School District 43 could have as much as $2.5 million extra in the bank at the end of the school year and some of the money could be used to help www.newtrendoptical.ca students with special learning needs if plans go ahead to provide a summer clinic for psycho-educational assessments. The board was told at its meeting Tuesday a surplus of between 1% and 1.5% of the budget is likely at the end of the school year and district staff are considering the costs and benefits of providing a summer clinic to do assessments to cut waiting lists for services needed by students with learning disabilities. Plans aren’t finalized because school psychologists, whose numbers were cut last year, need to agree to work in the summer and some would rather see more staffing in the school year rather than just during the vacation, the board was told.

Christina Saremba, vice-president of the Burke Mountain Naturalists, was the project co-ordinator for the group’s Discover Nature in the Tri-Cities, a new guide for young explorers.
l and Jude Grass are well-known park supporters and longtime members of the Burke Mountain Naturalists in Coquitlam. When the couple raised their only child, Danny, he would often accompany them on trail hikes — “whether he liked it or not,” Jude said.
But as he grew older, Danny developed a strong appreciation for the outdoors and helped his parents as they led tours. After Danny died in 2003 at the age of 16 due to complications from heart surgery, Al and Jude Grass wanted to pay tribute to their son by producing an explorer’s guide for young people in the Tri-Cities.
School District 43 could have as much as $2.5 million extra in the bank at the end of the school year and some of the money could be used to help students with special learning needs if plans go ahead to provide a summer clinic for psycho-educational assessments.

Trustees will decide what to do with the surplus at a special board meeting Tuesday, June 9 at 6 p.m. at the board office.

PINECONE BURKE 20TH ANNIVERSARY
Many hands made Pinecone Burke a park – and there’s still work to do 20 years ago, the hard work of local naturalists came to fruition Gary McKenna

A group of proponents celebrate after Pinecone Burke Provincial Park was declared in 1995. Today, although the park is now 20 years old, many of the same supporters are waiting for a final park management plan for the 38,000-hectare site, which features kilometres of trails and old-growth forests.
This weekend’s guided hike will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the creation of Pinecone-Burke Provincial Park. It will take place on Sunday, June 7, at 8 a.m. and will follow the moderately difficult Woodland Walk Trail through the mature second-growth forest. The round-trip distance is 11.5 km with an elevation gain of 300 m and is expected to take five hours. The trail is not suitable for young children and hikers will be required to sign a waiver. There will also be shorter, one-hour hikes at 1:30 and 2:30 p.m. Participants must register by calling Ian at 604-939-4039. been achieved. The organization is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the proclamation of Pinecone Burke Provincial Park with a hike this weekend. The annual event has become so popular that organizers are strict about people registering in advance in order to not overwhelm the volunteers — and the trails.
‘MANY PEOPLE’
The idea for turning the vast forest north of Coquitlam into a provincial park was first championed by Mark
Haddock, one of the founding members of the Burke Mountain Naturalists. He said the idea came in a dream, and soon after, he enlisted the help of the group to begin campaigning to have the lands protected. Golds said the idea of turning Burke Mountain into a park had been floating around for a few years prior but Haddock was the first person to suggest pushing the boundaries all the way to Garibaldi, including Widgeon, the Boise Valley and other tracts of land.

people joined us on it,” added Golds. “One group alone can’t make a park. It takes many, many people.”
‘UNFINISHED WORK’ All that work was not finished once the park was proclaimed in 1995. One of the ironies of Pinecone Burke is that it took only three years to get the 38,000 hectares protected but more than two decades to get a finalized park management plan from BC Parks. Today, parking at the entry points to Pinecone Burke is inadequate and there are no bathrooms servicing the area. BMN members do their best to keep the trails maintained but Mounteney, Golds and Gillespie all agreed that without more funding, the trails will begin to grow over. “BC Parks has described it as a park in waiting,” said Mounteney. “They are waiting to do stuff because they haven’t got the funds.” But in the last year, there

have been several signs that a management plan could be coming soon, with BC Parks completing the initial terms of reference. The government website said the province is currently holding its initial public commenting period — but the deadline for submissions passed in November. The next step is putting forward a draft management plan for public review and comment before the final document can be approved. BC Parks is taking slow steps in the right direction, say the Naturalists, who said they will keep pushing for more to be done. “There’s a lot of satisfaction,” said Mounteney, “but there’s also a lot of anticipation of what will happen next. It feels like it is unfinished work.” “We don’t want to stop here,” added Gillespie. “The public wants more green spaces protected.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

