The gate at the Ceed Centre on 223rd Street is now locked.

CeeDs of discontent neighbour feuding with society over homelessness

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

You might not describe them as the best of neighbours.

For Port Haney resident Tyler Ducharme, the Community Education on Environment and Development Centre on 223rd Street is “cupcakes and sprinkles … unless you’re living beside the place.

“It was an absolute hell this summer, just non-stop crazy.”

Ducharme is fed up after living just to the west of the centre for the past nine years.

He says the district-owned lot attracts the homeless or drug addicted who find the fenced grounds a cosy place to set up camp in the evening after the community and environmental programs in the old school house wrap up for the night.

“We get the full brunt when it turns into a camp,” Ducharme says.

People are sleeping for “weeks on end” at the centre, either in the front or behind.

“It was an absolute gong show.”

He aired his complaints at council on Tuesday and says the CEED Centre causes more problems than the nearby Maple Ridge Treatment Centre or the One-Way Club for alcoholics. see CEED, p8

William Norton is worried about water seeping onto his property from the Pitt River, on the other side of the dike behind his house.

No deal yet in drainage suit Man who sued city says engineers refuse to sign off on dike work

by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter

A man who lost a lawsuit against Pitt Meadows for a drainage problem on his property has been unable to reach a settlement with the city.

William Norton and the city’s lawyers can’t agree on what constitutes “reasonable expenses.”

Since they are unable to reach an

agreement, provincial court judge Thomas Woods will have to make the decision for them.

The city wants Norton to cover court costs up to $11,000, a large chunk of which is an engineering report. Norton has agreed to pay for half of the engineering report, which amounts to around $4,000, but also wants the engineers, who designed and constructed the dike, to sign a “comfort letter” that states: the construction of the McQuarrie Road ramp and dike conform to accepted engineering practice and provincial standards “specifically the removal of internal runoff and seepage water to protect the necessary infrastruc-

ture and private property.”

The city is refusing to sign the letter, hence the stalemate.

“I don’t understand why they won’t sign it,” said Norton, noting his request isn’t unusual since all city dikes must comply with provincial standards.

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

Norton, who owns High Country Outfitters, lost the lawsuit because he failed to prove the municipality’s improvements to a dike in 2007 increased the flow of water onto his McQuarrie Rd. property, to the point where it

damaged his septic tank.

The dike improvements were done in preparation for an unusually high spring freshet in 2007 that came with the threat of a flood.

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 said he needs the city engineer to sign off on its dike improvements in order to sell his property, located at 18681 McQuarrie Road. see Drainage, p5

Amanda’s mother excluded from summit Province says experts advised them not to include Carol Todd

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

The province is defending its decision not to invite Amanda Todd’s mother to an anti-bullying conference organized after her daughter’s death.

In a conference call, Education Minister Don McRae explained the decision was made after consulting with two experts – Theresa Campbell, from Safer Schools Together in Surrey, and Kevin Cameron, with the Canadian Centre for Threat Assessment & Trauma Response, who worked with the Alberta government following a tragic school shooting in Taber.

“We talked to these individuals and they expressed a concern that if Mrs. Todd would attend ... that the risk for unintended consequence was there,” said McRae. When asked to elaborate on what those “unintended consequences” might be, McRae pointed to copycat suicides.

“I just didn’t want a scenario where a young person causes harm to him or herself,” he said.

“I just couldn’t live with myself if there were unintended consequences.”

McRae also spoke to Amanda’s mother, Carole Todd, Wednesday morning, and set up a meeting next Monday to debrief her on the ERASE Bullying Summit.

The goal of the summit, spearheaded by Premier Christy Clark, was to bring people together to

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Carol Todd agreed not to go to the summit because it was clear she was not invited, although she wanted to observe. discuss innovative ways to address bullying and safety in schools and communities.

It was also a response to the suicide of Todd’s daughter, a teen who documented her struggles with bullies online and at school in a YouTube video that’s now been viewed more than 20 million times.

Barbara Coloroso, who was at the summit, told CKNW Radio that four other families who lost children to suicide following bullying

were invited to the conference.

Todd acknowledged she agreed last week not to go to the summit, but only because it was evident that she was not invited. She had only asked to attend as an observer, not a speaker.

Todd took to Twitter to express her dismay after people wondered why she was not present.

“They thought my presence there would upset some students,” she said.

“That’s the perception I got ... it is

a shame that I was excluded from the forum.”

Cameron, one of the experts advising the province on its Erase Bullying strategy, also spoke to media Wednesday to explain his advice.

He stressed that there was no intention to exclude Todd. If she had expressed a desire to be at the summit, organizers would have accommodated her request.

Cameron, a certified expert in traumatic stress, noted that parents

Campaign to make social media safe Red Hood Project seeks to address security gaps online, onus on service providers

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

A grassroots movement to make social media sites such as Facebook safe for kids has started in B.C. Spearheaded by Sandy Garossino, a former Crown prosecutor and civic activist, the campaign seeks to address security gaps in major social media sites that expose children and young teens to risk to predators and abusers online.

Named for Red Riding Hood and her encounter with a wolf, The Red Hood Project is the first of campaign to put the onus on industry to institute measures to secure online safety.

Garossino and more than 20 other British Columbians have signed a letter imploring social media giants, including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, for change.

“While educating kids to be Internet savvy is very important, it’s not enough,” said Raffi Cavoukian, a popular children’s entertainer who founded the Centre For Child Honouring, based on Salt Spring Island.

“Parents can’t adequately supervise their kids to be fully safe.”

Raffi signed the letter because he too believes it is an issue of consumer protection.

“It’s a point I’ve not heard anybody else make. I jumped at the chance to call for a systemic remedy to keeps our kids safe, one that is a responsibility of billion dollar companies like Facebook.”

The death of a teenager who grew in Port Coquitlam and Maple Ridge was the impetus for the Red Hood Project.

Amanda Todd was contacted and blackmailed through Facebook by an adult predator, who

impersonated local teens to enter her circles of friends.

In Grade 7, she revealed herself online to a cyber predator, who proceeded to blackmail and stalk her with a screen shot he took of her indiscretion.

Todd, 15, took her own life in September a month after posting a video that chronicled the mistakes she made online and the years of bullying that followed.

Her video has since gone viral.

Todd’s death, however, revealed a sinister community of sexual extortionists, known as “cappers,” who target teens just like her.

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.

They even celebrated their exploits in a nowdefunct animated newscast, in which awards were handed out for “capper of the year,” “camwhore of the year” and “blackmailer of the year.”

who experience high-profile trauma may say they want to be present and attend events, but often regret their decision after the fact.

“My counsel, which was followed, by the way, was to meet with Mrs. Todd beforehand and to really discuss the issues around what her presence at this type of a forum could have on both her and on those who are participating,” Cameron explained.

He also understands why Todd may have changed her mind about attending the summit after she spoke to Ministry of Education staff last week.

“The struggle with a parent who is this close to the tragedy is that they sometimes get it and sometimes they don’t,” said Cameron, adding summit organizers wanted to avoid turning it into a forum for trauma response and “intense reaction” that could have impacted some of the participants. The Erase Bullying summit, the first of many, was meant to focus on bullying and the first step in a five-year plan to stem bullying in B.C. Cameron praised the province for putting in place a long-term strategy.

“It’s the first time I’ve been involved with a government that’s committed to more than six months or a year,” he said.

Resources • ERASEBullying.ca provides vital information, links and tips for parents and students.

• ReportBullyingBC.ca provides students a secure and anonymous way to report instances of bullying, threats and other safety concerns.

Todd’s mother Carol has signed the Red Hood Project’s letter.

Raffi’s Centre for Child Honouring promotes a children-first approach to healing communities and restoring ecosystems and he believes it can applies to changes online, as well.

If you look at the most pressing societal issues through the lens of how is it going to impact children, that’s the best way to come up with solutions that make for a better society, he explains.

“I think, in this case, with social media, I am practically certain they weren’t thinking of young people using it,” he says.

The Red Hood Project believes a grassroots groundswell will prompt change.

“We will be heard at some point,” Raffi says.

Car Care Conservatives, NDP debate trade deal with China COOLANT SYSTEM The coolant system of your vehicle will last longer, trouble free, if you maintain it. This will save you lots of Canadian Pesos (I mean dollars).

I will begin by attempting to explain how it all works so that you can make up your own mind based on your new found knowledge.

Engine coolant travels thru many dissimilar metals and synthetic materials such as hoses and plastic header tanks in radiators and heater cores. It does this at varying temperatures driven by a belt or gear drive mechanical pump usually running at or near engine rpm. Coolant acts like an electrolyte and allows current to flow between the engine block(cast iron) and radiator(aluminum). This in turn creates internal corrosion which we refer to as electrochemical degradation. This is commonly referred to as hydrolysis, which we measure by testing the PH level. Hydrolysis is the main culprit in all coolant system problems. This eventually causes microcracks to form inside hoses and radiators which result in pin hole leaks.

