jdeutsch@thenownews.com It was a senseless act of vandalism in a popular Coquitlam park.

In the spring of 2012, vandals torched a picnic area on the west side of Mundy Park.

A year later, a group of Dr. Charles Best Secondary and Hillcrest Middle students teamed up to right the wrong from that day.

Woodworking students from both schools were tasked with three projects to improve the park.

The first project is the installation of an arbour

with a swing, while the other projects include four sundials and four Mason beehives.

Despite the pouring rain on Thursday as the school year wound down, the teens were in the park installing some of the products of their hard work.

The sundials will have to be set up in the park on another day when the sun is out.

Best’s woodworking teacher Dave Jones said the idea was to come up with projects that would challenge the students and enhance the park.

He noted students from the school often use CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Speaking out for mental health COQUITLAM TEEN AIMS TO RAISE AWARENESS AFTER HER COUSIN COMMITS SUICIDE

John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com If nothing else, Victoria Tortora has learned that it’s OK to not be OK. Sadly, it’s a message she wishes she could convey to her late cousin.

ing in Europe last summer.

“He loved nature, and he loved people,”

she said.

“He was very quiet, but very kind. Even after meeting him, I just thought he was maybe a little shy. The saddest part of it all is you really wouldn’t know.”

In leading up to Sunday’s event, Tortora has banded together with about 30 family members and friends under the team name “Rosario’s Riders.”

The group has raised just over $1,000 for the CMHA, and will cycle along a 10-kilometre loop at Swangard as part of the fundraiser.

And while raising money is part of Sunday’s mission, starting up a conversation — and knowing that one can do so — around mentalhealth issues will be at the forefront.

“I know that I can’t help what’s already happened, but I’m really looking forward to trying to fix it for other people,” Tortora said.

“Sometimes even if you have as much support as possible, it doesn’t always change things. It’s important to know that it’s OK to not be OK, as long as you’re getting the help you need and knowing that you’re not alone.”

Port Moody residents share OCP concerns EVERGREEN LINE BRINGS PRESSURE TO INCREASE DENSITY IN THE CITY

the OCP is the lack of a transportation plan, pointing out thousands of new people will be driving through the city as Burke Mountain develops.

He questioned why the city is working on the OCP without a regional transportation plan.

“That is a huge gap in this whole document,” he said.

City council is expected to consider suggestions from recent site pulled out of industrial zoning and turned into mixed-use public meetings over the summer and offer more public input development.

Port Moody realtor John Grasty argued the biggest gap in opportunities in the fall before approving the plan.

The document, which guides land use, servicing and the form and character of any new development, identifies seven distinct Evergreen sub areas, including: Gateway — located at the west end of Port Moody, the vision is for the area to be a gateway to Port Moody with future development to balance local character with new opportunities for commercial development. A number of properties near Barnet Highway have proposed building heights of six to 12 storeys.

Spring Street Promenade — this area is proposed to reflect Spring as a unique roadway with distinct character. The goal is to enhance the character while maintaining the functionality of the street.

Heritage Commercial District — located in Moody Centre along Clarke Street, the OCP objective is to preserve the existing heritage buildings and ensure they are integrated with new development. OCP policy would also allow for events like seasonal markets.

Murray Street Boulevard — the proposed OCP is suggesting a mixed-employment land-use designation that includes development for a number of uses, from light industrial and commercial to office space and residential units. The OCP is proposing six-storey building heights in the area.

Ocean Front District — this area, which includes the Mill and Timber site, is designated for a mix of uses including residential, commercial and marina. The OCP is also calling for building forms for a highrise up to 28 storeys. The objective is to connect the waterfront with Port Moody’s historic centre.

Moody Centre Transit Oriented Development — this area is centered on the Evergreen station at Williams and St. Johns streets and has the highest concentration of commercial and residential use in the OCP. The plan calls for higher density mixed-use pedestrian friendly development within a 400metre radius of the line. The OCP has two options, which include building heights of four to 20 storeys, or five to 12 storeys.

Inlet Centre Transit Oriented Development — this area, which includes Newport Village, is calling for low- and midrise multi-family development between three and 12 storeys in height. The OCP objective is to concentrate density close to the station located at Barnet and Ioco Road with a range of development from three to 30 storeys. twitter.com/jertricitiesnow

jdeutsch@thenownews.com An alleged prolific crook with a penchant for werewolf costumes will get a chance to howl his case in front of a judge.

The strange tale began June 11 after the Coquitlam RCMP’s prolific target team (PTT) was working a case in the Burquitlam area.

The team focused on what police called an unusually dressed bike rider strolling through the area. Despite the warm temperature, the man was wearing a full BMX bike helmet, skiing goggles and a furry werewolf costume glove.

However, the team knew exactly who the rider was and began to watch him closely.

Police said the cyclist then got off his bike, hopped a fence and approached a parked truck on the street. While still wearing his riding costume, he allegedly rummaged through the rear of the truck, allegedly stealing tools from the vehicle and hiding them behind a nearby tree.

He then got on to his bike and tried to ride away, but was quickly arrested by Mounties.

Eventually police located the owner of the tools, which

were valued at more than $30,000.

Iouri Strijik, 25, of Coquitlam is now facing a number of charges including theft over $5,000, possession of a break-in instrument, and breach of undertaking or recognizance. He was released on $2,000 bail and is due back in court June 26.

••• An alleged botched robbery near the Boulevard Casino might just prove that a bus isn’t necessarily the best getaway vehicle.

Coquitlam Mounties were called out to the Coquitlam casino during the afternoon of June 13 after reports of a man trying to rob patrons at the facility. The suspect approached his first victim as that person left the casino, but failed to get any money.

Police said he then approached and allegedly robbed a second victim.

Immediately after the alleged robbery, the suspect was seen fleeing the scene by hopping on a bus.

The RCMP dispatch called out its Air 1 helicopter, while contacting Coast Mountain Bus to figure out which vehicle the suspect was riding. Officers were able to set up checkpoints before stopping the bus at Mary Hill

Bypass and Broadway Street in PoCo. Mounties arrested a suspect and accomplice on the bus.

Travis Storteboom, a 25year-old Maple Ridge man, is facing two robbery charges.

He has been held in custody until his next court date on June 26.

••• A pair of alleged street racers won’t be behind the wheel for the next while, after Coquitlam Mounties seized their vehicles following a crash.

Police alleged two vehicles, a BMW X5 and Mazda MPV, were racing, driving erratically and passing each other along Mariner Way near Austin Avenue at 9:30 p.m.

