Last minute tax changes in PoCo Budget error corrected for this year but 2012 issue still a concern By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Coquitlam councillors worked quickly this week to rectify a mistake in the 2013 financial plan that would have seen taxpayers hand over more money to the city than staff intended. The change comes after a review of this

year’s and the 2012 budget found that a 1% infrastructure levy — money used to replace the city’s aging roads and facilities — was duplicated. Residents can now expect to see a 2.84% increase when their property tax bill arrives, instead of the 3.7% that was originally announced, a difference of approximately $16.51 for the average single-family home owner. see COUNCIL, page 12

A 16-year-old Riverside secondary student with a “survivalist” mentality who had vanished for three weeks from his Port Coquitlam home is now back safe and sound. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said he was informed by investigators at around 1:30 p.m. yesterday that Dominique Delagiraudais had returned to his family home. Police were at his residence during the afternoon to determine his whereabouts since April 21 when he disappeared after a spat with his mother. During a press conference on Monday, Marie Delagiraudais told reporters the disagreement

was “just teenage-mother stuff” and she didn’t think anything of it when he left. H o w e v e r, w h e n Dominique didn’t come home the following day, she called the Coquitlam RCMP, which activated its missing persons unit and, over the next few days, police conducted an extensive area search. Last week, Coquitlam Search and Rescue combed the length of the Coquitlam River after a bag with several of his possessions was stashed close to the family home. Mounties believed he was camping in the wilderness as he took a large black duffel bag full of supplies with him, indicating he was ready for an extended stay. jwarren@tricitynews.com

PoCo’s bully ban will not proceed

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

SUBMitteD phOtO

Port Coquitlam mom Carol Todd, left, takes a moment to reflect on the stories told by families whose children were harmed by bullying and cyberbullying during a round table discussion with Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Winnipeg last Friday.

Mom keeps up battle against bullies By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Nearly eight months after Carol Todd laid her daughter to rest, the Port Coquitlam mom and educator is still working to end bullying on a national scale and counts as a win her meeting last week with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “He said that he and his government would sit down and hash out a change to the legislation in the criminal code and look at the victims and the families of the victims,” Todd said in recounting a round-table meeting with the prime minister and several families who’ve lost children to bullying or cyberbullying. The meeting held last week in Winnipeg follows numerous tragic events, including the

Amanda Todd suicide last October of Amanda Todd, who before she committed suicide posted a video chronicling months of taunting and cyberbullying, and the April suicide of Rehtaeh Parsons after bullying and harassment related to photos of an alleged rape. Todd and Parson’s parents were at the meeting, along with other families whose children suffered similar trag-

edies, and representatives of online advocacy groups such as the Canadian Centre for Child Protection (CCCP) and the Kids Help Phone. Not only was the meeting a comfort to Todd, who got to share her story in a personal conversation with Harper, but she came away feeling optimistic that something would be done to protect children who might otherwise be victimized online. She was also impressed by CCCP, which has pledged to work with the government on education and has produced a helpful website needhelpnow.ca that provides Canadian youth with tips on dealing with online issues. The site includes: • practical steps to get a video or a photo taken off the internet;

• steps to take when a photo is being shared by peers; • numbers to call to get help; • steps for moving forward in a positive way; • and where to call to report a tip when things have gone too far. “It brings Amanda’s legacy to the forefront,” Todd said of the event, which capped several months of advocacy for change to the way governments, social media companies and internet providers treat children and online tormentors. With the help of social media expert Jesse Miller, Todd has also crafted a letter as a follow up to last Friday’s meeting, calling for the federal government to take a leadership role in combating cyberbullying (at right).

Letter to the Prime minister

Dear Mr. Prime Minister Excerpts from Carol Todd’s letter to Stephen Harper: “As we have seen in many tragic incidents, the role of social media and mobile technology has allowed children to become documentarians and journalists without the benefit of life experiences to assist in judgement of how to share these events, especially when the events are of a serious nature.” “Cyberbullying incidents are continually on the rise and, with some recent noteworthy events, we have seen where children have chosen suicide as an option for their pain.” • Digital Citizenship must be taught, including at the elementary school level, and even younger, to prepare them for the online world • Federal leadership to provide tools and guidelines as well as tougher legislation to make cyberbullying a criminal offense • More accountability of parents for their children’s online behavior, including verification of social media accounts • More accountability from social media sites, mobile phone and internet providers Information about being safe online is also available at www.getcybersafe.gc.ca.

A plan to make Port Coquitlam the first city in B.C. to make bullying illegal won’t proceed after it failed a legal review. But the city’s mayor says efforts weren’t wasted because cyberbullying is now on the national agenda — and more people are aware of the the consequences of bullying behavior. Greg Moore said the city wanted to give police powers to catch and fine bullies with the goal of educating them and making the internet safer for kids. But, after investigating the issue, the city concluded it couldn’t go ahead because the bylaw would infringe on the criminal code. “I am disappointed. We were taking a similar bylaw that had been passed by a handful of municipalities across Canada. The RCMP decided to do a review of the bylaw and they came back and told us they weren’t able to enforce the bylaw,” Moore said Tuesday. But he expects it won’t be long before the federal government steps in with amendments to the criminal code to make it easier to catch and deal with bullies and make cyberbullying a crime as well. While a city bylaw would have provided police with some flexibility in applying fines, encouraging suspected bullies to take sensitivity and awareness training instead, changes to the criminal code could do the same thing. “ Th e r e ’ s n o r e a son why if the criminal code was adjusted that brought that bar down that a local RCMP couldn’t do a restorative justice program,” he said, noting that it’s used already in some criminal cases involving youth. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Police believe body found at Colony Farm met with foul play By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News

A middle-aged man’s body was discovered by a passerby on a popular trail in Colony Farm Regional Park in Coquitlam on Sunday. Coquitlam RCMP were initially called to the scene but have since turned the case over to the Integrated Homicide I nve s t i g at i o n Te a m (IHIT). The victim, 44-year-old Clifford Arthur Devitt,

IHIT investigators suspect foul play after a man’s body was found in the park Monday. was a transient person who mostly frequented Maple Ridge, Coquitlam

and Port Coquitlam, said IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Bari Emam.

