18 months for daycare operator By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The daycare operator charged in the death of a nearly one-year-old boy on his first day of daycare in January 2011 will spend the next 18 months in prison. In his reasons for sentencing, B.C. Provincial Court Judge David Stone noted many of the supporting cases offered by both Crown and defence lawyers involved more aggravating circumstances, such as a period of abuse or neglect preceding the death, than the case of Maria McFerran, who last September pleaded guilty to criminal negligence causing death. McFerran was operating the Rattle ‘n’ Roll daycare out of her Port Coquitlam home when

Arto Howley, just two days away from his first birthday, arrived for his first day of daycare on Jan. 17, 2011. He died just four hours later. As an unlicensed daycare, McFerran was allowed to care for fewer than three children not related to her, but on the day Arto died she was looking after him as well as six other children. McFerran had strapped him into a car seat with the padding removed and left him alone, with no baby monitor on, in an upstairs bedroom for a nap. When she came back to check on Arto an hour later he wasn’t breathing; an autopsy found he had slumped down in the car seat and was strangled by the straps. see CAR SEAT, page 4

NDP’s Robinson back in the lead By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

MARIA SPITALE-LEISK/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Maple Ridge’s Connor L’Abbe, 3, and his dad, Denis, enjoy some peaceful bonding time at the Como Lake Fishing Derby Sunday in Coquitlam. Approximately 75 trout were recorded during the derby, said Peter Kessler with the Port Coquitlam District Hunting and Fishing Club. Coquitlam’s Brice Kingsley reeled in the winner, a 15 3/4-ounce trout.

The CoquitlamMaillardville riding will likely stay in the NDP’s hands after a count of absentee ballots gave Selina Robinson a slight edge over Liberal candidate Steve Kim. According to Elections BC, the NDP candidate for CoquitlamMaillardville has 35 votes more than Kim. However, these numbers are preliminary and subject to a judicial recount. “I’m honoured, humbled, overwhelmed and overjoyed,” Robinson said Tuesday morning. “I’m hopeful that the win

will stand...but I’m feeling comfortable.” An election night vote on May 14 had Robinson 111 votes behind Kim but the final count had Robinson at 9,928 votes compared to Kim’s 9,893, a difference of just 35 votes. Under the Election Act the District Electoral Officer must apply to the Supreme Court for a judicial recount if the difference between the top two candidates is less than .2% of the ballots considered. (That application hasn’t yet been made so it’s not known when the recount will happen.) see ABSENTEE, page 5

First food truck rolls out in Coq. By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Warning: If you read this you may have to run out of the office to grab a pulled pork sandwich with slaw and homemade aioli or a chorizo and feta-stuffed burger from This Little Piggy and immediately devour it. Do not read if you are operating heavy equipment or if you are on deadline and it’s almost lunchtime. Coquitlam’s first mobile food truck — launched as part of a new program to place street food vendors throughout the city — has made its home in front of the David Lam campus at Douglas College. And This Little Piggy, owned by James and Katie Coutu, is attracting a lot of attention. It could be the cute, p i n k b i l l b o a rd a nnouncing that they are open or the smells of Portuguese-inspired cooking. What ever the attraction, the Coutus are grateful for the interest as they launch the city’s first mobile food truck under new rules to enhance mobile vending in the city. “People really love good food,” is James’ explanation for the interest, since the truck set up shop on PInetree Way, with the full sanction of the city and Fraser Health. The food truck is one of several the city hopes to see operating this year. Currently, applications from interested mobile food businesses

James and Katie Coutu stand inside their This Little Piggy mobile food truck outside Douglas College’s David Lam Campus in Coquitlam. are being accepted for 10 different locations. While Vancouver has established a vibrant mobile food vendor culture and Port Moody has been experimenting with its own program and is seeking vendors for its Summer Sundays Concert Series at Rocky Point Park, Coquitlam is just now launching this venture after passing a bylaw last year.

But the Coutus think their relentless pursuit of establishing a mobile food truck in the city may be behind the initiative. “It was way before it all started to take off,” James said of his initial interest five years ago. The two Coquitlam r e s i d e n t s a r e av i d watchers of the Food Network, especially Eat St., and while Katie

knows mobile food vending from her work in the film industry, James has been operating a catering business for several years. His mom, Alice, is from Portugal and many of the recipes are hers, with additions by James, such as crunchy warm bean sprout and carrot slaw on the shaved pork sandwich and burgers stuffed with feta and

chorizo. James said he purchased the GMC step van a few years ago and has been working to convert it for mobile food vending for some time. Last year, the couple sold food at various local festivals, and plans to do so again, and is considering doing catering on the side. The truck will also

be camped outside of Douglas College from Tu e s d ay t o Fr i d ay, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. throughout the summer and into the fall, and, starting in June, will serve breakfast sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches, burgers and chicken tacos outside the Coquitlam Station bus loop in the mornings and late afternoons. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

After brush with tornado, Mackenzie wants to help By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

An uneventful but long flight from Moore, Oklahoma ended in horror last week when S h e l by M a c k e n z i e turned on her cellphone. The Coquitlam mom was looking forward to reuniting with her kids, age 4 and 11, and her husband, Darren, after spending four days away in the southwestern U.S. city with her aunt D.D. She had spent all of Monday in transit, including a seven hour layover in Chicago, mostly with her cellphone turned off. But upon arrival at Vancouver International Airport at about 6 p.m., there were several voice mail messages on her cellphone, including one from her brother for her to call right away. Th at ’ s wh e n s h e heard about the tornado

