Fraser cuts surgeries to cut costs

This is why they call it a lacrosse stick

Wait times are much longer than Vancouver Coastal By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Fraser Health has curtailed surgeries in order to avoid an operating room budget overrun despite the fact surgical wait times at its hospitals are already significantly longer than for patients in the neighbouring Vancouver Coastal region. Dr. Peter Blair, director of the surgical program for Fraser Health, said the reduction of surgeries since January and February was “only by a few per cent” and

not the 20% cut a White Rock orthopedic surgeon claimed last week. Dr. Arno Smit, chief of surgery at Peace Arch Hospital, told Black Press a waiting list crisis is coming unless the health authority reverses the cuts and authorizes more use of mothballed operating rooms. Blair said he’s hopeful Fraser Health will soon be granted a budget increase that will allow for more surgeries but said the curtailed surgical pace is continuing for now. It’s not a budget cut, he said, but a reduction in actual surgeries performed to bring OR spending back down to budgeted levels. see 20,000, page 12

Changes in works for local school cafeterias By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam Adanacs battled the Nanaimo Timbermen on Sunday evening in BC Junior A Lacrosse League play at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. The home team came out well ahead, winning 18-10, their second victory in a row. The Junior Adanacs are next in action Friday evening against their crosstown rivals, the Port Coquitlam Saints, at the PoCo recreation complex. The Saints are coming off two consecutive losses. See page 31.

School cafeterias will undergo a transition in September as School District 43 looks to cut spending while also keeping revenues afloat to balance the budget. Students at middle school will still be able to hang out in their cafeterias next year but won’t

be able to buy hot meals as the kitchens will be closed — and approximately seven cafeteria positions eliminated to save money. The district hopes to save approximately $145,000 with this cut to help defray a $13.4-million budget deficit for the 2014/’15 school year. see HIGH SCHOOL, page 12

Book bus burns, CPL looks to replace it as soon as possible By Diane Strandberg THe Tri-CiTY News

Its burned-out, waterlogged shell is sitting in an ICBC holding area awaiting an insurance settlement. But for many children and adults, Coquitlam Public Library’s book bus is a memory of happy summer days reading in a city park. On Saturday, the bus that logged many kilometres and loaned out many books in the Cottonwood and Burke Mountain neighbourhoods as well as city parks over the last five years, burned when a fire started in the engine compartment. Library director Todd Gnissios said the cause of the blaze is unknown

but it was quickly doused when sprinklers in the City Centre branch’s bus bay let loose and the Coquitlam Fire/Rescue responded to finish the job and employ fans to re-direct smoke from the library. “We are grateful for the quick response of the fire department,” Gnissios said, adding that the prompt reaction by firefighters to pressurize the building so smoke wouldn’t infiltrate the rooms and book stands seemed to pay off because, by Sunday, the smoke had dissipated and there was no smell or smoke damage to books. The library had to be evacuated, though, Gnissios said. “It was a full fledged fire,” he said,

engine or electrical area and quickly spread but was contained to the bus. The call was received at approximately 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Assistant Chief Rod Gill said, and the fire started after the bus had just returned to its storage area from a trip to Cottonwood Park. Nobody was hurt. The parking garage below sustained some water damage, Gnissios said, but he has been assured it is safe. “As of right now, the library is open, the loading bay is disabled since the garage door was open and the motor was destroyed. But we lost some equipment and supplies, and there was lots of smoke and water damage.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

“We’re going to try and do as much as we can,”Gnissios said. Over the years, many children and adults visited the book bus, which would visit city parks in the summer plus Tri-City Family Place to provide patrons in these areas with library services. Librarians, with Class 3 driver’s licenses, would check out books and read stories to children. In the Cottonwood area, refugees and new immigrants could learn about library services through the book bus while residents in the newly established area of Burke Mountain could access services without driving or walking far. According to the Coquitlam Fire/Rescue, the blaze started in the

adding that he was at the branch just as smoke started began billowing from the converted 1992 Ford Econoline van that had been purchased from West Vancouver Public Memorial Library in 2008. Gnissios believes the book bus — which hosted 4,579 patron visits and circulated 13,649 items last year alone — was the last in the Lower Mainland and, possibly, the end of an era. It’s his goal, however, to have a temporary mobile book bus running by this week and he will be settling insurance claims and speaking with the library board to figure out next steps, although any future plans would require government and community support.

Port Moody taxpayers shelled out nearly a quarter of a million dollars last year for their politicians’ salaries and expenses. The financial disclosures, which the city was expected to post on its website last night (Tuesday), show Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay earned $73,437 last year and MIKE CLAY charged $3,758 in auto expenses and costs for attending four conferences. Clay, who bought an electric car last year, is permitted to claim for the wear and tear on his vehicle and the kilometres driven to do municipal business, a city spokesperson said Monday. The report also shows the six councillors each received $25,423 in pay — one third of which is tax-free — but their expenses vary. Coun. Diana Dilworth submitted the highest amount at $2,182 for mileage and parking fees ($396) and to attend the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ (FCM) national conference and trade show in Vancouver from May 31 to June 3 ($1,785). Dilworth’s bill was more than double other PoMo delegates at the FCM convention as she was the only council member who stayed at a hotel, which cost the city $858 on top of the $735 registration fee (a call to Dilworth was not returned by The TriCity News’ deadline yesterday). Coun. Bob Elliott had the second-highest expense claim, totalling $2,104 for auto ($85) plus attendance at FCM ($682), the Lower Mainland Local Government Association (LMLGA) convention in Harrison Hot Springs ($806) and the Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver ($530). Following Elliott’s expenses are councillors Zoe Royer ($1,759); Gerry Nuttall ($1,660); Rick Glumac ($1,637); and Rosemary Small ($1,609). A city spokesperson said staff plan to have council members’ expenses available on the website on a monthly basis, starting this summer. The 2013 financial disclosures for Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam councils are set to come out by next month.

