed transit-oriented development plan, Port Moody’s senior planner, Alex Taylor, said the area’s current zoning — which allows for the construction of residential development as high as 12 storeys — isn’t economically attractive to developers and wouldn’t create the kind of density to lure commercial development such as grocery stores. As a result, there hasn’t been any redevelopment in the area since 2014.

Currently it’s comprised mostly of commercial shops and light industrial spaces.

Taylor said the construction of higher towers in the area’s core and smaller six-storey residential buildings at the edges would present an opportunity for the city to leverage that new development to create more park space, a promenade along Spring Street, pedestrian walkways and plazas as well as the new pedestrian bridge.

Coun. Diana Dilworth said it could also mean the construction of new rental housing, along with homes for seniors or people who need supportive living. “I think this is a real jewel,” she said. “If we have something similar to Newport Village or Suter Brook next to a SkyTrain station, that’s a good thing.”

Clay compared the potential of Moody Centre to New Westminster, where new developments near three of that city’s SkyTrain stations and the waterfront are revitalizing the historic downtown and Sapperton neighbourhoods.

“We need to concentrate our residential and commercial development on this site,” said Clay. “It’s very successful in other cities.”

With council’s endorsement to proceed, city staff will now begin work to draft an amendment to the area’s official community plan. It could be ready for public hearing in September, with a financial plan in place sometime later in the fall. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

CHAFER BEETLES

120,000 sq. m of green hit by bugs, city staff estimate continued from front page

In 2015, an audit found that 55,000 sq. m (8%) of the 682,000 sq. m of city turf and landscapes had been marred by the chafer beetle — and the birds and raccoons that tear up grass to feast on them — with cases mostly concentrated in the western and central neighbourhoods.

Robinson Memorial Cemetery was particularly hard hit, while Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain were virtually unblemished.

Fast-forward two years and it is clear the chafer is spreading.

In a report to council this week, a “conservative estimate” from parks staff stated that as much as 120,000 sq. m of lawns and green spaces are now damaged, or approximately 18%. Cases are also starting to appear regularly in northeast Coquitlam.

A healthy lawn can be more effective in preventing a chafer infestation and parks staff are working to ensure that city green spaces are adequately maintained, Allueva said. But

SPEAK Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page. all the hard work carried out to defend the turf one summer can be quickly undone the next, he added.

“All efforts can be made to protect the lawn… and the next year it can come back because it spreads from another property,” he said. “But a strong lawn will be more resilient.”

Nematodes are one way of battling the chafer but a city staff report acknowledges something many Tri-City lawn tenders have already learned: The treatments are expensive.

The city said only “the highest value assets, such as the lawn bowing green at Dogwood” will receive nematode treatments, which were effective in 2016.

The city is exploring improved grass seed mixtures that are designed to grow stronger root systems, increasing a lawn’s resilience to chafer damage. An education campaign will also be conducted to inform residents of best lawn practices.

But the city may need to reconsider its landscaping choices in the future, according to the staff report. For example, instead of using grass on city boulevards, the parks and recreation department may look at replacing turf with shrubs and perennials, said the document.

While the outcome of the chafer beetle battle is not yet known, one thing is certain: It will cost taxpayers more.

Staff are currently working with a budget of $150,000 but said they will need $25,000 for additional fertilizer, seeds and soil, and $45,000 for auxiliary labour every spring to supplement existing landscaping staff.

“There’s a need for some enhanced resources to continue to manage this,” Allueva said. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

SFU Pipe Band desperately seeking drums JANIS CLEUGH

ramifications if the instruments are not found in time as the drums are finely tuned; using spare drums brought up from junior bands isn’t an option for

The Tri-CiTy News

Two custom drums owned by a world-class B.C. pipe band were stolen from a car parked overnight Sunday at a home on Port Coquitlam’s northside.

And musicians and staff with the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band say the theft could cause them trouble as they ready for the world championships in Scotland this summer.

The Andante snare drums — as well as two harnesses, soft-shell black cases, a backpack (containing a practice pad and drum sticks) and some personal items — were locked in the trunk of a vehicle belonging to a band member who had competed at Saturday’s BC Highland Games and Scottish Festival at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam.

The band gathered that evening at another drummer’s home, near Terry Fox secondary, to celebrate its win with a barbecue. Afterward, the drummer got a ride home and left his vehicle and its contents in the driveway, where five more cars were parked.

It’s believed his car was broken into between 3:30 and 9:30 a.m.; none of the other cars was touched, homeowner Charlene Wallis told The Tri-City News Monday.

Wallis reported the incident

the Glasgow championships.

“For this to happen, it impacts the whole organization,” he said. “It’s very frustrating.”

• Coquitlam RCMP asks

anyone who finds the drums in person or online to contact police at 604-945-1550, quoting file number CQ2017-18440. jcleugh@tricitynews.com

SUBMITTED PHOTO

The Simon Fraser University is hoping for the return of two drums it will need for the world championships in August in Scotland. to Coquitlam RCMP and, since then, has been scouring the neighbourhood as well as Craigslist and other online sites to see if the SFU-branded gear has turned up and is being illegally sold.

She also has raised the alert with the school and Long & McQuade, which has a store nearby, while the Grade 1 band has posted about the loss on its Facebook page, showing images of the missing drums and equipment.

“Hopefully, this is a hard sell,” Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Mike McLaughlin said, noting, “Typically, these are hard

to trace as they have no serial numbers.

“This is a good reminder that when you leave your car, you take your valuables with you.

Nothing should be inside.”

