SD43’s $1.3M to go to mental health DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Teacher Natasha Pellatt (above), Malcolm Key, School District 43’s aboriginal community school co-ordinator, and Phillipe Brulot, SD43’s principal of aboriginal education, came up with the idea of the medicine wheel garden as a way to promote good health and feelings of belonging, and to teach students new skills. See story on page 15.

The news that School District 43 will be able to put $1.3 million in administrative savings back into classrooms could mean more money for mental health programs and other initiatives, says board chair Judy Shirra.

The province made the announcement Tuesday, giving $25 million in savings by school districts back to school districts. Burnaby is to receive just over $1 million while Vancouver School Board will get $2.25 million.

COQUITLAM

Another Coquitlam park overrun $250K at Victoria Park brings city’s total for month of May to $1.24M

GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

Another park upgrade in Coquitlam is going over budget.

Improvements to Victoria Park in northeast Coquitlam

— including a new artificial turf soccer field, a bigger grass playing area, a central plaza and playground — were expected to come in at $1.7 million.

But a tight construction market and a shortage of

labour mixed with a falling Canadian dollars mean staff now expect the final price tag to hit $1.95 million, or $250,000 more than had been projected.

“Labour shortages have increased costs and have

prevented contractors specializing in park construction from expanding in order to meet increased demand,” said a city staff report. “As there are only a relatively small number of contractors in the marketplace specializing in park construc-

tion, these contractors are finding it challenging to keep up with demand.”

Victoria Park is not the first Coquitlam park project to go over budget in May. see CITY PROMISES, page 10

Sciatica, Stenosis and Herniated Discs May Be to Blame for Pain and Numbness in Legs LOCAL CLINIC OFFERS FREE CONSULTATION TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM BACK AND NECK PAIN Did you know that over 30 million North Americans suffer from back and neck pain every day? Whether spine and back problems result from an auto accident, injury, or have crept up over time, sciatica and herniated discs are often misunderstood and improperly treated. They can result in pain and numbness anywhere in the body.

Whiplash Neck Pain

This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. You might not even be able to sleep at night without pain. If you suffer from debilitating pain, we are here to tell you that there is hope. We have the technology and decades of experience to help you find relief from disc problems and sciatica. The Spinal Decompression Institute focuses on treating all disc and spine-related conditions with advanced non-surgical treatments. We are so confident that we can help you find relief that we are offering a complimentary consultation to the first 25 callers.

]

Spinal Decompression Allows Back Pain to Heal... Without Drugs or Surgery 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 achieves 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 allows the body to heal itself naturally and is only one of many treatment options available at the Spinal Decompression Institute.

Class IV Therapeutic Laser The Spinal Decompression Institute employs a variety of high-tech solutions along with decades of experience to help alleviate your particular pain. Along with spinal decompression, our Class IV Therapeutic Laser Therapy is an outpatient, non-surgical procedure which is often used in sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, providing pain relief and reducing injury and damage. This leading-edge technology has shown results in returning patients to work, sports and competitive activities, as well as everyday life. Laser therapy is just one of the treatment options that Spinal Decompression Institute offers as a non-invasive option for those facing surgery.

If you have chronic or severe back pain, you may be a candidate for spinal decompression treatment. At the Spinal Decompression Institute, we will evaluate your condition and only recommend treatment if it’s right for you.

Blood brothers and sisters at bank Even squeamish step up for their RBC colleague DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Morning muffins, company potlucks, 50/50 fundraisers and more are staples of corporate giving and bring colleagues close together.

But sometimes, a group of co-workers will take part in a spontaneous gesture just because they care about someone.

That happened last Friday at a Coquitlam church when 25 employees and managers with RBC Coquitlam Town Centre gave blood.

Among the group were the squeamish and the toughminded, people who had given blood before and newcomers, and all had on their mind one thing: their colleague Farhad Abbasi, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia and needed their help and support.

“We all came together to talk about this,” said manager Jocelyn Tanaka. “Life is so precious, and we thought, ‘What can we do now?’ We thought, ‘Let’s step up and do it in his name.’”

Giving blood at a Canadian Blood Services (CBS) mobile clinic seemed like the ideal way to support Abbasi because he

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Above: A group of RBC employees from the Coquitlam Town Centre Branch gave blood last Friday in honour of their colleague, Farhad Abbasi, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. Among the workers who gave blood were Kat Twizell, Lincoln Lee Brian DeGear and Danni Li. In all, 25 people from RBC took part in the blood drive. Below: Abbasi with his two-year-old daughter, Tina; and left, in the hospital with the life-giving blood he needed after cancer treatments. had been a regular blood donor and would need blood after his chemotherapy treatments.

According to Sarah Jasmins, a manager with the CBS, cancer patients need eight pints of blood a week so every drop counts.

“What an amazing show of support,” she said about the RBC blood drive.

Meanwhile, Abbasi, recover-

ing from his last round of chemotherapy, is thrilled with the gesture.

“This means a lot to me.

When I got a text message from my manager that they were going to do this, I was shaking, literally, I cried. This means a lot when you see people getting inspired by what you’ve done and continue your actions,” Abbasi said.

The father of a two-year-old daughter, Tina, Abbasi said giving blood has been part of his life since he was a teenager and when he last gave blood in October 2015, never thought much about it. Six months later, during a 45-day stay at Vancouver General Hospital, he received the life-giving transfusion of O-positive blood.

“I looked at that bag, it was

a really big moment for me,” Abbasi said.

Knowing his colleagues are supporting him makes his recovery that much sweeter as he waits for his next round of chemotherapy.

“Right now, I’m battling for my health and definitely I’m going to be successful.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

A drop in the bucket to help syrian students DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

Terry Fox graduating students will have a chance to help Syrian refugee students attending school in the Tri-Cities to get a college education.

As the students walk across the stage during their grad ceremony, they will be asked to drop a donation into a bucket for a bursary for Syrian students to attend Douglas College.

The fundraising drive is the initiative of the Port Coquitlam high school’s 2016 Legacy Club, whose members plan to raise $3,000 by the end of the school year.

