Job action could end SD43 school year early Last day of classes likely yesterday By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Parents are being advised to make alternate arrangements for their children Monday and likely for the remainder of the school year unless the BC Teachers’ Federation and government negotiators can come to an agreement
over the weekend. At issue are wages and class size and composition and, though both sides plan to bargain 24/7 over the coming days, they were still far apart as of The News’ Thursday deadline, although the teachers’ union did submit an as yet undisclosed revised proposal. For students in School District 43, the last day of the school year was likely yesterday, when
classes were last in session (schools were closed today, Friday), and parents are encouraged to follow news reports and read emails from their principals in the coming days to get the latest information about their students’ education. On Monday, teachers will be holding study sessions off school property, which means teachers won’t have picket lines at
s c h o o l s . H o w e v e r, classes won’t be in session although schools will be open. Meanwhile, parents remain concerned and vigilant about the escalating strike, but see the problem as systemic and difficult to resolve, said Chuck Dennison, the president of the School District 43 District Pa r e n t s ’ A d v i s o r y Council. see SD43, page 9

Outpouring of support for police after tragic shooting in N.B. By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam’s top Mountie is thanking the community for its outpouring of support in the wake of the shooting deaths of three RCMP officers
in Moncton last week. Supt. Claude Wilcott stated in a letter that the events in New Brunswick, which left three officers dead and two others wounded in the line of duty, had been “terribly difficult” for all members of the RCMP. He thanked to the community for its support. see SUPT., page 7

Metro VIPs take first look at new UV facility By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
A $100-million drinking water filtration plant that has already been working for six months in the Coquitlam watershed was opened for restricted viewing this week. On Wednesday, Metro Vancouver engineers, health officials, mayors and the media were led on an exclusive tour of the new ultraviolet disinfection facility that promises to eradicate the bug cryptosporidium. Metro officials told The Tri-City News they had already been working on designing the UV plant when the federal government ordered tighter controls on drinking water across the country following the Walkerton, Ont., tragedy that killed several people in 2000. Th a t s a m e ye a r, Metro installed an ozonation process for the Coquitlam water to get rid of giardia; “however, that was not effective enough against cryptosporidium,” said Darrell Mussatto, chairperson of Metro Vancouver’s utility board and mayor of

Darrell Mussatto, chair of Metro Vancouver’s utility board and mayor of North Vancouver city, speaks before the tour begins. North Vancouver city. Fo r ye a r s , t h e Coquitlam water had been treated only with chlorine and soda ash (sodium carbonate) for corrosion control and that will continue, Mussatto said, noting the UV filtration changes the DNA of the water-born parasites and makes the water safe to consume. The multiple treatments of the tap water — supplied to one-third of Metro’s 2.3 million residents — make it the “best in the world,” touted Coquitlam Mayor
Richard Stewart before the tour began. Inside, Metro engineers showed how water from the Coquitlam reservoir — located in a secured area at the top of Pipeline Road — is pumped into eight reactor units, each containing 40 UV lamps, that will bring 97% clarity to the water. The building itself is designed to meet silver LEED standards, with natural light, a green roof and EcoSmart concrete. And extensive habitat restoration has been done outside in the watershed. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, who is also Metro Vancouver board chair, said Metro provides one billion litres of potable water a day to half of the province’s population, with 200 million litres alone from the Coquitlam source daily. This year, the water rate Metro charges member municipalities is 63 cents for every 1,000 litres of water. Metro controls three watersheds: Coquitlam, Capilano and Seymour, all of which have drinking water treatment facilities.

PoMo launches effort to boost voter turnout By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Is it possible to turn people on to municipal elections? Port Moody certainly hopes so. The city has posted gains in voter turnout in the last three civic elections — a rarity among government institutions — but councillors want to do even more to boost poll numbers with an awareness campaign and by making it easier for voters to get details on who’s running. Voter apathy at the municipal level is high and turnout is typically less than 30% for municipal elections. However, PoMo is working on an engagement plan that would make it easier for can-

