In about a year’s time, the old Port Mann bridgewill cease to exist.

But before the old span fades into memory, amajor amount of construction — and deconstruc-tion — will take place.

“It’s a very significant undertaking, to say theleast,” said Mike Proudfoot, CEO of TransportationInvestment Corp., the company overseeing theproject.

On Thursday, officials with the Port Mann pro-

ject and Ministry of Transportation provided anupdate on the final stages of construction on thenew bridge, the timeline for the decommissioningof the old bridge and the plaques that will markthe new span.

Proudfoot noted demolition on the old bridgeis already under way, but won’t be complete untilnext year.

He said it’s not just a case of dismantling abridge, pointing out significant environmentalwork also needs to be done during the process.

As for all the material, the TI Corp CEO said its

You’d likely be forgiven for being confused as to just howgood or bad the Tri-Cities’ lone hospital is when it comes totreating patients.

According to a report released Wednesday by the CBC’sThe Fifth Estate in conjunction with the Canadian Institutefor Health Information (CIHI), Eagle Ridge Hospital in PortMoody was given a B grade on a performance report card.

More specifically, the hospital was given an A+ for mortalityafter major surgery, noting there were no deaths — while thenational average is 8.62 per 100 patients — and an A for thenumber of patients readmitted to the hospital after surgery,having a return rate of 5.66 per 100 patients.

ERH received a B for the number of adverse events tied topost-surgical nursing care at a rate of 20.89 out of 1,000, com-pared to the national average of 35.99.

But the hospital got a C for the number of patients per 1,000who develop problems tied to nursing care, scoring a rate of39.4 compared to the national average of 29.19.

The hospital scored a D when it came to the number ofmedical patients per 100 forced to return to hospital within 30days of discharge.

The hospital average is 16.38 per 100, compared to thenational average of 13.31.

A total of 239 hospitals across the country were rated in the

report. But the Fraser Health Authority has taken issue withsome of the findings and methods used.

In a statement to The Tri-Cities NOW, health authority offi-cials suggested the results show the difficulty in comparingresults between jurisdictions when the methods hospitals useto keep track of data vary widely.

“While we acknowledge the opportunities for improvementidentified in the CBC report card, it would be misleading tojudge the overall performance of a hospital based on thisreport alone,” the statement said. “The CBC report bases its

ratings on CIHI data; however, it choseto use only five of CIHI’s 21 clinical per-formance indicators. Basing an overallrating on such a limited number of indi-cators can lead to questionable results.Two of the indicators that CBC has usedare related to nursing-sensitive adverseevents. CIHI itself notes that cautionneeds to be used when interpreting thenursing-sensitive adverse event indi-cator because adverse events are notconsistently reported.”

A spokesperson for Fraser Healthpointed out the authority took partin a province-wide survey of hospitalpatients in 2011-12 and found that 93per cent of Eagle Ridge patients said

their care was “excellent, very good or good.”The health authority also noted ERH’s hospital standardized

mortality ratio based on the most recent data from 2010 is 63— significantly below the Canadian average of 100.

Last month, emergency room doctors with the BC MedicalAssociation gave the hospital’s ER a failing grade, notingthere aren’t enough doctors at the facility while the hospital is“choked” by over 100 per cent capacity.

According to the report’s website on the CBC, five of thelowest-rated hospitals were from Metro Vancouver, includingBurnaby Hospital, Surrey Memorial Hospital, Ridge MeadowsHospital, UBC Hospital and Vancouver General Hospital.

Royal Columbia Hospital in New Westminster was given a Cgrade in the report.

Fires consuming entire city blocks, deadbodies floating listlessly and complete sec-tions of the city that all but disappeared underwater — that was the apocalyptic backdropThomas Stone had to work with.

Stone is the fire chief of St. Bernard Parish,a suburb located slightly southeast of NewOrleans, LA. He was in PoCo Wednesday mor-ning to brief first responders and emergencypersonnel about his experiences in the lead upto, and aftermath of, Hurricane Katrina.

“Everything that you could think of in anightmare was occurring right before youreyes,” he recalled. “My life is still not backtogether. My youngest child is not the sameperson he was pre-Katrina.”

While Stone’s presentation did offer sometips on how to deal with a disaster of thatscale, the majority of the discussion centredaround his experiences during the hurricane,and the lessons learned with the benefit ofyears worth of hindsight.

He also spoke to a litany of things that can’tbe conceived of until they actually happen— bureaucratic nightmares in dealing withvarious government agencies, unexpectedlawsuits, city-wide arson and unimaginedstaff turnover.

“Right after the storm, construction costestimates went through the roof. Buildingmaterials skyrocketed. Shysters come out,they really do, after a disaster — you have tobe prepared for that as well,” he cautioned.

Katrina made landfall near St. BernardParish on Aug. 29, 2005 and Stone’s depart-ment had several protocols in place: they hadplans broken up into 12-hour increments andeach of the parish’s 10 fire halls was evacu-ated well in advance. But as the magnitude

of the storm was realized, the bureaucraticissues began to pile up.

Stone first asked for every available fire-fighter to be recalled, though parish officialsdelayed over fears of having to pay out over-time costs. Those same issues later emergedin dealing with officials from the FederalEmergency Management Agency (FEMA).Damage assessments and disagreements overbuilding standards and the level of aid neededmarred many of Stone’s dealings with FEMAofficials.

“If you go through this, you write downeverybody’s name in every meeting and you

tape it,” Stone cautioned. “Because it comesback on you. Document everything.”

The hurricane’s wrath ultimately spreadover a land mass the size of the UnitedKingdom, and portions of Stone’s communitywere submerged in up to 25 feet of water. Hisdepartment lost more than a dozen trucks,several pumps and the department’s res-cue boat. The majority of Stone’s personnelpersevered, but many residents refused help.Others chose to stay with their homes ratherthan abandon their pets.

