It’s a plan as sprawling as the Riverview landsthemselves — a health and wellness campus, anacute-care hospital and a purpose-built psychiat-ric hospital.

Those were just a few of the elements con-tained in a wide-reaching report released byCoquitlam council Monday called Into the Future:the Coquitlam Health Campus.

The30-pagedocumentwaspreparedforthecityby noted clinical psychologist John Higenbottam

and will serve as Coquitlam’s official submissionto the ongoing Riverview Hospital lands publicconsultation being done by BC Housing.

The report is also being highlighted in thecontext of the ongoing operational and strategicreview being undertaken by Fraser Health.

Some of Higenbottam’s key recommendationsinclude:

• Relocating the Burnaby Centre for MentalHealth and Addiction programs to the Riverviewsite to serve severely addicted and mentally ill(SAMI) patients.CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

PoCo Mayor Greg Moore envisions a day when people won’tneed to remember a bus schedule because the transit networkwill be fully funded and operational.

But for that to happen, the province will need to approve amajor transportation plan conceived of by themayors of Metro Vancouver.

TheMayors’CouncilonRegionalTransportationStrategy calls for a $7.5-billion investment over10 years for projects around the region, whileproposing to reallocate $250 million of theprovince’s carbon tax in the short term.

And that’s pretty much where the tire rubberhits the road.

Moore was hoping the provincial governmentwould accept the entire transit plan, but withinhours of its release, the minister responsible fortransportation had put the kibosh on one majorcomponent.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone told themedia reallocating the carbon tax isn’t going tohappen, but he’s open to a new regional tax, which was alsoproposed by the mayors’ plan.

Moore, who headed the subcommittee that developedthe plan, said he was “challenged” by the minister’s quickresponse.

He said he’d rather the minister receive the strategy andtake time to evaluate the plan.

Moore acknowledged the mayors anticipated the province

would say no to the carbon tax idea, but didn’t want to makeany assumptions as they developed the strategy.

He said by using the carbon tax in the plan, the mayors weretrying to link investing in transit as a way to reduce carbon, thepoint of the tax in the first place.

“We were building the right plan for services and fundingbased on good transportation and transit strategies and goodtaxation methodology,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW.

“This wasn’t a strategy [with a] wish list. This was whatwas essential for meeting the service demand for the growingregion.”

The plan, which must be approved by the province, wouldalso be supported by property taxes — capped at three per

cent — along with new transit fare revenue,tolls on the Pattullo Bridge and $5 millionin cost sharing by the federal and provincialgovernments on major infrastructure projects,including the two rapid transit lines and a newPattullo Bridge.

However, with all the talk of a carbon tax andrapid rail projects, Moore believes a few com-ponents of the strategy aren’t getting enoughattention.

The plan also calls for 11 new B-Line busroutes for the region.

There are currently only three.The PoCo mayor said he sees a B-Line route

from the Evergreen Line in Coquitlam to MapleRidge, possibly with its own lane and a raised

platform, mimicking a rapid transit line. He noted under thestrategy, 75 per cent of people in the region will be withinwalking distance of a frequent bus network.

While politicians grapple with a regional transportationplan, TransLink is looking for input from residents on a 30-year strategy for the Northeast Sector, which includes theTri-Cities.

According to a TransLink press release, the organization

has completed the first two phases of the plan, which includea technical analysis of transit service in the Northeast Sector,while the second phase gathered input on priorities for thetransit network to develop a long-term vision.

The vision seeks to link communities with the transit net-work, improve access to destinations, meet changing traveldemands, expand network coverage and offer direct and easy-to-understand transit routes.

TransLink said in the third phase, the public will have anopportunity to provide feedback on proposed changes toenhance bus routes or improve infrastructure.

Residents can fill out a survey online at www.translink-survey.ca or attend community events, including at the PortCoquitlam Farmers Market in Leigh Square on Thursday, June19 from 3 to 7 p.m.; at Coquitlam Centre on Sunday, June 22from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and at the Golden Spike Days festivalin Port Moody on Tuesday, July 1.

In the old days, if you wanted to dismantlea bridge, you’d blow it up and pick up thepieces in the water afterward.

But times and regulations have changed,and while the old way might be much easier,for obvious reasons it’s not very environment-ally friendly.

So officials behind the Port Mann/Highway1 Improvement project have been tasked withtaking down the old Port Mann, by buildingit in reverse.

On Monday, the Tri-Cities NOW got a peekat the dismantling process up close.

Just like when the bridge was built, sup-ports have been put in place while crews carryout the work, which began at the same timethe new bridge opened at the end of 2012.

The process began with the removal of thebridge’s approaches.

Crews are now removing the bracing fromthe big orange arches and cutting a middlegirder out.

The latter job has separated the steel struc-ture into two pieces.

With the first girders removed, work willproceed to the outside edges. Eventually, thesupports will be removed and crews will worktheir way down the structure.

The pieces of bridge will be lowered on to abarge and taken away.

As much of the material as possible fromthe bridge is being recycled.

Linda Meindersma, the project’s bridge sec-

tion manager, explained that engineers hadto back-calculate all the loads on the bridge todetermine what would work in the dismant-ling process.

“You’re working with a structure that youdon’t have all the calculations for,” she said,suggesting the project is an engineering feat

in reverse.Engineers have been using original blue-

prints from 50 years ago to help in the decon-struction of the old span.

In all, the work is expected to take anothereight to 12 months to complete.

The cost to dismantle the bridge was fac-

tored into the budget of the project, but offi-cials note the work makes up a small portionof the $3.3-billion budget.

