Colony Farm plan raises alarm bellsCommercialization concerns locally

By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Members of the BurkeMountain Naturalists andseveral Coquitlam city coun-

cillors are worried MetroVancouvers plans for afarming academy at ColonyFarm Regional Park couldlead to the commercializa-tion of the park.

Metro is moving aheadwith plans that would intro-duce sustainable food pro-duction to the site and work

as a research and trainingground for urban agricul-ture.

But Elaine Golds, presi-dent of the Burke MountainNaturalists, said she is dis-appointed with the planand believes the region hasnot considered the impactsof the proposal. More ag-

riculture in the park couldincrease human-wildlifeconflicts, she said, notingshe is also concerned withthe types of agreements thatcould be signed with organi-zations that would operatethe academy.

All of those things need tobe thought out very carefully

when you start introducingcommercial agriculture intothe park, said The Tri-CityNews Green Scene colum-nist. I have no comfort levelwith what I have seen so far.

It is a park and a park isfor the people.

Several Coquitlam coun-cillors also had reservations

about the Metro plan.Coun. Selina Robinson

said Metro Vancouver wouldhave a tough time convinc-ing Coquitlam residents theacademy and increased agri-culture at the park is a goodidea.

The Tri-Cities have several new red light cam-eras at what police are calling high-risk inter-sections.

From gravel to green (fake)grass: How much to spend?Input will help Moody council determine what changes tomake to busy Inlet Park

Diane StrandbergTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody residents are getting a chanceto weigh in on three concept plans for up-grading Inlet Park from gravel to artificialturf.

But whether the project ends up on coun-cils to-do list will depend on public supportand cost.

PoMo is already going into debt to fundconstruction of a new fire hall and upgrad-ing Inlet Park to turf would also require aloan between $3.7 million and $5.7 milliondepending on the size of the project andamenities.

The citys director of community services,Ron Higo, said hes hoping people will take alook at the concept plans and the cost, thenmake their views known through an onlinesurvey or an open house next Tuesday, Sept.20.

That information will be included in a re-port to council when we collect everything,Higo said, adding that the report could beready this fall.

Depending on the timing of the report, theproject could even be an election issue in thecivic vote, slated for Nov. 19.

Four years have passed since Port MoodySoccer Association asked the city to look intothe possibility of upgrading the gravel field,which is used for soccer and softball, and hasa small parking lot and field house.

The group contributed $10,000 toward a$30,000 feasibility study conducted by R.F.Binnie and Associates Ltd., a municipal en-gineering and surveying company.

Three concept plans have been developedand refined after input at a community meet-ing earlier this year:

Option A proposes to expand the siteslightly to 15,000 square metres, cover thegravel field with artificial turf, and addbenches, a field house and 41 parking stallsat a cost of $3.7 million.

Option B proposes a 16,700 sq. m site with81 parking stalls but a similar layout for theturf field to accommodate softball and soc-cer at a cost of $3.8 million.

Option C would add a second artificialturf field, provide room for 104 parking stallsand double the size of the site area from13,300 sq. m now to 26,840 sq. m, requiringan greater encroachment onto the park aswell as an enhanced entrance at the intersec-tion of Klahanie Drive and Murray Street; itwould cost $5.7 million.

The tax impact would range from a 1%

hike a cost of about $16 per house to1.65%, or a cost of $25.58 per household.

Higo said other user groups, including thePoMo Soccer Association, are being invitedto make their comments on the proposals

Links to the online survey as well as moredetails about the tax impact and the draw-ings are available on citys website, www.cityofportmoody.ca.

PoMo residents can find out more aboutthe proposals at an open house in theGalleria at city hall on Tuesday, Sept. 20 from6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Currently, the city has 19 soccer pitchesand 13 ball diamonds, including turf fieldsat Heritage Woods secondary school and be-hind the PoMo rec complex.

A new Port Moody fire hall got a stepcloser to reality Tuesday with city councilsapproval of a phased borrowing plan for the$11-million project.

The city will borrow $6 million througha Municipal Finance Authority bond issuethis spring for construction of the three-storey, 20,000-square-foot LEED (Leadershipin Environmental Design) silver building onKnowle Street.

Acting city manager Colleen Rohde said$2 million in reserves will be used to begindesign and geotechnical work this fall, withthe city borrowing another $3 million oncefinal costs are in.

