Pressure on to reduce MP pensions Taxpayer federation launches new campaign

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is keeping the pressure on members of Parliament to curtail their pensions and bring them more into line with the average worker.

Wednesday it launched a national “Fed up?” billboard campaign, telling taxpayers they’re dishing out $24 into the MPs’ pension plans for every dollar contributed by the politicians.

An online and telephone petition also was launched.

“With the government planning on tinkering with the MP pension plan this fall, taxpayers must take action now to ensure those reforms are significant and not just putting lipstick on this pig,” says the federation.

The process, though, of hiking MPs contributions already could be underway, says Pitt Meadows-Maple RidgeMission MP Randy Kamp.

Crimes reported to Canadian police forces reached their lowest level in 39 years in 2011, a trend that’s reflected in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

Statistics Canada reported Tuesday that the country’s overall police-reported crime rate dropped

six per cent in 2011 from the previous year, with two million Criminal Code violations reported — 110,000 fewer than in 2010.

Overall, it marked the eighth consecutive decrease in Canada’s crime rate.

Since peaking in 1991, the crime rate has generally decreased, and is now at its lowest point since 1972.

Locally, police report a similar trend.

According to Ridge Meadows RCMP statistics, criminal offences dropped by 13 per cent over 2010

and 2011 in Maple Ridge, while they rose by one per cent in Pitt Meadows.

“Maple Ridge is no different. Pitt Meadows has seen a slightly lower drop, Supt. Walsh but this may be in part due to the opening of the new Golden Ears Bridge and the new Pitt River Bridge, which

has increased traffic flow and accessibility,” said Supt. Dave Walsh, officer in charge of the Ridge Meadows detachment.

“The downward trend is likely a blend of several factors. Changing demographics with our population aging, along with consistent and proactive crime reduction strategies by policing agencies country wide.”

Police services in Canada also reported about 424,400 incidents of violent crime, a drop of 14,800 from the year before.

Psychosis toolkit to help patients get on with life

To anyone who passes course, gets licence

Fraser Health and the provincial health ministry have developed a new toolkit for people experiencing psychosis to help them better manage the symptoms and life altering effects of their condition.

The toolkit, called Dealing with Psychosis: A toolkit for moving forward with your life, will empower people experiencing psychosis who are working to take control of their lives.

Often considered a disruptive, confusing and frightening experience, psychosis affects a person’s ability to know what is real versus what is not. Further blurring the lines of reality, sufferers of psychosis typically experience hearing voices and having unusual thoughts. About three per cent of all people will experience psychosis at some point in their lives.

“The good news is that psychosis is treatable,” said Dr. Bill MacEwan, physician leader for the Early Psychosis Intervention Program at Fraser Health. “With this toolkit, and the love and support of their family, friends and health care professionals, people will be able to move forward with their lives.”

The guide, when used along with professional medical treatment, will hopefully enable individuals to cope and recognize the symptoms of psychosis, and develop techniques to deal with everyday challenges.

The toolkit encourages individuals to identify a “Support Person” who will assist them in their learning process.

This person will walk with the client through the educational and coping strategies beneficial to recovery.

Along with encouraging the support of a friend, family or health professional, the toolkit provides concrete, simple solutions for managing life.

One example is using a calendar, or daily planner, to reduce stress and ensure a good balance of time for family, friends, recreation and relaxation – all important elements in dealing with, and avoiding future episodes of psychosis.

The toolkit was developed through a thorough review of the published research evidence, consultation with provincial experts in the area of early psychosis, and a Provincial Advisory Committee represented by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Children and Family Development, health authorities, and feedback from individuals with psychosis, family members, and clinicians.

“This tool reflects the work underway as part of our 10-year plan to address mental health and substance use and will help better support individuals living with this condition,” said Minister of Health Michael de Jong.

F

irearms like those used in the massacre in Aurora, Col. are available in Maple Ridge and online, to anyone who can pass a firearms course and get a possession and acquisition licence.

While the AR-15 rifle used in the July 20 theatre killing that claimed 12 lives is a restricted weapon in Canada, it’s easily obtainable, providing the buyer passes the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course and his or her background checks out.

And if an AR-15 is not on hand, several other rifles have the same .223 calibre and semi-automatic features – such as the Mossberg Tactical rifle available at Wanstalls Hunting and Shooting on Lougheed Highway. It’s also a .223-calibre, semi-automatic model (similar to a .22, but with a larger bullet casing) that’s styled to look like an AR-15 and comes with a 25-round magazine for $289, although it’s a low-powered gun that uses less powerful shells, which means it can have a larger magazine.

For slightly more, there’s the Norinco M-14S Scout – a civilianized version of the older M-14 battle rifle used by U.S. troops. It’s an unrestricted rifle and goes for $439.

On the higher end, there’s a Swiss Arms Black Special, same calibre, for $3,599, or another Norinco, AR-15 style, that’s restricted and comes with a bayonet fixture for $699. Generally, restricted firearms are handguns, or rifles that have shorter barrel lengths or collapsible stocks that make them easier to carry.

If you want something that’s been proven in the field, the SVT-40 is a non-restricted “Soviet semi-automatic battle rifle,” widely used during and after the Second World War and sells for $299.

In order to buy a non-restricted weapon, which usually encompasses ordinary hunting rifles, the Canadian Firearms Safety Course must be passed, then a possession and acquisition licence acquired. The licence is just a general permit to own firearms and doesn’t apply to individual guns.

Buying a restricted weapon also requires taking the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course and means the firearms are subject to tougher transport rules. The whole process takes a few months, requires police background checks and involves Wanstalls doing its own verification of permits, for its overthe-counter and online sales.

The process of getting a firearms licence is separate from the former additional requirement to register a long gun, something no longer re-

Craig Jones of Wanstalls, holding a Core 15, a variant of an AR 15, with two Glock 22’s in the foreground, would like to see looser gun control laws, allowing people to carry handguns. quired because of the abolition of the gun registry this past spring.

In Canada, prohibited weapons usually refer to machine guns, which are banned outright.

Like dozens of other semi-automatics, the AR-15 “looks the part more than plays the part,” because the trigger must be pulled for each shot, compared to fully automatic machine guns, says Craig Jones, at Wanstalls.

For him, the debate about whether more gun laws are needed has outlived its usefulness and points out there’s less clamour in the U.S. to tighten gun rules after the latest in a string of mass shootings.

“I think it’s time to go the other way and look at what we can do to prevent it.”

He compares the issue to that of a drunk driver who caused an accident. Whether the vehicle was stolen or not, the results are the same.

Jones pointed out that the suspect in the Colorado shooting, James Eagan Holmes, 24, passed the background checks in the U.S. for acquiring a gun.

“How do you prevent that?”

According to media reports, the AR-15 had a 100-round magazine, but in Canada, magazine size is limited to five bullets for most semiautomatics and 10 bullets for most handguns.

For Jones, the issue of firearms control and dealing with unstable people, are almost unrelated.

How many useless gun laws do you pass, he asks.

Do you take guns away from everyone, including the military and

police?

Instead, he’d like to see looser laws in Canada to allow people to carry handguns.

“It’s always the second gun, when somebody shows up and starts shooting somebody else … it doesn’t stop until a second gun gets on scene,” whether that’s being carried by a civilian or police.

He added in “crime-free Los Angeles,” people are not allowed to carry any handguns.

Jones said the AR-15, a civilianized, semi-automatic version of the fully automatic M-16 machine gun, is used for hunting in the U.S., something outlawed in Canada because of its restricted status.

It’s impossible to figure out why some rifles are restricted, with more limitations on their use, and some aren’t, or banned outright, he added.

“Your guess is as good as mine.”

It’s almost as if the government looked at photos of guns and decided, “something black and scary – prohibited.”

But the AR-15 is popular with hunters because of its accuracy and small recoil and because former soldiers know the gun because of their training on the M-16. The same thing happened with the .303 rifle following the Second World War, he pointed out.

In addition to a shotgun, two Glock handguns also were used in the attack. Two models of Glock .40-calibre handguns are available at Wanstalls.

