What’s buzzing in Burquitlam?

Moore prefers tax referendum in Nov. By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Metro Vancouver mayors say their blueprint for new rapid transit lines and other transportation upgrades — as well as proposed new taxes to go to a referendum — will be made public next month. The almost finalized document, still under wraps after weeks of closed-door meetings, will go to a final vote of the TransLink mayors’ council in late May or early June before being sent to Transportation Minister Todd Stone, who challenged the mayors to come up with their vision of what’s needed. “A lot of folks thought perhaps we couldn’t do it,” said TransLink mayors’ council chair Richard Walton. see $ NEEDED, page 8

Thief steals from mom’s fundraising campaign Mom training for fundraising run By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A Port Moody mom is not letting a thief stop her from trying to do the most she can for her four-year-old daughter. Today, Andrea Lyons will get up at 4 a.m. to run 10 km just like she does every day to prepare for the June 22

Scotia Bank half marathon Charity Challenge to raise funds for the BC Neurofibromatosis Foundation. She has a reason: Her daughter Dani was recently diagnosed with the debilitating disease, known as NF1, which can cause tumours to grow along nerves, affecting mobility and vision, and causing other issues.

Passing of the torch for beekeepers In the spring of 2011, Ted Gaylie (left), a pioneer of the Burquitlam Community Organic Gardens Society, was working in the city park at Ebert Avenue and Whiting Way when a society member told him about the dwindling number of mason bees at the gardens. From then on, Gaylie took a keen interest in the benign insects and became the official beekeeper, cleaning the tubular homes in their wooden structures (above) to chase away mites. This month, Gaylie gave up his job as beekeeper and passed the torch to new society member Brian Christensen (right), a Burnaby resident who has more than 20 years of experience with mason bees. Today, the gardens have around 600 mason bees, which pollinate the fruits, flowers and vegetables in the 76 plots. Newly elected president Humera Ahsanullah said the society supplied more than 1,000 lb. of fresh produce last year to the Share food bank — thanks, in part, to the busy bees.

Tri-Cities popular destination as refugees find homes here By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Refugees continue to flock to the Tri-Cities, settling in neighbourhoods where there is affordable housing and transit, according to the latest provincial statistics. In the first three months of 2014, the TriCities were the top destination in the Lower Mainland for government assisted refugees, according to Immigrant Services Society of BC (ISSBC), taking 30% of the province’s allotment of 97 people. Most of the newcomers are from Iran and Iraq, according to Chris Friesen, ISSBC’s director of settlement services, with more expected to arrive in the coming weeks from Turkey, where they have been waiting for resettlement. For several years, Coquitlam has been a prime settlement destination but the most recent developments have prompted ISSBC to expand its services in the area. Since January, 34 people have moved here, 13 of whom are of school age. Friesen said the combination of services and already established communities of Iranian and Iraqi populations has proven to be a draw for people moving to the Lower Mainland from refugee camps elsewhere in the world. “A lot of the destining process is driven by affordable housing and that’s something were fol-

Coquitlam Search and Rescue volunteers are now trained and equipped to conduct helicopter external transport system rescues — i.e., dangling from a chopper on a 200 ft. rope to reach and recover stranded hikers.

lowing very closely and we’re trying to understand,”Friesen said. Many of the newcomers are fleeing religious persecution, Friesen said, and some have been persecuted based on their sexual orientation, requiring specialized services that are mostly available inVancouver. Still, for young adults moving here, the transition can be difficult, especially if they don’t speak English, and have limited schooling.

To meet their needs, ISSBC has its Moving Ahead Program for youth age 16 to 28 in its Cottonwood Avenue office in Coquitlam, where newcomers can meet one on one for help or in groups to obtain essential skills, develop a resume and learn interview practices, get access to scholarships, bursaries and grants, and help with goal setting and action planning. ISSBC is also working with Share Family and Community Services to

provide integrated services to refugees moving to the area so “people don’t have to negotiate all the different services,” Friesen said, “It’s like a one-stop-shop,” he said of the expanded offices on Cottonwood. Meanwhile, settlement workers in schools are helping children get established in their home schools and, according to Krisztine Trumley, youngsters do well if they get support early. She said settlement workers do a lot of intense work with families, especially in the first few months after they moving here, so they understand how schools work and what’s expected of them. Since September, 39 school-aged refugee children have been enrolled in School District 43, a lower number than in past

