District MR won’t let go of video Coun. Corisa Bell to meet with mayor over complaint

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

If Coun. Corisa Bell wants a copy of the video from Maple Ridge council’s June 17 committee meeting, she’ll have to fill out a form and apply for it under the Freedom of In- Bell formation and Protection of Privacy Act. Even then, there’s no guarantee staff will provide one.

“They’re actually making me file an FOI, unbelievable,” Bell said Thursday.

“I think it will be very interesting to a lot of people that an elected official has to file an FOI for public property.”

Bell has been concerned about the video of the committee of the whole meeting, when she asked questions about the budget.

She was told the video was never posted on the District of Maple Ridge’s website based on legal advice because of possible defamatory comments. Videos are usually posted a few days after the meetings.

“It was removed under the advisement of legal council because the comments could be defamatory,” said Coun. Cheryl Ashlie.

“It’s no legal threat to her, it’s just making sure we’re not perpetuating something that could be viewed by someone as defamatory.”

Ashlie said she was “comfortable with it being removed.” see Bell, p13

Trey Wismer hands out pins and collects donations for Tyler Galloway’s family at Albion elementary on Thursday.

A symbol of spirit for Tyler

by Ne i l Co r b e t t staff reporter

T

wo-and-a-half classes of dressed-up Grade 7 students filled an Albion elementary hallway outside the gym on Thursday morning, some boys sporting ties, a few girls accessorizing their dresses for leaving day with tiaras, all waiting for the ceremonial end of elementary school.

The last of the parents filed into the gym.

“Will you wear a pin for Tyler?”

Diana Wismer asked a couple.

“Tyler?” asked the husband.

“He was the boy who was in the longboarding accident,” whispered the man’s wife.

He nodded acknowledgement.

The couple both took one of the little wooden stars, with the initials T.G., for Tyler Galloway, and left a bill in a jar.

As parents and students filed into the gym under a balloon arc, with baby pictures of all the Grade 7s set to music on a big screen, there was a table set up with a picture of Tyler next to the jar, and Wismer and her husband

Dave made sure everyone got into the gym.

Tyler, 12, couldn’t be with his classmates as they left elementary school together for the last time.

He remains in hospital after colliding with a car while longboarding near his Maple Ridge home on June 8.

But his mother, Gail Marsden, made it to the leaving ceremony, the last one to enter the gym.

“You made it,” someone said to her.

“We’ll see how long I last,” she smiled back. see Tyler, p5

www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS -- Friday, June 28, 2013 -- 3 Dan Therien (left) and Jason Armitage of the Campaign for Real Ale Fraser Valley, are promoting local craft beer through their club. Therien is holding an alternative German-style beer by Driftwood Brewing Company called Victoria Crooked Coast, while Armitage is holding a beer called 3 Weeds by Lighthouse Brewing Company in Victoria.

Top 5 lists Who makes the best beer?

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, or in this case, imbiber. The following are the top picks from Dan Therien, Fraser Valley chapter of the Campaign for Real Ale Society.

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Top 5 B.C. craft beers: 1. Driftwood Brewery Fat Tug India Pale Ale 2. Central City Brewers Red Racer IPA 3. Crannog Ales, Back Hand of God Stout (draught only) 4. Central City Pilsner 5. Parallel 49 Gypsy Tears Ruby Ale Top 5 craft beers from medium-sized breweries: 1. Granville Island Imperial IPA 2. Okanagan Spring Porter (a “fantastic” beer) 3. Okanagan Spring Summer Weizen 4. Granville Island Imperial Chocolate Stout 5. Granville Island False Creek Raspberry Ale

‘Snobs’ savour specialty suds D S tor y by Phil Melnychuk

an Therien admits it.

He’s a beer snob. He likes to tell his friends what’s good beer and what isn’t – with more or less positive results most of the time.

“I can pretty much convert everybody. I’ve convinced them all.”

Therien is one of the Maple Ridge members of the Fraser Valley chapter of the Campaign for Real Ale Society, a group of enthusiasts who meet whenever, drink beer and put forth profound arguments about which beer is better and why.

The group also promotes local craft beer and its establishments and, in return, get discounts at those establishments.

He doesn’t bother with mass-produced beer, even that which comes out of medium-sized breweries, which can be owned by the giants.

“We’re quite snobby, to tell you the truth, when it comes to that kind of beer.”

In Maple Ridge, beer lovers are at home, with both the Billy Miner Ale-

house and Cafe – where 23 craft beer are served – and Kingfishers Waterfront Bar and Grill, which offers 11, catering to the craft beer crowd by offering dozens of unique suds with enticing names.

For those who want to drink at home, the Firefly Fine Wines and Ales offers the largest variety of craft beer in the Fraser Valley, while the Witch of Endor Liquor Store offers take-home craft beer.

All are club sponsors and provide places to meet, as well as the odd keg.

“They support us. They put the word out for us.”

Just because beer is a craft, doesn’t mean it’s good, Therien acknowledges. Some are better than others, for sure.

But odds are, the niche product will taste better than the mass produced.

So what’s the difference between savouring a Schlitz and downing a speciality craft brown?

“For one thing, you’re generally buying local,” said Therien.

“You’re getting fresh beer. It’s made without any preservatives, [and has] local ingredients. They actually care about the product they’re making.

There’s way more flavour in it.”

When it comes to the mass-produced beer, there’s just no love.

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Don’t think of drinking a craft beer from anything by a glass or mug.

“There’s no flavour. There’s no love put into that beer.

“They make it as tasteless as they can so the masses will buy it.”

For beer connoisseurs who still appreciate a finely poured Blue, Lucky Lager or Canadian, moving to craft beer requires a partial abandonment of the golden strain, because ales predominate in the craft-beer scene.

That’s because ale is fermented at higher temperatures for longer times, allowing the development of a wider variety of flavours.

Lager yeast ferments more quickly, producing more crispness and refreshment.

“You can get more flavours, you

can experiment more with ale,” says Therien.

“That being said there are many good, craft lagers out there,” such as Hoparazzi and Black Hops Cascadian Dark Lager produced by Parallel 49 Brewing Co. Vancouver Island Brewery also produces Hermann’s Dark Lager.

Meetings of CAMRA often involve members bringing casks of craft beer from different breweries for sampling.

“It’s not so much a getting drunk thing. It’s about trying new beers.

Basically, just discuss the beers and have a good time.”

The Campaign for Real Ale Society of British Columbia also lobbies for consumer rights with campaigns such as “Save the Growler” and F.U.S.S. (Fess Up to Serving Sizes).

Each beer will have its optimum serving temperature, but Therien advises that lagers generally should be served at 4 C and ales at 10 C. And don’t even think about drinking beer from anything but a glass or mug.

Beer, like wine, does its thing mixing with air. Don’t chill the glasses either, he advises.

“You might as well not drink craft beer if you drink it out of the bottle.”

If you like imported or European beer, Therien’s picks are all from Belgium.

“Because they’ve been brewing it longer than we have, I’d say.”

Stella Artois isn’t on the list.

Top 5 European craft beers: 1. Westmalle Trappist Dubbel (Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle) (Belgium) 2. Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock (Germany) 3. Saison Dupont (Brasserie Dupont) (Belgium) 4. Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout (England) 5. Fuller’s 1845 (England)

Top 5 B.C. seasonal beers (not always available): 1. Driftwood Brewery Sartori Harvest Fresh Hop IPA 2. Driftwood Brewery Singularity Russian Imperial Stout 3. Howe Sound Brewing Megadestroyer Liquorice Stout 4. Vancouver Island Brewery Hermannator Ice Bock 5.

