Same decal for Golden ears and new Port Mann

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

If you use the Golden Ears Bridge, you’ll probably use the new Port Mann Bridge, so you might as well join the crowd, register, save a bundle and make life simpler.

Then come December, you can rip out that old plastic TransLink transponder from 2010, get your $10-deposit back, and use the free TReO plastic decal, good for both bridges.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said Wednesday, when it made its announcement about toll charges for the new Port Mann, that users of both bridges can use the same decal. All motorists have to do is go to treo.ca and register and the decal they’ll receive is good to go for both bridges.

Owners pitch Cardiff development Offer to build new outdoor pool

by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

The owner of a large green tract of land in south Pitt Meadows pitched council a plan for development on Tuesday, offering to build a new outdoor pool, if a portion of the property can be rezoned from industrial to residential.

At a committee meeting Tuesday, Mosaic Homes unveiled three ideas for a mixed “industrial-commercial campus” on the 40.4-hectare (100 acres) property – known locally as Cardiff Farms.

The property owners need the city’s support to pursue a change in zoning at the Metro Vancouver level from industrial to residential.

The better the mix of uses, the more benefits, said Rob McCarthy, with Mosaic, the developer that built Pitt Mead-

LYNDY BUYZE-KERR 604-466-2838

ows’ waterfront Osprey Village.

Depending on how large it is, the industrial-commercial section would provide 500 to 4,000 jobs.

Mosaic suggested the development could even house a hockey school.

McCarthy, though, provided few details about the residential component of Mosaic’s plan, saying only that it would be similar to the subdivisions that surround the property, located on Harris Road at Airport Way.

Mosaic and property owners Alouette Estates enticed council by suggesting they would contribute an amenity to the city - an outdoor pool with changing rooms, that could eventually be enclosed.

McCarthy was optimistic about attracting businesses to the industrial “campus,” although the property is located across the street from the Golden Ears Business Centre, a industrial complex that currently sits almost empty.

Coun. Doug Bing, near the property in question, prefers a proposal that would create the most jobs.

Commission refocuses on farmland Agency will be more proactive, reduce time spent on exclusion applications

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

People trying to take farmland out of the reserve best be prepared for the long haul, if their application succeeds at all, if recent words carry any weight.

A message last month from Agricultural Land Commission chair Richard Bullock says the commission is weary of merely reacting to exclusion requests, which it says takes 80 per cent of its time.

During one year, the commission can get up 700 new applications.

Instead, it wants to take control of its workload and spend only 30 per cent of its time reviewing those requests. It also wants to do “earlier and more extensive” local planning, while encouraging cities “to adopt compact and efficient development patterns that minimize pressure on ALR (Agricultural Land Reserve) boundaries.”

Many applications “are nothing more than an attempt to gain a financial benefit from non-agricultural uses or from removing land from the ALR,” Bullock writes.

Pitt Meadows Coun. Doug Bing supports such a change – but still feels Pitt Meadows’s own pending farmland exclusion application has a good chance to be approved by the Agricultural Land Commission.

In July, council told staff to prepare an application that would remove 80 acres of farmland from the reserve on the north side of Lougheed Highway to allow for commercial use and construction of the North Lougheed Connector.

“I think it has a solid chance.”

Pitt Meadows met with the land commission this past spring and seemed to support the proposal, he pointed out.

THE NEWS/files

Pitt Meadows is confident its ALR removal application, in part to build the North Lougheed Connector, will be successful.

“They seemed to be quite understanding of our particular situation.

They saw a lot of merit in our argument.”

A major part of Pitt Meadows’s motivation for the application is to have a road that will handle growing traffic volume from Maple Ridge, whose population could double in 30 years.

“We’ve got all these people wanting to get through Pitt Meadows in order to get farther west.”

Most on Pitt Meadows council also feel that if the North Lougheed Connector is built from Golden Ears Way to Lougheed Highway, the land between it and the Lougheed Highway will become too noisy and expensive for farming.

Bing pointed out the land withdrawn would be less than two per cent of Pitt Meadows ALR land.

“This is the last developable piece

of land in our urban area and there’s no plan to expand the urban boundary.”

Coun. Janice Elkerton opposes the plan and said the justification that a new road will help farm traffic isn’t accurate.

“I don’t think that road will do anything to alleviate traffic on Old Dewdney Trunk Road.”

Instead, she thinks stop signs should be used to discourage traffic.

“I’m just hoping it doesn’t get the support at the ALC.” The proposal still has to go to public hearing.

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin hasn’t read the ALC statement, but agreed with the approach of the new mandate.

Speculation has to be taken out of the farmland exclusion process, he said.

He said it’s crazy for the commission to receive 700 exclusion applications a year.

“I think it’s going to give us all pause as to what we’re doing.”

Maple Ridge council’s policy is not to support any exclusion applications that would see farmland turned into housing subdivisions.

But he also wants Maple Ridge to be treated fairly, pointing out Langley had a big chunk land removed from the ALR in 2010 near Trinity Western University.

But an application to remove the Pelton lands on 203rd Street in Maple Ridge was rejected by the commission.

The ALC has also said it doesn’t support removing land from the west side of 105th Avenue in the Albion flats.

“I just want to be treated the same.”

Maple Ridge creating agricultural endowment fund

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Maple Ridge is trying to help the future of farming by creating an agricultural endowment reserve account for the cause, supplied by taxes generated when land is lost to farming.

Council OK’d the step at its Tuesday meeting after discussing it at its Monday workshop.

The money would come by allocating 10 per cent of the increase in municipal taxes that result when farmland is converted into commer-

cial or industrial use.

Director of corporate support John Bastaja told council, though, that it’s hard to predict how much cash the account would pile up. That depends how much land is converted, he said.

“No one else has done this as far as I’m aware.”

Coun. Mike Morden said the proposal meant taking money out of the tax base of the future, and latter added that the person selling the property for non-farm use and making the profit should be the one paying.

A report by Bastaja suggested that the reserve account be divvied up by spending half of it on upgrading

farm infrastructure and 25 per cent each on marketing and agricultural studies.

But council decided to remove those percentages and allow more flexibility.

The funding should go a long way to provide “much-needed support for work in areas where there is no traditional funding source,” the report said.

Examples of projects that would qualify include promotions, studies and research in the context of agriculture.

Coun. Bob Masse asked why the reserve account couldn’t be supplied

be residential developments.

But Bastaja said housing subdivisions don’t pay for themselves.

The property taxes generated aren’t enough to pay for the services required so it would be “inappropriate” to take the 10 per cent from those developments.

Coun. Al Hogarth called the idea of the agricultural endowment reserve “innovative and creative.”

Land that has been lost to agriculture can then support the activity, he said.

The fund could support the Agricultural Land Commission in increasing food productivity.

Development permit for Target Maple Ridge council cleared the way for Target to start its renovations to Haney Place Mall, approving a development permit Tuesday.

Renovations for the new Target store will start February 2013, with a projected store opening date of Nov. 15, 2013, according to the District of Maple Ridge.

Renovations include removing the west side of the building to change the configuration and location of the elevator and escalators, as well as expanding the building footprint and relocation of the store entrance.

The current total floor space is approximately 86,000 square feet, and the new Target store will be approximately 110,000 square feet.

John Dewes, with Target, told council Monday that the total number of employees in the Maple Ridge location will be about 250, with a mix of full-time and part time-positions. He also said Target donates five per cent of pre-tax profits for its community giving program, and that part of that money is directed by the management team at each store.

More homes along 240th Street A townhouse project along 240th Street received final reading Tuesday, giving the go ahead for work to begin on the 159-unit project.

Platinum Enterprises is proposing to build that many units within 25 buildings at 10175 – 240th St. The complex border Albion elementary on one side and conservation wetlands on the other.

Storm water from the roofs and driveways will be collected in shallow ditches, then will flow into a pond in the wetlands area.

Each home will have two parking spaces and there will be racks for 24 bicycles, two child play areas and a network of paths throughout the site. Thirty-two visitor parking spaces are also included.

“They’re good starter units,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin.

The project means 240th Street will be widened to four lanes from Lougheed Highway to 102nd Avenue, with sidewalks on both sides.

The development takes place on a nine-acre site that recently was included within the urban boundary.

Car Care Mosaic ‘vague’ on residential component with Cyril Barry

THE SHADOW Many years ago when your dad dropped the car off at the corner gas station for repairs the procedure was much more laid back and relaxed, times were not so busy or complex then. If the job wasn’t going to take too long you might grab a free coffee and hang around the shop while the mechanic worked on your car. That way if he had any questions, you were right there to answer them for him. Better yet, you could watch what he was doing to your car, maybe ask him a few questions and learn a thing or to about your car. Sound familiar?

