Why not a PoCo stop? Chamber head says PoCo station doesn’t make sense; city’s mayor doesn’t agree By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Coquitlam doesn’t have the density to support an Evergreen Line station and PoCo commuters should focus their energies on getting improved West Coast Express service instead, says the chair of the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce. Quoting a Ministry of Transportation document called a “heat sheet,” Stephanie Booth said despite calls recently for a station in PoCo instead of near Douglas College, a terminus at the Evergreen GREG MOORE Cultural Centre makes the most sense for ridership and economics. “Fundamentally, it comes down to dollars and cents,” said Booth, quoting the document that says only 2,000 PoCo residents live within 10 minutes’ walking distance of a proposed PoCo Evergreen station on Kingsway Avenue compared to 10,000 who live within the same distance of a station across from Evergreen Cultural Centre, which will be the end of the line for the $1.4-billion project. Booth made the comments on the eve of a Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce luncheon on the subject of the future of transit in the region; Premier Gordon Campbell is scheduled to make a speech. According to Booth, PoCo residents will still get bus service to the Evergreen Line but will also benefit from improvements to West Coast Express. see EVERGREEN, G , page g 18 8

A Port Moody resident is asking the city for help to remove a large quantity of tar shingles that have washed up on the shores around Old Orchard Park. Malissa Smith, a fisheries science and management masters student at SFU, said the city needs to remove the shingles and find out if they are leaching chemicals into the Burrard Inlet. “It looks like they have been there for a couple of years,” she said. “A lot of debris like that get washed up on Burrard Inlet.”

Heavy rains, clogged culverts result in flooding By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A short, intense storm forced a number of Coquitlam residents from their basement suites in the early morning hours Sunday. Coquitlam firefighters were called to seven homes in the southwest region of the city to rescue residents from flooding. The first 911 call came in at 3 a.m., when
an elderly woman on Gauthier Avenue in Maillardville got stuck in more than a metre of water in her basement. The cause of the flooding was high water from a nearby culvert. Fire Chief Tony Delmonico said the department also responded to flooding calls on Blue Mountain Street and Como Lake, Rochester and Quadling avenues. Bill Susak, Coquitlam’s general manager of engineering, said city crews attended 25
to 30 flooding complaints, with more serious incidents pertaining to the drainage around Nelson Creek. Organic as well as household debris — including carpeting illegally dumped — blocked the culverts. “The intensity of the water discharge picked up items as it flowed downhill and jammed it into culverts,” Susak said, adding the pump stations were working. A geotechnical report is being completed;
it is unknown whether any fish were killed. The average rainfall for the month of September is 78 mm. In the 1970s; this past weekend, the storm brought about 50 mm of rain each day, Susak said. The Nelson Creek watershed is about 251 hectares and is bounded by Blue Mountain Street on the west, King Edward Street on the east, Regan Avenue on the north and the Fraser River on the south. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Mundy plan peters out By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam city council officially tossed plans Monday for an adventure play facility in Mundy Park. But while a forest adventure playground plan is out for the city park, staff at Metro Vancouver are considering the idea and other commercial enterprises at its regional parks — including Belcarra, Minnekhada and Colony Farm. Earlier this month, the Metro Vancouver parks committee, of which Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart is a member, directed staff to explore a range of revenue-generating services in all regional parks, including such operations as forest adventure playgrounds, water slides, dog wash stations and concession stands. If approved, the MV parks committee recommendation would go to the full Metro board later this month. Parks committee chair Gayle Martin, a Langley city councillor, told The Tri-City News the idea came after her son attended the forest adventure playground in Maple Ridge, which opened this summer and is operated by
IN QUOTES
“It was a bold proposal and I think we need to be bold sometimes.” Mayor Richard Stewart WildPlay Ltd. — the same company that offered a similar proposal for Mundy Park. In Maple Ridge, WildPlay is leasing about four hectares from the district for about $32,000 a year — four times what a campsite used to generate there. Martin immediately thought of Tynehead regional park in northeast Surrey, where, she said, there would be little public backlash (for Mundy, the city received a record number of comments, mostly in opposition). “We want to get more people in our parks. It would be a revenue generator,” she said, adding, “I can’t see [a forest playground] fitting into the three Tri-City parks but you never know. I suppose if we fit it in White Pine Beach, it could work.” The committee suggestions go well beyond the pay-per-use
amenities in Metro regional parks: Currently, Brae Island has a campground; Boundary Bay has a concession stand; Grant Narrows, in Pitt Meadows, has canoe rentals; and Colony Farm has bike rentals. And some of the $2 million per year Metro earns in its parks also comes from house rentals and movie shoots. On Monday, Coquitlam city council did not discuss the controversial proposal for Mundy Park before unanimously rejecting it. Still, at last week’s city parks committee meeting, Mayor Stewart encouraged staff to continue to be inventive with public-private partnerships ventures. “I don’t want this to stifle creativity,” he said. “I want staff to be able to bring ideas to us... It was a bold proposal and I think we need to be bold sometimes.” Stewart also acknowledged questions about the timing for the public consultation, during the summer months when many residents were away. “I was disappointed in the tone” of the feedback, he said. “There was no hidden agenda here.” jwarren@tricitynews.com – with files from Jeff Nagel, Black Press

