no mistrial in Pitt rave case Judge rules key witnesses can be recalled to view images on new monitors

by M oni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

A trial will resume in November for a young man accused of posting pornographic photographs taken during a rave in Pitt Meadows two years ago.

On Wednesday, provincial court Judge Shehni Dossa denied an application for a mistrial filed by lawyers for Dennis John Allen Warrington, finding the issues at hand can be remedied by recalling key witnesses.

Warrington faces one count each of possessing and distributing child porn.

“While the late use of new monitors in this case is problematic ... the Crown has yet to close their case and can easily recall witnesses,” said Dossa. see Trial, p23

Rural bus routes in jeopardy Including one that takes support workers to recycling depot

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

It didn’t take long for recycling depot executive-director Kim Day to get busy after hearing of possible cuts to bus service in Maple Ridge.

She was on the phone early Thursday after hearing from one of her workers that those cuts could include route C-48, which runs along River Road and takes employees to the Maple Ridge Recycling Depot in Albion Industrial Area.

“I haven’t heard back yet,” she said.

“I’m sure it’s a big concern for other businesses along this street as well.”

Twitter posts started popping up early Thursday about possible cuts to bus service taking effect next year as TransLink looks to pare its expenses during its most recent funding crunch.

Coast Mountain Bus spokesperson Derek Zabel confirmed that the C-48 service along River Road could go, with the changes taking effect early next year.

However, an open house in Maple Ridge next month will sound out the public’s thoughts.

“This is just the plan that we’ve drawn up.

People will have the opportunity to share their opinions with us when we have the

open house.”

Zabel said Coast Mountain, a TransLink affiliate, is considering eliminating the River Road portion, south of the Lougheed Highway, of the C-48 community shuttle route.

Instead, it’s thinking of extending the C-48 route to the fast-growing Albion area, specifically on to McClure Drive near Samuel Robertson Technical secondary. The new C-48 route would then connect to the Port Haney West Coast Express station.

Zabel said the C-48 route used to connect to the Albion ferry before it was shut down in 2009, but the numbers have consistently remained low. “Historically, it hasn’t been a very busy route,” he added.

Memorial fund to support mental health Carol Todd wants to help prevent other tragedies

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

T

he mother of bullied teen Amanda Todd wants the fundraising efforts she has started in her daughter’s name to help shed light on mental illness and prevent more young people from taking their own lives.

Carol Todd, a teacher with the Coquitlam school district, says she hopes her daughter’s story can be used to accomplish something positive.

“This is my baby girl, and for some reason, people around the world have connected with her story,” said Todd. “My hope is that we can harness that interest, and some good can come out of this. Maybe we can save someone else’s kid.”

The Youtube video Amanda posted a month prior to her death detailing the harassment she suffered from an online predator and school bullies, how she descended into drug and alcohol abuse, as well as self harm, has been viewed close to 20 million times.

But Amanda was far from alone, says her mother.

Suicide numbers among females aged 10 to 19 have risen from 50 cases in 1980 to 77 in 2008, according to a report published by the Public Health Agency of Canada earlier this year.

“Personally, I would pay out of my own pocket for someone to look at reasons why young girls are committing suicide,” says Todd. “Until you work out the why, you can’t work out the how.”

Carol Todd with her daughter Amanda, who took her own life after being tormented online and at school.

To that end, Todd has established a trust fund to support youth mental health, as well as cyber-bullying education and a scholarship fund for students with learning disabilities.

Todd says she was inspired to start the memorial fund in the days after her daughter’s death, when she began to receive countless bouquets of flowers, and realized the money could be better spent elsewhere.

“I wanted all the money people were spending to go to a purposeful thing,” she says. “Then it took on a life of its own.”

Todd says one of the reasons she is sharing her daughter’s story is help shed a light on the problem of mental illness, and how it effects young people.

Before Amanda took her own life, she was treated in hospital for severe depression, receiving counselling and therapy for the anxiety caused by years of torment.

However, when Amanda was released, the bullies mocked her for her mental illness, something no one should have to endure, says Todd.

“Mental illness is invisible,” she says. “And if someone is suffering

Facebook photo

from mental illness, they’re just ‘crazy’ or ‘psycho.’”

The especially sensitive nature of someone suffering severe depression makes these barbs sting all the worse.

“You can hear all the positive comments in the world, but all it takes is one negative comment to put you right back down,” Todd says.

However, while Todd works to raise funds to prevent future tragedies, Internet scam artists are working to raise funds to line their own pockets.

In recent weeks, a number of fake fundraising campaigns with no connection to the Todd family have sprung up, soliciting donations in Amanda’s name.

“Some people are getting sucked into donating somewhere else, but that money is not going to the kids,” says Todd. “There are some really sick people out there.”

Donations to Amanda’s Memorial Fund, which will help fund mental health and anti-bullying initiates, and to Amanda’s Legacy Fund, which will support students with learning disabilities, can only be made through RBC bank branches, or through the Vancouver Foundation, which is administering the funds in order to allow international donations through the foundation’s website.

Todd says more than $12,000 in donations have already been collected through RBC bank, with more coming into the Vancouver Foundation.

“I don’t know how much they have collected so far, but I understand there have been some big benefactors asking about [the fund],” Todd says.

Currently, Vancouver Foundation manages more than 1,400 endowment funds with a total market value of almost $735 million.

Donations Donations can be made through the Vancouver Foundation’s website at vancouverfoundation.ca. Cheques can be made payable to Vancouver Foundation with “Amanda Todd” in the memo line, and mailed to the Vancouver Foundation, Suite 1200-555 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, B.C., V6B 4N6

Sexual predators lurking behind computer screens Community of sexual extortionists called cappers target teens

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

S

prawled on her bed, amongst fluffy pink pillows and stuffed toys, a lithe blonde girl recounts the mundane details of her day.

She chews gum as she types on her keyboard, fielding questions from her friends on the video chat site Blog TV – it’s tagline “You’re Featured!”

She hums between long pauses as new viewers log in. The counter quickly rolls – 298, 299, 300. Within 20 minutes, one viewer asks the teen to do something obscene. A request she dismisses swiftly, with the words, “GET LOST CREEEEEEP!!!!”.

This virtual world, though seemingly safe, is far from it.

Though moderated, BlogTV and other online communities such as Stickam and TinyChat are sites where sexual predators, shrouded behind screen names, lurk.

As Patrick McGuire, the Toronto-based managing editor for Vice magazine, found out – there’s a small group of them, however, who are not content with simply watching.

This community of sexual extortionists, known as “cappers,” target teens like Amanda Todd, known to be a user of BlogTV. Cappers are individuals who lurk in videochat rooms with the sole purpose of surreptitiously taking screenshots and recording video of the person they’re chatting with, says McGuire, who has been investigating the seedy subculture’s links to Amanda’s story.

It is the type of torment that Amanda describes in her video – detailing how one user got her to “flash,” then began to blackmail her

a year later by sending the screen capture to classmates – that led to her suicide.

The “cappers” exploits are celebrated in the now-defunct “Daily Capper,” a weird animated newscast on which awards are handed out for “capper of the year,” “camwhore of the year” and “blackmailer of the year.”

McGuire says from what he’s seen, it appears the men shower compliments on the young girls, then eventually get them to comply with sexual requests.

“If you watch the Amanda’s video, she talks about these guys telling her she’s stunning and beautiful,” he says. “They prey into certain vulnerabilities to get this level of trust.”

But it’s also evident some of the girls seek the attention. For McGuire, investigating the cappers has been stomach-turning at times, but more so it has been alarming. He sees the community of predators who hide in plain sight as a very serious and quickly growing problem online and only now starting to get

attention.

“The problem with this world was, it was basically unseen before I started pulling everything apart,” says McGuire.

“Pedophilia is not new, but the element of surveillance and observation and the fact that the Daily Capper is presented as entertainment is truly horrifying. There seems to be this sense of pride amongst these people. They make celebrities out of the most notorious blackmailer.”

In 2010, a person with the screen name Kody1206 won that title for his harassing another young girl.

Days after Amanda’s death, the hacktivist group Anonymous named Kody1206 as her blackmailer and proceeding to reveal his real identity online.