Times have changed in a very big way, cars and trucks are now quite complicated. It takes more equipment and constant training to repair vehicles for a living. There is a lot more going on than meets the eye and time is money, yours, mine and the next guys. Gone are the days that you could kill time by hanging around in the shop area while your car or truck is getting serviced or repaired.

In a modern, well equipped shop like ours there is just too much going on to have a customer “hanging around”. Not only is it a hazardous environment but there is alot happening and everything has it place and purpose. To run a successful auto repair shop these days you must have the ability to work on multiple vehicles in a constant flow, over and over again. This is the only way we can afford the staggering costs involved with operating our business while staying current with the constant requirements for newer equipment and upgrade training. In short we must be operating a near peak capacity, just to survive and that is no exaggeration.

When you bring your vehicle to our shop, you are the boss when it comes to your vehicle as we are working for you, not to mention ten other bosses. Let us do our jobs without interruption as it will save you money, if you have any questions by all means ask the service manager in the office.

In our shop we check out the car, advise the customer what is required and take a trip out to the vehicle and show them. This trip is your opportunity to talk to the technician doing the work, take a look at your problem and discuss it with all concerned.

After that, it’s your job to let us do our job, if you need or want to give more information, talk to the service writer or manager in the office. Do not wander into the shop and talk to the technician working on your vehicle, unless your asked too. He does not need a second shadow.

Council was receptive to Mosaic’s pitch, but wanted more details.

Mosaic did not return a request by The News to elaborate on the proposal.

Coun. Gwen O’Connell said she would not pass a development just for a new swimming pool.

Her colleagues described Mosaic’s presentation as vague, but acknowledged the developer was just testing the water to gauge the city’s interest. Council asked Mosaic to work on a more concrete proposal with Pitt Meadows Economic Development Corporation.

Coun. Doug Bing, like his colleagues, preferred the development concept that has the potential to generate between 2,500-4,000 jobs versus the concept that would create between 500-

Colleen Flanagan/the news

The proposal included a mix of uses, including industrial and commercial.

1,000.

However, because the developer presented little or no information about plans for residential development, Bing noted the proposals were difficult to assess.

“At this stage, I think if the proposal was sent to Metro Vancouver, it has little chance of passing.”

Coun. Janis Elkerton

hopes Mosaic doesn’t misinterpret positive comments by council as out-right support.

“I’m certainly not gung-ho about a bunch of homes down there,” said Coun. Janis Elkerton.

“That’s why the area [for homes] was blank on their presentation.

It’s not going to be half

residential and half industrial, that just won’t fly. They know our city’s theme song: jobs and taxes.”

Coun. Dave Murray assured city residents that council would “get the best deal for the city,” one that brings the most jobs.

But he, too, noted: “There were a lot of holes in the presentation.”

Mosaic’s history with the Osprey Village development had several councillors concerned.

The company was granted four amendments to the original Osprey proposal, reducing its commercial component and adding more residential.

Mosaic has yet to complete that project or build a chapel and pub or restaurant that were meant to draw people to Osprey’s main street.

“As council, it is good to have an open mind,

but Mosaic’s proposal lacked substance, detail and commitment,” said Coun. Bruce Bell.

“A potential show stopper for me is if some of the property was rezoned to residential and the housing projects are built before any commercial-industrial projects. I do not believe that that would be a good practice. We have seen that kind of maneuver before.”

Mayor Deb Walters, however, said she has always envisioned a mix of uses - residential and light industrial - on the Cardiff Farms land.

“For me, it’s about jobs for our community and the benefits that our residents will receive from such a development. I like the fact that the developers are looking at innovative ways to develop this parcel,” she added.

Lawsuit dismissed against City of Pitt Meadows Business owner claimed dike improvements caused problems staff reporter

A man who sued the City of Pitt Meadows for a drainage problem on his property had his lawsuit dismissed last week.

Provincial court judge Thomas Woods found that William Norton, who owns High Country Outfitters, failed to prove the municipality’s improvements to a dike in 2007 increased the flow of water onto his McQuarrie Road property to the point where it damaged his septic tank.

Norton sued the city for $24,000 – the costs of replacing and installing a new tank. He represented himself in court.

Judge Woods found Norton’s

claims floundered because he failed to establish adequate proof of a link between the city’s dike improvements and the failure of the septic tank that the court found was at least 23 years old.

Norton testified, somewhat speculatively, that the septic system was only six years old at the time of its failure. However, there is no record of any new septic system installation or system upgrade having been performed at the McQuarrie Road Property since 1985.

Norton submitted no evidence to back his claim, nor did he question the records kept by the city.

“The evidence that I have accepted has persuaded me that … the raising of the dike was a non-event,” said Woods.

“Seepage is minimal to begin with and the improvements did not affect it in any way.”

Woods noted that High Country Outfitters and Norton did several things that may have altered the drainage patterns on the property.

Some of them improved drainage.

But other improvements – such as paving of large driveway surfaces that were previously absorptive – may have had unintended, undesirable effects.

The trial of Norton’s claims against the city took six days to be heard.

Judge Woods noted he took a somewhat relaxed approach to the rules of evidence and the question of relevance because Norton was trying to prove his claim without a lawyer.

Woods also acknowledged Norton’s skill and effort to prove his claim.

“While untrained in the ways of the law, Mr. Norton devoted

much energy and industry to advancing his company’s claims against the city,” said Woods.

“He had his struggles with the intricacies of trial procedure and the substantive law, to be sure, but often he showed skill in advocacy that goes beyond what one ordinarily expects to see in a layman.”

Woods denied the city’s request to impose a penalty against High Country Outfitters requiring that the business to pay an amount up to 10 per cent of the value of its claim – an amount up to $2,422.

He invited the city and Norton to discuss what constitute the city’s “reasonable expenses.” If the parties are unable to reach an agreement, Woods agreed to hear submissions and make the decision for them.

18681 McQuarrie Road is listed for sale at $1.2 million.

SEPTEMBER 2012: MID MONTH UPDATE

Maple Ridge This Month SPOTLIGHT ON: 2012 Terry Fox Run Sunday, September 16 from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm Terry Fox is a Canadian icon. Born and raised just west of our community in Port Coquitlam, Terry lost a leg to cancer in 1977, and he decided to do something to raise awareness about Cancer research by running across Canada. There are people in Maple Ridge that remember him running through our community as part of his training routine prior to setting off to Newfoundland to begin his journey. We know that he did not complete that run, and we lost this remarkable young man in 1981 as he succumbed to the disease that he was fighting to conquer.

INFORMED September 2012 Council Meeting Schedule Mayor and Council encourage everyone to attend these important public meetings. It is your chance to see how public policy is debated and enacted.

Tuesday, September 18 7:00 pm Public Hearing, Council Chambers

His legacy is the Terry Fox Run, which has spread across the nation and around the world.

One of the first communities to get on board was Maple Ridge. Each year folks gather at the Hammond Community Centre to walk or run as part of this national event. For many years, one of the most dedicated volunteers was Fred Elder. We lost Fred, to Cancer, a short while ago. His family and many friends have joined together to honour his memory at this year’s Terry Fox Run. It all begins at 8:30 am at the Hammond Community Centre. Terry is a national hero, and Fred is one of our local heroes. Each of us has been touched by Cancer in our circle of family and friends. Come out and honour the memory of your loved ones and heroes and help raise funds to eradicate Cancer from our lives.

Mayor and Council will be joining their colleagues from around BC at the Union of BC Municipalities in Victoria from Monday, September 24 to Friday, September 28. The regular cycle of Council Meetings will resume October 1, 2012.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Protect our children Canada’s crime rate is at a 30-year low, but despite that, people still feel the justice system is too lax on criminals.

Recent sentencings, like that of shamed senior RCMP officer Monty Robinson, give credence to people’s cries of foul. For obstructing justice in a hit-and-run death, he received a small conditional sentence and a temporary curfew.

This is in contrast to the sentencing of the Stanley Cup rioters.

Some young men being sentenced for taking part in the riot are receiving seven to nine months jail time for their part.

This may seem either harsh or just in the eyes of the public.

But in comparison, an Abbotsford man recently convicted of child pornography received only 18 months.

A conditional sentence is a common sentence for the crime, even if the perpetrator is not just looking at child porn, but distributing it.

Convicted pedophiles usually do see the inside of a jail cell, but sentences range and often aren’t longer than two years.

It is particularly troubling that in this study on crime rates, the offence which saw the largest increase was child pornography, which jumped 40 per cent in 2011 from 2010, say police.

The judicial system doesn’t appear to take sexual crimes against children as seriously as it does rioters.

The provincial government wanted to send a strong message that those who riot will pay for the crime they committed. The message was heard loud and clear by our judges who by B.C. judicial standards, are handing down harsh sentences.

If our government can carry that kind of weight and influence with the provincial judicial system in sending a message of deterrence for rioting, can it not send an even stronger message to protect our children from predators?

