SD43 layoffs & strike? CUPE workers to take strike vote as 51 are laid off By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A new Surrey-Coquitlam bridge bypassing New Westminster is one of six recommended options TransLink has unveiled to replace the aging Pattullo Bridge. Whatever option is chosen, however, TransLink has said the new span will likely be tolled.

Job cuts and a strike vote are looming for School District 43 support staff, and both could affect the schools and students they serve. Dave Ginter, president of CUPE Local 561, which represents district

non-teaching staff, says this is the worst year for job cuts in a long time as 51 of his members face layoffs so SD43 can balance its 2013/’14 budget. Morale is plummeting, Ginter said, as “bumping” begins, in which workers with seniority can “bump” newer workers. “There’s a lot of anxiety,” he said. “People are worried if they are going to be able to keep their job.” The layoffs are taking place as approximately 1,500 Local 561 mem-

bers who work in SD43 schools take a strike vote in response to what the union is calling a lack of progress at the bargaining table.They are among 27,000 CUPE public school workers taking strike votes across the province. Ginter said he expected to inform School District 43 yesterday (Tuesday) that a strike vote would be taken by the end of June. If the majority of CUPE members who vote approve job ac-

tion, workers would have 90 days to consider going on strike — which would stretch into September, when school resumes after the summer break. “There is nothing happening at the provincial and nothing at local tables,” Ginter said, “Now, we’re escalating it.” In all, SD43 is expected to cut 142 positions this year — about 6% of its staff — and $12.5 million from its budget next year to balance it. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

New crossing could link Surrey, Coquitlam Options for new Pattullo Bridge all come with tolls

OPEN HOUSE

• Public open houses are set for June 6, 11 and 15 in New Westminster and June 8, 12, and 13 in Surrey, with additional small group meetings also scheduled in both cities. For more details, see pattullobridgereview.ca.

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

A new Surrey-toCoquitlam bridge bypassing New Westminster is one of six recommended options TransLink has unveiled to replace the aging Pattullo Bridge that could profoundly change traffic patterns in the region. The options were released Monday as part of a new round of public consultation this month. And no matter which option is chosen, TransLink’s review of them suggests the replacement span will be tolled. “Costs of $1 billion would be recoverable through user fees,” the report states, adding that a crossing costing more than that would need senior government contributions as well. The most unusual option studied was a possible new four-lane Tree Island crossing well downstream of the Queensborough Bridge. It would have offered a more direct DeltaBurnaby connection that would have taken traffic from the Alex Fraser Bridge in a near straight line over the Fraser’s north arm, instead of

While two options released by TransLink for the Pattullo Bridge don’t call for a new bridge at all, one possibility for replacing the aging structure would see a new span over the Fraser River from Surrey to the area of Highway 1’s Brunette interchange in Coquitlam. splitting either left to Richmond or right to Queensborough. B u t Tr a n s L i n k ’ s screening review found it wouldn’t serve the existing Surrey-New Westminster traffic, and Burnaby and Richmond fear more agricultural and industrial land would be lost. It would act more as an alternative to the Queensborough Bridge than the Pattullo, the review said, but most motorists won’t pay the tolls

to cover the $825-million cost of a bridge there if the Queensborough is free. Two options don’t call for a new bridge at all but rehabilitation of the existing Pattullo for safer three- or four-lane use at a cost of $330 million to $400 million, also funded by tolls. Both would improve seismic and structural safety but risks of head-on crashes would continue as there would be no median barrier in either the three-lane

Evergreen work ramps up at Lougheed station Construction is set to begin on a second Evergreen Line station early this month. The Evergreen Line will tie into the existing SkyTrain system at Lougheed Town Centre Station in Burnaby, servicing travel to and from Port Moody and Coquitlam when the line is complete in the summer of 2016. S ky Tr a i n u s e r s can expect to see temporary fencing around work zones, construction parking

and offices, daytime construction running Mondays through Saturdays between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., and the use of heavy machinery. Work will be taking place near the west station entrance at Austin Avenue and Lougheed Highway, as well as near the bus loop south of Gatineau Place. The upper west station entrance will be closed the week of June 10 and will remain closed through-

out the construction period. Access to the lower west station will remain open. Work on the Moody Centre Station started last week, with changes to the West Coast Express parking lot to accommodate a new exit route and a new parking lot to the east. Work is also ongoing in Port Moody to prepare for tunnelling just off Barnet Highway near View Street. spayne@tricitynews.com

counterflow or four-lane configuration. An all-new bridge near the existing one — either four, five or six lanes — would better resist a moderate quake, river scour or ship collision, all of which could knock the existing 75-year-old span out of service. The costs of those three options range from $820 million for four lanes to $1.1 billion for six. An eight-lane option was ruled out as attract-

ing too much traffic and running counter to goals to move more people by cycling, walking and transit. The five- and sixlane options may spur more auto-oriented development than four lanes, it said. A last option recommended for more study offers a new four-lane Surrey-Coquitlam bridge while also rehabilitating the old Pattullo for twoor three-lane use. That would cost an estimated $1.4 to $1.5

