Hot, dry & risky Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

Jonathan Adams is a veteran of the Ride to Conquer Cancer. And this year, his fundraising efforts are aided by two young neighbours from his Port Coquitlam townhouse complex: sisters Aydenne and Kendra Johnson. To find out how they used their birthdays for a good cause, see story on page 7.

It’s hot out there — and TriCities officials want to make sure it doesn’t get hotter.

All three cities have issued notices advising residents to take precautions as the fire risk rises due to dry conditions.

With recent heat and the lack of moisture, Coquitlam is calling on its residents to stick to the city’s bylaws that ban outdoor burning, smoking in parks and throwing away cigarette butts.

Port Coquitlam has banned smoking and open-air burning from all of its parks, trails and natural areas effective immediately.

Fire chiefs Jim Ogloff of Coquitlam and Ron Coulson of Port Moody said their departments get their hazard indications from Metro Vancouver’s weather stations. Ogloff said the Coquitlam watershed’s metrics show the risk has been moderate to high the last couple of weeks.

“Now we’re in high [rating] and I think we’ll remain in that for the rest of the week, next week and beyond,” Ogloff told The Tri-City News. “As temperatures rise we do get more of the cedar shrub type of fires and dry grass on boulevard fires.” see BURNING BANS

TRI-CITY SCHOOLS

As school comes down, memories are bubbling up The buildings came crashing down and the memories came flooding out.

The former Terry Fox secondary school on Wellington Street in Port Coquitlam — most recently known as l’École des Pionniers de Maillardville — was bulldozed Monday.

It was built in the 1950s and named Port Coquitlam senior secondary. Hometown hero Terry Fox graduated from there in 1976 and it was renamed for him in 1986.

Terry Fox secondary relocated to its present premises on Riverwood Gate in 1999 and the old buildings became l’École des Pionniers, a French-first, kindergarten to Grade 12 school run by the Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique.

Construction of a $25-million replacement for that school on the same grounds has been completed and demolition

of the old buildings began Monday.

The Tri-City News posted pictures of the demolition on its Facebook page and the comments quickly came flowing in, including: • “My High School and where I made great friends and help mold my future. It’s just a building but housed amazing teachers.” (Sean Murphy); • “If those walls could talk…”

(Diane Edgar); • “My last year was the last Grade 9 class to make it to that school. We are sure a lucky group to be able to say we went to that school.” (Marlene Shields); • “Lots of great memories watching senior boys’ basketball, high school plays. Thanks for the memories.” (Dave Hawthorne); • “Oh my, end of an era, so many memories.” (Clint Hicks). newsroom@tricitynews.com

Dockless bike share heading to PoCo The Tri-CiTy News

Bike sharing could hit the streets of Port Coquitlam as early as next month.

The company pitching a pilot program to PoCo is U-bicycle North America, a Vancouverbased business run by a group of women who graduated from Simon Fraser University. The plan proposes 58 bicycles stationed at 13 locations in PoCo — and U-bicycle has offered to provide the service at no cost.

“I’m pretty excited about it. The ability to have options for our residents for different modes of transportation at what looks like a pretty reasonable price looks worthwhile doing,” said Coun. Darrell Penner, chair of the city’s transportation committee, which on Wednesday

U-bicycle North America is planning to launch its dockless bikerental service in Port Coquitlam as early as next month. approved recommending the pilot to city council.

Penner said although a start date is up to the company, it

is expected to be begin next month. The preferred way to go, said a staff report to the committee, is a virtual dock system,

which uses designated drop-off zones and smartphones to lock and unlock bikes. That keeps everything organized without needing an expensive docking station, said the report, whose lead author was Melony Burton, the city’s manager of infrastructure planning.

“This is probably the smallest footprint you can have. It’s not going to impact parking in the community. We’re not having to sacrifice anything to have this,” said Penner.

A dock-based system, like Mobi in Vancouver and those in cities around the world, would have physical structures to which the bikes are secured. But those stations are expensive and take up parking or public space, said the report. Dockless and virtual dock systems have bicycles with a rear-wheel lock. The

technology to locate and unlock is on the bicycle, GPS devices prevent theft and help the company locate and redistribute the bikes according to demand, according to the report.

