Back to school zones

By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The first full-day of school is in session today (Wednesday) but that doesn’t mean your school parking lot has to be a dangerous gauntlet for your children to navigate.

In fact, the same principles of calmness, compassion, tolerance and respect School District 43 teachers are trying to impart to your kids could be shown in school parking lots and roads leading up to them.

Take it easy, advises Craig Mah. The Heritage Mountain elementary principal will be monitoring traffic in his school’s parking lot over the next few days but he’s not expecting any trouble.

D. STRANDBERG/TRI-CITY NEWS

Principal Craig Mah of Heritage Mountain elementary will tweet again to remind parents to drive safely.

That’s because of a successful campaign last March to remind parents to be more careful driving in and around the school parking lot. see KLINGON ALERT, page 5

BACK TO SCHOOL: Safety tips and economic opinions as the new school year begins

City pitching in to make areas around schools safer Neon flags to be put up at schools

IN QUOTES

“The whole idea is it’s different, it catches your eye.”

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Coquitlam wants to help schools make their parking lots and roads leading to them safer.

This year the city, in co-operation with School District 43, is issuing bright yellow flags that can be affixed to light standards or other poles to remind drivers when school is in session.

“The whole idea is it’s different, it catches your eye,” explained Coun.

Craig Hodge, acting mayor.

When school is not in

Coun. Craig Hodge

DIANE STRANDBERG/ThE TRI-cITy NEwS

Flags are available to remind drivers school is in session. Promoting the new city of Coquitlam/School District 43 initiative are Cpl. Neil Roemer and Sally Maidens, principal of Meadowbrook elementary school, one of the first to adopt the new flag safety reminders.

session, in the evening, weekends or holidays, the flags come down but in the morning on a school day, they go up — a neoncoloured reminder to slow down and watch out for school children.

Dan Mooney, the city’s manager of roads and traffic operations, said since the program was rolled out three elementary schools have jumped on board — Meadowbrook, Harbourview and Eagle

Ridge. He said it’s part of the city’s three-pronged attack to promote traffic safety: engineering (designing safer roads and sidewalks), education and enforcement.

At Meadowbrook, it’s not the average driver cruising by but parents who need to be reminded to drive safely in a school zone. The school, which is host to the Reggioinfluenced kindergarten program, has many children ferried to class in cars and parents forget to be safe in the rush to get their kids into school Sally Maidens said the signs — as well as a public awareness program — should help.

“It will encourage them to be mindful,”she said.

Meanwhile, Como Lake and Glen elementary schools have new sidewalks and SD43 and the city are encouraging parents to use them to park and walk their kids to school. Doing so will cut down on the chaos in school driveways, Mooney said.

As well, Coquitlam RCMP will be stepping up traffic patrols during September to make sure drivers follow the rules and city bylaw officers will be out enforcing parking regulations.

Coquitlam schools interested in acquiring the flags should contact Jannette Guarin, traffic technologist, at jguarin@ coquitlam.ca. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

There may be longer waits for assessment and counselling services — critical for student services — but students will still get the help they need, she assured.

As for what she anticipates for the near future, Hyndes said hiring a new secretary treasurer is a priority, as is launching the district’s new Learning Without Boundaries plan to enhance learning opportunities for students.

By the numbers School District 43 job cuts in fulltime equivalents (FTE): • teachers — 78.6 • administrators —5 • educational assistants — 21.2 • support staff — 28 (5 custodians, 12 clerical, 7 maintenance grounds, 2 IT, 2 community school co-ordinators) • other professionals — 6 • staff development — 12.6

TOM GRANT, SD43 SUPT.

If School District 43 were a baseball team, superintendent Tom Grant would be a busy centrefielder, shagging grounders and fly balls from all directions.

But Grant seems to shrug off the pressure as he reels off a laundry list of new initiatives and projects that will be on his plate in the coming weeks.

First, union negotiations, with GRANT CUPE support workers bargaining beginning this week and teachers’ talks taking place in October. Back-to-school paperwork, number crunching and finances will continue to be on his plate until a secretary treasurer is hired in the coming weeks.

As well, Grant said kindergarten to Grade 9 curriculum changes are coming from the Ministry of Education, report cards may be revamped, graduation changes are coming and the district is unveiling its new Learning Without Boundaries plan in the coming months.

“And the only thing I don’t think we’re going to hear about is new money,”he joked.

Soon, audit reports on the state of the district’s finances will be out — the audit itself costing about $140,000 — and Grant says the important details will be shared with the public.

recent round of cuts but will also be highlighting the important work teachers do in schools.

But there is no way to soft-pedal the fact that cuts to teachers and support worker jobs will mean less support for students,“especially for students that are vulnerable and falling throughout the cracks anyways.”

King doesn’t expect huge jumps in class sizes but he does think specialized classes that used to have fewer students to accommodate those with special needs will now be larger, especially in secondary schools.

“Before they were lower in recognition of students with IEPs [individual education plans],”he said.“Now, they will be loaded up to the maximum number.”

Last May, 12 jobs in the development department were cut, leaving only six people left and King thinks the effect will be less support for teachers implementing new programs or working with children with special education needs.

“I think it’s gong to be a huge loss.That’s one of the things. Parents and students won’t see it day one” but he expects the effect could be noticed as the year progresses.

On a happier note, King is looking forward to celebrating teachers’ accomplishments up to and including Saturday, Oct. 5, which is World Teachers’ Day.

DAVE GINTER, CUPE 561 PRESIDENT

When Dave Ginter, president of CUPE Local 561, sits down at the microphone at SD43 meetings, many people cringe.

With his booming voice and direct form of presentation, Ginter has a way of cutting through the edu-speak that occasionally emanates from district officials.

This school year, Ginter plans to be at it again, holding the district’s feet to the fire for the $8.2-million deficit it incurred last year that resulted in $12.1 million in cuts this year.

Although many of the overages were the result of unavoidable higher costs in utilities and benefits, some

43 said it’s likely many teachers are in new posts or have additional responsibilities in the wake of $12.1 million in cuts made to the district budget. As a result, she said parents need to be more aware that teachers HASS GABLE can’t be all things to all people.