When asked if Devitt was known to police, Emam said they have some files on him; however, “I don’t know the extent of [the information in the files],” added Emam. Members of the RCMP’s Lower Mainland Integrated Forensic Identification Service (IFIS) and Integrated Tactical Troop (ITT) team were still combing the vast scene for evidence Tuesday afternoon.

Emam could not confirm the exact location where the body was found but said it was near a dyke and that the adjacent waterway was searched. IHIT has also canvassed the Kwikwetlem First Nation and Forensic Psychiatric Hospital for information, given their close proximity to the crime scene. “There is no indication that the discovery of the body has anything to do with the location,”said Emam.

And while he could not reveal the nature of the dead man’s injuries, Emam said they were not consistent with those of a gang-related murder. “Obvious signs of a gang hit are usually visible when we come up to a crime scene,” added Emam. A bike, which investigators believe belongs to Devitt, was found by his body. The RCMP have released a photo of Devitt and the bike in the hopes of generating tips from

the public. IHIT is asking anyone who was in the area adjacent to the dyke system or along the trail in the park that may have witnessed anything suspicious to contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca. Anonymous tips can also be sent to CrimeStoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477 or left through its website at Solvecrime.ca. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Coq. council considers Partington plan Location of Star Creek Park a concerns for some residents

And he’d like the city to reconfigure on-street parking to avoid the jams now happening in the neighbourhoods of Upper and Lower Hyde Creeks, and Smiling Creek (secondary suites are allowed in Burke single-family homes that don’t have a covenant). Asmundson said the city has made “some mistakes” in planning the three neighbourhoods, specifically with parking and driveway let-downs; however, he was pleased to see Partington will have wider streets that will improve traffic flows. Meanwhile, the draft plan also calls for more density in Baycrest —

By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NewS

A plan to build a community on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain — the same size as Pitt Meadows — will be considered for first bylaw reading within the next month. At Monday’s councilin-committee meeting, city managers presented the final draft document for Partington Creek, a neighbourhood on the eastern side of Burke that, when built out, is expected to accommodate up to 15,000 new residents. The 595 acres will also be the commercial and recreational hub for the mountain. Jim McIntyre, Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development, said there have been some refinements to the Partington plan since December following public consultations, including an open house in February that drew 236 people. Among the feedback gathered included concerns about the location of Star Creek Park, a 3.7acre site in the centre of Partington that has now shrunk in the draft plan to a 2.2-acre rectangular park with surrounding

an area where residents had previously resisted multi-family units — as well as bear corridors. Partington, which has agricultural land to the south and fish-spawning streams, will have better provisions for garbage and recycling pick-up to prevent human/bear conflicts, the committee heard. Mayor Richard Stewart also asked city staff to rename Upper Victoria Drive, which he said will be confusing as the area grows, while Coun. Mae Reid pressed to meet with School District 43 officials to designate the three elementary and a middle

school sites. The committee unanimously passed the draft Partington plan following a 90-minute discussion (councillors Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson were absent); city council is expected to consider first bylaw reading in early June with a public hearing scheduled before the summer break, McIntyre said. When built out over the next 20 years, Burke Mountain is expected to have 20,000 more residents.

Partington Creek is Coquitlam’s fourth and largest neighbourhood for Burke Mountain. City council is expected to consider the draft document for its first bylaw reading later this month. townhouses. Last week, the five owners whose property lands on Star Creek Park (one on Pollard Street and four along Upper Victoria Drive) requested council defer the Partington plan until the issues were resolved, city planner Ryan Perry told the committee. But councillors said big, open green spaces

are required on Burke — and especially in Partington, where the terrain is sloped and there are few flat sites. Coun. Brent Asmundson, a Burke resident, said density will be tight in Partington as most residents will live in multi-family homes. “They won’t have back yards,”he said. Coun. Craig Hodge,

also a Burke homeowner, said council has to look at the needs of current and future residents who will expect amenities close by. H o d g e s a i d h e ’d also like to have more “green streets” — a common front lawn — for Partington homeowners like the one on Watkins Avenue, in Upper Hyde Creek.

Gas price climb driven by refinery trouble Near-record pump pain for Metro Vancouver motorists Jeff Nagel Black Press

Gas prices in Metro Vancouver are flirting with record levels but at least one industry observer doesn’t expect they’ll shoot too much higher. The average regular gas price in Metro hit $1.495 per litre Tuesday, up about eight cents in the past week. Petroleum analyst Jason Parent, a senior associate at the Kent Group, said supplies have tightened and prices are up partly in response to the unexpected shutdown of gasoline refining units at a Suncor refinery near Edmonton. He said the outlook for the Lower Mainland depends in part on how long refining is disrupted at Suncor. “It all depends on how long that lasts and how effectively suppliers are able to bring in alternate supply into that region,”

Black press file photo

The recent hike in gas prices are largely due to an unexpected shutdown of gasoline refining units at a Suncor refinery in Edmonton. Parent said. “Generally speaking, I wouldn’t expect it to get much higher.” Gas prices typically jump in the spring as more drivers take to the roads, cutting into gasoline supplies and putting upward pressure on prices. But Parent said the traditional seasonal spike happened earlier this year. He said wholesale

prices paid by retailers have already risen about 14 cents in the last couple of weeks. “Retail prices up until the last couple of days haven’t really kept pace with that.” Gas prices here are also influenced by the fact Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline, which supplies most of Metro’s refined gasoline, is at capacity. Parent said the pipe-

line may have allocated slightly more capacity recently to crude oil shipments, leaving less flexibility to move more gasoline in response to jumps in demand. Motorists shouldn’t assume that they’re being ripped off just because gasoline prices are rising at a time that crude oil prices have remained flat. “Crude oil and refined gasoline are two different commodities with different supply and demand fundamentals,” Parent said. “Their prices can be moving in opposite directions at the same time for different reasons.” Gas prices here hit a recent bottom of around $1.20 per litre in December, according to the website Gasbuddy. com. M e t r o Va n c o u ve r gas prices haven’t been this lofty since the record highs of around $1.50 a litre in the summer of 2008, and prices now would be lower than at that time if not for increases since then in B.C.’s carbon tax or TransLink’s fuel tax. jnagel@blackpress.ca

I highly recommend this safe, non-invasive therapy.” Theresa Kraynyk (81) Burn Injury “...My calf had made contact with a hot tail pipe of a Harley and the burn was just oozing. There was a noticeable improvement after one treatment, and after 3 in a row, it was as good as gone!” Debbie Moore (43) Sciatica “My GP could not offer any treatment other than pain killers and waiting it out. After six laser treatments I am now pain free and have resumed my active life style.” J.I.