Monday. When the vehicles tried to race through the intersection of Mariner and Como Lake Avenue, the BMW hit a Chrysler PT Cruiser that was turning on to Mariner from Como Lake. The impact of the collision sent the Chrysler into a hydro pole.

The two occupants were transported to hospital with undisclosed injuries.

The drivers of the BMW X5 and Mazda MPV were each charged for driving without due care and their vehicles were impounded for seven days.

We’re going to have people die: mayor CONCERNS OVER ACCESS TO NEW WEST HOSPITAL AS CRASH CLOSES NORTH ROAD

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com A serious crash that shut down North Road during the rush-hour commute Tuesday has the mayor of Coquitlam once again calling for a replacement for the one-lane Bailey bridge that connects

his city to New Westminster.

He noted that on Tuesday, North Road was shut down, leaving only two options available for people trying to get to the regional hospital, one of which was the onelane bridge.

He said to replace the current Bailey bridge with another single-lane span is “out of the question.”

The dispute between the two municipalities over the crossing has intensified in recent months after the bridge, which con-

nects United Boulevard in Coquitlam to Braid Street in New Westminster, was shut down in February due to structural issues.

The mayor and others in Coquitlam have been calling for a complete replacement of the Bailey bridge with a four-lane span, but New West continues to oppose the plan.

Last month, Coquitlam council asked the province to intervene via mediation or arbitration in an effort to ensure that a two-lane bridge is built to replace the existing crossing.

Currently, the bridge sits inside New Westminster’s boundaries and is maintained by that city, but both municipalities split the cost in half.

The Bailey bridge was first

You have to be able to get to the hospital.

–Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart put in place in 1995.

Two years ago, TransLink and the City of New Westminster rejected a United Boulevard extension.

Stewart said he’s spoken with New West Mayor Wayne Wright, who has told him he understands the concerns.

But the Coquitlam mayor suggested New West isn’t interested in replacing the bridge until traffic issues along the entire corridor are addressed.

Stewart also said he agrees with some residents who question the idea of building

a brand new RCH at the current site.

Instead, he suggested a new regional hospital would make more sense in Coquitlam at the old Riverview site.

“It doesn’t make sense at all to rebuild it [RCH] on that site given the enormous transportation challenges,” Stewart said. “You have to be able to get to the hospital.”

As for the crash, three people were taken to hospital after a dump truck heading southbound along North Road collided head on with a pickup truck.

Police said it appeared the dump truck driver applied the brakes and somehow jack-knifed into oncoming traffic.

In all, four vehicles were involved in the crash, which occurred around 1:30 p.m. near the New West border.

The two occupants of the pickup received extensive but non-life-threatening injuries.

The dump truck driver was also taken to hospital.

RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said investigators spoke with witnesses at the scene and speed is not considered to be a factor in the crash.

He did note a mechanical inspection would be part of the investigation.

The road was eventually reopened by 9:30 Tuesday night.

206-unit development gets OK in Burquitlam John KURUCZ

jkurucz@thenownews.com Coquitlam council unanimously approved plans for a 206-unit development in the Burquitlam area Monday night.

The properties in question stretch from 514 to 554 Foster Ave., and from 636 to 640 Aspen St. The rezoning application, put forward by Intracorp Developments Ltd,. calls for a fivestorey apartment building comprised of 99

units, and 16 three-storey townhouse buildings.

The Burquitlam Community Garden will also be expanded as part of the rezoning process.

The developers will be contributing roughly $1.2 million to the city through land purchases, park amenity contributions and through the city’s community amenity contribution program.

The rezoning application is set to go before a public hearing on July 22.

Vancouver delivery upsets PoCo fire chief ANONYMOUS VFD MEMBERS TARGET FEMALE RECRUIT Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com It may have been meant as a joke, but an inappropriate package sent to the Port Coquitlam Fire & Emergency Services was no laughing matter to the department’s chief.

A couple of weeks ago, the department received an anonymous package from the Vancouver Fire Department that contained inappropriate comments about PoCo’s new female recruits, along with a box of feminine hygiene products.

The package, which was sent to a member of the PoCo department, was quickly turned over to the fire chief, who then alerted officials at the Vancouver department.

“It’s extremely disappointing,” fire chief Nick Delmonico told the Tri-Cities NOW. “We’ve just ventured back into trying to address diversity within the department and anything like that is always a step backwards.”

PoCo Fire Chief Nick Delmonico called the incident ‘extremely disappointing.’

According to media reports, two members of the Vancouver department were reprimanded over the incident and submitted letters of apology to both departments.

City tries another games bid John KURUCZ

jkurucz@thenownews.com After a pair of recent unsuccessful attempts, Coquitlam is back on the bid bandwagon.

The city is in the process of putting its name forward to host the 2016 BC Seniors Games, which will run from Aug. 23 to 26 and feature about 3,500 participants.

Monday’s move comes after the city missed out on bids to host the BC Summer Games in both 2016 and 2018.

The BC Seniors Games bid package points to two central hubs of activity for the games: the Poirier precinct/Mundy Park and the Glen Pine/Town Centre area.

“The vision is to take over that area for the four days of the games and make it a vibrant social hub in the City Centre,” said Joyce Fordyce, the city’s manager of recreation, at a meeting of council on Monday.

The city would receive inkind support from the cit-

ies of Port Moody and Port Coquitlam: PoCo’s contribution would involve the use of Wilson Centre and McLean Park, while Port Moody has offered up Rocky Point Park and the gym at the city’s community centre.

The city has also received 58 letters of support from the likes of the Dogwood and Glen Pine advisory boards, Club Bel Age, the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce, School District 43 and Douglas College.

The city has budgeted about $460,000 for the games, money that would cover the opening and closing ceremonies, equipment rental, food services and administration.

In total, the games consist of 29 events — carpet bowling, dragon boat races, bowling and golf, among other activities.

The application deadline is on June 28, while the successful bid will be announced in September.

operating costs associated with the facility.

“When we make a promise to be 100-per-cent responsible for the ongoing operations, we’re obligating ourselves to invest a sum approaching $60 million over the 40-year life of the facility,” Butz said.

Now that the project’s viability has been proven, representatives from both the city and the YMCA will examine potential costs and locations.

Monday’s discussion comes on the heels of preliminary talks between the city and the YMCA last October. At that time, a memorandum of understanding was discussed that spelled out the parameters of the potential partnership: the capital costs — land purchase, design and construction — would be shared between the city and the YMCA. The YMCA, however, would be responsible for ongoing

jkurucz@thenownews.com The YMCA’s presence in Coquitlam has moved one step closer to reality.