Car Care with Cyril Barry

SAFETY DEVICES The other day I was driving between Mission and Maple Ridge when I witnessed a most disturbing sight. There beside me exceeding the speed limit was a Ford Escort station wagon, stuffed with camping equipment and people, using a space saver spare tire on the right rear of the vehicle. A space saver tire is provided by the car manufacturer to meet its certification standard as mandated by the federal government. We in the automotive repair business refer to it as a ‘boat anchor’ because that’s all it is good for. It is designed to be installed as a last gap measure to get you to the nearest shop that can repair or replace the flat tire you had. It is not designed to be driven at road speed for any length of time for a number of very important reasons.

It even has these instructions printed on the side of the space saver tire, so there is no excuse for people ignoring the warning and putting them and all those around them in harms way by driving recklessly on a space saver tire.

The advent of computer electronics in automobiles has made possible the development of Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Air Bags. Two of the most recognized of the new vehicle safety features.

Of all the serviceable items we advise customers about on a daily basis in the repair business, anti-lock brake repairs still seems to mystify them the most. We encounter far too many cars and light trucks that have an ABS warning light on the dashboard which has been ignored by the owner for reasons that defy common sense. This little warning light is there for a reason. It is telling you that you need to have your ABS inspected and the computer scanned to determine what, if anything, is wrong. So if your vehicle has an ABS light on the dashboard and it stays on and the person repairing your vehicle does not bring it to your attention and advise you as to the necessary repair procedure, consider another shop for your next repair.

Air bags are a wonderful thing which hopefully you will never have to find out, but believe me I have seen many wrecked cars in the last five years that people walked away from which would not have been possible without air bag inflation. In my opinion all cars should have air bags as basic equipment with little to no exceptions. There are certain circumstances such as baby seats and smaller or frail people where we need to make changes, which is why new cars have deactivation switches but otherwise all cars need them. The next time you meet a tow truck driver just ask him what he thinks. They see the difference between cars with and without air bags daily.

Remember while driving, to always wear your seatbelt. Your air bag system will not operate unless your seat belts are engaged to complete the circuit in your Supplementary Restraint System (SRS).

NOW OPEN DAILY

The Emerald Pig Theatrical Society needs some help and a home of its own if the local theatre is going to survive in Maple Ridge. But like the local swim clubs, the society will be treading water if it’s hit with rental hikes next year.

Maple Ridge council got the message and Tuesday suspended any changes in fees for pool or room rentals, until the groups have talked to the recreation general manager.

“The change in rates is fairly dramatic,” Emerald Pig president Sharon Malone told council.

In fact, if the society has to pay for rehearsal space it formerly got for free, it might not survive.

“The costs for putting on theatre are not sustainable.”

Currently, the club gets most of its rehearsal time in the Family Recreation Centre in Pitt Meadows for free. Under the new fees proposed for next year, the club would have to pay about $20 an hour for rehearsal time. With three shows produced a year, the society would face another $7,000 in costs annually. Each show it puts on, operates on a razor-thin profit margin, clearing about $200.

“We have a very tight bottom line. If we add a $7,000 rental fee, I’m not sure it will be manageable.”

Malone is optimistic the parks and leisure department will make adjustments to help the club.

“The district has always been extremely supportive.”

Malone said having to pay for rehearsal space would mean more money spent on advertising and marketing, to ensure

for more time.

He’s already had “good discussions” with the recreation department at rolling back some of the changes.

“I think our club will do quite well in the community of Maple Ridge.”

Swift has already talked with both swim clubs and will meet with the theatre society.

“I feel very comfortable there are a number of things we can to do reduce costs.”

She said the commission decided to start charging non-profit groups for using rooms, adding the smaller rooms are just a few dollars an hour.

Higher admission fees in 2014 are projected to raise another $17,000, while higher rental charges are expected to raise another $20,000, with about $8,000 of that coming from non-profit groups that so far haven’t had to pay for room rentals.

Coun. Corisa Bell, though, wanted council to direct the recreation commission to lower fees.

“There’s got to be more ways of doing it than just increasing fees.”

That’s up to the commission, countered Mayor Ernie Daykin.

“We allow them to do their work.”

For the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre, staff recommended a five-percent increase in admission fees, bringing the youth or senior rate from $3.71 to $3.90 and the family rate from $9.94 to $10.44.

Maple Ridge council gave third reading to the new fees as well as to changes to fees for dropin skating, arena rental, rental of Albion Fairgrounds buildings, halls and kitchens.

For the Pitt Meadows Family Recreation Centre, staff recommended a five-per-cent increase in the child rate and a 10-per-cent increase for youth and seniors.

each show sells seats in order to cover costs. Fundraising efforts would have to double or triple.

Malone said the theatrical society is looking for a home of its own, a small building with space for about 75 seats. Rental of the 500-seat Arts Centre Theatre is too pricey for the small group, which usually loses money on its shows there.

“We love the ACT. It’s simply not the type of theatre we produce. It’s not appropriate in a large venue.”

Finding an old building for a small theatre, as community theatres in Langley and Surrey have, would also spare volunteers from having to lug props to and from each production set, before and after shows.

“It burns people out.”

Malone stores many of the sets and props in her own home, saving the club up to $6,000 a year.

“But that’s not sustainable.”

Having its own venue could create more profitable shows.

The Emerald Pig Theatrical Society does have a future home pencilled in, said parks and recreation services general manager Kelly Swift.

The new parks and recreation master plan identifies the Pitt Meadows Heritage Hall on Harris Road for that purpose.

The plan has been costed out and an implementation strategy has been developed.

“I’m hoping we can work and find another solution.”

The Haney Neptunes and the Haney Seahorses were also worried about rising fees.

Rob Charland, with the 84-member club Haney Seahorses, said the fee hikes and schedule changes would have added $9,000 yearly to the club’s costs.

Setting longer times in the Maple Ridge leisure centre with fewer lanes would mean coaches have to be paid

Mother grateful for support community has shown Tyler from front

When the ceremonies were over, if not before, she would go back to Vancouver Children’s Hospital, to stay with Tyler.

After his longboarding accident, she spent four days straight in hospital with him.

Finally, when it became apparent he would survive his injuries, the nurses convinced her to go home.

Now she goes to see him every morning, staying into the night.

“I think he can hear me, so I talk to him all day long.”

Gail said her son did not suffer multiple broken bones, and was never on life support. He was on a ventilator for the first five days, to help him breath.

But he has since been doing that on his own. He suffered a broken collarbone, and broke a bone under his eyebrow.

His main wound is a traumatic brain injury. He was put into a medically induced coma, but is out of it now.

He can’t walk or talk.

“His eyes follow me,” said Gail. “He can hear me.

“We don’t know how much he understands, if he knows where he is.”

There is no prognosis. Tyler’s

brain simply has to repair itself, and the process is expected to take more than a year.

Gail sometimes gets her son into a wheelchair. His friends come to visit regularly, and every other day someone comes to check on Tyler.

“The kids at Albion have been amazing,” she said.

Tyler’s accident has been on them, though.

“They’re all struggling,” said Diana Wismer, whose son Zach is close friends with Tyler, and who has been visiting him in hospital.

“The kids at Albion have been amazing.”

Diana wismer

“He’s well-loved by his group of peers,” she said of Tyler. “Everyone is pulling for him.”

His teacher Paul Thompson called Tyler “a sweetheart of a kid,” an athletic soccer and ball hockey player who also referees.

“He lives for athletics,”

Thompson added. “He is a good-hearted kid, always has a gleam in his eye, and can be a bit mischievous. He’s well liked.”

That is reflected in the support the school community has given his family.

A week ago, Albion elementary had a graduating celebration that included a round of golf and dinner, as well as a 50-50 draw to support Gail and her other children.

She runs a business, selling puppies and running a boarding kennel. But that has been put on hold.

The winner of the 50-50 raffle donated the money back.