The work on the old Port Mann has alsogiven construction crews the opportunity tocontinue finishing the new bridge.

Work on the two last lanes and pedestrian/bike path continues, but a specific date forcompletion hasn’t been determined.

When complete, the two outside lanes,dubbed “local connection lanes,” will be usedfor traffic travelling to and from Coquitlamand Surrey.

MaxLogan,spokespersonforTransportationInvestment Corp., the company in charge ofthe Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement pro-ject, noted that with huge volumes of trafficmoving between the two communities, thelanes will cut down on weaving and maketravel more efficient and safe.

As for traffic volumes, he said bridge use isabout one to two per cent off from this timelast year, before the tolls doubled at the startof the year.

Roughly 110,000 vehicles cross the spaneach day.

Logan said project officials aren’t as focusedon traffic volume, adding there isn’t an idealnumber in mind.

Instead, he said travel times have improved,shaving an hour off a round trip from Langleyto Vancouver.

“For us, the key is making sure it’s safe andefficient and giving people travel time sav-ings,” Logan said.

PoCo Mayor Greg Moore envisions bus service so fre-quent that passengers won’t need a schedule.

This [strategy]was what wasessential formeeting theservice demandfor the growingregion.– Greg Moore


• Creating centres of excellence focused onmental health and addiction, and recoveryand rehabilitation.

• Repurposing some residential cottagesand lodges as long-term supported residentialliving or other rehab service areas.

• Dedicating the area occupied by theHenry Esson Young Education Centre andAdministration Building to research, academ-ic and training activities.

• Supporting both currentand proposed activities onthe site, including filming,museums, amateur radio clubsand BC Ambulance Services.

• Creating a recreation facil-ity and park at the south end ofproperty.

• Restoring heritage andnatural values.

Like the visioning processfinalized in 2005, the plan callsfor no market housing to beplaced anywhere on the site.

“I’ve lived all my life inCoquitlam, a kilometre from Riverview, andI watched the power that this institution had,but also the number of dedicated people whocommitted their lives and careers to the treat-ment of mental illness,” said Mayor RichardStewart. “I know that our community embra-ces mental health treatment. Our communitydoesn’t fear the stigma associated with mentalillness.”

Though no final cost estimates or timelineswere attached to the report, Higenbottam rec-ommends that some money be diverted awayfrom the redevelopment of Royal ColumbianHospital to the Riverview project. The reportalso calls on the ministry of health to re-establish a funding formula for the site basedpartially on past operating budgets.

While some elements of the plan couldtake years, if not decades, to implement,Higenbottam suggests other aspects couldtake shape more quickly. His report recom-mends a short-term acute care hospital, com-plete with an emergency department, ambu-latory care and medical beds, be opened inthe Valleyview 300 building.

In the longer term, the plan envisions apurpose-built hospital in the area near theNorth Lawn Building, alongside a permanent,purpose-built psychiatric hospital.

The report notes the acute care hospitalwould not takes cases of severe trauma, orothers requiring life support — those serviceswould remain at Royal Columbian, which,according to the report, takes proportionatelymore patients from the Tri-Cities than any-where else.

“This hospital will divert a large proportionof patients from Royal Columbian, resultingnot only in much improved services for thecitizens of Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities butalso the citizens of New Westminster,” the

report notes.The proposed education and

training facility is seen as a wayto ensure that training and edu-cation programs remain on thesite in perpetuity. Developedalongside colleges and univer-sities, that aspect of the planwould be housed in the HenryEsson Young and administra-tion offices.

The proposed health andwellness park is touted as botha way to generate revenueand a method of supportingclinical and training activities.

Proposed additions include medical labora-tories and clinics, diagnostic imaging, medicaltechnology and medical supply companies.

Higenbottam’s report denounces themove away from institutionalized care andthe eventual transition to more community-based, smaller-scale models used in the 1980sand 1990s. The ripple effect of those policies,he said, was a spike in policing costs, hospitaladmissions and an increase in the numberof people with the SAMI designation — whodeal simultaneously with both drug addictionand mental health problems. He also sug-gested communities in both Saskatchewanand Ontario are moving back to some formsof the institutionalized model.

“It is now recognized that, despite advan-ces in medical, acute and community mentalhealth care, there remains a significant num-ber of former and new patients who eitherrequire specialized, longer term treatmentthat exceeds the capability of general hospitalpsychiatric units and/or who are so unstablethat even extensive community supports arenot sufficient to allow them to live in the com-munity,” the report states.

BC Housing’s visioning process and openhouses are expected to conclude later thissummer or in the fall.

Coquitlamwantsnewhospital built

Council seeks region-wide incinerator voteJohn [email protected]

Coquitlam council mem-bers seem unanimous intheir opposition to regionalincineration, but disagreedMonday on the best way tovoice that concern.

Coun. Neal Nicholson hadintroduced a notice of motionlast week to solicit residentfeedback on the issue during

November’s municipal elec-tion.

However, his local pitchwas defeated on Monday, andreplaced with a more region-al approach. Council willnow request that a questionbe put to all Lower Mainlandresidents on whether MetroVancouver’s incinerationplans should proceed, along-side the referendum questionthat will gauge voter opinion

on regional transportationfunding.

The move to amendNicholson’s original motionpassed by a 5-4 vote.

Although Nicholson ultim-ately supported changing thewording and purpose of themotion, that’s not to suggesthe thinks it will do much.