Stores in the U.S. have reported an increase applications for background checks to acquire weapons,

but Jones has noticed no change here. His store, which launched an online service a few years ago, is one of the largest online suppliers in Canada.

Ridge-Meadows RCMP Insp. Dave Fleugel said police are encountering more illegal weapons compared to a decade ago, with most of those smuggled into Canada.

“We are seeing and seizing, police in general, they’re dealing with more firearms and weapons than they have in the past.”

RCMP Insp. Dave Fleugel

“We are seeing and seizing, police in general, they’re dealing with more firearms and weapons than they have in the past.”

A decade ago it used to be rare for police to seize guns, “now it’s fairly common.”

He said police make it regular practice to apply to the courts to seize firearms any time a violent domestic dispute is investigated.

When it comes to the firearms in the hands of the mentally unstable, “The mentally ill client that we deal with, it’s not often that they have lawfully obtained firearms,” Fleugel said.

They’d usually be screened out in the firearms application process.

Car Care Pitt Meadows intersection bad for motorcycles Harris Road has highest rate of motorcycle crashes

A/C

Motorcyclists riding through the City of Pitt Meadows should be on high alert when they approach the intersection of Harris Road and Lougheed Highway.

According to statistics released by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia Thursday, the intersection logged the most number of motorcycle crashes over a period of five years, with 588 accidents reported.

Crime from front Both the rate and severity of violent crime fell four per cent in 2011.

It was the fifth consecutive annual decline in the severity of violent crime.

Police reported nearly 90,300 incidents of impaired driving in 2011, 3,000 more than the year before. The rate of impaired driving increased two per cent in 2011, the fourth increase in five years.

In 2011, police reported more than 113,100 drug crimes, of which more than half or 54 per cent were for the possession of cannabis.

Ridge Meadows RCMP said locally, too, there may be a slight rise in drug and impaired driving charges.

“In regards to impaired driving, this has been somewhat sporadic with the new Immediate Roadside Prohibition Legislation,” said

Walsh.

“The new legislation has been a very effective tool in removing impaired drivers and reducing accidents and deaths. When it is in effect, there tends to be less criminal code charges. But many more drivers are taken off the road as a roadside prohibition can be processed in about a quarter of the time it takes to process an impaired driver.”

found decreases in several major categories, including attempted murder, major assaults, sexual assaults, robberies, break-ins and motor vehicle thefts.

Walsh, however, noted that statistics do not capture non-crime related police work, such as media relations, special event policing, community policing, nuisance calls about bears and other wildlife, or Mental Health Act apprehensions.

“The reality is that more than 70 per cent of police work is not related to criminal offences, but rather it is dealing with social issues,” he said.

The federal government credits its “toughon-crime” agenda for pushing the crime rate to a 39-year low.

Randy Kamp, the

member of parliament for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission, said his government’s approach has put deterrents in place that discourage people from committing crime.

The omnibus crime bill that was passed in the House of Commons last year put in place new mandatory minimum sentences for certain drug offences and tougher sentences for other crimes, such as sexual offences.

“Whether [the measures] reduce crime or not, we think there needs to be public denunciation,” said Kamp.

“I also think some of the approaches to policing that have been taken have helped to focus on the small percentage of the people who are involved in a large percentage of crime.”

ALIGNMENTS Everyday at the shop I receive at least two or three calls inquiring about the cost of a wheel alignment.

My answer to that question is followed by another question, why do you need an alignment? Most of the time the person enquiring about getting an alignment incorrectly assumes that an alignment will fix their vehicles problem.

When you phone Westside the person you most often talk too is yours truly, and I’ve built our shops reputation on getting to the root of the problem you’re trying to fix. So unlike many folks you talk to in other locations I will quiz you by asking you some simple, easy to answer questions about why you think you need an alignment. The reason for this method is also quite easy to answer. 99% of people think getting their vehicle a wheel alignment will fix their vehicle’s problem when in fact it does not fix anything.

There are a number of problems that are quite often blamed on a bad wheel alignment which are worn out front end components, suspension components and the most common of them all, worn out tires. Now here’s where the confusion creeps in, after most front end repairs you require an alignment to ensure that your vehicle steers & tracks down the road properly.

So lets go through the most common front end complaints which require parts to be replaced before you do an alignment: • The steering wheel shakes at a certain speed and then might go away if you avoid that speed.

• The entire car shakes when you first start off at slow speeds and then goes away when you get up to highway speed.

• A rattle or a clunk sound is heard when traveling over washboard road or going slow over the railroad tracks or a rough surfaced bridge.

• The vehicle wants to pull to one direction and you need to hold on to the steering wheel to track down the road in a straight line, or it wants to drift if you don’t pay attention.

All of these and many more symptoms, while blamed on wheel alignment, are in fact repairs required to replace worn out components or tires. When the symptoms get bad enough for you to notice them, and they get worse over time you’re essentially playing a very dangerous game by continuing to drive your vehicle in that condition. We deal with these problems daily, we sell tires if required, and can get you fixed up and back on the road in very short order, so there is no need to risk driving a vehicle with these symptoms.

Feel free to give us a call and I’ll do my best to explain to you and answer any questions you may have. Remember the only dumb question is the one you don’t ask, there are no dumb questions when it comes to the safety of you and the occupants of the vehicles you drive.

The second worst intersection in the city is Kennedy Road at Lougheed Hwy.. where 419 motorcycle crashes were recorded.

Since 2007, there have been 1,826 motorcycle crashes in Pitt Meadows, compared to 6,743 in Maple Ridge.

However the stretch of Lougheed Hwy.. between Harris Rd. and Kennedy Rd. accounts for more than half of the crashes in Pitt Meadows.

The worst intersection for motorbikes in Maple Ridge was Dewdney Trunk and Lougheed Highway, where 430 crashes were recorded

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Vigilant gun control The sad reality of the shooting rampage at the Colorado movie theatre last week is that the same guns used by the accused are just as readily available to anyone in Canada.

James Eagan Holmes, 24 is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 58 others. More could have been injured had the military-style semi-automatic rifle he was using not jammed. He then switched to the 12-gauge shotgun and a pistol he was also carrying to fire on theatregoers.

He had bought them recently at gun stores, as well as 6,000 rounds of ammunition over the internet.

He passed the background checks in the U.S. for acquiring a gun.

Anyone who passes the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course and acquires a possession and acquisition licence could walk into Wanstalls in Maple Ridge and purchase firearms like those used in the massacre in Aurora, Col. Now, as following other mass shootings in the U.S. in recent years, there are again calls to make gun laws more strict, calls for leadership and courage, to not fear gun lobbyists, to do what is best, what is most safe, what is right.

But crime rates in Canada, including those for violent crimes, continue to fall.

Local RCMP are encountering more illegal weapons compared to a decade ago, although most of those are smuggled into Canada.

So, where there’s a will there’s a way.

Mass murderers, like serial killers or rapists, are driven by something disturbing and would only adapt to more restrictions, choose another weapon, so to speak, as James Holmes showed with his homemade bombs.

Again, he passed the background checks in the U.S. for acquiring a gun. How do you prevent that?

When it comes to the firearms in the hands of the mentally unstable, RCMP find that not often have they lawfully obtained them.

Still, the U.S. is a prime example of how lax gun laws and the resulting prevalence of rifles and handguns causes thousands of deaths yearly. There’s room for further ratcheting down controls on guns by keeping the most militaristic weapons off the market. There could be a strong argument to limit rifles to those used for hunting only. Is a semi-automatic required to kill deer and moose?

Canada has to be vigilant that as guns swamp the border, its strong firearm control isn’t eroded, as U.S. gun companies look for new markets.

Gun restrictions may not reduce crime, but guns kill.

Destroy the trees, kill the root hairs R

emember Dr. Don Huber?

He’s the microbiologist who says Monsanto’s herbicide, glyphosate (RoundUp) does more than kill weeds by reducing their ability to absorb nutrients. It nukes the same micro-organisms in the soil needed for Along the Fraser food plants to absorb Jack Emberly nutrients.

