$2.4M+ for changing rooms? 4 council members vote against pricey plan at Poirier centre Gary McKenna gmckenna@tricitynews.com

New change rooms planned for the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex will optimize ice allocation and make the venue attractive for leagues looking to host tournaments. But they won’t come cheap. Parks and recreation staff estimate the 4,150-square foot addition on the south side of the facility will cost between $2.4 million and $2.9 million, or approximately $560 per square foot. The price tag caught a few at the council table off guard, including Mayor Richard Stewart, who said during Monday’s meeting the facility appeared to be operating fine with its existing change rooms. “We are not always going to build everything with every possible element it can have,”

Monterrey, Mexico native Eduardo García has been juggling since he was 10 and performing professionally for 18 years. Last weekend, he performed with Circo Osorio under a tent in Coquitlam Centre.

he said. “None of our facilities are perfect. The difference between an excellent facility and a perfect facility can be hundreds of millions of dollars.” Monday’s budget request comes as part of the second phase of an arena conversion plan that turned what was previously curling ice into general use ice. The city has already spent $1.1 million adding boards and glass, a score clock and new ice cleaning equipment along with some building modifications, but said additional funds are necessary to complete the changeover. When the work is complete, there will be four new change rooms with showers plus two new flex change rooms, which could be used by referees. To accommodate the new space, up to 25 parking stalls will be removed. A staff report said additional change rooms would improve scheduling flexibility and provide more rental opportunities for the facility. see

Some would-be electric vehicle owners face a condo conundrum Stratas & EV owners in condos entering uncharted territory

“It’s one of those things where technology has outpaced our building systems.”

Diane StranDberg dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Tony Gioventu Exec. Director, Condominium Home Owners Association

Second of three parts

ive in a condo or townhouse? Want to switch to an electric vehicle (EV)? It might not be as simple as just trading in your gas-powered car. Older condo complexes will find it difficult to accommodate electric vehicle charging stations without an expensive electric upgrade. And EV buyers will need signed letters of accommodation before purchasing a unit, warns the Condominium Home Owners Association (CHOA). While Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam now require rough-ins for Level 2 or higher electric vehicle charging for all new units, condo and townhome complexes that were built before those regulations were in place may not have the capacity to install chargers. And while it isn’t impossible to retrofit to accommodate electric vehicles, it is challenging, says Tony Gioventu, CHOA’s executive director. “It can be a big part of modernizing buildings,” Gioventu said. The cost of upgrading electrical capacity to handle the extra load can cost as much as $100,000 or more, an investment owners of older buildings may not want to consider,

chargers, Shield decided make the move to electric. “Budget-wise and needwise, I’m sure it will fit the bill,” Shield told The Tri-City News. While he acknowledged he is lucky the strata council allowed him to use the outlet at his stall, he noted another EV driver had a similar deal previously, making it possible for him to give up his older Toyota.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES: PART 3

Do you have a right to charge? Check out next week’s Tri-City News for more info especially for just one or two EV owners. But there are ways around this challenge, according to Gioventu. He said his strata started by spending approximately $45,000 to upgrade to energysaving LED lighting, which is saving building owners approximately $56,000 a year in utility fees at the same time as freeing up electrical capacity for six 240-volt electric car charging stations. “Some buildings are making modifications and are al-

lowing electric car charging stations,” said Gioventu, who pointed out that LED lighting is not only cheaper but provides for greater visibility in parkades and stairwells while emission-free and noise-free EVs can enhance livability in underground parking lots. Gioventu said there are ways to deal with some of the costs of upgrades but stratas need to explore their options, and it’s important for condo owners wishing to purchase EVs to first make sure they

have a place to charge their vehicle.

a green DeCiSiOn

One Port Moody driver has found a work-around that satisfied his strata council and enabled him to purchase a low-mileage 2016 Nissan Leaf. Bob Shield noticed he had a 110-volt plug — suitable for trickle charging — at his parking stall in his condo complex at Newport Village, and wrote his strata council asking for permission to use it to charge an EV. The council approved a $30 monthly fee to use the outlet to charge his car, and with many strategically placed ChargePoint chargers in the city for additional top-up, and an employer planning to install

But not all stratas are willing to make changes and investments necessary, said Gioventu, so it’s important that buyers get in writing whether electric car charging will be allowed. “People who are buying into condos with electric vehicles without first checking whether their building has a station or can get a station — or they’re living in a condo and they go out and purchase an electric vehicle — and they’re being told by whoever sold them the vehicle the strata has to put in a charging station, that’s not true, [stratas] don’t have to put in a charging station,” Gioventu said. In fact, for many older condo complexes, it can be cost-prohibitive to put in charging stations because of the requirement to upgrade electrical capacity to handle

the extra load. “It’s one of those things where technology has outpaced our building systems,” he said. On the other hand, some apartment residents see EVs as the way of the future and new regulations have made it possible for strata corporations to charge a user fee the electric service and the long-term capital cost. “They can set a bylaw or a rule that has a user fee attached to it and the user fee charges for reasonable consumption and a surcharge fee for the eventual costs of what the upgrades will be. They don’t have to pay for this overnight.” Gioventu said he knows of apartments in New Westminster and Burnaby where residents found the investment was reasonable given a longer payback. “I think the complications are electrical capacity in the building and the modifications that have to be done,” he said And while some stratas may not want to accommodate the changes now, they may be more willing to do so in the future as regulations, enforcement, incentives and a cultural shift make it more feasible to make the switch to EV cars in the years to come.

Traps set, parts of Mundy closed due to bear family

Some councillors want to wait on work continued from front page

Good candidates for relocation, says conservation officer Gary McKenna gmckenna@tricitynews.com

A trap has been set for a family of black bears in Mundy Park that conservation officers said could be good candidates for relocation. Certain parts of the park have been closed to the public while officials work to safely capture the sow and two yearling cubs, which have been active in the area for more than a month. “Please respect these closures,” the BC Conservation Officer Service (BCCOS) said in a statement to The Tri-City News. “The family unit has received food rewards from unattended picnic baskets and backpacks.” When bears become habituated to human food, it can be difficult for them to relocate to the wild. But there may still be hope for the Mundy bruin family, according to BCCOS. “The bears are conditioned to human food but may be suitable candidates for shortdistance relocation,” said the statement. BCCOS said it has been working closely with the city of Coquitlam to deal with

the Mundy bears and added that any sightings or conflicts should be reported as soon as possible to the Report All Poachers and Polluters line at 1-877-952-7277. It has been a busy 2019 for bear activity in the Tri-Cities. According to data from the provincial Wildlife Alert Reporting Program (WARP), the number of sightings in Coquitlam is up from 283 at this point in 2018 to 413 this year. But Verne Kucy, the city’s environmental project manager, said that does not neces-

sarily mean there are more bears in Coquitlam, noting, “One bear can generate a lot of calls.” Residents appear to be doing a better job of securing garbage and animal attractants, he said, adding the number of fines issued under the city’s solid waste bylaw has dropped dramatically. “And it is not for a lack of change in the level of effort for patrolling,” Kucy said. “We have tried to be consistent… The number of residents in Coquitlam in compliance with the solid waste bylaw is getting

better and better.” The city of Port Moody has also seen a jump in WARP reports, up from 68 in 2018 to 161 in 2019, while Port Coquitlam has seen a drop from 202 in 2018 to 151 in 2019. While it is still early in the bear season, three bruins have already been destroyed in the Tri-Cities — one in Coquitlam and two in Anmore. In all three cases, the bears were causing property damage and relocation was not an option. “They had hit that threshold and were a safety risk,” BCCOS Sgt. Todd Hunter said in May.

