EVERGREEN LINE FUNDING
Other funding sources, including vehicle levy, also in the works By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Call it the two-cent solution. That’s how much extra Metro Vancouver motorists will pay for a litre of gas at the pumps to help fund TransLink’s commitment to build the $1.4-billion Evergreen Line to Coquitlam. “Two cents per litre from gas taxes is how we think
our contribution should be made,” West Vancouver Mayor and mayors council vice-chair Pamela Goldsmith-Jones said Wednesday. The proposed measure — increasing the gas tax take for TransLink from a current 15 cents to 17 cents effective next April — has the agreement of the provincial government. see GAS G S TAX,, page g 4
An extra two cents a litre for gas is proposed to pay for the Evergreen Line and other transit improvements, plus a possible vehicle levy.

Pay hikes for Metro board Each mayor’s salary hike jacks all regional payouts higher By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Members of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team cordoned off a neighbourhood in the Ranch Park area of Coquitlam Wednesday to investigate what police say was a targeted hit against an as yet unnamed individual.
Victim targeted, say police By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A man found murdered on a wooded pathway in the quiet Ranch Park area of Coquitlam Wednesday was well-known to police, according to members of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. Police would not confir m whether the man was affiliated with a gang but IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Pound said investigators have found evidence suggesting the death was a targeted homicide, making it the first murder of the year in the
Tri-Cities. The individual’s identity had not been released by The Tri-City News’’ deadline yesterday, pending notification of next of kin. Witnesses in the area told IHIT they heard gun shots or firecrackers at around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday night; however no 911 call was made at the time, Pound said. Coquitlam RCMP were on the scene at 7 a.m. Wednesday morning and IHIT was called in at around 9:30 a.m. Investigators believe the man was killed at the location where he was found but Pound said she
could not confirm the cause of death. “It all comes down to the autopsy confirming it,” Pound said. “We as the police can’t confirm what ultimately took this man’s life. We are not going to speak to that.” The body was located on a pathway between Spuraway Avenue and Meadowbrook elementary school near the intersection of Ranch Park Way.

Civic politicians who sit on Metro Vancouver’s board or one of its committees quietly pocketed a modest pay hike this spring. They’re now paid $330 per meeting instead of $322. And that stipend doubles for meetings that run longer than four hours. The 2.5-% increase happened automatically because a Metro bylaw, passed a few years ago to end the bad optics of politicians voting on their own pay, requires the meeting fees to be recalculated each year according to a formula. The director fees are pegged to the median (mid-point) of Metro Vancouver mayors’ salaries. That means every increase in any mayor’s pay over the last year increases the median and ratchets the regional meeting rate higher. The city that tugged regional fees up the most was Port Coquitlam, where Mayor Greg Moore’s salary soared 27% this year to $85,418. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan got a $16,500 raise (17%) to $114,031. Maple Ridge Mayor Er nie Daykin and Vancouver’s Gregor Robertson got increases of about
Coq. deal reached By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
A tentative deal has been reached that would see holdout city Coquitlam approve Metro Vancouver’s new re gional g rowth strategy without changes, ending a months-long impasse. Coquitlam and Metro reps met again Tuesday and emerged with a set of assurances to settle the dispute that had been in mediated talks ahead of potential arbitration. see NO CHANGES, CHANGES, page 12
$10,000, bringing their mayoral salaries to $99,436 (up 10.8%) and $151,594 (up 8.3%) respectively. Moore defended his $18,000 pay increase as mayor, saying Port Coquitlam had frozen council salaries until last year, when it okayed a big increase to catch up with other cities.

Scrap connector, says group
PoCo gets new chief
Property owners say the connector will turn their area into a ‘freeway’
The Tri-Cities is getting another chief Delmonico — this time in Port Coquitlam. Nick Delmonico, the older brother of Coquitlam fire chief Tony Delmonico, will be taking over as head of PoCo Fire and Emergency services. The elder Delmonico comes to the Tri-Cities from Vancouver’s Fire and Rescue Services, where he began his 32-year career moving up the ranks to deputy fire chief in 2008. He will begin his new position as chief in PoCo on Monday (July 11). “I’m thrilled to be joining the city of Port Coquitlam and serving the community that I am part of,” Delmonico said. “The city’s fire department has a great reputation and I look forward to ensuring that it continues to provide the best possible service to the citizens of Port Coquitlam.” The move will considerably shorten Delmonico’s commute. He is a Tri-City resident and cur rently spends much of his spare time coaching the Port Coquitlam Saints Junior ‘A’ Lacrosse club. He has volunteered extensively in local sports.
By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
With the future of the Evergreen Line once again at the forefront of the public’s attention in Port Moody, an organized group of Mur ray Street land owners is asking the city to can the Murray-Clarke Connector. The group’s timing is prescient too as TransLink just completed its “business case” assessment of the Murray-Clarke Connector, an overpass connecting Murray and Clarke streets that TransLink had previously scrapped funding for, saying there was no such “business case” for the project. Port Moody city counc i l h a s n ow r e c e ive d TransLink’s business assessment for the connector and will vote on a course of action at Tuesday’s council meeting, according to Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini. But the Por t Moody Waterfront Community Interest Group wants Port Moody’s pro-connector council to consider what they say will be the overpass’ negative impact on the city’s waterfront. Barry Sharbo has owned a piece of light-industrial zoned land on Mur ray Street since 1979 and he has launched a campaign to convince the city to scrap the connector, which he said would turn Murray Street into a “freeway” through Port Moody. He wants the city to re zone Mur ray Street from light-industrialto mixed-use. Calling Murray Street’s current zoning a relic of its industrial past, Sharbo and the waterfront interest group envision Murray Street as a future pedestrian-friendly, high-density waterfront neighbourhood with on-street parking, crosswalks and direct access to Rocky Point Park from the Evergreen Line. They’ve hired architect Richard Balfour of Vancouver’s Balfour & Associates to draw up preliminary designs of how Murray Street might look