billion and run from King George Boulevard through Surrey’s Bridgeview neighbourhood across to Braid Street and Highway 1’s Brunette interchange. It lets traffic bypass New Westminster, going the farthest to address Royal City concerns there about worsening congestion. “Travel times and reliability would improve for most users,” the report said. “Goods movement would likely benefit over-

all, given more direct connections to Highway 1, United Boulevard and the northeast sector.” TransLink’s review recommends against simply dismantling the current bridge or converting it to either a twolane bridge or one for cyclists and pedestrians only. Doing so would cause much heavier truck congestion at other crossings, it said. Also panned were four-lane tunnel scenarios on the existing route ($2.9 billion to $4.8 billion) and four or sixlane bridge options at Sapperton Bar ($1.7 billion to $3.1 billion.) Spokesperson Patricia MacNeil said the issue of tolling isn’t yet settled and TransLink wants public feedback on all studied options, not just the recommended ones, to see if “we are on the right track.” jnagel@blackpress.ca

2 searches in 3 days in Tri-Cities The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam Search and Rescue members were called out to Eagle Mountain for an earlymorning mission yesterday (Tuesday) to rescue four men who’d been stranded. Search manager Michael Coyle said the crew was called at 3 a.m. to rescue the group. The men believed they were at Cypress Lake but it turned out they were actually at Westview Point, which is directly above Buntzen Lake and about a two-hour walk from the top of Plateau Boulevard in Coquitlam. Two SAR members went up on their eightwheel Argo, which was then used to jump-start the group’s ATV, and then followed the group down. “At some point, their drive train broke so we ended up towing them the rest of the way down,” Coyle said. ATVs and 4x4s are “technically allowed”

tri-city newS FiLe PHOtO

Coquitlam Search and Rescue volunteers used a helicopter Sunday to find a group of lost hikers.

Coyle said, but the trail isn’t maintained and has become extremely rough over the years. “We’ve rescued 4x4 people up there for the last 10 years and it’s one of the reasons we bought our Argo,”he added. The group didn’t call for help until the middle of the night because they’d lit a fire and tried to fix the ATV themselves. “They were smart — they didn’t try to hike down in the dark by themselves,”Coyle said. Tuesday morning’s rescue was the second on Eagle Mountain in just a few days. On Sunday evening, members were called just after 5:30 p.m. by a group of six hikers on the Swan Falls trail. They were located by helicopter a short time later; SAR members hiked in and met up with the group partway down the trail and guided them back down the mountain.

More help for women at expanded Joy’s Place population increased by 137%. Now, Tri-City Transitions has grown and delivers programs for men as well as women and children with the goal of breaking the cycle of violence. “I am excited to provide services in the community where it is needed,”Metz Murray. Meanwhile, Mandi Sellers, one of the founders of Glow, which organizes networking events and accountability groups for women, as well as promoting communications and negotiating skills and education for girls, urged members of the audience to support the new Joy’s Place with donations. In all, the Glow event raised more than $3,000 that will be used to furnish two of the rooms in the new Joy’s Place.

See why 2 of Jane's patients believe in acupuncture: • Lady Lily, 76 years old, came to this clinic complaining of ten years of migraine headaches. She tried to get help from her family doctor and was given a medication for two pills a day and had now taken a total of ten pills. Acupuncture was done on her over five visits and now her symptoms are gone and she feels no more migraine headaches.

• Mr. Daniel, an eighty one year old gentleman, who is living in Coquitlam was suffering from an

enlarged prostate gland. This is a general phenomenon in older men. He suffers from frequent visits to the bathroom, mostly at night, sometimes up to 10 times a night. After three visits to this clinic together with Chinese herbal medicine, he felt the symptoms had gone and he doesn't have the urgency to visit the bathroom often.

Tri-City Transitions is about to sign a deal for a new transition house that would provide more beds and housing for women, and their children, fleeing domestic abuse. Carol Metz Murray, the agency’s executive director, made the announcement Friday night at a Coquitlam women’s networking event and fundraiser. The final details have yet to be worked out and the location of the new transition house can’t be disclosed for security reasons but Metz Murray announced the current 10-bed Joy’s Place would be replaced by the new facility in the coming months. Once it is open, the new Joy’s Place would provide four more beds, for a total of 14, and six units of second-stage housing to help give women a safe, secure transition back to the community.

A Coquitlam teenager who already has nearly 50 run-ins with police under his belt is now facing an assault charge after an incident outside a New Westminster SkyTrain station last weekend. At about 10 p.m. on Saturday, May 25, according to Transit Police, the alleged victim was standing at a bus stop outside the Braid station when he saw a group of teens, including three girls and one boy, start to kick the nearby bike lockers. When he asked the kids to stop, police allege, the Coquitlam teen started yelling at him to back off, saying he was on drugs, and then went towards the victim with a knife in his hand. According to Transit Police, the victim defended himself by kicking the boy and grabbing his cell phone. The boy ran away with the man’s briefcase; when the victim tried to retrieve it, he was punched in the face by one of the girls, who also ran away. Witnesses told police the teens jumped on the train and appeared to be heading to Lougheed Station. Transit Police found the briefcase in a garbage can at the Braid Station but could not locate the suspects. A Transit Police officer spotted two of the teens matching the suspects’ descriptions at Lougheed Station at about 1 a.m. Sunday and both were arrested. The Coquitlam youth has since been charged with assault with a weapon and theft under $5,000; he remains in custody with his next scheduled court appearance on June 11. He’s also charged with breaching his release conditions in relation to two prior robbery charges. The 14-year-old’s nearly 50 prior contacts with police involve offences such as theft, drugs and robberies. The female suspect was released with charges pending further investigation. spayne@tricitynews.com