They’ve already achieved much of their fundraising goal, said sponsor teachers Franca D’Alfonso and Trista Fuller, who explained that the Douglas College Foundation will also match the contribution.

WANT TO SPONSOR SYRIAN REFUGEES?

An information meeting has been planned for people interested in sponsoring Syrian refugees. It will beheld Saturday, June 4 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Eagle Ridge United Church, 2813 Glen Dr., Coquitlam.

It is being organized by Mosaic Refugee Settlement Support Projects. Registration is required by emailing ichalloner@mosaicbc.com.

“I just know with our group of 10 [students], they really realized the importance of their education and where they’re going,” Fuller said. “They empathized with kids their ages coming into a country who don’t have the same opportunities as they do. They wanted to give back because they see how important their education is.”

A spokesperson for the Douglas College Foundation welcomes the initiative.

“I am so impressed with the Terry Fox Legacy students,” says Hazel Postma, associate vice-president, advancement and alumni relations at Douglas College. “They were touched by the Syrian refugee crisis but instead of getting upset and feeling powerless, they got together and did something. They have fundraised, first for the Red Cross, and then to make sure that a Syrian refugee of their own age will be able to go to college.”

FCM topics also include food waste, rail safety JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

Several Tri-City politicians will travel to Winnipeg this week for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ (FCM) convention.

And Port Coquitlam’s representatives — Mayor Greg Moore and councillors Laura Dupont, Mike Forrest and Darrell Penner — will be busy lobbying other delegates and the FCM board of directors to see their resolutions passed.

PoCo city council is promoting three resolutions pertaining to: • the national pharmacare strategy;

• the federal tax incentive for food waste; • and Canadian rail safety.

On pharmacare, PoCo is one of 11 municipalities to push the feds to create a national program as an extension of medicare (the resolution is one of four to be considered Saturday).

But the food waste reduction resolution is to be considered by the FCM board of directors’ meeting in September, as is the rail safety resolution: PoCo wants the federal government to set up a program in which shippers of hazardous goods are charged a fee to create an independent emergency response program.

The latter resolution comes after the rail disaster at LacMégantic, which killed 42 people and levelled more than 30 buildings.

Neither Coquitlam nor Port Moody is sponsoring a resolution but local politicians attending FCM include, from Coquitlam, Mayor Richard Stewart and councillors Dennis Marsden, Teri Towner, Chris Wilson and Bonita Zarrillo; and from Port Moody, Mayor Mike Clay and councillors Diana Dilworth and Zoe Royer.

The annual conference and trade show starts tomorrow (Thursday) and runs until Sunday at the RBC Convention Centre in Winnipeg.

In past years, Tri-City mayors have travelled together to FCM conferences by RV to learn about other municipalities and industry along the way but no Town Haul trip is planned for this year.

Are you not hearing clearly when a group of people are talking?

Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything being said, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, the Audéo V hearing aid has been designed specifically to understand speech in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in group situations, especially in restaurants. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that determine when you hear things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory centre of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Hearing sensation!

Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

while ambient noise is reduced. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing aid can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds, seamlessly adjusting to the listening situation.

72 parking tickets issued near track meet GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News

A Coquitlam father is blaming poor signage after his family and 71 others were given parking tickets during last week’s School District 43 track and field meet at Percy Perry Stadium.

David Preddy told The Tri-City News his father- and mother-in-law received the fine after parking in the lot along Pinetree Way, below the Trevor Wingrove Way entrance to Town Centre Park. They had

been at the stadium to watch Preddy’s daughter compete and when they returned to their vehicle, they noticed it had been ticketed, along with half a dozen others.

“It seemed heavy handed,” he said. “When you are aware of an event going on, you’d think an announcement could have been made instead of 72 people getting tickets.”

Preddy added that better signage would have been helpful and that his in-laws only noticed the no parking signs when a bylaw officer pointed

them out.

Stephanie James, the acting director of legal services and bylaw enforcement with the city of Coquitlam, confirmed 72 violations were issued, noting that the lot is kept open for students of Pinetree secondary and Douglas College.

“This lot was not rented to the district track event,” she said in an email. “We have a responsibility to the Pinetree community centre and Douglas College students to ensure that external events do not hamper their use of the fa-

cilities they are attending.”

Still, given the number of violation notices that were issued, she said the city would do better to improve the signage during next year’s event.

“Given last week’s experience, we will work to have more event day signage next year so the parking lot usage is clear for all parents, staff and students during the meet.”

The number of street and traffic bylaw infractions in Coquitlam has increased over the last couple of years.

In 2014, for example, 14,276

bylaw enforcement notices were issued, a number that rose 9.2% to 15,585 in 2015.

The increase corresponds to a 21.7% rise in street and traf-

fic complaints from residents, which rose from 1,394 in 2014 to 1,697 in 2015. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

FARMERS MARKETS

PoCo market kicks off Thurs. for summer at Leigh Square New vendors, play opportunities for children in PoCo JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

Aynsley Meldrum didn’t have to travel far for her new job.

The new face of the Port Coquitlam Farmers’ Market, which opens tomorrow (Thursday) in Leigh Square Community Arts Village, is the volunteer treasurer of PoCo Heritage, the historical society also based at Leigh Square.

“Before I was a shopper at the farmers’ market,” she said.

“Now, I’m running it.”

The PoCo resident takes over the managerial duties from Kathy Marven and said there are a few changes to the eighth season: There will be new vendors as well as an expanded kids’ zone that will include a Lego station near the BMO branch.

As well, the city will have a

MARKET THEMES

Weekly PoCo Farmers’ Market themes in June: June 2: Opening day June 9: Bike to the market June 16: Gardening 101 June 23: Strawberry days June 30: Wild and woolly weekly presence at the market as it promotes civic events — including the PoCo Grand Prix bike race slated for July 15 as part of the BC Superweek — and its outreach programs, such as water conservation.

The city’s artists-in-residence at Leigh Square will also be involved in displays, she said, and service groups such as Burke Mountain Naturalists and Scouts Canada will rotate at a community kiosk.