This includes the corn and soy we eat – most is genetically modified to survive glyphosate – and the alfalfa that meat animals are fed in the U.S. Huber warns of fewer nutrients in our food, and negative health affects from consuming herbicide indirectly. The eco-system is a complex community of interdependent organisms, and we are what we eat.

Enter, Herb Hammond, a self-described “recovering forester” who co-founded the Silva Forest Foundation, a B.C. organization that helps communities implement responsible conservation-based economies.

Hammond’s focus in timber use is not on targets for production but, “on what to protect ... and then on what to take.”

The ecosystem remains functional. Biodiversity is maintained, beginning with life in the soil.

These ideas form the sacred ancestral knowledge of aboriginal people like the St’’at’imc Nations near Lilloet. In June, Hammond was there to address the Inter-

Q

uestion of the week:

national Indigenous Leaders Gathering, an open four-day event called Protecting the Sacred. Its aim was to honor ancestral wisdom – a lifeline for Sta’’at’imc troubled youth – and to enlist people of all cultures in sustainable resource practices before it’s too late. The Lilloet report diseased farmed salmon in their river now. Mother Earth, they say, is in crisis.

Hammond knew about Huber’s research of micro-organisms, and had a story of his own about the importance of microscopic entities that are essential to trees.

“In Labrador, I was teaching young Inuit how forests function,” Hammond says. The topic was the carpet of fungi in the ground; trillions of organisms in the soil. These fungi are connected to the roots of plants.

They transfer nutrients to them through osmosis. “It’s a symbiotic relationship,” says Hammond.

Destroy the trees, you kill the root hairs.

At one point, Hammond was surprised by a young Inuit who told him his people had always known about this, but didn’t use the word, fungi.

“They called the unseen entities, soil hairs. Indigenous culture doesn’t have to take things apart to see how they work.

It just accepts that fact. It’s the starting and ending point for an ethic that won’t change.”

Hammond says this is a kincentric, or people-orientated approach to life. It’s the belief that people and nature are one interdependent family. Any resource development, therefore, “is caring, inclusive, and welcoming,” says Hammond.

People are seen as benefits, and the

economy is community-based. Talk to anyone who lived through the Great Depression. Folks looked after each other; they shared the goods and services they actually needed. That’s a community-based economy.

Kincentric principles guide the St’’at’imc Land Resource Use Plan regarding the consumption of fish, wildlife, berries. It stipulates, “all resource development “The forests provided indigenous people for millennium,” says Hammond. “All they had to do was maintain it and they had berries, deer. All basic needs – air, food, water, shelter – came from forests.”

Contrast this ethic with the B.C. government’s relaxation of clear cutting restrictions in forests and its impact on the ecosystem. Streams will be muddied, churned up by vehicles, buried; the potential for salmon spawning decreased even more.

“Small streams,” says Hammond, “even the small ones where salmon don’t spawn, produce the water temperature and clarity salmon need. They multiply to make the habitat.”

The Enbridge Pipeline has destroyed forest, according to Hammond. “Extracting oil from the tar sands has resulted in the destruction of thousands of hectares of boreal forest, the most important terrestrial ecosystem for regulating global warming.”

Hammond says resource practices like this are anthropocentric – human beings are the centre of the universe, and everything else is there to serve them. “It’s an ethic that drives the consumer focus, the clear cuts, the urban sprawl.”

THE NEWS/letters Challenges with suites is capacity EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Secondary suites to be reviewed (The News, July 20).

Council needs to change the conversation over secondary suites to address the real issue: capacity The challenges with secondary suites lie with issues of capacity. Be it parking, sewer, water, schools or various other municipal services. These issue are directly and exclusively impacted by the number of occupants of any given residential dwelling.

The current discussion has done nothing do address these challenges and instead has focused on development issues, zoning and bylaw enforcement.

Until we look at the actual number of residents allowed to occupy a given dwelling, none of these problems will be solved.

I currently own a 3,000-square-foot home with my wife and no children. We rent a suite to a young couple, again with no children. There are a total of four occupants residing in a home with five bedrooms and four bathrooms.

We provide on property parking for four vehicles (two in the garage, no less).

My suite is still deemed illegal, even though it was constructed with permits and fully inspected by the district.

Alternatively, a neighbor currently has two families (his own and his brother’s) totalling five adults and six children living in his primary residence, along with a secondary suite (also illegal), occupied by three adults and two children. They also park seven vehicles each night, with three inevitably ending up on the street as they have converted their garage to rental space (without permits or inspections).

I ask council: who is really the problem here?

Who is overtaxing our services?

Who is not paying their fair share of taxes?

The home with four occupants or that with 16?

Now, to be clear, there should be no limits on the number of occupants where a secondary suite is not concerned.

There are cultural issues, I understand, and am sympathetic to where by the definition of a family unit varies.

But where there is a secondary suite involved for profit, there needs to be limits on the total number of occupants allowed within a single family home. A ratio of occupants to square feet and consideration given to the number of bedrooms and bathrooms would be appropriate to prevent such excessive demands of our municipal services.

I agree that enforcement would be a difficult proposition, but I’m confident council and administrators at municipal hall have the necessary skills and expertise to study and define policy and enforcement to solve such a obvious gap in the approach to date.

Until they do, the problems will persist.

Next battle: GMO labelling Emberly from p6 In anthropocentric thinking, people are not seen as benefits, and opponents are the “costs” of doing business.

They’re dismissed, called “radicals,” derailed by legislation.

Ad campaigns are ramped to convince the public that it needs corporate products.

“Corporations have created false needs,” says Hammond.

The resulting products that reflect those needs, “are taken out of the trees, the rocks, the soil. We can’t do that anymore.”

People are finding ways to promote the kincentric ethic within their own communities. Hammond says they will “build a critical mass leading to dramatic constructive change.

In June, we saw proof of that in Richmond when council joined five other B.C. towns by banning genetically modified crops within its boundaries. Monsanto, who had respresentatives there, lobbied in vain against that decision, but it was heralded by a packed chamber of citizens who don’t want GMO vegetables or meats.

The next battle will be to have all GMO foods labelled. Dr. Huber will be smiling.

Public sector pay pure fantasy EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Shine light on perks afforded public sector (Commentary, July 20).

I am a public sector worker residing and employed in Maple Ridge.

First, to compare the City of Scranton, PA to any in this province is ridiculous, considering the situation facing our neighbours to the south. Chris Foulds may as well compare it to Kabul, Afghanistan.

The figures of 30-40 per cent increases to city employees afforded by Mr. Foulds I believe are completely inaccurate. I would love to know and see actual figures, not quotes

from Phil Hochstein or the CTF. It is accurate regarding the sick time accumulation. However, not all locals are able to cash in at the end.

It is also accurate that public sector workers do have a defined pension plan. Every public sector worker pays a percentage into that plan, the employer pays into that plan almost dollar for dollar, much the same as many private sector employers.

I can guarantee, as a public sector worker, that we have not kept up with the cost of living in the past 10 years.

The alternative is to contract

out services.

Mr. Foulds needs look no further than the Richmond School District, which contracted out HVAC services to a large multi-national company that is only after the bottom line. The city’s costs sky rocketed from around $350,000 to $1,000,000. Chump change the taxpayer has to pick up, and company Mr. Hochstein would probably endorse. Not Honeywell (not a typo) spent.

I’m pretty sure all readers would prefer paying a ticketed tradesman $35 bucks an hour, inclusive of all benefits, than $80-$120 an hour with no

vested interest other than to make a profit.

I can assure you I have no idea what living like a Royal is. We are all coping with the rising costs of everything. Our standard of living has dropped dramatically.

We need well-paying jobs to keep this economy going, and frankly should strive for more of the same.

The views of Mr. Foulds seem to be capitalistic, as are those of Mr. Hochstein.

These characters are living in fantasy land. Their figures endorse it.

‘Not the pit bulls, Rottweilers that scare me’ EDITOR, THE NEWS:

tweilers will give you warning before they try to eat you.

Shar-pei, chow, Shiba Inu, Jendo or Akita, all breeds that will wag their tale while they try to take a chunk out of you.

And, of course, there is the animal that scares veterinarians the most, the animal for which we have special gloves and containment boxes: the aggressive cat.