Stephen Butz, president and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Vancouver, briefed council and city staff Monday on the progress made in bringing a 60,000-square foot, multi-use facility to Burquitlam.

He noted a recent feasibility study turned up positive indicators — preliminary research has shown the facility would cater to a large enough market to be sustainable over time.

“The research demonstrates a clear case to advance this project and confirms the YMCA’s willingness to assume full responsibility for ongoing operations,” Butz said.

“This is an important hurdle to clear.”

Though Butz’s pitch did not include an exact location, it did spell out some of the services and facilities that would be offered: a swimming pool, fitness centre, gym, multipurpose rooms, childcare centre and food services.

He added the new facility would be “capable of supporting a robust participation beyond 10,000 individuals.”

“We’re not an organization that offers Band-Aids,” he added. “We try to prevent the injury by nurturing healthy growth in spirit, mind and body. This approach is important because if we don’t help young people develop their potential, it can cause bigger problems for individuals, families and communities, now and in the future.”

Delmonico said he’s satisfied with how Vancouver has handled the incident. He said he’s also proud of how the members in his department dealt with the package.

“Nobody here was too impressed with what had happened,” Delmonico said.

Earlier this year, the PoCo department recruited two female firefighters — the first since 1996.

The recruits represented the second and third female firefighters in the force’s history.

One of the recruits didn’t make it through training, but the other did and is now on shift.

Delmonico said so far, members of the department have accepted their new recruit.

The chief originally hoped the incident wouldn’t get much attention because he didn’t want any new members to feel like they weren’t wanted.

He also noted most members in his department were unaware of the package until the story hit the media on Wednesday.

However, now that the story is out, Delmonico suggested it could be a good teaching moment for any firefighter in the future.

“It should be a real good eye-opener,” he said.

Crude prank shows a lack of maturity

W

e’re used to seeing firefighters in the news for rescuing people from burning buildings, plucking cats out of trees and raising funds for charity through boot drives, pancake breakfasts and other events.

They get a lot of good press, and rightfully so.

But on Page 7, we reported on a story that involves two Vancouver firefighters harassing their counterparts in Port Coquitlam by pulling a sexist prank. The Vancouver firefighters, who have been reprimanded for their actions, sent a package containing tampons and sexually suggestive items to the Port Coquitlam department, after PoCo hired two female recruits, the first since 1996.

The package was reportedly intended for a male firefighter, but was intercepted and turned over to fire chief Nick Delmonico, who called the incident “extremely disappointing” and “a step backwards” for the department, which is trying to increase diversity in its ranks.

Kudos to Delmonico and the PoCo department for handling the incident so well. But to the two Vancouver firefighters who acted like immature boys posting a “No girls allowed” sign on a treehouse: grow up.

While this stupid prank may seem trivial, it’s more serious because, like the harassment female RCMP officers have been talking about for years, it sends a message to women that they’re not welcome.

As any woman who has laboured on a construction site, served in the ranks of the military, or worked in any other traditionally male occupation can attest to, most men are not threatened by female coworkers.

A few sexist ones, though, are all it takes to make the workplace toxic, and sometimes to ruin a promising career.

If that’s not bullying, we don’t know what is.

• She’s doing the right thing.

• She had no choice but to back down.

Adieu to 13 years of school

I

’m officially finished school.

Wow, it’s weird thinking that something I’ve known for two thirds of my life is coming to a close. Especially since my memory doesn’t hold much from the first third of my life. For the last 13 years of my life, I’ve had to sit in school seven hours a day, five days a week, for 10 months each year.

But now, that’s over. No more teachers droning on and on about something they’ve already talked about five times that very day. No more kids clumped together in classrooms, plotting on ways to get out of class early. No more getting home after a long day, only to realize I have to spend the remaining hours doing mindless exercises to reinforce the stuff taught that day.

What I think is even more special is that I have done all 13 of those years in French immersion. I started in kindergarten, not speaking a word of French.

Rather than learning that one plus one equals two, I was learning un plus un égale deux. Same equations, but I was wondering what the hell the second one was asking.

Still, in French immersion at the Grade 12 level, I am considered fully bilingual. I have written speeches, essays and conversed with people, relying only on my knowledge of French.

What a difference those years have made!

I still remember bits and pieces of kindergarten. The earliest of those memories is being led through the hallways away from the kindergarten class; there were too many kids enrolled in French immersion.

I was being shown to a new classroom, where there were older kids who already knew how to speak some French: the Grade 1 classroom. Then there I was, on the phone one night

MY GENERATION

Courtenay Huffman with my dad who was away on a business trip. I was teaching him the new words I learned that day: éléphant and carotte. If you don’t know, that’s elephant and carrot.

Then there was Grade 3, where I finally started to learn how to read and write in English. I’ve always felt a little uncertain in my English writing abilities, and I’m blaming the late start in learning English for this.

Although I have improved a lot and gained confidence in my abilities, especially after taking an extra class in English, writing 12, where I was told of the opportunity to write this column, I am still more comfortable writing in French.

I’ll be honest; I often write stuff in French to make use of a wider vocabulary and superior grammar before trans-

lating it to English.

I remember middle school as the years when everyone’s best friend had been deprived of their status, being replaced by Google translate. Being urged to write speeches and employ more complex and advanced vocab and grammar to our writing, we relied on the Internet to provide us with these quickly.

By the time we entered high school, gone were the days when Google translate was a regular part of our lives.

French classes turned away from learning how to speak or write French, to a time to learn and talk about the things we wanted and putting our skills to use.

This year, my French class could have been renamed to encompass the highlight on philosophy in the class.

Among the kids I’m graduating with, less than 10 of them were the kids I went to elementary school with.

It’s been a long, tough way to get here, but we did it! Congratulations to all the graduates, and here’s a special shoutout to all the teachers along the way!

Courtenay Huffman is a Grade 12 student at Dr. Charles Best Secondary in Coquitlam.

OPINION CLARK HAS A CHANCE TO MAKE CHANGE

To the victor goes the spoils, cheered New York Senator William Marcy on news of the victory of Andrew Jackson to the White House in 1828. Marcy wasn’t kidding. After Jackson assumed power close to 10 per cent of government officials were fired and replaced with candidates loyal to the new president.

Yet, despite Senator Marcy’s zeal, there’s still something to be said for magnanimity in victory.