Rob Watt, a retired Mountie and the SFU pipe band secretary, said the band hopes to recover the specialized drums before it travels to the Kamloops and Skagit Valley competitions in the next few weeks. He said the band also has its eye on reclaiming the world title — an honour it has held six times since 1995 — in Glasgow in August.

Watt said the theft has serious

Coquitlam RCMP and the Emergency Response Team responded to reports of a man with a gun Sunday evening in PoCo’s Mary Hill area. The man died and the cause of death is being investigated.

CRIME

IIO now looking into source of fatal wound continued from front page

Shortly after police arrived, they spotted an armed man outside a house and more shots were fired by the man and by police.

After a standoff that lasted several hours, during which the ERT deployed an armoured personnel carrier and used flash bombs, officers found the body of the man behind a vehicle.

Nobody else was injured in the incident, although one witness said at least one home may have been hit by a bullet.

Photos from the scene posted on social media show

several circles drawn on the pavement outside a home, possibly around shell casings.

A video shot by a neighbour shows a flash explosion followed by heavily-armed police pleading with the man to exit the rear of his residence.

Shoihet said members of the IIO will take over the investigation. They’ll determine if the fatal injuries to the man were self-inflicted or caused by police, and whether police actions at the incident were lawful and reasonable.

Marten Youssef, of the IIO, said one aspect investigators will look into is whether the man may have been trying to

commit suicide by provoking police to shoot him. He said the fact the incident occurred on a weekend evening in a busy neighbourhood means there are plenty of potential witnesses who can help their investigation with independent accounts of what they saw.

Youssef said the investigation could take 14 to 18 months. If it’s determined police acted wrongly, the case is then referred to Crown counsel to decide if charges should be laid.

Witnesses are asked to contact the IIO at 1-855-446-8477. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

Talk and we’ll extend Hoy subsidies: CMHC DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

The clock is ticking for Hoy Creek Housing Co-op residents seeking a last-minute reprieve that would protect their rental subsidies for a year.

And Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam MP Ron McKinnon is stepping into the issue with a meeting planned for next Tuesday.

The federal Liberal MP intends to meet with the board of the Hoy Creek Co-op to hear their side of the issue that has divided residents in the Glen Drive housing complex.

In an interview with The TriCity News last week, McKinnon confirmed that residents would continue to get their subsidies until the end of July and said an extension to March 2018 could be arranged if the board

works with Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) on a new operating agreement.

“The message I would like to get across to the tenants is there is one more month of subsidy coming. They really need to put pressure on their board to co-operate with CMHC,” McKinnon said.

No subsidies could mean big rent hikes continued from page 8

Without the subsidy, 35 residents in the 97 units would pay a lot more — one disabled tenant last week said his $350 rent would go up to $1,100 — which could leave them homeless, and many are anxiously awaiting a resolution to the situation.

At issue appears to be a disagreement between the board and CMHC over who should be responsible for redeveloping the property.

Failing an agreement, the issue has also landed in the courts.

In recent court filings, it was noted that Pricewaterhouse Cooper (PwC) was appointed receiver to oversee the demolition and decontamination of five townhouses burned in a fire; that work is nearly complete. Now, CMHC wants PwC to have its role expanded to include working with CPA Development Consultants to redevelop the site.

In an application to the B.C. Supreme Court on June 14, CMHC stated the co-op “lacks the financial resources to implement and complete the redevelopment process on its own.”

The court has yet to decide on expanding PwC’s powers to

For an opinion on this, read Letters, pg. 13

include planning and redeveloping properties at 2905 Glen Dr. and 1205 Johnson St. But according to the court application, the co-op has been pursuing a redevelopment plan for the property since 2009.

Remus Herman, chair of the volunteer board that the runs the co-op, said the board will provide a statement later this week.

But at least one resident would like the issue to be resolved so residents can continue to get their subsidies.

“What the board thinks and what the people think are two different things,” said Bobbi Style, a 12-year tenant who was born with cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. He would like to see the board concede to CMHC so the operating agreement can be renewed and the subsidies continue.

In a statement, CMHC said it has already spent $2 million on the demolition and to protect the health and safety of the residents. It maintains as well that

it is owed $3.7 million by the co-op, not including the demolition costs.

“The operating agreement between CMHC and Hoy Creek Co-op is scheduled to end on July 1, 2017. CMHC will consider extending the agreement until March 2018, under the condition that the co-op collaborate with the court-appointed receiver in moving forward with a redevelopment of the property,” a media relations officer for CMHC stated in an email to The Tri-City News.

“We would encourage the Hoy Creek Co-op board to consider the extension of our operating agreement so that the tenants can remain in their affordable homes,” the statement

by Audrey-Anne Coulombe added.

Even if the co-op agrees to CMHC’s plan, the subsidies can’t continue beyond March 2018, CMHC says in the court application. But the federal agency maintains that by supporting its redevelopment plan, a second mortgage would be forgiven, it would have access to other federal initiatives and the co-op would be in a better position to preserve affordable housing at the property.

Shocking experience for Port Moody pooch MARIO BARTEL The Tri-CiTy News

A walk in the rain last Thursday evening turned into a shocking experience for Toby the dog.

Toby, an eight-year-old standard poodle, was strolling with his person, Scott Montague, past the entrance to the pool at the Westhill Community Centre when he suddenly became agitated and skittish.

Montague thought his dog had just spotted a snake or some other critter but when they retraced their steps across the concrete pad a short while later, Toby “just went straight up in the air.”