Cougar warning in Burke

Shelby Mackenzie, left, of Coquitlam is hosting a fundraiser for the victims of Moore, Oklahoma, right, which recently suffered a devastating tornado. that struck the town of Moore, where she had just been not 12 hours ago. “I’m on the plane and my heart just went over and I thought it was so shocking and surreal — I just went numb.” All she knew was that a powerful tornado had ripped through the town she had just been visit-

ing. “We still didn’t know if everyone was safe.” Fo r t u n a t e l y, h e r aunt’s family survived the damaging twister but the home, where Mackenzie stayed in during her visit, was badly damaged. The windows were blown out and several walls had been knocked down. The family sur-

vived the ordeal by taking refuge in a closet, Mackenzie said. Now they are are looking forward to moving into rental accommodation. They have insurance and the entire family, including D.D. and her three sons, are safe. Other families are not so lucky and Mackenzie said she wants to do

something for the survivors. “I need to focus my energy on something positive,” she said, recalling how she spent most of last week in a daze. “I felt helpless. I didn’t know what to do,” she explained. Eventually, she came up with the idea of holding a fundraising ben-

efit for the Red Cross in support of the Moore tornado victims because she had heard how the charitable organization supplied her aunt’s family with food and water during the emergency. She’s holding it in PoCo, where she grew up and has Mayor Greg Moore on side for the event. Moore Love for the Moore, Oklahoma tornado victims will be held Saturday, June 8, and will feature an evening of live entertainment, live and silent auctions and raffles at the Port Coquitlam Recreation Centre, starting at 7 p.m. “I’m trying to get as many people there as I can to help the people of Moore,”she said. She’s also looking for donated items to be auctioned. To help out or buy tickets, email Mackenzie at shelby@healthaidcanada.ca dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

A week after a family’s run in with a cougar at S a s a m at L a ke , conservation officers are warning Coquitlam residents living in neighbourhoods north of David Avenue near the Coquitlam river to be on the lookout for a big cat. The animal is not believed to be the same one that attacked a dog on private property fronting Sasamat Lake last week. This cougar lives in the Coquitlam River ravine which connects urban Coquitlam with the backwoods of B.C. The Conservation Officer Service is putting out a public warning to Coquitlam residents because of the frequency of this cougar showing up in residential streets and back yards. Officers will continue to monitor the cougar and is encouraging people to take precautions. “We want residents to be aware that a cougar is in the area, but to our knowledge hasn’t had any conflicts with people. Cougar sightings in this area are common as greenbelts run from the mountains into Coquitlam. If residents want further information on cougars they are encouraged to refer to the COS website.” the officers stated in a press release. All sightings and conflicts should be reported to the COS at 1-877-952-7277. For more information, visit www.env. gov.bc.ca/cos/info/ wildlife_human_interaction. Last week, a family had a runin with a cougar in their yard on Sasamat Lake when their puppy was attacked. Officers suspect the cougar was hunting on the shoreline, was surprised by the dog, and attacked defensively. A teenage boy tried to fend off the cougar until the big cat took a swipe at him, and missed. The animal eventually left the property, leaving the dog with several scratches to its head and back.

Car seat hidden before 911 call we had known the truth about Maria, about the complaints laid against her, about the inspections she failed, about the children she had endangered and the families who left her daycare because they feared for their children’s safety, we never would have trusted her with Arto’s life. “The system should be set up so families can easily access all the information they need to make one of the most important decisions they will ever make...but it isn’t. All we hope is that his death is a wake-up call for parents and anyone who cares for children.” Crown counsel spokesperson Samantha Hulme said they will not appeal the sentencing because there was no legal error made by the judge. “In this case the judge has properly considered the circumstances of the accused, the facts of the case, applicable law and all the sentencing principles in the Criminal Code, and he gave a sentence that’s within the range of what’s available for this type of offence,” Hulme said. “We don’t think there’s any basis to launch an appeal.”

continued from front page

Before calling 911 McFerran hid the car seat in the garage and told first responders Arto had been sleeping in a playpen and likely choked on a blanket. That night, however, she told her husband she had lied and went to police the next day to tell the truth. Investigators subsequently found eight car seats at the Shaughnessy Street home. An expert who examined the seat Arto had been in found it was not safe or suitable for use as a child restraint device. Defence lawyer Mark Bussanich had suggested a jail term of six to 12 months while Crown prosecutor Jay Fogel argued for a term of two to three years for McFerran. “A common outcome in cases involving criminal negligence causing death, where the criminal act is not part of a pattern of criminal conduct but was an isolated negligent act, the jail term imposed could be served by way of a conditional sentence,” said Judge Stone, adding recent changes to the Criminal Code mean conditional sentences are no longer available for cases such as McFerran’s. Another section of the Criminal Code emphasizes the need for “denunciation and deterrence of such conduct” for offences involving the abuse of a person under

Jeff and Victoria Howley held a photo of their son, Arto, who died on his first day at Maria McFerran’s daycare in January 2011. McFerran pleaded guilty to criminal negligence causing death, and was sentenced Monday to 18 months in prison. 18. “There is an obvious distinction, in my view, between cases where deliberate abuse was inflicted versus those where the accused ought to have known better and ought to have taken better care, but whose error caused a tragic situation such as the one before me,” said Judge Stone. “Both families involved in this case...have been affected in a lifechanging and permanent way by Ms. McFerran’s conduct,” he continued. “In this case there is no way any sentence that I can impose is going to rectify the tragic incident...affecting these two families.”