Meldrum, who has a background in community development, said shoppers can expect to see regular vendors of produce, baked goods (including gluten-free), liquor, cheese and other treats.

And there will be weekly themes that encourage cycling, gardening and healthy eating, for example.

Meldrum said the market drew an average of 1,500 shoppers a week last year and she wants to see that number grow, especially since it is located in the downtown core, within walking distance for thousands of residents — especially those coming off the West Coast Express — and is held midweek and in the late afternoon.

“I think it’s important for Port Coquitlam to have this in the community,” she said, “because

it brings people together.”

Coquitlam Farmers Market, operated by a different group, runs every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Dogwood Pavilion parking lot.

• A celebration cake will be served at 4 p.m. Thursday to mark the opening of the eighth annual PoCo Farmers’ Market.

The market is run by the Haney Farmers Market Society and is sponsored by Vancity. It runs on Thursdays from 3 to 7 p.m. at Leigh Square Community Arts Village (beside PoCo city hall). jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

THE Tri-CiTy NEws

The son of a Coquitlam man who went missing nearly three years ago is lauding the success of the BC Silver Alert notification system for finding an elderly Burnaby woman on Sunday.

Sam Noh, whose father Shin Noh went missing September 2013, says the automated system that reads police agency websites and posts information on social media channels, alerted a resident who spotted the woman; she was reunited with her family.

“I dreamed that would happen to us,” said Noh. He would like to see the government take on a program such as BC Silver Alert, now currently run by volunteers, because it would be more thorough and have a base of funding. He would like to see a Silver Alert app that would notify people in a geographical area when someone went missing.

“You have to work quickly,” Noh said, pointing out that

MOUNTAIN VIEW PARK UPGRADES

The Tri-CiTy News

Grocery stores can now get into the booze business in the city of Coquitlam.

Council voted Monday in favour of changes to city liquor regulations that would allow for the provincially-permitted store-within-a-store model, a decision that wraps up a yearlong debate on the issue that led to two public hearings.

One issue was that the bylaw would reduce separation distances between liquor stores to 300 m, although provincial regulations that override the municipal laws maintain a 1-km separation distance (these separation distances do no apply to wine stores).

A handful of liquor store owners said they fear the province will reduce its separation distance, allowing more competition that could put pressure on the smaller retailers, many of which rely on the profits to support their pub operations.

“We are not against competition and fair practices,” said Brian Coomer, the owner of the John B Pub on Austin Avenue, during one of the two public hearings. “What we are against is destructive competi-

Mountain View Park in Burquitlam will get an upgrade.

Council voted unanimously Monday in favour of spending $1.4 million to replace Hartley Field, which is located at the park, while adding some extra amenities on the west side of the site. Upgrades to the natural grass field, improved dugouts and bleacher seating, and new backstops are all included in the plan; pathway upgrades are also being considered.

Staff is also considering changes to a playground area, which could include a new picnic shelter, picnic tables and some outdoor exercise equipment.

A majority of the money ($1 million) used to pay for the project is expected to come from the city’s field strategy program. tion where rules are slanted or uneven.”

But in a report to council, staff said they would be monitoring any changes made to the provincial liquor rules and would keep council informed of any reduce separation distances. They noted that changing the separation distances would mean scrapping the bylaw and going back to a third public hearing.

Still, council’s vote was far from unanimous.

Coun. Mae Reid said the separation distances do not go far enough, preferring instead to keep them in line with the

TH

1-km provincial regulations.

“Everyone wanted 1 km,” she said. “I don’t know why we won’t keep to it.”

Mayor Richard Stewart noted that most of the people who spoke during the two public hearings were liquor store owners or employees in the industry. He said he had not heard concerns from residents outside of the liquor industry.

“I am not uncomfortable going forward with this,” he said. “I think the market will determine where and how many.”

City promises changes to procurement continued from front page

Council recently approved an additional $500,000 for amphitheatre currently under construction in Town Centre Park, bringing its total cost to $3.2 million; it also approved an additional $485,000 in funding for work at Rochester Park, for a total of $4.84 million. As well, the cost of Smiling Creek Park doubled after it went out for tender, increasing from an originally estimated $1.4 million to $2.8 million.

“We did not anticipate the flurry of activity in the construc-

tion market right now,” said the city’s manager of strategic initiatives, Perry Staniscia, at the time of the first announced overruns. “This is just such a specialized market… There is a limited supply of contractors and they are all extremely busy.”

As a result, staff said some changes have been implemented to ensure that estimates more accurately reflect current market conditions. New escalation contingencies have been adopted and the city will now use a quantity surveyor to ensure that product pricing is accurate.

James Clarke, the city’s manager of capital construction, also noted that the city is constantly trying to expand the number of companies it does business with in order to get the best value.

“We are always looking to expand the pool of contractors we have pricing our work,” he said.

“We know that is the way to get the most competitive pricing.”

During Monday’s meeting, council briefly debated scaling back the work at Victoria Park and potentially removing a skate park as a feature in the plans.

But several councillors said the park work had already been delayed and that adding features to the plans would only get more expensive in the future.

In the end, council voted in favour of authorizing another $250,000 for the project, with Mayor Richard Stewart and councillors Chris Wilson and Bonita Zarrillo voting against the expenditure and councillors Brent Asmundson, Dennis Marsden, Mae Reid and Teri Towner voting in favour. gmckenna@tricitynews.com @gmckennaTC

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

British Columbia Christian Academy

Pilot program may get some of admin. money continued from front page

The Port Coquitlam trustee said SD43 trustees had been lobbying along with other B.C. trustees to keep the funds that were to be set aside for administrative savings and on Tuesday, she said the effort paid off.

“We have been lobbying for the government to hold off taking our administrative cuts because we’ve been working on a pilot project for a mental health initiative,” Shirra told The Tri-City News.

Trustees will still have to decide what to do with the money but would likely put it in a special fund so expenditures can be monitored, she said.