years, Trumley said, and easily absorbable given the size of the district. There are eight settlement workers who speak a variety of languages, including Farsi, Dari and Arabic, to help families of children access services such as clothing, the food bank and health care. As well, they teach parents how to deal with school routines and paperwork. According to Trumley, the flow of refugee families has dropped off in recent years, partially due to the fact that a large Bhutanese community that was resettled here moved to Alberta to access jobs and cheaper housing, and she said refugee families are resilient and can do well once they are acclimatized. “I think that’s really a success story,”she said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Life lines are ready to fly By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam Search and Rescue has announced that its helicopter rescue team is now fully operational just in time for the busy hiking season. A $50,000 project to acquire equipment and train volunteers to rescue stranded and injured hikers using a helicopter external transport system (HETS) is now in place and poised to rescue stranded hikers this season. According to Michael Coyle of Coquitlam SAR, local volunteer searchers have had to rely on North Shore Rescue for support in difficult rescues. Last year, there were seven requiring the use of HETS equipment, which will now be based at the Coquitlam Town Centre fire hall. “With this kind of tool, we can access places we wouldn’t be able to normally,”Coyle said. Coyle said a nine-man team has been training for months to be able to use HETS, which is used to transport a rescue worker to the site and then pick up and transport the injured person on a stretcher or harness, to emergency services, via a 200-foot rope that dangles from the helicopter. A Spirit of Coquitlam grant contributed $45,000 toward the project and Talon Helicopters is Coquitlam SAR’s primary partner. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam residents can ride along with local Mounties from the comfort of their own homes during a tweet-along hosted by the Coquitlam RCMP tomorrow (Thursday) between noon and 10 p.m. The event is being held to mark National Police Week and will give participants an opportunity to learn what police do on a typical shift, said spokesperson Cpl. Jamie Chung. In addition to tweeting the activities of fellow officers dealing with routine missing persons, traffic accidents, shoplifting and other issues, Chung and Const. Michelle Luca will tweet at noon from an awards ceremony at the detachment. The hashtag for the tweet-along is #CQtwt; for National Police Week, it’s #PoliceWeek. Chung said residents don’t have to sign up for Twitter to follow the tweet-along; they can track the action on their computer or smart phone by typing in twitter.com/cqrcmp in the address bar of the browser. If you have a Twitter account, you can follow @cqrcmp.

But Lyons’ campaign took a kick on Mother’s Day when a thief made off with a donation bin of cash that had been placed at a customer service counter at a PoMo grocery store (the store doesn’t want to be identified). The money hasn’t been recovered, according to Lyons, but a store employee who asked not to be identified said it has video of the thief taking the box and the details are being forwarded to Coquitlam RCMP. “I just got the call yesterday that it was stolen,” Lyons said. “It’s heartbreaking. It’s for a fouryear-old girl. It’s repulsive.” But she won’t let the theft deter her efforts to raise awareness about the disease, for which there is no cure, and she takes inspiration from her happy daughter, who lives life to the fullest despite having NF1. Lyons is continuing her training and her fundraising, with the goal of raising $10,000 for the foundation, which provides camps and other supports

MOSSOM CREEK HATCHERY PROJECT

The Tri-CiTy News

Fundraising for the Mossom Creek Hatchery rebuilding project got a boost last week with a $100,000 grant from the Pacific Salmon Foundation — and project team members are as happy as fish fry at feeding time. “That really gave us a push and moved us ahead in our fundraising,” said Tracy Green, fundraising co-ordinator for the project. “It will allow us to be able to complete phase one of the new hatchery.” Almost six months have passed since the hatchery burned down in December and much has been accomplished on the project to date but Green and her fellow team members say the Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF) cash is a significant contribution that will help the group meet its fundraising goal. Project manager Pat Dennett said with community donations plus inkind contributions from trades and technical ser-

O r i g i n a l l y, P S F had planned to give $25,000 from Salmon Conservation Stamp revenue ($6.30 fees fisherman pay to keep fish caught in tidal waters) but the total was raised to $100,000 when last year’s stamp revenue was confirmed. “That’s a significant increase and we appreciate it,” Dennett said. “We are still underfunded, and they’ll keep an eye open for us, hoping to see something more.” Mossom Creek Hatchery co-founder Ruth Foster said the fund-

ing will enable the project to move forward so the hatchery can begin operations again in the fall. “We will not lose another year of salmon work on Mossom,” Foster said. PSF CEO Brian Riddell said the Port Moody hatchery is a worthwhile initiative to fund because of the work it does, not only enhancing salmon but raising awareness in the community, especially among young people. (The Mossom hatchery got its start as an education program for Centennial students and was one of the first stream steward programs to be developed in B.C.) dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Widen trail in Coquitlam, says Trails BC By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

A provincial group in charge of the Trans Canada Trail through B.C. wants to tap into federal funds to widen part of the route in Coquitlam. This week, Coquitlam resident Leon Lebrun, the acting president and southwest region director for Trails BC, said his organization wants to apply for legacy cash to tie the trail’s 25th anniversary with Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017. At Monday’s councilin-committee meeting, Lebrun said he would like to see the 1.72 km trail stretch along the north side of Guildford Way — from the Port Moody border to Hoy Creek trail — studied by city staff to make more room for pedestrians and cyclists. He said the existing on-road bike lane on Guildford is tricky, even for experienced riders like himself. And he suggested a shared off-road route would be beneficial for the four area schools, City Centre residents and visitors to Town Centre Park, where the Evergreen Line will terminate in 2016. A wider Guildford path “would be better flow for the Trans Canada Trail and a fantastic amenity,” Lebrun told the committee. “There’s no doubt in my mind it would be used extensively.” A wider route would cost around $200,000, he said, though city staff estimate the bill would be more than double that as there are retaining walls along that portion. Coun. Brent Asmundson also said the city may have to expropriate private land. F u r t h e r, c o u n c i l last year adopted a 10year master trail plan in which there is no proposal for a bigger Guildford link, said Raul Allueva, Coquitlam’s acting general manager of parks and recreation. As for federal money, Lebrun said Ottawa is offering up to 50% for legacy projects but the criteria is tight. Still, he believes the government will loosen the purse strings as the anniversary date nears. In the meantime, Lebrun said Trails BC is working on new logo signs for the Trans Canada Trail for 2017 that would promote its 25th year and the country’s 150th. As well, Trails BC has been given permission

