Municipalities in British Columbia have been given a new tool to protect and encourage rental housing. But city councils in the TriCities have yet to decide how they’ll deploy it. July 3, the NDP provincial government passed amendments to the Local Government Act that give municipalities the authority to zone for rental housing in areas where multi-family residential use is permitted. They can also require a certain number, portion or percentage of housing units in a building to be rental units. At its meeting July 17, Port Moody council passed a rental protection policy that gives preference for redevelopment applications of existing rental buildings with six or more units that will replace those units with the same number and type of rental apartments. see CITIES SHOULD, page 10

Clockwise from above: A photo of Ted Bordeleau’s graduating class from Moller’s Barber School in Vancouver hangs on the wall in Plaza Hairstyling and Barbers, where he has cut hair for 50 years. Ted’s collection of timepieces hang from a shelf in the barbershop and his annual barber licences line a shelf. Ted celebrated 50 years cutting hair by offering his customers at Plaza Hairstyling and Barbers a haircut for $2, the same rate he charged when he started in the business in 1968. Over the years, Ted has shared his barber shops with dozens of other barbers, including his grandfather and uncle.
TRI-CITY HERITAGE
50 years of cuts and cut-ups for Ted Barber marks half a century cutting in Burquitlam STORY AND PHOTOS: MARiO BARTel The Tri-CiTy News
A
ccounting’s loss has been Coquitlam’s gain. For 50 years. That’s how long Ted Bordeleau has been cutting hair at Plaza Hairstyling and Barbers in the old Burquitlam Plaza on Clarke Road, an occasion he marked Wednesday with snacks and refreshments for his customers and $2 haircuts — but only if they showed up with an actual $2 bill because that’s what he charged when he first started in the business Aug. 1, 1968. And if a customer didn’t have a $2 bill, since it’s been out of circulation since 1996, Ted said he would be happy to sell them one of his — “for $25.” In Ted’s venerable shop, every story has a punchline. Even the one about the elderly customer who expired in his chair back when he was learning his trade at Moller’s Barber School on Hastings Street in Vancouver. After
perfecting his straight-edge shaving skills first on a bottle, then a balloon, then other trainee barbers, Ted had finally graduated to giving shaves to real, live customers, many of them elderly or impoverished who put their necks on the line for the young apprentices in exchange for cut-rate haircuts. When one of those customers failed to flinch after Ted nicked him, he called over his instructor, who checked if the client
was breathing, then confirmed the worst. “I cut him three times,” Ted recalled. “No wonder he didn’t bleed.” Ted almost didn’t become a barber. He loved numbers and was studying accounting when his grandfather urged him to pick up clippers because, he told Ted, “We need barbers.” Ted trained at Moller’s for six months, then embarked on a two-year apprenticeship,
as per the requirements to obtain a provincial barbering licence at the time. He said he would have stayed another six months at barber school but he couldn’t afford the bandages. Again with the punchlines. Over the years, Ted has cut hair for generations of families as customers whose locks he first tended when they were kids bring in their kids and, eventually, their grandkids. He has trimmed politicians’ pates,
CEOs’ sideburns and manes of people who’ve walked out of his shop without paying. Some of his longtime customers travel hours out of their way to keep getting their hair cut by Ted. And when they walk through his door, there’s no guarantee they’ll be served right away because Ted doesn’t take appointments. Ted met his wife, Jean, in front of his barbershop. She drove by in a bright pink 1957 Buick with fins, and Ted loves cars, so he ran out the door to ask for the driver’s phone number. “She wasn’t quick enough to give me the wrong number,” Ted said.
He’s also found love for some of his customers, matching them up with female friends, acquaintances or just regular visitors who passed by as they shopped at the once bustling plaza. Oh yeah, there’s that. As the big city caught up to the suburbs, Burquitlam Plaza lost much of its bustle. The butcher shop left, so did the video store. SkyTrain severed part of the sprawling parking lot and the Safeway grocery store moved into the first two stories of a gleaming new condo tower on the corner. Many of the storefronts between the Dollarama and Value Village are dark. The neighbourhood has changed, too, Ted said. Fewer families can afford to live there as small apartment blocks and modest mid-century bungalows are gobbled up by new development, so he’s not giving as many first haircuts to tentative toddlers. But Ted perseveres, propelled by stories exchanged, friendships made and the knowledge that, while everyone may not need the services of an accountant, everyone at some point needs their hair cut.