“The conversion… to general usage has been well used and programmed even without change rooms as it has been used for a range of programs not requiring support services,” said the report. “Nevertheless, these amenities would still be highly beneficial to support future arena use, hosting of tournaments and to optimize ice allocation for all user groups.” Still, four council members were not convinced and voted against moving the project forward. Coun. Brent Asmundson said he would like to wait another year for the completion of the city’s arena strategy and see how the usage numbers settle for the converted rink. Coun. Craig Hodge concurred with Asmundson, noting that the new ice could be dedicated for public use, which does not require change rooms, while the other two rinks could be used for sporting events. “What I do know is that if we don’t do it today, we are not eliminating the possibility of doing it next year,” he said. Coun. Dennis Marsden spoke in favour of the

coun. craiG hodGe

proposal, saying that user groups have told the city that there is a need for more amenities at the facility. Adding the change rooms would optimize the use of the new rink and ensure it was properly utilized. “We want to be able to hold our heads high and say we have great facilities,” he said. In the end, council voted in favour of the proposal, with the mayor and councillors Asmundson, Hodge and Teri Towner voting against the plan. Staff will now move ahead with the final design and budget for the project, which is expected to come back to council in September. The project is expected to be completed in fall 2020.

PoCo problems, Qs? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a no. for that

Rec centre accident plus booze for breakfast at two eateries

See It? Report It line for bylaw enforcement and inquiries JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

The city of Vancouver last month marked 10 years since it launched its 311 contact centre, a service aimed to help residents with municipal services and issues. Now, the city of Port Coquitlam is following suit with its similar See It? Report It program â&#x20AC;&#x201D; timed as civic staff step up enforcement patrols for smoking and animal control. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know our staff canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be everywhere at all times so we appreciate our residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; help by reporting problems they come across,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Brad West said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The faster we know of a problem, the more proactive we can be about addressing it. Residents and business owners can call the See It? Report It hotline at 604-9273111 to be directed to the correct city department: public works, bylaw, etc. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be nobody around to take the calls in person after regular working hours. Instead, callers can leave a message for staff to follow up the next business day (road, water or sewer

emergencies will be handled by the public works dispatch service 24/7). Problems can also be logged any time via portcoquitlam.ca/report or, for garbage/recycling/organics issues, the PoCo Waste-Line app (portcoquitlam.ca/ wasteline). Pardeep Purewal, PoCoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communications manager, said while reports of potholes, off-leash dogs and smoking in parks are encouraged, the public shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call the hotline if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an immediate danger such as a fire, downed power lines or a car crash â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for those, residents should call 911. As well, complaints or concerns about general city- and customer servicerelated issues like permit requests or budget items shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go through the hotline. No extra funds were spent on the program rollout and existing staff will be used to handle the calls. Still, city managers will monitor the response and â&#x20AC;&#x153;if we find that there is an increase in demand for services or increased use of the [WasteLine] app, we will review the need to bring forward a request to council for additional resources as required,â&#x20AC;? Purewal said. In the past decade, Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 311 hotline has taken 7.75 million calls.

PoCo power lines were struck in an April 8 incident JANIS CLEUGH jcleugh@tricitynews.com

A month after a crane accident at the building site for the new Port Coquitlam Community Centre, the company in charge of the megaconstruction project had another potentially serious incident. The information about the second violation came to public light last week in a report from Tango, the project managers handling the downtown recreation complex rebuild on behalf of the city. In its April-May Community Centre update for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee of council last Tuesday, Tango noted a dump truck with a raised box hit overhead lines on Kelly Avenue April 8. Nobody was hurt. No one from Ventana, the design/builders, was immediately available for comment but a WorkSafeBC document obtained by The Tri-City News Wednesday states the incident took place before 9:30 a.m. when the driver was leaving the city lot for Kelly Avenue, east of Kingsway Avenue. All three employers related to the incident â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the prime contractor, Ventana

Two businesses in Port Coquitlam will be able to serve alcohol at breakfast. Last week, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee of council approved a bid by De Dutch Pannekoek House to pour booze starting at 7 a.m. It also permitted an extension of hours to the Carnoustie Golf Club liquor primary licence, from 9 a.m. The approvals will be forwarded to the provincial Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch for consideration.

NEXT STEP FOR ANdRéS WESTPORT dEvELOPmENT

The proposed vision for the former Andrés Wine site in Port Moody will go before a public hearing later this month. The Westport Village proposal from property owner Andrew Peller Ltd. calls for 10 buildings, the tallest being 31 storeys, on the 1.5-hectare former industrial site. It would contain a mix of condos, rental units, seniors’ housing, light industrial, retail and commercial space, a boutique hotel, arts centre, an arts village and daycare. Tuesday, council passed first and second readings of the application to change the official community plan to give the development its own zoning designation with several stipulations specific to the land. It is scheduled to go to a public hearing July 23. Sixteen people have already had a say on the project. During the public input session prior to Tuesday’s meeting, they all spoke in support with only minimal concerns. The speakers included Peter Kobayashi, chair of the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce’s government relations committee; environmentalist Ruth Foster, and Brian Wormald, past president of the Port Moody Ecological Society. Foster and Wormald are backing the proposal because it proposes restoring the riparian areas of Schoolhouse Creek South as well as other environmental improvements.

