MLA-elect asks council to decide on a byelection

Details below.

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Two Coquitlam city councillors will be sworn in as MLAs next week.

But it’s unclear if their departures will mean municipal voters will head to the polls in the fall to fill their seats for the rest of the term.

O n M o n d ay, c i t y council will consider a request made by councillors Linda Reimer, the BC Liberal MLAelect for Port Moody-

unpaid leaves of absence starting June 10 and ending Jan. 3, 2014, † to after which they plan formally quit their civic jobs, as permitted under the Local Government Act. If city council approves their unusual requests, it would mean their seats would not be filled until the next general election, to be held in November 2014.

The councillors are citing the cost of a byelection — estimated at around $130,000 to $150,000 plus associated staff costs — as reasons for seeking unpaid leaves.

From ‘murderball’ to modelling?

Paralyzed at 15, a Coq. woman builds her life

IF You’D LIKE to VotE

Voting for the Lise watier something sweet contest (somethingsweet.lisewatier.com/en) ends June 8.

By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News

J

essica Kruger’s beauty is distracting as the 20-year-old with wavy brown and blond locks and a hot pink pout opens the door of her Maillardville home on Sunday morning.

The B.C. wheelchair rugby athlete is squashing stereotypes with every move she makes because, like anyone her age, her future is just beginning.

But it has taken some time and a great deal of effort to get where she is.

Six years ago this month, with two months of summer vacation ahead of her, the thenMaillardville middle school student, who was 15 years old at the time, was earning spending money by painting houses.

While standing on the second storey of a house, Kruger suddenly blacked out and fell 20 feet to the ground below. She awoke to the sounds of panicked screams and the sirens of the ambulance coming to take her to the hospital as the June sun warmed her face.

Kruger spent five months recovering from her accident at GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre in Vancouver. Afterwards, she was an outpatient for another five months, during which time she was introduced to wheelchair sports.

The one-time basketball and softball athlete couldn’t fathom playing competitive sports again.

And because of the nature of her injury — Kruger broke her neck in four places and damaged her spine in three spots — she knew that playing basketball was out of the question.

In the end, it was wheelchair rugby that resonated with Kruger.

“Honestly, it’s just an incredible community of people,”she says.“And I like the contact aspect of it.”

Kruger explains how wheelchair rugby — which also goes by the moniker“murderball”— is played on a regulation basketball court. Players score points by wheeling with the ball past cones in the end zone. One of the obstacles in the sport is having to dribble the ball every 10 seconds.

Kruger is currently the only female and youngest player on the coed, provincial wheelchair rugby team. She plays on the development team, which placed fourth during the national championships in May.

IN QuotES

“I think my accident has opened more doors than I ever had before.”

“I think Rick Hansen is a wellknown role model — someone who turned a bad situation into something positive.”

Jessica Kruger (at left, with mom Mary) is a well-known role model — someone who turned a bad situation into something positive,” she says.

A fourth-year Simon Fraser University English Literature major, she also has plans to become a teacher.

Another one of her life’s passions is cake decorating. Friends and family call on Kruger to create ornate cakes for special occasions including weddings.

Her mom Mary proudly pulls out the photos showcasing her daughter’s handiwork.

She becomes misty eyed when talking about Jessica.

“I just think she has come so far,”says Mary.

“She could only move her arm a small amount, after the accident. She has worked so hard and has huge determination.”

The sport has afforded Kruger the ability to travel, something else she thought she could never do again. A year after the accident, Kruger and her sister Leah went on an African safari.

“It was pretty incredible,”says Kruger of that adventure.“I was excited

to see anything was possible.”

Rugby and vacations were a welcome distraction for Kruger in the years after that fateful day in 2007.The long-term challenges she would face didn’t really hit home until year three of her recovery.

“I definitely went

through a denial stage,” recalls Kruger.“I really struggled.There were recurrent health issues that were super frustrating.”

SILVER LINING

All things considered, Kruger exudes a unique positivity.

“I think my accident has opened more doors

than I ever had before,” she says.

Today, Kruger is a speaker for WorkSafeBC, educating the public on workplace safety. She has also just started working with the Rick Hansen Foundation and admires and draws strength from the Man in Motion.

“I think Rick Hansen

Kruger couldn’t believe a boy was interested in dating her after the accident.

“At that point, I didn’t think anybody in high school was going to be able to see past the wheelchair,”she says.

She met Raj, a Maillardville classmate, at a party and he asked for her number.

It was not a conventional courtship — there were doctors’ appointments and then the ultimate test of their relationship: Kruger spent two weeks in the ICU with a collapsed lung.

Raj, then 17 years old, never left her side.

“He’s absolutely amazing,”says Kruger of her boyfriend of four years.

Mom nods her head in agreement.

“At the end of the day, I know he means it when he says I’m beautiful,” continues Kruger.“He’s proved his worth to me.”

The couple is planning a trip to Mexico this summer. But first, Kruger has another exciting project: She is vying to be the face of cosmetic company Lise Watier’s Something Sweet perfume campaign, entering the contest after some gentle nudging from a friend.

“I think the goal is to change society’s perception of what people with disabilities are capable of doing,”says Kruger of her application.“So they are not shocked when they open a magazine and see a model with a disability.”

Kruger purposely made sure you could see her signature pink wheelchair in the photo she submitted for the contest. The winner is determined through online voting from the public.

As of Tuesday afternoon, Kruger was in the lead out of 400 contestants, including one woman who has close to 9,000 Facebook friends and was once a contestant on a reality TV show.

“It’s insane, I never expected people to be invested in those whole thing,”says Kruger.“It’s so stressful. I’m trying not to check the website 15 times a day.” newsroom@tricitynews.com

Raising cash for PoCo’s Rush Port Coquitlam resident and Douglas College student Sarah Rush has been diagnosed with not one but two debilitating diseases, complicating spinal surgery that will have to be done in the U.S., according to a recent testimonial on the fundraising site www. indiegogo.com (search for Rush’s name and you’ll find “Sarah’s Race to Lose the Neck Brace”). To help cover the cost of the surgery, her family is holding two fundraising events: a car wash this Sunday, June 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Prairie Service, 1976 Prairie Ave.; and a pizza night at Omega Pizza on Tuesday, June 11 (call 604-941-0341 to order; if you order, say you are part of the Sarah Rush fundraiser). As well, bottles can also be refunded in Rush’s name at the Biggar Bottle Depot, 2577 Kingsway Ave., Port Coquitlam.

The Mossom Creek watershed is a unique environmental jewel in what could well be a sizeable new development — and the Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society (BIMES) hopes to keep it that way.

The society has sent a proposal to Imperial Oil, owners of the 232 acres straddling Anmore and Port Moody that are now up for sale to potential developers, that suggests the land be donated as an “eco-gift.”

“We think it will be a win-win for everyone — for Imperial Oil, for the city, for the forest and for the watershed,” said Ruth Foster, BIMES secretary.

The proposal was sent to Imperial Oil’s board of directors in Calgary in May, drawing its attention to a “financially beneficial program offered

by Environment Canada whereby property owners can donate ecologically sensitive land to protect nature and leave a legacy for future generations.”