“Teachers can’t bear this alone and just that act of going in and asking,‘Are you in a new position this year?

Is there anything I can do to help?’We have to do that and we have to pull together this year,”Hass Gable said.

Like many people with a stake in the education system (Hass Gable’s youngest is in Grade 3), the DPAC chair was gripped by the drama of the district’s financial situation. And now that the cuts have been made, she acknowledges there will be impacts.

For example, Hass Gable expects that cuts to staff development (12 cuts, leaving six people in place) will mean fewer learning support teachers to provide advice, mentoring and professional development to teachers in the classroom.

She also expects there may be more difficulty in getting supports for vulnerable kids when there are fewer teachers and special education assistants. But key to getting through the year, she said, is building relationships.

To that end, DPAC will be hosting parent-orientation meetings and an Ignite talk, during which experts will be brought in to talk about proposed changes in the education system, such as non-letter grade report cards.The discussions will also be videotaped so parents who can’t make it can watch them online.

“Parents really need some background and foundation [to new education initiatives],”she said.“Lots of times we don’t even know what questions to ask.

• Information will be posted at inspire.dpac43.org. The meetings dates are: Sept. 25 and Oct. 9 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Gallery Room at Winslow Centre, 1100 Winslow Ave., Coquitlam. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Klingon alert continued from front page Mah ignited some controversy with a Twitter campaign that used sci-fi gags to get people to pay attention to the rules of the road. “I’d say, ‘There’s a Klingon blocking the fire hydrant, watch out.’”

After a while, parents stopped tuning him out and started driving more carefully. Instead of parking three abreast in the school lot and forcing kids to run between stopped cars, parents were encouraged to

park on the street and walk their kids to school.

The result was a calmer, safer school, and Mah expects the same polite behaviour when school resumes this week. He’ll still tweet out reminders of the rules to newcomers but he expects most parents will pay more attention to safety this year.

“The tweets back were very supportive,” he said.

“Parents were very happy seeing something being done.”

SAFETY TIPS

30 km/h speed limit is in effect in school zones from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

• When you’re dropping off your children in school zones, stop and allow them to exit the car on the side closest to the sidewalk. Never allow a child to cross mid-block.

• If a vehicle is stopped in front of you or in the lane next to you, the

Police chiefs and ICBC are asking parents to remind children about traffic safety, including removing their headphones when they cross the street and making eye contact with drivers so you both know they see each other. Also: • Every school day, a

Nurses concerned about Windsor Plywood’s mental health changes SUMMER CLEARANCE! More money in the system would help: McPherson

IN QUOTES

“Our concern is they will lose the support and they could suffer setbacks and end up in the acute care system, which is more costly.”

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Fraser Health is ending evening services at six mental health clinics across the region — including the Tri-Cities — prompting concerns from B.C.’s nurses that some patients could go without services.

“Our concern is they will lose the support and they could suffer setbacks and end up in the acute care system, which is more costly,”said Debra McPherson, BC Nurses Union president.

“It ends up not being a cost savings.”

But Fraser Health officials say the change will result in more people being served because staff who worked longer hours into the evening and got a day off every two weeks will now be working daytime hours.

Beginning Sept. 1, evening clinics are being be phased out in the TriCities, Surrey, Langley, New Westminster, White Rock and Burnaby.

Although no jobs will be cut because nurses will be reallocated to other shifts, McPherson is concerned the change will make it difficult for people who work or have small children at home during the day to access services.

In the Tri-Cities, six to eight people who previously saw counsellors until 8 p.m. once a week will be affected by the switch to 8:30 a.m.to-4:30 p.m. hours. But McPherson said some cities where group counselling was offered during the evening will see more people affected and, in some cases, clients won’t be able to get medicines they once did in the evening hours.

“Our real concern is a loss of service and access to service,” McPherson said, noting that the change comes as mayors across the region are complaining about a shortage of mental health services and calling for the re-opening of Riverview Hospital.

But Denyse Houde, director of clinical programs, mental health and substance abuse for the Tri-Cities as well as Burnaby and New Westminster, said the change was needed to handle a growing demand for mental health services.

“Fraser Health understands that this change may cause concern to some of our clients. The decision to realign our resources was due to the

fact that demands for daytime services have been increasing and we are unable to meet those demands with current staff rotations.”

She said the majority of clients are accessing services during daytime hours and ending evening clinics will put more resources into periods of high demand, reducing

But for BCNU’s McPherson, a better idea would be to put more funding into the system

to enable Fraser Health to meet the new demand for service and provide evening service.

“Why would you take away something that assists the other parts of the system?” she asked.

2000

$ Rolly Fox with Donna White, the B.C./Yukon director of the Terry Fox Foundation, go over some paperwork at the provincial office in Port Coquitlam. Terry Fox Runs take place on Sunday, Sept. 15.

JANIS WARREN/thE tRI-cIty NEWS

Rolly remarried to a friend two years after Betty’s death continued from front page

This year has been a busy one for Fox and the multi-million dollar, family-run foundation that is named after his late son.

In July, Fox joined his children Fred, Darrell and Judith — along with Terry’s best friend, Doug Alward, also now a Chilliwack resident — to include hundreds of Marathon of Hope memorabilia in a new exhibit at Canada’s national museum; the artifacts will be displayed in Ottawa as well as in a touring exhibit in time for the 35th anniversary of the run.

Also this summer, Fox and his children passed the governance torch to a new set of Fox supporters. The family elected a new foundation board that met for the first time last month (see sidebar).

This month, Fox and the family are getting ready for the 33rd annual Terry Fox Run, happening across Canada on Sunday, Sept. 15, as well as the Fox school runs on Sept. 26.

Fred will be in Ontario on Sept. 15 while Judith will be the keynote in Coquitlam. And Rolly will be the spokesperson at the Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam to honour the place where Terry grew up.

Right now, Fox doesn’t know what he’ll say to the thousands of participants expected to take part in the PoCo run.