Rental regs proposal goes to task force Council has concerns city would be overstepping jurisdiction GRANT GRANGER ggranger@tricitynews.com

Port Moody is going to reboot the city’s affordable housing task force to explore whether the city can mandate minimum standards of maintenance in rental buildings and enact an anti-renoviction bylaw. At Tuesday’s meeting, Coun. Amy Lubik proposed council ask city staff to develop the maintenance standards by

COUN. AMY LUBIK

emulating bylaws developed in New Westminster and Victoria, and also look to New West and

Port Coquitlam for guidance on an anti-renoviction bylaw. But the rest of council decided on a different route. Following a complaint from one tenant who approached her, she said, Lubik wrote a report noting tenants can be exposed to pests, mould, drafts and other health issues because units aren’t maintained. She said they often don’t complain because the lack of choice and affordability has “a silencing effect.” Lubik suggested enforcement would likely require adding only a half-time employee. But other councillors balked at burdening staff with devel-

oping regulations that already may be in place either provincially or in building codes. Coun. Diana Dilworth said although Lubik’s proposal is “very solid on its good intentions” it may be more appropriate for tenants to go to the province’s Residential Tenancy Branch with their concerns. “Quite frankly, the jurisdiction is in the bailiwick of the provincial government,” Dilworth said, asking, “Are we developing another level of government here?” Dilworth said it would be difficult to balance the rights of tenants and property owners. She also pointed out Port

Moody’s percentage of rental stock is much lower than those in New West or Victoria. “It’s just very different,” said Dilworth. “It’s a lot more complex and it’s not going to be as simple as adopting another city’s [bylaws].” Fire Chief Ron Coulson pointed out to council his department does annual fire and safety inspections of all rental buildings in Port Moody. Coun. Meghan Lahti said she appreciated Lubik’s intent but couldn’t support asking staff to spend “an exorbitant amount of time” just because Lubik received one complaint from a renter.

“I just don’t believe this is a priority for this city right now. It is not pressing, and I don’t believe we should be sending staff out on developing a bylaw. I think there are plenty of places in the province that we can refer to,” said Lahti. Lahti noted while the city’s affordable housing task force has not been disbanded, it hasn’t met since the municipal election last October. She proposed council appoint three new council members to the task force and have it meet to discuss both issues raised by Lubik separately, a motion supported by the rest of council.

OPPOSING VIEWS

Topic: Paying B.C. teachers more

“Better quality teachers may be attracted to higher wages. With cost of living here so high and wages lower than areas with lower cost of living, it doesn’t make B.C. competitive.”

“Here’s a tip to the BCTF: If you want a raise, give students the teachers that earned it. You need better quality control (but of course, you wouldn’t be interested in that).”

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

W E E K LY O N L I N E P O L L

No rush on B.C. teachers’ deal (also, pay them a lot more)

Last Week t

This is no time to go backwards on class size and composition THE TRI-CITY NEWS newsroom@tricitynews.com

ake all the time you want. That’s the best advice for the negotiating teams of the BC Public School Employers Association and the BC Teachers’ Federation that are trying to hammer out a collective agreement. As the clock has run out on a six-year agreement, both sides have issues they want dealt with and it’s going to take time to wade through them all. No one wants a work stoppage and, with education at a crossroads, it’s important for both sides to take time necessary to come out with something lasting and solid.

(And yes it’s tempting to bargain in the media, but probably best not to at least for now.) Against this backdrop are concerns that the province is changing its funding formula that could seriously hamper districts, such as School District 43, in their ability to provide proper supports for students with special needs. One of the suggested changes would be to move to a prevalence model, which would see districts funded based on an average of students rather than numbers of enrolled students with identified special needs. Moving to this model would likely reduce funding to SD43, which is seeing increasing numbers of students who need extra supports. As well, the two sides are going to have to deal with class size and composition, for which numbers were restored to 2002 levels by a Supreme

Court of Canada ruling. Some language tweaks may be necessary but numbers must not be rolled back. In fact, composition — the number of students with identified special needs in a classroom — may have to be lowered further, and more professional development given, more specialist teachers and assistants hired, so teachers can give students the support they need. There are now more students with identified special needs in schools than ever before and we know how important it is to have realistic and workable class size and supports for inclusion to work in our local schools. With increasingly stressful and complex classrooms, including more issues of mental health, and behaviour problems, schools need more supports not less to ensure students are successful. How to do all this?

First, pay teachers more — much more. B.C. has become an increasingly unlivable place, thanks to crazy housing prices. If this province wants to attract the best educators, it will need to pay them well. Currently, B.C. teachers are among the lowest paid in Canada and SD43 teachers are paid thousands less than their counterparts in Alberta. Could giving teachers more than the 2% pay increase under the provincial government’s sustainable mandate help? Maybe a little, but the entire salary grid needs to be updated to further encourage professional development and to ensure teachers are not second-class citizens in their own country. Will it cost more to educate the next generation of students? Yes. But if an educated workforce is key to economic success, then paying teachers more is worth every penny.

Should the Union of BC Municipalities cancel a reception paid for by China?

YES

Answers in ancient Athens

People, no pooping beside the PoCo Trail

The Editor, Re. “Cancel Chinasponsored even and come clean about others” (editorial, Opinion, The Tri-City News, July 4) and “West has every right to voice his opinion on China” (Letters, The Tri-City News, July 4). I agree that it is time for politics to be done differently and putting an end to foreign and domestic influence peddling — such as that of the Chinese government-sponsored reception at the annual Union of BC Municipalities convention — would be laudable. But doing so will do little to sway the cynical and disaffected among us towards participation and positive

action, nor will it succeed in engaging the youth. In order to foster a spirit of inclusiveness, cooperation and positivity, a greater difference will be needed. For that difference, we should look to ancient Athens, the progenitor of Western society. Laying aside what constituted a citizen two and a half thousand years ago, all of Hellas scoffed at the stupidity of Athens and its new political system that was to be run directly by the citizenry. Only a privileged few were capable of directing the affairs of state, insisted the rulers outside the purview of the Athenians. But Athenians had other ideas,

and with the technology of writing firmly in hand, they set about changing the course of history, bringing about a golden age that still touches us to this day. We stand now at the same threshold our Grecian forebears stood, with an educated population and the technological means to organize in large numbers and document proceedings. It was not for nothing that Plato would rather die than be cast out of Athens, for it was the only place in the world where being a citizen truly meant one was emancipated, that one was not a slave. We in Canada are at one of those special moments

in time when cultural and technological advancement may converge to create a great leap forward, to create a new golden age. If we can create social democracy networks — perhaps not unlike the many examples of social networks we currently have online — where we can meaningfully and fully take part in the political process, we can see true emancipation in our time and we can act with courage and certainty, safe in the knowledge that we are not being manipulated by strongmen, big money, polls or corporate interests but, rather, that each of us has a voice and the agency to use it. Simon Postma, Coquitlam

The Editor, I live across the street from a section of the Traboulay PoCo Trail. I have a plain view of all the action. I frequent the trail myself, walking and cycling. My issue is people using the bushes as an outdoor toilet.