“We’d like to move it around to an actual pot so we can prove

that we’re using that money responsibly,” Shirra said.

But one likely use of the money is a pilot program to help students with mental health issues. “We were looking at $1.5 million to implement that,” Shirra said, and while trustees haven’t voted on it, the program is already being looked at as a model for other districts.

Shirra said rising rates of anxiety among students, especially younger students, sometimes leading to thoughts of suicide, mean the district has to do more on mental health.

“If we don’t deal with mental health, nothing’s going to get done,” Shirra said.

The district is also forecasting a small surplus at the end of this school year, which will

be split up over three years to help schools that have difficulties accommodating students who move into the area over summer.

“It will lessen overcrowding, which creates a domino effect when people move into neighborhoods and can’t get into neighborhood schools,” she said.

That surplus had originally been pegged at $2 million but might be slightly less, she said, because some funds have been used for professional development so teachers are prepared to teach the new curriculum in the fall.

For this school year, SD43 has already set aside $1.5 million for administrative savings. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

COPS & CRIME

WITNESSES SOUGHT IN MAY 12 ATTACK Coquitlam RCMP are asking for the public’s help in identifying two suspects involved in a attack last month.

According to police, a 37-year-old Vancouver man was jogging along Gatensbury Street near Howie Avenue just after 2 p.m. on May 12 when he was struck in the back of the head, causing him to lose temporarily

lose consciousness. When he regained consciousness, he saw two Caucasian males, one wearing jeans and a hoodie, leaving the area. Neither of the suspects took any money or property from the victim. Investigators canvassed the area and spoke with residents in the neighbourhood but didn’t get any more information. Police are now

turning to the public for help.

Anyone with any knowledge of the attack is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-9451550 and quote file number 2016-14896. Those who wish to report anonymously can do so by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or going to www.solvecrime.ca.

OUR OPINION

Ed. system learns, changes Y our child’s school is not the same as the one you attended and, starting in September, more changes are coming.

For the last 12 months, School District 43 and others across B.C. have been rolling out the new kindergarten to Grade 9 curriculum, which is aimed at being more flexible, meeting the needs of diverse learners and more attentive to student interests compared to the past.

Now, a new curriculum for Grade 10 to 12 students is about to be launched, and with it, fewer provincial exams, more emphasis on career studies and a possible revamping of the report card system.

For parents who may be a little shell-shocked by all the changes and worry that this is just a new fad for education, it’s time to relax.

Many of the new personalized teaching strategies — emphasizing proj-

ect-based learning where students look into topics they are interested in and use different ways to show their knowledge — have been in classrooms for some time.

Math and literacy are still important, and there will be provincial exams for these, but competent teachers who know their students will still test knowledge in science,

social studies and Grade 10 language arts. Nothing will change there, except that younger students won’t be writing standardized tests while postsecondary institutions appear to be adapting to the new paradigm.

Other changes are also welcome.

A focus on careers in high school? Bring it on as this means students will

email: newsroom@tricitynews.com phone: 604-472-3030 www.tricitynews.com/opinion

simply spend more time researching and considering options for their future.

Report cards? This will be controversial and fortunately parents are being consulted. Changing the way students are graded is a little scary but the way it’s done now may be just too simplistic to get a good read on how students are doing.

As for whether B.C.’s education system is being dumbed down, this is an argument that is sure to catch fire. B.C. students are already doing well by international measures, including the Program for International Student Assessment, which lists them among the best in the world.

Imagine how they will do when the curriculum encourages them to dig deeper in their studies.

Instead of memorizing texts and dates, they can build you a cell structure or make a movie about it and tell you how it works.

Now, that’s learning.

GARBAGE

If 70-year-olds can learn to recycle, you sure can at Glen elementary school.

I have educated and trained my 70-year-old parents in the new recycling system. It takes reading the information, clarifying questions, understanding what goes where and then putting this knowledge into action. It is not complicated.

It requires effort, like most things in life.

I feel it comes down to: How much it is a priority in one’s life and do I care to learn and do it?

Years ago, before MMBC was implemented, I got into many discussions with my neighbour who would throw his socks and glass jars into recycling bins knowing they did not belong. His rationale was that he paid enough taxes.

I support fines for those with contaminated bins and I would be happy to host recycling workshops on behalf of the city for those who find this system — admittedly, not perfect — challenging.

Nikki Stubbs, Port Coquitlam

MMBC ON RECYCLING & PACKAGING The Editor, Re. “Cities, MMBC are making recycling too complicated” (Letters, The Tri-City News, May 18).

Multi-Material BC (MMBC) does not have a zero-tolerance policy. Our agreement with collectors throughout the province requires 3% or less contamination in recyclables, which means that 97% of materials collected must be residential packaging and printed paper, as opposed to products, organics, textiles or other contaminants that prevent the recycling program from working effectively and efficiently.

MMBC’s contamination-reduction efforts are focused on non-recyclables (i.e., organics/green waste and garbage); hazardous waste; and products outside the scope of the residential packaging and printed paper recycling program. Hazardous waste items, electronics and many other consumer products may be returned through other take-back programs.

With regards to plastic bags and overwrap, glass bottles and jars, and foam packaging, these are all accepted in MMBC’s program as long as they are taken to a depot; this ensures they can be recycled properly and in a way that meets MMBC’s end-market environmental standards.

When residents mix these types of packaging with their other recycling, it makes it difficult to properly process the materials — taking them to a depot means more of all types of materials will get recycled.

I am in total support of banning corporate and union donations to election campaigns, as proposed by Coquitlam Coun. Bonita Zarrillo.

The influence of money has severely distorted the democratic process in this country, which, fortunately has been recognized by our federal government and almost all provinces across the country.

For any politician to say that he/she is not influenced by the corporate and union money received during an election is simply not credible. When corporations or unions give money to a politician, they expect something in return. It’s as simple as that.

Thousands of foam pellets were dumped into Hyde Creek in Port Coquitlam. I appreciate the efforts of the two men who chose to spend their free time vacuuming it up.