The Ecological Gifts program offers significant tax breaks to landowners

who donate land to qualified recipients, including eliminating capital gains tax on the donated property.

“Normally, [Imperial Oil] would pay a great deal of capital gains tax on the sale of that land... and the eco-gift program makes it so it may be just as profitable to eco-gift it as to sell it to a developer,” Foster said.

Earlier this spring, Imperial Oil issued an information package to developers inviting them to bid on the Ioco lands, one of the “largest remaining prime residential development sites in Metro Vancouver.” Most of the Ioco lands — 150 acres — are in Anmore, with the remaining 82 acres in Port Moody.

After considering initial letters of interest, a short list of qualified buyers was given access to additional data on the property, with formal letters of intent due

by June 12.

Foster said it’s too early to speculate on how much of the Ioco property BIMES would like to see protected, noting that would require a formal surveying and appraisal process.

“But we’re interested in protecting as much of the forested watershed as possible,” she said, including

the Mossom Creek watershed and connections to north Schoolhouse Creek.

“It just has stunning biodiversity in it, both the plant and animal life is abundant and varied,” with provincially blue-listed (animals whose habitat is threatened) species including the tailed and redlegged frog as well as bobcats, black bears, blacktailed deer, flying squirrels, pileated woodpeckers and barred owls. A wolverine was also spotted in the watershed a few years ago, Foster said, adding the forest boasts mature Douglas fir, hemlock and cedar trees, with creeks bearing cutthroat trout, chum and coho salmon.

“Think about Stanley Park and the foresight of those people long ago, and what it’s meant to future generations,” Foster said.

“We have to be thinking in terms of that kind of legacy here in the Tri-Cities.”

Foster said both Wesbild and Parklane have been in touch with BIMES to discuss environmental issues on the Ioco lands.

BIMES will be meeting with representatives from Imperial Oil and Cushman and Wakefield, the firm handling the land sale, as well as planner Michael Geller, on Friday to discuss the proposal. spayne@tricitynews.com

SD quarterly reports will start in Sept. continued from front page

Th e Po r t M o o dy trustee said, “Everybody will be on the same page.”

The board’s efforts to resolve its financial difficulties have won only cautious approval from the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association, however.

Teresa Grandinetti, who is now CTA pastpresident after recent elections, said she is pleased the board took seriously the concerns of teachers and support workers to hire forensic auditors to look closer at the books.

But she’s also worried about what the review will reveal.

“I don’t know what the audit’s going to find,” she said,“it could be worse.”

And she noted that the full extent of this year’s deficit isn’t known ($8.2 million is the latest projection) and will result likely result in more cost cutting in future years.

Hyndes confirmed that the results of the audit — expected to cost between $75,000 and $100,000 — will be made public, except possibly for sensitive information.

The first quarterly report will likely be shared at the end of September, when enrolment figures

CTA has new prez The new president of the Coquitlam Teachers’ Association is Charley King, replacing Teresa Grandinetti, who remains pastpresident and newly elected member at large to the BC Teachers’ Federation.

Grandinetti leaves the CTA job as School District 43 winds up its budget process for next year, which resulted in $12.5 million in cuts to offset a $12.1-million deficit.

Grandinetti said she will be seeking a post to return to her position as a counsellor within the school district as well as keeping up with her BCTF responsibilities.

The CTA’s annual general meeting will be held June 17 in the multipurpose room at Gleneagle secondary school.

The name, acknowledging the school’s proximity to both Sasamat and Buntzen lakes, was chosen by School District 43 trustees after a public consultation process in which 40 names were submitted.

The two other top choices were Eagle Mountain and Anmore, with the name Anmore the preferred option of Anmore village council.

MELISSA HYNDES are confirmed for the new school year.

“That will be a telltale sign of how things are going,”she said.

Up until now, the enrolment numbers used to determine provincial grants have been a“rollercoaster” but Hyndes said she hopes the district’s projections are“spot on.”

Hyndes also said with the decisions made Tuesday, including approval of a $300-million budget bylaw, the district has turned a corner and can now focus on education issues, including moving ahead with the district’s personalized learning agenda.

“I think the message that I’d like to put out there is that we will be delivering education as we always have in Coquitlam — a high quality of education.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Tri-City News Friday, June 7, 2013, A9

Liberals’ Kim says he won’t appeal continued from front page

In a letter dated June 5 and sent to Mayor Richard Stewart and councillors (also forwarded it to The TriCity News yesterday), Robinson wrote about her concerns of having two council seats vacant for 18 months and council’s ability to maintain a quorum of four councillors plus the mayor.

“This can severely compromise council in its efficiency and its ability to make timely decisions,” Robinson wrote, adding, “I am writing to offer Coquitlam council the opportunity to reflect on its needs for proper discussion, debate and

decision-making along with council’s commitment to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars.

“I will leave it to Coquitlam council, in its wisdom, to do what’s best for the residents of Coquitlam in the area of appropriate civic representation,” Robinson wrote.

Apart from the byelection costs, the city would save $53,836 per year, per councillor, in salaries and benefits — translating to around $170,500 until November 2014.

But if city council proceeds with a byelection — as is common practice under the Local Government Act for mid-term departures —

he would continue with the C3 Korean Canadian Society and “working on building a relationship with the community.”

“I think it’s terrific that Selina is now an MLA,” said Port Coquitlam NDP MLA Mike Farnworth, a veteran caucus member.

“I’m really, really pleased with the results and I had no doubt that she would pull it off. She will be a strong representative in Victoria.”

The new provincial cabinet under BC Liberal Premier Christy Clark will be sworn in on Monday, with BC Liberal MLAs sworn in on Tuesday and BC NDP MLAs on Wednesday.

See Letters on this topic, page A12 a chief election officer would be appointed and a byelection would be held within 80 days, likely in late October, said deputy city clerk Kerri Lore.

A byelection would be Coquitlam’s third in as many terms: in 2010 and 2007, Coun. Neal Nicholson won in both campaigns, besting second-place finishers Terry O’Neill in the former and Linda Reimer in the latter.

Meanwhile, Robinson told The Tri-City News on Wednesday she was thrilled with the results following the judicial recount that placed her

41 votes over BC Liberal candidate Steve Kim. Her victory means the swing riding of Coquitlam-Maillardville will stay NDP. It was previously held by the NDP’s Diane Thorne (2005-’13); BC Liberal MLA Richard Stewart (2001-’05); and NDP stalwart John Cashore (1991-2001).

Yesterday, Kim said he would not appeal the results of the judicial recount (the deadline to do so was 4:30 p.m. Thursday). “At this point in time, I am looking to take in the experience,” Kim said, noting

eplacing the aging Pattullo Bridge won’t be done overnight and the process to choose the best option is far from over.

But along with the discussion of options should be a conversation about the right way to fund road and transit infrastructure.

While few would argue in favour of simply rehabilitating the old bridge, even if it’s cheaper, whatever route or option is chosen it won’t come cheap. In fact, depending on the choice, $1 billion is a number that’s being suggested, requiring an infusion of cash and, probably, tolls.