All of this damage I have mentioned starts from the inside and works it way out. By the time the average vehicle owner notices something is wrong it is usually to late. It takes an experienced eye to look for the telltale signs to catch this type of damage before it becomes a major problem.

For example, if you inspect your radiator core and you notice a green color dusting or slime build up, called green death in the auto repair profession, your radiator is rotten and will need replacement very soon.

The one common denominator to the coolant system is the 50/50 mix of antifreeze to water which we refer to as coolant. The longer you leave coolant in the vehicle you increase the risk of incorrect pH levels(too acidic or too alkali) which will accelerate and lead to coolant system corrosion.

Aluminum components(radiator, heater core, cylinder heads, intake manifolds) will pit and flake. These flakes will enter the coolant solution remaining in suspension until they reach a “cooler” area such as the bottom of a radiator or heater core. These flakes will drop out of the solution and build up until the system is clogged. This is known as transport depositing and is deadly to an aluminum component coolant system (1994 and newer).

With this information about the cause you now need to know what is the cure. The answer is a simple matter of common sense. Maintenance by a certified automotive technician. A trained professional knows the What’s, Where’s When’s and Why’s of your entire car and how the coolant system fits into the big picture. The big picture being the computer controlled engine management system, which relies heavily on the input sensor called the coolant temperature sensor. Do not entrust your vehicle, money or safety to anyone less that a licenced automotive technician. Your vehicle will thank you.... and your wallet.

their disputes resolved.

Besides, Canada is now part of a group including New Zealand, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Japan, who have all signed investment treaties with China on similar or less favourable terms, says the representative for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission.

“This is very classic Randy Kamp,” said NDPer Elizabeth Rosenau.

“By making a statement like that [other countries have signed similar agreements], he’s relying on people’s ignorance to believe it.”

The new trade pact just signed with China will let Canada compete globally and create jobs at home, the local MP says in defence of the deal.

“It establishes a clear set of rules under which investments are made and under which investment disputes are resolved,” Randy Kamp says in a submission to The News.

with Cyril Barry

Who has the time to research that, she asked.

Rosenau says the Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement, soon to be ratified, is proof that the Conservative policy of low corporate taxes isn’t working.

Companies are not investing those tax savings in the Canadian economy and Canada is allowing that money to be invested “in an economy where people are treated pretty close to being slaves.”

She adds that the government’s “free market fundamentalism” is

“absurd” when it allows stated-owned companies from Communist countries to take over control of resources.

“I think that our federal government should have an energy strategy that ensures that our resources will be used to meet the needs of our own citizens well into the future.”

Rosenau is also concerned about the agreement allowing Chinese companies to sue the government if regulations interfere with profits, pointing out that’s happened in some European countries, costing millions in

taxpayer dollars.

She says the Conservatives have been gutting environmental protection laws so that if a future government tried to strengthen the laws on the environment, the Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement would prevent that.

“We’re going to be held for ransom by them because we’re not going to be able to change them.

They’re attempting to govern far beyond their mandate in an area that is very dear to the rest of us.”

‘Dispute resolution should be open’ FIPA from p4

Kamp, though, says the agreement does not “restrict Canada’s ability to regulate and legislate in areas such as the environment, culture, safety, health and conservation” – but he does not cite references to substantiate that.

And he says the agreement is the first that China has signed that “expressly includes language on transparency of dispute settlement proceedings.”

Kamp said it’s “Canada’s long-standing policy that all dispute resolution should be open to the public and that the sub-

missions by the parties be made available to the public.”

But he doesn’t say if where in the agreement or how it ensures that public dispute resolution will take place. He only says that decisions of arbitration panels would be made public.

According to Article 26 of FIPA, tribunal hearings will follow those set out by the UN Commission on International Trade Law, which says hearings will take place in secret, unless the parties agree otherwise.

He points out that Canada also will be able to review foreign investments

under the Investment Canada Act to ensure they provide a net benefit to Canadians. Under the treaty, “Chinese investors in Canada must obey all of the laws and regulations of Canada, just as any Canadian must.”

Kamp said the CanadaChina FIPA was tabled on Sept. 26, prior to its formal ratification. The Conservatives first introduced that policy, requiring treaties to be table in the House for 21 days before ratification, he pointed out.

Since then, Opposition parties have been given four “Opposition days,” when they can debate is-

sues of their own choosing. But the NDP and Liberals haven’t done so, he said.

Rosenau said Conservative-dominated committees in Ottawa make that difficult to do because often discussion goes behind closed doors, and the Opposition didn’t have enough time to react to huge amounts of legislation.

“How quickly can you react to that?”

She said people need time to digest such legislation.

The Canada-China FIPA hasn’t yet received cabinet approval and has yet to come into force.

‘Spending necessary to protect taxpayers’ Drainage from front

It was listed for sale at $1.2 million in September.

Any potential buyer would want the assurance that the dike isn’t causing drainage problems on his property.

“Without signing off on it, I don’t think the engineering work is worth the paper it’s writing on,” said Norton.

He also wonders why the city has spent so much money fighting the small claims suit. Norton noted the city hired ISL Engineering and a hydrologist, in addition to lawyers.

In B.C., Small Claims Court is the place people go to settle legal disputes for civil cases worth less than $25,000.

The city, though, believes it was necessary to protect its taxpayers.

“With any claim, whether it comes as a law suit or a simple request to pay for damaged property, the key factor is whether the city is liable for the damage,”said Pitt Meadows director of finance Dean Rear.

“It is important for any public entity providing stewardship of taxpayer resources to ensure that it

doesn’t accept responsibility when it is not liable. In this case, the city and its insurers clearly felt it was not liable and needed to defend itself. It was accepted by the court that the dike had no effect on the drainage of the property.”

Rear could not say exactly how much has been spent on legal fees thus far, but the deducible for the city’s liability insurance policy is $10,000, and he confirmed that has been expended by the city.

Norton and the city are set to appear in front of Judge Woods in December.

Zoos are archaic Another exotic creature has died at the Greater Vancouver Zoo in Aldergrove.

Jafari, a 12-year-old male giraffe, was found dead inside its barn on Nov. 3.

It is the third giraffe to perish at the zoo, after Jafari’s mate Eleah, 23, and their male offspring, Amryn, 4, died last year.

It’s not yet known what caused Jafari’s death, although initial necropsy results seem to rule out low body fat and cold temperatures, as some initially thought.

The investigation continues.

In each instance of the giraffes’ demise, public reaction has included sadness, concern, and in some cases, harsh criticism of the facility, which has had a disturbing string of deaths among its animal inhabitants over the past several years, including a hippo and four zebras.

Negligence was not found to have been a factor in the deaths of the creatures.

However, the fact of the matter is that exotic creatures found only in climates and countries vastly different than what exists here, are being imprisoned for the entertainment and “education” of people.

It is an archaic practice that must come to an end.

Species such as elephants, giraffes and big jungle cats are intended to roam across vast expanses of terrain.

Education can no longer be used as an excuse to put them inside enclosures and cages, where they languish – and are ogled by people – until they die.

Neither is it justification to say they were born in captivity. As long as zoos allow the animals to breed, the cycle will never end.

The point is that wild animals don’t belong in zoos.

The villain behind sockeye decline The Cohen Inquiry into the disappearance of Fraser River sockeye says there’s ‘no smoking gun’ to explain the stock’s continuous decline.

“To think of a cause as a single entity,” says Cohen, hinders our focus on “remedial action” and “understandAlong the Fraser ing the issues.”

Instead, Cohen iden- Jack Emberly tifies several smoking guns and explains the full impact each has on wild fish.

Firstly, there’s the DFO’s conflict of interest. Cohen says,“DFO should no longer be responsible for promoting salmon farming” because “there is a risk it will act in a manner that favours the interests of the salmon farming industry.”

Open-pen fish farms, an obvious smoking gun, are a source of lice and viruses – deadly for wild salmon. They don’t belong in the path of migrating sockeye, concludes Cohen.

But, the highest-caliber smoking gun, the one concealed behind a grassy knoll – Bill C-38 – is the Harper government’s rewriting of laws for habitat protection.

“I find the thrust of these amendments to be troubling,” writes Cohen. “Many experts have emphasized the importance of protecting fish habitat, promoting biodiversity and adopting eco-system management practices. However, the recent amendments of the F.A. appear to be taking the

Q

uestion of the week:

DFO in a different direction.”

The public’s disapproval of that “different direction”– away from protecting salmon and towards oil and gas development – is clear.