It’s not only ridiculous and rude, it’s unsanitary. As well, when the weather warms up, one can smell urine. Seriously people, either use a bathroom before you go out or find one of the park facilities. M. Zantolas, Port Coquitlam

Couldn’t B.C. workers have done this work? The Editor, Why, we wonder, did FortisBC find it necessary to hire Michels, an Albertabased contractor, to totally mess up traffic and ruin Como

Lake Avenue’s recently repaved surface? Do we not have contractors in British Columbia who are capable of the job? G.W. Baskett, Coquitlam

Fellner first female OIC for Coq. RCMP 23-year Mountie comes to Coquitlam, PoCo from Mission GARy MCKennA The Tri-City news

Coquitlam RCMP’s newest officer-in-charge has been around the Red Serge a lot longer than her 23 years in policing might suggest. Insp. Annette Fellner grew up in Regina, where her mother oversaw custodial services at the RCMP Academy Depot Division — the school where would-be Mounties from across Canada go to train. As a family member of a civilian employee, a five-yearold Fellner had special access to the facility and remembers taking swim lessons at the academy’s pool and skating lessons on its ice rink. “I spent my childhood at our training academy,” she told The Tri-City News, adding: “I was introduced very young.” While she decided to become a police officer after leaving high school, she said seeing Mounties at the depot in their red uniforms on parade or during their musical rides left an impression. “You think this looks amazing and you want to be part of that,” she said. “From a young age… I was seeing it and getting socialized to that world.” Fellner graduated from the academy in 1996 and took up her first posting in Surrey, where she spent eight years. In 2004, she transferred back home to Saskatchewan, where she taught at the academy for four years, before moving to Manitoba, where she was promoted to the Federal Serious Organized Crime unit. In Manitoba, Fellner assisted in developing the Peer-to-Peer program, which provides support to officers

dealing with anything from life changes to mental health issues. During that period, she was also part of rolling out the Respectful Workplace program, an initiative designed to promote respect and inclusivity in the RCMP. The effort was part of a cultural change within the police force, one Fellner, who is the first female OIC at the detachment that serves Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and the villages, said she has watched evolve over the course of her career. As a cadet, she said she would not have pictured herself in a leadership role in the RCMP, noting that while there were some woman at higher levels, today, “the representation is different.” “I think definitely… there are more female role models at a higher level now than what we have seen when I joined in the 1990s,” she said. “Having those opportunities as females and showing that we have the opportunities to do those roles in the organization, it is exciting to be able to do that.” After Fellner’s stay in Manitoba, she made her way back to the west coast, where she worked as a regional duty officer out of Green Timbers in Surrey. Before long, she took a posting as OIC with Mission RCMP, where she spent a couple of years before moving into her current role in Coquitlam. Since unpacking her new office, she said she has been meeting with elected officials and community stakeholders. The engagement is important for her to understand what is going on in the area and what issues she will need to address. “Having that connection and making sure I understand the concerns of what is going on here,” she said, “my day-today is just immersing myself in that… Being able to be part of this community and having this role here is really exciting.”

Fortunately, I was recommended to try Laser Therapy – what a blessing! After 10 treatments, I am able to walk pain free. What a relief! M.B. (71) Strained ligament... It was like a miracle! Instead of my foot healing super slowly, it healed in just over a week!concerns. K.D. Shoulder and arm pain ..the benefit to my shoulder is so surprising that I am continually moving, stretching my arm just to prove to myself that I am not imagining what I am feeling and doing. Moving without pain! That is something to be happy about. A.B. (58)

Keep your furry friends cool & safe – out of cars Don’t leave your pets in cars during even warm weather — you could end up killing them

SignS of HeatStroKe

SOURCE: BC SPCA

any pet owners don’t seem to learn. That’s why the BC SPCA has launched a campaign to combat some people’s practice of leaving pets in parked vehicles on hot days, despite many public warnings over many years. The SPCA crusade is called #NoHotPets and it urges owners to keep their pets at home, outlines the dangers to dogs and other pets in hot cars, provides steps to take for anyone who sees an animal in distress and provides free decals to spread the word. “Every year our constables receive hundreds of calls to rescue dogs in distress in hot vehicles,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of communications for the BC SPCA, in a press release. “Sadly, some dogs have already died by the time we are called. “It is so tragic because it is a completely preventable death. “Even on a cloudy day, parked in the shade

tri-CitY neWS fiLe PHoto

with the windows rolled down, a vehicle can reach temperatures that put animals in peril in just 10 minutes. Dogs can’t release heat from their bodies in the same way that humans can — they can only dissipate heat by panting and through the pads of their paws — so their internal temperatures reach dangerous levels very quickly.” She added even if the air conditioning is left on, there’s no guarantee the pet is safe because AC systems “have been known to break down, with tragic results.”

Signs of heatstroke in dogs include exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting), rapid or erratic pulse, salivation, anxious or staring expression, weakness and muscle tremors, lack of coordination, convulsions or vomiting, and collapse. If the animal is showing signs of heatstroke and it is possible to safely and lawfully move the animal out of the vehicle, do the following: • Move the animal to a cool, shady place. • Wet the animal with cool water. Do not apply ice as this will constrict blood flow and discourage cooling. • Fan the animal to promote evaporation. This cools the blood, helping to reduce the animal’s core temperature. • Allow the animal to drink some cool water (or to lick ice cream if no water is available). • Take the dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible for further treatment.

The BC SPCA advises people who spot an animal in a hot car to: • Note the licence plate, vehicle colour, make and model, and ask managers of nearby businesses to page the owner to return to their vehicle immediately. • If the animal is in distress, call the police, RCMP, local animal control agency or the BC SPCA call centre at 1-855-622-7722 as soon as possible. The call centre is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Emergencies outside of those hours should be reported to the local police department or RCMP. Chortyk also had some advice on what not to do. “Members of the public should not attempt to break a window to free a pet themselves. Not only can this be dangerous for the animals if they are struck by glass, but it is also illegal and puts the Good Samaritan on the wrong side of the law,” said Chortyk, who encouraged the public to keep the call centre number in their phones for easy access in an emergency. • To learn more or to order a #NoHotPets decal, go to spca.bc.ca/nohotpets.

Nominate

• Lady Lily, 76 years old, came to this clinic complaining of ten years of Migraine headaches. She tried to get help from her family doctor and was given a medication for two pills a day and now had taken a total of ten pills. Acupuncture treatment was done on her over five visits and now her symptoms are gone and she feels no more migraine headaches. • Mr. Daniel, an eighty one year old gentleman, who is living in Coquitlam was suffering from an enlarged prostate gland. This is a general phenomenon with older men. He suffers from frequent visits to the bathroom, mostly at night, sometimes up to ten times a night. After three visits to this clinic together with Chinese herbal medicine, he felt the symptom had gone and he doesn’t have the urgency to visit the bathroom as often. • P. Chew, 88 years old, was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up and sleep alright, but couldn’t sit. If he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him. He was given drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop & come to me. Now he is free from the problem & lives happily.