Police will not say if they are aware of the “capper” community, but have up to 25 investigators working on Amanda’s case.

Car Care ‘Know what your children are doing online’ THE BRAKE SERVICE Just about all of you are familiar with the trials and tribulations of a modern day brake job or overhaul. The shock of discovering that your brakes are shot and you were driving without knowing about it. The bigger shock when you get the quote to do the necessary repairs as it seems that you need everything replaced, short of the steering wheel.

Well, there is a way to reduce the cost and stretch out the intervals of your most common automotive repair bill, making it considerably more wallet friendly. Not to mention the piece of mind knowing that your brakes are safe and you can drive with the confidence and the knowledge that you are going to stop, when and where you want too! Naturally you’re required to spend some money and time to accomplish this, as nothing good comes free.

The service that I refer to is simply called a ‘brake service’ and it is amazing the difference it will make, in both the short and long term life-cycle of your vehicle’s brake system. Premature brake wear is usually a result of three main culprits: excessive or incorrect use, incorrect installation, or lack of servicing. It’s just that simple. Every day we repair, well intentioned, back yard brake jobs that are a result of someone trying to save a buck, only to find that the original problem has now been compounded into more problems and likely the ability to stop and safety has been compromised. There is no substitute for licensed automotive repairs, period!

A brake service put in simple terms is a brake job without parts being replaced, instead we service your existing parts to increase their efficiency and lifespan. As the parts component of most brake repairs represents double to quadruple the labour component, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to recognize the savings potential. Couple that with increasing the time interval between parts replacement and maintaining your personal safety and that of your children, everybody wins.

Why haven’t you heard about this service before, and why aren’t more people taking advantage of these huge savings on vehicle maintenance?

Simply put the only two parties that benefit from this type of service are you the consumer and we the licensed service providers of automotive repairs and maintenance.

We’re usually too busy advising you of the repairs you need, due to your ‘maintenance free’ attitude or opinion, that you have incorrectly deducted from the major automotive advertisers’ of the world. In other words most vehicle owners are playing catch up and there are no dollars remaining after the emergency repairs are completed. The looks we get from you, when we suggest that you spend a few extra dollars and do some maintenance items, are deadly.

Face it, the majority of your knowledge about vehicles is based on word of mouth, or advertisements, not very reliable when you pause and think about it. Give us a call, we can and will help, it’s our profession.

Calls to the RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation Unit, via E division and Ottawa, were not returned.

Sadly, sexual exploitation and luring is all too common online.

Most children don’t want to talk to their parents about their experiences online because they believe they won’t be understood.

“Technology is continually changing, so this education has to be ongoing for both parents and their children,” she says.

New preliminary research findings, released last week by the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, pro-

vide greater insight into child luring crime, as well as ways to better protect children.

The study examined 264 reports made by the public to Cybertip. ca, Canada’s tipline for reporting the online sexual exploitation of children, about online luring between September 2007 and June 2011.

Some reports about online luring came from family members of the young person being victimized, as well as the victims themselves.

A percentage of these reports also included text and chat logs,

which aided researchers in further examining the interactions and techniques offenders used in luring children online.

“From our preliminary findings, what we are seeing is adult offenders using a variety of ways to manipulate children to increase their compliance in order to sexually exploit them online,” said executive director Lianna McDonald.

“The research shows that suspects use persistence, threats, and try to normalize sexual behaviour by sharing sexually explicit images and information as well as behaving in sexually inappropriate ways.”

Pipeline protest at Liberal MP’s office

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Many passing motorists sounded their horns when Leadnow. ca brought Defend Our Coast Day of Action for a noon-hour protest Wednesday in front of MLA Marc Dalton’s office on Dewdney Trunk Road.

One passing motorist was so captured by the protest, she stopped her car, grabbed a sign and joined in.

Instead of relying on oil experts to produce jobs, more solar and wind energy needs to be developed, said Michelle Nikodym, holding a sign that read: “Defend our Coast.”

“That is a resource that will be with us forever,” she added. “We’re being very ignorant when we say we need oil for jobs.

We need to learn better.”

Just because you drive a car that depends on oil and gas, she said, you still have the right to oppose the two proposed pipelines.

About 70 people lined up on the sidewalk, holding several signs and waving to honking motorists.

Verity Howarth, with Leadnow in Maple Ridge, said the event attracted about 38 people who hadn’t been to such an event before.

The intent was to get B.C. politicians to make a “firm commitment” to ban tanker expansion along B.C.’s coast, which would stop Kinder Morgan Canada’s proposed doubling of its existing pipeline through B.C. to Burnaby and stop Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines proposal to build a new pipeline from Edmonton to Kitimat.

Kinder Morgan Canada’s proposed $4.1-billion project would increase capacity of the Trans Mountain pipeline from 300,000 to 750,000 barrels per day. That would increase by 10 times the number of oil tankers loading up in Burnaby.

According to its website, the 1,150-km Trans Mountain pipeline system has been “safely and efficiently providing the only West Coast access for Canadian oil products, including about 90 percent of the gasoline supplied to the interior and south coast of B.C.,” for about 60 years.

If the provincial government isn’t able stop the pipeline, “We can,” said Cori Sandy of Maple Ridge.

“By standing up and

PHEW!

YOU SURVIVED THE FALL The taxi of mom & dad

About 70 people attended the protest along Dewdney Trunk Road. saying, ‘No.’ No one else can.”

Gerald Martin, with the Green party, had three reasons for opposing the projects: because he objected to oil sands development; because of the threat to B.C.’s coast line; and because of the

“political arrogance” that would be required to build the pipelines against the will of the people.

“Once the destruction [of the coastline] is done, I doubt it will ever recover properly.”

For Pitt Meadows

Colleen Flanagan/the news

resident Rob Dramer, more research and development is needed on alternative fuels and transportation methods.

The amount of research dollars spent on such projects is “miniscule” compared to that spent drilling for oil, he added.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

A national betrayal Maple Ridge council took a courageous step recently with its analysis of changes to the Fisheries Act. After forming a task force of local experts, the district to tried to make sense of the changes, asking for a scientific explanation, background details, government experts, anything that would make sense of and justify such sweeping changes, such a major evisceration of the Fisheries Act. Its efforts were for nothing, and instead the questions remain: why remove protection of fish habitat and instead protect only cultural, recreational or commercial fisheries?

The involvement of our local MP, Randy Kamp, parliamentary secretary to the fisheries minister, didn’t help much either.

Kamp, the loyal and obedient servant of the cabinet bosses, did nothing to help the task force, only helping impose Ottawa’s environmental desecration.

The government argues the act has become too broad over the years and needs to focus on fisheries only.

That is a weak excuse for a relentless attack on the environment and on an act that’s been working well, by an autocratic, secretive government.

The government has yet to say who will actually define what is a cultural, recreational or sports fishery.

The end result is that the millions of rivulets, brooks, springs and creeks – where a link can’t be found to a big salmon run – are now without federal protection.

Now, any developer, builder, polluter or pipeline company can invade those streams, ruin the habitat, which we know feed major fisheries.

And rest assured, there will be no action from the federal government.

In its resolutions passed recently, Maple Ridge addresses the above issues and calls for the reinstatement of fish habitat protection, and asks for the support of other B.C. cities.

Maple Ridge council, led by Cheryl Ashlie and Al Hogarth, and opposed only by Michael Morden, have shown strength in standing up for their communities by passing such resolutions.

They had no choice, however, because when it comes to environmental protection, our federal government has abandoned us.

T

he culture of denial in government, specifically in averting Health Care the looming health Marco Terwiel care crisis of an aging population taking up an ever larger proportion of the budget.

It is maddening to realize this when there are plenty of sensible ways to spend health care dollars more wisely. Yet nothing much is done to avert the misery many will experience when we continue on the present course, heading straight for a major crisis.

Compared to other developed countries, we pay top dollar for health care and receive, at best, mediocre value. With exception of the excellent care for acute, life-threatening situations, such as a heart attack or a major car accident, the wait times to see a specialist for serious, but not lethal illnesses are often ridiculous – a year or more is not uncommon. After seeing the specialist, the patient has another lengthy before surgery or investigations.