There is no question that building new road and transit infrastructure costs money: The Evergreen Line at $1.4 billion and the Port Mann/Highway 1 rebuild at $3.3 billion were costly; they both require either fares or tolls to help cover the cost, along with senior government cash. The Seato-Sky Highway, meanwhile, cost $600 million to refurbish in time for the Olympics and there is no toll.

As we move through the next stage of infrastructure planning, it’s time to look longer term at how roads, bridges and public transit are paid for and the best way to apply tolls fairly.

he other day, I was thinking about how my needs often aren’t that different from those of my toddler.

Like toddlers, there are times when parents need to vent.

We need to learn. We need our choices to feel validated. We need to socialize.

And for all this, we need support.

I’m fortunate to have a loving, supportive family but on weekdays, it’s mainly the dynamic duo of Elise and me. And as much as I love my daughter, sometimes I need to talk with someone who can put together more than a four-word sentence.

My salvation? Family drop-in programs.

On weekday mornings, I often take Elise to Semiahmoo Family Place (SFP), a family resource centre in South Surrey, or to a StrongStart BC program in Cloverdale. The two early learning programs — the first a

non-profit with a nominal fee and the latter a program funded by the Ministry of Education — have become a regular part of my schedule, places we go to without second thought.

From our first day, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home by the educators, not to mention the fellow moms, dads and caregivers who bring their babies, toddlers and preschool-aged children to the programs.

Nowadays, when my daughter and I leave our house in the morning, I look forward to finding out what familiar faces I’ll see that day. And I noticed, while sending out e-vites for Elise’s second birthday, that many of my friends are new within the past year. These are fellow moms I’ve met through SFP and StrongStart and with whom I now make play dates outside the programs.

Elise and I would have a bad case of ennui — or we would have spent a lot more money on other activities — if it weren’t for these two places.

And how sane would I be today without the people I’ve met there? Sitting with another

LOCAL PARENT RESOURCES

mom who has gone through similar trials while our children do puzzles has done wonders for my mental well-being, which in turn makes me a better parent.

I might be a more attentive parent at these programs as well, a sentiment echoed in a conversation I had with another mom. At StrongStart, she noted, she’s not worried about dirty dishes and unwashed laundry, and can devote her attention more fully to her daughter. Now, my impression

of this mom is that she’s a great mom all the time.

But I get her point. At home there are meals to be made, floors to be swept.

Of course, I wouldn’t take Elise if she didn’t look forward to it. She eagerly talks of seeing the educators at StrongStart and SFP (mentioning them often gets us out the door in a more timely fashion) and asks by name if her little friends will be there. She finds joy in dancing during circle time, attempting crafts, moulding Play-Doh and discovering new toys.

Pamphlets on community resources are also available at the programs and the educators themselves are endless sources of information, even if it’s simply in watching how they interact with the children.

These two programs have enriched my past year as a parent, and have surely positively affected Elise’s development as well. I hope they continue to receive the support from the community and provincial government that they deserve.

’ve said it before: I don’t like dry grads.

Despite the best intentions of their dedicated parent organizers, dry grads don’t protect grads from alcohol-related tragedies on grad weekend.

A bit of history might help here: Grad weekend used to involve a school-sanctioned dinner/dance followed by student parties and perhaps a grad breakfast at someone’s house the next day.

Grad dinners were held in schools in late June and, so, students all over B.C. held post grad parties on the same June night. As a result, heartbreaking grad-night tragedies were often splashed all over newspaper front pages the next day.

Terrified parents began to organize dry grads, to corral their kids on grad night and save them from alcohol-related tragedies.

For years, grads refused to attend dry grads instead of their own postgrad parties but parents persisted and grads soon realized they could attend dry grad without sacrificing their own celebrations.

The kids simply postponed their parties and the grad“camping”trip was born, changing grad from an overnight experience to a four- or five-day blowout.

So, ironically, dry grads didn’t

attended drinking opportunities in remote areas.

And beyond this futility, what message does dry grad send teenagers?

As students complete their schooling, at this most teachable moment, the final message we give grads is that we need to protect them from being irresponsible with alcohol on grad night.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against after-grads, just those with “dry”in their title and as their purpose.

Mercifully, these events are evolving. My colleague Andy poignantly describes his positive experience, an after-grad party that supplied grads an exciting venue to spend more time with classmates rather than at some cliquey house party.

That’s an admirable goal. We only need to drop“dry”from the name and the aim. Just call it“after-grad” and advertise it as a grad celebration gift from parents to grads. Then ask students to set the rules for their celebration.

You can bet that their rules would be a lot tougher than ours.

And guess what their first rule would be?

The Editor, Re. “Action needed” (Opinion, The Tri-City News, May 24).

I agree with your editorial that there needs to be more sensible rules about city councillors transitioning to MLAs or MPs. I would suggest having a temporary person fill in the MLA post until it is practical for a councillor to resign his or her city post. This way, the work of both councillor and MLA are done.

The Editor, Re. “No trans. vote” (Opinion, The Tri-City News, May 22).

Great editorial but don’t hold your breath. it has been obvious for years that the BC Liberals aren’t interested in transit. The numerous changes in TransLink structure and the refusal of the Liberals to provide steady funding are proof.

Not that the NDP would have been any better. It is painfully obvious that the decision makers (politicians and business people) are transit-illiterate, unlike those in other countries, where major towns have great transit systems.

Perhaps Jeff Nagel, the Black Press and bclocalnews.com regional reporter whose articles on transit you frequently publish, could ask the premier, the B.C. transportation minister and TransLink board members what actual experience of rapid transit they have, not just in Vancouver but in Toronto, Montreal and other towns in several well-known countries.

PoCo pols on the web

Participating in council meetings will be easier for Port Coquitlam residents after the city launched its new web streaming initiatives this week.

Now, people can watch meetings live online at www.portcoquitlam.ca/ councilagendas from their home computer, smartphone or tablet.

“We’ve already seen success in leveraging the internet to increase accountability and community engagement in a cost-effective way,” said PoCo Mayor Greg Moore.

“This is a new opportunity for citizen participation and education about city issues.”

Viewers will also be able to rewind, fast forward, clip segments and share videos of archived meetings on social media.

In the future, the city is considering using online tools that would enable residents to submit questions and comments electronically during the broadcast.

PoCo council meetings take place at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, excluding statutory holidays, when the meetings are moved to Tuesdays.

Pedestrian tunnel, bike routes pondered Kingsway Avenue site of planned PoCo bike route

to cost $900,000, which Currie said he expects will be split between the city, TransLink and the provincial government.

Another mixeduse trail from Welcher

By Gary McKenna

Avenue to Wilson Avenue and the city plans on adding several signed bike routes, including one along Fraser Avenue from Shaughnessy Street to Wellington

The Tri-CiTy News

A large pedestrian tunnel burrowed next to the Shaughnessy Street underpass is just one of several significant possible infrastructure projects the city of Port Coquitlam is considering in its draft master transportation plan.

