Fire hall approved Slimmed down version approved by Port Moody council in narrow vote

By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

names on a padlock, fasten the lock to a railing or fence and then throw away the key as a symbol of their bond — is popular around the world.

It was even popular with Port Moody council as recently as May 24 when councillors voted unanimously in favour of installing a love locks railing somewhere in the city.

After months of debate at Port Moody city hall and a very public spat with the city’s firefighters union, Port Moody city council narrowly voted Tuesday to build a new $11-million Port Moody Fire Department headquarters close to its present site.

The 4-3 vote saw councillors Mike Clay, Diana Dilworth and Bob Elliott come out against the plan from the city’s specially appointed fire hall task force. The plan calls for the city to borrow up to $9 million next year to build a new threestorey Fire Hall No. 1 on a wedge of land between Ioco Road, Newport Drive and Knowle Street.

The plan, approved by councillors Meghan Lahti, Gerry Nuttall, Karen Rockwell and Mayor Joe Trasolini, allows for $2 million to be spent from the city’s land-sale and development reserves to cover the remaining building costs.

The city now has six months and $1 million to finalize detailed building designs before site-preparation is slated to begin in January 2012, with construction to begin the following June.

Those councillors who very nearly voted down the new fire hall plan said they were not opposed to building a new hall per se, but were skeptical of some details in the plan like the hall’s proposed location and budget.

Before the vote, those councillors — Clay, Dilworth and Eilliott — questioned the task force’s expertise in assessing building costs for fire services and suggested that changing plans for the fire hall after Port Moody voters had already approved a $16-million loan to build a replacement hall on the current Ioco Road and Murray Street location, made the referendum a waste of time.

PoMo ends flirtation with Love Locks

In a dramatic change of heart, Port Moody city council voted Tuesday not to go ahead with a plan to install a “love locks” railing in the city, after staff recommended the planned lovers’ monument be moved from the Rocky Point pier to Pioneer Park.

Residents pitch-in to combat vandalism With summer underway vandalism incidents are expected to increase

THE NUMBERS Yearly vandalism costs (glass and graffiti) for the months July to the following June

By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Tim Kelley lives near a school and he knows the sound of trouble brewing. If he hears the sound of clinking glass, he leaps to a window to see what’s going on and he hopes Tri-City residents will do the same this summer.

Vandalism is as common in summer as sunshine and the beach, although Kelley wishes it were not, but if people call Vandal Watch before damage occurs parks and schools won’t suffer unduly this year.

“When schools are empty they are more vulnerable and when people are out problems start to occur,” says Kelley, the Vandal Watch coordinator for Port C o q u i t l a m a n d S ch o o l District 43.

If people see or hear something happening at their local school, Kelley wants them to immediately phone the Vandal Watch tip line. It’s anonymous as well as confidential and the response is quick, said Kelley.

A security patrol should be at the trouble spot within 20 minutes to encourage people to move along before any damage is done.

“What we’re hoping people will do when it [trouble] does sort of reveal itself is rather than turn up the TV they make a phone call,” Kelley said, noting that the

In anticipation of a busy summer, Kelley has been contacting 60 Vandal Watch groups in the area to remind them to be alert to activity at their schools and reminding them about the tip-line.

He doesn’t expect vandalism to be worse than any other summer. On the contrary, vandalism has been on

the decline in School District 43 for the past few years.

Vandal Watch, which is a joint initiative of the parks and recreation department of the city of Port Coquitlam and SD43, has been work-

ing with RCMP and city and school officials for the past few months to identify challenges and come up with some solutions.

Ken Niven, an SD43 employee who is also the current president of the Vandal Watch Society, said several initiatives will be undertaken this summer to cut down on vandalism. In addi-

“The runners will be asking groups of youth to be moving along with the goal of breaking cycles of activity at certain schools,” Niven said.

Although vandalism this year is roughly on par

with last year, some schools were harder hit than others and patrols will be targeting those areas, he said.

For example, Minnekhada middle, which had 13 windows broken in one week in February, will get a lighting upgrade on the south side of the school where most of the problems happen.

The district also plans to improve sightlines at some schools by clearing underbrush and removing garbage bins.

Coq. industrial land sales, leasing slow But high prices reflect industrial land scarcity in the Coquitlam

MOVES

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

With economic uncertainty and major road construction in the Highway 1 corridor, industrial property tenants in Coquitlam are taking a wait-and-see approach to extending their leases or expanding their operations.

Ben Lutes, an associate of industrial sales and leasing with commercial real estate services company Avison Young, said the market has remained relatively static over the last six to nine months. “We hear again and again that a lot of people are holding off on making a decision in the short term,� he said. “A lot of tenants are renewing their leases one year at time.�

While heavy construction activity for the Port Mann/Highway 1 project has hampered lease activity in the short term, Lutes believes that once the work is done things could pick up.

When the work is complete traffic congestion is expected to

Completion of the Port Mann/Highway 1 project could make the United Boulevard industrial area more attractive to commercial tenants. ease, giving businesses located in the United Boulevard industrial area easy access to both the Fraser Valley and downtown Vancouver. “Right now driving through the construction everyday... is not helping leasing activity,� he said. “But there is optimism as to how it will open up the area.

[When construction is complete] it will be easier and more efficient for them to move in and out of Coquitlam.�

An Avison Young report noted several significant industrial land sales transactions in the Tri-Cities. Wheeler Transport, for merly based in Port Moody,

moved to a property at 1650 Hartley Avenue, paying close to $5 million for a 17,000 sq. ft. building.

The report noted that the high price showed the scarcity of industrial land in the Coquitlam area, adding that prices generally range between $1 million to $1.2 million an acre. Uni-Select Pacific began a lease of a 97,000 sq. ft. property on Glacier Street after moving its distribution facility from Burnaby.

The report also said that virtually all of Coquitlam’s industrial land is developed, with just 36 acres remaining vacant at the time of the report.