Then there are the overloaded emergency departments with lengthy wait times. Unless you are lucky, you’re often looked after by stressed out health care professionals struggling to serve their patients well and constantly running into roadblocks in the

process. Top of the list: no beds, but also increasingly a shortage of health care personnel and equipment.

Since the inception of our once wonderful Medicare, I have seen a steady decline in the quality of care.

I am not talking about the astonishing technological advances, such as daycare gall bladder surgery – which used to mean getting a large painful abdominal incision followed by a 10-day hospital stay – or the heart, lung and kidney transplant advances, pacemakers, joint replacements, new and effective drug and many more techniques to fix what was unthinkable just a few decennia ago. All this progress has come with financial consequences for the government coffers. The government ‘solved’ the problem of paying for the expensive services by rationing and increasing health care premiums. In other words, we are forced to pay with time and money, yet things are deteriorating.

Those who can and are willing to pay to defray the cost of their own care instead of using tax dollars are denied that privilege by law in Canada and simply go to the U.S., India or Thailand instead. The alternative is to reluctantly join the queue and wait.

Many people who have experienced the shortcomings of our health services are wondering what the future will bring as they age.

Is further deterioration inevitable? Not, if we come to our senses and take a hard look how we can allocate the health care dollar in a better way and change our culture of entitlement.

For years I have wondered why we think we need 13 ministries of health, one each for every province and territory, plus another federal one in Ottawa. And that is for a

Does Canada need a national bullying prevention strategy?

Yes: 73% – No: 27% (65 votes)

Canadian population of some 34 million people, half of that of France, That country has only one health ministry and runs a less expensive and more efficient system without the wait lists.

Just think of it: 13 health ministers, deputies, secretaries, offices filled with bureaucrats, all essentially performing the same tasks as the one in France.

We also have 13 licensing bodies, with their bureaucracies, overseeing the qualifications and performance of the physicians. Ditto for the registered nurses and all other professional licensing organizations.

Why does anyone think that my competence to look after patients changes when I cross the Alberta border? Why does anyone think that a person in Alberta has a different kind of appendicitis or heart attack than the person in B.C.? Are Alberta doctors held to a different standard than B.C. doctors?

I hope not.

Australia is a federation of different territories, but recognizes one Australian license. All Canadian physicians have to pass the same examination after years of training. Why then 13 different licensing bureaucracies?

We are paying an enormous amount of tax dollars and other fees for thousands of people often earning above average salaries, benefits and pensions for no increased benefit to the rest of us. Fossilized thinking and protecting vested interests are preventing a fresh look at how we deliver affordable health care when we need it, without bankrupting the system with unproductive activities.

Putting pressure on farmland

online comments Young adults • Michel Gendron: Re: Let’s talk about it (News Views, Oct. 24).

Giving students the opportunity to view and discuss the video with a caring professional makes so much sense. No note from parents. These kids are young adults.

No to big oil • Dana Lacroix · Camosun College: Re: Pipeline protest at Maple Ridge MLA’s office (mapleridgenews.com) We are all slaves to big oil. It affects everything we do. We are all essentially ‘oil junkies’ and it is going to ravage our country and our environment if we continue down this road.

The Harper government is choosing to ignore opportunities for sustainable technology development because it is so immersed in big oil deals and securing pacts with China – a country with the most horrendous human and animal rights violations ( but I guess it is OK to do business deals with on a large scale.

What do we cherish about Canada? Could it be the wide open spaces, the pristine forests, the clear running streams, the amazing wildlife, the awe-inspiring coast lines and sea life, the wild salmon?

I, for one, will not stand by and let this government destroy what we love and need to protect. I know that most Canadians feel the same in their hearts. So stand up Canada and say ‘no’ to oil expansion ideas, and ‘yes’ to change.

Editor, The News: Re: Do you support removing land in the North Lougheed Corridor from the agricultural reserve? (Question of the week, Oct. 12).

I was encouraged to see that the vast majority of respondents (79 per cent) were not in support of losing more of our productive farmland.

However, the majority on Pitt Meadows council decided to send the exclusion application to the Agricultural Land Commission for its consideration.

If any of the 79 people who responded in the negative to this question have not already done so, I would encourage them to send an e-mail to the ALC, outlining their reasons for opposing this proposed exclusion.

(ALCBurnaby@Victoria1. gov.bc.ca).

If this exclusion is ap-

proved, it would result in speculative pressure on surrounding farmland and renewed exclusion applications in Maple Ridge.

The already evident effects of climate change should be reason enough to not pave over any more of our productive farmland.

Major problem Editor, The News: Re: Do you support removing land in the North Lougheed Corridor from the agricultural reserve? (Question of the week, Oct. 12).

To our misguided politicians, no, I definitely do not support removing any farmland from agricultural land reserves, whether it is north of the Lougheed corridor or

anywhere else.

Think about the future or do politicians only care about the present. Maybe they think we buy all of our food from the U.S. or any other country.

Our government should support and encourage local farming; we have enough shopping malls and industrial centers (50 per cent occupancy rate in the Maple Ridge industrial centre and many

“When is this insanity going to end? others).

When is this insanity going to end?

Trucks are moving north, south, east and west throughout the Lower Mainland and are causing havoc in everyday

traffic.

No designated truck routes.

No restriction on Saturday and Sunday hauling.

What are you thinking??

We have major traffic problems in the Lower Mainland, directly associated to these malls and industrial centres.

People have to use their cars to get to them and trucks have to transport the merchandise to these centres.

The lack of intelligence of our politicians (federal, provincial and municipal) boggles my mind. We vote them in to be smart and make intelligent decisions, but they never come through.

It is always big developers and offshore interests that dictate their decisions.

I say enough is enough and keep our farmland away from developers who are only interested in their financial gains.

We care, but where’s the accountability of Caring Place?

Editor, The News: Re: Time for Sally Ann to find a new home (The News, Oct. 10).

It seems that the people who work at the Caring Place aren’t getting it.

The residents of Maple Ridge aren’t heartless people; the majority of us understand that many people need help.

We appreciate the efforts put forth and the necessity of your services.

What I’d like to know is why you continue to help people who need it and in the process corrode our beautiful city

and force its residents to move?

Who is willing to answer that question for me?

Why are you not responsible for the crime in the area?

Why are you not building a fence and securing the area so that riff raff doesn’t congregate all around it?

Why hasn’t the park been secured or developed so it doesn’t just sit there and allow illegal squatters to hang out there?

Where’s the accountability of the Caring

Abuse isn’t always black and blue

Place?

The Caring Place can say all it wants about all the good its staff does, but this should not divert from the real issue: your place attracts people who hurt others and who are progressively destroying downtown Maple Ridge.

Instead of arresting the criminals that the Caring Place attracts, then buying them bus tickets to Vancouver (as one of the several articles from a concerned citizen suggests), why not provide free transit to the people who need to get to the

facility, then move it out of the city?

As far as the NIMBYS (not in my backyard) go, if this is a general consensus, then why are the zoning laws not changed for these types of facilities so that they no longer affect innocent people?

You don’t see a prison in the middle of a residential street.

I sent a letter to the mayor last week with several questions and I’m awaiting a response. I asked for statistics, such as exactly how many people the Caring Place helps.

Take back neighbourhood Editor, The News: Re: Time for Sally Ann to find a new home (The News, Oct. 10).

I moved to Maple Ridge from Coquitlam, and am horrified to live in this community.

I have never been so intimidated and disgusted with a neighborhood in my life.

We live on the bypass near Brick Park and all we see are druggies and homeless. They have no respect for our neighborhood, so how do we show respect for them?

Move them out and let’s take back our neighborhood.

no accountability and it’s the hard-working, tax-paying person who suffers the consequences.

We need accountability. We need answers.

But most of all, we need the Caring Place to care for everyone.

I think the residents of Maple Ridge have a right to know the actual facts, not just articles written to pull at your heart strings and divert you from the real issue.

Wouldn’t it be interesting to see the crime statistics since the Caring Place opened up?

Who would like to see those?

Push, petition, get numbers together and don’t stop the fight.

Those will be the only things that will move this place away from a residential area.

The gravy train is over for federal MPs after all 308 Members of Parliament agreed on pension changes Friday.

“I hope people see it as a genuine attempt for us to pay our share,” Pitt Meadows-Maple RidgeMission MP Randy Kamp said Tuesday.

