Port Coquitlam’s former chief administrative officer left the city with a massive bill upon his retirement in April of 2012. According to remuneration documents released Monday, Tony Chong was paid $429,566 in 2012, a figure that represents more than the salaries of the next two highest-paid staffers combined. According to Mayor Greg Moore, Chong’s enormous payout was due to the hundreds of unused vacation days that were accumulated over his nearly 30-year tenure with the city. Service severance payments were also factored into the payout, Moore said, although he added the city has changed its policies to limit the amount of vacation carryover staff can accumulate. As was the case in 2011, Chong was the lone city staffer to earn more than $200,000 last year. Other top earners among city staff include: • Barry Becker, director of parks and recreation: $183,071 • Laura Lee Richard, director of development services: $166,407 • Mindy Smith, director of corporate services: $166,407 • Albert Jensen, manager of environmental services: $161,493 • Nick Delmonico, the city’s fire chief: $154,991 • Andrew Wood, director of engineering and operations: $152,346 • Al Nicholson, deputy fire chief of facilities and training: $147,059 • Terry Hochstetter, deputy fire chief

The 2011 numbers indicate 30 city staffers made more than $100,000, compared to 28 staffers who eclipsed that mark in 2010. Moore topped all earners among council members both in terms of pay and expense totals. Moore earned $93,033 in his capacity as mayor, and claimed $5,445 in expenses.

His role as the chair of the Metro Vancouver board saw him earn an additional $72,372, while claiming $18,638 in expenses last year. He told the Tri-Cities NOW Tuesday that his expense totals in his capacity as mayor related to attending the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference and his work on the TransLink Mayors’ Council. His Metro totals, he explained, came largely because of attending conferences and taking trips to Victoria to meet with MLAs. All other council members made $36,118 last year.

Fixing the school district’s mess

GUY BONNEFOY HAS BEEN CALLED IN TO SORT OUT A DISTRICT IN FINANCIAL TURMOIL

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com When Guy Bonnefoy was first asked to help School District 43 clean up its budget mess, he was a little busy. He was cruising the Baja Peninsula with his wife for two months. So he politely declined. That was in January, just as it was being revealed the district was facing a budget shortfall for the school year, which was $5 million at the time. Eventually, the district would find itself in the hole $8 million for the current school year and another $12.5 million for 2013-14. A couple of months later, Supt. Tom Grant again reached out to Bonnefoy, who had started a consulting business after retiring as secretary treasurer of the Francophone Education Authority in 2010. The pair discussed the issues facing the district, but this time Bonnefoy was interested. “I decided, why not? The districts I’ve taken on have always been a challenge,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW, during an interview from his new, but temporary office at the school district’s headquarters, where he spends four days a week on the job. “Ultimately, my whole career has revolved around what’s good for kids.” And he got straight to the point with his new potential boss, making sure he was given a fair amount of freedom to make the necessary changes. “My question to Tom was, I could fill the chair as secretary treasurer, or I could help rebuild the district until you find someone permanent,” Bonnefoy said. Grant’s response: “Let’s get it going.” On April 30, Bonnefoy signed on as the district’s acting treasurer to help right a financial ship that had gone way off course. His contract runs for six months, or until the end of October, but the man in charge of the district’s coffers said he could stay on a couple of extra months until a permanent treasurer is hired. Though Bonnefoy didn’t disclose his specific salary, as he is not considered a paid employee of the district, he noted the contract is on par with the salaries of other secretary treasurers. Though he admits a half a year is not a lot of time to completely correct the issues at the district, he’s already made some valuable observations and key changes. Bonnefoy explained that School District 43 is one of the top districts in the province when it comes to delivering educational programs, but concedes there was a disconnect between the education offered and finances. “The only way a district can work successfully is if the two work in concert with one another,” he said. “Unfortunately, call it complacency, call it whatever, people let things go. Questions weren’t asked and all of a sudden you find yourself in a $12-million challenge.” Bonnefoy has also challenged whether the district’s educational goals are sustainable in the long run. He said the district now has to find a balance between what is provided to students and what it can afford. Earlier this month, the school board unanimously agreed to hire accounting firm KPMG to perform both a forensic audit and a process review of the district’s books. Both will be carried out during the summer.