Call Mounties to take unwanted guns Coquitlam cops part of B.C.-wide gun amnesty By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Tri-City residents who are looking to unload unwanted guns or ammunition can do so — safely — at the Coquitlam RCMP detachment during this month’s province-wide gun amnesty. Cpl. Jamie Chung said Tri-City residents can surrender unwanted or even illegally owned firearms, weapons and ammunition and the police will not recommend weapons-related Criminal Code charges that might otherwise apply. “However, there is no amnesty for people who turn in weapons that have been used in the commission of a crime,” he added. The amnesty is intended to reduce the number of firearms in the community and enhance public safety by preventing potential gun-related accidents or thefts during residential break-andenters. People who own or have inherited a gun that may have historical significance and who don’t want to turn it in can visit

the RCMP’s national website (www.rcmp-grc. gc.ca/cfp-pcaf) for information on how to properly license and store it. Anyone planning to surrender their weapons or ammunition should follow these steps: • Call 604-945-1550 to arrange for a police officer to come to your home for a pick-up. Do not bring firearms or ammunition to the Coquitlam RCMP detachment or to any

community police station. • When the officer comes to the door to pick up your item(s), do not bring them to the door. Show the officer where the firearms and/or ammunition are kept. Any type of unregistered gun can be turned in during the amnesty as well as imitation and pellet weapons or other dangerous weapons, such as registered guns, pepper spray and knives.

will be destroyed, although a small number may be kept for police training purposes. spayne@tricitynews.com

Ending bullying starts with kids talking to one another, says Carol Todd, which is why the Port Coquitlam anti-bullying advocate is supporting the planned expansion of the Red Cross’ Beyond the Hurt Program into schools across Canada. On Monday, Canadian Heritage Minister and Tri-City MP James Moore announced funding to encourage more young people to take the program, which promotes greater understanding and awareness of the dynamics of bullying. Todd told The TriCity News that she applauds efforts to use social media, forums and peer facilitator training to get young people talking about the issue and learning how to prevent it. “It’s a really good initiative. We know our [school] district is doing it and it has really shown good results,” said Todd, a teacher and the mother of Amanda Todd, who committed suicide last fall after dealing with bullying and mental health issues. Moore said $250,000 in funding from the Youth Take Charge program will be used to train 2,400 facilitators, aged 13 to 17, to deliver prevention workshops and other activities to other young people. There will also be three youth-led forums, including one in B.C., to encourage kids to take action against bullying and discrimination in their communities, and a web portal set up so youth can share their stories. “The kids love it,” said Todd of the Beyond the Hurt program, which has already been implemented in School District 43 schools. “My thing is that kids get tired of listening to adults. When it comes to peers talking to peers, and young kids looking up to older kids, it makes an impact and it makes a difference.” She said it makes sense to expand a program that has already been shown to work and congratulated the federal government for taking an initiative after she and other parents who lost children to bullying and suicide met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “It may not solve the whole problem [but] it’s all about prevention and making kids more aware,”Todd said. She is now waiting

Ask taxpayers

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

ort Coquitlam had some very good reasons for not handing back $420,000 collected from taxpayers in error last year or using that unexpected surplus to reduce the budget next year. But given the spotlight on budget deficits, debt and taxation in the recent provincial election as well as last week’s Big Spenders report on the so-called bloating of city spending in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver over the last 12 years, you would think more people would be outraged. Instead, the response in PoCo seems to be a big yawn. But that doesn’t mean people don’t care. More likely, they are simply resigned to the fact that taxes, like death, are simply part of life and they rarely, if ever, go down. It’s true that sending off a cheque to every household would cost more in time and money than the payout would likely be worth (about $17 based on the reduction to this year’s property taxes). Putting the money down on next year’s costs would seem to be a good idea but, as the city points out, it would be a one-time deal that would be unsustainable. Instead, the money will be used to pay for other probably worthwhile things, such as closed-circuit video equipment for the RCMP. As well, with the 1% error (a duplication of its infrastructure levy ) factored in, taxpayers will pay less in taxes than originally expected this year (a 2.84% increase instead of 3.7%). It’s also true that PoCo shaved off numerous expenses to minimize the tax hike. For example, the city won’t groom baseball diamonds as often and proposals to increase fire and police staffing were reduced or nixed. Nobody is saying PoCo is gouging residents, especially after this year’s painful budget limiting exercise, but more questions remain: What can be done to prevent the error from happening again and could the city have been more transparent in dealing with the issue? PoCo must continue to be scrupulous in keeping the public informed and, if possible, should ask those who forked over the cash how they would like to see the surplus spent.