Nicholsonopposesincinerator plansnot produce any effective result,” he said.“There will not be a question on any region-wide referendum. However, I look forward tobe proved wrong.”

Coun Mae Reid opposed Nicholson’s ori-ginal motion largely due to cost concerns, andthe belief that the issue should be dealt withat the regional level. Othersfelt the majority of council —and residents in the commun-ity — already oppose the plan,which would make Nicholson’smotion a moot point.

“It is not free,” Reid said. “Itis going to cost us money, sowe are going to spend moneyto put up a question and theanswer that will come backmay make somebody feel good,but it’s sure not going to doanything for us.”

Those in support ofNicholson’s motion, however,argued that addressing the issue locally wouldshow leadership and possibly increase voterturnout.

“I really think this is an opportunity for usto lead by example and really take a stand,”said Coun. Chris Wilson. “I think us askingour citizens their opinions is the purest formof democracy.”

Metro is proposing to build one or morewaste-to-energy plants in a bid to divert 70per cent of recyclables from landfills by 2020,

and 80 per cent by 2030.The idea to have an incinerator burn the

region’s trash has been discussed for the pastdecade, and recent cost estimates suggest thefacility would have a price tag north of $500million.

Metro’s business plan states that it expectsto reap about $100 per megawatt hour for

electricity generated from itsincinerator and sold into theBC Hydro grid.

That price would net theregional district about $28million annually if it opts tobuild a 380,000-tonne cap-acity incinerator by 2019, or$18.9 million for a 250,000-tonne facility.

But that price projection issignificantly higher than thecurrent market spot price forelectricity, which stands atabout $45 per megawatt hour.

That disparity in price, alongwith the advent of new technologies and high-er residential diversion rates, was the motiva-tion behind Nicholson’s original motion.

Coun. Craig Hodge introduced a secondnotice of motion on Monday that seeks amoratorium on Metro’s incineration plan.That motion will be discussed at the June 23council meeting.

Meanwhile, the TransLink referendum onfunding sources is expected to take place atsome point next year.

As far as wish-lists go, theone put together by MetroVancouver’s mayors whenit comes to future transitand transportation improve-

ments is indeed an impressive one.It’s got something for everyone, pretty

much no matter where they live.Take the SeaBus all the time? No

problem, they’ll increase the numberof sailings. Need to travel down WestBroadway in Vancouver? Why, here’s asubway for you, at least part of the way.

Whether you need to cross the FraserRiver, take buses anywhere or get fromA to B in Surrey, the plan has somethingfor you.

But what it doesn’t have, and whatmay be its Achilles Heel, is any certaintywhen it comes to how to pay for all thisstuff. And it’s expensive stuff: $7.5 bil-lion.

Oh, the mayors have come up withsome ideas on the funding front: bridgetolls, road “pricing” (which can be inter-preted in different ways), property taxesand, oh yes, a massive cash injectionfrom “senior” governments might fundeverything.

But one idea — getting $250 mil-lion from the provincial government’scarbon tax revenue — was quickly shotdown by the provincial transportationminister. This was entirely predictableand in fact mayors were signalled thattapping into the provincial carbon taxwas a non-starter, so why it was includ-ed in the revenue grab bag is mystifying.

Of course, the provincial governmentwill have to help fund some part ofwhatever transportation infrastructureplan ultimately comes to fruition inMetro Vancouver but what that trans-lates to remains to be seen (althoughit will be funding a new Massey Bridgeto the tune of about $2 billion, hardlychump change).

After all, improving transportationis vital to economic growth. The move-ment of goods and services aroundthe Metro region is critical to the localeconomy, and it’s in the provincialgovernment’s own interest to help fundthose improvements.

Still, the mayors deserve credit forbeing able to recognize which projectsand needs have priority in the region.Their plan is a long-term one — stretch-ing out for 30 years — and is based on ahuge spike in population size.

Getting them to agree on a grand planis no small feat. For so long, parochialinterests have prevented them fromseeing the need to accommodate eachother’s interests.

But the mayors’ plan raises two keyquestions: is everything in it actuallyneeded, and is it all affordable?

On what’s needed, I suppose one canargue all kinds of significant transpor-tation and transit improvements andinvestments will be “needed” over a longperiod of time.

However, Burnaby Mayor DerekCorrigan seems to be the only one tograsp the key political reality — vot-ers (those who keep these mayors inor out of office) will surely bristle at aplan that threatens to reach deep intotheir wallets, and getting provincial andfederal governments to fork over hugeamounts of cash is a pipe dream.

I’ve written before about the con-

undrum facing the mayors: everyonewants more service, and everyone wantssomeone else — that guy over there inthat car, that person on the bus — topay for it all.

People feel taxed-out, and it will beinteresting to see if the mayors aggres-sively push for their constituents to payfor tolls, road pricing and higher prop-erty taxes to pay for enormously expen-sive infrastructure.

All this is leading to a referendumthat presumably will give voters thechance to say yes or no to a host of taxa-tion and revenue measures. Am I theonly one to think the no side will crushthe yes side?

Reason doesn’t enter into this debate.Most people cannot comprehend thesheer financial enormity of what themayors are proposing, and cling toa belief that a magical solution doesindeed exist, one that sees things builtwithout costing them a nickel more.

Last week’s Ontario electionresult, like the last B.C. elec-tion, serves as a reminder thatsome old assumptions aboutelections have to be chal-

lenged.First, political polling may be a sun-

set industry. A series of polls in the lastcouple of days suggested a statisticaldead heat between the Liberals and theConservatives, and a surge in NDP sup-port. Instead, the Liberals romped to aneasy majority win.