A point particularly true in B.C., where a single political formation (in one incarnation or another) has governed the province for nearly five of the last six decades.

A streak to which the B.C. Liberal party will now tack on four more years.

Because of this lopsided advantage, the real test facing Premier Christy Clark shouldn’t be over how she divvies up the goodies, but instead how she rises above that time-honoured practice to exhibit the political leadership required for the greater good of the province.

The same leadership Clark showed when she established the

office of the auditor general for local government in the face of considerable reticence from some of those same local governments.

Recently, Premier Clark presented her new cabinet. As is customary, ministers received their marching orders.

There are the obvious “to do” tasks: LNG plants, 10-year labour deals with the BCTF, and replacing the Massey Tunnel.

But in the wake of the election, Premier Clark is also in a position to cherry-pick some of the very best ideas from other parties and cherry-pick she should.

According to an Ipsos Reid exit poll of 1,400 British Columbians, the top issue influencing voters was open and honest government.

On this issue voters chose the BC NDP by a 10-per-cent margin (47 to 37 per cent).

The fourth issue was trust in a particular leader or party. The Liberals lost those voters by five per cent.

It’s easy for political operatives to sweep such inconvenient truths under the rug when they’ve just pulled off a miracle, but Liberals do need to take note: they’ve lost the trust of a significant block of voters.

One of the contributing factors to that distrust is a lack of

transparency and accountability in government, which is why it’s never too late to say “we get it,” particularly on those issues that go to the heart of how government functions and how our democratic system operates.

Fixing B.C.’s democratic deficit starts with restoring the true role of MLAs. British Columbians need to know they have a voice in Victoria on the issues that affect them in their daily lives.

Yet, MLAs can rarely speak up for those who elected them if their words run counter to their party’s position. There are no free votes in the legislature. According to journalist Sean Holman, from May 2001 to April 2012, 99.75 per cent of all the votes cast in the legislature toed the party line.

MLAs also need to lead from the front and not dig in their heels over issues such as pay and the posting of their expenses online.

Taxpayers have a right not just to know the numbers behind the province’s finances, but to have the straight goods on what those numbers will mean in the way of taxes, rate increases and tolls as well.

A government that truly wants to be open doesn’t respond to access to information requests with answers that are too cute

THE TRI-CITIES NOW | FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 2013

by half. What has become known as “oral government” needs to be consigned to the trash bin of bad ideas.

While their reports may sting, public watchdogs are supposed to have some bite, which is why their roles need to be respected and their offices given the necessary budgets to do the job.

Whistleblower protection for public sector employees is long overdue in B.C. And then there’s electoral finance reform. It’s time to cleanse B.C. politics of what one political observer called “the sewer scents,” by finally banning corporate and union donations to political parties.

B.C. has been on the cutting edge of democratic reforms in the past: fixed-date elections, recalls and citizen inspired initiatives.

There’s no reason it can’t continue on this path.

Since politics is often about comfort zones, what should make these ideas all the more appealing is that each is a position already staked out by Alberta’s right-wing Wildrose Alliance.

Place des Arts looks at expansion options John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com One of Coquitlam’s oldest and most recognizable cultural landmarks is facing a squeeze for both capacity and funding.

Board members from Place des Arts appeared before city council Monday to discuss the findings of a recent study assessing the size of the facility in relation to growth projections. The study suggests a major expansion of the site is necessary, one that could cost in the range of $12 million.

“In many areas we have reached capacity because our facility presents challenges and constraints,” said Joan Roberts, Place des Arts’ executive director.

Roberts noted the study included a market analysis, focus groups and feedback from users.

The study points to the need for

LISA KING/NOW

Joan Roberts (with professional dancer and alumnus Daniel Smith in the background) needs more classroom space. both new and expanded spaces at the Maillardville-based centre:

more reception and artisan space, additional parking and dedicated

spaces that can be devoted to specific activities.

Three proposed solutions were presented as part of the study: expand the site to the maximum space allowed under the city’s zoning; expand it in a more minor way that would not take it to that zoning threshold; or move the facility to the City Centre area.

Roberts noted Place des Arts board members are leaning towards the first option. Currently the site has about 20,000 square feet of building space, while the ideal solution would see an additional 12,000 square feet added on.

“We are bursting at the seams,” Roberts said.

Established in 1972, Place des Arts offers classes and display space catering to children and adults interested in visual arts, music, drama and drama.

The study suggests 80,000 people

visited Place des Arts, a city-owned facility, in 2012.

Roberts conceded a potential move to the City Centre area has not been thoroughly explored, and is an option the board and architect would need to re-examine. She noted that option would be difficult to reconcile, although exploring a satellite facility in the future could work.

“We are part of the community of Maillardville … splitting us up is not an option,” she said.

Coun. Lou Sekora agreed, suggesting he’s “totally opposed” to the notion of Place des Arts relocating out of Maillardville.

“That would be a disaster to Coquitlam if you moved into Coquitlam Centre,” he said.

Ultimately, Monday’s funding discussion will be brought up again as the city reworks its parks, recreation and culture master plan.

World War Z the film is nothing like the novel WORLD WAR Z

Starring: Brad Pitt, Dede Gardener Running time: 116 minutes Directed by: Marc Forster World War Z has been advertised as an adaptation of Max Brooks’ novel of the same name. This marketing ploy is as ridiculous as when The Haunting in Connecticut claimed to be a true story.

Brooks’ novel is a realistic portrayal surrounding a zombie apocalypse, from the first infestation to the end of the catastrophic war. It consists of individual accounts from tens of people. The narrative is told through interviews conducted by a UN post-war commission agent.

A book made up of close to

CINEPHILIA

Joshua Cabrita 70 different stories is essentially “unfilmable.” So why try?

Director Marc Forster understands my point. His film borrows nearly nothing from the source material. So be warned: if you are a fan of the book, don’t expect to enjoy a visual representation of it in this movie.

World War Z is a convoluted mess on nearly every level imaginable, such as technical and plot. Clearly, Forster has made a debacle plagued by rewrites and reshoots. The film was scheduled to be released last year but after the big wigs crapped their pants from seeing a financial

disaster about to happen, they halted the release so improvements could be made. If this is the new and improved version, I can only imagine the unsavoury dish that it was.

The story’s focus is lacking.

One moment the film mimics Shyamalan’s The Happening, the next it’s attempting to recreate the realism of Children of Men. In other words, it inexplicably shifts the plot from an investigation on the origins of the virus to the rather simple task of finding a cure (this underwhelming resolution can only evoke a sigh).

Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) is the detective put on the case.

Previously, he worked for the UN but quit to spend more time with his family (one of many cheesy ways of evoking compassion).

When a zombie apocalypse attacks the world, an excoworker sends a helicopter to rescue the Lane family, which means Gerry must go

The Israelis had built a wall prior to the outbreak to protect themselves from the coming apocalypse.

How did they know? Gerry goes to investigate. While in Jerusalem the infected inevitably jump the wall, killing the vast majority of the inhabitants. He flees but ends up in a destructive plane crash, leaving

SUBMITTED PHOTO

him stabbed by some metal rubble. Later, Gerry arrives at a hospital nearly dead.

The climactic scene in the hospital is undoubtedly the best part.

A claustrophobic atmosphere is created by slow camera movements and dark lighting. It doesn’t garner more than a few pop-out moments, but at least it’s not boring.

However, throughout the rest of the action sequences the camera bobs, swings and drops like a flailing, water-filled garden hose.

The action sequences are so ineptly shot that the editors had to make sense of it all by cutting together fragmented clips at a speed that leaves you dizzy. All of the flaws (technical, theme and plot) have the same effect on the viewer: boredom.

Halfway through, I didn’t think I was going to be able to stay awake. It didn’t help that the 3D glasses dulled the colour from the screen.

The creators of World War Z tried to edit a film so out of focus it was unsalvageable. What do we do with a blurred photo? What we should do with this film!

Double de Coubert is a repeat flowerer. So is the heritage Hansa. Rugosas are thorny and tend to sucker, but are very fragrant. Most rugosas are superbly disease resistant. Like other roses, they love rich feeding and water.

Landscape roses are also extremely disease-resistant.

Their healthy leaves are a pleasure to behold, but usually aren’t noticed since these bushes produce flowers from summer through to frost.

These bushes have relatively small and usually non-fragrant flowers, but stand up beautifully in difficult situations.

20 pinkish-yellow flowers in its clusters. Another interesting rhododendron is Rhododendron Augustinii, which has lavender blue flowers. All the dwarf Rhododendron yakushianums have pink or white flower clusters that are large in relation to their size. These fit nicely into small spaces.

When the other flowers fade, some roses can carry colour and fragrance through to the fall. The David Austin series produces large, double fragrant blooms for long periods, longer if reliably dead headed. One, the pink seveninch (two-metre) shrub Heritage, is said to be almost thornless.

Some rugosa roses have very large blooms and repeat flower. The white Blanc

They can handle part shade.

Their flowers are huge, sometimes 10 inches (60 cm) across. These are not grown nearly as often as herbaceous peonies, but are even more eye-catching.

Usually tree peonies are grafted, and it’s important to remove any stems emerging from the base and producing small, single peony flowers.

Rhododendrons also produce huge flower clusters and are easy to grow in our West Coast climate, not least because these woodland shrubs like a sun-shade mix and an airy, well-drained, moisture-retaining soil. Bark mulch is a good aerator if you mix it into the planting hole. The award-winning rhododendron Lem’s Cameo sometimes produces up to

other well-rotted manure.

Their flowers are at least five inches (20 cm) across and some are very fragrant.

One of the most fragrant herbaceous peonies is the heritage white, red-speckled Festiva Maxima.

These peonies develop deep red foliage in fall then die down for the winter.

Their clusters slowly expand while they survive and flower for many decades. It’s safer not to mulch the roots. Thick mulch prevents flowering.

They can be divided in fall, but flowers may be smaller for a couple of years after dividing.

Tree peonies like similar conditions to herbaceous peonies, but are shrubs that retain their woody framework and grow quite large.

n June, spectacular flowers begin unfolding that are an experience in themselves — huge blooms, intense colours and a presence that can be fondly remembered long after they fade.

Oriental poppies are one of the plants that fill this niche. An eruption of their fiery scarlet blooms, often five inches (20 cm) wide, is visible blocks away. Gentler whites and pale pinks are also available, as well as purple-reds like Patty’s Plum.

Bi-colours, picotees and fringed or lacinated petals are in nurseries.

These floppy, delicate petals are deceptive. Oriental poppies are hardy survivors in any sunny, well-drained place. Their thick tap roots

The Golden Boot Caffé, located at the corner of Ridgeway and Nelson in Coquitlam, has been in existence since August 1997. From the very beginning, owner-chef David Azzi has emphasized that he was not in competition with fast-food outlets, nor with restaurants that placed more importance on quantity than quality. For that reason the food served at the Golden Boot Caffé, whether it be the pasta, the sauces, or the desserts, is homemade.

David Azzi acquired his penchant for Italian cooking from his three Italian aunts, Tina Brunoro, Nia Galassini, and Lea Bortoluzzi.

With this experience he decided to open his own restaurant in his hometown of Coquitlam. Thus the Golden Boot Caffé was formed.

Heat can be a killer

W

ith summer here, it’s time to remind pet guardians across B.C. about the serious consequences for pets left inside cars on hot days.

Every year, the SPCA receives hundreds of complaints about dogs left in hot cars because many people still don’t grasp the danger of this situation.

Even if you park in the shade and it seems cool outside when you leave, the sun can change direction and heat up a car’s interior in no time.

Many people assume they will be just a few minutes at a bank or convenience store, only to be delayed and return too late to save their pet.

Pets left in hot cars can begin to suffer irreparable brain damage or death in as little as 10 minutes! If you see a dog languishing in a hot car, please call the BC SPCA animal cruelty hot line (1855-622-7722) the RCMP or your local police.

Before the authorities arrive, members of the public can help prevent a tragedy by attempting to find the

PAW PRINTS

Lorie Chortyk animal’s guardian.

If the car is in a mall or grocery store parking lot, for example, ask to have the owner paged over the building’s PA system. Return to the car to monitor the dog’s condition.

In addition to not leaving pets in the car at this time of year, guardians should use caution when exercising their pets under the sweltering summer sun. A lot of dogs will run and play to the point of exhaustion, and it’s the guardian’s responsibility to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Signs of heatstroke in pets include: • Exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting); • Rapid or erratic pulse; • Salivation; • Weakness and muscle

tremors; • Lack of coordination; • Convulsions or vomiting; and • Collapse.

If your dog shows symptoms of heatstroke, you should: • Immediately move the animal to a cool, shady place; • Wet the dog with cool water (do not apply ice as it constricts blood flow); • Fan vigorously to promote evaporation; • Allow the dog to drink some cool water; and • Take the dog to a veterinarian.

