Parents plan to rally ORGANIZER UPSET OVER PROPOSED CLASSROOM CUTS

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com With major cuts planned to School District 43’s budget, Tri-Cities parents plan to rally, aiming their frustration at the province.

A group called Parents4BC, made up of TriCities residents, has organized a rally for this Friday in front of Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer’s constituency office.

Organizer Lisa Cable said she and her fellow parents have been watching what’s going on with

the district’s budget process and aren’t happy, specifically with cuts to the classroom.

The group is worried the cuts will have “devastating” impacts on students and teachers.

The district is dealing with a $13.4-million operating shortfall for the 2014-15 school year, with officials blaming the deficit in part on inflation and systemic cuts by the province.

Cable said the rally is intended to send a message to the provincial government.

She suggested there is a disconnect, noting the CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Court hears from victims’ families

Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com “I am a mother now, but I don’t have a child.”

That was just part of the emotionalvictimimpactstatement read in court Monday

by Mary Ogilvie, the mother of Charlene Reaveley — one of two women killed by a drunk driver — at the sentencing hearing for the man responsible for the crime.

Ogilvie said she lives every day in a nightmare since her daughter died, adding the crash destroyed so many lives, including those of Charlene’s four young children.

The mother said the entire family will be suffering for the rest of their lives. “[Charlene] was my entire world,” she told the judge.

Ogilvie’s was one of seven victim impact statements read out in court at Cory Sater’s sentencing hearing Monday morning that drew tears from many in the courtroom.

In January, a judge found

NOW FILE PHOTO

Cory Sater has pled guilty in the hit-and-run deaths of Charlene Reaveley and Lorraine Cruz.

Sater guilty of six charges, including impaired driving causing death and bodily harm, and dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm.

He pled guilty to a charge of hit and run at the end of his trial.

Sater was originally facing 10 charges related to the crash on Feb. 19, 2011 that

killed Reaveley and Lorraine Cruz on the side of Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam.

A third person, Cruz’s boyfriend Paulo Calimbahin, was seriously injured.

In his victim impact statement read by his sister in court, Dan Reaveley, Charlene’s husband, said he lost his high school sweetheart, comparing the loss

to losing eyesight after 30 years.

He said the family’s hopes, dreams and goals were eliminated the night of the crash, adding his children will have to grow up without their mom.

“They’ll never know how great their mother truly was,” Reaveley said.

Since the day of the crash, he said he hardly sleeps and eats and at one point contemplated taking his own life.

Calimbahin said not only

did he lose his leg and job as a result of the crash, but the incident took away his future with Cruz, while Cruz’s mother said her life has never been the same since the night her daughter died.

Crown is asking for Sater to be sentenced to eight to nine years in jail for all seven offences.

Crown counsel Christopher McPherson argued Sater made a series of deliberate decisions the night of the crash, adding there should

be no mitigating factors in his sentencing. Calling it an act of “remarkable selfishness,” he instead suggested there were highly aggravating factors, noting Sater left the scene of the crash.

“To kill someone and leave is an act of callousness,” he said.

Later that afternoon, Sater also addressed the court and the families.

He said he feels terrible about the crash and suggested he would switch places with the three victims.

Sater, who broke down in tears during his statement, also suggested he feels the worst that Reaveley’s children lost their mother.

“Every day I think about it,” he said.

“Rest assured I will be torturing myself for the rest of my life.”

He also apologized to his own family, including his two children, who were in the courtroom.

John Gabel, who lives near a housing development under construction on Lebleu Street in Coquitlam, says the development is causing problems on his property.

Both the city and the developer, however, maintain that’s not the case.

3G www.openroadautogroup.com

NEW CARS USED CARS

Couple differ with developer and city over development John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com A Maillardville couple has raised several concerns about a new development being built near their home, though both the developer and the city maintain that all is in order and they’ve done everything they can to minimize any impact.

Cynthia Picchioni and John Gabel live on Lebleu Street, adjacent to the Bluetree Homes at Mackin Park development that’s nearing completion.

The couple claim the development is causing drainage problems in their yard, and that their view will be significantly impacted for roughly six months of the year.

“We’re going to be covered by shade from October until late April. Up until two weeks ago we were in total darkness from the front of the property to the back of our property,” Picchioni said.

The couple suggest alterations to their back lane could prevent emergency vehicles from accessing the lane once that work is done. They also have concerns around the potential for increased traffic and a loss in property values due to the development, which consists of a pair of four-storey buildings that will house 86 units.

“It’s not just the depreciation of everybody’s properties in the neighbourhood. It’s going to be a parking issue, it’s going to be a noise issue and we already have this water issue,” Picchioni said.