Guy Bonnefoy says whoever takes over as School District 43’s permanent secretary treasurer will face a difficult task. “It’s never fun when you have to come in Bonnefoy won’t be taking part in the audit, but he has had a chance to peruse the books and take a district on when people are losing since starting the job and doesn’t believe any- their jobs and their livelihoods — that’s the worst time for any school district,” Bonnefoy thing fraudulent took place. Even before the audit begins, Bonnefoy has said. But if there is an ideal person to swoop in started to put his stamp on the district’s finanand make the hard decisions, it’s Bonnefoy, ces. He said it starts with accountability. Bonnefoy has met with each budget man- according to a former colleague.

couple stints as the assistant secretary treasurer in Chilliwack and treasurer of the then Agassiz-Harrison school district. Bonnefoy, who now lives in Chilliwack, finished up his career at the Francophone school district for five years before retiring in 2010 to start his own consulting business. He never completed a degree in his field. “[I’m] a guy who started on the bottom and worked his way through,” he said, pointing out he’s left every school district with a surplus. Bonnefoy also appears to have won over the locals, including CTA president Teresa Grandinetti. “Nothing that I’ve seen so far leads me to believe he won’t do a good job,” she said. Grandinetti said she especially appreciates that Bonnefoy understands that the business side of the district is there to support the educational goals. The CTA president is confident the acting treasurer is the right person to steer the district back on track. Ultimately, Bonnefoy won’t be around to see the end result of his efforts. Though he loves a challenge, he has no interest in a permanent position. “I’m not looking for a full-time job. This is as full time as I want to be right now,” he said, adding he has a few “coals in the fire” with his consulting gig. But he did offer a glimpse of what his eventual successor is in for, noting the next treasurer will need to manage the system like a business, and rely on staff buying into his or her vision. “You’re going to have to find a pretty special person who wants to take the task,” Bonnefoy said, “because it’s not going to be an easy task.”

Neighbours were concerned as up to eight police vehicles parked outside a home on Mariner Way Tuesday, but police confirmed later in the day it was a suicide.

Police presence concerns residents

Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com Neighbours were concerned about a heavy police presence at a home on Mariner Way Tuesday, but Coquitlam Mounties confirmed later that day that the investigation was related to a suicide. Police were called to the home in the 3100 block of Mariner Way, just north of Como Lake Avenue, at around 8 a.m. Tuesday.

At the time, the RCMP said the public was not at risk. Police later confirmed the incident was a suicide and the investigation was complete. No further information was released. A neighbour indicated the house was rented by a family of five in the bottom portion of the home and to two young men upstairs. It’s unclear in which part of the home the incident took place.

Coquitlam’s city staff salary bill nears $65M CITY HAS 105 BUREAUCRATS WHO EARN SIX-FIGURE SALARIES; 2 TOP $200K MARK John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com There are more high earners than ever before at Coquitlam City Hall. Numbers released Monday indicate two city staffers earned more than $200,000 last year, with another 103 bureaucrats topping the $100,000 plateau. Remuneration totals for 2011 point to 93 staff members eclipsing the $100,000 mark, while in 2010, 86 staffers made north of $100,000. Heading up the 2012 list are city manager Peter Steblin ($271,428) and deputy city manager John DuMont ($242,189). The pair made $237,585 and $212,440 respectively in 2011. They both topped the $200,000 mark in 2010 as well.