Parents rally for public education, promise to start online discussion funding by Victoria. Gable said SD43 has done the best it could with funding but can’t meet increasing expenses with existing operating grants. She also noted that school parent advisory councils are having to fundraise for things that aren’t frills, pointing out the latest job cuts will include teachers, psychologists and speech and language pathologists. “This isn’t fluff and PACs can’t fundraise for more psychologists,” Gable said.

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

A group of parents who planned a successful public education rally last week are hoping the momentum from that event doesn’t cease with the passage of school budgets around the province. Lisa Cable, who has a son in School District 43 and a daughter who will soon enter kindergarten, said a website will be set up soon on which people can publish their stories about how education cuts are affecting them. “We want to make it easy for parents,” said Cable, whose group, called Parents4BC, already has a Facebook page and is soliciting comments and providing information. Cable said the group isn’t aligned politically but the goal is to collect stories from parents from the website, print them out and take them to Victoria. “Ultimately, we are trying to be very careful,” she said. “We’re not out to attack anyone but, at the end of the day, the people that can make the change on our behalf are in the provincial government. We need to get out our message so something can happen.” She said the group’s focus began with the Tri-Cities, where $13.4 million was cut from SD43’s budget, passed last Tuesday, including the cutting of 150 jobs. But she said there are

Cable also said she was pleased at the turnout at last Friday’s rally in front of Port MoodyCoquitlam MLA Linda Reimer’s office at Suter Brook in Port Moody. More than 100 parents, children, educators and

politicians turned out to the event, many of them carrying signs. Among the speakers were Reimer, a BC Liberal, CoquitlamMaillardville NDP MLA Selina Robinson and Heidi Gable, past president of the District Parent Advisory Committee. Reimer said she would take the parents’ message to the Ministry of

Education but also said that funding has increased over the last 13 or 14 years. As well, she said the province must control its spending to retain its triple-A credit rating, a statement that drew grumbles and negative comments from the crowd. Robinson told the demonstrators the problem with cuts at public schools is chronic under-

By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

The 11th person to be bestowed with the Freedom of the City got a standing ovation from a packed crowd in the Coquitlam council chambers this week. The special ceremony on Monday night saw Don Cunnings, Coquitlam’s first director of parks and leisure services, bestowed with the city’s highest distinction. Longtime council members Lou Sekora and Mae Reid confer the medal and lapel pin, with Sekora praising Cunnings for being a “mover and shaker” and for laying the foundation for Town Centre Park. Afterward, Cunnings told council he was surprised when he got the letter from the city last December that he would receive the accolade. And he passed on a few words of advice to Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s acting general manager of parks and recreation: “Make sure you have lots of money in your land sales reserve because it certainly did help me.” Cunnings, a Pitt M e a d ow s r e s i d e n t , worked for the city from

RETAIL SPACE

A strip of land across the street from Parkland elementary is set to be consolidated for retail. On Monday, council gave first reading to rezone the vacant property at 1649 Como Lake Ave., close to Poirier Street, and send the bid to public hearing. It’s not the first time the city has received a proposal for commercial development for the parcel, which is located west

of the Chevron gas station. In 2011, city council put a plan by owners Choon Ja and Chang Suk Soh on hold after neighbours rallied to keep the lot residential. Last year, Tideway Development, on behalf of the owners, brought forward a new plan for a one-storey strip mall with four units. If the plan is approved, the property would be joined with the adjacent commercial site that used to house the Harbour Mart grocery store. City council last week rezoned part of the Parkland elementary site at Poirier facing Como Lake for eight singlefamily homes. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Allard said the alternate route — via Mariner Way and Austin Avenue, and north on Poirier — costs time and money for his company, which is delivering 800 loads of concrete for the high school replacement project.

Council directed city engineers to work with Allard, who also asked for temporary use by his trucks of Guildford Way and Johnson Street to avoid delays related to Evergreen Line construction on Pinetree Way and Barnet Highway. Allard told council he plans to meet with Amanda Farrell, Evergreen’s project director, this week to talk about traffic safety concerns. jwarren@tricitynews.com