PoCo fears temporary shelter wouldn’t be By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Coquitlam councillors unanimously rejected a proposal to have a temporary modular homeless shelter located in the city because they fear it could become permanent. The Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group has asked each of the Tri-City councils if they have land available for three converted shipping containers capable of housing up to 24 people. The proposal would also include a modular building used to administer programs and services. “We wish to express our support for the work of the Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group... however we did not find a suitable site within Port Coquitlam for the proposal,” said Coun. Michael Wright, who chairs the city’s social inclusion committee. Wright also noted that PoCo’s zoning bylaws do not allow shipping containers to be located outside of heavy industrial zones, which would further complicate the process. Federal funding for the cold/wet weather mat program is set to expire in April 2011 and construction of a permanent facility at 3030 Gordon Ave. in Coquitlam is still years away. The Tri-Cities Homelessness Task
Group said if something is not done in the interim to help the homeless, more people in the region will be sleeping outside. But PoCo councillors at Monday night’s meeting said housing and homelessness are provincial responsibilities. Coun. Brad West said allowing the temporary shelter to move forward may give the province time to delay or avoid funding a permanent facility. “If the province sees a way in which it can get out of providing funding for 3030 Gordon, I think it will jump at the opportunity,” said West, who is also constituency assistant to PoCo NDP MLA Mike Farnworth. “I think we would be letting the province off the hook.” Despite the fact Port Coquitlam and Port Moody have both rejected the Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group’s temporary shelter proposal, Sandy Burpee, the organization’s chair, is still optimistic the program will move forward. He said a report by Coquitlam planning staff outlining the shelter plan will come before that council next month and he believes councillors will support the proposal. “I am still optimistic,” he said. “This is the right thing to do.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Thousands raised in Run By Janis Warren
Fox Run photo spread: page 21
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A mayor lost his hair, a stone marker was dedicated and a national hero crossed the finish line Sunday for the 30th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run in the Tri-Cities. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart vowed to shave his head if his city’s inaugural event at Blue Mountain Park drew 600 participants; despite a turn-out that fell short of the target by 167 people, Stewart let his colleague Coun. Selina Robinson, his daughter and his wife lop off his locks. Coquitlam run organizer Donna Louie was also a good sport and went bald for the cause, which raised $16,000. In Port Moody, Mayor Joe Trasolini unveiled a stone marker that will be placed near the PoMo rec centre along Ioco Road, where Fox ran to train for his 1980 Marathon of Hope — a journey that has since raised more than $500 million for cancer research. PoMo run organizer Keith Vernon blamed the rain for the lower turnout of 219 registrants. “There weren’t as many strollers and families as

Still, the donation total of $5,700 was up over last year, he said. And at the Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam, the Man in Motion Rick Hansen cheered on the 1,000-plus participants who raised $44,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation. Hansen, a friend of Fox, also spoke about the need for cancer research. Meanwhile, the village of Anmore also held its first-ever Terry Fox Run, which saw runners and walkers on Sunnyside Road and circling Buntzen Lake. In B.C. and the Yukon,
there were 117 Terry Fox Runs Sunday, with participation up 40% and donations up 20% over last year, said Donna White, the foundation’s PoCo-based provincial director. Worldwide, the Terry Fox Run is the largest single-day fundraiser for cancer research. To donate online, visit terryfoxrun.org.

NOTICE OF 2010 TAX SALE
continued from front page
By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Non-profit and charitable groups wanting a break on their property taxes next year won’t get a sympathetic ear from Coquitlam city council. And councillors say they want to review the entire list of permissive property tax exemptions, saying residential and business taxpayers are shouldering too much of the burden. On Monday, council turned down applications from the Simon Fraser Society for Community Living and the Canadian Ski Patrol System of Greater Vancouver for new exemptions valued at $23,043. The society has 10 properties in Coquitlam, including a head office on Blue Mountain Street and nine group homes and supportive living units for people with developmental disabilities. Its exemption would have equalled $19,481 a year. The tax exclusion for the ski patrol’s property on Fawcett Road would have amounted to $3,562 annually. Property tax exemptions — typically given to places of worship — are expected to exceed $800,000 next year, money that Coquitlam taxpayers will have to make up when they are already strapped for cash, some councillors argued. The Simon Fraser Society made its application after council recently allowed exemptions for three group homes for people with developmental disabilities owned by another non-profit organization: the Community Living Society and Howe Sound Rehabilitation Society. The society also has offices in New Westminster, which has granted tax exemption to the group since 1955, as well as in Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. The latter two cities have yet to consider the exemption, society spokesperson Cathy Anthony told Coquitlam city council, noting 93% of the society’s revenue comes from government. Coun. Mae Reid said the city is about to start budget talks for 2011 and can’t afford anymore downloading from senior levels of government. “This is actually the province’s bailiwick,” she said. At last week’s town hall meeting, Reid said council heard that residents are leaving Coquitlam because of high taxes. And she pressed council to review its current exemption list. “People complain that they have been taxed to death,” Coun. Lou Sekora added. “We have hit the taxpayers as hard as we can. We have to hold the line.” Councillors Neal Nicholson and Selina Robinson wanted to give exemptions for the group and supportive homes while Coun. Linda Reimer wanted to allow property tax breaks only for group homes. As a result, all three councillors voted against Reid’s motion to reject all new exemptions for 2011. jwarren@tricitynews.com
The shingles were discovered on the weekend after Smith organized a local event at the park as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. More than 30 volunteers turned out with rubber gloves and garbage pickers in an effort that led to the removal of more than 100 lb. of garbage. Julie Pavey, the city’s manager of parks and environmental services, told The Tri-City News she was unaware of the shingles on the beach. “I don’t know what specific location or volume or anything about it but we can have someone take a look,” she said. “We tell [cleanup volunteers] that if they see anything of concern to contact the local authorities.” Pavey said she would contact Smith to find out more about the garbage and see what the city could do to clean it up. Thirty metres of one-inch PVC piping was also hauled off the beach by Smith and the volunteers, although the majority of garbage consisted of cigarette butts and juice box wrappers, she added. The group covered the ground between the private property mark on the west side of Old Orchard Park all the way to Noons Creek. While the city conducts regular cleanup efforts along its shoreline, Smith said she believes more people from the community need to take some time and pickup garbage. “People should practise a leaveno-trace ethic,” she said in an email. The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is held across the country between Sept. 18 and 26. Last year, more than 2,456 km of shoreline was cleaned nation-wide and more than 160,914 kg of litter was collected. For more information, go to www.shorelinecleanup.ca. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Vandalism down over summer at local schools Broken windows down 17% from last summer By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A spate of back-toschool vandalism took its toll in School District 43 and will cost $14,000 to repair but, overall, summer vandalism was down this year, according to spokesperson Cheryl Quinton. According to SD43 statistics, window breakage was down 17% from last year and a whopping 52% since 2007; and while graffiti continues to be a problem at local schools (up 43% from summer 2009 to ’10, from 39 to 56), the trend line is relatively flat for graffiti. Quinton crunched the summer vandalism numbers and found window breakage has been dropping since 2007. That summer, 216 windows were broken compared to 113 this summer, and the number of graffiti incidents was higher — 61 compared to 56 this past summer. But an incident of graffiti could be

