Down or up? PoCo taxes could drop in 2014 but residents may choose otherwise By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Coquitlam residents are being offered a choice between a tax decrease or having a redeveloped recreation complex. That was the message during Monday night’s city council meeting, where staff presented a draft financial plan that called for a 0.34% property tax decrease — a drop of approximately $6.71 per household. But if PoCo taxpayers
want a new recreation facility and seniors centre, that decrease would turn into an increase of 1% to 1.5% — a hike of about $25 per household. “We want the residents to help us make the decision,” said PoCo Mayor Greg Moore. “Is there room now to do it or later on when we know what is going into it and the project is more tangible?” Moore added that council and the city will be engaging with the public through the end of January to see if there is an immediate demand for redeveloping the rec complex, which is nearing the end of its lifespan. see SAVINGS, page 6
Lack of control of SD43 finances Audit says SD43 leaders need a financial education By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A POWER-FUL MESSAGE
DAN EBENAL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Grade 5 student Carmen Cariglino and Grade 1 student Isaiah Johnston were among the Mary Hill elementary students to help BC Lions slotback Shawn Gore provide energy-saving tips from Fortis to their classmates during a visit Tuesday by Gore and teammate Jason Arakgi to the Port Coquitlam school.
A forensic audit of School District 43’s finances is recommending tighter financial controls — including the establishment of a finance committee and training for trustees and staff — to prevent the errors that led to the district to post an $8-million operating deficit last year. The long-awaited audit also recommends SD43 establish more stringent financial reporting, such as monthly forecasts, and establish a contingency
to cover unplanned expenses. Tuesday, the board was expected to approve all 14 recommendations by KPMG, which spent months analyzing the district’s financial situation, interviewing staff and reviewing memos and minutes at the request of CUPE and the Coquitlam Teachers’Association. Although it found no criminal activity or deliberate misconduct by current or former employees, KPMG suggests the district’s leadership team has been lacking in financial prudence, owing in part to a culture where education outcomes are more important than the bottom line. see SD43 LEADERS, page 12

Rapid bus as Evergreen link: Moore Mayor wants route on Lougheed to Pitt and Ridge, too
IN QUOTES
“They can hold the same capacity as light rail and, if done right, they often have a higher capacity. You can get the same quality of service for a much cheaper rate.”
By Gary McKenna The TRi-CiTy News
Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore is calling on TransLink to build a Rapid bus line down the Lougheed Highway corridor that he says would be a cheaper and more efficient way of connecting commuters from his city and beyond. The route would operate similar to a light-rail transit (LRT) line, with special station platforms and a dedicated lane connecting PoCo, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. “They can hold the same capacity as light rail and, if done right, they often have a higher capacity,” he said. “You can get the same quality of service for a much