Today, Murray Street (bottom left) is mostly industrial buildings but members of the group believe it could be a high-density waterfront neighbourhood with direct access to Rocky Point Park and the Evergreen Line. if these amenities were realized. Trasolini told The Tri-City News that while he too was a proponent of rezoning Murray Street for mixed-use seven or eight years ago, council then as council now, had roundly rejected the idea. “The [waterfront group] presented something through staff to council about wanting the city to unilaterally rezone the area and basically council wasn’t receptive to that,” Trasolini said. “But we did tell them that as individual owners they can apply to rezone or amend the OCP [official community plan].” Trasolini went on to say
F
that the waterfront group was conflating the two separate issues of the MurrayClarke Connector and the rezoning of Murray Street, saying that there’s no reason they couldn’t have it both ways. “[Suter Brook Village], a hug e development, and what’s in front of it? Murray Street, four-lane Murray Street. “Newport Village, with all the high-rises and everything, and what goes beside it? The same road,” Trasolini said. Coun. Mike Clay told The Tri-City Newss on Wednesday that while he agrees with Sharbo and the waterfront

group: the traffic problems in that area need to be addressed and the group does have other recourse to deal with their issues. “Personally, I agree with them. Putting a four-lane highway down there is kind of a blight through their neighbourhood, but it’s also 25 years of the city trying to get this thing built.” Clay said that the waterfront group had unfortunately come to the city too late into the OCP development process last year to make its proposed zoning amendments. The city now cannot amend its OCP plans until after decisions on the Murray-Clarke
Connector and Evergreen Line projects are finalized with TransLink. All indicators point to decisions on those two projects being made one way or another in the coming weeks. And, if TransLink’s Murray-Clarke funding isn’t there on Tuesday, Clay said all options for the area will be on the table and open to public input. At that point, the waterfront group could apply to rezone their Murray Street lands as a group or individually as early as the fall, when the next meeting of the economic development committee is scheduled. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Gas tax hike just the start continued from front page
Blair Lekstrom pledged to introduce legislation this fall. The extra two cents would generate about $40 million more in revenue each year, much of what TransLink needs to cover the annual borrowing cost of its $400-million capital contribution. But TransLink will need more.
LEVY EYED Goldsmith-Jones said mayors also expect to approve an annual vehicle levy that could vary — possibly based on a vehicle’s carbon footprint — between $10 and $40 per vehicle per year. T he two-cent g as tax, vehicle levy (called a Transportation Improvement Fee) and a potential small property tax hike need to generated a combined $70 million a year to cover TransLink’s planned spending supplement. It includes not just the long-awaited, 11-kilometre Evergreen Line SkyTrain extension but also a broader package of upgrades intended to give something to all parts of the region. The package includes more Rapid bus ser-
vices, a B-Line express, more frequent SeaBus sailings and SkyTrain station upgrades at key hubs. As well, the cash would pay for road work and cycling projects. Goldsmith-Jones could not say how soon work could begin on the Evergreen Line, which has been stalled for months since mayors last fall rejected a TransLink proposal to pay for the contribution solely through property taxes. Lekstrom last month said the province will move quickly to issue a request for proposals to the three pre-qualified bidders for the project once the mayors commit to a funding source. The mayors’ agreement with the province requires a $23 increase in property tax for the average Metro Vancouver home if the vehicle levy is not approved in addition to the gas tax hike. Mayors would still prefer to avoid any property tax increase, Goldsmith-Jones said, adding they feel it’s appropriate to use mechanisms that can steer motorists from using the roads to transit or other alternatives. “The mayors are committed to penalizing or
incentivizing based on what makes sense,� she said, calling further property tax hikes regressive.
CONSULTATION The planned “Moving Forward� supplement, which would go out to public consultation as early as next week, is only the short-term package of transit upgrades and accompanying fee increases. Mayors also intend to work quickly to hammer out a long-term funding strategy to pay for bigger projects in the future, such as rapid transit extensions in the Surrey area and along Vancouver’s Broadway corridor to UBC. Road pricing (a regional tolling scheme that would apply to not just bridges but other key arteries) and a possible regional carbon tax lead the mayors’ list of how they want to raise the billions of dollars more in capital funding required to pay for those longer-range priorities. Ottawa’s $417-million commitment to the Evergreen Line remains on the table and will be there when required, federal transportation minister Denis Lebel promised at a stop in
Surrey Monday. The province has pledged $400 million but Lekstrom has indicated that could rise to cover any shortfall — mayors won’t be asked for more. Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini said he’s hopeful the proposed agreement with Victoria will work and Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart is also pleased with the funding proposal. “I’m glad to see the light at the end of a tunnel for a transit line that was planned when I was single. I’ve been married 28 years.�

Keep dogs, cats safe
Bobcats are common in this region and Alan Tracey who lives on Gatensbury Road in Port Moody got up close and personal with a young one. Recently, he spotted this kitten sleeping in an apple tree while its mother called and wandered around the yard looking for it. Eventually, the kitten woke up and called back, prompting the female to jump into the tree and grab the young bobcat. The youngster didn’t want to leave and was hanging on to the tree with its claws. Tracey saw it later with its mother. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Bobcat sightings have become more prevalent in certain parts of Coquitlam and residents who come across the animals should give them their space. Bear Aware co-ordinator Drake Stephens said bobcat sightings are particularly common in the neighbourhood between Thermal Drive and Mariner Way, the Walton Park area and much of northeast Coquitlam. “I have never really heard of there being too many problems,” said Stephens. “We have so much different wildlife around here. It is just part of this area.” While bobcats are not known to be a danger to humans, Stephens said residents in areas where the animals are present should lock up their pets. For the most part, the animals will eat rodents and birds, but bobcats, like coyotes, will occasionally feast on a cat or small pet. Those who encounter bobcats — or any wildlife — are encouraged to give the animal lots of room and make sure it does not feel threatened. “It is the same with all wildlife,” Stephens said. “Respect their space and don’t try approaching them. You can be injured by a squirrel if you aren’t careful. All wildlife needs to have its space respected.” Bobcats are widespread across North America and are generally smaller (about 9 to 20 kg) and have more spots than the lynx. Their lifespan ranges between 12 and 20 years and they are capable of reaching speeds of 55 km/h. For the most part bobcats do most of their hunting during the early morning hours or in the late evenings and they generally stick to densely forested or mountainous regions. Meanwhile, Stephens said the number of bear sightings coming into this office has dropped dramatically so far this year compared to 2010. Stephens received 40 calls a month for both May and June, which he said is about half of the call volume he received up to this point last summer. While it is difficult to explain exactly why the numbers have tailed off, he said that it is likely that an abundant berry crop is keeping the animals away from populate areas. “There is probably enough natural food to keep them happy,” he said. However, residents are encouraged to secure their garbage.