Let’s also not forget the 12-inch scar on my right forearm from being clawed at by a rabbit.

Now before I alienate all my clientele, my point is that pets are animals and caution should be exercised around any animal.

So instead of a gut reaction against pit bulls, why don’t we take a more refined approach. Lets instead target: • Intact male dogs of any breed. Let’s be honest, no one wants your mixed breed cocker spaniel/lhasa as a stud.

• Groups of three or more dogs. Pack mentality can quickly make docile dogs ag-

gressive.

• Keeping your dog leashed.

You know what? If my dog is off leash and goes up to your dog on leash and a fight occurs, it’s my fault.

• Education. Teach children how to safely approach a dog.

No matter how friendly the dog is, a child is pulling on its tail is an accident waiting to happen.

• Training –socialize your dog from a young age. If you don’t have the time in your life to take your dog for a walk, maybe you shouldn’t be having a dog.

• And finally – be honest with yourself. If you are finding yourself with an aggressive dog, talk to your vet.

Maybe it’s got arthritis and in pain. Maybe it’s just one of those dogs that is wired wrong, or the genes that promote the human-animal bond is missing. If your dog is a risk to your family, or your neighbors, consider humane euthanasia.

‘Inevitably, some want to play God’

government in 1991, which found that in 1990, in Holland, of the 8,681 cases of euthanasia reported by doctors, 1,040 were patients killed by their doctors, without knowledge or consent. So much for protective guidelines; inevitably, some want to play God. The experience in Holland apparently went from first permitting doctor assisted suicide of elderly people experiencing a painful terminal illness, then equating physical and mental pain, finally including the young who suffer mental and/or physical challenges.

Many old people in Holland today are afraid to go to the hospital fearing they will be “put down” like a sick dog, without their consent.

Re: Proposed bylaw to single out pit bulls (The News July 18).

I applaud the District of Maple Ridge taking a firm stance on the issue of aggressive dogs.

As a veterinarian, I am frequently called upon to deal with this issue directly. Sometimes it is facing damage one dog has done to another.

The other week myself, another doctor and three of our staff spent six hours sewing up a German Shepherd that had been shredded to pieces by two other dogs.

Sometimes its euthanizing a very aggressive dog that has bitten family members or neighbors.

Last summer, one dog, even though it was sedated and muzzled, still managed to take a chunk of flesh out of my face.

Thankfully, our amazing staff was able to sew me back together with only a slight scar.

A veterinarian’s job is first

EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Assisted suicide is about a choice (Health Care, July 20).

Dr. Marco Terwiel, in his third article on assisted suicide, correctly states that the practice is currently unlawful in Canada, and that B.C. Supreme Court Justice Lynn Smith thinks that is unconstitutional.

In a previous article, he described himself as one with “a lifelong habit of critical appraisal of just about everything that was considered sacred in my profession and in life in general.”

This, I suppose, explains his support for Justice Smith’s decision, counter to the prac-

and foremost human health, a duty I take very seriously.

And yet I find myself disagreeing with the approach of the municipality.

Right now every TV show or movie that wants to show a scary dog will use a pit bull.

Before pit bulls, Dobermans were the vicious dog of choice, and before that it was German shepherds.

But you know what, as a veterinarian, when I walk into an exam room, it’s not the pit bulls and Rottweilers that scare me, it’s the Pomeranians and Chihuahuas.

They are the dogs that most frequently try to bite me.

Or what about the Jack Russell terrier, aka the Jack Russell Terrorist.

Maybe it’s the overly bred golden retrievers, who in the ’90s were known for fear biting.

Dachshunds are known in the veterinary field as land sharks.

Dalmations are also frequently high strung and known to bite, whereas Rot-

tice of almost every civilized country in the world today.

He tries to clarify the difference between assisted suicide, where a doctor is party to killing the patient, and euthanasia, which he describes as the term most of us associate with killing sick pets or dangerous bears and cougars. If we allow our doctors to assist in the suicide of human persons, doesn’t that imply people should be treated like animals, if they find life intolerable at some point?

Dr. Terwiel didn’t mention that the second leading cause of death among teens in Canada is suicide. Surly doctors and everyone else should

be concerned with helping people through difficult life situations, including psychological, as well as physical suffering.

He perhaps doesn’t know that a group critical of Justice Smith’s ruling, the Council of Canadians with Disabilities, an organization made up of and representing handicapped Canadians, stated in a press release on July 13 that “there is a concern that vulnerable people will be put at risk ... ” They urged the “Government of Canada to appeal this decision.”

Dr. Terwiel should further inform himself of the comprehensive Remmelink Report, an official study by the Dutch

Rules in place on flood prevention

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter Farmers who want to prevent flooding of their fields will have to do their homework first, now that Maple Ridge council has adopted its flood plain fill policy.

The new rules approved July 24 require a landowner to get a hydraulic assessment of the property showing its current condition. The assessment is also to show how any work will impact the area and any proposed mitigation plans.

The rules also require that any proposed fill brought on to a property that alters the natural flow of overland drainage must also provide a model showing preand post-flood condi-

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

A landowner must now get a hydraulic assessment of the property. tions.

According to a staff report, an existing bylaw is unclear because of the number of exemptions.

It also points out that within the Agricultural Land Reserve that a property owner doesn’t have to get district permission for

changing elevation or constructing dikes.

Nevertheless, while the district can’t stop a farmer from bring soil on to his or her property, it can regulate its placement. Thus the district has the power to review fill applications.

The report says the district is facing increasing public pressures resulting from disputes between neighbours on land within the Agricultural Land Reserve. Without proper documentation, that could lead to standoffs between neighbours.

One area of contention has been farmland along 224th Street near the North Alouette River where some residents are afraid of the impact of soil deposits on a nearby property.

Council careful about fate of three acres Once they’re back from their summer break, Maple Ridge councillors should be able to look at the full report from the Urban Land Institute of B.C. on what it should do for with the three acres the district owns downtown.

The Urban Land Institute has taken on the project and is advising the district on how best to use or sell the land.

That could involve selling just the southern portion of the property at 227th Street and Selkirk Avenue, said Mayor Ernie Daykin.

That way, development of that portion could see an increase value for the northern part.

Or, the district could decide to sell the whole package or lease out a portion.

The ULI should give council the written version in the fall.

“I’m really looking forward to it,” Daykin said Thursday.

The property is the first project for a technical assistance panel prepared by the Urban Land Institute, in which the land-use experts and

planners will share their knowledge and recommendations.

The eventual use of the area will be some type of residential and

commercial use, although Daykin said the buildings likely won’t be concrete high-rise because the market’s not yet ready for that.

Rescuers help in search for filmmaker Fewer calls so far this summer

by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter A pair of local search and rescue volunteers ew to New Hazelton last week to help in the effort to ďŹ nd a lost American ďŹ lmmaker.

Warren Sill, 26, was last seen July 5 when he parked his SUV at a trailhead near Seven Sisters Provincial Park.

Sill, originally from Cleveland, Ohio, had intended to ďŹ lm the illusive and rare Kermode bear.

When Sill didn’t return from the wilderness as planned, an air and ground search was launched July 10.

Rick Laing, team manager for Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue, along with volunteer Ciaran Connolly ew up north to help in the search and rescue

efforts.

Laing said every time local volunteers are called to assist with searches in other jurisdictions is an opportunity to further hone their skills. “We get to do things a little differently, in a different area, so that helps us [learn],� he said.

In all, close to 30 volunteers, ďŹ reďŹ ghters, and police ofďŹ cers took part in the search, covering an area of 70 to 80 square km.

Laing helped coordinate mapping the search area, while Connolly helped out on the ground.

The search area consisted of steep mountains, and more wilderness than is typically found in local search areas, Laing said. “There was some challenging terrain,� he said. “It was real hard going in some places.�

Unfortunately no sign of Sill was found during the two-week search,

which was called off on Monday.

Laing and Connoly ew back home Friday, and arrived just in time to deal with a call for a boater in distress that night at around 9:30 p.m.