A TransLink illustration shows a dedicated rapid bus travelling over the Port Mann Bridge, linking Langley to Burnaby and New Westminster. cheaper rate.” Moore envisions a system that has fewer stops than a regular bus line but runs on a more frequent basis. He believes there are enough commuters along the stretch of road to merit a bus every two to three min-
utes during peak hours and every five to six minutes during non-peak hours. Because the Rapid bus would have its own lane, it would move quickly through the community, unlike B-Line services, which can get bogged
down in traffic. The system would also be cheaper than LRT because it does not require the construction of tracks and the movement of utilities that run underneath the road. “When you put in a rail service, you have
to move all of the infrastructure underneath it: water pipes, sewer pipes,” he said.“With a rapid bus service, you can leave that infrastructure in place. [If there is a problem], the bus is able to detour around it.” The next step is getting TransLink on board and assessing the feasibility of the project. Moore has been in discussions with Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin and Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters since December and said the three cities want to share the cost of
a study with the region’s transportation authority. The three mayors represent cities with some of the longest commute times in Metro Vancouver. According to 2011 census numbers, Port Coquitlam residents spend an average of 33 minutes behind the wheel during their commute while Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows commuters spend about 35 minutes. The average commute time in Metro Vancouver is 28 minutes, according to the National Household StatsCan survey.
With construction commencing on the Evergreen Line, which is expected to be completed in 2016, Moore said TransLink should be looking at ways to improve connections to the rapid transit system. TransLink’s 30-year Regional Transportation Strategy does call for a rapid bus on Lougheed Highway operating between the three communities. Part of the challenge will be finding enough room for a Rapid bus lane, which can have either its own lane or traffic signal priority in a space shared with cars. Moore also noted that the Pitt River Bridge was built with extra capacity to hold rapid transit in the future. TransLink did not respond to requests for comment by The Tri-City News’ deadline. gmckenna@tricitynews.com – files from Monisha Martins
‘No not an option’ for transit referendum: Price A ‘No’ vote will mean a reduction in service: Price
IN QUOTES
“Who is going to go to a meeting and say, ‘We need to tax ourselves in the millions, billions for TransLink’?”
By Chris Bryan
Gordon Price, on the TransLink referendum
BLACk PRess
“No is not an option.” That was the message Gordon Price is hoping a “coalition of unusual bedfellows” will help spread throughout Metro Vancouver before a referendum on transit funding is held in the fall. Price, director of the City Program at Simon Fraser University, was speaking last Thursday evening before a crowd of about 120 people that included local politicians, union organizers and bus drivers at the Unifor Local 111 office in New Westminster. The meeting was intended to drum up awareness about the referendum, slated for Nov. 15 — to coincide with
the municipal election vote — which Premier Christy Clark promised during last year’s provincial election. The issue of new funding sources for transit in the region has been hotly contested for years without any resolution, with local politicians exploring options ranging from an annual vehicle levy to a share of the provincial carbon tax, tolls or even a small regional sales tax. It’s unclear at this point, however, what exactly will be on the refer-
endum ballot as neither Clark nor Transportation Minister Todd Stone have indicated what voters will be asked. “We are now 308 days away from having a vote for, well, what?” Price said. In interviews, Premier Clark has said she would like to see voters given a multiple-choice ballot to see how much transit people would be willing to pay for, or whether people want to put the brakes on all expansion. Price worries that if voters reject new funding, it could equal an actual reduction in transit as gas tax revenues decline and other costs
continue to grow. He and Metro Vancouver mayors believes there’s a good chance the referendum will fail as people are likely to reject any new tax, and various cities’ priorities — such as Surrey’s call for a new rapid transit line or Vancouver’s pitch for a Broadway SkyTrain extension — could get pitted against one another. Price also said the launch of TransLink’s Compass card system in the coming months will inevitably spark widespread frustration among transit users forced to change their habits, and people could vent frustration at the
ballot box. That would be a huge setback, says the former Vancouver city councillor who also served as a director on TransLink. Metro Vancouver’s transit system is admired world over, Price said, and TransLink’s model, which combines strategic planning and operations in a single entity, works incredibly well. “People come here and say, ‘If only we had something like it,’”Price said. “This is one of the best places on earth… not just in the bumpersticker sense… but in [former B.C. premier and Vancouver mayor] Mike Harcourt’s words it’s a place that does it right. “You can’t imagine how stunned I am that we might throw that all away, that we might put it all at risk in mere months.” Price also talked strategy last Thursday night, and suggested those
wanting to campaign in favour of new funding should form a “coalition of unusual bedfellows” that crosses political lines and includes everyone from labour and business groups to environmentalists. And they should have a good message and seek a charismatic leader, he added. “Jimmy Pattison doing anything these days?” he quipped. And to get broad support, the funding question should be linked to projects that would benefit every part of the region, and propose a tax that is reasonable. Finally, “transit champions” of all stripes would be needed to rally for the cause, he said. But that last point, he conceded, would be tough, particularly in an election year. “Who amongst us is going to defend [more spending]? Who is going
to go to a meeting and say, ‘We need to tax ourselves in the millions, billions for TransLink’?” Jim Sinclair, president of the B.C. Federation of Labour, agreed, saying, “It is unthinkable that a modern city would not have a modern transit system. “If we just talk about money, we’re losers. What we need is a vision.” When asked by a member of the audience whether he would support a new SkyTrain line over the province’s proposed Massey Bridge to replace the tunnel between Delta and Richmond, Price said the region needs both because it’s expected to grow by a million people over the next 30 years. The region’s plans are dependent upon more transit, he said. “You just don’t get to say no… it just doesn’t add up,”Price said.

An investigator checks out two of the three rail cars that tipped over Saturday on the CN tracks just west of Cariboo Road in Burnaby, spilling their load of metallurgical coal into nearby Silver Creek. Seven cars were involved in the derailment.
Rail questions in PoCo By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
The city of Port Coquitlam and the public need more information about the types of chemicals and material being moved through the Canadian Pacific Railway yard, according to Coun. Glenn Pollock. Given the recent spate of high-profile derailments — including one in Burnaby on Saturday — Pollock told The Tri-City News that he has some public safety concerns. “They are self-regulating to a large degree,” he said. “There have been so many derailments lately that I just think we need to know exactly what is there.” Given the age of the railway infrastructure, Pollock also had questions about CP’s main-
tenance practices. He pointed to a train derailment in New Brunswick last week that was being blamed on cracked wheel or axle that caused the evacuation of 150 people. PoCo Fire Chief Nick Delmonico said the department’s relationship with CP has been improving over the last year and a half. Firefighters have been brought up to speed with the rail yard’s safety protocols and said a mock disaster drill was conducted last month. There are also plans this year to conduct a drill on the CP property, he added. The department does receive some information about the types of substances moving through the rail yard. Delmonico said liquid petroleum products are common and the most concern-
ing from a firefighting perspective. “Anything hugely flammable is obviously a concern,”he said. But changes to federal legislation that were recently passed in Ottawa could mean that the fire department is updated on a routine basis about the types of chemicals being shipped through the yard. Delmonico said the department is still going over the legislation and will be presenting some of the findings to council next week. Saturday, seven train cars came off the tracks on the south side of the rail bed west of Cariboo Road in Burnaby. Three of the cars dumped their load of coal, with some of the material spilling into Silver Creek, which feeds into Burnaby Lake. Officials from the environment ministry and
Burnaby’s Environmental Health department, as well as CN’s own environmental crews, responded to the scene to assess the damage to the protected fish-bearing stream. CN blamed the incident on heavy rainfall that caused a beaver dam to be washed away, affecting the integrity of the rail bed beneath the track. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the incident could have been a lot worse. “Imagine if it was some other substance,” he said. “They’re carrying substances that are toxic, they’re carrying substances that are dangerous. We don’t even know if these kinds of substances are moving through our city.”
A Port Moody mom delivered a baby boy at home early Tuesday with lots of help from firefighters — and even her own husband. The local smokeeaters got a call at 3:57 a.m. and arrived to find the mom fully dilated and on the floor of her bathroom. “They could see the child’s head and, within five minutes, she produced a baby boy,” Port Moody Fire Chief Remo Faedo said yesterday. The woman’s husband, a paramedic, also assisted in the birth of his son. “We were able to provide him with the equipment and the assistance to help him deliver the baby,” Faedo said. It’s not unusual to get a call to assist in a birth, Faedo said, but the veteran firefighters were happy to trumpet the news on Twitter later that morning.