Enbridge pipeline issue isn’t dead yet BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA ne of Premier Christy Clark’s first jobs of the new term will be to resume trade talks with Alberta and Saskatchewan. Several daunting tasks await. Clark must repair relations with Alberta Premier Alison Redford after B.C.’s theatrics over oil pipelines before the election and prepare for the results of a federal environmental review of the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal in the fall. Some people were surprised last Friday when the B.C. government released its final written submission to the federal environmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as B.C.’s outright rejection of the project but it’s not as simple as that. Clark and B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake signalled several times before the elec-

tion that they were not getting the answers they wanted from Enbridge but they stuck to the principle that the hearings must be completed. The NDP repeated for months that the BC Liberal government had forfeited its own review and handed jurisdiction over the environmental assessment to Ottawa. In fact, a pipeline that runs across two provinces is, by definition, a matter of federal jurisdiction. B.C. could have held its own parallel set of hearings, which was the NDP’s stated preference, but in no circumstance does the province have a veto. And both the BC Liberal government and Enbridge were careful to leave the door open for further talks. A closer reading of their comments shows that the key difference at this stage is one of timing. “The panel must determine if it is appropriate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the certificate is granted,”Lake said.“Our government does not

believe that a certificate should be granted before these important questions are answered.” According to Enbridge executive Janet Holder, those important questions can’t all be answered until the hearings are over. The company maintains that every river crossing and spill response plan can’t be done in detail during the two-year hearings. B.C.’s final submission runs to nearly 100 pages. It goes into detail on the inconsistencies and unanswered questions on such vital topics as whether diluted bitumen can sink in water. In short, the province argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water or if it is exposed to weathering so lighter fractions evaporate, or if it is mixed with sediments that increase its density. These are pertinent conditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in springtime, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilderness and heavy snow. Given both provincial and aboriginal oppo-

sition in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed, and last week Conservative cabinet minister James Moore, a Tri-City MLA, clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has consistently maintained the current project does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five conditions, including the vaguely defined“fair share”of revenues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions. The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and populated areas for 60 years? Does the government take a stand against new pipelines and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is required for that, and in fact there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.

TRI-CITY LETTERS

Plenty of green – before The Editor, Re. “Partington Plan clears first hurdle after council vote” (The Tri-City News, May 29). I had to shake my head in total bewilderment when I read about the draft for the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain getting approval for the first reading and then to continue reading that some city councillors are voicing concerns about the lack of green space in the neighbourhood, where housing density will be high. They can’t be serious, can they? They had acres and acres of green space until a few years ago, when thousands of trees were felled to make way for this huge development on Burke Mountain and the cookie-cutter homes that sit there now. And to leave out of the plans the green space? I guess cramming thousands of homes into this once beautiful area was more important than saving the green spaces. Michelle Clayton, Coquitlam

SD43 looking for land for new Burke Mt. elementary school By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

A long-awaited elementary school on Burke Mountain may be closer to reality as School District 43 begins to cast a net for property in the area. Although funds have yet to be approved for Smiling Creek elementary, the district is looking for a realtor to do the land assembly. “The purpose of the realtor is to help us acquire a site,” explained Ivano Cecchini, a school district facilities planner. The district already has land for a secondary school on Burke Mountain, acquired through a land exchange with the provincial government, but as yet nothing has been set aside for Smiling Creek. “We’re trying to get it [the school] underway as soon as possible,” Cecchini said. According to an expression of interest filed with BCBid, the school district is looking for an experienced licensed realtor with extensive knowledge of development plans for northeast

Admins on the move Some new faces will be running Tri-City public schools starting in September with the recent release of principal and vice-principal appointments for the next school year. The following School District 43 administrative appointments are effective July 1: • At the elementary level, Michele Reid will move from acting principal at Harbour View to principal at Mary Hill; Marsha Arnold will move from vice-principal to acting principal at Mountain View; and Cari-Lee Denton, former vice-principal at R.C. MacDonald, will be the new vice-principal at Panorama Heights. • Middle schools will see some changes, too: Margaret Mary Deck will move from vice-principal at Eagle Ridge elementary to vice-principal at Scott Creek; Kirk Deutschmann moves from vice-principal at Glenayre elementary to viceprincipal at Citadel; Stefan Lageston moves from vice-principal at Minnekhada to vice-principal at Hillcrest; and Mike Slinger moves from vice-principal at Scott Creek to vice-principal at Sir Frederick Banting. Meanwhile, Margo McKnight, principal at Mary Hill elementary, will be retiring and Craig Reitchel, who has been working as vice-principal at Banting, will return to retirement.

Coquitlam. Smiling Creek elementary is one of three elementary schools planned for the fast-growing area. The school district would like to see it open by 2016 for 350 to 400 students.

Other Burke Mountain schools are: Partington Creek elementary in 2021, the new Burke Mountain secondary in 2023, then another new elementary school (on Marigold Street in the

But the dates aren’t written in stone and depend on funding and enrolment. According to the district, the newly developed area has more young children than was originally expected. In all, between 2,594 and 3,100 students could be moving into the area in the next 15 to 20 years, according to projections, adding between 8% and 10% to the district’s current enrolment of about 30,000 students. Meanwhile, the planned roll-out of new communities on Burke Mountain continues. On Monday, city council gave first reading to the draft Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan (PCNP), a proposal to add up to 15,000 new residents on Burke’s eastern

Survivor cycling for a cure Coquitlam man collects teammates to take on cancer bike rid By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News

oquitlam’s Kevin Cameron didn’t have to scrounge for teammates to join him on a charity bike ride for cancer research — the disease that strikes two in five Canadians has a twisted way of uniting people. “It’s kind of interesting when bad things happen, we meet people who are like–minded,”says Cameron, 49, a stage four cancer survivor. “We understand that we are not alone in these struggles.”