A pair of men who were ďŹ shing on the Fraser River east of 240th Street lost power to their boat after a line got tangled in the propeller. The men dropped anchor near a log boom, but the river’s heavy current forced the boat to pull on the anchor chain, in turn causing the stern of the boat to dip low in the water. “They were in danger of being swamped,â€? said Laing.

Rescues crews were able to tow the boat to safety at the McKay Ave. boat launch.

Search and rescue has had few calls so far this summer, something Laing is pleased to see.

“We’ve only got about six or so, but we usually have at least a dozen at this point.�

Laing credits this summer’s poor weather for keeping hikers out of the back country and boaters off the water. He hopes Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue’s educational efforts have also played a role.

With sunny weather on the horizon and summer holidays in full swing, Laing cautioned those headed to the lakes and back country to be prepared. “Carry proper gear, know your area, and tell someone where you’re going and when you’ll be back,� he said.

Overtime ban starts for workers at ICBC Black Press Unionized ICBC workers have begun an overtime ban as part of job action aimed at spurring the auto insurer to give ground in contract talks.

The ban began July 6 and fol-

lows a Labour Relations Board ruling that found ICBC was bargaining in bad faith by refusing to discuss wages and benefits until a provincial review of the corporation concludes.

The two sides are expected to resume negotiations later this

month.

COPE 378 issued 72-hour strike notice in June but union leaders indicated they would ramp up job action very slowly, in an effort to pressure the government without affecting drivers.

Pension from front Discussions have already begun on a new pension plan, and MPs are about to or may already have begun increasing their contributions to get to the point where politicians contributions are equal to that of taxpayers. That may now be underway or may start in January, Kamp said Thursday.

“We’re not going to get there all in one jump, but that’s what was mentioned in the last budget document – that we’re going to begin that process.”

Then more major changes will take place to MP pensions after the 2015 federal election, looking at eligibility requirements, although Kamp expected it would remain a defined benefit pension plan, based on contribution and years of service.

Instead, the taxpayers federation wants MPs to be on a “defined contribution” RRSP-type plan, with the company matching workers’ contributions.

According to the taxpayers federation, if Kamp retires in 2015, after serving 11 years, he’ll earn a yearly pension of $55,290 – or $1.19 million over a lifetime.

If he works until 2019, he’ll get $76,132 a year.

Kamp agrees changes have to be made.

As an MP, he makes

$157,000 a year and another $15,000 for serving as parliamentary secretary to the fisheries minister, for a total salary of $172,000.

That’s been frozen for the past three years.

The freeze of MP salaries was part of the first budget under the Economic Action Plan.

According to the taxpayers federation, unlike normal pension plans, “the MP pension fund is not actually invested into the market.

By cabinet order, the fund is simply credited with 10-per-cent annual interest, courtesy of taxpayers.”

The taxpayers federation says the plan is not legal under the Income Tax Act, which says that no registered pension plan can exceed an accrual rate of two per cent of salary for each year worked. (It says MPs have set up two funds to get around the law).

According to the federation, in 2010-2011, all sitting MPs and senators contributed a combined $4.5 million towards their pension fund. Between official contributions and ‘interest’ payments, taxpayers put in $110.7 million.

Kamp said Prime Minister Stephen Harper “definitely wants to go to the one-to-one contribution plan.”

B.C. seeks more oil pipeline safeguards, benefits Province lays out preconditions for Enbridge, Kinder Morgan

THE MAPLE RIDGE

CARIBBEAN FESTIVAL would like to

The B.C. government is demanding extensive pipeline and coastal tanker safeguards as well as a bigger share of cash benefits for the province and First Nations as preconditions for considering any new oil pipeline.

The announcement applies not just to Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline proposal across northern B.C. to Kitimat, but also to the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan’s existing Trans Mountain pipeline that diagonals southwest through B.C. and runs through the Lower Mainland to a Burnaby terminal.

“This isn’t tacit approval of the project,” Environment Minister Terry Lake said Monday, referring to Northern Gateway, which is further in the review process.

“These are the minimum conditions we require in order to consider support.”

Both projects would greatly increase the ability of oil companies to export crude oil through B.C. and via tanker to Asia, reducing reliance on the U.S. market.

The provincial government has found itself caught between a public deeply concerned about spill risks and enormous pressure from Alberta and the federal government to allow a new westward outlet for Canadian oil.

“We want a fair share of the benefits in order to be considered partners in a project like this,” Lake said. “Given that British Columbia would shoulder 100 per cent of the marine risk and a significant portion of the land-based risk, we don’t feel the current approach to sharing these benefits is appropriate.”

He did not spell out B.C.’s price on royalty sharing, but said that would rest on discussions between Premier Christy Clark and the prime minister and premiers of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

“It doesn’t matter

what that number is if we don’t have adequate environmental protection.”

B.C. wants Ottawa to insist industry provide a bigger marine spill response – up from the current 70,000 barrel capacity to something closer to the 300,000 barrel spill response mandated

by Alaska. (Spills larger than the local response threshold trigger mutual aid agreements with neighbouring states.)

The government also notes Alaska requires cleanup crews reach a spill site within 72 hours, while Canada’s current 72-hour rule also allows travel time to reach a site, potentially adding days to a response.

The province also envisions a levy charged on each barrel of oil shipped that would – as is done in Washington State – help fund cleanup responses.

A land-based industry spill response co-op will also be proposed, similar to the Western Canada Marine Response Corp. that’s charged with offshore response.

Ship owner insurance and industry funding available for a spill response totals $1.3 billion

in Canada, according to the province’s findings, while the equivalent U.S. fund is approaching $4 billion.

Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister Mary Polak said B.C.’s insistence on greater aboriginal participation and compliance with their rights does not extend to a First Nations veto over new pipelines.

Lake said B.C. can’t simply make a yes-orno decision on a project like Enbridge right now because the National Energy Board review is still unfolding and the project is evolving along the way.

He noted Enbridge last week committed to up to $500 million in further safety upgrades to Northern Gateway – including thicker pipe walls than previously proposed, as well as more round-the-clock spill monitoring staff along the route. That move followed a damning U.S. report on the company’s 2010 spill in Michigan.

B.C.’s five preconditions: successful completion of the federal environmental review; a world-leading marine oil spill prevention, response and recovery system; world-leading land spill prevention and response measures; the addressing of aboriginal and treaty rights, including First Nation participation and benefits; and a “fair share” of the fiscal and economic benefits of a proposed heavy oil project that reflects the elevated risk to B.C. There are doubts as to whether B.C. could block a federally approved pipeline if it wants to.

Lake noted that even then Enbridge would require dozens of provincial regulatory approvals, which he said would be carefully considered.

The $5.5-billion Enbridge project includes one pipeline carrying heavy oil west to Kitimat and a second one to import condensate used to thin the bitumen.

Kinder Morgan’s $4-billion Trans Mountain twinning would boost its capacity from 300,000 barrels per day now to 750,000. Most would go to export, bringing 300 oil tankers a year through Burrard Inlet.

The province calculates only eight per cent of the tax benefits would flow to B.C.

ministries met their targets.

A deficit of nearly $2.5 billion had been budgeted.

B.C.’s economy grew by 2.9 per cent in 2011, third among the provinces and better than the national average of 2.6 per cent.

Retail sales, an indicator of consumer confidence, increased by 3.1 per cent in 2011.

Excluding the one-time HST repayment, government spending was held to an increase of 2.6 per cent, down from the 4.3 per cent budgeted.

The provincial govern-

ment spent $42.8 billion last year, with an additional $934 million going to health, $67 million to education and $51 million to social services.

There were cuts in most other areas to offset the HST repayment.

Nearly $3.6 billion went to capital spending on schools, universities, hospitals, roads, bridges and other infrastructure.

B.C. took in an extra $1 billion in tax revenue last year, half of it from more personal income tax.

The provincial debt climbed $2.8 billion to $50.2 billion.

B.C. ended the fiscal year with a smaller-thanforecast deficit of $1.84 billion, according to the provincial government.

The deficit would have been $241 million had it not been for the one province’s one-time repayment of $1.6 billion in HST transition funding to Ottawa.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon predicted the province is on track to return to a balanced budget in 2013-14.