If bears get into your garbage, guess what? — it’s your fault and you will be fined. That’s the word from B.C. Conservation Officers frustrated that Tri-City residents aren’t getting the message that a fed bear is a dead bear. After repeated visits to scofflaws who leave their garbage and other attractants out for bears to eat, local COs will now be fining people. And those fines aren’t cheap, costing $231 for an offence under the Wildlife Act. “For the past couple of years, we’ve been providing education and giving warnings a try and it doesn’t seem to be doing much,” said conservation officer Cody Ambrose, who emphasized that COs will have a zero-tolerance approach to garbage and attractants left unsecured. The warnings come as COs have been trying to deal with a sow and three cubs in Port Coquitlam near the Hyde Creek recreation centre that didn’t hibernate this past winter, probably because household garbage was available to eat. Now they’ve become a nuisance. Ambrose said that l a s t Fr i d ay t h r e e cubs were treed near Minnekhada middle school while the agitated sow ran into the woods. Efforts to tranquilize the cubs failed, but eventually the trio climbed down the tree and ran after the sow. But they’ll be back, he warned, especially if there’s human food around. One homeowner whose garbage was a likely source of winter banqueting has already been fined after COs failed to convince her to be more careful with her household waste. “We were able educate and give a warning to this resident, the CO even cleaned up her garbage, and unfortunately this year, it’s the same again, [so] she was issued a fine under the Wildlife Act.” But PoCo isn’t the only area of bear activity over the winter, bears have been sighted over the winter in Port Moody and Coquitlam, too, probably because human garbage was easy to come by.

Layoff notices sent out to SD43 workers By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

A week after passing a budget laced with $12.5 million in cuts, School District 43 is in the midst of a massive reorganization that will take weeks, even months, to sort out. Last week, most employees whose jobs

would be affected w e r e g i v e n notice, said superintendent Tom GRANT Grant, but bumping and reassignments will take some time and there may be severance and arbitrations under collective agreements to resolve as well. It’s not a happy time, he acknowledged, but efforts to deal with the job reductions are being

taken in the most dignified manner possible, Grant said. “I think people are still on tenterhooks,” he said. “Reductions that are at this level always take a toll on morale, on psyche, on people’s

feelings. We’re trying to acknowledge, accommodate, and be as careful as we can in dealing with our employees because I think they have been loyal employees to this district for a long, long time.”

Job changes are expected to occur at the board office, where an assistant superintendent will take over the role of student services director, and in the the staff development department, where most

of the co-ordinators are leaving. There will be changes in the student services department as well, with the loss of the director and cuts to hours of some workers. Clerical and custodian

Banding together to build a fence sistance but it was told it wasn’t the company’s responsibility; and, in June 2012, the city also declined to step in for legal reasons. That’s when some plateau homeowners took matters into their own hands, researched the fencing materials available, had the land engineered and hired a contractor to get the job done. Lockery Munnion said he spent many late nights with his Bighorn Place neighbours to discuss the pros and cons of having the fence redone — all at once — along their street. Now, Bighorn as well as Pika and Coyote court homeowners have a uniform, eco-friendly and

They say that good fences make good neighbours. And that’s the case for 25 homeowners on Westwood Plateau who recently banded together to have their adjoining structure upgraded in an effort to beautify the area. Their journey started in October 2011 when Tom Cox and Lockery Munnion of the Westwood Plateau Community Association asked Coquitlam city council for “leadership” in helping to update the cedar fence, which had fallen into disrepair. The common amenity was built on private

To compli-

cate matters for the association, the fence posts didn’t line up with property lines. The association approached Wesbild for as-

graffiti-resistant fence with a 25-year warranty. “It’s a significant uplift to our property values,” Munnion said. “We are very happy with the look and it’s certainly more appealing than that rickety old fence.” Added Cox, “We are proud of the neighbours. It’s taken a lot of work.” With the new fence up, the pair hopes other plateau homeowners on the animal- and birdnamed streets make the same investment. “I would invite all of Westwood Plateau residents who are facing the same issues to get organized and come see what we’ve done,” Munnion said. “I’m sure they will be just as impressed.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

PoCo council OKs 2 a.m. Cat & Fiddle closings By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The Cat and Fiddle Sports Bar has the city of Port Coquitlam’s blessing to keep its doors open an extra hour on Friday and Saturday nights. Now the bar owners, who said they need to remain open until 2 a.m. on weekends to compete with businesses in neighbouring municipalities, will be able to take their case to the provincial Liquor Control and Licensing Branch for final approval. The decision to support the changes came after a public hearing during

M o n d ay night’s council meeting, which saw five people s p e a k Penner against the proposal and 12 people, including several employees and the owner of the pub, speak in favour. Members of council were also divided on the issue of letting the bar remain open later on weekends. Coun. Darrell Penner said he was concerned that granting the extension would set a precedent for other bars in the

municipality. He also took issue with the notion put f o r wa rd by the WesT proponents that extending the hours would cut down on drinking and driving because people would not go to another pub for last call. “I totally fail to see how opening a drinking establishment for another hour helps reduce drinking and driving,” he said. “I don’t understand that at all.” Several residents who spoke at the public hear-

ing also complained about noise from patrons leaving the bar, saying that extending the hours would only add to the problem. Darrel Robertson, who resides next to the Cat and Fiddle, also took issue with some of the people that spoke in favour of the later closings who did not live in the area. “We have to put up with the noise,” he said. “People who don’t live next door to it… have no idea what goes on there.” Despite the issues, council voted in favour of supporting the Cat and Fiddle’s request for the 2 a.m. weekend closing, with both Penner and

Coun. Mike Forrest opposing the measure. Coun. Brad West said he believed that extending bar hours to 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays was part of a trend that is occurring across the region. “I understand the concerns of neighbours who live in the area,” he said. “I’m supportive of the extension of one hour, which I don’t believe is too much to ask for.” Coun. Michael Wright agreed that the hours should be extended, but said the bar owners need to do more to work with residents in the surrounding area.