IN QUOTES

“My family is good. My health is good. I really can’t ask for anything more.”

Rolly Fox “I’ll be naturally thanking everybody for being there,”he said.

However, for this year’s event, there’ll be somebody new at his side.

In April, at the Salvation Army Church in Chilliwack, Fox married a friend of his and Betty’s — a widow who lost her husband around the same time Betty passed away in 2011.

“We grieved together,” Fox said.

At first, the decision to marry Janet — a native of England and a mother of two grown sons — didn’t go over well with his children, Fox said.

“They said it was too soon,”he said, adding, “but the four of us were friends and we thought our late spouses would appreciate us moving on.”

Fox is smitten with her and is anxious to introduce his new bride, although she shuns the limelight.

He notes,“Everything is good in my life. My family is good. My health is good. I really can’t ask for anything more.”

FOUR TRI-CITY FOX RUNS

There are four Terry Fox Runs in the Tri-Cities on Sunday, Sept. 15: • The Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam (Hyde Creek rec. centre, 1379 Laurier St., 10 a.m. start); • Coquitlam (Blue Mountain Park, noon start); • Port Moody (Rocky Point Park, 10 a.m. start); • and Anmore (Spirit Park, noon start). For more information, visit terryfox.org.

Who’s running Runs The Terry Fox Foundation announced its new board last month. It is made up of: • Jim Gabel (president of adidas Group Canada); • Bill Pristanski, chair (longtime Fox fundraiser); • Ara Sahakian (chartered accountant and chair of Dubai Fox Run organizing committee); • Vic Ling (president and scientific director of the Terry Fox Research Institute); • and Rob Reid (volunteer chair of the advisory committee working to establish the Terry Fox Centre in Vancouver, a permanent home for “all things Terry”).

Meanwhile, Canadian hotelier Isadore Sharp, who helped to get the Terry Fox Runs off the ground 33 years ago, was named to a new board role: chairman emeritus.

One of the board’s first priorities is to hire a new executive director for the foundation, said Fred Fox, manager of supporter relations.

Better this year?

C

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

lassrooms weren’t the only places where learning happened last year and School District 43 may just be better for it.

The board room at the Coquitlam district office on Poirier Street was another place where more than a few lessons were taught. Last winter and spring, educators, parents and school support workers were transfixed by the ever-changing numbers used to describe the district’s financial situation.

Throughout the budget discussions leading to $12.1 million in cuts to stem the bleeding this year, many observers reported being “flabbergasted” and appalled that officials seemingly didn’t have a handle on district finances.

A $7.5-million deficit revealed in January ballooned to $13 million, and without $5 million in cuts, the district’s hole would be deeper than the $8.2 million it is now.

But there is a silver lining to all that terrible mess in that the district has now realized it must be more open, transparent and rigorous in tracking its finances and has promised regular updates, as well a forensic audit to find out what went wrong. It has also promised to be more strategic in drafting the budget — looking at a three-to-five-year budget window instead of a single year.

Other districts take a longer view, as do cities, and it might help the SD43 planning process.

Still, these progressive changes do nothing to soften the blow to teachers and support workers who lost their jobs.

They won’t cut waiting lists for special needs kids waiting to be assessed or provide more counselling services for vulnerable kids.

What’s more, the district still has to deal with the province’s byzantine funding arrangement, which is still overtly political, mercurial, confusing and represents the very antithesis of long-term planning. But this is something the board will have to deal with.

At the same time, the district will likely find itself having to cover the costs of CUPE wage increases granted by the province without additional funding from the province.

Nevertheless, lessons from the last school year are much appreciated and the changes promised should go some way toward assuring the public that the district has learned from its 2013 failing grade.

If nothing else, SD43 promises to do better in math this year.

Back to school, back to labour disputes BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA nother school year dawns in B.C. with the prospect of disruptive labour disputes.

First up are 27,000 support staff, in a legal strike position.

These are the teacher aides, special education assistants and custodians. Most are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, with a few Teamsters and other locals scattered around the 60 school districts.

Public discussion about these disputes usually focuses on wage increases, which CUPE members in schools haven’t seen for four years. Their current deals expired more than a year ago after they were subject to the same two-year wage freeze imposed on the rest of government.

The B.C. government moved from the postrecession wage freeze to a system it calls

A

“co-operative gains,”where raises must be financed by savings in other areas of the operation. Only two provincial employee groups have yet to do this: school support staff and teachers.

(Education Minister Peter Fassbender confirmed last week that teacher raises will be funded by extra transfers from the provincial treasury as the government tries to get a longterm deal. But that’s a topic for another day.)

CUPE, the largest union in the country, has a sophisticated media campaign to generate public sympathy. We are repeatedly reminded not only that the last raise was 2009 but that the “average”pay is a mere $24,000 a year. If that number is accurate, it reflects a large number of part-timers.

Let’s look at a few provisions CUPE doesn’t talk about, on behalf of those self-employed taxpayers who have no paid holidays, no employer pension or benefits, and no paid overtime, but are expected to help pay all of the above to government workers.

The 60 contracts have many variations but

TRI-CITY nEWS [CCAB AUDITED CIRCULATIon 53,469 (MARCH 2009)] 1405 Broadway St., Port Coquitlam, B.C. V3C 6L6 telephone: 604-525-6397 • fax: 604-944-0703

core elements are the same. In the Central Okanagan school district, the starting CUPE wage rate is $17.37 an hour and the top rate is $26.59, or $28.78 for workers who qualify for a “trades adjustment.”

All contracts have rigid seniority and“bumping”clauses to ensure new employees absorb any reductions in working hours. From a taxpayers’ perspective, this leads to the maximum number of employees making the highest wages.

Overtime in Central Okanagan is time and a half for the first two hours and double time after that. Contracts also include the provision that unscheduled overtime is subject to a fourhour minimum. It’s amazing how often an unexpected hour of work can arise when it’s paid at quadruple time.