But he cautioned while the 2011-12 results are better than expected, B.C. still faces great economic uncertainty from

fluctuating commodity prices and potential economic impacts from the European debt crisis.

“British Columbia stands out globally as a safe harbour for investment because our government continues to keep spending and debt under control,” Falcon said, adding Europe’s plight reflects “the perils of the tax-borrow-andspend mentality.”

But B.C. Auditor General John Doyle pegged the deficit at $2.36 billion, finding the province understated it by $530 million due to its continued practice of deviating from accepted accounting methods.

Because the government posted a deficit, cabinet ministers lose 10 per cent of their salary.

They’re all receiving the other 10 per cent of the legislated 20 per cent pay holdback because their

New rules to rein in Crown bonus pay

by J eff Nagel Black Press A provincial reform limiting bonus payments for Crown corporation executives won’t apply at TransLink or BC Ferries.

The move replaces the current bonus systems at Crown agencies with a hold back of up to 20 per cent of executives’ pay, which is released if targets are met.

The province also announced a pay freeze for current Crown executives and said new senior executives will be hired at salaries 10 per cent lower than their predecessors.

Incentive pay – publicly unpopular but considered an effective tool in encouraging performance – became a flashpoint in 2009 when it was revealed former Ferries CEO David Hahn’s bonuses and benefits doubled his pay to more than $1 million.

Bonuses to TransLink executives were paid out earlier this year, but are under a boardordered review for fu-

Black Press

Non-Crown corporation executives, like Former B.C. Ferries CEO David Hahn, are exempt from the new rules. ture years and are also being examined as part of a provincial audit of the transportation authority.

Neither agencies are technically Crown corporations so are exempt from the rules.

Canadian Taxpayers Federation spokesman Jordan Bateman called it a “poke in the eye” for taxpayers that TransLink and B.C. Ferries are untouched.

“Those are the orga-

nizations most of us are most concerned with,” he said. “You think of David Hahn – the million-dollar man.

You think of TransLink giving themselves bonuses the same week they’re raising gas taxes.”

Bateman said the two bodies should have a “moral obligation” to voluntarily mirror the new rules.

As for other Crown corporations, Bateman

said much depends on whether the actual criteria set for holdback bonuses are easy or difficult to meet.

“It’s a positive step forward, but maybe a half step,” he said, noting 99 per cent of BC Hydro employees were able to meet their past targets for incentive pay.

“The idea that every person in the public service should always get a bonus for hitting targets was ridiculous.”

The new policy also says executives should earn no more than 85 per cent of the CEO’s salary.

The province also intends to phase out incentive pay for other non-executive staff, although it admits it can’t do so in cases where such payments have been negotiated into union contracts, as is the case at ICBC. Travel will be reimbursed using the same policy as government executives and vehicle allowances where required for business will be the only perk allowed, with any others being phased out.

Diesel trucks probed to curb emissions

by Jef f Nage l Black Press A specialized roadside system will test diesel pollution from trucks, buses and other heavyduty vehicles over the next three months to help guide future initiatives to curb emissions.

Infrared and ultraviolet beams from a parked test trailer pass through the exhaust plume of heavy trucks as they pass and data is read by a detector across the road.

The province’s AirCare program is slated to be dismantled for regular vehicles by the end of 2014, but the government held out the possibility it may be replaced by a bolstered program targeting truck pollution, which currently is subject to only mobile tests through the AirCare On Road program.

“This study is a good first step to help us gain better understanding of diesel emissions from the transportation sector in the Lower Mainland, and is consistent with AirCare commitments made by the province,” Environment Minister Terry Lake said.

“The results will help us develop options for reducing diesel emissions in the region moving forward.”

Emissions of soot, or fine diesel particulate, are estimated to be responsible for twothirds of the lifetime cancer risk from air pollution in Metro Vancouver.

Metro Vancouver, which is responsible for air quality in the region, has also begun a non-road diesel emission reduction program, which charges fees on older heavily polluting machinery, such as excavators and forklifts, while offering owners incentives to upgrade or replace

Trucks, buses and other heavy-duty vehicles like fork lifts will be tested. them.

“Now it’s time to find ways to reduce emissions from on-road vehicles too,” said Metro environment committee chair Heather Deal.

“These trucks and buses travel through our communities, close to places where we live, work and play.”

The province is a partner with Metro

Vancouver, the Fraser Valley Regional District and Port Metro Vancouver in the new roadside emission test program, slated to cost $130,000.

Feds hint at aid for sewage upgrades New grant program to roll out in 2014

by J eff Nagel Black Press Metro Vancouver leaders say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re optimistic Ottawa will contribute one third of the $1.4-billion cost of replacing its Lions Gate and Iona sewage treatment plants and ease some of the pain for home owners who face sharply higher utility bills.

Federal environment minister Peter Kent was in Delta last week to announce new federal efďŹ&#x201A;uent regulations that mandate sewage system upgrades to a minimum of secondary treatment.

He made no explicit funding promises, but said the federal government intends to roll out a new long-term infrastructure grant program starting in 2014, after the federal deďŹ cit is eliminated.

Metro board chair Greg Moore said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopeful one third of the upgrade cost here will be covered by the federal government and be matched by the province.

Black Press

Federal environment minister Peter Kent unveiled new regulations, but offered no cash, yet.

The new rules had been widely expected and Metro Vancouver is already designing the replacement of its Lions Gate plant, which must be complete by 2020.

The deadline for Ionaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement is 2030 but Metro aims to replace it several years sooner if senior governments share the costs.

If federal grant money doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t materialize, Metro Vancouver residents could see their sewage bills more than triple, and households in Vancouver and the North Shore that are directly served by Iona and Lions Gate may see their annual bills rise by

as much as $1,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the worst-case scenario,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not reasonable to expect local taxpayers to carry the entire burden.â&#x20AC;?

Some cities within Metro are also lobbying to rejig the formula that currently apportions much of sewage capital costs on the beneďŹ tting areas.

The idea would be to spread more of the cost across all of the regional district, making residents in non-beneďŹ tting areas like Surrey and the Tri-Cities chip in to reduce the impact in Vancouver and the North Shore.

Georgia Strait Alliance executive director Christianne Wilhelmson said the Iona plant should be upgraded sooner than 2030, the deadline for medium-risk plants, adding it should be considered high risk.

The message, however, has been re-envisioned and radicalized.

Jesus expands neighbour to include the broken, the impoverished, the outcast foreigner, and even your enemy.

Jesus consistently asked his audience to pause and rethink the religious order, not to refute the law, but to challenge his listener to a higher authority found in the author and the intent.

statements, we need to ask two questions: what was radical about Jesus; and what isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t radical about our Christianity?

When Jesus was asked what is the greatest commandment, he replied with two. Both of them came direct from the legalistic laws of his misguided adversaries: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love the Lord your God ... and love your neighbour as yourself.â&#x20AC;?

This is not new information to his audience. They know

esus was radical, but you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always know that by looking at his followers.

I am consistently amazed at how Jesus re-envisioned the heart of the scriptures.

Radicals are scorned, hated, attacked and persecuted.

Jesus was, as were the early Christians, but most of us today (save those facing intense persecution in places like China) are generally unaware of persecution due to our radical Christianity.

MR Legion donates to DARE The Maple Ridge Legion has donated $1,000 to help local Ridge RCMP teach students about the dangers of drugs.

The Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program was taught to more than 500 Grade 5 students in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows district this past school year.

More than 250 police officers teach DARE to thousands school children in about 90 communities throughout B.C. “The DARE program equips our children with the critical thinking and life skills necessary to choose a drugfree life,” said St. Sgt. Anthony Choy, in charge of the RCMP Drug and Organized Crime Awareness Service,0 which oversees the Ridge-Meadows DARE program.

“While police officers teach the program, the cost of the student learning

materials is covered by community donations so the program can be offered free to all students. The learning materials cost approximately $10 per student.”

DARE is a registered charitable organization responsible for raising funds from within each community to cover the cost of the student learning materials.

“We are very grateful to the Maple Ridge Legion for its generous donation, which covered the cost of learning materials for 100 students who took the program during the 2011-2012 school year.”