ger of the SUV were not hurt in the crash. RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin told The Tri-City News it appears the motorcycle driver, a Coquitlam man, was heading east on Como Lake and the SUV was turning left on to Porter when they collided. “We’re asking everyone to be extra cautious in these summer months,” McLaughlin added in a press release. “Car and truck drivers need to be mindful of seeing more motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians. “We’re also asking motorcyclists to ride as defensively as possible and wear the best helmet, protective gear and high-

Monday, the regional district expanded the advisory to include fine particulate matter, which is airborne solid or liquid droplets small enough to penetrate indoors. The warnings were a result of smoke from wildfires burning in Eurasia and Alaska as well as the bog fire in Richmond. The regional district had been advising people to avoid strenuous activities during mid-afternoon to early evening when ozone levels were at their highest.
An air quality advisory that included the Tri-Cities has been cancelled by Metro Vancouver. The advisory for the eastern parts of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley had been in effect since July 28. It was cancelled Wednesday when air quality improved because of cooler temperatures and less smoke from wildfires coming into the region, according to a Metro Vancouver press release. The initial advisory issued last week was for ground-level ozone.

Coquitlam wants washroom pilot at Burquitlam Station Gary MCKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Builders of new multi-family housing developments will have to include charging capabilities for electronic vehicles if a city of Coquitlam bylaw gets final reading.
COQUITLAM
EV rules likely for new dev’t. Gary MCKenna
The Tri-CiTy News
As the popularity of electric vehicles continues to grow, Coquitlam is hoping to stay ahead of the curve. After a public hearing on the topic Monday, city council approved third reading of regulations requiring developers to install charging capabilities in most new multi-family developments. The bylaw amendment, if it gains final approval, would mean each residential unit in a project must have at least one parking space with an energized Level 2 outlet or better. According to a city staff report, British Columbia leads the country in electric vehicle ownership, making up 1% of new car purchases. That
number is expected to grow to approximately 24 to 27% by 2030. “It is important to note that these figures do not account for policy changes to increase the availability of EV charging infrastructure,” said the staff report. “One of the biggest constraints to EV market share growth is the availability of home charging.” Vancouver and Richmond have adopted bylaws requiring all parking stalls to have Level 2 while Burnaby is on its way to doing so. PoCo is requiring one space per unit to have Level 2. Fourth reading for the regulations is expected to be on the agenda at a council meeting in September. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC
Could a bathroom be coming to Burquitlam Station? The city of Coquitlam intends to approach TransLink about opening an existing staff washroom at the Evergreen Extension stop to members of the public. Andreea Toma, the city’s general manager of strategic initiatives, told The Tri-City News that while nothing has been worked out with TransLink, she envisions a pilot project for the washroom that could be used to gain information about bathroom facilities at other stations. “It would just be a trial,” she said. “We would be running a bit of a pilot to see if it is doable.” A report to council stated that a bathroom currently exists in a fare paid zone at the station and would only require some operational and maintenance commitments from the city. The document added that while the city believes TransLink should deliver the bathroom services at its stations, a partnership may help move the process of installing public washrooms along more quickly.
TrI-CITy newS FILe PHOTO
The city of Coquitlam wants a bathroom opened to the public at Burquitlam Station but could others, like Lincoln Station (above), also eventually have facilities? If a public bathroom facility is opened at Burquitlam Station, it would be the only washroom in the entire SkyTrain network. Only the SeaBus Terminal has a public washroom and there are no public facilities at any major bus exchanges. Chris Bryan, TransLink’s senior media relations advisor, said there have been no formal discussions with Coquitlam about entering into a pilot project. But he said a meeting is scheduled for next month with cities across the region to discuss possible models for
how public washrooms can be brought online across the transit system. He noted that all of the new stations have the capacity and infrastructure for public washrooms but issues surrounding public safety, maintenance and operational costs would still need to be worked out with the cities. “The board has asked us to begin those discussions and just explore what the benefits and challenges might be,” Bryan said. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC
NEW TOILETS
New washrooms are being installed at two popular amenities in Coquitlam. The city is looking at building facilities at the Chilko entrance to Mundy Park near the bike skills loop by the trail to Lost Lake. Washrooms and a water fountain are also expected to be installed on the Coquitlam Crunch at Lansdowne Drive.