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

obody should have to make decisions about whether to keep speech and language support, psychology or gifted services for students, or to set money aside for a contingency fund. But that’s exactly what happened last week when School District 43 was forced to make tough choices to balance its operating budget. Originally, the Tri-Cities’ school trustees had planned to set aside up to $900,000 for a contingency fund for unplanned expenses, a paltry amount given SD43’s approximately $267-million operating budget. But after hearing pleas from parents and SD43 staff, the decision was made to whittle the contingency to just $500,000, even though the emergency fund had been recommended by a forensic audit of the district’s troubled books. The remaining contingency will hardly be enough to cover extra costs — say, higher than normal snow removal and heating expenses after a tough winter, teachers’ sick day coverage or higher legal costs. Even before it was chopped almost in half to pay for gifted education, speech and language support, and psychologists, the fund was more of a symbolic gesture. Anyone who has done a home renovation knows that a contingency is quickly eaten up with unplanned expenses. But for SD43, the contingency-or-kids decision came with even more challenges. On the one hand, trustees were told that pulling back school funds mid-year to cover extra costs was damaging so a fund was needed. But there was also the concern that these so-called “saved” funds from slashing jobs would be seen as a slush fund by the province, which could then demand it back to pay for new schools or to rebuild older schools. While the chance of this happening in SD43 is slim — because any extra cash would first have to pay down the district’s deficit — many districts consider this cash grab to be a very real concern. In fact, the province has told districts they have to pay up to 50% for large capital projects, raising the possibility that any “surplus” from a “prudent” contingency would go to pay for lumber and concrete instead of services for kids. This goes against the notion that capital and operating costs are separate, and makes the prudent practice of saving money for emergencies an unattractive option. Should school districts be hoarding cash for an unknown future? Of course not, but they deserve some clarity from the province about contingency funds.

‘Vocational school’ is finally back in style in B.C. BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he B.C. government has rolled out its ambitious overhaul of the public education system, from kindergarten to graduate school. The formal title is B.C.’s Skills For Jobs Blueprint: Re-engineering Education and Training. It’s designed to dovetail with the Harper regime’s Canada Job Grant, which requires employers to co-sponsor training spaces so they will hire the students at the end. Elementary and middle school curricula are being revised to increase emphasis on handson experience. High school and post-secondary skilled trades programs are getting more money but it’s going to be shifted from underperforming programs that don’t lead to jobs. Premier Christy Clark took another swipe at the bias of B.C.’s education system before heading to Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong on another liquefied natural gas sales

trip. She noted that 20% of B.C. students, and nearly half of aboriginal students, don’t finish high school. “Not only are there kids who don’t graduate, there are kids who graduate, go out and get one or two credentials before they finally find their way into a skills training program,”said Clark, who had her own wander through university campuses before going into politics. A couple of weeks ago, Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter downplayed the“relatively small”skilled trades shortage for B.C. industry. “We should not be engaged in a zero-sum kind of battle for dollars,”Petter protested. That’s exactly what he and other university executives are looking at, and it will be based on the latest graduate employment data and labour demand forecasts. One of the key architects of this sweeping plan is Jessica McDonald, who shook up the public service while serving as Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister. Her report on trades training confirms what Campbell’s critics in the labour movement have long said: The gov-

ernment’s 10-year experiment with the Industry Training Authority is a rudderless mess. “Certain partners, particularly organized labour, feel marginalized,”McDonald wrote. “Others, particularly employers and employers’ associations, do not feel heard within the system. Over the recent past, several new directions have been introduced such as deregulation of trades and modular training that have caused strain because they were not fully inclusive during development, were seen to benefit single interests, and they impacted the whole system.” The ITA board is being replaced, with union representation restored, and advisory councils from industrial employers will update their hiring needs. The BC Federation of Labour and the construction unions have all but abandoned the NDP after Adrian Dix’s disastrous pitch for urban anti-industry votes last year. BC Fed president Jim Sinclair was an early advocate for rescuing skilled trades from the secondclass status they received in a culture fixated for two generations on university.

That culture has created glaring problems. There are too many institutions offering the same courses. As with health care, block funding is handed out without any serious effort to measure the results. For many students, university has become an extension of adolescence, where they get to find themselves through philosophy or film studies. Employers get their share of blame from McDonald. Not only did they chop up trades training to make it cheaper to obtain, their preferred source of skilled workers has been to poach from other employers who paid to train them. Skills-based employment data will be made public for students to make career choices. Finally, students coming out of high school will have a way to assess what they can expect after $50,000 or more is spent on higher education. It’s about time.

‘Underfunding,’ no. Little ‘truth’ to speak of in ‘Overspending,’ yes Fletcher’s climate column

City must lead biz on Styro.

Gleneagle secondary school offers an example of spending that’s out of control in SD43: In addition to its core subjects, the school offers 131 elective courses. At least 25% of these electives should not be offered by public schools — they are the domain of the private sector, including: ceramics and sculpture (two courses); photography; drama; tourism; yearbook publishing; keyboarding; 10 foreign language courses; aerobics; fitness (two courses); guitar; theatre (six courses); and, so on.

Report a problem bear: 1-877-952-7277 bearaware.ca

There are lots of private sector institutions that can satisfy a child’s desire to take such courses. There is no need to burden the public sector with the costs of these courses. Why should the taxpayer pay for my son to learn guitar and Japanese? It’s absurd. I’m not a big fan of the provincial government but don’t blame Victoria in this case, blame those responsible for the overspending. I’m sure all of us who live within our personal means can understand this. Bob Parsons, Coquitlam

TOM FLETCHER viewing of scientists. One 100-year-old engineer who recalls an outbreak in 1930, which seems perfectly reasonable. No one said the current pine beetle just appeared due to climate change, or is that what you are confused about? I’m sure Mr. Swanell has done his best but he would have been around 90 years old when the alarm bells were really ringing and unlikely to have been keeping up with recent journals. Which is what I’m suggesting to you. Read

the literature. Don’t come up with halfbaked ideas about complicated scientific issues without looking at some actual real data yourself. Read 100 or so papers on pine beetle, climate change, tar sands. Just make sure you’re reading journals the scientific community acknowledges. I would start with Nature or Science. Of course, you are entitled to an uninformed opinion. That’s your right. Just don’t present it as “informed” and based on“fact.” Dreena Lindstrom, Coquitlam

‘CLAPTRAP’

The Editor, I do not normally read Tom Fletcher’s BC Views column but I thought I would give last week’s a try because of the heading indicating he may have found a“truth.” Well, same old claptrap.