Yoga instructor ready for her closeup — at age 75 Seniors ‘can still live an inspiring, adventurous and active life’ MaRIO BaRTEL mbartel@tricitynews.com

va Stone loves life and driving fast. She’s about to find out how those blend with film stardom. The 75-year-old Coquitlam resident credits the former with the inner peace and self-awareness she has developed over 20 years as a yoga instructor at the Port Moody rec complex. The latter she blames on her black Nissan 350z sports car. The stardom may come from her part in a new docu-

Ava Stone, 75, is a yoga instructor at Port Moody rec complex who’s also a subject of a new award-winning documentary film, The Fit Generation. MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

mentary film that profiles several active seniors, among

them an 85-year-old ski instructor in Whistler and a

champion ultra-marathoner of the same age from Richmond. The Fit Generation has already won several awards at festivals in Nice, London, San Francisco and Berlin. Last Sunday, it had its Canadian premiere at the VanCity Theatre in Vancouver. Stone said her involvement in the project came about when one of her students mentioned the fun and vitality she brings to her yoga classes to the film’s director and producer, Elton Hubner. Though reluctant at first to participate, she said he attended one of her classes and was won over. “The film’s key message is that if you keep your mind and body active, you can still live an inspiring, adventurous and

incredibly active life,” Hubner said. Stone does just that. She teaches yoga four hours a week to classes as large as 50 people — of all ages. She said she works hard to ensure they all leave the session laughing and feeling better about life. “It’s a real joy,” said Stone, who first started practising yoga in the 1970s. “I have a good audience to work with.” Stone said over the course of more than three years, Hubner and his crew filmed in her class, at her home, in her garden and, of course, in her beloved sports car. She said the presence of the camera didn’t diminish her gift for the gab that energizes her yoga. “I just talk whatever comes

into my head,” she said, “although sometimes I wish I looked better or said something else.” Stone said being a part of the film has presented her with a platform to get her message to a broader audience. “I can create my way,” she said. “It’s a whole new life.” That’s fine with Hubner. “We want younger generations to be inspired by the stars of the film and to see the possibilities that are available to them in their years to come,” he said. Stone said she’s taking her imminent stardom in stride. “When you just enjoy yourself, things fall into place.” • To find out more about the film, go to thefitgeneration.ca.

BOOK OF THE WEEK

n Me, Myself, They: Life Beyond the Binary by Joshua M. Ferguson n Reviewed by Vanessa Colantonio, Coquitlam Public Library

Me, Myself, They: Life Beyond the Binary, the critically acclaimed memoir by non-binary trans activist and writer Joshua M. Ferguson, was published earlier this year on May 7. Exactly one year before that, in 2018, they became the first person in Ontario to receive an “X” designation on their birth certificate — one of the first such recipients in the world. Ferguson’s memoir covers their life growing up in Brantford exploring their gender identity as well as having hostility visited upon them in the form of bullying, assault and conversion therapy. Ferguson’s book is prism-like in its depiction of a multifaceted life: a non-binary person, an author, a filmmaker, an advocate, a survivor. As they point out in the introduction: “My non-binary trans identity is a part of me, a part of me that I lost, but I want to present the wholeness of my identity, my life and my humanity, beyond the subject of my gender identity and how I express myself.” Ferguson’s storytelling in Me, Myself, They is circular: Born as Joshua, after a long journey with many trials and tribulations, they rediscover themselves as Joshua. Me, Myself, They is an inspirational book for any reader. Check out this moving memoir from your local library.

SHOP LOCAL

Fresh & fruity at farmers’ markets N ow that we are well and truly into the summer market season, it’s time to introduce all the amazing new vendors we have. Every year, the market grows, bringing in new and often innovative vendors, cementing the ability for us to truly shop local. Award-winning honey vendors BCB Honey Farm will be with us this year, ensuring a regular supply for the market. Try mixing some honey into a vinaigrette to drizzle over a salad with mixed micro greens from Food on the Grow. If plant-based eating is your thing, then you can add some vegan cheese to the salad from Black Sheep Vegan Cheeza — delish! And speaking of vegan eating, PlantBase Food and Specialties is joining us this year, and I can speak from experience when I say they make fabulous food. But if meat is what you want, we at the market are super excited to have both Tesfa and Reverent Acres with us the summer. You may remember them from the winter market: Both farms raise water buffalo, a great alternative to beef, and

THE RECIPE: SALAD NICOISE

Here is a recipe for the classic Salad Nicoise, perfect for this time of year. The original recipe comes from Martha Stewart but I have adapted it to take advantage of our local vendors.

the dairy products are easier to digest if you have a lactose sensitivity due to the different protein found in the milk. 3J’s Smokehouse rounds out the proteins with fabulous jerky products if you are looking for a little something to nibble on. Bakers are always popular at market, and this year we have some great new ones. Metate Bake shop make traditional Mexican pastries such as pan dulce and a host of other beautiful treats. Sometimes, all you need is a perfect cookie and Stephanie’s Kitchen can fix that for you. Salted White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal, anyone? While not exactly a baker, the Bannock Queen certainly takes

care of those carb cravings, serving up bannock in truly inventive ways. If you want your treats to have health benefits, Back to Roots Kitchen brings their plant-based energy bites to us. Delicious little bites of nutrition are perfect when you just need a little something. But if you need a little something more, Whey Fresco has energy bars that are a meal by themselves, plus they have keto bars. Of course, all that eating is likely to make you thirsty. Five new beverage vendors have joined the market this year. CraftWilder, Hoochy ’Booch and Sajiva all make kombucha. Each brings its own unique take on this healthy beverage so you

2/3 cup olive oil, plus more for tuna Juice of 2 lemons 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 shallot, finely chopped 2 teaspoons anchovy paste 1 tablespoon capers, finely chopped Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 8 large hard boiled eggs, peeled and cut in half (Central Park or Rockweld Farms) 1/2 pound haricots verts, blanched, then drizzled with wine vinegar (Crisp Organics) and (Cawston Market Farmer) 8 baby potatoes, cooked till tender (Forstbauer) 1 head red leaf lettuce (Aslan Organics) 1 head Boston lettuce 1 pint red and yellow cherry tomatoes (Never Say Die) 3 (6-ounce) jars imported tuna in olive oil, drained 1/2 cup smoked olives (Fume-eh)

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, shallot, anchovy paste, and capers. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside Toss lettuces with some of the anchovy-caper dressing and place on large serving platter. Toss potatoes, haricots verts, and cherry tomatoes separately with dressing and arrange over lettuce. Arrange tuna over salad and drizzle with dressing. Garnish salad with eggs and olives.

are sure to find one you like. If kombucha isn’t your thing, Canoe Cola has crafted a line of tasty sodas and Happy Dani has the tea ground covered. If you want to cook something at home from all those fabulous fresh veggies you’ve bought, make sure you stop at John Spice and Sriracha Revolver for a little something extra to spice up your cooking. John Spice is a multi-purpose seasoning mix, great for grilling, and Sriracha Revolver makes unique, clean hot sauces (my personal fave is the mango). Rounding out the new vendor list are Fraser Valley Rose Farm, Boneheads Kitchen (treats for your four-legged friends), pottery from Happy Turtle Studio and candles from Cedar and Oak Soy Candle Company. You truly can get all your shopping done at market, And don’t forget the Port Coquitlam Farmers Market is open, too, every Thursday from 3 to 7 p.m. at Leigh Square. Karen Curtis is the Lemonade Lady (kicslemonade.ca and kicslemonade.blogspot.ca) at the Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam farmers markets. Her column runs monthly.