Port Moody council is looking at restricting election signage, like this advertising from Port Coquitlam during the 2011 vote, from 18 locations down to 10 in the city. didates to get their profiles online on the city’s website and in taxpayers’ hands. On Tuesday, councillors also approved plans to erect get out and vote signs promoting the Nov. 15 election and intend to mail out a detailed Election Awareness card to voters.
The program doesn’t come without a cost, however. A report to Tuesday’s council meeting noted that staff time, materials and signage will cost the city about $10,000, with candidates shelling out an additional $600 apiece for a bulk mail out. But that invest-
ment may be worth it if more people are engaged and fewer sit out on election day, said mayor Mike Clay. “Part of the program was to raise community awareness that we are having an election and to put candidates on an equal footing,”he said. Perhaps even more could be done, the mayor speculated, to attract younger voters, who typically stay away from municipal polls. Turns out he’s not alone in his concern. Researcher Norman Gludovatz said municipal elections are more work for voters than federal and provincial elections, especially for young people, and the payoff for the effort isn’t immediately obvious.
He would like to see councillors and school board trustees engage youth and consider early voter registration for graduating students. Clay agrees that high school students should be targeted and a plan to do so was one of the recommendations from a 2012 task force. But it never happened likely, Clay said, because of a turnover in staff and other work that took priority. Still, Clay thinks more should be done, although the window of opportunity is passing with students closest to the voting age graduating this month. Councillors are still interested in the idea of increasing voter engagement and Clay said the issue is likely to come up again in the future.
Candidate Pr or citizen engagement? It’s not easy for candidates to get their message out to voters and Port Moody wants to make it easier. The city plans to give candidates in the Nov. 15 civic election an opportunity to post their profiles on the city’s website and will encourage them to mail their brochures in a single envelope to voters. But for some councillors, it’s not the city’s job to do “public relations” for candidates, and they worry that the city is setting a precedent. “The city is not in the business of promoting candidates and when we do, we could be going down a slippery slope,”said Coun. Gerry Nuttall. Councillors are also concerned about sign wars after the city approved a bylaw Tuesday to reduce the number of locations candidates can place signs from 18 to 10. Coun. Rick Glumac even proposed a lottery to assign locations, but it wasn’t supported. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

YMCA could have facility in Burquitlam as early as 2017 Proposal includes 60,000 sq. ft. centre with two pools and fitness area

HOUSE!
By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
Burquitlam will be getting a new YMCA community centre, The TriCity News has learned. Yesterday, the social services agency revealed it had narrowed its sights to the area of Como Lake Avenue and Clarke Road, close to where the Evergreen Line station will be built. John Woolgar, the Y M CA o f G r e a t e r Vancouver’s general manager of facility development who is responsible for facilitating YMCAs in new communities such as Coquitlam, told The News on Thursday that the organization expects to have a site confirmed by next year. Its proposal is for a 60,000 sq. ft. full-service centre with two pools — including a warm water tank for lessons — change rooms, a fitness section, cafe and meeting spaces for its public programs. And “if everything
up to $25 million over the build-out. Wo o l g a r said Burquitlam was chosen because of the future area growth; North Road and Austin Avenue was also considered but didn’t fare as well in market research, he said. In 2012, the city offered $20,000 to the “Y” for a market study to look at best sites in Coquitlam for a new hub, with Burke Mountain and Maillardville also on the table. Currently, the YMCA runs a childcare resource and referral program on Austin Avenue. The YMCA has 170 program sites in the Lower Mainland, costing $35 million a year. Recently, it developed a strategic plan to expand its programs over the next decade. In 2011, the YWCA of Metro Vancouver and the B.C. government opened Como Lake Gardens — a four-storey building at 528 Como Lake Ave. — for single moms and their children; the land for the affordable housing project was donated by the city.

Woolgar said the “Y” would tailor the building and its programs to the community’s needs. “[Residents] will be able to utilize many of the services the YMCA has to offer,” he said, noting an example of what it plans to build can be seen in Surrey at the Tong Louie YMCA. in Though details have yet to be worked out with the city, it is expected they would split the construction costs, upwards of $40 million in total.

The city funding portion would come from Community Amenities Contributions (CAC) from developers who are building new multifamily homes around the Burquitlam and Lougheed Evergreen Line stations.

Mayors seek carbon tax, road pricing for TransLink By Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver mayors have voted to go to referendum on using locally generated carbon taxes and an eventual shift to road pricing so TransLink can expand transit with more buses and new light rail lines in Surrey to Langley and a SkyTrain extension in Vancouver. Their newly unveiled plan seeks a reallocation of $250 million in carbon taxes now paid by Metro residents from the province to TransLink, or else — if Victoria won’t agree to that — a higher carbon tax rate charged within Metro Vancouver. It also calls for tolls to replace the aging Pattullo Bridge, although that toll, along with those on other bridges, could be reduced or replaced with a shift in several years to a system of region-wide road user fees. That eventual road pricing system would take five to eight years to prepare, but mayors aim to reduce gas taxes by six cents per litre when it takes effect. The 10-year plan with $7.5-billion in capital spending would end a grapple by the region’s two biggest cities for new rapid transit dollars. Surrey would get priority for a new $2.1-billion “L Line” connecting Guildford, Surrey Centre