The fallen tower was nearly 60 years old when it fell due to soil erosion on the south bank of the river, BC Hydro said. The 100-ton tower underwent a detailed inspection last year but no problems were found with the structure or its footings, according to BC Hydro. The power company
has been monitoring the stability of the two larger 500-kilovolt towers on either side of the river round the clock using lasers and have found no movement since Monday, hydro said. Hydro crews removed the transmission lines from the water Tuesday and are currently working on removing the tower and reconstructing the 230-kilovolt circuit. BC Hydro has 47 transmission crossings over the Fraser River, six of them in the Lower Mainland. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Q WHAT WE THINK:
A
few dry days will certainly ramp up the fire rating in Lower Mainland parks making smoking even more risky than usual. Metro Vancouver is seeking to reduce the fire risk from smoking — and other problems related to second hand smoke — by outlawing puffing in most parts of regional parks and beaches. In a few weeks directors will be asked to vote on the recommendation which would restrict smoking to certain areas, likely those most populated and close to receptacles where cigarette butts can be contained. This sounds like a great idea, but as with any rules, it will require enforcing and Metro directors who will be voting on the issue will have to consider who should police the scofflaws. In Vancouver, where a full-ban has been in city parks for a year, park rangers have the power to issue tickets with hefty fines of $250 for first-time offenders. Metro’s ban won’t likely have as much muscle and will likely be confusing as smokers try to figure out where they are allowed and not allowed to smoke.

Teaching kids not easy task for uninitiated THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES Naomi Yorke
I
n my last post, I shared about my first experience, teaching teenagers here in Hong Kong. I am coming to the conclusion that I may have spoken too soon about the joys of teaching. Last time, I talked about how comfortable I felt at the front of the classroom and how I could relate to the students. Well, this week it just ain’t so! My confidence has been tested! I started my new job teaching English to young children at a private language school. I was told I would be dealing with kids around the age of eight but when I arrived at the school I was handed a book with a big green frog on it and thrown into a room of four to six-yearolds. Oh my! Quite suddenly I realized I was dealing with an alien species and I don’t think I have
IN QUOTES
“These of course are the children that stand out in my memory. When did it become acceptable to scream at a teacher?” NAOMI YORKE had the appropriate vaccinations for this particular journey. When dealing with kids this young, my instinct normally is to run, just run, really fast. Obviously, this wasn’t an option here. On my first day I was shouted at, ignored, run away from and (the piece de resistance was) pelted in the head with a plastic monkey. At the end of that first day of work, I ended up with a broken sandal, a brutal headache and reaffirmation in my pre-existing fear of young children.

I look at these small human beings and truly I must acknowledge that they are aesthetically pleasing. Yes, they are “cute”, at least on the surface. But who other than their parents is built to deal with their outrageous behaviour? Now, I am generalizing here because many of the kids I am teaching are quite adorable, but the ones that are not are really NOT. These of course are the children that stand out in my memory. When did it become acceptable to scream at a teacher? In my world, never! Spending this first day teaching primary students made me think of my amazing Grandma who spent her career in the classroom teaching little children. Yes, she spent three decades teaching kids of this age and now (more than ever) I wonder how she did it. How did Grandma survive all those years un-medicated? I tried to think of her and how she deals with every situation with a smile. So, using my Grandma as my model, I smilingly said
“Little Jimmy please pass me back the plastic monkey now.” And within moments, the monkey went flying past my head, missing my ear by a fraction of a hair. I continued smiling, whilst firmly (but gently) reprimanding the child for throwing objects indoors. I refused to shout or be harsh with these children. This is not the way I was raised and I decided that no matter how badly some of them behaved, I would not lose my temper. I kept visualizing my Grandma’s face and thinking, “I can do this. Yes I can!” After four long classes and by the time I reached the end of my eight-hour day, I was a broken woman. I had no strength left in me. I phoned my Grandma in Port Moody to ask for some pearls of wisdom for next Saturday’s class. Her greatest advice was “stay calm and carry on” and when all else fails don’t forget the magic of stickers. Kids love them! Naomi Yorke is a Port Coquitlam student who is now living and teaching in Hong Kong.

FACE TO FACE: Doctor-assisted suicide under scrutiny
Doctors will get too much power I
t figures that my big-government-loving colleague would now want to give the state lifeand-death power over us. He would deny it, but this power would inevitably be created if doctor-assisted suicide were legalized in Canada. Of course, any such Charterbased, court-mandated legalization — which is the target of a current B.C. Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) lawsuit — would never go so far as to actually declare that the government would have the power to decide who should live and die. But growing evidence points strongly to the toxic effect that budget pressures from government medical-insurance-plans have on the care of terminally-ill patients in jurisdictions where doctor-assisted suicide has been legalized. In Oregon, for example, the state’s health plan severely limits coverage for treatment of the seriously ill, steering them towards “voluntary” suicide, the cost of which it will, ironically, cover. The same pressures are bound to manifest themselves in Canada. And in the Netherlands, it’s just as clear that informed-consent provisions are routinely broken, with the result that misguided doctors are making decisions on their own to euthanize elderly, chronically ill patients. Recent news stories about the
TERRY O’NEILL
issue have centred on a Westbank woman’s decision to join the BCCLA suit. Most stories embraced the propagandistic language of the pro-death movement in describing how the woman, an ALS patient, sought the “right to die with dignity.” But these words suggest persons cannot ‘die with dignity’ if they do not have the right to enlist a doctor’s assistance in killing themselves. If true, it must also be that everyone in Canada who now dies of natural causes dies without dignity. Balderdash. Moreover, it can certainly be argued that the courage shown by someone who faces a looming death with courage and embraces a natural outcome is actually more deserving of the honour and respect associated with true dignity than someone who enlists the assistance a suicide doctor like the late Jack Kevorkian. Ultimately, though, it all comes back to whether we want to give doctors the right to kill us. I say the risk is too great. As Dr. Margaret Cottle pointed out at a recent conference I attended, the evidence from every jurisdiction where physician-assisted suicide has been legalized shows that “assisted death is impossible to regulate and easy to abuse.”