He starts by calling down someone who had the audacity to have a different opinion than his regarding climate change. The constant denigration of any individual or group, either local or international, raising concern about pollution and climate change is tiresome. I have not seen any comment from him about the constant barrage of TV propaganda from the oil industry. In his usual manner, he goes on to grab bits of information to try to prop up his weak case for poopooing CO2 causing climate change. Nope, I think I will believe the Intergovernmental Pa n e l o n C l i m a t e Change. Fletcher’s “truth”? Pity some of his scientist friends have not explained how scientists reach best estimates of what is happening. W. Leipert, Coquitlam

The Editor, Now that Coquitlam residents can take Styrofoam products to Wastech for free recycling, it would be helpful if the city would encourage all merchants in the city to cease the use of black or other colours of styrofoam in the packaging of their wares. I have asked the meat department manager at Marketplace IGA on Johnston Street in Coquitlam to stop using black Styrofoam in the packaging of meat and fish products and he said he would discuss the suggestion with the store’s owner. It is important the city show leadership in this matter. Unless we all take the problem of garbage disposal seriously, the appropriate methods of recycling will never succeed. Helen Brown, Coquitlam

Mr. Fletcher, I see you have serious questions about mountain pine beetle and climate change. Why don’t you check out this site: www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfp/ mountain_pine_beetle/ facts.htm. It took me less than five minutes to find it and the information seems pretty reasonable. I’m pretty sure that hundreds of the province’s, not to mention the world’s, top scientists have put thousands of hours of work and research to come up with the information and it’s at least worth a look. Of course, your highly scientific study of the northern climate (one sample in January 2004, one sample in January 2013) is of interest. As is your extensive inter-

The Editor, Re. “150 job cuts as board passes schools budget” (The Tri-City News, May 2). It is interesting how School District 43 staff and trustees have misled the public into thinking that the board of education’s dilemma is an issue of “underfunding” when the real issue is one of “overspending.” Good deflection, SD43 — maybe everyone will forget that you have overspent by tens of millions of dollars. If my employer pays me a salary of $75,000 and I spend $90,000, I don’t go crying to my employer because he has “underfunded” me. I simply have to live within my means. The same principle applies to SD43 — it must not spend more than it receives. This is not rocket science. Don’t blame the government.The people to blame are school trustees.

High school cafeteria food will cost more

www.tricitynews.com

20,000 Fraser patients waiting

continued from front page

At secondary schools, students will still be able buy food at their cafeterias but it will cost 10% more and there will likely be fewer cooks to make and serve it as the district looks to carve another 14% in spending from its budget. Cafeterias are costly to run but they also generate revenue; last year, SD43 collected approximately $1.7 million from cafeteria sales. Secretary treasurer Mark Ferrari said the district hopes to generate more revenue with higher meal and snack prices, although that’s not a guarantee as some students may decide to take their business elsewhere. And the union representing cafeteria workers is concerned about the changes, especially the impact on teaching cafeterias that provide students with job experience in addition to supplying schools with hot lunches. Dave Ginter, president of CUPE Local 561, said the district should do more to run cafeterias more efficiently instead of cutting jobs, such as was done in the mid-1990s when his union studied the issue to re-open cafeterias after they were closed to save money. Ginter is also concerned that the loss of staff — through hourly reductions to cafeteria cooks and culinary assistants at five secondary schools on top of the loss of seven jobs at middle schools — will result in fewer sales and lower revenue, and make cafeterias even more costly to run. Two of SD43’s three teaching cafeterias — Centennial and Riverside — could see hourly reductions but no staffing reductions are planned for Gleneagle. The other high school cafeterias affected by proposed reductions are at Dr. Charles Best, Pinetree and Terry Fox, although reductions are still being negotiated. Ginter wants to see equipment from the mothballed middle school cafeterias sold to help defray costs at the schools that run culinary arts programs for students. “It doesn’t affect the honour [role] students,” Ginter said of the teaching kitchens, “but it affects those other kids because it’s a place for them to move ahead.” Ferrari said there are no plans to change teaching cafeterias at Gleneagle, Centennial and Riverside, and he said he expects the programs to run as normal.

“We realized we were spending money faster than we could,” Blair said of the first two months of the year. “We did need to make a significant reduction.” The department has since finished the fiscal year at the end of March within its budget. Asked if averting a deficit has driven up wait times, Blair said he hasn’t yet seen any clear evidence of that yet. But surgical wait time data reported by the provincial government shows patients at most hospitals in Fraser are already waiting considerably longer than those near Vancouver or most other parts of B.C. The two benchmarks the province uses to gauge surgical waits is how long it takes to complete 50% of cases and 90% of cases in each hospital, specialty or region. For the first three months of 2014, Fraser completed half its surgeries within 6.4 weeks — the other half of patients waited longer than that — compared to 5.1 weeks at Vancouver Coastal and 6.0 weeks for the B.C. average. Ninety per cent of surgeries performed in those months at Fraser waited less than 31.3 weeks (10% waited longer), compared to 23 weeks for

Ninety per cent of surgeries performed in the first three months of 2014 in the Fraser Health region waited less than 31.3 weeks, compared to 23 weeks for Vancouver Coastal. Vancouver Coastal and 28.3 weeks for the provincial average. That indicates patients in Fraser waited 25% to 35% longer than in Vancouver Coastal in January to March, even though two of those three months saw Fraser’s ORs running over-budget before being curtailed. “All of us have to be concerned about that,” Blair said of the wait time

disparity. He cited population growth as the main challenge making it difficult to meet wait time targets. “We’re the fastest growing health authority in British Columbia — 1,200 people a month are moving into Surrey alone,” Blair said. “We’ve got the highest birth rate and a high rate of people moving in as retirees into places like White Rock.”