On top of earning more than anyone else, Steblin also claimed more expenses — $7,123 — than any other staff member. Other high earners rounding out the top 10 include: • Maurice Gravelle, manager of strategic initiatives: $193,805 • Jim McIntyre, manager of planning and development: $190,401 • Tony Delmonico, former fire chief: $190,872. • Sheena MacLeod, manager of financial services: $187,969 • Bill Susak, manager of engineering and public works: $187,097. • Lori MacKay, manager of parks, recreation and culture: $185,705 • Ron Price, manager of human resources: $160,543

• Heather Bradfield, city solicitor: $155,253 In total, the city paid out just shy of $28 million to staff members who make more than $75,000 in 2012. The cumulative pay of all city staff was just under $65 million. Mayor Richard Stewart was the lone elected official to make six figures, as his 2012 salary checked in at $123,696, the same amount he made in 2011. He claimed $16,092 in expenses, totals he said Tuesday were split evenly between vehicle costs and other expenses. The rest of council — including former councillors Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson — made $53,836 each. twitter.com/johnkurucz

Parking fees at hospitals hurt patients

harging parking fees at hospitals is more than an inconvenience. It’s more than a minor annoyance for folks visiting loved ones confined to a hospital bed. Let’s face it, even without those parking fees, hospital visits are not generally joyful experiences that people look forward to. Much as we all wish to support our friends and loved ones in need, most of us would rather they didn’t need that kind of support — we’d rather they didn’t need to be in the hospital in the first place. But they do need to be there, and when they are in hospital, we do want — and need — to support them. It has been shown that supportive visits from friends and family have a significant positive impact on hospital patients’ health outcomes. Consequently, something as seemingly inconsequential as a fee to park in the hospital lot turns out not to be inconsequential at all. It affects the health of patients who need the comfort of loved ones around them — especially loved ones who can’t find change or understand the nuances of pay parking procedures under the stress of an emergency situation. Perhaps most importantly, it’s deceitful. Only one-third of the money collected from the parking lots at Fraser Health hospitals actually goes to maintaining the parking structure. Of the $14 million in parking fees collected in the past year by Fraser Health (about $19 million the year before), more than $8 million goes into the health authority’s operating budget. That $8 million is actually hidden user fees — and in an honest environment, would be openly recognized as such. Or it should be openly acknowledged as a part of the provincial tax structure. It’s a drop in the bucket of the province’s multi-billiondollar health care budget. But it means a lot to people who just want to pay a supportive visit.

PARENTS, DON’T LET YOUR KIDS HOG THE TOT LOT

When our three-year-old granddaughter comes to visit from out of town, she enjoys going to play at the tot lot in the Town Centre Park. When I took her there last week, I noted conditions which were a problem because of improperly supervised “older” children. The exit and entrance to the slides were blocked by several boys, whom I estimated to be nine to 12 years in age. Even with a strong objection they were right back in the blocking mode within a minute or so. The irony is that two females who were supposedly supervising their play stood about 10 feet away, leaning on a fence and chatting away, ignoring the problem the boys were creating for smaller children who wished to use the slides. I know that Coquitlam will not hire supervisory staff to oversee this area, but something needs to be done. Perhaps an age limit on use of the “tot lot” is the best solution? Certainly these boys were bored with the normal use of the equipment and should have been encouraged to participate in sports events happening in other areas of the park. I blame poor parental supervision.

Will Dix survive infighting?

he province’s MLAs take their place in the legislature this week, and 34 of them come back into the house with a giant dark cloud hovering over them. Those would be members of the new NDP caucus, a dispirited and demoralized bunch who will put their best faces forward and insist they will perform as an aggressive, responsible Opposition ready to hold the government’s feet to the fire. But how they perform in the legislature masks the fact the party faces a grim political reality. The party has a serious leadership problem, as leader Adrian Dix’s hold on the job is far from secure. Dix has said he takes “full responsibility” for the stunning election loss. What that actually means has not yet been made clear. If he tries to hang on to his job, he will face a test at the party’s convention in November, when delegates will vote on whether there should be a leadership election. I suspect he will need the backing of at least 70 per cent of the delegates to continue on with any credibility, and if the vote were held today I doubt he would receive that level of support (but time may cool some tempers). Dix may want to review his party’s remarkable record for vicious infighting when it comes to party leadership. In 1986, some members of the NDP caucus staged an unsuccessful coup against then-leader Bob Skelly, who was perceived as someone who could not compete with Bill Vander Zalm in that year’s election. Skelly’s successor, Mike Harcourt, resigned after he was essentially deserted by his own caucus when the Bingogate scandal engulfed his party.