SENIORS’ CARE
Seniors advocate questions care quality Different stats for public and private facilities: report Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News
Privately contracted longterm residential care facilities don’t perform well and it’s costing taxpayers, according to a report from the province’s seniors advocate released Wednesday. In the report, Isobel Mackenzie said care facilities contracted by regional health authorities in B.C. are responsible for substantially more hospital visits and more than double the death rate in hospital when compared to publicly operated facilities. “A consistent pattern emerges that shows a demonstrably greater use of the emergency department and hospital beds by residents from contracted long-term care facilities versus residents from publicly run facilities, and a stunning 54% greater likelihood that you will die in the hospital if you live in a contracted care facility versus a publicly operated facility,” Mackenzie said in a press release. The stats covered a fouryear period from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2016. The data from 24 hospitals and 212 care facilities was pulled from the
there is a greater use of hospital emergency rooms by residents of privately run seniors’ care facilities than public ones, according to a report by B.C.’s seniors’ advocate, isobel mackenzie (above right). Canadian Institute for Health Information. The report said it shows seniors living in a care home operated by a contracted provider are: • 32% more likely to be sent to the emergency department; • 34% more likely to be hospitalized; • to have a 32% longer stay in hospital; • to have a 47% higher chance of not returning to the care home; • 54% more likely to die in hospital. “With a rate more than double the public facilities, we really need to ask why contracted care facilities are seeing their residents die in the hospital,” Mackenzie said.
“At every turn, whether it is the decision to call the ambulance, the decision to admit the resident as in-patient, the decision on when or if to discharge the resident back to the care facility,” she said, “we see the contracted care facilities persistently failing relative to the health authority operated facilities.” There are six long-term residential care facilities in Coquitlam and two in Port Coquitlam, all of which have publicly subsidized beds and are either operated by private firms or not-for-profit organizations. The Fraser Health Authority operates Eagle Ridge Manor in Port Moody. The report says if contracted
facilities could match the performance of the public ones, there would be a $16-million annual saving and create more than 15,000 additional bed days for an already congested hospital system. According to the report, private facilities pay lower wages than the public ones, with only 54 of 184 private facilities paying the top wages and benefits of the master collective agreement. The lower wages, said the report, could mean less-experienced staff and more turnover, which could be a problem in providing continuity of care that has proven to link with better health outcomes, including lower hospitalization rates. The BC Liberal seniors critic, Joan Isaacs, said while she appreciates Mackenzie highlighting issues that affect quality of care for the elderly, there should be options for seniors and their families.
“We have heard concerns from families who are being told there is a difference in the quality of care between public and privately operated care homes. This is irresponsible and adds needless concern for families,” said Isaacs, who is also MLA for Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, in a release. It also states the report says for most quality indicators, there’s no difference between operators. “[Family members] are the best ones suited to make choices for their loved one, ensure that location and type of home fits their lifestyle, whether it is a private, public, faith-based or not-for-profit care home.” Isaacs said she will meet with Mackenzie later this summer. A press release from the BC Care Providers Association (BCCPA) blasted the report’s methodology for not using independent data and said the advocate does not substantiate whether the emergency department visits were inappropriate. “Unfortunately, this flawed report appears to have been produced at the last minute and is filled with questionable suppositions and political buzzwords rather than independent research,” said BCCPA chief executive officer Daniel Fontaine in the release. BCCPA said that while the report advocates for increasing wages and benefits for care

This is something we have not seen to date.” newsroom@tricitynews.com

Sparking change
We can no longer claim not to have been warned. Climate change means drier summers and more wildfires on the West Coast. Metro vancouver issued an air quality advisory over the weekend while crews worked to contain a wildfire in Richmond. for most, the annual smell of smoke in the air and taste of soot in our mouths is an inconvenience — but if you have respiratory difficulties, it’s a threat. While a wildfire will gladly consume anything in its path, we have had, thankfully, very few fatalities in b.C. over the years. That’s something we owe to evacuation efforts by the authorities in the fire-plagued Interior but also a cultural appreciation by people there for the gravity of the risk fires present. Here in the Tri-Cities, it’s time we realized the same risk with many kilometres of neighbourhoods that interface with forests where thousands people go to recreate at the driest times of the year — and some cause fires. That means no longer accepting people smoking in areas where they should not be. If you see someone throwing cigarette butts on the ground, stomp out those potential fire-starters.

