CANADA DAY FESTIVITIES: COQUITLAM

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

The Tri-CiTy News

An estimated 65,000 people took in Canada Day festivities on the shores of Lafarge Lake as residents flocked to Town Centre Park to celebrate the country’s 149th birthday. The city estimates that between 30,000 and 40,000 people took part in the day-time activities, with the number of festival-goers peaking in the evening for the light display. Raul Allueva, general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, said the event showcased the new plaza and the city’s efforts to transition its larger festivals to the south side of Town Centre Park. “It was a little more intimate,” he told The Tri-City News. “I think it worked really well. The plaza was outstanding.” Because the site is open in all directions, Allueva said the plaza is easily accessible. Some people watched the various performances and entertainment on the stage while others were happy to eat some food and take in the view of the lake, he added. “That is the vision,” he said. “It is a place where people can

The amphitheatre, or performance plaza, was the centre of Canada Day festivities that drew some 65,000 people last Friday to Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park. enjoy the setting and the performance if there is one.” And more work is expected in the area. Allueva said a permanent bathroom facility is part of a larger amenity package included in the Town Centre Park master plan that he said will improve future events at the lake. Canada Day was the first event for the amphitheatre, which was a controversial project. During last year’s public consultation on the performance plaza, residents were fairly evenly split on whether the project should be approved, with a number of people expressing reservations about the look of the

project and saying it might disrupt the natural setting next to the lake. (As well, the project went over budget, rising $500,000 from the budgeted cost of $2.7 million to $3.2 million.) But Allueva said he hopes some of those concerns could be put to rest now that the project has been completed. He noted that a lot of effort went into ensuring the amphitheatre-style seating fit with the natural landscape and the slope of the shoreline. “Anyone who had any misgivings about its appropriateness… Any fears they had would be dispelled.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

MEDIAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENT STRAIN - KNEE PAIN I had injured my right knee on the stairs and for 6 months my knee was catching,painful and very loose. After several laser treatments the pain was practically eliminated and the ligaments relaxed enough for full range of motion to return. V.S (52) KNEE PAIN I was diagnosed with serious Arthritis issues in both knees. Other treatments (physio, injections) gave only marginal improvements. I’ve had about six half hour treatments for each knee and I can’t believe the results. I feel almost no knee pain or stiffness and can sleep without pain pills. G.S (65)

CRIME

Multiple charges for Coq. man in Alberta Attempted carjacking alleged by Redcliff Mounties A Coquitlam man is facing charges in Alberta after an alleged attempted carjacking in Medicine Hat over the weekend. Last Friday, Redcliff RCMP received three calls reporting an erratic driver travelling at a high rate of speed and passing people on the shoulder of the fast lane on Highway 1 near

Medicine Hat. Some reported the vehicle was speeding by at 163 km/h in a 110 km/h zone. Officers stopped the westbound vehicle on the highway shortly after one of its tires went flat. The driver jumped out of the vehicle and approached the driver of another vehicle parked close by and attempted to force that driver out. Redcliff RCMP officers approached the suspect in the fleeing vehicle to prevent the attempted robbery but the driver refused to co-operate,

according to a police report. After a struggle, the driver was placed under arrest; no injuries were reported. Daniel Joseph Landry is facing charges including attempted robbery, failing to remain at the accident scene, dangerous driving, assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and attempting to disarm a police officer. He was scheduled to make his first appearance in a Medicine Hat court yesterday. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

TRI-CITY CRIME

‘Odd mix of spewed hatred,’ says Mountie continued from front page

He sent an email asking for help in removing the graffiti and the next morning parents, staff and even an old high school friend of Larocque’s showed up to scrub the nasty messages and images from the van. “It’s not a work of art but at least there’s no swastikas,” Larocque said, adding he figures the culprits, who were heard by a neighbour between 2 and 3 a.m. on July 2, were likely kids going for shock value. And while the extra work of cleaning the van and the building have been a hassle, Larocque said the response has been heartwarming. “It’s been really neat to see the community reach out a little bit,” he said. Coquitlam RCMP Const. Jamie Phillipson confirmed police are investigating the incident, possibly as a hate crime. “There’s no pre-existing motivation on the property… it’s an odd mix of spewed hatred,” he said. “The file is still being investigated with E Division’s Hate Crimes Unit.” Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 604945-1550 and quote file number 2016-21143.