How to get a healthy immune system With the fall season around the corner, many of us will fall victim to the annual onslaught of colds, coughs or the dreaded flu.

But not everybody will be so unlucky to catch the various germs and viruses trying to attack us.

Health Care Much depends on Marco Terwiel your genes, lifestyle, environment and social circumstances.

If you have children in school, chances are they will bring home a good selection of the seasonal illnesses. A few hundred students in close contact for many hours a day make it very easy for viruses to infect most of them.

The same is true for those of us having to use overcrowded public transport or who spend most of their workday with hundreds of other individuals in large airconditioned buildings, where viruses get blown around all day long.

From mid-September onwards, the walk-in clinics and hospital emergency departments certainly notice the marked increase in workload.

Many of the visits to the doctor are not needed or desirable. Most of these coughs and colds are self-limited illnesses, that just need a bit of time and rest. Moreover, no doctor can cure the common cold.

Consider before you go and seek medical advice for a miserable but mild illness,

Q

uestion of the week:

that, chances are, you will be exposed to a really mean virus while waiting for hours in a crowded waiting room full of sick people. Not a good idea.

If you are working from home, have no children and shop only once a week during off hours, you may be lucky to avoid any exposure all fall and winter.

If you have a healthy immune system, you may also escape most of the seasonal mild illnesses.

How do you get a healthy immune system?

It would be nice if we could choose our parents, but if you inherit a genetic weakness, then you will just have to endure a good many more illnesses than your neighbour who is endowed with all the right stuff to ward off the germs.

Secondly, you can vastly improve your immune system by getting the timeproven vaccinations against tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, polio. These vaccinations stimulate your immune system for many years, and when the life-threatening bacteria or virus wants to attack you, your body is ready to successfully fight off the illness.

Unfortunately, that is not true for the flu vaccine. That one only works for one season.

Of course, it is a no-brainer to protect your immune system by abstaining from smoking, eating junk food and any other unhealthy habits. I am always puzzled when I see people who, on one hand, eat and drink all the wrong stuff and are fully aware they do, and on the other, handspend small fortunes on questionable

Should Christy Clark resign as leader of the governing B.C. Liberal Party?

Yes: 30% – No: 70% (150 votes)

‘health products’ in the hope they will not suffer the consequences of their destructive lifestyle.

Then there is the question of vaccination providing short-term immunity against the flu.

The arguments against are often very emotional and irrational. Yet there are some legitimate unanswered questions.

The authorities make an educated guess what kind of flu viruses will be circulating each year. They missed the boat in 2009 by failing to include the killed H1N1 in the vaccine until much later and quite a few people died prematurely as a result of having no defense or inadequate defense.

Many more survived just fine or did not get ill at all.

The problem is predicting who belongs to which risk group.

If you are elderly, your skin, bones, muscles, lungs and circulation are all on the decline, and your immune system is no exception. That is why we encourage seniors to get their flu shot.

Then there are people with diabetes and, therefore, more prone to infections, and they too would be wise to get the flu vaccine.

Young children with an immature immune system are also at increased risk.

When the H1N1 hit the Inuit population in Nunavut, many of the ones less than two years old were very sick, some died and many ended up in the pediatric intensive care units in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec for weeks on respirators.

I was involved in too many of these and

The News/letters Tax petition alive and well in Pitt Meadows Editor, The News: Re: ‘How much more can we squeeze out?’ (Letters, Sept. 5).

I am writing this out of concern for the residents of Pitt Meadows who showed their support by signing our petition for a zero per cent tax increase for 2013, as a result of a recent letter to the editor.

Although I believe this was written with good intentions, I want the taxpayers to know that the petition is still alive and well and we are still receiving signatures as we speak.

This is not over.

online comments • Leigh-ann Baker · cashier at Thrifty Foods Maple Ridge: Re: Tired of deteriorating downtown (mapleridgenews.com).

I have to agree. Maple Ridge used to be a great place, but now there are more and more homeless and addicts on the street that now people don’t feel safe leaving their own homes. You used to be able to walk out after dark, but you can’t do that now unless you have a group of people, only because you don’t know what they are going to do. It’s time to clean up Ridge and go back to the quiet town that we all once knew. Instead of hearing of tons of fires in town and people being shot and killed here in town really makes a person think, ‘Do I really want to live here?’ I don’t even feel safe walking around town anymore. I always have someone with me and I have lived here my whole life.

• Deon van der Heever: Re: Tired of deteriorating downtown (mapleridgenews.com).

So let’s stand together and start the cleanup. Start a group, and I’ll show up to help. There are more of us than there are of them, remember that.

We can’t be held hostage in our own town. If the council doesn’t help, well, then I guess it’s up to us to change that too.

• Lisa Jones: Re: Target readies mall renovation plans (mapleridgenews.com).

They may hire more people, but it will be part-time. Anyone who works for Zellers will not get paid the same at all. Zellers employees have to apply like everyone else. Just picture working beside someone with no experience and you have years of experience and you make the same as them. One can’t live on part-time with minimum wage if you are on your own.

Target was smart by not taking on the Zellers employees, but it sure sucks for the employees who worked hard for the HBC company and remained faithful.

A mask may help some Health Care from p6

I was involved in too many of these and I have no hesitation at all to recommend the flu vaccine to at-risk people.

Then there is the dilemma of what to do about health care workers, doctors and nurses and care aides exposing vulnerable sick people to the flu if they themselves refuse to be vaccinated.

I think it is unethical and unprofessional to knowingly go to work with the flu and risk infecting the patients, realizing some of them may die as a result.

A mask may be of some help, but is vastly inferior to the effectiveness of the flu shot.

I get mine.

‘Regretting my move to Ridge’ Editor, The News: Re: Tired of deteriorating downtown (The News, Sept. 12).

I moved to Maple Ridge in May with the knowledge it is a municipality in transition, with some growing pains, and have come to realize, a serious drug problem.

The Ridge Meadows RCMP are now on speed dial.

On any given day, at any given time, a walk through Reg Franklin Park or by Eric Langton elementary reveals how serious the problem is.

I am witness to numerous drug deals and drug users getting high.

Groups of teens use the park to gather and do drugs in the open, choosing not to hide the reality.

I have learned you have to have nerves of steel to walk your dog through the ‘drug park’.

I could change the route I walk, but figure going left instead of right will just highlight that the problem is wide spread.

Purchasing a home in Maple Ridge was an investment that I am starting to regret.

My concern is that few homeowners are choosing Maple Ridge to reside in and the majority of buyers are renting their investment to drug dealers and sex trade workers.

It is frustrating that there doesn’t seem to be a solution to the problem

THE NEWS/files

Downtown business owners such as Alicja Wnorowski are also concerned about the deteriorating state of the area. or enough resources.

It is unfortunate that a municipality nestled between the Fraser River with the Golden Ears Mountain peaks, as a beautiful backdrop, has such an ugly secret to hide.

Now is the time for action, for a solution, for the RCMP and district council to step up and put their skills to use.

Don’t keep passing the buck.

Salvation Army does nothing but help people Editor, The News: Re: Tired of deteriorating downtown (The News, Sept. 12).

I have lived in Maple Ridge for some time now and I have to completely disagree with this woman in the article.

First off, this stuff happens in every city, town and municipality. No one really has any control over this.

I find it very difficult to believe that the Caring Place has any thing to do with these woman out there ‘working.’ I am sure that it is helping in any way it can to get these ladies help.

However, they have to want

to be helped.

And as far back as I can remember, people have been dropping off there garbage and large, unusable furniture at thrift stores, for as long as they have been in business, and it has to do with no one wanting to pay dump fees for this stuff or the inconvenience of having to drive to a dump.

For years and years I have been seeing stories and letters to the editors about how the Caring Place is horrible.

I would like to say that the Salvation Army has helped out people I know all over the world and they didn’t

have addiction problems.

They were just people who fell on bad times.

If we were to kick the Caring Place out of the city, could you imagine the chaos, so many people starving because you took away the meal program.

As I read somewhere, the Salvation Army serves 9,000 meals a month.

How many truly homeless people would be roaming the streets because they’d have no place to go without the Salvation Army.

Or what about the many families that the staff at the Caring Place help?

That is incredibly amazing to me and I send all the blessings and good wishes to the people who work there.

I see the difference they make in this neigbourhood and I would gladly tell someone in need to go there.

Instead of pointing fingers as to who to blame on the state of this municipality, I would encourage them to stop being ignorant and selfrighteous.

I am so tired of reading all of these assaults on the Caring Place. Please, smarten up already.

No excuses, need heavy fines for smelly pollution Editor, The News: Re: Stench sends folks into frenzy (The News, Sept. 12).