Tighten laws

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is making all the right moves in addressing the issue of cyberbullying in Canada but local people want him to go further. Last week the prime minister and Vic Toews, minister of Public Safety, met with families whose children were victims of cyberbullying, including Carol Todd, the mother of Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd. The aim of the the meeting was to discuss ways of ending online harassment and exploitation, which has become an epidemic with the rise of social media, with the further goal of addressing gaps in the Canadian Criminal Code related to cyberbullying. This comes as good news to many parents looking for the federal government to take a tougher stand against anonymous, threatening and demeaning comments made by children and adults in the online environment. Tightening legal loopholes in the Canadian Criminal Code is the only way get cyberstalkers and others to take notice because local efforts, such as bylaws prohibiting this kind of behaviour, can’t do the job. Port Coquitlam, for example, wanted to be the first city in B.C. to have an anti-bullying bylaw, but after a review of legal jurisprudence, concluded that only the Criminal Code should be used to address serious bullying behaviour. To that end, the Tri-Cities Family Court and Justice is looking for several amendments to the Criminal Code to ensure that it includes bullying by electronic means, assigns appropriate consequences and a restorative justice approach where appropriate. Carol Todd, who met with Harper and has been a strong advocate of awareness and tougher laws to prevent cyberbullying, also wants to see the federal government take action and will not let up her vigil until new laws are in place. The prime minister has been more than willing to listen and his Conservative government has a good record for coming down on the side of the victims. But a nuanced approach to this difficult issue is needed, and sooner, rather than later.

Things you can’t say during a provincial election BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA nother election campaign has come and gone, with the ritual posturing of political parties and most news media searching for anything they can portray as a conflict. Now comes the time to wonder why not enough people cared, or informed themselves about the real problems of running this $40 billion corporation called the B.C. government. Why would they, when the whole thing is presented as a combination of beauty contest and sports event, with endless discussion of polls and “attack ads” and who’s ahead and what’s the score? Again we have seen the truth of former prime minister Kim Campbell’s observation that elections are no time to talk about seri-

ous issues. Indeed, there are some things you can’t speak of at all. Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm caused a stir at a candidates’ debate when he referred to constituents’ concerns that disabled children can cause difficulties in classrooms. He didn’t say classrooms should be segregated, although that’s a discussion worth having. He didn’t deny the need for more support for special needs kids. But his opponents immediately portrayed it that way, and media seized on the conflict despite the factual inaccuracy. West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan had a similar experience when he referred to his study of poverty in that affluent area. He noted that there was a high correlation between single parenthood and kids in poverty. Picking on single mums, his detractors exclaimed, and that’s what got reported. The B.C. Conservatives kicked their Boundary-Similkameen candidate out of the party because he wrote an article saying women shouldn’t choose to be single mothers.

You can talk about child poverty, as long as you only discuss it based on federal statistics that do not measure poverty. Christy Clark started doing this as soon as she became B.C. Liberal leader, one of several issues where she dispensed with the facts and tried to copy a popular NDP stance instead. She was all about families, which can of course be single people, single parents or pretty well anything you want them to be. In fact the decline of the traditional family and the abdication of responsibility by many parents, fathers in particular, are central factors in the problem of poor and neglected children. But you can’t talk about that, at least not during elections. Whole areas of political discussion have devolved into euphemisms that are chosen because they can’t be defined. Everybody’s in favour of “affordable housing,” for instance. What they won’t admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, because then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it. Good grief, that might raise the question

of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they otherwise couldn’t afford to live. We even have rules preventing the media from reporting polls on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see. If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead. If you tell them someone is making a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the winning side, or the one that has “momentum.” Just like any other sport. The news media are steadily losing influence with the public. There are many factors involved, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people’s fingertips. Another factor is treating the public like they’re idiots. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Property tax fairest way to pay for new infrastructure to use property taxes to fund major projects. They obviously want to keep these for their own taxation purposes. Property taxes are the only fair way to spread the huge construction costs evenly to everyone in Metro Vancouver. All property owners would benefit from better transportation whether they drive a car or not.

Landlords would also pass on a small amount of the additional tax to each of their tenants, who would also benefit. We need region wide planning for all transportation to avoid the Vancouver versus Surrey and Coquitlam versus New Westminster situations that exist now. Glen Rickard, Coquitlam

Witnesses thanked for accident help The Editor, My father and I were driving back home on the northbound lane of Pitt River Road on Monday, April 29, when a white pickup truck travelling on the southbound lane crossed over the line and headed straight for us. I managed to swerve to avoid a head-on collision but the truck still managed to hit the rear passenger side of our car and fled the scene. We were fortunate to be unharmed and that several witnesses came to our aid. I’d like to thank the Janis who quickly called the authorities, the gentleman who followed after the hit-and-

run driver and got a license plate number and description, and the other gentleman who helped push our car so it wouldn’t block traffic. The witnesses were all very helpful and stayed with us until the police arrived. We are very grateful for all of their help and I regret that I wasn’t able to get all of their names. Thanks to their assistance we were able to get this incident resolved with ICBC without any complications. J. Mok, Port Coquitlam

Why all the bickering? The Editor, Once in power, most provincial policies and decisions made on our behalf end up differing little between the two main parties. And there’s a surprising amount of behind-the-scenes cooperation between the parties once they’re back at work. So why the shrill finger-pointing during an election? I’m embarrassed by the political culture in B.C., by the fear-mongering and by the angry posturing behaviour in the legislature and in public in-between elections. Lots of things that supposedly “work” — like negative campaigning, so we’re told — are still flat-out manipulative and wrong. It’s not the way most of us live and it doesn’t reflect who we are as British Columbians. It’s no wonder we toss a coin and hold our noses to vote if, sadly, we vote at all.