“I was impressed with how passionate British Columbians are about protecting our wild sockeye stocks,”notes Cohen.

Early evidence of Harper’s new direction, and his plan for paving it over the wishes of Canadians, appears in Section 35 of the new Fisheries Act, originally meant to safeguarded habitat. Until reworded, it read, “no person shall carry on work or undertaking that results in harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat.”

“Destruction” and “disturbance” need no explanation, but this wording is now intentionally weakened by vague terms like “serious harm,” which invites debate by lawyers and judges. Henceforth, offences for “serious harm” to habitat may not make it to court anyway because the minister may intercept the process by citing “exceptions” in any complaint. He may also insert “qualifiers” to allow habitat damage to occur.

Before amendments,“no person” was allowed to commit a HADD. Now, notes Cohen, HADDs “may occur at the discretion of the Minister” under “prescribed conditions.”

Amendment to Section 36 is another get-out-of-jail free card for oil and gas developments, including Enbridge. Wording once kept the lid on deleterious substances entering habitat. Again, changes allow the minister to make “exceptions.” Cohen says

Would legalizing marijuana reduce organized crime in B.C.?

Yes: 56% – No: 44% (81 votes)

these include: the contribution of the relevant fish to the productivity of commercial, recreational, or Aboriginal fisheries; fisheries management objectives (promoting fish farms, for example).

Probable scenarios? A farmer lays irrigation pipe in a stream that fish live in. He upturns the bank, and machinery leaks oil into the water. Under the amendments, the farmer could successfully argue he needed water to save his crops, and the fish affected were of no “economic value.”

Imagine a student insisting he ‘had to’ steal a lunch because he was hungry, and the other kid’s food wasn’t worth much.

We’ve lost salmon if that thinking stands, and our moral path.

More bad amendments occur within the Environmental Assessment Act. Cohen notes the CEAA, 2012, says“not all designated projects will require assessment” and screening on projects that could impact the environment will no longer be performed by DFO staff, but by a review panel established by the Ministries involved.

And, as with the Enbridge pipeline, final approval rests with cabinet. Not very reassuring for habitat, especially when anyone expressing concerns has only 20 days to prepare after public posting of the project.

Cohen summarizes amendments to the Species at Risk Act, a smoking gun. These changes threaten whole runs of sockeye identified by DFO in its Wild Salmon Policy – a project to identify and sustain sockeye within 20-30 “conservation units.”

Cohen urges DFO to implement the policy now.

The News/letters online comments Pipelines relatively safe • Rick Halas · Works at The Tri-City News: Re: Pipelines key to our economy (mapleridgenews.com).

Quite aside from our immediate transportation needs, oil is embedded into almost everything that we purchase, from food to clothing, shelter, our ubiquitous electronics, and on and on. As well, the revenue derived from the sale of our oil to the rest of the world pays for our health care, our roads, our military, our education, our retirement. Fully 40 per cent of Canadian exports are commodities resources, of which a majority is oil.

The use and export of oil is pretty much the foundation of the Canadian economy, and realistically, that of the rest of the world, and we are in the enviable position of having lots of it. At this moment in time, countries such as Greece would dearly love to have something of value to sell to the world to bring in much needed income to their country.

As for the argument that the oil is “just for export to China” – as if that were a bad thing. As stated above, this brings Canada much needed revenue and it pays for things that we don’t produce here – it’s called trade, and it has been going on between countries for thousands of years. Canada, and the rest of the ‘developed’ world owe our very prosperity to the abundance of cheap energy, of which oil is the primary type. Who are we to deny these benefits to those countries that are more than happy to pay. Currently we sell almost all our petroleum products to the U.S. and they pay us a reduced rate (priced as ‘West Texas Intermediate’) for this material. We are exposed to the vagaries of a single export market. It is very much in Canada’s interest to diversify our markets as well to achieve world price (‘Brent Price’), which is substantially higher.

So, of course, we must transition to a lower-carbon economy. But to do so unilaterally or too hastily would be ruinous to our economy and all of our interests. I think pipelines are relatively efficient and safe in the grand scheme of things.

As an avid cyclist and indeed environmentally concerned, I think the best course to a ‘new’ low-carbon world is to diminish my personal consumption of oil in its myriad forms and to seek alternatives wherever possible – in transportation, in heating, electricity, food production, in lifestyle, in work/ housing location in demand for government services, but not to condemn its use and deny its marvellous benefits to those who seek them.

Act on recommendations Emberly from p6

DFO has delayed, perhaps because Harper is moving “in a different direction,” one illustrated by Cohen’s review of one CU, Cultus Lake Sockeye, Once a run of 20,000 fish harvested by Soowahlie First Nations for centuries, Cultus sockeye plummeted to 93 fish in the year 2000 (DFO numbers). They could have been saved by habitat remediation, an obligation of the minister when a species is listed in SARA. The law stated,“you may not kill, harass, or destroy the habitat of a listed species”(that kills them).

DFO directed SARA not to list these fish, or any henceforth, without balancing their survival against “socio-economic” factors as defined by Harper in amendments.

The new SARA has abandoned 197 species or more since amendments. In 2006, 13 environmental groups, including Nature Canada, the Suzuki Foundation and Forest Ethics, protested SARA’s failure to list or remediate threatened habitat.

Smoking guns? The secretive reworking of our laws to enable industry while advancing the destruction of habitat and salmon – slipped into law before Cohen could report – can’t be tolerated.

Cohen’s recommendations need to be acted on immediately. Failing to do so aggravates the insult to the inquiry process.

The central villain behind the decline of sockeye – the one holding most smoking guns – has always been the Harper government.

‘Technology just another tool’ Editor, The News: Re: Province to review grad requirements (The News, Nov. 7).

As a teacher-librarian in School District No. 42, I was offended by several points made in this article.

First of all, “The days of high school students regurgitating facts and figures ... ” have long been over.

For as long as I have been teaching (30-plus years), we have been encouraging students to use higher-order thinking in their work, including synthesizing information.

Secondly, when the superintendent says, “We go with what is easy to measure,” she is surely not talking about classroom teachers, but rather efforts at the ministry and district levels to use data drawn from standardized tests to measure student achievement (and, thus, teacher success).

Teachers actually use a variety of ways of measuring student success in ongoing assessment strategies, looking for growth over time (rather than a snapshot at a given point in the year).

Finally, the point about technology reducing the importance of rote memorization is simplistic.

Technology is simply another tool, not the only tool, students learn to use today.

When accessing the ‘Wild West’ of information available online, students must learn to determine if information is accurate, or if the author is an authority in the given field.

They must also learn to properly acknowledge the origins of the ideas and images represented in their work,

instead of simply cutting and pasting.

This is the job of teachers and teacher-librarians.

Furthermore, only families who can afford such a luxury put smart phones in the hands of their children.

The modern notion of ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) only works when families can afford them.

Because we offer a public school system, it is still necessary to have wellequipped schools, with highly qualified teachers and teacher-librarians to teach students the skills necessary to learn in a personalized environment.

No definition Editor, The News: Re: Province to review grad requirements (The News, Nov. 7).

The public should take note of two comments made in this article on the grad requirements review.

First, parents and students should be questioning the term “personalized learning,” as it is used by the current government and many local school district officials and trustees, when they refer to the B.C. Education Plan.

It may come as a surprise to parents, but the ministry and school districts do not actually have a working definition of personalized learning.

Teachers do have a definition and have always been personalizing lessons for their students.

Parents should be asking their local classroom teachers what personalized learning is and where it is being used

currently in their classroom to improve learning.

Parents and students should also go to BetterSchoolsBC for a look at a definitive plan as put forward by your classroom teachers to improve education in this province instead of relying on a vague plan from government.

The second comment of note in this article is found in the following quote from our local superintendent: “Memorizing facts and figures isn’t as important as it once was, now that we all have smart phones in our hands.”

I personally do not own a smart phone and I know most of the students in our district don’t have them either.

They are expensive and not everyone believes that this or the many other forms of technology are the beall and end-all to improving education.

It is comments like these that continue to perpetuate the false notion that ‘technology is king’.

In fact, the pedestal these tools are placed on by some demonstrates the great divide between the haves and have nots and does little to instill confidence in the government’s education plan.

It is disheartening to read such comments when we know our province has the highest child poverty rate in Canada and that many of our students cannot afford to purchase any technology, let alone expensive devices like smart phones, computers, or tablets.

Municipality encourages area ‘ghettoization’ Editor, The News: Re: Downtown is the place for help (The News, Nov. 14).

Despite all the self-congratulatory statements issued by do-gooders, municipal bureaucrats and members of municipal council, all of their supposed concern and hard work has done very little, if anything, about the social ills afflicting the downtown area and our neighbourhood.