to expand its network to include alternatives and loop trails to the Trans Canada Trail, which in the Tri-Cities runs 26 km from Moody Inlet — via Rocky Point Park, Town Centre Park, Coquitlam River Park and the Traboulay PoCo Trail — to the Pitt River. The world’s longest network of recreation trails, the Trans Canada Trail is about 75% complete and national trail groups want to bridge the 6,200 km of gaps by 2017. jwarren@tricitynews.com

you find relief that we are offering a complimentary consultation to the first 25 callers.

Is Surgery the Answer? Many of our patients have been told they need surgery. It is true that surgery may be the answer for certain types of back injuries. We have found success with many of these patients, due to our mix of treatments and experience in dealing with back and neck pain. When considering your options, ask yourself this question: IF THERE IS A SOLUTION TO BACK PAIN THAT DOESN’T REQUIRE SURGERY, IS IT WORTH EXPLORING?

Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal...Without Drugs or Surgery. Many back pain conditions that we see can be helped by our treatment programs. Spinal decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing the leaking gel of a herniated disc back into place. Decompression may achieve this by creating negative pressure within the disc, referred to as negative intradiscal pressure. This creates essentially

a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieves pressure. This process of non-surgical decompression combined with a customized rehabilitation program allow the body to heal itself naturally.

Why The Spinal Decompression Institute? The staff at the Spinal Decompression Institute has over 40 years of combined experience in treating patients suffering from back and neck problems. We offer a variety of treatment options for those dealing with back pain. We have helped thousands of people to live pain free!

As Featured on The Doctors Non-surgical spinal decompression has been featured on the TV show The Doctors.

Who is a candidate for treatment? There are several conditions that can be treated, including pain due to bulging and herniated discs, degenerated discs, sciatica, low back pain, neck pain and much more. If you have chronic or severe back pain, you may be a candidate for spinal decompression treatments. At the Spinal Decompression Institute, we will evaluate your condition and only recommend treatment if it’s right for you.

FREE CONSULTATION If you suffer from sciatica, or severe back or neck pain, you may find relief! If you are serious about getting your life back and eliminating your back and neck pain, we are serious about showing you how technology and experience may help. Due to demand, we are extending this offer for a FREE consultation to the first 25 callers with no obligation. These spaces fill up quickly, so call today to book your appointment. CALL TODAY!

BEFORE AFTER Example images: In the before picture you can see the herniated disc (black) protruding into the spinal column (white, center of MRI). After decompression treatment, the MRI shows the herniated disc is no longer bulging into the spinal canal where the spinal nerves are located.

POCO MAYOR GREG MOORE consensus among mayors for a November vote and he suspects it’s too early for the province as well. Walton said he understands the desire to move fast, but said success will depend on voters clearly understanding what will happen if the plan and new taxes are approved — and what will happen if it’s rejected. “If this thing is going to pass you need to have a highly informed electorate.” An earlier referendum risks a less informed, more “superficial” debate that’s mixed in with the many other civic election issues before voters, Walton said. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the work to arrive at a near-consensus has been challenging. “There are areas that already have pass-ups

on all elements of it, but there will be a plan and something that people will have an opportunity to rally around,” Corrigan predicted. Premier Christy Clark made new funding for TransLink conditional on a referendum after previously rejecting a series of requests from the mayors to authorize more money. Many mayors still fear voters will reject paying higher taxes and the Metro region will then stagnate in worsening congestion as the population climbs. Corrigan said it’s “anybody’s guess” as to whether the province will even allow all the proposals to go to referendum.

Still, there’s uncertainty among mayors as to how the public and the province will react to the specific expansion proposals and methods to pay for them. Mayors say the package will propose at least a couple of new funding sources — the ones most talked about in the past have been an annual vehicle levy, a regional sales tax, a regional carbon tax and eventual pursuit of road pricing. “We’re doing everything we can to keep the ask down,” Walton said. “We recognize the fact the smaller the amount in general of the whole plan the more likely it is for there to be public appetite and provincial approval as well. Therefore we’ve really sharpened our pencils.” The mayors’ council intends to poll the public when the plan is released and Walton expects the province to also carefully gauge public reaction before revealing if it’s willing to approve the new taxes, contingent on a referendum. Stone has said the referendum can take place separately from the November civic elections and potentially as late as June 2015, provided an acceptable plan is tabled by the end of next month. Walton said the minister has indicated the referendum will pass if there are a majority of ‘Yes’ votes counted across the entire region — there won’t be any additional requirement that it pass in a certain number of municipalities as some have suggested. He said that means the set of projects must appeal to voters in the entire region. A package heavily slanted to one part of the region could risk defeat by the large numbers of voters in Vancouver or Surrey, he noted. The province has pledged one-third funding for major new rapid transit lines, such as the Surrey and Vancouver Broadway extensions, and to replace the Pattullo Bridge. Port Coquitlam Mayor and Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore says he’d prefer the referendum be part of this November’s municipal elections, instead of waiting until 2015. “The longer, frankly, that we wait to get to referendum the longer we wait to get the funding we actually need to build the system to meet the needs of today, never mind the future growth needs we have,” said Moore, who has led the work to hammer out the plan. “Every month that we don’t get new funding we’re falling further and further behind.” But he said there’s no