THE BIG ANNUAL HIKE IS ON SUNDAY
The proposal was met with some opposition from the forestry industry, which was particularly interested in an area of old-growth trees deep inside the park. Had it been logged, the region would have lost a natural wonder, according to Gillespie. “It is absolutely magnificent,” he said. “On the trail, you can walk through and touch 600- to 700-year-old trees. It’s like a cathedral.” But the Burke Mountain Naturalists persevered, and soon, many residents and politicians were onboard with the proposal. The provincial government at the time was in the process of expanding the amount of forest land that was protected and Pinecone Burke was on the radar of then NDP MLA John Cashore. “Many stars aligned,” said David Mounteney, an organizer with the Friends of DeBoville Slough and a BMN member. “The fact is, a lot of other

nyone who has ever hiked into Pinecone Burke Provincial Park is familiar with Don Gillespie’s handiwork. The Burke Mountain Naturalists (BMN) member has been venturing into the far reaches of the area since before it was an official park, clearing trails and marking paths so that others could follow in his footsteps and enjoy the scenery. “We did as much as we could,” he said over coffee in Port Coquitlam. “We would just keep moving back and back. We started working up the Widgeon and all the way into the Boise Valley… I was up there for my 40th wedding anniversary.” Gillespie researched the logging routes and existing trails, adding new links that connected Coquitlam with trails that led all the way to Squamish and Garibaldi. Elaine Golds, another Burke Mountain Naturalist and another prominent Tri-City environmentalist, said Gillespie’s work was crucial in re-discovering many points of interest in the backcountry, noting “this was before Google Maps.” The additional trail connections also went a long way toward helping the group make the case for turning the 38,000 hectares of forest into a provincial park, an effort that came to fruition in 1995. “It was a wonderful time building trails to get people into the area to see the beauty,” said Ian McArthur, a BMN member who still gets out to maintain trails when he can. “There were a lot of people working for the same goal of having it become a park and we were successful.” “You need to get people into the area so they get to see it and love it,” added Golds. It is safe to say that the Burke Mountain Naturalists’ goal has

Guide tribute to late Danny Grass continued from front page
Next week, Discover Nature in the Tri-Cities will be publicly launched at the Port Coquitlam bank branch that made it happen. The booklet is the biggest endeavour ever for the Burke Mountain Naturalists, said vice-president Christina Saremba, who was the project co-ordinator. With a research team of 11 — plus the initial $5,000 seed grant from Wild Birds Unlimited and the new $5,000 donation from TD Friends of the Environment — Saremba started to get organized. BMN hired Dalyce Epp to edit the Grade 5 reading-level text and Chris Tunnoch to illustrate the flora and fauna at eight Tri-City green spaces that are easy to get to: Belcarra and Colony Farm regional parks, the Shoreline Trail in Port Moody, plus Mundy, Como Lake, Coquitlam River and Hyde Creek, and DeBoville Slough. The result is a 40-page colour booklet with an overview, maps and drawings of what can be found at the parks, along with a glossary, tips on how to explore properly (i.e., walk slow, stop often, get closer) and a checklist.

As well, she wants the guide to inspire other Lower Mainland naturalist groups to publish similar guides in their communities. Had Danny been alive today to see the guide, Jude Grass said, “He would’ve been thrilled. “Hopefully, this encourages children to join naturalist groups to take a lead in land stewardship, too.”
The team sent a draft to Eagle Mountain middle school in Anmore as well as to Mossom Creek Hatchery cofounder Ruth Foster and select families for feedback. “The focus was on making it friendly for children and for new residents to the Tri-Cities who wanted to find out more about what’s in their backyard,” Saremba said. Although only 1,500 copies were produced in the first run, she said online editions can downloaded from the Burke Mountain Naturalists’ website (bmn.bc.ca); as well, hard copies will be available at Tri-City libraries at a later date. Jude Grass said she hopes the guide will be used by School District 43 teachers to encourage their students to become familiar with outdoor surroundings — and get them

Assessments are ‘critical’: Shirra continued from front page
Nevertheless, the summer clinic was one idea for spending the extra funds, which have come from a variety of sources, including higherthan-expected international education student enrolment, lower utility costs, extra money from the province when spring enrolment was confirmed, and investment income. Setting aside some one-time funding to deal with the waiting list for psycho-ed. assessments appealed to board chair Judy Shirra. “Psych assessments, I feel, are critical to our students and our families. If they don’t have identification, [schools] are struggling on how to best serve some students,” said the Port Coquitlam trustee. Providing a summer clinic follows cuts made last spring to three school psychologist positions, which prompted an outcry from teachers who said waiting lists were growing because fewer tests could be done and more students were struggling without extra resources. But on Tuesday, student services manager Paul McNaughton said students are
still getting extra help at school even without psycho-ed. testing. Meanwhile, news of the surplus comes as a bit of a surprise to Coquitlam Teachers’ Association president Charley King, who said the money is the result of bad planning and shows the district didn’t need to make such deep cuts last year. “It’s money that has come at the expense of students this year,” King said. He also said he doesn’t want to see the district parcel out the money over three years, as staff are recommending. Instead, King wants the $2.5 million put into the classroom in September.