If the project goes forward, a walkway 4 m wide and 3 m high running parallel with Shaughnessy Street would separate cyclists and pedestrians from the flood of vehicle traffic that flows underneath the train tracks.

Dave Currie, PoCo’s manager of transportation, said the new walkway would not replace the existing sidewalk located on the east side of the underpass, which pedestrians may wish to use at night for safety reasons.

“We would retain a pedestrian access through the underpass,” he said.

“Later at night, some may wish to walk through that space.”

A consultant looked at the possibility of widening the underpass but that plan was deemed too expensive and too disruptive to the CP Rail operations overhead and the traffic that flows underneath.

Street underpass upgrade is just one of several infrastructure projects being considered in PoCo’s draft master transportation plan.

Over the last few months the city has been collecting information from residents that will help staff prioritize a halfdozen projects expected to be built over the next five to 10 years.

One of those projects is the Kingsway Avenue mixed-use trail that would connect Wilson Avenue with Broadway Street and the bike lane over the Coast Meridian Overpass. PoCo has sought permission from BC Hydro to use land along the north side of the road owned by the Crown corporation to build the trail.

Addiction, compassion are keys to new school course Inspiration came from Olympian and teacher’s life

By Diane Strandberg The TrI-CITy News

A Coquitlam educator has received approval to teach high school students a course on understanding addiction.

But Leah Pells says what she hopes students learn during the fourcredit course is not just the physiology of addiction but how to be more compassionate towards those suffering from it.

“These people aren’t making a choice about being addicted,”said Pells.

“Some of them have been traumatized. They need support and care.”

Pells knows whereof she speaks. In 2004, her mother died of conditions related to alcohol addiction and Pells more recently wrote a book, Not About the Medal, about her tumultuous upbring-

D. STRANDBERG/ThE TRi-ciTy NEwS

Leah Pells is a three-time Olympic middle-distance runner who missed a bronze medal in the 1996 Summer Olympics by a half second.

She was inducted in the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame in 2011. ing and how she was inspired to become an Olympic runner.

She now tells students that her mother was an inspiration because she passed on to her daughter the desire to be compassionate and tolerant, and Pells hopes some

of this understanding and awareness comes through in the course.

“For me, it’s an obligation to help and care for others. That’s what we should all be doing.”

The course was one of four approved by the School District 43 board of education Tuesday. In addition to Understanding Addiction 12, trustees also approved: • Women’s Studies 12, studying the lives of women in work, the arts and other cultures; • Sport Science 12, a study of sports science and the human body to prepare students for kinesiology studies; • and French Immersion Sociology 12.

Pells said she was pleased the board approved her program, which was developed using research from her masters in counselling studies at UBC. Any teacher can use it for any class of Grade 12 students but it was

developed with CABE (Coquitlam Alternate Basic Education) students in mind.

It took a year to develop and will cover topics such as the roots of addiction as well as treatment and recovery for addiction. Some of the things students will learn is the difference between an addicted brain and a non-addicted brain, different models of addiction and how addiction affects both personal lives and society.

Arguing that the socalled “War on Drugs” hasn’t been successful, but has in fact marginalized people who are already hurting, Pells said that shedding light on the issue and making more people aware of it is among her goals for teaching Understanding Addiction to high school students.

“If we could create way more compassion, that’s a good place to start,” she said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Nestlings are being nurtured into adulthood continued from front page

Still, it will be uphill battle to nurture all five to adulthood — and another three weeks before the nestlings can eat solid food that matches their natural diet — according to wildlife rehabilitator Janelle Stephenson.

“It is hard when the nestlings are so young because it is difficult to mimic the exact diet they would get from their parents in the wild,”

Wildlife Rescue Association of BC is holding a flying fundraiser: Three women, calling themselves the Diving Divas, are planning a tandem skydive to raise $5,000 for the organization, and only one of them has skydiving experience. For more information, visit www.wildliferescue.ca.

Stephenson said. “But they are gaining weight and feeding well at the moment which is a good sign.”

The birds will be released when they are fully flighted and can

feed and fend for themselves. Brooks said they will learn to fly in a large aviary for that purpose and when they are returned to the wild in about five or six weeks, they will be taken to a

park near where they were found.

The nestlings are among hundreds of birds from 24 different species that are being looked after at the WRA’s Burnaby facility and the Tri-Cities is a major source. According to the organization, approximately 30% of the 4,100 orphaned animals brought to the Burnaby rescue centre each year are from the Tri-Cities, and while the organiza-

tion gets no city funding to operate, it hopes to change that in the future.

On May 13, representatives from WRA visited Coquitlam council seeking support for the group’s rehabilitation and education work. Most of its $850,000 budget comes from private donations, little from government.

For more information about the organization and how to donate, visit www.wildliferescue.ca. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Input sought on new sports facility in Coq. Dry-floor facility would serve ball hockey, lacrosse and soccer

The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam sports groups and teams are being asked for their input to design a new indoor sports court that — if approved by city council — could be open as early as 2015.

Coun. Craig Hodge, who heads up the city’s sports council, said invitations are being sent out to 30 community sports leaders for a workshop on June 18 that will look at the needs for a dry-floor facility.

Consultants hired by the city last fall have shortlisted four locations for such a court but those sites aren’t being disclosed publicly at this time.

Hodge said the venue is required immediately to accommodate sports such as lacrosse, ball hockey and soccer, noting the city hasn’t added any dry-floor space in 38 years despite the population doubling.

“Right now, we have a shortage of dry-floor space,” he said yesterday.“We have one of the largest lacrosse organizations in western Canada and ball hockey is one of the fastest-growing sports in Canada. And the two [sports] overlap one another.”

The facility would be open year-round and could house other events such as the winter farmers’ market and trade shows. As well, Hodge said it would be a venue if Coquitlam wins its bid to host the 2016 BC Seniors’ Games during the city’s 125th anniversary.

Hodge said feedback from participants at the June 18 workshop — on topics such as size, structure and amenities — will be included in a future report to city council prior to the summer break.

Those invited to the workshop include representatives from the Sports Centre Users’ Association and the Coquitlam Field Sport Association.

Hodge is also lobbying for a bigger multi-use sports court to be built at a later date. jwarren@tricitynews.com

9 kids, 4 wheels, 240 km – and 1 cause

By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

W

ith seven active kids ranging in age from three to 10 between the two of them,Tara Carruthers and April Ireland are what you’d easily call “busy”full-time moms.

Now they’re adding a 240 km bike ride to Seattle to the mix, squeezing in training rides to Abbotsford and back among the daily shuttles to school and the seemingly endless hockey practices, games and tournaments as they gear up for the 2013 Ride to Conquer Cancer.

And while the Port Moody neighbours have been close friends for more than a decade, Ireland isn’t holding a grudge against Carruthers, whose idea it was to join the epic bike ride.

“I don’t think I clued in until recently”about how tough the training would be, said Ireland, whose kids are nine, seven and five years old.“When we first started riding, we did a 15 km ride and the next day neither of us could walk and our husbands were just laughing at us.”

