B.C.’s Liberal government is looking at the possibility of using Internet voting in future provincial elections, it was announced Thursday. Justice Minister and Attorney General Shirley Bond has requested the province’s chief electoral officer appoint an independent panel to review best practices for Internet voting for use in both provincial and municipal elections, and identify any barriers. “Our province is widely recognized as being technologically progressive and a leader in open government initiatives,” Bond said Thursday.

Resident fears for Coho Creek She protected her part of creek but worries about portion near proposed pit by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter Josine Eikelenboom has lived on 124th Street in rural Maple Ridge for more than 30 years and shudders at the thought of dump trucks rolling down her street should a proposed gravel pit be approved next door to her
farm, Westacres. But what concerns her most is the fate of Coho Creek, which runs through both properties. Close to 10 years ago, Eikelenboom placed the creek under the protection of The Land Conservancy of B.C., preventing any future development within 30 metres of the water course on her property. However, while the portion of the creek on her property is protected, the portion next door is not. While the gravel pit itself will be located 100 metres away from

Coho Creek, a driveway across the creek would have to be upgraded, which “would include loss of riparian habitat.” However, the creek would be restored to its original condition. According to Eikelenboom, the creek is home to small coho and other fish, along with ducks and birds. “Over the more than 30 years that we have lived here, we have done everything to respect the land,” she said. “A gravel pit so close will do serious damage to my land and its streams.”
The 15-hectare property located in between 236th Street and 124th Avenue is co-owned by Donada Industries, Rae Glenn Industrial Dev. and Earl Bremner. David Laird of Damax Consultants, which is developing the site, said earlier the property would be restored to farm use after 400,000 cu. metres of gravel are removed, with mining expected to take two to three years. As part of the remediation work, top soil would be brought in to make the area suitable for future agricultural uses. See Creek, p10

Farm worker says accident has ‘broke him forever’ Purewal farms says it’s cooperating with WorkSafe B.C. by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter
A
s a plane soars off a runway at the Pitt Meadows airport, Gurdev Khakh looks at the acres of blueberries in front of him and laments – the fields are in another country. “This is not Canada,” says the 68-year-old, as he wobbles to stand with a broken knee. He says the rights that Canadians cherish don’t seem to apply when he steps onto the fields to work for one of North America’s largest blueberry farms –Purewal Brother Enterprise Ltd. which owns 1,000 acres of farmland in Pitt Meadows. Speaking in Punjabi, Khakh shrugs as he makes the statement. “In city, it’s different rules,” he says, in broken English. In April, Khakh was injured after a pesticide trailer toppled onto him while working in a field off Ford Road near the airport. He was trapped underneath a tank filled with 3,000 litres of water mixed with herbicide. Khakh’s left leg twisted back, snapping his knee. His shoulder was crushed and he was drenched in a chemical concoction. “I was screaming,” says Khakh, through a translator. His co-workers shouted for help. It took two men to lift the tank off Khakh. By the time a supervisor arrived, Khakh claims he was lying in the field for more than 20 minutes. Someone grabbed cushions off a couch from a farm house nearby, put them in the back of a van. Khakh was carried into the van and driven across the city to a processing plant on Hale Road. There, people helped him change his clothes and someone called an ambulance. I could see all these people around, says Khakh, but he was disoriented from the pain. “I couldn’t think clearly.” He was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital where he had surgery on his leg and spent a month recovering. He now walks with a limp. “I’m broken forever,” he says. WorkSafe BC has found Purewal Bros. failed to report Khakh’s injury to the Worker’s Compensation Board, a violation of provincial law. Their findings follow an inspection conducted last week after Khakh went public with his story. “Our officers are certainly following up and it is an ongoing matter with the employer but it is not a formal investigation,” said
Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
Gurdev Khakh, 68, said he was crushed under a pesticide trailer that tipped over while he was working for Purewal Blueberries. Khakh required surgery. WorkSafe spokesperson Donna Freeman. Gary Purewal, who owns the farm, said he is co-operating with WorkSafe B.C. but did not comment on the inspection report findings. The WorkSafe report describes conditions at Purewal Bros. which employs around 100 people – mostly Indo-Canadian and Mexican workers – at a sprawling operation in Pitt Meadows. It found Purewal was unable to show the workers were trained and supervised. There was no designated first aid attendant when the accident happened, there were no written first aid procedures or a record of Khakh’s injuries. The investigator also found the accident scene had been disturbed and Khakh’s serious injuries were not reported to the Worker’s Compensation Board, a violation of the Act. WorkSafe BC is now considering an administrative penalty against Purewal Bros. WorkSafe’s findings confirms Khakh’s story. He says he knew nothing about filing a workers claim although he’s been working for Purewal for the past five years. He says he learned about the worker’s compensation board from a taxi driver, who drove him
Workplace safety violations at Purewal Farms • 76 inspection reports from Jan. 1, 1999 to Aug. 1, 2012 • 1999: A worker was killed. WorkSafe found crews were not supervised to ensure safety. • 2002: 9 violations including various hazards, no supervision or training. • 2007: Several farm vehicles found unsafe. • 2011: Corrective orders issued after Mexican workers report inadequate first aid, training and potable water. • 2012: Worker was injured by a co-worker earlier this year. Source: WorkSafeBC to a doctor’s appointment. The taxi driver connected Khakh with Charan Gill, president of the Progressive Intercultural Community Services Society, who has since helped Khakh file a claim. Khakh’s story however isn’t unique. Gill, who co-founded the Canadian Farmworkers Union, has been hearing similar complaints from farm workers from across the province for years. “These workers don’t even know they can refuse to work in a dangerous place or go into a bus that is overloaded,” says Gill. “They don’t know their rights and responsibilities.” Gill’s organization used to educate farm workers in different languages but has since lost funding to provide those services. There were a host of recom-
mendations issued to the province after three women were killed in 2007 and more issued following an inquest into the recent deaths of three men on a Langley mushroom farm. Gill says little has changed. “It’s a mess. These people (the provincial government) don’t listen. They don’t understand they have created some gaps in services. “We want to bridge those gaps.” The province, however, says there are programs in place to educate workers who don’t speak English or those who have just immigrated to Canada. The Employment Standards Branch has a farm compliance team of four staff who conduct site visits and payroll audits, participate in roadside vehicle inspections, and conduct education sessions with
employers and employees. Workers and employers can also access assistance and information – over the phone, online or in-person at one of the nine employment standards branch locations across the province. Employee rights information is available online in English, French, Chinese, Punjabi, Hindi, Filipino, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and Spanish. A spokesperson said employment standards branch staff also conduct education and outreach programs to inform workers and employers through seminars and presentations in schools, workers and employer associations, networking through community agencies and contact with immigrant settlement groups. Through its ethnic media campaign, ESB also has conducted approximately 75 guest appearances on Punjabi, Mandarin, Cantonese and English-speaking radio and television programs to answer questions about employment standards and employee rights. As well, the farm workers’ interagency compliance committee ensures that a number of agencies share information and coordinate enforcement activities within the agricultural sector.