Vandal Watch co-ordinator Tim Kelley. anything from a felt pen mark to an entire wall being covered in spray paint, so the extent of the damage is difficult to measure. Tim Kelley has also noticed the trend. “The numbers of glass and graffiti [damage] show it’s pretty obvious, it’s coming down,” said the co-ordinator of Vandal Watch, a communitybased vandalism prevention program that
works with SD43 and local neighbourhoods. He said it’s hard to find a reason for the downward trend but efforts to target-harden schools, including making school property more visible and putting metal blinds or plywood over doors and windows may be having an effect. But he noted it’s a fine balance to keep school facilities secure without making them look like

fortresses. “You don’t want them so locked down their unappealing to people,” he said, adding that SD43 seems to have found the right balance. Still, he said vandalism tends to be cyclical and programs like Vandal Watch are always needed. “Just like the fire department — you want them around in case there is an emergency.” Vandal Watch will continue to work with SD43 and the city of PoCo to make sure problems don’t re-emerge at facilities, especially at Halloween, spring break and the end of school, when buildings tend to be the focus of kids with extra energy and time on their hands. But the downward trend in vandalism is also good news to the cash-strapped school district, which typically spends about $200,000 a year on repairing vandalism damage. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

If K kids aren’t ready, district is SD43 ready to make some adjustments for full-day kindergarten next fall By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Tri-City parents worried their child won’t be ready for full-day kindergarten by next September — when it’s to be fully implemented in School District 43 — shouldn’t fret, says the official in charge of the new program. Teachers will make adjustments if a child can’t go full-time at first, said assistant superintendent Maureen Dockendorf, whose staff development department has spent the last year on plans for implementing full-day kindergarten. If a parent wants early dismissal for their child in the first few weeks or months next fall, that’s fine, Dockendorf said. “The challenge for us as educators is that some kids won’t be ready for the full-day kindergarten,” she told trustees during a presentation at the Sept. 14 board of education meeting. This year, the program was optional and 992 students at 23 schools are attending full-day kindergarten. Most experienced their first full day
last Wednesday, Dockendorf said, and schools are making changes to suit their youngest learners. For example, special measures are being used to ease children into the rituals of recess and lunch. “Every school has a plan and we’re making sure they are loved, cared for and supported, and that’s the way they will learn best,” Dockendorf said. In some schools, teachers are eating lunch with their students; in others, they are being paired with older “buddies;” and in some cases, they wear brightly coloured vests so they can be easily identified by playground supervisors. Although full-day kindergarten is being introduced across the province, kindergarten is not mandated by the government and remains an optional program, Dockendorf told trustees. Meanwhile, plans are underway for next September, when full-day kindergarten will be available for all fiveyear-olds. Trustees approved a bylaw to spend $450,211 on preliminary designs for 11 modular classrooms at nine sites. Although the money hasn’t yet been approved by the province, the district is fast-tracking the process so buildings are ready by next August. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Six years for spreading HIV Soccer coach convicted of sexual assault By Dan Ferguson BLACK PRESS
“There’s something you forgot to tell me,” the young woman told Surrey resident Adrien Sylver Nduwayo. “The HIV.” She was pregnant with his child and she had just discovered that Nduwayo had given her the virus that causes AIDS. “It’s none of your business,” Nduwayo replied.
CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Adrien Sylver Nduwayo was convicted of five counts of sexual assault. T he conversation was recounted by the B.C. Supreme Court judge who convicted Nduwayo on five counts of sexual assault for having unprotected sex with women without
warning them about his medical condition. The woman, one of seven who testified against Nduwayo, was 19 when they met. Thanks to the use of antiviral medications, her child was born without contracting HIV. She was among the seven women, four from Surrey and three from Port Coquitlam, who said Nduwayo not only refused to tell them he had the virus that can cause AIDS, but also insisted on having unprotected sex. A number of his former partners have become HIV-positive.
On Monday, Nduwayo was sentenced to a total of six more years in prison; he has been in jail since 2003. The sentence, if it isn’t appealed, would mark an end to a marathon legal battle that began after Nduwayo was arrested for a series of incidents that occurred between 1997 and 2003 in Sur rey, Delta, Langley, Burnaby and Port Coquitlam. In 2005, the then-36year-old Surrey resident was convicted by a B.C. Supreme Court jury in New Westminster and sentenced to 15 years in jail.
But a new trial was ordered after the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled the trial was unfair because the judge did not adequately caution the jury to consider each complaint separately and allowed evidence of previous alleged incidents that were not part of the trial. Nduwayo coached men’s and women’s soccer in Surrey and Port Coquitlam. Diagnosed with the virus in 1996, he claimed that he always used a condom, and therefore had no duty to inform his lovers.