and want more service,” Corrigan said. “There are other areas saying we’re developing new density and we need transit support to do that.” He said there’s broad acceptance among cities across the region of the need for solution on Vancouver’s congested Broadway corridor, for expansion in Surrey to support growth there, better service South of the Fraser and improved bus service elsewhere. But he said some projects may have to be prioritized behind others, pushing them back a decade or more, and that debate on priorities has been intense. “There may not be unanimous agreement

Watch out for more Barnet changes Piledriving on Pinetree expected to finish in June By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

Commuters, pedestrians and cyclists travelling on Barnet Highway near Coquitlam Centre mall will soon see changes to the lanes. On Monday, managers overseeing the $1.4-billion Evergreen Line project told Coquitlam city council that neon orange tubes will be installed shortly between the lanes in the stretch of Barnet between Pinetree Way and Johnson Street.

Senior project advisor Jon Buckle said the road barriers will help slow traffic in that busy section, which where construction is taking place for the rapid-transit line, due to open in the summer of 2016. The traffic-calming measures and new road lines — as well as flagging personnel in hard hats and high-visibility vests — will help drivers as they approach the new crosswalk from the mall to the transit hub. The crosswalk is temporary while an Evergreen column is put into place at Barnet and Pinetree and will be removed when the work is over.

A m a n d a Fa r r e l l , Evergreen’s executive project director, said her main concern is that people are safe when they are crossing Barnet. Coun. Brent Asmundson, a bus driver, told Evergreen managers the crosswalk is especially dangerous at night. “It really needs flaggers there all the time,” he said. In her update to council, Farrell also spoke of the project milestones: Coquitlam’s four Evergreen stations (Burquitlam, Coquitlam Central, Lincoln and Lafarge Lake-Douglas) are between 5% and 20% complete and pile driving along Pinetree

Way is expected to wrap up next month. While the stations will look the same inside, each will have different exteriors. Farrell said Lafarge Lake-Douglas (next to the Evergreen Cultural Centre) and Coquitlam Central will have room for retail space while Lincoln will be integrated into the Coquitlam Centre mall property and Burquitlam will include a public transit exchange. As well, all will be built using CPTED — crime prevention through environmental design — standards such as glass elevators, clear sight lines for passengers and area landscaping, she said.

As for Coquitlam council’s request to have washrooms in each of the Evergreen stations, Farrell said TransLink will make that decision. According to a city report, Coquitlam is looking at self-cleaning toilets to be located outside the Lincoln and Lafarge Lake stations — but each would come with a $300,000 price tag plus another $30,000 annual bill for maintenance. Coquitlam is budgeting $14 million to upgrade Pinetree Way this and next year to accommodate the Evergreen Line. That would also require additional maintenance funds.

Bye, bye buses C

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

ommon sense seems to have finally arrived at the School District 43 board table with the axing of before- and after-school bus service for students in certain areas. It has been a long road since SD43 trustees first began looking at the issue at least nine years ago and, based on current costs, about $6 million has been spent since then to pay for buses to get students to and from school (not including an equal amount for special needs students). And even when the province cut back on transportation funding and the vast majority of Tri-City parents were simply driving or walking their children to school, the district continued to provide free busing to some students. Back in 2005, when the issue was hotly debated, trustees felt they could afford to pay for busing for about 900 students, including courtesy rides to those who lived within provincial walk limits but got picked up because their house was on the bus route. Over the years, however, trustees’ resolve began to flag. Teachers and support workers always opposed spending on buses when needs in the classroom went unmet and it was decided a few years ago that busing to Moody middle would stop once the new Eagle Mountain middle school in Anmore was completed. Now that it is about to open this fall, it was much easier for trustees to cut $650,000 from the transportation budget, leaving some students in Port Coquitlam and Burke Mountain without a ride (special needs students will still get free transportation). Today’s public education system is at a crossroads and hard decisions have to be made to make sure students are properly served. Keeping school buses running when psychologists, speech and language pathologists, special education assistants, counsellors, youth workers and teachers are being laid off doesn’t make sense. Besides, busing locally never made much sense. Parents who choose to live in, for example, Belcarra or Anmore, know they have to get in their cars to take their kids to soccer or swimming, buy groceries or do any number of other daily tasks. Why taxpayers should be on the hook to get their kids to school — at a cumulative cost of millions of dollars — has always been beyond us.