Car Care Shelter neighbour fed up, wants to move with Cyril Barry
Latest loss: a boat motor, then a truck
SPEED OR QUALITY
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter
It seems that all the ads you see on the TV pertaining to modern vehicle service are all about how quick the service provider can get you in and out. Most show multiple technicians working on the same vehicle to speed up the process. While this might make for good television, it is not reality, but then TV is mostly make believe anyway.....
If you’re the type of personality that wants cheap and quick then you have to give up on quality, as you cannot have all three if your dealing with modern auto diagnostics and repair. Simple everyday things that you may not be aware of such as the brakes and exhaust systems of your car are wired to the computer for monitoring. While there are a great deal of automotive repair facilities that understand and repair brakes and exhaust on a daily basis, there are few of that same group that are equipped and educated to diagnose and repair the electronic computer controlled components of these systems. Those few shops that are certiďŹ ed to work on these and all other systems of your vehicle are not part of the quick or cheap crowd, but rather these select shops are part of the quality for a fair price crowd. The reality is that those of you that are part of the quick and cheap crowd, do pay more for the same repairs. The reason being that you fall for the lure of the quick and cheap and then realize that your vehicle is still not repaired properly, then your forced to ďŹ nd a so called “richâ€? shop to ďŹ nish the job off. You know what I’m talking about, a shop that charges more but ends up doing the job right requiring just one visit, because that shop can repair the whole vehicle. So if you want quick and cheap car repairs, keep on fooling yourself. If you want to do it right the ďŹ rst time, pay for it and get on with life. Find a good full service, government certiďŹ ed auto repair shop. If you have a regular shop and you’re happy with their service, stick with them and give them a pat on the back for a job well done. If you don’t and you’re tired of the run a round and multiple visits for the same repair. Give us a call, we’d be only too happy to make your day..

The reality is something quite different, there are really only two levels of service, good and bad. In over thirty years of repairing vehicles on a daily basis I can honestly state that I have never encountered a good technician that concerns themselves about quickness ďŹ rst. Good auto techs get that way by many years of practice, many evenings at school and many more evenings at home or at the shop reading about their trade and its new practices. They also spend thousands and thousands of dollars on tools, diagnostic equipment and software updates just to stay current with new and emerging technology.
For years, Mike Homen has dealt with rampant drug use and property theft around his home on Cliff Avenue, near downtown Maple Ridge. His home backs on to an alley shared with the Salvation Army’s Caring Place Ministries homeless shelter and has become
ground zero for all manner of illegal and illicit activity. But recent thefts have the Maple Ridge father saying enough is enough. Last Wednesday, the outboard motor on Homen’s boat was stolen from his driveway, despite being locked up. And this past weekend, Homen’s 1950 Mercury pickup truck he was planning to restore was stolen from the alley behind his house. See Moving, p10

ecently, our CBC Radio gave several seconds of air time to a pipe bomb that was found on a city tennis court. No one was hurt thankfully. The pipe bomb was just laying there, placed there by who knows. But just to be on the safe side, all the city’s recreation facilities were closed. Several quotes were relayed about how people are carrying on despite this threat to their way of life. And just where did this take place? About a quarter of the way around the world, in St. John’s, Nfld. Local, compelling news, it wasn’t. There have been at least three days of incessant coverage about a whale that died at the Vancouver Aquarium. People shared their thoughts and feelings, about a whale, an old whale, whose time had come. In the middle of August, a lot of air time and band width was allotted to an incident in Nanaimo, in which police said a drunk guy slugged his wife in the hospital. Stop the presses. But wait, nothing like a visit from the leader of our country, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, just at a time when the pipeline issue is in full rage. True to form, Harper wasn’t wading into the sticky issue of oil sands oil. He commented only briefly, said there was nothing to say because science would decide, then moved on, giving no more time to the media, the representatives of the voting, taxpaying public. If the London Olympic Summer Games were not running, it would be even more of the dismal, dog days of August. This month is when most municipal councils and provincial MLAs take holidays, leaving newsrooms and newscasts with endless amounts of time and space. Hurry back soon politicians. We miss you.