Industrial building sales activity in Coquitlam between Jan. and May 2011: • 1501 Hartley Ave. (15,663 sq. ft) sold for $2,375,000 • Fraser Reach Business Centre (2,537 sq. ft.) sold for $410,000 • 1650 Hartley Ave. (17,040 sq. ft.) sold for $4,995,000 • School House B u s i n e s s P a rk (1,359 st. ft.) sold for $300,000

Business owner wants Evergreen compensation

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

When Hong Lee learned in 2007 that the Evergreen Line alignment ran right through the property where his business is located, he knew it was only a matter of time before he had to move.

What he didn’t realize, however, is that because he does not own the building where he operates his Jiffy Lube franchise, he would not be compensated for his trouble. Lee said he needs the money in order to start a new franchise elsewhere.

“It was shocking,” he said. “I can’t sleep.

There is so much stress.

My feeling now is desperate.”

Lee had cooperated with TransLink officials, providing financial statements and lease information and even attended several Evergreen Line open houses. Up until last

GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Hong Lee said TransLink has told him he will not be receiving compensation for his business, which is in the way of the proposed Evergreen Line. month he was under the impression that he would be receiving compensation for his business, money he said he

should be entitled to regardless of whether he owns the property.

Jiffy Lube Canada has offered him a new

location, but at a cost of more than $150,000 in moving expenses and franchise fees, he said it is unlikely he will be able to start anew. After ten years of building his Clarke Road business, Lee said he could be left with nothing.

Lee, who used his lifesavings to purchase the franchise when he first immigrated to Canada, was supposed to have vacated the premises at the end of June. But with nowhere go, he said he would need more time, and was hopeful some kind of resolution would be forthcoming.

“I have to live,” he said. “What can I do?”

A r e p r e s e n t a t ive of the Ministry of Transportation told The Tri-City News that officials would be looking into the issue. To date, however, there has been no payout and no agreement between the government and the landlord has been signed. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Summertime means more cops

By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

‘Tis the season for heightened policing, the Coquitlam RCMP warn.

The local Mounties said Thursday that officers would be stepping up patrols of summer hotspots like Anmore, Belcarra and Buntzen Lake, enforcing open liquor and fishing license laws while educating people about safety and crime prevention.

The Mounties also warned they would be out on their police boat patrolling Indian Arm and Pitt Lake, ensuring that boaters have proper safety equipment, obey speed limits and right-of-ways and are not consuming alcohol while operating vessels.

Coquitlam RCMP spokesperson Const. Kristina Biro said in a release Thursday that Coquitlam Mounties would also be pulling out their bikes again to patrol area trails, parks and

popular recreation spots.

Biro said that the Mounties’ “positive pass” program would also return this year. It’s a partnership between the police and the cities of Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam that started in 2008 as the cornerstone of the RCMP’s youth strategy.

Intended to foster positive interactions between RCMP and youth, the program sees local police distributing coupons for free swims and gym drop-ins at local recreation centres.

Notice of Public Consultation Zoning Bylaw Amendment - Personal and Health Services Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment The City of Port Coquitlam is considering an amendment to the Zoning Bylaw to permit limited amount of personal and health services within large format commercial buildings located on properties with Highway Commercial land use designation in the OfÀcial Community Plan. Personal services include hair salons and barbershops, aestheticians, optometrists, photography studios, shoe and watch repairs, tailors and dressmakers, dry cleaners and laundries. Health services refer to medical ofÀces.

The City invites the community to provide written comments on the proposed bylaw amendment and ask that these be received by July 15th, 2011. Should the proposal proceed to Bylaw consideration, there will be further opportunity for public comment at a scheduled Public Hearing (date to be determined).

Large item collection OK’d PoMo hands contract to Smithrite

By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody is going private with its largeitem garbage collection after canceling its annual $65,000 spring clean-up program late last year.

City council voted Tuesday to enter into a 16-month contract with waste management company Smithrite Disposal

to handle all large-item pickup in the city beginning after Labour Day weekend in September.

The contract to remove couches, mattresses and anything else too big for regular waste pickup is to be reviewed annually for potential renewal.

C o u n . M i ke C l ay voiced strong objections to the contract, saying he does not believe it is the city’s job to mediate between a resident requiring pickup and a private company.

Coun. Dilworth said

the Smithrite contract wo u l d m o s t l i ke l y evolve over time as the city studied what kind of services Port Moody residents were using.

Objections aside, Clay joined all other councillors in unanimously approving the Smithrite contract, whose services will be advertised in a mailout to Port Moody residents in September.

Costs for pickup per item are as follows: - All furniture excluding items with glass $75 - Appliances - $50

W

NE

- Toilets, barbecue grills (propane tanks excluded) and push mowers (oil and gas removed) - $35 - Electronics and Computers (up to 3 items together) - $35 Mattresses and box springs - $40 T h e c i t y ’ s Environmental Protection Committee will also look at hosting free large-item drop-off days at area recreation centres to help residents dispose of unwanted goods. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Port Moody council has approved the construction of an $11 million replacement for Fire Hall No. 1 on this corner of Ioco Road and Newport Drive. It will take approximately two years to build and could be open by the summer of 2013. will walk out of this job before I do what is politically expedient.”

Po r t M o o dy f i r e fighters will remain in the Fire Hall No.1 building until the anticipated two-year completion of the new hall in the summer of 2013. At that point, the current hall will be boarded up and left vacant for a future city council to decide what to do with the city-owned land.

That decision not to demolish the existing hall was one of the cost-cutting measures that contributed to the $5-million savings. In leaving the old hall untouched, the city will not have to spend an estimated $700,000 for a temporary fire hall and also counts among its savings the removal of a previous demolition budget to tear down the old hall, something which the

city will have to shell o u t f o r eve n t u a l l y, however.

Other cost-saving measures include $1.6 million recouped by shaving 5,000 sq. ft. from the original building design, including axing plans for a second conference room and a second recreational patio for firefighters.

The city will also fore go Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

certification for the building — a savings of $100,000 — though the plans still call for full compliance with LEED standards without the of ficial designation from the Canada Green Building Council.

The new hall will accommodate space for the addition of one more fire truck to the current No. 1 hall’s fleet of seven should the city require it in the future. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

www.coquitlam.ca

“ I wo r r y t h at — doing what we’ve gone through and building this fire hall — it just comes in over budget and ends up being $14 million anyhow,” Coun.

