$148k for former SD treasurer By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Cash-strapped School District 43 paid its former secretary treasurer $148,495 in severance when he left his job last December after less than three and a half years at SD43, district records show. Rick Humphreys, who began working in Coquitlam School District on July 13, 2009, left his job Dec. 19, 2012, according to records obtained by The Tri-City News under a freedom of information request. Humphreys was en-
City of PoCo has a surplus. See page 17 titled to up to 14 months in severance for 41 months of service, according to B.C.’s Public Sector Employers Act (his annual salary, according to the latest financial records, was $147,955). But if he gets another public sector job, he won’t be eligible for the severance pay. see FORMER, page 4
Cougar attack was ‘defensive’ By Sarah Payne DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Daniel, Jordan and Kiarash, students in Nichole Van Sickle’s Grade 6 and 7 French Immersion class at Port Coquitlam’s Maple Creek middle school, show the “bank” of “franc” notes that they and their classmates earned and spent as part of an ongoing education on managing finances.
It’s not (just) about the money A teacher at Port Coquitlam’s Maple Creek middle school created an ‘economy’ in her Grade 6/7 classroom, with students earning ‘francs’ and spending them, too, which had some perhaps surprising — and educational — results. See story, page 3
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A Belcarra teen and his dog are breathing a sigh of relief after a runin with a cougar Tuesday evening. Levy Sadler, 16, was in his room when he heard a commotion outside in the back yard of his home, which fronts on to Sasamat Lake. When he looked out the window,
he saw a cougar attacking the family’s ninemonth-old puppy, Daisy. “It was like looking into death, it was so scary,” Sadler told CTV News. He jumped out the window and down to the yard and was screaming at the cougar to get off the dog but the cougar then turned on Sadler. see COUGAR, page 13

PoCo middle school kids get an education in finance – and life Some kids became ‘rich,’ all students learned
By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS
T
he hardest lessons are usually taught by the school of hard knocks. But in Nichole Van Sickle’s Grade 6 and 7 French Immersion class at Port Coquitlam’s Maple Creek middle school, students are learning some powerful lessons about how money is earned, the value of hard work, and the risk of debt — long before they get their first credit card. Inspired by reading Rafe Esquith’s book Teach LikeYour Hair’s On Fire,Van Sickle developed a classroom economy complete with jobs (pay varies depending on the work), a real estate market (desks serve as “homes,”with different values depending on location), and even a business sector and a legal and banking system. Did she know what she was getting into?“I was scared at first,”Van Sickle said. But as the months went on and the students began sharing their experiences, she said she found that they were getting more out of the daily “lesson”than even she bargained for. “When you give them real-life experiences in the classroom, they love it,”said Van Sickle during a recent classroom visit.
EARN & SPEND
Here’s how it works: Starting in September, Van Sickle’s students were paid by cheque in “francs”— it is a French Immersion class — and could buy classroom perks such as listening to their iPod during silent reading. But they also had to pay rent, factor in taxes (filling out a tax form

And top right, a student’s pay slip. with a T4 slip Van Sickle provided), fork out utilities for going to the bathroom and getting water from the school fountain. Twice during the year, they could spend their cash at an auction for things such as a DVD player and candy. But if students didn’t do their homework or meet classroom expectations, they had to pay fines, handed out by “police.” Meanwhile, the garbage collectors sorted recyclables, the bankers kept track of the money and small business owners rented or sold equipment, such as game controllers. It wasn’t long before a class system evolved that had Van Sickle marvelling at how the classroom economy mirrored the real world. One girl amassed enough property to practically live on the income from rents while another bought the teacher’s desk and now Van Sickle is paying her rent. There was even one boy who ended up “homeless.” “I just wanted to prepare them for the real