The article stated that styrofoam is banned from garbage and has to be taken to a recycling centre. This is correct but the following foam packaging, white and coloured, are not accepted at MMBC depots: foam peanuts, packing chips, or noodles; blue or pink foam board insulation; squishy or flexible foam.

The newly hired CEO of TransLink marked his birthday last Friday with a talk in Coquitlam to promote the region’s transportation authority.

Kevin Desmond told the crowd of 75 people — including a number of local politicians — at the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce luncheon that he believes TransLink has one of the best public transit systems in the world.

In his chat with Douglas College vice-president Hazel Postma, Desmond steered away from the current political tug-of-war between TransLink’s mayors council and the provincial government and he did not give a definite date for the opening of the Evergreen Line, which is due to start operations through Coquitlam and Port Moody early next year.

Still, Desmond said with more funding, TransLink

Desmond also said TransLink wants to work with developers to create more affordable housing opportunities in Metro Vancouver.

“We will have one million more people by 2040,” he said, adding, “I know the mayors want to stay focused on the long view.”

The provincial government has pledged $246 million to

expand the transit system in Metro Vancouver but property taxes and transit fares will likely rise.

Last week’s announcement of new provincial cash is to ensure the region doesn’t lose the $370 million in federal funding that will help to pay for the first phase of the mayors’ 10-year plan — a $7.5-billion vision that includes more buses, another SeaBus, more service hours and studies.

A medicine wheel garden with native plants, vegetables, herbs and berries has been constructed outside the former Millside elementary school in Coquitlam, now home to the Suwalk’h alternative program and the Inquiry Hub. Students, including Cody McKay (above left), and Pierce Cunningham and Johnny Martell (above right) helped build the boxes and now look after the plants.

Gardening and culture at SD43’s Suwalk’h DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News

An ambitious horticultural project is under construction in a Coquitlam school that its proponents say could one day be the basis of a college certificate program to teach students jobready skills.

Today, a medicine wheel garden with traditional plants and berries along with vegetables is taking shape outside the former Millside elementary school in Maillardville — now the home of School District 43’s Suwalk’h alternative school and Inquiry Hub. But the next phase of the project could see the establishment of a greenhouse to give students year-round access to growing and harvesting, and

possibly connections with local colleges, garden centres and other agencies to offer a rich educational experience “It’s about giving them work experience, teaching them empathy when they share food with each other and the local food bank,” said Phillipe Brulot, the district’s principal of aboriginal education.

Under construction for some months with donated materials and plants, as well as seed money from Vancity, the garden is now abundant with healthy vegetables.

“I like looking after the plants,” said Cody McKay, a Grade 12 Suwalk’h student.

Pierce Cunningham and Johnny Martell made similar comments, noting that it’s good to get outdoors and away from

DONATED GARDENING ITEMS NEEDED

The following items are needed for the medicine wheel garden at the former Millside elementary school. If you can help, email npellatt@sd43.bc.ca: • cedar wood; • wheelbarrows; • power tools: cordless drill; garden tools: rakes, shovels, etc.; • garden shed for supplies and/or metal shipping container; • a composter; • fruit trees and other trees; • rain barrels; • electric water pump.

classroom lessons.

The Suwalk’h program has been around for about four years and in that time, has seen a growth in the number of students, with about 50 kids in Grade 6 to 12. The program embeds First Nations teach-

ings in the curriculum, classes are small and students study at their own pace. There is also an outdoor component, where students are encouraged to participate in hikes and even go on fall and winter camping trips with Outward Bound.

A N N I V E R SA RY SPEC I A L

Malcolm Key, SD43’s aboriginal community schools co-ordinator, said the medicine wheel garden is important because it teaches aboriginal students about their heritage.

Formed in the shape of a circle, it has an eastern “gateway” marked by the colour yellow in the form of a box of marigolds, and the other three directions are also marked with flowers of varying colours: white for north, red pansies for south and black pansies for west.

“These colours represent all the nations of the world,” Key explained, adding that the garden brings students closer to the land, important for their spiritual development.

Teacher Natasha Pellatt said the garden has herbs that are used in native healing and

cleansing, such as sage, tobacco and sweetgrass. The garden will also grow native salmon berries and kinnikinnick berries that are used medicinally.

“We want the kids to come outside and have a sense of ownership,” said Pellatt, as she picks some sprigs of mint.

In the summer, kids from the Red Wolf camp will water and look after the garden, the teachers say.

Brulot said he wants to create a community space where people come together to share stories and knowledge, as well as food, to give young people a clearer idea of where they fit in the world. “We want to show them the relationship between everything,” Brulot said.

Steampunk in words & fashion A GOOD READ SUSAN CLARK

A

lthough the term “steampunk” has been around for more than 20 years, many people are mystified by this genre.

The style first appeared in the writings of Jules Verne, Mary Shelley and H. G. Wells.

Prominent elements include a mix of Victoriana and fictional technological inventions.

Stories may incorporate robots, steam-powered machines, airships, alternative histories and other planets. This sub-genre of scifi has influenced movies, television, comics and the internet as well as fashion, jewelry and art. Here are a few titles that illustrate the amazing diversity of steampunk.

The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman is a good place to start exploring steampunk fiction. The story is set in London and in the Arctic regions of a world that is somewhat like our own. Lyra, an orphan, lives among the scholars at Jordan College, Oxford.

She becomes aware of a plot to steal children and transport them to the far north. As Lyra is drawn deeper and deeper into this mystery, she finds that the children are being made to suffer terribly. The story takes you on a journey through magical

worlds with incredible objects and even better characters.

The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack by Mark Hodder combines elements of Victorianera fiction, steampunk, fantasy and science fiction. The story is based on an alternate history timeline where steampunk and eugenics rule the British world.

Sir Richard Burton and his rather strange friend, the poet Algernon Swinburne, investigate assaults on young women committed by a weird apparition known as Spring Heeled Jack.

There is also mystery surrounding the abduction of chimney sweeps and what seems to be a pack of werewolves that are terrorizing London’s East End. Hodder does a great job of creating a tale of havoc and adventure in the structured and stuffy Victorian realm.