Second, calling a government “scan-dal-plagued” doesn’t seem to hurt its re-election chances. Instead, voters thesedays seem to be wary of change, nomatter how many so-called scandals dogan incumbent government.

Keith Baldrey is chief politicalreporter for Global BC.

Schools are releasing their students for the sum-mer — a couple of weeks ahead of schedule,because of the labour dispute between teachersand their employer.

Add that to increasingly warm weather mak-ing this the most attractive season for outdoor activity,and it’s worth drawing attention to the link between headinjuries and wheels.

Open-air activities involving wheels — including cycling,inline skating and skateboarding — are major contributorsto serious and fatal injuries.

The Canada Safety Council notes that, in 2011, Canadasaw 52 cyclist fatalities. While that’s down from 62 theyear before, according to Transport Canada, it’s a terrible— and avoidable — loss of mostly young lives.

Two-thirds of all fatal bicycle collisions involve the head,and while the most serious incidents have historicallyinvolved cyclists colliding with motor vehicles, vehicularcollisions are involved in less than one in five reportedcycling injuries. Most occur from falls or collisions with sta-tionary objects, other cyclists or pedestrians.

Statistics are less readily available with regards to skate-boarding and inline skating, but the risks are self-evidentwhen it comes to travelling at decent speeds with minimalprotection.

A 2012 study in the Canadian Medical AssociationJournal found that cyclists who do not wear a helmet arethree times more likely to suffer fatal brain trauma thanthose who do.

Cycling helmets are best when riding a bicycle or usinginline skates. Skateboarding helmets are specificallydesigned to protect more of the back of the head.

And both work best when they’re kept in good condition.Just a heads-up for those who want summer to stay fun.

BELCARRA SOUTH LIVES UPTOMETRO’S IDEALS

Metro Vancouver’s philosophy statement declares that itseeks to achieve “social justice and compassion,” “a beauti-ful and healthy natural environment” and to “be collabora-tive.”

Our Belcarra South community, which has existed sincebefore Parks bought the land, is being threatened with evic-tion at the end of June. We have provided decades of goodstewardship and security for Belcarra South. Recognizingthis, our local municipal governments, Port Moody andBelcarra, have been generous in their support, for which weare very thankful.

As we are embedded in a forest near the sea it makesone wonder whether there could be any community in theLower Mainland more “natural” while also fulfilling theideal of “social justice” through affordable housing.

Our community of seven homes requires that we findsolutions in a truly collaborative way. Our Fraser Health-approved water system that we maintain ourselves is oneexample.

We are achieving the kind of ideals Metro Vancouverclaims to seek. They could be heroes of their own philoso-phy. The Belcarra South community should rather be seenas a vision of the future — affordable, sustainable andenvironmentally sound — not something from the past tobe dismantled and forgotten. Everyone is welcome to signour petition at belcarrasouth.ca.

STUDENTS AIRTHEIR VIEWSONDISPUTE

An open letter to PremierChristy Clark:

We are writing you this letterto voice our opinion to you aboutwhat you are doing to the teach-ers of British Columbia. We knowyou may never read this letter butwe believe that if you want some-thing to change then you have togo out and do something aboutit and that’s exactly what we aredoing.

We should probably introduceourselves — our names are OliviaDawson and Krystina Wade, weboth attend Riverside Secondaryin School District 43 and we arecurrently at the end of our Grade9 year. Now you are probablythinking, what do these kids evenknow about what’s going on butwe feel like we have a differentview on this than most peoplebecause our moms are teachers.

We strongly believe that whatyou are doing to the teachers iswrong in so many ways. First,you cut their pay 10 per cent thenyou tell them that besides schoolhours they can only be on schoolproperty 45 minutes beforeschool and 45 minutes after. They

can’t take their work home, theycan’t do report cards at homeand they can’t prepare lessons athome but you still want them allto do these things.

You may have realized, ormaybe you didn’t, but this strikeis affecting students’ educations.You may not have intended this,but this is what is happening.Students who need extra helpcan’t get it now because teach-ers can’t help us at lunch. Youmay say, well, they can help youduring class. Well, there are atleast 28 other kids in the class.How are teachers supposed togive every one of us the helpthat we need? Well, now youmay argue, you can go see themafter or before school in the 45minutes, but that’s when teach-ers are marking things, makinglesson plans or talking to par-ents because that’s all the timeyou give them to do this sincethey can’t take it home to mark.Students are not getting the helpthey need and who is at fault?Not the teachers, but the govern-ment for locking them out! Howis it fair that with final examscoming up we can’t get the helpthat we need, or the help that wedeserve? Again, who is at fault?Well, let me give you a hint: it isnot the teachers.

Teachers want to be there tohelp their students, teachers wantto see their students be success-ful and give them the extra helpthey deserve, but how can theydo this when the government isnot allowing them? The govern-ment thinks that teachers workfrom 8 to 3 every day, but that isnot true. Teachers put so muchof their own time into mark-ing, planning lessons and justhelping kids but now because ofyour poor decisions our teach-ers and own mothers can’t dothese things. We care about ourteachers and we are tired of themhaving to deal with overcrowdedclassrooms, too many kids whoneed extra help in one class, notenough supplies and not enoughsupport from the government.Families are suffering becauseof the lack of money and the 10-per-cent cut did nothing to helpthem out.