world,”Van Sickle said.
MONEY SMARTS
Financial literacy is becoming a hot topic, especially since the last recession, and the best lessons are those taught through experience and fun. According to a recent federal task force that consulted with individuals across the country, Canadians need more knowledge and confidence to make responsible financial decisions to help them meet their personal goals, enhance their quality of life and make Canada more competitive. Starting early in the
fined for not doing homework and other problems, and found himself sitting on the floor because he didn’t have any money to pay rent. “I was just hanging in there, I couldn’t wait until pay day,”he recalled. He went home that night and thought about his dilemma, and came up with the bright idea of bringing his guitar to school and busking for money. Some“rich kids” with cash to go along with their compassion paid him for his singing and he was able to rent his desk again. “I’m now extremely rich and I’ve stopped getting homework problems,”Jordan said.
classroom is one such way to impart financial literacy lessons to kids. There is a significant unit on financial planning in Planning 10, and issues such as the rule of compound interest are tackled in senior math courses. But these are“abstract” concepts that mean little to most students, according to SFU professor Peter Liljedahl, who addressed the issue via email from Europe. This is not the case in Van Sickle’s lively Grade 6/7 class, where Jordan learned the value of honesty, thrift and hard work. The Grade 6 student was
‘HOMELESS’
Other lessons were learned as well. Sean was down to his last 120 francs when he decided to blow it all on a lottery started by a couple of the other students. “I won $800 — the jackpot,”he said, although he cautioned others not to take the same risks with their money. For one thing, $200 had to be paid in taxes and for another,
thing, he said,“It’s not a good life lesson. “You have to have a better plan than spending the rest of your money on lottery tickets,”Sean said.“It’s like throwing it away.” For other students, saving money and buying real estate was the ticket to a comfortable life. Shannon ended up being the one of the richest students in the class. She cautioned against going into debt and the student banker didn’t use the credit cards that were freely available to students who applied for the Van Sickle card. “Don’t spend it all at once,”was Shannon’s advice.“You have to manage your money well.” Aside from the have’s and the have-not’s, a burgeoning middle and professional class developed as well. All students had the same opportunity to apply and interview for jobs with different levels of pay. But some entrepreneurial students started their own businesses on the side — advertised on the community board — and a legal system was started when
one boy represented another in a legal dispute. The case was lost but there were no hard feelings.“I charged him cheap because I felt bad,” said Ben. But the lessons weren’t all about the trickle down economy, the value of money and capitalism. Students were also encouraged to give to charity and get involved in their school community by helping out with school clubs. Van Sickle said she couldn’t be happier with the results of the economy project and is looking at some new wrinkles for the next school year, such as the establishment of an RRSP system and an enhanced legal system. Her advice for teachers who take on this project is to start out slow and see where the students take it. “Far from making students obsessed about money,”she said,“I’ve actually seen it result in them being more involved, more charitable and more serious about thinking towards the future.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Nominations will be accepted from the floor on the night of the meeting — next Wednesday — or they can be dropped off at the DPAC offices (1100B Winslow -CITY Coquitlam). IAve., TR Those who participate in the meeting will get the chance to elect for the position of vicepresident, secretary, treasurer, newsletter editor, I-CITY health and safety parent education co-ordinator, TR co-ordinator, PAC Tcommunications liaison and BALL S two member-at-large positions.

Trustees have also committed to hiring forensic auditors to go through the books this summer. One of the questions that has repeatedly been raised is when the district knew it was in financial difficulty and when it shared the information publicly. There were no financial updates at public board meetings from September through December 2012, although at the Dec. 11 meeting, the board approved its statement of financial information, which included a small surplus — $111,183 — after $774,369 from the previous year was factored in. In late December, board chair Melissa Hyndes confirmed to The Tri-City News that Humphreys resigned effective in January (she didn’t give a specific

date) and admitted the district was facing challenges. But she gave no hint about the extent of the problem. Th at i n f o r m at i o n wasn’t revealed publicly until the Jan. 15 board meeting, when superintendent Tom Grant told trustees the potential shortfall was $7.5 million, and the district was taking action in making $5 million in non-staff cuts. No blame has been attributed to staff during the discussions about the district budget but both Hyndes and Grant have apologized and admitted responsibility for problems leading to the budget deficit and attributed the shortfall to an over-estimation of revenue and underestimation of costs. The search for a new secretary treasurer continues. Efforts to find a replacement for Humphreys were stalled during the budget process after the district failed to find an appropriate candidate. The board is expected to decide at an upcoming board meeting when to renew its search.
BASK
The records show Humphreys was hired July 13, 2009 for a oneyear term — effectively a probation period — and his contract was then extended to July 12, 2014. He was allowed expenses for professional development and, according to the district’s statement of financial information, spent $7,634 in 2011/’12. He was also entitled to a $540 transportation allowance during his employment, 18 days sick leave per year and 15 days vacation. According to SD43, Humphreys resigned for personal reasons related to his health. An explanation of Humphreys’ departure was sent out to staff on Dec. 21, 2012. (He last attended a public board of education meeting on Nov. 20, 2012.) The information was revealed as SD43 reviews the flawed budgeting process that led to a $13-million deficit this year that will be partly offset by $5 million in non-staff cuts. The remaining $8 million (the final amount won’t be known until the end
of June) will be paid back in instalments beginning in 2014/’15.