VIEW FROM THE LEDGE Keith Baldrey

The next leader, Glen Clark, was in trouble with some members of his own caucus even before the casino scandal forced him from the premier’s office. The subsequent leadership race to replace Clark was a bitter clash between Ujjal Dosanjh and Gordon Wilson, and the anger associated with that race was heightened because the 2001 election was a foregone conclusion and the party was about to be booted from power. And then, of course, there was the remarkable takedown of Carole James. It appeared the divisions within the caucus that were created by that crisis had healed, but I have to wonder whether the election loss and questions about Dix’s leadership will rip open those wounds. Given that every party leader between Dave Barrett and Dix faced some kind of internal revolt, it is hard to see how Dix will avoid the same treatment, although whether he survives that infighting remains to be seen. Further troubling the New Democrats is what appears to be a fundamental philosophical split in the party. As I wrote in this space a few weeks ago, the split was revealed in the middle of the election campaign when Dix suddenly declared his dead-set opposition to the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline. One of the reasons the NDP lost the election is because that opposition to a large industrial project may well have

cost it seats outside of Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island. By aligning itself with the environmental lobby, the party may marginalize itself and confine its support to the city of Vancouver, a few suburbs and the Island. This problem doesn’t end with Kinder Morgan. If the NDP decides it is against things like fracking, the Site C dam and LNG terminals, it will further cement its image as an anti-job party not interested in economic development. Such a development would be hugely ironic. The NDP traces its roots to the old CCF party, which was a labour-oriented party that fought for the interests of those working in industries such as forestry and mining. But the party is drifting away from workers in those industries and towards environmentalists and public sector unions. We may indeed be headed to a realignment of our two major parties. Perhaps B.C. will eventually have an environmental party and a business party, with minor parties around the edges. But such a scenario may be a ways off yet. In the meantime, the NDP has to carry on with that giant black cloud hanging over its head, while the B.C. Liberals can’t stop smiling about receiving an unexpected new lease on life from the voters. And broadening those smiles is the knowledge that their wounded opponents have leadership issues and policy differences. Lucky for the NDP the session will only be a month long.

OPINION MODERNIZE WATER ACT

Shortly after the 2009 B.C. election, a commitment was made to modernize the province’s century old Water Act to meet the challenges of a new century. It was one of the government’s most important environmental initiatives, yet remained unfulfilled as the last mandate ended and a new government was elected last month. Too often, British Columbians falsely assume that we have no end of fresh water. But we don’t. And there’s every reason to believe in the coming decades that our water resources will be under increased strain due to rapid population growth, major industries clamouring for more water and residents and businesses alike demanding more power from hydroelectric sources. If this isn’t reason enough to get serious about how we manage our most precious natural resource, climate change could bedevil even the best water management plans by altering the intensity and duration of peak and low water flows. All of the above underscores the need for Premier Christy Clark and her government to follow through on the commitments

made four years ago. British Columbians deserve a new Water Sustainability Act now, before a raft of proposed new mines and liquefied natural gas plants are built. Clark has underscored many times her commitment only to approve energy projects once environmental concerns are properly addressed. Committing to completing the Water Act renewal work that her predecessor began would be a great place to start, because right now the provincial government often operates in the dark as far as our water resources are concerned. In what will come as a surprise to many, B.C. collects almost no data on water used by major industries in the province. It’s a glaring hole in environmental stewardship. In fact, in some cases the B.C. government doesn’t even require big water consumers to measure what they withdraw from rivers, lakes and streams. In the pulp and paper industry, for example, only one mill — that’s right, just one — is required to meter the water they take. In the natural gas industry, where large volumes of water are required for use in controversial hydraulic fracturing (fracking) operations, a number of companies are similarly off the hook for