Call it raising a stink, local residents went into a frenzy as with other municipal taxpayers to justifiably complain about the repulsively offensive stench from a farm near the Pitt Meadows airport that was categorically, indefensible pollution, that bothered many to their personal discomfort for days.

The foul odour lingered and many Twittered or Facebooked or phoned to complain about the pollution.

Pitt Meadows city hall should monetarily penalize the farmer and Metro Vancouver, whose mandate is to investigate and lay charges and fines.

A mere written letter or warning

does not go far enough.

To merely dismiss it as poor judgment is lame as this reckless farmer knew the odour was far beyond normalcy.

Local residents closed their windows to stop the offensive smell penetrating their homes and many went inside instead of breathing those nauseous fumes that ruined outings.

Instead of just gouging us with taxes, city hall needs to have some backbone with proactive and reactive enforcement instead of sweeping it under the carpet.

We all pay taxes, and while this incident is uncommon, it could have been prevented with some brain power.

There must be a bylaw addressing such violations and governmental

regulations addressing pollution at a higher level that needs hefty fines as a deterrent.

In the end, no excuses.

Kerwin Maude Pitt Meadows

Get used to it Editor, The News: Re: Stench sends folks into frenzy (The News, Sept. 12).

This is an every-other-month recurrence on this side of the bridge in Maple Ridge.

I guess with all the new urban sprawl, great to see new home owners are not used to it.

Maple Ridge will look at its budget for next year and see if there’s any room to finance a war on invasive plants, with Japanese knotweed at the top of the hit list.

With money available, and depending on advice of a committee, the district could hire a consultant to do a map and inventory then hire a pesticide applicator to terminate the plants with direct injections of glyphosate, the only method of killing the invader.

But the public should keep in mind that Japanese knotweed isn’t the only nasty plant out there. And while knotweed can crumble concrete with its extensive root system it’s not dangerous to people like giant hogweed is, the sap from which can cause lasting burns or even blindness.

Parks and facilities director David Boag told council Monday that

THE nEws/files

Greta Borick-Cunningham and Doug Stanger of ARMS examine Japanese knotweed along Millionare Creek. while knotweed won’t hurt you like hogweed, “if it’s (knotweed) grown by the side of your house it has the potential to damage your foundation.”

But he downplayed comments from the Invasive Species Council of Metro Vancouver which said the weed can bore through metres of concrete.

Boag said he couldn’t find any examples of knotweed doing that.

But he also said injection with the herbicide glyphosate is the only way to kill the plants.

Digging up the roots is impossible and cutting it only spreads it more.

Each site may need to be treated for as long as four years, he added.

He also hinted that Maple Ridge may never be able to exterminate the invasive plant which originally sold in nurseries as an ornamental plant.

“I think it’s here. We’re never going to get rid of it.”

So far, at this point, knotweed is not spread aerially, although possible cross breeding could see that happening. The plant is a favorite of honey bees when the flowers bloom in late summer.

While work is underway along the provincial Lougheed Highway to kill the plants, Maple Ridge is responsible for removing the plant from its roadsides, while a bylaw change may be needed to require private

property owners have to remove it from theirs.

He told council that hiring a qualified pesticide applicator is the only choice for homeowners, and warned council about hiring its own contractor because the word is out that municipalities could be spending lots of money on the issue.

Staff also will prepare material to inform the public about weeds and the best way to deal with them.

Municipal bylaws against using cosmetic pesticides are superseded by the B.C. Weed Control Act. Coun. Al Hogarth said he’s more concerned about the spread of blackberries but Coun.

Cheryl Ashlie said the Japanese knotweed is far more serious.

“This has the potential to have an economic impact.”

She said Maple Ridge should learn from the U.K. where the plant has spread with economic consequences.

“We should get in front of this before it is an economic factor and people are being impacted by it.”

Renovations to day use area of Golden Ears Provincial Park New picnic tables, water system, playground for South Beach area

by Ro b er t M a n g e ls d or f staff reporter

B.C.’s busiest provincial park is getting a facelift.

Golden Ears Provincial Park’s South Beach day-use area is being renovated to create more wideopen areas suitable for picnicking, with new picnic tables, water system, and a new playground for the Alouette Lake campground.

In summer months, the park’s day-use area routinely sees more than 5,000 visitors on a sunny day.

“It’s a fairly large project,” said park manager Stu Burgess of the renovation. “When it’s finished, there will be a lot more wide open space for people to picnic.”

The redevelopment of the South Beach day use area will feature terraced landscaping, and the removal of a number of trees to create an open lawn area.

In all, the park will see the replacement of 100 picnic tables, as well as new concrete pads and trail paving.

According to the Ministry of Environment, the total capital cost for the project is $200,000. Of that, $30,000 will go towards tree removal, $40,000 for new picnic tables and playground, $60,000 for landscaping, and $45,000 for water system improvements, as well as $24,000 for other costs.

The project got underway earlier this month and is scheduled for completion on Nov. 15.

During construction, the South Beach day-use area and parking lot No. 2 will be closed. The northern portion of the day-use area, directly below parking lot No. 1, will remain open with some picnic tables

and pit toilets available.

Golden Ears is the busiest provincial park in B.C., and with 409 campsites spread over three campgrounds, also has the largest campground complex in the province.

“When it’s finished, there will be a lot more wide open space for people to picnic.”

Stu Burgess, park manager While the park covers more than 62,000 hectares stretching north all the way to where it borders Garibaldi Provincial Park, 30 kilometres east of Squamish, the vast majority of visitors only venture as far as southern end of Alouette Lake.

Housekeeping for Homeowners.

Like most British Columbians, your home is likely your most precious investment, but keeping it protected with simple home maintenance often falls behind a busy lifestyle and other priorities. Yet basic home maintenance does not require a lot of specialized skills or know-how, is very cost effective and an excellent approach to protection against an unexpected crisis and costs.

Here we share some important tips to keep your home and family safe.

• Prevent the possibility of a fire hazard by keeping the dryer vent clean. Clean the lint filter every time you run your dryer and once a year slide the vent out and remove any lint build up.

• Run an energy efficient furnace by replacing filters at least every three months, especially for proper operation over winter. Dirty filters block airflow, lowering air quality and making it potentially dangerous to your family’s health. They also cause furnaces to work overtime, increasing energy bills and eventually to overheat, burn out and be replaced.

• Prevent mold by monitoring your home for condensation.

Too much moisture indoors eventually poses a health risk, and left untreated will rot woodwork. Examine your windows, checking for cracks or breaks in the seals that can easily be fixed.

HOME INSURANCE WITH

ZlATA STUMP

• Guard against water damage by looking for signs of dripping and corrosion on exposed pipes around toilets, sinks and appliances. Leaking fixtures can often be fixed with simple replacement parts like O-rings, cartridges or flappers for leaky toilets.

Leaks are easy to miss, but early repair avoids costly water damage.

• Make sure your gutters are clean and water run-off is unobstructed. At least once a year physically remove debris and build-up from your gutters and ensure your downpipes are clear. Blocked gutters and pipes can force water to back up and soak into the roof, walls, and even the foundation.

Basic upkeep of your home protects your investment and safeguards your family. And it’s easy enough to do yourself with an idea of what to look for and why.

Vandalism costs in school district down in 2011/12

by Ro b er t M a n g e ls d or f staff reporter

Vandalism costs were down in School District No. 42 for the fifth

straight year in 2011/12.

The district spent $377,361 this past school year to combat, and clean up after, vandals targeting school property around the

district, close to $44,000 than the previous year.

Vandalism costs hit high in 2007/08 at $503,623, and have steadily declined every year since.

The school district spent more than $30,000 to replace broken windows last year, as well as $148,391 on operations and maintenance costs. The district paid $193,813 on security services, as well as $1,900 to the District of Maple Ridge and City of Pitt Meadows in false alarm charges.

In all, 705 incidents of vandalism were reported on school property

last school year, down from 1,248 in 2007/08.

The downward trend appears to be continuing this school year.

This past July and August saw the lowest number of incidents for either of those months since the district began keeping records in 2005, with 31 and 45, respectively.

While some of the downward trend can be attributed to fall-

ing student enrollment across the district, outgoing secretary Wayne Jefferson says the district’s efforts to “harden” schools appears to be working.

The district has installed roller shutters on windows, increased lighting, fenced off undercover areas, and that has proven effective.

The district has also resorted to high-tech solutions, such as motion-

SD42 gets new secretary treasurer

by Rober t M angel sdor f staff reporter

The Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows School District has a new No. 2.

Flavia Couglan has replaced Wayne Jefferson at the local school district’s secretary treasurer, the second-most senior staff position in the district.

The secretary treasurer is the second-most senior staff position in the district, and is responsible for the district’s finances and budget, among other duties.

Couglan immigrated to Canada from Romania 11 years ago, and has spent the past nine years working in education, most recently as the Vancouver School

Board’s director of finance.