Judge Stone did not impose a period of probation following the 18month sentence, noting it was“unlikely that this accused will be before the courts in the future.” T h e 4 9 - y e a r- o l d mother of two wiped away tears throughout the sentencing hearing and bowed her head sobbing as the sheriff handcuffed her and led her away, while Arto’s mother, Victoria Howley,

watched from the courtroom’s front row. Howley spoke to media following a hearing last month and pleaded for changes to a daycare system that doesn’t always give parents the full picture. “Our message is for the thousands of families like ours who do not have the luxury to stay at home with their children and who must rely on daycare,” she said. “If

Absentee ballots give Robinson 35 vote lead The total ballots considered for the riding is 21,897 and the threshold for requesting a judicial recount is 43 votes. On Tuesday morning, Kim said Monday had been an “interesting day” and he’d have to keep waiting out the process. “We certainly have to respect the process but...at the end of the day when the final tally is posted, we have to respect the will of the people as well,”Kim said. The new vote tally is a big win for the BC

NDP, whose defeat was a crushing blow after pundits expected the opposition party to win the B.C. election handily. Leader Adrian Dix hasn’t stepped down but has promised a thorough review of the election, which resulted in 50 seats for the Liberals, 33 for the NDP, one for the Green Party and one Independent. Should Robinson keep the seat, the results will be 49 Liberal seats and 34 NDP, still a hefty majority for the governing party but nevertheless a relief for the Opposition; for-

mer NDP stalwart Diane Thorne held the riding for two terms before retiring. Robinson would also join MLA-Elect Linda Reimer in facing a decision on whether to quit their council jobs, prompting a byelection.

Robinson said she felt it’s important to step down — though she isn’t sure when — because “doing both jobs is a challenge and not respectful of either job, you can’t do both equally well.” Premier Christy Clark

Elections BC has announced that after a count of absentee ballots NDP candidate Selina Robinson now has a 35 vote lead over BC Liberal Steve Kim in Coquitlam-Maillardville.

The city of Coquitlam will ask for provincial government help to get a bailey bridge connecting with New Westminster replaced with two lanes. At Monday’s meeting, city council unanimously voted to apply to B.C.’s ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development for a dispute resolution process that Coquitlam hopes will see the deteriorating Braid Street bridge temporarily converted into two lanes, costing $1.7 million. The move comes after a structural engineer in February reported the 18-year-old bridge had a “critical fatigue crack.” And when it reopened two weeks later, the bridge was posted with a 15-tonne weight restriction. The engineer also said the bailey bridge had to be replace by late 2014. Bill Susak, Coquitlam’s general manager of engineering and public works, told Coquitlam council a number of transportation improvement projects in the south of the city have recently come to a halt, including the North Fraser Perimetre Road (NFPR) and the Brunette Avenue interchange. And the Royal City has resisted efforts to replace the inter-municipal bridge with two lanes to support the 10,000 or so vehicles it carries a day. In a letter to Susak last month, New West’s engineering director Jim Lowrie wrote a two-lane bridge would be “counter productive, difficult to enforce and contrary to existing city and regional plans and policies. “Moreover, the additional capital cost for a two-lane bridge compared to a single-lane bridge when used in this fashion is considered an

unjustified expenditure of public funds,” Lowrie wrote in his letter, dated April 16. Yesterday, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said council and staff have tried to find a solution but the Royal City isn’t budging on its stance. As a result, he said, goods movement is tied up and traffic to Royal Columbian Hospital can be jammed. The gridlock is also spilling over on to residential roads in Coquitlam and New Westminster, Stewart said. New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright wasn’t available for comment before The TriCity News’ print deadline; however, Coun. Bill Harper told the New West NewsLeader that New West supports the mediation process. New West wants to meet with Coquitlam, TransLink, Transport Canada and transport ministry officials to reach “sustainable and livable goals.” “We have all sorts of concerns in making that a two-way bridge,” Harper said. “There’s all sorts of issues with the railway and Braid and Brunette, and there’s all sorts of issues of getting traffic in and out of that area. “To simply just go and double the bridge would harm New Westminster and that’s why we’re taking that position. We weren’t the ones that built United Boulevard. They were the ones that built it and thought it would be plowed through to Brunette.” Susak said if the dispute resolution doesn’t work out, Coquitlam is prepared to go to binding arbitration.

Partington Plan clears first hurdle after council vote By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

A plan more than eight years in the making for the largest neighbourhood on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain reached a milestone this week. On Monday, city council unanimously voted for first reading of the draft Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan (PCNP), a proposal to add up to 15,000 new residents on Burke’s eastern slope, by Minnekhada regional park. And next month, city council will open the floor for anyone who wants a say in its vision for the 595 acres to be developed over the next 20 years. The PCNP calls for up to 5,700 new homes plus a commercial and recre-

ational hub to be built, with $157 million in new infrastrucAsmundson ture. A t Monday’s council-incommittee, city planners put forward a servicing and civic facilities assessment — a PCNP companion document — showing $119 million for the works to come from development cost charges (DCCs): • transportation: $38.5 million • park acquisition: $22.8 million • park improvement: $16.5 million • drainage: $32.9 million • sanitary: $2.4 million • water: $5.9 million

The $40-million gap for non-eligible DCC items such as for a civic centre, gym and swimming pool could be funded through federal government grants, private partnerships, density bonusing and the new Community Amenities Contribution (CAC) program, city planner Andrew Merrill said. Still, while councillors were generally pleased with the blueprint for Partington, some continued to voice their concern about the lack of green space in the neighbourhood where density will be high (threequarters of Partington residents will be accommodated in multi-family homes). Coun. Brent Asmundson, a longtime Burke resident, sug-

gested stacked townhomes along collector roads to free up green space. “I would see that as entirely feasible in the Neighbourhood Centre,” responded Jim McIntyre, general manager of planning and development, at the council meeting. Coun. Craig Hodge, also a Burke resident, pressed for green streets — or common front yards — in Partington while Coun. Selina Robinson said the city should work on having parks within a 10-minute walk from homes. And, at committee, Coun. Lou Sekora suggested the city should dedicate one acre of parkland for every 100 residents in Partington. The public hearing for PCNP is scheduled for Monday, June 24.