Many without flood insurance purposelyset their homes on fire in the hopes that

homeowners insurancewould cover the dam-ages, leading to “wholecity blocks burning.”

“Arson was every-where,” Stone said.

And there was thesmell.

After a few days with-out power, refrigerat-ing units across the citybegan to emit the smellof widespread rot.

The devastationexperienced on the dayof the hurricane wasone thing, but the fall-

out after the fact is dizzying.In total, 26,000 homes and 3,000 business-

es were lost. The parish population droppedfrom 70,000 in 2005 to its current level ofabout 33,000. More than 30 seniors firefight-ers opted for retirement shortly after the hur-ricane, leaving 35 per cent of the current forcewith less than five years worth of experiencein firefighting.

“We lost our upper class and we lost a lot ofour middle class citizens. A lot of our firefight-ers moved out of the area,” Stone said.

Those who remained — both firefightersand citizens — had to contend with the severefallout: domestic violence rates skyrocketed,as did instances of prescription drug abuseand divorce. Depression, resignations andearly retirements left Stone’s ranks in a con-stant state of flux.

Only now are things beginning to return tonormal, as new fire halls are being built andpopulation levels begin to stabilize.

“The disaster that hit us, is still with ustoday … we are still in recovery and probablywill be for a long time to come,” Stone said.

A diesel spill on the Burnaby side of theSuncor refinery has Port Moody politiciansasking tough questions and looking foranswers.

Port Moody Mike Clay said the city wantsto know why the spill occurred, what stepsare being taken to avoid a similar situation inthe future, and how news of any future inci-dents will be communicated to surroundingmunicipalities.

On Wednesday, Suncor officials confirmeda spill was discovered at about 8 p.m. onApril 6. Approximately 225 barrels of a soy-bean-based biodegradable product leaked onSuncor’s property. A small amount reachedthe water, possibly two litres, but the amountwas not confirmed. The product is used as ablending agent in biofuels.

According to Clay, who sat in on a conferencecall Thursday with Ministry of Environmentand Suncor officials, the leak appeared to beentirely on the Burnaby side.

It’s also believed the leak happened some-time between March 24 and 27.

Though Clay said he is encouraged thecompany has been following all the properprotocols in this case, he suggested the big-gest issue involves the communication sur-rounding the event.

“It looks like they followed the protocol,they just haven’t communicated it very welland at times that can be as big a concern,” hetold The Tri-Cities NOW.

For now, he said the city wants Suncor tofocus on dealing with the spill at hand, andaddress the communication gaps later.

Clay also noted Suncor has committedto offering daily updates and a full writtenreport, which will be made available to muni-cipalities and the general public.

Suncor spokesperson Sneh Seetal told theBurnaby NOW that, according to the product’smaterial safety data sheet, it’s not classified asenvironmentally hazardous.

Suncor has a blending and holding facil-ity in Burnaby, right on the border with PortMoody, overlooking Burrard Inlet.

Seetal said the company alerted the B.C.Environment Ministry and EnvironmentCanada and called on Western Canada MarineResponse Corp. to help with the clean-upefforts.

Seetal said the company contained the leak,

isolated the tank, drained the tank and dug aditch around it to contain the material. Theyalso blocked the stormwater sewer to stop anyleakage into Burrard Inlet. Booms and absorb-ent pads were also deployed, Seetal added.

When asked why Suncor didn’t alert thepublic or the media, Seetal said the companydid follow its response plan.

“But absolutely, we will be undergoing athorough investigation of the incident, andthat would involve notification,” she added.

She also indicated the exact cause of theleak was under investigation.

Clay said 171 barrels of the leaked liquidwere recovered and it doesn’t appear anywildlife has been affected.

Though the mayor said two litres might notsound like much, he added that even a dropshould be avoided.

“We’re deeply concerned about anythingthat would affect the inlet and natural eco-system,” he said.

“It’s very important to us and we don’t wantanything like that going on.”

It appears the finan-cial situation facing SchoolDistrict 43 is worse than firstthought.

On Tuesday, district offi-cials provided a budgetupdate, which is now show-ing a deficit of $8 million forthe current school year and a$12-million deficit in 2013-

14. Essentially, the districtover-projected enrolment andrevenues, under-projectedcosts and expenditures anddid not build in any contin-gencies.

Since the district is boundby law to offer a balancedbudget, board chair MelissaHyndes was bleak in herassessment, calling it “devas-tating,” suggesting there willbe cuts to staff and services.

“We will get to a balancedbudget, but it will be with alot of sacrifice,” she told TheTri-Cities NOW.

And there are a whole hostof challenges putting pressureon the district’s budget fornext year, including decliningenrolment, employee bene-fit increases, teacher pensionplan increases of 1.3 per cent,retirement benefit increases,inflation on service and sup-plies, transition from HST

back to the GST/PST andincreasing special educationneeds.

Right now, the district isprojecting total revenuefor the current year, whichincludes the operatinggrant from the Ministry ofEducation at $245 million, tohit $267 million, but expens-es are expected to top $275million.

In 2013-14, total expens-es will rise to $283 million,compared to $271 million inrevenues.

And the district isn’t likelyto get a bailout from the prov-ince, as Hyndes noted thegovernment has no plans toincrease education funding inthe next two years.

However, as a result ofdeclining enrolment aroundB.C., the basic student grantwill increase by $116 to$6,900, but the board chair

said that wouldn’t alleviateall the cost pressures.

The head of the localteacher’s association blasteddistrict administration forthe budget troubles, calling it“mismanagement.”

Coquitlam Teachers’Association president TeresaGrandinetti argued the rea-sons behind the shortfallwere all anticipated, notingthe teachers’ benefits havebeen in place for 25 years.