metering under the terms of government-issued water licences. More troubling, the water used is subsequently rendered so toxic that it can never be safely discharged back to where it came from. In response to increased public criticisms about the impacts that the natural gas sector could have on our waters, the provincial Oil and Gas Commission began in 2011 to require at least partial reporting on the water used by the industry, and it is committed to fuller reporting in the months ahead. But this is the exception to the rule. British Columbia has no central repository where the most basic information on water use is housed. Consequently, no one can say with certainty how much water is withdrawn from what water body at any point in time. Compounding problems, we are not being compensated adequately when major industries use public water resources. For example, right now under the terms of their water licences, natural gas companies pay the province token “fees” of just $2.75 for every Olympic swimming pool’s worth of water withdrawn. In Dawson Creek, by comparison, the same amount of water sold by

the municipality to some of the same companies involved in fracking operations fetches more than $11,000. With fracking likely to skyrocket under a scenario where one or more liquefied natural gas terminals get built in B.C., the need to properly monitor our water resources is urgent. The provincial government can remedy this situation immediately by doing three simple things. First, grant one provincial agency sole responsibility for gathering and reporting all information on water use and have an independent auditor periodically verify the agency’s performance. Second, require that all major water users meter the water they consume and report it to the province. And third, increase water use fees and use a portion of the revenues collected to pay for a province-wide water use database and increased environmental monitoring and enforcement efforts. The time has come to bring our water legislation into the 21st century. The right place to start is to insist that we know what is being used and that users pay their fair share for what they take.

Coquitlam RCMP’s prolific target team began tracking a stolen vehicle in PoCo. As soon as the driver stopped for fuel at a gas station, the team swooped in for an arrest. The driver and two passengers were arrested. Ian MacKay, 44, of PoCo, who police note has an extensive criminal record, is facing a number of charges, including possession of stolen property, possessing a break-in instrument, and operating a motor vehicle while disqualified. “Public safety is our first priority,” RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said in a statement. “The driver is known in the past to flee from the police at all cost, even if he has to physically ram his way through with the stolen vehicle and drive away at high speed. Out of abundance of caution, we waited for the suspect to be outside of the stolen vehicle before we moved in to arrest him.” The two passengers, Amber Porter, 34, and Tessa Dewsbury, 18, are each facing one count of breach of recognizance/undertaking. Mounties note a number of items were seized from the vehicle that investigators believe were stolen from all over the Lower Mainland, and add that the investigation is not done. MacKay has been held in custody until his next court appearance on June 27.

president of the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club. “Based on conversations I’ve had with other people, I would say we are all tracking in the same direction.” Andrea Mattinson, vice president of the Coquitlam Sport Centre User Group Association, echoed that optimism. It’s a drastic departure from even last year, when close to 150 kids couldn’t register for local ball hockey leagues due to space and capacity issues. “We’ve been waiting for a facility for a long time. This is something we needed yesterday,” Mattinson said. “We’re happy that council is addressing the need and going forward to look at something in the short term as soon as possible.” Mattinson and Basic belong to organizations that represent well over 10,000 athletes in the city. Along with others in the sports community, they have been lobbying the city for years, arguing that Coquitlam hasn’t seen any new dedicated dry floor space built since 1975. Since that time, the city’s population has doubled. The major players in need of added floor time include the obvious major sports — lacrosse, soccer and floor hockey — though a number of other fringe sports and lesser-known activities could make use of the facility as well. Given that the consensus location is near the Poirier precinct, seniors from Dogwood Pavilion could get involved in pickle ball, badminton and carpet bowling. “Obviously, if it’s near Dogwood Pavilion, that would be a great benefit to them,” said Coun. Craig Hodge, chair of the city’s sports council. The city is proposing using Sprung Fabric, a type of material that is weatherproof and akin to a tent-like structure, at the new facility. The playing surface would likely be a type of polyurethane that is softer and more forgiving than asphalt. It’s also hoped the structure would contain separate washroom showering facilities and dressing room facilities that would be wheelchair accessible. Now that the groups have flagged their preferences, it’s expected that feedback will go to council before the summer break in late July. From there, it’s hoped costs and construction time lines will be established. “This is something we’ve been hearing about for a long time,” Hodge said. “It’s something that’s been discussed for many years and now is the time to move ahead and address some of these needs. “We want to make sure we keep our youth active.” twitter.com/johnkurucz