DARE starts in September and more money is needed to cover the $5,000 cost of the program.

• Donations can be made on the DARE website (www.darebc.com).

In the process of living our faith Acts from p26 Is there a problem with that?

Sure, in the process we will also disrupt the religious order, the status quo of our churches.

In the process of living our faith, we’ll probably give in to all of society’s pressures and fall victim to secular culture. Well, that’s what

I’m told.

Radical faith has to constantly fight against the human desire to create a new law that makes obsolete the radical message and love of Christ.

Bradley Christianson-Barker is pastor at Open Door Church.

So nice to come home to.

MAPLE RIDGE • PITT MEADOWS

New trends in front-yard appeal U

pdate the kitchen, check. Renovate the bathroom with the newest colours.

Then glance out the window at your dandelion-filled front yard and get to work creating that perfect front lawn.

Curb appeal is one of those no-brainers when ensuring your home is ready to sell, although it’s also sometimes tough to know just how to ensure a good first impression with prospective buyers.

And this season it seems new trends in front-yard gardening are taking root and could change how homeowners prepare for that all-important first impression in the next few years.

In the past two years, there’s been a steady increase in the number of people putting more effort into adding some originality and diversity to their front-yard gardens, according to the 2011 Garden Trends Research report. The report states that North Americans are spending twice what they used to on their front gardens.

“I just fell in love with the idea of reinventing the space,” says Joanne Sale, who turned her entire front yard into a maze of food, native plants and grasses. While the neighbors first thought she was putting in a mini-golf course, they are now getting used to the changes, she says.

From the pages of the Wall Street Journal to the famous UK Chelsea Flower Show, a trend is growing that is changing how people are thinking about that green space in front of our homes.

This year’s Chelsea Flower Show included a larger number of front-yard food gardens, wildscapes, and native plant displays that save water. Now these ideas seem to be on their way to mainstream gardening.

Maple Ridge was on the early crest of this

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Emi Uchida gives Ken Hemminger a working tour of her front yard garden in west Maple Ridge. new wave of gardening when the municipality’s agricultural advisory committee started the front yard food garden contest three years ago. The contest honours growers on small, medium and large-size lots and even has a children’s category this year.

“It’s wonderful to see what people do,” says Stephanie James, a passionate committee member and contest judge. The gardens often integrate herbs as well as vegetables, such as kale or squash into flower gardens for a full,

year-round splash of colour.

“We are trying to encourage people to think about growing food again,” she says.” It’s been very inspiring.”

She says the contest reminds people of food security issues in a fun way that also does double duty as a way to clean up front yards that have been left dormant or unkempt.

One of last year’s winners turned his front yard full of old cars and masses of junk into a wonderful display.

“It was absolutely marvelous,” she says.

She also noted a change in places such as Albion, where the small lots don’t really lend themselves to old fashioned manicured lawns.

Several entries have come from these homes where people have managed to pack in gorgeous displays of food and flowers, she says.

James is adamant that these food gardens and integrated flower and food gardens improve the value of real estate and notes that some of the entries over the years have been nominated by neighbours who were impressed by changes they saw in nearby properties.

“It definitely improves the value.”

She’s not alone in her enthusiasm. Fellow committee member and Maple Ridge realtor Ken Hemminger agrees.

If gardens are created with plenty of forethought and integrated into flower and lawns so there is no barren ground in the off season, they will only enhance the value of a property, Hemminger says.

“They are much more attractive and sellable,” he says of several properties he’s seen develop over the past few years.

Hemminger has lovingly transformed his own front yard into a mix of flower and vegetable beds slowly over time so the neighbours didn’t even notice. Now, he invites them to pick the vegetables and uses the space to share with local kids and his own grandchild who get to learn where food comes from.

“They’re having fun,” he says. “People forget what really fresh stuff tastes like.”

But with the growing trend to native, wild, and food gardens along our streets it’s likely more of us will find the value of our home blossoming as we embrace this delicious new trend. mapleridgenews.com

Appia Development able to start sales

SOLO District gets city approval Appia Development’s newest community has been given the green light by the City of Burnaby to begin sales, which it did on Saturday, July 21.

“We’ve already had an overwhelming response from people all around the Lower Mainland about SOLO District,” says Appia President Jim Bosa. “We’ve had several thousand people visit our sales centre to preview the units over the past few weeks. We’re now excited to be able to start selling.”

Short for South Of Lougheed, SOLO will include 1,400 suites in four towers ranging from 38 to 55 storeys, a Whole Foods, large rooftop garden, pedestrian pathways, elevated dog park and other

commercial and retail spaces, among other things. The Brentwood SkyTrain station is right across the street.

“We firmly believe that SOLO District is poised to change the way we live in the Lower Mainland,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects.

“SOLO District will have everything anyone needs within a short distance.

Buyers will not only get access to fresh produce at Whole Foods, but easily accessible transit via the SkyTrain, short commutes to downtown Vancouver (and) car-sharing options through Modo.”

For more information, visit www. solodistrict.com or call 604-298-8800.

The large dining room table sits in front of a fireplace, surrounded by windows to showcase the mountain all around you. A deck wraps halfway around the home, and an outdoor fireplace and hot tub will also be part of the grand prize.

The great room beside the kitchen has its own fireplace and curved windows, letting natural light pour into the home.

“It doesn’t feel like a show home,” says Harris. “I wanted to give it a cozy feel. The home gives you a hug.”

Outside, the home will fit perfectly into the mountain surroundings, with its rustic architecture and large windows. That rustic architecture continues inside. Homey stone walls, cork flooring and exposed wooden beams are featured throughout, really

giving you the atmosphere of being in a ski lodge.

“I started designing a dream house for people, but this is really my dream house,” Harris says. “It’s my dream (ensuite) bathroom, my dream bedroom, everything ... It was important that this home pulls at your heart strings. It has to make your heart go pitter patter.”

The Prize Home can be viewed at the PNE from Aug. 18 onwards, or on Aug. 5 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tickets are $25 for 5 or $50 for 15.

For more information visit www. pne.ca/pneprizehome. Tickets can be purchased online, by phone or in person at the PNE. The winner’s name will be announced on Sept. 12.

“I am so jealous of the person who wins,” Harris says.

A home away from home

PNE Prize Home makes your heart go pitter patter

by Kerry Vital

The Pacific National Exhibition is bringing in the big guns for this year’s PNE Prize Home, built by Britco Structures and featuring furniture from Lane Home Furnishings.

The home was designed by Jillian Harris, a former star of The Bachelorette, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Canada’s Handyman Challenge. She will next be co-hosting Love It or List It Vancouver. Recently she has been busy designing homes all over the U.S. and Canada, but the PNE Prize Home is close to her heart after living in Kelowna and Vancouver.

“I wanted to do something locally,” she says, adding that it seemed like a fun project and she was looking forward to being able to have creative freedom to design the home, which will be located at the Sun Peaks Resort.

The over 3,000-square-foot house includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a 20-foot vaulted ceiling, among many other beautiful features.

Designing the PNE Prize Home presented a bit of a challenge for Harris.

“The home has to appeal to everyone,” she says. “It’s going to be someone’s home away from home.”

She took inspiration from the classic Hudson’s Bay blanket, and aimed for a shabby chic feel.

“I tried to integrate modern details,” she says. “I was able to be more whimsical and edgy with this home because it’s a vacation home, instead of something they’ll live in every day.”

And whimsical it is, with a dedicated sports room on the lower level with a ski-in ski-out entrance and a sleep loft featuring four bunk beds and an interior Juliet-style balcony looking over the bottom floor. The master bedroom is going to be seriously comfortable, with a walk-in closet and amazing ensuite bathroom with a huge soaker tub, glittery chandelier, dual vanities and a large shower stall.

A balcony is located off of the master bedroom as well, so you’ll have plenty of space to enjoy the view.

Downstairs, the kitchen is a gourmet’s dream, with stainless-steel appliances and lots of counter space.

The walk-in wine cellar is a work of genius, though Harris says it was a bit of a hard-sell for her crew.

“It has a real wow factor,” she says, adding that it’s her favourite part.