Council will discuss 2012 budget surplus continued from front page

“When you find an error of this scope you go through the rest of the books to make sure there aren’t other issues,” said Mayor Greg Moore during the meeting. “We have… gone through to ensure we are doing everything we can to make sure everything is being run as transparently as possible.” During Monday night’s meeting council voted unanimously to rescind third reading of the old tax rate bylaw in order to remove the duplicated 1% infrastructure levy from the 2013 budget. However, because of a provincial deadline requiring all municipalities to have their financial plans approved by May 15, a special council meeting was expected to be convened Tuesday night (after The Tri-City News’ deadline) to approve fourth and final reading. Council’s at-

tention will now turn to the 2012 budget, which also included Moore the additional 1% infrastructure transfer error. Staff said the additional funds that were collected last year — approximately $442,000 — will be treated as surplus funds. “In most years council has had to deal with a surplus, which is exactly the same type of thing in which we have money that we didn’t spend,” said Coun. Mike Forrest. “This is a little bit different. There is a challenge for us to deal with how we handle these things.” Last Thursday, Richard Wells, PoCo’s interim director of corporate services, stopped short of saying that the city collected more in 2012 than it had intended. He believes that had

council known of the error, it is likely that the they would have kept Forrest the property tax increase for 2012 at the same percentage the city collected and used the money for other things. “It’s hard to go back and try to determine what council’s decisions would have been or whether they would have decided to do other projects,” he said last week. “It is hard to go back and say that it would have been different.” He also noted that last year, in an effort to keep tax rates low, council voted to use surplus funds from the 2011 budget to reduce the 1% increase to about 0.28%. But because of the duplication, residents would have paid both, for a total of 1.28%, Wells said. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Fraser River rises with snowmelt, rain Jeff Nagel BlaCk PReSS

The Fraser River is rising fast as a result of rapid snowmelt from last week’s hot weather as well as rain since then. The B.C. River

Forecast Centre on Monday issued a high streamflow advisory for the Fraser in the Lower Mainland, as well as further upstream in Quesnel, the Fraser Canyon and at Hope The Fraser was flowing at 9,000 cubic metres per second at Hope as of Monday and that was forecast to reach 10,000 as early as Wednesday and potentially 11,500 by Thursday. “Given current rates

of rise in tributary channels, and wet weather yesterday and today, model results may be underestimating the rate of rise in the Lower Fraser,” the forecast centre cautioned. A high streamflow advisory means river levles are expected to rise rapidly, and although minor flooding in lowlying areas is possible, no major flooding is expected.

From mystery novels to quirky stories, there’s plenty to keep page turners busy A GOOD READ Bronwyn Punch Looking for a summer read? Check out these books

’ve been reading a variety of things lately and so I decided to use “No Theme” as my theme. I hope you find one (or more) of the following titles interesting: Where’d You Go Bernadette? by Maria Semple is a quirky and fun tale. This book tells us all about the life and times of Bernadette Fox, mother, brilliant architect and a woman with an increasing case of agoraphobia. Bernadette’s beloved daughter Bee aces her report card and lets her family know that she intends to take her parents up on her promised reward — a family trip to Antarctica. Bernadette is thrilled for Bee but is less pleased for herself; she hates leaving the house. Bernadette’s allergy to the outside world slowly increases until her virtual personal assistant — located in India — is

doing the most basic tasks for her. Unfortunately for Bernadette, her virtual assistant can’t actually go on this trip in her place. Something big needs changing in Bernadette’s life but how will the change affect her and her family? Read this entertaining novel when you’re in the mood for something fun! Rush of Blood by Mark Billingham is a book about three English couples who meet while on vacation in Florida. They don’t have much in common but they bond over good times in the warm sun until tragedy strikes on the last day of their holiday. A young girl, also staying at the resort with her mother, goes miss-

ing. All three couples are shaken my the mother’s understandable fear and, on that note, their vacation ends. Because they had got along so well while away and because they all live near each other, the three couples decide to meet for a dinner party a few weeks after returning home. Inevitably the subject of the young girl comes up. They each discuss their memories and talk about where they were when she went missing. Over the next couple of months they meet two more times. Each time they discuss the crime and each time new evidence is revealed. This is a classic whodunnit and is a great pick for mystery fans. In Mr. Penumbra’s

24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan, web-designer Clay Jannon has been laid off. In this economy he doesn’t hold out much hope for getting another web design job so he applies to be a clerk at a strange 24 hour bookstore. Clay, being the new guy, gets the night shift and the customers he sees count as some of the oddest people he’s ever interacted with. To make things even more unusual, none of the customers seem to ever actually buy anything. Instead, they come in and borrow enormous books filled with unintelligible writings. Because the night shift isn’t exactly bustling, Clay has lots of time to puzzle over these myste-

rious events. Eventually he enlists a few friends to help him figure out what’s going on. Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann is another interesting book that ties a group of very different people together using an amazing incident — a man walking across a wire between NewYork’s twin towers. The first group of stories detail the life of Corrigan, a radical young Irish priest who ministers to a group of prostitutes in a very bad part of the city. The story then goes on to a group of mothers who have lost their sons in the Vietnam war. From there we learn about the life and times of a young artist and after that we hear about a judge. These disparate stories end up beautifully woven together. This is an absolutely excellent book that will stay with you long after you’ve finished it. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Bronwyn Punch works at Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam.