Montague said he had no idea what could have shocked his dog like that other than, well, a shock. So he went to his nearby home and retrieved a volt meter.

Sure enough, part of the concrete pad was charged with an electric current as much as 76 volts. The wet surface conducted the electricity straight into Toby’s bare paws.

“I’m glad he’s a big dog,” said Montague. “If he was a small dog, he probably would have died.”

Concerned that others might be jolted, Montague alerted the city and then Port Moody Police. He also went home, printed off some warning signs and fashioned a barricade with packing tape. “If something happened to somebody, I’d feel horrible,” Montague told The Tri-City News.

Rosemary Lodge, a spokesperson the city, said the area was inspected last Friday morning and the problem traced to a broken wire beneath the pavement that leads to a light fixture on the stairs.

She said by Friday afternoon, it had been fixed.

As for Toby, he got some extra cuddles after his walk and enjoyed the rare treat of being allowed to sleep in his owners’ bed.

It wasn’t the most restful night for Montague, however, as the pooch was “yelping and jerking through the night” as if reliving the shocking experience. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

BC Liberals’ reversal is hard to swallow. Ready for an election?

T his is no time for gloating as the BC Liberals make promises — promises that would have been shocking coming from them even a few months ago — to hike income assistance, ban corporate and union donations, and eliminate the need for a referendum on new transit funding.

Yes, those who have called for each and every one of those things — including John Horgan and the BC NDP, and Andrew Weaver and the Greens — can take some comfort in a contrite Christy Clark making an about-face as she and her party prepare for a rocky ride in NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-630-3300 n

the B.C. legislature.

Does the mea culpa seem insincere? Absolutely, although some will say the BC Liberals learned from their recent election thrashing and are simply following the people’s will.

Whatever your point of view, the fact is that these latebreaking announcements do little to engender confidence in Clark and co. or to ensure the long-term stability of the current B.C. government.

Even if you don’t want another election — and a poll this week says most British Columbians don’t — there is one in the winds, and the BC

TC

Liberals are in the best position to pull off a win because they are still filling their election treasure chest and they have a simple, if tiny, majority of seats and votes on which they can build.

They will be using this opportunity to show that they have listened to voters and are not so skinflint or arrogant as to not make changes to policy when they are necessary.

As people look for who to blame for the situation, it will be tempting to point fingers at all three parties. But it was the BC Liberals who lost the election they should easily have won by ignoring, for years, the

keenly felt concerns of the suburban middle class.

In the background, as well, is uncertainty about the Trans Mountain pipeline and, especially, the Site C dam construction, which is very close to the point of no return. The coming election, if there is indeed one in the near future, will be asking voters to make a choice on those two issues in particular because they seem to be most in jeopardy with an NDP/ Green partnership.

Clark is making a bet that voters will prefer stability and a purportedly kinder, gentler BC Liberal government, leaving GreeNDP twisting in the wind.

The Editor, Re. “Co-op tenants given notice” (The Tri-City News, June 14).

I wish I could say I was surprised by the news of possible astronomical rent increases to residents of the Hoy Creek Housing Co-op. Unfortunately, this has been a common theme in the Lower Mainland.

Rising rents and subsidies slowly withered away by the increased cost of living are putting too many people at risk of losing their homes.

This is too common, it hurts our cities and, worst of all, it is putting people at risk of homelessness.

While we can agree that the Hoy Creek co-op needs to be rebuilt, we must all ask what will replace it? Selling the land to developers so they can profit wildly off expensive condos in exchange for a pitiful number of affordable housing units is not going to alleviate the pressure on people trying to get by.

We must ensure that as Coquitlam continues to grow,

The Editor, Re. “Study of alternate routes to Ioco lands” (The TriCity News, June 16).

To Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay and councillors: I hope residents of Pleasantside are not being pitted against Friends of Bert Flinn Park in the selection of routes to the Ioco lands.

Neither expansion of Ioco Road or driving a four-lane roadway through Bert Flinn park should be on the table.

Ioco Road is narrow and dangerous. Traffic should be reduced on this road — not increased — and any plans to expand Ioco to accommodate development is not conscionable. We have already seen deaths on this road and if you add the anticipated population of the Ioco lands, it will become a death trap.

Too many cars and CO2.

Bobbi Style and other residents of the Hoy Creek Housing Co-op in Coquitlam may have temporary reprieve for planned huge rent increases. it remains a city where people of all incomes, backgrounds and family makeups can come to make their home and have a sense of housing security.

I was happy to learn that a temporary solution has been found for residents of the coop. What was being proposed was cruel and unnecessary.

But a long-term solution must be found. Coquitlam needs more affordable housing options.

Buntzen Lake and its growing number of users. We had looked forward to the summer traffic eventually being diverted to the new access built for Ioco lands. Freeing up the road would calm traffic and allow bicycle paths.

Our hiking group walks up Ioco for our twice-annual trip to the Ioco heritage site, always hoping that a trail would be developed to keep us off the increasingly busy road.

There has been so much attention to Bert Flinn that city councillors who are new to the job might be unaware that Pleasantside exists. Our Pleasantside Community Association had best get active, lest we see an already dangerous road turned into a thoroughfare.

I urge Port Moody council to take Ioco Road off the study of options.

Traffic calming on PoCo’s Cedar Drive JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

A busy Port Coquitlam road that leads to Coquitlam’s evergrowing Burke Mountain is poised for measures to slow down drivers.