Multi-city biz licences not as popular as hoped By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

the reduction in taxes has to come from the community,” Penner said. “The community [needs to] recognize that we might not be able to do things this year and next year because there isn’t the money.” But while the city has managed to reduce its costs, taxpayers will still see a slight increase in utility rates this year. The sewer and solid waste levy will remain the same as 2013 but a 2.3% increase in the water levy is expected. Most of the increase is attributed to flow-through costs from Metro Vancouver that are beyond the control of the municipality.

O n M o n d ay, c i t y council granted a development permit to RainCity Housing for the four-storey facility at 3030 Gordon Ave., off Westwood Street.

As part of the development permit bid, RainCity will also be required to sign a “good neighbour agreement� with the municipality to look after the building, monitor clients’ conduct, meet regularly with city officials and police, and have a 24-hour hotline.

Th e o w n e r o f a Coquitlam industrial site has ordered her tenants to stop growing medical marijuana. On Monday, council unanimously turned down Melanie Balletta’s request for a temporary use permit at 970 Adair Ave. as the Maillardville property isn’t in the city’s special M3 zone to grow pot. Balletta, who has owned the land since 2002, told The Tri-City News Tuesday she leased the space to the designated growers in 2012, five months before council adopted the special M3 zone for growers. City officials have been in discussion with Balletta about the nonconforming use for about a year and suggested she apply for the permit, which would expire March 31 when federal rules for growers change. At Monday’s councilin-committee, the tenants’ lawyer John Conroy — an Abbotsford lawyer involved in a national

class-action suit against Health Canada that is seeking to have changes to the new medical marijuana laws declared unconstitutional — said the grow op meets electrical standards and is safe. He also said his clients have tried to find space in the M3 zone to grow for their four patients but nothing is available. The city has five properties in the special M3 zone, all away from residences. Conroy told councilin-committee the growers were wrong for not taking out a city business licence and they are prepared to pay any municipal fines. Conroy also said the growers want to avoid litigation. On Monday night, council made no comment as it denied the permit application. A city spokesperson said the site will be checked later this week for compliance. “If our inspectors find the property to still be used contrary to any city bylaws, then tickets may be issued,�she wrote in an email to The TriCity News. Balletta said she’s now looking for new tenants who will fit the M1 zone.

Drilling in PoMo, Coq. construction Evergreen Line work may cause some disruption Evergreen Line construction in Port Moody next to the railway tracks along Clarke Street is expected to ramp up in the coming days. Crews will be using a large drill to auger into soft soils and break up the ground before mixing in cement in the area between Moody and Queens streets. According to a construction bulletin from contractor EGRT Construction, this method means that noisy pile driving will not be taking place in the immediate vicinity of Clarke Street. Work will take place Monday to Saturday between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. for the next three months, although some nighttime work may be required. Noise related
Coquitlam Street is renamed for former city staffer “Devoted, gregarious, kind, respectful, quickwitted.” Those were the traits of the late Trevor Wingrove, who this week was honoured with his name on a Coquitlam street sign. On M o n d ay, Wingrove’s widow Libby and daughter Meghan (a Grade 11 student at Dr. Charles Best secondary school) as well as his parents, Les and JoAnne, were in council chambers where the recognition was announced. Wingrove was the city’s general manager of corporate planning when he died three years ago, at the age of 42, of cancer. Locally, the Centennial secondary grad is best known for his prowess playing with the Coquitlam junior and senior Adanacs lacrosse teams. Last Friday, city crews replaced Park Entry Way, leading from Pinetree Way into Coquitlam Town Centre Park, with the Trevor Wingrove Way street sign. Under city policy, a person cannot have their name on a sign or facility until at least two years have passed from their retirement or death. jwarren@tricitynews.com

UNITED WORK
Traffic pattern changes along United Boulevard are expected starting this month as crews continue their work on the Port Mann/ Highway 1 construction project. Starting mid-January and continuing until mid-February, detours will be required between Burbidge and Schooner streets. The majority of the work is expected to take place at night but some work may be required during the day to take advantage of good weather. One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction at all times and work will occur in off-peak hours to minimize any traffic disruptions. Detour routes will be well-signed and traffic control personnel will be on-site. Drivers are reminded to use caution at all times and to watch out for crews and equipment.