The Surrey School District contract details how even“spare board”employees are to be enrolled in the municipal pension plan, a definedbenefit system most private-sector employees can only dream about.

Then there are paid sick days.The Canadian

Taxpayers’ Federation reports that the average B.C. private sector worker took 7.4 sick days last year while the public sector average was 12.

The Surrey contract also details the windfall of unused sick days that must be paid out to employees who retire as early as age 55.The maximum is 150 days, for a lavish perk only available to employees hired before July 1, 1996.

Even so, we’ll be paying these bonuses out for years to come.

It goes on and on. Six weeks’ paid vacation after 20 years, with an extra day added for every year after that.

There are many little things, such as a $60 “swimsuit allowance”for teacher aides who take part in swimming instruction.

This is not to devalue the work done by these people. It is to suggest that given the growing gap between public and private employment benefits, finding savings is reasonable.

TRI-CITY leTTeRs

Wilson Centre Dental Clinic

let’s reopen Riverview Hospital The Editor, Re. “Reopen R’view” (The Tri-City News, Aug. 28).

It’s very good to see Riverview Hospital in the news lately.

In the past, Riverview has been an effective mental health facility that employed more than 4,000 people when in full operation. It cared for a significant number of the province’s people with mental health and addic-

tion issues, as opposed to leaving them to their own devices, which is currently the case.

Unfortunately, shortsighted decisions mandated that it gradually close and now it sits empty and neglected.

The stately heritage buildings and beautiful grounds make Riverview one of the most wonderful places in the Lower Mainland. One only needs to wander the

grounds to feel a deep connection to nature. This has a positive effect on stress which helps to heal.

According to the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, our police forces admit to being overwhelmed with being the frontline mental health care workers — a job for which they are neither trained nor equipped. People who require treatment often end up in our hospitals or

criminal justice system.

I encourage our policy makers to give serious thought to reopening Riverview. Such a move could provide a significant number of well-paying, long-term jobs. It could at the same time provide care for those in need.

If our government is serious about jobs, then this seems to be a perfect opportunity.

The Riverview grounds.

From St. John’s to PoCo, thanks to those who helped a family in need The Editor, On Aug. 5, while vacationing in Newfoundland, our two sons, aged 16 and 14 years, were in a serious boating accident.

They sustained serious injuries, were in critical condition and hospitalized for three and a half weeks. It was a very difficult time for us, especially as we were so far from our home of Port Coquitlam.

Within a few hours of the accident, the news had spread across the country, and friends and family did whatever they could to support us in our time of need. Through

phone calls, emails and social media sites, a rally was set up at Terry Fox secondary school for the following week. It was one evening when people could come and support us with cards, gifts and donations. Hundreds of people showed up.

The love, support, encouragement and prayer that surrounded us was truly amazing. We only hope we can pay it forward in some way.

While the boys were recovering in hospital, we were fortunate to have been able to stay at the Ronald McDonald House in St. John’s, N.L. This is

DON’T MISS OUT!

a wonderful facility that provides sick children and their families with a home-away-from-home experience. It is also in close proximity to the Janeway hospital so we were able to walk back and forth to the house for meals, breaks and a comfy bed.

We were overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who supports this place and the families who use it. We feel so blessed to have experienced kindness, generosity and unwavering support from so many amazing people from St. John’s, N.L. to Port

Coquitlam, B.C. We have a renewed faith in the human spirit and how a community can come together to support those in need.

The boys continue to make progress as their bodies heal. We are hopeful and pray for a complete recovery.

On behalf of the Hughes family, we would like to express our sincere thanks and deep appreciation to our wonderful community of friends and family in the Tri-Cities.

Trudeau’s pot admission reefer madness, says lawyer

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

Federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s admission he smoked marijuana after becoming an MP — and the ensuing flurry of similar disclosures by other Canadian politicians — has a U.S. immigration lawyer shaking his head.

“I couldn’t believe it when I saw him admit to it,” said Len Saunders.

The Blaine, Wash. lawyer says Trudeau and any other admitted Canadian pot smokers — high-profile or not — should expect to be refused entry to the U.S. “Justin Trudeau is inadmissible to the United States,” Saunders said.

“He’s admitted to use of an illegal substance.

If he’s elected prime minister, he can’t come into the U.S. without a waiver.”

Saunders warned earlier this year he was seeing large numbers

of B.C. residents permanently denied entry to the U.S. after they TRUDEAU admitted to past marijuana use when questioned by American border agents.

Washington state’s vote in late 2012 to legalize, tax and sell marijuana has created confusion, leading some B.C. residents to believe pot is now a non-issue when heading south. In fact, Saunders said, the drug remains illegal under U.S. federal law and someone with no criminal record who merely admits historic marijuana use can be barred from entry because it’s a crime of “moral turpitude.”

Saunders said he hasn’t seen any new cases this summer of Canadians refused entry for admitting pot use.

He said the pending changes in Washington state — stores selling marijuana are expected to open there within a year — may have left U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials unsure how to apply the law right now.

But Saunders said he still believes it’s folly for any Canadian to publicly disclose their past pot use — either on camera as Trudeau did

or via searchable social media posts or perhaps a blog. He noted U.S. border agents several years ago Googled a UBC psychology professor who was trying to cross the border and denied him entry when the web search showed he’d written a book on illegal substances in which he discussed experimenting with LSD in the 1960s. jnagel@blackpress.ca

lors Selina Robinson and Linda Reimer were elected to provincial office.

Macdonell, a retired RCMP officer, lost his council job in 2011 by 102 votes and is expected to be one of a handful of people run-

ning in the October byelection.

In a press release, he said he is proud of his record as a councillor, noting community safety and transportation are his top priorities. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Fraser River salmon fishing resumes Run size boosted to four million, 16 million pinks expected

By Jeff Nagel Black PRess

An improving run of sockeye salmon returning to the Fraser River has prompted fishery managers to reopen fishing for other salmon species that had been closed to guard against any accidental by-catch of sockeye.