Two more board directors were recently added to the Coquitlam Foundation roster. Iris Sun and Hazel Joomratty are now part of the philanthropy group that gives out thousands of dollars each year to charitable and school groups as well as bursaries to students.

Sun has worked in the non-profit sector for a decade while Coquitlam newcomer Joomratty works as the senior controller/director for a tech company.

Two top administrators at Port Coquitlam city hall are on their way out. Development services director Laura Lee Richard and Fire Chief Nick Delmonico will retire later this year; the city is now recruiting for their replacements. Richard started as PoCo’s planning manager in 2005 and was promoted to the top department job three years later following the departure of Kim Fowler. Richard won’t be stepping down until a new hire has been found. Delmonico, who served 32 years with Vancouver Fire Rescue Services and eight in PoCo, will leave his position in September, a city spokesperson said.

The Port Coquitlam Senior Citizens’ Housing Society received $41,000 from the city last month to update its Dogwood Mews site. The municipal cash for the capital project at 3155 Seymour St. will come from the Special Needs Housing Reserve. The non-profit group is building a 41-unit retirement complex for low-income seniors. The complex will be next to the 24-unit Dogwood Manor and rents will average $840 a month. Construction is expected to cost $13.2 million, which will also be offset by a $6-million grant from BC Housing. Prior to the funding approval, the city had $374,719 in its Special Needs Housing Reserve. For more photos follow us on Instagram #tricitynews

Speak up on transit future How do you expect to commute to work in 30 years? Or meet with friends in another city? Or get to shops and restaurants across town? TransLink is asking Metro Vancouver residents to share their thoughts about regional movement as it develops Transport 2050, a blueprint for transportation to help guide decisions. Its survey, at transport2050.ca, is the first phase for planning and takes 10 minutes to complete; it’s also available in Chinese (simplified and traditional) and Punjabi. “We want to hear from everyone across the region and

that includes Port Coquitlam residents,” said TransLink spokesperson Lida Paslar. “We’re asking about what people value and what their transportation priorities are so we can shape a new vision.” TransLink is also calling for bold ideas relating to driverless cars, ride hailing, eScooters and eBikes, and the expansion of the rapid-transit line to eastern suburbs like PoCo. The agency will review the survey feedback after the September deadline and add it to Phase 2, when TransLink will ask residents next spring to filter the suggestions.

Terry Fox Secondary Class of 2019

THANKS

The parents and students of the Terry Fox Secondary Class of 2019 would like to express our sincere appreciation to the many generous sponsors, businesses and individuals who kindly supported us throughout this year and helped to make our After Grad on May 24th an overwhelming success! We are grateful for your sponsorships, donations of food, services and prizes, especially as we know you are approached daily by every school, team and event in our neighbourhood. We hope we have taught our kids to recognize and respect this and they will one day be as supportive of the youth in their communities as you have been to them.

We also thank our neighbours, friends and families and Terry Fox Secondary staff for kindly buying our rafﬂe tickets, attending our fundraisers and dropping off empties to the Bottle drive. An event such as After Grad is only possible with signiﬁcant community support and we are truly grateful. It means so much that as a group we were able to honour and contribute to two causes dear to our hearts – “Bonne Terre Haiti & the Terry Fox Foundation.”

Please remember these businesses when you are out in the community. OUR SINCERE THANKS TO:

Let there be light (and other natural resources) Mantle, a new group exhibit at Evergreen, to open Saturday janis cleugh jcleugh@tricitynews.com

Three years ago, when Kevin Michael Murphy was preparing his master’s thesis at the University of Guelph, he took a road trip to the Oil Museum of Canada in Oil Springs, Ont. The aim of his environmental studio art was to record the journey — in a single take — by focusing solely on the sun, the source of energy that once fuelled the living organisms that are now drilled out as oil. As passenger, the former Coquitlam resident travelled the 2.5-hour distance a few times, using various methods to capture the bright light and some landscapes along the way. At one point, he even mounted a sled on the top of the vehicle for the camera position. But it was a suction cup on the roof, which he secured with his hand the entire way, that proved to have the best quality for the continuous shoot. The result “is a central

image that becomes really kind of entrancing,” Murphy said Monday from his home in Toronto. “To cut it or interrupt it would do a disservice to the video because I wanted to mirror the trip.” The pilgrimage in a gas guzzler to the site of the first commercial oil well in North America is part of a larger group exhibit that opens Saturday at the Art Gallery at Evergreen. Titled Mantle, the

show is not only a creative investigation into the energy source and the origins of petroleum but, also, a reflection of human connection to ecology over time. Curator Katherine Dennis, who knew Murphy while studying visual art at UBC, also assembled works from four other artists with Lower Mainland links, using Lafarge Lake (a decommissioned Lafarge Canada sand and

gravel quarry) as her backdrop for the display, which touches on “geology, resource extraction, Indigenous knowledges and deep time.” Besides Murphy’s Sun Machine video, Dennis selected Diyan Achjadi’s Drift, a drawing and print installation that spans 30 feet and includes images of land formations, clouds and insects. Dennis put Sean Alward’s Liquid Mountain on the opposite wall, a painted and print series that delves into the evolution of rock using pigment from clay scooped up along the Fraser River. Holly Schmidt’s Amalgamate is a sculpture made out of industrial runoff (rock dust made into mud, then turned into cob bricks) while signs of life by Tsema Igharas is a cairn also using rock material from a construction site and riverbed; it takes the form of a wool blanket. An Igharas photo, titled nose against the glass, that’s exhibited in the gallery’s front window, is from the artist’s Emergence series, which speaks of natural glass mined by the Tahitians and used for trade. Murphy said Dennis has gathered artistic pieces that speak to natural versus social

systems as well as “the elephant in the room”: climate change. For his video Sun Machine — which is projected onto the floor to figuratively show the sun burning into the Earth and mimicking the process of drilling an oil well — Murphy said, “It’s too easy to say [the oil industry] is an experiment gone awry but it’s the catalyst that’s taken where we are. I’m reluctant to see any of these things in black and white terms. “I think the outlook for humans is pretty worrying,” he added. “I think part of my project — and what I’m becoming more and more interested in — is imagining to try to step outside of ourselves…. That’s where I would locate the hope. “And my hope is that the rest will follow. I’m less hopeful about technological fixes that don’t encompass a paradigm shift but technological fixes can be part of the solution.” Kevin Michael Murphy and Holly Schmidt will give an artists’ talk at the Art Gallery at Evergreen (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) on Saturday at 2 p.m. The opening reception for Mantle is on July 17 at 6:30 p.m. Mantle is up until Sept. 1.