British Columbia’s farmland holy war falls flat BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he NDP’s holy war against changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve got nastier last week as it became clear it was defenders of the status quo who were being mowed down. Ever since legislation was tabled to divide the ALR into two zones, with greater emphasis on social and economic needs to help viability of farms in the Kootenay, Interior and North regions, almost all the protest has been from unaffected areas. And much of it depends on emotion rather than fact. In the legislature, Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog rose to praise the late Dave Stupich, who birthed the ALR sacred cow as agriculture minister in 1973. Krog likened Stupich to the biblical Daniel for his bravery in preserving farmland for our children’s children. CowichanValley MLA Bill Routley did his signature“jiggery pokery”routine, this time ac-

cusing cabinet minister Bill Bennett of being “giddy”at the prospect of paying off his friends with development land. Before he gets too jiggery outside the protection of the legislative chamber, he would be well advised to find some evidence. Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson, who at least represents an area being given broader latitude for secondary uses on farmland, warned of drought in California.The history of this is currently a hot topic in the quasi-religious climate change debate. Meanwhile in the real British Columbia, life and farming go on under the existing farmland protection regime. The largest ALR exclusion in B.C. history took a big step forward last week as a federalprovincial review panel issued its report on the Site C dam proposed for the Peace River. The panel noted that the dam would flood 2,775 hectares of farmland, representing all seven categories of soil quality. Opponents use a figure about twice that size, as if all the affected land was farmable. The panel accepted that this land, including

TRI-CITY leTTeRs

electives are essential The Editor, Re. “Fewer teachers, less support” (The Tri-City News, May 9). While School District 43 superintendent Tom Grant’s responses to reporter Diane Strandberg’s questions appear to be measured and comprehensive, it’s astonishing he passed up the opportunity — and, in my opinion, reneged on his responsibility — to place SD43’s financial problems in their larger context. For 12 years, the BC Liberal government has undermined the public school system by underfunding and by attacking the people who work in it.The courts have twice declared the Christy Clark government’s legislation unconstitutional and directed it to rectify the chaos it has created yetVictoria has steadfastly, if not gleefully, thumbed its nose at the courts. Mr. Grant uses the word “erosion” to describe what’s happening in the school system.The word is far too mild. We are witnessing the collapse of our public school system under persistent attack by an extreme ideological agenda that sees no place for public enterprise. Our public schools, for all their shortcomings, are the very foundation of democracy for they provide an equal opportunity for every child to succeed and to flourish, regardless of social, economic or ethnic background. The province’s unrelenting attacks on the public school system amount to an attack on democracy itself. It’s an intolerable outrage. It’s long past time that the leaders within the public school system begin to lead and stop behaving as if they’re neutral parties innocently caught in the middle of an unfortunate dispute. Leaders — true leaders — must find the courage to stand and full-throatedly defend the interests of our children against the forces of darkness and chaos. Rob Harding, Port Coquitlam

The Editor, Letter writer Bob Parsons doesn’t appear to understand the public’s and the Ministry of Education’s expectations for a school like Gleneagle secondary in Coquitlam when he suggests that the electives it offers should be in the domain of the private sector. The mandate of schools goes far beyond reading, ’riting and ’rithmetic. These days, schools are also expected to provide students with the skills to lead healthy lives, an un-

derstanding of a variety of career paths and how to prepare for a career, good citizenship both in the community and in the world, empathy, creativity, use of technology, tolerance, teamwork, co-operation and the embracing of the idea of lifelong learning — curiosity, self-discipline and confidence. It doesn’t take a genius to see how the courses Mr. Parsons listed in his letter can engender these qualities and skills in a student (drama, art, keyboarding, fitness, Japanese, to name a few). In addition, our society has accepted that we all benefit from a well-educated citizenry, that every child, no matter his family income, has a right to similar opportunities in public education. Gleneagle, like other B.C. schools, is striving to provide these opportunities with a budget that keeps expecting it to do more with less. To borrow a phrase from the provincial government, we need to “invest in our future” by providing the funds to truly support our expectations of the public school system. Jean Kosar, Port Moody

The Editor, Re. “’Underfunding,’ no. ‘Overspending,’ yes (Letters, The Tri-City News, May 7). In his letter Bob Parsons stated that Gleneagle secondary school offers 131 elective subjects, many of which are arts-related and “should not be offered by public schools.” I am a Gleneagle student. I understand that courses such as ceramics and sculpture are unusual options, and I understand how a taxpayer might question their relevance. These supposedly frivolous and unnecessary electives teach us important lessons that math and science cannot. I have been heavily involved in my school’s theatre program and because of that experience, I’ve learned to work under stress, meet tight deadlines, work with many others as a cohesive team and communicate powerfully. Elective courses may seem unnecessary but they exist for the purpose of developing students as people, not just as learners. And not only that, they also offer the chance for kids who might not have the ability, whether financially or physically, to take these classes outside of school, to learn something they wouldn’t have otherwise, such as to play the guitar or to act. Prior to Grade 9, I was home-schooled, and if not for the wonderful elective opportunities I was given at Gleneagle, I would have gone right back home. And not every school in the district is as heavily artistic as Gleneagle. Mr. Parsons listed many arts courses that my school offers but didn’t mention that Gleneagle articulates more students to the Emily Carr University of Art and Design than any other school in the province. Mr. Parsons, if you still truly don’t understand the value of these elective courses, I will gladly pay for your ticket to come see our Musical Theatre 11/12 show, Footloose, this week on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday at 7 p.m. Perhaps that would show you the merit of these courses you so resent.