He noted surgical waits vary by hospital, by specialty and by individual doctor. The Lower Mainland hospitals with the worst surgical waits in the first three months of the year were Burnaby Hospital at 47.7 weeks to reach the 90% completion mark, Abbotsford Regional at 39.2 weeks, 36.9 weeks for Langley Memorial, 36.7 weeks for B.C.

Children’s, 35.7 weeks for Peace Arch and 35 weeks for Surrey Memorial. As of March 31, Fraser hospitals had 20,233 patients awaiting surgeries, compared to 17,389 at Vancouver Coastal. A report released in February by B.C.’s auditor general showed Fraser Health has the lowest per capita funding per year in B.C. at $1,585 (in 2011/’12) — in comparison with Vancouver Coastal Health, which received $3,008 per capita. Vancouver Island Health received $2,554, Northern Health received $2,465 and Interior Health received $2,372. Blair said the action to rein in surgeries was a decision of the region’s surgeons, who met to review the threatened deficit. He said it was not related to a fiscal review into Fraser Health ordered late last year by Health Minister Terry Lake to unravel why the health region has struggled to stay within its budget allocations.

CELEBRATE MOTHER’S DAY ~ May 11th ~

sometimes take part in this celebration. Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to get into perspective the critical role played by each link of this uninterrupted chain.

Many senior women lead active, busy lives, while others are less energetic and face loneliness or illness. At this stage of life, grand mothers can be restored with a simple telephone call, a visit or an outing with the family. After all, the presence of loved ones is the most beautiful of gifts. Mother’s Day is a time to appreciate motherhood and to spend some quality time with these women who are linked to us by both love and blood. Mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers can forget their age for a little while when pleasure is on the menu. A mothers heart lights up with love when a child asks her for a small favour, even if her active parenting days are far in the past. A senior can hold off the wearying effects of Father Time by sharing family stories, singing a few favourite songs and sharing some old family recipes. These heartfelt moments bind families together and create unforgettable memories for all concerned.

Women have done so much to keep their families healthy and functioning over the years. So let’s give mothers the gratitude they deserve on this special day.

Mid-May is a great time to start prepping your garden for native plants.

However you hope to celebrate with your mother – inside or out – remember that our mothers, including Ms. Nature, cared for us long before we were welcomed into the world and each of them deserves the same amount of care and nurturing as they’ve provided us over the years.

Some good reads for Moms’ big day A GOOD READ Amelia Gabbott

omplex, fascinating, influential and diverse, relationships between mothers and children almost always make for interesting reading. In recognition of Mother’s Day, then, here are some reads that reflect the many sides of this amazing bond: • Free Spirit: Growing up on the Road and off the Grid by Joshua Safran: Safran’s mother, Claudia, is determined to find an intentional community in which to raise her son. From living in a converted bus to raising goats at a remote mountain cabin, mother and son experience many sides of the countercultural life. As the author grows, he strongly desires a more normal, stable life. Instead, he is left to deal with the aftermath of his mother’s choices, including her marriage to an abusive alcoholic. Somehow, young Safran battles through it all with wisdom and resilience. At times frustrating, and even disturbing, (particularly the accounts of domestic violence), Free

Spirit is a compelling autobiography with moments of humour and insight. • Mom & Me & Mom by Maya Angelou: Raised by her paternal grandmother in Arkansas from the age of three, Angelou went to live with her mother, Vivian, in San Francisco in her early teens. Angelou was slow to trust her mother (preferring to call her“Lady” rather than Mom at first) but their relationship eventually grew into a unique and steadfast bond. The events of both women’s lives are extraordinary. Their independent and ambitious personalities took them around the world, with both women achieving artistic, humanitarian

and career success. The memoir is a quick read and the narration is conversational and direct. It is a great introduction to the life and career of the famed American poet. • Heart Like Mine by Amy Hatvany: Told from three different perspectives (those of teenaged Ava, her mother Kelli and Ava’s stepmotherto-be Grace), this novel explores some unique challenges faced by a blended family. Although Grace never thought she would have children of her own, she is willing to take on the role of stepmother to boyfriend Victor’s son and daughter. Grace and Victor are newly engaged when tragedy strikes; Victor’s ex-wife Kelli dies suddenly, leaving her children devastated. The story does not contain many surprises but my sympathy for the characters kept me reading. While the problems raised by such a tragic scenario have no clear answers, Hatvany handles them with honesty and hope. • I Love my Mom by Anna Walker: This short and sweet picture book features a striped critter named Ollie and his