“The fact you have peoplewho caused this mistake thatare now somehow creatingthe solution, I don’t trust anyof the figures,” she said.

Grandinetti said the teach-ers aren’t at fault for thebudget mess, but they andtheir CUPE colleagues willbear the brunt of the cuts.

She also suggested the “fab-ric” of the district will changewith the type of cuts in servi-

ces and programs needed tobalance the budget.

“Nowhere in the 25 yearsthat I’ve been in the district,I have ever heard of anythinglike this — this is just abys-mal,” Grandinetti said.

The board is holding thefirst of several public budgetmeetings on Tuesday.

The budget update alsoprovided a snapshot of whereall the money is going inthe district. According tothe numbers, 87 per cent ofexpenses are going towardinstruction, 2.5 per cent toadministration, 10 per centto operations and mainten-ance, and 0.5 per cent totransportation. The provin-cial average is 83 per cent forinstruction, 3.2 per cent foradministration. 11.5 per centfor operations and mainten-ance and two per cent towardtransportation.

Verdict in stabbing caseJeremy [email protected]

Robert Anthony Schroyen likely never hada chance.

That’s the feeling both Crown and defenselawyers had following the conclusion of thetroubled man’s attempted murder case, heardin Port Coquitlam Provincial Court April 5.

A judge determined Schroyen was not crim-inally responsible by reason of mental disor-der for stabbing an employee last fall at theForensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam.

Schroyen, who has beena patient at the hospi-tal since 2011, was chargedwith attempted murder andaggravated assault after hestabbed occupational therapistChristopher Steller during acooking session on Sept. 27.

Wearing a green T-shirt,the scruffy-faced, frail-lookingaccused sat in the prisoner’sbox listening to the hour-longtestimony from the only wit-ness called in the case, Dr.Marcel Hediger, a psychiatrist with the hos-pital. On the stand, Hediger explained thatSchroyen suffers from a number of mental dis-orders and disabilities, including schizophre-nia, obsessive compulsive disorder, Asperger’sSyndrome and substance abuse issues.

He also has an IQ between 60 and 70.The doctor noted the patient had grown

up in a home around family members withsignificant substance abuse issues, and wasencouraged at a young age to use drugs.

Hediger told court the 25 year old suffersfrom both delusions and hallucinations, andat the time of the stabbing believed a groupcalled the “Infiniti Clan” was instructing him

to kill the therapist.“That is my opinion, that the mental illness

was active,” he told court. “Mr. Schroyen wascertainly delusional at the time of the event.”

Hediger also testified Schroyen wasn’thappy in the hospital and believed if he killedSteller, he would be able to go home to hismom. Court heard that immediately after theincident Schroyen was heard saying: “I wantthe police. I want to go to the court.”

The victim suffered a punctured lung inthe attack. Hediger noted Schroyen lacked

remorse at the time of the stab-bing, but believed the accusedfelt he was morally justified inhis actions.

Crown prosecutor SusanMcCallum said it was clear thedefendant was not criminallyresponsible for his actions, andJudge Bonnie Craig agreed,ordering Schroyen be detainedat the hospital.

Outside of court, Schroyen’slawyer Paul Sprackman toldThe Tri-Cities NOW his client

was relieved to hear Steller was doing fine.In 2011, Schroyen was found not criminally

responsible on four charges, including assaultwith a weapon, assault causing bodily harm,possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose,and uttering threats stemming from an inci-dent in Richmond in 2010.

At the time of the attack last fall, the hos-pital released a statement: “Our number onefocus is making sure our staff member whowas injured is OK, and is fully supported intheir recovery,” it read. “And as with any ser-ious incident we are also working to make sureour other employees at Forensic PsychiatricHospital receive the support they need.”

Trust. Loyalty. Honesty.Respect. These are basiccore values that we expectin our daily interactionswith each other. Ever since

kindergarten, I have heard the GoldenRule repeated over and over until it wasingrained in my mind. Treat people theway you want to be treated.

Why is it that we don’t expect thesame from our leaders? How is it pos-sible that our politicians are not held tothe same high standards as everyoneelse? What is it that makes them exemptfrom the basic morals prevalent in dailylife?

The provincial election is coming upin a month, and for many of my friends,it will be the first time they are eligibleto vote. Yet cutting through the sludgeof attack ads, obscure messages andplatforms full of economical jargon is noeasy task.

We live in a society where the phrase“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damnlies, and statistics” rings true. Ever sinceI was young, I have been taught thatnumbers can be misleading.

How can I tell what numbers aremeaningful, and what numbers lookgood but don’t really have much sub-stance?

When I vote, I want to be informed.I want to know where parties standon issues that are meaningful to me. Iwould like to see proposed budgets andfinancial information. And to a point,this happens.

Parties do come out with politicalplatforms and budgets before elections.There are plenty of debates to hear can-didates’ opinions at.

But if analyzed closely, a differentstory emerges. With what the Liberalsview as a balanced budget, the NDP canspin the numbers a different way, andcreate nearly $900-million to spend.

It’s merely one example of the lack ofunbiased information available.

Adding to the information obfusca-tion is the sheer voter apathy. In 2009,according to Elections BC, barely 51 percent of eligible voters actually made it tothe polls.

Why? Well, one of the main reasonsI’ve heard for not voting is an inher-ent distrust of politicians. We hearwords like “sleazy,” “manipulative” and“untrustworthy” tossed around. We turnon the TV, and see ads shredding thereputations of other politicians. Withall the mud-slinging, it’s hard to decidewho you can really trust.

On the other hand, I’m sure that wecan all agree our politicians aren’t, norshould they be, perfect. They aren’tthe foul demons they are sometimesportrayed to be. They have familiesthat they go home to at the end of theday, and they enjoy the weekend just asmuch as we do.

There is nothing inherently evil inthem. So then how come there is adeep-seated mistrust for what the polit-icians say?