Clay said. “That’s a track record thing more than a personal opinion.”

Coun. Dilworth was not at the original council vote to for m the fire hall task force following the April 16 referendum, but she said Tuesday that she would have voted in support of forming the exploratory group. However, she added, in her opinion, the task force’s plan is so different from what was shown to the public before the April 16 vote that the whole process ought to go back to a public vote.

“I would be putting forth the recommendation that this entire plan first of all go to professionals to review, because this is a plan that has been put together by a task committee that are not architects, they’re not traffic engineers,” she said. “And I would also support this entire plan going back to the public.”

Task force members Coun. Karen Rockwell and Meghan Lahti fired back over the allegations from councillors and the firefighters union that the new hall was too small and, as Coun. Dilworth suggested, only useful to the city for a maximum of five to 10 years.

Citing the in-house engineering and urban planning expertise of city manager and task force member Gaetan Royer, and the constructive input and approval of fire de par tment brass, Coun. Lahti contended that the new plans provide for a “state-of-the-art postdisaster building” to house the city’s fire department headquarters for decades to come.

And if the city could do that while saving $5 million from the initial $16-million plan, then “$5 million is worth saving,” said Mayor Trasolini, weighing in on the side of the task force and swaying the final vote.

“Would you not take a look at a project that you’re paying out of your own pocket for if at some point in the process you found out that something didn’t really add up?,” Mayor Trasolini asked rhetorically, adding that planned spending on the hall had spun out of control in the lead-up to the $16-million referendum. “You wouldn’t do that in your home, you don’t expect me to do that with your money.

Smoking may soon be outlawed in most parts of regional parks and beaches run by Metro Vancouver.

The Metro parks committee on Wednesday recommended smokers be limited to puffing only in specific smoking zones to be determined by staff.

The restrictions go to a vote of the Metro board July 24.

Smoking zones would be close to popular areas where many people congregate, provided they minimize second-hand smoke exposure, litter and the risk of fire.

Metro directors rejected a staff recommendation to use a more complex set of rules that would vary depending on the season — based on fire risk — and outlaw smoking on some highuse trails but not others.

“We don’t want to hire a whole bunch of smoke police,” Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean said. “We feel the majority of people who smoke are law-abiding and would abide by the rules.”

Langley City Coun.

G ay l e M a r t i n , wh o chairs the parks committee, said she would have preferred rules that simply prohibited smoking in zones around high-use areas but allow it everywhere else in the parks.

Vancouver council wanted a full ban on smoking throughout Metro parks, but its motion was voted down

Celebrating...

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

Q WHAT WE THINK:

T

oday is Canada’s 144th birthday and in the TriCities we are kicking off a long weekend with a party in every city.

But what, exactly, are we celebrating with cake, the maple leaf, red and white face paint and fireworks?

Are we really that excited about Confederation, which created a country from three provinces — the Province of Canada, made up of what is now Ontario and Quebec, plus Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

Maybe, although B.C. wasn’t part of the deal.

Is it good government we applaud? Do we thrill to the British North America Act that divided powers between the federal parliament and the provinces to create the Canadian form of federalism? Maybe.

More likely, though, we Canucks are celebrating what has taken nearly 150 years to create: a relatively tolerant, peace-loving, multicultural nation that has one of the highest standards of living in the world.

HST debate and the nature of B.C. politics AS I SEE IT Andrew Holota

T

he level of misinformation and misunderstanding surrounding “discussion” on the HST is of major proportion. The shallowness of most of the argument is astounding and the rhetoric being spouted by opponents is disingenuous.

Here are some prime examples from the past month or so: • A web commenter: “I’m upset I have to pay HST on fuel, groceries, kids’ clothes, school supplies — basics that I can’t do without.”

Mostly, that’s wrong. You don’t pay more for fuel under the HST. Groceries? No, just snack food — not “basics.” Kids’ clothes?

Only if they are adult-sized. School supplies?

She got that one right.

The reality of HST is lost on a lot of people. Under the old 7% PST/5% GST struc-

ture, you still paid 12% on the majority of your purchases. Only some items were PSTexempt. The HST affects about 17% of all consumer spending. Say you spend $1,000 on a variety of consumer items; HST adds 7% to 17% ($170) of those purchases — or $11.90.

All I’m saying is, do the math before corking off.

• I can’t afford another $350 in tax per year (as calculated for the “average” B.C. family by an independent panel).

Does that actually apply to you? Many of those griping about the HST are getting the low-income rebate and some are even coming out ahead. The higher income brackets are hauling the heaviest HST load.

Also forgotten or ignored is the fact that personal provincial income tax dropped by 25% 10 years ago. And when the HST is lowered to 10% in three years, we’ll have the lowest provincial tax rates in Canada, tied with Saskatchewan.

• Big business are getting “us” to pay their tax bills for them.

TRI-CITY NEWS [CCAB AUDITED CIRCULATION 53,146 (MARCH 2009)] 1405 Broadway St., Port Coquitlam, B.C. V3C 6L6 telephone: 604-525-6397 • fax: 604-944-0703

That’s anti-corporate rhetoric from people who want their paycheques but bash the companies that provide them.

The HST is considered sound policy by the majority of economists, who see it as an investment booster. That means more jobs and, over the long term, perhaps bigger paycheques. Taxing the hell out of big bad business does the opposite.

• I’m still angry over the way the Liberals introduced this.

That I get. I agree. And now... let’s get past it. Time and time again, governments — Liberal, NDP, Conservative or any other you want to mention — have proven themselves remarkably inept at communicating with the public. But it’s time to wind down the drama and look at the actual long-term tax policy, which has been adopted by other Canadian provinces and countries around the world.

• There’s no guarantee they’ll keep the HST at 10%.

Where’s the guarantee that a return to the PST will be locked at 7% for perpetuity and

all the previously exempt items stay that way?

• They’re bribing us with our own money.

Public support has been gained and lost by doling out public money for programs and services since governments began. People complained about the 12% and the government promised to lower it. That could also be seen as listening and responding.