A totally dockless system doesn’t restrict users on where they can pick up or drop off the bikes. When they want a bike, the app lets them find the nearest one, unlock it and then lock it up again when they get to their destination. While the most flexible, said the report, that system can lead to bikes not being left in bike racks or at designated stations. Tracking down wayward bikes can also be labour intensive.

The bicycles come equipped with a basket, a headlight, helmet, water bottle holder, bell and built-in smart lock. The proposed cost is $99 for an an-

nual pass (plus a $50 refundable damage deposit), $6 a day or $1 for 30 minutes.

The proposed bicycle locations are: • City hall/Leigh Square (four bikes); • West Coast Express station (six); • PoCo rec complex (six); • Terry Fox Library (six); • Gates Park (four); • Lions Park (six); • Traboulay PoCo Trail at McAllister and Maple (two); • Shaughnessy Station Mall, (eight); • Dominion Triangle, west of Ottawa Street (four) and east of Ottawa (four); • Prairie Avenue at Coast Meridian (four); • and Hyde Creek rec centre (four). newsroom@tricitynews.com

Stung, then rescued Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Two people had to be rescued by helicopter Saturday from the Diez Vista Trail near Buntzen Lake after suffering allergic reactions to wasp stings.

Michael Coyle, the search manager with Coquitlam Search and Rescue, said the team was initially called out for a woman whose reaction was so severe she broke into hives and swelling, and was having difficulty breathing.

“She had symptoms of a major systemic reaction,” he said.

The first searchers on the scene were able to give her some Benadryl, which helps alleviate some of the issues caused by wasp stings. A longline rescue was used to pull her and her mother out of the area to a nearby field, where BC Ambulance paramedics were waiting.

The helicopter was sent back to the trail again when a second member of their sixperson hiking team was also stung and showing signs of an allergic reaction.

While Coquitlam SAR emphasizes preparedness in the back country, Coyle said Sunday’s incident highlights how difficult it can be for hikers to be ready for every situation.

“It is very hard to prepare,” he said. “Anybody can have an

The patrol that refreshes for PM police Parents, call the cops on your lemonade-selling kids

BACK TO THE BEACH & BEAR AWARE

Mario BarTel

The Tri-CiTy News

Jason Maschke loves lemonade.

He loves it so much, he keeps a bottle of concentrate in his desk at the Port Moody Police Department, where he’s a community relations officer, so he can quickly mix up a batch whenever thirst hits.

But making a pitcher of lemonade isn’t easy when you’re driving around in a patrol car on a hot day with the window rolled down so you can be vigilante for any sounds of trouble.

So Const. Maschke had an idea.

He put the word out on social media for local kids and their families to let the department know about their summertime lemonade stand efforts so officers might be able to stop by for a little cool, sweet refreshment — and maybe forge important relationships along the way.

So far, Maschke has heard from three young Port Moody lemonade entrepreneurs as well as several from Coquitlam whose locations he has shared with the local Mounties so they can stay hydrated, too.

But Maschke said buying a

Port Moody Police Const. Jason Maschke loves lemonade and wants the city’s young lemonade entrepreneurs to let him know where they’re setting up their summertime stands so officers can stop by. lemonade from a kid parked behind a card table at the end of their driveway is about more than getting a refreshing beverage.

“It’s about kids putting down their electronic devices and being creative to make the signs, getting mom and dad involved to set up the stand,” said Maschke, who has been a cop for more than 20 years, the last seven in Port Moody.

Maschke said being a kid entrepreneur is a universal

childhood experience, whether it’s hawking lemonade, toys or — like he did with his brothers growing up in Napanee, Ont. — worms. And making those sales, especially to an adult, can be a hugely enriching and influential experience.

“That nervous anticipation of your first customer, it’s a big deal,” Maschke said.

And the payoff is more than just coins collected in a jar or plastic cup.

“There’s a feeling of pride a

kid gets that they did all this, they made this happen without WiFi,” Maschke said.

His pitch has also proved popular with fellow officers, who are eager to sample the lemonade efforts of Port Moody’s young mixologists.

“It takes them back to their own childhood,” Maschke said.

“It’s a way for them to engage with the kids. Even if it’s just for five minutes, it can change a child’s life forever.”

Maschke speaks from experi-

White Pine Beach at Sasamat Lake is open even though the bear that prompted its closure has not been caught.