ecently, Westbank grandmother Gloria Taylor’s battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease has re-kindled the controversy over euthanasia, dormant since 1992, when then-MP Svend Robinson and ALS victim Sue Rodriguez took the issue to the Supreme Court. Between public flare-ups of this controversy, patients, families and doctors, have been quietly minimizing the pain and suffering of dying loved ones, often to the point of hastening their death. It’s compassionate. It’s respectful. It’s right. Whether one calls it euthanasia, assisted suicide, or dying with dignity, the supervised death of a person should be guided by the wishes of the patient, their family and medical professionals, not by legislation. Opponents of this idea agonize about the thin edge of the wedge. They worry that we’ll soon be euthanizing Uncle Fred because of a nasty hangnail, an odorous urinary infection, or because he can’t remember where he parked his car. No, we won’t. Oregon and many other jurisdictions that have accepted forms of euthanasia have not found that depressed 40-year-olds are lining up for lethal injections or that families are pushing to prematurely end the
lives of marginally ill loved ones. My pious colleague doesn’t like the term dying with dignity. He finds it a misleading phrase, used to camouflage a sinister philosophy. Ironically, he is not as outraged by similarly biased phrases such as right to life, right to work and pro life. It is also ironic that most opponents of the so-called “dying with dignity” movement are also proponents of smaller government, and getting government out of the way, at least in business. In social policy and this instance, however, these same Libertarians are in favour of big government or an Orwellian power over individual decision-making to make sure that no one is euthanizing middle-aged family members against their wishes. If grandpa’s prognosis is imminently terminal, his quality of life torturous, no law works. Rather, what works is no law. Let those immediately involved decide, in consultation with professionals. The rest of us should to stay out of it. If I become terminally ill, I want the decision about whether I am kept alive by a feeding tube made by me, my doctor, and my family, not a law concerned more with the scriptural sanctity of life than with me.

No changes to growth strategy continued from front page
BLACK PRESS
Protecting farmland is one of the goals of Metro Vancouver’s new regional growth strategy. could trigger potential changes. Coquitlam’s demand for mechanisms to gauge how the strategy is working is being addressed through bolstered benchmarking measures under Metro’s annual budget process. S o m e ch a n g e s t o
Metro procedural bylaws will be required. Coquitlam’s other key concerns — that the growth plan is too inconsistent, providing too many exemptions for each city and failing to define what constitutes “regionally significant” — would be
conservation and recreation, and therefore called for fewer restrictions on developing the remaining 30 per cent. Enser called the strategy too narrowly focused, failing to meet the requirements of goods movement, the port and the Pacific Gateway. “We need to consider the provincial interest here and the importance of this region not just to British Columbia but to Western Canada.”

None of the commitments result in any change to the text of the agreement itself, averting the need to go to a new round of public hearings on the strategy. R i c h m o n d M ayo r Malcolm Brodie, Metro’s representative in the dispute-resolution talks, was cautious, saying the potential agreement still has to be fleshed out by staff and be ratified by both Coquitlam council and the full Metro board. “If everything works out it would satisfy Coquitlam and they would turn their minds to consideration of the strategy and to adopt it,” he said. Brodie was hopeful the growth strategy — the master plan governing Metro Vancouver development for decades to come — can be passed by the end of the month. Metro officials had feared that failing to reach a deal would force a lengthier arbitration process that might extend past this fall’s civic elections and put the accord at risk of unravelling. Coquitlam had wanted the ability to change some land-use designations on as little as a one-third vote of the Metro board and to force a review of the growth strategy every five years on a one-third vote of the board. Metro reps refused to consider anything less than majority votes and Coquitlam dropped both ideas. Metro does promise to conduct a board workshop, planning staff workshop and public meeting about the plan every five years, regardless of whether the board votes to conduct a formal review that
referred back to a technical group of planners to determine within a year whether changes are recommended. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said he still has concerns about the plan but believes his city can move forward. “All of our five concer ns have been addressed,” he said. “We have some give and take on both sides.” Maureen Enser, executive director of the Urban Development Institute, said she had hoped the dispute would provide the chance for broader consultations about the concerns lodged by a coalition of business groups about Metro’s growth strategy. She said the plan doesn’t go far enough to consider economic issues. “We have concerns about the increase in red tape to get projects approved,” Enser said. “The economy was not given sufficient attention and this plan is not sustainable.” T h e bu s i n e s s c o alition argued 70 per cent of the region’s land base is tied up in the Agricultural Land Reserve or protected as

Several neighbours said they did not see or hear anything suspicious and only learned of the murder when they saw police setting up the perimeter. Police quickly cordoned off a large area around the crime scene, closing off several roads and snarling local traffic in the area during the after-work commute Wednesday evening. IHIT said it is now leading the investigation with the assistance of the Coquitlam RCMP and the Lower Mainland District Forensic Identification team. Police are also canvassing the neighbourbood in the hopes of finding witnesses and any new information.

Port Moody is going private with its largeitem garbage collection after cancelling 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 re-
move 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. Diana Dilworth said the Smithrite contract would most likely 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

Limits imposed on meeting stipends continued from front page
“Because we hadn’t had a serious increase in several years, the increase is quite high,” he said. Moore said a citizens advisory committee considered the issue two years ago — amid the recession — and concluded council wages should go up once when the economy recovered to bring Port Coquitlam closer in line with similar cities. “They found the mayor and council were substantially underpaid,” he said, adding the mayor’s position had become a full-time job but was never paid accordingly. “I want to make sure it’s fair whether I’m here or the next person’s here.” Several cities in the region — seeking to avoid the spectre of politicians voting up their own pay — automatically tie their mayor and council wages to the regional median or that of a cluster of similar-sized Metro cities. As a result, some mayors’ salaries rise each year and Metro’s fees rise in response — each chasing the other ever higher. The directors’ fees add up to between $10,000 and $20,000 for most directors (on top of their council pay), although some who serve on several active committees get much more. Moore, the chair of Metro’s waste management committee, collected $45,637 from Metro meeting fees last year, second only to the board chair’s stipend. He also collected almost
$15,000 in expenses for Metro-approved travel, more than any other director. Board chair Lois Jackson, who in previous years questioned the formula that automatically raises the fees, said Metro must use some mechanism MOORE to decide pay for its elected directors. “You have to try and compare it with something,” she said. “You’re darned if you do and darned if you don’t.” Jackson argued she reins in costs by not scheduling every committee to meet each month if it’s not warranted. “I’m very conscious of not having a meeting for a meeting’s sake if we don’t have an agenda or something vitally important to be done,” she said. “Overall travel expenses are down and overall the directors’ stipends are down as well.” Metro directors received a
total of $846,000 from meeting fees last year, plus $38,000 in travel expenses. This year’s hike in Metro’s per meeting fees was modest — a point Jackson stressed. But they’ve soared more than 30 per cent from 2008 levels — when councils were last elected — mainly due to a big one-year jump from $253 to $316 per meeting in 2009. Jackson noted Metro directors are paid much less than TransLink’s unelected directors, who get $1,200 per meeting on top of a $25,000 base stipend. But area mayors also automatically serve on another body — the Mayors Council on Regional Transportation, which approves or rejects funding increases for TransLink. Mayors get paid $500 each time the mayors council meets and the chair (Richard Walton)
gets a flat stipend of $5,000. The flat stipends of the Metro chair and vice chair also rise at the same rate as the meeting fees. Jackson now gets $66,082 as Metro board chair — in addition to her $100,000 salary as mayor of Delta — while vicechair Richard Walton gets $33,041. Metro directors earlier this year voted to limit themselves to being paid for a maximum of two meetings on the same day. That limits them to a daily maximum of $660 and ends the possibility — which happened a couple of times last year — of directors attending three meetings in the same day for almost $1,000. They made no move to reconsider the formula of automatic increases. Metro board directors aren’t directly elected, they’re selected by each council. Metro committee members are picked by the board chair.