Todd nominated for award By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

The mother of Amanda Todd has been shortlisted for the 2013 Me to We Awards. Voting is now underway for six awards, including the Social Service category for which Carol Todd, a Port Coquitlam educatorturned-children’s-advocate, has been nominated. Todd says she was nominated by colleagues earlier this year, unbe-

knownst to her, and is honoured to be recognized. According to information provided by Canadian Living and AOL/Huffington Post Impact Canada, the awards are to recognize people making a difference in communities, at home and abroad. If she wins, Todd would put the $5,000 cash prize into the Amanda Todd’s Legacy/ Memorial Fund, which is administered by the Vancouver Foundation. Todd doesn’t know

how much is in the legacy fund and is waiting for the right project to support before making any disbursements. Meanwhile, fundraising continues for the fund that supports projects that deal with bullying, cyberbullying awareness and resources, help for youth with mental health concerns or learning disabilities and combatting child exploitation. Voting ends next Saturday, June 1. To participate, visit www.huffingtonpost.ca.

‘RCH saved my life’ Amie MacNeil pulled through, thanks to the expertise and cutting-edge technology at Royal Columbian

mie MacNeil was a healthy 27-year-old when she became pregnant with her first child. But because she had suffered hydrocephalus (swelling on the brain) during her infancy, she was advised by her physician to have her baby at Royal Columbian Hospital (RCH) as hers was considered a high-risk pregnancy. This cautionary advice saved her life. After a perfectly healthy pregnancy and the birth of a gorgeous little boy named Jacob, Amie experienced a postpartum hemorrhage (her uterus would not contract). This led to a cascade of interventions from drugs to surgery to help contract the uterus. As her gynecologist Dr. Peter Beresford and his team worked to stem the hemorrhage, Amie went into cardiac arrest. One of the attending anesthetists, Dr. Robert Sharpe, is also a cardiac surgeon and together with Beresford, they worked to save Amie’s life. She was put on ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation – a machine that allows for the recovery of the lungs and heart) and was placed in an induced coma for 12 days. It took two days for her to be slowly weaned off the ECMO machine. During this time, Amie’s husband Todd knew he was in danger of losing the love of his life. Emotionally conflicted, his attention was split between the joy of his first-born son and the devastation of possibly losing Amie. After almost a month in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and High Acuity Unit, Amie went home, fully recovered. Recently Amie and Todd have adopted Nolan, who is now 11 months old. This completes their happy family of four. “If I did not have our baby at RCH I probably would not have survived,” Amie says. “I was in the right place at the right time and had some of the best physicians I could have asked for at my bedside, making

decisions that saved my life. I was also fortunate that RCH had the right equipment and technology available to allow for my heart and lungs to recover during those initial days when my condition was so critical.” Her husband Todd agrees. “There really are no words to describe how terrifying that situation was,” he says. “At a time when I was meant to be celebrating the birth of my son, I was in absolute shock over the possibility of losing my wife.” “The maternity nurses at RCH were incredibly supportive, training me in all the practicalities of being a dad. The nurses in ICU went the extra mile to give me time to be with my wife Amie.” “If ever there was a reason to give, I have them by the handful!”

Education issues

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

Education was hardly a burning issue in the provincial election, leaving many educators, trustees and administrators — not to mention parents — scratching their heads. Cash-strapped school districts from Prince George to New Westminster, including School District 43, were expecting to hear something specific about a long-term vision for funding a 21st century education system. But whatever was in the political kit bags of the two party front-runners was lost in debates over who would better handle the economy. Meanwhile, districts across the province are slashing budgets to keep spending in line with funding. SD43’s funding problems are magnified by revenue and expense miscalculations during last year’s budget process. But SD43 isn’t the only district cutting back and few would argue that the education system is awash in cash. Rather, it is merely holding the line while expectations for smaller classes, support for special needs and help for children with learning disabilities, technology and other demands increase. So where was the talk about building a sustainable funding system for schools? Where was the leadership given last year’s labour unrest that resulted in many clubs and sporting events being cancelled? It was drowned out by political recriminations on both sides. Now though, Premier Christy Clark is re-floating an earlier trial balloon to seek a 10-year labour agreement with teachers. While it’s true that labour peace would surely benefit the education system, it’s hard to see how making the BCTF eat crow so soon after the election (many teachers thought they’d be dealing with a friendly NDP government) is going to bring this about. And because the issue hardly came up, it’s hard to argue the 10year deal is part of her mandate. For many people, what’s needed first is a new, more equitable funding formula that doesn’t pit urban school districts against rural districts for scarce cash. Once a longterm vision for funding is revealed, then Clark might be in a better position to work with teachers on the vaunted 10-year labour deal. But until then, all she’ll accomplish with re-writing the teachers’labour contract is more instability in schools. So, um, good luck with that.