SD43 will have more info for parents, says Grant continued from front page
“More and more I think parents are seeing that education and underfunding and teacher contract issues as part of the same problem,” Chuck Dennison said. As for what parents can expect in the way of marks or finals, SD43 superintendent Tom Grant said information will be sent out as it is confirmed. The district’s website will also be kept up to date and principals are
expected to be in email contact with parents, as necessary.The district’s web presence returned to normal Wednesday after it was shut down by a virus that affected several school districts, Grant confirmed. It is now up and running after IT staff from the province’s PLNet made repairs. Also this week, the Labour Relations Board has declared supervision of grade 10 to 12 provincial exams and marks for grade 12 students as essen-
tial as well as any testing and processing of information regarding special needs services or designation. As of Thursday afternoon, however, it was uncertain as to whether teachers would be required to provide marks or report cards for K-11 students. However, Grant speculated that this work would not be done if schools shut down for the year, however, in most instances, students should know where they stand.

Condo concerns
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
■ WHAT WE THINK:
Y
ears after the leaky condo crisis threatened people’s investments and homes, a new danger appears on the horizon with the potential to devalue properties and cause heartache. As revealed by industry insiders this week, many strata councils are voting to exempt themselves from the requirement of getting a depreciation report that outlines building deficiencies and long-term expenses. According to some estimates, 75% to 80% of condos don’t have depreciation reports. While some strata councils are admittedly concerned about the new rules because of the difficulty and cost of getting expert opinions, others think their building is in such great condition they don’t need one. Unfortunately, despite the hassle, condo owners could be shooting themselves in the foot because smart potential buyers will likely want to see the documentation and will pay higher prices for condos that can show the paper work. Conversely, condos without such a report will look like they’re trying to hide something. It’s extra bureaucracy, but one designed to protect current and prospective homeowners alike.

Officer was able to rise above racism & fear AS I SEE IT Frank Bucholtz
O
ne of the four people honoured by Kwantlen Polytechnic University with an honorary degree at the May convocation ceremonies is a true trailblazer. And like most trailblazers, his actions were highly controversial. Baltej Singh Dhillon is currently head of the RCMP’s Federal and Serious Organized Crime Intelligence Unit. A KPU criminology alumnus, he successfully lobbied to be the first RCMP member permitted to wear a turban. For those who don’t remember that debate, it was protracted, serious, tinged with racism and fear, and ultimately, proven to be unnecessary. Because as Dhillon’s record as a police officer shows, many Canadians of all religious backgrounds have the ability to be fine police officers. His case first came to public attention in 1989. There was a protracted debate in Surrey
(and across the country) about his request to join the RCMP and wear a turban. As editor of the Surrey-North Delta Leader at the time, I recall handling dozens of letters to the editor with very strong opinions on the issue. Some came from the perspective that a turban should be no barrier to joining the RCMP. They pointed out that Sikhs had served with distinction in the Second World War as members of the Indian Army, while wearing turbans. Other stated that the RCMP, as a national police force, needed to be reflective of the varying people it served. Others, who were equally passionate, stated that the RCMP was a national institution with deep roots in Canada’s history. As such, they said it needed to uphold its traditions, even when those in conflict with other Canadian values, such as freedom of religion. Some letter writers were nastier, stating that relatively recent immigrants to Canada from India or other countries had no business joining the RCMP. Some used swear words to express their feelings. Some didn’t sign their

letters — shades of anonymous commenting online today. Undoubtedly, Dhillon heard all that, both in Surrey and after he went to the RCMP training depot in Regina. However, he persevered, and the fact that he has been in the force for almost a quarter-century indicates that he made a successful career choice. By waging a very public and lonely battle, he broke down many barriers. The RCMP has since accepted applicants of many different religious and cultural backgrounds, including First Nations people. It is also important to note that the RCMP has constantly changed. Initially, it was a force devoted simply to policing on the northwest frontier, and in fact was originally known as the Northwest Mounted Police. For many years, new RCMP recruits weren’t allowed to get married until they had served for a certain period. They also weren’t allowed to work in the province they came from. Women did not join the RCMP until the 1970s and that was just as controversial as
the turban issue. Some women have said the RCMP still does not accept them as full members. It is vital that the RCMP reflect a varied and diverse community. Turban-wearing RCMP members gain easy acceptance among the large South Asian population, and often can communicate more easily in a familiar language with many residents. The RCMP has faced a number of serious challenges in recent years, and is not out of the woods in dealing with them. But in the case of Baltej Singh Dhillon, it made the right decision to accept him, and eventually other turbanwearing members. They have been a credit to the force and Dhillon’s actions are worthy of the honour he was given by KPU. Congratulations to him and to all who have followed down the trail that he blazed. He persisted at a time of deep divides and his persistence showed that national institutions are strengthened by being open to change.