Many steampunk novels provide thought-provoking political observations. The Mechanical by Ian Tregillis takes place in an alternate history set in the early 20th century. The Dutch have created Clakkers, mechanical servants and warriors that take care of all the tasks humans are unwilling to do. With clockwork robots to handle almost all physical work, society has no need to evolve unless, of course, the robots become independent.

The mechanical Jax loses the device that compels him to follow orders. Thus, he is eager to protect his newfound free will and is no longer compelled to protect humans. This riveting story compels us to consider how robotics may impact our society in the future.

A Conspiracy of Alchemists

by Liesel Schwarz is set in a world of vampires, fairies and other supernatural creatures.

It is set in 1903 and science has exploited magical energies to create remarkable new technologies. But creatures of light and shadow have started a conflict between the Alchemists and Warlocks, and that could mean the end of this world. When an unusual cargo drops airship pilot Elle Chance into the affairs of the mysterious warlock Mr. Marsh, she is determined to do everything in her power to stop the Alchemists from unleashing a magical apocalypse. Readers

who like a little paranormal romance with their steampunk will enjoy reading this.

Rod Duncan has created a tale of mystery and intrigue in a world known as “the Gas-lit Empire.” Everything is powered by steam, gas and animals. The Patent Office is the most powerful agency in this world and its purpose is to protect the empire from anything that might be of harm. The first of this series, The Bullet Catcher’s Daughter, introduces Elizabeth Barnabus. She’s a woman born in a traveling circus to a bullet catcher and living a double life. She disguises herself as her brother, the private detective, in order to obtain work. When Elizabeth takes on the case of an aristocrat looking to find her missing brother, she becomes tangled in a dangerous, action-packed adventure.

Today, steampunk extends well beyond a genre of fiction.

Calista Taylor has created easy steampunk-inspired projects with her book, Steampunk Your Wardrobe. Many of the projects repurpose already made clothing items. Steampunk Style Jewelry by Jean Campbell features 13 project designs that show you how to make specific pieces through clear step-bystep instructions and illustrations.

Businesses that Austin Denture Clinic

entures are a lot like prosthetic limbs- only everyone will need dentures eventually. It’s a natural and unavoidable part of life: just as teeth inevitably grow in, they eventually fall out.

Feeling self-conscious about losing your teeth is understandable. However, a good pair of dentures, particularly dentures so natural-looking they fool friends and colleagues into thinking they’re your real teeth, is a great way to boost your confidence.

“Denturists help their clients boost their self-esteem by making natural-looking dentures,” says Coquitlam denturist Boris Eroshevski of the Austin Denture Clinic.

“We want to make aging easier on the body and mind.”

Remember when your grandparents pulled out their teeth in front of you for the first time? Dentures from the Austin Denture Clinic are so natural looking, no one would suspect you of having dentures—allowing you to surprise family, friends and co-workers when you pull them out.

“If you need complete dentures, bring in a picture that shows your ideal teeth and we will replicate it,” Boris says. “For partial dentures we match the colouration of your natural teeth to the denture teeth.”

Rotary Out-Reach to the Proud Native People of Peru

Good dental hygiene will ensure that you keep your teeth for a long time, but even those who brush and floss regularly are susceptible to the effects of aging.

“Of course, you want to keep your natural teeth as long as possible,” says Boris, “and dental hygiene is an important part of that. But everyone loses their teeth eventually. And when the time comes to replace them, our goal is to provide you with dentures that allow you to eat and laugh with comfort and confidence.”

For more information about dentures so natural looking you’ll fool your friends and family, visit www.austindentureclinic. com or contact the Austin Denture Clinic at 604-939-1313, by email austdent@telus. net or drop by their location at 230-1140 Austin Avenue in Coquitlam.

On Apr. 8 - 29, 2016 a team of Rotarians and other professionals travelled to Pisac, Peru to conduct an educational medical out-reach project to 7 remote, high Andean villages. Funded through a Rotary International Vocational Training Team Global Grant and contributions from the local Rotary Clubs of Coquitlam, Port Moody, Chilliwack, Sedro-Wooley, Wa., and Delta.

Ground support and direction was provided by DeseaPeru - a local clean water and health promotion program started by two BC residents, Sandra McGirr & Sandy Hart, from Tatla Lake BC. The training was specific to 4 areas; medical, physiotherapy, psychological, and first aid.

In early 2015 Dr. Kathleen Ross made a proposal to the Rotary Club of Coquitlam to support the work she had begun previously to partner with an organization in Lamay, Peru – Desea. This organization has been carrying on services to the indigenous Quechua people in the Sacred Valley of Peru for the past 9 years. They set up Qhalis - the Quechua word for community health workers - in the villages they serve. The Coquitlam Rotary Club supported the project and other local Rotary clubs were invited to join the campaign.

The Team: Dr. Kathleen Ross, Dr. Jim Lane, Mary Ann Lane, Claudia Kraemer, Doug Wickers, Dr. Terry Colton, Joanna Boyd, Matthew Witt, Cristian Toribio, Mike Hamel. Medical supplies were purchased or donated by local organizations such as Rotary World Help Network, pharmacists Tan Ho and Lap Wu of the Austin Pharmacy in Coquitlam. The team departed with 23 bags (each weighing 50 lbs.) of medications, equipment and supplies.

Thank you to the donors to Rotary, the local Rotary Clubs of Coquitlam, Port Moody, Chilliwack, Sedro-Wooley WA, and Delta! Thank you to DeseaPeru and the Quechua people, the ancient peoples of Peru for accepting us into their lives.

or pet owners, the best veterinarian is the one who cares the most for their beloved animals.

The staff at Shaughnessy Veterinary Hospital feels exactly the same way.

“When it comes down to the medicine and the practice, we’re so focused, we’re so determined— we just really want what’s best for the animals,” says office manager, Laura Crichton. “What’s most important is making sure the clients are happy and that their animals are given the best care possible.”