What affects our teachersaffects us too. You are alwayssaying we need something differ-ent and you are absolutely right.Maybe we should start with anew premier. You are sacrificingour education to save money. Yousign cheques for private schoolsall the time so you increase fund-ing for them but not for publicschools. I wonder if that has any-

thing to do with the fact your sonattends a private school, that youpay $18,000 for him to attend.

We care about our education,and it’s not fair for you, as thegovernment who is supposed totalk for the people and respectus as citizens, to come in anddowngrade what my educationis. Us kids, we are the future, andsooner than you think it’s goingto be our generation’s turn to takeover and without the proper edu-cation this world and this countryare just going to go downhill.So years from now when thiscountry’s public education systemis a mess there will be one thingto blame, and that is the govern-ment.

The Tri-Cities Seniors PlanningNetwork will host a transportationforum called “Getting You Where YouWant to Go,” on Thursday, June 26.

Network chair King Lum said theforum is a way to bring togethergroups and organizations that pro-vide transportation to seniors.

His group is finding that some sen-iors are isolated because they don’t

have access to affordable or appropri-ate transportation.

In some cases, they can’t drive any-more and depend on public transit orfriends, which aren’t always options.

The day-long forum will includespeakers from ICBC talking aboutdriver re-examinations, and fromTransLink discussing the CompassCard and HandyDART.

Also invited are transportationplanners from Coquitlam, PoCo andPort Moody, along with TransLink’s

North East Area Sector planner to talkabout how the region is preparing tomeet transportation needs in growingcommunities.

King said his group wants to engageseniors so they become more activeand less isolated.

“We believe a lot of seniors havea lot of ideas to give, but unfortu-nately it’s hard for some of them toget around when they no longer candrive,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW.

He’s also hoping his group can get

direction from seniors to help influ-ence transportation decision-making.

The forum will also feature anexpo of businesses and organizationswhose work supports seniors.

The forum will be held at theEagle Ridge Bible Fellowship, at 1160Lansdowne Dr. in Coquitlam, from 10a.m. to 4 p.m.

Seating is limited, so registration isrecommended online at www.tinyurl.com/TCseniorsforum, or call 604-529-5116 for more information.

A popular boat launch anddock at a Coquitlam park hasbeen closed indefinitely.

The city has shut downthe dock at Maquabeak Park,deeming it unsafe for use,and announced the closureon Monday.

Signs alerting residents of

the closure went up last week,after a segment of the dockcollapsed into the water.

The city’s parks manager,Kathleen Reinheimer, attrib-uted the damage to the dockto the cumulative impact oflogs and debris floating downthe river and jamming intothe structure.

“We’ve been having a lotof logs smash into it one way

or another,” she told the Tri-Cities NOW on Monday.

The wooden dock was ori-ginally installed in 1979 and,as the only public boat launchfacility on the local stretchesof both the Fraser and Pittrivers, has been heavily usedby recreational boaters.

However, due to construc-tion projects in the area,Reinheimer said the boat

launch hasn’t been utilized asmuch as in previous years.

The city noted considera-tion will be given to a range ofoptions for repair or replace-ment, with options and costestimates to be presented tocouncil later this year.

But for now, the dockremains behind yellow tapeand warning signs.

EYEWEAR OUTLET OPTICALPlease be advised that the advertisementin the Tri-Cities Now on June 13, 2014,Page 40 (Back Page) has an expiry date

When the local election season kicks off thisfall, Port Moody residents will still see candi-date signs in public places, just not as many.

On June 10, council approved a new elec-tion bylaw that will allow civic candidates topost campaign signs at 10 public locationsthroughout the city.

There were 18 such locations used in pastelections.

However, the bylaw differs from the sugges-tions made by an election task force a coupleof years back, which recommended prohibit-ing all campaign signs on public property.

The task force recommended campaignsigns be replaced with “election awareness”signs, which would include information onthe election date and times and voting places.

However, a staff report noted banning elec-tion signs on public property could lead toa court challenge on the basis of it being anexcessive restriction on freedom of expres-sion. The city still intends to go ahead withposting the election awareness signs.

The city’s restrictions do not apply to signson private property.

A more hotly debated issue around thecouncil table was the recommendation forthe city to facilitate a candidate brochuremailout.

The idea is to give candidates a one-timeopportunity to pay for a brochure, created bya third party, that would be sent to residentsthrough the city’s mailing system.

The cost per candidate would be $600.Candidates could also choose not to take

part in the mailout.Some councillors like Rick Glumac argued

the brochures could help candidates withlower profiles.

But two councillors were opposed to theidea.

Coun. Gerry Nuttall argued the city isn’t inthe business of promoting candidates and themailout could show favouritism or even endup leading to legal action.

“We’re heading into dangerous groundhere,” he said.

Coun. Bob Elliott agreed, suggesting if can-didates don’t have the money they shouldn’trun, noting the brochures also take away fromthe work of door knocking.

Mayor Mike Clay defended the changes tothe election rules, suggesting they help keepbig political parties with lots of money fromtaking over.

When asked if there’s a conflict in councildeciding rules around aspects of the localelection, he argued council is obligated tomake sure the campaign is fair.

“I don’t think there is anything prohibitivein what we’re doing,” Clay said.

Though the mayor acknowledged the signrestrictions could be seen as prohibitive, hedoubts anyone would vote for someone basedon a sign.

“I don’t think we’re proposing anything thatwould give incumbents an advantage,” hesaid, adding a sign on private property wouldlikely have more effect on voters.

City staff are expected to report back tocouncil with the details and implications ofthe brochure mailout initiative.

Concert celebrates nature

John [email protected]

Whether it’s spiritually ormentally, nature has alwaysbeen J Peachy’s happy place.