Tax dollars well spent? The Editor, To d ay, w h i l e r e turning home from shopping, there was a Translink bus in front of us with a large poster on the back advertising Coquitlam’s new garbage collection. Seems this is not really needed as most
exposure would be for drivers following the bus, while most residents have received brochures and ads in various papers, not to mention flyers with delivery of new containers. Is this expense to Coquitlam another way to add to our property
taxes while avoiding clearly the appearance of another “opportunity revenue source” supporting Translink? Don’t think this is a ‘freebie’ from Translink. Wise spending of our tax dollars! Elwin Mowry Coquitlam

Going the distance for dad By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News
A lazy Father’s Day weekend is not in store for Coquitlam dad Devin Turcotte, who plans to cycle 200 kilometres from Vancouver to Seattle. He will join thousands of other cyclists taking part in the two-day Ride to Conquer Cancer event benefitting the BC Cancer Foundation. For Turcotte, this test of endurance takes on a personal poignancy. July 31 marks the 10-year anniversary of Turcotte’s dad Ray’s passing from prostate cancer. He remembers that summer day clearly. On a whim, Turcotte drove from Coquitlam to the Okanagan where his dad lived, with just enough gas to pull into the driveway. Had he arrived two hours later, Turcotte would have been too late. “It was almost as if he was waiting for me to come home,” recalls Turcotte, who watched his dad battle cancer for the better part of two decades.“They got it into remission, but it came back again. It went downhill from there very fast.” A few years after his dad’s death, Turcotte took up road cycling. Every day the 35-yearold wakes up at the crack of dawn and rides 20 km from his home on Austin Avenue near North Road to the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Vancouver where he works as a guest services agent. “If I’m any bit tired, [cycling] wakes me up in the morning,”he said. The majority of the ride is spent cycling along the shoulder of Lougheed Highway. On an average day, it takes him 45 minutes to ride to work and a little bit longer for the return trip in the afternoon. “It’s pretty good,” he said. “It’s a really good route to downtown [Vancouver].” Turcotte will cycle nine or 10 months of the year, save for the serious inclement weather months between November and January.
After all that practice, the Ride to Conquer Cancer is almost like a walk in the park for Turcotte. Almost. This year is his third time participating in the mass ride to Seattle. “I think I felt pretty good. Afterwards, my legs were a little tired,” he said of the previous events. He added that he is motivated by fellow riders, ranging in age from 16 to 70, who each carry their own story with them. Some have survived cancer, while others are cycling in memory of a loved one who
lost their life to the undiscriminating disease. “Everyone knows someone who has had [cancer]. Everyone is there for the same reason: hopefully to find a cure one day,” Turcotte said. And he won’t be spending Father’s Day alone. Turcotte’s mom, wife and two daughters will be cheering him on during the race, along with other family members. To donate on behalf of Turcotte’s Ride to Conquer Cancer team, or for more information about the event, visit conquercancer.ca.

PoMo residents pushing for cap on home sizes from neighbourhoods throughout Port Moody as deteriorating older buildings are replaced with new larger homes. The issue is also preva-
By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
A group of parents pushing for a Good Neighbour bylaw to regulate house size is encouraged by Port Moody council’s willingness to explore the issue. Sandy Liles, a former councillor who is leading the charge to get the city’s zoning bylaws changed to regulate socalled “monster houses” said she is pleased Moody councillors will discuss the issue at a meeting next month. “I think the message is pretty strong and there is a groundswell out there from people that are waking up to a property that has been beside them for years being demolished and what comes up in its place is a great big huge house,” she said. For Liles and her
lent throughout the Lower Mainland but so far no municipalities in this region control residential building height to preserve view, the report states.
At Tuesday’s council meeting, politicians welcomed a more thorough discussion and Coun. Diana Dilworth said she wanted to see specific
examples of how people would be affected. The topic of building heights, size and siting is expected to take place Tuesday, July 15.