“This is a very innovative school district,” she said of her decision to come to School District No. 42. “This district’s mission is closely aligned with my own personal values: to give every student the opportunity to achieve their dreams, whatever they may be.”

Superintendent Jan Unwin said Couglan brings a wealth of experience and expertise to her new role. “[She has] enormous experience in the K-12 public school sector, plus she had the attributes that we value when building our senior leadership team,” she said. “She is skilled and knowledgeable in

the area of finance, and committed and passionate about her work.”

Unwin added Couglan is involved in the Ministry Technical Review Committee, the Accounting Advisory Committee, and the BC Associate of School Business Officials.

Couglan was welcomed to the school district by the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Board of Education at its public meeting Wednesday, with a stirring rendition of Happy Birthday, sung by the trustees.

Couglan replaces Jefferson, who has served as secretary treasurer for the past three years.

Jefferson, a former Surrey school board trustee, was hired on as an

interim secretary treasurer in May of 2009 after then-secretary treasurer Don Woytowich stepped down due to health concerns. In Feb. 2010, Jefferson was hired on permanently.

“It’s been a joy and a learning experience,” said Jefferson of his tenure as secretary treasurer.

Trustee Ken Clarkson, who was board chair for much of Jefferson’s tenure, said Jefferson helped oversee many positive changes in the district.

Jefferson said will stay on for the next month to help Couglan with the transition to her new role.

Jefferson said he will continue to serve as the chair of the B.C. Pension Corporation, a position he has held since April 2011.

Elementary enrolment drops Elementary school enrollment is down across the school district this school year, leaving staff scratching their heads as to where the students have gone.

While kindergarten projections were nearly dead on for incoming students at the start of this school year, the district has seen an unexpected drop in students between elementary grades, superintendent Jan Unwin told the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Board of Education at their meeting Wednesday night.

In all a total of 73 students in Grades 1 to 7 left the district since the end of last school year.

Edith McDermott Elementary School in Pitt Meadows saw the biggest drop in students, with 16 fewer kids between Grades 1 and 7, while Blue Mountain saw a drop of 10.

s Shakeel Gaya prepared to celebrate Eid-ulFitr this year, a verse from the Qur’an stood out from the others.

The words of the Prophet Muhammad from Surah An-Nisa’ that speak of the link between all mankind spoke to him.

Black or white, Christian, Muslim, Jew or Hindu, are all one.

“Don’t judge each other on half-truth or a lack of knowledge,” says Gaya, with the Islamic Society of Ridge Meadows.

This week, the prophet’s words could not be more poignant.

Protests over an American film ridiculing the Prophet Muhammad spread to a number of countries in the Muslim world on Thursday, including Yemen, Egypt and Iran.

They follow Tuesday night’s attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, where the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed.

As flags burn and violence flashes on televisions screen, Gaya proposes a solution.

“We have to reach out to the community,” he says.

Bringing people together contributes to an understand between community rather than suspicion, he adds.

Eid fell on Aug. 19 this year, and marks the end of Ramadan, a month-long period of abstinence for Muslims.

Ramadan is a time for spiritual purification achieved through fasting, self-sacrifice and prayers, similar to the Christian tradition of Lent that pre# Easter. cedes Eid-ul-Fitr, which literally means the feast of fast breaking, is a time to give charity to those in need, and celebrate with family and friends. It is also a time for truces, when warring nations and tribes have traditionally laid down arms, delivering a month of peace.

Gaya and the Islamic Society of Ridge Meadows says it only fitting to share the celebration of Eid, albeit a few weeks later, with the wider community in a feast planned at the Maple Ridge library on Saturday.

The event will draw together many Muslims who live in Maple Ridge but hail from every corner of the world - Pakistan, India, Turkey, Syria, Yemen, Morocco, Singapore, Malaysian, Sri Lanka, Kosovo and Russia.

The celebrations has been held in Maple Ridge for the past four years.

Turn in transponders Tolls from front

By registering before Nov. 30, motorists will pay only $1.50 per crossing of the Port Mann Bridge for the entire year, plus get $30 credit that’s good for 20 crossings for passenger vehicles.

If they don’t want the $30, motorists still have until Feb. 28 to register and get their free decal and get the $1.50 rate for the entire year, half the ongoing rate of $3 per crossing.

Drivers who don’t register before March will pay the full tolls ($3 for standard vehicles), which are set to kick in for all users in December of 2013.

Once motorists have their decals, they can turn in their transponders to the Quickpass office on 12167 Harris Rd. in Pitt Meadows and have their $10 deposit returned.

The bills that will arrive in the mail will show which bridge you used and when. Under the TReO system, tolls will be deducted automatically from motorists’ bank accounts or credit cards, speeding up the payment system.

Don’t expect any break on the Golden Ears Bridge, however. The tolls ($2.95 with a transponder, $4.20 without) will stay as they are.

“It wouldn’t make any economic sense,” to change the Golden Ears Bridge tolls, TransLink spokesman Drew Snider said Thursday.

He pointed out that Golden Ears Bridge traffic has increased, after lagging behind projections the first three years, following its opening in July 2009.

Golden Ears was also free for the first month, he added.

“We’ve seen a constant increase in traffic over the bridge. This year’s usage is up more than 11 per cent from last year’s – and revenue is up by $1.6 million, so it’s ahead of the budget forecast for this year,” Snider said.

He attributed that increase to an ad campaign that TransLink’s run since January, pointing out to commuters that’s it cheaper to pay the toll rather than drive around.

“The [Golden Ears] bridge wouldn’t be there without those tolls,” added Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton, predicting that the new Port Mann will save motorists an hour a day in travel time.

He also said Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows residents will benefit from the entire reconstruction project along Hwy. 1 from Langley to Vancouver.

During the first week after the official opening in December, the Port Mann Bridge will be free for everyone, Transportation Minister Mary Polak announced Thursday. She was at a ceremony recognizing the 10-lane bridge as the widest in the world at 65 metres, earning it a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The $3.3-billion infrastructure project is the largest in B.C. history.

NDP transportation critic Harry Bains, who favoured lowering or eliminating the tolls in the first year since motorists wouldn’t yet have access to the whole bridge, nevertheless called it a “desperate attempt” by the government to shore up votes ahead of the provincial election.

Much to celebrate at GETI Fest H

UB members are excited to invite you for our Historical Hammond Village Discovery Bike Ride on Saturday Sept. 15.

Ian McLeod, a local resident and blogger on land use, transportation and civic issues in the Lower Mainland, has an interest in exploring urban villages and has agreed to lead this ride.

McLeod, along with Jennifer Zickerman, – another blogger and member of the Hammond Neighbourhood Group – have been digging into the history of Hammond and its residents and have found lots of fascinating facts and stories.

This is promising to be an interesting ride with lots of history about this part of Maple Ridge.

The ride will start from Memorial Peace Park at 10 a.m., with stops at Ridge Meadows College on Thorne Avenue a coffee break at Osprey Village in Pitt Meadows.

A group of Hammond neighbours is expected to join us for the last bit of our ride, near Wharf Street.

Once in Hammond, McLeod will give us a tour of Hammond of about an hour or so.

We will end our ride in Hammond after the tour. This ride will be about 13 kilometres one way.

Please note that our Discovery Bike Rides are officially unguided.

This means that you’re welcome to meet us at the suggested times and to ride along with us, but you do so fully at your own risk. We choose quiet routes, where possible. Those who are not comfortable riding on River Road

by Ridge Meadows Hospital can ride on the sidewalk.

In case we need to cancel the ride due to rain (not drizzle), it’ll be posted on our blog rmcyclist.info on Friday, Sept. 14, by 8 p.m. Hope to see you on Saturday.

The Golden Ears Transition Initiative (GETI) is getting ready for its second GETI Fest on Sept. 22. GETI Fest is a celebration of positive local action in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to deal with global issues such as climate change,

economic instability, and depletion of natural resources. The event will last from 10 a.m. till 3 p.m.

This time the Girl Guides are joining in the event, to include a celebration of the Day of the Girl (the actual day falls on Oct. 11).

Various action groups of GETI will have Cycling Jackie Chow displays and fun activities at the event.

There will be artisans, food, music, and lots of interesting people to talk to and learn more about what we can do to prepare for a less fossil-fuel dependent and more sustainable future.

You can do your bit to make GETI Fest more sustainable by taking your bike, walking, or taking transit instead of driving. We’d love to see lots of people on bikes for the People-in-Motion Parade at 11 a.m., but of course anything propelled by something other than fossil fuel is great.

do to help reduce waste: take a reusable water bottle, coffee mug and plate with you in a reusable cloth bag or backpack.

As to recycling: if you have anything lying around that we can use to decorate bikes, please let me know.