Perhaps it’s a problem with ourperspective. When we thinkof our provincial government,we are only privy to questionperiod, a notorious battle

ground.What we don’t see are the commit-

tees, made up of members from multipleparties, working together cooperativelyin the best interests of us all.

The time when most people tune intopolitics is when there is a big scandalor election looming, and at that point,politicians are desperately trying tosidestep the issues and protect their bur-nished reputation.

Therein lies the problem. Politicians,based on the public’s expectations, thinkthat they must have a perfectly cleanslate. They see it as their responsibilityto be exemplary role models.

Unfortunately, this means that tal-ented orators spend more time sayingcatchy phrases like “projected expendi-ture growth,” “strong fiscal manage-ment” and “independent review of gov-ernment finance operations” that don’thold a lot of meaning — and dodgingdifficult questions rather than providingthe public with their true opinion onreal issues.

In an era where even the greatestsocial miscues can be forgotten, it istime to forgive our politicians.

Yes, honesty, integrity and opennessshould be expected. No, we should nottolerate the sniping and bickering that isso pervasive.

And despite what they claim, theydon’t have all the answers.

Maybe if an honest politician occa-sionally admitted his mistakes, our soci-ety could relate to their imperfectionsand start to build a base of trust andclarity

Politicians are not so different fromyou and me. Whether they are heroesor scoundrels in your opinion, it is timeto stop holding them to different stan-dards.

The Royal Bank’s swift reaction this week to thetide of negative publicity over its off-loadingof Canadian jobs onto foreign shores would befunny if it weren’t so depressing.

Employees and former employees went to themedia and told how they were tasked with training theirreplacements — who would then take those jobs offshore.

From an initial glance, this is wholly different from thetemporary foreign worker issue the Stephen Harper gov-ernment has leveraged into a favourable employment pro-gram for large corporations.

Many fast food corporations lure foreign workers toCanada with jobs our unemployed, it is said, find toolow-paying and unattractive to take. The businesses savemoney through lower wages and benefits and less turn-over of staff, and the Canadian government can smuglystate it is only allowing businesses to fill unwanted jobs— although how unwanted remains to be seen.

But for large Canadian banks — employees from otherbanks have stepped forward in recent days to share theirstories, too — to pipe jobs abroad that Canadians were fill-ing, in the face of massive bank profits, is galling.

It is also wrong.It is not the fault of the foreign worker, who like his or

her Canadian counterpart just wants a job, but of a systemthat has become too reliant on meeting lower and lowercosts and higher and higher dividends.

But save a measure of condemnation for the governmentthat opened these flood gates. Just as the RBC officialstepped forward to provide cover against a growing out-rage, government ministers are scurrying about with sud-den angst and ire over the situation.

However, Harper’s government approved the bank’srequest to replace 45 workers in Canada with iGate, a com-pany that outsources jobs to India. It is apparent the gov-ernment has made it too easy for companies to prove thereare no Canadians willing or able to do these jobs.

BUS RIDES FORSTUDENTS ADDTODEFICIT

Open letter to SchoolDistrict 43 board members:

Approximately six years agoI attended a School District 43board meeting to present myopinion on the busing of schoolchildren.

My message was quite simple:School District 43 has clearlydetailed rules dealing with thebusing of students in this schooldistrict. Students who don’t meetthe existing kilometres-from-their-home-to-school distancerequirements should not be busedto their schools.

The money spent each year tobus students who clearly don’tmeet the minimum distance-from-school travel require-ments totalled somewhere in the$300,000-plus per year range in2007.

Multiply this annual figure byapproximately 10 for the numberof years School District 43 hasseen fit to bus students who don’tmeet the district’s own traveldistance requirements, and thatequals $3 million.

It’s never easy to make toughfinancial decisions, but the time

has come to enforce already exist-ing busing distance rules.

This holds especially true giventhe huge deficit School District 43currently finds itself with.

The money saved would helpput more teachers and teacherassistants in our classrooms.

Re: “Auditor generalissues report: John Doylecritiques Evergreen Line,”Friday, March 29.

According to John Doyle,SkyTrain and not light rail was thebest option because of its greatercapacity at similar cost.

Never mind that SkyTrain isactually also a light rail system(automated) — but let’s look atthe figures:

• SkyTrain Mark I cars (theoldest ones) — 80 passengers percar; 320 for a four-car train 51metres long.

• SkyTrain Mark II cars — 260to 290 passengers per twin unit33.4 metres long; 520 to 580 pas-sengers for a train of two twinunits nearly 67 metres long.

• SkyTrain Canada line — 334

passengers for a twin unit 41metres long. Due to the too-shorttunnels one could only run threecars by having the current twinunit split in two and an expensivespecial car inserted in between;500 passengers, 62 metres long.

• Seattle Central Link LRT— uses three-section cars thatcarry 200 passengers and are 29metres long. They run twin setsof two cars (400 passengers, 58metres long) but it is possible torun a train of two twin sets (fourcars) with 800 passengers. Onthe Tukwila viaduct near SeaTacAirport, the Central Link LRTlooks like SkyTrain.

• Portland MAX LRT has thesame length, and also runs twinunits that have a slightly smallerpassenger load.

• Paris T2 line runs two Alstom302 trams (LRT) 66 metres long,with 440 passengers. The T3 lineuses Alstom 402 trams (44 metreslong), carrying 300 passengers.They could be twinned and carry600 passengers.

These LRT lines and theSkyTrain are close in size andpassenger load, especially com-pared to the Toronto subway’slatest trains, the Red Rocket (140metres long, six communicatingsections, and a capacity of justover 1,000 passengers).

One does wonder how it is pos-sible for SkyTrain, with elevatedguideways and expensive elevat-ed stations, to cost the same asan LRT.