10 bits of wisdom on summer sports tournaments I t’s that season again, time to grab the Spitz, head for some small dot on the map and spend three days camped out on a dusty patch of sweltering dirt. It’s summer tournament season! I spent the summers of my childhood bouncing back and forth between various western Canadian sports tournaments. Those were some of the best days of my life, and it was with great excitement that I renewed that passion recently with my first-ever tournament ANDY PREST as a parent/coach. Taking my son to his first tourney, I realized that while a few things have changed since my days on the field, most have stayed the same. Topping the list of the things that have stayed the same is the fact that no matter what your expectations are heading into a tournament, you realize about halfway through that there’s really only one main goal at an event like this: survival. With that in mind, I’ve compiled a list containing bits of wisdom and etiquette gleaned from years spent eating Subway sandwiches on the dry, dry grass of summer. Let’s play ball! Rule 1: all summer tournaments must be played at temperatures DelIVeRY 604-472-3040 NewsROOM 604-472-3030 DIsPlaY aDs 604-472-3020 classIfIeD aDs 604-444-3056 n

approximating the surface of the sun. No matter how much water you bring, it will be gone before the end of the first game. Pro tip: You will always forget one of your water bottles in a cupholder or under a seat in your car. You can fish this one out as an emergency water supply for Game 2. Just be aware that, sitting in the hot car, the water will now be steam. Rule 2: one team will be the no-fun team. Several characteristics will clearly mark them as the no-fun team: They will skip the opening ceremony and/or skills competition so they can do a full warm-up for their upcoming game. The coach will get into several disagreements with other coaches and/or the 12-year-old referees. They will bend/ break the tournament rules to get more playing time for star players. There’s a 65% chance that the no-fun team will win the tournament. There’s a 100% chance I don’t want to be on the no-fun team. Rule 3: Someone, at some point, will get a nosebleed. Rule 4: all participants must ingest one (1) tournament-sanctioned hot dog or one (1) tournament-sanctioned hamburger. The hot dog unit will consist of 65% bun, 15% ketchup, 15% mustard, and 5% meat-style product. The hamburger must, by regulation, have the consistency of slightly warm tarmac. When compared to the dusty trail mix and flattened sandwiches in your gear bag, both the official tournament hot dog and hamburger will taste wonderful. Rule 5: If it’s an overnight tournament, all parents must sign a
waiver. as ambassadors of their city and association, they should limit themselves to eight (8) hotel room rye and gingers. Rule 6: all conflicts between rival parent groups must be cordially and civilly resolved in the most passive-aggressive way possible. Rule 7: There must be no fewer than 19 younger brothers and sisters climbing on the bleachers at all times. at some point in the tournament, at least one of the siblings MuST get 1) hit by a bat 2) pegged in the face by a ball or 3) fall off the bleachers. While such incidents are regrettable, tournament officials will NoT supply replacement siblings. Rule 8: No less than 20% of each day must be spent staring at standings on a white board trying to determine who has the tiebreak, what the point differential is and what time your Sunday morning game will be. Rule 9: No matter how well teams play at the start of the tournament, by the end of three days of non-stop games, all teams will play like hot garbage. Rule 10: Championship freezies taste the best. and you know what else tastes amazing? Last-place freezies. That’s my list. I’m sure I’ve forgotten a few other important bits of wisdom. feel free to add your own in the online comments section. See ya at the white board! aprest@nsnews.com • @Sports_Andy

What about WCE riders? The Editor, Re. “Distance pricing gets OK for Metro Van transit” (The TriCity News, July 27). Thank you for your coverage of the recent TransLink Mayors Council’s decision to approve a distance-based fare system. While the proposed new fare structure is likely to significantly reduce the fares of Vancouver and Burnaby SkyTrain users, this proposed system — as articulated in the TransLink July 2018 Transit Fare Review, Final Recommendations report — will undoubtedly cost Tri-City West Coast Express (WCE) monthly pass holders a fortune in fare increases. Under the proposed distance-based fare system, TransLink staff (endorsed by our Tri-City mayors) intend to do away with the integrated WCE/SkyTrain/bus monthly passes (currently costing the “premium price” of $205 per month). In its place, TransLink wants to limit a WCE pass to only cover “station-to-station” travel (e.g., from Coquitlam Station to Waterfront) while maintaining today’s premium price. Travel