It’s that love of the out-doors that serves as themotivation behind a con-cert Peachy is organizing fortomorrow (Thursday, June19) called Music For MotherNature Night.

The evening will featureentertainers from through-out B.C.’s south coast comingtogether to share their com-mon love of the outdoors,while also calling attention tomental health issues.

A Port Moody-based visualartist, Peachy was diagnosedwith bipolar disorder in 2004.The stress of a fast-paced lifeand demanding career in thehigh-tech sector saw his lifespiral out of control: he lefthis job, lost his house, gota divorce and was commit-ted to the psychiatric ward atRoyal Columbian Hospital.

“Basically my mind explod-ed,” Peachy said. “It was awhole cascading of events,in terms of my lifestyle. It allkind of fell apart.”

While in the hospital,Peachy took art therapy ses-sions to help turn his lifearound. Outside of art, Peachyalso spent more time outside,particularly in the area nearPort Moody’s Mossom Creek.

“Having grown up in theTri-Cities, nature has alwaysbeen something I can fall backon,” he said. “Really immers-ing myself in nature helpedme through my struggles.”

Although he’s not a musi-cian, Peachy will serve as theartistic director and organ-izer behind Thursday’s show.Acts on the bill include HollyArntzen, Kevin Wright,Corrina Keeling and EmilyMolloy.

Martin Sparrow of theMusqueam First Nation willopen the show with a per-formance and indigenousdrumming.

“Mental health issues arecontinually in the news, andso it’s important that we ele-

vate this cause,” Peachy said.“For me, nature and musicare very therapeutic.”

Doors for Thursday’s showopen at 6:30 p.m. and theshow kicks off at 7 p.m. at theInlet Theatre.

Tickets are $15 at the dooror $10 in advance, and canbe purchased at the SuterBrook branch of Vancity,Inlet Seafoods and PastaPolo. Online tickets can bepurchased at www.music-formothernature.eventbrite.ca.

Haveyou seen thismissing teddybear?John [email protected]

Admittedly, it’s almost liketrying to find a needle in ahaystack.

But Pitt Meadows momTamara Beedle is hoping forthe best in her search for P.J.

Beedle’s three-year-old sonP.J. lost his teddy bear, alsonamed P.J., at the Teddy BearPicnic at Town Centre Parkon Sunday, June 8.

The loss has reverberatedthroughout the Beedle house-hold, as P.J.’s five-year-oldsister Lilly made the bear forher younger sibling aroundthe time he was born.

“She’s almost more upsetthan he is,” Beedle said.

“And every time someonecomes to our door, [my son]

starts crying because we toldhim that P.J. is going to findhis way home.”

P.J. is actually more puppythan bear.

He’s brown, with a whitepatch over his right eye andfloppy ears.

Beedle believes he wentmissing somewhere betweenthe park and the Town Centrefire hall, where her husbandworks.

“We were so used to seeinghim with it at the picnic andthere were so many teddybears around,” Beedle said.

“It’s like a sea of teddybears.”

Anyone with informationabout P.J. is asked to [email protected].

The Golden Boot Caffé, located at the corner of Ridgeway and Nelson in Coquitlam,

has been in existence since August 1997. From the very beginning, owner-chef

David Azzi has emphasized that he was not incompetition with fast-food outlets,

nor with restaurants that placed more importance on quantity than quality.

For that reason the food served at the Golden Boot Caffé, whether it be the pasta,

the sauces, or the desserts, is homemade.

David Azzi acquired his penchant for Italian cooking from his three Italian aunts,

Tina Brunoro, Nia Galassini, and Lea Bortoluzzi.

With this experience he decided to open his own restaurant in his

hometown of Coquitlam. Thus the Golden Boot Caffé was formed.

Howdoyoupaybackunconditional love?

In Homer’s Iliad,Odysseus commandshis crew to tie him tohis ship’s mast so thathe can hear the beauti-

ful but tempting song of theSirens.

With their ears covered,the crew has been ordered toignore Odysseus’ demandswhen he is under the influ-ence of the Sirens.

In psychiatry, a patientwith bipolar disorder mayrequest an Odysseus contractwhereby he agrees to beadmitted if he is manic andunable to make appropri-ate decisions for himself. Inother words, he tells his fam-ily and doctor, “Don’t do as Isay when I am not of soundmind.”

I wonder if Homer waswarning us of the pitfalls oflust and love. Perhaps youngpeople should not be allowedto marry when they aremadly in love.

Before they sign their livesaway at the end of the wed-ding ceremony, they shouldat least produce a doctor’snote certifying that they arecapable of making rationaldecisions.

Joseph Goldstein hascalled infatuation and desirethe near enemy of love, andby love, I mean unconditionallove — agape, metta, loving-kindness or brotherly love.

The former is obsessiveand possessive. It seeks totake, to hold and control.Unconditional love is giving,forgiving and letting go.

Pleasure and the satisfac-tion of our material wantsare worldly counterfeitsof true happiness. Unlikeenduring happiness, they

soon give way to emptinessand disappointment. So toodo infatuation and desire— counterfeits of real love —give way to disappointment,disillusionment and ill will.

It’s OK to enjoy a deliciousmeal, a cup of coffee and arelaxing massage but don’texpect pleasure alone to giveyou a complete and meaning-ful life.

It’s OK to fall in love aswe all do, but that alone isnot enough to sustain mean-ingful relationships over alifetime.