Learn about fossils found on Mariner Way John KURUCZ

jkurucz@thenownews.com Erica Williams is about to provide a snapshot in time from more than 16,000 years ago.

A science teacher at Riverside Secondary in PoCo, Williams will speak to the area’s geology and how it has changed at the Coquitlam Heritage Society’s annual general meeting (AGM) on Wednesday, June 26.

Her discussion will focus on dozens of fossils she found along Mariner Way and Pipeline Road in the mid-1970s.

Though they haven’t been carbon dated, Williams estimates the fossils to be between 15,000 and 16,000 years old. Some of the fossil species she’s found include clams, scallops, snails and sea urchins.

Williams was initially tipped off to the presence of those fossils by a former student who had found similar fossil species along a stretch

of Mariner between Dewdney Trunk Road and Como Lake Avenue.

“As I started poking around I ended up collecting almost 20 different species of seashore animals over the I ended up next three evenings,” Williams collecting said. almost 20 “I figured out different species fairly quickly why they were of seashore there: because animals over the land was the next three slowly rebounding after the ice evenings. was melting.”

Science teacher Erica Williams found fossils in Coquitlam in the mid-1970s. her fossil collection points to a geological process known as the glacial rebound — the rise of land masses as glaciers receded during the last ice age.

“Even though in geological times, we’re talking about recent history, it’s geology that’s changed relatively quickly over time,” Williams said.

LISA KING/NOW

“As we get more and more into the impacts of climate change and global warming, we need to have people look at the earth a little bit differently.”

The presentation starts at 7 p.m. at the library’s City Centre branch, at 1169 Pinetree Way. The society’s AGM runs before the discussion, and kicks off at 6:30 p.m.

SLIPCOVERS Slipcovers are no longer the amorphous sacks they once were. Slipcovers now come in all different price points. Spending a little more can mean getting a style that is elasticized or formfitting, which will conform to the contours of a sofa or love seat.

To get the right slipcover, measure the piece of furniture you intend to cover. Without the correct fit, even a well-crafted slipcover can look awkward and cheap. Pay

Breathe new life into older furniture by changing the knobs, draw pulls and handles.

Many times furniture comes with standard brass knobs that can look dated over time. Using sleeker, more streamlined knobs can make traditional furniture look more modern. Changing pulls from metal to wood can make a room look more earthy or country.

Home improvement stores and accessory retailers stock a wide variety of handles and knobs that can transform just about any piece of furniture. And what cannot be found in a store can most likely be purchased online.

Swapping out curtains, throw pillows and even wall art can easily and often inexpensively transform the look of a room.

Homeowners can purchase accessories with bright colours that add a pop of brightness throughout the room and can provide a pick-me-up for neutral design tones.

Sometimes less is more, and this can also pertain to home decorating. Revamping a room can be done by subtraction as well as addition. Homeowners can explore the option of taking out a piece of furniture that may be cumbersome and blocking foot traffic. Removing knickknacks from shelves and thinning out the use of collectibles can make a room more airy and inviting.

Before money is spent on changing furniture or accessories, people can look into what they can remove from the room to freshen it up.

CREATING A PAVER WALKWAY OR PATIO

2. VISIT the home improvement store or a supplier of stone and other masonry supplies to determine the style and colour of the paving stones you will use in the project. Some homeowners prefer to have the materials Add delivered to their home to curb save the hassle of extra appeal heavy lifting and moving.

Homeowners who install their own pavers can save a considerable amount of money. Because installing paving stones can be labourintensive, landscape contractors may charge a premium for installation. However, this is a project that can be tackled by the do-it-yourselfer.

1. MEASURE and plot out the area that will become the path or patio. The area of the space can be figured out by multiplying length times width. This will help you determine just how much material you will need.

Industries Inc.

Creating a walkway or patio out of paving stones can add esthetic appeal to a property. Pavers are less permanent than concrete and decking. As a result, it is easier to change the design later on if you want to give the space a new look.

3. USING a shovel or a tiller, dig down and remove the grass to a depth of four to six inches from the area that will become the path or patio.

4. FILL in the area you dug out with a paver base material, using a tamper (either manual or power-driven) to tamp down the paver base until it is level and smooth.

5. APPLY about one inch of paving sand to further level out the path or patio. This will be the

material on which the paving stones are laid.

Security Screens

6. BEGIN laying the paving stones. Leave the appropriate distance between stones desired by your pattern. If the paving stones will not have any gap and serve as a continuous patio, leave only the smallest gap between them.

7. SPREAD more paving sand on top of the paving stones and, using a broom, sweep it over the stones and into the crevices between them to set the stones.

8. CREATE the rest of the garden design around the patio or pathway using gravel, plants and even edging material to finish the look. Over time you may need to sweep more paving sand over the stones to keep them secure.

I sampled eight different wines at the tasting and I’ve jotted down some notes and ranked what I thought were the best three, in order from very good to world class.

Chateau Gazin 2010 has an expressive nose of cherries, plum, licorice and coffee. The palate has silky smooth tannins that exhibit firm but integrated tannins with a long balance and elegant finish.

Chateau BranaireDucru 2010 has scents that jump out of the glass with cassis, mocha, graphite and exotic spices. It is a finessedriven wine that displays

silky, polished tannins and a jammy, floral mid palate. The acid, fruit and tannins are in perfect balance; minutes after swallowing I could still taste this exquisite wine.

The show stopper was the Chateau Smith Haut Lafite 2010, a mind boggling display of minerality, fruit, sweet spice, leather, smoke and tobacco with hints of green olives.

Concentrated, balanced and with a super-long finish, it is truly one of the best wines I’ve ever tasted.

If you find yourself with a few extra bucks, you may want to purchase a bottle or two, but find a friend or two and share because they are truly one of life’s greatest pleasures.

!

W

hen I recently received an invitation to a tasting that included some of the best wineries in Bordeaux, France, I couldn’t resist.

Four Chateaus, which is the French equivalent of wineries, were pouring two different vintages of their wines. These wines are world class, costing up to $600 a bottle, so tasting them is not something you would typically do on a regular basis (unless your name happens to be Bill Gates).

Bordeaux is the largest wine region in France, so the quality can be very spotty.

I’ve tasted some Bordeaux that is awful: very bitter, thin and lacking in any fruit profile. The labelling can also be problematic unless you can translate French and have a basic understand of the AOC regulations that govern the French wine industry.