Earlier this month, there were reports of a young bear walking along the beach in the picnic area and pillaging people’s food. Staff from Metro Vancouver, which operates Belcarra Regional Park, where the beach is located, closed it and the BC Conservation Officers Service (COS) set a trap.

COS said the bear trap was removed July 19 and some closures and food restrictions were lifted by Metro Vancouver Parks because the bear had not been reported in the area since the trap was set.

“We suspect that the food restrictions and closures may have influenced the bear’s behaviour and it moved off,” the service said in a press release. “The COS will be monitoring closely and will respond if the bear returns exhibiting the same behaviour.”

If it does come back, said the COS, the trap will be redeployed and closures may be necessary.

Sgt. Todd Hunter of the COS told The Tri-City News at the time of the closure the bear was persistent and returned several times. One officer, he noted, saw someone throwing some bread to the creature.

“We’re the problem that’s causing the conflict and we have to manage ourselves at all times of the year,” he said. ence. He still remembers the time “Officer Cook” walked into his elementary school classroom in Napanee to give a talk, looking larger than life in his uniform and policing implements.

“He had such a presence about him,” Maschke said. “It always stayed with me.”

Indeed, the encounter influenced his own decision to choose policing as a career.

Maschke said the best lemonade is the simplest

lemonade; the juice from two fresh lemons squeezed into the coldest water possible. But mixing from frozen concentrate is good too.

“Don’t over-think it,” he said.

HARD ROCK CASINO

Casino workers sign Gary MCKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Unionized employees at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver in Coquitlam are back at work after voting to ratify — barely — a new labour contract with the company, ending a 10week strike.

Stephanie Smith, president of the BCGEU, which represents 400 workers at the United Boulevard facility, said the new agreement increases wages and improves benefits for the union members.

“This is a groundbreaking first agreement,” she told The Tri-City News Tuesday, a day after the union announced the contract had been ratified.

“This sets a new standard in terms of wages and benefits.”

She said employees on the higher end of the pay scale will

see an immediate approximate wage lift of 5% while those on the lower end will received an increase of 31%. Wages will also increase 2% per year over the three-year deal and a new targeted benefit pension plan is included.

Workers have been on strike since May 11 in a dispute over wages and hours of work. A tentative agreement had been reached by the company, Great Canadian Gaming Corp., and the union last month but workers voted against ratifying that deal. Smith said at the time that members were concerned about the casino’s decision to phase out poker and craps tables, whose dealers tend to have higher-paying jobs. The company would not confirm the decision to The Tri-City News.

Contract language was added following the failed

ratification vote that moved up wage increases in the scale and clarified language around layoffs and recall notification, Smith added. Still, she conceded the contract was ratified by “a slim margin” of 57%.

“I think that speaks to the uncertainty,” she said. “We are going to have to continue to work really hard to protect our members’ interests.”

Picket lines came down immediately after the contract was ratified and workers in security and culinary were back on the job Monday. Jimmy Ho, general manager of the casino, said in a statement that he is pleased that employees would be returning to work. He confirmed that the deal is for three and a half years and the casino would “resume full scope of its operations on Wednesday.”

FIRE

Women hurt & home damaged A 56-year-old woman was taken to hospital Saturday morning after fire broke out at a home in the 600-block of Como Lake Avenue in Coquitlam.

Fire Chief Jim Ogloff said investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the blaze but they do not believe it is suspicious. He added that

they are waiting to speak with the victim before making a final conclusion.

The source of the flames was in a home office and witnesses saw a badly burned woman climbing out of the window of the one-storey house. She was the only person who was home at the time of the incident and was taken to Vancouver

General Hospital with what Ogloff called “fairly serious burns” to her upper body.

Significant fire damage was sustained in the room where investigators believe the fire started and there was smoke damage throughout the house, Ogloff said, adding it is likely the home will have to be torn down.

RIDE TO CONQUER CANCER

2 PoCo sisters turn receiving into giving to aid cancer rider An unexpected fundraising boost for a PoCo man Gary MCKenna

The Tri-CiTy News

Every time Jonathan Adams hits the road in the Ride to Conquer Cancer, he exceeds his fundraising goal.

This year is proving to be no different — and he’s getting some help from a surprising source.

Two neighbour kids at his Port Coquitlam townhouse complex — sisters Aydenne and Kendra Johnson — recently turned their joint birthday party into a fundraising event for the 36-year-old Adams, raising $450 toward his 2018 goal of $10,000.