Starting next year, the annual amount MPs contribute to their pension plan will start increasing beyond the $11,000 they now pay, which make up about 14 per cent of the contributions that go into their plan.

By 2017, MPs will be paying $35,000 into their plan yearly, which will be half the total contributions.

“We believe that we should be compensated fairly, but not too generously, because obviously taxpayers are paying for that.

“This is a way for us to pay our share.”

The eligibility period

THE NEWS/files

MP Randy Kamp would receive $55,000 a year in retirement. for which MPs can also collect their full pension also changes. Now they’ll have to work to 65 before sitting back and collecting full benefits, whereas currently 55 is retirement age.

“So we’re going to start to pay more, but the key age of 65 is not going to become active until after the next election.”

That will be in October 2015.

According to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, if Kamp retires in 2015, after serving 11

years, he’ll earn a yearly pension of $55,290 – or $1.19 million over a lifetime.

That number shouldn’t change, Kamp said Tuesday.

The House of Commons voted unanimously on the change Friday, passing all three stages of the bill after the Liberals made that suggestion.

“It happens every once in a while,” when all parties agree, Kamp added.

His basic salary as MP for 2012 is $157,731. He earns another $15,834

as parliamentary secretary to Fisheries Minister Keith Ashfield.

That’s been frozen for the past three years.

The freeze of MP salaries was part of the first budget under the Economic Action Plan, Kamp pointed out.

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

A man who bilked his family, friends and strangers of more than a million dollars is out of prison after spending just over a year in custody.

Douglas Archie Clark was granted day parole on Oct. 9, despite misgivings by members of his case management team, who recommended parole be denied.

The 66-year-old Clark must abide by a set of rules while in the community and return to a half-way house at night.

Clark was sentenced to three years in prison in February on 11 counts of fraud after he admitted to scamming 11 people.

He was given double time credit for six months he had already spent in custody, which left two years in his sentence.

Clark was released from a federal prison last week after spending eight months in custody.

“You have no support from your case management team as they believe that you have limited insight into your offending, no relapse prevention plan and continue to have grandiose ideas for paying back your victims,” the parole board said in a written decision.

“You have no solid support or meaningful employment plans.

Your [case management team] is of the opinion that you are willing to victimize anyone who will fall for your lies … and you do not appear to view your past actions as criminal.”

To trick his victims, Clark portrayed himself as a member of the Canadian military, often indicating he was either currently employed or retired from the navy.

He sometimes wore a military uniform.

He told family, friends and colleagues he had cancer and needed the cash to pay for experimental treatments.

Police believe he defrauded at least 54 peo-

ple, including his exwife and son, for about $1.4 million, although charges were only approved for 22. Clark was convicted on 11 of those counts, the remaining charges were stayed.

Clark told the parole board it was easy to get caught up in lies.

He used the money to gamble and furnish a lavish lifestyle. The parole board noted Clark was suspected of using illegal drugs, but that could not be confirmed.

Clark did not obey bail conditions after his arrest last year and the board had little faith that he would follow another court order.

However, Clark was granted day parole after the board took into account his lack of criminal history, his low-to-moderate risk of reoffending, his participation in prison programs, and the fact that he was trying to find support in the community.

Marjorie Lovatt was shocked to find out that Clark had been released from prison.

“He’s so smooth, I’m not surprised he convinced the parole board,”

said Lovatt, 89.

“I can’t believe they let him out.”

Over two years, the Maple Ridge senior lent Clark $250,000, wiping out her life savings and eventually dipping into her pension.

Clark, who she has known for more than 30 years, told her he needed the cash to pay for experimental treatments in the U.S. to fight cancer. He always promised he’d return the money, but had a tale of hard luck when it came time to pay back the cash.

The sentencing judge ordered Clark to pay more than $500,000 in restitution, but Lovatt has yet to see any money returned. Clark wants to start a business to pay back his victims.

To remain out of prison, Clark must abide by several special conditions that include participating in mental health treatment to address unresolved emotional issues and develop insight into his crimes, abstaining from alcohol and drugs, not gambling, providing documented financial information to his parole officer, and reporting all his relationships, acquaintances, family, friendships and business partnerships to his parole supervisor.

Supportive housing opens doors

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

There’s now another safety net that could catch people at risk of falling through the cracks and ending up on the street.

It’s got 45 cosy bachelor suites with lots of storage room and big windows and space enough to cook, eat, relax and live, allowing people to heal and make plans to progress in their lives.

That’s how it’s working for Shelby Milburn, one of the residents of Alouette Heights.

Milburn, 29, recently had a rough few years after her marriage broke down.

She was having a tough time keeping it together, she said Wednesday at the grand opening of the $8-million building on Brown Avenue and 222nd Street. She lost her job.

She lost her apartment.

“And I almost lost my daughter.”

She was trying not to wear out her welcome staying with friends and finally swallowed her pride and applied for income assistance.

That’s where she learned about Alouette Heights.

She applied and was accepted and moved into a triangular shaped

With an affordable place to live, Milburn can start planning for the future.

She’s now setting goals and is going back to school.

“Knowing I have a place to call home is such an awesome experience,” she told politicians and support staff.

Thanks, she told the District of Maple Ridge, “For giving me another chance.”

Alouette Heights is staffed 24 hours a day by a support worker who helps residents stay on their plans for coping with past addictions or mental health illnesses.

Each tenant will develop an individualized support plan with their support worker on entry to the project.

B.C. Housing provided both the capital to get the building done and the operating funds, while Maple Ridge provided the $1-million triangular piece of property on Brown Avenue and 222nd Street where the building’s located.

Sheila McLaughlin, former president of the Alouette Home Start Society, which operates the building, said providing people safe, secure housing “allows them to look to the future,” rather than just worry about where they’re going to sleep at

Residents can stay up to two years and, if employed, pay a percentage of their income in rent.

Tours were provided of the three-storey energy-efficient building.

Geothermal heating means there’s no need for a natural gas connection.

The project is certified to a gold rating under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design system.

MLA Marc Dalton said since 2006, B.C. Housing has provided more thatn 12,000 beds in supportive housing around the province.

“Our goal is to help people move beyond temporary housing.”

SkyTrain service cuts opposed SkyTrain frequency should not be cut to save money for cash-strapped TransLink. That’s the message a group of transit users are sending as they try to overturn planned service reductions.

TransLink’s 2013 base plan would run trains less often on weekends on the Expo and Millennium lines, saving $500,000.

And the new provincial audit of TransLink recommends also reducing the frequency of weekday trains by one to two minutes at off-peak times to cut another $1.1 million.

“It’s going to feel like rush hour all day long,” predicts SkyTrain For Surrey organizer Daryl Dela Cruz. “We have to question whether this is defensible at all.”

He predicts Expo trains running to and from Surrey will run every eight

minutes instead of every six at offpeak times of the day and every 10 minutes instead of eight later at night.

Given growing transit demand in Metro Vancouver, he said it would be “irresponsible” to cut frequency on the backbone of the transit system, deterring riders from using it.

He said it could also make it harder for passengers to connect from SkyTrain to infrequent suburban buses, possibly leaving them with much longer waits at those bus stops if they miss a bus.

Dela Cruz said it makes even less sense since the SkyTrain cuts deliver only 0.5 per cent of the savings laid out in TransLink’s plan.

If fewer people take SkyTrain, he added, the presumed savings could shrink further.

Businesses who depend on customers and patrons arriving by SkyTrain may also lose money, he suggested.

Cleaning Water Mains The District of Maple Ridge Operations Department will be commencing the annual flushing/cleaning program starting at 224th Street working east to 236th Street between River Road and 132nd Avenue, for approximately sixteen (16) weeks beginning October 1, 2012.

This maintenance work will improve the water quality; however, during this cleaning process some residents could experience water pressure drops and milky or dirty water.

You may take the following steps to correct the problem:

1. MILKY WATER: Open tap slightly to bleed air from the water lines.

2. DIRTY WATER: Turn an outside tap on until the water becomes clear.

This temporary interruption in service will be as brief as possible.

Your understanding and cooperation is appreciated.

The River Road section of Route C-48 could be removed as early as next year.