Dry driving C
ash? Check. Keys? Check. Cellphone? Check. A safe ride home? Now more than ever, people heading out for a night on the town or a dinner engagement with friends will need to plan for transportation if they intend to imbibe. The government’s tougher drinking driving laws, which kicked in Monday, not only put the boots to drivers with blood alcohol readings over .08 but also take aim at those in the .05 to .08 range, who can lose their car for three days and face a $200 fine. Ouch. Yes, but these tougher laws are needed. Something has to be done to prevent the needless deaths of people like four-year old Alexa Middelaer, who was killed by a drunk driver in 2008. But are they enough? Will they work? And will they only affect the people who were likely to follow the old rules more than the scofflaws? Certainly, these rules will stop law-abiding citizens from having a second glass of wine at dinner. Many will just stay home to avoid the embarrassment of having their car impounded for blood-alcohol readings that are less than the legal limit. Who wants to take the chance? These individuals are likely to curtail their socializing rather than go out because taking the bus at night’s a hassle in the suburbs and cab fare is costly. More people staying at home is not necessarily a bad thing if it cuts down on needless deaths. But there are some who question whether these tougher laws will stop hard-core drunk drivers who have nothing to lose. These are the crazy people who already have multiple offences stacked up against them. Will there be enough police around to enforce these laws or will the deterrence effect be enough? B.C. Attorney General Mike De Jong will have to keep us in the loop as to whether these laws work. In the meantime, socializing over a drink is about to go the way of the dinosaur because the work involved in getting home makes dinner out the fun equivalent of a visit to the dentist.
Campbell’s HST vote is mission impossible BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA ven with a year to sell the harmonized sales tax to a disgruntled public, a wounded BC Liberal government looks to be going a bridge too far with its plan to put the tax to a referendum. Premier Gordon Campbell’s surprise decision to accept a simple majority vote in B.C.’s first-ever citizen initiative referendum makes it almost an impossible mission. Whatever the turnout, the notion that more than 50% of voters will take the trouble to tick a box in favour of paying more taxes simply defies logic and history. A recent Angus Reid public opinion poll painted a grim picture of the current mood. It found that 68% of people believed their personal budget was “moderately” or “severely”
E
affected by the introduction of the HST. Mind you, 76% of those respondents thought taxes on basic groceries had gone up, 63% thought their cellphone bills had gone up and 61% believed adult clothing costs were up. The HST affects none of those things. It’s the information age — nobody knows anything any more. Political polling numbers reflect the same misinformed anger. Every legally available government record has been scoured for evidence that Campbell and Finance Minister Colin Hansen secretly planned the HST before last year’s election. None has been found. Their post-election decision to grab for the HST transition fund in a crumbling economy was hasty and clumsy but on the actual evidence, it wasn’t a lie. Some readers continue to heap scorn on me for pointing this out. I wish they could have seen Bill Vander Zalm’s latest performance when he stomped out of the legislature com-

mittee meeting that chose the referendum route last week. Ranting for the TV cameras, Vander Zalm denounced the BC Liberal committee members as liars, too. What were their lies? one reporter asked. Vander Zalm could only sputter that Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer had said he supported going to referendum because it’s a democratic choice. As for the NDP, it’s now even clearer that Carol James and company are just posturing against the HST the way they did against the carbon tax. Their latest suggestion — that Campbell should go cap in hand to the federal government, asking it to bail out B.C. by reversing the HST and forgiving the $1.6-billion transition fund — is a childish fantasy. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston made another embarrassing admission last week. He and his colleagues collected signatures in support of Vander Zalm’s “HST Extinguishment Act” without giving much thought to its demand that the tax be scrapped and every person in B.C. be paid
back for their incremental sales tax costs. Ralston now admits it would be all but impossible to calculate, much less pay everyone’s refund. He suggested the refunds could be estimated for various income levels and Ottawa could be asked to pitch in for that, too. Sure, the feds can just print some more money and ship it out west. Reporters tried to pin Hansen down last week on the issue of paying HST refunds if the tax is abandoned. He stopped short of ruling it out entirely but after Campbell’s bold gamble to lower the bar for the referendum to 50%, it’s clear there can be no refunds, estimated or otherwise. To commit to refunds now would be to send a clear message to voters ahead of the referendum on Sept. 24, 2011: Get out and vote “No” to the HST and the B.C. government will send you a nice cheque.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS
VILLAGE OF BELCARRA “Between Forest and Sea”
Um, amalgamation? Tie trustees’
The Editor, Re. “Mundy Park plan dropped” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 15). It is incredible that Coquitlam city staff and council would even consider asking citizens whether they wanted ziplines and walkways to desecrate Mundy Park. The answer is really a no-brainer to anyone who lives in Coquitlam, a resounding NO, as evidenced by the outpouring of letters to local newspapers, including The TriCity News, responses to an online poll and mail-in questionnaire designed by the city, and the history of the park. All this raises wider issues: • Why are city staff and council wasting time and taxpayers’ money in going through all this agonizing over a question the answer to which should be obvious? A city administration that was in touch with electors should not even contemplate asking the question. • Are councillors so out of touch with their constituents that they were unable to predict the public’s view on this? • Has the issue been raised so that council can knock down a straw man by denying consideration of this proposition? After allowing residents to feel relieved, is council about to “discover” a wonderful new location, which they already have selected and which they hope will leave citizens so thankful that Mundy is not to be touched that they’ll accept the new location hook, line and sinker without
realizing what’s happening? The recent salary hike Port Coquitlam council gave itself has stirred some citizens to advocate consideration of amalgamating the TriCities. This is long overdue, although incumbents are often dismissive of the notion. A number of years ago, a group of well-qualified, widely experienced and concerned citizens from each of the cities formed a group called Tri-Cities Amalgamation Committee, or TRAC. Its objective was to get the Tri-Cities and the provincial governments to do a study of the feasibility and costs/ benefits of amalgamating the three cities. Provided the study showed positive benefits, the next step would have been to ask the province to conduct a referendum on the amalgamation of the Tri-Cities. Unfortunately, strong opposition by the smaller municipalities’ administrations was too close-minded to even consider doing the study. All this is a great shame as, for example, Abbotsford/Matsqui, Ottawa and Toronto have all amalgamated successfully. Perhaps it is time for another organization to be formed that will not be content to be browbeaten by big frogs in small puddles and get such strong public backing (as now seems possible) that amalgamation of the Tri-Cities can no longer be dismissed out of hand.