Golfathon for ALS Mayor in cycling event Thursday in Tri-Cities John KURUCZ

John KURUCZ

jkurucz@thenownews.com Even in the most tragic of times, Don McCusker can hit the links and put all of his worries on the backburner. Whether it’s the notion of personal accountability, or just getting a walk out in the fresh air, the 39-year-old Vancouver resident is able to put his recent diagnosis with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in perspective when he’s on a golf course. That’s why he’s participating in Thursday’s PGA of B.C. Golfathon for ALS, a province-wide fundraiser that sees golf pros play from sunrise to sunset to support those living with ALS. “Golf teaches you a lot about life and a lot of life lessons as far as remaining focused and having to be responsible to yourself,” McCusker said. “It also teaches you about integrity and honesty. There’s a lot of good things that can come out of learning the game of golf.” Tomorrow (June 27), McCusker will partner up with Vancouver Golf Club pros Mike Heenan and Dean Kuntz to raise awareness and funds for the ALS Society of BC. It’s a fitting setting for McCusker’s efforts, given that he’s been a member at the Coquitlam club since 1990. He took part in last year’s event as well, which raised

LISA KING/NOW

Don McCusker was diagnosed with ALS last year. $34,000. “I’ve been golfing all my life because I grew up in a family of golfers,” he said. “My dad played golf all his life and got me involved. It’s a nice, relaxing, therapeutic sport. It actually does help. I find it very calming and I feel very comfortable at the Vancouver Golf Club.” McCusker was diagnosed with ALS, commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, in January 2012. The warning signs became evident just months earlier, when he noticed his speech becoming slurred in the fall of 2011. The disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that affects the motor neurons that carry messages to the muscles, resulting in weakness and wasting in arms, legs, mouth, throat and else-

where. Typically, the person is immobilized within two to five years of the initial diagnosis. There is no known cause or cure. Despite those ramifications and health effects — McCusker’s speech is heavily impacted by the disease — he refuses to let it get the best of him. “Very early on, I needed to make a decision on whether I was going to feel sorry for myself or try and live my life,” he said. “It was a very easy decision for me because I have a lot of tremendous support from my family and from my network of friends. There are so many things I enjoy doing. I made a conscious decision to live life everyday with a positive attitude.” For more information on the event, or to donate, visit www.golfathonforals.ca.

For Vanessa Stewart, the hardest part was believing positive change was coming. The 22-year-old Coquitlam resident was diagnosed with major depression and other symptoms related to anxiety and personality disorders about 18 months ago. Her involvement in last weekend’s Ride Don’t Hide mental health fundraiser was a sign that she’s turning the corner towards a better life. “I hate to say it because people may not believe me, but it does get better,” she said. “When I was at my low point and people told me it would get better, I did not believe them. But it does get better.” Vanessa took part in Sunday’s Ride Don’t Hide event at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium, organized by the

Richard Stewart Canadian Mental Health Association to raise funds for and awareness of mental health issues. It featured hundreds of participants cycling around the track, and as of Tuesday, pledges hovered around $450,000. Vanessa participated in the event alongside her mother and her father, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart. “This was the first time

that she publicly commented on her illness,” Richard said. “The trepidation of a father with his daughter’s decision was outweighed by how proud I was that she felt comfortable talking about it, because it’s an issue we should be talking more about.” Vanessa said a handful of indicators suggested something was awry roughly 18 months ago: a string of bad relationships, a pair of car accidents, residual back pain, a poor diet and stress from school. She saw a trio of doctors before her condition was confirmed, but credits the support of her parents and boyfriend, and a renewed focus on physical fitness, for helping see her through. “I realized that I shouldn’t be ashamed of this — I should be focusing on the fact that I’m winning the battle against this disorder,” she said.