hanges to Port Moody’s official community plan have created some sharp divisions in the community — and around the council table. While some look to embrace the changes that are destined to come with the arrival of the Evergreen Line in 2016, others seem to want to cling to the past no matter the cost. Population estimates for the city in the years ahead have sparked a minor uproar in some segments of the community and a significant portion of last week’s committee debate on the OCP centred on the 59,000 population estimate for 2041. The estimate was determined through calculations made by staff from the changes to population density that would accompany the shift in zoning and height restrictions included in the OCP. Council eventually opted to change that figure to 50,000. But that decision to randomly change the number to something it finds more palatable is little more than window dressing to hide from the inevitable shift taking place outside their door. No matter how much they may want to, Port Moody residents (and councillors) cannot fight change and they can’t defy geography. Port Moody is not some backwater small town, it is a vital and vibrant piece of a major metropolis. And as a result, people want to live there. Port Moody residents don’t have the luxury to pull up the ladder behind them and tell potential newcomers to look somewhere else. With the arrival of rapid transit will come highrise towers and high-density housing — they’ve already arrived in some areas. Council and the community would be well served by planning for more such development through the creation of a vision for the community instead of simply wishing it away. With good planning, highrises don’t have to mean the end of the charm that makes Port Moody such a desirable place to live. In fact, it’s that charm that is drawing people to the community and making highrise living a necessity — and it’s that density (read: customers) that will make small local businesses viable. The time has come for Port Moody to grow up. In some places, way up.
Harper is rapped for the wrong reasons in B.C. BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA rime Minister Stephen Harper’s latest visit to B.C. was portrayed as these things are today: besieged by protesters, hiding from an evervigilant media, cynically campaigning for the 2015 federal election. TV couldn’t get enough of the two“environmental activists”who dressed as waiters to slip on stage at a business breakfast in Vancouver. They’re not environmentalists, just all-purpose protesters using the flavour of the month. They are associated with a group calling itself “No One Is Illegal,”a collection of anarchist kooks that wants to do away with national borders and, of course, capitalism. As their now-famous sign said, they want “climate justice now.” Organizer Brigette DePape explained to a co-operative CBC TV host that the recent typhoon in the Philippines that killed thousands of people was caused

by global warming, which of course is caused mainly by the Alberta“tar sands.” I won’t dwell on this routine idiocy, except to say the number of hurricanes that struck North America in 2013 was zero and that hasn’t happened since 1994. Also,“climate justice”is like“social justice”in that both require confiscation of earned wealth. DePape is the former Senate page fired in 2011 for a similar sign stunt. She’s now a professional Harper hater, with support from the U.S.-based Tides Foundation, among others. One of the issues Harper didn’t take questions on was the consolidation of 11 federal fisheries libraries into two, one of them in Sidney. This is portrayed as part of Harper’s so-called“war on science,”and has been compared with the Romans burning the library of Alexandria in ancient Egypt. Fisheries Minister Gail Shea defended the cost-cutting measure by pointing out that almost all access to these libraries is now digital, so maintaining 11 duplicated sets of printed reports is a waste of taxpayer dollars. An anonymous federal scientist fired back

Hunter & laura say ‘thanks’ The Editor, Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can’t thank you enough for your support, thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity. The theft of my dog Hunter’s stroller one week before Christmas was a huge shock. Hunter riding in his red buggy is a common sight in our neighbourhood as I make the rounds on my dog walking service. The stroller enables him to join many of the outings throughout the day. He walks with his buddies for a block or two, then, when his arthritis makes walking too painful, he climbs into his buggy and rolls along with the pack. When I discovered Hunter’s stroller was stolen, I was angry and hurt that someone could be so callous to take a device that was obviously used to aid a handicapped pet. Where was the goodwill, the essence of the Christmas spirit? I sent emails to clients, neighbours and friends asking them to keep a look out for it. I also posted a few flyers in the condominium buildings located around Gates Park. The response was overwhelming. I immediately started receiving emails, phone calls and texts from people who were outraged over the theft. People were driving and walking through the neighbourhood actively looking for Hunter’s buggy. A good friend suggested I report the theft to the Coquitlam RCMP. Their crime analyst sent a fan-out to every member of the detachment and made sure they had photos of the buggy. Cpl. Jamie Chung posted a story and photo to their website and put me in touch with a reporter from The Tri-City News. Within days I saw articles of the theft reported in various media. A few days after the theft, a neighbour generously offered the use of his child’s brand new bike/trailer stroller “for as long as needed.” The moment Hunter saw the stroller he walked over, sniffed it and then looked at me as if to say “What are you waiting for? Let’s roll.” Friends and strangers contacted me offering to purchase a new stroller for Hunter or to offer donations towards a new one. While walking dogs throughout PoCo, people were constantly coming up to me and expressing their indignation over the theft of Hunter’s stroller. On Dec. 23, there was a knock on my front door. Const. Graham was stand-

He had spotted a man towing a trailer on his bike and tried to stop him to talk. After a brief chase down the railway tracks the man got away but the constable was able to recover the trailer, which turned out to be Hunter’s chariot. The front carriage and
tire of the stroller were missing, it had been spray-painted gold and it definitely wasn’t like it was but I thought I might be able to purchase some parts and clean it up so it would be usable again. The next day, I was walking to Gates Park to meet a friend when I noticed a group of peo-
ple. As I drew closer, I recognized many of my neighbours, clients and friends, and, although slightly confused by the sight of them gathered in the middle of the afternoon, I thought how nice it would be to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. And then I saw my dog walking friend approaching from the opposite direction pushing a stroller with a helium balloon attached to it. I was gobsmacked, completely taken by surprise. It is impossible to describe the overwhelming range of emotions I experienced when I was presented a brand new stroller for Hunter. I was overcome with feelings of wonder, amazement and gratitude. The theft of Hunter’s stroller was upsetting but the response to this theft from people within PoCo and beyond was unbelievably and remarkably awesome. I live in a community filled with wonderful people and this is a precious gift for which I am very grateful. Laura Smith and Hunter