Maillardville pioneering family reunites Saturday

French-Canadian family marks 100 years since their ancestors arrived
At left, Maillardville pioneer George Proulx in 1923 and, below, his top hat that his family preserved over the years.
By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Dozens of relatives born from a Maillardville pioneering family will descend on their old French-Canadian stomping g rounds tomor row (Saturday) to mark 100 years since their ancestors chugged into town. The descendants of George and Fabiana Proulx will hold a reunion at Coquitlam’s Place Maillardville, some of whom are travelling as far afield as Alberta to attend the historic event. George Hector Proulx was the eldest of six children from Aime Proulx and his wife, Elodie, who arrived via train in 1910 from Stoke, Quebec during the Fraser Mills heydays. Other Maillardville settlers that came that year included the Bedard, Girard and Pare families. According to the Maillardville Residents’ Association, the Proulx family started the Proulx Store and George managed the business at the corner of Laval Street and Pitt River Road, which in 1913 became the post office. It burned down around 1929 and was rebuilt; the post office — and its post mark — remained in the store until 1972 when new owners took over. George and Fabiana Proulx had eight children: Rose “Alma” and her twin “Rose” Alba; Gerry; Georgette; Frances; Alice; Aime (who died at 18 in a car crash); and Edward (who died at 10 in a snow sledding accident). George Proulx also built a home on Brunette Avenue.

The Proulx Store, from the Maillardville Residents’ Association website. City records show George Proulx was named reeve of the district of Coquitlam in 1923, succeeding L.E. Marmont who had served since 1918; R.C. MacDonald took over the top job the following year and served for 17 years. Proulx died in 1937. Barbara Bettles, the eldest daughter of Rose Alma and John Foster, and sister to Yvonne, Edward, Joan and Dennis, said 22 first cousins will be at the reunion — many of whom she hasn’t seen for about 40 years. Some relatives have sent photos of the family, which will be part of a DVD compilation that will be donated to the Mackin House Museum in Coquitlam. Relatives have also drawn family trees for the reunion to trace the ancestry for the younger generations, said Bettles, whose family moved from Stewart Avenue to Burnaby when she was seven. The reunion will also feature stories, a skit, French-Canadian music and walking tours of Maillardville, Bettles said. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Fox leaders found for Coq., PoMo Two organizers have stepped forward to organize the Coquitlam and Port Moody annual Terry Fox Runs after the provincial foundation recently put out a call for help. The assistance of Marta Jackson and Mike Clay, both Port Moody residents, means the September events will not be cancelled and money will continue to be raised for cancer research at Fox runs in those communities. The plea came after last year’s Coquitlam organizer, Donna Louie, backed out as she is now working at the PoCo foundation office; the charity does not allow its staff to be volunteer run co-ordinators. “We are so excited to have Coquitlam back this year,” provincial director Donna White said in a news release. “It would’ve been such a shame for it to lose steam after only one year.”

Chronicling a community Tri-City News photographer Craig Hodge told stories one photo at a time By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
O
ver 37 years in the news business, you’re bound to see some things. And if you’re Craig Hodge, a dedicated TriCity Newss photographer who once famously shot an assignment while rushing his pregnant wife to hospital, you’re going to capture those moments no matter what. And so, after more than 18,000 photos published, 380,000 kilometres travelled, 14 national and 22 provincial photo awards and two brushes with flying bullets, we’re taking a quick look back through the lens of one of the most distinguished news careers in the TriCities. Hodge is retiring, but not, he says, leaving his community involvement. What began humbly while working on the yearbook in eleventh grade at Coquitlam’s Centennial secondary, where a teenage Hodge first had a camera thrown into his lap — because his typing skills were so lacking, he says, and we in the newsroom agree — soon became a budding career when he was hired on as a summertime shutterbug at the now-defunct Columbian newspaper. At 16, he was by far the youngest shooter at the province’s oldest newspaper. And when that paper went under a decade later in 1983, the still-young Hodge was snapped up to head the photo department at the new paper that would rise in the Columbian’s wake. “We almost called it The PoCoMo News,” he remembers of an early meeting of the founders of the as-yet unnamed paper in the as-yet unincorporated Tri-City region of Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam.
“And I don’t take credit for picking the name The TriCity News, I just take credit for making sure it wasn’t The PoCoMo News.” Many of those early issues of The Newss were actually laid out on Hodge’s kitchen table with his bathroom serving as the paper’s first photo darkroom. In the time since, Mr. Hodge always kept a camera in his trunk and was often first on scene. So often, in fact, that he was once accused by a Coquitlam fire chief of starting a string of house fires he’d been beating the department to. We should note that he was, of course, cleared of any blame by the RCMP. But the point being that for every historic happening in the region over the past four decades, from wildfires to Willie Pickton, Rick Hansen’s world tour to the Olympic torch relay, Mr. Hodge, when permitted, had a front-row seat. When not permitted, usually just a long lens and some leafy cover would do. Yet in his 37 years in the business, shooting celebrities and royalty, riots and rock concerts, Mr. Hodge maintains that his fondest memories are of taking pictures of ordinary people doing ordinary things. Ask him about his most memorable shots and he’s less likely to prattle on about the notches in his warstory belt — there are many — and more likely to tell about pulling over to the shoulder of Coast Meridian Road last year, to take a picture of a young girl picking dandelions with her mom along the side of the road. “And after when I stopped to get her name, the mom said, ‘You took my picture when I was her age.’ And I thought, how cool is that, that she remembered that I took her picture when she was a little girl?” Anyone who would like to contact Craig Hodge is asked to email him at chodge@axion.net.
For 37 years, Craig Hodge, above, chronicled the changes taking place in the Lower Mainland, including the Tri-Cities, with camera lens, starting at the now-defunct Columbian daily newspaper when he was just 16. One of the first photographs he ever had published was of a young boy, below, who was entranced with a butterfly. Among the highs and lows of community life — Hodge has photographed celebrities, criminals and royalty — over the years, were moments of high drama and emotion, such as the photo, below left, taken Feb. 19, 2001 when Coquitlam firefighter Steve Piccolo rescued a cat while fighting an apartment fire at 906 Ingersoll Ave., which was the largest fire in that city’s history.