beloved mother. Soft, watercolour-style illustrations in springtime hues depict a day of simple joys for mother and child. They go for a walk and enjoy some beautiful sights but the best part of the day for Ollie is a kiss good night from mum.The book has easy, rhyming text and an uncomplicated message that should please both young children and their moms. • The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn: Chester the raccoon is not excited to start school. To make the transition easier, Mrs. Raccoon shows Chester something very special: the kissing hand. Armed with this constant reminder of his mom’s love and support, Chester finds the courage to face his fears. The sweet message of this book not only reinforces the comfort of a mother’s enduring love but it also encourages anxious children to venture beyond their comfort zones. While many read this story to prepare their youngsters for kindergarten, it’s an enjoyable read all year round. • Harriet,You’ll Drive me Wild! by Mem Fox: All in one day, the“pesky” Harriet Harris manages

to: drip paint on the carpet, knock over her juice, smear jam on her pants and so much more. Her mother handles each incident with softspoken exasperation but finally gets pushed to her breaking point by an exploded feather pillow. Showing us that it’s not only kids who make mistakes, Harriet and her mother apologize to each other and all is well again. Action-packed pencil drawings expertly convey both the humour and the frustration in this gentle story. You can find all these books and more at your local library.

Guide to Summer Activities

Camp Qwanoes’ new “Sky Station” goes out of this world! “At Qwanoes there are always new adventures every year – no summer is ever the same,” says Scott Bayley, Executive Director. “Last year we added a premier new attraction to our already-huge Challenge Course – we call it the ‘Sky Station.’ It towers amongst the trees in the heart of our camp – providing 16 connected challenges up in the sky.” “This year we’re taking it even higher! We’re adding 10 new elements and a brand new level – level three – which means there can be three levels of campers in the air at the same time!” Campers get oriented at the ‘Launch Pad,’ then climb the ‘Shuttle’ to level one or level two of the Sky Station. “What’s really cool about this is that it actually serves as a kind of ‘friend station’,” says Bayley. “Campers do this together in pairs – it’s a great way to make new friends. You make some pretty tight bonds when you’re working together to cross a rickety bridge forty

to fifty feet in the air!” Qwanoes has been growing for twenty-five years and now offers over

75 activities for campers who come from Vancouver Island, Greater Vancouver, and beyond. “Yes – we have some amazing activities, especially in our trees and at our beach – we even have a concrete skate park. But what really makes a week at Qwanoes so special is the staff. Each week there is a team of almost 200 carefully-screened staff who love kids and desire to provide the greatest week of a child’s life.”

In our plugged-in, fast-paced world... camp provides an ideal opportunity for kids to experience adventure outside and to connect with others from all kinds of backgrounds. Camp is a place filled with friendship and discovery. Confidence is gained and new skills learned. “At camp kids can try things that just don’t happen in everyday life,” says Bayley. “And it’s all in a safe place. At Qwanoes kids can be kids, kids are valued and accepted, and fun is a big part of each day.” Since 1966 kids have been experiencing these kind of adventures and a whole lot more at Qwanoes, nestled

beside Maple Mountain on a quiet bay in Crofton about one hour north of Victoria. “Whether it’s paddle surfing, mounting boarding, kayaking or skateboarding... there’s something for everyone and it all happens in a spectacular oceanfront west-coast setting.” Qwanoes is a Christian camp, and an ideal place for fun-filled, life-changing adventure. All are welcome and there still is some space available for this summer.

SASAMAT OUTDOOR CENTRE

Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club is Making a Difference in the Fight Against Childhood Cancer The KICK FOR A CURE is a childhood cancer initiative founded to raise awareness about childhood cancer and the need for increased funding towards pediatric cancer research. Proceeds from the KICK FOR A CURE benefit the Michael Cuccione Foundation towards childhood cancer research.

The event includes an adult 6-aside adult tournament, a youth 3-aside tournament, and a youth soccer clinic and a kid’s fun zone plus much more!

The first tournament took place in 2007 in Port Moody and featured only a handful of 6 v 6 co-ed teams made up of primarily border services teams with a few members of the community. Since that time the event has continued to grow by leaps and bounds and In 2011 KICK FOR A CURE moved to Coquitlam Town Centre Park to help accommodate the demand needed for participants, teams, events, and supporters. Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club became involved in 2010 and is proud to be a part of such an event.

Soccer is about teamwork, spirit, strength and the fight to win. Those touched by cancer share a similar journey and need the same strength and courage to win their individual fight. Together we can all work towards making a massive difference to those kids whose lives have been shaken forever. Your support and the important contribution of your time and energy will enhance our quest. Join us in kicking childhood cancer where it hurts!

Coquitlam’s Tate Zawadiuk.

otter Pat Schendel is sure her protégé will surpass her in the end. The president of the Fraser Valley Potters’ Guild, Schendel met Brandon Martin three years ago at the Surrey campus of Kwantlen Polytechnic University, where her 100-member group holds its monthly meetings. The pair struck an immediate friendship. Not only did they have a connection through David Lloyd, a ceramics instructor at Kwantlen (where Martin was studying) and the guild’s vice president, but they also shared a love for crystalline glazes. Schendel took Martin under her wing and the two developed the craft, in their own unique ways: Hers is a more conservative approach, staying with the same glazes and forms as the past two decades; his is a more experimental venture. “He’s very much trial-and-error, more of a techie,” she said.“It’s wonderful to watch.” Tomorrow (Thursday), the mentor and her student will open a new exhibit in the Atrium at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts, showcasing about 60 vases, bottles and bowls covered in exploding crystals of various shapes and sizes. Perfecting the crystalline glaze isn’t an easy task and it requires plenty of patience and practice. That’s because the glazes are fickle and take time to formulate and fire in the kiln. Less than half of the pieces turn out and, many times, the crystals don’t break on the surface.“Crystals are very, very temperamental,” Schendel said. “The process is a precise science.” In general, here’s how the magic works: The specialized glaze — made up mostly of grit, silica and zinc — is applied very fluidly (a catch basin and pedestal are made for each piece to contain the run-off) and, while in the kiln at about 2,100 degrees F, the crystals grow inside the glaze. They start out as tiny “seeds” that can appear anywhere on the piece. When the glaze is first fired in the kiln, everything melts. Then, there is a cooling period where the crystals burst on the seeds. And the longer the glaze stays on at that temperature, the larger the crystals mature. The typical cooling time is between six and 12 hours. Best of all, the results are always unpredictable. “It’s chemistry and nature coming together,” Martin said. “Like a plant, you put something in a pot and you see how it turns out.”