THE DIAGNOSIS

Cancer wasn’t on Cameron’s radar three years ago.The then 250– pound hobbyist weightlifter was the picture of health, or so he thought. “I had a persistent cough,”recalls Cameron. “In typical male fashion, I shrugged it off — until the pain started.” Meanwhile, cancer was metastasizing in the lymph nodes below the surface of his“thick neck.”One particularly determined tumour had wrapped itself around a main nerve in Cameron’s neck. “Sitting in the [doctor’s] office, the last words I expected to hear were ‘You have cancer,’” says Cameron, who remembers turning around to see if the doctor was talking to someone else. Surgery wasn’t an option as it would have required hollowing out large sections of his neck and jaw. Instead, he says his doctor told him,“’We are going to hit you with the most toxic form of chemo.’” “I had to have a feeding tube surgically installed in order to gain any nutrition as my neck and throat were too badly burned to eat or swallow. I have no saliva glands anymore as they were destroyed by the radiation, and the challenges with my dental program are very complicated from radiation damage as well.The lack of saliva makes the long-distance bike riding a little more difficult but I just have to drink more water than most. “I can’t really describe what it’s like,”he says of

IN QUOTES

“At stage IV, the overall prognosis was about 20% survival. I am now two and a half years in remission and have a three-year goal. Achieving three years cancer free will dramatically improve my statistical numbers we so often measure for survival.” Kevin Cameron (left with brother Brad, above before he got sick, below left with the Motley Crew, his Ride to Conquer Cancer team) ABOVE & BELOW: MARIA SPITALE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS; RIGHT: SUBMITTED PHOTO

the effects of the treatment.“I basically say, ‘I threw up for nine months.’” He puts the experience another way, saying otherwise healthy people who are fatigued might collapse on the couch but, for him, it was like he was sinking into the floorboards. There was also a drastic change in appearance for him to contend with: a 112 lb. weight loss. Languishing on the couch, feeling the effects of the chemotherapy killing his cancer, Cameron glimpsed an advertisement on TV for the Ride to Conquer Cancer. At the time, he couldn’t even climb the stairs but he told his wife,“I’m going to do that”and“that goal helped me get off my butt and start my healing.”

THE RIDE

Cameron didn’t have the dexterity to ride a

bike around the block, let alone 100 km in a single outing before he got sick. “I was so big and bulky, and didn’t have much flexibility,”he explains. He laughs, recalling his performance in last year’s 200-km, two-day Ride to Conquer Cancer — a major feat for a man who was celebrating his first year of being cancer free. “It hurt a lot — 16 Advils got me through those two days,”he says.

This year, Cameron is back at it again, training and fundraising for the June 15 and 16 mass bike ride fromVancouver to Seattle. Over the past two years, he has collected teammates at random — all of them connected by cancer. “The rules have changed, you don’t have to be a heavy drinker or smoker [to get cancer],” says Cameron.“It’s at-

tacking everyone. I had no risk factors.” Cameron met one female rider while she was climbing a big hill and learned her aunt and uncle were in treatment for cancer together. His brother Brad is the obligatory family member on the team. “[Kevin’s diagnosis] was tough for the whole family,”recalls Brad Cameron.“When we found out it was a 50-50

chance of survival for him, it was too much.” And it was fellow teammate Susan Fiedler’s well–documented feistiness in her battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that struck a chord with Cameron. Perhaps it was the unapologetic way the jewelry designer emblazoned an epithet on a delicate silver bracelet to express how she was feeling:“F Cancer.” Fiedler sells the bracelets as part of her F Cancer Embrace Life initiative (www. fcancerembracelife. com), which has raised more than $150,000 for InspireHealth, a cancer care centre inVancouver andVictoria. “I came across her website and saw what she was doing,”says Cameron of how Fiedler came to be on his cycling team.“I connected with Susan’s message.” So much so that

Cameron had the words from the bracelet permanently tattooed on the arm that his chemo drip went into. Now, the Motley Crew — that’s Cameron’s Ride to Conquer Cancer team name — meets every week in a quiet residential area behind Fremont Village shopping complex in Port Coquitlam. From there, the group always ends up cycling over the Golden Ears Bridge into Langley because the roads are easy to negotiate. Next week, when the Ride to Conquer Cancer cyclists depart, the Motley Crew will have raised close to $30,000 for cancer research in B.C. • For more information or to donate on behalf of Cameron’s team visit the Ride to Conquer Cancer’s website, va13. conquercancer.ca. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Choosing the Right Camp

Paradise for budding scientists Being in a stimulating environment and being surrounded by enthusiastic experts are the greatest motivators for children to spend time at summer camp. That is why so many specialized camps are now available, and thereâ€™s certainly no shortage of choice for budding scientists. When children are passionate about a subject it is very important to encourage them. Sciences take up only a very small part of school curriculums, so young science fans are ecstatic when they are given the chance during their summer vacations to deepen their knowledge, carry out experiments, and see a whole new world of discovery opening up before their eyes. Many specialized science camps now exist and offer a wide range of activities connected to this

fascinating subject. Workshops, demonstrations, group activities, and experiments are always on the menu. These science camps often concentrate on very specific areas such as astronomy, physics, computer sciences, or archaeology. For parents who feel that their children may suffer from an academic overdose, they should realize that a camp is considered to be specialized if they offer two hours of a specific subject every day. That means thereâ€™s plenty of time during the rest of the day to have fun and run off some energy! Because summer camps are increasingly popular these days, it is important to register early to get a place, no matter what interests your child may have.