The hope is that the city may be able toreduce the amounted needed from the $9-mil-lion borrowing limit set by council as costs

are known and early site preparation riskshave passed. One big concern, according toa design brief approved by council Tuesday,is the unknown ground conditions of theKnowle Street property and the city wontknow more until geotechnical, environmen-tal and archeological investigations are com-pleted.

But approval of the phased funding willallow the city to select an architect andaward the contract, Rohde said, possibly asearly as next month. The city is also lookingfor a project manager.

The design brief approved by council setsout the scope of the project, which will be apost-disaster structure with space for equip-ment, firefighters quarters, administrationand training, and is supposed to last 50 years.The building will also be twice as large asthe current building and slightly larger thansome halls in neighbouring cities.

Still, some financial juggling will haveto take place to accommodate constructioncosts. In a related bylaw, council updated its2011 financial plan to meet requirements ofthe Municipal Financing Authority and sev-eral changes were noted. For one, an assess-ment appeal of the Mill and Timber prop-erty to $15 million from $20 million cut intoreserves by $279,700, leaving only $235,300. Tomake up the difference and cover associatedcosts, plans to remediate the Barnet landfillhave been scaled back by $1 million, leaving$1.3 million to fund that work.

Its anticipated that the borrowing costsfor the $11 million fire hall project will be$361,000 in 3012 and $541,00 from 2013 to 2015.

Smile, youcould be on cameraRed light cameras installed at several local intersections

Five red light cameras went live in theTri-Cities this week in an effort to reduceserious crashes and prevent traffic inju-ries and fatalities.

According to ICBC, 40% of police-at-tended traffic accidents occur at intersec-tions and the province is hoping motor-ists will be more cautious knowing cam-eras are in place.

Weve seen too often the carnage ofintersection crashes, said RCMP LowerMainland traffic services Supt. NormGaumont. High-risk driving has no placeon our roads and well do everything wecan to go after those drivers who have acomplete disregard for others.

In Coquitlam, intersection safety cam-eras went live at Lougheed Highwayand Pinetree Way, Barnet Highway andMariner Way and Guildford Way; andLougheed at Pitt River Road.

A total of three cameras will be inoperation in Port Coquitlam by the endof the year and so far one has been in-stalled one the Mary Hill Bypass at PittRiver Road and another at the bypass andShaughnessy Street.

The province insists the program ismeant to improve safety on local roads,not increase the number of ticket rev-enue brought in by the cameras. ICBCsaid that sites were chosen based on ac-cident statistics and more than 140 cam-eras would be placed at B.C.s highest-riskintersections.

Trash talk in PoCoThe city of Port Coquitlam is hop-

ing to push residents householdwaste diversion rate to at least 70%,a goal set by the Metro Vancouverregion.

Currently, the city diverts 62% ofits waste from the landfill, thanksin large part to the citys success-ful kitchen waste and recycling pro-grams. But the increases have stalledin the last year and the city is hop-ing a renewed effort from residentscould push the municipality past theregional goal.

About 75% of what is typicallythrown away can go into green andblue carts, according to a city pressrelease.

The city has continued to developits waste-reduction program this year,with the expansion of the green cartprogram to multi-family complexes,the introduction of green and bluecart collection at schools, and moreopportunities for waste sorting in thecommunity.

Residents can now separate theirfood scraps and cans/bottles at bothof Port Coquitlams recreation cen-tres, at civic events such as the Riversand Trails Festival on Sept. 25, andin some public locations, includingShaughnessy Street.

For more information about thecitys waste diversion efforts go towww.portcoquitlam.ca/wasteloss.

PORT MOODY TRASHPort Moody has also seen similar

success with its waste diversion efforts.According to the city, the percent-

age of trash being diverted from thelandfill jumped from 40%, where it satfor decades, to about 60% in about sixmonths. The increase followed PortMoodys decision to bring its wastecollection efforts in-house, which thecity said gave more flexibility.

The citys efforts did not stop at 60%diversion and, as of the end of July, theaverage diversion rate in 2011 was 75%.

$ for playgroundsFour local middle schoolsto get equipment funding


Four Tri-City middle schools havebeen chosen by the province to get newplaygrounds under an $8-million planto ensure every elementary and middleschool in B.C. has equipment for chil-dren to play on.