School murals get anti-graffiti coating

LOCAL COMPANY STEPS UP AFTER SEEING STORY OF SECOND ROUND OF VANDALISM

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com They were created as a symbol of the community, so it was only fitting that when a group of murals at Heritage Mountain Elementary were vandalized, it was a local company that stepped up to help. Jean Aussant is the owner and president of Xtreme Environmental Solutions, a Tri-Cities cleaning company that also deals with graffiti removal. The company’s clients include School District 43 and the West Coast Express, along with the cities of Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam. So when he read the story in the Tri-Cities NOW recently about the second bout of vandalism on the murals at Heritage Mountain Elementary, he felt compelled to act. Aussant and his company reached out to the school’s princi-

pal, Craig Mah, offering to put an anti-graffiti coating on the mural for free. Essentially, the treatment is a clear paint that prevents graffiti from attaching to the original surface. In most cases, the vandalism can be removed with just hot water. “It’s very easy to remove,” Aussant said, noting the company will come out to do any cleaning if the murals are vandalized again. He said he’s been in the community for 40 years and wanted to help the kids out. “It’s my community. If we all do a little bit extra, we’ll make the community look much better,” Aussant said. “I’m a firm believer [that] we have to join hands and do it together.” Sometime over the weekend of June 8, most likely on the Saturday, someone or a group of people scrawled explicit pic-

They have since been sold to raise money for a new playground at the school. The school’s parent advisory committee recently reached its $104,000 fundraising goal to build the new playground, which is expected to open by September or October.

They’re one of the most unsightly pieces of litter you could find in a public space. But after years of people flinging their cigarette butts wherever they might land, there is an effort in B.C. to get the filters off the street for good. After taking part in butt cleanup efforts in Vancouver’s West End, Coquitlam resident Bill Dodds believes it’s time to hold a similar event in the Tri-Cities. So the former smoker is organizing what he called his own “butt crusade.” “Let’s try it in the Tri-Cities area,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. “It does make a difference. Nobody is entitled to make this ugly litter. For that matter, are we entitled to leave our sidewalks and parks to be cleaned up by someone else?” Dodds noted there are beach cleanups and adopt-a-street programs, but no one has targeted the cigarette butt. Besides looking unsightly, he pointed out the filters are not biodegradable and can cause long-term environmental damage. At least one group is pushing the province to implement a cigarette-butt return program, similar to bottle return programs. On June 16, a downtown Vancouver group offered a penny for every returned cigarette butt, or $20 per pound, at the West End’s Car Free Day. More than 60,000 discarded butts were turned in, according to organizers. The City of Vancouver is considering a motion to set up a butt-return program, funded by a fee on the sale of every cigarette pack,

SPORTS SHORTS SAINTS FALL BEHIND

The Port Coquitlam Saints have run into a rough patch in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League schedule. PoCo had its losing streak extended to three games, thanks to back-to-back defeats suffered at the hands of Langley and New Westminster. Friday’s setback to New West came despite lashing out to a 3-0 lead on tallies by Matt Delmonico, Connor Goodwin and Tyler Pace. The 7-10 Saints held the Bellies off the scoresheet over the first period, but New West made up for lost time by outscoring PoCo 7-1 in the middle frame. Netminder Garrett Spann faced a barrage, turning aside 51 shots in the loss. Delmonico collected a hat trick. A day earlier, the Saints erased a 5-2 deficit with a three-goal run in the second, only to fall behind over the final 25 minutes. Scoring three times in the loss was Goodwin. PoCo hosts Coquitlam on Friday, 8 p.m. at the POCo Rec Centre, and welcomes Nanaimo on Saturday.

QUINTET TO KAZAN

Team Canada is ready to take on the World. All but a few sports selections have been made for the 2013 Summer Universiade, which runs July 6 to 17 in Kazan, Russia.

Track runner Benjamin Ayesu-Attah, who competes and studies at the University of Idaho, will run in the men’s 400-metre, while the University of Washington’s Kyle Nielsen will compete in the javelin. Simon Fraser University wrestler Stacie Anaka will take to the mats in the women’s 67-kilogram division. A pair of soccer players — UBC’s Paul Clerc and UVic’s Jaclyn Sawicki — will draw in to their respective men’s and women’s lineups. The Summer Universiade expects to host more than 13,500 university athletes from 170 countries in 13 mandatory and 14 optional sporting events.