If Fisheries Act wasn’t broken, why? Smart mechanics say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” That’s the case with the Fisheries Act. It worked, but wasn’t being enforced. The revised Section 35, (habitat protection) which received Royal Assent, June 29, assures it never will be Along the Fraser enforced. “This weakened Jack Emberly habitat protection section of the Act will come to haunt us in the next decade,” wrote retired Fisheries biologist Otto Langer on July 27. Langer, who leaked the plan to neuter the Act earlier this year, made the comment in a widely circulated e-mail addressed to Fisheries and Oceans Canada, environmental groups, First Nations, stream keepers, and “all Canadians interested in an intact habitat support system.” Section 35 used to ban “any work seen as harmful alteration, disruption, or distruction of fish habitat.” Industry and government knew what it couldn’t do. Now, vague terms limit work “that results in adverse affect on fish of economic, cultural or ecological value.” On March 25, another Langer e-mail described the problem in full. It outlined the history of Section 35 and its promise for habitat protection despite early years of opposition to the legislation by industry and Crown corporations. Says Langer, the revision – slipped

into Bill C-38 this spring – abandoned a positive attitude that could have reversed “decades of habitat abuse.” “Prior to 1976, many businesses, Crown corporations and departments were resistant to the protection of habitat.” Langer describes battles with the logging industry which “had declared war on the Fisheries Act and challenged every legal action that resulted from slash and debris problems.” Gravel miners were heavy abusers. “About 30 streams – including the Fraser, Coquitlam, and Alouette rivers – had been heavily mined.” Before 1976, says Langer, Fisheries could do little except seize “the heavy equipment to stop this habitat destructive work.” Section 35, “did a great deal to educate … the Province as to the value of fish habitat.” Langer says the habitat clause led to a National Habitat Policy (1986) which endorsed “a no-net loss policy of habitat productive capacity.” Development could take place, but habitat loss had to be replaced – somewhere. The concept, admits Langer, “has not been overly successful,” but the solution was in sight. Still, the concept of harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat and the National Habitat Policy, says Langer, set the path for “win-win solutions.” Following HADD legislation, says Langer, potential abusers became more receptive to enlightened development. The passage of Section 35, forced such Crown corporations and ministries as, highways and B.C. Hydro to respect the

need to protect fish habitat. “Many of those existing corporations now protect habitat in a fairly proactive manner, and without a great deal of complaining.” So, why after the struggle for effective legislation, has Prime Minister Stephen Harper embraced the bad old days of habitat abuse? So farmers and cities can clean out their ditches without Fisheries harassment? That’s the excuse given by Fisheries Minister Keith Ashfield, and echoed by parliamentary secretary, Randy Kamp, even though cities like Pitt Meadows say cleaning ditches isn’t a concern and most farmers are silent on the issue.
“Passage of Section 35 forced Crown corporations … to respect the need to protect fish habitat.” Langer doesn’t buy the ditch story, either. His letter of July 27 followed the meeting I mentioned earlier. West Van MP John Weston arranged it to solicit ideas for implementing the government’s unilateral changes to the Fisheries Act. But people wanted to know why changes were made in the first place, and why the process skipped public scrutiny and debate in Parliament. Someone might have said, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Says Langer, “It appears to be a case of – this is what we have done, now we will consult with you so you can tell us how it’s going to be made to work.”

THE NEWS/letters Seriously ill part of larger family EDITOR, THE NEWS
Re: Right to choose gaining momentum, The News, Aug. 3. In yet another article, Dr. Marco Terwiel claims that everyone should have the right to kill themselves or help others kill themselves, if they so choose. He equates this to a woman’s right to vote, give birth or not, and even to our freedom of speech and religion. I don’t see a parallel in any of this. We should only have the right to choose as long as that choice doesn’t interfere with the basic rights of others. The right to life is the most fundamental right anyone can possess. Without this right, one becomes property. Those suffering serious heath issues are members of an extended circle of family and friends. These people, and the wider community when necessary, should be there to help care for them. When someone dies, the impact of that death is always far-reaching. Ask any parent who has lost a child to an accident, drug overdose, or especially to suicide. I can’t imagine anything harder to endure than losing a loved one to suicide. There are endless cases of people with serious health issues. See for example, the difficulties Angel Twedt of Maple Ridge, has to deal with, (The News, Aug. 3). She is there for her family, with the support of the community. The bottom line is that we do belong to those around us, and our decisions have an impact on many other people. Sometimes we need to be courageous, like Angel Twedt. Again, Dr. Terwiel should explore the abuses from doctor-assisted suicide, that have occurred in Holland. They are documented in the medical journal The Lancet. We in Canada have access to state-of-the-art hospice care and pain management. We already have the right to refuse extraordinary medical interventions such as ventilators, once death is inevitable. No one needs to be kept alive artificially, when there is no hope for recovery, under existing Canadian law. Suicide is not a courageous choice. RICHARD WHALEN MAPLE RIDGE
Worried about GMO food EDITOR, THE NEWS:
I am writing in response to Dan Banov’s misinformed opinion on GMO labelling. (The News, Aug. 1) Banov is wrong, GMO foods must be labelled as such because they are not equal to real food. GMO means “genetically modified organism” and GMO crops have been fundamentally changed from the original plant. For example, there are several strains of GMO corn – some have been engineered to produce a specific pesticide to kill insects that feed upon the crop, while others strains are engineered to be immune to the large quantities of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides which need to be heaped upon them throughout their growing season because the pests have become resistant. GMO is not just creating a tomato that is a different colour, it is much more than that, and animals know instinctively to avoid eating GMO food. They won’t eat it because it is not good for them. It is my understanding that Canada does not grow any GMO crops, for which I am grateful. I watch this issue very carefully because I don’t want to feed any genetically modified produce to my family. I wouldn’t even want Dan Banov to eat it. LAURIE GESCHKE MAPLE RIDGE