Pa c i f i c S a l m o n Commission officials now estimate around four million sockeye are

tri-city newS file photo

The Pacific Salmon Commission estimates that four million sockeye due to arrive in the Fraser, well below the preseason forecast of 4.7 million. on track to return due to more fish arriving later than anticipated.

That’s still below a pre-season forecast of 4.7 million but it’s much better than a few weeks ago when salmon watchers feared just two million

would return.

Recreational angling for chinook, pink and chum salmon opens Friday morning below Mission and for pink and chum above Mission starting Saturday morning.

First Nations also have

the go-ahead to fish for chinook, chum and pink on the lower Fraser for food, social and ceremonial purposes.

A limited commercial fishery for pinks is also expected.

Water temperatures have cooled somewhat from dangerously high levels earlier in the summer but fishery managers still expect 70 per cent of returning sockeye will die on their journey upriver to the spawning grounds.

As a result, all of the fisheries are directed to release any sockeye that are caught.

“We are getting early reports of fish arriving at

the spawning grounds in good condition,” said Jeff Grout, DFO regional resource manager.

Sockeye run on a four-year cycle, so the fish now migrating are the offspring of the disastrous 2009 run, when just 1.6 million sockeye returned, prompting the appointment of the Cohen Inquiry.

There had been high hopes that this would be the year that stock begins to rebuild.

While DFO officials say there are now signs that will happen, they say the return and the river conditions are still far from what they had hoped.

Crunching for causes: diversity and inclusion Coss joins annual event on Sept. 7

By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy NewS

C

oquitlam residents are rallying to help build a more diverse and accessible community — one step at a time.

The fourth annual Coquitlam Crunch Challenge takes place Sept. 7, with hikers tackling the formidable trail to raise money for the creation of an Embracing Diversity Community Fund with the Coquitlam Foundation.

Crunch founder Alex Bell said he started the event to draw attention to diversity needs in the Tri-Cities. “Really, it’s to focus on including people with diversity barriers into the community,” said Bell, adding those barriers could be physical or mental, and also include things such as age, language and ethnicity.

The event also serves to raise money for the creation of a community diversity fund through the Coquitlam Foundation. “Once it reaches $10,000, it starts to generate a grant that will be available for community groups to apply for.”

The Make It or Break It category will start out at 6:30 a.m. from the trail alongside the lacrosse box parking lot behind Scott Creek middle school. Competitors are challenged to see how many times they can make it up the trail in a 12-hour period. Last year, Matt Sessions set the

Michael Coss, a brain injury survivor, will take part in the Anything is Possible challenge. event record, making 17 ascents over the 12-hour period.

The recreational category goes from 10 a.m. to noon for those not

wanting to push their endurance to the limits but still wish to enjoy the trail and support the idea of a building a diverse community. Participants are

encouraged to collect pledges for the event or make a suggested donation of $20.

New this year will be a category for those with

mobility challenges.

“The Anything is Possible trail starts partway up the Crunch for people who may be in wheelchairs, people in

walkers, those with mobility issues,”said Bell.

O n e p e r s o n wh o will be taking up the Anything is Possible challenge is 2012 Courage to Come Back Award recipient Michael Coss.

Doctors said Coss would never walk or talk again after he suffered a traumatic brain injury in a 2006 motor vehicle accident. Since that time, the former Coquitlam resident was the biggest individual fundraiser for the 2007 Rick Hansen Wheels in Motion campaign, participated in two Terry Fox events and has launched a foundation to raise funds for rehabilitation options for brain injured children.

Coss discarded his wheelchair soon after winning the Courage to Come Back Award and now says he is “pumped” to be using just a cane to take to the trail and lead the way of people with mobility barriers to participate in the event.

Coss will arrive at 10 a.m. for a meet-and-greet outside Northside Church at Lansdowne and David, making his way up to help Bell launch the new Anything is Possible trail at 10:30 a.m.

Bell is encouraging everybody to tackle the Crunch on Sept. 7, both to support a more diverse community and to enjoy the setting of a beautiful local landmark.

“I invite the community to come out and give it a try — once or 17 times,” he said with a chuckle.

Kids’ novels for adults A GOOD READ Reta Pyke

I

feel like I’m part of a secret club whose membership is made up of anyone who reads children’s literature. We are all bonded together because of our special knowledge and I’m going to let you in on the secret: There are a lot of good books written for children that would also satisfy even the most discerning adult reader.

Perhaps you’re looking for something a bit different from the usual or, perhaps, you want a book you can share with, or read to, your children without rolling your eyes at every sappy passage. Here are a few outstanding titles that you’ll want to keep reading long after the kids have gone to sleep.

Half-Moon Investigations is a hardboiled detective novel by bestselling author Eoin Colfer.The novel is narrated by wisecracking 12-year-old Fletcher Moon, Private Detective. So far, Moon’s investigations have been limited to missing pets and lost items but now that he has his shiny investigator’s badge, he’s ready to move up to the big time — no more getting paid in chocolate. What takes this novel above and beyond your average mystery is Moon’s pitch-perfect narrative tone. Colfer has blended a hard-boiled detective and a 12-year-old, then added his characteristic Irish wit for a believable and magical result.

I love the puzzles in Trenton Lee Stewart’s The Mysterious Benedict Society. In this adventurous mystery novel, four unique children are recruited to perform a secret undercover mission at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened in order to thwart a world domination plot. It’s an exciting brain-teaser novel with a satisfying conclusion.

There is a sense of nostalgia for grown-up readers of Summer of Permanent Wants by Jamieson Findlay. It is a modern children’s novel written in the style of a classic adventure story but with none of the hang-ups that come with being printed in the 1960s.

Eleven year old Emmaline can no longer speak due to a brain fever contracted in Africa while on a trip with her parents. After a year of frustrating rehabilitation, she takes a summer holiday with her grandmother on Permanent Wants, a canal boat and floating used bookstore. Emmaline slowly travels the Rideau River having a series of wild and strange adven-

tures with the people she meets along the way.

Polly Horvath is an amazing Canadian author whose writing is blessed with a sense of humour.