The Editor, Re. “Trustees want a pay review” (The TriCity News, Sept. 17). I have given this matter considerable thought, bearing in mind the fact these same trustees gave themselves a 9% increase earlier in the year, which in view of the present economic environment appears to be astronomical. They now have to come up with a way to pay themselves the additional $20,000. I don’t doubt the majority of School District 43 trustees are dedicated individuals but it should not be forgotten that the work they do for the district is primarily part-time work and that SD43 is the smallest of the three districts mentioned in the article (Vancouver, Surrey and Coquitlam). Coquitlam has the equivalent number of trustees as Vancouver and two more than Surrey in a district that is half the size. Bearing this in mind, they seem to be well paid. Trustees should receive adequate compensation and such compensation should be updated on an annual basis tied to the consumer price index (CPI), which is updated monthly by Statistics Canada. But there should be a caveat that in years when other SD43 employees do not receive an increase at least equivalent to the CPI (there have been a number of those in recent years) and the same should apply to trustees. The CPI for 2009 was 2.4%. Henry A. Pritchard, Coquitlam

Kwayhquitlum kids want to cheer
0%
By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Nearly two dozen girls who thought they would tumble, dance and cheer their way through middle school are disappointed after their club was left without a coach last week. Kwayhquitlum middle school lost its coach before the season had even begun because of a medical issue and now the club is looking for a new coach with level one or two certification. If no one steps forward, the club— the first for the middle school — will have to be disbanded. “The girls are really disappointed,” said parent Maria Hankey, whose daughter and a couple of friends trained all summer and put up posters for the new cheerleading club. Some 23 girls turned out for an introductory meeting at the school but had to be told the club is in limbo until a new coach can be found. “There were a few tears,” Hankey said. A teacher sponsor has been found for the club and the girls are set to fundraise for uniforms but no training can take place until a certified coach is in place, she said. But she said the girls are optimistic that a coach can be found to teach the sport that involves routines, tumbling, dance and cheers. It’s unusual for a middle school to have a cheerleading squad, most of which are at the high school level. But Hankey said she thought having one at middle school would give those interested an early introduction to the sport. She also noted cheer is available at gymnastics clubs but having it at the middle school makes it more accessible. “I’m sure we’ll find a coach, it’s just a matter of making the right connections,” Hankey said. • Those interested can email Hankey at hankey@ shaw.ca or call the school at 604-942-1835. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Early ticket payment means reduced fines By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
People who pay fines in a timely manner will get a bit of a break in Port Coquitlam. That is because the city instituting a two-level ticket system that would see stragglers pay a higher amount than those who deal with their fines within 30 days. The initiative is a way to encourage voluntary payment from those people who run afoul of city bylaws and has been successful in other jurisdictions, said a staff report. “Municipalities adopting this approach report a higher collection rate on tickets issued for standard bylaw offences and a reduction in the number of disputes for which the main purpose is delay of process,” said the report. Depending on the infraction, a person facing a fine could save as little as $15 or as much as $300 if they
pay their ticket within 30 days. A person parking in a restricted area, for example, would usually pay $40 to clear up their ticket; that cost would drop to $25 if the fine is dealt with quickly. Larger infractions, like storing flammable products in an underground parkade or impersonating a member of the fire department, could see reductions from $1,000 to $700, according to the city’s ticketing schedule. Vancouver and New Westminster have long had multi-level ticketing systems, which PoCo Coun. Darrell Penner said have been quite effective. “I believe this makes a lot of sense, particularly with parking tickets,” he told council during Monday night’s meeting. “Those are the ones that are the most disputed and I know first-hand that in New Westminster [this system] works.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Building boom underway in SD43 By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
After years of declining enrolment and school closures, School District 43 is on a building spree and getting ready to put shovels in the ground for several school replacements and new facilities. At a school board meeting Sept. 14, SD43’s secretary treasurer, Rick Humphreys, itemized a list of projects recently completed or scheduled to get underway. Among the completed projects are seismic repairs to Maillard middle, Riverview Park and Eagle Ridge elementary schools at a total cost of $9 million. The district is now working on plans for what Humphreys called the “largest capital envelope in the province.” On the list is a 250-student capacity replacement school for Port Coquitlam’s James Park elementary ($12.5 million), which will break ground in January and a
$20-million replacement school for Pitt River middle that is expected to break ground in April and will have space for 450 to 500 students and a neighbourhood learning centre. Construction for two new middle schools for Port Moody will also get underway in April. Humphreys said the plan is to start building the $23-million replacement school for Moody middle and the longawaited Heritage Woods middle school simultaneously. But there are siting issues with Heritage middle and so a $5-million contingency fund for the school has been added its $23-million funding envelope. Both schools will be built with the capacity for between 450 and 500 students. Work is also underway on a $7.5-million upgrade for Coquitlam’s Miller Park elementary, whose students are attending Vanier elementary this year, and
Ranch Park elementary will get $5.8 million in seismic repairs starting in December. At the Sept. 14 board of education meeting, trustees approved a bylaw to spend $450,211 on preliminary plann i n g fo r a d d i t i o n s t o A s p e n wo o d a n d Bramblewood elementary schools, which are already at capacity and need space for full-day kindergarten classes. Humphreys said the district is also crunching the numbers to see how soon schools will be needed on Burke Mountain in northeast Coquitlam. When the district looked at the numbers last year, construction had slowed but a flurry of building over the spring may have changed things, he said. “The build-out is coming,” Humphreys warned. “We need to push [the province] to get the money to purchase the property.” According to the district, three elementary schools, a middle school
and a secondary school are needed for Burke Mountain students but the province has only approved site acquisition for the secondary school. Many of the new homes — as many as 75% — are being built with secondary suites,
Preparing for the Future
according to SD43 assistant superintendent Dan Derpak, who told The Tri-City News that the district’s demographics consultant has been asked to take a second look at how many school-aged children will soon be living on Burke Mountain. ®

Wall rules Port Moody residents thinking of installing a landscaping wall may soon need to check with the city’s planning department. Efforts to clean up a building and plumbing code administration bylaw have led staff to suggest clarifications regarding landscaping and retaining walls. The new amendments will require a landscaping wall to be built on a 2-to-1 ratio, meaning the depth between walls must be twice as long as the vertical height of each wall. Retaining walls can be built at a steeper grade but require a permit and engineering approval. Council approved first three readings of the amendment at last week’s meeting. Other PoMo news:
TO MARKET
Coquitlam Farmers Market Society hoped to grow a new partnership with the city of Port Moody but that doesn’t appear likely after Tuesday’s council meeting. In July, the society’s Tabitha McLoughlin and Terri Evans suggested a collaborative partnership could include commitments from PoMo such as reduced fees (from $4,800 to $1,224 per season), paid advertisements and relaxed signage regulations. The city, they said, would benefit with opportunities to promote city programs such as rain barrels and composters by being an active partner in bringing farm and city folk together and gaining access to fresh local produce. Council opted to receive the staff report for information. spayne@tricitynews.com

But leaving PoCo out of the first phase of the line doesn’t sit well with Mayor Greg Moore. He said plenty of development is planned and the city is even prepared to donate land for a station. “We’ve never seen any justification for not coming to PoCo,” said Moore, who would like A value up to $130* to see a PoCo station included in the first leg of construction. He has proposed the idea of running the line up to Coquitlam Town Centre from the Coquitlam Central Station (at the Lougheed and Barnet highway transit hub), where it would pick up riders in the highdensity neighbourhood before looping down to Port Coquitlam, where density is planned. “In my opinion, they With a minimum $75 Lancôme haven’t given a good jusskincare purchase, receive a tification.