‘We need so much service in Ridge’ Buses from front

“There’s not a lot out there. They’re going through some pretty rural areas.”

At peak times, the shuttle has between five to 14 passengers, he said. It runs now only every two hours, five times a day, starting at 10 a.m.

Coast Mountain is also considering removing the Thornhill, or southerly portion of route C-49, which runs along Dewdney Trunk Road to 284th Street. At peak times, the C-49 only carries between eight and 12 passengers.

Zabel said the two routes are among the “lowest performing in the entire [Coast Mountain Bus] system.”

Coast Mountain is also considering one other change, turning the C-41 route, which runs every half hour in Pitt Meadows, into a loop route that runs every hour, so people can get back to where they came from.

A Coast Mountain Bus driver whose routes are in eastern part of the district said on one of them, the shuttle is usually full when it completes its

run into downtown Maple Ridge.

But as a driver, there’s little that can be done to influence Coast Mountain Bus scheduling decisions.

“We can’t change it. It has to come from the public,” she said, adding she’ll try to contact Whonnock residents to see if they want to talk to Mayor Ernie Daykin.

“We need so much service in Maple Ridge.

We’re not getting it as it is. We can’t afford to lose any more.”

Day said she wants to learn exactly what the reductions will be be-

About 30 people with developmental disabilities are among the recycling depot’s workforce, after Community Living B.C. recently renewed a supported work program with Ridge Meadows recycling.

“I’ll get the mayor and everybody else involved because we need that bus service.”

“I’ll get the mayor and everybody else involved because we need that bus service.”

Kim Fay, recycling society About half of the $98 million in annual efficiencies spelled out in TransLink’s new base plan come from further cost cutting – mostly in bus operations and maintenance – with the rest coming from revenue gains.

TransLink finalizes its plan in November after the independent TransLink Commissioner scrutinizes it.

Further cuts could come next year if area mayors rescind a $30-million property tax hike assumed in the plan and no replacement source is approved by the province.

A community discussion on stray cats

by Colleen Fla n ag a n staff reporter

The District of Maple Ridge has pledged $35,000 a year for the next three to spay and neuter cats.

To make the most out of this money, the Maple Ridge branch of the B.C. SPCA. along with Katie’s Place – a volunteer-run animal shelter beside the SPCA on Jackson Road – will host a community discussion on Nov. 3 to address the problem of free-roaming cats in order to come up with innovative and creative solutions.

The discussion, called “Let’s Talk About Cats,” is open to all residents of Maple Ridge and employees who work in the district.

“This is a consultation process,” explained Mark Vosper, manager of the Maple Ridge branch of the SPCA. “We need everyone to come together. We need to know where the money needs to be spent.”

Areas where there are stray and feral cats need to be identified.

“If we get everyone to feed in, then we can build

up a map and a plan on how best to tackle this,” said Vosper.

The problem starts when cats are not spayed or neutered. It not only deteriorates the health of the animal, explains Vosper, but the cat can continue having kittens, which adds to the problem every year.

“With more strays around or animals that are just roaming, we see more hit by cars or maybe coyotes getting them, or something nasty happening like that. So the more responsible people become, then the better the problem will be. It’s going to improve,” said Vosper.

This is not a problem specific to Maple Ridge, though, it is a problem throughout the province.

Geoff Urton, manager of animal welfare for the B.C. SPCA, applauds the Maple Ridge district for its progressive approach on this issue.

“There is honestly a homeless cat crisis in B.C.,” said Urton. “One of the things we are really committed to is trying to get to the grassroots to solve this problem and engaging other people outside of the B.C. SPCA

branch network in local communities,” he said.

Urton is hoping the pilot project will generate ideas tailor-made for Maple Ridge and involve various animal rescue groups, local veterinarians, municipal staff and concerned residents.

Katie’s Place has, on average, between 90 and 110 cats housed at the shelter at any given time, plus additional cats in foster care. Currently, the Maple Ridge SPCA has 55 cats under its care.

Tracey Bon, who has been a volunteer at Katie’s Place for the past 11

We Pamper Your Clothes

years, believes having both shelters working on the issue, with the support of council, will produce successful results.

“We’re in a position that we can hopefully in the three years that the project’s going we can really, really get a significant handle on it.”

The community dialogue is Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Hammond Community Centre (20601 Westfield Avenue).

GET THE GUARANTEED LOWEST PRICE* ON HONDA REPAIRS.

Uncertainties, change plenty in life M She’s a stubborn woman; I had no reason compelling enough to convince her differently.

She began the process of jumping through As we age Graham Hookey the various medical hoops necessary to clear her as a potential home resident (no communicable diseases) and to rate her level of dependence for care services. Frankly, she could be running the place.

The process was held up a few times with various people going on holidays, some test results being uncertain and some complications in her being able to get to appointments and tests at times that were convenient for the system. With no transit system and an hour drive to every appointment, she was dependent on the kindness of friends, and the availability of their schedules.

Just a few days ago, she received a phone call confirming that she was accepted into a home. She will go from a three-bedroom home to a single room half the size of the smallest room in her current house. It will be an adjustment, for sure, but she is looking forward to the

company of others, the prepared meals and the worry-free existence that she perceives will be her future.

The next two weeks will be spent packing the one suitcase full of things that she’ll be able to fit in her room.

I have my reservations, of course. Most of that is driven by my guilt that somehow I have abandoned her. I probably shouldn’t have watched the movie Happy Gilmore recently.

Still, I must accept that it is her right to choose and simply ensure that she knows that if it doesn’t turn out to be what she wants, that our door is always open. I wish we were closer by so that we could visit regularly. But we’ll simply have to continue with the nightly phone calls to let her know we’re thinking of her.

Life has many uncertainties and dramatic change can happen in a moment. I suppose I should be happy that she’s healthy, capable of making her own decision and beginning a new phase of her life that might be a wonderful one.

That will certainly be my communication to her, although I will not likely feel settled in her decision until she is truly comfortable and happy in the situation.

Graham Hookey writes on education, parenting and eldercare (ghookey@yahoo.com).

y father passed away last fall and my wife and I brought my mother to live with us for the winter.

In the spring, I took her back to her home, in a small and somewhat isolated outport in Newfoundland, where she knew she would be surrounded by friends and where, in the summer, a stream of family would make their way through.

It wasn’t surprising to me that not long after her arrival she was finding it pretty lonely. Aside from the fact that a three bedroom home is a big space for one person, there was little purpose to the day, and even though friends dropped by or phoned occasionally, the day was spent almost entirely alone.

I had more than a few conversations with her about that, as I spoke to her nightly, and it didn’t take her long to make the decision that this was not something she would want for too long.

During my visit to her in the summer, we went and looked at various eldercare options. While it made perfect sense to me that she return to my home for the fall and winter, that was not an option she felt particularly comfortable with.

Her greatest fear was that if something happened to her medically, we’d be “burdened” with her care. She wanted her independence and our independence.

Almost a third of Metro Vancouverites speak a language other than English most often at home, according to newly released census data.

The results from the 2011 count highlight the region’s growing cultural and linguistic diversity as a result of steady immigration from Asia.

The single most prevalent immigrant language in the region is Punjabi – accounting for nearly

147,000 speakers or 6.4 per cent of Metro Vancouver’s population of just under 2.3 million.

But Chinese languages make up much more if clumped together.

The census counted 133,000 Cantonese speakers (5.8 per cent), 92,000 Mandarin speakers (four per cent) and another 115,000 nonspecified Chinese speakers (five per cent) in Metro.

Philippine-based Tagalog is Canada’s fastestgrowing language and is now spoken by three per cent of Metro Vancouver’s population, while the next top languages here are Korean (two per cent), Farsi, Spanish, German and Hindi (1.1 per cent.)

Just 58 per cent of Metro Vancouver residents speak only English at home, down from 65.2 per cent in 2001.

Increasingly, Metro residents are speaking both English and their mother tongue at home – that mixed use was reported by 24 per cent, up from 17.8 per cent a decade earlier.

Slightly more residents reported being unable to converse in the dominant official language.

Nearly 130,000 residents, or 5.7 per cent of the Metro population, indicated they could not speak English, up from five per cent in 2006.

More than seven per cent said they were officially bilingual, speaking both English and French, while just 0.1 per cent said French was their only official language.