Mixed reaction, more work on PoMo OCP Town hall meetings are planned for June 8 and 18 By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
Feedback on Port Moody’s draft official community plan shows the public is somewhat split on the proposal. At Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting, PoMo planning staff presented council with a hefty package containing the draft OCP, along with about 700 pages of public engagement results. About 250 feedback forms were received during the three-week period in April and May when the online survey was active on the city’s website. The forms asked residents to show, on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being “Don’t Like” and 5 being “Like”), their thoughts on the proposal for each of the seven sub-areas in the OCP (see box for details). Consistent concerns throughout the survey focused on increased traffic, the need for more parks and open space, pedestrian and cyclist use, impacts on view corridors and, in some areas, a desire for lower building heights and density. “Densification planning must not compromise Port Moody’s livability,” wrote one resident. “Don’t densify... without specifically planning for land to be designated for parks, rec and open space.” “I support highrise densification on the eastern and western ends of Port Moody,” wrote another resident. “If we densify Moody Centre... it will become a tunnel of darkness because of geography.” Another resident praised the plan, saying the OCP update reflected a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop a modern Port Moody for the next generation of Port Moody residents.” Council members thanked staff for their hard work and said the would enjoyed reading through each page of the hefty package to gauge public reaction to the OCP draft. Coun. Rick Glumac kicked off discussion on the Coronation Park
neighbourhood, where the draft OCP suggests buildings of three to 30 storeys, saying residents spoke out loudly against such a proposal. “There are concerns about having walls of buildings, and we don’t want to see that in Port Moody,” Glumac said before making a motion to limit building heights to four storeys until a neighbourhood area plan could be completed. Several council members agreed that 30 storeys might be too high for that area, given residents’ concerns, but cautioned against deciding on building heights before hearing more from the public at town hall meetings scheduled for June. “I’d rather hear from the public and come back in the fall, and make it de-
finitive then,” said Coun. Diana Dilworth, adding the feedback received so far represents only about 1% of PoMo’s population. Council later agreed to present the public with neighbourhood options showing low-rise, midrise and mixed building forms. The public will be able to offer additional feedback next month at town hall meetings on June 8 and 18. It’s expected staff will then incorporate the additional feedback and bring the draft OCP back for council review in the fall, when additional public input opportunities will be scheduled. Residents can also offer their thoughts on the draft plan at any time by emailing ocp@portmoody.ca. spayne@tricitynews.com

Making Parc Mackin modern COUNCIL
MEETINGS
Spray, skateboard parks among the park additions
When: Tuesday, May 28, 2013
By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NewS
At the top end of Coquitlam’s Mackin Park — the heart of the French-Canadian enclave of Maillardville, where the city was born more than 100 years ago — the view is barely recognizable. Mackin Yard, where Coquitlam Little League plays ball, is still there but the old wading pool and tennis wall are gone. And the 3.2 acres facing Brunette Avenue that were once under-used are now bustling with families at the new skateboard ramps, spray park and playground — many of them enjoying picnics on the surrounding green lawns. The revamp has been several years in the making and allowed Maillardville residents — some new to the gentrifying community, others longtime homeowners with pioneering relatives — to have a say in the redevelopment of the oldest civic park in Coquitlam. Today, after more than a year of construction, the city will officially reopen Mackin Park with an afternoon and evening party. Kevan Cornes, Coquitlam’s manager of facilities, operations and construction in the parks department, said the city is getting rave reviews about the renovation, the architecture for which was done by Van der Zalm and Associates. “I think they did a great job,” said Al Boire, executive director of the Place Maillardville community centre, who is on the city’s Maillardville Commercial and Cultural Advisory Committee. “The city incorporated most of the objectives from the consultations and gave the park a fresh, new look.” When it came to renew the north end of the park, Cornes said the city was forced to upgrade all the servicing connections (mostly electrical), which increased the original $2.2-million budget to $2.6 million. As well, in 2011, the city had to go back to the drawing board after Metro Vancouver said it needed access to its utility rights of way that run west to east in the north end. The regional district said it didn’t want concrete poured or trees or fill covering the rights of way in case it needed to get to its water and sewer lines. As a result,“we were really restricted with what we could do here,” Cornes said during a tour on Wednesday. see DCCS, FEDS, page 9

From Neighbours to Friends
file #13-009-TC Tri-City News 2013-May-24 2 col x 6”
Coquitlam residents are invited to meet their neighbours and share their stories through a fun art project, in celebration of our diversity. Using the medium of collage on pre-made wooden birdhouses, Artist Blake Williams will show participants how to tell stories through images, words and objects, using birdhouses as a metaphor for migration, and finding and making a home. No artistic talent is required! Materials will be available at the workshop, however we encourage you to bring pictures or small items that are of significance to you that can be used on your birdhouse to tell your personal story. COST: FREE, registration required Dates, times and registration information can be found at coquitlam.ca/welcomeproject For more Information contact Robyn or Cathy at 604-927-3411 or rgnewton@coquitlam.ca

Coquitlam adopted Pesticide Use Control Bylaw No. 4254 on April 23rd, 2012. This means many pesticides can no longer be used for lawn and garden beautification and maintenance on residential and City land, even if they are legally allowed for sale. Common active ingredients in most conventional pesticides, such as 2,4-D, Mecoprop, Dicamba, Glyphosate, Carbaryl and Malathion are now restricted under the Bylaw. Please see coquitlam.ca/pesticides for more details and a list of permitted pesticides.