• The government is getting $1.3 billion in extra taxes through the HST. Apparently so. And B.C. is facing a $1-billion deficit. And people also want the best possible health care and education and social services and transit and amenities, and, and... and all of that requires taxes.

• Vote down the HST to show the government who’s boss.

That’s a dumbed-down approach to setting economic policy. You want to punish the government? It’s called an election.

Ah, B.C. politics at its best — or not.

FACE TO FACE: What is great about Canada on Canada Day?

What we have in common is great M

oments before I began writing this column, I opened an email from the B.C. minister responsible for multiculturalism informing me that June 27 was Multiculturalism Day in our country. As such, it was “a wonderful opportunity to celebrate British Columbia’s diverse people and communities.”

Funny thing is, that’s what I thought today, Canada Day, had already become. In fact, go to any Canada Day festival today and I’m betting at least half the official talk will be about our fabulous multicultural mosaic, our wonderful multicultural music and our delicious multicultural food. Next up, undoubtedly, will be a celebration of Canada’s multicultural multiculturalism — a unique brand of multiculturalism that borrows from a variety of multicultural models found throughout the world.

All kidding aside, I’ve long thought the best Canada Day celebrations have been those that centred on our commonalities, not our diversity.

They’ve been the ones that assumed that everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, age and gender, is interested in roughly the same things.

Most recently, Port Moody’s Golden Spike Days, with its high-

kicking can-can dancers and its free live music, is a great example of this. A few decades ago, some friends and I even competed in what used to be a festival highlight, the handcar races — and I don’t remember anyone asking whether our ancestors came from Ireland, Iran or India.

I suppose my favourite Canada Day memory goes way back to July 1, 1967, when I was working the last leg of a two-day shift as a steward on the Pacific Great Eastern Railway’s passenger service from North Vancouver to Prince George and back. It was, of course, Canada’s 100th birthday, and the residents of West Vancouver had decided to mark it by lighting bonfires along beaches from Horseshoe Bay to Ambleside.

Standing at the open door of the train’s baggage car, I saw hundreds of men, women and children standing around those fires, united in a joyful celebration of the country’s centennial.

Some flew our then-new flag, others simply waved and smiled as we trundled by. I was lucky enough to make eye contact with a few and felt in an instant that I had shared an important moment with someone special — a fellow Canadian.

As the anthem says, God save our native land.

C

anada Day: a time to postpone our political palaver and reflect on what it is about Canada that gives us goose bumps.

K.D. Lang singing “Hallelujah” at the 2010 Olympic opening ceremonies? Oh yeah.

Sid the Kid’s golden goal? You bet.

The 1972 Canada/Soviet hockey series, the spirit of Terry Fox, the red serge of the RCMP, the rubber face of Jim Carrey and the platinum pipes of Michael Bublé and Sarah McLachlan? All moments and people that make the hair stand up on the back of our proud Canadian necks.

But past such moments of cultural pride, what is it about being Canadian that gives us goose bumps? Knowing that my list will not be comprehensive and certainly differ from yours, here goes...

When Jean Chrétien announced that Canada would not be participating in the “coalition of the willing” in Iraq and I realized that Canadians quietly but almost unanimously supported the decision?

Goose bumps.

Remembrance Days, so dignified and respectful — remembrance with an anti-war tinge, focused on those who went before rather than tawdry displays of the glory of war?

Goose bumps.

Our Canadian peacekeeping legacy and international perspective; instead of taking sides, taking the international side. A Canadian sense of non-exceptionalism, which gives us our perspective and allows us to accept and empathize with others? Goose bumps.

Watching the moral contortion of Americans resisting same-sex marriage, agonizing over an obvious decision we Canadians made with little fuss, and how grown-up Canadians appear in comparison?

Goose bumps.

Unanimous support for refugees, abortion rights, multiculturalism, French immersion, support that shows the unshakeable tolerance of Canadians? Goose bumps.

Being a citizen of a country whose citizens are mocked as nice?

Goose bumps.

Some believe that our quiet Canadianism indicates a lack of commitment or patriotism. In fact, the opposite is true. Canadians share a collective, strong, Atticus Finch personality. Huge goose bumps.

So, how will I spend Canada Day this year? Probably as a quiet Canadian, tolerantly and empathetically walking my dogma at Rocky Point Park. In goose poop.

Teachers vote for job action Coquitlam teachers joined colleagues across the province in voting 90% in favour of strike action to back contract demands.

As a result, teachers will not be doing administrative duties when they return to school in September but the job action won’t affect classroom teaching.

“This initial job action is designed to put pressure on the employer and the government, but to maintain regular classroom instruction for students and ongoing communication with parents,” Coquitlam Teachers Association president Teresa Grandinetti stated in a press release.

Local teachers were among more than 28,000 teachers who voted June 24-28.

The teachers’ collective agreement ends in June and the BC Teachers’ Federation had hoped to have a new one in place by the end of the school year.

However, several issues stand in their way, including a provincial “net zero mandate” wage freeze, which the teachers oppose fearing their wage and benefit packages are falling behind those in other jurisdictions.

Local results for the strike vote are not available. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Nine months for grow-op Father of two was tending the plants

By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A Coquitlam man has received a nine-month jail sentence for his role in a marijuana grow operation located in the Eagle Ridge area.

Matthew Man Fung Lee was arrested at a home in the 2500block of Steeple Court, which contained a large quantity of marijuana plants worth an estimated $693,000 if sold by the gram.

“He was a tender of the crop in a set up that in my view was

rather sophisticated,” said Justice Elizabeth Arnold-Bailey.

“As a mature man with clear financial and family responsibilities he made a decision to be involved purely for financial reasons.”

The 46-year-old’s legal troubles began in March of 2007 when neighbours reported a break-in at the residence. Coquitlam RCMP were unable to apprehend the two burglary suspects but found more than 300 pot plants inside the home during the course of their search.

Lee, who was not at the home at the time of the break-in, was arrested when he returned to the residence at around 3 a.m. on March 25.