The news came as a surprise to ComoLake middle parent advisory councilchair Jacquie Hutchins, who learnedher school will get one of the $50,000playgrounds.

It hasnt been a priority but it surewill be nice, said Hutchins, who saidthe playground equipment will be agood addition to the sports court parentsfundraised for and built five years ago.

Although playgrounds arent top ofmind for the PAC, which has been oc-cupied by other priorities, such as fund-raising for buses for field trips, Hutchinssaid she is looking forward to findingout more about the project.

Three other School District 43 middleschools Citadel, Kwayhquitlum andMaillard will also get up to $50,000each for playground equipment. Theywere among 44 schools getting newequipment in the two-year playgroundgrant program, which gives priority toschools without playgrounds.

SD43 secretary treasurer RickHumphreys told trustees at a board ofeducation meeting Tuesday that theschools were picked by the province afterthe district submitted an inventory of

playground equipment over the summer.Premier Christy Clark announced the

plan at a press conference the day aftersaying she wouldnt call a fall election.Clark said she wanted to build new play-grounds and update older playgrounds sokids have a safe space to play and will behappier, healthier and ready to learn.

She also said she will make changesto capital agreements for new elemen-tary schools to require playgrounds tobe part of the new construction.

As well, schools that are putting inplaygrounds this year could also be eli-gible for reimbursements.

The board chair, Port Moody TrusteeMelissa Hyndes, said she hopes thatdoesnt mean parents have to pay forplaygrounds first and then get reim-bursed. Some of these PACs may nothave the money to go forward,saidHyndes, who wants more informationabout how the program will work.

Keeping playgrounds safe is an on-going concern for the district, accord-ing to Humphreys, who told trusteesplaygrounds have to be continuouslymonitored for safety problems. Just thisweek, vandals unbolted playgroundequipment at an elementary school.

And one Port Coquitlam school is stillwithout most of its school playgroundafter vandals torched the slide, trolley andmuch of the climbing equipment over thesummer. Insurance will cover $30,000 inreplacement costs for the playground atBirchland elementary but it wont be de-livered for another eight weeks. A repre-sentative for the school PAC said parentsraised nearly $50,000 for the equipment,which was installed in 2008.

City talks tennis todetermine needsStudy will look at whether more courts or tourneyfacility are needed in Coq.

By Gary McKennaTHE TRI-CITY NEWS

The city of Coquitlam is launch-ing a feasibility study to determinewhether more tennis courts, includ-ing a tournament-level facility, shouldbe built here.

With the growing popularity of thesport, there is a limited number of in-door courts and staff said expansionof tennis facilities could be a goodlong-term investment for the city.

Conducting a study would require$10,000 from the citys recreation capi-tal fund, which staff expect would bematched by Tennis Canada. Thereare currently 35 tennis courts in themunicipality and the feasibility studywould determine sites for futurecourts and the feasibility and poten-tial location of a tournament facility.

Consultations will take place be-tween the city and local tennis groupsbut councillors said they would like tohear the opinions of everyday courtusers.

I want to get everyones ideas,said Coun. Mae Reid. Quite often, weseek input from our sports groups...

but I want to make sure this is reallyinclusive.

The study will also look at the num-ber of Coquitlam residents who traveloutside of the municipality in orderto play tennis at neighbouring facili-ties. A similar study in Vancouverfound that 50% of respondents wouldplay tennis more often if courts weremore accessible.

Coquitlam staff said the study willtake several months to complete andexpect to present their findings tocouncil in the winter.

Welcome to Coquitlam

Here in Chicago, theever-present ice creamman is still on theblock, with his melodic bellpiercing the air and enticingthrongs of hungry children ontheir way home from school.He is one of the last signs of summer thatwill indeed be gone in a week. Everything isheading back to normal once again as thepopulations youth are back in their class-rooms.

This past week, I had my last first day ofschool as Im on track to receive my bache-lors degree in May, and I have recently begunto realize how much my identity is tied tobeing a student.

I cannot remember a time when I wasnot one. You save four dollars at the moviesand get discounts for theatre, museum andconcert admissions, so youre telling me

that now I have to pay full price? Any timea form asks you to state your occupation, Ihave always ticked Student; there are alwaysa lot of other choices, sometimes broad,sometimes specific but I have always bee-lined to the Student box, and now I cant helpbut wonder what new box will I check next?Will that part of the form remain blank? Forhow long will the occupation box remainunmarked?