A case of TB at Carney Staff and students of Archbishop Carney regional secondary school in Port Coquitlam have been informed about a case of tuberculosis in the school community. But they’ve been told the risk is low and only those who are in close contact with the TB patient are being be tested for the respiratory disease. Fraser Health medical officer Michelle Murti said a health alert was sent to the Catholic school this week to let families know that a case of TB was detected and is being followed up on. “If you have not been contacted by public health, no further action is needed at this time,” Murti said, adding that the TB patient is not currently in the school community. TB is an infectious respiratory disease that can be detected with a skin test and Fraser Health records between 100 to 150 cases a year. Symptoms include fever, night sweats, coughing, sneezing and weight loss. “It’s actually not easy to spread, t h at ’ s why we aren’t concerned about the school community,” Murti said. She said the school was contacted as part of the protocol for handling the disease. L o r r a i n e Paruzzolo, principal of the school, said information from Fraser Health is being passed on to the school community. “Whatever we know we’ve sent out to the parents… [Fraser Health] are following all their protocols and ensuring we will follow ours.” dstrandberg @tricitynews.com
Arrests in phone robbery may be linked to others By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
Three males have been arrested following a cellphone robbery last week and Port Moody Police believe the suspects may have been involved in similar incidents in other parts of the Tri-Cities. The trio are facing charges of robbery and wearing a disguise while committing an indictable offence when they allegedly wore balaclavas while robbing two people of their cellphones last Thursday. Bear spray and a crow bar were brandished during the commission of the theft and an extendable baton was recovered following their arrest Sunday, Insp.

RCMP to assist in their investigations. In the middle of D e c e m b e r, l o c a l Mounties announced they were searching for three suspects after a spate of cellphone robberies in Coquitlam. RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung told The Tri-City News at the time there had been four robberies since the beginning of December and descriptions of the suspects in each case were similar. “The suspects usually approach a victim and ask for the time,” Chung said. “When the victim takes out his smartphone to check the time, the suspects allegedly produce a weapon and rob him of his phone.” The first incident
occurred on Plateau Boulevard at Whitepark Place and the second occurred along Walton Avenue. A third robbery occurred north of the City Centre Aquatic Complex and the most recent theft took place at the basketball courts at Town Centre Park. All of the suspects are described as males between 5’7” and 5’8” tall with slim builds; one is believed to be of Middle Eastern decent while a second suspect is black and the third is Caucasian. In most of the cases, a weapon was brandished and the victims were mostly young Asian or Middle Eastern teenagers, Chung said.

SD43 leaders knew of deficit in June 2012

New year! New opportunities! Time to explore a new option for your child?

For example, the budget passed last spring contained significant risks and uncertainties, and district officials weren’t in agreement over whether the financial expectations would even be met. Still, there was no contingency set aside, and when problems started to arise, there was no consensus between superintendent Tom Grant, thensecretary treasurer Rick Humphreys and the four assistant superintendents about the seriousness of the problem. While uncovering the various factors that led to the deficit, KPMG learned that while members of the district leadership team (DLT) knew as early as June 2012 of a deficit problem, the information wasn’t relayed to trustees until much later. On Sept. 25, 2012, the projected deficit was $4.4 million but trustees only learned of the situation on Nov. 20, when they were told a $9.1-million deficit was projected, according to the report. The public wasn’t informed of the situation until February 2013, when a $4.9-million sav-

SD43 superintendent Tom Grant and board of education chair Melissa Hyndes at a budget meeting last year. ings plan was announced. “We were told that some DLT members had a lack of confidence in the reliability of the deficit information from Finance and this factor added to the delay in reporting and responding to the developing deficit,” the audit states. Other problems included staff turnover leading to a knowledge gap prior to the 2013 budget, lack of control and monitoring of unbudgeted positions, and historical accounting errors that, when caught, weren’t factored into spending. Consequently, staffing costs exceeded the budget by $3.8 million, $1 million more was spent in substitute teaching costs than was fore-
casted, revenue projections for international education revenue were overly optimistic, and there were higher than expected benefit costs. As well, enrolment was lower than forecasted. Today, the district continues to feel the effect of last year’s spending problems because that deficit still has to be paid back in future years. As well, the district had to make $12.1 million in cuts to this year’s operating budget. Mark Ferrari, the secretary treasurer who replaced Humphreys, who resigned in 2012, said an update on the district’s current financial situation will be made public at the Feb. 11 board meeting.