“

It was important that this home pulls at your heart strings,” says designer Jillian Harris.

Submitted photos

Designer Jillian Harris says that the PNE Prize Home is her dream house, with a spacious kitchen, top, and beautiful rustic features on the exterior, above. The huge living room features a 20-foot vaulted ceiling and a gorgeous stone fireplace, left.

THE NEWS/sports Kwon trails at B.C. Amateur Burrards

Section coordinator: Robert Mangelsdorf 604-467-1122 ext. 216 sports@mapleridgenews.com

fall in OT to Thunder

Pitt Meadows golfer 4th at home course of Swan-e-set Bay staff reporter After a disappointing opening round of 75, Pitt Meadows’ own Kevin Kwon clawed his way back near the top of the leaderboard at the 110th B.C. Amateur Golf Championship, hosted at Kwon’s home course of Swan-e-set Bay Resort and Country Club.

Kwon fired off consecutive rounds of 70 during the second and third rounds of the tournament to head into Friday’s fourth and final round five strokes off the lead.

Kwon tees off Friday with a share of fourth place at the tournament on his home turf at Swane-set, a course that favours accuracy off the tee rather than power.

A member of the Team Canada Development Squad member, Kwon has quietly crept up the leader board from 27th place after the first round, to eighth after Wednesday’s round to fourth heading into Friday’s final round.

Kwon hit five birdies during the third round on Thursday, however, a trio of bogeys on the back nine likely cost him a shot at the lead.

Kwon finished third at the 2012 B.C. Junior Boys’ Championship earlier this month at the Sunshine Coast Golf and Country Club in Osoyoos, and was named the Pacific Northwest Golf Association’s 2011 junior boys’ player of the year.

Curtis Dickson scores six points in first game back after shoulder injury

by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Kevin Kwon of Pitt Meadows tees off on the third hole during the second round of the B.C. Amateur Golf Championship at Swan-E-Set Bay Resort Country Club in Pitt Meadows on Wednesday.

Mason and Team B.C. 11th Maple Ridge golfer Keanna Mason and Team B.C. finished the 2012 Girls’ Junior America’s Cup in 11th place after slipping from ninth in the final round of play on Thursday.

The competition features 18 teams

from across North America. It was Hawaii who took home the America’s Cup, finishing the three-day team event at an even-par 648. In the tournament’s four-person team format, the top three scores are carded at the end of each day.

Mason had rounds of 76, 78, and 84

at the world famous Wailea Golf Club Gold Course, the former home of the PGA’s Champions Skins Game.

Alongside Mason on Team B.C. was Grace Chua of White Rock, Alix Kong of West Vancouver, and Naomi Ko of Victoria. sports@mapleridgenews.com

Curtis Dickson had six points in his first game of the year as the Maple Ridge Burrards overcame a four goal deficit to force overtime Wednesday night on the road against Langley, the Western Lacrosse Association’s top team. However, it was the Thunder who came away with two points, winning 12-11 in the extra frame.

The Burrards found themselves playing catch-up early, as the Thunder opened up a 4-0 lead in the first period of Wednesday’s game.

The second period was a different story, however, as the Burrards outscored Langley 8-4 to tie things up.

Riley Loewen got the Burrards on the board two minutes into the middle frame, before Dickson scored his first goal of the season a minute later.

Midway through the period, the Burrards sparked a flurry of offence, scoring four goals and allowing one in the span of one minute.

With the score 6-5 for the Burrards, Langley opted to pull goalie Brodie MacDonald after he allowed six goals on 13 shots in the first half of the second period.

With Steve Fryer in net for the Thunder, the Burrards continued their attack, as Jarrett Davis stretched the lead to 7-5 two minutes later.

Langley was down but not out, and a pair of late goals once again put the teams square.

WIth tensions high at the Langley Events Centre, the tying goal sparked a mêlée that saw Athan Iannucci and Alex Turner of the Thunder, and David Joyce and Kevin Reid of the Burrards given game misconducts.

The teams traded late goals before the period was over to send them into the third with an 8-8 tie.

Langley scored a pair of goals midway through the third to take a two-goal lead, but the Burrards again clawed their way back into the game thanks to goals by Simon Giourmetakis and Dickson’s tying goal. With the Burrards on the powerplay, Randy Daly scored to put the Burrards ahead with five minutes left in regulation.

However, with the goalie pulled for the extra attacker, Langley scored with less than minute left in the period to force overtime.

Congratulations!

Kwon five shots off the lead Kwon from p47 That year he won the Canadian Junior Boys’ Championship by 11 shots and won the Canadian Junior Boys’ Juvenile Championship as well.

The man Kwon has to catch on Friday is Victoria’s Kevin Carrigan, who captured the 2012 B.C. Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship earlier in the year. After Thursday’s third round, Carrigan holds a one-stroke lead heading into the final day of play on Friday.

Carrigan has led the tournament from the outset, firing an opening round 67 on Tuesday, followed by rounds of 71 and 72.

Sitting in third place at three-under-par is Coquitlam’s Brian Jung, a member of the nearby Pitt Meadows Golf Club.

Like Kwon, Jung also spent Wednesday and Thursday recovering from an unfortunate opening round. However, after rounds of 71 and 68, Jung is just three strokes behind Carrigan going into the final round of play.

More than 150 golfers are taking part in the 72hole competition this year. The top three competitors from the B.C. Amateur Championship will represent British Columbia at the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship, Aug. 7-10, in Cumberland, Ontario.

Final round action at the 110th B.C. Amateur Golf Championship continues Friday at Swan-eset Bay Resort and Country Club. Groups tee off beginning at 7:30 a.m., with the leaders getting started at 9:15 a.m. Spectators are welcomed and encouraged to attend the event. Entrance is free of charge.

Burrards from p47 The Thunder scored 21 seconds into the extra 10-minute period, and with the Burrards unable to put anything past Fryer at the other end of the rink, Langley walked away with the 12-11 win.

Leading the Burrards on offence was Dickson, who scored two goals and four assists in his first game back this season after recovering from a shoulder injury. Daly had a four-point night, with two goals and two assists, while Brandon Bertoia, Davis, and Loewen had a goal and two assists each.

Also scoring for the Burrards was Dayne Michaud, Joyce, Lee, and Giourmetakis. Colton Porter, Garrett McIntosh, and Jonathan Munk each picked up assists.

Burrards starting goaltender Drew Dickie stopped 43 of 55 shots in 70 minutes of action, while the Burrards had 50 shots on the Langley net.

With the loss, the Burrards fall to 3-13-1 this season, while Langley improves to 11-7, tops in the WLA with 22 points.

The Burrards final game of the season takes place this Sunday at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge as they host the New Westminster Salmonbellies. With the ‘Bellies sitting at 8-8 with two games remaining, the Burrards have an opportunity to deny New West a trip to the WLA playoffs should the Burrards win on Sunday. Game time is at 6:45 p.m.

Keith was born in Comox, BC in 1938 and died in Langley Hospice on July 18, 2012. He leaves his wife of 52 years, Marie, his son Mike (Erin) of Monrovia, CA, his son Graham (Tanya) of Surrey, and his daughter Karen Francis (Dani) of Vancouver. He also leaves four grandchildren: Kai and Kobe Francis of Vancouver and Nicole and Cameron Slessor of Monrovia.

Keith’s 39-year career as a Professor of Chemistry at SFU was devoted to his twin passions of teaching and scientific research. He was recognized for excellence in both areas; awarded the SFU Excellence in Teaching Award (1995) for having conveyed the principles of organic chemistry to thousands of SFU undergraduates, and awarded The BC Science and Engineering Gold Medal in Natural Sciences (2003) for deciphering the biochemical communication mechanisms in honeybee colonies. Of the many awards he received, these were the two he was most proud of. Keith was also an ardent fly-fisherman, and he and Marie spent decades pursuing Kamloops trout in the interior lakes of BC. In his retirement, he channelled his energy into fine woodworking and created many pieces that now grace homes, kitchens, and dinner tables around the world.

A celebration of Keith’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Cancer Foundation – Lymphoma Research would be greatly appreciated.