Their combined efforts and concern have not in the slightest little way been of any comfort to many down-

town residents who feel war has been declared on the safety and sanctity of our neighbourhood.

It is interesting to note that only one or two of the defenders of the homeless, the drug dealers, the petty thieves and prostitutes and the surrounding problems live anywhere near the troubled community.

How many council members or city hall bureaucrats or other do-gooders live within a couple of miles of the intersection of 222nd Street and Lougheed High-

way?

And, if all the work supposedly being done to deal with the issues has had so little effect on improving things, is it possible that none of those involved in the do-gooder business know what they’re doing?

I have been unable to find even a single neighbourhood resident who can recall being consulted before this invasion of socially maladjusted people into our neighbourhood was allowed to take place.

Over the past decade, city

hall has encouraged the ghettoization of the downtown area (such as expansion of the treatment centre, the construction of Alouette Heights, undeterred proliferation of the drug trade and prostitution in our neighbourhood and a seeming disregard for the rights of the existing residents).

Something should be done, but I despair that those in power are totally incompetent to deal with the situation.

Transit can’t pick and choose who rides for free Editor, The News: I recently used B.C. Transit while my family was down visiting to go to a B.C. Lions game. We travelled from Maple Ridge to. B.C. Place Stadium.

I have heard that you need exact change, so we figured out what the cost would be. It was $20 even. So off we went.

To our surprise, the driver could not take bills. So we rode for free. Which actually makes me sick, as one

week prior, my son and his friend were denied access to the bus as they didn’t have exact change – 12 years old, and stuck in Port Coquitlam, when they live in Maple Ridge.

I had to go and pick them up. Not impressed.

I’m so shocked at this as all we ever hear is how hard done by B.C. Transit is, how its not making enough money. Well, you must have the technology to be able to ac-

cept money if you expect to make money.

I live in an area that there is no access to B.C. Transit, so I have never been a fan of it, as it is not accessible to all citizens, particularly those who really need it. If you live near town, you don’t need transit as much as those who do not live near town. Yet we only cover those who live close to town.

Now I hear that the park and ride lots will be charg-

ing for parking. Talk about deterring everyone from taking transit or carpooling. I feel if you want to make B.C. Transit work efficiently, start with accepting money from people that actually want to pay. And if you can’t deny access to people without exact change, don’t pick and choose which people you will let on and which ones you will leave crying on the sidewalk.

‘We share the same problems’ tion or social issues, and said for years the CEED Centre wouldn’t lock gates for the evening. It’s up to the district to better manage the property, he added.

Ducharme, a former candidate for council, said he has complained and the parks department has shown up, after which the activity would quiet down. But then the ruckus would resume.

The centre’s installation of locks on the gate in July helped, he said, adding he’s only had to call the police twice in the last month.

But CEED Centre executive-director Christian Cowley said when he first started with the centre eight years ago, he held a meeting with Ducharme, the Salvation Army and police to address home-

CEED from front

“We have been dealing with people living at the CEED Centre for years.”

Ducharme said in addition to people pitching their sleeping bags or tents and camping out, there’s violence and “at times, rabid drug use.”

Recently, when he was leaving for work, he saw one guy with a tent in the front, another tent in the back of the lot and two others fighting under the pagoda. He didn’t want to leave his wife alone for the day.

“It’s been 30 days since I was threatened with violence by somebody staying at the CEED Centre.”

Ducharme said he no longer talks with the CEED Centre society, adding he wants to focus on management of the property, not drug addic-

lessness around the centre.

“We share the same problems he has, so we’re interested in proper discussion with him.”

The society has moved a shed to improve visibility and removed fence panels so the CEED Centre garden is visible.

And with activities at the centre going on in the evening, there’s someone around later into the night than at other properties, he adds.

The issues that Ducharme’s talking about are beyond the CEED Centre’s control, Cowley added. “He could have good relations with the CEED Centre if he chose. He could even be a member.”

Cowley, another former council candidate, also pointed out the centre has blocked public access to the compost demonstration garden and lighting has been improved.

One possible action would be to fence off the forested area south of the centre. That would elimi-

nate a gathering place for the homeless, he explained.

“My solution was to turn it into a community gardens so there’s no place to sleep.”

Cowley said that homeless people are constantly being told to move along.

“If you go to any business, you’ll find that somebody has been sleeping in their doorstep.”

He added since the clean up of the bush camps near Cliff Avenue and the Caring Place, more homeless have shown up near the centre. Cowley said he’s also given RCMP permission to enter the property any time.

Ducharme presented council with several questions at its Tuesday meeting, asking about policy towards people squatting on district lots.

He also said the CEED Centre seems to allow squatting and wanted to know if the district approved and whose responsibility it was to kick people off the property.

Mayor Ernie Daykin said staff will respond to Ducharme’s questions.

ylak was destined to play water polo.

With a mother who was a competitive swimmer, and two older brothers, Nathan and Julian, who would go on to play water polo at the college level, it would seem only natural she would take up the family pastime.

But Kotylak was initially resistant.

“The whole family played, but I thought it was awful at first,” she says. “But one day my brothers’ team was a player short, so they asked me to play.

“And I was hooked.”

Kotylak, now a Grade 12 student at Meadowridge School in Maple Ridge, is off to Perth, Australia this week to compete in the World Junior Water Polo Championships as part of Team Canada.

People’s work and service recognized with once-in-alifetime Queen’s medal

by Phil M e lnyc hu k staff reporter

The ceremony read like a who’s who of the movers and shakers, both past and present, of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

There was former Pitt Meadows mayor Don MacLean, former councillor and candidate for mayor John Becker, 2008 Maple Ridge Citizen of the Year Margaret Kury and Maple Ridge Country Fest and Christmas hamper saviour Lorraine Bates, also a former citizen of the year, not to forget stream steward Dave Smith, who’s also saved and created kilometres of horse trails while Maple Ridge transforms into a modern suburb.

Those were just a handful of the dedicated people in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows recognized Wednesday at the Meadow Gardens Golf Club.

In all, Maple Ridge MP Randy Kamp bestowed 17 Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals to people who’ve helped build the area.

The medals celebrate the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada.

The Governor General of Canada administered the program and allotted 60,000 of the medals across the country.

Others recognized Wednesday for their “dedication and exceptional service to the community” were Carole Kubb, who was Pitt Meadows Citizen of the Year Award in 1999 and the Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002.

This year’s Pitt Meadows Citizen of the Year, Dolores Lutner, also received a medal, as did “Mr. MC” Fred Armstrong, realtor Ron Antalek (who received the 2012 B.C. Community Achievement Award), Pastor Ed Bradley, Daryl Stone, who is president of the Sunshine Founda-

tion Dreams for Kids, and former Citizen of the Year and school trustee Kathy Marshall.

Also receiving the medals were health fundraiser Thomas Haney secondary student and hospital foundation fundraiser Miranda Tymoschuk, Bob Thompson, 2009 Citizen of the Year, Girl Guides volunteer Melanie Kerr, and long-time McDonald’s employee Karen Venables.

NDP MLA Michael Sather also previously awarded medals to Val Patenaude, director of the Maple Ridge Museum, for her work preserving historical records and Maple Ridge heritage.

Gregory Scofield, a Metis poet and author, also received a medal, as did former Maple Ridge councillor and “longtime chief organizer of the Terry Fox Run” Betty Levens, now chair of the Ridge Meadows Seniors Society.

Another former Maple Ridge councillor, Bernice Gehring, also chair of the Haney Farmers Market Society, received the award for her volunteering and efforts at preserving the Billy Miner Pub. MLA Marc Dalton has yet to present medals to his constituents in Maple Ridge, but points out the recognition is significant.

The last diamond jubilee was in 1897, during Queen Victoria’s reign.

“Some of these people are very deserving,” he said.

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.

If you have any questions or concerns please call the Operations Centre at 604-463-9581.

Thomas Haney Secondary School Lougheed Highway and 116th, Maple Ridge, B.C.

Council makes progress on its to-do list Maple Ridge council plowed through a lot of housework Tuesday, giving final reading to several bylaws.

Formal approval was given to its business licence bylaw which simplifies and clarifies regulations for doing business in the District of Maple Ridge.

Part of that bylaw includes a section making it mandatory for bars and restaurants to post signs warning of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, while there’s also section creating a new mobile business licence that allow some businesses to require one business licence for the Fraser Valley region rather than paying for a licence in each municipality.

Animal control Council also gave three readings to its new

animal control bylaw, which penalizes owners of bad dogs.

Under the bylaw, people with dogs deemed aggressive will have to pay $200 for a yearly licence, considerably more than that charged for a normal dog. The owner of a spayed or neutered dog only has to pay $25 year if they renew before Jan. 31.

That bylaw, however, required some wordsmithing before the third reading. After a legal review, the district removed references to Savannah cats, which could have been included in the ban.