Bully bite worse than poodle’s EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Dr. Adrian Walton’s letter, The News, July 27. There has been a great deal of talk recently about pit bulls and related breeds and their pros and cons as pets. I understand there is support within the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows community for the pit bull and related breeds as pets. I don’t wish to begrudge pit bull fans their rights to their strong opinions. However, I would like to speak as a representative for the other side – one of those citizens who fears the pit bull, and I would like to share the reasons why I do. I believe Dr. Walton when he says that he is bitten more frequently by poodles and chihuahuas. Small breeds in general tend to be temperamental and quick to bite. The difference, however, between a poodle or chihuahua and a pit bull is that an attack by a small dog is relatively easy to fight off, even for a small child, and rarely results in what statisticians refer to as “maiming” by a canine. Pit bulls, by contrast, do not simply bite. When a pit bull bites, it does not nip and release like a poodle. It clamps down, or clamps and releases over and over again until someone or something
Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
Size and strength of dog figures into debate about dog bites. much stronger than it overpowers it. All children and many adults are not strong enough to overpower a pit bull when it bites. When you look at the statistics regarding fatal dog attacks, you won’t find a single poodle or chihuahua on the list. You will, however, find the pit bull and related
breeds. (I would like to note, though, that statistics also indicate that fatal Rottweiler attacks are about equal to, and in some areas and years greater than, those of the pit bull.) Fortunately, fatalities due to dog attacks of any breed are actually extremely rare in Canada. The disparity is even
greater when you leave out the statistics noting fatalities and look only at those that result in maiming. For every two poodle attacks that lead to a victim being maimed there are more than 1,000 pit bull attacks that leave a victim maimed. The ratio of pit bull to chihuahua attacks resulting in maiming is even greater. (In fact, the statistics regarding chihuahua attacks resulting in maiming are practically negligible.) I have a healthy fear of and respect for dogs of all breeds and sizes, and have instilled that same healthy fear into my children. We never approach and certainly do not pet a strange dog without permission from its owner. Even if granted permission, we approach cautiously and with respect for the dog’s natural protective instincts. However, if I had to choose whether I’d rather confront a poodle or a pit bull in a dead end alley, I bet you can guess which one I’d prefer to defend myself against. Again, I respect those who love pit bulls, but I just happen to be one of a group of people just as significant in number that don’t care for the pit bull as a family pet. JENNY SCHWEYER MAPLE RIDGE
Gun control a placebo, won’t fix violence problem EDITOR, THE NEWS:
No one ever wants to see the murders that occurred in Colorado, on that we can agree. Each time this happens though, people naturally will look to prevent it from happening again, and so we should. As a society, we have tried blaming random murders on things such as satanic verses in records played backwards, or on the degradation of our society through “loose morals” and to objects such as firearms. All have failed. Gun control is a placebo. It won’t cure the problem. It simply can’t. More Canadians realize this. I don’t have an answer as how to stop the problem and frankly I would be skeptical of any quick, broad-stroke cure put forward by a politician.
However, most, if not all of these shootings, have just one thing in common, they all happened in a “gun free” zone. This ensures a target-rich environment where the murderer can continue uninterrupted until someone with a gun stops them. I would never suggest that just anyone be able to carry guns – maybe just off-duty police officers or those that have been trained to the same degree. One could presume that if they are good enough to walk down the street with a 9 mm while on duty, they should be sound enough off duty. How much longer will we continue down the wrong path, before all of us see it it’s the wrong path? CRAIG JONES WANSTALL’S HUNTING AND SHOOTING SUPPLIES, MAPLE RIDGE

Man banned from parks, pools for 10 yrs. Pleads guilty to child luring over Internet by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter A Maple Ridge man convicted of luring a child via the Internet is