America is the land of the free, the homeof the brave and, for the past three years, myhome, and if there is one thing I have seen inmy past three years, it is that jobs are not aneasy thing to come by these days. The pros-pect of walking across the stage with a capand gown on and receiving my universitydegree is exciting but also terrifying.

The prospect of entering the job marketin this economy is about as exciting as beingattacked by wild cats.

I met a man on the train the other day whowas a successful interior designer but sincethe economy has taken a turn, he has tomoonlight at a pizzeria and a septic disposal

company (fantastic combination, I know).Even the idea of starting at the bottom of theladder is not so promising; even if you climbthe ladder, you may take a fall off it and con-front survival jobs like this. In the year 2011is there is such a thing as one solid career forthe lifetime? Does everyone have to put onthe entrepreneurial hat?

I know I have said before that the life ofa student has many challenges but it hasbecome clear that life has many challenges.During your college years, you are pushed

harder than you ever thought you could, youlearn to navigate situations, and predict andanticipate for possible outcomes. But it is alltheoretical, and soon it will be time to putthe theory into practice. I have made gooddecisions and bad decisions. I am excitedabout what the future holds excited butalso unsure.

The carousel music of the ice cream trucksure can make me nostalgic for the carefreedays of running in the house and demand-ing money for the most important thing: icecream.

But for now, with the sound of the icecream man in the distance, I shall buckledown and prepare for the best year of myschool career. This is the year of big deci-sions and final creations.

It is my year to make the future happen.Naomi Yorke is a Port Coquitlam student wholived in Shanghai, China for four years, writ-

ing about her experiences twice a month forThe Tri-City News. She now lives in Chicago,where shes attending art school, and contin-

With a national hero, Terry Fox, being a home-town boy, its no surprise that the TerryFox Run has become a Tri-City institution.Indeed, it could be argued that the support for hiscause is possibly stronger here than anywhere else.

No fewer than four runs are taking place in theTri-Cities this Sunday to raise funds for the Terry FoxFoundation. That means there is no shortage of op-portunities to contribute to the family run fund thathas collected more than $500 million worldwide.

But Terrys legacy doesnt stop there. In fact, hisdream is an international phenomenon, with folksfrom Dubai to India running and raising money tofurther his dream of ending cancer.

Terry has been described as a simple guy with a bigdream. He understood that great things could be ac-complished if everyone did a little bit.

He took the first step and now especially now,following the death of Betty Fox we must pick upthe torch.

FACE TO FACE: Should Canada bring back its post-9/11 anti-terrorism laws?

ANDY RADIA JIM NELSON

Iapplaud the Stephen Harpergovernments decision to bringback anti-terrorism measuresthat expired in 2007 measuresthat allow police to detain suspectsfor up to 72 hours without a war-rant and allow judges to compel wit-nesses to testify.

When the legislation was intro-duced shortly after Sept. 11, 2001,the Liberal federal government saidthe provisions had three main objec-tives: to suppress existing terroristgroups, to provide police with newinvestigative tools and to toughenprison sentences for terrorists.

The need to pursue these objec-tives still exists today.

While billions of dollars havebeen invested in security measures,more information-sharing withallies and tighter controls on themovement of passengers, cargo andvehicles since 9/11, threats of terrorstill exist.

In particular, Canada is at risk tohome-grown terrorist attacks, as ev-idenced by the 2006 Toronto 18 case,where a group of young Muslimmen, enraged by Canadas militaryinvolvement in Afghanistan andfuelled by violent jihadi videos, plot-ted to storm Parliament Hill anddetonate truck bombs in downtownToronto. There was also the 2010Ottawa terror cell that authorities

suspect was part of a bombing andterror financing plot that stretchedfrom Canada to the Middle East.

Given the current realities of theworld, Canadians must avoid com-placency and continue to be vigilantagainst potential terrorist attacks.

Other democracies have alsochosen similar measures to com-bat terrorism in the post 9/11 era.In Australia, for example, terrorsuspects are allowed to be held forseven days without charge. In theU.K., authorities can detain sus-pects for up to two weeks.

For critics of the policy, its alsoimportant to note that in the fiveyears the preventive detention legis-lation was active in Canada, it wasnever used.