DCCs, feds pay for park works continued from page 8
Funded by city development cost charges (DCCs), infrastructure cash and a $250,000 grant from the federal government, construction for Phase 1 started last February with the plaza-style skateboard ramps and spray park; the second phase centred on the washrooms, the plaza and a playground for six- to 12-year-olds. But what makes the park upgrade special are the French flairs: The washroom facilities are in a concrete tilt-up with stone work and dormers to resemble a French cottage; there is a Frenchstyle garden and an outlook where a few wed-
ding photos have been snapped recently as well as wrought-iron fences and old-fashioned lamp standards; and fleur de lis symbols are incorporated underfoot. As well, stamped in the plaza stones are the words: “Bienvenue a Parc Mackin.” The spray park also has removable pieces that can be interchanged with components at the new Galloway spray park on Burke Mountain. If taken out, the Mackin spray park can convert into a staging area for performances. Fully accessible, the park “is built to be a gathering place for all ages and abilities,” Cornes said. “And I
think it’s something that Coquitlam can be proud of.” • The re-opening of Mackin Park (1046 Brunette Ave.) is Friday from 2 to 8 p.m. and includes free entertainment plus food and activities. jwarren@tricitynews.com

MACKIN PARK HISTORY
Child Care Centre
Once a green space where cows grazed, the south part of Mackin Park was used in the 1930s by the Circle F baseball team, which was made up of Fraser Mills workers and their families. In September 1942, Henry James Mackin, Fraser Mills’ manager, donated the field on behalf of the Canadian Western Lumber Co. to the district of Coquitlam for a civic park; he attached donation for its development and, thus, the park carries his name.

■ WHAT WE THINK:
A
city council post is often a stepping stone to higher office so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to see several new MLAs hailing from local governments. So why has there been no serious effort by the province to deal with the inevitable and expensive fallout? Currently, at least eight civic politicians are scrambling to figure out what to do after being elected provincially last week and B.C.’s Local Government Act isn’t much help. The choice is either a costly byelection or the newly minted MLA can go full-martyr and do both jobs (at least until January). But let’s face it, doing both jobs is an impractical option. One job will get less attention and that will likely be the civic post, where there are no party obligations or party whips requiring appearances. Councillors such as Coquitlam’s Linda Reimer, the MLA-elect for Port Moody-Coquitlam, will do their best to make a good decision to serve constituents but it’s obvious that there needs to be more sensible rules governing this eventuality.

Politicians, princesses and election choice AS I SEE IT Ron McKinnon If you don’t like the politicians who run, maybe you should try running yourself
A
nother provincial election has come and gone and, again, with disappointingly low voter turnout. People have their own perspectives, of course, on why they don’t vote. There are some good reasons but mostly not. There’s the easy cop-out about“It’s just one vote and it doesn’t really matter”but whose vote counts more? Then there’s the lazy, complacent “They’re all the same, so what’s the point?” which is generally just code for “I can’t be bothered to pay attention.”
But the grand prize goes to the one about “not having any real choice”or“I don’t like any of them, so until there’s a none-of-theabove option, I’m staying home.”(This often leads to the equally inane“Just spoil your ballot!”) This is entitlement talking, the plaintive whine of the privileged princess, and one wonders just who it is imagined will receive this message and do… what, exactly? Well, “the politicians,”of course! But“the politicians”are already out there, running for office or working on campaigns, and between elections working in the ridings to keep the lights on.

“It’s not up to ‘the politicians’ or anyone else to ensure that you have a choice that you like. It’s only up to them to offer a choice that they like, and they’re already doing that.” Ron McKinnon ready doing that. The none-of-the-above crowd also proposes that if its option“won,”it should trigger a new election with“all-of-the-above” prohibited from running. Here we see the princess in grand, imperious form, with an airy wave signalling her courtiers to bring forth a fresh assortment that she might deign choose. Kudos, rather, for whomever did run.
Standing for public office is important, worthwhile and hard, and should be respected for that at the very least, not disdainfully cast aside simply because some voters didn’t like the menu. Let those voters step up next time and take their own lumps. It’s not for everyone, perhaps, but, strictly speaking, any voter (with very few exceptions) can stand for office. And you don’t have to bear the banner of a mainstream party to do so; you can run as an independent or under one of the numerous, small, kiosk parties — and then you can offer any varied viewpoint your heart desires. So, next election, please, the responsibility is yours: If you don’t like the choices, it’s up to you to either improve upon them or make the best of what’s there. Either way, give it your best shot and vote. Ron McKinnon is a Port Coquitlam resident and president of the Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam Federal Liberal Association.

y young, tea party colleague over there called me a “fuddy duddy”when I suggested we should do something about election sign carpet-bombing. Well, if he thinks that’s old fashioned, I wonder what my happening millennial colleague will think this week when I tell him that digital communication hinders rather than enhances real communication. “OMG, you’re so 10 years ago,” texts my colleague between tweets. Yes, call me a techno Luddite (just Google it) but I think human communication moves backwards as social media moves forward. Social media, Facebook, texting, tweeting and other digital “communication”bombard us. As widens our contact list, so narrows real communication. But contact isn’t communication. Communication involves more than just ubiquitous, staccato messages written in some digital Esperanto. Real communication involves personal contact, body language, empathy, smiling, helping, give and take, and thinking it over for a while. It takes time. But who has time for any of that nonsense with our faces frozen on a screen, thumbs moving a hundred miles an hour? And that’s the tragedy of the virtual world: Its speed and power can over-