A charge of possession child pornography was stayed. Yerbury, 40, was charged with the offence last year after a police investigation. In addition to the decade-long prohibition, Yerbury was given an 18-month conditional sentence which includes being under

house arrest for the ďŹ rst 12 months. He has a curfew from midnight to 6 a.m. for the remainder of his sentence. Neighbours of Yerbury however are questioning why police and the courts have not made the public aware of his conviction. Yerbury’s Facebook account still remains active but has not been used since he was sentenced. Neil MacKenzie,a spokesperson for B.C.’s criminal justice branch, said Crown is not involved in public notiďŹ cation. Those notiďŹ cation are usually made by Correction Canada or police. Ridge Meadows RCMP conďŹ rm that the detachment is aware of Yerbury’s conditional sentence and will be monitoring him. RCMP said public notiďŹ cation are made on a case by case basis. Police rely on reports that assess whether a person is a “high risk to reoffendâ€? or an imminent danger. Yerbury’s information will also be entered into Canada’s sex offender registry. The registry however is not public and only accessible to police. The Canadian Centre for Child Protection, which operates cybertip.ca, supports community notiďŹ cations as a way to increase public safety, especially if an offender has been convicted of a crime against a child. There is a different threshold when it comes to children, said
Signy Anrason, director of Cybertip.ca, a national tipline dedicated to combating the sexual exploitation of children. “We have an obligation to protect children who are obviously the most vulnerable section in our society,â€? she added. “NotiďŹ cations are important for parents to receive so that they are aware and in the know about individuals in their community who may be at risk of harming kids.â€? In Canada, a “conditional sentenceâ€? supervisor, similar to a probation ofďŹ cer, monitors offenders under house arrest or serving sentencing in the community. But Anrason notes it’s impossible for police or supervisors to keep track of their movements 24/7. “Resources are always an issue,â€? said Arnason. “Knowing how serious it is – particularly if it’s a case that involves kids – it is important to raise community awareness, so we are not relying on police per se to manage safety in these regards.â€? Critics of community notiďŹ cation however say they are not in the public or the offender’s best interest. They say treatment and community support reduce the risk of re-offending for most sex offenders. The John Howard Society believes notiďŹ cation constitutes cruel and unusual punishment and instigate vigilante justice.

A fire caused by an exploding air conditioning unit was quickly doused by sprinklers and garden hoses Friday evening in Maple Ridge after it spread to a townhouse. The explosion happened around 8 p.m. while a man was removing the air conditioner from a pickup truck parked in the driveway of a townhouse at 22977 – 116th Ave. Fire chief Dane Spence said a fireball came through a window. “The sprinkler system went off inside and kept the fire to the outside of the residence,” said Spence. Neighbours used garden hoses and fire extinguishers to put

If it wasn’t for a sprinkler system, townhome could have gone up in flames. out the fire from the outside. The flames melted vinyl siding on the home. “They managed to knock it down,” added Spence. No one was injured in the fire.
Suspicious fire A detached garage in downtown Maple Ridge was damaged by fire early Tuesday. A neighbour called 911 around 4 a.m. after he woke up and saw flames engulf the ga-
rage on St. Anne Avenue, near 223rd Street. Assistant fire chief Howard Exner said the fire caused substantial damage to the detached garage but did not spread. The fire has been deemed suspicious and RCMP are investigating. • Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call RCMP at 604-463-6251. To remain anonymous call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or leave a tip online at www.bccrimestoppers.com. CrimeStoppers will pay a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
Countries back away from online Online from Front “If the independent panel determines we can maintain the utmost electoral integrity, I’m optimistic Internet voting could increase accessibility for British Columbians to participate in the democratic process.” The move makes good on a promise by Premier Christy Clark last year to modernize B.C.’s electoral process to increase voter turnout. According to Elections B.C., voter turnout has declined from 70 per cent of eligible voters in 1983 to 51 per cent in 2009.
Nola Western, deputy chief electoral officer at Elections B.C., said the panel likely will need until 2014 to recommend changes to the Election Act that would permit online voting. Independent experts on Internet security and electoral administration will be asked to serve on the committee, with a first meeting expected in October. Elections B.C. already has online voter registration, as well as data sharing with the federal voters’ list, ICBC and the B.C. Vital Statistics Agency to keep the voters’ list up to date.
Western said online voting has been used in Halifax and Markham, Ont., but has not yet been tried at the provincial or federal level in Canada. However, the Sather security issues involved with Internet voting concern local NDP MLA Michael Sather. “The most secure form of voting is the old fashioned way,” Sather said. “When you go to the polls, you should show
ID. It’s certainly more secure than a PIN number, which can get passed around easily.” While Sather admits declining voter turnout is an issue, Internetbased voting brings with it more serious issues. “I don’t have any ready-made solutions, but clearly people are not as engaged with the political process as some would like,” he said. “But I’m not convinced [Internet voting] is what we want.” A discussion paper published by Elections B.C. last year notes that strong concerns have been raised by computer security experts in the United States about the potential for an Internet voting system to be targeted for a cyber-attack and the challenges in protecting such a system. The Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Germany, are moving away from Internet and other forms of electronic voting due concerns over security and transparency. The Elections B.C. report also notes there is inconclusive evidence regarding how Internet voting affects overall turnout. However, there could be substantial cost savings. Close to $11.5 million was paid to hire 37,000 election officials during the 2009 provincial election.