Cellist, 16, to honour his mother A Coquitlam cello prodigy will have in the crowd for his solo on Sunday the person who nurtured his love for music: His mother. Tate Zawadiuk said his mom will be at Massey Theatre for the Mother’s Day show to see her 16-year-old boy play Antonin Dvorak’s Cello Concerto in B-Minor, Opus 104, with the New Westminster Symphony Orchestra (NWSO) — an ensemble that both she and her other son, Luke, used to play with as violinists years ago. “It’s good that she’ll be there because I can show her I’ve come a long way,” Zawadiuk told The Tri-City News last Friday. Zawadiuk said the instrument “was picked for me” at the age of three. And he has become something of a sensation over the past few years, scooping awards and contests across Canada as well as gaining attention from professionals. At 12, Zawadiuk won top marks at the Burnaby Clef concerto competition, a prize that allowed him to make his debut as a soloist with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. The principal cellist with the Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestra, Zawadiuk has scored wins at the Canadian Music Competition for strings.

When the stars align, the pieces can be mesmerizing, with the crystals shimmering and shifting like holograms. Halos can also appear, Schendel said. As for her process, she works in a home studio on a computerized kiln with electric fire that she can control. It’s one she bought from a Langley store after a major meltdown with a manual kiln that had a rod. “That was 15 years ago and I have never looked back since. I’ve also gotten better results with it,” she said of her digitalized machine. Schendel’s pieces have caught the eye of many admirers: she has created series such as flowers, waves and lava pools. Luckily, for Tri-City residents, she and Martin will be teaching their skill to 12 participants at a three-night workshop at Place des Arts (the sessions run May 16, 23 and 30). They will work with the Cone 6 crystalline glaze, a rare one in the Lower Mainland that produces smaller crystals, Schendel said. • The opening reception for the exhibit Crystalline Porcelain is at 7 p.m. on May 8 at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam). Also launching that night are displays from Lil Chrzan (Illuminations, oil on canvas) and Anouk Jonker (With Matter and Means, multiple media).

While the Grade 11 student does his academic studies online, he trains with two of the country’s leading chamber musicians: Ariel Barnes (formerly with the Borealis String Quartet) and John Kadz, a cello instructor in the Conservatory at Mount Royal University (MRU) in Calgary and at the Glenn Gould School in Toronto. Zawadiuk, who has a scholarship with MRU, flies every month to Calgary to work with Kadz. “Tate is passionate about his cello,” Kadz said. “This season alone, he has prepared two complete cello concertos that test the finest cellists. Along with the Dvorak, Tate recently performed the complete Shostakovich cello concerto for t h e Va n c o u v e r Music Festival and was chosen as Vancouver’s string representative to the BC provincial music festival. “Tate is a tremendously charismatic young performer. He has that rare quality of catching and holding the attention of an audience with his beautiful sound, solid technical control and amazing energy. “In my opinion, his talent is huge,” Kadz said.

EVERGREEN CULTULRAL CENTRE

Moms can have a laugh with comedians on Mother’s Day Fort McMurray pops up a lot in conversation with Erica Sigurdson. The Vancouver comedian, who will be with Patrick Maliha and Ivan Decker for a special Mother’s Day show in Coquitlam on Sunday, talks about how CBC Radio tracked down her mom — who, at the time, was living in the Alberta oil region — on Mother’s Day to get her take on being a parent to a funny girl. And only two months ago, Sigurdson was in Fort McMurray with Maliha for a routine before families of the oil

sands workers. The pair was asked to play it up at the close of a winter festival, in a modern high school theatre built by Suncor Energy. “Being up there is a lot different than in Vancouver,” Sigurdson said. “It’s not the kind of Wild West you think about. In fact, it’s more reserved than down here. They are more religious and more conservative.” Sigurdson, who performs four nights a week on average, said Lower Mainland comedy clubs can sometimes be offputting, with more alcohol consumed and audi-

By contrast, a theatre venue such as the Evergreen Cultural Centre is more friendly because of the seating, lighting and sound arrangements, she said.