Carruthers, whose kids are 10, seven, five and three years old, heard about the ride from a

sarah payne/the tri-city news

Friends Tara Carruthers and April Ireland are riding the 240 km 2013 Ride to Conquer Cancer next weekend. friend and said it struck a chord with her.

“There’s so much cancer in my family, so that was the big thing,”she said. One of her aunts passed away from breast cancer 10 years ago, another aunt survived the same. A great aunt

originally diagnosed with breast cancer learned it has spread to her brain.

Her grandfather recovered from prostate cancer but now has throat cancer.

And Carruthers’ brother thought he had beat skin cancer but recently discovered it has

returned.

“I don’t have a lot of cancer in my family,” Ireland said, apart from two grandparents who passed away before she even met them.“For me, it’s a good cause.”

And a good reason to get on their bikes,

although they soon discovered the old, too-small bikes they’d been using for trail rides with the kids weren’t going to cut it for the two-day ride.

They did get new ones — though as moms first, they are trail bikes that will still work for fam-

ily outings, not the sleek road bikes used by many of the ride participants — and have quickly worked up from the initial 15 km trek to topping 120 km.

Gone are the days of driving to the PoCo Traboulay Trail, unloading bikes for a ride and then driving home again.

Now, they’re riding to the trail, completing it and riding home again — and yes, that means up the Clarke Road hill — in less time than those first rides.

Event organizers have provided a training guide but it has been up to Ireland and Carruthers to map local routes that will keep them on pace. (Getting lost on a long-distance ride to Abbotsford landed them in Langley, adding an extra 20 km to one training day.)

Their husbands pitch in by switching off childcare duties, often for six or seven kids at a time, and by preparing gourmet feasts for the women to come home to after a long ride.The kids get in on the act, too, by joining their moms for rides to the grocery store.

But are the friends ready for two days of sixhour, 120 km rides?

“I’m a little nervous but it’s more mentally,” Ireland said.“I know physically we’re ready.”

And they’re close to reaching their fundraising goal as well. Each participant has to raise $2,500 to be able to participate and Carruthers and Ireland are each about $100 short of that, though they would like to beat the minimum by raising $3,000 each.

It has been a long slog, selling 1,500 chocolate bars door-to-door (sometimes for their ride and their kids’ hockey teams at the same time) and through bottle drives.

“My van still smells from the last one,”Ireland joked.

The training that started out small, often on sidewalks for fear of traffic, and in the cold and rain has turned into often sunny, long-distance rides worthy of racers in training.

And when Carruthers and Ireland reach the finish line just outside Seattle on June 16, their husbands and gaggle of kids will be waiting to cheer on the super-moms.

Third annual Tour de PoCo marks city’s first 100 years

Let two wheels take you on a ride through history this weekend in Port Coquitlam.

For the third year in a row, volunteers from PoCo Heritage will be leading a fun and informative bike tour — the Tour de PoCo — through the trails and parks of the city and surrounding area.

According to ride organizer Steve Smith, this year’s Tour de PoCo will be bigger and better, thanks to support from the Port Coquitlam Centennial Spirit Committee as well as continued support from key sponsors Caps Westwood Cycle and Norco Bicycles in the form of some giveaways.

“This year, we are making the ride a little longer with a few extra twists and turns,” Smith said.“We will have fewer stops but the stops we do have will be focussed around three of the themes that were critical to Port Coquitlam’s founding and growth: farming, working rivers and the CP Railway. I hope that in this centennial year we can truly celebrate what we love about living in this area by getting out and enjoying it together.”

Despite the name, Tour de PoCo is not a race. The tour proceeds at a comfortable pace that most cyclists can keep up with.

It all starts Sunday, June 9 at 11 a.m. at Lions Park.

Organizers ask that you arrive a few minutes early to register. It’s a free event (donations to PoCo Heritage will be accepted) and open to all who want to join but riders should have a trail-capable bike in good working order as well as required safety gear (approved helmet and bell). The ride is approximately 26 km in length and will take about three and a half hours.

Maps and snacks will be provided.

Potatoes, radishes (and strawbs) MARKET FRESH Karen Curtis A busy month brings good food

J

une is such a crazy month. Right in the middle of the calendar year, it’s also the beginning of summer (we hope) and the end of the school year (hooray!); Father’s Day is in there and, best of all, a brand new market is opening.

June 7 — that’s today — is opening day for the new Port Moody market, which will run Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m.

In the garden calendar, spring crops are winding down but the summer crops are not quite there yet. Have no fear, however, as there is still plenty for your taste buds to explore and savour.

While everyone else is thinking strawberries, I am thinking new nugget potatoes — I cannot get enough of them. For every pound of nuggets I

eat, I also eat a half pound of butter I’m sure.

My mom taught me to cut a piece of potato, take a smidge of butter and put the two together on the fork before popping it in your mouth.The fact that the potatoes only arrive once a year for a short while is my caloric saving grace.

I am especially excited this year as we are welcoming Golden Ears Cheesecrafters to the Coquitlam Farmers Market and they are bringing their sweet cream, freshly churned butter with them.

So what else is new in early June? How about radishes? Really, radishes?You bet. Market vendors have different types for different tastes.

If you are not a fan of radishes because they are too sharp, try the French Breakfast ones from Red Barn — they are quite a bit milder than supermarket radishes.Try roasting them to take away some of the bite.Toss them with olive oil and roast at 350 F for 10 minutes or so, then add some fresh thyme

IN QUOTES

“If you are not a fan of radishes because they are too sharp, try French Breakfast ones from Red Barn.”

Karen Curtis and a little sea salt.

And speaking of radishes and Red Barn, you should stop and chat with Ken. He has a large selection of fresh herbs and bedding plants for planting and eating. If you want to grow your own, he can help. Why not try planting a salsa garden?

Tomatoes, peppers and cilantro are all easy to grow and you can have fresh salsa at the drop of a hat.

Most of the ingredients for a Greek salad are at market, too. Floralia Farms from Abbotsford has been an anchor at the Coquitlam market for years. Mixed in with the beautiful hanging baskets are the early varieties of hothouse peppers and cucumbers.

Combine them with Red Barn’s fresh herbs and Little Qualicum’s feta cheese and you are

almost good to go. Make it a full meal with a loaf of garlic cheese bread from A Bread Affair, some barbecued chicken from Rockwell (plus lemonade from yours truly) and, yes, fresh bright red strawberries, and you won’t have to set foot in a regular store. And best of all, you will have spoken directly with the people who produce your food.

If a Greek salad doesn’t thrill you, then try the recipe below.

Your local markets are Thursday in Port Coquitlam, Friday in Port Moody and Sunday in Coquitlam.

Karen Curtis is the Lemonade Lady (www. kicslemonade.ca and kicslemonade.blogspot.ca) at the Coquitlam Farmers Market. Her column runs once a month during market season.