HUB will again be there with a bike decorating station (10-11 a.m.) and a fun bike rodeo (12-2 p.m.) – we’ll have a few kids’ bikes available for the bike rodeo for those who are not able to bring their own. We’ll offer secure bike parking in the gated play ground area by the Leisure Centre for the duration of the event.

Thanks to the great success of our Cycle Recycle (or free bike give-away) at Earth Day – we’ve decided to do another one for GETI Fest. Approximate times for the two draws: 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.

GETI Fest is only possible thanks to the help of many volunteers.

I would like to add that, as a cycling advocate, I’m really thrilled that we’re celebrating the Day of the Girl at GETI Fest.

What does cycling have to do with women’s rights, you may ask?

Cycling has played an integral role in the emancipation of women.

In the late 19th/early 20th century, especially, the bicycle proved instrumental in helping women to become more independent and gain more freedom.

Today, particularly in North America, there is still lots of potential for the lowly bicycle to rise to the challenge when it comes to helping women achieve their goals.

Presently, most cyclists on our continent consist of men (only 25 per cent of cyclists are female).

With improved and safer cycling infrastructure, more women could start cycling. In the Netherlands, for example, this has led to women leading the cycling pack with about 55 per cent of all cyclists being women!

Laws lead to enriching life S

ome in our world push against the laws of our land because they limit our freedoms.

Without them, we would face anarchy, destroying our peace, security and many of the values of society that we enjoy.

Laws give us parameters within to experience life.

There are many laws that we are glad for and follow with an Acts of Faith act of faith each day.

One law is that we stay to the Greg Dalman right side of yellow lines on our streets as we drive. Aren’t you glad that every car you meet adheres to this law instead of striking out on their own to have full freedom on the streets?

There are other laws in our country – such as do not kill, do not steal, do not lie – that allow us, for the most part, to sleep at night. These laws are at least good ideas, which found their beginnings in God’s Word.

People feel the teachings of God or His ‘laws’ are just a bunch of do’s and don’ts that would limit our freedoms. The more we trust them and live by them the more we see they actually are at least good ideas, but lead to enriching life for all who follow them.

“Oh how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. Your commands make me wiser than my enemies for they are ever with me. I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes.

I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts.” (Psalm 119:97-100.)

There is much to gain by putting faith in God’s Word. Many reject them, desiring increased freedom, but do not realize that outside of them leads to lives of anarchy and pain.

What if we had a law that allowed everyone to have one day in the week off to rest and not work, to do whatever they wanted. The same day to finally connect with family or friends, which our work schedules often do not allow us to do. What if everyone was content with what they had and not jealous of the good things others enjoy. What if everything people said was the truth, to be fully trusted and no one would deceive or mislead anyone. Wouldn’t this give us confidence in relationships?

To follow God’s teachings in the Bible are at least good ideas, but the world calls it foolishness. By your own act of faith give God a chance and trust His Word. His “laws” are designed not to limit life but to give us contexts in which to find life to its fullest.

Greg Dalman is lead pastor at Maple Ridge Alliance Church.

Animal lovers of all ages converged on the Albion Fairgrounds Sunday to raise money and awareness to improve animal welfare in the province.

Around 109 dogs and their owners and animal lovers of all sorts took part in the annual Scotiabank and BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk.

Almost $13,000 was raised at the event with money still coming in.

Mark Vosper, manager of the Maple Ridge branch of the SPCA, was pleased with the event’s success, but emphasized that donations are still welcome.

“It was a really good day actually compared to last year, when we had the severe heat,” said Vosper. “We had more people actually on the field after the walk.”

However, more funds will be needed to match or exceed last year’s total.

Top fundraiser this year was Roxanne Jones, who raised $1,060. Top youth fundraiser was Cassidy Penney, who raised $475. Top fundraising team was Happy Tails Training, which raised $680.

Thirty-five volunteers helped make the day a success by helping out in the raffle, selling baked goods and organizing the dog competitions like the fastest bowl licker, the dog with the waggiest tail, and the dog most like its owner.

New pipeline to feed LNG exports

by To m Fletch e r Black Press

Two months after opening its newest natural gas processing plant near Dawson Creek, Spectra Energy has announced a partnership that will more than double its B.C. capacity with a largescale pipeline to Prince Rupert.

Texas-based Spectra and British Gas (BG) Group announced Monday a development agreement to construct an 850-km large-diameter pipeline connecting its hub of operations near Fort St. John with proposed liquefied

natural gas facilities near Prince Rupert.

The pipeline would connect vast shale gas resources in the Montney formation near Fort St. John and the Liard, Horn River and Cordova Embayment shales near Fort Nelson. Its capacity of 4.2 million cubic feet per day compares to Spectra’s existing gas handling capacity of 2.4 million cubic feet per day.

BG Group has optioned an 80-hectare site in the Ridley industrial area owned by the Prince Rupert Port Authority for a possible liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility. Operating gas production facilities in 20 countries, BG is currently building a new

New police watchdog ready

by To m Fletch e r Black Press

B.C.’s new police oversight office is officially in operation, ready to take over investigations of incidents involving police that result in serious injury or death.

Former U.S. prosecutor Richard Rosenthal was hired last year for the new office, after establishing similar services in Denver and Portland.

Rosenthal told a news conference Monday he has hired 30 of 36 investigators, divided into four teams, who are now on call to oversee investigation of any major incident involving police in the province. About half of those investigators are former police, none of whom previously worked in B.C. Rosenthal and Justice Minister Shirley Bond said police experience is required, because the teams will need to secure crime scenes, interview police and other witnesses, and investigate incidents involving off-duty police officers, including homicides.

B.C.’s Independent Investigations Office (IIO) is the fourth of its kind in Canada, and has the largest civilian presence of any in the world, Rosenthal said.

The B.C. government committed to a civilianled agency after a string of incidents involving RCMP and city police forces. The office was rec-

ommended by inquiries into the 2007 death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver airport, and Frank Paul, who was removed from the Vancouver Police drunk tank in 1998 and left unconscious in an alley.

The 2005 gunshot death of Ian Bush at the RCMP detachment in Houston, B.C. was another case that pushed the B.C. government to end the practice of police incidents being investigated by other police forces. The independent office will also bring B.C. RCMP officers under civilian oversight.

Bond said B.C. police agencies asked for independent oversight after police-led investigations in the Paul and Dziekanski cases eroded public support.

Rosenthal said he intends to make reports public, whether or not the IIO recommends charges against police officers. Final decisions on charges are made by a Crown prosecutor, as with any other B.C. criminal case.

The IIO expects to deal with about 100 cases involving death or serious injury in an average year.

The office has a budget of about $10 million a year, working out of headquarters in Surrey.

The existing B.C. Police Complaints Commissioner is continuing to handle public complaints against police forces in the province.

The joint announcement, the companies said “early conceptual routes” have been developed, with consultation planned for affected routes. The project timeline is to begin construction by 2015 and complete the pipeline by 2020.

Premier Christy Clark and Energy Minister Rich Coleman attended opening ceremonies in July for Spectra’s new Dawson Processing Plant. Doug Bloom, president of Spectra Energy Transmission West, said at that time the company was near completion of its $1.5 billion B.C. investment program, with another $4-6 billion to be invested after 2015.

Taking on the green machine Coffee shop competes with coffee shop

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

W

hat do you if you’re a little guy, you own a coffee shop and you’re taking on the grande Goliath called Starbucks?

You dig in and compete and hang on and use your brains so you survive, that’s what you do.

Dan Liu’s been doing that for the past year, and the previous owner, his friend for the two and half years before that, in the Bagels and More Cafe located centimetres from the Starbucks outlet at Valley Fair Mall.

When sleepy, caffeine-deprived commuters line up for their morning tall dark roasts or grande lattes, Liu is serving his morning coffee – along with bagels, fresh sandwiches and wraps.

“Without those three points I mentioned, we’d be dead already.”

Dan Liu, Bagels and More Cafe Bagels and More is located right next to Starbucks, basically an arm’s length away.

While the big Seattle chain puts out its out-

Phil Melnychuk/the news

Dan Liu’s Bagels and More Cafe is next door to a big chain that dominates the coffee business. doors chairs, tables and green umbrellas, Bagels and More puts out its chairs, tables and orange umbrellas.

While coffee lovers sit back and enjoy a chat in the morning sun at Starbucks, coffee lovers at Bagels and More do the same.

“We are local, they are international, very hard to compete,” Liu says.

The costs of supplies for the big chain are cheap, he says.

Liu attributes his survival to three reasons.

He and his wife both work long hours in the cafe, which helps to cut labour costs. He has only three part-time employees.

Second, he’s careful to ensure there’s no waste.

Third, he chooses his suppliers carefully.

He points out he’s able to save 25 per cent on a box of whole wheat wraps when he buys directly from the manufacturer in Burnaby rather than from a food distributor.