But both the city and the developer of the site suggest otherwise.

Wesgroup Properties marketing manager Amy Médard de Chardon said a geotechnical assessment of the site suggested the development was not causing the excess water in the couple’s yard. She also said the couple has refused to allow further geotechnical work on their property.

“The geotechnical engineer found no reason to believe that drainage would be an issue on their property as a result of the downhill Bluetree development,” added Doug Vance, Coquitlam’s manager of building permits and inspections.

As for the lane, Vance noted that while it’s not considered a formal fire-access route, emergency vehicles will be able to fit through it.

Médard De Chardon said the building envelope adheres to all of the zoning parameters in the area, adding that Gabel has lodged “repeated complaints” with the city, police and WorkSafeBC. “With all his complaints, we’ve never been cited for anything wrong,” she said. “We’ve really tried to be neighbourly with him. We’ve offered to rebuild his fence, re-do his retaining wall, extend the trellis so that it softens his outlook onto our development. He’s turned all that down.”

The development is slated for completion in two phases: one building will open in October, while the other is set to open in December.

Nurse attacked by patient

Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com The BC Nurses’ Union is sounding the alarm over staffing levels and worker safety after an incident at Eagle Ridge Hospital in Port Moody last week.

According to the union, the April 22 incident occurred when a nurse was trying to help an elderly dementia

patient from falling off a second-floor balcony.

The union said the nurse called for a code white (when a person demonstrates aggressive behaviour) when the man, who they say is known to be violent, started climbing over a wall.

But the union claims the paging system hadn’t worked properly for several months and the emergency response

team didn’t know where to go. The nurse apparently pulled the patient back to safety, but was head butted and elbowed in the process.

The patient then picked up a large rock from the balcony garden and hit the nurse on the head. She received stitches, while the union said it took Fraser Health three more days to fix the paging system.

“This is the kind of callous disregard Fraser Health has for nurses who face violence every day in the course of trying to do their jobs,” said BCNU president Debra McPherson in a statement.

“This nurse — at great personal risk — saved this man’s life, but was then subjected to a vicious attack because the code white announcement was muffled, so they didn’t know where she was.”

In the same statement, McPherson suggested the incident points to another problem, in that violent dementia patients are put in wards without adequate, trained staff who know how to deal with them.

But officials with Fraser Health said the authority continues to try and mitigate incidents involving aggressive behaviour from patients through ongoing education and training.

The health authority said it has a comprehensive violence prevention policy in place, reviews each instance of aggression that takes place at its hospitals and works with top officials “to ensure that the level of security and other measures is appropriate to ensure the safety of our staff and patients.”

“We take incidents of violence against our staff very seriously,” said Valerie Spurrell, the hospital’s executive director, in an e-mail to the Tri-Cities NOW. “At this time, we continue to support our employee who was involved in this incident to ensure their well-being.”

She added the hospital has systems in place to ensure staff are aware of patients who have a history of aggression, but in this instance there was no prior indication of past violent behaviour.

The authority acknowledged the hospital has had “on-and-off” clarity issues with the paging system for a few weeks but has been working with Health Shared Services BC, a division of the Provincial Health Services Authority, to come up with a solution.

In the meantime, the hospital has put a system in place for a secondary announcement, if needed.

“As a resident of a street that already services Leigh Elementary on a daily basis, it’s a traffic nightmare,” said Wilkie Avenue resident Kirstin Hallett.

The site was planned for a portion of Smiling Creek that splits to the east and west, leaving the proposed site in the middle of those two watercourses.

Another Wilkie Avenue resident, Shane Peachman, said bears were seen roaming between the two waterways on a daily basis last summer.

Others suggested a cougar was spotted in the area last year as well.

PoCo offers emergency preparedness courses

AsEmergencyPreparedness Week approaches from May 4 to 10, PoCo residents who want to get prepared can look to the city for help.

City services may not be available for at least 72 hours after a major emergency such as an earthquake, flood or severe storm. But PoCo’s Emergency Preparedness (EP) program has trained city staff and volunteers to assist the community in the aftermath of a disaster, according to a press release, and also offers a series of free one-day courses throughout the year to help residents prepare.

Personal preparedness is a key component of the city’s EP program — the more residents can take care of themselves in the days immediately following a disaster, the more the city can focus on restoring services. The city’s free EP courses provide information on four different topics in a half-day session: personal preparedness, rapid damage assessment, basic fire suppression, and light urban search and rescue.

“If you haven’t prepared yourself and your family for a disaster, don’t put it off any longer,” said Coun. Dean Washington, chair of the city’s community safety committee.