According to the International Cat Association, a Savannah (a cross breed between a house cat and an African serval) is a registered breed of domestic cats. As a result, the bylaw just reads that all cats are banned,

with the exception of domestic cats.

That definition, however, wouldn’t apply to serval cats, which are considered wild, unless an owner can provide some documentation showing that their serval cat is part domesticated or registered. In most cases, however, a serval cat will be considered a prohibited animal, and just like a lion or tiger, could be seized.

Cell towers In response to the recurring issue of cellphone towers sprouting up in the district, the latest being proposed for the iconic Maple Ridge viewscape on Dewdney Trunk Road and 237th Street, council has decided to create its own cellphone tower policy.

A draft version of that would require public

consultation and review of “high-impact” towers – those within 100 metres of residential areas or greater in height than 15 metres in commercial areas, or towers that go into environmentally sensitive or culturally significant areas.

The policy, if approved, also would require cellphone towers to be “disguised and unobtrusive and inconspicuous.”

Currently, Maple Ridge follows the default policy of Industry Canada, meaning any company proposing a cellphone tower must consult local government and address any concerns.

As well, Industry Canada requires that anybody who lives within a radius of three times the height of the tower must also be informed, while if the tower is 30 metres or higher, a newspaper ad must be taken out.

NOVEMBER 2012: MID-MONTH UPDATE

Maple Ridge This Month SPOTLIGHT ON: Guess Who’s Coming on December 1?

The Annual Christmas in the Park and Santa Claus Parade kick off the Holiday Season One of the enduring traditions in our community is the Annual Santa Claus Parade which heralds the arrival of Santa Claus to our community. But the incredible volunteers and businesses in Maple Ridge have gone one better with the Christmas in the Park celebration and the Annual Christmas Market.

The Peace Tree is transformed into Maple Ridge’s largest Christmas tree when Santa helps ‘Light Up The Town’ by touching the tree and illuminating half a kilometer of LED lights with his magical ‘Spirit of Christmas.’ The tree, which was dedicated to our Veterans at a ceremony last year, then sends the message that all serving and past soldiers wish for - ‘peace on earth, goodwill to all men.’

The Christmas tree lighting is the brainchild of the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association, and they also host the old fashioned Holiday Market that runs from

Last year folks had their lawn chairs in the prime viewing spots early!

The Christmas in the Park event features a variety of activities for kids of all ages, and the volunteers even build Santa a ‘yurt’ so he can visit with kids of all ages and pose for photos. There’s free hot chocolate and popcorn and Santa signals the start of the parade at 6:00 sharp by magically lighting the Peace Tree located at the corner of 224 and the Haney Place ring road.

INVOLVED: Winter Market

INFORMED: Visibility in Winter We need to see, and be seen, on dark rainy nights With the time change, it’s very dark in the evenings, and soon the morning sunrise will get earlier and earlier as we approach the winter solstice. That means that drivers, cyclists and pedestrians all need to be extra careful out there.

Cyclists and pedestrians need to remember to wear bright reflective clothing so that drivers can see you at crosswalks and on the side of the road. On those dark and rainy nights dark clothing, hoodies and ear buds are a bad combination.

Drivers need to make sure that headlights are working, that windshields are clean inside and out, and that wiper blades are in working order and windows are defrosted and defogged before setting out on a journey.

Reflective vests and arm bands are available at a number of local retailers. You can never have too much reflective tape on your jacket, vest or shoes. There’s even reflective wraps for your dogs! The District, Ridge Meadows RCMP and local ICBC Road Safety team want you to have a safe winter. Be seen!

Diwali is one of the most vibrant festivals for the people of India. From 1:00 to 3:00 pm

you are invited to the Maple Ridge Public library to hear the stories and customs of this joyous celebration and taste the magnificent foods from the South Asian continent. One of the highlights of the day is a classical dance performance that will allow you to experience the diversity of music and dance styles of India.

Helen Mussallem remembered F

Dr. Helen Kathleen Mussallem passed away while in care at the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus at the age of 98.

Dr. Mussallem first moved to Maple Ridge from Prince Rupert with her parents in 1921. The seven-year-old attended the old Haney Elementary School on what is now 225th Street.

Her father Solomon arrived in Canada penniless after he escaped from Lebanon at the turn of the century. He left Ontario for B.C. shortly after arriving in Canada and once in Maple Ridge, he started a successful car dealership, the Haney Garage, in 1919. The car dealership later and for decades operated under the Mussallem name on the Lougheed Highway.

Solomon Mussallem also sat as mayor of Maple Ridge for more than 20 years, a career that started in 1930 and lasted until his last stint in 1953.

Dr. Helen Mussallem graduated from MacLean High School in Maple Ridge and set off to Vancouver General Hospital to start of what would become one of the country’s most distinguished careers in nursing. She enlisted in the Royal Canadian

distinctions, including receiving the title of Dame of the Grace of the Most Venerable Order of St. * John of Jerusalem.

In addition, she amassed six honourary degrees, a fellowship of the Royal College of Nurs-Unbeatable prices on top name brands like Michelin, BF Goodrich, Firestone, Toyo and more. ing in the U.K., as well as being given the Florence Nightingale Unbeatable prices on top name brands like Michelin, * Medal of the International Red Cross.

Transit fares jumping 10 per cent

CHRISTMAS at SWAN-E-SET

West Coast Express users will pay 12.5% more

by Jef f Nage l Black Press

Most transit fares in Metro Vancouver will rise at least 10 per cent in January as TransLink moves to wring more cash out of riders.

And monthly pass holders and West Coast Express users will pay 12.5 per cent more than they do now.

The fare increase will generate an estimated $32 million for the transportation authority and the impact depends on what type of ticket or pass is bought.

Cash fares will rise Jan. 1 from $2.50 to $2.75 to travel one zone, from $3.75 to $4 for two zones and from $5 to $5.50 for three zones.

The one-zone concession fare of $1.75 for seniors and students will be unchanged, but two-zone concession fares go from $2.50 to $2.75 and three zones rise 25 cents to $3.75.

Monthly passes jump to $91 (up from $81) for one zone, $124 (up from $110) for two zones and $170 (up from $151) for three zones.

Concession passes rise to $52 from $45.50.

A day pass will now cost $9.75 or $7.50 for the concession rate.

HandyDart custom transit users will also see their fees go up.

TransLink has the legislated power to raise cash fares two per

TransLink will keep FareSaver prepaid ticket prices frozen. cent a year, which enables the 10 per cent increase because cash fares haven’t risen in the five years since 2008.

The prices of prepaid FareSaver tickets remain unchanged, as they were increased in 2010.

TransLink spokesman Drew Snider was unable to provide estimates of how much transit demand might be dampened by higher fares.

“We’re actually seeing transit demand grow substantially each year,” he said, adding it was a “difficult choice” to increase fares.

Fares generate one third of TransLink’s revenue, with most of the rest coming through property tax and fuel tax.

TransLink wanted to raise fares even higher – by about 12.5 per cent overall – but the portion of

Black Press/files

the proposed increase beyond the rate of inflation was rejected by TransLink Commissioner Martin Crilly last spring.

One zone rates apply on transit no matter how far a passenger travels after 6:30 p.m. and on weekends and holidays.

This may be the last year that conventional tickets and passes are issued.

TransLink will introduce its Compass smart card in late 2013, which is to become the new method of payment in the system.

Snider said the Compass card will mirror the existing fare structure when it rolls out, adding there are no immediate plans for a restructuring that might eventually see TransLink eliminate its current zones in favour of more precise distance-based fares.

Port Mann Bridge tolls kick in Dec. 8 New span, eight lanes opens Dec. 1

by Jef f Nage l Black Press

Commuters will soon find out if the new Port Mann Bridge ends their gridlock gripes or simply moves Metro Vancouver’s biggest traffic bottleneck further down the highway and onto untolled crossings.

The new bridge officially opens with eight lanes on Saturday Dec. 1 and half-price tolls of $1.50 for regular cars will kick in a week later on Dec. 8.

The transportation ministry estimates the new bridge will cut commute times 50 per cent and save some drivers an hour a day.

But the full 10 lanes on the bridge and on the widened Highway 1 through Vancouver and Burnaby won’t be open until late in 2013 because construction is continu-

ing on much of the corridor.

And some critics say even when the full project is complete, traffic heading to those cities will hit heavy volume at the off-ramps, backing traffic up onto the freeway.

“My prediction is congestion,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said.

“The pinch point will just be moved.”

He said Burnaby, New Westminster and Vancouver are all refusing to free up more road capacity in response – by eliminating parking lanes, for example.

“The highway is the access point and if that’s where people end up having to sit, that’s where they have to sit.”