Many specialized science camps now exist with a wide range of activities on the menu.

Summer camps: lots of fun guaranteed!

Summer camps: something for everyone.

Opt for adventure for your children this summer and register them for summer camp. When theyâ€™re ready for the experience, spending a few nights away from home to attend summer camp is a great way to develop a childâ€™s social skills and sense of independence. They are also sure to have fun, meet lifelong friends, and discover a multitude of activities. Summer camps welcome children

aged 3 to 17 for stays that vary from six days to all summer and include lodging, meals, and full supervision for outdoor and creative activities. Traditional summer camps generally offer programs centred on sports and outdoor activities, such as hiking and canoeing, swimming, soccer, and camping under the stars. They are also usually geared toward cultivating in the child an appreciation for the

natural environment. All these activities give children the opportunity to develop physical aptitudes, team spirit, self-confidence, and resourcefulness, among other things. Some camps offer more specialized programs and might be oriented around

Before enrolling a child in a specific summer camp, parents should ensure that the person in charge is familiar with learning disabilities and the special needs of children with this type of difficulty.

Teens, race to read these books A GOOD READ Dana Ionson

hen required reading stops, reading for fun begins. Here are a few books for teens to get lost in this summer: • Eleanor and Park by Rowell Rainbow (2013): Eleanor isn’t the type of girl who would fall in love on a school bus — but she does. Eleanor has just returned home. Kicked out a year ago by her mother’s abusive boyfriend, Eleanor has good reasons to want to keep her head down. Park is a half-Korean teen in a predominantly white neighbourhood. He does well at school, diligently goes to karate practice but can’t seem to live up to his father’s expectations. Every day, Eleanor and Park sit side-by-side on the bus without saying a word until Park notices Eleanor reading his comics over his shoulder. Soon, their daily ritual of reading together becomes much more. This sweet and heartbreaking romance will win the interest of any romanceloving teen. • Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater (2011): Life in the small community on Thisby island revolves around the races. Each fall, the bravest islanders try to capture a water horse and survive the training to ride in the race. Water horses are dangerous, unpredictable and carnivorous but the prize for the fastest rider is more money than most islanders make during an entire year. Four-time winner Sean Kendrick doesn’t take his skill for granted. He’s focused on winning while keeping an eye on inexperienced riders; this group includes Kate Connelly. Kate needs the money, badly. Despite a promise to her late parents to never race, Kate enters hoping to keep herself and her brothers in their home. Stivfvater’s thrilling take on the myth of the kelpie, a Celtic folktale, will keep readers racing to keep up to the powerful beasts. • Flip by Martyn Bedford (2011): One morning, Alex wakes up in another boy’s body six months in the future. Gradually, Alex finds out more about the boy whose body he is inexplicably inhabiting. Philip — or Flip, as he’s known — is athletic, handsome and popular. Alex is at once enjoying it and terrified. As Flip, Alex’s asthma is gone, he’s taller, leaner and has two girlfriends. In his old body, Alex had never kissed a girl and now they’re lining up. Despite these perks, he has to get back to his old life. But how? And

who will believe him? At times funny and sad, this is a refreshing telling of a familiar tale. • Boy21 by Matthew Quick (2012): Living in Bellmont, a Philadelphia neighbourhood plagued by gangs, drugs and racial tensions, Finley stays sane in an otherwise insane world thanks to basketball. All summer, he has been working out and shooting hoops, preparing for his last year on the varsity basketball team. Russ, a teen from California, used to be a basketball star until the gruesome murder of his parents caused him to have a psychotic break. Now, Russ is living with his grandparents in Bellmont. Russ withdraws from reality and answers only to the name Boy21, his former basketball number. Finley’s basketball coach has asked Finley to help Russ, hoping that Russ will be able to carry the team to the championship. Finley can hardly keep his own life under control — how can the coach expect him to take on a tragic nut-

case like Boy21? • The Diviners by Libba Bray (2012): Set in America in the 1920s, The Diviners is the story of a typical teenager with an unusual gift. Pretty and outspoken, Evie O’Neil is an easy object for the affection of others, especially men. Her parents have had enough. To teach Evie a lesson, they send her to live with her uncle in Manhattan. Although her parents

meant this as a punishment, Evie is thrilled. Exploring the city’s speakeasies, dance-halls and movie houses will be so thrilling compared to her life in Ohio. Evie’s carefree existence comes to a halt when Evie and her uncle are implicated in a series of murders in NewYork. Evie’s special power could solve the murder but will exposing herself lead to more trouble? Teens will get lost in

this jaunty, supernatural mystery. Ask at your local public library for these books and other suggestions.