A’s score bushel in Rose’s return Dan OLSON

sports@thenownews.com

rose by any other name wouldn’t provide the Coquitlam Adanacs with much of a chance. But this Rose — netminder Nick Rose — does. Having played all but one period without the services of the 2012 Western Lacrosse Association MVP, the Adanacs were on the outside looking in. With Rose back in the picture and eight games remaining in the regular season, the squad’s playoff hopes just received a huge boost. Rose returned to the lineup Saturday and backstopped the Adanacs to an 11-7 victory over the Burnaby Lakers, one of the teams they need to catch. It helped put a tough 14-6 setback in Victoria, suffered a day earlier, behind them. “Nick Rose brings a huge piece back to our team…. (Back-up goalie Adam Shute) has done really well, but all I can say is he’s no Nick Rose,” remarked Adanacs head coach Bob Salt. “Langley’s got a go-to guy, Victoria’s got a guy and we’ve got a guy as good as any out there and that’s Rosey.” Rose shook off a rough first period — surrendering three goals on 11 shots — to hold the fort in the second, where he turned aside 13 of 15 shots. After trailing 2-0 before the game was eight minutes old, Coquitlam awoke and tallied eight of

the next 10 goals to take momentum on the night. Led by former Laker Scott Tinning, who was acquired two weeks ago in a trade between the two clubs, the Coquitlam offence found its range and pinned Burnaby with a steady stream of goals. Jeff Zywicki, playing in just his third game, cashed in three times, while Brett Hickey netted two goals and four assists. But no doubt the biggest boost came in the form of six-foot, 270pound Rose, who was happy to be back on the floor after suffering a lower body injury in the first period of the season opener. “That was one of the worst experiences I’ve had in this game, watching my teammates play without me and going to battle every night,” noted Rose, 23. “It was just awful. I’m happy to be back and I think we’ve got a great squad who can go on a long run here.” The Orangeville, Ont. native started all but one game last year, posting a 7.53 goals-against average. Voted the league’s MVP, Rose was a big part of the club’s surprise march to the league playoff final. He’s hoping that the squad can turn a corner over the final eight games and get into the playoffs. “We have to keep with the same attitude and come with the same mojo every game,” he said. “We just can’t take nights off like we have been... We just have to keep [our]

The loss in Victoria, however, was an eye-opener, said Salt. “[Friday] was the worst night I’ve seen since I came here,” said Salt. “We’re all disappointed and we had a

Athletes to challenge at nat dojo Next week’s Canadian Judo championships in Richmond will feature a strong Tri-Cities flavour. That’s because at least 16 athletes from the region will be in competition, looking to pile on the medals for Team B.C. Leading the charge for B.C. over the four-day event are four members of Port Coquitlam’s Root family — Drew and Matt, competing in senior males; Kurt, in under-18 male; and Kristi, in u-21 female. The annual championship is being held this year in Richmond — where one of the first dojos in Canada was established, and hosted by the 60year-old Steveston club — with an expected crowd of 700-plus athletes in competition. Created in Japan in 1882, judo has grown in Canada to an estimated 22,000 participants in approxmately 400 clubs. Other Tri-Cities athletes who’ll participate are: Tom Argue, Eric Cherneff and Mike Crandell, masters male division; Koki Norumatsu, Dante St. Prix and George St. Amour, u18 male; Shoma Asano, u15 male; Rick Blanchard, Stephan Duran, Glen Ford, Harley Mechalchuk and John Morris, kata.

jdeutsch@thenownews.com School District 43 officials knew they would have to make cuts to deal with a ballooning deficit, and on Tuesday employees and the public learned just how deep the reductions will be once the budget is done. To make up for a $12.1-million projected operating deficit for the 2013/2014 school year, the district is looking at cutting six per cent of its staff across the board. More specifically, it’s proposing to cut 142 pos-

itions within the district. A further breakdown of the numbers has the district cutting 81 teachers, 19 teacher assistants/special education assistants/youth workers along with 32 clerical/custodial/IT and facilities positions and 10 from administration. The staffing cuts add up to $11.5 million in savings. Some of the positions being cut will be offset by attrition, with as many as 30 staff in various positions already putting in their retirement papers for the end of the year. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5