BlockbusterVideo. Although writing was logistically complicated — envelopes, stamps, postal delivery — the mere act of investing the time and effort to write a personal letter communicated in itself a level of personal respect. Smartphone appendages consume us as we share glib trivia with the world.Those 140 characters may be pithy or poignant but there is little personal commitment, evidence or even truth required. It’s not communication, it’s a look-at-me cacophony. In short, we can tweet, sweet, tweet, and we usually do. I worry that we are becoming less capable of face-to-face communication; that our virtual world will soon see real human communication go the way of cursive handwriting and, tragically, BlockbusterVideo. The sheer volume of digital messaging makes any real communication impossible.The digital stimuli we deal with increases exponentially, demanding quicker and shallower responses, making real communication less and less likely. But my unquestioning, LinkedIn colleague thinks faster, quicker and shallower is better. To which I say, LOL.

Under her auspices, the library has operated within the budgets agreed to by the library board, circulation (usage) has increased and a significant new library has been built.

Cougar not found yet continued from front page
It took a swipe at the teen but missed Sadler, who quickly backtracked back into his room and closed the window. The cougar left, leaving behind Daisy with puncture wounds to her head, behind her ear and scratches on her back. Conservation officer Cody Ambrose said it looks like the cougar was hunting along the shoreline when the dog confronted it. “We believe it was a defensive attack,” Ambrose said. “If it was a predatory attack, the dog would be dead, so I think this is just a case where a cougar and a dog had a confrontation.” Ambrose said the Tri-Cities’ location on a mountainside means cougar sightings do happen. “If there’s a food source, cougars will come into the area,”he said. People who encounter a cougar should make themselves as big as they can by raising their hands and even baring their teeth, he added. “You want to send the message that you’re not prey, and if you do get into a confrontation with a cougar, do not run.” Conservation officers had four dogs out Wednesday morning searching for the cougar but they weren’t able to find a strong enough scent. Officers are advising people to be particularly careful in the Sasamat Lake area by keeping dogs on a leash, hiking in pairs or groups, and being “very aware”of the surroundings when out on the trails. • Anyone who spots a cougar is asked to call the 24/7 Conservation Officer Service line immediately at 1-877-952-7277. spayne@tricitynews.com

Welcoming art at CPL The artist who last year unveiled five mosaics in Port Moody as part of a Metro Vancouver public art project is now developing a major piece for Coquitlam Public Library. Blake Williams was picked out of 36 artists to create “The Welcome Project,” a community-inclusive work funded by the city ($10,000) and an Embrace BC Arts Engagement grant ($35,000). Starting this week, Williams began a series of workshops at civic centres and schools to formulate his theme of “migration” using collage techniques on bird houses; Williams will use participants’ stories about multiculturalism and their journey to Coquitlam that are attached to the pre-made wooden boxes. The concept is expected to be presented to city council in July, with the artwork ready by late fall. Besides the “Port Moody Illuminations” mosaics, Williams has been commissioned to work on other large-scale public pieces in Surrey (“All Intertwining”), Red Deer (“RISE”) and Calgary (“Body Mind Spirit”). jwarren@tricitynews.com

A deadly car crash last month on Lougheed Highway has resulted in Coquitlam city staff launching a study to improve road safety in the area of Riverview Hospital. The head-on collision that killed one driver and injured others closed off Lougheed at Pitt River Road for hours on the af-
ternoon of April 16. Last week, Coquitlam’s council-in-committee heard that engineers will look at Lougheed between Orchid Drive and Colony Farm Road, which has been a municipal corridor for 14 years and has been the subject of numerous reports in the past. That stretch of road sees one of the highest traffic volumes in the city and “tends to have some of the fastest vehicular speeds and most catastrophic crashes,” wrote Bill Susak, Coquitlam’s