In Mr. and Mrs. Bunny, Detectives Extraordinaire, Horvath presents a hilarious parody of the talking animal genre. Madeline’s unreliable hippy parents have been kidnapped by a gang of foxes and it is up to her to rescue them. Luckily, she stumbles across Mr. and Mrs. Bunny, dressed in their new fedoras and eager for their first case.

Sophie Blackall’s illustrations accent the book’s satire.The picture of Mr. Bunny in his purple platform go-go boots had me laughing out loud.

Another great Canadian children’s book with a more serious tone is The Whole Truth by Kit Pearson. After their father’s death, 10-year-old Polly and her older sister Maud are sent to live with their estranged grandmother on a small island just off the coast ofVancouver Island.

Polly is struggling to adjust to her new life when her sister must go away to boarding school inVictoria and Polly is left on her own to keep the biggest secret of her life.

There are so many gems in the children’s section — this is only a small selection. Come browse at your local library or ask a librarian for more suggestions. It’s an area ripe for discovery.

Fraser Health is offering enhanced help for those at the end – and their families Reducing stress for patients and families is key

By Sarah Payne The TRi-CiTy News

Judy Purkiss (left), whose late husband Ed benefited from a Fraser Health Authority pilot palliative care program and palliative-focused nurse Alice Bol. Authority program being tested in the Tri-Cities made that possible.

Enhanced Palliative Services at Home offers increased support and care management for patients who wish to and are

able to die at home. Fraser Health already offers general Home Health nursing support but Enhanced Palliative Services takes that several steps further.

“We have nurses who are now dedicated in

Home Health to only looking after palliative patients,” said Carolyn Tayler.“Before they would be seeing patients in the home with a variety of needs,” such as wound care or patients who’d

grandchildren. The nurses were also able to discuss end-of-life matters with Purkiss and his family, bringing clarity to his wishes and what to expect in the final days.

“It was very soother for us to know that he was comfortable until the very end,” Judy said. “He died in dignity at home as he wanted to.”

Tayler said the Fraser Health prototype prog ra m i s b a s e d o n Canadian research that shows “patients and their families want them to die at home, but we know that is largely not happening.”

There are about 100 Tri-City patients in the Enhanced Palliative Services program and FHA hopes to expand the prototype to other communities,Tayler said.

The service is accessible through referral from family doctors or directly through the Tri-Cities Home Health office, 604777-7327, newsroom@tricitynews.com

Although he was nearing the end of his life, with his condition deteriorating rapidly, Port Moody’s Ed Purkiss knew he didn’t want to stay in the hospital.

But his wife, Judy, and their daughters were already struggling with the imminent loss of their beloved husband and father, and weren’t sure how they could manage to make Purkiss’ final weeks at home as comfortable as possible.

“We knew that he was just as worried about the burden the situation would put on us,” Judy said in a release earlier this year. “We just wanted to be able to handle things with ease and confidence, to take the stress off him.”

just been released from hospital.

The Enhanced Palliative Services nurses have received additional support, education and training in palliative care and work closely with each patient’s doctor. The care they provide becomes more personal and specialized, and includes both practical and emotional support for the family.

“A familiar face, familiarity with the individual needs and palliative expertise are key to alleviating the enormous stress clients and their families go through,” said Alice Bol, the nurse who worked with the Purkiss family, in a release.

Bol and two fellow nurses visited the Purkiss home daily, allowing them to better understand the family’s needs and to build a stronger relationship with them.

Judy said the support meant her husband could relax and even enjoy spending time with his

• Be supportive. It is important for students to feel supported, but still in charge. Students who learn to manage the tension and worry associated with academic and social changes end up more successful and well-adjusted.Your role involves listening and guiding, not directing, cajoling, or pressuring.

• Encourage friendships and connection.

Students who develop meaningful relationships with peers have fewer emotional and physical symptoms of stress.

Encourage them to try new interests, develop new friendships, and go to new places - even if they’re a bit uncomfortable. Encouraging connection is especially important if your child lives at home.

Going away to college or university marks a milestone in the lives of young adults and their parents.

For the child, it’s an exciting time to develop new relationships, take on additional responsibility and develop their own identity.

For parents, it can be a time when they begin to ask themselves,“What role do I play?”

Hearing stories of drinking, bullying and property damage at school can worry parents about how to keep their kids safe. Dr. David Wolfe, director of Centre for Addiction and Mental Health’s Centre for Prevention Science has developed a tip sheet to help parents better communicate and build healthy relationships with their children as they transition.

Tips for parents: • Be a parent, not a friend. While growing up children learned to depend on you for mature advice and guidance. Continue this role, and step back a bit from needing to know everything in their life.

• Don’t intrude. Let them make new friends, while knowing you’re still a major part of their life. Try to resist the temptation to contact them too often, through emails, text messages, Facebook and phone calls. Let them take the lead.

• Don’t pressure.

Parents are sometimes too eager to see their kids find their niche, settle their plans, and reach their goals. This can come across to them as pressure or demands.

Finding their niche takes time, and it’s their time and their life.

• Avoid“helicopter parenting.”Some say today’s parents are more hovering and protective than previous generations, which can make the process of transition difficult for some who are used to daily contact with parents. While it is important that you provide ongoing support and remain involved and interested in your child’s life, you must be willing to back-off and let them grow.

• Encourage new ideas. College and university is a time to explore new options and be exposed to new possibilities, so encourage them to investigate new courses and interests, even if it could mean a change in focus or delay in complet-

• Assist with time and money management.

Many students are ill-prepared at managing their time or their finances, which contributes to their stress. Many students also have credit cards and amass sizeable debt, yet they may not have a good understanding of how to manage it. Resist

• Recommend academic and student counselling resources.

If your child seems to be struggling, the first line of defence may be to have them speak to a counsellor. Academic or mental health counsellors can help students find the right courses, learn better

study habits, and can also assist with all other aspects of health and wellbeing, including therapies to improve coping skills and strengthen relationships and connections.

Getting children involved in making their own lunches is one suggestion from the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

WE’RE IT!