Workshop for families coping with dementia Dementia often brings about changes in behaviour and communication, which can dramatically affect family caregivers. That’s why the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. is running its free Family Caregiver Series in Coquitlam in June. The two-session series provides practical coping strategies for family members who are caring for a person with dementia. “It is through education that caregivers understand the disease and learn effective strategies to deal with changing communication and behaviours,” said Dorothy Leclair, one of the society’s support and education coordinators for the North Fraser region. “With this new understanding caregivers become empowered and they are ultimately more resilient on the dementia journey,” adds Lori Kelly, the society’s other support and education coordinator for the area. Topics to be covered in the series include: • Understanding Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. • Effective and creative ways of facilitating communication with a person with dementia. • Problem solving for responsive behaviours. • Self-care for the caregiver. • Planning for the future. The series runs on Saturdays, Jun. 22 and Jul. 6 (no session on Jun. 29), from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Greystone Manor (11657 Ritchie Ave., Maple Ridge). Pre-registration is required. For information and to register contact Leclair or Kelly at 604-298-0780 or dleclair@alzheimerbc. org or lkelly@alzheimerbc.org. The workshops are free, thanks to partial funding by the Province of B.C., Provincial Employees Community Services Fund, the Frank and Yvonne McCracken Foundation, the Lohn Foundation and the Djavad Mowafaghian Foundation. Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias affect approximately one of every 11 people aged 65 or older. For more information, visit www.alzheimerbc.org.

Just as baseball season was getting underway, rookie player Riley Reimer injured his ankle, and sadly, has been sidelined for spring camp. What’s more, the Coquitlam Little League Player had to be taken to Eagle Ridge Hospital to have a doctor look at his injury. Surprisingly, his mom, Nancy, wasn’t that upset. “It’s the only time he sat in emergency for something that was eightyear-old-boy related,” she says with relief. The Reimer family has been through some tough times and the baseball mishap a few weeks ago was the least of their worries. Riley has been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, Neuromyelitis optic or NMO, in which the body’s own immune system attacks the optic nerves and spinal chord. Two years ago, he was almost completely paralyzed from the neck down. According to his mom, Riley dropped a glass in the bedroom one morning, and couldn’t speak. He was drooling and could only smile on one side of his face. It looked like a stroke, it turned out to be NMO. “I can still remember the agony I felt as I watched the ambulance pull away with my son inside. And so it began — a journey that we could never have imagined and still to this day wonder how we made it through some of the early days,” she writes on a website she started to raise awareness of the disease. Now, after months of rehabilitation and treatment with prednizone, Riley is able to walk and run again. There is no cure but NMO attacks can be reduced with careful monitoring and appropriate treatment. “The thing with the disease like NMO, it’s basically Russian Roulette, it can hit at any time,” explained Nancy. It’s often confused with MS, but NMO attacks are more severe and require different treatments. Typically

Riley Reimer, an Eagle Ridge elementary student in Coquitlam, suffers from Neuromyelitis optic, a rare disorder in which in which a person’s own immune system attacks the optic nerves and spinal chord. His family is hosting a fundraiser and awareness walk Sunday, May 26 at 8:30 a.m. at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody. More information is available at www. nomorenmo.com women between the ages of 20 and 40 get the disease so Riley is a rare and special case. Luckily for the Reimer family, one of the world’s most prominent NMO researchers, neurologist Dr. Anthony Traboulsee, works out of the UBC Hospital. Nancy is also reaching out to other people with NMO and is organizing a fundraising walk to raise awareness and money for more research. “We just take life one day at a time, on the hard days it’s one moment at a time, that’s how we get through and that’s how we get to the good days,” Nancy says.

No more NMO “What would you do if one day your life was turned upside down? One night you lay your head down to sleep and wake up to a completely different world. There is panic, fear, questions, tears and finally after what seems like an eternity, a diagnosis. A diagnosis so rare, that most medical professionals will never come across it in their entire career. What if that diagnosis was not for you, but for your child?” — Nancy Reimer, mother of Riley Reimer, who has Neuromyelitis optic, chronicles her families’ story at www.nomorenmo.com.

How to Help

• Take part in the walk May 26 at Rocky Park, beginning at 8:30 a.m. • Donate to the guthyjacksonfoundation.org or Vancouver Coastal Health Research NMO Clinic and Research http://nmo.vchri.ca.

Arts hub to come to PoMo By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NeWs

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Riverside secondary students in the Port Coquitlam school’s multicultural leadership class will host a fashion show on Wednesday, May 22 featuring outfits from around the world as well as recycled materials. The event is part of the city’s 100th birthday celebrations.

A world of fashion at Riverside A

The Tri-CiTy NeWs

pageantry of traditional, modern and even recycled-material outfits will be displayed next week as students in Riverside secondary’s multicultural leadership class host a fashion show to tie in with Port Coquitlam’s 100th year. Costumes from China, Japan, Poland, the Ukraine, India, Iran and Korea, to name a few — countries from which immigrants who settled in PoCo over the past century hail — will be represented on the school’s red carpet. Among the 15 models will be Jane Seo who will don her mother’s magenta and plum hanbok, a gown she wore at her wedding. “It’s such an honour to have it on,” the 15-year-old girl said. “We are the same size and it fits perfectly.” McKenzie Beinder borrowed a Japanese school mate’s yukata — a casual summer garment — for the exhibit. Beinder has been fascinated with Japanese anime (animation) and manga (comics) for years and collects ethnic costumes for fun.

Being part of multicultural leadership “is great because I get to meet a lot of international people,” the 17-year-old said. “We get involved in a lot of activities and help them to integrate into Canadian culture.” Started four years ago by ESL teacher Catherine Yamamoto, multicultural leadership offers credits and volunteer hours to students who “make Riverside ESL and international students feel welcome and gain confidence at school and in the community,” noting many mentors come from diverse backgrounds and can speak other languages. The English as a Second Language students work with the multicultural leadership participants to organize annual events such as night markets, New Year’s Eve celebrations, spring festivals and sports fundraisers at the school. The May 22 multicultural fashion show — complete with dessert buffet by chef Ruy Gonzalez to follow — will be a first for the leadership students, who are also building awareness of and collecting cash for Japanese tsunami relief efforts. Catherine Yamamoto said one of her former students is studying robotic engineering near Tokyo and

his group has done reconstruction work using robots. With his help, Riverside plans to start a partnership with aYamamoto area school. Fashion show co-ordinator Thelka Wright said “trashion” will also be in the limelight at the fashion show including a piece by Mac Stewart, who won last month’s Garbage Fashion Show at Heritage Woods secondary. He cut up an old Chinese war film documentary to create a Japanese samurai costume for the annual School District 43 event. As well, clothing from Art Knapp’s will be in the show emceed by Jessica Gares, a Riverside alumnus and a producer of the Bill Good radio talk show on CKNW. • Tickets for the Multicultural Fashion Show on Wednesday, May 22 at 7 p.m. are $10 and can be bought at Riverside secondary (2215 Reeve St.); PoCo rec complex; Hyde Creek rec centre; and The Outlet at Leigh Square. Door prizes will be handed out. Call 604-941-6053 or email cyamamoto@sd43.bc.ca for more information.