“I’m so grateful for how great the community has been, and how supportive everyone has been,” Marsen said.

That was evident again at the Grade 7 leaving ceremony.

“He’s going to be okay,” said his mom, “because he’s such a fighter.”

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

A point of order Much is being made of the difficulty first-term councillor Corisa Bell is having getting her points across in municipal government.

Some of her Maple Ridge counterparts and district staff have taken exception to her questions about municipal spending, development outside the urban boundary, and pay parking at Ridge Meadows Hospital, to name a few.

A video of a recent committee meeting, during which she questioned the municipal budget, was removed from the district website and reviewed by lawyers for defamatory comments.

Surely Coun. Bell has much to learn about municipal politics, but she is entitled to ask questions and to have opinions about such matters.

She was, after all, elected to council. And she was largely for her involvement in local anti-HST and MLA-recall campaigns, during which she took a public and lead role.

So it stands to reason that those who supported her in the municipal election are encouraged by her outspoken approach, that they want more accountability and transparency at the district level.

Decorum and respect must be minded, and when discussions stray, it is a leader’s role to keep order. Not to whip someone into shape. Nor to sit idle while another member of council disrespects an entire neighbourhood, making unsupported claims.

If Coun. Bell has misspoken, if she has been out of line, it is Mayor Ernie Daykin’s responsibility to counsel her in the right direction. Not to change her opinion, but to help her get it across in an acceptable manner. Put an arm around her shoulder, not allow her to be put on an island.

Maybe some of Maple Ridge’s more seasoned politicians have forgotten how to swim against the tide.

Really, do we need another multi-million-dollar fire hall right now?

Coun. Bell’s recent actions are the epitome of democracy. A healthy one allows questions, sparks debate and permits criticism. But that takes leadership, which Maple Ridge council is lacking.

Municipal business quite lucrative L

ike many municipalities, Maple Ridge is over-governed and under-serviced by municipal hall.

Taxpayers are burdened with excessive senior staff salaries with the end result being a Rolls Royce bureaucracy in a Sidewinder Chevrolet world.

A glance at financial Sandy Macdougall statements for 2012 reveals that Maple Ridge has four staff members drawing annual salaries in excess of that earned by our member of parliament. Three of those staff members earn more than our premier. Maple Ridge’s chief administrative officer tops the list and is paid $246,000 annually.

The general manager of corporate and financial services is paid $193,000 per year. Our general manager of public works and development services receives $204,000 annually. The general manager of community development and parks and recreation receives $170,000 annually, and our municipal engineer is paid $161,000.

For comparative purposes, members of the legislative assembly receive a basic annual indemnity of $101,800, members of parliament are paid $158,000, and our premier receives $193,000.

Maple Ridge has more than 60 employees whose salaries are equal to or greater than the 85 members of the provincial legislative assembly.

Do we really need all of these high-

priced bureaucrats to conduct the affairs of Maple Ridge in a timely and efficient manner? It’s an appropriate question, especially when you consider that much of our local decision making is dictated by demands from senior government agencies such as Metro Vancouver, and several provincial and federal agencies.

The salaries quoted do not include police, nor do they include expense accounts, some of which add thousands of dollars to the salary levels of these employees.

In the year 2012, Maple Ridge had 124 employees who earned $75,000 or more per year, or approximately 40 per cent of the total payroll.

Municipal council seems completely oblivious to the economic impact of this monolithic bureaucracy on the lives of every business operator, home owner and resident in Maple Ridge.

There doesn’t appear to be a single council member, including the mayor, who has any understanding of how to create a liveable and affordable community. Their answer over many years seems to have been to add a few more high-priced bureaucrats to the payroll.

Council members each receive in excess of $42,000 annually, with additional expenses and benefits, which add several thousands of dollars to their totals. This does not include any indemnities they receive from regional appointments.

To add insult to injury, one-third of all indemnities received by elected officials is tax exempt.

Interestingly, at $6,600, Coun. Corisa Bell’s expenses for 2012 topped those of all members of council except Mayor

Ernie Daykin, whose expenses totalled $6,800. It seems odd that someone who campaigned on her ability to oppose unnecessary taxes such as the HST should outspend all other councillors in just her first year on council.

Council members also treat themselves at taxpayer expense to annual junkets such as the recent federation of Canadian municipalities convention in Vancouver.

Council members say attendance at these events is important to help them communicate more effectively on common issues with other local office holders from across the nation and with provincial or federal authorities, who also attend these lavish functions.

I’m just not sure what they are communicating that can’t be done at much lower cost and with a simple invitation to visit Maple Ridge at their own expense.

It’s easy to summarize the accomplishments of the combined efforts of Maple Ridge elected officials and their municipal bureaucrats over the past several years. We still have inadequate roads, lousy or non-existent transit services in most areas, pitiful commercial and industrial development, and sprawling residential growth patterns.

The only significant growth has been at district hall, at the expense of taxpayers.

Nobody is cheating and it’s not quite up to Senate standards, but it appears quite lucrative for the elected and hired participants in their ongoing gouge of taxpayers.

Clearly, what’s been done to date is not working, because our tax base is unbalanced, our school systems are overloaded in one area and underpopulated in others, we have less shopping and jobs than any city this side of Chilliwack, our bylaws restrict business, and our reliance on residential tax is unsustainable. It’s getting to the point where even realtors and developers are getting restless.

I believe the district is framing this article as experience vs. inexperience, when in reality it is entrenched beliefs about the way things ‘should’ be done vs. the way things ‘need’ to be done for progress. Ageism and sexism are just tools being used to maintain the status quo; they don’t like a young ‘girl’ coming in and telling them the problems the public all sees and experiences.

District needs to get with the times or move out of the way because our town is sinking further into a hole it may never be able to get out of.

Cheryl McNevin Baron: Re: A chill on Maple Ridge council (The News, June 26).

She asks too many questions? She should just sit and listen? Who would say that to her? She was elected with the same mandate as the other councillors and mayor, to look after her constituents the best she can. Hang in there, Corisa. Something tells me there will be more like you after the next municipal election.

Editor, The News: Re: A chill on Maple Ridge council (The News, June 26).

Who is running the show at Maple Ridge municipal hall?

We elect representatives to ask questions, get answers and make informed decisions on our behalf. Now we have an elected councillor who is being chastised for doing exactly what we ask of her.

What other councillors are accepting these conditions?

It appears that the tail is wagging the dog and the dog is terrified (with the certain exception of Coun. Bell).

The citizens of our great community need to start asking these questions of our council and start preparing for the next civic election.

In the meantime, I will be out looking for more Corisa Bells to run on the next ballot.

Do you fit into one of these categories?

Editor, The News: Re: A chill on Maple Ridge council (The News, June 26).

Any member of council, any taxpayer should be able to, in fact if not satisfied, is obligated to question public expenditures at any stage of the budget process.

If this happened more often, we would not be saddled with ongoing four-per-

cent-plus tax increases year after year.

Mayor Ernie Daykin and his trained seals should support rookie Coun. Corisa Bell and help keep taxes down. What are you hiding, what have you got to lose?

Go, Corisa.

Too many questions?

Editor, The News: Re: A chill on Maple Ridge council (The News, June 26).

Bell, Bell, who will stop Coun. Corisa Bell? That was the desperate plea heard from the tower in the centre of town.

The unmistakable sound of fear was heard by a group of lawyers lurking in the forest, just out of view, waiting patiently for a council in distress. ‘The first thing we must do,’ they advised, ‘is to hide all evidence and place a cone of silence over this whole mess. And whatever you do, make sure the video doesn’t get on Youtube or it could go viral.’

What on earth could have possibly been said during the June 17 committee meeting that it requires calling in a group of lawyers to shut down what should be open for everyone’s eyes and ears.

If Coun. Bell Has too many questions, couldn’t that be addressed by respectfully informing her of the information she requires to ‘get with the program’.

Have you heard of succession planning?

Instead of making Coun. Corisa Bell feel unwelcome and like an interloper, Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin and the more experienced councillors should be showing some leadership here.

Young women like Ms. Bell should be encouraged to think for themselves and ask questions.

After all, they are the future of Maple Ridge taxpayers.

Why would you want to discourage them from participating by treating them badly?

Trustees await flak over rental increase

by Neil Corbet t staff reporter

Some school board trustees are anticipating the district will take flak over the new fee structure to rent gymnasiums, libraries and classrooms.

The board directed staff to get details of concerns from groups, and plans to deal with any issues early in September.

The board is breaking for the summer, and will not be able to deal with them until then.

Trustee Susan Carr said she has received a complaint from a group and will go back and ask for a written letter.

Non-profit children’s groups could rent classrooms and libraries for $1 hourly in the past, and secondary gymnasiums for $5.

The new schedule of fees is based on billing per square metre, and is in line with rates charged

by Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Parks and Lei-

sure Services, as set out last month.

With the new rates, at the high end of facilities cost, a youth non-profit group would pay $67.50 for a large gym, an adult non-profit $81, a private user $123 and a commercial user $154.

For other facilities, such as multipurpose rooms and libraries, the cost will range from about $15 per hour for non-profit youth groups to approximately $50 for commercial users.

Last year, the district made $320,000 from rentals and leases.

Secretar y-treasurer Flavia Coughlan said tenant clients are being notified of the cost increase, and the common response has been that they will pass the increase along to their customers or members.

She said there is one daycare that will not renew its rental lease with the district, but that is not related to the increase in rent.

Coughlan added that groups are now reassessing how much space they will need – whether they will lease a less expensive classroom rather than a gymnasium.

“At the staff level, so far no group has told us they won’t rent from us.”

Trustee Ken Clarkson said if the board loses some rentals because of the increased rates, then it might not be worthwhile to raise them.

Coughlan pointed out that in the past groups leased space for nominal fees, such as $5.

“We’re moving to cost recovery,” she said.

“We’re removing the subsidy that has been in place for years.”

Superintendent Jan Unwin also responded to Clarkson’s concerns about losing rentals.

“At the current rate, we’re making no money anyway – in fact, we’re subsidizing outside of our mandate.”

She said when the

board had to trim $5.6 million in expenses out of its budget for 20132014, it had to ask, “Can we afford to do this.”

Unwin added the board should have been making smaller, incremental raises, like the municipality has done with its recreation facilities.

Coughlan said the cost of custodian wages, heating and lighting, and things like gym floor replacement are incremental costs that have been considered in setting the new rates.

Board chair Mike Murray said the public is clear that it considers schools public facilities that should be available and fully utilized.

“If there is an issue of facilities not being used, that should be noted and reported,” he said.

Clarkson said groups have not complained yet, because the new rates don’t kick in until Jan. 1, 2014.

“They haven’t felt it yet.”

Two new parks at top of Maple Ridge Both located in Silver valley area

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Residents of Silver Valley have been feeling on top of the world for the last few months now that they have more places to play.

Deer Fern Park and Cedar Park were actually finished late last year, but a ribbon cutting Monday marked the official opening of the neighbourhood parks.

Maple Ridge councillors and residents first celebrated Deer Fern Park at Rock Ridge Drive and 236th Street.

That was followed by a traipse down the path to nearby Cedar Park on 133rd Avenue, where people and politicians cut another ribbon.

The two new parks complement the other neighbourhood parks, Red Alder Park and Birch Park in Silver Valley, Maple Ridge’s one of the newer suburbs at the north end of 232nd Street.

Each park has a half court with basketball hoop and room for road hockey plus playground equipment.

Deer Fern Park is 0.3 hectares and cost $330,000. Cedar Park is 1.2 ha and cost $396,000.

“Getting Deer Fern Park in was a big step,” said parks planning manager Bruce McLeod.

“We’ve integrated

some natural play elements in both parks.”

About half the parks will remain forest.

“They’re positive things for the community.”

McLeod said a steer-

ing committee of local residents started sharing their ideas with the district recreation department in 2012 when the parks were being designed.

“The view was spectacular,” Coun. Judy Dueck said at Tuesday’s council meeting.

“Our parks staff did an amazing job with that.”

The Dewdney Medical Group would like to announce the coming retirement of Dr. Allen Neufeld.

They would like to take the opportunity to welcome Dr. Andel Kok who has arrived from South Africa to take over Dr. Neufeld’s practice.

Dr. Neufeld and Dr. Kok will both be working through May and June to ensure a smooth transition of care for their patients.

Pitt Meadow resident Tom Murray is set to put pens to paper again in his push for no residential tax increases in the city’s 2014 budget.

Murray launched a petition in July 2013 and collected more than 1,300 names in hopes of pressuring local council to come in with a zero tax increase for the fiscal year.

When the final budget was past last November, council settled on a 3.1 per cent hike in 2013.

Murray said he’s going to continue to push council to at least consider the idea of no municipal take hike and is launching another petition.

No date for Bing Newly elected Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Doug Bing says he’s still seeking clarifi-

cation on a number of issues before deciding when he will resign his seat on Pitt Meadows council.

Bing had been seeking a leave of absence until January 2014 from his duties as a council member in order to avoid triggering a by-election.

However, his request has been unanimously declined by the rest of Pitt Meadows council.

Bing said he hopes to have a decision by next week, resolving the timing of his departure.

“The issue of a byelection plays a part in it,” said Bing, who won under the Liberal banner on the May 14 provincial election, edging out the NDP’s Elizabeth Rosenau by 620 votes.

“There is also the issue of wrapping up some of the work on committees that I’d like to take care of.”

If he resigns before January 2014, it will automatically trigger a by-election.

Pitt Meadows city staff estimate that will cost around $15,000.

It is legal for Bing to retain his council seat as well as serve as a member of the B.C. Liberal caucus.

Under the Community Charter, councils have the right to remove councillors if they miss excessive time from their duties.

Mayor Deb Walters said she’s not sure when Bing plans on leaving his seat.

“As it stands now, he’s within his rights to stay on council,” she said. “He just can’t miss more than 59 consecutive days, as set out under the Community Charter.”

By conserving water now, we will help save water and reduce the risk of more severe restrictions. Remember, your lawn only needs about 1-inch of water (about 1 hour of sprinkling) per week to stay healthy.

For more information on water treatment and supply, sprinkling regulations, conservation and reservoir levels please visit the Metro Vancouver website at www.metrovancouver.org/services/water/conservation/Pages/sprinkling.aspx

The mayor said the city is faced with substantial increases in tipping fees and water costs associated with Metro Vancouver. She said transit fees with Metro go up three per cent each year, regardless.

“Our goal is always to keep taxes as low as possible. I’m a taxpayer, too,” said Walters.

But the mayor said the city has to think longterm, as well, as infrastructure costs mount on replacing items such as pump stations along the flood plain.

Murray said the least council can do it hold the line on wages. He said the tax burden is forcing families out of the region.

According to financial statements released by the City of Pitt Meadows, the mayor’s salary saw an increase of $16,000 from 2008 to 2010, climbing to $63,220 from $47,160.

In the same period, councillors saw a $7,217 increase, from $17,544 in 2008 to $24,761.

Financial documents for 2012 have not been released, yet.

But according to the Pitt Meadows director of finance, councillors made $24,780 in 2012, while the mayor made $66,081.

Salary rates for council are adjusted each year according to a formula based on the median of the published salary of all Metro Vancouver mayors for the immediately preceding year.

The formula was put into place in 2008 following the recommendations of an independent committee of citizens.

on taxes, but it’s worth looking at for one year,” he said. “There’s got to be a way where they can cut spending and hold the line on wage increases.”

Murray, a former school board trustee, launched the petition after a staff report to Pitt Meadows council suggested general taxes will increase about four per cent annually over the next five years. Murray looked to communities like Mission and West Vancouver that promised no tax increases in their 2012 budgets.

He said he will be going door-to-door in hopes of building on last year’s momentum and hopes to gather 2,500 signatures.

Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters said Murray has every right to seek a zero tax increase, but that the reality of the everincreasing costs of doing business makes it a difficult task to accomplish.

“The reality is, you have to cut something out to get to zero,” said Walters.

On Monday, July 1 we are putting on a Canada day celebration that will give you an opportunity to show your Canadian pride through your attire, your unabashed flag waving and by singing our national anthem like they do at the Canucks games – loud and proud!

July 2013 Council Meeting Schedule Mayor and Council encourage everyone to attend these important public meetings. It’s your chance to see how public policy is debated and enacted.

The festivities will take place at Memorial Peace Park and the day will begin with the Haney Farmers Market in their usual spot at the west side of the bandstand. This year, music and official ceremonies will take place on the stage in front of the Arts Centre Theatre on the east side of the park.

This year we have a special treat: between 1:30 and 2:30 pm members of the Ridge Meadows RCMP dressed in ‘red serge’, will be posing for photos at the garden feature just east of the Bandstand. Bring your camera, and a member of the detachment or District staff will be glad to take a picture with your camera of you and your family as a souvenir of this special day.

‘We’ve been very open to conversation’ Bell from front

Mayor Ernie Daykin said earlier that Bell can look at the video at municipal hall, but can’t have a copy because that would mean losing control of the video.

Media is not allowed access to the video.

But Bell said she wants a copy of the video so she can get her own legal advice.

She has been at odds with council after questioning the budget process, the decision to extend borrowing authority for $6 million for a new Fire Hall No. 4, a project that’s long been planned, as well as development decisions and pay parking at Ridge Meadows Hospital.

She feels isolated now and was to meet Mayor Ernie Daykin

Thursday to discuss that, as well as her complaint against chief administrative officer Jim Rule following a conversation they had after a June 10 meeting.

Bell has written the mayor asking that Rule be suspended while the investigation into that complaint is ongoing.

Rule has said he has private conversations about district matters with councillors, but doesn’t want to discuss those conversations.

“The mayor is aware of the issue and I have every confidence he will deal it appropriately,” Rule said previously.

Bell planned on bringing her friend and mediation consultant Wilf McIntyre to the meeting with the mayor.

Bell said she’s trying to find

out why the video was removed.

“Nobody has informed me.”

Bell is encouraged by the public support she’s received about her challenges on council.

“I was getting e-mails, phone calls.”

Coun. Judy Dueck said every councillor feels alone at times when he or she has different views than the rest of council.

“I think we’ve been very open to having a conversation. We try to provide information and background.”

There are also times when councillors will just disagree, she added.

According to the B.C. Laws website under the Libel and Slander Act, broadcasts or reporting of public meetings are protected from legal action.

Tickets at Canada Day for Musical Ride Tickets for the RCMP Musical Ride will be on sale during Canada Day celebrations in Maple Ridge on Monday.

On Sept. 5, the RCMP Musical Ride will be performing one show only at 6:30 p.m. at the Albion Fairgrounds.

Tickets are $15 each and only 1,500 tickets will be available for purchase.

Tickets will be sold to local residents on a first-come, firstserve basis.

In addition to the musical ride, there will also be extra performances and displays.

There will also be a meet-andgreet after the performance for ticket holders to get their pictures taken with the RCMP members and their horses.

Ridge Meadows RCMP will have a booth set up in Memorial Peace Park on Canada Day where they will be selling tickets.

Tickets can also be purchased,

cash only, from Tourism Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows, the North Fraser Therapeutic Riding Association, at the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Country Fest Centre on the Albion Fairgrounds, the front counter of the Ridge Meadows RCMP detachment and at both Maple Ridge locations of Domino’s Pizza.

B.C. Hydro has fired five workers after an internal investigation into whether staff aided marijuana grow-ops that illegally tapped electricity.

Three more employees remain under investigation, the Crown corporation said Thursday in a statement.

Hydro executive vicepresident Greg Reimer said the accusations against the workers include theft of Hydro equipment and facilitat-

Union officials previously confirmed some members had been suspended with pay as part of the investigation into conduct related to marjuana grow-ops.

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers local 258 business manager Doug McKay had cautioned June 20 against a company “witch hunt” against workers who may not have done anything wrong.

“It’s not a lineman’s job to knock on doors and inquire whether a growop is inside,” he said at that time. “That’s the job of police.”

The workers fired are in Prince George, Surrey, Coquitlam and Campbell River.

Ten more employees have returned to work after being questioned.

Reimer said information gathered has been forwarded to the RCMP and they’ll determine whether any criminal investigation ensues.

He said Hydro must protect the safety and security of the electrical system.

Metro takes hard look at management pay Regional district’s new CAO leading review

by Jef f Nage l Black Press

Metro Vancouver is conducting an extensive review of salaries for all management staff to determine if their pay levels are appropriate.

It comes as the regional district released annual financial disclosures showing it paid out $142 million in salary and benefits to employees last year.

Metro paid 369 employees more than $100,000 last year and some Metro directors have questioned whether pay levels are too high.

Chief administrative officer Carol Mason, who is leading the pay review as well as an ongoing restructuring at Metro, said the regional government is overdue for such an exercise. It last did one in 2008, but has a policy of reassessing pay levels every three years.

“My early impression is, I wouldn’t say we are overstaffed, but that’s part of the process we are going through,” Mason said.

Salaries and duties for Metro’s non-union staff are being compared against similar positions

in local cities over the next several months.

Mason has ordered a freeze on new hiring until the review is complete.

Metro board chair Greg Moore said the aim is to “ensure we’re not too high or too low in the pay bands we have compared to other equivalent-type employment.”

A finding that pay levels are too high and need to be decreased would be “very difficult” to apply to current staff who would likely be grandfathered, he said.

In the past, B.C. Hydro has poached many Metro engineers, putting upward pressure on those salaries to stay competitive.

Local cities are also routinely raiding staff from each other or from Metro.

North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton said his city lost five newly hired planning department staff to offers of higher pay from cities south of the Fraser almost immediately after they were trained.

“We were actually paying the training costs and other communities were immediately benefitting from the result,” Walton said, adding the loss slowed building permit approval times in North Van District.

SummerBeautyTrends Protecting hair from surf and sun 6 great tips to keep your hair looking healthy People are aware they need to protect their skin from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. But few may know they need to devote as much attention to protecting their hair.

In addition to exposing hair to potentially harmful UV rays, time outdoors in the sun can leave hair brittle, dull and more prone to breakage.

People fail to realize that the scalp also is susceptible to sunburn and can take a beating when in the sun for many hours.

If your hair is particularly thin, you may be more at risk for sun-related trauma to the scalp. Combine damage from the sun with the drying factor of chemically treated pool water or saltwater, and you have a recipe for bad hair.

There are a number of ways to protect the hair and still enjoy some fun in the sun.

Wear a hat when out in the sun. A hat will serve as a barrier from direct sunlight. A hat will protect your face while covering your head and most of your hair. When swimming, consider a swimming cap that will cover the hair and guard it from pool chemicals or seawater.

Use a leave-in conditioner. Leave-in conditioners or even regular conditioners can be combed through your hair before you head to the pool

Don’t forget to protect your hair and your scalp from damage from the sun and surf.

or beach. The conditioner will coat the strands of hair and protect it from drying out and other sun damage.

Rely on SPF products. There are leave-in treatments for hair and scalp that are a conditioner and sunscreen all-in-one. But if you need something that works in a pinch, simply dilute a little standard sunscreen with water and spritz it through the hair, paying attention to the scalp and other easily burned areas, like the ears and nape of the neck. You can also mix sunscreen with a little conditioner and work it through your hair.

Rinse your hair after swimming.

Saltwater and pool water may continue to cause damage after swimming. Once you’re through, rinse your hair with cool, clean water to get out as much salt or chemical residue as possible.

Also rinse out any sand that may have become lodged in your hair, as sand can rub against hair and cause breakage.

When you have time for a shower, use an after-sun shampoo specially designed to thoroughly clean hair after it has been exposed to the sun.

Keep hair from turning green. Few people hope to have their hair turn green after swimming in a pool.

Unfortunately, such a transformation is somewhat common, particularly for

those with blonde or light-coloured hair. Contrary to popular belief, it is not the chlorine itself that causes hair to turn green, but rather oxidized metals in the pool water that bind to the protein in the hair shaft. Copper is the metal that produces the green tint and is often found in algaecides. The chlorine added to the pool may speed up the oxidizing process but is not the actual cause of the colour. Special shampoos that chelate the metal in the hair follicle can help remove the green. Also, try rinsing your hair with a mixture of clean water and baking soda after swimming.

Avoid excessive hair styling. If you have coloured your hair, keep it pinned up and under a hat when out in the sun to keep it from drying out. Also, minimize drying hair with a hair dryer, and cut down on your use of heatbased styling aides. These appliances can just compound hair damage.

It is important to protect the hair and scalp when spending significant time in the sun. Whether you cover up or lather on sunscreen, there are a number of ways to reduce hair damage that results from sun exposure.

Get the facts on skin care tips With so many tips and tricks associated with skin care, it can sometimes be confusing to discern the help from the hype. While there are many worthwhile products on the market, many others are ineffective and simply not worth the price tag. However, certain care suggestions are universal and can help keep skin in top form.

Protect your skin from the sun. Using sunscreen and limiting time in the sun during the peak hours of the highest exposure to UV rays can dramatically reduce your risk of developing skin cancer. Wearing wide-brimmed hats and long sleeves and pants also can protect the skin.

Moisturize. After a long day in the sun be sure to give your skin the hydration it needs. Invest in a basic face and body moisturizer to apply morning and night.

Be gentle. Tugging, rubbing and pulling on the skin can eventually lead to sagging and wrinkling. Although the skin is quite elastic and resilient, as one ages and skin dries out and becomes more delicate, it may be susceptible to more damage. Select soft cleansing pads or washcloths. Avoid harsh soaps that can strip the skin of essential oils.

After showering, pat down skin so that some moisture remains on your body.

A l l s e r v i c es f o r f i r s t t i m e c l i en t s

When shaving avoid tugging on the skin and shave in the direction the hair grows. Always use a sharp razor to avoid nicks and irritation. Shaving may be a more gentle method of hair removal than depilatory creams or waxing.

A ppoi nt m e nt s r e com m e nde d

Mention this ad when booking your appointment.

Quit smoking. Smoking does contribute to wrinkles and damages the skin.

Smoking narrows the blood vessels in the body, including the tiny capillaries that are found in the outermost layers of skin. Lack of blood flow also means lack of oxygen and nutrients reaching the skin to keep it healthy. Smoking also may damage collagen and elastin - the fibres that give your skin its strength and elasticity. Furthermore, the tar in cigarette smoke can stain the skin, giving a yellowish appearance.

Manage stress. In addition to causing lack of sleep, which can make the skin look tired, stress can cause hormonal changes that lead to breakouts and even hives. Slow down your pace and take steps to reduce stress.

The skin is the largest organ of the body, and, at times, it can seem invincible. However, skin is not immune to disease or other conditions, so men and women should emphasize skin care as part of their grooming routine.

Ridge residents have worst commute

Happy Birthday Canada!

Have a safe long weekend! #102 - 23015 Dewdney Trunk Rd., Maple Ridge • 604-476-4530

Metro Vancouverites have Canada’s fourth longest commute to work at an average of 28.4 minutes, according to new data released by Statistics Canada.

Maple Ridge workers have it worst, battling traffic for an average of 35.2 minutes, while the commute is as much as 33 minutes in the Tri Cities and 31 minutes in Surrey.

The numbers were contained in the voluntary longform National Household Survey conducted as part of the 2011 Census.

The region’s shortest commute was 24.3 minutes in North Vancouver City, where residents spend even less time getting to work than Vancouverites, who average 25.4 minutes.

Metro commuters overwhelmingly commuted by private vehicle – 70.7 per cent – but that’s down from 74.4 per cent in 2006.

Car pooling remains infrequent, with less than five per cent of commuters saying they were passengers in private vehicles.

Public transit use was 19.7 per cent in Metro Vancouver, behind Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa-Gatineau, which had transit usage rates of 20 to 23 per cent.

Transit ridership was up from 16.5 per cent reported in 2006.

Broken down between travel mode, the findings show Metro commuters spent much longer getting to work if they took public transit – one possible reason why many still prefer to drive.

The average transit rider here commuted for 40.9 minutes compared to 26.4 minutes for motorists in private vehicles.

Walkers averaged a 14.4-minute stroll to work while cyclists biked on average 23.8 minutes.

TransLink hopes to eventually whittle the share of car trips in the region down to 50 per cent, while increasing the number of people who take transit, cycle or walk.

TransLink spokesman Derek Zabel said the Statistics Canada findings are consistent with TransLink data, particularly on the growth of public transit.

“We are increasing our ridership,” he said. “We have seen an 84 per cent increase over the last decade, equal to 109 million more transit trips.”

Transit trips also increased in the last year, he said, through more efficient use of existing resources, with no extra injection of money.

Despite a huge push to add bike lanes, particularly in Vancouver, there’s little sign of cy-

cling getting out of first gear as a way of getting to work.

Just 4.4 per cent pedalled to work in Vancouver, while cyclists made up just two per cent of commuters in North Vancouver, 1.3 per cent in flat Richmond and less than one per cent in most of the rest of the region.

The car remains king in the Abbotsford-Mission area, where 92.2 per cent of workers commuted by private vehicles, just 2.5 per cent used public transit, 2.6 per cent walked and 0.8 per cent biked.

By the #s • Vancouver – 25.4 minute average commute, transit use 30 per cent; • North Vancouver City – 24.3 minute average commute, transit use 22.8 %; • Burnaby – 29.1 minute average commute, transit use 28.1 %; • Richmond – 25.9 minute average commute, transit use 18 %; • Coquitlam – 31.8 minute average commute, transit use 17.1 per cent; • Maple Ridge – 35.2 minute average commute; transit use 9.5 % • Surrey – 31 minute average commute, transit use 12.8 %; • Langley Township – 29 minute average commute, 3.5 % transit use.

Jesus is ready to make you clean

I

love the story found in the Bible in the Book of Matthew (Chapter 8), where Jesus heals a man that has the disease of leprosy.

Jesus has just finished teaching his disciples up on a mountainside and as they are coming down the mountain a huge crowd begins to Acts of Faith follow him.

A man with leprosy Josh Arrington runs up to Jesus and kneels before him and says: “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

This man was taking an incredible risk because, in his condition, he was seen as an outcast in society. And if a Jewish person were to touch him, they would be labeled as an unclean person, as well. They would then have to go to the Jewish temple to begin the process of purification to become clean again.

And so this man dared to walk into a crowd and expose himself like this.

He was desperate and he knew if anyone could make him clean, it would be Jesus.

He was willing to take that risk because he knew the reward would be greater if Jesus would just be willing to make him clean again.

I can imagine at this point in the story a hush came over the crowd and everyone stopped in their tracks to see what Jesus would do next.

Then what Jesus did next was unbelievable, unthinkable, and unimaginable, at least to everyone else in the crowd.

He reached out and touched the man and said: “I am willing. Be clean.”

Why would he touch the man when the

power to heal him was in his words alone?

Why would he risk touching a leper when there really was no need to do it?

I think the touch of Jesus is the beauty of this story. There is no one on our planet that Jesus is not willing to reach out and touch today. It does not matter who you are, what you have done, where you have been, what our society says about you, or what your situation is. Jesus is ready to reach out and touch you and make you clean.

The words of Jesus have power and authority over all things, but it is the touch of Jesus that will meet you right where you are at no matter what your circumstances are.

The words of Jesus have power and authority over all things.

Celebrate!

August “Early Bird Shotgun Special”

What we have to do is be willing to come and kneel at the feet of Jesus and call him Lord just like the man with leprosy did in the story and let Jesus touch us.

Jesus will never be your good luck charm to get you what you want and fix all your problems on your terms.

If he is truly Lord, then we come and lay our lives down and surrender to his terms and allow his healing touch and his voice of truth to set us free from the things of this world that cause us to be unclean, as well.

Are we desperate enough to take that risk even if it means kneeling alone in a crowd of people?

Josh Arrington, lead pastor Church on the Rock, Pitt Meadows.

Secret Ridge brings paired homes to Coquitlam

A different type of attached home Mission Group Properties is bringing a different type of home to Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain with Secret Ridge, which offers unique “paired homes.”

A paired home is attached like a townhome, but is much larger and has the feel of a single-family residence. The paired homes at Secret Ridge are 35 feet wide, which is more than double the usual size of a townhome.

“We gave careful consideration in the design of the homes’ layouts, with the homeowner in mind,” says Mission Group President Randall Shier. “These large duplex-style homes look, feel and act more like a single-family home, but at a very attractive price point.”

The homes have been particularly attractive to downsizers, in part because of the special features. One of those is the master-on-main layout that allows you the flexibility and convenience in the long term. One of the floorplans actually features two master suites, for those who prefer to have their own sleeping quarters or a guest space.

“Homes offering wider layouts, larger sizes and most importantly, a master bedroom on the main floor is not commonly offered in Coquitlam,” says Coquitlam councillor Mae Reid.

For more information about Secret Ridge, visit www.secretridge.ca or call 604-725-8126.

caretaker George Wright is sure to be part of why your every experience at your cottage getaway will be wonderful.

Wright will be available to help you plant a flower garden, grow vegetables, teach you about woodworking or just sit around and have a chat. He has been one of the inspirational forces behind The Cottages at Seabright Farm, and it’s obvious to even the most casual observer how passionate he is about everything he gets involved with.

“You can walk out your door and grab vegetables, herbs and fruit for dinner,” Wright says. “There’s nothing like this anywhere.”

Because of both the elevation and south slope of the entire property, you’ll find a gorgeous view no matter where you purchase. The two-or-morebedroom cottages will include stone fireplaces, high ceilings, sunny window seats, hardwood flooring, relaxing

decks and covered porches. Srigley says that a family “can start with a cozy cottage and then over time, add studios or guest suites attached by breezeways, garages with lofts and potting sheds.”

A circa-1895 cottage has been lovingly preserved and, along with the community barn and gardens and a swimming pool, will become Seabright Farm’s gathering place, plus a venue to hold art shows for local artists, cooking demonstrations, musical performances, and of course, wine tastings!

Cottages on large ocean-view lots start at $399,000. Only 15 lots out of a total of 57 are being released this summer. For more information, visit www.seabrightfarmcottages.com or call 1-888-732-6915. A preview weekend will take place on June 29 to July 1, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and interested buyers are encouraged to pre-register online and call or email for an appointment time.

‘Point Roberts has character’

Oceanfront relaxation at The Cottages at Seabright Farm

By Kerry Vital

“Look at that sunlight filtering through the trees,” says Wayne Knowles as he drives onto the property at The Cottages at Seabright Farm. “This is a once in a generation opportunity.”

Knowles, the development partner for The Cottages at Seabright Farm, located in Point Roberts, is extremely excited about the project and what it means to the community.

Point Roberts has long been a popular spot for Canadians, especially those from the Lower Mainland looking for a quick and easy getaway without having to deal with a long drive or a ferry. Just across the border from Tsawwassen, you’ll find a relaxing atmosphere with a charming feel, great weather and plenty of activities to keep you as busy as you want to be.

“There’s so many things you can do,” says Knowles. “Or you can do nothing at all.”

The Point Roberts Golf and Country Club is a full 18-hole course for when you’re in the mood to hit the links, or pay a visit to the Lighthouse Marine Park, where you can find plenty of opportunities to see orca whales, comb the beach or go clamming or crabbing.

The 275-acre Lily Point Marine Reserve is just a moment down the road from The Cottages at Seabright Farm, with its sandy bluffs and tidal flats. Plus, the full-service Point Roberts Marina has over 900 slips and is just down the road. The unique restaurants and eclectic shops round out the experience.

“Point Roberts has character,” Knowles says. “It’s totally authentic and small enough to be a true community.”

The Cottages at Seabright Farm is located on 62 acres of direct southfacing waterfront, and the land is a rare and exceptional canvas. Vancouver award-winning visionary and design specialist Cal Srigley has been engaged to create a one-of-a-kind community.

“Point Roberts has a unique landscape that shapes our designs,” Srigley states. “Ocean bluffs with long vistas, protected meadows and fields, and sun-dappled woodlands characterize the community and especially our site.”

He notes that the sky, which is seemingly endless, lends character to the landscape. The cottages are based on Point Roberts’ historical summer cottages and simple farm buildings.

“We also incorporated many

“

We grouped houses together and created intimate enclosed yards around them, freeing up much of the landscape to give the appearance of farm clusters rather than sub-division lots,” Srigly says. “The overall effect is of a small rural settlement, with open land throughout and picturesque cottages that are charming, yet simple and authentic in their detail and materials.”

The Cottages at Seabright Farm are designed for family fun, whether you want to go horseback riding on one of the trails, learn something at the community barn and gardens on the property, wander the beach looking for driftwood or play board games on your deck.

MAPLE RIDGE • PITT MEADOWS

Digital design leads to wallpaper rebirth Hom es by Robert Prince

I

f you’re one of those homeowners who once cursed wallpaper because every house you purchased had to be stripped of the stuff before you could decorate, well, brush off those cuss words because the once ubiquitous wall coverings are back in a big way.

Yes, interior designers and homeowners alike are thrilled about the vibrant new looks of today’s “technologically-advanced” wallpapers.

“In the last two years, wallpaper has made a huge comeback,” says Chris St. Rose, a colour consultant at Maple Ridge Paint and Deco, the local Benjamin Moore paint dealer.

She says for years people were taking it off and going with paint and faux finishes. But the new colours, textures and styles are causing people to take another look.

Christa Robinson, interior designer and principle for CCSR Interior Design, concurs, noting wallpaper is big these days because of its versatility.

She says digital printing has allowed producers to replicate artwork and patterns much better, and to create bold, vibrant colours that weren’t possible in the past.

As a consequence, her clients are finding the possibilities of wallpaper to be irresistible.

Nazeem Merali, with Maple Ridge Paint and Deco, shows some popular wallpaper designs.

“There are all types of wallpaper patterns – traditional to classic, modern to country – something that could appeal to anyone,” says Robinson.

“Which is why it’s a great product for anyone who is looking to create an impact in their home.”

The big sellers are the metallics, greys, big prints, and geometrics,

says St. Rose, who adds that most of the time people are using wallpaper to create accents or feature walls.

“It’s probably too expensive for the average person to wallpaper their whole house,” says the 17year veteran of the paint and wallpaper industry.

“I would say the average double

Colleen Flanagan/the news

roll, which covers 55 square feet, will cost between $85 and $150.

But I’ve seen wallpapers that sell for $400 a square foot.”

Robinson, who has been decorating homes since 2008, notes a professionally installed eight-foot by 10-foot feature wall would cost about $500 using one of the less expensive wallpaper options.

Compare that to about $210 for a professionally painted wall and she says the cost differences are noticeable.

However, she also says the options are amazing, what with vinylcoated papers, fabric-backed and paper-backed papers, plus naturals like silks, linens, grass cloths, and even cork.

As with wallpapers of yesteryear, proper wall preparation is key if you want to be able to remove the paper without too much trouble later on, says St. Rose.

Advances in the adhesives used to make the paper stick also makes the job a lot easier these days.

“I think the big advantage of the new wallpapers is that they’re so much fun,” says Robinson.

“I always like to give my clients the option of wallpaper because even though it’s more expensive, it really does make a room pop in so many ways.”

If you want to experiment with wallpaper, she says the place to do it is the powder room. It’s small, and therefore affordable, lots of guests will see it. And “powder rooms are usually pretty utilitarian, so why not jazz this space up?”

So if you’re thinking about joining the wallpaper resurgence, remember Robinson’s advice: “Wallpaper really pumps up the aesthetic value and character of a room, and gives a uniqueness that so many people are in search of.”

Franklin goes from Mastodons to the Maple Leaf After impressive NCAA season, named to Team Canada

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

S

he has made a name for herself stealing bases, but only honest effort got Larissa Franklin onto the national women’s softball team.

The Maple Ridge softball product and college standout went through three days of fitness testing, baseball drills, and numerous intra-squad games against the best women in western Canada. At the end of it, she was one of only four B.C. girls picked for the team.

Franklin had a healthy lead, in the fact that she had already played for Team Canada at the junior women’s level – competing in the World Championships in Capetown, South Africa in 2011. Canada placed fifth at that tournament.

“That got my name out there, but I still had to work my butt off,” said Franklin.

“Making Team Canada has been my only goal and dream my whole life,” she said.

“It’s pretty cool to walk into a stadium in a Team Canada jersey.”

Her speed on the base paths had already got her a role with the senior team – she entered the Canadian Open in Surrey last year as a pinch runner.

Making the team as a starting outfielder will cap another great ball season for Franklin, who won many

accolades for her season with the IPFW (Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne) Mastodons.

She was on the academic all-district team, named for success on the field and academically, as she is studying biology and working to become an occupational therapist.

She gets on base, then makes things happen.

Franklin is batting .358 through her first two years with the program, scoring 83 runs, fourth most in program history, while her 53 stolen bases are a career school record, as she owns each of the top two singleseason stolen base totals in program history.

“Any opportunity, I look to go,” she said. “I don’t like to stay on first base.”

“My coach expects me to steal every time I get on base.”

That same terrier quickness also makes her a formidable defender.

Franklin’s centre field is where fly balls go to die.

She is part of a program on the upswing, as the Mastadons won their conference, and went to the regionals for the first time in school history. It was a unique experience, playing in big, beautiful stadiums, packed with ball fans.

“Americans take their sports seriously,” she observed.

There’s more of the same in store this summer. She will play in the prestigious Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship, July 12-22 in Surrey. Team Canada, is currently ranked fourth in the world softball standings.

Maple Ridge fastball phenom Larissa Franklin, seen in action during a great season of NCAA competition. The sophomore was second on her team in batting average, while at the same time setting new school records for stolen bases.

On to ball hockey finals After finishing third in league play, Team Piggery won the minor division of the Ridge Meadows Minor Ball Hockey Association playoffs.

In doing so the team advanced to the provincials, under way this weekend in Delta.

The local playoffs started on June 15 at Planet Ice, Team Piggery observing a moment of silence for teammate Tyler Galloway, the 12-year-old boy who suffered a brain injury after colliding with a vehicle while longboarding.

The opposing teams met at the center of the arena floor, holding up Tyler’s jersey, which had been signed by his teammates in support of his ongoing recovery.

Team Piggery won that first game 7-2.

The team won its sec-

ond contest 7-4, followed by a 5-3 win in the semi-finals.

The final game, for a chance to go to the provincials, was a nail-biter against the Blade Runners.

The teams entered the second half tied 0-0.

Piggery’s Liam Foster opened the scoring, as he went far side and top corner after getting a long pass from Will Fraser.

The Blade Runners tied the game three minutes later.

With 3:25 remaining in the game, Piggery’s Adam Watson moved a pass to Damian Richards, who found Marc Gautreau wide open on the far side for the goahead goal.

Foster put the game away with an empty netter with 42 seconds left.

“The game was a hard

fought, everyone played well, as they have all year,” said coach Jon Silcox. “Liam was a big difference today. It was nice to see Marc step up when he needed to.

‘Richie’ (Damian Richards) has been able to find ways to make amazing passes all year.”

“Nicky [Tulip] was huge in net for us, easily the reason why we were so successful in the playoffs. He made the key saves when needed.”

Team Piggery is competing in a division at the provincials against teams from Valley, Metro, and Richmond.

Other local call hockey teams to qualify for the provincials this weekend: (peanut division) Dragons; (pup) Earthquakes; (peewee) Giants; (major) Black Aces; (junior) C-Bar South.

A pair of local girls are also among the top female golfers in B.C. at this week’s competition.

Keanna Mason was tied for 23rd after shooting 77-79-78 for a score of 234.

The final round is to go today.

Maple Ridge’s Sandra Turbide finished a tidy sixth in the B.C. Women’s Golf Mid-Amateur championship. Shooting three rounds, Turbide finished with a score of 243, with rounds of 7983-81, for plus 21.

The winner was Port Alberni’s Christina Proteau with a runaway score of 226.

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

It is with deep sadness but great faith that we announce the death of John (Jack) Varcoe, loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. Left to mourn his passing but cherish his memory is his wife of sixty-one years, Thelma, his children Thomas (Alana), Nola van der Pauw (Richard), Kathy McBryan, Lisa Lawrance (Ron), his grandchildren Darren, Amanda, Nicolas, Kristen, Rick, Trevor, Mathea, Joshua, Kevin and great grandchildren Daven, Alivia, and Brooklyn. Jack was born in Rossland, BC and grew up in the Trail area. He attended the University of British Columbia where he received both Commerce and Law degrees. He practiced law for nineteen years in Trail where he met and married Thelma and raised their four children. Jack moved his family to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory in 1968 upon appointment as the Federal Magistrate. In 1973 he was appointed the Provincial Court Judge of Maple Ridge where he served the community for eighteen years. He continued to work as an ad hoc Provincial Court Judge in the Lower Mainland for another five years. Jack enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, playing Bridge and various card games. He was an active member of the communities where he lived involving himself with Rotary, Knights of Columbus, and several other organizations. Prayers will take place on Thursday July 4 at 7 pm, followed by Funeral Mass on Friday July 5 at 11 am at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parish, Mission, BC. Dad, you are forever in our hearts.

ELLIOTT, George Ezra George passed away suddenly on June 18, 2013 at the age of 45. He was born February 10, 1968 in Vancouver, BC. He is predeceased by his father Robert Elliott and leaves behind his mother Mary Elliott (nee Petrie); sister Jennifer, nephews Zachary, Matthew, Jacob and niece Arianna.

He will be remembered for his love of music and kind heart.

George has touched many lives and will be sadly missed.

A Memorial Service will be held at Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel (Osbornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s), 11969-216th St, Maple Ridge, on July 2, 2013 at 2:00 pm.