EVERGREEN LINE

Another look at Evergreen GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Work on the Evergreen Line construction project is entering its final phase, with tunnel construction expected to be completed by the fall and opening scheduled in early 2017. According to the Ministry of Transportation, tunnel interior work and systems installations will be taking place over the summer, followed by track testing. “The Evergreen Line is about 85% compete,” said Trish Rorison, a spokesperson for the ministry, in an email. “Construction in the tunnel is ongoing, including track work.” Last week, the Evergreen Line Rapid Transit Project office released a video of train testing along Pinetree Way in Coquitlam. The clip shows the train leave Coquitlam Station, continue through Lincoln Station (located in the north-

east corner of the Coquitlam Centre mall parking lot), before stopping at the Lafarge LakeDouglas Station terminus. As expected, the tunnel has proven to be the most challenging part of the line’s construction, with the section mired in boring difficulties and sinkholes that were created as a result. But the ministry said that the hardest parts are completed, with testing for the 1.2-km portion of the line on schedule to begin this fall. Train testing and commissioning between Lougheed Station and Burquitlam Station is complete while work between Port Moody and Coquitlam is expected to continue through the summer.

BELCARRA COTTAGES

Speak up with ideas for Belcarra park, cottages SARAH PAYNE The Tri-CiTy News

Belcarra Regional Park users may want to time one of their visits this month to the days when Metro Vancouver is seeking public input on plans for the south end of the park. On July 14 and 16, visitors to the Belcarra picnic area can check out info on a section of the park that is home to seven cottages and the historic Bole House, and provide feedback on the area’s future programming and development. “It’s more blank slate, we’re not showing options but just asking for feedback at this early stage,” said Jamie Vala, Metro Vancouver’s division manager for regional parks/central area. Metro is asking for the public’s input after original plans to demolish the cabins were stymied when Port Moody council gave six of them heritage status (the seventh is in Belcarra). But with increasing demand for the park — the number of visitors has increased by 22% in the last five years — Metro is looking for ways to accommodate the growing crowds. “Growth in the northeast sector is just increasing and we don’t anticipate it’s going to slow down,” Vala said. Belcarra South residents

They were notified in early 2013 of Metro’s plan to demolish the homes and they have been battling since to hang on to them. A spring 2014 report by Donald Luxton and Associates said the cottages are “the only surviving example of the numerous cottages that lined the shores of Burrard Inlet.” But in issuing the 2013 eviction notice, Metro Van said the cottages are in disrepair and pose a liability. It also noted an interest in expanding the park to create public access to a beach that sits just over a rocky outcrop from the picnic area. Vala said two plans for

Belcarra South, from the 1980s and ’90s, were approved by the board and included opening up the area to the public and establishing picnic shelters, washrooms, access to the beach, a small wharf and adaptive re-use of the Bole House. The public consultation will ask for feedback in four areas: environmental protection and interpretation; access and amenity improvements; appropriate use of publicly owned structures; and future priorities. • Public open houses are on Thursday, July 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday, July 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., both at the Belcarra picnic area. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

OUR OPINION

Sheltering private schools while undermining public S chool’s out for the summer but recent debates on the educational front suggest we’re in need of a lesson ourselves. As an eye-opening piece by the National Observer’s Sandy Garossino pointed out, those who can afford private school are apparently eligible to write off a portion of the fees that cover lunch and recess time as “child care” expenses on their taxes — even for teenagers up to 16 years of age. And although they’re far from accessible to everyone, private schools continue to receive perpupil operating grants at up to 50% of the level handed out to public schools. That taxpayerfunded subsidy comes to about $300 million annu-

ally at a time when public schools are facing closure around the province. It’s a policy that a recent poll suggested most British Columbians don’t support.