The Crown said the grow-op was considered to be a mid-sized operation and some of the plants discovered had been growing for eight to 12 weeks. Plants at all stages were found and automatic light timers and significant fortifications had been setup in the home.

Lee, who is married and has two children, had no prior criminal record. His lawyer argued that Lee was not the owner of the home and there were no weapons or traps found on the premises.

Another mitigating factor, according to the defence, was the fact that Lee did not reside in the home and there were no children found living in the residence at the time of his arrest.

New election sign rules in PoCo Port Coquitlam council is hoping that a revamped election procedure bylaw will limit the number of campaign signs plastered on public property during the fall race.

Third reading of a bylaw limiting signs to 12 locations was passed unanimously during Monday night’s council meeting.

Signs can go up no sooner than 10 calendar days before the vote and must be removed within three days after the election.

In past elections city staff and bylaw officers have had to deal with numerous complaints about sign placement from residents and rival candidates.

The locations where signs will be permitted include: • G r a n ny S m i t h Pa rk Boulevard (north east corner of Shaughnessy Street and Wilson Avenue; • Shaughnessy Street, south of Nacht Avenue (east side boulevard); • Kingsway Avenue, between Kelly Avenue and Wilson Avenue (eastside boulevard); • Boulevard in front of 2061 Kingsway Avenue; • Boulevard in front of 1855 and 1925 Kingsway Avenue; • Shaughnessy Street, just south of Citadel Drive (past the parking lot area);

• Boulevard area between the Mary Hill Bypass and Argue Street (west of Pitt River Road); • Boulevard area between the Lougheed Highway and the Oxford Connector (in front of the parking lot for the stores); • Coast Meridian Road, just north of Prairie Avenue on west boulevard; • Shaughnessy Street, just south of Manning Avenue, north of the Lougheed Highway; • Westwood Street, south of Kitchener Avenue; • City-owned property at the south-west corner of Kingsway Avenue and Maple Street. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Engineering students get creative and receiver to interface with their custom-built iPhone app.

“It’s mostly a tool for someone to be able to check in on someone,” Panchal said, noting that the robot doesn’t have arms to perform tasks, but does have a compartment to store items like medications which the robot could bring to its user and remind them to take.

“It’s just another example of the creativity of our students when challenged,” said SFU engineering professor Andrew Rawicz in a press release from the school. He noted that several of his students’ projects this year, like Panchal’s, targeted the biomedical industry.

Robot made of iPhone app and a wheel chair

By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The sky’s the limit for Ravi Panchal, a 22-yearold Coquitlam student whose recent engineering project has helped land him a summer job building F-35 fighter jets.

Panchal was part of a team of six students in a senior Simon Fraser University engineering program who, over four months, designed and built “CHAD,” the Controllable Home Assistance Device.

Simply put, the machine melds a motorized wheelchair with an iPhone app, making a robot that can walk, talk, see and hear, not all on its own, but through a two-way video-conferencing app similar to Skype and other webcam chat programs.

Pictured are Ravi Panchal (right) and Graham Holland, SFU applied engineering students, who made CHAD, the Controllable Home Assistance Device.

Panchal said he aspires to be a systems e n g i n e e r a n d ke e p working in robotics — the “heaven of electronics and mechanics” he called it, because of what he deemed its perfect balance between mechanical and electronic engineering.

But for now, he’s found summer work this side of heaven at Avcorp Industries in Delta, where he’s helping to build one of three wing variants for Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning fighter jet. It’s a line of work that Panchal said is a bit far out on the edge of what his education has prepared him for, but at least it’s on the cutting edge of modern engineering. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Tri-Cities celebrations Compiled by Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

T

his holiday weekend, it’s all about celebrating your history with Canada Day and the Golden Spike Days Festival. So get outside and see all that the Tri-Cities has to offer.

TODAY: Friday, July 1 GOLDEN SPIKE DAYS All weekend long! The Golden Spike Days festival commemorates the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway line and its arrival at Port Moody in the late 1880s.

This year is the 35th annual Golden Spike celebration with events at Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday expected to draw upwards of 30,000 visitors. Activities include panning for gold, bouncy castles, a petting zoo, craft-making, bike stunt shows, food and beverage vendors and boat tours of the inlet. Entertainment includes classic rock band, Prism, as well as Sweeney Todd and Dustin Bentall. Several local bands, musicians and dancers will also perform throughout the festival. For more information, visit goldenspike.ca.

ALL ABOARD FOR FUN The Port Moody Station Museum hosts a free party to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the arrival of the first trans-Canada passenger train to Port Moody. Model trains, Morse telegraphs and costumed heritage actors will all be on site from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Port Moody Station Museum (2734 Murray Street).

Plenty of other rail-themed family-friendly activities are planned including the Golden Spike scavenger hunt. For more information, contact the museum at 604-939-1648 or info@portmoodymuseum.org.

BURN FUND BBQ Support the BC Burn Fund and celebrate Canada Day while enjoying a salmon barbecue with the Port Coquitlam firefighters from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Castle Park (2252 Castle Cres., Port Coquitlam). After the barbecue there will be a fireworks display set off by the fire fighters starting at dusk. All money raised from the barbecue will be donated to the BC Professional Firefighters Burn Fund, to provide life-enriching services to burn survivors in the province.

For the early birds, Canada Day celebrations will begin in Castle Park at noon with children’s activities, a community talent show and musical acts. A free shuttle bus iw;; run between Castle Park and the West Coast Express parking lot on Kingsway Avenue every half-hour from 11:30 a.m. to midnight.

Who’s Colony Farm for?

GREEN SCENE Elaine Golds

C

olony Farm Regional Park has been in the news recently because of a controversial proposal to create fish channels in a field originally protected for its wildlife habitat values. This work, to be undertaken by the Transportation Investment Corporation, will compensate for fish habitat lost through their construction of the new Port Mann Bridge. The controversy has arisen, in large part, because the project will convert one type of valuable wildlife habitat into aquatic habitat, with a resulting loss of habitat for the wildlife species that rely on grassland or so-called old-field habitat.