“Without those three points I mentioned,

we’d be dead already.”

So why do people come to Bagels and More and not the big guy’s place next door?

“We’re different, because basically they sell coffee. If you have lunch, you come here.

They don’t have lunch.”

Liu’s coffee is also a regular blend rather than the strong stuff that Starbucks serves its caffeine addicts.

“Their coffee’s different.”

Bagels and More’s menu includes fresh sandwiches, wraps and

Tomorrow could be

won ton soup. The various of flavours of cream cheese that go on the bagels are also prepared on site, he says.

“We treat every customer like our relative, our friend,” adds Liu’s wife, Lee Zou. But it’s not easy staying alive, says Liu, who came from Tianjin, China about 20 years ago.

“This year’s even harder, compared to last year,” he says during a lull after the lunch-time rush.

He can feel the slow-

ing economy, he adds.

But next year could be better. The hated HST will be repealed in March.

That really hurt when it was brought in July 2010, says Liu, so he’s expecting some relief when the provincial sales tax returns and shoppers no longer have to pay seven per cent on lunch bills.

The opening of the Maple Ridge community gaming centre across Lougheed Highway in the next year could also make it busier, he adds.

awesome!

Guide to make autumn planters easy I

f you’re like me, you are tired of looking at those scraggly flowers laying half-dead in the pots by the front door – so maybe it’s time to admit that summer is finally over and start getting Gardening Mike Lascelle into autumn mode. I’ve come up with an easy four-step fall planter conversion guide to help you consider all of your cool-season options.

1. Start in the middle – choosing the tallest feature in the arrangement is the best place to start, and when doing so, you should also consider the often overcast skies and the colour of surrounding buildings.

Plants with gold foliage such as Taxus baccata ‘Fastigiata Aurea’ (Golden Irish Yew) and Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Fernspray Gold’ keep things bright and cheerful, while the compact Heavenly Bamboos (‘Moon Bay’, ‘Firepower’, ‘Gulf Stream’) do a dramatic colour shift from lime green to reddish-purple as the weather cools.

There are also many evergreen sedges, but Carex testacea is probably the best of the them as it morphs from green to a delightful pumpkin orange in autumn.

Mike Lascelle photos

Learn more about creating an autumn planter at a free seminar, Saturday, 10 a.m. at Amsterdam Garden Centre.

Some other good evergreen grasses include ‘Ice Dance’, Carex buchananii (reddish-brown) and ‘Cappuccino’, which lives up to its name with fine creamy-brown foliage. For those of you in need of a thin columnar form, try the Japanese Holly Ilex crenata ‘Fastigiata’.

2. Add some trailers – I always like to add the trailers next, as it makes it easier to define the size of the plants to be used in between.

Golden Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia ‘Goldilocks’) and

COUPON

various forms of variegated English Ivy will provide some much needed colour contrast, while the airy wire vine (Muehlenbeckia) blends in nicely without completely covering adjacent plants.

If you are only viewing your planters from one side, you can either place your trailers one on each side towards the back or use a solitary plant in the center.

Containers viewed from multiple sides should have at least three trailers spilling over the edge, spaced

equally apart.

3. Flesh it out with fillers – these are only filler plants in the sense that they fill the gap between the trailers and centerpieces. Dwarf shrubs, evergreen perennials and grasses work best here with the brightly berried Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) and Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) being two of my favourites.

Multi-coloured heuchera are always a good choice, as is Carex ‘Evergold’ with its graceful arching Kathy says: “The most popular bulbs go fast, so get here even faster!.”

habit. Some of the variegated Euphorbia such as ‘Tasmanian Tiger’ and ‘Glacier Blue’ help to brighten any arrangement, while ‘Blackbird’ is the perfect contrast for those chartreuse tones.

4. Punctuate with colour – seasonal flowers suitable for autumn planters include winter pansies (Viola x wittrockiana), the smaller flowered violas, ornamental cabbage, Dusty Miller (for the silver foliage), fall asters and chrysanthemums.

The latter two are gorgeous in bloom but they will only last three to four weeks on average, while the pansies and violas will flower during mild periods, right through to spring.

Mini-cyclamen are also longblooming and tolerate cool weather, but these will need to be kept under cover as the rain spoils the flowers.

Another great option are the Calluna vulgaris Bud Bloomers, which are a class of Scotch Heather that generally begin showing colour in September with flower buds that do not open, so the display generally lasts for two to three months.

Finding an oasis of calm in South Surrey

Live naturally at Wills Creek Take advantage of a natural lifestyle at Wills Creek, by EMAAR Canada.

EMAAR is currently selling the seventh and eighth phases of Wills Creek. Eight units were sold last week, demonstrating the popularity of these amazing homes.

With features like custom-designed Shaker-style cabinetry complemented by a handset textured natural stone backsplash and polished granite countertops in the kitchen, there are plenty of things to love at Wills Creek.

The townhomes range from 2,400 to 4,400 square feet, so there is no shortage of space. Many homes include 10-foot vaulted ceilings on the main level, and

tons of natural light pours through the large windows. The ensuite bathroom is gorgeous, with an oversized soaker tub with a marble deck (perfect for holding your glass of wine), a frameless glass walk-in shower with a rain shower head and a handset imported glass tile tub and shower surround.

Buyers will be able to take advantage of all the amenities of Morgan Creek, including schools and shopping. There is also an amenity centre that includes a fitness centre, multi-purpose room, outdoor swimming pool and a hot tub.

Homes start at $539,900. For more information, visit www.willscreek.ca or call 604-542-8971.

glass walk-in shower with modern tile surrounds and accents (depending on your chosen floorplan) are perfect for relaxing in after a long day.

Though fall is now on its way, the air-conditioning that comes standard in every home is also a popular feature, Kwok says. Buyers are able to take possession of their new home immediately, so there will be no waiting for construction to finish.

Atrium is part of the Pier masterplanned community, which includes the Pinnacle International hotel. The area is a former shipyard that now holds a seawalk, 700-foot pier and heritage buildings. Restaurants, transit, leisure activities and shopping at the Lonsdale Quay Market are all in close proximity, making The Pier a great

place for homebuyers looking to be connected to everything. Downtown Vancouver is just 15 minutes away via SeaBus, so the annoyances of a long commute can easily be washed away.

“After coming home from work ... this is a totally different world, because it has the (serenity) of a resort,” says Kwok.

Owners at Atrium will also have access to the amenities at the Pinnacle Hotel, including an 80-foot pool, fitness centre with a yoga studio and the hotel concierge services. The hotel also houses 8,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space.

One-bedroom homes start at $399,900 and two-bedroom homes at $649,900. For more information, visit www.thepier.info or call 604-983-9065.

‘This is a totally different world’

Atrium at Pinnacle Pier showcases quiet elegance

by Kerry Vital

If it’s modern waterfront living you’re yearning for, you need look no farther than Atrium at Pinnacle Pier, located on Vancouver’s North Shore in the Lower Lonsdale area.

“It’s one of the very few waterfront communities on the North Shore” says Grace Kwok of Anson Realty Ltd. “They are buying into a master-planned waterfront community.”

Ranging from 654 to over 3,000 square feet, the homes at Atrium at Pinnacle Pier are spacious and open, with a custom-designed electric fireplace with granite mantle and designer carpeting. The kitchens include chic granite countertops and a porcelain tile floor, complemented

by designer cabinetry and Bosch appliances. The recessed pot lighting and pendant lighting over the breakfast bar combine to illuminate your tasks without being harsh, while the Kohler faucet in the dual stainless-steel undermount sink make cleanup easy.

The nine-foot ceilings and welldesigned floorplans have proven particularly popular, Kwok says. The elegant bathrooms with their own recessed pot lighting and designer cabinetry and vanities with a granite or marble countertop are chic and clean, while the luxurious soaker tub or

Half-price Port Mann Bridge tolls unveiled $1,50 for the first year only

by Jef f Nage l Black Press

Drivers crossing the new Port Mann Bridge will pay $1.50 a trip – half the price previously announced – as an introductory toll, and the provincial government is dangling more incentives to encourage users to sign up early.

The cut rate applies for the first three months – until the end of February – but those who register for a tolling account by then will be guaranteed the half-price toll for the first year, Transportation Minister Mary Polak announced Wednesday.

And those who sign up

by Nov. 30 also get a $30 credit, equivalent to 20 free crossings.

A further 25-per-cent discount previously promised for registered HOV users during peak hours will apply on top of the introductory rate, meaning commuters who car pool will pay

$1.13 per crossing for the first year.

Frequent bridge users can also opt for an unlimited pass – $75 per month in the first year for standard vehicles that register by Feb. 28, 2013.

The introductory discount is being justified on the basis that only eight of 10 lanes of the new bridge will be operational when it opens in December, as the final two can’t be used through 2013 while the old bridge is being dismantled.