At left, Terry Fox at a BC Lions Game, one of his last public appearances in the fall of 1980.
More dramatic moments in Craig Hodge’s career: photo at left, Terry’s family says good-bye following his funeral in July, 1981. Hodge was the only news photographer invited grave side for this emotional moment. Above, on April 23, 1988, a colleague covering the opening of Save-On-Foods in Metrotown called to say the roof had collapsed during the store’s grand opening. Within minutes, Hodge had booked a helicopter and shot the only still photos before the airspace was closed off. The photos of the shocking event were published around the world.

18th annual Parade of Renovated Homes a success
GVHBA puts home renos on display Renovators and their clients from throughout the Lower Mainland came out to strut their stuff last month. The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) held its 18th annual Parade of Renovated Homes on June 12, which saw 12 homes with recently completed projects opened to the public. GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson describes the event as a big success, with each home averaging between 180 and 200 visits and some receiving as many as 265. Contractors were on hand to explain the projects to prospective clients, while homeowners got a chance to show off their snazzy new digs. “They enjoyed it as much as the folks who were touring,” Simpson says. “Everybody
seemed to be quite happy, they got lots of ideas.” With Lower Mainland homeowners set to spend $4.4 billion on renovations this year, Simpson says the parade was a great way for homeowners to find inspiration for their own houses and also meet contractors. “I view it as a great success as an awareness event, where people can see how renovations should be done,” he says. Simpson says the visitors left with lots of ideas for renovations in their own homes. “They could see that their dreams for their homes are quite doable,” he says. “They left enthused to go home and start their process.” Those who missed the event can visit www. gvhba.org for information on the projects and tips on starting your own renovation.
‘The interest from the public has been phenomenal’
Magnolia is growing in Richmond by Kerry Vital
If you’re looking to get away while still being in the middle of everything, Townline’s The Gardens in Richmond will be just the place for you. The development’s first residential project, Magnolia, is only the beginning of this amazing space. “The Gardens is unique in the sense that you will be away from it all, but ... everything you will need is at your door step,” says Townline’s Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Chris Colbeck. Magnolia will be a four-storey building with three levels of residential, anchored by retail space on the bottom floor. A total of 92 apartment homes will be released, and sales will be starting soon. Colbeck is expecting a great turnout. “Based on the the unique purchasing opportunity that The Gardens provides, the interest from the public has been phenomenal,” he says. “The fact the purchasers will essentially have a 12acre natural garden at their doorstep is an amazing attraction that (they) will not find elsewhere.” Floorplans range from 485 to 919 square feet, and are available in a variety of one-bedroom and twobedroom floorplans. While each home has its own unique
charm, all of them have a plethora of amazing features. Prospective homeowners who have stopped into the presentation centre have no shortage of compliments. “(They) are loving the suite layout and the stylish West Coast homes and architecture,” Colbeck says. Every kitchen will be built in a modern U-shape, which gives homeowners a large amount of counter space so you’ll never need to worry about where to put anything. Luxurious quartzite slab countertops and matte white backsplash tiles combine for a sleek, contemporary look, as if a splash of sauce will never mar the cool perfection. A stainless-steel appliance suite is ready for all your cooking needs, and soft-close cabinets with brushed nickel hardware and undercabinet puck lighting are seamlessly integrated into the entire design. Bathrooms at Magnolia are built to be soothing and serene. Soaker tubs are included, and faux marble ceramic tub splash tiles are the perfect complement.
Polished-chrome faucets by Moen are standard, in addition to the hardware by Taymor and a ceramic drop-in white sink that brings to mind a luxury hotel bathroom. Buyers at The Gardens will have access to The Gardens Club, which will hold a badminton court, ping pong, basketball hoops, a meeting room and a fully equipped gym. Situated on the site of the former Fantasy Gardens, only a castle is still standing at The Gardens. The castle, a replica of Coevorden Castle in the Netherlands that was given to the city for Expo 86, will be turned into a daycare centre.
The Gardens is impossibly close to everything a homeowner will need, from shopping to restaurants. Across the street from the Ironwood and Coppersmith shopping centres, The Gardens is also close to excellent public and private schools, and is minutes away from the Canada Line. Residents looking for entertainment will find it at Riverport, where they will discover the SilverCity movie theatres, The Zone bowling alley and WaterMania pool, just a few minutes away by car. Homes at Magnolia start at $218,800 for a one-bedroom. For more information visit liveatthegardens.ca or call 604-271-3331.
“
Everything you will need is at your doorstep,” says Townline’s Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Chris Colbeck.

Celebrate
THE GOLDEN YEARS
Summer fairs of yesteryear limitations. Francofête was re-launched in 2007 but to date has not been sustainable.
YOUR HISTORY Jill Cook
S
ummer Fairs have always been a big part of community life. They date back to the Roman times when a fair signalled a break from labour and an opportunity to enjoy the entertainments and fare (one of the original spellings of fair) which were on offer. In medieval times, fairs developed as venues for local farmers and trades people to showcase and sell their products, produce and livestock and for the community to gather for games and fun. In the context of our local history there were similar gatherings during the nineteen teens and twenties. The Booth Farm (located in the 1700 block of Brunette Ave.) was the largest dairy farm in the region and every Canada Day they celebrated with a picnic. Families came, men brought beer, there were sack races, egg races, softball and the chance to win prizes. The picnics were family events and all took part. Music and dancing was an integral part of these community events. Indeed, the Fanfare Canadienne Française de Maillardville was a brass band featuring 12-15 members. It was formed in 1913 and was still playing in 1925. They played at all the major Maillardville functions and would lead parades to the Booth’s dairy farm. The granddaddy of all summer fairs for our region was, of course, the PNE. It celebrated its 100th anniversary last year. Originally, it was designed to showcase the area’s wealth of natural resources and potential for agricultural and “technological innovation.” We all know that it has evolved to be much more than its original intent. In 1945-46, Maillardville held its own “Frenchman’s Frolic,” a community festival held at Mackin Park. Brunette Avenue was blocked off as a midway. They crowned Helen Gagné, a pretty 18-year-old, as Frolic Queen; 14,000 voted in this hotly-contested event. People made merry and danced beneath coloured strings of lights and there were concessions including fortune wheels, slot machines and bingo. Why this summer fair did