So it’s tough to know, but one thing is true about Bordeaux reds: the best examples hail from the smaller regions inside Bordeaux, such as Pomerol, St. Emillon, Paulliac, St. Estephe, Haut Medoc, St. Julien and Margaux.

If you see one of these regions followed by AOC on your bottle you’re close to finding a gem. But wait a minute — the other fact about the quality of Bordeaux relates to vintage, as Bordeaux’s weather can dramatically change from year to year and this greatly affects the quality of the grapes. So look for 2010, 2009, 2006 and 2005, and avoid 2004 and 2007.

Bordeaux wines are blended from up to five different grapes. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are the major ones used.

Each Chateau, however, has a different percentage of each type of grape used in its blend and that also can vary from year to year.

One thing is certain: when Bordeaux is bad it’s oh so bad, but when it’s good it’s the best wine on the planet and drinking one of these will give you sensory pleasure beyond words.

Make the most of our local strawberry crop

S

ummer is here and strawberry season is one of the most celebrated times of the year for lovers of this luscious red fruit.

I always buy an abundant amount of all fruit when it is in season, and strawberries are no exception.

Although strawberries seem to be available throughout the entire year, thanks to our friends in the south, they are not as good as the ones we get fresh right here from our local farmers.

ON FOOD Chef Dez

Imported strawberries from warmer climates have usually been cultivated in a way that produces a larger and firmer berry, more durable for transport.

This is great for having strawberries available yearround, however these cultivation methods are also the culprit for producing a berry that usually is not as sweet or flavourful as its locally available counterparts.

Thus we tend to rely on sweeteners and flavour enhancers, such as sugar or chocolate, when serving them. A small amount of balsamic vinegar is also, surprisingly, a great way to bring out the flavour of fresh strawberries.

Strawberries are very perishable and should be handled and stored with care.

First of all, never buy a basket of strawberries that contains any spoiled ones.

Although it may only be one berry, microscopic mold spores have already been transferred to adjacent berries in the basket. This will lead to the whole basket of fruit deteriorating faster.

Since washing and handling of the berries will also increase the rapidness of spoilage, only wash the amount needed and leave the others untouched.

The washing of strawberries should only be done with the whole berry intact.

If the green top is removed, you will find that the center is somewhat hollow. This cavity will collect water and dramatically reduce (water down) the amount of flavour.

Unwashed leftover berries should be stored in the refrigerator in a covered container to keep their “musty” odour from dispersing throughout. A drain tray in this container would be ideal, as it would aid in circulating air within, by keeping any moisture trapped at the bottom and away from the berries.

Freezing is another option for preservation; however,

as with most fragile fruit you lose quality.

Strawberries are high in vitamin C and the most optimal way of maintaining their nutritional value is to leave them whole.

Cut strawberries have more surface area, and thus lose nutrients faster.

To prepare them for freezing, wash the berries intact, pat them dry, remove the green tops, transfer them to a freezer bag and use them within the next six months for best results.

There are many dishes that you can prepare using strawberries. The most traditional are desserts such as strawberry shortcake and chocolate-dipped strawberries.

However, they also work great as tid-bits on cheese platters, or make them into a salsa to spoon over grilled chicken or fish.

Many people have never made a salsa out of fruit, but it is very simple and the contrasting flavours are very complementary to the grilled fish or meat it is being served upon.

To make a great strawberry salsa, just add an assortment of items to smalldiced strawberries, such as red onion, yellow bell pepper, jalapeño, cilantro and lime juice, and season with

a little salt and pepper. You will be amazed at the results — and since it is strawberry season, the time to experiment is now.

Dear Chef Dez: “I have attempted to make chocolate-covered strawberries in the past, but they never turn out the way they should.

When they are bitten into, the hard chocolate coating breaks apart and falls onto the plate instead of staying on the berry.

What can I do to prevent this?”

Tracey S. Mission Dear Tracey: When you melt the chocolate to dip the strawberries into, also melt butter with it and mix it together to form your chocolate coating.

Once your strawberries are dipped, chill them in the refrigerator to set, but bring them almost to room temperature before serving.

The butter will soften the coating, just as room temperature butter is softer than room temperature chocolate.

Use two ounces of butter for every four ounces of chocolate.

Cheetahs take BC spots in stride

WILSON WONG/PNG FILE

A fast quartet, from left, Benjamin Ayesu-Attah, James Linde, Hodson Harding and Nathan George, shown above sharing some downtime during the B.C. High School champioinships two years ago, will be representing B.C. at various national competitions this summer.

George are in Moncton, NB this weekend for the Canadian senior national championships, racing in the 400- and 200m events, respectively. Joining them are Port Moody’s Natasha Fraser, who is competing in the women’s 10,000m race, and Coquitlam native and Langley trained Kyle Nielsen, in men’s javelin.

SPORTS SHORTS PEEWEE A’S TOP POPS

The Coquitlam peewee A1 Adanacs enjoyed a great week of minor lacrosse in Port Coquitlam, capturing the Pop Styles tournament title.

The Adanacs proved unstoppable, topping archrival Port Coquitlam 7-3 in the final.

Netting the MVP award was Tanner Oake.

The A’s include: Rylan Armstrong, James Bohn, Liam and Stuart Chernoff, Michael Dale, Connor Dauncey, Charley Dawson, Jackson Desjarlais, Christian Fitzgerald, J.D. Johnson, Marcello Mannarino, Bailey McKinney, Brad Smith-Barnett, Cullen Vogt, Carter Williams.

for his second year at the University of Idaho — but will first squeeze in the World University Games in Russia later this month. Harding is preparing for his second year at Rice University, while Esinam Ayesu-Attah is doing the same for the University of Windsor.

George and Linde are entering their sophomore seasons at Trinity

A’S SILENCE THUNDER

Behind another rocket start, the Coquitlam junior Adanacs stormed past the Langley Thunder 13-8 on Wednesday.

Coquitlam scored six unanswered goals in the first period, including Steven Neufeld’s marker just 25 seconds into the game. While Langley outscored the A’s 8-7 the rest of the way, it couldn’t bridge the gap.

Wesley Berg led the way with three goals and four assists, while Reid Reinholdt tallied three times and set up two others. Evan Wortley added two goals, with singles by Tyler Garrison, Vincent Ricci, Cole Schafer and JeanLuc Chetner, in his first game back.

Turning aside 37 shots was Davide DiRiscio.

ine

In the midst of her final weeks at Gleneagle Secondary, Coquitlam’s Sydney Veljacic received the news that she had been named to Canada’s Junior Under-21 National field hockey team in preparation for the Junior World Cup in Germany next month.