But Port Mann/Highway 1 project spokesman Max Logan said much of the westbound bridge traffic exits at Cape Horn or Brunette Avenue.

“We’re not expecting anything significant in terms of a pinch point

or traffic bottleneck,” he said, adding drivers should see similar conditions they now see west of Brunette, until the entire $3.3-billion project is finished in late 2013.

It’s a different story east of the bridge.

By Dec. 1, there will be four lanes open in each direction running from Brunette over the bridge as far east as 200 Street in Langley – a doubling of highway capacity through Surrey.

One of the four lanes each way will be for HOV users, adding 20 kilometres where car pools and other vehicles with at least two occupants can bypass congestion. Registered HOV lane users also get a 25 per cent discount at peak times.

Drivers who don’t want to pay a toll will be directed over the Pattullo Bridge, via the South Fraser Perimeter Road, which partly opens Dec. 1.

NDP transportation critic Harry Bains pre-

dicts heavy congestion at that crossing and in feeder routes in Surrey and New Westminster as a result.

“That is going to be a huge concern,” Bains said. “The Pattullo is dangerous and over capacity.”

TransLink has also warned seismic and other safety risks could force the Pattullo to shut down before its 2020 target date for replacement.

Logan said he expects some drivers will shift to the Pattullo – at least initially.

“Come Dec. 8, once tolling begins, we may see some drivers gravitate to the untolled alternative,” he said. “We’re expecting drivers are going to test out the alternatives that are available to them and make the choice of the one that makes most sense to them.”

Logan said some drivers may have been avoiding the Port Mann and Highway 1 because of construction delays and will now come back to it.

NO MINORS PERMITTED. You must be 19 years of age or older to attend.

The first big test of whether drivers open their wallets and embrace the new Port Mann Bridge will come Dec. 10.

That Monday is the first business day with regular weekday volumes after the start of tolling on Dec. 8, when most commuters must decide if they will pay $1.50 to cross.

Even then, many drivers will effectively have free use of the bridge for a while.

Those who sign up with the TReO electronic tolling system by Nov. 30 get a credit for 20 free crossings and won’t really be out of pocket until those are burned off or the credits expire on May 31.

March 1 is another key date, when drivers who fail to register lose their 50 per cent discount and must pay the full $3 toll for regular

cars to cross.

That discount continues for registered users until December 2013.

The strategy of offering staged discounts to ease motorists into paying for a previously free crossing is a smart one, said SFU marketing professor Lindsey Meredith.

“I think they learned from the disaster over at the Golden Ears Bridge,” he said.

“It’s no accident you see it phased in with a lot of inducement for people to adapt earlier than later.”

TransLink’s Golden Ears Bridge attracted fewer drivers than expected, he said, because full tolls were abruptly charged with no discounts after a free use period ended.

In contrast, the Port Mann will offer options the Golden Ears still doesn’t, including a permanent 25 per cent discount for registered HOV lane users at peak times and an unlimited monthly pass option for frequent users priced at the equivalent of 50 trips.

So far, the plan appears to be working.

More than 225,000

drivers have already registered on TReO and the province is well on its way to meeting its target of 300,000 to 400,000 registrants, or more than 80 per cent of regular bridge users.

That doesn’t mean that all those registered users will take the new Port Mann.

And toll opponents are organizing on social media like Facebook and Twitter to urge drivers to boycott the bridge.

But Meredith said the large number of early signups gives the bridge an important chance to impress users with its value.

And he said if there’s widespread TReO adoption, opposition campaigns may quickly fizzle.

“The people who are strongly averse to it will be the holdouts,” Meredith said.

“But if you get critical mass and you get enough people to roll over and go with it, that will help convert the holdouts later.”

The TReO electronic tolling system will be able to more efficiently detect cars using wind-

shield decals and bill their credit cards or bank accounts.

Otherwise, licence plate cameras detect unregistered vehicles and – if the toll isn’t paid within seven days – an invoice will go out in the mail, with a $2.30 processing fee, which is being waived for the first three months.

Meredith cautioned many consumers have high debt levels and are spending nearly all their pay cheques, meaning they can’t easily afford tolls that may cost them $1,800 a year by 2014.

To Patrick Johnstone, a New Westminster resident and sustainable transportation advocate concerned about potential gridlock there if more drivers shift to the untolled Pattullo Bridge, the Golden Ears experience remains a cautionary tale.

“They failed to predict that people would spend an extra hour to save $4,” Johnstone said.

“I don’t think we’ll know for sure until the full tolls are charged what the full impacts will be.”

‘B.C. pipelines shouldn’t proceed’

by To m Fletch e r Black Press

VICTORIA – Neither of the oil pipeline projects proposed to cross B.C. should go ahead unless the federal government’s environmental assessment system is restored after Conservative government amendments, says NDP leader Thomas Mulcair.

On a campaign swing Tuesday to back Murray Rankin’s run in a Nov. 26 by-election, Mulcair said the Conservative government’s proposed exemption of most lakes and rivers from federal environmental scrutiny is added to earlier changes that weaken the process too much for it to be reliable.

Both Mulcair and B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix have strongly opposed Enbridge’s Northern Gateway oil pipeline planned from Alberta to Kitimat. Dix has refrained from making a similar call on Kinder Morgan’s proposal to twin the TransMountain

Tom Fletcher/Black Press

Federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair (left) joined Victoria by-election candidate Murray Rankin on campaign tour. pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby.

But Mulcair said there is no way such an expansion could proceed with the rules the way they are.

“To the extent that you can’t even discuss these things in the absence of a thorough, credible, complete assessment process, you can’t therefore even discuss an increase in flow and an increase in tanker traffic, because the condition is carrying out a thorough examination,” Mulcair said.

“And the Conservatives have gutted that. They’ve rendered it meaningless.”

Rankin, a lawyer who advised the B.C. NDP on its plan to withdraw B.C. from the joint review of Northern Gateway, is running in a by-election to replace retired Victoria MP Denise Savoie.

Rankin agreed with Mulcair that the Kinder Morgan proposal shouldn’t proceed with the current system, add-

ing that there has not yet been a formal application for the TransMountain expansion.

Mulcair said the most damaging change is making assessments subject to cabinet approval, so even if an expert panel rejects a project, it can be overruled.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has insisted that Northern Gateway and other projects will still be approved or denied on scientific grounds only.

When federal Transport Minister Denis Lebel announced changes to the Navigable Waters Protection Act in October, he said the 1882 legislation had greatly overextended its original intent. Lebel cited a lake near Edmonton that required 80 separate federal assessments to build boat docks for cottages.

Other environmental laws still apply to protect lakes and rivers, whether they are navigable or not, he said.

Minister at business summit Businesses are facing some tough issues so the chamber of commerce wants to provide a few answers, at Business Summit and Trade Show, next Thursday at Meadow Gardens Golf Course.

Keynote speaker of the event will be Naomi Yamamoto, minister of state for small business. She’ll be sharing her vision on how B.C. can be the most small-business friendly province in Canada.

Speakers also will talk about franchising and running a small business, social media, customer service, networking and market research.

The event runs from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Meadow Gardens Golf Course.

and anxiety as I left her.

In a few hours I would be on a plane and thousands of kilometres away from her again.

And while she would be well cared for and somewhat worry-free, she would have to go through a major transition essentially alone.

Third, upon my return, I drove from the airport to a hospital to visit a dear friend who recently suffered a stroke.

While I was delighted to see his general physical condition (he has partial paralysis on one side, but is regaining some movement after only three weeks of recovery), I was saddened to realize that with huge gaps in his memory and processing functions, he did not seem to remember me or anything of our past together.

Our friendship has

been a steady stream of weekly conversations or e-mails for 26 years and I consider him one of my most significant mentors.

The common theme across all three elements of my Remembrance Day experiences was the concept of unexpected separation.

We are, by nature, social beings. We thrive on strong family bonds and trusting, loyal friendships. And we ache, deeply and profoundly, when those bonds are broken.

As I lay in bed at the end of Remembrance Day, I recalled my father’s comment one day that it wasn’t his own illness that bothered him so much as it was the loss of his friends and family over time. In fact, although he enjoyed what time he could have with his own children and

grandchildren, as a man of faith he was looking forward to seeing his own friends and family at some point.

For the elderly, main-

taining a positive attitude and a desire to be well is challenged by the emotional stress of separation that comes with the loss of social and family con-

nections.

I could certainly relate to that feeling on Remembrance Day. • ghookey@yahoo.com

Quirky, individualistic styles for 2013 Hom es by Lynn Easton

I

f you are feeling a little blue this month as we head into the dark days of winter, don’t worry, you’re right on trend.

And with any luck, there’s a way to cheer you up while brightening up your surroundings at the same time.