Artist Todd Polich, the founder of the Earth Foundation, will be painting a large mural on the east wall of Birchland elementary school with community and student support. To get involved, attend a forum at the Port Coquitlam school on Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 6:30 p.m.
Birchland community invited to help with big school mural The aim is to get neighbours to look out for school By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS
A huge mural is planned for the east wall of Birchland elementary school and the community is invited to help design it. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Port Coquitlam school, artist Todd Polich will be painting the mural with the help of students and community members.
Polich is the founder of the Earth Foundation, an organization that connects people to the environment through largescale public art. Three community forums are planned and the first one will be held Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 6:30 p.m. in the Birchland gym so people can help design the mural images. The theme will be “living in harmony with nature,” Polich said, and community members will be asked to consider how they interact with the environment. Birchland principal Frank Pearse said the
project has been several years in the making and it grew out of concerns about vandalism. The school is in a high-traffic area and occasionally has windows broken or gets tagged with graffiti, although vandalism has dropped in recent months. This project is aimed at encouraging the community to take ownership of and protect the school because their ideas have been incorporated into the mural. Students will help paint the mural with the leadership and support of students at Minnekhada middle and
Terry Fox secondary. “We want to get everyone involved,” said Pearse, whose school has raised $10,000 from various organizations for the sixmonth project. In addition to the Jan. 22 meeting, a second forum is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 28. Members of the business community are also invited to participate by contributing donations of time, goods or services. • For more information or to help, email Pearse at fpearse@sd43. bc.ca dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Dancer lobbies for public studios at Moody middle By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NeWs
A Tri-City middle school that will have an arts focus starting in September will unveil its early plans with the public tonight. But a well-regarded choreographer hopes the new School of the Arts at Moody middle will include a strong dance component for the students as well as at least three dance studios the community can use. Cori Caulfield, principal of the Caulfield School of Dance on Spring Street in Port Moody, which serves about 250 families, said she’ll be at Wednesday’s open house to lobby for more public dance opportunities in the “City of the Arts.” She’s requesting School District 43 team up with the city to find more space for dance — an art form that is booming but continues to be under-served. Besides the lack of dance training facilities in the Tri-Cities, Caulfield said performing venues are also hard to come by. And when theatres are attached to schools, such as at Heritage Woods or Terry Fox secondaries, it’s tough to find open time. “That’s not acceptable. It’s not really set up for the community,”she said. Caulfield said dance tends to get the short end of the stick when the arts are programmed. Rather, visual arts and theatre are the first in line. For example, the Tri-Cities has only one dance studio (at Place des Arts) that isn’t privately owned and operated. Caulfield believes if the region had a public centre with three or four dance studios, they would be running at 100%

Stars align for Tri-City theatre club By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NeWs
When Stage 43 put on Dearly Departed last fall, board members of the Coquitlam theatre group hoped the title of the play wasn’t a premonition for their society. At the time, Stage 43 was in dire financial trouble and the thought of shutting its operations after more than 30 years
was top of mind. Problems started in 2007 when the award-winning live theatre club was told by the provincial government it wouldn’t receive any more gaming handouts. The reason? Stage 43 had too much money in the bank. Through ticket sales and other means, the company had tucked away around $70,000 to build its own community the-
atre facility in Coquitlam as it didn’t want to lease out space anymore to rehearse or to store sets and costumes. With the province’s “use it or lose it” line, Stage 43 moved its business from the Riverview Hospital grounds and signed a five-year lease — right at the height of the real estate market — for a warehouse on Aberdeen Avenue, near Rona. In 2012, seeing a loss of about
$15,000 a year, Stage 43 asked the city to intervene by supplying a performing arts centre that could be shared with other arts groups in the Tri-Cities. City staff turned down the request and suggested Stage 43 use a multi-purpose room in a local community centre; however, with the size of its sets, that wasn’t a viable option. see A SmAlleR, page 22

Cori Caulfield said public dance space is needed in the Tri-Cities. capacity right away — and at all times, for all age groups and levels. Tr e v o r Ko l k e a , Moody middle’s vice principal who will become the new principal in September, said dance is only one element at the School of the Arts. Students will also be immersed in drama, digital arts, media arts, visual arts, music and technical arts — all of which will be integrated into the core learning. H e h a s s p o ke n with Caulfield as well as with the city and the Port Moody Arts Centre about future plans for the School of the Arts. Partnerships will be formed for the Neighbourhood Learning Centre, which will be in the second phase of the school’s development in 2015. Kolkea said Moody — of which most of its 730-student population will move to the new Eagle Mountain middle later this year — is already rich in the arts, with more than 80 students currently studying band and 100plus students involved in the spring musical each year. • The open house for Moody middle will run tonight from 6 to 8 p.m.

Karate coach has art chops By Janis Warren

The Tri-CiTy NeWs
imberly Blackstock likes when kids exercise their bodies — and minds. A third-degree black belt in karate, the Port Moody resident has taught the martial art to children for the city of Burnaby for years. And, being a design and illustration grad from Capilano University, Blackstock
has also lent her creative skills for after-school art programs at Seaview and Miller Park elementaries in the Tri-Cities. So, last summer, when a call from the Port Moody Arts Centre (PMAC) came at the last minute to lead a few arts courses for young people, Blackstock jumped at the chance. This winter, while also continuing to coach karate in
Burnaby, Blackstock will be instructing several dozen kids in art at PMAC and, in between dropping and collecting her own kids from school, she’ll be painting in her basement studio during the day — a regular practice she’s maintained for the past 18 months after quitting a graphic designer job for GardenWorks. “My life is kind of all over the place,” she said with a laugh, when asked about her hectic