“I did not expect that at all,” said Adams, who did not know what the pair had done until he saw the donation show up on his fundraising website.

Aydenne, who turned eight May 12, and Kendra, who turned six May 7, usually celebrate their birthdays together.

The two said they got the idea

for using the party as a fundraiser after several family members and friends got cancer.

“Our granddad had cancer,” Aydenne said.

“We didn’t want them to get more cancer,” added Kendra.

Without consulting Adams, the two sent out birthday invitations that asked for donations in lieu of gifts “to help us kick cancer’s butt.”

“I was pretty shocked that kids of that age would turn down the opportunity to get toys and gifts and presents, and saw the value of donating to this cause,” Adams told The Tri-City News. “Obviously, I am touched that they have personally been impacted with family members and friends that have gone through cancer treatment.”

As for Adams, he got involved in the Ride to Conquer Cancer in 2015 after his father died following a 15-year battle with cancer.

“I decided that would be enough motivation to hop on a bike,” he said, noting that he had never been an avid cyclist before then. “August 2015 was my first time doing the ride.”

In his first year, he set a goal

of raising $3,000 but ended up bringing in $3,800. The following year he again exceeded a $5,000 fundraising goal and for the 2018 ride, with two months left before the race, he is 82% of the way to achieving his goal of $10,000.

This year, instead of the usual trip to Seattle, the 200-km route will take Adams on a tour of the Fraser Valley. He’ll start in Cloverdale, looping through Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford, before spending the night in a camp in Chilliwack. On the second day, Adams will push on to the finish line in Hope.

And he won’t be alone. Last year, close to 2,000 riders took part in the event, raising $8.3 million for the B.C. Cancer Foundation.

Adams is captain of a team of work colleagues that has grown from eight in the first year that he participated in the ride to 24 for the 2018 trek. “It is an epic experience,” he said.

Clay will run for 3rd term PoMo mayor cites ‘responsive, respectful’ gov’t.

Mario Bartel

The Tri-CiTy News

Mike Clay will seek a third term as mayor of Port Moody.

Clay, 52, is a life-long resident of the city who launched his political career in 2005 when he was elected to his first of two terms as a city councillor. He won the mayor’s job in 2011 and was re-elected in 2014.

Clay’s professional background is in the transportation and warehousing industry, where he was a manager of customer service, built his own company and then helped developed web-based applications for the shipping industry.

“I believe an essential role of local government is to provide core services to residents as ef-

POMO MAYOR MIKE CLAY ficiently and effectively as possible,” Clay said on his website, which he recently relaunched for his campaign to retain his position in the Oct. 20 civic elections. “Local government should be responsive, respectful, and communicative.”

So far, only one other candidate, Port Moody Coun. Rob Vagramov, has announced an intention to challenge Clay. mbartel@tricitynews.com

sOUTAr, Krier deClAre Another former provincial candidate is running for a seat on Coquitlam council.

Ian Soutar, 28, ran last year in Coquitlam-Burke Mountain with the Green Party. He said at the time that he was inspired to run by his friend and Green Party leader Elizabeth May. Another Green candidate from last year’s provincial election, Nicola Spurling, recently announced she is running for Coquitlam council.

And in Anmore, Polly Krier is first out of the gates to announce her intention to run for village council.

The owner of an event man-

agement company, Krier said she has coordinated a variety of non-profit, corporate and private events throughout the region since 2007, and said her experience in business has prepared her for the role of village councillor.

“As a small business owner, I also want to ensure Anmore stays on the path of financial stability,” she said in a press release. “I’d also like to see more local events to bring us even closer together as a community.”

Elections take place Oct. 20 in all B.C. municipalities.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

More competition, please a

t first glance, it appears the NdP provincial government and a new report on modernizing the taxi industry are bending over backwards to protect the taxi industry. after all, it would seem consumers shouldn’t care whether companies that purchased taxi licences for huge sums in years past lose their shirts when ride hailing apps become legal. Those were exchanges between private parties after the licences were issued by the public regulator for a nominal fee, and with all businesses, investors sometimes lose money in risky ventures. as dan Hara notes in his report on the issue of compensation: “on an ethical basis, DELIVERY 604-472-3040 NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 cLASSIfIED ADS 604-444-3056 n

should the public purse be held accountable for private business decisions? Creating taxi licence value was never an objective of the system and the public purse never received the large payments for the purchase of taxi licences.” but maybe it’s not such a bad thing to increase the number of taxis by 15%, as the NdP government intends to do, while delaying the entry of ride hailing apps, even if it seems doing so will turn the clock back a decade.