Too modern for Maillardville? The Tri-CiTy News

Drawings for a new Va n C i t y b r a n c h i n Maillardville will get a once-over next month from the city committee in charge of rejuvenating the French-Canadian enclave. On Monday, the modern architectural design proposed for the credit union branch at 1013 Brunette Ave. got mixed reviews from city council, with some elected officials — including the chair of the Maillardville Commercial and Cultural Revitalization Advisory Committee — criticizing VanCity for missing the mark on heritage. Their comments came a month after a new set of design guidelines was adopted to coincide with the updated Maillardville Neighbourhood Plan, a blueprint for growth that calls for 6,000 more residents in the south Coquitlam area over 20 years. The purpose of the design guidelines is to re-create the French-Canadian flair in new buildings that would have been common in Maillardville more than a century ago. But Coun. Terry O’Neill said VanCity “checked all the boxes” in the guidelines for its new building by including woodfinishing materials and metal fretwork. And he worried city council would send the wrong message to developers should it stop every bid because some plans don’t have enough “heritageinspired” elements. He questioned whether council is clear in its vision for Maillardville’s renewal.

Coun. Bonita Zarrillo said she doesn’t mind the mix of modern and heritage styles in Maillardville, noting, “I don’t think we need to re-create some French past.” Coun. Neal Nicholson stressed the importance of preserving the FrenchCanadian character of Maillardville, especially as its francophone population dwindles. He asked VanCity to “honour the origins” of the community with a redesign. “I absolutely love the design but it doesn’t fit,” added Coun. Chris Wilson. Coun. Brent Asmundson noted the contemporary design resembles the original Caisse populaire de Maillardville building, built in 1967 while Coun. Mae Reid said she was disappointed VanCity failed to include that institution’s moniker on the structure. “It doesn’t fit the look we are trying to achieve in Maillardville,” said Coun. Craig Hodge, chair of the Maillardville committee. “This is going to be out of place.” City council voted 7-2 to refer the VanCity application to city staff and the Maillardville advisory committee for comment. The group is set to meet in June. Meanwhile, another major renewal project for Maillardville also came before city council on Monday. Fraser Health was granted a development permit to demolish Foyer Maillard, at 1010 Alderson Ave., and replace it with a new 125-bed care facility. The redevelopment would see the building shrink from eight to four storeys. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Teachers’ rally to protest cuts’ effect on kids Second ed. rally this month locally By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS

School District 43’s second rally in support of public education was expected to draw hundreds of teachers, parents and other supporters yesterday. As first reported last Friday at tricitynews.com, the March to Mourn BCED — held Tuesday after The Tri-City News’ print dead-

line — was organized by Como Lake middle school teacher Kara Obojski, who was one of 630 teachers to receive a layoff notice last Thursday along with approximately 200 support staff. Obojski said teachers are demoralized by the cuts and she wanted to help raise awareness about the issue. “We want to come together as a community and advocate for our kids and what is happening right now because educa-

tion is for the public good,” Obojski said, noting that many of the layoffs affect services for children with special needs. “When the vulnerable start suffering we don’t have an education system that creates opportunity for everybody.” Teachers were invited to wear black to the event and a Facebook page was created to invite people to the event that had been slated for 3:30 p.m. on Como Lake Avenue between Hillcrest middle school and Dr. Charles

Best secondary school. Obojski said the rally was not a work disruption but was a way to get people together to raise awareness about funding issues in the district. SD43 superintendent Tom Grant said he understands teachers want to express their concerns. “Our teachers have been extremely professional,” he said. “They’ve been caring of each other and I think some of them are having to find a way to express their concerns and

they’re doing it in ways that do not involve students, which I appreciate.” This will be the second rally for public education in Coquitlam after a group calling itself Parents4BC organized one on May 2 in front of Port MoodyCoquitlam MLA Linda Reimer’s office in Port Moody. Both rallies are in response to the passage of SD43’s budget, which required $13.4 million in cuts in order to be balanced. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Italian cooking: mangia! A GOOD READ Irene Jakse

ore than mere cookbooks, the following titles are travel guides, history lessons and short stories all in one. The personal narratives are full of facts and photos along with some of the best Italian recipes and cooking techniques. Frances Mayes is well known for her Under the Tuscan Sun series of books, in which food plays a large part of each day. In The Tuscan Sun Cookbook: Recipes from our Italian Kitchen, Mayes and husband Edward Mayes tell a great story of life, friendships and customs that are the result of many meals shared with friends and locals. After 20 years in Cortona, Italy, the American-born Mayes know pretty much all there is to know about authentic Tuscan cooking and dining. They practise what they preach by making olive oil from the 160plus olive trees on their own land. (Did you know that the average return from one tree is 1 litre?) Giorgio Locatelli’s Made in Sicily stresses that no matter the personality or style of the chef, what comes out in dishes prepared Sicilian style is the personality of the land and