Today (Wednesday), PoCo’s transportation solutions and public works committee is to discuss plans to add $101,000 worth of traffic calming along Cedar Drive. Proposed steps include: • a raised crosswalk at the north end by the Traboulay PoCo Trail; • a sidewalk from Essex Avenue to the trail; • a chicane and curb bulge at Pinemount Avenue; • and a chicane and curb bulge at Essex Avenue.

The proposed changes, about which area residents will be polled by letter this sum-

mer, come after complaints about speeding cars and pedestrian/cyclist safety along the corridor.

“Cedar Drive is one of the streets that comes up continuously,” Kristen Meersman, PoCo’s director of engineering and public works, told The TriCity News Monday.

Besides the Traboulay PoCo Trail, which forms part of the Trans-Canada Trail, the established neighbourhood also has Sun Valley and Evergreen parks. It is close to schools (Cedar Drive and Leigh elementary, plus Minnekhada middle) and the Hyde Creek recreation centre.

Meersman said the cost of the collector road work is in this year’s budget: $50,000 from the city’s traffic calming program and $21,000 from its sidewalk program.

The remaining $30,000 will

come from ICBC’s Road Improvement Program and includes road markings and signs.

Design is expected to be carried out this year, with construction likely starting in 2018, Meersman said.

Meanwhile, also at Wednesday’s meeting, the committee is due to review new traffic calming guidelines for the city, as requested by Mayor Greg Moore and council last fall.

Currently, PoCo has a pilot project with ICBC for traffic calming on Nova Scotia Avenue. Another two programs are planned this year for Riverwood Gate, near Terry Fox secondary school, and for Apel Drive, between Coast Meridian Road and Victoria Drive. jcleugh@tricitynews.com @jcleughTC

The organizers of the new Market at Brewers Row — Kora Pridy, Karolina Jasinski, Steph Wagner and Amelia Norrie — say the time is right for a night market in Port Moody.

Night market to light up PM Brewers Row beginning Friday Vendors, artisans setting up shop near breweries MARIO BARTEL

The Tri-CiTy News

The organizers of a new night market in Port Moody are hoping the event will bring a festive vibe to summer Friday evenings in the area around Rocky Point Park.

Amelia Norrie and Steph Wagner, who run the online clothing retailer Violet + Ruby, have teamed up with fellow clothiers Kora Pridy and Karolina Jasinski to curate local vendors, artisans and food trucks that will offer their wares at the Market at Brewer’s Row (of which The Tri-City News is a sponsor). It will be held in the parking lot at the PoMo Station Museum beginning this Friday from 6 to 10 p.m. and run on Friday nights through Aug. 11 (except June 30, to make way

Wagner said the night market shopping experience beats battling crowds at the mall.

“It’s more of a destination experience,” she said. “People want something different.”

For the first market, the organizers have lined up vendors in addition to their own clothing boutiques; among them are Sparrow Tees, Aroma Lux Designs, Little Crow Collective and Sweetlegs with Pippin. Big Red’s Poutine is the featured food truck this week. A complete list, as well as updates as new vendors are added, is available on the website www. marketatbrewersrow.com.

The market’s proximity to the Moody Centre SkyTrain station and its connecting buses also makes it easy for visitors to haul their shopping finds home in time to put the kids to bed at a decent hour, said Norrie.

“Then they don’t have to worry about parking,” she said.

for Golden Spike Days).

Wagner says Port Moody is ready for a night market.

“There’s just such a great vibe here,” she said.

And placing the market at the museum puts it perfectly between the craft breweries along Murray Street and Rocky Point, which are already hubs of activity on warm summer evenings.

“This has amazing potential,” said Norrie, who’s hoping visitors will make the market part of a stroll that takes in some of the best the city has to offer.

That means they’ll have to be on their “A” game, with a varying lineup of vendors and food trucks to keep the market fresh every week, said Wagner.

“There’s always going to be something new.”

A long table beneath strings of lights will be the centrepiece of the market, where visitors can sit down and eat their orders from the food trucks, enjoy the live music provided by local entertainers or just hang out.

City of Coquitlam

Notice of Public Hearing Notice is hereby given that the City of Coquitlam will be holding a Public Hearing to receive representations from all persons who deem it in their interest to address Council regarding the following proposed bylaws. This meeting will be held on:

Date: Time: Location:

Monday, June 26, 2017 7:00 p.m.

City Hall Council Chambers, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC V3B 7N2

Immediately following the adjournment of the Public Hearing, Council will convene a Regular Council Meeting during which it will give consideration to the items on the Public Hearing agenda.

Item 1 Text Amendment to Revise the Parking Requirements for Ground-Oriented Multi-Family Housing and Secondary Suites in Single Family Housing *Note – While this item was originally considered at the Public Hearing held on May 15, 2017, the opportunity for public input on this item will continue at the Public Hearing scheduled for June 26, 2017.

The intent of Bylaw 4764, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to revise the parking requirements for Ground-Oriented Multi-Family Housing and Secondary Suites in Single Family Housing.

If approved, the text amendment would facilitate the following revisions: • Require two resident parking spaces per unit in all ground-oriented multi-family housing developments, with the exception of those in Transit-Oriented Development areas; • Allow a maximum of 33% of the parking spaces in ground-oriented multi-family housing developments to be in tandem; • Require that a parking space for a secondary suite in a single-family house not obstruct a parking space for the principal dwelling (i.e. not be provided in tandem); and • Increase the minimum lot width of a front-loaded RS-7 and RS-8 lot from 12 metres (40 feet) to 12.8 metres (42 feet). The minimum lot width of a rear-loaded RS-8 lot would remain at 12 metres (40 feet).