2 in a row for A’s (Saints, too) Wins for Adanacs, losses for PoCo The Nanaimo Timbermen were late getting to the arena Sunday in Coquitlam — and their game got there even later. Coquitlam Adanacs trounced the Vancouver Island team 18-10 in BC Junior A Lacrosse League play at Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Led by six-point performances by three p l aye r s — Jo r d a n Magnusson (two goals, four assists), Chase McIntyre and Erik Klein (three and three each) — and a five-point night from Kyle Heiling, the host Adanacs jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the first period before outscoring Nanaimo 8-6 in the second and tying the visitors with three apiece in the final frame. Jordan Gilles also potted a hat-trick for Coquitlam, who were backstopped by goalies Riley Camazzola (17 saves) and Justin MacLennan (10 saves), who each let in five goals. In their previous out-

ing last Wednesday, the A’s edged the Delta Islanders 9-7 at home. They next play their crosstown rivals, the Port Coquitlam Saints, on Friday at 8 p.m. at the PoCo rec complex. The Saints are coming off a close 8-6 loss at home to the Victoria Shamrocks on Sunday evening, a day after falling 10-7 to the Delta Islanders at Sungod Arena. Po C o a n d t h e Shamrocks left the opening frame tied at three apiece but the visitors picked up an extra goal in each of the following periods for the win. Connor Frost led the Saints in points with a goal and two assists while the host side got two-point nights from Nathan Marken and Dylan Foulds as well as goaltender Giulio DelBianco, who picked up a pair of assists while also racking up 45 saves. After PoCo plays host to Coquitlam Friday evening, the Saints head to Nanaimo to battle the Timbermen the next day, then travel to New Westminster to take on the Salmonbellies next Tuesday.

PoCo’s Walter is tops again Once is an accomplishment. Twice is amazing. For the second consecutive year, Chanel Walter, a youth player with PoCo Euro-Rite FC (PCERFC), was awarded the Vancouver Metro Select League’s Playerof-the-Year Award. Captain of PCERFC’s U18 Rush and a standout with the club’s Elite Academy, Walter was voted the top pick of the league field from more than 215 eligible players from across the province. In 2013, Walter was awarded the U16 Playerof-the-Year Award over a similar field of players. The honour is given to the player who receives the most votes in the post-game reports

provided by both the home and away coaches throughout the 22-game regular season. This is the first time in club history a player has won back-to-back league MVP awards. Walter is in Grade 11 at Terry Fox secondary school, where she competes for the Ravens soccer and volleyball teams. She coaches and mentors PoCo’s younger female athletes. Her rise through soccer began with the club’s mini-system at the age of six and progressed through to the Metro Select levels. “Chanel is an incredible athlete and has been our leader both on and off the field,” said U18 team coach Tara Herbrik.

Walter’s plans include playing collegiate soccer after graduating from Fox next year. She was to be given the award at a club event Tuesday evening at the Gathering Place at Leigh Square in PoCo. Also at the event, the club was to award its 2014 scholarship recipient winners to graduating youth players; 2014 honourees include; Carter Kelly, Jordan Nolet, Adam Pruner, Giovanni Rossi and Trevor Sclater. The winners are chosen from the club’s roster of youth players based on a number of considerations, including soccer commitment, volunteer work, community involvement and scholastic achievement.

Express bow out in fight for nats After an impressive playoff run that seemed to spell destiny for the Coquitlam Express, the local Junior A hockey club’s season came to an end on the weekend shy of the ultimate goal. The BC Hockey League Express were eliminated from play at the 2 0 1 4 We s t e r n Canada Cup, losing a chance to compete in the RBC Cup national championship tournament inVernon. The locals’ season ended with a 5-3 loss to the Spruce Grove Saints in elimination play in Dauphin, Man. The Express jumped out to a 2-0 first-period lead behind goals by Zach Hodder (two) and Cody Boyd but Spruce Grove replied with five straight goals. Only Canon Pieper would score again for Coquitlam but the power play marker at 17:47 of the third period was too little, too late. Th e E x p r e s s ’ Ryan Rosenthal was named the Westerns’ top forward. Described as arguably the most powerful and impressive player at the tournament, he carried Coquitlam to a 2-0 record early on in the round robin, when the Montvale, New Jersey native collected three goals. Spruce Grove joins the Yorkton Terriers, Dauphin Kings, Carleton Place Canadians, Toronto Lakeshore Patriots and the host Vernon Vipers at the RBC Cup from May 10 to 18.

On April 30, 2014, our beloved mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, great-great grandmother Regina passed away at age 97 in Kelowna General Hospital after a short illness. She was born October 26, 1916 in a log house in Ste. Genevieve, Manitoba, to Oscar and Lea (Gauthier) Ross. Moving from Manitoba in 1937, Regina and Fred settled in Coquitlam BC for 38 years, retiring to Winfield in 1975. Most recently Regina resided at Blue Heron Villa in Lake Country (Winfield) BC. On Easter Sunday she delighted in her many visitors from extended family. She is predeceased by her first husband, Fred Boyd (1991) and her second husband Roger Bienvenu (2006), also predeceased by brothers Rosaire (2000), Theophil (1993), Antonin (1972), sisters Antonia (2009), Maria (1996), Alma (1923) and by her youngest son Dennis (2013); survived by 2 sisters, Anna (Ross) Nichols of Campbell River, Ann (Ross) Bonas of Westbank, and one brother Harvey Ross of Barriere, BC, her children Ernest (Kathy), Juliette (Louis Joubert), Jeanette, Robert (Rosemary) and Danny (Sharon). In her extended family she was proud to count 53 in five generations, plus many nieces and nephews. Many thanks go to the excellent staff at the Blue Heron and the Doctors and Nursing staff at KGH. Services will be held at St. Edwards Catholic Church in Winfield on May 6, 2014 at 1:30pm. Visitation at the Church at 12:30 before the service. Light lunch to follow in the church facilities. Interment will follow on May 14 at Robinson Memorial Park in Coquitlam, BC, where Mom will rest beside her husband of 58 years, Fred.