BCTF digs in for endless war with B.C. government BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA ike those Japanese soldiers who didn’t hear about the end of World War II, the militant fringe that controls the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is digging in for endless battle against the B.C. government. Their nemesis, Premier Christy Clark, reiterated last week that seeking a 10-year agreement with the BCTF is a top priority when the legislature is recalled this summer. The current one-year truce ends June 30. The BCTF grudgingly agreed to that extension last year, then ran TV ads calling for an NDP government that promised concessions and union bosses on both sides of the negotiating table. “You know, I may be a lame duck,”outgoing BCTF president Susan Lambert crowed to cheering classroom-warfare radicals at the union’s convention in March,“but I think

Christy’s goose is cooked.” We’ll never know how much this sort of gloating contributed to the epic collapse of the NDP, champion of public sector union members whose pay and benefits make them the new upper class. But I can tell you the prospects for sparing children from this ideological warfare are not good. Last week the B.C. Court of Appeal handed down an ivory-tower decision that upheld the“right”of teachers to bring their union demands into the classroom in the form of posters, buttons and black armbands that to some self-absorbed teachers symbolize the“death”of education. During the election campaign, The Globe and Mail carried a story on one of those mock elections held in schools around the province. An elementary-level student was quoted as saying she voted against the B.C. Liberals because Clark “caused a teachers’ strike.” If this kid was talking about the most recent strike, I wonder where she got that idea. In a

negotiating performance that was appalling even by BCTF standards, Lambert and her team conducted months of disruptive work-torule action before they could even articulate a wage and benefit demand. When they finally did, it was outrageously out of touch with reality. An indication of how the union’s ruling class wants to conduct itself in the classroom can be found in the latest issue of the BCTF newsletter to its members. Joanna Larson, president of the Prince Rupert union local, contributes an article headlined:“What kind of citizen do we hope to graduate from our K-12 public schools?” Larson first quotes the education ministry’s current goals. They include preparing citizens who are“creative, flexible, self-motivated, and who have a positive self-image.”Another goal is citizens who are“skilled and who can contribute to society generally, including the world of work.” Larson then mocks these goals, as follows: “Essentially, the Ministry of Education has a vision of citizens who will maintain the status

quo, not rock the boat, and participate on a superficial level in aspects of political and societal change. It doesn’t challenge individuals to take direct action against exploitation, marginalization and violence.” In case you missed the political message, Larson later asserts:“The educated citizens we graduate from our schools cannot just be content to wear a pink shirt once a year…. Educated, engaged citizens must be willing to take direct action to change and shape our society for the better.” What is this ghastly“status quo”that must be challenged by“direct action”? In these campusradical screeds, the final answer is generally the same: capitalism. This call to arms is a blend of the NDP election platform and a rant from the Occupy Vancouver squat of a couple of years ago. It’s no wonder we hear of students making BCTF picket signs in art class. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Ulrike (62) Low intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, non-toxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminous and laser diodes. Cells use this energy to repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process. Based on the genetic makeup of the cells, an individual’s response to LILT will vary to some degree.

Books make armchair traveling possible A GOOD READ Anthea Goffe Some summer reads that will take you far, far away

here shall we go today? For me, there is nothing to rival a quick trip around the world and back through the eyes of a good travel writer. All of these books offer short and sweet escapes to take you away from the here and now, and possibly inspire you on your own epic journey. Better than Fiction edited by Don George is a well-chosen collection of true travel stories by authors who are better known for their fiction, including Isabel Allende, Alexander McCall Smith, Pico Iyer, as well as lesser-known authors from around the world. An interesting and eclectic mix of stories, often focusing more on the philosophical, meaningseeking elements of travel than straight travelogues. Bryce Courtenay states in Getting Travel Dirt UnderYour Fingernails that“good travel is returning home a slightly bigger part of everyone

and not quite the same person as when you set out.” An especially good illustration of this is A Small World After All by Charles Finch who, by attending the 2010 World Cup in Cape Town, South Africa, manages to meet and learn about most of the 32 nations that have gathered there. He learns that alcohol and a love of sport can transcend most cultural barriers. But when he meets the team from North Korea, a small and strangely inanimate group, it’s the lines that can never be crossed that make the deepest impression of all. A similar but more introspective collection is OpenYour Eyes: Extraordinary Experiences in Faraway Places, edited by Jill

Davis. Again it features prominent authors (Lois Lowry, Katherine Paterson and others) writing on their travels, but many are childhood or adolescent memoirs of living abroad, of what it means to be foreign and to represent one’s home nation to strangers who range from inquisitive to hostile to plain indifferent. The best of these is Little American Mom, Big French Briefcase by Susie Morgenstern, in which the author writes from her daughter’s point of view the effect of living in Nice, immersed in French society, with a loud, confused American mother constantly in tow. To give modern day travel a bit of perspective, The Adventurer’s Handbook: Life Lessons

from History’s Great Explorers by Mick Conefrey gathers together eclectic tips and tales from mainly 19th and early 20th century explorers. The book is roughly organized into five sections: Getting Started (planning and raising funds), Getting Going (hazards of climate and environment), Getting Along (the human side of expedition life), Getting There (focusing in depth on the success or failure of six particular expeditions) and Getting Back (the hard job of returning home to fame, poverty, or both). Delightfully quirky, you can learn how one British explorer managed to fend off an attack of local tribesmen in Bolivia by ordering his soldiers

to play the accordion and sing as though“passing a jolly hour in an English pub.”Soon the arrows stopped flying and the men were invited into the local village“where cordial relations were quickly established.” Fraud by David Rakoff is a humourous collection of essays loosely based on the author’s experiences in different countries, from his unique perspective as a gay Jewish Canadian transplant NewYorker. Probably my favourite is Arise,Ye Wretched of the Earth, the story of Rakoff’s idealistic teenaged self spending a summer at an Israeli kibbutz (communal farm) and learning quickly that harvesting the fruits of your labour isn’t quite that romantic. When he and the other boys are sent on a mysterious late-night poultry packing operation,“we greeted the news with that respectful Hemingway Silence of theY Chromosome.” Sadly, Rakoff died recently (2012), so this will

be his final collection. If you haven’t read his essays and are a fan of David Sedaris, this collection is worth hunting down. All of these titles and many more are available at your local library.

Happy armchair travelling.

Port Coquitlam high school grad Ashley Wright is up for a Jessie award for his Bard on the Beach performance.