Staff even stay in touch with pet owners after appointments, making follow-up calls to ensure treatment and aftercare is going smoothly, Crichton says. “We’re all very passionate about animals and their well-being.”

The Port Coquitlam animal hospital treats small, furry, four-legged pets of all kinds—primarily dogs and cats, but also smaller animals such as rabbits and hamsters. Stocked with the latest products and equipment, they offer acupuncture and chiropractic services, laser surgery and digital imaging x-rays.

They also have an in-house blood analyzer, which means that test results come back right away, allowing veterinarians to begin treatment.

Deeply connected to the community, Shaughnessy Veterinary Hospital helps out many local non-profit organizations and shelters, including Network for Animals, the SPCA, Katie’s Place, HugA-Bull and others. They also deal with Bosley’s in Port Coquitlam and Bark Avenue in Pitt Meadows.

“The city means a lot to us,” says Crichton, “so we really try to get involved and give back whenever we can.”

MUSICAL THEATRE

Last days on Cent. stage PMss grad FILM

up for a Leo JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

High school drama helped Al Miro master English.

Then, the Italian immigrant had moved with his family to Coquitlam and the teen wasn’t used to speaking the language.

But under the direction of Peter Nicholas Smyth and other teachers at Port Moody secondary, where he graduated as class valedictorian in 2003, Miro quickly became fluent while studying the plays.

He was Gerald McBoingBoing in a Dr. Seuss production and appeared in Pippin as well as The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged).

Recently, Miro watched his school performance tapes with some unease.

“I didn’t know what I was saying but I was really committed to it,” the Vancouver resident said with a laugh.

“I was an outsider when I came here but theatre was my home.”

Now, the Capilano University acting graduate is getting rave reviews for his performance in a gritty film called Daddy’s Boy. And on Sunday, Miro is up for a Leo Award — honouring the best of B.C. film and TV — in the category of Best Supporting Performance by a Male in a Motion Picture.

Miro said being recog-

nized by his peers “is pretty huge.

Like my character in Daddy’s Boy, you’re always AL MIRO looking for validation in the industry....

It would be such a prestigious award to win.”

In the movie, Miro is Max, a gay porn actor in Toronto who lives with his distant father, who happens to be dying. Max hides his sexuality and career but feels he must open up to his dad before he passes. “He just wants to find peace. He wants his father to know who he is and he can’t find that love until he’s honest.

He wants acceptance.”

Miro said when he read the script for Daddy’s Boy, the narrative reminded him of one of his favourite flicks: My Private Idaho starring River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves, which is loosely based on Shakespeare’s Henry IV. Since Daddy’s Boy premiered at Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, it has been screened at the MiFo LGBT Film Festival in Miami and, this summer, has a number of festival debuts in North America.

As for his next film, Miro just wrapped up another gritty show: Dark Harvest, a thriller, with Cheech Marin and James Hutson.

Musical theatre program prepares for a new school JANIS WARREN

The Tri-CiTy News

For some, it was the place they called home during their high school years at Centennial secondary.

For others, the school stage was where they cut their teeth to get ready for their future careers in the arts.

This month, 11 current students and about two dozen alumni will gather for the last time on Centennial’s beloved platform to say goodbye.

The farewell to the stage — and to the school, which is now being rebuilt at the back of the Poirier Street property — will come in the form of a musical revue: A look back at 12 years worth of shows for the musical theatre department.

Under the direction and choreography of Milena Canta (class of 2008), the school will put on One Singular Sensation featuring a number from each of the musicals from 2004, starting with Hair and finishing with this year’s outstanding production of Shrek.

Canta, a teacher at Pulse Dance Centre in Port Coquitlam as well as at the Northwest Academy of Performing Arts in New Westminster and a Squamish studio, said she wanted to give back to the school.

“This theatre has had a really big impact on my life,” she said during rehearsal on Monday.

“It’s a place you called home.

There are so many great memories here for all of us.

Danny Michel is known for his songs, international travels and charity work in Belize. He will appear in Coquitlam for a solo show on Wednesday, June 8 at 8 p.m.

MUSIC

Belize charity work and his boogie van JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Danny Michel may have been nominated for some of the country’s highest music awards.

But it’s his charity work as well as his promotion of fellow artists that have given the celebrated songwriter a broader platform.

Michel, who has landed nominations for Junos and a Polaris Music Prize for his album Black Birds Are Dancing Over Me, has helped to collect more than $70,000 through his Ocean Academy Fund, which offers scholarships for the Caye Caulker Community School in his beloved Belize.

Michel was in the Central American country five years ago to volunteer with the school and, later, to cut his Black Birds CD with The Garifuna Collective.

CONTEST

Email jwarren@tricitynews.com for free tickets to the Danny Michel concert at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre on June 8.

Still, Michel’s mobile web series, Dan’s Space Van, has gained him attention on a different level. The show is filmed in a customized 1978 GMC Vadura — airbrushed with a Star Trek theme — that aims to showcase the work and style fellow musicians.

In addition, Michel hosts School Night Mondays at The Dakota Tavern in Toronto and features top names in the industry.

Michel said the multiple storytelling projects allow him to better study his craft “and up

my game constantly.”

This year, however, was a game changer when Michel dropped Matadora, a 10-track collection he recorded and mixed in his home studio in Waterloo; the feel of Matadora contrasts sharply with Black Birds, offering more of an internal reflection.

Next week, he’ll present songs from the new CD as well as older tunes from his catalogue at a Coquitlam concert.

It’ll be a solo event, which he says gives him the freedom to improvise. “It also gives me the chance to play what I call the ‘campfire versions’ of the songs: Stripped down in their original form.”

• Tickets to hear Danny Michel on June 8 are $35/$30/$15 via the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) at 604-9276555 or evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

A new art exhibit based on “cat fishing”— a slang term used when someone makes up a fake profile on social media — will open in Port Coquitlam on Friday.

Bill Edmonds’ False Pretenses are sketches and paintings on Plexiglas panels (some with mixed media) that were photographed and printed on rag paper.s As part of his display, which runs until July 11 in the Leigh Square Community Arts Village (beside PoCo city hall), Edmonds will also create an installation of a random stranger staring at a computer monitor.