Multiple charges for multiple suspects By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News
Two alleged prolific offenders are facing a number of criminal charges related to a string of break-ins. Christopher Fogale, a 3 2 - ye a r- o l d Po r t Coquitlam resident, is charged with one count each of possession of a break-in instrument, a controlled substance and stolen property, as well as prowling at night and theft. Fellow PoCo resident Michael Watkins, 30, is facing 16 break-andenter charges as well as possession of break-in instruments and stolen property. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said the two had allegedly been breaking into houses, cars and even storage lockers.
Fogale was being held in custody until his next court appearance yesterday while Watkins was released on bail with conditions he abide by a curfew; he’s back in court May 30. Other news:
EXTRA CHARGES
A Coquitlam man already facing numerous robbery charges can now add another 18 to the list. Stephen Burleigh, 47, was one of two men arrested in late April after police allegedly caught them in the middle of a robbery attempt. Police reported one suspect had gone into a corner store on Coast Meridian Road, near Prairie Avenue and reportedly brandished a handgun while the other waited outside in a vehicle. The suspects were ar-
rested as they tried to flee. Burleigh was charged with robbery, using an imitation firearm, disguising one’s face with intent to commit an indictable offence and carrying, using or threatening to use a weapon. Police have since added 18 charges to Burleigh’s file related to mainly convenience store robberies — three in Coquitlam, two in New Westminster and one in Ridge Meadows, said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. The new charges include six counts each of robbery, using an imitation firearm and disguising one’s face with intent to commit and indictable offence. Burleigh remains in custody until his next court appearance in June. spayne@tricitynews.com

PoCo surplus to be spent By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
A budgeting error in Port Coquitlam’s 2012 budget has left the city with an unusually large surplus, money it intends to put toward infrastructure replacement costs and one-time expenses. Richard Wells, the city’s interim director of corporate services, said it is not feasible to use the $1.5-million to lower property tax rates in future budgets because the surplus is not a sustainable source of revenue. Applying the funds to next year’s budget, for example, would mean an even larger increase in property tax in the 2015 budget, Wells said. “That money is only available for one year,”he said. “You would end up having to increase that amount.” Earlier this month, The Tri-City News reported that a review of the city’s financial plan found that a 1% infrastructure replacement levy — money intended to replace the city’s aging roads and facilities — was duplicated in the 2012 and 2013 financial
Green thumb prizes Port Coquitlam residents are being encouraged to show their appreciation for their neighbours’ efforts to beautify the community by nominating them for a Pride of PoCo Garden Award. There are a wide variety of categories to choose from, including residential front yards, residential backyards, multi-family gardens and balconies. There are also two new categories added this year: heritage gardens and vegetable and food-producing gardens. The annual awards recognize PoCo green thumbs who take it upon themselves to beautify their city and encourages citizens to take pride in their community. Gardens are judged by members of the PoCo Garden Club, an event sponsor and city representatives. Nomination forms are available online at www.portcoquitlam.ca/gardenawards or can be picked up at all city facilities. Nominations can be submitted by email to millerd@portcoquitlam. ca, by phone (604-927-5480) or by fax (604-9275408). They can also be dropped off in person or mailed to city hall (2580 Shaughnessy Street, Port Coquitlam, B.C.V3C 2A8). Prize-winning gardens are photographed and featured on the city’s website or in publications. plan. The issue was rectified in the current budget but meant that the city collected an additional $442,000 from taxpayers in last year’s budget, an error that partly accounts for the unusually large surplus. Development services revenue was also higher than expected, adding $600,000 to city coffers, while a savings
of $700,000 was found in the police contract. The city has already allocated a portion of the $1.5-million surplus from the 2012 financial plan. During Tuesday night’s finance and intergovernmental committee meeting, council voted in favour of using $56,000 to purchase closed-circuit video equipment for the RCMP and $50,000 for a consultant to study the
expansion of the Port Coquitlam recreation complex. Th e H y d e C r e e k rec centre will receive $100,000 for energy efficient retrofits, a cost the city said will be recouped in just over a year due to energy savings, and $25,000 will be spent to make planning and development information more accessible to the public. An $800,000 line item that would upgrade the city’s Fire Hall No. 2 has been deferred until budget discussions for the 2014 financial plan get underway. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said a large portion of the surplus will also be allocated for infrastructure replacement, helping offset some of the costs the city will face when upgrading its aging roads and facilities. He added that he would like to see the city dedicate a percentage of each year’s surplus in each year’s budget to infrastructure replacement in addition to the 1% levy the city charges each year for the funding envelope. “A surplus would go toward capital replacement projects,” he said. “Not new stuff but existing stuff that we need to replace.”
Oooh, aaah Security will be beefed up around the fireworks control stations for this year’s Canada Day celebrations in Coquitlam. Last July 1, the planned pyrotechnics were postponed to the next night after some people entered a restricted zone. Tens of thousands of revellers were in Town Centre Park waiting for a 20-minute display that was stopped early. Last week, the city’s council-in-committee was told the fencing around the “fall-out zone” will be raised by two feet and will be linked with wires; as well, signs will be posted to warn the public about the risk of entering the area and RCMP patrols will be boosted with auxiliary members, security teams and event volunteers to prevent another breach. Meanwhile, the city is also working around the Evergreen Line construction around the Evergreen Cultural Centre (ECC) to help the expected 60,000 revellers get to the festival site on Canada Day. Building for the new SkyTrain line has already cut the ECC parking lot by 35%. Heavy construction around ECC is set to begin after July 2. Last year, city council budgeted $145,000 for the July 1 event, which will run from noon to 11 p.m. and will include a street hockey tournament, a dance program and a food tasting section. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Pang took the gold medal in the intermediate (Grade 9/10) category; the top intermediate health award; the Statistical Society of Canada and Biostatistics Section Award; and $4,000 entrance scholarship to Western University.