Locals get Jessie nod A Port Coquitlam native has been nominated for a Jessie Richardson Theatre Award for outstanding actor in a lead role. Ashley Wright is shortlisted in the category for his portrayal of Falstaff in the Merry Wives of Windsor, which ran at last summer’s Bard on the Beach. Wright, a PoCo high grad who will be appearing in the Toronto stage production of Les Miserables this fall, is up against Andrew McNee (BoeingBoeing); Andrew Wheeler (Clybourne Park); Gaelan Beatty (Xanadu); and Scott Bellis (King John). “I do feel very honoured to have been recognized by the Jessie committee,” Wright told The Tri-City News. “I absolutely loved doing the play, as well as King John, and feel blessed to have been a part of Bard On The Beach last summer.” Also up for a Jessie are PoCo resident Mat Ollson for significant achievement (small theatre) in The Zombie Syndrome, and Port M o o dy ’ s Jo rd a n Watkins for significant achievement in Cranked for Green Thumb Theatre.

Her goal? “I want to be with a contemporary dance company, something that offers me the freedom to do the styles that I want to do.”

s hundreds of young people in — and from — the Tri-Cities get ready for graduation, many of them are getting news from the colleges, universities and employers they have so anxiously been waiting to hear back from. For this edition, The Tri-City News zeroed in on three artistic students — one from each of our cities — to hear what lies ahead for their promising futures.

DANIEL ALWELL

SARAH JUNG

A Grade 12 student at Coquitlam’s Gleneagle secondary, visual artist Sarah Jung took a while to decide what school she would train at post-grad. An art enhancement program student of Don Portelance at Place des Arts, Jung said she got accepted to the internationally esteemed School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), which offered her a $44,000 scholarship. But when the Maryland Institute College of the Arts ponied up $88,000, the 17-year-old teen consulted her family, friends and teachers who agreed the Baltimore institution would be best. “I picked Maryland over Chicago because, first off, they both offered amazing programs — the writing program was particularly attractive — but what really pulled me in was their warm family welcome,” she said. “They added me to their Facebook page and answered every single question I had for them. They also had a history of high employment rates for their graduates. This year, it was 100%.” Jung is unsure what she’ll be majoring in; however, illustration may be in the cards.

Lucky for her, Wong gained a spot in the fouryear program that will see her learn ballet, jazz and modern dance plus related studies in improvisation, composition, theory, history, music, anatomy, singing, acting and choreography. A student at Danzmode Productions in Burnaby, Wong has already made a name for herself in the

Already a graduate of Dr. Charles Best secondary in Coquitlam, Daniel Alwell of Port Moody this week wraps up his dance studies at the Arts Umbrella on Granville Island. And, tomorrow, the Irish native flies east to join one of the most prominent modern dance companies in the world: Les Ballet Jazz de Montreal (BJM). Alwell had auditioned for BJM in January and made it to the final round; however, “it wasn’t until I was offered another job that they decided to offer me the apprenticeship with the company.” He had applied to Ballet BC and was awarded a job with Imperfect Dance in Pisa, Italy, but ultimately went with BJM “because I felt it was the right move for my career right now,” he said, adding, “Europe is still where I want to end up but, with BJM, I will have the opportunity to travel to Europe, Israel and the U.S. with one of Canada’s leading contemporary companies and gain extremely valuable experience for later in my career.” During his 13-month contract with BJM, Alwell will be working for five or six days a week on touring repertoire. As well, he’ll study with choreographers from around the world on new creations for the company. “Basically, I will be putting everything I have learnt over the last four years at Arts Umbrella into practice and I am confident that I have all the knowledge and experience I need to accomplish this next step in my life,”he said.

Caulfield said all four shows will be different and will include faculty as well. Among the top students in the limelight will be Lauren Philliips, the current provincial titleholder for voice: musical theatre; Tiana Pazdirek, a provincial representative for the Surrey Festival of Dance in tap and stage dance; and Tiana Jung, a provincial representative for the Coquitlam District Music Festival in voice: musical theatre. Tickets at $18 are available at the door on the day of the show. Call the theatre at 604-468-9403 or visit www. terryfoxtheatre.com.

Concertmaster for VSO to speak at PdA Place des Arts’ talk will be Dale Barltrop’s first time he has talked about his role as concertmaster By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

In last year’s flick A Late Quartet, the character portrayed by Philip Seymour Hoffman is the second violinist in a world-renowned string foursome who is tired of playing second fiddle. The tension in the movie between the violinist who offers the harmony and the leader with the melody — not to mention the spotlight — is common in many classical musical settings. Dale Barltrop understands the complexities of the two roles, having played both. He was the principal second violinist with the Mainly Mozart Festival Orchestra in San Diego as well as with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra in Minnesota before being named in 2009 the first violinist and concertmaster of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, replacing Mark Fewer. “I find people who play first violin all their lives don’t have an appreciation for what it’s like being an inner voice. Having had that experience, it only enhances my awareness as a first violinist.” First violinists are usually notorious for being the least sensitive about what’s going on around them — as A Late Quartet showed — as they are put

on a pedestal. “It’s very important that we’re also listening to what’s going on underneath us, and we can always do a better job at that.” On Thursday, as part of Place des Arts’ Salon Speaker Series, Barltrop will talk about the balancing act of concertmasters; it will be his first time articulating the role to the public. Still, despite having to sometimes ease the personality conflicts and setting the tone for the 75-plus musicians on stage, Barltrop says the job of “team captain”can be fun. As concertmaster, he is the conduit between the orchestra and the conductor, be it Bramwell Tovey or guest conductors. Barltrop is also the head of the string section — the largest grouping of musicians — and the director of the bows, which are recorded months before a performance. And there are plenty of ambassadorial duties as concertmaster to keep him busy, namely appearing at fundraisers, playing at pre- and post-concert receptions and recitals for donors. For his Coquitlam talk, the Australian native will give an insider’s look of the VSO and play some of his favourite concertmaster solos like from Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade. • Tickets for Dale Barltrop’s lecture on May 30 at 7 p.m. are $5 plus tax through Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam) by calling 604-6641636 or visiting www.placedesarts.ca. jwarren@tricitynews.com

PoCo Saints chop down Timberman By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News

elaine Fleury photo

SEEING REDS: Coquitlam Reds’ chucker Austin MacDonald winds up during a game against the Victoria Mariners at Mundy Park in Coquitlam Saturday afternoon. The Reds fell 4-1 to the Mariners. The team’s next home game is June 6, when they will play the Abbotsford Cardinals.