sea — needless to say, lots of octopus and squid recipes. But you have to love a people who think you suspect if you do not have olive oil and wine in your home. Fabulous photos of real people and places illustrate each chapter of the book. Now we move on to Venice. This book ties food to a popular Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery series by Donna Leon. Brunetti’s Cookbook contains recipes by Roberta Pianaro that allow you to follow in the culinary footsteps of Leon’s main character, a Venetian police officer. Even though much has changed in Venice over the past 25 years and McDonalds has made an appearance, one can still take the traghetto across the water to the Rialto Market,“one of the abiding glories of the city, where the past remains and the all encircling splendour of food seems without end.”A fun read. Tatjana Hauptmann’s clever illustrations complement the

text perfectly, just like a great side dish. In Trattoria Cooking, Biba Caggiano notes that although it changes by region, the premise of trattoria cooking is basic, simple honest (but incredibly tasty) food usually served casually and at reasonable prices. Caggiano cooks the food of the Emilia-Romagna region and her recipes are easy to follow and include great narrative, with behind-thescenes info about the dish, the ingredients or the area it originates from. The suggested wine pairings included with the recipes are helpful and encouraging. The only downside: Where are the pictures? In Weeknights with Giada, author Giada De Laurentiis provides simple recipes that make healthy, tasty dinners possible even during a busy week. The American celebrity chef gives us permission to have breakfast for dinner or even make sandwiches. Her definition of sandwiches will inspire all of us to take the simple sandwich to another level. Bruschetta anyone? It’s amazingly easy. This book contains mouth-watering illustrations with clean and easyto-read lists of ingredients and instructions.You will

also find a bonus cook’s note inserted where needed. A definite inspiration to make weeknight dinners more exciting. Mario Batali’s Molto Gusto: Easy Italian Cooking concentrates on seasonal cooking and is very light on the meat protein often found in main courses. Instead, his focus is on eating a few smaller plates at each meal. There are numerous pictures to accompany nice, short recipes. The great cheese chapter describes the taste and texture of many cheeses that might be new to some readers. His pizza section is like the illustrated takeout menu from heaven: the crispy crusts, the cheese, the salami… and the other surprise ingredients Batali puts on pizza. Reading these books will either make you want to spend more time in your kitchen, become a devoted armchair traveler or inspire you to start planning a trip to somewhere delicious in Italy. Either way, head for the library and then, a tavola — to the kitchen table. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Irene Jakse works at Port Moody Public Library.

Voltron, Pannier Clown Bot and Bad Fairy Bot are whimsical creations of found objects by Lynne Taylor Fahnestalk. They will be on display at the Port Moody Arts Centre, starting Thursday.

t’s a show that got lukewarm reviews when it hit Broadway in 2000. But almost immediately after its year-long run in New York City, Seussical the Musical gained steamed on tours across the U.S., Canada and Britain. And it has been an especially popular piece for regional and children’s theatre companies — as well as for schools. In Coquitlam, Centennial secondary staged the whacky cartoon play in 2011, with Aliya Boulanger playing the lead role of the Cat in the Hat. Tickets for the matinees for feeder schools sold out in 12 minutes, the director said. Th e f o l l ow i n g ye a r, Gleneagle secondary took on the funny show starring Ed Ross as the eccentric Cat and Jennifer Gillis as Gertrude. This year, Port Coquitlam’s Archbishop Carney regional high school will give Seussical a go, with the charismatic Luke Trainor portraying the Cat.“He’s the omnipotent character and it’s a role I really wanted to be involved in,”Trainor said. Asked why the Grade 11

Archbishop Carney’s Luke Trainor (Cat in the Hat) with Rafaele Rigolo (Horton), Carmella Rotor-Murphy (Gertrude), Vivian Ko (Jojo) and Juliette Halliday (Mayzie). The Port Coquitlam high school presents Seussical the Musical at Terry Fox Theatre in Port Coquitlam from May 21 to 24. student was picked for the free-spirited role, drama teacher Charles Harris didn’t

miss a beat. “Have you met Luke?” he asked. “I mean, I don’t want to say he’s being

typecast….” In truth, Trainor is musically gifted, Harris said,

which gives him the ability to easily master the unique rhythms of speech penned more than 60 years ago by Theodor Seuss Geisel. Harris said most of the 35 cast members in Carney’s Seussical are proficient in music and/or acting. For example, Trainor, who lists guitar, piano and drums as his instruments, was also James “Bud” Anderson in Carney’s production last year of Father Knows Best; in 2012, Trainor was part of the Jets gang in the West Side Story. And Vivian Ko, a Grade 9 student who will appear in her first musical (portraying Jojo, the thinker), already has her Royal Conservatory of Music piano 10 under her belt; she also plays the flute in the school band. “I really wanted to be part of this musical because of the music,” she said. “Of course, the stories are so great, too. I feel like it’s something that people of all ages can relate to.” Harris, a father of three kids under the age of eight, confirmed he chose the show because of its broad appeal. see THE CAT IN THE HAT, page 21