And two other sites could be used for a station — one on Kingsway near the Shaughnessy Street overpass, which is partly owned by the city, and another on the West Coast Express site, which is publicly owned and could support more density. Moore also disagreed that PoCo lacks density because one tower is being built and
three more are planned. Evergreen project manager Dave Duncan said the ministry is prepared to work with PoCo on its long-term plans for rapid transit and development but for now, density in that city doesn’t justify the $200-million costs for extending the line to PoCo. “ T h e r e ’s n o d e n sity anywhere in PoCo.

They’ll talk traffic in Coq. By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Areas in Coquitlam where drivers and pedestrians have the most trouble will be under the watch of a team of traffic experts. This week, council gave the green light to restart a committee made up of city staff, Mounties and ICBC and school district representatives who will promote the three E’s of traffic safety: engineering, education and enforcement. The Traf fic Safety Technical Working Group disbanded last year following a number of staff shortages from participating agencies. T he re-established team, chaired by Coquitlam’s traffic operations engineer Sean
O’Sullivan, comes as the city is undergoing a number of massive road work projects, causing snarlups and frustrating commuters — among them, at King Edward Street, Lougheed and Bar net highways, and Cape Horn interchange. Dan M o o n e y, Coquitlam’s manager of roads and traffic operations, said the group will meet every second month at the city works yard and will focus on “proactive initiatives” for road safety. Its work plan includes seasonal campaigns such as winter driving and back-toschool safety. As well, the group plans to host a half-day Traffic Safety Day on June 14, 2011, involving agencies such as, for example, Tri-Cities’ Speed

Watch, BC Trucking Association and Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. No specific budget is allocated for the committee’s activities. But one councillor dismissed the group, saying instead Coquitlam RCMP should concentrate more on enforcement than education. “All we’re creating is bureaucracy,” Coun. Lou Sekora said at last Monday’s engineering committee. Coun. Brent Asmundson, the committee chair, contended, however, that traffic officials need to be on the same page, noting, “It’s good to know what all the agencies are doing.” Coquitlam RCMP Sgt.
Dave Stewart said targeting accident zones — especially Lougheed Highway from Oxford Street to Ioco Road — is his traffic section’s main task. Last year, the detachment arrested 423 im p ai re d d r ive r s i n Coquitlam and issued 685 24-hour suspensions for drug- and alcohol-related driving offences. Responding to Sekora, Stewart said Coquitlam RC M P d o e s n’ t h ave enough police to “fish” for speeding tickets. “We have to go to collision hotspots,” he said. “If we go to a corner like Mariner Way, where there aren’t many collisions, we could hand out tickets like candy to children.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Promise and presidents A GOOD READ Martin Boughner
A
s a break from the rigours of watching the ebb and flow of Canadian politics, it can be useful to look to our southern neighbours. As the American mid-term elections approach, a good summary of Barack Obama’s presidency so far is Jonathan Alter’s The Promise, covering the first 18 months or so. Alter, a Chicago-based columnist for Newsweek, has been covering Obama since he was a state senator in Illinois, and the book is based on more than 200 interviews with White House insiders and others, including the president. Alter’s Obama is a moderate and a pragmatist, supremely confident in his ability to bring about necessary change and whose accomplishments have been clouded by the storm of vituperation his presidency has evoked. This is not, columnists like David Brooks argue, because of his race but because he is the ultimate Eastern Liberal Establishment figure — editor of the Harvard Law Review, remember — who has come to power just at a time when faith in government in America has hit a new low. Still, those accomplishments. Desperately needed health care reform. “Race for the Top,” addressing education reform, cleverly bribing states that agreed to accept rigourous standards for educational excellence. And a solid reassertion of civilian control over the military at a time when two unsuccessful wars required rethinking of goals and methods. Alter finds plenty of flaws in Obama’s performance. Most obviously and crucially, a man whose lyric writing and inspiring rhetoric during the 2008 presidential election campaign has not seemed to really find his voice as president, to rally support for his causes. And he really is an Establishment figure, choosing for his advisors and officers many of the same men who presided over the economic collapse. There is very little of the Chicago community organizer to be seen in President Obama. Nevertheless, the core of his presidency is his absolute goal of accomplishing some necessary reforms, even at the cost of being a one-term president. Perhaps like his hero, Abraham Lincoln, he
needs time to learn to be president; also, like his hero, he needs battlefield successes (or at least justification for honourable withdrawals). Speaking of Lincoln, a good way to get perspective on the present state of American politics is to read David Herbert Donald’s 1995 book Lincoln. Lincoln also assumed office in a period of huge political polarization, paranoia and hysteria, and needed to learn to be president and find his voice even though he had enormous rhetorical gifts. Donald takes us through the rise of Lincoln from a backwoods background to status as a respected lawyer and, finally, as a founder of the Republican Party and as its presidential candidate in 1860. His Lincoln is also a moderate and pragmatist, as well as a legendarily non-vindictive politician. Republicans of his creed thought that if slavery were restricted to the southern states and not allowed to expand as new states were added to the union, it would necessarily wither and die. Thus he resisted emancipation until it became politically necessary. Still, at the root of Lincoln’s political philosophy was not the constitution but the affirmation in the Declaration of Independence that all men were entitled to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” — and, always, preservation of the union. The era was that of the No-Nothings, as hysterical about Catholic immigration as many presentday Americans are about Latino immigration, Copperhead Democrats rooting for the South, an incredibly vituperative political culture, and of course, Civil War. In contrast, the Obama era seems almost tame. But it is useful to notice that the United States has been there before with even worse problems. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Martin Boughner works at Port Moody Public Library.