By 1979 it had 15,000 attendees. It featured a range of crafts including jewellery, batik, macramé, and pottery. There were softball
games, a soap box derby, hockey, and a broomball match. Choirs and amateur singers were also featured. It was a regional celebration and, by all accounts, a very successful one. Yet, by 1980 most of the events were cancelled due to lack of experienced volunteers and financial

I have been suffering from severe arthritis on my right shoulder and elbow. With limited range of motion, even simple actions such as putting food in the mouth became very difficult. After a series of low laser therapy at Tri-City Chiropractic Inc., my shoulder and elbow saw great improvement. My range of motion improved significantly and life is easier and pain free.

Heathers a beautiful addition to the garden IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter
I
t must be the Irish in me that makes me think summer-blooming heathers are some of our most beautiful summer garden plants. Their colours are so rich and vibrant that, massed together, they are simply stunning. Heathers are drought tolerant, and during hot, stressful days, they add fresh new life and colour to any garden. Over the years, I have found that the odd winter is severe enough to be tough on summer-blooming callunas. Part of the winter loss problem is due to cold winds and little snow protection. This problem can be alleviated by planting your heathers in a sheltered location or by using insulating cloth (looks a lot like Remay) as a quick and easy protective covering. But in fact, far more heathers are lost due to improper planting and care than to frost. If you’re like me and are determined to grow and enjoy these beautiful plants, then here’s the game plan. Drainage is the key. Heathers do not like wet feet, so they must be in a location that has porous soil. A one third each mixture of peat moss, bark mulch and sand seems to be ideal. Always make certain the plants are moist before planting by giving them a 30 second soaking in a pail of warm water. Telltale bubbles will rise out of the rootball if the plant was too dry. Before planting, be sure you gently massage the rootball of each plant to loosen all the
root hairs, freeing them to pick up moisture. Keep summer heathers moist at all times, especially during the warm days of summer. Plant your summer heather in a sunny area, well protected from any severe winter winds. Banks with a southern exposure are ideal, and raised beds are always preferable because of their warmer soil temperatures and better drainage. It is also surprising how much shade callunas will tolerate, although they tend to become a little more leggy, which can be handled by proper pruning. A wide selection of summer-blooming heathers that suit all kinds of landscape situations are available today. Low, compact varieties, such as the new double white ‘Kinlochcruel’, the double pink ‘County Wicklow’, the crimson red ‘Darkness’ and ‘Velvet Knight’, are gorgeous as ground covers. Don’t forget, they also make terrific cut and dried flowers for arrangements. Nothing quite matches a bouquet of fresh cut heather in a glass vase. The old variety, ‘H.E. Beale’, is still one of the most known for cuts, but ‘Jana’ is a new double red that is also ideal. Other varieties, like the silver foliaged ‘Silver Knight’ and ‘Velvet Fascination’ are great too. Today, there is a wide selection of summer flowering varieties that blend beautifully with annuals, perennials and ornamental grasses. I like planting heathers in groupings of three or five and combining them with winter-flowering varieties for a green contrast now and gorgeous colour all winter long. A few well chosen dwarf conifers, especially the blue and gold varieties, blend in nicely too.

High-powered Jr. A’s 20-0, with one to go By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Twenty down, one to go. Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs are on the cusp of squeaky-clean regular season, after burying the Burnaby Jr. Lakers 15-5 in a B.C. Junior ‘A’ lacrosse league game Wednesday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. A victory over the 11-7 Delta Islanders in Ladner on Saturday would give the Jr. A’s an unblemished 21-0 record, making them the first squad to finish the regular campaign with all wins since the Jr. Lakers accomplished that feat in 2006. Jr. A’s general manager Ken Wood was cautious with his words Thursday when asked about the prospect of a perfect season. “I feels good... I don’t really want to say too much now because we haven’t done it quite yet,” Wood told The Tri-City News. “Talk to
me Sunday and I may be able to offer you a better quote.” When pressed further, Wood conceded going 21-0 would be a nice accomplishment but, as Jr. A’s head coach Curt Malawsky told The News last week, a second straight Minto Cup national crown next month in Calgary would be a far, far greater one. “[A perfect season] is something no other Coquitlam Jr. ‘A’ team has even done so it would be something to be proud of,” Wood said. “I’d feel good for the players and the coaches. They’re the ones doing it, after all. “But I will reiterate what my head coach said. It really doesn’t matter what we do now as much as what we do in August.” Last summer, the Jr. A’s won all five games as hosts of the four-team Minto Cup to capture their first ever national title. Wood
believes his squad has a good chance of repeating that accomplishment at this year’s Minto to be host by the Alberta’s Okotoks Raiders in Calgary, Aug. 20-28. “I personally think we’re even stronger, even tighter than we were last year,” Wood said of his unit, which has out-scored their opponents by a lopsided 79-26 aggregate its last five games. “I think some guys thought they had to pick up the scoring a bit when we lost [high-scoring graduated junior] Mark Matthews, and I think the players have learned a lot from last year’s experience.” That was most apparent Wednesday, when the Jr. A’s bolted to period leads of 6-2 and 13-2 against Burnaby on way to the 10-goal triumph. Last Sunday was similar, as the Jr. A’s jumped to an 8-1 margin after the first pe-
riod and shelled the Victoria Jr. Shamrocks 14-3 in Coquitlam. Against Burnaby, newly acquired Port Moody product Jackson Decker led the Jr. A’s with four goals and one assist, while Ben McIntosh added three tallies and three helpers. Travis Cornwall also scored twice for Coquitlam. Versus Victoria, Matthew Dinsdale led the potent Jr. A’s attack with four goals and four assists, with Wesley Berg and Ryan Johnson fired in three markers apiece. Meanwhile, the PoCo Saints got out-scored 4-2 in the final frame and dropped a tough 11-10 decision Saturday to the Nanaimo Jr. Timbermen at PoCo Rec Centre. The loss dropped the last-place Saints to 2-17 on the season. Garrett Chan, Richard Lachlan, Andrew Bromley and Matt Delmonico netted two goals apiece for PoCo.
Coquitlam’s Yang in junior golf groove in Kamloops Defending-champion Jennifer Yang of Coquitlam shot a solid one-under par 71 to seize the second-round lead Wednesday at the B.C. Junior Girls Golf Championship at Eaglepoint Resort in Kamloops. Yang, 17, carded two bogeys on the front nine but was able to rally with three birdies on the back to sit at five-under 139 for the tournament and holding a two-stroke lead. “I’m pretty excited to be in the lead. I just wanted to enjoy the round and do my best,”
said Yang, who recently made it to the round of 64 at the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship. “My plan all week is to hit as many fairways as I can and make par but I’ll also try for birdies, too.” Yang vaulted to the top of the leaderboard when first-round leader Megan Osland of Kelowna faltered on the day with a threeover-75, dropping her into a second-place tie with Jisoo Keel, also of Coquitlam.
In a tie for fourth at two-under 142 for the tournament was Soo-Bin Kim, of Port Coquitlam and Stephanie Wong of Richmond. Yang, Osland and Keel were set to tee-off Thursday in the tourney’s last threesome at 9:54 a.m. (after The News’ deadline). Starting times, post-round results and a full field list for the B.C. Junior Girls Championship are available online at http:// bcga.bluegolf.com.
GAROFANO GREAT IN N.Y. Coquitlam’s Trevor Garofano tied for fifth overall in the championship flight at the 59th International Junior Masters match-play tournament that ended last Friday at East Aurora Country Club in New York. Garofano, 17, beat New York’s Ryan Simpson 5 and 3 to make the final-eight round before running out of steam and falling 5 and 3 to Ontario’s Josh Whalen.