But board staff want the funds used to smooth out bumps in future budgets and to hire teachers to address classroom pressures that arise when students come to the district mid-year.

TRI-CITY CRIME
Charges for assault on bus in Coquitlam A New Westminster man is facing charges after an alleged sexual assault on a bus travelling along Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam. The Coquitlam incident occurred on May 19, when a suspect approached a 19-year-old woman on a bus and ran his hand up her thigh. When the victim elbowed the man, he showed her pornographic videos on his phone. The victim moved to a different seat before getting off the bus at Braid Station,
where she reported the incident. The suspect was taken into custody at the scene. According to Transit Police, officers recognized the suspect as matching a description of a suspect in a similar incident on May 2. In that case, the suspect approached a different 19-yearold woman at the Metrotown bus loop and rubbed his hand on her thigh. He also engaged in inappropriate conversation. The victim and another passenger reported
the incident to police. Jason Steven Taylor is facing two counts of sexual assault related two separate incidents and is currently on probation. He is known to police, who said in a press release that he has three previous convictions for sexual assault on the transit system. Taylor’s next court appearance is on June 10 in New Westminster, where he will appear by video conference. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
TRANS PLAN Port Moody is rolling out its transportation plan consultation with a name and a website. TransPort Moody offers numerous ways for residents to participate in information gathering on the city’s new master transportation plan. There will also be opportunities for people to stop by information booths at community events, such as Canada Day at Rocky Point Park on July 1. The city expects a lot of input into the plan as a 2014 Ipsos Reid survey found that 40% of PoMo residents named transportation as the most important issue facing the community.

Sprinkle regs now in effect in Metro
Lawn sprinkling restrictions are now in effect in Metro Vancouver. Lawns can be sprinkled from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. only on specified days. Those are Monday, Wednesday and Saturday for even-numbered residential addresses; and Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday for oddnumbered homes. Seasonal restrictions apply from June 1 to Sept. 30 and can be tightened if conditions warrant. Metro has banned evening lawn sprinkling since 2011. Per capita water use in the region has dropped 27% since 1993. Conservation is more important this year because of the record low snowpack in surrounding mountains, according to regional district officials. Other news:

Clinics may be used for more than day surgery

Overnight stays to create ‘private hospitals’: NDP Jeff Nagel Black Press
The province may let contracted private clinics keep patients overnight for as long as three days so they can take on more complex surgeries than the day procedures they’ve so far been permitted to perform. That possibility is mentioned in a health ministry discussion paper of potential surgical reforms that’s gone out for stakeholder comment. “Improved access to surgical services may include performing select surgical procedures which have length of stay up to three days, in private surgery centres using public funds,” the paper says, adding the change would require amending the Hospital Act. B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake announced an extra $10 million Monday to perform more day surgeries this summer — some through private clinics using public funds — in order to cut wait times. But NDP health critic Judy Darcy said letting private surgery clinics go beyond day surgery to multi-day stays would be tantamount to turning them into full-fledged “private hospitals.” Private surgery clinics so far perform barely 1% of government-funded procedures in B.C. when public operating rooms aren’t available. Longer patient stays would open the door to many more surgeries flowing to private facilities, Darcy said, adding critical staff may follow, further reduc-

Health Minister Terry Lake announced $10 million Monday to perform more day surgeries this summer — some at private clinics. ing capacity in public hospitals. “Health professionals are in short supply — anesthesiologists, specialty nurses — and if we drain them out of the public system into the private system we effectively become captive to private for-profit clinics,” Darcy said. She called the proposal a “game changer” that has been quietly advanced under the guise of a short-term “bandaid” to cut waits. “They ought to be doing the innovation and the strategic investment to use our public system to the maximum.” Fraser Health does not initially foresee hiring private clinics to supply the extra 500 surgeries it plans over the summer — it will open more of its own closed operating rooms. But the Vancouver Island and Vancouver Coastal health authorities have indicated they expect to make some extra use of private surgeons. Health Minister Terry Lake was unavailable for an interview. The ministry instead issued a statement defending extended private clinic stays as a successful method of handling more
hernia surgeries in Toronto. “This is just one option that is on the table for consideration,” it said. “Not all of these will be implemented.” The policy paper indicates the main reason that about one in six hospital operating rooms are closed at any time is lack of funding, while staff shortages and lack of demand are also responsible in some cases. The ministry says it’s working to increase training for specialist nurses and support recruitment and retention of key specialists, including anesthesiologists. Doctors of B.C. president Dr. Bill Cavers said health watchdogs are right to be wary of the potential to drain staff from the public system, but said the association believes some increased use of private surgery clinics “can be a good idea” as long as it’s publicly administered and funded, and quality and safety standards are upheld. He said he doesn’t foresee large numbers of clinics opening to the extent that they might cause problems for the public system.