Keeping the taxi service afloat while also discouraging bureaucratic duplication and licence resales would be beneficial if it means increased competition should large-scale international businesses, such as uber and

TC

Lyft, enter the Lower Mainland.

Taxis are not all bad, and in fact, have proven to be a consistent, safe and reliable service, albeit with serious limitations for those living in the suburbs. for one thing, taxis are better positioned to provide accessible services, as they already do, and if adequately promoted, could make this a selling feature, because uber has admitted it can’t provide this service.

While it’s true a local cab company, bel-air Taxi, missed an opportunity by keeping a wheelchair-bound senior waiting three hours for a cab in the rain on Canada day, this should be an anomaly in a public conveyance system if it’s not a private monopoly.

If ride hailing apps were to push taxis out of the business, these international juggernauts could quickly become a monopoly of another kind, with benefits flowing to businesses with u.S. headquarters, and these apps, as we have seen, are not entirely without their own issues, although their convenience cannot be denied.

What is important is that public safety be protected and service guaranteed, giving people, especially in the suburbs, another way to get around without a personal automobile.

Levelling the playing field so taxis can compete should be the goal of modernizing the fleet — but with an eye to more competition, not less.

FILE PHOTO

Modernizing the taxi business in B.C. is just one step that needs to be taken as the province prepares to welcome ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft.

PORT COQUITLAM

Who else gets to vote themselves $48k for leaving?

The Editor, Re. “$48K payout for Moore when he leaves office” (The TriCity News, July 11).

Greg Moore ends his job as of the mayor of Port Coquitlam the same way he started it: by giving himself an indecent pay increase, a leaving allowance of $48,000. Who else gets to vote themselves $48,000, for quitting their job?

After he was elected mayor, he and his pals on council gave themselves a whopping double-digit pay increase at a time when pay increases for everybody else, if any, were in the low single digits.

Recently, he and council members protested like spoiled children that after years of snorting at the trough, they now had to pay income tax on their so-called non-taxable income. Undeterred, they voted themselves pay increases to cover the extra cost. Who else gets to do this?

This is his and his council’s

MAYOR GREG MOORE legacy. This is how he will be remembered, from the Arms to the downtown Starbucks. They took money from us that they neither earned nor deserve.

They are not to be trusted.

They are in it for themselves.

Greg Moore was in it for himself.

What a great shame. What an insult to the citizens of Port Coquitlam.

Peter Manning, Port Coquitlam

Gillian Thomson of Sister Says performs at Port Coquitlam’s new pop-up park in the 2600-block of Shaughnessy Street, which celebrated its official opening last Friday. The temporary park, on a site in the city’s downtown where four buildings burned in, 2015, features benches, picnic tables, umbrellas for shade, planters and a 65-foot-long mural of the Golden Ears Mountains by Laura Bifano.

‘Delighted’ at pop-up PoCo park The Editor, I was delighted when driving along Shaughnessy Street in Port Coquitlam last week to discover the beautiful pop-up

park area where an unattractive empty lot has been for several years.

I hope it will be a permanent fixture for our down-

town area. We have many walkers in the area by choice and necessity, and it is a great place to stop to watch people and enjoy the ambience of

the area.

Good job to whoever put idea into reality and I sincerely hope it will not disappear.

HOT WEATHER

Burning bans in place continued from front page

In 2005, Coquitlam banned outdoor burning year round.

Barbecuing is allowed but basically any other kind of fire isn’t.

With Coquitlam being bordered by Crown land to the north that’s untouched or undeveloped forest, there’s always a potential for a wildfire, particularly with high temperatures and high humidity, said Ogloff.

PoMo’s Coulson said there’s particular concern when the humidity percentage is less than the temperature because of the dry conditions that combination creates.

“That can really exacerbate the fire risks,” said Coulson.

He noted Port Moody, like Coquitlam, has a lot of wooded area that creates concern, particularly Bert Flinn Park, the land to the north and Burnaby Mountain to the west. All are well used by community members, he said, and all it takes is one negligent smoker or a group of youngsters having a party in the woods to wreak havoc.