Are big price changes in store for West Coast Express users? from home to a WCE station by bus or SkyTrain? Well that’s just going to cost you a whole bunch more. Using the examples contained in the report: If you commute to Coquitlam Central Station by bus from Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, or are fortunate enough to walk to Lafarge Lake SkyTrain Station, you’ll be on the hook for an additional $95 a month based on current fares. (But take heart — if you chose to park and ride at Coquitlam Central Station, it will only cost you an additional $72 each month, based on a $3 ticket and parking 23 days a month!)

have received more than 66,000 submissions throughout the four stages on consultation on the fare review, of which “detailed” responses on the fare structure were only put forward in Phase 4 of the consultation. But this specific recommendation to split the WCE pass from the broader multi-modal transit pass system was never suggested to the public — and certainly not to the approximately 10% of survey respondents who identified as being at least somewhat-regular Tri-City WCE commuters.

stakeholders and partners to explore opportunities to refine this structure to align prices more closely with distance travelled,while ensuring fares remain affordable, help to grow ridership and effectively manage demand.” But in the next breath, it recommends implementing the “stationto-station, premium-pricing model” change without further consultation with WCE commuters. Clearly, this is unacceptable from an organization that prides itself on public consultation. To the Tri-City mayors, and the mayors of Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge: Did you consider these potential impacts on WCE commuters in your communities? If not, why not?

Do you support TransLink’s plans splitting West Coast Express service from the integrated, one-tap, multi-modal transit system? Jonathan Fershau, Coquitlam

In the future, ‘We all will be doing a lot more walking’
The Editor, The excuse is that because we now have a SkyTrain line in the Tri-Cities, we are OK to increase density. But we see the slowing in the movement of traffic and, little by little, it all comes to a crawl. One personal example of this was a recent Saturday morning: It took three lights to make a left onto North Road at Austin Avenue. Around us, highrises are ready to dump thousands of more people and cars onto our narrow streets. Looking at a map, it is hard to see how there is enough space to accommodate all this traffic. Longtime residents may recall Coquitlam implementing a barrier to push traffic into Port Moody by dead-ending Como Lake Avenue at Clarke Road. Now that was in the 1970s and now Port Moody will have its own lifetime migraine headache with potential waterfront developments. Our own twin towers on

Austin Avenue are to be ready in 18 months, both 25 storeys will add time to the morning and evening commute. So what is the answer? Perhaps there isn’t one. Strange how we seem never to hear from the traffic experts. Have you been to Brentwood lately? Well, just watch how things will be in the Lougheed area: crazy. For many, leaving our city is not an option. It takes time to build friendships, social contacts are most important as we age. I also see, too, we all will be doing a lot more walking.

Cities should have ‘a valuable conversation’ on zoning for rentals continued from front page
The policy will also allow the city to encourage the development of new rental housing by requiring developers of multi-family projects that need rezoning to include a portion of affordable rental or ownership units or pay into the city’s affordable housing reserve fund. The city can also offer incentives like relaxing parking requirements or increased density to encourage rental or affordable housing. Coun. Zoe Royer said the policy is a “good start” that will help prevent renovictions, but “we can look at deeper measures in terms of zoning rental.” Coun. Diana Dilworth said the new legislation gives the city “an opportunity… to zone those lands to say this is where we want to have permanent rental. “I think it’s a valuable conversation we should have,” she added. In Port Coquitlam, council recently adopted a staff recommendation to consider a rental housing policy, including the option to apply the new legislation, as part of its 2019 work program. Coquitlam is also looking at the new provincial legislation around rental zoning, said Jim McIntyre, the city’s general manager of planning. There are pros and cons to rental zoning, he said, noting developers may be reticent to lock themselves into the land use permanently. Rental markets may be booming today, he said, but that has not always been the case, and there could