Warm, but not too hot, prime climate for insect and fish bites TIGHT LINES Jeff Weltz Later in the day is your best bet It was a sun-burned Sunday for many of us who got out fishing over the Canada Day long weekend. I am sure there are some who, like my youngest child, encountered the misadventure of sun stroke. The jump from January to instant summer July 1 may have caught many of us without sunscreen but it has been a boon to lake fisheries throughout the province. With arrival of summer, it is time to switch our main fishing strate-
gies, concentrating on early mornings and evenings. Do not confuse early mornings with first light. Over the years, I have found that morning bite begins when the sun has warmed the water surface enough for the insects to start moving and ends when the sun gets too hot. The morning bite, because of the variables in water temperature and the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intensity, can be hard to catch. A more consistent and reliable bite comes in the evening. In evening, the water has been warmed all day and insect activity begins as soon as the sun is replaced by shadows. The key is in understanding that insects do not perspire, which leaves them no effective
way of cooling themselves. They require the right temperature to hatch but burn up when it gets too hot. This balance of warm- enough-but-not too-hot facilitates a short window of activity most mornings and large window activity most evenings. I know my critics may not agree with my observations and analysis, which is okay since none of us knows the whole answer and never will â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; unless we learn to speak â&#x20AC;&#x153;insect.â&#x20AC;?

Remember to always turn the gas valve on ďŹ rst. Keep gas hoses away from hot surfaces and hot grease. Keep children away from the gas valve and the grill. Keep loose clothing away from the hot barbecue. Turn the gas valve off ďŹ rst when you are ďŹ nished to allow the gas in the hose to burn off, and then turn off the burner controls so no gas remains trapped in the hose. 9 Allow your barbecue to cool completely before covering it. 9 Clean the burners and grill regularly to minimize the risk of a serious grease ďŹ re.

Leave the barbecue unattended when in use. Allow grease to build up. Put water on a grease ďŹ re - it will only cause the ďŹ&#x201A;ames to ďŹ&#x201A;are. Barbecue in an enclosed space such as a garage. (For ventilation and safety reasons, move your barbecue into the open at least three metres away from windows and doors.) 9 Place your barbecue near wooden fences or walls, beneath a combustible roof overhang or even under a tree with low branches. (Be extra careful about the area behind the barbecue where hot gases escape and could create a ďŹ re hazard.) 9 Place barbecue close to vinyl siding as the heat can melt vinyl with little or no warning.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS 7
OBITUARIES BISSETT, Donna (Cairns) February 6, 1942 to July 3, 2011
It is with heavy hearts that our family has to say goodbye to Donna Cairns Bissett, who passed suddenly on Sunday evening. She leaves behind daughters Jennifer (Richard) Crouch and Andrea (Pat) Deml, sister Lynne (Craig) Murchie; 4 beautiful granddaughters: Mellissa, Callie, Taylor and Jessica; grandson Andrew; great grandson Tristan, and a large amount of cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family. She is predeceased by her husband of 40 years, Bill, who passed away only 8 months ago. Donna was all about her family, and had spent the last 10 years dedicated to caring for her husband Bill, while he battled kidney disease, she had just started to adjust to life without him. Donna looked forward to her weekly visits with her daughter and granddaughter, and connected with both daughters everyday, sending loving messages on the computer every morning when she got up. Donna had found a Facebook a great way for her to keep up with all the members of our family, keeping us all drawn close together. As everybody’s best friend, she always had a positive attitude, she could be told anything in confidence, never passed judgment, and always had encouraging words. Donna was always there for her family and friends, through thick and thicker, and she was the glue that helped keep us strong. She worked as a one-to-one care worker for multi-handicapped children for over 20 years, and although she fully retired over 4 years ago, she still took the odd shift at the local preschool when they needed an extra set of hands. Every year Bill and Donna would drive to Wyoming to visit her youngest daughter, and even with Bill’s passing, this year was not to be any different. Except that she would be going with her daughter and granddaughter, and great niece. She was excited and looking forward to the trip. There was nothing Donna liked better than having her family all around her. The BC Kidney Foundation was very dear to Donna, so please in lieu of flowers, donations to the Kidney Foundation are appreciated. Celebration of Life to be held at Meadow Gardens Golf Club, 19675 Meadow Gardens Way, Pitt Meadows at 2:00 pm on July 13, 2011. GOODWIN, Raymond David March 15, 1933 - June 21, 2011
Passed away peacefully after his long battle with cancer. Survived by his loving wife Jeannette of 55 years and their son Raymond and daughter Yvonne. He will be sadly missed.