Both Tri-City junior A lacrosse clubs were in action at home on Sunday night, with the PoCo Saints having a better showing than the Coquitlam Adanacs. The Saints took on the Nanaimo Timbermen at the PoCo Rec Centre in an early evening game. PoCo’s Matt Delmonico racked up some early points — a goal and two assists — in the opening frame, which ended in a 4-4 draw. The second period saw a dustup at the 13-minute mark between PoCo’s Max Weselowski and Nanaimo’s Nick Sanderson. Both players were ejected from the game, each receiving a 10-minute misconduct and an additional seven penalty minutes for roughing and fighting. PoCo managed to shut down the Timbermen in third period, with Delmonico pounding out three goals in six minutes for a game total of five, sending the Saints to a 14-10 victory. The Adanacs weren’t as lucky in their matchup against the Victoria Shamrocks. Coquitlam did have a one-goal advantage at the end of the first period, before their defense started to unravel. Victoria’s

The Coquitlam Adanacs lost to the Victoria Shamrocks 15-8 on Sunday night. Chris Wardle, one of the league’s point leaders, added four goals and an assist to his collection in the second frame alone. The game took an aggressive turn halfway through the third period when Coquitlam’s Ryan Ishikawa and his opponent, Victoria’s Max Cullen, racked up game misconducts and a slew of other penalties for fighting. After the final buzzer, Victoria claimed the 15-8 victory over the Adanacs. In other Adanacs’ news, the organization announced on Monday that it will be retiring former Adanacs’ player Trevor Wingrove’s jersey during a home game on June 5. Wingrove, a builder of lacrosse and community in Coquitlam, passed away in 2010 after a battle with cancer.

Tri-City junior Eagles come close in field hockey finals By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News

The Tri-City Eagles played host and first place contender for the B.C. girls’ U-16 field hockey club championship at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Stadium last weekend. There were 12 teams from the Lower Mainland and

Vancouver Island competing in the 26-game tournament spread over two days. After netting three wins and no losses for the weekend, the Tri-City Storm earned a berth in the final matchup against Richmond on Sunday afternoon. The game ended in a draw and went to a shootout, in

which the Storm lost 3-2. Storm coaches Jenna Imai and Natalie Kinloch, who have been with the girls since they were U-11 players, saw only the silver lining after the loss. “It’s our first medal,” exclaimed Imai of the Storm’s silver finish. “We didn’t know what to expect coming into the

tournament. We are very proud of them.” Kinloch had high praise for Storm goalie Lauren Best who stepped into the role at the last minute. “[Lauren] did amazing,” said Kinloch. “She’s not our regular goalie.” The Storm, who will wrap up their season in a few weeks, have a current record of 6-1-1.

The 26Th annual BC ChilDren’s hOsPiTal’s MiraCle WeekenD

BC Children’s Hospital helps kids get care closer to home BC Children’s Hospital has played a big role in Kaitlyn Morovic’s life. The three-yearold was born with Down syndrome and two holes in her heart, and spent the first six weeks of her life in the hospital. Her mother Heather still raves about the care Kaitlyn receives at Children’s while also celebrating the fact that she now has what she calls her “direct link” to BC Children’s in the form of Richmond-based pediatrician Dr. Erik Swartz. “Dr. Swartz has expertise in Kaitlyn’s condition and everything that’s secondary to it,” Morovic says. “Although Children’s is just 20 minutes away, it’s great to be able to get an appointment quickly with Dr. Swartz, and he’s just a few minutes from home.” Swartz works in the General Pediatrics Clinic, which is part of the Child Health Centre at Richmond Hospital. The Child Health Centre was established with $800,000 in support from Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital aimed at ensuring all children in BC have access to a consistent standard of care no matter where in the province they live. The centre is also home to the Early Childhood Mental Health Program and the Noakes Primary Care Maternity Clinic. “The fact that Kaitlyn is able to receive specialized care so close to home is exactly

what we’re looking for,” says Dr. Maureen O’Donnell, executive director of Child Health BC. Child Health BC’s activities took off after Overwaitea Food Group became the lead benefactor with a pledge of $20 million in support in 2007. TELUS and Scotiabank later made gifts of $5 million and $1 million, respectively. This support had an immediate impact, says O’Donnell. Pediatric clinics established with Child Health BC’s support in Nanaimo and Prince George have thousands of patient visits annually; additional travelling clinics are staffed by BC Children’s caregivers in communities across the province; and over 1,000 health professionals have participated in Child Health BC’s workshops. O’Donnell credits Overwaitea Food Group’s donation with Child Health BC’s growgrow ing reach across the province, noting that it’s a perfect fit for an organization with a presence in so many BC communities. Overwaitea Food Group President Darrell Jones agrees. “We’re committed to the health and wellness of kids and families in BC,” says Jones. “We’ve been proud to support BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades – and with the help of our communities, we’ve contributed millions of dollars toward hospital improvement projects,