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

100% of capital costs. Yet if that were the case, boards of education wouldn’t have to sell off school lands to fund replacement schools that make sense, or lease a number of closed former public school properties to private institutions to bolster operating revenue. If public funding were adequate, parents across the province wouldn’t have to fundraise for everything from computers to playground equipment, once considered essential parts of public schools. Before the next class graduates, we need to re-think the lesson plan on what’s considered fair funding for our schools because, right now, we’re undermining public education while sheltering the private system. – North Shore News

Businesses that Coquitlam Rose Unveiled

ave you ever had to come up with the perfect way to celebrate an extra special birthday? The City of Coquitlam has done just that for the 125-year celebration of its July 25, 1891 incorporation by purchasing the naming rights for a brand new variety of rose! “We worked in collaboration with the Fraser Pacific Rose Society,” says Kathleen Reinheimer, the City of Coquitlam’s Parks Manager. “It’s a salmon-coloured rose and we named it the “Coquitlam Rose” in honour of our Coast Salish Heritage.” The name Coquitlam, according to the City’s website, comes from the Coast Salish word “Kwikwetlem,” meaning “red fish up the river.” The name was in acknowledgment of the importance of salmon to the Coast Salish culture. “It’s a hardy rose,” notes Kathleen, “disease-resistant and long-blooming.” The official unveiling of the Coquitlam Rose will take place on July 3, 2016 in the Centennial Rose Garden during the 2016 Rose Show. Subsequently, as additional plants become available, plantings will take place in the City’s Inspiration Garden, as well as other parks and public gardens around the community. The new variety of rose will also be made available to local growers.

In addition to celebrating the City’s 125th birthday, the new Coquitlam Rose makes its debut in time for the City’s entry into the national Communities in Bloom competition. This friendly competition between Canadian cities is meant to showcase how communities work together to enhance the environment, beautify their city, and conserve the area’s heritage. For more information on the Coquitlam Rose and the Coquitlam in Bloom program, check out the City’s website at www.coquitlam.ca/cib or call 604.927.3046.

COQUITLAM PUBLIC LIBRARY

TRI-CITY ROADS

The Editor, Re. “Union, CPL at odds over new positions” (The Tri-City News, June 15). In the article by Diane Strandberg, it’s stated that Coquitlam Public Library director Todd Gnissios “said the library needs people who can work with new technology, adapt to changing needs of the library and offer services outside the confines of the traditional library branch.” “Everything we’re doing is changing,” he is quoted as saying. “What we have is a structure that can’t respond to that.” As a retired library staff member, I am offended in more ways than one. Public libraries are special places. They are not trying to sell you something. You don’t have to go there to get service. They offer many things to many people of all ages. Whether you think of public libraries as hallowed halls of learning with strict rules, busy community centres of programs

The Editor, My 89-year-old mother was stuck in the gridlock of Pinetree Way last week when she was rear-ended by another motorist. When she got out of her vehicle to inspect it and get information from the gentleman (I use this term lightly), he tried to convince her that there was no damage to her car. She insisted that he provide his name and paperwork. He again insisted there was no damage to either vehicle and that he didn’t need to give her his paperwork. My mother stated that she had already taken down his licence plate number and that if he did not provide his name, she was going to call the police. He then said that they could both pull around the corner for him to give his name. She said, “No, you will give it to me now or I will call the police.” At that point, my sister-

TODD GNISSIOS, CPL DIRECTOR for all ages or even the quiet spot to hang out to finished school work, they have been changing since they started. Coquitlam Public Library started in Centennial secondary school and moved many times before it settled into the two locations presently occupied. Many changes have happened that included new technology and new services provided by the staff. You hear comments that with all the electronic devices we have now, computers and

eBooks to name only two, books would fade away and no longer be needed. Yet library staff have adapted; for example, they teach computer skills and how to use eBooks. In library surveys, the people of Coquitlam reported that staff are the library’s greatest resource. I am outraged that Mr. Gnissios has no faith in the present staff and is creating six new management positions he hopes staff will bid for, which are really their present positions with a few management duties thrown in. Libraries and their staffs will always be changing, responding, adapting. Mr. Gnissios, work with yours. Jo Patterson, Chilliwack