The power of pasta PASTA WITH SEASONAL VEGGIES & SAUSAGE

4 cups penne (or other tubular pasta) 4 cups chopped seasonal vegetables (asparagus, garlic snapes, peppers, spinach) ¼ c extra virgin olive oil 1 clove minced garlic ½ tsp fleur de sel with herbs d’Provence freshly ground pepper 2 tbsp KICS Lemonade Syrup or lemon juice 1 tsp anchovy paste (do not leave this out — it is the magic ingredient) 4-5 Redl’s beef mild Italian sausages, casings removed Grated Golden Ears Chipotle Havarti, for serving

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook pasta according to package directions. In the last 2-3 minutes, add the vegetables and cook until bright green and crisp. (Note: if using spinach, do not add until you are combining all the ingredients.) Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, drain pasta and vegetables.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together oil, KICS, anchovy paste, garlic, fleur de sel and freshly ground pepper. Set aside.

While pasta is cooking, brown sausage in frying pan, breaking up, until cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Return pasta and vegetables to big pot, add sausage and oil mixture. Toss well to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to form a thin sauce that coats the pasta.

Serve sprinkled with grated havarti.

Protect yourself

Do you want to learn how to prevent identity theft, scams and telemarketing?

SUN SAFETY

• When possible, schedule outdoor activities in the morning or late afternoon/early evening.

• Stay in the shade and out of the hot sun between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Look for places with lots of shade, such as a park with big trees. Take an umbrella or tent to the beach.

• Cover up. If you are out in the sun during mid-day hours, wear long sleeves, loose-fitting long pants and a hat with a wide brim (baseball caps do not provide enough protection).

• Wear sunglasses that provide UVA and UVB protection. They will provide protection against eye damage.

Independent & Assisted Living E

• Use a sunscreen lotion or cream that is Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 15 or more; if you work outdoors or are planning to be outside most of the day, use one with SPF 30 or more.

• Put sunscreen on your skin 20 minutes before you go out and reapply 20 minutes after being out in the sun to ensure even application and better protection.

• Use sunscreen even on hazy or overcast days.

• Do not apply sunscreen to babies under 6 months old; babies should be kept outSURREY’S of the direct sun as much as possible.

• Never use baby oil to protect children from the AFFORDABLE sun — it will not protect SENIOR’S them. COMMUNITY • Sunscreen can’t block all the sun’s rays. Use it along with shade, clothing and hats, not instead of them.

• Don’t forget your lips, ears and nose and the tops of your feet. These parts of your body burn easily.

• Re-apply sunscreen after you go swimming or if you are sweating.

• Check your skin regularly You can never be completely protected from the sun. Over time, exposure to UV rays may cause skin cancer. Get to know your own skin and if you have any of the following symptoms, tell your doctor: A M on EN IDA • Any change your skin, especially in the size or colour of a mole, growth, or spot, or a new growth (even if it has no colour) • Scaliness, oozing, bleeding, or change in the appearance of a bump or nodule • The spread of pigmentation (colour) beyond its border, such as dark colouring that spreads past the edge of a mole or mark • A change in sensation, such as itchiness, tenderness or pain.

SURREY’S MOST AFFORDABLE SENIORS’ COMMUNITY

The Lower Mainland may not be the sunniest place on earth but the sun’s rays can still cause harm, especially during the summer months, when the days are longer and people spend more time outdoors.

According to a press release from Fraser Health, sunlight is good for us in small doses; it helps the body make vitamin D3, is a good mood booster and can also be used to treat certain skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.

But overexposure to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation in sunlight can also cause serious harm.

“Most people think that as long as they aren’t getting a sun burn, they aren’t damaging their skin,”said Dr. Paul Van Buynder, chief medical health officer with Fraser Health.

“But even if your skin is tanning and not burning, daily exposure to sunlight adds up and over time can cause skin damage and even skin cancer.”

Even on a cool summer day, the UV level can be intense.You can also get a sun burn on cloudy days as UV radiation can penetrate some clouds and may even be more intense due to reflection from the bottom of the clouds.

Skin cancer may be the most serious consequence of too much sun, but it’s no the only harmful effect.

Too much sun can cause premature wrinkling, spotting and ageing of the skin, eye diseases, and can also weaken the body’s ability to fight off infections, illness and disease.

Children are the most vulnerable, as sun exposure during childhood and adolescence appears to increase the risk for health consequences later in life, so it’s important to protect them. Fraser Health suggests the following steps to protect yourself and your children:

Day Camp Tips for Parents

chool is barely out before it’s time to start the kids at day camp. All summer long, they will be able to do a variety of activities, go on group outings, and make lots of new friends.

Here are a few tips to help your children enjoy this enriching experience, which they are sure to remember for the rest of their lives.

First of all, it’s possible that your children will feel a little nervous about going to camp, especially if its their first time. Reassure them by describing all the activities that will be organized throughout the summer, emphasizing the ones you know they’ll prefer. Remind them that this is a perfect opportunity to experience wonderful adventures with other children of the same age.

Last but not least, go over basic safety rules with your children, and be sure to tell them to have a good time! After all, day camp is a perfect place to create unforgettable memories.

On the first day of camp, start them off on the right foot by giving them a good breakfast. They can take their own lunches and snacks or they can buy food if a cafeteria is available. Be careful of allergies – some camps, just like schools, ban peanuts.

CAMPS Every evening before bedtime, invite your children to participate in the preparation of their backpacks and share stories from that day. Make sure they pack sunscreen, a hat or baseball cap and a good pair of shoes. As most camps have swimming in their programs, ensure they also include a swimsuit, towel and a change of clothing. Some pools require swim caps to be worn. You might also be required

Summer Camps 2013 CAMP QWANOES ADDS NEW Sasamat “SKY STATION” FOR SUMMER 2013 Outdoor Centre

“A

t Qwanoes there’s always new adventures every year – no summer is ever the same,” says Scott Bayley, Executive Director.

At Qwanoes kids can be kids, kids are valued and accepted, and fun is a big part of each day.”

www.sasamat.org

Since 1966 kids have been experiencing these kind of adventures and a whole lot more at Qwanoes, nestled beside Maple Mountain on a quiet bay in Crofton about one hour north of Victoria.

“This year we’re adding a premier new attraction to our already-huge Challenge Course – and we’re calling it the ‘Sky Station.’ It towers amongst the trees in the heart of our camp – providing 16 connected challenges up in the sky.”

Counselor in Training - Ages 16-17 discover your leadership style, learn practical skills, build self-confidence

Campers get oriented at the ‘Launch Pad,’ then climb the ‘Shuttle’ to level one or level two of the Sky Station.

“Whether it’s paddle surfing, mounting boarding, kayaking or skateboarding...there’s something for everyone and it all happens in a spectacular ocean-front west-coast setting.”

“What’s really cool about this is that it actually serves as a kind of ‘friend-station’,” says Bayley.

“Campers do this together in pairs – it’s a great way to make new friends. You make some pretty tight bonds when you’re working together to cross a rickety bridge forty feet in the air!”

I-CITY Qwanoes is a Christian camp, and an ideal place TR for fun-filled, life-changing adventure. All are Healthy, Outdoor welcome and there still is some space available for this summer.

Summer Camps 2013

For kids who are curious about dance, singing, or acting, the summer is a great time to take short programs before committing to a full year program.