If Mr. Doyle talks about thecost of drivers on the LRT, heshould know that tramways (theEuropean name for LRT) do notrequire staff in the control centre,nor a police force (I have neverseen a transit police officer inmany metro systems, either).

The gradual change in weather can meanonly one thing — it’s party time.

That’s the message the Port CoquitlamSpirit Committee wants to get out, and it’sa message that also coincideswith the city’s ongoing centen-nial celebrations.

Spirit committee memberJudy Shirra was before coun-cil Monday speaking to thebenefits of the block party, acommunal-type of celebrationthat’s been happening in thecity since the 1990s.

“It is a such a wonderfulevent,” she said in an interviewTuesday. “I’ve been organizingthem for over 20 years and it’slike breaking the communityinto smaller groups and allowing residents tocelebrate and have access to one another.”

This year’s block parties will be somewhatdifferent than in years past, as the city’s parksand recreation department is teaming up withthe committee to offer up to 100 free parties.

Sandy Battle, the community and civicevents coordinator with the parks department,said processing fees — normally around $25— will be waived for the first 100 applications

put forward to help spread 100th anniversarycelebrations across city neighbourhoods.

“We’re going to get rid of those process-ing fees, and provide people with a free kitwith balloons, sidewalk chalk, Frisbees andgame suggestions in there to help eliminatecosts,” she said. “We were looking for ways

for the community to celebratethe 100th anniversary person-ally or in their communities.We want this to be at the grassroots level.”

Both Battle and Shirra rec-ommend taking a few con-siderations into account beforeorganizing a block party,including: checking withneighbours, agreeing on startand end times and spelling outthe kinds of activities that willbe planned.

A block party organizerherself, some of Shirra’s past parties haveincluded scavenger hunts, baking contests,barbecues, balloon tosses and doughnut-eat-ing contests. And all of it can be done forroughly $10 per family, she said.

“It’s a really, really exciting thing to empow-er people,” Shirra said. “All you need, really,is to get a couple of keeners to organizethe whole thing.” For more information, seewww.portcoquitlam.ca/blockparty.

Every year thousands of peopleof all ages wear pink to take a standagainst bullying. It’s a symbol of aunited front against bullies and thepsychological and physical traumathey can have on others.

While it has brought aware-ness and inspired, and continuesto inspire people from all aroundCanada, Terry Fox Secondary Schoolwanted to take it a step further: witha live theatre show meant to enter-tain, inspire and educate the youthof today all about bullying.

Thus was born The Bullying Games.The brainchild of Terry Fox second-ary teacher Dean Whitson and hisleadership class, the show is beingbrought to life with the help of PoCowriter, actor, teacherand more, MandyTulloch.

“It’s a total grass-roots project,”Whitson told TheTri-Cities NOW. “Ourclass thought of theidea. It’s not just sell-ing the shirts, it’s tak-ing it one step furtherwhere you watch andlearn and see someof what the kids aredoing, and learn-ing the solutions tothem.”

The Bullying Games, a take on thepopular young-adult book series TheHunger Games, is a live theatre, 90-minute play designed for childrenfrom Grade 1 to Grade 12 — andtheir parents as well.

“It’s more. It’s not just for kids, it’sfor parents too,” Whitson said. “Wewant to create dialogue, becausebullying is relevant in our schools.Every school has their own issues,but the more we do, the more wetalk about it, the better off we’re allgoing to be.”

The play features various bullying

situations, from the passing com-ment to a physical fight, with nearlyevery scene pulled from real lifesituations.

When Tulloch wrote the scriptover the Christmas holidays, sheknew she had a difficult task aheadof her.

She had to capture the intensityand serious subject of bullying,turn it into a live theatre perform-ance, and at the same time make itinteresting for people of all ages towatch.

But with the vast research com-piled by Whitson and his leadershipclass, she had a lot to work with.

“Theclasswentoutandresearchedthroughout the district,” he said.

He went on to explain his classproduced a set of six questions forchildren of all ages to answer such

as: what does bully-ing look like to you?

Using this infor-mation, Tulloch wasable to better under-stand the generalmind of the youthwhen it comes tobullying and beganwriting her script.

What she learnedconfirmed what shealready knew —bullying happens tokids of all ages. Thatwas something shelived through herself

as an immigrant from England.“I went through all that,” she said.

“I ate my lunch in the library for ayear because I was so intimidated.”

But she wouldn’t let it keep herdown. And now, after producingthe script for The Bullying Games,she said she will be satisfied if shereaches just one kid.

“There are already nearly 3,000students who are going to get to seethis, if we can reach just one stu-dent, get them thinking, we’ve doneour job,” Tulloch said. “Obviously wewant more, but just one would mean

we did our work.”The Bullying Games takes place

in a futuristic game show setting,inspired from the source books. Theplay looks at bullying issues fromthe victim as well as the bully’s pointof view. The performance featuressongs, dances and martial arts, allfrom District 43 students.

The show, at the Terry FoxTheatre, has three performances forthe public: Friday, April 12 at 7 p.m.and Saturday, April 13 at 1 p.m. TheSaturday night show has sold out.

Tickets are $12, $10 for seniorsand $8 for students. For informa-tion, call 604-9421-5401 or [email protected] visit terryfoxtheatre.com.

Filmbenefits fromconvincingperformanceGINGER&ROSA

Starring: Elle Fanning, Alice Englert, Christina

Hendr ick s andAlessandro Nivola

Directed by: SallyPotter

Running time: 90 min-utes

Ginger (ElleFanning) is anintellectual and a“ban the bomb”activist. Rosa (Alice Englert), however, is more

concerned with the immediate, and the emotional state ofthose around her.

“Not everyone can save the whole world like you, Ginger,”she says. “Some of us just have to focus on one person.”