Nevertheless, Im sure my col-league opposite will trumpet theprevailing rhetoric about how thelegislation will trample humanrights.

But where is my right, as a law-abiding citizen, to live in peace andsecurity?

I want to know that the policehave the tools at their disposal tosuppress terrorist activity. Im com-forted the Conservative governmentwill give prosecutors the levers tobuild strong cases against mongersof terror so that judges can putthem away for a long time.

Canada isnt a jihadist target

Anti-terror laws keep us all safer

IN QUOTES

Given the current realities of the world,Canadians must avoid complacency and con-tinue to be vigilant against potential ter-rorist attacks.Andy Radia

vs.We havent done any-thing to make them angry. We havent in-vaded them or bombed their countries.Jim Nelson

Prime Minister StephenHarper wants to re-introduceCanadas anti terrorism law,which expands police powers, al-lowing them to detain suspected ter-rorists without charge for 72 hoursand giving them the authority toforce testimony from anyone at aninvestigative hearing.

The Civil and Charter of Rightsdangers of this law are consider-able and are alone enough to war-rant our vigourous opposition toit. Its not very Canadian at leastwhat we defined as Canadian beforeMr. Harper took over as PM.

I must confess, however, that it isthis laws part in this definition ofCanadianism that worries me morethan does the inevitable time whena police force abuses this law by de-taining a few political protesters orother dubious terrorists.

Re-introducing this law is the lat-est in a series of steps Harper hastaken to move Canada toward sup-porting and emulating U.S. style for-eign policy. Some other steps are: theF-35 bomber purchase, Mr. Harperspersonal support for the Iraq War,the unquestioned deporting of U.S.war resistors living in Canada, ag-gressively siding with Israel and theincreasing use of Americanismssuch as cut and run, the war onterror, support our troops and

God Bless Canada in his rhetoric.These steps tell the world that

Canada no longer defends inter-national solutions. They say thatCanada not only supports, but willfight alongside, the U.S. in interna-tional disputes.

Majority in hand and under thecover of the 10th anniversary of9/11, Prime Minister Harper sug-gests that this law never onceused, and expired since 2007 isnow crucial to defending us fromwhat he calls Canadas biggestthreat: Islamic terrorism.

Im sorry but I cannot helpbut feel that despite Mr. Harpersconcern, Torontos CN Tower,Montreals Olympic Stadium,Vancouvers Rogers Arena andthe PNE are in little danger fromIslamic jihadists. We havent doneanything to make them angry. Wehavent invaded them or bombedtheir countries or called themnames like axes of evil. We didntparticipate in the Iraq war and wehave, until recently, maintained aninternational outlook.

The only way Canada will be indanger from Islamic terrorism is ifthe PM continues to move Canadaaway from our traditional inter-national perspective and toward apartisan embrace of the Americanwar on terror.

Re. Pick up trash every week(Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept.14).

Before Saeed Nejatali goescharging off to the polls, the letterwriter should consider the follow-ing: In Port Coquitlam, green gar-bage (garden clippings and kitchenwaste) is picked up weekly duringthat part of the year when warmerweather may cause quicker decay/

rotting and subsequent odour.Recyclable and general garbageshould not cause a problem as lit-tle odour would occur.

Port Coquitlam distributes acalendar with appropriate pick-up dates. If greater capacity is aproblem, a second or larger bin isavailable at reasonable cost.

Garbage happens, it shouldntrule ones life.Terence Roberts, Port Coquitlam

Garbage shouldnt rule lives

The Editor,Re. Power producers plead their

case to province (BC Views, The Tri-City News, Sept. 14).

I am glad to see columnist TomFletcher agrees with John Horganon small hydro power projects suchas the Nuu-Chah-Nulth being bene-ficial for remote communities. Thisone may have a light footprint anddisplace diesel generated power for agood portion of the year. The power-house is close to the point of use andit is a true run-of-river project.

But I do not believe Mr. Fletchercould have seen projects such as theAshlu before construction. He wouldhave noticed that there used to bewater in the river.

The critics are far from silenced asdrying up of the Ashlu has broughteven more opposition tothese projects. He mostlikely wasnt on site dur-ing construction of EastToba or Tyson Lake.Alpine lakes such asTyson on the SunshineCoast are being bottomdrained by levels of 60feet. This is not run of river.