About six years ago, while he was caring for his dying mother at Crossroads hospice in Port Moody, Gregory Elgstrand had somewhat of a revelation. The Centennial secondary graduate, who at the time was working in Toronto as an arts consultant, noticed Port Moody had branded itself the City of the Arts. Intrigued, Elgstrand returned home and started to research about Port Moody’s creative community and formulate a plan to open a cultural hub. Last year, he and his wife took a leap of faith and moved to Port Moody, with the dream of collecting enough funds to build a new public forum for the contemporary arts, called Bohart. Since then, Elgstrand has incorporated Bohart as a non-profit society with a board of directors. They include Corner Gas’ Fred Ewanuick; choreographer Cori C a u l f i e l d ; Jo n Tupper, the executive director of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria; and investment banker Christian Farstad. They meet quarterly to discuss the direction of Bohart — a name that pays tribute to Elgstrand’s mother’s family — and

Four years ago, Cause4Drama was the opening band for the inaugural Rock for a Cure that raised money for the Michael Cuccione Foundation, a Coquitlam-based charity that supports childhood cancer research. Now, Rocky Milino Jr. and his fellow musicians are using that platform to help another medical non-profit to build awareness and collect cash: On Saturday, Cause4Drama will launch its first Rock4Child to benefit the CH.I.L.D. Foundation, a group that researches Crohn’s Disease, ulcerative colitis and liver disorders. Milino said he became interested in the organization as his family is close friends with Grace McCarthy, the former B.C. MLA who is the foundation board of directors’ chair and whose grandchild has intestinal illnesses. Milino and his brother, Pat, started performing at CH.I.L.D. fundraisers about two years. Rocky Jr. suggested

to the charity to host a bigger draw for younger audiences and “they were all on board right away,”he said. Milino said he has plenty of backing from local bands for the concert that happens May 18 at the Rickshaw Theatre (254 E. Hastings St., Vancouver), with Jesus Krysler, Danny Echo and Sonic Outcast also playing. “It’s going to be a really great night with some hard rockers,” said Milino, an Archbishop Carney graduate. Meanwhile, also on Saturday night, Cause4Drama will release on iTunes its first single from its second CD. The title track is called One Kiss “and is a lot different from our last CD release — a little more pop/rock.” • Tickets for Rock4Child are $5 in advance at Gallagher’s Coffee Bar (232 Newport Dr., Port Moody) or through www.rock4child.com. Or buy them at the door for $10. A dollar from every ticket purchased will go to CH.I.L.D. jwarren@tricitynews.com

TC actors take a Journey through the Looking Glass By Monisha Caroline Martins Black Press

When Alice returns to Wonderland, her imaginary world is a little darker. “I think I like it better than Alice in Wonderland,” says Port Coquitlam’s Anna Pothecary, who like Alice, is on the cusp of adulthood. “She has to become queen and defeat this bad, Red Queen but all she wants to do is get back home.” Cast as the protagonist in a musical adaptation of Through the Looking Glass, 17-year-old Pothecary relates to young Alice’s journey. Adapted by Chris Blackwood, this version melds stories from the original Alice with its sequel to create a new tale, complete with a quest. Blackwood uses the idea of a young girl on the verge of becoming an adult to structure a new story from the episodic nightmare she is caught in.

CollEEN FlANAgAN/THE NEWS

Port Coquitlam’s Anna Pothecary plays Alice in Xtreme Theatre’s musical adaptation of Through The Looking Glass. Whilst keeping close to the characters that inhabit Lewis Carroll’s nonsense, Through The Looking Glass-the musical give them a differ-

ent purpose on Alice’s new journey. They become pieces in the game that she plays to become an adult, all representing something to be learnt on her rites of passage. Alice’s main adversary, the Red Queen,represents the childlike traits she is about to escape and the defeat of the Red Queen is the final task that allows Alice to move on. A little unsure at first, Pothecary admits she “kind of relate to Alice.” “I think some of her thought processes are a bit like mine. She’s kind of imaginative, like me,” she says with a shy smile, adding she’s definitely more mature than tantrum-prone Alice. Her brother Matt, who shares co-directing duties in this Xtreme Theatre production, crafted a back story to help her embody Alice on stage.“It’s a process of discovery with every character,”says Matt Pothecary. “It’s working with them to bring out their character and helping them to understand

who their character is, where they are coming from and what matters to them that helps them inform their choices on stage.” As the Tweedles, Katherina Holm, 14 and Mateo Pires, 17, have capitalized on their close friendship. “We feed off each other pretty well,” says Holm, a Mission resident who plays Tweedledee. In this version, the Tweedles are fraternal twins and lumberjacks, not overweight and pudgy. The directors chose lumberjacks to contrast of a tough exterior, with the Tweedles’ silly dialogue and silly actions. It makes for great comedy. For the cast of 45, who have been rehearsing since the beginning of the school year, the long hours and occasional stress have been worth it. • Through the Looking Glass plays at the ACT in Maple Ridge May 15 to May 17 at 7 p.m. and May 18 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Call 604476-2787 or visit actmapleridge.org. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Bohart has big plans for the City of the Arts