Several Tri-City secondary students were awarded with $500 from a Coquitlam high-rise builder for entering an art contest on their vision for the future. Cressey Development recently handed out the cash prizes to the winning artists — all of whom incorporated rapid transit as part of their designs. Pictured above are Hani Lammam, Grace Yu, Caitlin Finnigan, Cressey’s senior development manager Jason Turcotte, Andrea Ho, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, Jinny Won and Travis Anderson. Won took the top accolade and earned a $3,000 grant.

A few Coquitlam teens got the opportunity of a lifetime last week to meet royalty. Thomas MacKerricher (pictured), Antalya Popatia, Kungjun Lee, Kavya Shah and Cameron Herberts received the The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award during a presentation by Prince Andrew at Government House in Victoria. The accolade is an international youth award for participants between the ages of 14 and 25 years. More than 40,000 Canadian young people are currently participating in the award program, either as independents or members of organized groups such as Boy Scouts Girl Guides, cadets, community centres, churches or schools.

‘Everything Vancouver has to offer’
Mixed-use housing comes to Dunbar Local developer Omicron is bringing the first mixed-use housing project since 2008 to the Dunbar neighbourhood with their 5555 Dunbar project, a collection of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes in a variety of floorplans. Located right next door to the Blaq Sheep Coffee House and Bistro and close to any other amenity you can possibly imagine, from restaurants to community centres to shopping to education and beyond, 5555 Dunbar is perfectly situated. “It has everything that Vancouver has to offer,” says Scott Brown, senior vice-president of residential and
commercial marketing services at Colliers International Marketing. “5555 Dunbar feels like single-family living and (the homes are) larger than you’d find downtown.” On June 1, the neighbourhood will host a block party to welcome 5555 Dunbar to the neighbourhood. Among the entertainment and activities will be an urban market, muralist, golfing station, live band and a barbecue, along with many others. The barbecue will be by donation, with all proceeds donated to the Vancouver Food Bank. Homes start at $349,000. For more information, visit www.5555dunbar. com or call 604-568-7551.
homeownership,” Paukkunen says. The Westbank name has been a huge part of the interest in 188 Keefer already. “The developments speak for themselves,” says Paukkunen. “They have incredible attention to detail and the quality is evident.” Past Westbank projects include Living Shangri-La Vancouver, Coal Harbour’s Shaw Tower and the Fairmont Pacific Rim. They are also
involved in the redevelopment of the iconic Woodward’s property in downtown Vancouver. Sales will begin soon, Paukkunen says, and the presentation centre at the corner of Main Street and Keefer Street is slated to open in the near future. Homes start at $239,900 for a one-bedroom and $399,900 for a two-bedroom. To register for more information, visit www.188keefer.com or call 604-620-2018.
‘Location is really an advantage’
Achievable living at Westbank’s 188 Keefer By Kerry Vital
Vancouver’s historic Chinatown is welcoming a newcomer to its midst with Westbank’s 188 Keefer, a stunning addition to a community already known for its friendly atmosphere. “This is an amenity-rich neighbourhood that’s poised for tremendous growth,” says Alexa Paukkunen, sales and marketing director for Magnum Projects. “Chinatown has such a storied heritage.” With restaurants, cultural activities and shopping right on your doorstep, living at 188 Keefer gives you a downtown Vancouver experience without being right in the hustle and bustle. “The location is really an advantage,” says Paukkunen. The one- and two-bedroom homes will feature spacious floorplans ranging from approximately 460 to over 1,000 square feet. Retail space will be located on the ground floor of the 17-storey building, with 156 homes in total. Two different levels of interior specifications are available, divided into tower and podium homes depending on which floor you purchase on. The podium homes up to the ninth floor will include polished granite countertops, premium plank vinyl flooring and stainless-steel appliances, among several other beautiful features, while the tower homes will feature engineered hardwood flooring, Miele and Blomberg stainless-steel appliances and Corian countertops. Tower homes are located on the upper floors. No matter where in the building

Place and the North Shore Mountains. A concrete feature wall will be included on the tower that will be home to a public art installation by Vancouver artist Ron Terada. In the building, homeowners will find nearly 4,000 square feet of amenity space, including a huge outdoor terrace, indoor lounge and fitness facility. The outdoor space will include a children’s play area, urban garden plots, outdoor barbecue, fireplace and seating area, while the indoor lounge will feature a large living room seating area, flatscreen TV, kitchen space and a dining room perfect for entertaining. “This is a unique opportunity to be able to afford a home in a unique community,” Paukkunen says. “It’s an achievable price point and an achievable downpayment option.” Indeed, buyers are able to own at 188 Keefer with just five per cent down, something that is rarely seen in the Lower Mainland’s housing market. “We want to minimize the (financial) threshold to get people into