Literacy group’s funding in danger of being chopped By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
An organization providing literacy support for children and families in the Tri-Cities is at risk of losing its funding, The Tri-City News has learned. Brenda LeClair, CEO of Decoda Literacy Solutions, has confirmed that the Tri-Cities Literacy Committee is one of about 102 groups in the province that may not get funding next year because of changing provincial priorities. In the Tri-Cities, the committee provides a variety of literacy programs for refugees, new immigrants, and children and families including this summer’s Stories Galore
and grants for Little Free Libraries. The group has been operating under the jurisdiction of School District 43, which has community literacy among its mandates, but funding comes from the province through grants from Decoda. LeClair said funding for this year to groups, such as the Tri-Cities’ Literacy Committee, was cut from $2.5 million to $2 million for the current year but there was no mention in the most recent budget estimates about any money for the future. “When the budget discussions ended the Minister of Education [Peter Fassbender] said they were continuing to
look for solutions, but didn’t have anything at the moment for community co-ordination.” The funding crunch means the programs run by coordinator Barb Mancell are in jeopardy. Already funding has been cut to $27,000 from $30,000 but Mancell said the group has several projects in the hopper and expects they will continue although some big plans may have to be put on hold for now. A visioning session will be held in the fall to figure out what to do and in the meantime, Mancell said, she’s been visiting local MLAs to let them know about the group and what it does. “This is not what I’m comfortable doing,”
Mancell admitted. “I’d rather be teaching literacy,” but she said it’s necessary to ensure that funding continues. Among the programs in the plans for this year include more work with refugee women, a seniors’ writing course at Glen Pine, family literacy programs and updating a map of community resources. “We are just trying to sustain all the things we are doing, so literacy has a voice at the table,” Mancell. But for now the group has a strong foothold in the community and last Tuesday’s board of education meeting, trustees approved the committee’s work plan. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

curbing. He continued to curb so the VSA obtained an injunction from the BC Supreme Court. That did not deter him so the VSA applied to the BC Supreme Court to find him in contempt of court. If successful the man will face a fine of $10,000 if found curbing again. This form of con clearly can be very profitable, if the perpetrators figure fines and legal expenditures are merely the cost of doing business. However, the following cases illustrates typical curber practices and the penalties they could face. One prolific curber was

the vehicle, creating a false history, finding a suitable “victim,” forging official documents and tax fraud. This occurred on more than one occasion. As the buyers were “complicit” in the fraud, there was no consumer restitution for 12 of the 15 counts. They agreed to false documentation to save on taxes – a common practice used by curbers. This makes consumers fearful to go to authorities when something goes awry. He received a one-year conditional sentence (effectively house arrest, except for medical emergencies or to work, with the terms easing as the year progresses). He also agreed to perform 100 hours of community service. I’m indebted to the Vehicle Sales Authority of BC for providing the research necessary for produce last week’s typical curber profile story and today’s account of real scams. Please, if you don’t want to buy from an established dealership, do your due diligence as to the registration and condition of the vehicle you plan to buy. keith.morgan @drivewaybc.ca

convicted with 31 counts of fraud. He was buying vehicles wholesale from licensed dealers and selling them to the public. He rolled back more than two million kilometres. He was fined $31,000, two vehicles were seized from him, and he was put on probation for three years. A curber from Williams Lake claimed he sold cars as a hobby. After several tickets and warnings from the VSA, Crown Counsel issued court charges against him. After pleading guilty, he was fined $2,000. The legislation allows for a maximum fine of up to $100,000 for individuals and $200,000 for corporations. A Delta man was convicted of fraud – 15 charges with evidence of odometer tampering, inaccurate vehicle histories, sales tax violations and other deliberately deceptive practices. Crown Prosecutor said he targeted the most vulnerable consumers, such as recent immigrants who had poor English. There was deliberate planning to perpetrate each fraud – finding a low priced vehicle, rolling back the odometer, detailing to improve the appearance of
June May is SHOCK MONTH
SHAUGHNESSY
Today, we conclude our look at so-called Curbers: con artists dedicated to separating you from your hard-earned cash by selling you a vehicle that is not all it seems to be. Bringing a curber conman to justice can cost tens of thousands of dollars. While penalties can be high, many successful prosecutions may yield a fine of just a few hundred dollars. One case currently before the courts is five days into a trial over a $288 ticket. The costs to date of further action against the offender are now approaching $80,000. At first sight, one might think it appropriate to save public cash but the problem is allowing a dismissal to occur sets a dangerous precedent that could harm future prosecutions. Because the matter is still before the court, the accused’s name is withheld but the circumstances can be revealed because they are instructive. The Surrey man has undergone continuous legal action by the VSA (in partnership with the City of Surrey). The Provincial Court found him guilty on three charges of

An electrifying smart choice ‘‘
What the electric version has over the regular gasoline model is a much smoother delivery of power.