PoMo’s 13th arts fest mixes old & new By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Organizers of the 13th annual Port Moody Festival of the Arts are banking on plenty of good luck for the festivities running Sept. 24 to Oct. 3. This marks the second year that the popular festival will be held in the fall after more than a decade in the spring, and Jane Matthews, executive director of the Port Moody Arts Centre, said they learned a lot from last year’s inaugural autumn event. “It was a bit confusing to people and we had tried to market it as best we could... but this year we’ve increased our marketing presence and we’re utilizing some innovative marketing tools this year,” she said. One of those was the early bird discount, available until the end of August, that sold more than 70 tickets — a good sign given the summer timing, Matthews said. And while organizers picked up new strategies on how to spread the arts festival word, they’re also carrying forward last year’s mission to appeal to a wider audience. That means events for all ages, from kids to youth to adults, and interests, whether it’s visual or performing arts, comedy and music. The debut success of Art 4 Youth Day clinched it a spot in this year’s festival, where young people can enjoy art activities like paint-
ing their own skate deck or helping artist Kris Kupskay with a mural painting. There will also be live DJs and more at the PoMo Sk8 Park at Rocky Point Park on Sept. 25, from 1 to 5 p.m. “We’re also recognizing that the opening night event with high calibre, classy performers really appeals to our opening night supporters, so we’re thrilled to have Denzal Sinclaire b o o ke d t h i s ye a r, ” Matthews said. “I think he’s going to set the tone for what’s to come for the festival.” Sinclaire, a critically acclaimed jazz vocalist, has been compared to the likes of Nat King Cole but this Toronto native offers up a style all his own. The gala reception on Sept. 24 also features food from Hogan’s Restaurant. For those who caught rising indie star Dan Mangan’s performance last year — just before he became a household name — may want to check out Peter Katz on Oct. 1 at the Inlet Theatre. This singer/ songwriter blends folk, roots and pop music and, since he’s already won the CBC Galaxie R i s i n g S t a r Aw a rd and the grand prize at Toronto’s Indie Week, Katz is sure to hit it big soon. Other rookie events from 2009 that are returning in 2010 include theatre night, featuring Table 23’s Til Death

Highlights of the 13th annual Port Moody Festival of the Arts include cultural fusion night on Sept. 30, featuring the Kokoma African Heritage Dance and Drum Ensemble (top) and Lisa Shepard and the Maple Sugar Jiggers (right). At Art 4 U Day on Sept. 26, catch the group Chiba Taiko Japanese drummers. Do Us Part or Until You Get Fatt on Sept. 25. The original one-act play follows a young couple in a marriage counseling session in a heartwarming story not to be missed. Comedy night was another hit and this year will include Jane Stanton — voted Vancouver’s Funniest Female in 2006 — and Charlie Demers, who mixes both the intellectual and the silly in his schtick, on Oct. 2.
A longtime favourite, cultural night is back Sept. 30 with a fusion of African rhythms, care of the Kokoma African Heritage Dance and Drum Ensemble, and Métis culture with Lisa Shepard and the Maple Sugar Jiggers. “They’re two communities that have a presence here in the TriCities that haven’t been highlighted for some time,” Matthews said, and the fusion of two distinct groups offers a
new twist. This year’s festival will also close with a bang on Oct. 3 with Family Day, featuring the Caulfield School of Dance and that evening, New Orleans Ale Stars’ trademark blend of energetic jazz tunes. Matthews said the mix of time-tested favourites, which also includes Art 4 U Day on Sept. 26 and ongoing visual art exhibits, means the Port Moody Arts Festival will stay true to
its purpose — celebrating art in all its forms and for all audiences. “It’s nice to come back to the same sort of things, but we’ve also added in new elements to keep the interest and the energy moving forward,” she added. • The 13th annual Port Moody Festival of the Arts runs Sept. 24 to Oct. 3.

Artist Cam MacDonald’s exhibit Catch of the Day is at Place des Arts. cause in that case people could pick them up,” he said of the first time he exhibited the cans in 2007. “I wanted people to say, ‘Hey, what’s in this?’” MacDonald wanted viewers to be fooled, he added, to get them thinking about what we should and shouldn’t be eating. On a wider scale, the “Catch of the Day” exhibit aims to prompt discussion on issues like food security and over fishing — particularly in light of this season’s bumper return of salmon. “You would have to be blind or fooling yourself to believe almost every ecosystem in the world has not been severely depleted from what it once was,” he said. “It’s
wonderful that we got 30 million sockeye, but that doesn’t mean we can stop worrying about the salmon. Next year’s run could be zero for all we know.” It’s a subject that can easily veer into doom and gloom, which is why MacDonald says he intentionally uses humour in his art. And he’ll be drawing on the fun aspects of his work during Place des Arts’ Family Day on Sept. 26 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. T h e f re e eve n t f e at u re s MacDonald’s tour of Catch of the Day and a drawing workshop. Families can also draw selfportraits, create a live commercial and model clay. Visit www. placedesarts.ca for details.

As a 13-year-old kid Cam MacDonald landed the best summer job he could imagine — volunteering at the Vancouver Aquarium. What he couldn’t have known at the time is that his early foray into the marine world would, years later, become a driving force in his creative endeavors. “After I became an artist I didn’t have anything that I was particularly interested in painting or drawing, and then one day I had this funny notion, a kind of parody on this idea of canning an endangered species,” he recalled. “The idea was for deep sea fish, things that wouldn’t be very palatable or nutritious in this joke about the way we’re treating our natural resources.” He started with ink drawings of some of the ugliest fish he could find, the kind of bug-eyed, warty creatures that live in the dark, murky bottom of the ocean. The drawings were then scanned and recrafted using Photoshop to create realistic-looking food can labels, complete with nutrition information, bar codes, company and distributor names. In all MacDonald created 21 different “products” and labelled 1,700 cans of food, which were then stacked pyramid-style like at a regular grocery store. “I wanted them to be full be-