Pipeline decision up to experts: PM
things are evaluated on an independent basis, scientiďŹ cally, and not simply on political criteria.â€? Harper told reporters he has spoken with B.C. Premier Christy Clark and other premiers about pipelines, but those conversations are private. It’s his ďŹ rst public comment since a dispute erupted between Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford in July over Clark’s demand for more revenues. “I’m not going to get into an argument or discussion about how we divide hypothetical revenues,â€? Harper said. He did emphasize that in general, it is important for Canada to diversify its trade and open up new markets in Asia. The federal government is planning “huge investmentsâ€? to improve environmental protection for shipping resource material, but it won’t favour any individual project, he said. Kinder Morgan hopes to twin its existing oil pipeline from Alberta to port and reďŹ nery facilities in Burnaby, to transport more heavy oil from the Athabasca oil sands.
‘Independent evaluation’ only way for touchy projects by Tom Fletcher Black Press Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rejected suggestions his government is considering pushing through the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline across northern B.C. Harper was asked about Enbridge Inc.’s pipeline project at a Harper stop in Vancouver Tuesday, and the frequent accusation that he has already decided it is in the national interest for it to proceed. “I’ve been very clear that decisions on these kinds of projects are made through an independent evaluation conducted by scientists into the economic costs and risks that are associated with the project,� Harper said. “I think that’s the only way governments can handle controversial projects of this manner, to ensure that

fires are out after a burning ember led to the destruction of a parks truck and nearly sparked a forest fire. A park ranger was transporting campfire ash in a metal container in the back of a pickup truck Friday afternoon after cleaning out firepits in the park’s campground. Park manager Stu Burgess said a stillburning ember must have been hidden amongst the ashes in the back of the truck and reignited as the ranger was driving. “The ember was likely stoked by the wind in the back of the truck and reignited the ash it was sitting in,” he said.
Fire quickly consumed the truck, blowing out the rear window before destroying the truck completely. The fire soon spread to the nearby forest, catching several trees and scorching bushes. However, the Maple Ridge Fire Department arrived and were able to prevent the fire from spreading further. “The firefighters got there just in time,” said Burgess. Burgess said it’s important for campers to make sure their campfire is out as embers can reignite in the fire pit, as well as in a garbage bin, and even start fires underground.

A RCMP helicopter quickly located two young women who got lost while hiking in Golden Ears Provincial Park, near Maple Ridge, on Aug. 2. The women, an 18-year-old girl from Langley and a 19-yearold friend from Mission, used a cellphone to call for help around 9:30 p.m. after they were unable to get back to the parking lot. Ridge Meadows RCMP and Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue volunteers set up a command post at the entrance to the UBC Research Forest, at the north end of 232nd Street. Air One was called and the lost women were spotted by the pilot shortly after he flew over the area.

Development Information Meeting
¨
Search and rescue volunteers were directed to their location and led the women out of the forest. “The girls, who are not experienced hikers, obviously did their homework and took all hiking essentials,� said Sgt. Dale Somerville. The women had water, food, other clothing and a cellphone. Although the hikers were prepared, police are warning others not to depend on modern technology alone. “Quite often cell phones are not able to get a signal so it is very important that hikers notify a family member or a friend regarding their plans, and when they’re supposed to return,� said Somerville. If you are hiking in unfamiliar areas, keep track of land marks and the surroundings. Knowing how to use a compass also helps.

MAPLE RIDGE • PITT MEADOWS
Government wants you to save by Lynn Eas ton contributor This week marks a month since the federal government’s new mortgage regulations came into effect. The arrival of the new rules coincides with one of the biggest downturns in market activity in a decade. Sales in the region were down 31 per cent from the 10-year July average and the downturn produced the lowest number of sales since 2000, according to Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver monthly statistics. The real estate board reports that sales in Greater Vancouver were down 11 per cent from July 2011 – with 2,098 sales this July compared with 2,571 for the same month last year. New listings are also down almost six per cent from July 2011 while this July marked the quietest month this year for new listings. And while housing markets traditionally slow down when the weather heats up, the new regulations are being seen as a potential reason some buyers are staying away this August. “People appear to be cautious about making significant financial decisions right now,” real estate board president Eugen Klein stated in a release.

Government made it a bit tougher to get into housing market, with new rules on mortgages. “While our local economy appears to be quite robust, there may be some concern about the impact of international markets and the federal government’s tightening of mortgage regulations.” Under the new rules, which came into effect July 9, buyers applying for government-backed mortgages with less than 20 per cent down can only have a maximum amortization period of 25
years, down from 30 years. That means monthly payments on three- to four-per-cent mortgages could increase as much as 12 per cent, to an average increase of about $250 a month. Anyone hoping for a government-insured mortgage for more than $1 million must slap down at least 20 per cent on their mortgage. Other new rules include lowering the maximum amount
borrowers can refinance to 80 per cent, down from 85 per cent. As well, the total debt-service ratio is now limited to 39 per cent of household income. Some local lenders have noticed the summer slump and did their best to get clients into new homes before the new rules went into effect. “For sure, it will have an effect on some people,” said Yvonne Vanderkooi of Maple Ridge’s AR-