cluster provides a simple trip computer displaying the vehicle’s electric range and an “eco” meter that helps the driver be more efficient. Drive: Under the cargo shelf in the back is the Lithium-Ion battery pack that has 17.6kWh or roughly, a 135km range when fully charged. This little car can be quick too, thanks to the 96 ft.-lbs. of instant torque from the electric motor. This moves the car along quickly, but the throttle has been calibrated for smooth acceleration, helping the driver gain the best efficiency. I should point out that the high centre of gravity, short wheelbase and slightly choppy ride all combine to make a less than connected car in the corners, so be aware that this car can accelerate quickly but it will not corner quickly. What the electric version has over the regular gasoline model is a much smoother delivery of power. No more anemic gasoline engine and gone is the choppy transmission. The electric motor is smooth and refined. Verdict: Once again, the Smart is a perfect of example of how to get the most out of a small space. The electric cord that connects the car to a 120-volt outlet is packaged into the tailgate of the car; in fact this is the best electric car packaging I’ve seen. Most companies just leave a bag in the trunk, while this system hides it all away. With a starting price of $26,990 for the coupe or $29,990, the Smart Electric is an expensive two-seat car but a bargain the electric world, the least expensive in Canada. The regular gasoline Smart is really an inner-city runabout, which is why the electric version makes so much sense. With up to 138km of range, this Smart Electric will have more than enough range for existing Smart buyers and a great
second car for any city family. The Smart electric is now on my list of cars that I truly enjoy driving, the best Smart of the bunch. zack.spencer @drivewaybc.ca

Which cars on the market today don’t I like? It’s a question I’m often asked and one I struggle to answer. Today’s automobiles are made so well, there are no real turkeys. But, and there is always a “but”, there are certainly cars I like more than others and some I prefer not to drive. The regular Smart ForTwo is one of them. The small dimensions are perfect as a city runabout but the lethargic gasoline engine and very choppy automatic transmission make it more work to drive than I prefer. Well, after driving the latest Smart ForTwo Electric Drive (Smart Electric) my mood has changed to the point that this might be the best little electric car for the city, it’s that good. Looks: The Smart Electric looks like the regular Smart, with a compact little body that provides and amazing amount of interior space and a lot of crash protection on the outside. The exterior of all the Smart Cars have been designed as a singular safety cage, called the Tridion Safety Cell. Other cars have exterior panels that absorb impacts the Smart’s exterior metal bits are the strongest part of the car. In crash tests, these tiny cars fare well. The Smart Electric, just like the gasoline version, is available as a coupe or cabriolet. Spotting a Smart Electric is a bit tricky; this is not like buying a Toyota Prius or Chevy Volt. No, this little dynamo blends right in. It is only a small decal on the side with the emblem of a plug or the subtle badge on that back that gives anything away. Inside: My nine-year-old son Charlie really wanted to go for a ride not because it’s electric but because he had never been in a Smart Car before and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Since there are only two seats, he could place his seat back as far as he liked and had vast amounts of leg room. He also commented on the large cargo shelf behind the two front seats for storage. The cabin is tall and we both had a commanding view down the road. The rest of the cabin is refreshingly simple. There are two bug-like gauges on top of the dash that indicate the batteries state of charge and if the car is drawing power or regenerating power when coasting or braking. The instrument

Drives-U-Crazy I watched a left turning driver hit the horn (just once) to urge the driver ahead to move into the intersection. The woman just shook her head and stayed put but when the light turned red, she took off! – What logic was she using to figure – wrongly – that it was unlawful to enter the intersection yet legal to enter and turn on the red? What drives-u-crazy? Email: keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

The Mustang T5 body shell has been painted, clear coated, wet-sanded, re-cleared and finally polished to a show quality finish. Now comes the fun part of a restoration, the reassembly, opening boxes and fitting all of those new parts. This is as close as you can get to being a car factory assembly line worker except you are doing every task instead of just one, and you have all the time that is needed and not having to work to the speed of a moving production line. One of the upgrades that the T5 will receive is a new product designed to dampen and suppress the drive-line and road noise, making the inner cabin as quiet as possible and a bit like a modern car. The foil covered pads have a peel off backing and are adhered to every inner sheet metal panel such as the roof, floor, doors and bulkhead. The next step is to install the new wiring harness; old wiring harnesses become brittle over time due to heat and corrosion at the joints and terminals, ask the owner of any British Sports Car from that era! The interior has been completely renewed from top to bottom staring with the headliner, trim panels, carpets, dash pads and the seats have all been reupholstered. Before the new back glass and windshield are installed (all of the other glass panels have been replaced) the new vinyl top is installed. Installing a vinyl roof is not a task that is performed very often these days but 360 have the skills to do this in-house. LKQ stocks a huge selection of high quality muscle car
sheet metal and parts. “If you are doing a premium muscle car restoration the only sheet metal you want to use is from LKQ,” asserted Rick Francoeur at 360. The exterior panels will soon have their final fitting. They have been fitted and removed during the restoration process countless times to make sure that the panel gaps are correct. The final fitting process will involve two or three people to make sure that the paint does not get chipped or damaged. Before the original V-8 engine was removed from the car it underwent a compression check, all of the cylinders had equal and strong readings so a complete re-build was not necessary. The carburetor has been replaced with a new two-barrel, the automatic transmission has been completely re-built as has the rear axle. Rick talked Laura out of fitting a modern rack and pinion power steering kit or even upgrading the manual steering box to a power-assisted unit so it will be reliving the Armstrong steering experience for Laura when parking at low speeds! One safety upgrade is the installation of original Ford front disc-brakes; these are a must in today’s traffic. Collector vehicle drivers are very cautious, invariably when accidents occur it is the drivers around you that are not paying attention or cutting you off. 360 have done their research and paid a lot of attention to detail during this rebuild, right down to avoiding the temptation of installing an exhaust system with two tailpipes. Next week, we will explore what exactly a T5 is? How rare they are and explore some of the events that Laura and her brand new old car will be attending in this 50th anniversary year of the Ford Mustang.