They are both rebellious adolescents living in a 1960sLondon where the Cuban missile crisis is in full swing. Theidea of humanity’s extinction looms over the populace’s mind.Ginger and Rosa’s long-time friendship is tested to the break-

ing point as their strong ideals are put into practice.Sally Potter’s film analyzes how the prominent views on the

ethics of the 60s affected society at animmediate and mass level.

Ginger’s father, Roland (AlessandroNivola), is an anarchist, secularhumanist and pacifist.

“God is an invention. Every manneeds to struggle for his own author-ity, for autonomous thought,” hebelieves.

We are told that during the war herefused to fight. In confinement hewas brutally tortured.

“We only have one life, which iswhy we must seize it,” is another of hisbeliefs.

Of all Roland’s philosophies it isthis one that gets him into the mosttrouble.

It leads him to chasing after numerous women, to the greatdispleasure of his wife Natalie (Christina Hendricks), and

ultimately doing somethingthat could possibly breakapart Ginger and Rosa’sfriendship.

Elle Fanning delivers aconvincing performance asGinger. Although she is only13, Elle assuredly embod-ies Ginger, a 17 year old.Everything about her per-formance is electrifying.

Ginger & Rosa is a densefilm packed with emotionand insight on the Cold Warera. And it does it in a brief90 minutes.

It all builds to a shatteringclimax of immense power asthe story and themes con-verge on one another.

I would have given thisfilm a perfect score exceptthat the final scene is tooambiguous to be satisfying.It makes an otherwise greatfilm feel mildly displeasing.

Roger Joseph Ebertpassed away onApril 4. He was70.

In 1967, Ebertwas hired as the film criticfor the Chicago-Sun Times.

He joined the professionduring a time in which filmcriticism was in a state ofdisarray. Reviews had beenreduced to primitive plotsummaries that ended withthe reviewer’s uninformedpositions on the film.

During the early 1960smost newspapers hired any-one who was willing to writethe column. Ebert wantedto break the status quo andturn film criticism into an artform of its own. In 1975 hewon the Pulitzer Prize for hiscriticisms.

During Ebert’s 34 yearcareer as a film critic, herevolutionized the way wecritique and look at the mov-ies. Without him I may havenever become the film con-noisseur that I am today.

It was Ebert who intro-duced me to film as an artform.

His excitement for themovies guided me throughmy discoveries of classics andmore obscure smaller films.

Without his insightfulreviews and enriching blogsI may have never foundor understood the likes ofMalick, Scorsese and Welles.

Even though I never hadthe privilege of meetingEbert, to say that he changedthe course of my life wouldbe no hyperbole.

He was the greatest andmost influential film critic ofour time. I will forever misshim.

Joshua Cabrita is aGrade 11 student atRiverside Secondary. Heis a founding member ofthe school’s movie club,where students meet toview old classics and

discuss their meaningand significance. One ofhis audacious dreams

is to become a full-timeprofessional film critic.Visit Josh on Facebook

Dental advice for parents

Dental diseaseChildren are suscep$ble

to dental disease, such ascavi$es and gum disease,

which can cause signi+cantdiscomfort. A cavity is a holein the tooth caused by toothdecay. Taking care of a cavity

early on will aid in preven$ngfurther decay. Most peopleconsider gum disease anadult condi$on but it doesoccur frequently in children.In fact, most children havesome degree of gingivi$s,which is the +rst stage ofgum disease. This may causetenderness or bleeding of thegums.

More on cavi"es andgum disease

The good news is that bothcavi$es and gum disease arehighly preventable. Regulardental visits will help to iden-$fy and deal with any signsof concern early on. Dailycleaning and a healthy dietare equally important.

Dental injuriesAc$ve children may also be

suscep$ble to mouth injuries.One way for kids to reducethe chances of damage totheir teeth, lips, cheek andtongue is to wear a mouthguard when par$cipa$ng

in sports or recrea$onal ac-$vi$es that may pose a risk.Avoid chewing ice, popcornkernels and hard candy,which can crack a tooth. Mostdental injuries occur betweenthe ages of 1 1/2 and 3. Hereare some $ps on how to treatthe most common dentalinjuries:• Broken tooth – Rinse out

your child’s mouth withwarm water and use coldcompresses to mini-mize swelling. See yourden$st.

• Cracked tooth – See yourchild’s den$st

• Jaw, possibly broken - Goto the emergency room

• Knocked-out tooth– Clean the tooth byholding it by the crown(not the root) and rinsinggently. If possible, re-in-sert tooth into socket andhold in place un$l youreach your den$st’s of-+ce. If that’s not possible,

place the tooth in a glassof milk and bring it withyou to the den$st.

Dental heath preven"on"ps for kids

Use only a pea-sized por-$on of &uoride toothpaste forchildren over 3 years of ageand a smear for those under3 to minimize swallowing

Brush with a so" tooth-brush and &uoride containingtoothpaste twice a day

Visit your den$st regu-larly – the +rst visit should bewithin 6 months of when yousee the 1st tooth or at oneyear of age.

Teach your children aboutthe bene+ts of &ossingaround the age of 7

Eat a healthy diet andlimit candy and other sweets.Food such as cheese, nuts,carrot and celery s$cks, freshfruit or plain yogurt are allgood examples.

Replace your child’s tooth-brush every 3 months

More about !uorideFluoride is bene+cial even

before your child’s teethbegin to erupt. It strength-ens the tooth enamel asthe teeth are forming. Use&uoride toothpaste, remem-bering to limit the amount toa smear for children under 3years and a pea-sized por$on(like the size of a grain of rice)for children over 3. If yourchild is not ge(ng enough&uoride, talk to your pediatri-cian or den$st about &uoridedrops for your baby.

Choosing a toothbrushfor kids

There is a lot of choicewhen it comes to purchasinga toothbrush, which makes itdi%cult to know what to lookfor. A good star$ng point is toask your den$st for a recom-menda$on.