Surrey is home to 94,000 South Asians who list Punjabi as their mother tongue – they make up 20 per cent of the city’s population and two-thirds of the Punjabi speakers in Metro Vancouver.

Half of Metro’s 23,000 Hindi speakers also live in Surrey.

Richmond is home to 23 per cent of Metro’s 330,000 residents who grew up speaking Chinese languages.

In Abbotsford-Mission, 69 per cent list English as their mother tongue and 79 per cent generally speak English only at home.

The census also counted 28,000 in AbbotsfordMission whose mother tongue is Punjabi – 16.7 per cent of the population – while German was second at 6,500 or 3.9 per cent. Dutch, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese were next most common, at one per cent or less.

Curiosity, persistence researching past

W

ayne Robinson had his interest tweaked during his regular walks along the Fraser River in Kanaka Creek park.

Here were the moldering remains of two log dumps and the train tracks that brought logs from the Abernethy & Lougheed Logging Company operations to form waterfront booms.

After Robinson looked up the information at the Maple Ridge Museum Archives, he spent many hours reading the New Westminster Columbian newspaper, available on microfiche at the Maple Ridge library. He copied many references to the A&L Logging Company that operated in the area north of Webster’s Corners and west of Alouette Lake from 1919 to 1931.

He also consulted maps and photos from other archives.

In 1919, the Chicagobased Miami Corporation purchased timber rights covering 25,000 acres of forested land on the slopes of Golden Ears Mountains from the Dominion of Canada.

Work began on the regular gauge railway

Maple Ridge Museum photo

The trestle bridge over the CPR tracks and River Road, 1920. that would carry loaded logging trains from the forest to the log dump at the mouth of Kanaka Creek. Four sturdy trestle bridges over the Alouette River and the CPR main line were constructed by Fraser River Pile Driving.

Local managers of the A&L operation were Nelson Lougheed and George Abernethy, established businessmen in the logging industry.

One reason for creating the 30-acre booming grounds at the mouth of Kanaka Creek was to stockpile booms of valuable cedar and fir logs that could be easily towed downstream to numerous mills during the spring freshet. Five carloads of logs could be dumped at one time, to be formed into booms and secured to pilings.

In the Kanaka Creek area, there were a bunkhouse, cookhouse and machine shop, employing 40 men. Apparently there was also a six-hole golf course there, constructed on a flat area to keep the men busy (and not drinking) during waits between trains. Plans to build a large sawmill nearby were never carried out, a boon to the ecology of the area.

The main A&L headquarters camp was on a 40-acre site, now known as Allco Park. I had bunkhouses to accommodate the 700.

The machine shop manufactured much of the logging equipment.

It was like a small town, with its own post office.

Robinson located part of the logging railway right-of-way at the foot-

path called Cottonwood North Park. He took a metal detector there, and uncovered a number of railway spikes and metal bolts that held a wooden fiche plate in place.

Many of the trails and roads in Golden Ears park follow the original rail lines, including the incline trail near Mike Lake, where empty railroad cars and locomotives were hoisted uphill.

Today’s photo shows the trestle bridge over River Road and the CPR tracks north of Kanaka Creek. Before loaded logging trains crossed over this trestle, they checked the CPR schedule to make sure no passenger trains were due.

A fire in 1929 curtailed the A&L operations, which shut down completely in 1931. The company was in financial difficulties, and had already logged off much of the timber.

We are gradually filling in the story of one of our pioneer industries, thanks to researchers like Wayne Robinson.

Important to be a neighbour Contest Winner CONGRATULATIONS! to Kayla & Nalia.

The photo of Kayla’s first day of preschool received the most votes in our online ‘Back to School’ contest.

The girls won a brand new Iphone 4S from Countrywide Communications.

Thank you to everyone who submitted their photos and to all who voted for their favourite.

A

scholar wants to engage Jesus in a religious debate.

What could be more important to consider than eternal life?

Jesus takes the bait. “Good question,” he says. “Let’s do a Bible study. Tell me more about your interpretation.”

Quoting Scripture, the man proceeds: “Love the Lord you God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind.

And love your neighbour as yourself.”

“That’s it,” Jesus replies. “Now, since you obviously know the answer, go and do it.”

The question about eternal life cannot be separated from the daily details of our living in this place at this time; it cannot be separated from our living in communion with God and neighbours. Eternal life is not a philosophical idea; it is a way of living that begins right here, right now, among the people in our neighbourhoods.

The man’s heart falls in his shoes.

He is just looking for a good old debate. He likes to exchange ideas about the condition of the world, speculate about the future, and complain about the things people do.

He hoped that Jesus would spin himself into a corner, but now he finds himself against the ropes.

His answer has practical implications; it calls for a change of heart

and for charitable living.

But that is not what he is interested in.

“Let’s keep it at the level of debate, shall we? Who exactly is my neighbour, Jesus? Could Acts of Faith you define neighbour for Gerard Booy me?”

Defining ‘neighbour’ enables us to narrow down the list, to include some and exclude others, to include those whom we like and from whose company and friendship we might benefit, and to exclude those who make us feel uncomfortable and whose presence is a burden to society. We stereotype people so that many don’t meet our criteria of ‘neighbour.’ By defining ‘neighbour,’ we hope to escape at least some of our responsibilities.

A strange thing happens, though. Jesus refuses to define ‘neighbour.’ He tells a story instead to encourage us to be neighbours to people in need.

A man was travelling from Jerusalem to Jericho when robbers attacked him. They beat him, took his clothes, and left him half-dead by the side of the road. Lucky for him, two people

who looked suspiciously like the religious scholar were travelling along that same route. They knew the teachings, they were good people, they would help, right?

But reluctant and unwilling to get involved, both of them passed at a safe distance.

I wonder why? Do they have other important things to do?

What makes it so hard for them to stop and be neighbours?

Finally a Samaritan came to the man. He saw him and took pity on him. (The story slows down.)

He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.

The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper as compensation for looking after the man, promising to reimburse him for any extra expenses he might have.

The samaritan takes time to help, becomes personally involved, and pays careful attention to the man’s needs.

And Jesus asks, “Which of the three was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?”

Jesus turns the question around.

Defining ‘neighbour’ is not important; being a neighbour is what’s important.

Given everything in the news these days, I wonder how we are faring.

Literacy for Life:

From the Classroom to the Community What is your role?

Admission Includes a light breakfast

Literacy is integrated into everything we do. Whether reading a recipe, balancing a checkbook, or completing a workplace report, having functional literacy skills is essential. For most of us, these activities are simple and routine; however, for about 35% of our working age population these activities pose a challenge. Low literacy is a reality in our community.

Learn how basic, workplace, health, and financial literacy skills - if not adequate - affect day to day living of individuals and ultimately our community. By working together to find solutions, we can improve the strength and vitality of our community and those who reside here.

Going over winter garden checklist I

hate to be the first person to say the ‘W’ word out loud, but even the most shortsighted among us would have noticed the biting cold winds, snow-dusted mountains and tell-tale Christmas decorations popping up in the mall.

That said, we have really enjoyed an extended summer this year and it Gardening Mike Lascelle looks like we may just bypass autumn altogether and go straight into winter.

Which means that you may not have a lot of time to get things organized in your garden.

With that in mind, here is your helpful winter checklist: • Cut that shaggy lawn –if your lawn is looking a bit long, you probably want to give it one last cut before winter. Grass that is left too tall and falls over in the rain is quite prone to fungal diseases. You can also add some lime now to raise the soil pH and discourage the growth of moss.

• Winterize tender plants – this sneaky winter weather is particularly hard on marginally hardy plants, such as windmill palms (trachycarpus fortunei), hardy bananas (musa ‘basjoo’) and gunnera. So now is the time to mulch those root systems, cover those tender crowns and slip-on those banana sleeves. Any delay may result in permanent damage from potential cold snaps.

• Rake and compost leaves – remember to rake and compost those falling leaves so

You should also take the opportunity to clean and sterilize your now empty nesting trays using warm water and a mild bleach solution.

• Store hoses – storing your hose after it has frozen up can be a difficult process (it’s usually impossible to unscrew) and it almost always leads to watery mess in the garage.