PoCo said in a news release it will be stepping up enforcement patrols in areas susceptible to brush fires.

When the fire risk is high, that usually means the water levels are low. So far this year, however, Metro Vancouver hasn’t needed to elevate its summer restrictions from Stage 1, which permits watering of lawns and gardens twice a week at certain times.

no smoking at douglas college Douglas College will be smoke-free beginning the next academic year. Starting Sept. 1, the college’s campuses in Coquitlam and New Westminster will remove designated smoking spaces and ban all forms of smoking, including tobacco, cannabis and vaping. According to a news release Tuesday, the change comes after a survey found more than three quarters of respondents were bothered by secondhand smoke. The poll also found 23% of respondents who smoke said they want to quit; in response, the college will provide information on smoking-cessation programs. The smoking prohibition will extend to the college’s training group sites as well as parkades and parking lots.

Metro Vancouver spokesperson Sarah Lusk said water levels at the Coquitlam reservoir are currently within the normal range at 83% of maximum. She said there are no plans to move beyond the restrictions already in place.

City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto, chair of Metro Vancouver’s utilities committee, said the regional district’s three reservoirs are at 80% overall. He said if they were at that level in May or June, it would be more of a challenge but the current level means the district should have lots left over for September and October.

“For this time of year, it is good,” he said. “We’re right in the middle of where we should be.”

Being in good shape, however, doesn’t mean the district won’t be vigilant with water use.

“We want good weather,

we don’t want to scare the sun away, but at the same time we don’t want to stop saving water,” Mussatto said. “We find the watering of lawns is the biggest increase of using water in the summertime.”

He’d prefer residents follow his example and not water their lawns at all.

“Grass doesn’t die, it just goes dormant. It’s fine with being golden brown,” said Mussatto.

He added many residents are following the advice and water use habits are getting better.

“The good news is we are consuming less per capita than we have in the past but the bad news is we’re still using more than the average in Canada,” said Mussatto, who noted Metro Vancouver uses 1.4 billion kites of water a day and with the region’s increasing population that’s only going to go up.

Photos from Port Moody’s fourth annual RibFest on the weekend (clockwise from above): Eric Mason digs into his rib lunch Friday.

Rahim Berisha uses his biggest voice, while wearing his biggest hat, to lure customers to Boss Hogs, one of five professional ribbers serving up grilled goodies at RibFest. Mike Ehmann tends to racks of ribs at Prairie Smoke and Ribs. Charlotte Hart and Connor McLarty shuck about 40 boxes of corn on opening day. There was more to RibFest than food as kids could also take advantage of activities like a climbing wall. Tatiana Sarah tends to the grill at Smoke and Bones. And local musician Rocky Milino Jr. performs.

contradictions while affirming her opinions on the misogyny, sexism and inequality that women routinely face. Each essay describes her experiences in context to societal expectations, politics, popular culture and feminist literary criticism. These narratives are often funny, witty, self-depreciating — and sometimes deeply heartbreaking.

Dear Ijeawele, or, A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions is a 63-page letter written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie to friend who has asked her how to raise her baby daughter

HEATHER HADLEY

T

he Me Too movement, various recent news stories and the current political climate have reemphasized the importance of women telling their own stories in their own words.

The following female authors provide first-hand accounts of their experiences, offering a unique analysis of themselves and the world around them.

Heather O’Neill’s advice from her father in Wisdom in Nonsense: Invaluable Lessons from My Father may not be considered conventional but it is certainly entertaining: Learn to play the tuba (there’s a shortage of tuba players, so you’ll always have work).

Stay away from Paul Newman movies (or Paul Newman for that matter) at all costs. As you read through the lecture, a dynamic picture of her father evolves, describing an eccentric, if not flawed, man whose views helped shape O’Neill’s childhood. Funny and genu-

ine, O’Neill deconstructs the impact of her father’s often absurd but well-intentioned advice, reflecting on how it has influence her perception of the world and her work.

Is it possible to be a “good” feminist while having a penchant for bad pop songs and loving the colour pink? Is there even such a thing as a “good” or “bad” feminist? These questions are explored in Bad Feminist, Roxanne Gay’s collection of essays in which she addresses her own feminist

as a feminist. Each suggestion expresses thoughtful advice on how to raise her daughter to be an independent woman, free of socially fabricated gender constraints. Drawing from her own experiences, perceptions and Igbo culture, Ngozi encourages her friend to raise her baby girl to embrace creativity, curiosity, self-confidence and gender equality.