BOAZ JOSEPH/BLACK PRESS
Centennial Centaurs quarterback Bobby Pospischil eludes two Sands Scorpions’ defenders during a B.C. senior high school football exhibition game Saturday in North Delta. The Cents battled to a 12-9 victory.
Express edge Spruce Kings, split up north Zac Ashdown pumped in a pair of goals to spark the Coquitlam Express to a 4-3 triumph Saturday over the host Prince George Spruce Kings in a B.C. Hockey League Jr. ‘A’ affair. The win came on the heels of a 3-1 loss Friday for the Express to the Millionaires in Quesnel and brought their record to 2-1-1 heading into their home opener Friday versus
the Surrey Eagles at the Sports Centre, 7 p.m. Against the Spruce Kings, built leads of 2-0 and 3-1 before captain Garrick Perry snapped a 3-3 deadlock by netting the eventual winning marker 5:11 into the third period. Massimo Lamacchia also tallied for the Express, who got two assists from Destry Straight. Luke Her nande z was a
standout in net for Coquitlam, blocking 44 shots. In Quesnel, Mitchell Deacon’s goal midway through the second frame was all the offence the Express could muster in a two-goal defeat.
CATS TUMBLE IN OT
Port Moody Black Panthers battled back from a 3-1 deficit to knot the score 4-4, only to fall 5-4 in overtime to the
Grandview Steelers in a Pacific International Jr. ‘B’ hockey league battle. The Cats’ Cameron Patterson scored with 51 seconds left in regulation time to force extra time. Carson Spooner, Jackson Hewitt and Taylor Young also tallied for PoMo, who moved to 1-1-2 on the season. The Cats host the Abbotsford Pilots on Saturday at PoMo Arena, 7:45 p.m.
“The kids are learning to believe and buying into being part of a team.”
Ter ry Fox Ravens fumbled on their first possession Friday. After that, all that dropped were jaws on the New Westminster Hyacks. The Ravens scored on their next six possessions, built a gaping 42-0 halftime lead and sailed to a 49-0 triumph in a B.C. AAA senior high school football exhibition game between two of the province’s premier teams at Mercer Stadium. On Saturday, the Centennial Centaurs fought off the Sands Scorpions 12-9 in a defensive str ug gle in North Delta. The Ravens dominated in all aspects, racking up seven majors and 350 total yards while limiting the Hyacks to a meagre seven first downs and 92 yards. Fox also forced five New West turnovers, including four fumbles. The result also avenged the Ravens’ playoff loss last season to the Hyacks. “We gave it to them on offence and defence every play,” said Ravens o f f e n s iv e l i n e m a n Robert Reandy. “Our starters came out strong and we finished the game strong.” The first three Raven scores were rushing plays, cour tesy of Matteo Nardone (78 yards), Jared Soll (59) and Jacob Patko (25). Fox quarterback Cam Canales then connected on pair of aerial strikes, to Soll from 25
Tom Kudaba yards out and to Tanner White from five. Jordan Wicki’s 40-yard scamper then set up a one-yard plunge by Soll to cap the first-half scoring blitz. “The kids are learning to believe and buying into being part of a team,” said Fox co-coach Tom Kudaba. “I feel like they’re getting our message. They have the ability and they are really starting to believe.” Canales completed the scoring with a QB sneak in the second half after Ben Sharpe snagged a 39-yard reception. Nardone added an exclamation point to the Ravens’ over-powering offence by converting all seven Fox touchdowns. Tanner White rallied Fox’s dynamic defence with four solo tackles and two fumble recoveries. Wicki and John Harder each scooped u p f u m b l e s, wh i l e Guillaume Leroux had three tackles and a sack. Alex Agnoletto and Dallas Calendar both forced fumbles for Fox.

Baek bags junior golf title Oscar Baek of Coquitlam fired 73-38 to win both the overall and the Boys 14-16 division titles in style in the abbreviated Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour event last weekend at soggy Swan-e-set Bay Resort in Pitt Meadows. Heavy rain reduced the two-day tourney from 36 to 27 holes. “I feel great about winning here on my home course and I feel on top of the world,” said the 15-year-old Baek, who shot 73-38 to win by three strokes. Jun Kang, 14, of Port Moody shot
74-40 to place second. Henry Lee, 12, of Coquitlam captured the Boys 13-and-under crown after firing 77-39. Runner-up in the division was Roy Kang, 11, of North Vancouver at 82-38. A close race in the Girls open division saw Alix Kong, 14, of West Vancouver fire 78-37 to win by one stroke over Port Moody 16-year-old Valentina Trillo, who carded 78-38. “My good attitude was key [to winning]. I feel that my game came together successfully and I am happy,” Kong said.

For the 30th year in a row, Tri-City continues Terry’s run Thousands of Tri-City residents ventured out into at time torrential rains on Sunday morning to walk, run, cycle and skate in the region’s four Terry Fox Runs and mark the 30th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope.
It was the 30th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run on Sunday but it was a day of firsts, too, as both Anmore and Coquitlam hosted their first Terry Fox Runs to complement the Hometown Run in PoCo and the longrunning Port Moody event. At the Coquitlam Terry Fox Run, held at Blue Mountain Park, Roni Mcllveen of Port Coquitlam is embraced by her husband Brian after giving an emotional speech about battling cancer. Other photos from the local runs, clockwise from top right: Rain poured from the sky before the Hometown Run but participants splashed through puddles anyway, running, walking, cycling and even inline skating. In Anmore, at the village’s first ever run, Grace Bergman and her granddaughter Claire Bergman — dressed in style for the big event — did their part for the cause. In PoCo, the run MC was Bruce Moore, a cancer survivor and a former teacher of Terry Fox at PoCo high. That school was renamed for its most famous alumnus and its students were out in force Sunday cheering on run participants and handing out water. The Man in Motion, Rick Hansen, also took part in the run named for his late friend and started it off by wheeling with cancer survivor Caleb Macey. And everywhere, Tri-City residents taking part in the 30th anniversary Terry Fox Run sported blue ribbons as they ran or listened to speeches and, in the case of the PoCo event, music by the band Legal Limit (not to mention a stirring performance of “Never Give up on a Dream” by Brad Lovell).