Density and development
T
he news out of Coquitlam this week is that plans are in the works for more density in burquitlam and some residents are concerned about traffic and tower heights while others support the projects that provide some rental housing. arguably, both Port Moody and Coquitlam will be challenged over the next decade to respond to development demands around the Evergreen Line. Many current residents have grown up here with memories of small-town life when everyone knew their neighbours, schools were within walking distance and children could play all day in empty fields and forests. Soon, there will be as many or more people living in condos than single-family homes. That doesn’t have to be a bad thing if a concerted effort is made provide green space and parks, community centres and other lively spaces where people, including children and seniors, can safely connect and interact.

ou know that uneasy feeling you get in your gut when you realize you might be getting played? Well, May 20 could turn out to be one of those days for b.C. Worlds apart — literally and figuratively — it was a busy day on the LNG front. In vancouver, with incredible fanfare, a 220-word memorandum of understanding was signed between british Columbia and Pacific Northwest LNG. You’ve got to love this line from it: “Nothing in this Mou creates legal or financial obligations or liability on the Province or the Proponent.” Glad that’s cleared up. down under — 13,200 km away — at the australian Petroleum Production and Exploration association conference in Melbourne, the tone was more sombre, even a tad threatening, in a shakedown sense of that word. Roy Krzywosinski, managing director of Chevron australia, was speaking at the conference and laid out some pretty blunt views on the future of the LNG industry in that country. Krzywosinski reminded delegates that “there was a potential u.S. $100 billion waiting in the wings with the associated economic benefits if the next wave of investment could be attracted.” but — there’s always a but — australia could miss

out: “as many of us forewarned, the second wave of LNG investment for australia — which promised to deliver further benefits — is at serious risk of not happening, at least in the foreseeable future.” Ever so thoughtfully, he laid out some of the stumbling blocks standing in the way of australia securing that investment, which may or may not be the same u.S. $100 billion in investments that b.C. is trying to attract. Those obstacles included: too much government regulation, inflexible industrial relations systems, government policies that don’t support investment, high labour costs and — this is where b.C. really needs to sit up and take notice — high taxes. It was an interesting observation on his part because, 13,200 km away in vancouver, on the very same day (give or take the international dateline), the b.C. government said its deal with Pacific NorthWest LNG “is consistent with similar pacts in australia.” Effectively, the b.C. government has lowered its tax rates to be competitive with australia, even though that country’s LNG industry is complaining bitterly that tax rates there are too high, among a fairly long list of beefs they have with the australian government.
This doesn’t bode well for the b.C. government signing investment deals in the near future that are longer than 220 words. It also causes that uneasy feeling that we might be getting played. There are also those “high labour costs” in australia. Turns out Roy Krzywosinski is quite a chatty Chevron executive. In 2008, he spoke at the american Chamber of Commerce in australia business briefing breakfast on “The Consequences of Complexity: Energy and the Environment in the 21st Century.” one line jumps from the 33-pages of that speech: “Perhaps it is only just and proper that Chevron australia — as well as other energy companies in this region — has a multinational workforce.” That’s a nice way of saying “migrant workers.” It may also help explain why six years later, the b.C. government and China signed a memorandum of understanding to allow temporary foreign workers into the province to meet labour demand in the event a LNG project actually gets past a 220 word Mou. Just when you thought that promised prosperity fund was about to be snatched from the jaws of the LNG industry, a new twist or two emerges.

gestions, including: • Karen, who says an increase in support staff hours would allow her son to be in school for the entire day instead of him having to go home at lunch because there’s no support. • Christina, who suggests the money should pay for psycho-educational assessments for both her children who are on waiting lists. • Natalie, who would have the funds pay for support staff for recess, field trips, special events so no child would be left behind. • Shon, who would like a little of that money to be spent on a class set of iPads so his non-verbal son can have peers who are able to communicate the same way he does — and they could help him learn that his voice matters even if it comes through an AAC device.