The blasting and tunnellingrequired, the clearcuts for the pen-stocks, the clearcuts for the powerlines to join clusters of powerhousestogether, service roads larger thanfor logging, clusters of permanentpowerhouses, diversion of waterfalls,drying of rivers all are my idea ofdevastation.

Yes, I do get out. Will Mr. Fletcherpublish photos of construction ofprojects such as Tyson Lake on the

Sunshine Coast andlet his readershipform an opinion?There are no roaddeactivations or re-planting as there iswith forestry.

If one were ac-quainted with thehistory of logging,one would know a

deactivated camp is virtually impos-sible to find. The IPPs are not boundby the Forestry Act when it comes toroad building, construction or visualimpact.

Will Mr. Fletcher publish themonthly production figures of thesehydroelectric projects and correlatethem to a decrease in purchase of fos-sil fuel generated electricity?

Has Mr. F letcherwatched the silt depositreach all the way fromTyson Lake, down theTzoonie River and intoNarrows Inlet?

Mr. Fletcher acknowl-edges majority owner-ship of these projects

gets flipped to foreign corporationsand investment funds as soon as ap-provals are granted. You bet I have aproblem with them making a profitrather than the people of B.C. Thecase for political corruption lookspretty strong when you see govern-ment officials who lobbied for theirexistence move to prominent posi-tions in private power companies.Will Mr. Fletcher publish that list andlet his readership form an opinion?Ken Holowanky, Coquitlam

While the money isimportant, Gartlandtold trustees, the pro-grams goal is to preparestudents for a globalizedworld.

And keeping it goingtakes constant atten-tion; for example, theprogram recruited 400students just this falland will need to findanother 250 mid-year tocover attrition.

Some markets, [thestudents] have shorterstays and you havemuch greater turnover,Gartland said.

To keep filling thedraining bucket, rela-tionships have to be

maintained with agents,sister schools and evenindividual families, andnew markets have to bedeveloped.

Now that fewer stu-dents are coming fromSouth Korea, SD43 isturning to new marketsin China, Turkey, LatinAmerica and Vietnam,where economies arecurrently stronger. Thisyear, for example, 19students enrolled fromBrazil, eight of whom areattending high school;four students havecome from Columbia;six from Mexico; fourfrom Turkey; 19 fromThailand; and five fromVietnam.

The district has also

developed a long-termrelationship with theHong Kong EducationCommission, resultingin the enrolment of 27students. Other studentscome from Taiwan (42)and Japan (17).

But China could proveto be the biggest mar-ket. Gartland noted that300 students have beenrecruited from China inthe last three years, re-flecting the districts suc-cess in partnering withschools there and otherstrategic relationships.

T h i s , c o u p l e dwith our ConfuciusClassroom, reflect oursignificant presencein the second largesteconomy in the world,

she said, referring to acultural program thatenrols more than 480students per semesterin Mandarin classesthat run on Friday eve-nings and Saturdays attwo sites.

Gartland also notedthe relationships devel-oped with China have re-sulted in cultural oppor-

tunities for all students.This spring, the NanjingUniversity TraditionalInstruments Orchestraplayed a concert atPort Moodys HeritageWoods secondary andCoquitlams Walton el-ementary is hostingthe Xinhua News photosexhibition this fall. Aswell, several studentsand teachers receivedscholarships to study inChina this summer.

The good news is thatthe relationships beingbuilt now could furtherthe goals of the inter-national education pro-gram in the future, shesaid, noting, China isstill a new [email protected]

An extra $774k inthe bank for SD43

School District 43 is beginning the newschool year with better news than usual.Tuesday, the board of education approvedthe audited financial statements for 2010/11,which included a $774,369 surplus.

But the leftover cash is nothing to get tooexcited about, the districts assistant secre-tary treasurer said. Bob Janzen comparedthe sum to a $200 saving on a $50,000 familybudget. Its a razor thin margin, he said.

The statements include details of reve-nues, operating expenditures and the balancesheet, and show the district spent $290 mil-lion to operate schools, including employeebenefit pay-outs, services and supplies andthe amortization of capital assets.

Janzen noted revenue and expenditureswere up about $11 million from the year pre-vious due to extra costs and funding associ-ated with full-day kindergarten.