A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Dana Ionson is a librarian and summer reading club coordinator at Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Library.

RCH cardiologist led with his heart Dr. Tom Godwin, who passed away last month, was a fervent advocate for patients, and was known for his kindness to all whose path he crossed

r. Tom Godwin never did things in half-measure. Not at home where he helped raise four sons with his wife of 52 years, Elaine. Not in his choice of dog, a succession of 200-pound English mastiffs. Not at his 120-acre farm in Surrey where he tended up to 110 head of cattle. Not at work, where he established the cardiac program and Royal Columbian Hospital (RCH) and his innovation of the cardiac catheterization lab and open-heart surgery programs helped lead the New Westminster hospital to become one of the top care centers for heart patients in the country. Godwin, who passed away in April, was driven by an undeniable passion to help people, and to do the right thing, says his son David. “He loved what he did. He had an unbelievable work ethic.” That was apparent as soon as he was hired as the only cardiologist at RCH in 1968, seven years after graduating from medical school at the University of Toronto. In his first 18 months on the job, he took one day off. “He gave his life to the When Dr. Tom Godwin was hired at Royal Columbian Hospital in 1968, he was the hospital,” says David. “His only cardiologist on staff.

Some were was living and there was nothing he could do for observations. Some were strident opinions her. He thought it was awful.” about the level of care offered patients, gaps in Godwin’s caring attitude extended beyond the medical system, social issues. He figured his patients, to his colleagues in the doctors’

lounge, the nurses, and the cleaning staff who mopped the floors. He even took care in writing out prescriptions and instructions in neat, legible script so they could be easily read by pharmacists. Godwin “was always highly respected by his colleagues and idolized by his patients and staff,” says Fair. “He didn’t think he was better Did you know? than anyone else,” says David. • RCH’s Cardiac Centre is “He drove the oldest car in the among the best in Canada. doctor’s parking lot and he was Show them your support quite proud of that.” by purchasing a heart tile In fact most of Godwin’s family for the Cardiac Wall of was oblivious to his pioneering Gratitude. medical accomplishments at Visit rchcares.com for more RCH until after he was forced information. into retirement by illness in 1996. “He was so modest about all that stuff,” says David.

Dr. Godwin’s wife, Elaine, displays a heart tile at RCH in honour of her husband. “Tom advocated for the good health of his patients and the hospital,” she says.

Student work in galleries By Janis Warren

The Tri-CiTy NeWs

hey’ve been working with teachers on their craft all year. Now, it’s time for their work to shine on the walls and in display cases at two Tri-City art galleries. Tomorrow (Thursday) will see student exhibits open for a month at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts and at the Port Moody Arts Centre. Among the pieces on show at the Maillardville facility — which is currently marking its 40th year — will be from Rae Yano, who studies watercolours, pastels, inks and acrylics with Laurie Thompson. A member of the Art Focus Art Association in Port Coquitlam and the Port Moody Artists’ Association, Yano will have three acrylics of animal portraits and landscapes in the Place des Arts’ exhibit. “I love creating something on an empty canvas with natural themes,”she told The Tri-City News.“Like golf, painting is a humbling experience: the results are not always as the mind pictures them. But every once in a while a few good strokes come together.” Seeing her art in a public setting “gives me a goal to strive for and a certain satisfaction that my work is not just hidden away in the basement,” she said. “It is always good to get feedback from a variety of sources. And there is the question, ‘Is it art if nobody

sees it?’” Yano’s work will be part of the APex (Arts, Performance & Exhibitions): Student Show, in the Atrium Gallery, while a Place des Arts’ alumni display will run concurrently in the Mezzanine Gallery. And in the Leonore Peyton Salon will be Images and Ideas from Don Portelance’s art enhancement students. Meanwhile, PoMo Arts Centre (PMAC) will highlight 39 paintings in oil, acrylics and watercolour from 22 student artists plus more than 20 ceramic pieces from eight artists. Executive director Bruce Campbell said each of the students has taken at least one class at PMAC over the past year. “The work is really diverse,” he said. “There is an excellent realist painting called Working Man, a stunning oil-on-canvas called Sunrise over Newport and a wonderful ceramic bowl with a calligraphy-like freehand brushed glaze.” Best of all, some of the works are for sale, he said. • Opening receptions for the student exhibits at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave.) and PMAC (2425 St. John’s St.) are on Thursday, June 6, starting at 7 p.m. and 6 p.m., respectively. In addition, Papergirl Vancouver — a Place des Arts’ partner — will host a free printmaking workshop at the Maillardville reception. It is also the last open weaving session for the centre’s social fabric project. Participants can bring a special thread to stitch into the tapestry.