Item 2 Addresses: 1311 Hachey Avenue and 325 Millview Street The intent of Bylaw 4772, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject properties outlined in black on the map marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw 4772, 2017 from RS-1 One-Family Residential and RM-2 Three Storey Medium Density Apartment Residential to RT-3 Triplex and Quadruplex Residential.

The intent of Bylaw 4771, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to facilitate two site-specific amendments to the RT-3 zone for the subject property. The first proposed text amendment will amend the Permitted Uses in the RT-3 zone in order to increase the number of permitted units on one lot from 4 dwelling units to a maximum of 8 dwelling units. The second proposed text amendment would amend the Density Provisions of the RT-3 zone in order to increase the floor area from 0.75 times the lot area to 0.8 times the lot area.

If approved, the RT-3 zone and proposed text amendments would facilitate the construction of two quadruplex developments, containing a maximum of 8 dwelling units, in the form of four detached units and four units within two duplex buildings on one lot.

Item 3 Address: 912 Stewart Avenue The intent of Bylaw 4765, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to rezone the subject property outlined in black on the map marked Schedule ‘A’ to Bylaw 4765, 2017 from RS-1 One-Family Residential to RT-1 TwoFamily Residential.

If approved, the RT-1 zone would facilitate a two lot subdivision of the existing lot and the construction of a single-family dwelling, with the potential for a carriage house, on each of the resulting lots.

Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan (BLNP)

The intent of Bylaw 4754, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Citywide Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3479, 2001 by replacing the existing Burquitlam Neighbourhood Plan and Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan with the proposed Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan, as well as make related amendments to the Southwest Coquitlam Area Plan and Development Permit Area Guidelines.

The intent of Bylaw 4753, 2017 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to help implement the vision of the BLNP through housekeeping text amendments which will improve the overall clarity and administration of the BLNP. If approved, the text amendment would facilitate the following revisions: • Update the C-5 zone to provide appropriate height and density for the Lougheed Boulevard area between Alderson and Guilby; • Increase the height limit in the RT-2 Townhouse zone to 3-storeys in Transitoriented areas; and • Amend Schedule ‘0’ to revise the ‘Core’ and ‘Shoulder’ boundary to include all the areas of higher-density in the BLNP. If approved, the proposed Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan will guide the potential growth of 9,000 – 10,000 additional new dwelling units within the Burquitlam and Lougheed neighbourhoods over the next 20-25 years. The proposed BLNP envisions that the Burquitlam and Lougheed areas will become complete transit-oriented neighbourhoods that offer a range of housing types in close proximity to shopping, employment and amenities.

A GOOD READ TERESA REHMAN “All that we are is story. From the moment we are born to the time we continue on our spirit journey, we are involved in the creation of the story of our time here. It is what we arrive with. It is all we leave behind...

What comes to matter then is the creation of the best possible story we can while we’re here; you, me, us, together. When we can do that and we take the time to share those stories with each other, we get bigger inside, we see each other, we recognize our kinship — we change the world, one story at a time.”

– the late Ojibway author Richard Wagamese

T

he Tri-Cities’ third biannual All Nations Festival (June 17 to 21) is an opportune time to highlight our Indigenous authors. Historical, social and cultural documentation in fiction leaves a more powerful and lasting effect on us than information gleaned in a book of facts. Personal stories, told in fiction, allow the author to weave in emotions that strike at the core of the heart.

Richard Wagamese was one of Canada’s foremost writers, with numerous awards to his name. He was a newspaper columnist and reporter, radio and television broadcaster, documentary producer and author of several Canadian bestsellers: Medicine Walk, Dream Wheels, Indian Horse, Keeper ’n Me, Ragged Company, One Story, One Song and Speaking my Truth: Reflections on Reconciliation and Residential School. Medicine Walk, set in the rugged and beautiful backcountry of the B.C. Interior, is a story about a father and son that is both heartbreaking and redemptive. The father, Eldon, is not a good father. He is an alcoholic and suffers from problems which are clearly a fallout from the residential school system. Eldon, his son, is brought

up by a man to look after his farm. At 16, the son is reunited with the father, who has been decimated from years of drinking. A dutiful son, he takes his father on a traditional, spiritual and healing journey. This is the Medicine Walk, during which, through a series of flashbacks, you learn about the boy’s relationship with his father.

Lee Maracle is a Sto:lo First Nation grandmother of four and mother of four who was born in North Vancouver. A gifted and award-winning author and teacher who has written a number of poetry works and has been published in dozens of anthologies in Canada and the U.S. Daughters are Forever, Sojourner’s Truth and Other Stories, and First Wives Club: Coast Salish Style are also powerful reads.

Robert Arthur Alexie is a Teetl’it Gwich’in born and raised in Fort McPherson, N.W.T. Porcupines and China Dolls, his first novel, is set in the harsh but beautiful landscape of the far north. James Nathan and Jake Noland return from residential schools hiding a secret that will tear their lives apart. At the same time, Louise Williams returns from the school and finds she no longer fits in her community. James and Jake, their hair spiky short, resemble porcupines; Louise, face whitened by powder, bangs cut short , looks like a china doll. They are no longer inno-

cents schooled in the ways of their people — they are caught in limbo, neither Indian nor white, stripped off their identity.

Eden Robinson is a First Nations writer who grew up in Haisla territory near Kitimat and published her first book in 1996, a collection of stories called Traplines. Monkey Beach is her first novel. On a peaceful shore of the Douglas Channel lies the remote Haisla community of Kitimat. Seventeen-yearold Jimmy Hill, ambitious and handsome, is the pride of the village and an Olympic hopeful.