A long-distance cyclist’s checklist should include: • a tent; • clothing; • a sleeping bag; • and a drum set. Wait, what? The first three items are usually packed in a pannier on a bike rack. Not the last one. But Port Moody’s Chris Blaber has taken his snare drum, bass drum and cymbals along for the ride as he spreads the word about environmental conservation across British Columbia.

Despite turmoil back home there will be lots to celebrate for the Tri-City Iranian Cultural Society (TCICS) at its annual Tirgan summer festival at Town Centre Park on Sunday. And the group wants other cultures to come celebrate with them. Tirgan is an ancient Persian celebration, said society chair Behzad Abdi. It emerged following a boundary dispute between Iran and Turan — settled by an archer’s arrow — that brought the inclusion of other cultures to Iran. The settlement also coincided with heavy rain descending that day ending an eight-year drought in the area. That’s why splashing water is part of TCICS’s celebration, as is dance, music, food, art

Investment Advisor

Q: Why Diversify? A:

In a nutshell, diversification means you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have all your eggs in one investing basket, which may help protect you if any part of your portfolio falters. Here is an example, if you invest in just one company and the stock goes bust, then your portfolio will go bust. This is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;individual business riskâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which is added to the market risk represented by the daily ups and downs of the market. If you instead own 500 individual businesses and one goes bankrupt your portfolio wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go bust. I would rather see my clients own a small part of many businesses than 100% of one company. Being diversified also applies to the industries and asset classes you invest in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to consider not only being invested in different sectors of the economy, but also investing in a mix of stocks and bonds. Index funds are one way you might further diversify your portfolio because they can track both stock and bond indexes. Bottom line: The broader your portfolio is, the likelier you are to weather a market storm.

On a two-wheel tour continued from page

ing a performing arts company called Scrap Arts Music increased his passion for helping the environment by repurposing throwaway items. He put them all together for a one-hour, one-man show utilizing compositions by fellow Lower Mainland musicians to educate audiences. He started his journey by going up the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler, Pemberton and Lillooet before heading down to Kamloops and the Okanagan Valley. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing shows in the Vancouver area in the next couple of weeks, including one July 19 at the Gallery Bistro in his hometown of Port Moody. After that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off to Vancouver Island for a few weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to either do this stuff now or not do it,â&#x20AC;? Blaber said in a phone interview last week with The Tri-City News from the banks of the Similkameen River, just outside of Princeton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been ruminating for a long time, doing a cycling tour with music. And

Scrap Arts is what brought in the advocacy part And his climate change message is one many across B.C. can understand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out here just talking to people in the valley, the difference thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on with the fires and high water events,â&#x20AC;? said Blaber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those kind of events are always in the back of our minds that it could happen. It could happen now, or next year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scary stuff.â&#x20AC;? Blaber has done short bike trips before but nothing of this magnitude â&#x20AC;&#x201D; certainly not hauling 140 lb. of gear and musical instruments through the sand and gravel of the Kettle Valley Railway Trail. He preaches repurposing by demonstrating how adding small reusable objects to an instrument can create many different sounds. For instance, he collects bottle caps he finds at the homes of the people he stays with along the way and puts them on a string, then dangles them from his high-hat cymbal to create more of a rattle. He puts a bag of marbles on the other cymbal or a plastic

circle on his snare drum to get a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dryâ&#x20AC;? sound, which shortens up the sound of the thwack every time he hits them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually been amazing. At [one stop], they were really amazed at the amount of sounds that I could get out of my three instruments and I was able to maintain interest for the hour-long show,â&#x20AC;? said Blaber, who moved with his family to Port Moody when he was five years old and attended Glenayre and Moody elementary schools, then Coquitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gleneagle secondary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can go and find most of the info about climate change locally through science reports,â&#x20AC;? said Blaber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But my show is the emotional. I use music to create an emotional reaction to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That seems to be whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missing to the conversation. It feels too distant, feels too abstract. This seems like a different way to approach it that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been explored.â&#x20AC;?

Adanacs to battle T-men in Jr. lax semi-final Seriies to start at Poirier on Sunday grant granger ggranger@tricitynews.com

While the assumption could be made it will be another easy

road to BC Junior A Lacrosse League title for the Coquitlam Adanacs, that’s not the way they see it. The Coquitlam Adanacs are the defending Canadian junior lacrosse champions and have been in the Minto Cup final for five consecutive seasons, including also winning it in 2016.

The regular season ended Sunday with, guess who, on top? The Adanacs, of course, at 17-4, well ahead of a pack tied for second, Victoria Shamrocks, New Westminster Salmonbellies and Nanaimo Timbermen who were all 14-7. “After winning last year, we lost of few really key players …

so people really weren’t sure where we were going to be,” said Adanacs head coach Pat Coyle. “It feels like we’re just starting to get healthy and have our full lineup ready, so I’m excited to get started.” Starting Sunday (4 p.m.), the A’s will take on the T-men in one best-of-seven semifinal

while the ’Rocks and ’Bellies face off in the other. The winners will play a best-of-five final, although both will advance to the Minto Cup in Langley Aug. 15 to 26. Midway through the regular season, Coquitlam and Nanaimo played a three-game mini series in less than a week.

In Nanaimo, the Timbermen toppled the Adanacs 8-7 on May 31 and 9-8 the next night before the A’s won 17-12 June 5 in Coquitlam. So they won’t be taking the T-men lightly. If they do, they’ve only got themselves to blame, according to Coyle. see

PoMo Selects snag U18 soccer crown The Port Moody 01 AC Selects won their fourth provincial title in five years by downing the Upper Island Riptide 5-1 in the Provincial A Cup under-18 boys soccer final in Surrey on Sunday. The team, coached by club technical director and former Vancouver Whitecap Johnny Sulentic, had previously won the U16 (2017), U15 (2016) and U14 (2015) provincial A cup champions. Carsen Maurice, Aaron Colbourne, Patrick Ruszczyk, Ethan Ast, and Farzad Rajabali scored for the Selects in the final. In the round robin, Port Moody defeated Kelowna United 4-2, Upper Island 2-0 and the Surrey Selects 2-0. The Selects went unde-

feated this season with 23 wins and two draws out-scoring opponents 98-19. Colbourne and Ruszczyk will play for Simon Fraser University’s men’s soccer team this fall while Kai Vockeroth will join the Clan in 2020. Goalkeeper Josef Knittel will play for the University of Victoria starting in the fall. The PoCo Euro-Rite Castilian Juniors also captured a Provincial A Cup crown by defeating Fraser Valley 3-1 in the under-16 girls final. The win avenged a 3-0 loss to Fraser Valley in the round robin. The Juniors also defeated Upper Island Storm 2-1 and Kelowna United 2-1. The Coquitlam Metro-

Ford Predators lost the under-13 girls final 1-0 to the Richmond Girls Red Bulls while the organization’s U14 girls team, CMF Shockwave, finished third in its division downing Victoria South Surge 1-0. PoCo also came third in the U18 girls by beating Gorge-Lakehill 4-1. In other boys A cup play, the Port Moody AC Selects defeated VIPL Storm 5-1 to claim third place in U15 while CMF Inter finished fourth suffering a 6-1 loss to Langley. At the Provincial B Cup championships in Burnaby, the CMF Thunder were defeated 1-0 by the North Shore Girls Avalanche in the under14 final.