tailor future fundraising efforts. As part of its start-up, the society has launched Bohart 100, a strategy to get sponsors, donors, private and public funding agencies to contribute at least $100 to the Bohart foundation to become a “friend.” Benefits include invitations to exhibit openings, special events, discounts on ticketed programs and subscriptions to the Bohart magazine, of which the first edition is set to come out this fall. Already, Bohart has made its first step with film screenings at the Kyle Centre on the third Thursday of the month. And soon, Bohart will offer programming (exhibits, lectures, music recitals, etc.) on the first Thursday of the month. “We are well aware that this is a long-term venture,” Elgstrand said during an interview at the Kyle Centre on Monday, “but I think it will be well worth the wait.” Elgstrand said he’s struggling to find a suitable — and affordable — location for Bohart; real estate prices have skyrocketed in Moody Centre since construction began this year on the Evergreen Line. But he feels the City of the Arts will embrace the centre that will be similar in style to Winnipeg’s Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art G a l l e r y, To r o n t o ’ s T h e Po w e r P l a n t Contemporary Art Gallery or the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, England, with curated displays, performances and film screenings from local, regional, national and international artists. “It just seems like the right time and right place to do this,”Elstrand said. • The next Bohart program will be a screening at the Kyle Centre (125 Kyle St.) on Thursday featuring Un Homme Qui Dort (The Man Who Sleeps), at 7:30 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Tyler Garrison hams it up in front of a supportive crowd during a recent game in Everett, Washington where his team, the Washington Stealth usually plays. But the Coquitlam native played before a hometown audience at the Langley Event Centre last Saturday because of a scheduling conflict at the team’s home venue. Garrison also returns to the Jr. Coquitlam Adanacs this season, and is looking for a shot at the Minto Cup, which will be played this year in New Westminster.

Local lacrosse players thrill at home By Maria Spitale-Leisk The Tri-CiTy News

A scheduling anomaly afforded friends and family of four Tri-City National Lacrosse League players the rare opportunity to watch them play in a championship match at the Langley Events Centre last Saturday night. Coquitlam natives Tyler Garrison, Matt Beers and Justin Salt, along with Port Moody’s Anthan Iannucci, play for the NLL’s Washington Stealth. With the team’s home venue in Everett al-

ready occupied, their league championship game against the Rochester Knighthawks was moved north of the border to Langley. “It was nice to have a 15-minute commute for everyone,” Garrison, a defenseman, told The Tri-City News. On Saturday, the Stealth made their second title game appearance in four years. Recapping the first half of the game, which was controlled by Rochester, Garrison said there was too much individual focus on the part of the Stealth players.

“Not from a selfish standpoint,” Garrison clarified. “Just everyone wanting to do the best for each other. Everyone was fired up about that game.” The Stealth’s defense kicked in by the third frame, with the team only allowing one goal in 30 minutes. Meanwhile, a spate of Stealth goals, including Garrison’s second of the night, put the game within one point. “We had 10 minutes to get that one goal,” recounted Garrison. “There were some bad bounces.We just couldn’t find it.”

In the 11-10 loss, Iannucci racked up a goal and two assists, while Richards made 38 saves in net. Speaking from his home in Coquitlam on Monday, Garrison reflected on his rookie season with the Stealth. “There is some pretty elite company that I jumped into this year,” he said. “The guys on the team have been so good to me.”

Coquitlam soccer star Brittany Timko has been awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal for her “significant” contribution to the advancement of the Olympic movement in Canada. Timko, the second youngest person named to the Canadian National Women’s Soccer Team, played her first game at 16 years old in 2002. She has since represented Canada 100 times on the soccer pitch. The former Coquitlam Metro Ford Motors soccer player and current coach has participated in three Women’s World C u p s a n d t wo Olympics — winning bronze with her teammates last summer in London, England. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Centaurs off to rugby finals

NO COMPARISON NO COMPROMISE

The Tri-CiTy News

Centennial secondary’s senior boys’ rugby team has been a force to reckon with this season. The undefeated Centaurs bested Terry Fox 21–19 for the School District 43 rugby championship April 25. Centennial opened the scoring — and the lead went back and forth six times before Centaurs’ captain Jari Hyvarinen sealed the win in the last two minutes of the game. “The game against Terry Fox was a very emotional one due to the intense sports rivalry between the two schools,” said Centennial coach Jim Tonks.

The biggest piece of advice Garrison has received is to learn how to develop a strong mental focus. It appears to have paid off, as Garrison averaged a point a game this year. While the Stealth’s loss has left a bad taste in his mouth, Garrison is pressing on, returning to fulfill his captain duties with the Jr. Coquitlam Adanacs la-

Centennial senior boys’ rugby team hoists captain Jari Hyvarinen after he scored the winning try against Terry Fox to win the School District 43 rugby championship April 25. The team heads to the Fraser Valley AAA Senior Boys Tier II Championship tomorrow. rebuilding period. It’s been a valuable training ground for the core group who have played against older and more experienced teams. There has also been a renewed rugby interest from Centennial athletes, notably football stars Justin Buren and Nathan Lund. “I believe the rivalry between the two football teams [Terry Fox and Centennial] was the mo-

tivation for Justin Buren and Nathan Lund to play rugby at Centennial for the first time,” said Tonks. “It gave them another opportunity to go against a number of football players at [Terry] Fox who are also playing rugby this season.” Going into Thursday’s game, both Centennial and Seaquam are undefeated for the season. Tonks is cautiously

optimistic about the Centaurs chances. “The team is feeling great about being in the final,” said Tonks. “We have some great individual talent offensively and our team is very solid defensively. We know Seaquam will be a tough opponent since they beat [Terry] Fox, who was the toughest team we have faced the entire regular and playoff season.”

crosse team. He will be in action with the team tonight (May 15) when they take on Delta at home. Garrison has a positive outlook for the season, despite the Jr. Adanacs losing a lot of players at end of last year. “We have a lot of guys coming up,” said Garrison. “We should do alright this year.” Garrison has a long history with lacrosse in

Coquitlam. He started playing the sport when he was three years old. “From then on, it’s just been lacrosse, lacrosse, lacrosse,”he said. Garrison dabbled in hockey, calling it more of a pastime until lacrosse season started again. “It’s kind of the way it is in Coquitlam,” he figures. Garrison has competed for Team BC as a PeeWee, Bantam and Midget player. Last year,

at 20 years old, Garrison declared early for the NLL draft and was chosen 11th overall. His eyes are now set on another lacrosse prize: the 2013 M i n t o C u p, w h i c h will be played in New Westminster this year in August. “We’ve been in [the Minto Cup] the last four years,” said Garrison. “Hopefully we can make it a fifth.” sports@tricitynews.com