The opening reception for False Pretenses starts at 7 p.m. on June 3; refreshments will be served.

VISUAL ARTS

Emerging artists, alumni unite for annual PdA exhibit

BY JANIS WARREN The Tri-CiTy News

Jeremy Henrickson isn’t quite sure how he got to be part of Place des Arts’ alumni show, which opens Friday.

But he’s glad his former instructor at the Coquitlam facility remembered him and his innovative work.

Henrickson, 34, had taken visual art classes there as a child and later returned in the mid-2000s after graduating from Pinetree secondary.

Then, he studied with faculty teacher Sue Cowan, a senior signature member with the Federation of Canadian Artists.

A few weeks back, Henrickson received an

email from Oliver McTavishWisden, Place des Arts’ fine and performing arts programmer, inviting him to submit a few pieces to the upcoming APEx (Arts, Performances, Exhibitions) alumni exhibit.

“I was really honoured,” he said, adding, “I don’t do too much gallery. Just shops and restaurants.”

Three years ago, Henrickson quit his hospitality job to become a full-time artist.

Now, his mixed media and acrylics are in private collections around the world — as well as in local eateries and businesses.

The Coquitlam resident paints portraits and landscapes, flora and fauna and

pop culture. And Henrickson even has a YouTube channel (“art of JPH”) and a Tumblr feed to demonstrate his skill.

Other Place des Arts’ alumni to be highlighted in third annual APEx exhibit include ceramic artists Jason Duggar and Ninna Snider, violinist Peter Weinkam and dancers Brett Browser and Emily Mustard.

Their work in the Mezzanine Gallery will run at the same time as the APEx Student Show, showcasing the work of more than 30 visual arts students in the 2015-’16 season.

As well, young artists in Don Portelance’s Art Enhancement class will hang their pieces in the Leonore Peyton Salon for “Images and Ideas.”

MILENA CANTA she said with a smile.

Drama teacher Lisa Boddez said proceeds from One Singular Sensation will go into the musical theatre program at the new school, which is due to open in September.

Fortunately, the stage size will be the same and there will be 35 more seats, including in a mezzanine section.

THE 2016 ANNUAL

From hair to shrek

“It represents our friends and family,” Canta said.

Darlene Jordan (class of 2015) concurred. She joined Centennial’s musical theatre program in grades 11 and 12 and won the roles of Linda in The Wedding Singer and Serena in Legally Blonde.

“This was where I felt free and wasn’t judged,” she said, looking around the venue.

“I had so much fun here that my only regret is I didn’t join it sooner.”

Jordan, who recently graduated in acting from the Vancouver Film School, learned about One Singular Sensation after a call-out on Facebook. She and her brother, L.J. Jordan (class of 2009), signed up right away.

“It gives us a chance to perform on our old stage again,”

ROBERT MCDONALD PHOTO

The first five minutes of Saturday’s Western Lacrosse Association matchup between the Langley Thunder and the Coquitlam Adanacs looked like the game could have gone either way.

That feeling did not last long.

Starting midway through the opening frame and continuing until the final buzzer, it was all Adanacs, as the club came from being down 2-1 to scoring 10 unanswered goals.

The Thunder managed to net one more early in the third but that was all the offence

Coquitlam Adanacs forward Matthew Delmonico (42) scored two goals and two assists during a 13-3 win over the Langley Thunder during Western Lacrosse Association action at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex last Saturday. The team will host the Nanaimo Timbermen this Saturday, June 4, at 7 p.m.

the visitors would be able to muster, as the A’s went on to win 13-3.

Reid Reinholdt had his best game of the season so far for Coquitlam, netting four goals and dishing out two helpers for an effort that earned him the first star of the game. see A’S WANT, page 30

JUNIOR HOCKEY

PoMo Panther looks to crack the WHL ‘They want me in the big shutdown defenceman role’ NEIL CORBETT BLACK PRESS

A former Port Moody Panther is looking to crack the WHL. Brandon Armstron, a 6’5”, 215-lb. defenceman from Maple Ridge, will join the Moose Jaw Warriors this summer, a team that has told the young blueliner they will give him every chance to make the club this fall.

“They want me in the big,

shutdown defenceman role,” he said.

Armstrong has been working his way up the hockey ranks.

Two seasons ago he was with the major midget Vancouver Northeast Chiefs, where he put up 21 points and 98 penalty minutes in 40 games. Then last season he made the jump to the Pacific Junior Hockey League, taking up a spot with the Panthers for the 2015-16 season.

The move was a bit of an adjustment.

He put up six goals, 16 points with 100 penalty minutes in 35 games he played, good enough to get the attention of the

Warriors, who chose him in the fifth round of the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft, 92nd overall.

“It’s obviously a big jump,” Armstrong said, and the team has asked him to work on his foot speed over the summer.

He has been working with his Panthers coach Ron Johnson, lengthening his stride and using his edges.

“Physically, I’m ready. I should be fine. The biggest thing for me is the speed.”

Time is on Armstrong’s side.

At 17, he could play four years of major junior.

“My goal is to make it as far as possible,” he said.

His new coach, Tim Hunter, the former NHL gladiator who

played with the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks, left an impression on the Ridge teen.

“I think he’s broken his nose a few times,” he said.

The Warriors have some spots open on defence, with veterans having moved on.

“We believe that he has the ability to be an intimidating presence on the ice with his size,” said general manager Alan Millar. “He plays with an edge and we think that he’s real coachable and he’ll learn a lot through training camp and the early part of the season and he’ll be a big part of our future.”

SD43’s $1.3M to go to mental health The news that School District 43 will be able to put $1.3 million in administrative savings back into classrooms could mean more money for mental health programs and other initiatives, says board chair Judy Shirra.

The province made the announcement Tuesday, giving $25 million in savings by school districts back to school districts. Burnaby is to receive just over $1 million while Vancouver School Board will get $2.25 million.