Notice of Public Hearing

Zoning Amendments for the Agriculture Zone

Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3945

DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

The village of Anmore has run out of options to save the former home of B.C. pioneer Margaret ‘Ma’ Murray and is now appealing to heritage buffs and entrepreneurs to move the century-old cottage and restore it. A request for expressions of interest has been posted on the BC Bid website for someone to retain, move and restore the original Ma Murray homestead. Ideally, the proponent would move the 700 sq. ft. building to private land but the village will consider a proposal to put the cottage on civic property, depending on the use, parking requirements and revenue sharing, among other things. Mayor John McEwen said only the oldest portion of what was once used as Anmore village hall is worth saving, according to Heritage BC, and the village needs the structure moved to make way for a new village centre. Another portion of the building, a converted garage used for village administration but decommissioned in 2012 because of rodent infestations and other problems, will be demolished. “We want to build a new village hall there [and] because there’s a septic system and all of the services are there [the

The village council is hoping to find someone to move the building either to private land or possibly a civic properly. building needs to be moved],” McEwen said. This is the last chance for the building that once housed newspaper pioneer Ma Murray and her family, and McEwen said proposals such as moving the building to the Ioco lands and turning it into a restaurant have not panned out. “We’re hoping that with publicity, some people would come forward,” he told The Tri-City News. As to the logistics of moving the former homestead, it’s entirely feasible, said a spokesperson for Port Coquitlam’s Nickel Bros. Adam Knipfel said his company was brought in to have a look at the building

and although there is no firm proposal, the move would be standard and not pose a risk to the structure. “If it’s not collapsing now, it’s not going to collapse on our transport with the proper moving equipment,” said Knipfel, who said the 60-year-old company has moved many older homes over the years. Other than adding some bracing to the structure, the move would be straightforward, he said. The deadline for the request for proposals is July 15. For more information, visit bcbid. gov.bc.ca.

All members of the public will have a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions about the bylaw at the hearing. Council cannot receive new or additional information on this application after the public hearing.

In compliance with the direction being set by the Province for properties within the Agricultural Land Reserve, the City is taking steps intended to reduce the impact of residential development on farm properties and support farming businesses. A comprehensive amendment to the uses permitted in the Agriculture Zone and regulations applicable to these uses is proposed. It includes a limit to the maximum size of a farm residential dwelling of 500m2, a limit to the total area occupied by farm residential uses (the “farm home plate”) of 2000m2, a requirement that farm residential development be located within 60m of the front property line and other changes to setback regulations and permitted uses.

CANADA POST

Canada Post issues lockout notice to its unionized staff Union says corp. wants steep contract concessions

ized workforce. Canada Post said it plans to suspend the collective agreement, citing declining volumes as major customers anticipate a mail service disruption. The company said the move will give managers the flexibility to adjust staffing to match the reduced amount of work needed due to the “changing business reality” and doesn’t necessarily mean a lockout will be triggered.

JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

Regular mail and parcel delivery could be knocked out as early as Friday after Canada Post issued 72-hour lockout notice Tuesday to its union-

Mike Palecek, president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), denounced the move as one aimed at forcing 50,000 postal workers to accept steep concessions. “We knew this was their game all along,” Palecek said. “They are sabotaging the public review of the post office.

Learn how the food bank works Saturday Want to know how the Share Family and Community Services food bank operates and what’s needed to feed 400 individuals and families each week? Visits the Remember the Food Bank open house Saturday, July 9 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be tours of the food bank facilities, fun activities for kids, Strike Out Hunger Bowling and a by-donation barbecue provided by Save-On Foods (Pinetree Village, Coquitlam). The Share food bank is located at 2615 Clarke St. (rear), Port Moody. It runs year round out of distribution centres in PoMo, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam but food is needed now as shelves are quickly emptying. In a front-page story in last Friday’s Tri-City News, Share’s director of fund development, Valerie Hutton, said food bank shelves are emptying quickly as canned and dried goods collected during the winter are used to fill hampers for needy families in the Tri-Cities — and 37% of Share’s food bank clients are children under the age of 18. To fill shelves again, Share is holding a summer food drive with the goal of collecting

The food bank operated by Share Family and Community Services is holding an open house Saturday in Port Moody. 10,000 lb. of food and raising $10,000 for the program, which supports approximately 400 families in need each week. There are several ways to help: • visit www.sharesociety.ca and donate online; • call Shawna at 604-5295105 and make a donation over the phone; • donate food directly to Share’s food bank at 2615 Clarke St. in Port Moody (go to rear of the building); • drop a food donation off at any local grocery store; • or host a food drive or fundraiser (you can find out

more at sharesociety.ca/host-afundraiser). As well, watch out for an upcoming grocery store food drive to take place July 16 and 17. “Most people think about donating to the food bank during the Christmas holiday season but the food bank is a yearround operation,” Hutton said. “Come summer, our reserve of food starts to shrink and it is only through the wonderful generosity of the local community that we are able to restock the shelves and continue to provide food hampers up until the traditional giving season again.”