Choose a toothbrush foryour child that has a smallbrush head that makes iteasier to get to the hard-to-reach places.

Let your child choose his/her toothbrush from the onesyou know are appropriate forhim/her.

Choose a so" toothbrushwith non-slip grips that makethem easy for children tohold.

Replace your child’s tooth-brush every 3 months, a"era cold or illness, or when thebristles lose their shape.

It is never too early toestablish good habits foryour kids – including regularbrushing and &ossing, regulardental visits and ea$ng nutri-$ous foods to support gooddental health.

Dental Health MonthApril is

Baby teeth aren’t impor-tant, tooth loss is a part ofaging, or dental disease onlya#ects your teeth — are justa few commonly held dentalmyths. This Oral HealthMonth, the Bri$sh ColumbiaDental Associa$on providessome dental health factsto help Bri$sh Columbiansprevent dental disease andenjoy be)er health.

Myth: Tooth loss is partof aging

Tooth loss is not inevi-

table; more Bri$sh Columbi-ans are keeping their naturalteeth for a life$me. Losingyour natural teeth can a#ectyour nutri$on, enjoymentof a variety of foods, lead toslurred speech and reduceself-esteem. Keep your teethfor a life$me by con$nuingto prac$se good dental careat home and plan ahead forall your extended health-care needs, including dentalexams (even if you weardentures) and cleanings toprevent disease.

Brush and &oss daily, limitsugary drinks and snacks,don’t smoke and have a reg-ular dental examina$on by aden$st to diagnose prob-lems before they becomemore complex and costly.

Myth: Baby teeth are notimportant, they just fall out

Baby teeth play a sig-ni+cant role in your child’shealth and development.They facilitate speech, sup-

port nutri$on and help topreserve space in the jawfor permanent adult teeth.Dental issues are commonin young children and canlead to pain and infec$on,along with trouble sleeping,di%culty concentra$ng andemo$onal distress — feel-ing bad about the way theylook. Establishing healthydental habits from an earlyage, including regular dentalexams star$ng at the age ofone, can set a child up for alife$me of good oral health.

Myth: If I’m not in pain, Idon’t need to see the den"st

In den$stry an ounce ofpreven$on really is wortha pound of cure; dentaldisease can be preventedbut cannot be reversed.To prevent dental diseaseyou want to see a den$stbefore you experience anypain. Through regular dentalexamina$ons your den$stwill monitor the health ofyour teeth and so" $ssuesto iden$fy any issues earlyto stop the progression ofdisease and lead to be)erhealth outcomes. Pain is asign that a problem ex-ists and you should see aden$st.

Myth: Brushing alone willclean my teeth

While brushing your teethtwice daily, especially beforebed, is an important partof maintaining good oralhealth, brushing alone isnot enough to completelyremove harmful bacteria.Professional dental cleaningsremove addi$onal plaqueand tartar buildup to protect

against cavi$es and gumdisease. Also, don’t forget to&oss daily to clean betweenthe teeth; if you’re onlybrushing, you’re only clean-ing about two-thirds of thetooth’s surface.

Myth: Dental health doesn’ta!ect my overall health

The mouth is an integralpart of your body and isimportant to your overall

health and well-being. Yourmouth is a vital part ofyour ability to chew food,communicate and socialize,and even smile — a healthymouth helps you to feelgood about yourself. Studiescon$nue to link in&amma-$on in the mouth with otherin&ammatory condi$ons,such as diabetes or heartdisease.

PoCo to screenDirt! TheMovieThe City of Port Coquitlam will screen

Dirt! The Movie, on Monday, April 22 inhonour of Earth Day. The screening willtake place at 7 p.m. at The GatheringPlace in the Leigh Square Arts Village.

Everyone is welcome, but pre-regis-tration is required. Call 604-927-8400or visit experienceit.ca and click on“Programs,” then “ARTS AND CULTUREPROGRAMS,” then “Show Courses”under “MOVIE NIGHT DROP-IN.”

The PoCo screening will be held inconjunction with one in Brooklyn, N.Y.organized by PoCo artist Diane Moran.

Narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis, Dirt!The Movie is a 2009 release that focuseson the wonders of soil and its import-

ance to civilization.According to the Internet Movie

Database (www.imdb.com), the filmdetails how humans have lost their con-nection with dirt and the rest of nature.

Itshows,throughanimation,vignettes,personal accounts and storytelling, thedestruction of “our last natural resource”through agriculture, mining and “pavingover the planet for cities.”

The movie also has a hopeful mes-sage, though.

As the Internet Movie Database says:“A millennial shift in consciousnessabout the environment offers a beaconof hope — and practical solutions.

“Around the globe, pioneers are com-

ing together to save Earth’s last nat-ural resource. Tiny villages rise up tobattle giant corporations slaughteringtheir land. Scientists discover connec-tions with soil that can balance globalwarming. Generation X brands organicfarming as trendy and children begin toeat from edible school yards. Inmatesfind inner peace and job skills in a prisonhorticulture program. Medical research-ers explore dirt’s capacity to providesolutions to such devastating healthcrises as AIDS. Major religions are redis-covering the reverence for the naturalworld that unites them all.”

COMMUNITY&LIFEUnlocking pasta perfection

As a cookbook author and culinaryinstructor, I write a lot of recipes.

The most favourite pasta recipefor the masses would probably bemy famous Sausage

& Fennel Pasta. This recipe isin my Volume 3 cookbook inthe Chef Dez on Cooking cook-book series.

How it became “famous” isthat I have made it for yearsfor family gatherings andeveryone always asks for therecipe.

My response was always“I don’t have it written down— it’s just in my head!” So finally I put it topaper.

For your information, vegetable stock pasteis vegetable stock that has been reduced to apaste form.

It can be found in most major grocery storesdown the broth or spice aisles.