Development falling far short The Editor, Re. “Burquitlam project one step away” (The Tri-City News, June 3). A letter to Coquitlam’s mayor and councillors: It is a complex world we live in — population growth, immigration waves, real estate bubbles, unemployment, housing shortages, job security, pollution, traffic, noise, economic cycles, energy supply, food shortages, financial crisis, organized crime, poverty, mental health, educational failure and so on. And It is clear that governments have a difficult job to do, a job that requires difficult trade-offs. The problem is that you appear to believe that some of these issues can be resolved by a set of architectural eyesores, a couple of basketball courts and the planting of apple trees. We can’t predict the weather a week from now and yet you make proclamations for “the common good” without consideration of the first principle of democratic governance: do no harm. The lack of humility that is being displayed by you before the citizens of Coquitlam stag-
gers me. Michael Baumann, Coquitlam
‘DEPRECIATING’
The Editor, Burquitlam has been ignored for decades from an investment standpoint. As the area transforms in the coming years, voices promoting investment in the region need to be stronger than ever. But uncertainty created by the prospect of redevelopment
is causing divestment in the area. Recently, our community learned about the closure of the medical clinic and lab in Burquitlam plaza. These facilities serve thousands of people in the area. I’ve heard the businesses could not agree on a long-term lease with the property owner, presumably because of looming redevelopment of Burquitlam Plaza. We’re also seeing play-
ground apparatus being removed from our local school in Oakdale and no prospect of replacement. I’ve always been in favour of development that leaves the area in better condition than it was found. Development in Burquitlam to date has a mixed record in this regard. But these latest occurrences have clearly had a depreciating impact on our community. Ben Craig, Coquitlam

Phoenix Squadron marks 50th anniversary Cadet group is about to branch off due to growth Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News
Spit-polished shoes and pressed shirts aren’t the only things impressive about 754 Phoenix Squadron Air Cadets. The Port Moody organization also celebrates its 50th anniversary this weekend. Started in 1965, Phoenix is a leadership and training program taught by Canadian Forces reservists who are members of the Cadet Instructors Cadre. Cadets learn to work in teams with students of different ages, and follow their interests, from public speaking to leadership to robotics and music to aviation, to name a few. True, discipline, physical fitness, hard work, good grooming and weekly drills are part of the deal. But the young cadets say the expectations laid down by the Canadian Forces teaches them about themselves. “It really pushes cadets to go beyond what they think they can do,” said Tina Lee, 18, a warrant officer second class. “It’s being part of a bigger community, not just being by yourself playing video games,” said Jared Chiu, 17, who holds

Above: Among the 754 Phoenix Squadron cadets are Cole Kennedy, Jared Chiu, Aditya Goshalia and Tina Lee. The group was activated in January 1965 as 754 Coquitlam Squadron when approximately 15 boys enlisted. The name was changed to 754 Phoenix Squadron when the group lost everything in the Port Moody high school fire of 1969. In 2003, 30 cadets split off to form Port Coquitlam 777 Neptune squadron and today, with 177 cadets and membership growing, the 50-year-old organization is about to split into a third Tri-Cities group.

Cole Kennedy, 15, is heading off this summer to a six-week advanced aviation technology course in aircraft maintenance in Ontario while FCpl. Aditya Goshalia,14, just won a regional public speaking contest.
Chiu, 17, earned his pilot’s licence last summer and can fly small, four-seater Cessna planes while Lee is off to lead a summer camp for cadets this summer.

Fraser Valley Berry seasons starting early JeFF nagel BLack Press
B.C. strawberry growers are enjoying a very early crop and blueberry farmers are about to join them. A mild winter and a warm, dry spring have been ideal for growing blueberries much sooner than usual, says Jason Smith, an Abbotsford blueberry farmer and chair of the B.C. Blueberry Council. “I’ve heard that some growers may start around the 15th of June in the eastern part of the Valley,” Smith said. He expects many blueberry farms will be producing by about June 20 to 25 — well ahead of the typical start of the season, between the end of
June and July 5. Smith said there’s some risk the season could end earlier than normal as well if the weather stays mostly dry. “If I could control the weather, I would love to see a good strong inch of rain now, a good strong inch of rain in one week and then good, warm, dry weather around 25 to 27 degrees.” Some strawberry farms began selling around May 18. Richmond strawberry farmer Bill Zylmans said he can’t remember his family ever harvesting this early since they started growing in 1952. “We didn’t have a winter, so the plants didn’t go dormant,” he said. jnagel@blackpress.ca @jeffnagel
LIQUID NATURAL GAS
Fraser LNG review weiGhed The B.C. government has asked to take over an environmental review of a proposed liquefied natural gas export terminal in Delta that would bring LNG tankers into the lower Fraser River. The National Energy Board has already granted WesPac Midstream LNG a licence to export 3.5 million tonnes of LNG a year by tanker and barge that would be supplied by the adjacent Fortis Tilbury LNG facility. Federal regulators with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency have set
a June 11 deadline for public comment on whether an assessment is warranted, and, if so, whether a provincial review should take the place of the federal process. Climate change activist Kevin Washbrook wants Ottawa to proceed with its own review and reject the provincial request. “Given the B.C. government’s clear bias in favour of LNG exports, handing this over to the province would be like putting the foxes in charge of the hen house,” he said.