Interior designers and home décor experts are already looking to embrace the deep warm shade of Moroccan Blue that echoes the warm sunny climes as the next trend to make a splash in home design.

This Pantone spring-2013 trend will likely be seen both in new condos and home renovation projects alike, says Christa Robinson a Maple Ridge interior designer and owner of CCRR Interior Design.

“It’s such a beautiful blue,” Robinson says of the colour making its way from the fashion runway to our driveways. “It is very welcoming and warm.”

Whether you are planning to sell your home or just hoping to curl up and enjoy the many hours you’ll spend inside this winter, you will be touched by this year’s somewhat traditional hues.

The deep Moroccan blue will be one of the strong new neutral colours going into 2013 and by adding a touch of the season’s comple-

Bold shapes like chevrons and zigzags are big trends for accent pieces such as pillows and carpets. mentary red creates a welcoming winter combo.

“Red undertones feels just right for November. We’re all hunkering down for cold weather and this cozy, cozy color warms everything from sweaters to sofas,” says Lili Zargahmi of HGTV, echoing Robinson’s local take in her November blog.

Colour is not the only trend taking hold this winter and foreshadowing the next big thing.

Quirky and individualistic styles are taking off as we head from

2012 to 2013. People seem to be a bit more optimistic about the economy and are willing to open up their pockets and buy one or two big items that say something unique about themselves, Robinson says.

“I do think people are getting out of the recession thinking and starting to want to invest again in something that will mean something to them for a long time,” she says. “People don’t want to be super frugal.”

That special item is often some-

thing like an oversized leather couch or a striking piece of art.

Meanwhile, bold shapes like chevrons and zigzags are big trends for accent pieces such as pillows and carpets. And wallpaper remains one of the 2012 trends that will endure.

“You can find gorgeous all kinds of graphics and it’s very contemporary,” Robinson says.

While designers are playing around with big and bold trends, homeowners are harkening back in time and some long-gone trends are making a comeback this winter.

Robinson says many of her clients are now asking for the once ubiquitous white appliances again, citing the clean lines and classic finish of white in the kitchen.

And a surprising resurgence of brass in the kitchen is taking hold.

“The brass we all hated is coming back,” she laughs. “Thankfully, it’s not done the way we used to see though.”

Instead, people are mixing and matching metals and using muted tones of brass that complement those white appliances and white subway tiles that are becoming staples in the kitchen.

And some of the urban-chic design of clean lines and bold colours that has been common in Vancouver for the past couple of years is making its way eastward to the Fraser Valley and can be seen

both in new condos and some of our commercial properties.

Robinson points to the new Chameleon Café on 224th street in downtown Maple Ridge as an example of this trend.

“We are seeing younger demographic and buyers,” she says.

“There’s definitely a more streamlined design style out there.”

But as those young people look toward the end of a lousy economic slump and into a new year they are also in the mood for a bit of fun.

Animal prints and stylized moose or deer head sculptures are big this winter and are becoming a common site in upscale home décor stores.

But if you’d rather leave the moose to the hunters this winter you can huddle under your Hudson Bay blanket this year as all things Canadiana also makes a comeback.

If you really want to be on trend you could grab your Bay blanket, sit on your big overstuffed coach and dream of the blue sky and warm blue water of that far off Moroccan beach.

UDI hands out Awards for Excellence

ParkLane honoured for River District The Urban Development Institute – Pacific Region hosted its biennial Awards for Excellence last month, which recognized amazing development projects from across British Columbia.

Among the winners was ParkLane Homes’ River District Centre, which won the Best Outside the Box award.

“Our goal with River District Centre was to take a unique approach to community building. We wanted this building to become a neighbourhood hub, and just a year after opening, we couldn’t be happier with the results we see today,” says ParkLane COO Ben Taddei. “Our team thanks

the Urban Development Institute and congratulates all the winners and nominees for their continued dedication to innovative and sustainable development in B.C.” Other winners at the awards included Bosa Properties and Adera.

“I think all the award winners and nominees can take great pride in what the development industry has accomplished these past two years,” says UDI President and CEO Anne McMullin. “The contribution from our industry sustains a healthy urban fabric and a strong B.C. economy.”

The full list of winners is available on www.udi.bc.ca.

A host of amazing details

Elegance can be found at Emaar’s Wills Creek

By Kerry Vital

Emaar Properties Canada is building on their reputation for amazing homes with Wills Creek, a townhome development in South Surrey’s rapidly growing community of Morgan Creek.

Emaar is known for building beautiful homes, and this project is no different.

“There is not a building out there that will beat our quality,” says sales manager Enrica Paris.

The spacious townhomes, ranging from 2,158 to 4,700 square feet, feature Craftsman-style architecture, with cedar-shingled roofs, coarse granite stone cladding and herringbone brick pavers on the patio and sidewalks.

Inside, the rich hardwood flooring throughout the main level is one of the first things you notice. The 10-foot vaulted ceilings in most plans are another feature that contribute to the spacious feel of your new home. Huge windows let the light in, while the oversized doors maximize the space.

The kitchens are elegant and efficient, with custom-designed Shaker-style cabinetry and a large island finished with a polished granite countertop.

That countertop is complemented by a handset textured natural stone backsplash and the under-cabinet and recessed lighting. Stainless-steel appliances are included, along with a stainless-steel canopy range hood from Broan.

Moving into the master suite, you feel like you’re entering your own personal oasis. The ensuite bathroom features an oversized soaker tub with a marble deck and a frameless glass walkin shower with a rain shower head. The handset imported glass tiles in the tub and shower surround are chic and lend a touch of class to the proceedings, while the heated tile floor is especially wonderful on cold mornings. The Shaker-style cabinetry continues in here, as well as in the main bathroom.

That bathroom also includes its own oversized soaker tub and handset imported porcelain tiles as the tub and shower surround.

“We have the lowest price per square foot in the area,” Paris says. “It’s great for everything that is included.”

Currently doing presales for its ninth phase, Wills Creek has been very popular with buyers of all types. Paris says most of the people interested in this latest phase is downsizers, but she has also seen first-time buyers coming

“

There is not a building out there that will beat our quality,” says sales manager Enrica Paris. through the show homes.

The location has been an important piece of the puzzle. Wills Creek is just moments from Morgan Crossing and Grandview Corners, which offer shopping, leisure and dining.

Morgan Creek golf course is also right around the corner. On the property, homeowners have access to a heated outdoor swimming pool, an outdoor hot tub and a 2,000-square-foot amenities centre, The Creek Club. It includes a fitness centre and a multipurpose room.

Buyers in this phase will be able to take possession in the summer of 2013.

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

Metro to jack fines for bad dogs

Buy or sell your home with Coldwell Banker Tri-Tel Realty between Nov. 15–Dec. 25 and we’ll make a donation to our local Friends in Need Food Bank.

Higher fines of up to $1,000 could soon be slapped on dog owners who let their hounds break the rules in Metro Vancouver’s regional parks.

The regional district’s board will vote on proposed bylaw changes at the end of this month, which are to apply in Metro’s 22 regional

parks, such as Tynehead in Surrey, Campbell Valley in Langley and Pacific Spirit in Vancouver, Kanaka Creek in Maple Ridge and Grant Narrows in Pitt Meadows, but not municipal parks.

The aim is to crack down on aggressive and dangerous dogs that pose a risk to people and other pooches.

Park officers will be empowered to order owners to muzzle or

leash an out-of-control or dangerous dog, or remove it or ban it altogether – owners who refuse could be fined $1,000.

An unleashed dog or one caught in a nodog area can trigger a $500 fine, while failing to pick up your dog’s droppings can set you back $250.

Officials say those are maximum penalties that would be applied in extreme cases

and officers are likely to stress education and warnings first.

“In my personal opinion, I think they should be fined right away,” said Langley City Coun.

Gayle Martin, vicechair of Metro Vancouver’s environment and parks committee. “It’s long overdue.”

Many parks already have off-leash fenced dog zones but Metro is also defining trails in some parks where dogs will also be allowed offleash.

Some leash-optional trails are to be included in Capilano River, Lynn Headwaters and Iona Beach regional parks, while the rest of the trails would either require leashes or ban dogs altogether.

“We’re trying to make everybody happy,” Martin said.

The region rejected demands from some wildlife watchers who wanted to ban dogs altogether from Iona Beach, a major migratory bird stopover.

Martin said people who don’t want to encounter dogs running off leash should avoid the leash-optional trails in those parks.

She said owners will now be expected to ensure their dogs behave appropriately in offleash areas or face enforcement from parks staff.

It’s hoped that will rein in the chaotic anything-goes dog interactions in off-leash areas, but Martin conceded that will depend on adequate enforcement.

Other bad behaviour in parks will also come with higher fines, which are five to 10 times higher than the old ones.