Performing arts training can be enjoyed in the summer without the demands of academics. “I think that’s why we instructors enjoy teaching summer programs the most,� says Caulfield School of Dance Director, Cori Caulfield, “the older kids kids aren’t tired out from a full day at school and many of the little ones are discovering it for the first time.�

hour per week course to match the in-class time of a single week Intensive,�

Caulfield says, “the advances in the kids have been amazing. We have even advanced a student who had done both weeks in the summer by a full level for the next fall.�

Caulfield School of Dance offers Ballet Technique Maintenance & Pointe Classes on a Drop-in basis all through the summer to make it as easy and convenient for students to keep up their skills over the whole break. These classes are also good for students who

want to start ballet in the upcoming September to June year, to get a jump on what’s to come. “Summer programs in the performing arts are a fun way to make new friends and try something new or continue improving in your main discipline (or disciplines!). Warmer weather definitely makes for easier gains in flexibility too!� says Caulfield. “We always notice a huge difference in the students who train in the summer.�

For more information visit www.caulfield.bc.ca or call 604-469-9366

Caulfield School of Dance is offering “Broadway Boot Campsâ€? which are 1 hour per day over 3 days, to learn a scene, including a song and choreography, from a Broadway Musical: “Annieâ€? for the 4 to 6 year olds, Disney’s “Aladdinâ€? for the 7 to 10 year olds, and “Mamma Mia!â€? for the 11 year olds and Teens. “We’re • Wet Feet (Ages 4-7)...$140 for one week (half day) really excited about these • Junior Sailing (Ages 7-9)...$230 for one week camps,â€? says Caulfield, “The Girls Power Sailing (Ages 7-10)...$230 for one week • instructor, Jordana Jackson • Summer Fun (Ages 10-16)...$380 for two weeks has performed in professional musical theatre all over the • CAN Sail 3 (Pre-req.

Summer Sailing Camps

If students can try several different types of performing arts in one program, it can help families decide which programs will be best for the upcoming September to June year.

Caulfield School of Dance, offers one hour per day Sampler Weeks for complete beginners, to those with up to three years of experience, as a fun way for students to experience Ballet, Creative Dance, Tap, Jazz, Modern/ Contemporary Dance, Hip Hop, and Musical Theatre (Singing, Dancing, Acting) in one week.

For more experienced students, Caulfield School of Dance also offers 9 AM to 3 PM weeklong Intensives in August. Each Intensive includes Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern/Contemporary, Hip Hop, Singing, Acting, Choreography, and Improvisation. The participants all have prior training in one or more of these disciplines but most also get to explore something new. Because different families have different scheduling needs in the summer, we also accommodate 10 AM starts upon request.

For those already studying the performing arts, the summer break is too long for the hard earned technical gains of September to June to be maintained. Performing arts students cannot progress properly if they take the whole summer break off. Taking summer programs helps maintain and even improve technique before the new year of programs begins.

The all day immersion in training of the Intensives is great for not just maintaining but improving skills. “It takes almost a year of taking a one

Willoughby Town Centre offers something for everyone

‘We want it to be a gathering place’ At the end of a long day and a long commute, there’s nothing better than leaving your car in its parking spot and knowing you’re home. But Qualico, in partnership with Chow & Li, is doing one better with Willougby Town Centre. With services and multi-family living all in one place, it’s perfect for those who want convenience and a socially active community.

“The whole idea is to be pedestrianfriendly,” says Diane Zarola, sales and marketing manager for Qualico. “We want it to be a gathering place.”

Thus far, confirmed tenants include Shoppers Drug Mart, RBC, G&F Financial, Noma Sushi Restaurant,

Rendevous Liquor Store and Loblaw’s: Your Independent Grocer.

Other possible tenants include a yoga studio, coffee shop and clothing boutiques.

Willoughby Town Centre’s first residential space will be Kensington, a three-storey condominium development right in the thick of the action.

“You can look out your window and see your friends having coffee. There’s nothing like it in Langley,” Zarola says.

“It’s going to become a destination.

We’re very, very excited about it.”

Lake Whatcom recreation

Nature at its best at Wildwood Lakefront Cottages

By Kerry Vital

Washington’s Lake Whatcom is a largely undiscovered gem for Canadians, with a myriad of outdoor activities, a peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity for a ton of family bonding. Now you can purchase your own family getaway at Wildwood Lakefront Cottages right on the shores at South Bay. “It feels like you’re in the middle of a cedar forest,” says sales director Wayne Lyle.

The natural setting is one of the highlights of Wildwood, with its two streams, huge trees and pristine lake and shoreline. Lake Whatcom holds the drinking water for the city of Bellingham, so there are numerous restrictions in place in order to ensure it stays pristine.

The lake is over 12 miles long, with Wildwood and its 11 acres located at the quiet south end. Just 45 minutes from the Canada-U.S. border, Canadians have been flocking there to purchase their little piece of paradise.

“It’s a real family experience,” Lyle says. “They’re buying for the legacy, for the memories. Our buyers are strictly families and have either kids or grandkids.”

The developers of the site are a group of Canadian families who now own cottages on the lake themselves.

“It gives it a personal feel,” Lyle says, adding that the vast majority of the buyers so far are Canadian. One of the big draws for Canadians is that the property is gated and private, has a resident on-site manager and your landscaping is all looked after.

Wildwood started life in the 1950s as a campground, and that natural flavour still survives today as an outdoor experience with all the comforts of home.

“The historical factor is quite cool,” Lyle says. “I’ve met many people who learned to water-ski here 40 years ago.”

Whether you want to go fishing, take out the canoe or go for a swim, you’ll find a ton of outdoor activities available on-site. The private marina holds 34 private boat slips, 15 mooring buoys and a number of guest slips.

You’ll also find a clubhouse, pool and hot tub, tennis court, recreation centre, playground, community herb garden and a winding walking trail.

The cottages themselves are made for cozy family times, with five different floorplans to choose from and three

“

It feels like you’re in the middle of a cedar forest,” says sales director Wayne Lyle.

from the other cottages, you can purchase a lot at Wildwood and have your own cottage built instead of choosing from one of the floorplans.

Wildwood’s proximity to Seattle makes it a convenient spot to stop if you’re planning to fly out of the Seattle airport as well. You can also pay a visit to Mount Baker for skiing, just an hour and a half away.

“This a great base camp for families,”

Lyle says. “You take a deep breath when you look out at the water. And with the price of real estate in B.C., this lakefront property is a bargain!”

Lots at Wildwood start at $174,900, and fully finished cottages plus lots start at $324,900. For more information, visit www.wildwoodlakefrontcottages.com or call 1-855-588-7788. The site is open Wednesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or by appointment any time except Sundays.

natural colour schemes. The main floor features the living areas, sunny window seats, decked-out kitchens and one bedroom or one-bedroom plus den configurations with a sleeping loft above.

“Kids love the sleeping lofts; the ceilings are five feet in height,” Lyle says. “They think it’s built just for them!”

The features of the cottages are also a hit for buyers.