Sloane Crosley’s book of essays I Was Told There’d Be Cake describes her habitually clumsy attempts at trying to navigate grown-up expectations, responsibilities and

exploring their relationships, family history and diverse challenges as they navigate their lives. Deeply personal, these stories offer a stark view into the life of the storyteller, allowing the reader an opportunity to challenge their own stereotypes by reading stories which do not often have the chance to be told.

relationships. From her first adult job, failure at having a one-night stand or a deep aversion at having to be a maid of honour, these often sardonic essays provide a lens into one woman’s experience of how she fits, or doesn’t fit, into the world.

In Plain Sight: Reflections on Life in Downtown Eastside Vancouver is a collection of stories written by seven women living in disenfranchised conditions in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Each story provides a first-hand narrative of these women’s reality,

Royal BC Museum brings WWI touring exhibit to PM for last year of centenary JanIs Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News

They were farmers and fishermen, miners and loggers, rail and road builders.

And, because of their backgrounds in British Columbia, they proved to be a hardworking, resilient lot on the battlefield, too.

In total, B.C. sent 55,570 residents to fight in the First World War — one in seven men, the highest rate of any province in Canada — with the 620,000-strong Canadian Expeditionary Force.

They fought for duty and honour, adventure and heroism. But many also escaped the downtown in the economy, which had soured in 1913, and left them without work.

Their war efforts — including at Ypres in Belgium (1915) and Vimy Ridge in France

(1917), the latter solidifying Canada’s place on the world stage as an independent nation — are revisited in a Royal BC Museum touring exhibit, now on show at the Port Moody Station Museum until Sept. 23.

Coinciding with the last year of the WWI centenary, the display — titled British Columbia’s War 1914-’18 — features 12 panels in English and French describing the campaign (of which 88 Port Moody residents enlisted) on the front lines and at home.

There are photos of the 102nd (North British Columbians) Battalion at Courcelette, France, before an attack in September 1916 as well as an image of Nanaimo flying ace Maj. Raymond Collishaw in France in 1918; he was the second highest-scoring Canadian pilot in WWI. As well, the panels fea-

ture celebratory scenes from Ladysmith as well as the unveiling of the Chilliwack war memorial in April 1923.

There are replicas of letters, postcards, photos, a ration book and a diary from the era plus a video with black and white footage of servicemen leaving the Victoria harbour.

But the exhibit also describes how British Columbians supported the Allied forces at home as well by hosting fundraisers, building victory gardens and recycling scrap metal, among other things; Sitka spruce trees in Haida Gwaii were also felled to make the frames for British fighter planes while active submarines stopped in at the Ioco refinery in Port Moody to fuel up.

Kate Kerr, Royal BC Museum’s travelling exhibits co-ordinator, said the exhibit

has opened in 12 venues around B.C., from Trail to Port Alberni, and “although it was scheduled to travel only until 2018 through funding from Heritage Canada, it continues to be booked into 2019,” she told The Tri-City News this week, in an email.

Curated by Lorne Hammond — in consultation with Paul Ferguson, Royal BC Museum’s registrar, who is a WWI expert — the content is based on feedback from museums around B.C. “The message was clear that museums wanted to have stories from B.C. to which communities can relate and add their local content,” Kerr said.

“Museums particularly wanted to engage with students who would be seeing the exhibit.”

Kerr said Port Moody was a perfect fit for the exhibit given the museum’s WWI centenary

lecture series, since 2014, and its trench dig. “The staff at the Port Moody Station Museum have gone far beyond what any museum — let alone one of this size — usually achieves in bringing the story of World War One to their community,” she said, adding, “I feel that the tour of this exhibit around the province wouldn’t have been complete without a stop here.”

Co-ordinator Markus Fahrner said the Port Moody museum’s partnership with Royal BC Museum has been successful: In the past year, the local facility has hosted two displays from Victoria — the first, a show titled Meeting the Moodys, ran last fall.

“Both of their exhibits have been very topical for this area,” he said, “and we were pleased the Royal BC Museum was able to loan them to us.”