MADA Mortgage Services. “Right now it’s a little quiet. We did our best to get as many people through before the changes.” While the changes will make an impact immediately on homeowners’ pocketbooks, the changes will also help buyers build up equity quicker because they will pay less in interest payments in the long run. Financial institutions have warned that Canadians need to watch their debt ratio and the government is determined to get people to use their homes as a way of to create some savings by demanding stricter rules. “They are making Canadians save through their homes,” she said. Vanderkooi also sees some good news in the latest from Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, who announced this week that he won’t go ahead with any of his other proposed changes to mortgage regulations. Those included increasing the minimum allowable down payment a couple of percentage points from the existing five per cent for homes under $1 million, or tinkering with line of credit rules for home buyers. “This is a real relief,” she said. “We’re all still getting used to the revision we’ve just had. Increasing the down payment needed would make it even harder for buyers to get into the market.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: How do your fees work? A: We charge a flat fee of $6900 + HST for anything that sells under $600,000, and a rate of 1% of the sale price + $900 + HST for anything that sells over $600,000. Q: How can you provide the same services but charge less? A: We work on volume. So many people want us to sell their homes that we can make a good living without charging a lot. It doesn’t take any more work to sell a $600,000 home than to sell a $300,000 home, so why should you pay so much more? Q: If I pay less, will I settle for less service and get less money? A: Definitely not. You’ll get the same level of services and the same results you’d expect to receive at other brokerages. Full MLS®, REALTOR.ca, professional photos, open houses, all documentation, negotiations, and an experienced agent. Q: Will other REALTORS® show my home if I list with One Percent Realty? A: Absolutely, yes. Statistically, One Percent Realty is similar to other brokerages -- Approximately 70-80% ** of our listings annually are sold by agents from other brokerages (and we can prove it). Buyers don’t care who is listing your property; buyers only care if your property is right for them. So, our properties are shown or sold by other agents every day of the year. Give us a call to hear the straight facts! ** Based on One percent Realty Accounting statistics

Vancouver works with developers to create Downtown South
Revitalizing the Granville Loops The City of Vancouver has been working with developers such as Cressey Development to re-imagine the area around the Granville Street onramps into a thriving neighbourhood they call Downtown South. With plans for new roadways, biking and walking access to the Stanley Park SeaWall and False Creek waterfront and plenty of commercial space, the community will be the perfect place to purchase a home. “It’s all that Downtown South has to offer,” says Cressey Development Manager David Evans. “There’s entertainment, shopping, the beach, the Seawall ... It provides access to all the amenities.”
Cressey is proud to be a part of the area with Maddox, a 32-storey condominium tower located on Howe and Drake streets. The pedestrian-friendly aspect of the community is particularly important, Evans says. “One of its biggest strengths is access,” he says. With Granville Island, Yaletown and Robson Street within easy reach, buyers who purchase in the area will find everything they could possibly imagine close by. Future projects include a grocery store, the opportunity for vendors such as food carts and sidewalk extensions for outdoor cafes and restaurant patios.
evening at home, no matter what the weather is doing outside. The 10-foot ceilings in some homes add to the considerable sense of space that is inherent in the living areas, which offer plenty of room for entertaining. Lakewood prides itself on quality workmanship and attention to detail, and this is certainly apparent at One92.
There will be 69 homes in the project, ranging from 474 to 1,283 square feet. “There’s something for everybody,” says sales manager Rob Carlsen. “The response has been fantastic.” With features like nine or 10-foot ceilings (depending on where in the building your home is), a spacious walk-in shower in the ensuite and lush landscaping outside, Salix is a truly beautiful development. Many of the homes have views of Mount Baker or the surrounding Clayton Heights area. Building on the popularity of Woodbridge’s Willow Grand development, “we were able to listen to purchasers’ needs and wants,” says Carlsen. “It genuinely makes me excited that we covered a lot of the bases that purchasers were looking for.”
‘Something for everybody’
No trouble finding a home in Clayton Heights by Kerry Vital
Clayton Heights is a rapidly growing community on the border of Surrey and Langley. Due to its proximity to both cities as well as Cloverdale, it is perfectly situated to take advantage of every amenity that the Lower Mainland has to offer. Less than an hour from the Vancouver International Airport and less than half an hour from the U.S. border, Clayton Heights offers education, recreation, shopping and dining all within a few minutes. Woodbridge Homes’ La Rue La Rue is an intimate community of 49 two- to four-bedroom townhomes. With beautiful details like nine-foot ceilings on the main floor and stainlesssteel appliances, there is much to love at La Rue. With its tagline of “the street you want to live on”, La Rue is proving very popular with people of all demographics. “La Rue offers so many things,” says sales manager Andrea Castro. “I love this product.” The kitchens are particularly beautiful, with ceramic tile backsplashes and stone countertops that are perfectly complemented by the chic wood laminate flooring throughout the main living areas and entrances. Conveniently located close to several
schools, parks and recreation, Castro says that La Rue is great for young families. “Clayton offers so many things for families,” she says, adding “these are a different style of home. You’re close to everything, but you’re also quiet and away from all the busy-ness.” Lakewood’s One92 Lakewood has brought a collection of carriage homes, condominiums and townhomes to Clayton Heights, in a variety of floorplans. With 72 homes in the project, oversized windows, sleek laminate flooring and amazing open-plan kitchens are just some of the amazing features. A designer tile backsplash is complemented by the under-cabinet lighting and contemporary shaker-style cabinetry and gorgeous quartz countertops. A special feature of the homes is the electric fireplace with mood-adjustable accent lighting. It is perfect for curling up with a book or enjoying a romantic
Woodbridge Homes’ Salix Woodbridge continues with its mastery of the Clayton Heights area with Salix, a collection of one-, twoand three-bedroom condominiums. The open-plan layouts and three interior schemes (Craftsman Traditional, Casual Contemporary and Modern Chic) available at Salix make for a truly stunning mix of residences.
“
Clayton offers so many things for families,” says La Rue sales manager Andrea Castro.