advocacy programs and important research initiatives. We’re grateful for the amazing support of our local communities, team members, customers and supplier partners who have all played a key role in making this fundraising success possible.” Child Health BC is part of a larger transformation in the way BC’s children receive care, says Larry Gold, president of BC Children’s Hospital and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. The transformation also includes the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. “We want to ensure children have access to a consistent standard of care, whether they live in Smithers, Campbell River or Castlegar; and there will always be children who need care that’s only available in a children’s hospital,” says Gold. BC Children’s Hospital Foundation has raised close to $170 million, including Overwaitea Food Group’s gift and $25 million from Teck Resources Limited, in its $200-million capital campaign to support construction of the new hospital and Child Health BC. Gold says that the new hospital, which will open in 2018, will be family-friendly, making it easier for families from outside the Lower Mainland to remain with their children. Beyond the money being raised for the new hospital and Child Health BC, Gold says the hospital also counts on donations of about $14 million a year to support rere search, equipment purchases and training. On June 1 and 2 BC Children’s Hospital Foundation will hold its annual Miracle Weekend celebration on Global BC, to raise the millions the hospital needs to cover its urgent annual needs. “Every year people from across the provprov ince make donations in support of the hoshos pital and it makes a huge difference,” says Gold. “Kaitlyn Morovic is proof of that.” Heather Morovic says she’s grateful for both the care Kaitlyn receives at BC ChilChil dren’s and the support she gets on a regular basis from Dr. Swartz. “He just gets it,” she says. “And Kaitlyn is doing fantastic. She’s walking and trying hard to talk, and she certainly knows how to pull on the heart strings. With BC Children’s and Dr. Swartz on our side, we couldn’t ask for a better support team.”

BC Children’s Hospital treated over 81,000 children last year. Approximately 67 per cent of those children came from outside the City of Vancouver.

JUNE 1 & 2, 2013 On June 1 and 2, tune in to Miracle Weekend, broadcast live from BC Children’s Hospital, on Global BC from 7:00pm on Saturday, June 1 until 5:30pm on Sunday, June 2 Thee 26th annual BC Children’s Hospital’s Miracle Weekend is a two-day celebration that showcases the best of BC Children’s Hospital: patients, their families, caregivers and supporters who come from every corner of BC. BC Children’s Hospital receives over 200,000 visits from patients from across the province every year. Donations help the hospital deliver the best in care every day, and are helping to prepare for the future by supporting the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital and better access to care for children in or close to their home communities. Please support BC Children’s Hospital.

At the Overwaitea Food Group, we’re very proud of our longstanding commitment to investing in the health of kids and their families. We’re grateful to everyone who supports us in this effort. Our team members, customers and suppliers have all played a key role in our fundraising success over the years. We’ve been supporting BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades, and we’ve raised millions of dollars in support of capital improvement projects, important research initiatives and advocacy programs designed to help keep our kids safe by reducing preventable injuries. In 2007, we made a $20 million pledge to support Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital that helps get kids in BC get the care they need, closer to home. Since then, we’ve raised more than $10.7 million toward our goal, and Child Health BC has been able to put this concept into action in a number of communities throughout BC. We are grateful for the amazing commitment and fund raising efforts driven by OFG team members who encourage the generosity of our customers and suppliers.

Restaurant of the Month Rogues Bar & Grill

Food with a view. Our restaurant of the month trades noisy roads and crowded buildings for stunning vistas and green fairways. Take a trip up the mountain and enjoy the sights and tastes of Rogues Bar & Grill at the Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club. This hidden gem is a popular spot with Plateau residents and Tri-City locals. The restaurant is actually named after Plateau resident, and one of the very first caddies on the PGA Tour, ‘Rogue’. Rogue’s passion for golf and love of being around good people was the perfect inspiration for this neighbourhood restaurant. You can still spot Rogue around the club enjoying an afternoon coffee, tinkering with golf clubs at the Academy Golf Shop, or caddying for one of our up-and-coming juniors. Open to the public 7 days a week, Rogues Bar & Grill offers unbelievable value for an incredible menu. Most items are priced in the mid-teens and the food is top quality. Choose from a wide selection of appies, mains and desserts or head up for Pasta Nights on Wednesday and Thursday and Prime Rib Nights on Friday and Saturday. With such value and quality, Rogues is the perfect spot for date night, family night, or a bite after a day on the green.

Chamber News Opinion

The Month in Photos

Embracing the PST

The reimplementation of the PST/GST system has removed transparency from business costs. PST is not recoverable on expenses consumed in operating a business so it becomes a cost of business. This increase is passed down to consumers through the price of products and services. Remove PST and the cost of business becomes more transparent. While the cost of some things is lower at the till - a meal for example (PST exempt), the cost of getting the meal to the table is higher. There is PST/GST on the lights, the dishes, etc. PST adds 7% to many of the operating costs. Someone is paying for this increase and it is you, the one eating the meal.

The largest impact PST has on business is on the investment of capital – the machinery and equipment required to run the business. For example a vehicle to deliver the goods now has PST/GST charged on the purchase – of which only the GST is recoverable. This is a disincentive to business investment and may deter businesses looking for a place to establish.

PST is a very cumbersome act which is constantly changing. In order to ensure that you are correctly charging PST as a business owner, you must be constantly reviewing bulletins on your specific industry. Administrating changes are time consuming and costly as is retooling computers and training the staff; all costs a business could do without. However much I dislike the PST/GST system, it now exists in our province and must be embraced. There are some improvements that are noteworthy. The due date is now compatible with GST filings, access on-line is available and refunds are easier. Now that we have made our choice of government known, let’s let them know we mean business in BC. Ask for tax reform or better yet, a return to HST. After all, there was talk of a lower the tax rate!