POMO COUN. ZOE ROYER be fears in the development community that rental zoning could reduce property values. But reduced land costs may appeal to some organizations in the non-profit sector that may be able to operate co-ops and social housing initiatives with lower property taxes and operating costs, he added. “To them, that might be a worthy tradeoff,” McIntyre said, later adding: “If the property is worth less, presumably the property taxes are lower and the operating costs are lower.” But he said Coquitlam is “a little bit ahead of the curve” when it comes to rental housing after the city passed its Affordable Housing Strategy in 2015. The document incentivizes developers to build market rental housing and partner with non-profits and community organizations to provide belowmarket housing. As of the beginning of 2018, the Affordable Housing Strategy has led the creation of 2,475 rentals and 166 subsidized rentals, according to a city staff report.
All these plans come as Burnaby on Monday became the first B.C. municipality to declare its intention to develop a bylaw to protect rental units. That city lost 712 rental units between 2010 and 2017, many of them in the Metrotown area. Burnaby council also asked staff to include a provision that any redevelopment of rental buildings also include nonmarket or social housing. As part of its effort to protect rental housing, Port Moody council also adopted a policy requiring developers file a relocation plan for tenants being displaced by the redevelopment of a rental building with six or more units. Such a plan must include: at least two months notice to end tenancies; financial compensation based on length of tenancy that can include free rent or a lump sum payment, or a combination of both; assistance to help tenants find new accommodations; help covering moving expenses; and the right of first refusal for existing tenants to move back into the new building with a 20% discount on market rents. mbartel@tricitynews.com — with files from Janis Cleugh, Gary McKenna and Kelvin Gawley

Coquitlam Adanacs forward Dylan Foulds is squeezed off the ball by New Westminster Salmonbellies defenders Mack Burns and Kobe Noda in the first period of the fourth game of their best-of-seven BC Junior A Lacrosse League championship series, Tuesday at New Westminster’s Queen’s Park Arena. Coquiltam won the game, 12-5, to even the series. Each team has a pair of wins.

Adanacs’ win makes final a best-of-three Another win on the road ties series 2-2 DAN OLSON
NEW WEST RECORD
Taken at face value, the Coquitlam junior Adanacs’ 12-5 triumph over the New Westminster Salmonbellies on Tuesday appears to be as decisive a statement either team has made so far in the best-ofseven B.C. Junior A Lacrosse championship series. The defending B.C. champion Adanacs brushed off two losses to the rival ’Bellies in Games 2 and 3 on their own floor by storming out to a big lead early at New
Westminster’s Queen’s Park Arena. Whipped like a strong forehand return from Rafael Nadal, the ball seemed to be locked in the ’Bellies’ zone during a flurry of momentumsetting rushes. And while the end score could resonate as a statement game, the end result knotted the series at 2-2, with each team finding success on the road and starved at home. “We were pissed off the past two games, we knew it wasn’t our best play,” remarked Coquitlam captain Reid Bowering. “We wanted to show them who we are as a team — we’re the best in the country here.” Considering they had just come off of back-to-back 6-4 and 7-6 losses at the Poirier
Street rink, the Adanacs were all business from the opening whistle. They scored twice before the game was 1:20 old, and after New West’s Ryan Jones cut it to 2-1, Coquitlam replied quickly with Jalen Chaster’s shorthanded effort. The lead just grew from there. Offensively, the regular season champions were clicking — with eight players getting in on the scoring. That was a big step towards re-establishing control, head coach Pat Coyle said. “I think that’s sort of what we’ve been looking for the whole time [in this series]” said Coyle. “Our offence really hadn’t had its mojo, but it felt like we did here.” The turnaround after Game 3, where the ’Bellies never
trailed and broke a 6-6 tie on Jones’ game-winning tally with 3:06 remaining, had to come from a full-team response, he noted. “We knew we were really close, and I give New West a ton of credit [for] the changes they made. They’re a really tough team. “[But] there was a part of us who felt we were beating ourselves [in Games 2 and 3]” Although their lead Tuesday was never threatened, a window opened late in the second period when Coquitlam’s Ryland Rees was handed a double-minor for checking from behind. That four-minute powerplay could have seen New West reclaim a bit of momentum and cut down a fivegoal deficit.
The penalty killers, led by netminder Christian Del Bianco, held the line, with the goalie turning back four pointblank shots within a span of 30 seconds. “That’s Del Bianco, all the time,” said Bowering. “He robs everybody, and we’re so happy to have him. He’s our rock, we’re confident with him and we play confidence because of him.” Chase Scanlan led Coquitlam shooters with three goals and three assists, while Dennon Armstrong and Colin Munro tallied two apiece. Also scoring were Dylan Foulds, who chipped in five assists, Larson Sundown, with four helpers, Adam Fulton and Bowering. The Adanacs outshot New West 46-45.