A vision for the Riverview Hospital lands GREEN SCENE
ELAINE GOLDS
F
or the past 18 months BC Housing, under conditions set by the provincial government, has been a conducting a visioning process for the future of Riverview Hospital with members of the public invited to provide input. This process is about to wrap up with a final public meeting at the Executive Plaza Hotel on North Road in Coquitlam on June 10 at 7 p.m. This meeting will feature a panel discussion following opening remarks from BC Housing. Riverview had a justifiably proud record of providing innovative care for the mentally ill for almost a hundred years since its heritage West Lawn building opened in 1913. For reasons that were inexplicable to many, the provincial government, engaged in the downsizing of Riverview for many years, decided to completely shut down Riverview in 2012. Since that time, people have been calling for the return of mental health care to Riverview. There is little doubt we have a serious mental health care crisis in the Lower Mainland with such a lack of appropriate care facilities that hundreds of seriously ill people with addiction problems are living homeless on our streets and in our ravines. As the province has been downloading their responsibilities, taxpayer-generated funds that should be going into providing mental health care have now been diverted into policing and maintaining prisons. There is also a looming crisis in the number of care home beds available for the elderly, especially those suffering from dementia and related problems. Hospitals are over-loaded with so-called bed-blockers — frail people who would be far better served (at considerably less cost) by placement in such care homes. With babyboomers reaching retirement age, the need for such facilities is predicted to hugely increase. People who have attended BC Housing’s open houses to discuss the future of Riverview overwhelmingly support a restoration of mental health care services to Riverview. After the last round of open houses in September, people had an opportunity to indicate their preference for Riverview’s future by voting for preferred uses on BC Housing’s website, www. renewingriverview.com. Of those who participated, 96% supported a return of both acute and long term mental health care services to Riverview. In addition, almost 90% supported preservation
of the natural environment at Riverview including the protection of Riverview’s outstanding tree collection with an estimated value of $50 million. These almost two thousand mature trees, representative of temperate zones throughout the world, are thought to match or exceed in magnificence the trees at UBC’s Botanical Garden or the VanDusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver. Unfortunately, the province and BC Housing seem to be pushing an alternative vision for Riverview. The province has stipulated that any new development at Riverview must provide revenue to restore the site. But are hospitals expected to generate the funds needed to operate them? This requirement has attracted attention from developers who see Riverview as an ideal site for residential and commercial development. However, enthusiastic support for such development was lacking in the feedback provided by the public with only 51% supporting a mix of housing which included residences for the mentally ill. When commercial development was couched in low-key terms, such as providing an outdoor cafe and selling repair services, only 60% of the public was convinced to support such uses at Riverview. The city of Coquitlam has taken a wiser approach. Their study, conducted by Dr. John Higenbottam, calls for a campus of health care excellence at Riverview with complementary uses such as wellness or education training centres plus dedicated park space. Mental health care services at Riverview could be enhanced by providing a variety of ancillary heath care services as well as some educational training and cultural opportunities which could create a little daytime “vibe” on site. Certainly, Riverview would be an ideal site to offer some instruction in horticultural and landscaping. Riverview, listed by the Heritage Canada Foundation as one of Canada’s most endangered heritage sites in 2012, has a number of outstanding heritage buildings which could be repurposed for such uses. Riverview also has a number of more modern buildings dating from the 1950s (similar in age to many functioning hospitals in the Lower Mainland), which could offer a full range of mental health care services. The film industry uses the Riverview site, which provides some much-needed revenue. For example, the beautiful art deco Crease Clinic got a new roof with funds provided by the filming industry. The panel invited by BC Housing to speak on June 10 seems to be heavily weighted on the side of the real estate industry, with a former city planner from Vancouver and a professor from the Sauder School of Business at UBC. While two experts in mental health care will complete the
four-person panel, it clearly lacks an architect experienced in the restoration of heritage buildings and an arborist who could speak to the value of the trees and the huge challenges of building on a site with such a large collection of mature trees. Nonetheless, I encourage everyone with an interest in the future of Riverview to attend this panel discussion and provide their input. Elaine Golds is a Port Moody environmentalist who is conservation/education chair of the Burke Mountain Naturalists and member of the boards of the Colony Farm Park Association and the Port Moody Ecological Society.