The most popular brand is “Better ThanBouillon” made by Superior Touch.

It comes in small glass jars and other fla-vours such as beef, chicken, and turkey.

By the way, the words “stock” and “broth”are interchangeable.

Happy Cooking!

Dez’s Famous Sausage &Fennel Pasta:

• 3 tbsp olive oil.•500g mild Italian sausage, casings

removed.• 1 medium onion, dice very small.• 4 to 6 large cloves of garlic, minced.• 2 tbsp dry fennel seed.• 1 tsp salt.

• A few grinds of black pepper.• 1 – 156ml can tomato paste.• 1 – 796ml can of diced tomatoes.• 1 cup of full-bodied red wine.

• 1 tsp vegetable stock paste.• 2 tbsp white sugar.•400g penne pasta or other

favourite pasta shape.• 1 cup whipping cream.•Chopped fresh parsley, for

garnish.•Grated parmigiano reg-

giano cheese, for garnish.

Here are the cooking direc-tions:

1 — Add the olive oil, sausage, onion,garlic, fennel seed, salt and pepper to a largeheavy bottomed pan.

2 — Turn the heat on to medium-high andcook, while breaking up the sausage, until thesausage is fully cooked and in small pieces.Cook for approximately eight to 12 minutes.

3 — Stir in the tomato paste, diced toma-toes, wine, vegetable paste, and sugar.

Bring to a boil and reduce over mediumheat until the sauce becomes very thick,approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Cook your pasta in boiling, liberally saltedwater to desired consistency (approximately13 to 15 minutes for penne, but read yourpackage instructions) during this step.

4 — Once the sauce has reduced, stir inthe whipping cream and then the cooked anddrained pasta.

Serve immediately garnished with parsleyand grated parmigiano reggiano.

Makes approximately six portions.

In a pattern that has played out allseason long, Coquitlam Metro-Ford’sNatalia Kaczmarek put the boots tothe opposition — literally.

To begin the Coastal Cup girlsunder-18 first round last week, Kaczmarekconverted an error into the first goal and laida perfect corner kick that teammate PaigeBenning buried for the second.

That gave the Threat a solid lead barely 20minutes into the contest and set the coursefor a 3-0 triumph over Vancouver.

On a team where everyone brings theirbest to the pitch each game, Kaczmarek’scontributions have been significant. She wasa major spark with 21 goals as the Threatposted a 16-2-1 record in league play.

It earned her the Metro Soccer League’su-18 MVP award — an honour that took theDr. Charles Best student by surprise.

“My initial response was shock, I was sosurprised and ecstatic that I have been votedand awarded a great title like MVP,” notedKaczmarek in an e-mail. “Soccer has playeda tremendous part in my life and most of mylasting friendships have come from playingon the same team.”

Although she joined the club a little morethan a year ago from Surrey, the playersmade her feel immediately like family.

That welcome was just what she neededto help make the transition.

“My team is very friendly and the mostwelcoming team I’ve ever played [on] duringmy life. I’ve never been a part of such a hardworking group of girls that share the samepassion for the sport as I do,” she noted.

Coach Andy Dodge said having a strikerof Kaczmarek’s abilities has given the club aquick jump on the opposition.

“Nat gives 110 per cent every game [and]she is very focused and driven,” noted Dodge,

who is in his sixth season as head coach.“Nat earned the MVP [award] because sheputs the fear of God in all defences. The clubis very lucky to have a player of this calibrecome back to Coquitlam.”

As two-time defending provincial champs,the Threat carry the burden of being in thecrosshairs of the competition every game.

So far, it’s not a problem. After Kaczmarekgot the ball rolling in the Coastal Cup opener,the Threat relied upon the league’s stingiestdefence to keep Vancouver at bay. Holly Joeadded an insurance marker.

Kaczmarek’s love of the game, rekindledsince joining Coquitlam last spring, is evi-dent off the field as well as the scoresheet.

“Soccer is more than a sport to me, ittaught me good sportsmanship, teamworkand many other valuable life skills.

“Going to practices and games is some-thing I look forward to... I’m on the pitchalmost every day of the week,” she added.

Striker thrives with Threat

LISA KING/NOW

It’s been an incredible season for Coquitlam Metro-Ford under-18 Threat striker Natalia Kaczmarek. Her club is in the huntfor its second provincial title, and the teen was named the league’s MVP after scoring 21 goals in 19 regular season games.

POMO, WOLVES IN HUNTThere are two local teams now vying for

Provincial ‘A’ men’s bragging rights.The Port Moody Lordco Gunners earned the

final berth into the ‘A’ Provincial Cup champion-ships by besting Fraser Valley premier rival PeaceArch 3-1 last week.

A goal 30 seconds into the game by ReeseMiles gave the Gunners an early edge, off a niftysetup from Chris Attadia and Dan Bordignon.Just 22 minutes later, Ryan Gordon headed inwhat would prove to be the game winner, offa Dave Robson cross. Miles completed the PortMoody offence a handful of minutes later. WhilePeace Arch countered with a goal before the half,the Gunners held their ground the rest of theway to earn its spot.

Port Moody opens the 16-team first round onVancouver Island on Saturday against Cowichan,while the Vancouver Metro League’s CoquitlamMetro-Ford Wolves venture to Victoria to playHamptons on Sunday in their opening test.

In the under-21 Doug Day Cup, local squadsNorth Coquitlam United, the Coquitlam Metro-Ford junior Wolves and Port Moody Lordco jun-ior Gunners begin this weekend with an equalshot at advancing to the final eight.

The junior Wolves kick it off Saturday againstSaanich, 3 p.m. at Coquitlam Town Centre west,while the Gunners play Richmond, 4 p.m. at PortMoody Town Centre. North Coquitlam hostsGuildford, 2 p.m. Sunday at Dr. Charles Best.