Figurative group ‘rebels’ against modern art By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy NewS
An artist collective aimed at keeping the subject of the human form alive as a muse will launch its Phantoms exhibit in Port Coquitlam tomorrow. Show organizer Jonathan Sutton — one of six artists with the Vancouver-based group
Phantoms in the Front Yard — said the collective was formed about five years ago in an effort to revive figurative art, which he said has been out of the picture in today’s Canadian art scene. The collective may have disparate styles as individual artists, Sutton said; however, “our one common thread is that
we’re all interested in art history and we believe in artists being steeped in art history and being able to draw on references from a tradition while also forging ahead and being innovative.” In short, its goal is not to copy the masters but to take the knowledge and to re-create the human form through various media. Its work
can be seen regularly at Lower Mainland galleries and shops. Sutton sees the collective as somewhat of a rebel “because the figure is not that popular in the contemporary art world and we’re not really happy to just let it go. “We think the human figure is important and interesting and beautiful, and there are all kinds of
new directions that can be paved for it.” As for the PoCo s h o w, P h a n t o m s will be a retrospective of about 40 works from Sutton, Michael Abraham, Jeremy Birnbaum, Paul Morstad, Marcus Macleod and Jay Senetchko. The exhibit is curated by Pennyland Shen. • The opening recep-
tion for Phantoms is Thursday, Jan. 16 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village (behind PoCo city hall). The artists will also speak about the collective’s mandate as well as their individual work. The show is up until Feb. 17.
A theatre group for seniors that launched last fall at the Port Moody Arts Centre will re-start its classes this month. Gaye Lepage and Cathie Young of Expect Theatre will lead the sessions beginning on Jan. 24, with a focus on Dylan Thomas’ Under Milkwood. Students will also learn about theatre appreciation, costumes, sets, lighting and sound for plays. All skill levels are welcome to register for the season or to drop in at the facility (2425 St. John’s St.). Call 604-931-2008.

A smaller production continued from page 20
And so, with nothing else on the horizon, board members continued to dip into the capital fund to produce three shows a year at the Evergreen Cultural Centre — a venue that has doubled its rental rates over the past decade. Stage 43 was also forced to bump up ticket prices slightly to cover costs. Last November, faced with the possibility of fading to black this season, the volunteers agreed to scale back its January 2014 production. They had sought to produce Murder on the Nile by Agatha Christie, a large show that required a large cast as well as large royalties. Still, when not enough actors answered the audition call, “we made the decision to suffer our losses,� director Claire Pinkett said. It was club member Michelle Berg who recommended Stage 43 offer Love Letters instead. The A.R. Gurney play requires two actors

His royalties are also less than half of Christie’s. “As soon as she texted me with the idea, I could picture the entire production in my head,� Pinkett said. “I knew it would work out.� With morale higher than ever, Stage 43 also got another shot in the arm: Two weeks be-
fore Christmas, the city handed the society the $20,500 it had applied for as part of its Spirit of Coquitlam casino grant program. With the unexpected turnaround, Pinkett said Stage 43 is now looking to restructure and find new rental space (its lease runs out in June). As well, it’ll be getting ready for its final production of the 2013/’14 season with Seduced By Moonlight — Stage 43’s entry to the Fraser Valley Zone Festival. Said Pinkett, “There are so many components to community theatre that people don’t realize. It’s very much a labour of love.â€? • Stage 43’s Love Letters opens tomorrow at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) and runs until Jan. 25. Shows are at 8 p.m. with a 2 p.m. performance on Jan. 19. For tickets, go to stage43. org/tickets or call the Evergreen box office at 604-927-6555 or go online to evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

Instructors’ show is a first for Blackstock continued from page 20
As part of her migration back to the arts, Blackstock painted a series of partial butterfly wings to demonstrate her life change. ArtWorks Gallery in Yaletown took notice and asked to represent her. From there, Blackstock said her experimenting with style and colour got more bold and out came a series of “poured work.� Last year, Blackstock displayed her work in three group events at ArtWorks and at CityScape Community Art Space in North Vancouver (the show closed in December). This and next month, she’ll have up to nine abstracts on the walls at PMAC — her first time to show there — as part of its instructors’ display that opens tomorrow night. Her paintings will be up beside works from fellow faculty members and visual artists Mark Anthony, Joyelle Brandt, Tracey Costescu, Gabriela Diaconu, Joy Ann Kirkwood, Lili Masbough,
Dylan Moore, Agata Teodorowicz and Frank Townsley; 3D modelling artist Ghazal Farjoo; clay artists Pauline Doyle, Otto Kamensek and Dan Severance; glass artist Rick Mercer; and Maria Centola, an illustrator. Blackstock said the instructors’ show is a good way for PMAC students to examine the professional craftsmanship of the faculty. But she also encourages others to take a peek at what’s happening at the learning centre and to sign up for classes. “For children, they really need a creative outlet. They’re free with art and it’s wonderful to see their confidence build.â€? As for older people, “art keeps them healthy and it’s always good to exercise the mind.â€? • The opening reception for the Port Moody Arts Centre instructors’ exhibit is Thursday, Jan. 16 from 6 to 8 p.m. The show runs until Feb. 13 at the facility located at 2425 St. John’s St.