A’s ‘will be ready’ for a fight continued from page

“They beat us two out of three times, so we’re definitely not taking anything for granted. We know we’re in for a tough battle,” said Coyle. “Part of it is they’re a good, young team and they work hard and seemed to have a knack for scoring. It would be easy to make excuses but the truth is they played really well in those games. “We’ll be ready for them, and if we’re not shame on us.” Dennon Armstrong was Coquitlam’s leading scorer with 36 goals and 78 points, tying him for seventh in the league. The Adanacs were bolstered by the mid-season addition of sniper Haiden Dickson from the Delta Islanders who notched 50 goals between the two teams, second most in the BCJALL. “It’s nice to have a weapon like that. We do really try to score by committee on our offence and getting goals in transition,” said Coyle. Nanaimo, however, has three players who matched or bettered Armstrong’s pointoutput in Thomas Vaesen (53-

47=100), Ryan Sheridan (4752=99) and Colton Lidstone (21-57=78). Vaesen led the league in goals and was fourth in points. The most notable graduation, by far, from last season’s championship team was goaltender Christian Del Bianco who recently backstopped the Calgary Roughnecks to a National Lacrosse League title. But Coyle feels Nate Faccin has done an excellent job in filling Del Bianco’s big shoes, posting 11 wins, a 7.15 goalsagainst average and an 84.9 save percentage. Backup Cam

MacLeod also won all six of his games with a 4.29 GAA and stopping 88.8% of the shots he faced. After losing in Victoria (June 23) and Langley (June 27), the Adanacs ended the season on a three-game win streak concluding with a 10-5 home-floor victory, in which they scored the game’s final five goals, over the Salmonbellies on Friday. Dickson sniped three goals and added three assists while Armstrong had a goal and four assists. Philip Buque and Ethan Ticehurst had two goals each with Dawson Rodin and Reid

Bowering getting the others. • Series schedule: Sunday, July 14, Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, 4 p.m.; Wed.

Junior B call-up Austin Wahl got the winner on a two-man advantage with 1:52 left in the third period with Garrett Winter icing it with another power play marker with 49 seconds remaining. It was Wahl’s second goal of the game to go along with six assists. Winter had three goals and three assists. Jacob Dunbar also scored a hat trick while also adding four helpers. The victory was just the fourth for PoCo to go with 17 losses, the last of which came Saturday when the Saints lost 14-3 to the Shamrocks in Victoria, leaving them out of the playoff picture in seventh place in the eight-team league.

Coq. Express to open on the road The Coquitlam Express will begin the 2019-20 season with three road games followed by a homestand of five games. The Express’ season opener will be against the Rivermen at George Preston Arena on Sept. 7. They’ll play the Surrey Eagles at South Surrey Arena on Sept. 30 and be back in Langley again on Sept. 20 before their home opener against the Chilliwack Chiefs the next night (7 p.m.) at Poirer Sports and Leisure Centre. The Express also have an eight-game homestand running from Nov. 16 (Vernon Vipers) to Dec. 8 (Wenatchee Wild). The seventh game of that homestand will feature the homecoming of two Port Moody hometowners, coach and general manager Jeff Tambellini and centre Kent Johnson, who will join the University of

Michigan Wolverines on a hockey scholarship for the 2020-21 season. The schedule includes just two three-games-inthree-days stretches. The first starts with a Sept. 20 date in Langley followed by the home opener and then a Sunday, Sept. 22 (3 p.m.) visit by the defending BCHL champion Prince George Spruce Kings. The Express’s first of four exhibition games will be against the Wenatchee Wild, Aug. 25, at Sungod Arena in North Delta. The locals play the Eagles in Surrey Aug. 27 and visit the Rivermen Aug. 28.

Benchmark home price in Metro Vancouver slips under $1M: REBGV After a brief jump in sales activity in May, June’s residential resale transactions across Metro Vancouver barely passed the 2,000 mark, according to statistics released July 3 by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV). There were 2,077 home sales across the region in June, which is 14.4 per cent lower than June 2018 and a 21.3 per cent decrease from the previous month. That figure is the lowest number of home sales for the month since June 2000, and 34.7 per cent below the 10-year June sales average.

apartments (both balanced markets).

The benchmark price for all property types combined across Metro Vancouver slipped below the $1 million mark to $998,700. This is 9.6 per cent lower than in June 2018, 0.8 per cent lower than May 2019 and the first time the Home prices vary widely in composite benchmark has been bedifferent areas throughout low $1 million since May 2017.

the region. To get a good idea of home prices in a specific location and by property type, check the detailed MLS® Home Price Index REBGV said that since the market at www.rebgv.org started slowing, it has been challenging for buyers and sellers to know what to expect. “We’re continuing to see an expectation gap between home buyers and sellers in Metro Vancouver,” said Ashley Smith, REBGV president. “Sellers are often trying to get yesterday’s values for their homes while buyers are taking a cautious, waitand-see approach.”

Even so, the overall regional market has not yet slipped into a buyer’s market, with the sales-to-active-listings ratio now at 13.9 per cent across all property types. A buyer’s market occurs when the ratio is below 12 per cent for several consecutive months. When broken out by property type, the sales-to-active-listings ratio is 11.4 per cent for detached homes (a buyer’s market), 15.8 per cent for townhomes and 15.7 per cent for

Having been the first home type to see activity slow, the sales trend line for detached home transactions seems to be flattening out. There were 746 single-family home sales across the region in June, which is a low figure but only 2.6 per cent (or 20 houses) below that of June 2018.

Attached homes such as townhouses, duplexes and rowhomes are seeing a lagging sales trend compared with detached houses. June’s attached sales in the region totalled 390 transactions, which is 6.9 per cent down from June 2018. A typical attached unit in Metro Vancouver now trades at $774,700. This is an 8.6 per cent decrease from June 2018 and a 0.6 per cent slip compared with May this year.