A Coquitlambased vocal group has been named as one of three finalists from across Canada to perform in the prestigious A s s o c i at i o n o f Canadian Choral Communities (ACCC) competition. The Coastal Sound Youth Choir, under the direction of Carrie Tennant, will sing in the amateur contest that used to be known as the CBC choral competition, said Diana Clark, artistic director of the Coastal Sound Music Academy (CSMA). CSYC will be up against Chorale De La Salle (Robert Filion) of Ottawa and Medway Madrigal Singers (Jeff Beynon and Kathy McNaughton) of London, Ont., in the category of mixed-voice youth choirs. The winners will be announced next month at Festival 500 Sharing the Voices, an international event featuring choral music, in St. John’s, NL. Cash prizes will be awarded for the top performances in each category. Meanwhile, CSMA will present Imaginary Extraordinary at C o q u i t l a m ’ s Evergreen Cultural Centre on Sunday. The concert will include show tunes such as A Spoonful of Sugar and Pure Imagination as well as songs from The Great American Songbook, Daley and Rautavaara. The 3 p.m. show on June 9 has CSMA children’s and training choirs — with the Burnaby District Youth Choir — while the 7 p.m. event features Con Brio (all youth), Con Bella (all-girls) and children’s and adult choirs.

A love triangle X five By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

It came down to time. In February, dozens of acting students in Natalee Fera’s class at Pinetree secondary were part in her Treehouse Theatre mega-hit Grease! Two months later, three of them were cast of the inaugural production of The Bullying Games, a play based on real-life experiences in the Coquitlam school district that debuted at the Terry Fox Theatre. So, when it came down to their final public performance for the academic year, Fera said her 22 senior acting students had had enough of big drama. And instead of offering their planned show of The Crucible, they ditched it for something a little more light-hearted. In one month, they buckled down and studied the workings of The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!), a musical structured in five acts, set in the style of a parody that is based on a single narrative. For the Coquitlam school, its plot would revolve around a love triangle told — of course — five different ways: • Office romantic comedy; • Greek mythology; • Teen drama (à la Mean Girls); • Film noir; • and Star Wars. Producing 5 For 1 Theatre — as they have called their original piece — rather than going through the motions of presenting the 1953 play by Arthur Miller “wasn’t necessarily easier because we had to write and workshop it in four weeks,” Fera said during a group session last Friday. There were also a lot of details that had to be figured out quickly, too. Half the costumes had to be rented, the props needed to be organized and the technical mechanics had to be fine-tuned. Seeing it to the end for tomorrow night’s live show “has been a really nice group effort and I feel like it’s something that we’re going to look back at and be proud of,”Fera said. • Tickets for 5 For 1 Theatre are $5 and available at the door (3000 Pinewood Ave., Coquitlam) on Thursday at 7 p.m. The school’s improv team will also perform. For more information, call the school at 604464-2513. jwarren@tricitynews.com

PSWE is Young at Heart A 17-year-old musician will perform an oboe solo as part of the Young At Heart classical music concert at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre on Saturday. Teresa Lin, who attends Semiahmoo secondary and is taught by Roger Cole, the principal oboist with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, will join the June 8 show put on by the Pacific Symphonic Wind Ensemble (PSWE) under the direction of Evan Mitchell, conductor of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony. Lin will perform Autum Solioquy by James Barnes for solo oboe and wind ensemble — “a truly lovely piece,”

said PSWE spokesperson and flautist Robert Neville. And other youth-related pieces to be played that night include Children’s March by Percy Grainger, Hobbits from John de Meij’s Lord of the Rings Symphony and the Roman Carnival Overture of Hector Berlioz. PSWE is a 50-piece wind ensemble that focuses on music written within the last 100 years. Its base is at the Evergreen Cultural Centre and often features guest conductors.

On Sunday the day begins with a parade to the park from Coquitlam City Hall at 10 a.m. and activities at the park begin at 11:00 am and continue through until 4:00 pm. The Teddy Bear Picnic is a great day of family fun, entertainment and adventure. Admission is $3, Children under 3 are FREE. The Festival Coquitlam Society is made up of a group of dedicated volunteers who spend countless hours of their time to ensure there are safe events to entertain the entire family. Children and adults can enjoy many exciting and fun-filled activities. The little ones are encouraged to bring their teddies in for their annual medical checkup at the Teddy Bear Clinic. Constant entertainment will be provided by a mix of roving entertainers and main-stage performers who are sponsored by Coast Capital Savings. To avoid long gate lineups, prepaid admission wrist bands can be purchased at City Centre Aquatic Complex, Chimo Pool and Pinetree Community Centre.

The Kinsmen Club of Coquitlam shuttle bus will be providing service for the day. The Shuttle bus service will run from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. This service is provided free of charge thanks to the Kinsmen Club of Coquitlam. The Shuttle bus will be providing transportation between the Teddy Bear Site and Coquitlam Centre. The Coquitlam

This year’s Grand Marshall of the parade is Les Wingrove, Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame Inductee. Entries in this year’s parade include marching bands, mascots, community youth groups, emergency services, and of course the clowns. “The enthusiasm, community spirit and the willingness to give back to the community by participants involved in the parade is what keeps our volunteer committee involved in this event, as well as the other venues that Festival Coquitlam hosts over the summer” says Malcolm Kennedy, Coquitlam Festival Society Chair. “We have a wonderful and diverse community; is evident in the Teddy Bear Picnic Parade every year. Without the dedication and participation of these groups we would not have a parade to enjoy. We would like to invite all the families in this great community of ours to gather up the kids, their teddy bears, and join together in celebrating a day of family fun.”