Romantic love is a lensthat creates a distorted imageof another, magnifying posi-tive qualities and blurring therough edges that will laterprickle us. Unconditionallove allows you to see andaccept the whole, appreciatebeauty and genuinely wantthe best for the other.

My children have taughtme how to love uncondition-ally. Becoming a father andholding in my arms a help-less and beautiful child whois completely dependent onparental care has helped megrow in love.

As each of my childrengrow, stumble, fall and suc-ceed, the most importantthing that I can teach themis that I see the best in themand love them completely

just as they are.Sometimes as parents,

our children may feel thatour love is dependent ontheir innate qualities or theirbehaviour and, being human,egos can get in the way andwe may love imperfectly. Butin the end, the well-being ofour children takes preced-ence over our own.

Real happiness and themeaning in our lives comefrom our relationships. Thepurpose of our lives is toaccept love and learn to lovemore fully. We are given alifetime.

My parents surroundedtheir three children withlove. They saw the best inus and this inspired us to beour best, and their circle ofconcern extended far beyondour family.

Love is limitless. Unlike itsnear enemy that can only begiven to few and for a limitedtime, our love can extend andbenefit many even beyondour lifetimes.

When I think of ourpotential for love, I use themetaphor of the water cycle.Water is a key constituent ofour bodies and we share itwith the whole world. Wateris excreted and evaporatesfrom our bodies. Water con-denses into clouds. It fallsas rain and snow. It flows inrivers to lakes and oceans.We drink it and it sustainsphysical life.

Throughout our lives, we

receive love in many formsfrom countless people. Wedepend on the kindnessof strangers, our teachers,coaches, parents, mentors,friends and the people of thepast who have worked to cre-ate the places we live in andthe systems that sustain ourlives.

Love is not ours to keep forourselves or share with just afew. It has been freely givento us to give out and giveforward.

In your life, what gifts,great or small, have youreceived that you cannotfully give back? How are youpaying this forward?

Kids experience thesekinds of adventures and awhole lot more at Qwanoes,nestled beside MapleMountain on a quiet bay inCrofton in the heart of the

Outdoor activities rule at CampQwanoesQwanoes has grown for 25 summers, and

campers return year after year.“We love kids,” shared Bayley. “And our desire

is to provide one unforgettable week. Our staffmake such a difference — our campers lovethem!”

Qwanoes always seems to find ways to addnew adventures and make each week extra spe-cial.

Bayley explains that last year, staff added the“Sky Station” to the camp’s challenge course.

“We’re taking linked elements to a whole newlevel. Kids loved it. This summer we’re taking it

even higher with a new Level Three. A few sum-mers ago we added a concrete skate park. Thingslike a floating super-slide, wakeboarding, rockwall climbing, a high ropes course, mountainboarding — we have about 75 activities in all.

“I know that our staff team of almost 200 …can’t wait to welcome our campers this summer!”

Qwanoes is a Christian camp, and an idealplace for fun-filled, life-changing adventure. Allare welcome and there are still spaces availablefor summer.

LeaveYour LegacyThere are many ways to give to charity, ensuring you continue tosupport a cause that is important to you beyond your lifetime.A giftto Crossroads Hospice Society will help to ensure that hospice careremains a vital part of our community. Here are a few ideas for yourconsideration:

BequestsA bequest established in yourWill may be a good choice if you want tomake a one-time gift to Crossroads Hospice Society after you pass away,while providing a tax credit for your estate.

Charitable RemainderTrustsWith a charitable remainder trust, you contribute assets during yourlifetime to an irrevocable living trust.You receive an immediate taxcredit and ongoing income generated by assets within the trust. On yourpassing, the initial capital goes directly to Crossroads Hospice Society,bypassing probate.

Donating Life InsuranceYou can donate a life insurance policy on your passing by namingCrossroads Hospice Society as the beneficiary.The proceeds go directlyto the charity, bypassing probate, and your estate will get a donation taxreceipt for the insurance proceeds paid to Crossroads.

Private FoundationsPrivate foundations provide the greatest flexibility in charitable giving.You can donate a wide range of assets to a foundation and control howthey are managed and dispersed to charities.

Donor-Advised FundsIf you want to make an enduring gift, but don’t have the time neededto manage a private foundation, donor-advised fund may appeal to you.You receive a donation receipt equal to the value of the assets youdonate to a fund administered by a registered public foundation.You canrecommend how contributions are managed and which charities receivegrants, subject to the foundation’s final approval.

Get QualifiedAdviceBefore deciding how to give to any charity, be sure to get qualified taxand legal advice.

New foosball tablespopular at city parkJohn [email protected]

An age-old offshoot of thebeautiful game has found anew home in Coquitlam.

A pair of foosball tableswas recently installed atTown Centre Park, in an areasituated near the park’s pingpong tables.

The city looked acrossthe pond for the inspirationbehind the move, as foosballtables in outdoor parks arebecoming commonplace inparts of Europe.

“It’s a little unusual, but it’sthe kind of thing that’s gen-erational and people reallygravitate towards to it,” saidKathy Reinheimer, the city’smanager of parks. “When weget multi-generational users,grandparents bringing theirlittle ones and being able toplay, it augments that senseof people having things theycan do together in the park.”

Reinheimer said the tablesare built predominantly outof steel and concrete, andare virtually weather proof.

They’re also sprayed withgraffiti-resistant coating.

“It’s designed and builtto withstand anything,” shesaid. “It’s very heavy, so itwould be very hard to dam-age in any way.”

Reinheimer’s been told thetables are a Canadian first— at least in a park — though

she hasn’t been able to ver-ify that claim. What she cansay with certainty, however,is that the uptake around thegame has been swift.