It’s best to drain and store it now and do the same winterizing for the outdoor taps.

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.

Collection 45 pairs up with Vancouver Contemporary Art Gallery

Indulging your artistic side In partnership with the Vancouver Contemporary Art Gallery, Collection 45 is introducing Art Studio 45, a studio facility that will give a local artist an amazing opportunity.

Collection 45 is a condominium building in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighbourhood featuring studio, oneand two-bedroom homes.

Now, a space will be set aside in the building for one artist to have an art studio where he or she can work.

“We wanted to promote contemporary art within the community,” says Ameet Johal, marketing director for Fifth Avenue Marketing.

“We consider the homes to be like a piece of art,” she says, adding, “The residents are all very design-savvy people.”

The artist will be chosen by the executive director of the VCAG, Nigel Prince, and then will hold the studio space for one year.

“They will put a panel together, call for submissions with some requirements, and then make a decision,” on who the artist will be, Johal says.

The artist will be able to take possession of their studio in late 2013.

For more information about the art initiative, visit www.collection45.com.

have your own little piece of the outdoors.

Bluetree has also provided 1,800 square feet of amenity space for its homeowners, including a fitness room and lounge with a full kitchen and bathroom.

“We are committed to delivering an extraordinary home-buying experience from beginning to end,” says Kasahara.

“We come from ParkLane Homes and its 30-plus years of award-winning

customer satisfaction. Bluetree’s Customer Care program will build on this tradition of ensuring a long-term commitment to our customers, long after the keys are handed over.”

Homes start at $199,900. For more information, visit www.bluetreehomes. ca or call 604-939-8874. The Bluetree Home Store is located at 1020 Austin Ave. beside Cyclone Taylor Sports and is open between 12 and 5 p.m. every day.

Vibrant neighbourhood in Coquitlam

Bluetree brings a French feel to Mackin Park

By Kerry Vital

Bluetree Homes is bringing modern style to a heritage neighbourhood with its newest project, Bluetree Homes at Mackin Park.

“There are lots of options for buyers in the Coquitlam area,” says Yosh Kasahara, general manager of sales and marketing for Bluetree Homes. “What we can offer here is the best value for the dollar in this market. You simply cannot find a comparably appointed home in a location this good, built by a developer with a stellar track record, all for this price.”

Bluetree Homes at Mackin Park is located in the heart of Maillardville, a walkable, village-like community with a rich sense of history.

“The building will serve as a new landmark for this community that already has so much going for it,” says Kasahara. “In addition to shopping, restaurants, parks and other amenities within walking distance, it has a vibrant past rooted in its French-Canadian heritage.”

Top-rated schools, including some with French programs, are also within walking distance of the homes at Mackin Park, so the area is as great for

young families as it is for professional couples and downsizers.

The inspired design at Mackin Park starts with the exterior of the building.

“The French-inspired architecture of the building is a nod to its past while also artfully combining modern elements to create a building that would look just as at home in Montreal as it would in Paris,” says Kasahara.

The one-and two-bedroom low-rise apartments are spacious and inviting, with floorplans ranging between 548 and 1,013 square feet.

The high-end finishings include stainless-steel appliances and engineered stone countertops in the kitchens, complemented by a hand-set marble tile backsplash and chic squareline two-tone laminate cabinetry.

Kasahara says the homes will feature several space-saving innovations, including built-in mirrored cabinets in the bathrooms, and spice racks and pull-out pantry drawers in the kitchens.

Every home includes its own private patio or balcony, so you will always

“

The building will serve as a new landmark for this community,” says Yosh Kasahara, general manager of sales and marketing.

Local tourism ‘on edge of exploding’ Black Press

B.C.’s tourism industry is a leader in provincial job growth as businesses look to fill 101,000 new job openings by 2020,

according to a study of labour demand and supply by go2, the B.C. tourism industry’s human resource association.

The Tourism Labour Market Strategy, released

in the spring of 2012 by go2, sets out the plan to recruit, retain and train the workers needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry.

101,000 openings will be new jobs created by the tourism industry across the province, adding 44,220 more jobs to the provincial workforce by 2020.

The other approximately 57,000 openings are due to replacements.

In Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, those jobs are going to come from creating clusters of unique visitor experiences, like the WildPlay element park in Maple Ridge, near Alouette Lake and Golden Ears campgrounds, says Kristina Gervais, executive director of Tourism Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows.

“We are kind of on the edge of exploding. There’s lots of opportunity here.”

Gervais arrived at her post two years ago, just as the Golden Ears and Pitt River bridges were opening.

At first, visitors were asking her where Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows were?

The second year, they asked what can they do here?

Now they are asking what career opportunities are here?

She is working with economic development offices to develop such opportunities, and sees them in ticketed experiences, such as the gondola ride or bear tours in Whistler, even bungee jumping.

She also sees opportunity in agri-tourism, with farm tours or events like the Feast of Fields event at Golden Ears Cheesecrafters.

“Food is the new wine.

People want to go right to where you bake it, grow it,” Gervais said.

To that end, “More tourists bring more attractions, which bring more jobs.”

Gervais added that the tourism office is currently looking for a marketing coordinator.

“We are in the early stages, but growing every day.”

The fastest growing sectors for tourism job growth over the next decade are expected to be recreation and entertainment and travel services.

There are an estimated 17,943 tourism-related businesses across the province, employing about 260,000 workers, or 10.8 per cent of B.C.’s total labour force of 2.4 million people.

“The tourism industry often provides people with their important first job and sets them on their career path,” said Arlene Keis, CEO of go2. “Tourism is also the largest employer of youth, with one in four British Columbians under the age of 24 working in the industry.”

VICTORIA – Attorney General Shirley Bond has launched a new court management system designed to improve efficiency and cut down the backlog of criminal cases.

The changes are based on a review of the system conducted by lawyer Geoffrey Cowper, which analyzed a “culture of delay” that resists change. Cowper concluded the problem is partly because there is an incentive, particularly for defence lawyers, to delay cases, and no system for enforcing timely hearings of evidence.

“During the review there was a general sense that judges and lawyers have their own, insulated sense of what constitutes timeliness and responsiveness,” Cowper wrote in his report, released in September.

Bond announced the first phase of changes, including the establishment of a new oversight organization.

“The Justice and Public Safety Council will be asked to publish performance measures, and we’re going to look at designing and determining what those measures are, and there will be targets attached to them,” Bond said.

Samiran Lakshman, president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association, welcomes the changes to a system that has prosecutors in some communities overwhelmed.

“Not every courthouse has a delay problem,” Lakshman said. “We have acute delay issues in the busiest courthouse in the province, which is Surrey, as well as places like Fort St. John, Nanaimo and Richmond.”

In Surrey, he said it currently takes 14 months or more to schedule a half a day for a brief trial. Defendants who have waited 18 months or more can apply for and often receive a stay of proceedings because their case has taken too long.

Both Lakshman and NDP justice critic Leonard Krog have repeatedly pointed to a reduction of 16 provincial court judges since 2005. Lakshman said the recent imposition of a government-wide hiring freeze has slowed the replacement of prosecutors, sheriffs and court clerks, because each new hire requires approval from the head of the public service.

Bond has questioned why waiting time in courts goes up even when the crime rate and the number of new cases declines. She says it should not take an average of seven appearances in court before a criminal case goes to trial.

In his report, Cowper noted that 98 per cent of criminal cases end with a guilty plea or a stay of proceedings, but the system treats all cases as if they are going to trial. He said the number of new cases dropped sharply last year as most impaired driving charges were replaced with roadside suspensions, and now is at the same level as the early 1990s.

“The current rules were the result of a wholesale change made over a decade ago to involve judges more actively in the pre-trial phase of proceedings to encourage early resolution and reduce the high proportion of cases that collapse on the first day of trial,” Cowper wrote.

Eric Langton Elementary Celebrates New Accessible Playground

Community Resource Fair a great success!

The Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Katzie Community Resource Fair in the Haney Place Mall attracted over 50 participants from community organizations and businesses that provide health, safety and wellness services to children, families, adults and seniors. The Resource Fair is presented by the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows & Katzie Community Network, Fall Prevention Society and the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association. The event attracted everyone from toddlers to seniors and their families. The Raging Grannies entertained and the Shriner Clowns were a huge hit for children with their balloon sculptures.