Another problematic matter is, perhaps, the overall management of Colony Farm Regional Park in terms of meeting the public’s wishes.

To my mind, it is unfortunate the creation of more fish habitat will be achieved by eliminating critical habitat for some birds when the real issue is people encroaching on the habitat of both.

Colony Farm has already been the site of fish channel construction in the area adjacent to Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam. This work, initiated in 2004 and supported by both bird-watchers and fish stewards, took place in a low-lying wet area that was not old-field habitat. In contrast, the 2.5 hectares of old-field habitat that will be lost due to the new fish channel work is a rare type of habitat of which little is protected in the Lower Mainland.

Several species of raptors depend on old-field habitat because their main food source is the meadow voles which live in these fields.

It has been estimated, depending on vole density and the presence of other raptor species, a pair of short-eared owls require anywhere between six and 75 ha of old-field habitat to raise a family. Thus, the loss of even 2.5 ha could have a negative impact on their ability to successfully breed at Colony Farm.

In contrast, the Coquitlam River already supports thousands of coho salmon. While more coho would be beneficial, their survival in the Coquitlam River will not be in jeopardy if the new fish channels are not built here.

Colony Farm became a regional park in 1995 several years after a campaign was launched for its protection by the Burke Mountain Naturalists and others. For 12 years prior to that, the land at Colony Farm had lain vacant after closure of the government-operated farm, where labour was provided by patients from Riverview Hospital. During those dozen years, many species of wildlife came to rely on the meadows and berry-producing shrubs at Colony Farm for refuge. Colony Farm soon became known as a haven for wildlife and a delightful place for people to stroll, cycle or bird-watch on its dikes.

When Colony Farm finally became a Regional Park, it came with a land use plan developed by stakeholders, a signature row of magnificent mature elms along Colony Farm Road, three heritage buildings that remained from its heyday as a provincial prize-winning farm and many hectares of so-called old-field habitat, which supported species at risk such as short-eared owls and barn owls plus dozens of smaller song birds. The land use plan, although developed without the knowledge that Colony Farm would become a park, designated fields for various uses and highlighted the farm’s three outstanding values: fertile agricultural land, critical wildlife habitat and a network of trails for people to hike and enjoy nature.

Sadly, since the park was protected, the row of elms was cut down because of rotting roots and has not

Colony Farm with its valuable old-field habitat attracts approximately 200 species of birds is a delightful oasis of green in the midst of urban development. been replaced. One heritage building has been lost through decay, although the two remaining ones have been re-roofed but still await restoration. The community gardens are thriving but have a long waiting list, which has many people wondering why similar community or allotment gardens cannot be developed in some of the other fields designated for agriculture.

While a bridge across the river re-connecting the two sides of Colony Farm was installed in 2000 thanks to tremendous community and provincial support, a popular trail to Pitt River Road has since been eliminated due to erosion, with no plans for a timely repair.

As a consequence, the number of park visitors has decreased dramatically in recent years.

A draft sustainability plan for Colony Farm, which still awaits full public consultation, envisages commercial farming and institutional use on some of the agricultural fields at Colony Farm.

This has alarmed some park supporters, who feel this plan also fails to pay sufficient attention to enhancing public use in a public park. Other people have already raised concerns over a corporation being allowed to use land in a park for a compensation project.

I can only hope this decision of Metro Vancouver Parks is not indicative of a trend to support more private projects in a public space that is such a vital oasis of green and source of enjoyment for so many people in the Tri-Cities.

Massage, pregnancy & stress GUEST COLUMN

D

uring pregnancy, a women’s body undergoes tremendous changes to support the growing fetus.

These changes often result in musculoskeletal changes such as lower back pain, neck and shoulder discomfort and swelling of the feet and hands.

It’s important to consult with your physician to rule out any serious medical concerns due to these symptoms.

Once cleared, massage therapy can assist with managing many of the aches and pains of pregnancy including your stress levels.

In an article entitled “Fetus to Mom: You’re Stressing Me Out!” Dr. Calvin Hobel, director of maternal-fetal medicine at Cedars Sinai and a professor of obstetrics/gynecology and pediatrics at UCLA, states “Pregnant women need to be educated in recognizing when they have stress, the consequences and some of the simple things they can do to make a difference.”

Dr. Hobel also gave a list of questions that may assist in assessing your stress levels. For each question, answer “yes,” “sometimes” or “no.” If you answer “sometimes” or “yes” to three or more questions, says Dr. Hobel, you may have sufficient stress to warrant some form of counselling or intervention and you should consult your health-care provider.

• I feel tense.

• I feel worried.

• I have trouble dealing with problems.

• I cannot control things in my life.

• I am worried that my baby is abnormal.

• I am concerned that I will have a difficult delivery.

• I live apart from my partner or spouse.

• I have problems at work.

• Have you been threatened with physical harm?

• I feel nervous.

• I feel frightened.

• Things are not going well.

• I am concerned that I may lose my baby.

• I am concerned that I will be unable to pay my bills.

• I have extra-heavy homework.

• Have you and your partner or spouse had any problems?

Massage during the prepregnancy stage prepares the body for the upcoming pregnancy and addresses old injuries, scar tissue, etc. This is also a good time to start a stretching and strengthening program Massage during the first trimester will help you manage your stress and anxiety levels.

Research suggests that stress can lead to pre-term births and can influence normal fetal development.

Massage during the second trimester will address the normal muscular aches and pains

that develops during this trimester. Specific concerns can be worked on and the goal is to continue to prepare the body for the third trimester with safe stretching and strengthening exercises.

Massage during the third trimester addresses the increasing demands placed on the body. Complaints such as lower back pain, neck and shoulder pain, breast discomfort, swelling of the feet and hands, insomnia can be experienced and relieved.

Massage post partum: As you adapt to baby’s schedule you may experience tiredness, insomnia, muscular discomfort, and neck and shoulder discomfort from breastfeeding.

Massage therapy can assist with reducing the tension in the breast tissues and some research suggests that breast massage can aid in proper milk production. If surgery was involved during your pregnancy we can begin to address the scar tissue formation.