COMMUNITY EVENT
PoCo school needs help to buy laptops for students Laptops used to support struggling youth with reading, writing
Pearse said the ceremony was delayed by the dispute between the provincial government and teachers, and it’s time to honour the kids and the mural artist, Todd Polich, who transformed the school’s cinder block exterior into a giant painting of forests, a sky and children playing.
For years, Birchland elementary school has been a leader in using technology to help students learn. Now, students, staff and parents are turning to the community to keep the dream alive. On June 13, the school is hosting a family fun fair with crafts, games, yoga classes, live music, food trucks and a chance to drive a brand new Ford vehicle to raise funds for technology. “This is a big push to get a pot of money for new laptops,” said Cicilia Joinson, a 10-year member of the school’s parent advisory council who wanted to leave a legacy now that her children are moving on. Dozens of businesses have come on board by donating items for the raffle, and there will be plenty of fun that day, she promised. The school is also hosting an official ceremony for a community mural that was painted last year. Principal Frank
“The community is coming together in support of the school and to protect the mural,” Pearse said, acknowledging that the mural has been damaged in recent weeks by vandals but will be repaired in time for the fun fair. The laptop replacement project will enable the school to continue to use software called SOLO 6 that it pioneered in partnership with Special Education Technology BC that supports students’ reading, studying and writing. Students using SOLO can play back what they wrote so they can hear mistakes, and the software also predicts words, helping students with grammar and correcting their spelling. • Birchland elementary is located at 1331 Fraser Ave., Port Coquitlam. The fun fair is a cash-only event.

DOUGLAS COLLEGE
Douglas celebrates 10 years of Uganda Project Douglas College is celebrating the 10th anniversary of a unique educational program that gives students the opportunity to gain practical experience helping vulnerable groups in east Africa. Since the Uganda Project launched in 2006, more than 70 students from the Faculty of Child, Family and Community Studies have taken part in the annual 10-week practicum placement program. To celebrate a decade of
the Uganda Project, organizers held an anniversary dinner in April hosted by John Halani, B.C.’s honorary consul for Uganda, and attended by students and faculty who have been involved with the program. A commemorative book has also been published. As part of this year’s program, 14 Douglas College students left for Uganda on April 29 to complete for-credit placements at schools, mental health settings, orphanages, a hospital
and other sites. Students from the Classroom and Community Support, Community Social Service Work, Co-occurring Disorders, Early Childhood Education, and Therapeutic Recreation programs will complete 10-week placements. New this year, a group of Psychiatric Nursing students, from the Faculty of Health Sciences, will complete four-week placements. For more information, visit douglascollege.ca.

North Burnaby’s Skyline
32-storey curved glass and concrete highrise is redefining the cityscape in North Burnaby’s Brentwood neighbourhood. Welcome to Aviara. Designed in an elongated shape that offers its most compelling feature – sweeping 360-degree views stretching from the Gulf Islands to the North Shore Mountains and Mount Baker – one walks into a lobby reminiscent of a five-star hotel. “The reason this tower is this interesting shape isn’t just because we wanted to create something beautiful,” says Manuela Mirecki, senior vice-president of marketing for Ledingham McAllister, adding Aviara is move-in ready. “It’s also for the benefit of people who will live here, as well as our neighbours. I know the word iconic is overused but Aviara will arguably set a new bar for high rises in North Burnaby.” Brought to you by the award-winning developer, Aviara is a collection of 239 one-bedroom-plus-den, two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-den designer condominiums ranging from 634 to 942 square feet. Retirees Alexander and Stephanie Blesch were sold as soon as they visited Aviara. Like many active seniors, they
decided to downsize to enjoy their retirement years without worrying about mowing lawns or looking after their large family home. “We love everything about it, from the shape of the tower to the large patio, to the two walls of windows in the living room and its location in North Burnaby,” says 77-year-old Alexander. “We purchased a two bedroom and den corner suite with incredible views.” As grandparents it was also important for them to stay in the neighbourhood. “We have two dogs so we can walk right outside out door and the park is right there,” adds Alexander, saying his wife loves the kitchen and soaker tub in the master ensuite. Homeowners and visitors alike are greeted by the prominent, world-class water wall drawing your eye to our ‘floating walkway’ welcoming you to the lobby. Every resident will have access to a number of amenities, including a fitness centre, dining lounge with fully equipped kitchen, fireplace and games table, spacious social lounge, meeting spaces and a private guest suite for out of town visitors. With reflecting ponds and beautifully manicured landscaping,
the garden terrace is perfect for outdoor entertaining. “Each homeowner will also receive a one year casual membership with Modo Car Co-op,” says Mirecki. “Aviara is in the heart of the vibrant Brentwood neighbourhood close to all sorts of amenities. There’s a wonderful diverse melting pot of young and old, retirees, young families, empty nesters and others who are attracted to the lifestyle Aviara can present.” In addition, Aviara is walking distance from Gilmore SkyTrain, shops, restaurants and Brentwood Town Centre. With more than 110 years of building landmark developments and 5,000 homes across British Columbia, you can rest assured you are buying from a builder renowned for outstanding quality, integrity and solid performance. Aviara has now opened the doors to its brand new in-building presentation centre and two designer display homes, located at 4189 Halifax Street in Burnaby.