This annual event provides an opportunity for the public to get to know what services are available in the communities and for community organizations and businesses to publicize their services. All exhibitors provided activities for children, games of chance and the community policing provided opportunities for all to examine police vehicles up close. Several hundred people participated in the fun and informative event.

The organizers look forward to another successful Community Resource Fair next year.

Eric Langton Elementary and the surrounding community celebrated the first accessible playground in the downtown of Maple Ridge on October 24.

The playground features inclusive play pieces, including various wheelchair accessible interactive reach panels and ramps and a Rollerslide that provides children with a unique sensory experience. Most importantly, the new playground encourages children of all abilities to play together.

Fundraising for the new playground had gone on for years by the students, parents and staff through bake sales, plant sales and special events. Eric Langton was able to raise a total of $115,000 with notable donations from the Ministry of Education ($50,000) and Meadow Ridge Rotary Club ($35,000). Several community service groups also made generous donations, including Kiwanis Club of Golden Ears and the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary Branch No. 88.

Gregory rink takes share of 1st staff reporter

Terry Gregory’s rink grabbed a share of first place in Haney Masters’ Curling League with a solid victory over Ron Laxdal’s rink last Wednesday.

Gregory, along with Hilly Boonstra, Walter Vesa and Peter England ran their record to 5-1 to move into a tie with Jack Stadel (5-2) and Wayne Chin (5-2) as the Fall Competition reached the halfway mark.

Chin’s rink, consisting of Mike Murgatroyd (third), Roger Fast (second) and Dwight Schneider (lead) had a great opportunity to move into sole possession of first place but suffered a narrow 7-6 loss to Peter Koehler’s rink. Chin tried to come back from a 7-5 deficit in the final end but his final shot came up short as his rink suffered only their second loss of the season.

Meanwhile, led by third Bob MacKay, second Bob Cocking and Don Svelander at lead, Stadel quietly kept a share of the lead with an easy victory over Bill Gardner’s rink.

Knights 6-2 with win The Meadow Ridge Knights prevailed over Naniamo in Valley Community Football League action, winning 17-7 on the road Saturday afternoon. The win improves the midget Knights to 6-2 this season, giving them a share of second place in the province.

Also in action last weekend was the Meadow Ridge Gold Knights peewee squad, who blanked the Chilliwack Blue Giants 24-0 on the road. The Gold Knights are currently in second place in the peewee division with a record of 6-2.

Ridge Meadows forward Michael Nolan (No. 6, centre) falls to the ice after getting checked by Matthew Dawson and Alex Martin of the Delta Ice Hawks Tuesday night at the Ladner Leisure Centre. The Ice Hawks won the game 2-1 in overtime despite the 49-save effort of Flames backup goalie RJ Bruni.

Flames pick up point in Delta Ridge Meadows pick up five of six points against PJHL’s top three teams

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

The Ridge Meadows Flames may not have come away with two points Tuesday against the first-place Delta Ice Hawks, but they again proved they can hang with the best teams in junior B hockey league.

The Flames lost 2-1 in overtime in Delta, earning a point despite getting outshot 51-18.

In the past three games, the Flames have taken five of a possible six points against the top three teams in the Pacific Junior Hockey League: Delta (25 points); Richmond (21 points); and Abbotsford (15 points).

For Flames coach Jamie Fiset, it’s a sign his team is on the right track after a 1-4 start to the season.

“It’s always nice to get a point on the road, especially against a team like Delta,” he said. “We like where we’re at right now.”

A misconduct given to Flames’ starting goalie Wes McLeod late in Friday’s win over Richmond kept him out of the lineup Tuesday, but Flames backup R.J. Bruni performed admirably in net, stopping 49 of 51 shots and earning the game’s first-star honours.

“We really showed us what he can do,” said Fiset. “We thought all along he had this in him, but he proved he can be a big-game player, and against the most potent offense in the league.”

The Flames managed to keep the Ice Hawks off the scoreboard until midway through the second period, when Delta opened the scoring with a goal from Marc Letourneau.

The Ice Hawks threw everything they had at Bruni, outshooting the Flames 22-5 in the third period alone.

Despite the lopsided shots, it was the Flames who would score in the third, with Matthew Bissett capitalizing on a power play to notch his seventh goal of the season, and stretch his point streak to six games.

Bissett’s goal at 12:55 tied the game, and despite Delta’s best efforts, the two teams finished regulation knotted at a goal apiece.

However, the teams would

not remain deadlocked for long, as the Ice Hawks scored on their first shot of overtime, just over two minutes into the extra frame, to give them the victory and the Flames a consolation point.

Picking up assists for the Flames were Sean Pesut and Ryan Lisowsky.

Fiset said he was especially happy with the defensive effort of Lisowsky and Max Metzner.

“They must have blocked or deflected 10 or 15 shots each,” he said. “They’re putting their bodies on the line, and that’s what it takes to beat the top teams.

The Flames are still a game below .500, but have managed to pull ahead of Aldergrove, Mission and Port Moody to take sole possession of second place in the Harold Brittain Conference.

With 10 points, the Flames now sit five points behind the

conference-leading Abbotsford Pilots, and hold a game in hand.

The Flames will have another difficult challenge this Friday, when the host the North Delta Devils, the hottest team in the PJHL and currently riding a five-game win streak.

Fiset said his team is looking to avenge a 6-1 loss to the Devils last month.

“We had a good first 10 minutes, then we went to sleep for the next 50 and they spanked us pretty bad,” he said. “We’re looking forward to showing them what we can really do.”

Game time The Ridge Meadows Flames host the North Delta Devils on Friday at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge.

Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Obesity epidemic needs creative solutions

FROM

O

besity is a persistent and spiralling health problem that has become a mounting economic concern, and the North American statistics have become more alarming every year.

Obesity is associated with hypertension, stroke, coronary heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, certain types of cancer and a plethora of internal organ diseases. According to a variety Kinected of studies, two thirds of the U.S. Kerry Senchyna population is now either overweight or obese and Canadians are not far behind.

These surveys also cite an even more alarming trend in those less than five years old: one quarter of kids in this age group are overweight or obese.

In Canada the number of obese kids has tripled since 1987. The data also shows the heaviest individuals are twice as heavy as they were 10 years ago. The obesity related costs to the health system in the U.S. alone were $147 billion just four years ago and have gotten worse since then.

Days ago, the Ontario Medical Association proposed not only increasing tax on junk food and lowering taxes on healthy foods, but advocated labelling unhealthy foods with visual warnings similar to those found on cigarette packaging. The expected, typical objections arose from the lobbyists in the food industry with cries of everything from increased labelling expenses to penalizing poor people with higher taxes.

There also seems to be a sort of embedded cultural celebration of excess in the ability of people to eat such outrageous food as deep fried chocolate bars or Rochester, New York’s famous ‘trash plate,’ which consists of French fries, cheeseburgers, pasta salad, macaroni and cheese, baked beans and extra cooking grease piled high on a single plate, just daring your arteries to say uncle.

The accusation that taxing fast food is just penalizing poor people is unfounded. Certainly fast food would be a little more expensive, but the OMA is recommending cutting the tax on healthy food and therefore making it more affordable. For a given calorie count, you get much more food volume (not to mention nutrients) with fruits and vegetables than you do with fast food. That is because fast food is calorie-dense and so if you eat until you are full you have ingested a huge number of calories, most of which go straight into storage as fat. Labelling costs should not be any higher since packaging is already crammed full of advertising. Cigarette manufacturers have managed this.

Lack of exercise and poor eating habits both contribute to the obesity epidemic and we have to make a better effort at both. Taxes and packaging changes along with anti-smoking advertising campaigns have helped to continue to reduce the number of young smokers and there is no real reason to think that the OMA’s proposal would not have a positive effect.

Kerry Senchyna holds a bachelor of science degree in kinesiology and is owner of West Coast Kinesiology.

Though your body had to leave us and your spirit rose so high Your love fills up our hearts, no need for a full goodbye

I still hear your voice on warm summer nights; Whispering like the wind.

I saw your sweet smile, I heard your laughter, You’re still here beside me every day.

‘Cause I know you by heart.