Home ShowcR REVIEW EVIEW

Cukes are versatile – you can even eat ’em ing beds? Place a few slices in a small aluminium pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumbers react with the aluminium to give off a scent undetectable to humans but one that drives garden pests crazy and makes them flee the area.

IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter

L

ast year, one of the world’s leading horticultural companies released some very intriguing information about cucumbers. There have been so many requests for this information, I thought I would share it again:

A BREATH FRESHENER Just finished a business lunch and realize you don’t have any gum or mints to refresh your breath? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath. The phytochemicals in the cucumber will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.

A CELLULITE FIGHTER

A PICK-ME-UP Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day. Just one cucumber contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and Vitamin C as well as folic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.

Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down that caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. As a good source of B vitamins and carbohydrates, it can provide a quick pickme-up that can last for hours.

A DE-FOGGER Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror – it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing spa-like fragrance.

A NATURAL PEST DETERRENT Are grubs and slugs ruining your plant-

$

ating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown to reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.

Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes. The phytochemicals in cucumbers cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too.

A SHOE SHINER Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don’t have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over your shoes. Its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.

A MORNING-AFTER HELPER Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and a headache!

Out of WD40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge and voilĂ ! the squeak is gone.

A LIGHT SNACK

A SPA STEAMER

A LUBRICANT

Stressed out and don’t have time for a massage, facial or visit to a spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water.

Its chemicals and nutrients will react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, cre-

Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries, often by European trappers, traders and explorers, for quick meals to thwart off starvation.

A GREEN CLEANER Looking for a ‘green’ way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean. It will remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but it won’t leave streaks and won’t harm your fingers or fingernails while you clean.

A MAGIC ERASER Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of a cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing. It also works great on crayons and markers that kids have used to decorate the walls.

Who would have guessed? As your cucumbers start to mature, enjoy them for the wonderful flavour and crunch that they add to your favourite dishes, but also keep in mind all these useful tips.

Jr. A’s on brink of perfection But Minto only matters, says coach

By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The numbers don’t lie. Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs are three games away from finishing the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ lacrosse league regular season a perfect 21-0, which would make them the first team do so since the Burnaby Jr. Lakers accomplished that feat in 2006.

Curt Malawsky remembers that campaign very well. After all, he then coached the Jr. Lakers. He also recalls vividly something else –– his Burnaby squad did not even make the ensuing Minto Cup national final, having lost 8-3 to the Six Nations Arrows in the semifinal in Ontario.

See? The numbers really don’t lie. “[Going 21-0] doesn’t mean anything to me,” said Malawsky, whose team throttled the Langley Jr. Thunder 16-5 on Wednesday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex and have out-scored their foes by a staggering 50-18 aggregate in their last three victories. “Stats are just a number. Right now, we’re just looking to finish strong and focus on winning the B.C. championship.”

Last year, the Jr. A’s went a stellar 19-1-1 on way to claiming their first ever Minto Cup crown, as hosts of the four-team tournament. In 2009, the team went 20-1-0 under then-coach Dan Perreault but –– like Burnaby in 2006 –– bowed out in the Minto semifinal in Ontario. So with this year national tournament again back east, what makes Malawsky think his team has a good shot at defending its title? Well, for starters, he sees a lot of the same traits he did in last year’s squad that went unbeaten through the entire playoffs, including five straight Minto wins.

“I think, all-around, we’re very, very similar,” Malawsky said. “This group is a very tight-knit bunch. The players care for each other and go to war for each other.”

Against Langley, Ben McIntosh led the Jr. A’s goal-fest with six, followed by Wesley Berg with four and Matthew Dinsdale with three. Brandon Bertoia added a pair of markers, with Tor Reinholdt also tallying.

Next, the Jr. A’s host Victoria on Sunday, 5 p.m.

Cole Dowling of the Coquitlam Redlegs makes contact at the plate Sunday during a B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League in Parksville. The Redlegs won both ends of a doubleheader, 13-7 and 5-1, to move their fourth-place record among 13 squads to 22-10.

Tri-City players rule rosters for NLL show

By Gary Ahuja and Larry Pruner BLACK PRESS

W

h e n t h e To r o n t o Ro c k a n d Washington Stealth face off in an exhibition game at the Langley Events Centre in December, it’s not quite clear who will have more crowd support.

The Stealth are located just a couple of hours away in Everett, Wash. and boast a large number of Lower Mainland lacrosse players, including Coquitlam Jr. Adanac grads Matt Beers, Jason Bloom and goalie Tyler Richards.

The Rock, on the other hand, are one of three Canadian teams in the 10-team National Lacrosse League, and also have some B.C. connections with Tri-City ties to their roster, namely PoCo’s Kyle Ross and Aaron Pascas. Plus, Rock scoring star and captain Colin Doyle is long-time former Coquitlam Sr. ‘A’ Adanac.

The game is also a rematch of the recent 2011 NLL championship game, in which

Toronto beat the Stealth 8-7 in a thriller. But perhaps the thing that could tip the crowd in their favour is the fact Langley’s Garrett Billings is a member of the Rock.

And Billings expects more than a few friends and family to come watch him play in the game on Dec. 10.

“I think people are going to get a completely different brand of lacrosse,” Billings said, when contacted in Ontario.

Billings chose to stay east to play this summer for the Six Nations Chiefs of the Ontario Major Series following the Rock’s title season. In 2010, it was the Stealth bettering the Rock. While both his parents have seen him play professionally, the exhibition game will give his friends a chance to watch him, too.

More importantly, it will be a chance for Lower Mainland lacrosse fans to show they support the game.

“I think anybody that loves lacrosse has to be at that game,” Billings said. “This is our

chance to show that as a lacrosse community, we support (the sport) and fill up the building.”

The Vancouver Ravens played in the NLL from 2002-2004 out of GM Place (now Rogers Arena).

NLL commissioner George Daniel said the league is thrilled to return to B.C. “British Columbia continues to be a hotbed for lacrosse,” he said on a conference call with media and representatives for the Rock and Stealth.

David Takata, the Stealth president, said they have been trying to arrange something like this for a couple of years now.