Veljacic, 18, was selected to the squad after impressing team coaches during her appearances over the past two seasons with the national u-17 and u-21 teams.

A midfielder, Veljacic helped guide B.C. to gold at last year’s u-18 junior nationals, and back-to-back u-16 titles in 2010-11.

Veljacic will head to the University of Maine on a scholarship after the Junior Worlds.

EWART TOPS FOR DAD

For the second time this year, Coquitlam teen A.J. Ewart picked up a Canadian Junior Golf Association Nike series title.

This time, he did it for Dad. “I wanted to win the tournament for my dad on Father’s Day,” Ewart said in a press release. “My putting was off but my driver was good and I hit a lot of fairways.”

Ewart bested Perry Xin for the bantam boys title with a five-over 149 (72, 77), but needed a playoff to do it. Ewart sank a two-foot par putt, while Xin bogied the extra hole.

In the 15-19 boys division, Port Moody’s Noah Guise shot 166 (84-82) to place 18 shots back of first place Darren Day.

sonal best of 53 seconds. It bested his previous top mark, which was also the national standard, of 54.06 seconds.

The Cheetahs also had seven athletes declared eligible for junior national competition — Esinam Ayesu-Attah, Miranda Menzies, Adeyemi Taylor-Lewis, George, Harding, Linde and Tjernagel.

From the event, hosted by the Coquitlam Cheetahs two weeks ago at Percy Perry Stadium, a group of six earned tickets to Sherbrooke, Que., and the Canada Games in August.

Siblings Benjamin and Esinam Ayesu-Attah, Nathan George, Hodson Harding, James Linde and Raquel Tjernagel each clinched a position on Team B.C. for the national meet.

Linde met the standard for the 100-metre, while George qualified in the 200m and Benjamin Ayesu-Attah in the 400m. His sister, Esinam, made the women’s 200m standard.

Harding will join George and AyesuAttah in the men’s 4 x 400m relay.

Sixteen-year-old Tjernagel, meanwhile, qualified in her first year of eligibility, in the girls 400m.

“She’s a pretty talented kid,” remarked Cheetahs head coach Tara Self of the New Westminster runner.

“She has a soccer background but track is very different. We saw this coming but she actually ran her best time a week earlier at the B.C. (High School) championships, a 54.45 but was disappointed to finish second.

“I was worried that it would carry over but she did great and bounced right back.”

The club’s overall showing was impressive, noted Self.

“They all ran really well. For many it’s about meeting a top-three (time).

They all stepped up and did what they needed to do on the day.”

The older sprinters have had little to no breathing room from their college track commitments, Self noted, stretching their abilities to the max.

Zinn comes home to join T-birds

Fresh off its heady climb to the Canadian Interuniversity Sports championships in early spring, the University of B.C. Thunderbirds women’s ice hockey program has scored a key off-season goal.

UBC announced this week that Coquitlam’s Katie Zinn is joining the club for the 2013-14 season.

Zinn, a five-foot-seven forward who played the past year at Penn State University, is transferring closer to home after two seasons of U.S. hockey.

“I’m excited to return home to Canada and play under coach (Graham) Thomas,” said Zinn in a press release. “I am very fortunate to be given this opportunity and am looking forward to being a part of the Thunderbird legacy.”

That legacy saw UBC capture its firstever Canada West title, and place fifth at the nationals.

As a freshman at Penn State, Zinn scored once and set up three others over 12 games. She also posted a .500 winning percentage on faceoffs.

A Tri-City Predators product, the 19year-old entered Penn State after spending a year at Gilmour Academy pre school in Ohio.

“We’re looking forward to Katie adding some skill and experience to our group,” noted Thomas. “If she comes to camp prepared and earns an opportunity, she has shown to be a point producer on her previous teams.”

Grace athletes gather gold at BCs

For six Grace Gymnastics athletes, gold was a prominent colour emerging from the provincial Rhythmic Gymnastics championships in North Vancouver two weeks ago.

Leading the march was senior individual competitor Jessica Li, who topped the provincial senior individual all-around, free, hoop and ball routines.

Sabrina Chu and Anika Gong teamed up to claim first place in duo ball and ribbon routine, while the trio of Elyssa Ricci, Claire Tatham and Milena Wilson scooped up gold in group trio hoops.

It was a strong trend for the Port Moody-based club, which sent 15 athletes to the competition.

Collecting silver all-around in individual were junior Ariona Curiel, who duplicated her secondplace showings in free, rope and ball routines, and Ricci, with silver in ball, third in rope and fourth in free.

In Novice Level 2, Tatham stood third all-around, with bronze in both free and ball routines and fourth in rope. Also collecting all-around bronze was Kamilla Nyazullah in Pre-novice Level 2, with third in rope and ball and fourth in free.

Annie Yin captured silver in Novice Level 2 rope en route to fourth overall. She came in fifth in ball and sixth in free. Shannon Song scored bronze in both Junior Level 3 free and hoop and fourth in ball to place fourth all-around.

Marking the end of a successful season, Grace Gymnastics athletes Elyssa Ricci, Claire Tatham and Milena Wilson won gold all-around in trio hoops competition at the provincials earlier this month.

WILKIE, John (Jack) E. August 2, 1926 - June 14, 2013

With heavy hearts we say goodbye to Jack Wilkie who passed away June 14, 2013, at age 86 at his home in Port Coquitlam. Jack was a kind, caring and generous man with a quiet strength that carried him through life.

Jack will be greatly missed by his children, Janice, John (Jennifer), Jim (Kelly), grandsons, Conor, Ronnie, Jack and Luke along with friend and former wife Hilda.

After moving from Saskatchewan to Vancouver with his parents and siblings as a youngster, Jack proudly served as a paratrooper in the Canadian Army during World War II. He distinguished himself with a long safe-driving record for Texaco and Petro Canada while delivering gas in tanker trucks around the Lower Mainland before his retirement in 1994. Wilkie Avenue in Coquitlam got its name from him.

His extended family and many friends will miss his conversation, humour, generosity and company. We were all very blessed to have shared time with him and cherish all the memories.

Jack was preceded in death by his sisters Verla and Audrey and brother Merl. He is survived by his sister Ina and brothers Jim, Del and Terry.

A memorial service will take place at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, June 23, at Victoria Hall at 3435 Victoria Drive, Coquitlam.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in his memory to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