Jr. Ravens secure rugby title with win over South Surrey Terry Fox defeats Earl Marriott in FV championship By Gary McKenna ThE Tri-CiTy NEws
The Fraser Valley Rugby Championship was a battle between
two undefeated teams, but in the end it was the Terry Fox Jr. Ravens who emerged with their record intact. The PoCo club manhandled Surrey’s Earl Marriott secondary in much the same way they defeated every team they faced this season: strength and determination.
“Had you suggested to me back in February that they would reach such heights I would have scoffed,” said cocoach Jorge Knizek. “But they certainly proved me wrong.” This week’s final started well for Fox, who jumped out to an early 12-0 lead on the strength
of two Mike West tries, the second of which came after dodging a number of tacklers and sprinting 55 metres for the tally. But the South Surrey squad was able to respond and tied the game up 12-12 before the first half was over.
Centaurs keep unbeaten streak alive in FV finals Th e C e n t e n n i a l Sr. Centaurs boys rugby team defeated Seaquam secondary to capture the AAA tier II Fraser Valley championship last week in Surrey. The Centaurs began strongly, taking possession after the kickoff and moving
deep into Seaquam territory to take a 10-0 lead after a penalty kick and a converted try. Centennial maintained the pressure with stellar defensive play to lead 22-5 going in to the second half. Th e D e l t a c l u b managed a few un-
converted tries late in the second half, but Centennial answered each time with scores of their own, including a 90-meter run. Increased pressure from Seaquam was not enough to get past the Centaurs, who won the game 39-15. sports@tricitynews.com

Ravens put up 31 points continued from page 38
The Ravens were undeterred and continued to put the pressure on the opposition. Isaiah Stevens put Fox back in the lead with two early scores to make the game 26-12.
Earl Marriott, however, would not go away, with the team closing the gap with a few tallies of their own to make it 26-22. But that was the last bit of offense the Surrey squad was able to muster in the cham-
pionship bout, and the Ravens still had more. Scott Barker clinched the victory for Terry Fox to make it 31-22, putting away the opposition in the final minutes of the second half. sports@tricitynews.com

The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs blasted the Burnaby lakers 16-2 during a B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League game at the Coquitlam Sports and Recreation Complex.
Adanacs find their groove against struggling Lakers By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
The next time the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs are awarded a man advantage, they may want to think twice about accepting the penalty. While the B.C. Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse League team cruised to a 16-2 victory during Wednesday night’s bout against the Burnaby Lakers, the only time the opposition was able to score was when they were short-handed. That does not mean Coquitlam showed any signs of struggling. The team blasted out of the gates with a power play goal from Evan Wortley, who was followed by four more from the A’s before the Lakers were able to get on the board. If there was one bright spot for Burnaby it was the play of Tyler Buchan, who scored both of the visitor’s tallies — one midway through the first and the second coming in the middle frame. But the Lakers could not slow down an Adanacs offense that had no trouble getting shots through. Burnaby goalie Jack Woodhouse was relieved of his duties before the opening period had ended, after allowing six goals on 15 shots. Backup net minder Xander McDonald faired only slightly better, allowing ten goals on the 40 shots he faced. For the Adanacs, the game was an opportunity to pad some stats. Chase McIntyre, who is second in the league in scoring, scored two goals and notched five assists, while teammate Erik Klein had a six point night, with two goals
and four assists. Steven Neufeld, Andy Taylor and Matt Symes all had four point games. Coquitlam will be back in action on Saturday when they take on the Delta Islanders at the Ladner Arena,
before taking on the Victoria Shamrocks at the Coquitlam Sports and Leisure Complex on Sunday at 5 p.m. The Port Coquitlam Saints will also be playing this weekend, taking on Delta at the Port
Coqutilam Recreation Complex on Friday at 8 p.m. before receiving a visit from Nanaimo at 5 p.m. on Sunday. For more information go to www.bcjuniorlacrosse.com. sports@tricitynews.com

KAPPEL, Hans Otto Kappel Passed away in his 87th year after a brief period of illness. We remember him with affection for his vigour, ingenuity, and indefatigable determination to complete any project started. In his years as the owner of Westwood TV, and with other Chamber of Commerce members, he participated in the early efforts to establish the Poco Trail along the Coquitlam River. After a life of hard work he brought the same energy to his retirement and was able to windsurf, swim, and dance well into his senior years. His children, Robert (Irene), Glen (Sue), Gordon (Eileen) & Brigitte, and grandchildren, Alex, Kristen, Adam, & Jessica were beside him and admired his ability to remain very much himself in his final days. He leaves behind a brother, Karl, and extended family in Germany. Hans was predeceased by our loving mother / grandmother, Ann. A gathering of family and friends will be held at a future date. Donations can be made to BC Heart & Stroke or to Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation. Condolences may be send to www.mapleridgefuneral.ca