Despite being sought after by the local boy-chasers, Jimmy shows little interest in courtship — until he falls in love with Karaoke, tough as nails and the village beauty. But their young romance is cut short by the news of a horrifying accident at sea and Jimmy’s mysterious disappearance. Blood Sports and Son of a Trickster are also riveting and compelling reads

by Robinson.

What I found most common among these books is that our Indigenous writers focus on the struggles of the young.

Addressing them in fiction is one way of coming to terms with personal struggles, pain and suffering. These and more stories by First Nations authors can be found at your library.

50-PLUS RECREATION

Not just any club, The Club is a spot for fun and camaraderie in PoMo Aim of PoMo 50plus centre is to reduce isolation

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

T

he Club isn’t exactly the bar in the old TV sitcom Cheers. But the Port Moody space for adults 50 and older has the same comfy, familiar vibe thanks to cozy furniture, affordable food and affable seniors who greet one another by name, warmly and with affection.

OK, perhaps, there is a bit of teasing when Fred Soofi, responsible for bringing the burgers to the barbecue for a spring feast on the new patio, is chided in jest that the lowly hot dog, not just his own hand-formed burgers, will be on the menu.

Meanwhile, Wayne Borthwick gives Gerry Nuttall a tip on folding his collar outside his shirt before a photo shoot and there is generally a celebratory air about the place that has only been open in Port Moody since last fall.

Couples and singles wander in, greet one another, and if The Club isn’t a second home for many Port Moody residents living in the Inlet Centre area, it should be.

“The idea is we want this to be a fun place,” said Nuttall, who was one of the founding members of the Port Moody Seniors Friendship Society.

People are encouraged to participate by volunteering or suggesting activities, and there is a large variety of events people can attend, no matter what their income, mobility level or interest.

“People are often isolated and the idea is to bring them back to

From left: Gerry Nuttall, Wayne Borthwick and Fred Soofi get ready for a barbecue on the patio at The Club. The three are co-founders of the Port Moody Seniors Friendship Society, along with Ann Kitching, who passed away in December.

the community,” Nuttall said.

Indeed, it appears the philosophy has paid off with more than 100 members since the club opened last year with support from Metro Vancouver, which allows the use of what was once a dining room at the Alex Graham Manor (the enhance is beside the door to Crossroads Hospice) rent free, and $28,000 in start-up funds from the city Port Moody and $35,000 in annual operating grants.

Recently, the society received a $10,000 provincial grant to upgrade the patio, resulting in an outdoor space decked out in planters and red and white in time for Canada Day. “This wasn’t a very usable space before,” Nuttall said, but now the patio looks like an urban getaway, with red blankets slung over chairs in case a visitor gets cold.

There are card tournaments, trivia nights and day trips.

What’s more, you can get coffee for $1 and a refill for free.

All good reasons to raise a cup and say, “Cheers.”

A BREAST MAMMOGRAM TODAY CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE TOMORROW Many women wait until they have a medical concern before talking to their doctor about breast cancer screening. By then, their health may already be at risk. Getting a mammogram before there is a problem is the best way to protect yourself.

The B.C. Cancer Agency recommends that women who are between the ages of 40 and 74 have mammograms every two years. Those with first-degree relatives – mothers, father, sisters, brothers, daughters or sons – with breast cancer should be screened annually.

Mammograms are x-rays of the breasts that are done in complete privacy by a specially-trained female technologist. It only takes five or 10 minutes, and after your first, the B.C. Cancer Agency sends reminders before your next one is due.

MedRay offers full field digital mammography through its Screening Mammography Program of British Columbia. MedRay also does diagnostic mammography and breast ultrasounds for patient who are symptomatic.

Approximately one out of nine women will develop breast cancer. Finding cancer early means that it is less likely to have spread and treatment can be started earlier in the course of the disease. Early detection allows for more treatment options and a better ability to recover.

Book your screening mammography today by calling MedRay at 604-927-2130, or visit our website at www.medrayimaging.com for more information.

Mammograms Save Lives One in Nine Canadian women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime and one in 28 is expected to die from the disease. Finding cancer early means it is less likely to spread and treatment can be started earlier.

Mammograms are Effective Research has shown a 25% reduction in deaths from breast cancer among women who screen regularly.Mammograms can usually find lumps two or three years before a woman or doctor can feel them.

MedRay’s Screening Mammography Program is located at 102-3001 Gordon Ave. in Coquitlam.

TAKE ACTION If you’re over 40 and you’ve never had a Screening Mammogram, or it’s been awhile since your last exam, then call and book your appointment today.

If you want to get an idea of how boys and men lived in Maillardville a century ago, step inside one of Coquitlam's oldest homes.

Until Oct. 7, the Coquitlam Heritage Society will host an exhibit called A Man's World: 1900-1920, at Mackin House Museum — a display that offers local artifacts and imagines what it was like to reside in a sawmill town that was filled with French-Canadians, and Indo- and Asian-Canadians through the First World War and Prohibition.

The historical exhibit — designed by program manager Stefani Klaric, museum manager Jasmine Moore and society executive director Candrina Bailey — follows a showcase from earlier this year on women's lives during the same period, Moore said.

For this event, which opened June 6, the parlour in the Edwardian-built home has World War I pieces donated from the Canadian Military Education Centre Museum and from military historian Carey Price, a peacekeeper and medic. There is a metal helmet used in the Battle of the Somme, newspapers, a rum ration jug and a photo of an Asian solider, who likely would have returned home to Canada to face racial discrimination despite being a war hero.