Ly n n e Ta y l o r Fahnestalk wanted science fiction for her Christmas wreaths. She had her heart set on old tin robots but found antique toy ornaments were too expensive. So, being an awardwinning professional magazine illustrator and cartoonist for 30 years, she started to tinker on her own, using recycled metal. “It was so much fun,” she said of her creative adventure that started two years ago. Using upcycled parts from garage sales and flea markets — and a few donated from her friends — Fahnestalk built robot sculptures and displayed them in the 2012 art show at VCON, Vancouver’s science fiction, fantasy and games convention. They flew off the shelves. The same thing happened last year. Now, the Vancouver resident is exhibiting her phenomenally popular ’bots in her first gallery show since 1990. Fahnestalk has 17 pieces on display at the Port Moody Arts Centre, which will mark the opening of A Rivet of Robots with a reception tomorrow (Thursday). Fahnestalk— a twotime recipient of the prestigious Canadian Au r o r a Awa rd f o r Artistic Achievement — stressed her “3D cartoons” are not toys “but they are whimsical,” she said. “What I have found with these ’bots is they they appeal to everybody across the board.” While scavenging, a vendor will inevitably ask what she’s digging for and their eyes light up when she tells them the subject matter. It’s at that point they head to their basement or the back of their garage to rummage through leftovers to help see HER ’BOTS, page 21

EVERGREEN CULTURAL CENTRE

African sounds at Evergreen A three-time Juno award winner who was discovered by Peter Gabriel’s record label in the 1980s will play his African rhythm beats in Coquitlam this month. It will be Alpha Yaya Diallo’s first appearance at the Evergreen Cultural Centre, a place where he and his four-piece band “can give me the opportunity to bring a lot of energy and get people up dancing,” he said. “It will be a different kind of music for many people in the audience.” A native of Guinea, West Africa, the self-taught guitarist, singer and

songwriter moved to Europe in the mid-1980s and worked with the Fatala group associated with Gabriel’s Real World label. He immigrated to Canada in 1991 after a North American tour and he released his first solo album in 1993, which was nominated for the country’s highest music prize. He didn’t win but he did score Junos in 1999, 2002 and 2004. Diallo, who performs in English, French and the Guinean languages of Fulani, Malinke and Sosoxi, is well known on the in-

ternational festival circuit for his world music: He has played at the WOMAD Festival in England and the Festival d’Angoulem in France. For the Coquitlam show on Saturday, May 24, the Vancouver resident will play songs from his five albums as well as some new compositions, he said. • Tickets for Alpha Yaya Diallo at $30/$25/$15 are available by contacting the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) at 604-927-6555 or visiting evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

The Cat in the Hat strikes at school for spring show

LEFT: Metro Vancouver Transit Police recently honoured Anmore artist J Peachy for helping a woman after she was robbed of her cell phone. The passenger was on the SkyTrain platform at the Broadway and Commercial station last January when another passenger grabbed her arms and took her phone; she gave chase but lost sight of the bandit after falling down the stairs. Peachy caught up with the alleged thief, grabbed the phone and returned it to the shaken woman. The suspect was later tracked down by Transit Police.

“It’s Dr. Seuss. How do you not love Dr. Seuss? It’s still on T.V. and the Grinch movie is a classic.” W r i t t e n by Ly n n Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, Seussical the Musical is a mishmash of Dr. Seuss’s most famous books, but mainly based on Horton Hears a Who!, Horton Hatches the Egg and The One Feather Tail of Gertrude McFuzz. For the Carney production, students and alumni will be joined by the Maple Ridge Concert Band to form a 24-piece orchestra. • Tickets at $15 for Archbishop Carney’s Seussical the Musical, which runs May 21 to 24 at the Terry Fox Theatre, are available by calling 604-942-7465 or emailing tickets@acrss.org.

of allergens and irritants, which can be linked to sensitivities. Just like humans, pets can be impacted by seasonal, plant-based allergies. Pollens and grasses are common sources during the warm spring and summer months. Be aware of your animal’s usual habits and take note if a reaction may be correlated with a particular season. If you are concerned, you might consider a trip to the vet to help determine your best course of action. Food Food can also cause sensitivities. Michele Dixon, a specialist in pet health and nutrition at pet food company Petcurean, agrees. “Food sensitivities are increasingly prevalent

in pets such as cats and dogs,” she says. “If you suspect your pet may be suffering from a food-related intolerance, try replacing their food with one that is geared towards their specific dietary needs. Indoor Allergens Perhaps less of a perceived threat, indoor allergens such as dust mites and mold spores can also take their toll. Cleaning your floors and carpets regularly to minimize the dust that has accumulated is one method for decreasing the risk of these issues. By closely monitoring your pet’s exposure to indoor and outdoor allergens, and keeping an eye on how they react to the food they eat, you can help ensure your pet thrives.

PM Panthers name Flather and Johnson to top spots There’s a new top cat in Port Moody Th e Po r t M o o dy Panthers of the Pacific Junior Hockey League announced Monday the hiring of Kevin Flather as the team’s head coach. Flather spent last season as general manager and head coach of the Grand Forks Border Bruins of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, helping guide Grand Forks to their best record in nine seasons. “We are very excited to have Kevin join our team,” Panthers president Dennis Obcena said.“Our goal for the Port Moody organization is to create

an environment for players to succeed. Kevin brings enthusiasm and a commitment to a develop men t model that will help us achieve our goal.” Flather, 27, is the owner and operator of Precision Hockey Development and was an instructor at the 2013 Vancouver Canucks Hockey School and spent 2008 to 2013 as an assistant coach with the Elite Hockey Shooters Spring team.

We’re confident that the new plan will not only help