Walker’s memories a Christmas gift for the next generation of her family By Gary McKenna

The Tri-CiTy News
Bertha Walker chronicles her early life in Port Coquitlam in ‘Love at First Sight’, a book she wrote for her children and grandchildren. Gary McKenna the tri-city newS
In Port Coquitlam, however, Walker said the couple was welcomed with open arms and, in her experience, nobody seemed to have an issue with the mixed-race couple. “We never really experienced anything untoward, as I say in the book,” she said.“We were never really on the de-
fensive, and that seemed to help.” Today, Walker lives in an apartment building in New Westminster but she still has many roots in Port Coquitlam. Most of her children and grandchildren live here and one son, Dean Washington, is a city councillor. Only 60 copies of
Love at First Sight exist but, since self-publishing the book, she said there has been some interest in her making more copies. She even spoke at a Burnaby writer’s workshop in April called Spoken Ink and there are people who have encouraged her to do more to promote the book.

or a year, Bertha Walker would take time each day to sneak off to a room in her New Westminster apartment to write. Nobody in her family knew what she was up to until March 22, when she unveiled Love at First Sight, a 220-page memoir encapsulating her experience raising six kids in Port Coquitlam. “It was going to be my Christmas present for my children and my grandchildren,” she told The Tri-City News. “It is mainly so that my family, especially the younger ones, will know the story.” Walker hadn’t written anything in more than six decades when she started the project. But armed with years of typing experience, a good memory and a Scrabble dictionary, the story of how she and husband Si Washington moved to PoCo started to come together. “I always wanted to be a writer,” she said.“I use to write a lot in school. I wrote a couple of short stories but that was a long time ago.” As a career typist, Walker knew her way around a computer keyboard. The hard part was deciding how to frame the story. But because the book is based on actual events and outlined in chronological order, she said it did not take long for the manuscript to take shape. “It is not like a novel where you have to manufacture people,” she said.“You don’t have to create the characters… it all happened.” Walker lived in Port Coquitlam for 32 years, first moving to the city in the 1950s. The book covers everything from raising a family to fixing up their first home, a residence that still stands on PoCo’s north side. It also deals with the issue of race in the 1950s. Washington was an African-American who was born in Memphis, Tenn. while Walker was Caucasian born in Vancouver. She said the couple spent numerous nights reading news reports from the U.S., where many cities were experiencing riots and racial tension.

Real homes for real people with MOSAIC’s York By Kerry Vital
Langley’s Willoughby neighbourhood has been growing over the past year, and offering a wide range of homes for local buyers. However, MOSAIC Homes is bringing something a bit different to the market with York, which is giving first-time buyers a chance to dip their toe into the home-owning waters with an accessible price point that doesn’t sacrifice any of the quality that MOSAIC is known for.
“It’s very rewarding to see someone buy their first home,” says MOSAIC’S Geoff Duyker. “People are taking their first step onto the market.” MOSAIC has introduced a new floorplan at York, called the Grouse plan and featuring two bedrooms and just over 1,000 square feet. “These are the most affordable homes compared to other townhomes on the market,” says Duyker. There are several other two-bedroom plans, as well as three-
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
bedroom plans. “There are a lot of options in this area for people buying a townhome,” says Duyker. “It’s exciting for us to be the one that people are choosing.” As evidence of this, MOSAIC opened York for sale last weekend, and already more than half of the first release of homes have been sold. In fact, Duyker notes that there were people sleeping outside the Home Store overnight the night before in order to be first in line to see the three model homes. “There is beautiful street appeal,” says Duyker. “We here at MOSAIC love design and love architecture.” That’s also proven inside, with oversized bay windows, curved archways in most homes and nine-foot ceilings on the main living level. “We call it ‘Country Modern’,” says Duyker. “It’s a more heritage-style form that’s been made contemporary. It just feels different than any other home on the market.” Homes at York start at $259,900. For more information, www.mosaichomes.com/york, stop by the Home Store on 207A off 84th in Langley, or call 604-882-6758.