Having seen the LEC already, he called it a “world-class facility.”

“The architecture is great, the layout is great, they did everything right to bring lacrosse out there,” he said.

“We are real excited to go out west,” said Rock president/owner Jamie Dawick, who said it will be a great bonding road trip with the regular season just weeks away.

As for the NLL coming back to the Lower Mainland, Daniel said it is inevitable they will be back.

“There is no doubt in my mind,” he said.

“We know there is a lot of people watching the games on television because we get the TV ratings from British Columbia.”

The league will monitor how many attend the December game.

“We would like to see some support from the lacrosse community and all the people who have been clamoring for us to come back,” he said. “I think that is the first step in showing all the key stakeholders there is support here to bring a team back.”

But coming to Langley is considered a long shot since the 5,200-seat facility would be the league’s smallest, although he added he “wouldn’t want to rule anything out.”

Tickets for the game go on sale on Tuesday at 10 a.m. and range from $18 to $28 through www.ticketmaster.ca or call 1-855-985-5000.

Also, an autograph session featuring players from both teams will follow the 7 p.m. contest.

Fastpitch fever hits near home

By Kolby Solinsky BLACK PRESS

Starting July 9, the Lower Mainland will be treated to nine days of home runs, close tags and rally caps, as the 2011 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship welcomes women softball stars from British Columbia and the globe.

The championship runs until July 17 and will take place at three diamonds in Surrey.

Softball City will be the premier destination, and games will also be played at Sunnyside Park and Cloverdale Athletic Park.

The Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch championship is one of the top three women’s fastpitch events in the world for 2011, and will feature more than 400 ball games, 1,300 athletes and 80 teams from IN QUOTES around the world. “ T h i s event is important to the game on so many Kevin Quinn levels,” said Softball Canada president Kevin Quinn. “To all the players, through all the divisions, it is a chance to measure yourself against the best at your level of competition in a fun, professionally organized tournament.

“Lifetime memories are made here.”

There will be three divisions of play – Wo m e n ’ s , F u t u r e s (under-19) and Showcase (under-16) – and all the International and Women’s Elite games will be held at Softball City in South Surrey.

Joining Team Canada in the Women’s International division will be top-ranked and 2010 ISF Women’s World Champion Team USA, Team Japan, Team Venezuela and Team Australia.

C a n a d a wo n t h e Bronze medal at last year’s ISF Women’s World Championships. “[We] are pleased that Surrey has the opportunity to welcome the world’s top fastpitch teams to this tournament,” said Bal Gosal, Canada’s Minister of State [Sport]. “These young athletes will experience the thrill of participating in an international competition and get to know the true

meaning of spirit.”

I n t h e Wo m e n ’ s Elite division, the host club, the White Rock Rene g ades, will be taking on teams from California, Venezuela, and Nanjing, China.

The host Renegades will have a total of six teams taking part in the Open Championship.

British Columbia will be well-represented at this year’s championship. Joining the Renegades will be the Abbotsford Outlaws, Burnaby Oakeys –– featuring Port Moody’s Kat Hatch and Shanel Feller of Coquitlam –– Cloverdale Fury, Delta Heat, Duncan Red Hots, Fleetwood Force, Fraser Valley Fusion, Kelowna Heat, Langley Re b e l s, O k a n a g a n Elite Gold, PoCo Rage, Richmond Islanders, Ridge Meadows Pride, South Delta Invaders, Strawberry Vale Stealth, Sur rey Stor m and Vi c t o r i a Devils.

F r o m elsewhere in Canada, Surrey will be joined by clubs from Alberta and Saskatchewan, as well as American clubs from Alaska, Arizona, California and Hawaii.

Tickets can be purchased online atCanadianOpenFastpitch.com.

The action kicks off at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 9 with women’s play, as the White Rock Renegades face-off with the California A’s. The third-place and firstplace games will be played on Saturday July 17 at 1:30 and 6:30 p.m., respectively.

Of course, all of this is possible with the help of 450 volunteers who have given their time to help make this tournament one of the world’s largest fastpitch championships.

“This championship allows all of our softball fans an opportunity to see what can be accomplished by dedication, hard work and focusing on goals to be the best in your sport,” said Dennis Bidin, president of Softball B.C. “ Black Press and its local coverage will be providing exclusive coverage of the championship, with videos, stories and multimedia on BCLocalNews. com., and follow the action live atCanadianOpenFastpitch.com and BCLocalNews.com.

Jesse Dean Blaikie-Nadalini January 27th, 1989June 18th, 2011 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Jesse. He is survived by his mother, Wendy Blaikie; father, Rick Nadalini, partner Carley Marshall; brothers, Tyler and Jaxyn; grandparents, Lynn Pulkrabek and Mary and Silvano Nadalini; stepbrothers Shawn and Nick Benak; aunts, Lisa and Diane; uncles, Lee, Darren, Dennis, and Frank; cousins, Sarah, Toree, Sean and Maria; Carley’s parents Tara and Scott and her brother Taylor; his dear friends, Jesse M, Jaime, and Ross; and a large extended family; and close, wonderful friends too numerous to mention. He was predeceased by his Papa Gary Pulkrabek and his Nono “Tino” Pagani. Jesse attended elementary school in Powell River and moved to Port Moody where he graduated from Gleneagle Secondary school. He excelled in many athletic activities; soccer, baseball, rugby.

He loved skateboarding, snowboarding and dirt-biking. He was mostly known for lighting up any room with his beautiful smile and open heart. In 2010 Jesse graduated with honours from the Dual Credit Welding Trade program, sponsored jointly by School District 47 and Vancouver Island University.

He has been employed by LaFarge Texada as a tradesman welder. He was recently certified to be a member of the Mine Rescue Team and was planning to continue to broaden his training in this field.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Jesse BlaikieNadalini Memorial Trade Scholarship Fund at the First Credit Union, Powell River Branch.

A Funeral service will be held at 11:00 am on July 2nd at the Westview Baptist Church, 3676 Joyce Avenue in Powell River, BC, followed by a celebration of life at the Italian Community Hall 5866 Lund Street, Powell River, BC.