Express offence sputters on road swing By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
The Coquitlam Express were hit by a power outage during a weekend swing through the Okanagan. The B.C. Hockey League’s most potent offence could manage only three goals during a pair of losses on the road. The Express fell 3-1 to the Vipers Saturday night in Vernon. “We definitely played real well, it was a gutsy effort from our guys,” said coach Barry Wolff, whose Express fought to a scoreless draw in the first and were tied 1-1 heading into the third. “We had our chances to score, we just couldn’t get it past their guy.” Austin Smith made 31 saves in the Vipers net as Coquitlam outshot the home team 32-19. Pierce Dushenko took the loss for the Express. “We had a few breakaways that we didn’t score on, we had a couple where we drove wide and cut in and he stopped those. We just couldn’t solve him,” said Wolff. Brett Mulcahy netted the winner two minutes into the third, adding an insurance marker into an empty net in the dying seconds. Jace Hennig had the lone goal for the Express. The Express opened the road trip with a 7-2 loss to the West

Brendan Persley of the Vernon Vipers gets his stick on a loose puck as he goes up against J.D. Cotroneo of the Coquitlam Express Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. Cotroneo was picked up by the Express at the trading deadline from the North American Hockey League. Ke l o w n a Wa r r i o r s Friday night. “Right off the bat, their first goal went off our defenceman’s skate and their second goal they threw it in front and it went off a shin pad and then their third goal came from the blue-line, a screen shot. So all of a sudden, four
minutes in, we’re down three-zip,” said Wolff. Marc Biega scored in the final minute of the opening frame and Canon Pieper scored midway through the second as the Express battled back to make it 4-2. “Then we missed an empty net and a break-
away that could have made it 4-3 or even 4-4,” said Wolff. “Then they got a lucky one off an odd-man rush to make it 5-2 and we just kind of struggled from there.” The Warriors outshot the Express 40-32 with Gordie Defiel making 33 saves. Wolff was looking
to add a little grit to his lineup at the BCHL trading deadline. He bolstered the Express’ blue-line by obtaining Mark Whiteley from the Salmon Arm S ilver B ack s i n e xchange for future considerations and picking up J.D. Cotroneo from the North American
Hockey League. “We always wanted to upgrade there,” said Wolff. “We went after kids that we knew were good kids and had strong character.” Whiteley has one goal and nine points in 37 games with the SilverBacks and racked up seven goals and 30
points last year with the Langley Rivermen. “Whitely has been in the league for three years. He’s just solid defensively and he’s got some offence too. He’s a huge addition.” Cotroneo — a 6’1” 200-lb. native of Woodbury, Minn. — played 41 games in the NAHL last year with the Topeka Roadrunners, Aberdeen Wings and Soo Eagles. “He’s a solid defenceman too. He bring a little bit of everything. He’s experienced, he’s played in the USHL. He’s a seasoned veteran,” said Wolff. “These guys bring just that element to be able to stabilize the back end for us.” The Express earlier acquired winger Brendan Lamont from the Penticton Vees in exchange for the rights to forward Michael Rebry. Lamont has compiled seven goals and 20 points in 44 games this year with Penticton and the Trail Smoke Eaters. “He again brings grit and energy and determination. He’ll add some secondary scoring but he’s not going to get 50,” said Wolff. The Express are back in action Wednesday when the host the Surrey Eagles at 7 p.m. Coquitlam currently has 40 points in 40 games to hold down third place in the BCHL’s Mainland Division, four points up on the Eagles. sports@tricitynews.com

Schoenefuhs, a 1 9 - y e a r- o l d P o r t Coquitlam product, was the lone representative
for the Panthers at the Pacific Junior Hockey League showcase. “We are so proud of the personal achievements of Wolfgang this season,” said Panthers GM and head coach Jamie Jackson. “Being chosen to represent our organization and community at the PJHL All-

from top to bottom, we are committed to the development and advancement of our players,” said Jackson. “We will work as hard as we possibly can to develop all of our players to achieve elite status and assist them to move up to higher levels of the hockey.”
The Panthers fell 5-3 to the visiting Ridge Meadows Flames Saturday night. Sammy Zeinab staked the Cats to a 1-0 lead in the first period but three-second period goals put the Flames on top. N i c c o M a rc o n at o added a third-period marker for Port Moody

Sanderson earns share of B.C. women’s curling title Coquitlam’s Jessie Sanderson is on top of the B.C. curling world. Sanderson was second for Kesa Van Osch’s Victoria rink that won the 2014 Scotties B.C. Wo m e n ’ s C u r l i n g Championship. Van Osch stole one in the final end to outlast reigning B.C. champion Kelly Scott 5-4 in Sunday’s final at the Prince George Golf and Curling Club. Van Osch set up a perfect final end for her team, protecting her stone in the fourfoot, preventing Scott from getting an easy single for the win. Scott was faced with the impossible task of trying to draw in behind the Van Osch stone, which was sitting just above the button. Scott’s shot was short and the young Van Osch team got the steal to take the game 5-4. T h e Va n O s c h rink, which also includes third Stephanie Baier and lead Carley Sandwith, now moves on to vie for a national title at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts Feb. 1-9 in Montreal.

FEATURING THE
2013
Coquitlam’s Kevin Reynolds has earned the right to represent Canada on the world’s biggest stage. Reynolds was one of 17 athletes nominated by Skate Canada for the Canadian figure skating team at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Reynolds, 23, broke out internationally last season with a win at the Four Continents championship and a fifthplace showing at the world championships. He is the first and currently the only skater to have landed five quadruple jumps in one competition—at the 2013 Four Continents — and is also the only skater to have landed two quadruple jumps in a short program. Wi t h 1 7 s k at e r s , Canada has qualified the largest figure skating team of any country for Sochi 2014: three men, two ladies, three pairs and three ice dance. Canada was also the top qualifying country for the team event which will make its Olympic debut in Sochi. The Sochi Games will take place from Feb. 7-23.