In the kitchen are examples of how men got by without a wife (at the time, a good percentage of men were single as B.C. was rural and many were immigrants who were banned from bringing their families over to Canada). And with the Prohibition came law and order — shown in the exhibit with a black wooden baton used by Maillardville's police chief Emery Paré.

The alcohol ban was especially gruelling for the Maillardville men who had come from Quebec where the Prohibition was not in effect.

Upstairs, the domestic lives of four fictional males unfold.

Coquitlam, Chapter 2 JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

An “atmospheric” art exhibit that delves into a story about Coquitlam’s past added another layer last week with more text and artifacts.

In the exhibit’s second chapter, Coquitlam, Canada — as the display at the Evergreen Cultural Centre is called — reveals a new dimension on the city’s first, second and third growth since Canada turned 100, in 1967.

Curator Gregory Elgstrand, the centre’s visual arts manager and a Coquitlam native, shows fragments that shaped the municipality as seen through the eyes of the fictional character “C.” “C” wades into the exhibit time warp with a 1971 BC Centennial stamp as well as a mixed media piece from Karin Bubas called Sculpted Log, in recognition of the secondgrowth forest at Mundy Park.

As well, “C” scans copies of newspaper articles: the 1979 ribbon-cutting ceremony by then-mayor Jim Tonn to open

Coquitlam Centre — where the focus of the city has now shifted — and the 2001 closure of Fraser Mills, once the biggest sawmill in the Commonwealth that spurred the development of Coquitlam.

“C” also sees an enlarged copy of a newspaper ad to market The Frontenac, which at the time it opened in 1991, was the tallest residential tower in Coquitlam at 12 storeys. Its salmon-coloured exterior and blue roof clashed with the surrounding natural landscape and the brick-clad mall, which a decade earlier had won an architectural award from the Governor-General of Canada.

But as “C” questions the city’s past, he/she is also wondering about the future with its urban sprawl.

With The Frontenac opening, the city’s French-Canadian

history is also carried over into City Centre with its name and design style.

Coquitlam “doesn’t so much progress as much as it endeavours to reproduce itself,” Elgstrand writes in his exhibit notes. “It doesn’t reproduce whole by chunking out new versions of itself over and over but rather reproduces bits and pieces.”

This is also the time when “C” realizes how much — or little — time has passed in his/ her hometown.

Meanwhile, for Chapters 3 and 4 of the show, which will be uncovered this summer to coincide with Canada 150, Elgstrand said he’ll include more news highlights that put Coquitlam on the map as well as unveil the impact of Riverview Hospital had on the community since Canada’s centennial.

CIVIC POLICY

Cultural roundtable is paying off for city, artists and groups JANIS CLEUGH The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam’s cultural roundtable is making the links it was designed to do, says the city’s manager of cultural development and community services.

Carrie Nimmo told The Tri-City News on Monday that more than 50 arts and cultural leaders are signed up to be part of the monthly gatherings.

And last Thursday, they talked about the city’s Canada 150 party on Aug. 26 and got a sneak peek from a festival performer: dancer Julie Lebel.

“It’s not a dry meeting,” Nimmo said. “There’s lots of excitement about what’s happening around Port Coquitlam for the summer and beyond.”

The diverse representation on the roundtable includes writers, artists, musicians and Tri-City-based organizations invested in the arts scene.

Nimmo said they are offering suggestions to the city about how to move forward as well as learning about what the municipality has in the works.

In turn, they are offering their services and programs and connecting with others at the table — some of whom have not been present in the past such as the Kwikwetlem First Nations (the band members will have a canoe display and tell stories during the Canada 150 festival in downtown PoCo).

“The feedback does make a difference,” Nimmo said.

As well, the roundtable is

also giving artists and nonprofits a heads-up about opportunities to apply for grants, she said. Soon, it will hear about the city efforts to develop an event toolkit so that organizations can put together special events easily.

The roundtable is a result of the city’s Imagine Port Coquitlam Cultural Plan, a blueprint for the arts and culture over the next 10 years; it was adopted by city council last spring.

• Port Coquitlam’s next cultural roundtable is on July 20 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Michael Wright Art Gallery in the Gathering Place (200-2253 Leigh Sq.). To join the city’s roundtable, email nimmoc@ portcoquitlam.ca.

At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available.

The latest digital hearing aid technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers–hearing well in noisy environments.

Nobody will notice it because of its minute size, fitting snugly and comfortably just behind your ear.

Everything works automatically.

There are no controls to worry about and adjustments are easy to make– even from your smart phone. So you can get back to enjoying your relationships, rather than thinking about your hearing.

Because these new hearing aids collect and digitally processes natural, 360 degree sound thousands of times per second, they have been shown to reduce the strain that ef-

fortful-listening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact, these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-the-line hearing aids.

Hearing professionals are celebrating the biggest advancement in 30 years of fitting hearing aids and patients credit it with providing a substantial improvement in their ability to communicate in large groups and noisy social settings.

A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

Now providing FREE, no obligation hearing tests!

Goalie Rick Mang started his Western Lacrosse Association career with the Coquitlam Adanacs, but it was with the New Westminster Salmonbellies he hit his stride. He helped them win a Mann Cup and in November he’ll be inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

JENNIFER GAUTHIER NEW WEST RECORD

CANADIAN LACROSSE HALL OF FAME

Mang among men enters hall of fame Goalie headed west and made Tri-Cities home MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A bike ride up Blue Mountain Road changed Rick Mang’s life.