MINOR LACROSSE
Wingrove tourney kicks off this week Event will feature teams from across Western Canada
The top minor lacrosse teams from across Western Canada will converge on the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex this weekend for the Trevor Wingrove Memorial Tournament. Twenty-six teams will attend the fourth annual event, which was formerly known as the Dogwood Tournament but renamed after the passing former Coqutilam lacrosse star Trevor Wingrove, who lost his battle with cancer, in 2010. The teams compete in three
divisions: ten in peewee (ages 11 and 12), eight in bantam (ages 13 and 14) and another eight in midget (ages 15 and 16). The championship finals will be held on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. for peewee, 2 p.m. for bantam and 3:30 p.m. for midget. The tournament has added two teams from last season. Most valuable player awards will go to a member of each team in all 54 games played. Winners will receive two tickets each to a Vancouver Stealth game in the professional National Lacrosse Association played at the Langley Events Centre. Many of the young ath-
letes in this tournament will be selected to Team BC teams that will represent B.C. in the Canadian National Championships later in the year. The tournament is regarded as a warm up for the top teams competing in the provincial championships in July. Wingrove was a former lacrosse player who played his entire career in an Adanacs jersey. He was also a senior manager with the city of Coquitlam. For a complete schedule and scores visit the tournament Web site www.trevorwingrove.com. All of the games are free. sports@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

Calling it quits after 7 seasons with Stealth
Coquitlam lacrosse goaltender Tyler Richards announced last week that he is retiring from the game after seven seasons with the National Lacrosse League’s Vancouver Stealth. The 28-year-old finished an impressive career in the league, which included three appearances in the Champions Cup finals, which included the club’s first ever banner. “I feel very blessed to play with so many great

players,” said the net minder. “Thank you to all who have been a part of my career, both as teammates, coaches or management. I’m looking forward to starting a new chapter.” Richards was drafted in the fourth round by the Stealth in 2007. His 33 regular season wins is second in franchise history and in 2014 he surpassed Rob Blasdell for most saves in franchise history (2,576). He’s also the franchise leader in playoff wins with eight and was named to the all-rookie team in 2009. see RICHARDS, page A34

Taylor receives NAIA recognition Port Coquitlam athlete and UBC Thunderbirds closer Curtis Taylor has been recognized as one of the top pitchers in the NAIA for the 2014-15 season. The second-year player has earned a place on the NAIA Baseball All-America Honourable Mention team, one of only 34 players to garner the recognition. This is the second straight year a UBC pitcher has earned All-America honourable mention recognition, after Conor Lillis-White took the award in 2014. It’s a great honour to follow in the footsteps of a player like Conor,” Taylor said in a press release. “The support of my teammates and coaching staff was invaluable and I’m very grateful for the recognition.” This season, Taylor (4-2) had a team-best earned-run average of 1.02 and was ranked fifth overall in the NAIA with 12 saves. He pitched 53 innings, giving up just 27 hits and six earned runs. Taylor struck out 51 batters and walked just 13. Opponents batted just .153

He was the lone relief pitcher named to the All-NAIA West team. “Curtis had a very dominating year on the mound,” said UBC head coach Terry McKaig. “He nailed down a lot of big wins for us by being such a versatile guy we could use in
different roles at the end of games.” In the NAIA West Grouping Championships, Taylor was spectacular, earning two wins and a save in three appearances over four days. In the second grouping championship game he threw four scoreless innings in relief to propel UBC to the league title.