Ledingham McAllister’s Waterscapes includes high-rise tower Skye at Waterscapes and The Herons at Waterscapes, a collection of four-storey low-rise buildings. Luxury is evident everywhere in the development, including the kitchen, top right, living area, bottom right, and The Cascade Club, right.
Resort-style living at Waterscapes By Kerry Vital
Ledingham McAllister brings luxury to Kelowna’s waterfront with Waterscapes, a master-planned community inspired by the sparkling lake and relaxing atmosphere. “It feels like a resort community,” says Manuela Mirecki, senior vice-president of marketing and design for Ledingham McAllister. “The response has been really, really good.” Waterscapes offers a range of home styles,
including high-rise residences at Skye and townhomes and low-rise homes at The Herons. Among the features in the homes are wood-grain shaker cabinetry in the kitchens and soaker tubs in the ensuite bathrooms. Homeowners at Waterscapes have exclusive access to The Cascade Club, which holds a fully equipped fitness centre, billiards lounge, guest suites, library and outdoor kitchen, among many other amenities. “The Cascade Club is literally your own private country club,” says Mirecki. “It’s been in constant use since it opened.” If you venture off the property, Waterscapes is just a short walk away from shopping dining and nightlife in Kelowna. “Living at Waterscapes offers you the whole life experience,” says Mirecki. “There is nothing like this anywhere else.” On June 21 and 22 between 12 and 6 p.m.,
Ledingham McAllister is hosting a blowout sales event for the remaining homes at Waterscapes, and will offer spectacular deals. “For the penthouse (at Skye), we will be reducing the price by up to $150,000, and two-bedroom-and-den homes by up to $60,000,” says Mirecki. In The Herons, Ledingham McAllister will be offering discounts of up to $80,000 on the townhomes and up to $45,000 on the two-bedroom-andden homes. “Ledingham McAllister has been in business for 109 years,” Mirecki says. “There’s no one else in Western Canada who can offer that level of experience.” For more information, visit www.ledmac. com/waterscapes, call 1-250-763-8313 or stop by the sales centre at Sky Tower, PH3, 1075 Sunset Drive, Kelowna, open daily (except Fridays) between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Hundreds of hockey enthusiasts heralded Canada’s favourite pastime during the nation’s largest street hockey competition last weekend. Coquitlam Centre’s parking lot played host to Hockey Night in Canada’s Play On! tournament, which featured four-on-four competitive and recreational matches for male and female players of all ages and skill levels. A celebrity game and a breakaway skills competition also entertained the crowd during the event.
PoCo gymnast soars to Coq. golfer claims top spot at nationals first junior title By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News
Port Coquitlam gymnast Robert Watson catapulted to victory at the Canadian National Gymnastics Championships held last month in Ottawa, Ont. T h e 2 0 - y e a r- o l d topped the field in the men’s senior all-around division, with a score of 82.1 points to capture his first national title. “For me it was a great accomplishment to have finally won the all-around title, mainly because it is what I have been working towards in how I chose to special-
ize in doing all six of the apparatus as opposed to only choosing a few to compete on,” said Watson in an email. The nationals are far from new territory for the veteran gymnast — this was Watson’s 10th appearance — who began competing competitively at the age of nine. Watson’s main goal is to one day earn a spot on the Canadian Olympic team. “I’m hoping as I continue to train and improve that gymnastics will take me there,” he said. sports@tricitynews.com
Larochelle takes first place at MJT Ford series

SubMitted photo
Robert Watson took home gold at the National Gymnastics Championships in Ottawa, Ont., last week.
Coquitlam’s Shayne Larochelle drove to first place at a Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour event in Pitt Meadows last weekend. The 18-year-old claimed his title after putting in solid rounds of 76-72 (148) during the MJT Ford Series at Swan-eSet Bay Resort and
Tri-Cities’
The Premier Club
For further information on the Club:
Country Club. Larochelle, an MJT veteran, broke out and won top honours overall, as well as the junior boys 17 to 19 division title. “The conditions of the course were very difficult the first day but favourable for scoring on day two,” said Larochelle in a tournament press release. “Scott Kerr, Edward Metcalfe and I were in a close battle for most of the final round. I putted well both days and it feels good to win for the first time on the MJT tour.”
Over 70 junior golfers competed in the junior and mini-tour at Swan-e-Set. In the bantam boys division, 14-year-old Isaac D.H. Lee from Coquitlam finished first with rounds of 74-76 (150). Larochelle is now short-listed for MJT Team Canada, which will compete at the SRIXON International Junior Classic in Australia this October. The final squad will be determined once the national qualifiers are completed. sports@tricitynews.com