Going home for Game 5 tonight (Friday), Coquitlam hopes to pack that momentum along and keep the ’Bellies’ Tre Leclaire, Keegan Bell and Jones in check. Bowering expects New West to ramp up their efforts down the stretch, with the prize a ticket to represent B.C. at the Minto Cup national championship tournament in Alberta. He feels his squad has an important edge now. “We play confident. Those last two games wasn’t us. We’ll be ready for the next few games, and that’s who we are,” said Bowering. Game 6 will be played Sunday, 5 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena, with a seventh game, if necessary, going Aug. 7, 7:30 p.m. in Coquitlam.

No road wins for Adanacs The Coquitlam Adanacs finished their Western Lacrosse Association season without a win on the road. Their travelling futility was assured last Friday in Victoria, where they lost to the Shamrocks 15-4. After trailing 3-2 at the end of the first period, the
visiting Adanacs were outscored 12-2 in the final two frames. Coquitlam won only twice this season — both at home — en route to last place in the WLA standings, nine points behind the sixth place Burnaby Lakers. The New Westminster Salmonbellies finished first.

Coquitlam Adanacs goalie Thomas Ungaro stops a Ridge Meadows Burrards forward at close range in the gold medal game of the 2018 BC Lacrosse Association Midget A1 provincial championships, last Sunday at Copeland Arena in Burnaby. Coquitlam won the game, 10-5. Ungaro was named the game’s most valuable player. He was also named to the tournament’s first all-star team and was awarded a $1,000 scholarship from BCLA. At the Canadian Lacrosse Association female nationals in Halifax that concluded July 25, several players from the Tri-Cities were part of the Bantam team that won gold when they beat Alberta in the final, 5-3. Coquitlam’s Jordan Baxter scored three goals in the final, and totalled nine points in the tournament. Malaena Michielin and Port Coquitlam’s Alyssa Clark each had eight points in Team BC’s seven games. Other local players who were part of the team included Coquitlam’s Sienna Prestia, Sage DaSilva, Amelia Procyk, Jamie-Lynn Schmidt and goalkeeper Ella Friesen, as well as Port Moody’s Abigail Whitworth. In the midget final, Team BC lost to Ontario, 8-3, after finishing round robin play with four wins — two of them over Ontario. Coquitlam’s Raegan Mackenzie led all scorers in the midget division with nine points. Breanna Hollingshead and Chelsea Philbrook were also part of the team.

ROSS, Rolande Marie It is with great sadness that we are announcing the passing of our beloved, Rolande Marie Ross (nee Poirier) at the age of 69 from cancer on July 27, 2018 at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver. Rolande was born on August 26, 1948 in Escuminac, NB, the daughter of Bruno and Catherine Poirier. She grew up in Baie Ste Anne, NB with her 9 brothers and 6 sisters until the age of 18 when she briefly lived in Moncton and Montreal before moving to Vancouver with her sister Ida. It was there that she met husband, Gary Ross and had her two children, Ward and Jennifer. She had many happy years of marriage and raising a family where her love of children led her to become a pre-school teacher for the City of Port Coquitlam and then on to the Parks and Recreation Department coordinating various community programs and special events. After 25 years with the City, she was fortunate to retire at the age of 52 to enjoy a life of travel and adventure with her new partner Dale who she met a few years after getting divorced. Together with her soul mate Dale, she loved skiing in Whistler, traveling around the US in a motor home, hiking and jeeping in Moab, spending time with family and pursuing her love of photography. She touched many lives with her infectious laugh, sense of humour and positive attitude and will be dearly missed by all. She is survived by her partner Dale of 20+ years, son Ward (Linsey), grandchildren Kennedy and Tait, daughter Jennifer (Oliver), granddaughters Isabel and Sophie and her large extended family. A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, August 9, 2018 at 2:00 pm at St. Clare of Assisi, 2888 Delahaye Drive, Coquitlam, BC. There will also be a service held in Baie Ste Anne, New Brunswick at St. Anne’s on Friday, August 17, 2018 at 2:00 pm with a mass to follow at 4:00pm. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in memory of Rolande to the Paul Sugar Foundation, her amazing palliative care doctor at: www.paulsugarfoundation.com