Tips, tricks for healthy lunches Time to Start gives parents tools to provide kids a healthy school year A recent poll from the Heart and Stroke Foundation found that the majority of Canadian parents (81%) provide their children with lunches and snacks at school that are packed for them at home.

But with 22% of parents saying their children are picky eaters, the challenge is ensuring they eat what is packed for them.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Time to Start campaign, running through Sept. 8, is arming parents with the tips and tricks they need to pack healthier options that their kids will love.

“Picky eaters can be a challenge,”says Carol

Dombrow, a Heart and Stroke Foundation registered dietitian.“Try engaging your kids by getting them more involved in snack and lunch preparation. see DOWNLOAD, page 26

Photog captures ‘happy’ village life in north India

By Janis Warren

village off the beaten track in northern India is the subject of a new photography exhibit that opens tomorrow at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts.

Four years ago, while in the country for his wife’s conference in Delhi, Alan Maples captured the people and landscapes of Tordi, Rajasthan, using a Sony NEX-7.

“It’s such an unspoiled village,” the North Vancouver artist and architect said. “It has a nice sense of community and happy people who appeared not to have seen tourists before.”

During his visit, schoolchildren followed him and his group around. And Maples gave one of the older children a small camera to picture him while photographing Tordi.

Maples described the village as being ideal to snap.

“Rajastan is very dry and has intense sunlight,” he said. “The women wear the most incredible coloured saris and jewellery.

“With the colours they paint the buildings and the ochre of the earth, it makes for a beautiful palette that really glows.”

Maples, who in 2009 exhibited his images under a collection called Water and Light at Place

des Arts, will have 20 framed pieces in Colors of Rajasthan.

And he hopes soon to display his portfolio of recent trips to Japan, Hong Kong and the Philippines.

• Colors of Rajasthan will be in the Atrium Gallery at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam) from Sept. 5 to Oct. 5. The opening reception for the exhibit will be held on Thursday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. to coincide with the Kim Vergil’s media media show, One Day... week, month, year, and the facility’s annual teacher and staff exhibit, Art Feats. jwarren@tricitynews.com

I don’t look when I’m painting, dream artist says

By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NeWs

When Montreal artist Kim Vergil paints, she tries not to look. “I stay as detached as possible. I’m trying not to let the ego paint for me,”she said.

And after she’s done, a big part of her process is standing back, flipping it upside and listening to what the images have to say. “That’s when you discover what it’s all about.You’re finding the story and the dream within it.”

Vergil’s acrylic work is deeply tied to dream abstractions.

As a child, she was aware how growth happened through dreams. Then, she often had repetitive dreams that concluded with a final version, of which she would never return to that scenario.

COURTesY OF KIm VeRGIl

Day Four, Piano Bar will be at Place des Arts.

Later, as an adult artist, she pursued her passion of interpreting dreams.

Seven years ago, she took a dream analysis class and, halfway through, she showed her art portfolio to teacher Layne Dalfen.

Vergil told her, “I don’t paint my dreams. I paint and it produces a dream.”

Vergil was anxious to know what that meant. Dalfen, a member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, invited Vergil to curate an art show for participants of the IASD conference happening in Montreal in 2008, of which she was hosting.

And the rest is history. Vergil followed the conferences in the United States and around the world, curating the dream-inspired artwork for each event.

And the more Vergil learned, “the more I started to realize my artwork — and the way I had been producing my artwork — was

very much the way we produced our night dreams.”

Last year, on Mother’s Day, Vergil began a new year-long project, titled One Day... week, month, year, based on her dream journaling.

The concept is this: She collected about 30 photographs from one day, made a collage and painted on a canvas the next morning; then, she photographed each day during a week that resulted in a single tableau. She continued the weekly pattern for a month.

And, the following month, she would gather all the pictures she snapped (about 800) over 30 or 31 days and distilled them into one piece.Vergil did that every month for a year.

For her Place des Arts show, she will display 22 new pieces based on her daily life and dreams over 12 months. see dReAm WeAveR, page 33

Dreams, she said, can have an impact in people’s lives, especially with problem solving. “If you live to 85, you dream for 20 years. That’s every night, every 45 minutes for half-an-hour, averaging five dreams a night.

That’s a lot of information that we just kind of go, ‘Oh, that’s a silly dream,’ which is not true.”

• Kim Vergil will be giving a talk on dream abstractions — along

with guest poet Carolyn Bell — at the opening reception of her new exhibit on Thursday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. One Day... week, month, year runs from tomorrow (Thursday) until Nov. 9 in the Leonore Peyton Salon at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam).

Ravens poised for a big year on the gridiron Terry Fox takes aim at title while Centennial looks for improvement

By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

Dan EbEnal/ThE Tri-CiTy nEws

Natalia Kaczmarek with the CMFSC Threat tries to elude a pair of West Vancouver defenders in U18 girls action at the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Labour Day Tournament. The Threat knocked off West Van 3-1 on their way to winning the U18 division with a 6-1 victory over the Prince George Kodiaks.

ElainE FlEury phoTo

A Coquitlam CMFSC Vila player challenges his Surrey Stallions opponent for the ball in the U13 final at the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Labour Day Tournament. Surrey won the game 3-0.

It’s hard to top perfection, but members of last year’s B.C. junior varsity football champions will be looking to do just that when they take the field with the Terry Fox Ravens senior team.

“On the offensive side of the ball, our key player is Conner McKee,” said Tomas Kudaba, co-coach of the Ravens varsity team McKee guided the Ravens junior squad to a perfect 12-0 record last year, culminated when he threw two touchdown passes to help Terry Fox topple the St. Thomas More Knights 14-7 in the BC AAA title game at BC Place.

“He is a triple threat as they say: he can run, he can throw and he can lead,” said Kudaba.

Running back Mike West and receiver Nick Agnoletto are expected to be the favourite targets for McKee. While Kyle Sagmoen and Michael Beck will be the anchors of a potentially dominant offensive line.

“We have a fairly senior offensive line with a lot of size and strength.