“I’ve been quite surprisedhow quickly people havestarted using it, both in termsof playing and watching,” shesaid. “It was right away.”

TownCentrefield isgetting anupgrade

Town Centre North Field at Coquitlam’sTown Centre Park is under construction andbeing converted to an artificial turf surface,the city announced Tuesday.

The North Field is currently a large naturalgrass playing area that has traditionally beenused for soccer and baseball. When com-pleted, the new field will include more than13,500 square metres of artificial turf andnew lighting to increase its hours of use.

The aim is to provide a flexible practice andtraining field for soccer and baseball.

The new turf surface will be built withoutany permanent game lines or pitch perim-eters, other than an encompassing boundary

line in order to facilitate these sports, variousage groups, various practice configurationsand field sizes.

The North Field will have strong connec-tions to the existing Cunnings Field to thewest, and will continue to be served by park-ing lots to the east and southwest and theupper parking lot to the northwest.

Short-term disruptions to parking and ped-estrian connections are expected to be min-imal, with pedestrians being re-routed.

The work is anticipated to wrap up byOctober, in time for the soccer season.

Play a Round for LiteracyAt Pacific Coast Terminals, literacy is everyone’s business. Statistics shows that a whopping 40%of British Columbians have trouble with basic literacy activities like reading medical forms orfilling out a job application. For those in the workforce, this means that many employees may notunderstand vital safety bulletins or important task instructions. Others may be cut off from careeropportunities because they lack the literacy knowledge needed to build new skills.

As a presenting sponsor for Port Moody Public Library’s 14th Annual Links to Literacy GolfTournament, Pacific Coast Terminals is taking a stand for literacy. On Tuesday August 26th, youare invited to join them for a fun day of golf, gourmet food and entertainment at the beautifulMeadow Gardens Golf Club in Pitt Meadows.

PCT understands that workers need strong literacy skills in order to complete their tasks, takeon new responsibilities and advance their careers. “We support the Links to Literacy tournamentbecause we want all members of our community to have the skills they need to succeed,” saysWade Leslie, Vice President & General Manager. “We’re proud to be part of a community thatcares about helping others and we can’t wait to see you on the links.”

Golf tournament proceeds fund a range of library-related literacy initiatives in the community.These include study rooms, language learning kits to build early literacy skills, a Reading Linkpartnership with local schools and a Digital Early Learning Hub. Proceeds from this year’stournament will support the creation of a digital creation station in the library. For tournamentticket prices and details, contact the Library at 604-469-4577 or check the library’s website atwww.library.portmoody.ca/links.

Persistence is a powerful tool.The Coquitlam Adanacs are just

glad to attest to its success.The Western Lacrosse

Association club tallied four timesin the third period to knock off theNew Westminster Salmonbellies 8-7 on Saturday.

Labelled “as close to a must-wingame” as possible by head coachBob Salt, the matchup pitted twostruggling squads eager for somefresh traction.

The Adanacs had lost fourstraight after opening the seasonwith a win over Langley, whileNew West was looking to end atwo-game skid.

Only one team would be suc-cessful.

With 49 shots on goal, Coquitlamheld an edge in possession most ofthe contest. Unlike in past endeav-ours, fortunately, the A’s shooterswere finding the holes.

Trailing 4-1 after 20 minutes,the A’s got markers from TravisCornwall and Daryl Veltman tostart the middle frame. WhileColton Clark would net New West’sfifth goal of the game — a short-

handed tally — Coquitlam wouldend the period on a high note, withRyan Keith making it 5-4 with 20minutes to play.

But the final period didn’t startout too promising, as JordanMcBride restored the Bellies’ two-goal lead 2:41 into the third.

Just 42 seconds later, however,Veltman would spark Coquitlam’scomeback with a goal, set up byteam scoring leader Brett Hickey.

The Windsor, Ont. native wouldalso draw an assist on rookieVincent Ricci’s first goal of the sea-son, then continue the rally withthe equalizer at 8:59 into the per-iod.

Matt Dinsdale would net whatwould stand up as the winner, with8:38 left in regulation.

While New West would closethe gap when PoCo native MartinCummings pocketed his eighth ofthe year, Coquitlam’s defence heldits ground the rest of the way.

Adam Shute finished with 23saves, while Neil Tyacke turnedaside 41 in the Bellies net.

The Adanacs host Langley onSaturday, 7 p.m. at the PoirierSports Centre, before headingacross Georgia Straight to playNanaimo on Sunday.

“The ball is now in Golf Canada’s corner to take it up withtheir sponsors.”

ADANACS, BELLIES IN SHOWDOWNThe game of leapfrog is beginning to build some World Cup

soccer-like drama.The Coquitlam Adanacs restored their one-point lead over

the New Westminster Salmonbellies for top spot in the B.C.Junior A Lacrosse League, thanks to an overwhelming 20-5trouncing of visiting Nanaimo on Sunday.

Led by Wes Berg’s seven-point performance — includinghis second straight four-goal game — the Adanacs stormed toa 5-2 lead and poured nine goals in during the second periodto go ahead 14-4. Evan Wortley netted three goals and threeassists, while Brett Kujala and Tyler Pace each scored a pair ofgoals and five helpers.

Twelve different players registered goals in the game, asCoquitlam stayed one-point up on New Westminster with a13-1-1 record.

First place is on the line tonight (Wednesday), as theAdanacs host New West, 7:30 p.m. at the Poirier Street rink.