“These are upscale cozy cottages,” Lyle says. “They have hardwood flooring, quartz countertops, stainlesssteel appliances and stone fireplaces.”

Some of the cottages have rooftop decks that are perfect for star-gazing.

Each home includes a covered deck to give you that indoor-outdoor life that everyone loves in the summer, many with an outdoor fireplace.

You’ll also find an outdoor wood burning fire pit with every cottage (perfect for making s’mores), and a gas fireplace inside with a natural stone facing to contribute to the feeling of being part of the outdoors.

New popularity for lilies iN THe GARDeN Brian Minter

I

n the heat of summer (should we be so lucky), we normally would be looking to add a little extra punch to our gardens and there is one family of plants that has so much to offer but really doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

Canna lilies have been around for a long time but with interesting new foliage colours and blossoms, they’re experiencing a huge resurgence. Canna leaves that resemble those of bananas and flowers that look like ginger lilies add a refreshing tropical touch to any container or garden bed. The problem is we don’t use enough of them.

I love cannas for their incredibly easy care.

They not only thrive in the heat of summer but also, like dahlias, will carry your garden well into November. From a single tuberous root, they will develop into huge clumps, making a magnificent display. They also come in low (18 inches or 45 cm), medium (3 feet or 90 cm) and tall (6 feet or 180 cm) sizes. Cannas can be used as foreground plantings or as giant background specimens.

Cannas add drama. Their striking leaf colours and variegations create an opportunity for some fabulous combinations. There are dozens and dozens of canna varieties but there are a few I’m really excited about. Black is still where it’s at and there are a number of dark foliaged varieties. The master of black, however, is ‘Australia’. This rather slender and elegant grower has almost black leaves with brilliant orange-red flowers. It’s definitely a ‘wow’ plant in my book.

Perhaps the most stunning of all cannas are the yellow and green varieties which, by the way, are all very similar. Striped ‘Bengal Tiger’, with its rich orange flowers, was one of the very first of the intense yellow and green striped varieties. ‘Pretoria’ looks almost identical with melon orange blooms and leaves similar to ‘Bengal Tiger’ but with a tiny red margin

on the outside of its leaves.

One of the most popular of all the striped varieties is ‘Tropicana’. It has intense green orange and red striped foliage that changes intensity with the temperature and maturity of the leaves. Its orange flowers are a true compliment to its leaf colour. It’s just a great plant.

Sometimes we simply get caught up in the foliage colours of cannas and overlook their exquisite blossoms. Some, in particular, are breathtaking. ‘Cleopatra’, with its most unusual red and yellow patterns, is one of the most sought after flowering forms. Today there are a whole series of designer colours such as peach, apricot and pink shaded varieties that blend in with our current colour schemes.

Remember: cannas are well suited to both container and garden bed planting. They add both depth and vibrancy to any garden but most of all, they can instantly add a magical touch of the tropics.

From Port Coquitlam to College world series

Carney’s Stars shine in finals Banner hoisted after defeating powerhouse Burnsview club

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The Archbishop Carney Stars limped into the playoffs during last weekend’s B.C. AA High School Soccer Championships but they were able to post wins when it counted.

The Port Coquitlam club notched just one win and two ties during round-robin play, defeating defending champions the Seycove Seahawks of North Vancouver 5-1, before drawing 1-1 against the

Sahali secondary Sabres of Kamloops and 2-2 against Isfeld secondary of Courtenay.

But a 1-0 win against the Nanaimo secondary Islanders meant a trip to the finals and a showdown against the Burnsview Griffins, a club that went 3-0 in pool play and won the tournament in 2010 and 2011.

Carney did not let their underdog status deter them in championship game.

The team jumped out to a lead and managed to keep the bruising Burnsview players hemmed in their own end for much of the game. see SCOwBY, page 45

Calvano joins BCHL Rivermen Former express bench boss finds job with Langley coaching staff

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Mike Janes PhotograPhy

Port Coquitlam baseball product Jordan Varga’s South Dakota State University Jackrabbits were defeated in the NCAA College World Series on the weekend. The club pushed powerhouse San Francisco into extra innings, eventually losing 4-3 in the 13th. On their way to the elimination game, South Dakota, currently ranked 150th in the league, took on top-tier teams like the 8th ranked Oregon Ducks.

Tri-Cities’

The Premier Club

For further information on the Club:

Former Coquitlam Express coach Jon Calvano, who was fired after his club missed the post-season this spring, has found a new role with the Langley Rivermen.

Calvano has signed on to be the B.C. Hockey League team’s associate coach and assistant general manager, after the club went 24-26 in the regular season.

“It’s the start of a new

chapter in my life and I am really excited to join the Rivermen organization,” he said. “The team is coming off a good year making the playoffs for the first time and I hope to come in and help the franchise in any way I can.”

The Rivermen were dumped in the first round of the playoffs after losing to the Surrey Eagle in four games of the bestof-five series. The Eagles went on to win the league championship after defeating the Penticton Vees in the finals.

Meanwhile, the Coquitlam Express have made a few lineup additions of their own. see ExPRESS, page 45

Express add some scoring to lineup continued from page 44

Last week, the club announced that Nicolas Beaudin, Stanstead College’s alternate captain, has committed to play for the Express next season.

T h e 1 8 - y e a r- o l d player, who spent two years at the college where he finished the 2012-13 seasons with 31 goals and 33 assists in 61 games, said he was thrilled to join the Coquitlam club.

Beaudin was the re-

cipient of the Dawes Trophy at Stanstead’s MVP and is presently ranked 167th on BeauDin the NHL Scouting Bureau’s Final Prospect list for the upcoming June draft.

“We are very excited to add a player like Nicolas Beaudin to our lineup,” said Express head coach Barry Wolff.

“Nicolas is a great player that has strong

character and work ethic… We know that he will be ready to compete at the BCHL level.”

Stanstead head coach James Rioux said Beaudin has a high hockey IQ and is an excellent two-way player. He has also been a consistent scorer for the college club and will add some much-needed offense to the Express lineup.

Scowby named MVP continued from page 44

When the clock ran down, the Stars held a 2-1 lead to win the tournament’s championship banner.

Carney’s Pam Scowby was named tournament MVP. In the bronze medal game, Nanaimo defeated the L.V. Rogers Bombers of Nelson 4-0.

Shelby Jeeves of Mark Isfeld secondary earned the Golden

Boot Award for most goals scored. She tallied seven goals in the tournament and shared the honour with Emma Entzminger of Lambrick Park secondary.

The hosting Mark Isfeld secondary Ice placed sixth after losing to the Lambrick Park Lions of Victoria in the game for fifth place.

Ballenas Whalers (Parksville) took seventh with a penalty kick

win over Little Flower A c a d e m y. S u r r e y Christian Bulldogs blanked Abbotsford Traditional Titans 4-0 to place ninth and Notre Dame defeated Sa-Hali in a shootout to finish 11th.

Seycove was 13th, Princess Margaret Lions (Surrey) were 14th, Kalamalka Lakers (Vernon) finished 15th and Caledonia placed 16th.