“The tolling framework recognizes the need for the new bridge to be affordable for families,” Polak said.

Drivers who register will receive a free windshield decal that acts as a transponder that’s detected by the electronic tolling system.

Provincial officials say registered accounts set up for automatic monthly payment result in a more efficient tolling system and reduce the number of invoices that have to be mailed to nonregistered users who are detected by licence plate cameras.

NDP leads Liberals by 21 per cent: poll

by To m Fletch e r Black Press

The NDP and B.C. Liberals pitched what they hope are popular new policies Wednesday, as a new poll showed the B.C. NDP still has a commanding lead.

In the latest of a series of Angus Reid Public Opinion polls, the NDP led with 46 per cent intending to vote for them, down three per cent since January.

That three per cent swung to the B.C. Liberals, bringing them back to 25 per cent support from historic lows.

The B.C. Conservatives held steady at 19 per cent, and the B.C. Green Party received eight per cent support, down one from January’s survey.

Transportation Minister Mary Polak announced Wednesday that tolls on the new Port Mann bridge will begin at $1.50 when the bridge opens in December.

Preliminary estimates had the toll at $3 per crossing, and the B.C. Liberal government signalled in August it would offer a reduction for the first year of operation, while the bridge

is functioning with eight of 10 lanes.

Polak denied that the one-year discount was designed to take the sting out of tolling a major crossing for Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, six months before an election. She said the discount is to encourage people to register and take advantage of the discount for an entire year.

Also Wednesday, NDP leader Adrian Dix and agriculture critic Lana Popham called for new measures to assist the craft distillery industry in B.C. Dix called for the Liquor Distribution Branch markup to be reduced from 170 per cent to 129 per cent for “artisan” distilleries, defined as producing less than 50,000 litres a year using at least 50 per cent local agriculture products.

B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins has been diverted from policy matters by preparations for the party’s annual general meeting Sept. 22 in Langley. He has rallied a group of regional party officials in an effort to vote down a leadership review as the party prepares for the May 2013 election.

Construction on parts of the Highway 1 corridor will also continue next year, as will work on the South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR).

The northeast section of the SFPR in Surrey will open by December, carrying motorists who don’t want to pay tolls on the Port Mann Bridge to the free Pattullo Bridge.

Construction on the rest of the perimeter road will continue until late 2013, when it will also open up a free alternate route to the Alex Fraser Bridge and Massey Tunnel.

Heavy trucks won’t get

any introductory break on the previously announced $9 tolls for the Port Mann, but they will pay half price if they cross at night between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.

Lighter trucks or cars pulling trailers will pay $4.50 in the introductory period, instead of $6, and they’ll be offered a $225 unlimited monthly pass.

Motorcyclists will pay $1 at first instead of $1.50 and have the option of a $50 monthly pass.

Drivers who don’t register before March will pay the full tolls ($3 for standard vehicles), which

are set to kick in for all users in December, 2013.

Unregistered drivers who don’t pre-pay or pay within seven days of crossing will be invoiced and charged a $2.30 processing fee, which will be waived for the first three months.

The electronic tolling system is to operate seamlessly with the one on TransLink’s Golden Ears Bridge.

The province says the new bridge will chop commute times in half and save commuters up to an hour a day.

The $3.3-billion infra-

structure project is the largest in B.C. history.

NDP transportation critic Harry Bains, who favoured lowering or eliminating the tolls in the first year since motorists wouldn’t yet have access to the whole bridge, nevertheless called it a “desperate attempt” by the government to shore up votes ahead of the May provincial election.

Tolls are required by law to cover the entire $3.3-billion cost of the Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement project over its 40-year contract – including construction,

operation and maintenance by the private partners and the financing costs of the provincial government.

Public unrest about tolls have led some drivers to vow to boycott the new span.

Some mayors – including Surrey’s Dianne Watts – have pressed the province to consider “fair tolling” reforms that would apply lower tolls at more bridges around the region, or else move to road pricing.

Drivers will be using part of the new bridge this month – three lanes will open eastbound starting Sept. 18 – due to the phased completion of construction of new interchanges.

Flames fall to Kodiaks in season opener

by Ro b er t M a n g e ls d or f staff reporter

The Ridge Meadows Flames saw their first action of the 2012/13 Pacific Junior Hockey League season Wednesday night in Aldergrove, losing 3-1 to the hometown Kodiaks.

Given the Flames lost 9-2 to Kodiaks in their first meeting last season, head coach Jamie Fiset sees a big improvement over the team that started last season.

“I’m happy with our performance, an I saw a lot of positives to build off,” he said. “The goals they got were from mistakes that we made, mistakes that are easily remedied.”

While Flames’ starting

goalie Wesley McLeod gets tagged with the loss, his efforts between the pipes was commendable, with 50 saves to his credit.

Fiset would have preferred to have generated more opportunities at the other end of the rink, instead of being outshot 53-30.

“We’re not the kind of team that throws a lot of shots away, but we have to find the back of the net more often,” he said.

The Flames were outshot 21-10 in the first period, but managed to make it to the dressing room with the game still scoreless.

“Our rookies had some jitters in the first period, but they settled down by the second [period],” Fiset said.

“It was the first real game for

them at this level, I thought they did well.”

The Kodiaks opened the scoring in the second period with a shorthanded goal from Stephen Ryan, who scored unassisted. The Flames were able to make their next power ply count, however, as Darcy Rai was given five minutes and a game misconduct for a slash to Flames defenceman Nick Coltura.

That set the stage for Matt Bissett, who scored with the man-advantage with less than 20 seconds left to play in the period to even the score.

Bradley Wardner and Sean Pesut had assists on the play.

“With him in the lineup, it’s an extra goal or two per game,” said Fiset of Bissett, who tallied 50 points in just 33 games last season. “It’s a

matter of keeping him with players that can set him up and create space for him.”

The Kodiaks retook the lead four minutes into the third period.

The Flames were pressing for the late equalizer when, with six minutes remaining, Paul Piluso was given a major penalty and a game misconduct for a hit to the head.

“That really hurt us,” Fiset said. “Piluso is a bigger player, and the guy he hit was a lot smaller. When that happens, you’re going to get that call.”

The Kodiaks didn’t take long to capitalize on the five-minute power play, with Daniel Higgs scoring 20 sec-

onds later.

With less than minute left on the clock, the Flames pulled McLeod for the extra attacker, but were unable to cut the Kodiaks’ lead.

“We took a 1-1 tie into the third period, so it was a winnable game,” said Fiset. “We traded chances with them, but they we’re able to get better chances.”

He said he expects a better result tonight (Friday) for the Flames’ home opener against the Mission City Outlaws at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge.

The Flames were 2-1-1 against Mission in preseason play, the last place team in the league last season. However,

Fiset said his team can’t afford to take anybody lightly.

“They’re a good team, and I think they’ll have a few more veteran players in the lineup this time,” he said.

Success for the Flames will come down to speed and tenacity, Fiset said.

“We have to out-skate and out-check them,” he said.

“When we do those two things, things go well.”

Game time The ridge Meadows Flames host the Mission city Outlaws in their home opener tonight (Friday) at planet Ice in Maple ridge. Game time is at 7:30 p.m., with a tail gate party and barbecue before the game at 6:30 p.m.

deltoids and abdominals (especially the six pack rectus).

What is often critically overlooked, however, is the imbalance that can develop between the front of the shoulder and the back. What happens if you spend too much time and effort on chest development is the imbalance of strength and tightness causes the shoulder blades to roll forward and up.

This creates the hunched look of those individuals.

If the scapula is angled too far forward or upward, the rotatorcuff muscles are biomechanically disadvantaged and may result in the pinching and irritation of the rotator cuff tendons.

The rotator cuff should normally be balanced throughout the overhead movement, centering the humeral head on the glenoid socket. This requires equal strength and flexibility of the force couples of the rotator cuff.

But with misaligned scapulae, shoulder movement in the overhead position like overhead presses or latissimus pull-down can begin to impinge the rotator cuff muscles and tendons causing a tendonitis.

What these people need to do is balance the anterior chest development by developing their middle and lower trapezius, rhomboids, upper latissimus and posterior deltoid muscles to balance pectoralis muscles of the chest.

Next time, we’ll talk about more dangerous shoulder exercises to avoid and how to modify them.

Also a fond remembrance of all those outside caregivers, teachers, doctors and specialists in Vancouver, Coquitlam and Chilliwack who knew Reagan and loved her.

Also a special thank you to all of Reagan’s care givers at Ridge Meadows Hospital who took part in Reagan’s life and passing and for treating her parents with compassion at this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, donations are welcomed at the KAMLOOPS FOUNDATION, Box 15, Kamloops, BC V2C 5K3 Canada where the family has created the Reagan Lee Downie Legacy Fund in honor of her memory.