The young Coquitlam Adanacs’ goaltender from Ontario was unwinding on his 10-speed in his shorts, in the warm fall sunshine. If he were still in Ontario, he’d already be wearing a parka.

That’s when Mang decided his taste of lacrosse on the West Coast would become a full meal deal and he sublet his

apartment back east.

In November, Mang, the most successful goalie in the Western Lacrosse Association, will be one of eight new inductees for 2017 to the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

Mang, now a resident of Port Coquitlam, played 12 seasons in the WLA, the first three with the Adanacs and the balance with the New Westminster Salmonbellies. He won the Mann Cup with the Bellies in 1991 and again during a brief return to Brampton in 1998.

His 81.35% save percentage still ranks him the best amongst all WLA goalies who’ve played more than 100 games.

Mang said he was taken aback when he learned of his latest honour.

LAX HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2017 Other 2017 inductees include: Ken Colley (player); Pat Coyle (player); Cinton Magee (player); Don Craggs (veteran); Bob Cleverly (builder); Jim Cain (builder); Peterborough Maulers 1986-’89 (team).

“I never saw it coming,” he said. “It’s been quite a week.”

Mang said he was “just a cocky, arrogant rookie from back east” when he landed with the Adanacs after leading his Peterborough Lansdown Maulers to the Minto Cup Junior A lacrosse championship in 1986 over the Esquimalt Legion who had the renowned Gait brothers, Gary and Paul, on its roster. But it was in New Westminster his career really

blossomed.

“It took me playing in New West to shut me up,” said Mang. “There were a lot of men on that team, family men who just took care of business.”

Five of those men, Andy Ogilvie, Geordie Dean, Eric Cowieson, Ben Hieltjes and Todd Lorenz, preceded Mang into the Hall, which is located in New Westminster.

“Everybody wanted to go play in New West,” said Mang.

“They knew it meant you might win a Mann Cup.” Mang said his move west didn’t come without some adjustments. The game in Ontario was faster, players had softer hands to make and distribute passes, while western lacrosse relied more on tactics, positioning and aggression.

He also had the good fortune to play in two of the most incendiary lacrosse hotbeds in the country, Peterborough and New West, where the game mattered a lot to local fans and the media. That’s not so much the case anymore as it competes with higherprofile sports that can promise wealth and fame to the very few kids good enough to make

it to the top.

“Back in the day, lacrosse was the only game in town,” said Mang. “There’s so much other stuff to do nowadays.”

Still, Mang’s passion for lacrosse hasn’t diminished.

He’s coaching a Senior C team as well as his daughter’s junior team in Port Coquitlam. And he’s proudly grooming his four-year-old grandson, Jacob, to carry the family’s lacrosse heritage into the next generation of players.

“It’s always been about lacrosse,” said Mang, who will be inducted to the hall, which is located at the Anvil Centre in New Westminster on Nov. 18. mbartel@tricitynews.com @mbartelTC

TRACK AND FIELD

Double dose of De Grasse speeding to Jerome Classic Wind helps sprinter stun Stockholm

ers Shai-Anne Davis and Ella Nelson. High jumper Alyx Treasure, who’s from Prince George, will also compete, fresh off a silver medal at a major meet in Huelva, Spain.

But unless you’ve already got a ticket, you won’t be able to see them. Organizers announced last Wednesday the event is sold out and no more tickets will be sold at the door.

Doug Clement, the chair of the Achilles Track and Field Society that organizes the Jerome meet, said the early sellout in its new home is a reflection of the excitement for the growing stature of Canadian athletes in international track and field.

“Over the last three to four years, we’ve gained a prominence in world-ranking lists which have not been matched ever,” said Clement. “Leading athletes and our [medal-winning] relay teams, people do know them.”

Competition at the Jerome starts at 6:20 p.m. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and seats in the grandstand are available on a first-come basis. There will be standing room areas around the track.

The meet will also be webcast live at athleticscanada.tv

after winning the 100m in Oslo three days earlier and a gold in the 200m in Rome on June 8.

“It was a shock to me when I saw the time on the board,” he said in a report on the Internanational Association of Athletics Federations’ website.

“I’m just looking forward to running that fast legally.”

He’ll have that chance next Wednesday on a track that’s got a reputation for producing fast times, with a little assistance from a prevailing wind that often comes out of the northeast, behind the sprinters heading down its front straight. As long as it’s not too strong.

De Grasse will be pushed by a strong field that includes Jamaican Jerome Blake, who now lives and trains in Kelowna and won the 100m at the 2104 BC High School championship, along with African 100m and 200m champion Wilfried Koffi, of Cote D’Ivoire.

Other top athletes confirmed for the meet include Canadian middle distance runners Melissa Bishop and Sasha Gollish, decathlete Damian Warner, javelin thrower Liz Gleadle, who won a gold medal for Canada at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto, and female sprint-

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Canadian Olympic sprinter Andre De Grasse is speeding to the Harry Jerome Track Classic next Wednesday at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam.

De Grasse, who announced Monday he’ll also contest the 200m at the Jerome, ran the third-fastest 100m ever recorded Sunday in Stockholm, Sweden, at the Diamond League meet. It was his last competition before the games.

But his 9.69 time won’t be officially recorded. That’s because it was assisted by a 4.8 metres/second tailwind, well above the allowable limit of 2.00 m/s. De Grasse’s best time without wind assistance is 9.91. The Canadian record is 9.84, set by Donovan Bailey at the 1996 Olympics and Bruny Surin at the 1999 World Championships.