We’re looking forward to having them block for the running game, which will be running back by committee,” said Kudaba.

The Ravens compiled a 3-3 mark in the regular season last year, losing in the B.C. AAA quarterfinal to the eventual champion Mt. Douglas Rams.

“We weren’t too far off last year. We had

a couple of key injuries that hurt us,” said Kudaba, who focuses on the defensive side of the ball while Martin McDonnell handles the offence. “This year we’re very optimistic with the success of the junior varsity.”

Fr e e s a f e t y Ky l e Miller and linebacker/ strong safety Jason Shamatutu will lead the swarming Ravens’ defence.

“When we went to our team camp in the United States in late June, they only allowed one touchdown in all the scrimmages we had against American high school teams,” said Kudaba, adding that most of last year’s starters will be back with the Ravens this season.

“All these guys will have varsity experience, so they might be young but they’ll also be battle hardened.”

The Ravens open their exhibition season against West Van at 3:45 p.m. Sept. 6 at Terry Fox before travelling to Mt. Douglas Sept. 14 for an exhibition contest against the defending champion Rams.

The Ravens success on the field has also served as inspiration for their cross-town rivals.

“For us, we understand we’re in a very challenging division,” said Simon Quinto, head coach for the Centennial Centaurs. “We always use Terry Fox as a measuring stick because they’re always a strong competitor but we love having the challenge of that as well.”

After struggling on the field last season, the Centaurs have brought in a new system to overhaul the offence.

“We’re running an offence that is catered to

our mobile quarterback as well as our feature back,” said Quinto, who moves up to the varsity squad after coaching the juniors last season.

“We’re going with a spread offence which is quite exciting for the kids.”

Signal-caller Nick Okamoto is one of eight returning veterans on the Centaurs and he will be joined in the backfield by J.P. Kalambay.

“We ran a different offence and he played the fullback position but he’ll be our feature back this year,” said Quinto, who expects Jordan Kennedy to lead Centennial’s corps of speedy receivers.

Middle linebacker Aaron Borg will lead the defence that will be using more nickel packages to emphasize the Centaurs’ speedy secondary.

“We’re going to mix it up. We’ll play zone but we also recognize that a lot of our DBs enjoy the challenge of playing man-on-man,” said Quinto. “You get stuck on that island but you embrace it and you love the challenge.”

He said the team has been working hard the past couple weeks to get ready for their exhibition game Sept. 7 against the Seaquam Seahawks in Delta.

The Centaurs open the regular season at home against St. Thomas More Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m.

“There is a buzz and excitement that our program has right now,” said Quinto. “Just the fact the kids came out early and wanted to train on their own shows how much they want to be a part of it and it’s exciting to be around it.” sports@tricitynews.com

Lineman on track to crack NCAA roster Neil Corbett Black Press

Mason Woods stands out as a big guy on a football field. At a practice with the kids of the Golden Ears Track and Field club, he’s an absolute spectacle.

The 6’9”, 335-lb. lineman sprints down the track, like a Clydesdale racing thoroughbreds, some kids barely up to his waist.

But he’s not there to win races, just to get faster, and ultimately win a starting spot in an NCAA lineup.

“There was a lot I was doing wrong,” says the affable giant. “I didn’t realize running was so intricate.”

His knees are higher, his arms are pumping, other changes in his stride are happening, and he has dropped a couple of points off his 40-metre sprint.

He’ll never line up at running back, but he’s confident the increased speed is going to pay dividends.

“You can apply running to everything we do,” he said.

Woods went to school at Maple Ridge secondary for Grades 8-9, but he wasn’t a football star yet.

“I had more of a bas-

Mason Woods has been doing speed work with the Golden Ears Track and Field Club this summer, hoping to win a spot on an NCAA football roster. ketball drive back then,” he said.

But as he grew, and discovered football, Woods wanted to be part of a gridiron program, and got the opportunity to play for the always-tough Terry Fox Ravens in Port Coquitlam for Grades 11 and 12.

“They have a long legacy of great teams.”

He played on both sides of the ball, and

was part of an outstanding defence. His first year there, Fox lost the provincial championship game to Vancouver College. His Grade 12 year was with a younger team that did not get that far in the playoffs. He was the team captain, and finished the season with 30 tackles and eight sacks.

His big success was a full-ride NCAA scholarship with the

Idaho Vandals.

They flew him out to Moscow, Idaho for an official visit in February of his graduating year.

He met the players and saw an opportunity to jump into a building program.

“I wanted to be part of the change coming up,” he said.

Last year he redshirted, which meant a lot of practising and weight training, but no

playing time.

He takes it in stride, knowing he is a teenager up against men 23 and 24 years old, who have been working on their games longer than him. Even this year he may not get an opportunity to play.

“In high school, you can get away with just being big or just being strong,” he said.

He has a lot to learn about football, lining up opposite American kids who have been playing the game since they were five or six years old. Things he has to remember are automatic to them.

“You don’t realize how much thinking goes into football,” he said.

Then there are all the little tricks that a lineman has to know to give himself an edge — like footwork, head placement, the angle their knees should be bent to. Now when he watches pro football, he doesn’t watch the ball as much as he watches the linemen — the battle in the trenches.

There’s a lot to learn, but he’s soaking it in.

“I’ve really enjoyed it, it’s a great experience.”

On a typical school day, Woods does class for four hours, followed

Make cash not trash!

by an hour and a half in the gym, about an hour of film, practise for two or three more hours, ending with about another hour in the film room.

“My goal this year is to make the travel squad, and get my list numbers up,” he said.

He is bench pressing about 330 pounds — which is a very respectable number for the longest arms on the team — squatting 350 pounds, and does power cleans (from the ground

to neck level) with 260 pounds.

He has gotten faster this summer, with the one-on-one coaching he has received from the local track club. He said he can feel more power in his legs.

He doesn’t want to just be on the field, he wants to make an impact.

“I want to be able to drive and get distance, and open up a lot more holes,” he said.

“I just want to get faster — get better.”