Smoking, damaging park property, setting off fireworks and dumping garbage are among the offences that can also trigger fines of up to $1,000.

Liquor consumption, being in a park after hours or creating undue noise or disturbance is worth $500.

The bylaw also gives staff the ability to restrict the emerging use of long boards, kite boards, electric bicycles, as well as the projected rise in motorized wheelchairs, in the name of public safety.

Metro officials say they get a mix of public complaints – from those who fear aggressive dogs as well as owners demanding more dog-dedicated park space.

We’re climbing ladders to nowhere Ac t s of Faith by Tim Sheridan

I

s this all there is?

I remember the first time I wondered about that question.

After spending an amazing day at Disneyland, the following days brought this aching feeling of let-down.

I had anticipated that day for so long. The sleepless nights beforehand. Thoughts tumbling over and over in my head. Dreaming about the rides I’d go on. The excitement that raced through my veins when the morning finally arrived.

Today is the day. We’re heading to Disneyland.

Then, this aching feeling inside the day after.

And the day after that.

The inarticulate thought that raced through my body – the ache that was hard to find words to describe.

“Is this all there is?”

I wouldn’t have thought about it in those terms – but that was the heart of my indescribable ache.

This dull sense that there must be more to life than living for the Disneyland experiences that fades away the day after.

Recently I attended a seminar on “mid-life crisis.”

that a “mid-life crisis” is a sign of having given bad answers to these questions.

And then this metaphor was used: it’s like we’ve been climbing 15-foot ladders that are leaning against a 30-foot wall.

Ladders to nowhere.

Oh sure, we’ve achieved a lot. We’ve acquired a bunch of stuff that has given us joy.

We’ve earned a reputation and a status in our careers or among our peers. And yet, there is this nagging

question that won’t go away as we look down at the ladders we’ve been climbing – “is this all there is?”

How do you get to the middle, or the end, of your life and look back with no regrets?

What does last?

What does have meaning?

Jim Elliot, a young Christian who was killed while only 22 years old, wrote this in his journal a few years before his death: “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he

cannot lose.”

Elliot knew a God who had already given him more than everything he would ever lose in this life, and more than he’d ever fail to get.

In a nutshell, if you are living for what you can never lose, you will find a life in which it is possible to live and to die with no regrets.

What about you?

“The ‘is this all there is’ question will be sure to haunt me.”

As I approach my 40th birthday – I know it’s a bit early for “midlife crisis” – I’ve always joked with my wife that when the “midlife” comes, I’m sure the whole “mid-life crisis” thing will hit me hard.

The ‘is this all there is’ question will be sure to haunt me.

The speaker, David Powlison, started with some questions that we’d rather not think about, let alone have them just sit with us.

“Who am I? “What am I living for?”

What lasts?”

“What can make right what is so wrong?”

We were invited to ponder the possibility

People’s work and service recognized with once-in-alifetime Queen’s medal

by Phil M e lnyc hu k staff reporter

The ceremony read like a who’s who of the movers and shakers, both past and present, of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

There was former Pitt Meadows mayor Don MacLean, former councillor and candidate for mayor John Becker, 2008 Maple Ridge Citizen of the Year Margaret Kury and Maple Ridge Country Fest and Christmas hamper saviour Lorraine Bates, also a former citizen of the year, not to forget stream steward Dave Smith, who’s also saved and created kilometres of horse trails while Maple Ridge transforms into a modern suburb.

Those were just a handful of the dedicated people in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows recognized Wednesday at the Meadow Gardens Golf Club.

In all, Maple Ridge MP Randy Kamp bestowed 17 Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals to people who’ve helped build the area.

The medals celebrate the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada.

The Governor General of Canada administered the program and allotted 60,000 of the medals across the country.

Others recognized Wednesday for their “dedication and exceptional service to the community” were Carole Kubb, who was Pitt Meadows Citizen of the Year Award in 1999 and the Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002.

This year’s Pitt Meadows Citizen of the Year, Dolores Lutner, also received a medal, as did “Mr. MC” Fred Armstrong, realtor Ron Antalek (who received the 2012 B.C. Community Achievement Award), Pastor Ed Bradley, Daryl Stone, who is president of the Sunshine Founda-

tion Dreams for Kids, and former Citizen of the Year and school trustee Kathy Marshall.

Also receiving the medals were health fundraiser Thomas Haney secondary student and hospital foundation fundraiser Miranda Tymoschuk, Bob Thompson, 2009 Citizen of the Year, Girl Guides volunteer Melanie Kerr, and long-time McDonald’s employee Karen Venables.

NDP MLA Michael Sather also previously awarded medals to Val Patenaude, director of the Maple Ridge Museum, for her work preserving historical records and Maple Ridge heritage.

Gregory Scofield, a Metis poet and author, also received a medal, as did former Maple Ridge councillor and “longtime chief organizer of the Terry Fox Run” Betty Levens, now chair of the Ridge Meadows Seniors Society.

Another former Maple Ridge councillor, Bernice Gehring, also chair of the Haney Farmers Market Society, received the award for her volunteering and efforts at preserving the Billy Miner Pub. MLA Marc Dalton has yet to present medals to his constituents in Maple Ridge, but points out the recognition is significant.

The last diamond jubilee was in 1897, during Queen Victoria’s reign.

“Some of these people are very deserving,” he said.

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.

With a mother who was a competitive swimmer, and two older brothers, Nathan and Julian, who would go on to play water polo at the college level, it would seem only natural she would take up the family pastime.

But Kotylak was initially resistant.

“The whole family played, but I thought it was awful at first,” she says. “But one day my brothers’ team was a player short, so they asked me to play.

“And I was hooked.”

Kotylak, now a Grade 12 student at Meadowridge School in Maple Ridge, is off to Perth, Australia this week to compete in the World Junior Water Polo Championships as part of Team Canada.

Maggie Coles-Lyster of Maple Ridge won eight medals in Burnaby last weekend ering the highly competitive field of 17 youth women in the contest.

“Yes, I’m very tired,” she admitted after the busy weekend of racing.

Five of Coles-Lyster’s senior teammates also competed, including Canadian Team rider Laura Brown of Vancouver, who finished second in

the A category Omnium, in which she went headto-head with the top men.

Fellow Local Ride/Dr. Vie Superfoods and Canadian squad member Steph Roorda of Vancouver finished seventh overall in the “A” group and placed an impressive second in the Elimina-

tion race. Brown and Roorda were the sole women contesting the top category.

Next up for Coles-Lyster and her teammates are the Canadian Cyclocross Championships on Nov. 17 and the B.C. Grand Prix of CX on Nov. 18, both in South Surrey.

“Ernie” was born in Dodsland (near Saskatoon), Saskatchewan, the second child of five to Austrian American parents, Mary (Haichert) and John Tamke. He died peacefully in his sleep 11 days shy of his 89th birthday and 9 weeks after the death of his dearly beloved wife of 65 years, Emily (August 25, 2012). He was predeceased by his brothers Gustav (1936) and Edward (1999) and his daughter-in-law Ellen (2002) and is survived by his sisters, Bertha Herndier and Mandy Harrison.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved by his daughters, Diane (Scott), Brenda (Garry), and his sons Stephen (Paula) and Vernon, six grandchildren and partners, and six great grandchildren, and other relatives. Ernie was a WWII Veteran and a Canadian Legion member of 57 years. He will be remembered most for being a proud father, an accomplished master carpenter able to “engineer” and build anything to outlast himself, and his habit of always being early. He supervised the restoration of the Haney House in 1979 and had also built the platform base for the steel horse clock in 1988, just prior to his retirement from the Municipality of Maple Ridge. In his early years he loved music and dancing before hearing deficits limited these activities. He also enjoyed driving (usually new cars) to Saskatchewan to visit family, friends, and in particular, “Tamke Road” while reminiscing about his early years on the farm and mischievous army years stationed in Dundurn. He was an avid outdoorsman having a jeep with a winch long before it was trendy to go off road into the wilderness. Ernie was always camera ready to capture all these moments and had subsidized his income in the army by selling photographs to the guys of them in military action. He liked telling stories about the past and accentuating them with jokes, never missing the punch line. Ernie always worked hard and had a project on the go, right up to the end, ensuring the cement was poured properly for Emily’s grave stone. He was determined in life to “rig” things up to be as efficient, effective, and as fun as possible, boasting that “only service in the military could teach proper discipline to young people” and he credited his military service to enriching his life. A funeral will be held on Saturday, November 17, 2012 at St. John the Divine Anglican Church in Maple Ridge at 1:30 PM. Following the interment at the Maple Ridge Cemetery, a reception lunch will be held at the Maple Ridge Legion. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Branch 88 of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Condolences may be sent to www.mapleridgefuneralchapel.ca.