Burrards play key role in capturing gold Team B.C. sweeps aside rival Ontario to claim bantam and midget girls national titles by T i m Fi t z g e r a l d contributor The West is best when it comes to girls lacrosse. Both the bantam and midget Team B.C girls squad won the national title in Victoria with the help of four local Ridge Meadows Burrards players. Candace McDole and Megan Kinna suited up for Team B.C.’s bantam team while Ciarra Curran and Marlo Bellamy played for the midget team. All four are part of the first B.C. girls teams to win the national titles. McDole said the hard work over the past month-and-a-half was worth the effort. From the long practices to the tireless efforts by the coaching staff,
McDole said the process for winning was in place from the start. “We grew close over the six weeks and that helped us better understand each other, communicate, and bring home the gold,” said Team B.C.’s youngest bantam player. “Our hard work paid off and I`m sure I will have lifetime friendships.” To win gold, the bantam girls team battled a familiar foe in Team Ontario. The two teams had played a pair of spirited affairs in roundrobin play, with Ontario winning the opening game 4-3 in overtime before Team B.C. bounced back to take second match 5-3. Team B.C. jumped out to an early 2-0 lead with goals from Keeley O’Neill of New Westminster and Ridge Meadows’s Kinna. However, much like their roundrobin games, Ontario wasn’t going to go away quietly as they replied with two quick goals to tie the affair 2-2 after the end of the opening frame.
the eventual winner. Ontario finally bulged the twine late in the second to keep its slim hopes alive. However, Team B.C.’s Jenna Chernoff of New Westminster gave the home province the 4-1 lead before Ontario managed a late goal to round out the scoring. Bellamy said she was at a loss in trying to explain what winning gold meant to her and her teammates.. “I was so excited when we won, There are not nearly enough words to describe how I felt.” This is the first time the Burrards have sent anyone other than a goalie to the national teams. Bellamy also attributed the win to the great work by the coaching staff, volunteers and family members that sacrificed so much for their success. “It felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders when we won. All the long hard practices and the nerves were gone, and we were left with the gold. It was an experience that I will never forget.”
Team B.C.’s Katie Browning of New Westminster scored a shorthanded marker at the 6:30 mark of the second to recapture the lead. Three minutes later, Elle Hamilton of Juan de Fuca restored Team B.C.’s two-goal lead after scoring on a breakaway. Team B.C. held the two goal advantage late into the final period before Ontario nudged closer with a late goal. It was too little, too late as the Bantam Girls celebrated their national title. Not to be outdone, the Team B.C. midget girls also came face-to-face with Team Ontario for the gold medal. Both teams met earlier in the round robin with B.C. winning both, 7-0 and 2-1 respectively. In the finals, Team B.C. again scored first with goals from Kaitlyn Yan of Burnaby and Squwey Gottfriedsen of Kamloops. Team B.C. continued their high-pressure transition game in the second period, allowing Ridge Meadows product Bellamy to score
America’s past time has slipped through its fingers and into the hands of a team of Canadians. Team B.C., a pee wee select team, featuring Ridge Meadows products Michael Stovman and Brayden Slaughter, were part of a historic tournament win at the Continental Amateur Baseball Association World Series tournament in Sylviana, Ohio. The pair were part of the first-ever Canadian squad to win the tournament, dating back 29 years. The team went undefeated at the event, sporting an 8-0 record. Team B.C. head coach Randy Downes said his select team was able to gel quickly for the tournament. He said used his experience from his trip to the same tournament in 2011 to pick his team. “We were certainly the biggest team there,” said Downes, who also coaches in Port Coquitlam. “We had a lot of depth at pretty much every position. We had kids who could play step up and defence in tight games as well as some strong pitching.” The team used a total of nine different players on the mound during the tournament. Downes said both Stovman and Slaughter played key roles in Ohio. See Underdogs, p41

First win at U.S. tournament in 29 years Baseball from p39 “Michael is such a versatile player. You can put him anywhere on the field and he’s a great left-handed bat,” said Downes. The coach said Slaughter was one of three catchers Team B.C. selected for the trip down south and ended up playing the lion’s share of games after an injury to another backstop. While Downes said Slaughter’s league team in Ridge Meadows Struggled through the season, he said the catcher excelled on Team B.C. “He had a lot key hits in some big moments for us,” said the head coach, most notably his two-out single in the bottom of the second inning to open the scoring in the tournament final. Team B.C. won the CABA World Series with an 11-3 drubbing of the Wisconsin River Cats. Despite the score, coach Downes said the
game was much closer than the score indicated. Team B.C. trailed 3-1 through three innings before breaking the game wide open with eight runs in the 5th. The head coach also pointed out the competitive nature of the American teams made winning the tournament all that much sweeter. He said two close wins against the Springfield Bulldogs, the pre-tournament favourite, only intensified the competition. “There’s no question about it, they didn’t like getting beat.” Brent Stovman, who accompanied his son Michael on the trip and help volunteer, said he thinks the historic win may have been lost on the group of B.C. kids. “I don’t think the boys truly understand what they accomplished as the CABA tournaments are considered a showcase of future MLB tal-