1914-’18 can be seen at the Port Moody Station Museum (2734 Murray St.) every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Sept. 23.

The exhibit is funded in part by the Port Moody and Coquitlam Legion branches and the Port Moody Heritage Society.

“It was chaotic down there,” Canadian coach Randy Mearns said after the game.

Canada, which were the defending champions after they defeated the Americans in the 2014 final in Denver, Colo., led 4-2 after the first quarter and 6-4 at halftime, but a pair of unanswered goals by the U.S. in the third quarter got the teams back on even terms heading into the game’s final 20-minute period.

Port Coquitlam’s Curtis Dickson, who plays for the Maple Ridge Burrards of the Western Lacrosse Association, put Canada back in front, 7-6, early in the final quarter before Schreiber tied it again with his first goal of the game.

Canada went back in front, 8-7, when Mark Cockerton scored with just over five minutes left in regulation time. But Ryan Brown, of the U.S. tied it 1:14 later.

Dickson had three goals to lead all Canadian scorers.

He was also named to the AllWorld team. Coquitlam’s Ben McIntosh had a pair of goals on three shots, while Wesley Berg was held off the scoresheet.

defender was named to the AllWorld all-star team. He scored one goal and collected seven ground balls.

But it was a mixed honour for the young Port Coquitlam native who was acquired from the PoCo Saints in a trade on June 30. Canada lost Saturday’s championship final to the American team, 9-8, on a controversial last-second goal by Tom Schreiber of the U.S. While the stadium clock said time had expired, the official game clock indicated Schreiber’s goal came with a

The Juniors aren’t the only Adanacs’ team moving on in lacrosse playoffs.

The Senior B team will also begin their best-of-five West Coast Senior Lacrosse League semifinal series against the Ladner Pioneers Wednesday (tonight) in Ladner.

The Adanacs advanced by beating the New Westminster Capitals 9-8 on Sunday to take their best-of-three quarterfinal two games to one.

The second game of the playoff series will be played Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The Coquitlam Adanacs will open the defence of their BC Junior A Lacrosse League championship tonight (Wednesday) at Queen’s Park Arena when they face the New Westminster Salmonbellies in the first game of their best-ofseven league final.

The series is a rematch of last year’s championship, which was won by the Adanacs in five games.

The Adanacs earned their place in the final by dispatching the Victoria Shamrocks 10-4 on Saturday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex to sweep their best-of-five semifinal in three straight games.

After ending the first period deadlocked 1-1 on goals

by Victoria’s Zach Manns and Coquitlam’s Dennon Armstrong, the Shamrocks went ahead 2-1 early in the second when Ben Preston beat Adanacs keeper Christian Del Bianco.

But the Adanacs took control of the game by scoring four straight goals to jump ahead 5-2. Adam Fulton, Thomas Semple Reid Bowering and Armstrong — with his second of the game — all beat Victoria’s goalie, Cameron Dunkerley before Marshal King stopped the run to bring the visitors back to within a pair of goals.

Jalen Chaster scored on a set up from Del Bianco to make it 6-3 heading into the second intermission and Dylan Foulds netted another less than three minutes after the break to extend Coquitlam’s lead to 7-3.

Braylon Lamb scored the Shamrocks fourth goal before the hosts closed it out with three straight by Armstrong, Ethan Ticehurst and Graydon

Bradley.

Armstrong added a pair of assists to his three goals to lead Coquitlam scorers while John Hofseth pitched in with four assists. The Adanacs fired 47 shots at Victoria’s net, while Del Bianco faced 31.

In anticipation of their own run at a league title and berth in the Minto Cup national championship, the Salmonbellies bolstered their lineup heading down the stretch of the regular season by adding offensive sparkplugs Ryan Jones from Delta,

Nathaniel Kozevnikov and Dalton Lupul from Langley as well as Bobby Kidd III. They also acquired speedster Tanner Poole from Barrie.

The team will also benefit from the return of Tre LeClaire from Israel, where he played for the Canadian national team at the 2018 FIL World Men’s Lacrosse Championship.

“It’s always been the goal to get to a Minto Cup, but we’ve been running up against (Coquitlam) the last few years,” said Salmonbellies president Walt Weaver. “We’re only get-

ting better with these players.”

After opening the final in New West. the series shifts to Coquitlam for games Friday and Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre.