“Our free EP courses pack a lot of useful information into a half day. You’ll sleep better knowing your family is prepared to manage on their own for at least 72 hours if an earthquake or other disaster happens.”

Free EP course registration is now open for courses on May 24, Sept. 20 and Nov. 22.

AllcoursesareheldSaturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at No. 1 Fire Hall, 1725 Broadway St., and include refreshments.

Early registration is recommended as seating is limited.

Participants must be at least 16 years old, and priority will be given to PoCo residents.

The sessions include handson components so comfortable clothing is recommended. More information about the courses is available at www.portcoquitlam.ca/ep.

To register, call 604-9275466.

The half-day EP training covers: • Personal Preparedness — Help yourself, your family, your co-workers and your neighbours in those first 72 hours and beyond.

• Basic Fire Suppression — Learn basic fire chemistry and classes of fire, how to use a fire extinguisher, and basic steps for fire response and intervention in the event of water, gas and electrical problems. Includes hands-on extinguisher training.

• Rapid Damage Assessment — Identify unsafe conditions in a singlefamily dwelling to help determine if your home is safe to occupy after an earthquake.

Information is provided as

general building/safety information.

• Light Urban Search and Rescue — If someone is

trapped in a home during a disaster, do you know how

to identify if and how you can help? Learn what to do.

Includes a hands-on component.

Adanacs rally in season opener

COQUITLAM OUTLASTS LAKERS IN GAME 1 SLUGFEST John KURUCZ

sports@thenownews.com The calendar hasn’t even hit May, though the temperature Sunday night seemed more like mid August.

The Coquitlam Adanacs kicked off their B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League campaign Sunday with a 14-11 win over the Burnaby Lakers, in a contest that featured close to 200 penalty minutes between the two clubs.

Down 4-3 after the first, the Adanacs then rallied around a hit-from-behind call four minutes into the second that resulted in four fighting majors assessed, and a total of 86 penalty minutes in the second period alone.

Outside of the extracurricular activity, Coquitlam rattled off eight goals in the period to regain the lead.

“I’m sure a lot of the Lakers players were excited to be playing in their first Junior A game and they’re trying to make a mark in the league — that’s fine and they’re entitled to that,” said Adanacs coach Neil Doddridge.

“But we’re not going to just let them walk in and set the table. We just reacted to the style

your

for sports scoop!

they were playing.”

The defending league champs entered the season opener without the vast majority of their projected roster, though a handful of new faces made immediate impressions.

Maple Ridge product Kyle Heiling tallied three points (two goals and an assist), while his fellow Burrard alumni Conner David made 19 saves on 26 shots.

Having missed all of last year due to injury, Thomas Moffat — who scored twice in his Junior A debut — also made an immediate impression on his new head coach.

“As he gets more into game shape, and up to the speed of Junior A lacrosse, he’s only going to get better,” Doddridge said. “A lot of players through intermediate, midget and Junior B kind of glide because they’ve always had the skills. But Junior A makes you play at a different speed.”

Outside of Heiling’s two-goal night, Coquitlam also got a pair each from Greg Batt, Trevor Chernoff and Spencer Stevens.

Johnathan Kraakman, Jordan Magnusson, Evan Wortley, and Erik Klein also tallied singles. Those new recruits will have to continue to supplement Coquitlam’s offence, given the absence of vets like Wesley Berg, Challen Rogers, Michael Messenger, Jordan Gillis and Tyler Pace due to university commitments.

Coquitlam takes on Delta tonight (Wednesday) at the Poirier Sports Centre.

CREATIVITY AND CHILDREN – IT’S A GREAT MIX –

Matthew from Glenayre Elementary puts the finishing touches on his Design an Ad artwork.

Participating Elementary Schools

Welcome to Design an Ad 2014. Each year The Tri-Cities NOW teams up with local businesses and organizations and ask grade four and five students to design newspaper ads for this special section. It’s one of our favourite community projects!

The students come up with their own advertising designs and ideas, and create an advertisement that can run in The Tri-Cities NOW. Every year, the students produce insightful, creative, thoughtful – and often humourous – advertisements that highlight the strengths of their subjects and often carry compelling messages.

The businesses and groups get to choose which student’s advertisement they

want to run in the section and our photographer visits the students while they are working on their ads. The ads and the students’ photos are put together by the team at The Tri-Cities NOW and another Design an Ad section is complete.

I would like to thank all of the students, teachers and participating advertisers who continue to make this annual project a real success! I hope you enjoy looking at the students’ ads and the photos of them working as much as we enjoy helping to make this section happen.

Catherine Ackerman Advertising Sales Manager