“While we’re starting to see more properties coming onto the market in recent months, the imbalance between supply and demand continues to influence market conditions.” Dan Morrison, president of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

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

Slight rise in house prices DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

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

Great Prices. Daily Sales.

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

“While we’re starting to see more properties coming onto the market in recent months, the imbalance between supply and demand continues to influence market conditions,” Dan Morrison, the REBGV president, said in a press release. According to the latest numbers, property sales in the region totalled 4,400 in June, an increase of just 0.6% from June 2015 but a drop of 7.7% compared to May of this year, when 4,749 homes sold. Still, last month’s sales were 28.1% above the 10-year sales average for the month and rank as the highest selling June on record. New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Metro Vancouver totalled 5,875 in June. This represents an increase of 1.2% compared to the 5,803 units listed the previous June but a 6.6% decrease compared to May 2016, when 6,289 properties were listed. The total number of properties currently listed for sale on Metro’s MLS is 7,812, a 35.9% decline compared to June 2015 (12,181) and a 1.1% increase compared to May 2016 (7,726), suggesting that a few people are looking at high prices received from homes this spring and are taking the plunge but, overall, people are staying put.

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

Guillou will perform tunes from that CD at Music on the Grill with her jazz trio plus a string quartet. David Mann, ECC’s performing arts manager who this year was named the BC Touring Council’s Presenter of the Year, said Guillou is a “very special talent. If people aren’t aware of her, now’s the time to get on board.”

Still, Mann said while the series’ programming is topnotch, the opening acts are not to be missed. West My Friend — an emerging band from Victoria that features Eden Oliver on vocals — will be with Marc Atkinson to launch their new folk album that was recorded at Fiddlehead Studios on Mayne Island and produced by Junonominee David Travers-Smith. For The Good Lovelies show is another Vancouver Island music group, Three Worlds, while local bands Clavinova Nights, the Leo Bae Jazz Quartet and the Audinos have also been given a spot during the series that is sponsored by Greenline Dental.

51-year-old Kelly felt body pain especially on the neck, shoulder, waist and back every day and night over the past few years.

SUMMER SUNDAY CONCERTS

Byrnes, Brickhouse to play 10th year of ‘Sunday’ shows JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

A decade ago, George Balzer and three others stepped into Port Moody city hall to suggest summer programming at the Rocky Point Park stage. Balzer would run past the platform on his days off and would often see it empty of music or dance. The first couple of years after they got the okay was difficult with limited sponsorship, Balzer remembered, so they hired single and duo acts to fill the venue on Sunday afternoons and to raise money for the Crossroads Hospice Society. But as the word got out about the free shows, the audiences swelled too. These days, Balzer — with help from Rob Sheridan and Rob Montgomery — books bands that know the Summer Sunday Concerts’ reputation and are eager to play before an outdoor crowd of more than 1,000 party-goers hungry for the blues as well as soul, funk, R&B and reggae tunes. “It’s been quite a road,” Balzer said on Monday. “It was a lot of work in the beginning

JIM BYRNES but now it’s grown into something to be proud of.” This year’s $20,000 budget is covered by Pacific Coast Terminals, K+S Potash Canada, TD Bank Group and the Port of Vancouver (with publicity and media sponsorship from Flavelle Oceanfront Development and The Tri-City News). And, like last year, the lineup will include 23 hours worth of music from 16 bands — spread over the July 22 to 24 weekend — for the second annual Port Moody Rotary Ribfest. On Sunday, the first Summer Sunday Concerts gig will see Mostly Marley hit the PCT Performance Stage. It is followed by:

• July 17: Russell Marsland & The Chosen Few • July 31: Billy Dixon’s Soul Train Express • Aug. 7: John Delaney & The Indestructibles • Aug. 14: R&B Allstars • Aug. 21: Incognito • Aug. 28: Jim Byrnes & The Sojourners • Sept. 4: Brickhouse Balzer said he had tried to hire Byrnes three years ago “but, like a lot of bands, sometimes it just takes time because of their scheduling.” As for Brickhouse — led by Rob Bracken on lead vocals and harmonica — Balzer said they’re back by popular demand as the closers again. “It’s kind of a tradition that they wrap it up,” he said, noting the band is pushing a new CD this year. “Rocky Point is a great venue and it’s nice for them to play somewhere that’s not a bar or casino.” Balzer also noted the familyfriendly, relaxing concerts have become a tourist destination, with guests from Europe and the United States making plans to pop in to one of the shows this summer. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

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

COQUITLAM LACROSSE

Dean’s No. 5 will hit the rafters Ceremony will take place ahead of Friday’s game GARY MCKENNA

The Tri-CiTy News

As a pillar of Coquitlam’s lacrosse community, Geordie Dean is familiar with the confines of the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. But after this Friday, the main arena will feel a little more like home as the 55-yearold’s name and No. 5 jersey are raised to the rafters by the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs. The official ceremony will take place prior to the Jr. A’s last home game of the season, which starts at 7:30 p.m. on July 8, against the New Westminster

GLACIER MEDIA FILE PHOTO

Geordie Dean, right, holds the Mann Cup along with teammates Ivan Trura, left, and John Gilchrist, centre, in 1986. Dean and the squad would go on to win two more cups (1989 and 1991) and make a total of nine appearances in the Mann Cup series. Salmonbellies. The matchup is fitting, given that Dean was drafted from the Coquitlam

junior A ranks into the WLA by the Bellies in 1982. Dean, a Coquitlam Minor

Lacrosse Association product, played 100 games over four seasons with the Jr. Adanacs and was named rookie of the year in 1978 and chosen for the all-star team every season he played. He ended up recording a total of 378 career points and is still ranked 15th in the B.C. Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse League’s alltime scoring list. Sadly for Adanacs fans, he was selected by New Westminster during the 1982 draft. Dean was a powerhouse with the Bellies, playing in 53 Mann Cup games over nine series winning in 1986, 1989 and 1991. His record 67 goals in the Mann Cup series was eventually broken, but his record 94 assists in the Mann Cup still stands today.

ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL

As his career wound down, it was no surprise to anyone that Dean received the call to the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. His 2003 induction cemented his position as one of the best two-way players to pick up a stick. Meanwhile, the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs are looking to close out their season on a winning note. The club, which is currently 19-0 and firmly in control of first place in the league, has a road game against the Langley Jr. Thunder Thursday night before Friday’s bout with the Salmonbellies at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Face off is at 7:30 p.m. For more information go to www.bcjall. com. sports@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

PoMo’s Pietramala signs with SFU Clan Tri-City players filling up SFU soccer roster

Simon Fraser University’s men’s soccer team has signed Port Moody’s Andre Pietramala to its 2016 recruiting class. The Port Moody secondary alum played the bulk of his youth soccer with Coquitlam Metro-Ford and is transferring to SFU from Capilano University, where he has played for three seasons. In joining the Clan, the 5’11”, 160-lb. defender is following in the footsteps of his father, who also played with SFU. “Andre brings all kinds of experience and he has the

ability to start for us right away,” said head coach Clint Schneider. “He makes things more competitive defensively within the squad. Our goal was to ensure we had five or six players who could give us minutes defensively and adding Andre to the mix gives us that.” Pietramala joins a list of this year’s signees that include several other Tri-City athletes. Last spring, SFU announced it would enlist the services of centre back Lucas McIlveen and wingers Sam Lee and Erik Morden of Coquitlam along with goalkeeper Aidan Bain of Port Coquitlam. They will join a handful of other new recruits from across the Lower Mainland

and around the world, including defender Stefan Cuk and midfielder Rahid Rahim of Burnaby, Riley Pang of Richmond, Freddie Gard of Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England. “We went after quality people, identifying local talent first, who valued an SFU education and the degree they are going to get, and on the football side of things, knew what SFU was about,” Schneider said. “The guys we signed really want to be a part of our program.” SFU finished with a 103-4 overall record in 2015 and was second in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference at 9-2-3. The 2016 season begins next month. sports@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC
