Federal gov’t criminalizes buying sex

Advocacy group still wants decriminalization of sex trade

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

The Conservative government’s plan to arrest men who buy sex and ban sex ads in print and online is a surprising move, says a Maple Ridge councillor who’s raised the issue previously.

“It very much surprised me in that it does seem to be in the other direction,” said Coun.

Bob Masse. “I’m not sure that’s going to fly in the courts either.”

Federal Justice Minister Peter MacKay announced Wednesday that for the first time in Canada, buying sex would be criminalized.

Under Bill 36, the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act, men could face a $500 fine for a first offence of buying sex. Maximum penalty for the offence would be five years in jail.

As well, advertising sexual services, both in print and online, would be banned, while prostitutes would be barred from selling sex in areas where children could reasonably be expected to be present.

Strike vote looms over schools Final report cards might not be handed out

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

Report cards may not be done, a full strike looms, and students across the province walked out of class this week to protest the chaos creeping into the education system.

Rotating strikes will continue next week, on Thursday.

Teachers will take a full strike vote on Monday and Tuesday.

Results will be announced Wednesday, then the B.C. Teachers’s Federation must give 72 hours strike notice before escalating job action to a full strike.

The earliest the full strike could happen would be June 16, said Maple Ridge Teachers Association president George Serra.

On Wednesday, the Labour Relations Board ruled the government’s lockout, including cutting teacher wages by 10 per cent, is legal and can continue.

The union’s response was the fullstrike vote.

Students and parents should also

be prepared for the frustration of not having report cards ready, said Serra.

Some teachers will have already started preparing them, in the 45 minutes that the lockout allows them to stay in school after class.

But between cleaning their classrooms and helping students, there is little time left for reporting.

If this work doesn’t get done, the school district can’t force teachers to complete it, Serra said.

“It’s their lockout.”

Because teachers will be in various stages of completing report cards, he speculated some classes

would get report cards, others wouldn’t, and some students could get abbreviated reports.

Marking provincial exams, and taking part in extra-curricular activities, including graduation ceremonies, are likely to be impacted by the lockout. The union has told members they can attend grad ceremonies as guests, but not in a working capacity, if it is not being held at their work place.

In the sons of soldiers

A

70 years ago, one of largest military operations in history began to free Europe Stor y by Phil Melnychuk

A

hail of metal was screaming down from all directions as the Germans set up a vicious crossfire on Juno Beach and Bud Murray wondered if he would survive.

“When he came off the landing craft, there were bullets coming every which way,” said his son, Dave Murray.

“The German machine guns were set up so they could just crossfire.”

His dad was hit by either a bullet or shrapnel in the leg, but adrenalin had kicked in and he was able to find shelter behind armoured vehicles that were part of the second wave of Canadian troops storming the beach on D-Day in northern France, 70 years ago.

Then fate intervened.

Despite the withering fire, the driver of one vehicle – Dave figures it was a flame thrower – stuck his head out.

“He got his head shot off. The lieutenant yelled out, ‘Hey, can anyone drive this thing?’”

Bud thought if he was going to survive, he’d better try.

Once inside the vehicle, he figured out the controls and he made it off the beach and on to French soil to join the massive Allied campaign to push the Germans out of France, the Netherlands and Belgium.

It was the luck of the draw if you made it back or not.

Bud survived the next year as Canadian troops fought north from the Normandy region of France, into Belgium, liberated the Netherlands and fought their way into Germany to help end the war in May 1945.

One day brought a lasting memory, when his unit liberated a concentration camp Dave believes was in Germany. His dad had to drive the bulldozer to do a mass burial of the victims.

Dave said the camp’s colonel kissed his dad’s foot after he gave him a cigarette.

“That really shook him up, having to bury that many people. That was quite a trauma having to do that.”

Today, June 6, marks the 70th anniversary of that day, the largest

until 1939 – there was no money.

“The second the war started, there was money everywhere.”

Jobs were plentiful.

“It was like night and day. It was like somebody turned a switch on.”

seaborne invasion by Allied troops landing in northern France to start the beginning of the end of the Second World War. When it was over, Bud returned like thousands of others who paid the price, and started a career in construction, driving the heavy equipment like he drove in the army, and raised a family of eight children.

“He was quite a person. He was a boxer. He was a physical trainer instructor, as well,” Dave said.

“He was a ‘not-take-any-prisoners’ kind of guy.”

One thing that stuck in his dad’s mind, though, was the gratitude of the Dutch to Canadians for liberating their country from German rule.

“That’s something that impacted

him as long as he would remember.

He thought that was really gracious of them.”

Before the war, Bud, from Qu’ Appelle, Sask., was a pro hockey player with the Flin Flon Bombers. He even had the chance of trying out with Eddie Shore’s team in Springfield, Missouri, but opted for the army instead.

It was either sign up for Shore “or go off to war,” Dave explained.

Dave says 70 years is a significant chunk of history and that most veterans have since passed on. His dad died in 1984, at age 73. With collective memories starting to fade, Dave said he might write something for his Pitt Meadows Today web paper, and he might ask for a moment of reflection at the City of Pitt Meadows council, where he’s

serving his first term.

Dave agrees, his dad’s war experiences, which led to his drinking, affected him as well.

“Absolutely. I think it certainly increased alcoholism.”

When his dad’s old army buddies came over, they’d start to reminisce.

“As a kid, you listen to the stories.

You don’t know what’s factual. We listened to the rhetoric.”

He agrees, his dad’s past affected his own present.

“It absolutely does. It doesn’t matter what war you look at, it affects generations through generations to come.”

But overall, Dave figures he’s gained more from his upbringing, saying he has a good social conscience.

“It helped build a good social fabric, in what I’m doing in politics.”

“It doesn’t matter what war you look at, it affects generations through generations to come.”

t 6’4”, Craig Speirs’s dad Bob stood out in a crowd.

“He was the tallest one in the platoon,” Speirs recalled.

That extra height came in handy on D-Day as Canadian troops fought for a foothold on a beach in northern France.

While the landing craft carrying the troops had tried to run into shore as far as possible, many soldiers were in over their heads when they jumped from the boats into the surf.

So Bob was there helping his comrades get to shore.

“To me, that says a lot about my dad,” says Speirs, a former Maple Ridge councillor.

Speirs’s dad signed up in Vancouver or New Westminster, then was posted to Regina Rifles and shipped over to England in April 1944.

He was a rifleman, then took on the job of motorcycle dispatch rider – the Second World War version of a text message. With no WiFi, messages had to be carried in a satchel on a speedy motorcycle across rugged country under enemy fire.

“His bike got hit a couple of times.

It was sniper fire,” said Speirs.

His headlights were shot out.

Bob, though, managed to survive – until he smashed his Norton motorcycle into a truck on in October 1944, driving the gearshift through his foot.

He may have hurt his foot, but the accident was a blessing in disguise. Bob was sent back to England to recover and while there met Craig’s future mom, Betty.

He met her while they were both riding bicycles.

“She was a bomb girl, working a lathe, making parts for torpedoes,” Speirs says proudly.

“She was specially trained to run the lathe and was one of the first women to do so.”

And he recalls his dad approving of the movie, Saving Private Ryan, saying it was a good account of what the Allied invasion was like.

Craig’s recollection of his dad’s wartime exploits 70 years ago are sketchy, however.

“He didn’t like to talk about it much. It wasn’t that pleasant a memory.

“He didn’t join the legion. He didn’t march in any Remembrance Day parades – until the (50th) anniversary of the liberation of The Netherlands.

“Then he got his medals and marched in the parade. He was very proud of that. That was the only time he talked about his experiences,” Craig says.

“And then he put them away – there you go.”

Instead, it was his letters to friends and family that tell the story about those momentous days.

“I learned more from his letters home.”

According to some of them, which the family has recorded digitally, there were bright spots.

“It makes me laugh when we get bombed,” Bob wrote. “The fellows are in their trenches.

“When a bomb lands, they all look up to see if a cow got hit. If it did, we have steaks and onions for supper.

“They sure can carve up a cow in a hurry,” Bob said in one his letters, dated July 21, 1944.

In another letter, from Aug. 4, Bob adds some more colour from fighting in France.

“I figure I’m pretty good at French now.

I was talking to some French girls the other day and I got everything they said.”

“I’m trying to get a few real good souvenirs, such as a German revolver, if I can, and some trinkets also,” he

He also complained of sore feet: “But today, a French lady brought me a kettle of hot water and some sort of powder. It really done them good.”

When Bob and Betty returned to Canada, he spent most of the rest of his career as a psychiatric nurse in Riverview Hospital.

He kept in touch with a few buddies from the war days. One of them was so emotionally wounded “he limped

through life,” heading off into the woods for a month every so often.

“Because he was so messed up.”

Craig said his dad would talk about the war in relation to that.

He wouldn’t talk about the things he’d seen, just that he’d seen them.

His dad’s easy-going nature didn’t allow him to carry any of the horrors of war.

Instead, the couple just put the war behind them and raised a family of five.

His dad’s generation did a lot for the next.

“He was glad to pay that price. He always thought of others first,” Craig said. “One generation sews the seeds, the other generation picks the fruit.”

Like Dave Murray, Craig won’t do much for the 70th anniversary of D-Day. He might go to a parade, if there is one.

“It gives me deep appreciation to those who’ve given so much so we can enjoy our freedom.”

Accused: ‘Murder just happened’ Defence paints picture of confused suspect

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

A lawyer for a Maple Ridge man on trial for murdering a friend suggested his client was confused and high when he confessed to police.

Kevin McCullough continued to grill Sgt. Adam McIntosh Wednesday in New Westminster Supreme Court, repeatedly asking the homicide investigator why he failed to notice Adam Deboo was impaired by the narcotic Oxycodone.

McCullough noted over a span of 16 hours that Deboo took between 16 to 20 pills, 10 milligrams each, of the synthetic opiate before he admitted to killing Brandon Howson.

As per a doctor’s prescription, Deboo was allowed to have a maximum of 200 mg of Oxycodone per day - taking two tablets as needed up to 10 times a day.

McIntosh told the court that that was half of what Deboo said he normally took.

McIntosh added police followed the dosage described on the prescription issued by a doctor.

Pacing back and forth

in front of the jury, McCullough suggested police had “improperly administered” the drug.

“You knew if [Deboo] took more than two at a time, he ran afoul of the prescription and he could be getting high,” said McCullough, a veteran defence lawyer who represented Bobby Virk during the B.C. Rail trial.

“You controlled the Oxy, police controlled the Oxy.” Deboo, 35, was arrested in February 2012, three days after a passerby found Howson lying face down in a cranberry field at the end of 224th Street, by 144th Avenue.

Police allege Deboo killed the 26-year-old on Jan. 31, 2012 on the border of Pitt Meadows, stabbing him up to 80 times with a machete purchased from Canadian Tire.

After dumping Howson’s body, Deboo allegedly drove Howson’s SUV to Stave Lake, where he torched it.

Deboo has chosen a trial by jury and claims he killed Howson because he feared for his life and that of his family.

Howson was facing a drug trafficking charge at the time of his death.

He had also paid to bail Deboo out of jail and took care of over $3,000 in vet bills after Deboo’s great Dane was hit by a car.

In video and audio re-

cordings played for the court, Sgt. McIntosh, an officer with the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Team, took his time to make Deboo comfortable before drawing out a confes- Howson sion.

He allowed him to have smoke breaks and shared personal details of his life with Deboo.

Deboo initially lied about his involvement, saying he was fishing in Hope on the day Howson was murdered.

But after police revealed they had evidence and witnesses who pointed to his involvement, Deboo confessed.

He claimed his “back was against the wall” because Howson had threatened to hurt his girlfriend and daughter.

“I didn’t plan to kill him,” Deboo told McIntosh.

“I just did it … it happened so fast … one thing led to the next and the next thing you know I’m on top of him killing him.”

While cross questioning Sgt. McIntosh, defence pointed out discrepancies in the confession, noting Deboo couldn’t even remember how exactly he had injured his hand.

Deboo first told po-

lice he got the deep cut to his left hand while fishing, but during the confession told McIntosh he was wounded when his hand slipped down the jagged edge of the machete.

Minutes later, he changed his story, saying Howson grabbed the machete off him at one point and that’s when his hand was sliced.

“I just kept stabbing him over and over,” Deboo told the officer, while demonstrating how he killed Howson.

Defence continued to paint Howson as someone who Deboo was terrified of.

But Howson’s immediate family, who have been in court for much of the trial, remember him as a person who was always helping others.

He lived in a basement suite to help friends’ pay their mortgage, paid for two others friends to go to drug treatment programs and was captured in photograph taken during the Stanley Cup riot where he’s seen dragging a man who was beaten unconscious by the mob to safety.

Crown concluded its case against Deboo Thursday. Deboo is expected to take the stand in his defence next week.

Coroner warns of fentanyl danger Four overdose deaths in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

The B.C. Coroner’s Service is warning the public about a spike in overdose deaths from illicit use of the opiate fentanyl after 13 deaths in Fraser Health so far this year, including four in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

Three of the latter were in Maple Ridge. The 13 in four months is one more than all deaths from fentanyl in 2013.

“The danger appears particularly acute in the area covered by the Fraser Health Authority, including Surrey, Langley, Coquitlam and Maple Ridge,” said a press release from the B.C. Coroners Service, issued on Wednesday.

Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opiate that is used legitimately in hospital settings to treat pain, and as an anesthetic.

Liana Wright, coroner for the Fraser region, said it is unclear whether the illicit fentanyl has been illegally produced, or has been stolen from a hospital or pharmacy. It is a tragic mistake to

use it in the same way one might other medical opiates, such as morphine, she said.

Drug users could be killed on even their first use of fentanyl.

“It is much more lethal, and much more toxic than morphine,” said Wright, adding it is “by far” the most potent opiate.

Just handling the drug is a health risk, because it can be absorbed through the skin or mucous membranes.

Fentanyl could be illegally sold as more common narcotics like Oxycodone and heroin, and its victims appear to have used it the same way. The purchaser is unlikely to recognize fentanyl, which often does not appear any different to other opioids visually, and can be sold in similar packaging.

The Ridge Meadows RCMP street enforcement team has seized fentanyl, which was not found at the scene of an overdose.

“We know that synthetic opiate is in our community,” said an RCMP spokesman.

Fentanyl appears to be sold as Oxycodone, he added.

“Often users, and sellers, for that matter, don’t know what they’re dealing with,” he said. “You’re really playing Russian roulette.”

Based on the drug paraphernalia (needles or straws) found with the 13 victims, it appears four used the drug intravenously, four had snorted it, and in five cases it is unclear how the drug was taken.

Wright said fentanyl abuse is not common, but sporadic “pockets” of overdoses appear across North America.

She said people who struggle with addiction, or who choose to take narcotics, should do so at a site where medical assistance is readily available, in the presence of reliable people.

Asked whether drug users should use the Insite supervised injection site, Wright responded: “The B.C. Coroners Service supports any death prevention strategies or initiatives.”

Early signs of a fentanyl overdose include severe sleepiness, slow heartbeat, trouble breathing, slow or shallow breathing, snoring, clammy skin and trouble with walking or talking. If any of these signs are observed in someone who is known to, or suspected of, taking opioid or illicit drugs, 911 should be called immediately. Immediate use of an opioid antagonist, such as naxolone (Narcan), can reverse the effects of fentanyl.

Safety first

New federal legislation on prostitution seeks to penalize, with jail time and fines, those who buy sex and profit from the sale of it, but not those who sell it. Nor should they be.

The Conservative government’s bill comes in response to the striking down of the existing law on prostitution late last year by the Supreme Court of Canada.

In a 9-0 decision, the court decided that laws prohibiting brothels, living on the avails of prostitution and communicating in public with clients were over-broad. It ruled that Parliament has the power to regulate against nuisances, but not at the cost of the health, safety and lives of prostitutes.

It noted that selling sex is not a crime in Canada.

Nor is it under the new legislation, in all instances.

Those to be targeted by police under the new law include pimps and others who exploit sex workers, even those who advertise the sale of sex in print or online. It’s not yet clear if that leniency will extend to bodyguards hired by sex workers for security.

The bill would criminalize the act of selling sex in public places or where children could be expected to be present. Fines might range from $1,000 to $4,000 and jail time could be up to five years in jail for an offender who pays for sex – double that if it involves a minor.

The federal government has pledged $20 million to help sex trade workers exit that lifestyle.

But, as SFU criminology professor John Lowman says, such laws will only again drive the sex trade into out-of-sight places, where women will be more vulnerable to predators like serial killer Robert Pickton. They do nothing to make the work safer, such as creating safe houses or brothels, with body guards, or issuing condoms.

It makes no sense to say someone has the right to sell a service or product, but that someone else doesn’t have the right to buy it.

What the government should do is follow what the court ruled, and that is to protect those involved in the sex trade.

It can through decriminalization and regulation.

What’s the common denominator?

“We have had decades of discontent no matter who the government is, the Socreds, the NDP and us. What is the common denominator? The BCTF.” – Peter Fassbender.

B

.C. Teachers heard words like these, and Education Minister Pe- Along the Fraser ter Fassbender’s other Jack Emberly claim that “class size has nothing to do with educational outcomes” in the ’80s and ’90s.

As a striking teacher then, I waved banners that declared: “smaller classes = better learning.”

Teachers – backed by common sense – will never abandon class size and composition in contract. The system wouldn’t work if they did.

Ken Georgetti, former president of the Canadian Labor Congress, commended them for this on CBC radio, May 27th: “Teachers are bargaining for the quality of the product that produces future scientists, graduates, the doctors, the lawyers in our society. You don’t see other unions bargaining for that sort of thing.”

In Maple Ridge, support for teachers by students and DPAC chair Kellie Marquet shows growing awareness of the real reasons for the “decades of discontent.”

Class size and composition limits equal student learning.

The common denominator? It’s not the

Q

uestion of the week:

BCTF, but the irresponsibility of the Liberals who have challenged a court order to return 2002 class size and composition limits to teacher contracts. That’s more decades of discontent.

For class size and composition today, I dug up my old flag, showed it to local teachers on their picket lines and asked, “Are the words still relevant?”

They told me about kindergarten classes with increasing numbers of troubled youngsters, some violent, whose behavior creates management problems not seen before. Intermediate teachers told me of classrooms with seven kids with learning disabilities, behavior disorders, autism.

Many await designations – the only hope for extra support – because of backups in testing.

In B.C., 1,400 specialist teachers, 100 counsellors, 300 teacher librarians have been lost since 2002.

Libraries, unfunded, only stay open if a “funded” department – technology for example – moves in as a co-tenant.

More bodies in classrooms and unsupported special needs seriously impacts teaching, and learning. The common denominator? It’s government policy that treats class size and composition as budget expenses instead of investments in youth.

“Class size matters,” says Diane Schanzenbach, an educational policy researcher at Chicago’s Northwestern University.

In a 2014 report, Does Class Size Matter, she writes: “Class size is an important determinant of student outcomes,” citing the Tennessee Student Achievement Ratio Experiment –“the gold standard in

research.

“The results from STAR (1999) – which show significant improvements in math and reading test scores – are unequivocal,” says Schanzenbach.

It showed children who attend small classes in early grades (15-20 students) benefit over their entire lifetime, and such sizes enable teachers to be more effective because they had more time to employ a variety of strategies to promote learning.

“For example, they closely monitored the progress of student learning in their classes,” says Schanzenbach, “were able to re-teach using alternative strategies when children did not learn a concept, and maintained superior personal interactions with their students. Smaller classes produced higher test scores for all students and gains were larger for students from low socio-economic status families.”

Policymakers should carefully weigh the efficacy of class-size policy against other potential uses of funds, says Schanzenbach. “Money saved today by increasing class sizes will result in more substantial social and educational costs in the future.”

Anybody considering a run at school board in November should note where students and parents stand on these issues, and adopt a platform based not on zero cuts to programs and services for students, and demand the return of those slashed by government and rubber stamped by compliant, weak school boards over the decades.

THE NEWS/letters Public schools versus private ones Editor, The News: Re: Rally organizers heard in Victoria (The News, May 30).

Stacy MacLennan says “that taxpayer dollars should not be given to private schools.”

She is not being logical.

Parents who send their children to private school, sometimes at great sacrifice, pay full school taxes for public schools and pay half for their own child.

If they lost their subsidy, there would be an influx into public schools. Then the taxpayers would pay full cost of educating those students.

Also, a lot of the private schools have nowhere near the programs and assistance of public schools.

So to reiterate, now taxpayers pay half of private school tuition, and if they closed, taxpayers would pay full cost.

Also, at private school they have less nonsense, as is occurring now.

online comments Raise first Tom Fletcher · reporter and columnist at Legislative Assembly of British Columbia: Re: Letters: School culture is unravelling.

It’s a staple of these disputes. Teachers profess to media that they don’t care about a raise. The union low balls the cost of benefit demands. Yet the membership of the BCTF is uniquely in control of what demands are presented. The raise comes first, always.

• Rick Halas · works at The Tri-City News: Heartfelt ... and obviously biased. Dad wants a pay raise, he wants more benefits and he wants better working conditions. I do too; especially three months paid vacation. Let’s be clear about this, it’s not a question of government maltreatment of teachers, despite the emotions of the writer, it’s about “more” and “better” and comparison to other provinces – especially comparison with Alberta, whose particular oil wealth/ economy is routinely criticized by the BCTF. • Karen Acaster · Argyle Secondary School: What a thoughtful and articulate view of this mess. Sometimes it is the children who get it right. Good luck in your future endeavours, Caitlin, whatever they may be. :) • Leanne Dean: Well said Caitlin!

• Janet Malyk Page · Maple Ridge, British Columbia: Well said!

Time to step back Michael Morden · owner at ASC Security: Re: Maple Ridge teachers strike again Monday.

We all know what’s going on here. It’s time for government and the union to step back and let’s the kids finish their school year.

• Sid Siddique · Gdansk, Poland: Dock teachers’ wages by 10 per cent and then proceed to tell them they are free to continue to do what they have all always done during their recesses and lunch times, before and after school and much, much more, as a matter of course. They’re doing all the work they ever did and are now having their wages punitively rolled back. This is a new low for a government that claims ‘families first’ as its mantra. This rollback only serves to upset families of teachers. Perhaps the premier and her minister don’t consider teachers family material? Perhaps teachers with their astronomical salaries won’t notice the difference in a 10 per cent cut on top of the wages the government manages to hold onto from a striking workforce? ...

Taxing people out of Canada Editor, The News: I will make this short.

Everyone says it could be worse, you could live in Europe, where the gas is over $6 a gallon.

Wake up people, the gas here is now more then Europe.

Gas here is $6.82 a, imperial gallon.

That is $1.51 per litre times 4.52 litres to the imperial gallon, equalling $6.82.

This is friggin’ ridiculous. No wonder the line ups at the border are so long.

It is time for everyone to mass and have a one day strike, no work, no driving and see how the B.C. economy is affected.

Just think, almost every business would be closed.

Do you think the government would notice that type of uprising?

It is the only way to stop the governments from raping us with unrealistic taxes.

The government is so stupid in thinking we are going to put up with them picking our pockets. That is why the border line ups are so long.

Just think if the price of gas was more in line with the American price ($4 per U.S. gallon) people would stay here in B.C. and, in turn, buy there groceries here, which would contribute to the B.C. economy and provide a few more jobs. For God sakes, government, wake up.

High local gas prices are driving consumers across the U.S. border.

You can attract more commerce by keeping your citizens purchasing goods and gas in the country.

For a true look at what is happening to our consumers activities, look at the parking lot at Bellis Fair Mall, where you will find 90 per cent B.C. license plates.

Look in the Costco parking lot, where the majority of clients are B.C. shoppers, buying cheese, milk, chicken and eggs while they pick up a tank full of cheap gas.

THE NEWS

An interesting tidbit is that 86 per cent of Canada’s population is within easy reach of a U.S. border crossing. Do you think that this is happening across the country? I think so.

Wake up, government, and quit taxing your people out of the country. People’s hard earned money is there life’s blood and no government should have the ability to use it as there personal banking machine.

Kevin Buell Maple Ridge

Who is responsible for ever increasing taxes?

Editor, The News: I occasionally read the local papers and note the heady issues being discussed at council, like dogs making too much noise in an off-leash area (not that it wouldn’t be irksome to nearby residents).

Late last month I opened my tax notice to see that my taxes payable to Maple Ridge have gone from $2,454 to $2,850, which is a 16 per cent increase.

Out here in Ruskin, we don’t get a whole lot of services, no sidewalks or curbs and few streetlights.

If you see a police car out here, it is more likely an officer going home for lunch than it would be a routine patrol.

We do get the mower that last year came around well into fall to trim the dead and dying grass in the ditches.

My house value went up

$66,000 and my total taxes went up close to $600 when you include school taxes, GVRD fees.

I know, the mill rate is the culprit and not council.

Steve Miller Maple Ridge

Just one taxpayer Editor, The News: As I normally do each year at this time, I write to express my views on the extraordinary burden that our local government puts on each homeowner by way of property taxes.

Each time I write I receive no response.

One would think the bright bulbs down at municipal hall are all proud of their spending habits, especially the everincreasing salaries for the bureaucrats, and they would be happy to justify it to the good people of Maple Ridge with a

written explanation as to why they need so much money from the taxpayer each year.

Unless I am mistaken, Mr. Jim Rule, our district manager, is compensated annually more then our prime minister. If I am incorrect, please, Mr. Rule, set me straight with a rebuttal to my letter.

I believe you are paid in excess of $200,000, with and expense account for travel and such?

Given all that money, what type of performance are we to expect? A hold on our taxes?

A decrease on those taxes?

How about a long range plan to reduce and eliminate the property tax burden altogether?

Hey, that would be a feat recognized around the World. Well, not when it got to United Arab Emirates, where there are no taxes, whatsoever.

Actually, there are many na-

Settle teacher dispute with civility Editor, The News: Minister, please cease treating our teachers with contempt and disrespect.

You cannot justify your government’s actions with respect to the Supreme Court rulings.

Perhaps those of you in the legislature would like

a 10 per cent cut in pay, as well.

Most of our teachers are dedicated, caring, sincere.

To have this group of professionals continually attacked by your government is not acceptable.

Many teachers give countless hours to assisting their

students in many ways, from providing extra help, coaching, graduations, field trips and so on.

By imposing a 45 minute timeline for teachers to be in their schools before and after school is making it impossible for teachers to be involved with these activi-

tions who charge zero taxes.

This is achieved by using the natural resources of those nations to pay for the infrastructure and administration of their institutions.

We don’t do that in B.C. or Canada because all of the profits go to the corporations instead of the bounty, which is rightly the property of British Columbians.

We are stuck in a particular mode that does not allow bureaucrats to think outside the mould.

It’s past time to open the doors of municipal hall and allow a new, brisk wind of thought to blow into the building just to see what we can accomplish.

Whatever the district is doing now is not working when it comes to more and more and more taxes from the one single taxpayer.

Mike Boileau Maple Ridge ties. You should be ashamed for causing such angst.

There is a growing swell of discontent in the population over the way your government is dealing with the dispute with the BCTF. I hope your government will listen to the electorate and settle this dispute with civility, respect, and fairness.

Three cabinet ministers from Victoria will be visiting Maple Ridge over the next few weeks, one of them to look at a traffic bottleneck on Lougheed Highway.

Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone is to stop by in the next week and look at the last two-lane section of Lougheed Highway, between 266th and 287th streets.

“We’re going out to show him that,” said Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton.

“Actually, he brought it up. I think he wants to have his finger on the pulse … because it’s definitely something on the radar for the ministry. It is a priority.”

Dalton said engineers have already surveyed the area, with the aim of widening to four lanes.

But that portion of the road is in tough terrain and is complicated by the presence of a tower in the area.

“It definitely needs four-laning,” Dalton said.

According to a ministry traffic count in

February 2012, a total of 1,138 vehicles passed through the 272nd Street intersection eastbound and 741 went through westbound.

While the ministry acknowledged traffic volumes are growing, so far there have been no complaints from the public or district about congestion, the ministry said earlier.

Stone will also check out the remaining two-lane stretch of the Lougheed Highway from Silverdale to Mission.

He’ll also visit the Florence Lake Forest Service Road, for which the government has already spent $32,500 for design plans for an upgrade.

Last year, the provincial government announced $5 million for rerouting and improving a 12-kilometre stretch of the road leading to the proposed Tim Horton Children’s Foundation camp. A new campsite has also opened up in the area, increasing tourism potential.

Improving the road that leads to the Mission Interpretative Forest was identified in 2012 as a top priority for job generation, as part of the B.C. Jobs Plan.

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said he wasn’t aware that Stone

Carrier of the Week

was visiting, but he’d like to be on the tour.

Daykin said he’d also mention the project that he, along wit the of Pitt Meadows and Port Coquitlam have been pushing – for Dalton TransLink to create a RapidBus connection to the new Evergreen Line in Coquitlam.

The mayors announced in January they’d cooperate on funding a study for such a service, then would present it to TransLink.

But Daykin thinks Stone would likely refer him to TransLink.

There has to be a balance between building roads and transit, added Daykin, citing a roadpricing project in Sweden that allocates equally toll revenues to transit and roads.

What hasn’t been decided is whether a RapidBus route would follow Dewdney Trunk Road or Lougheed Highway.

Dalton said the area’s population has to increase in order for better transit to be offered. But he’d like to see a bus connection between Mission and Maple Ridge.

“To me, it doesn’t make a lot of sense that there isn’t at least something between the two.”

He said much has been done for transportation and transit, such as the Port Mann-Highway 1 Improvement Project

and the Evergreen SkyTrain line.

Maple Ridge commuters have been helped by the former, Dalton said.

“We’ve done a fair amount of work.”

Following Stone’s visit, Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk speaks to the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Chamber of Commerce on June 26.

“As far as post-secondary education, I think that’s something of interest to our region,” Dalton said.

He doesn’t expect an announcement, however.

Virk’s appearance comes after an April education forum in Maple Ridge during which the government gave Invest North Fraser a $110,900 grant to study labour trends in the area and to set out the options for a post-secondary institute in the Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission area.

The money, from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation, was given as part of the drive towards getting a multi-program school involving several universities to open in Maple Ridge.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett will also visit the area, June 11, to check out progress on the Ruskin Dam seismic upgrades.

‘We want to show students care, too’ Strike from front

A handful of students in each of the high schools in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows joined a province-wide walkout Wednesday morning.

“We’re here to protest teachers going on strike,” said Katrina Huppe, with a small group of Samuel Robertson Technical students protesting in front of the local school district office on Brown Avenue.

They were most worried by reports from their teachers that job action could interrupt final exams, that they might be to be taken in the fall, rather than the coming weeks.

Retaining the course information over a summer would be an issue, they said.

“We want our finals in June, before we forget [the material] by September,” said Huppe.

“People could be counting on the exam to boost up their marks.

The students could keep studying during the summer, so the course details stay fresh in their minds.

“Nobody wants to do that,” noted Katelyn Fawcett.

(From left) SRT students Katelyn Fawcett, Katrina Huppe and Alexandra Fawcett protest outside the school district office Wednesday morning.

Peter Fassbender said Thursday that students will write provincial exams.

There were only eight students on the front lawn of Garibaldi secondary.

“It’s a bit anticlimactic,” observed Samuel Kuris.

“Everyone is scared to leave class, because they’ve got a lot of work to do.

“But we wanted to show that students care, too. We’re in the middle of this.”

Louie Molnar said he is worried about having

administrators mark final exams, rather than teachers, who are most familiar with the course work.

Students from Maple Ridge secondary demonstrated in front of the board office on Tuesday, and on Wednesday a group of 30 students rallied in front of Pitt Meadows secondary.

At the bargaining table, the BCTF has reduced its pay increase proposal by one per cent over four years and offered other concessions in a move to end the stalemate.

The new BCTF wage proposal is an increase of 9.75 per cent over four years, plus cost-of-living adjustments.

BCTF president Jim Iker estimated that with inflation, the total increase would be 12.75 per cent over four years.

The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, representing the province’s 60 school districts, has proposed a 7.5 per cent increase over six years, and recently added a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year.

Blakeway said she was thankful for the many people in the school district who voted for her.

She was one of 11 women in the Metro Vancouver region to win an award, which were for various categories from entrepreneurship to technology.

Blakeway was nominated for project HELLO, (Helping Everyone Locate Loved Ones), which has reconnected hundreds of people living on the streets in the Downtown Eastside with their friends and family.

The educator has also used the volunteerrun project to inform young people about the issues surrounding homelessness.

Pitt Meadows council supports delay of $250 million waste incinerator Coun. Elkerton: Be mindful of cost to taxpayer

body do a cost-benefit analysis while presenting a solid business case for it.

The motion quoted Dr. Douw Steyn, an atmospheric scientist at the University of British Columbia who has been studying air quality issues in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley for more than 30 years.

Steyn expects “more coughing, smog and respiratory illness if the regional garbage incineration plan goes forward.”

Elkerton is concerned about how much Pitt Meadows’ taxpayers will have to contribute towards its construction, which she calculated to be at least $3.5 million.

That doesn’t include operating, maintenance and management costs,

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

Pitt Meadows council supported their Maple Ridge counterparts Tuesday in calling for a two-year delay to Metro Vancouver’s plan to build a $520 million waste incinerator.

“The costs to the city is something we should watch,” said Coun. Janis Elkerton.

The District of Maple Ridge passed a motion last week citing concerns with the proposed incinerator and requesting that the regional

she noted.

Maple Ridge has tallied their share to be $15 million.

“I just think it’s common sense that we don’t strap our municipality financially and also burden the environment with something that shouldn’t even be used at this point,” said Elkerton.

Support for the motion was not unanimous, however, with councillors Gwen O’Connell and Tracy Miyashita asking that the city get more information before council takes a stance.

O’Connell wants a presentation to council from Metro’s Zero Waste committee.

“With all due respect, Coun. Elkerton, how can we scare the public

into this? Nothing has been decided.”

O’Connell also noted that several European cities have waste-toenergy incinerators, including one in the heart of London, that generates electricity.

Metro Vancouver’s proposal, however, has many critics.

A study published last year by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives recommended Metro Vancouver not build any new waste-toenergy plants and phase out its existing garbage incinerator in Burnaby.

In particular, the study noted plastics and paper – key materials that should be diverted for recycling – contribute the most energy when burned.

Physiotherapy Joanne Pinlac MPT, registered physical therapist is welcoming new patients.

He noted that in some countries where prostitution is legalized, it’s led to a huge influx of foreign sex trade workers controlled by organized crime.

Steven Lamothe, chair of Maple Ridge’s social planning advisory committee, said he’ll put the new legislation on to the committee’s agenda for its July meeting. But he sees some positives in the bill.

By focusing on those buying sex, sex trade workers could have more protection. According to the justice ministry, prostitutes would be protected from legal action against them, unless they were selling sex in an area where children are commonly present.

Without fear of legal threat, prostitutes could contact police more often. As well, people doing business with prostitutes, such as pharmacists or security companies, also wouldn’t be prosecuted, unless the relationship was exploitative.

That could reduce the number of street workers in Maple Ridge, while allowing women

to stay safer, being able to operate more as a business, Lamothe said.

“It gives women the opportunity to look at things like having security and drivers and gives them some protection.”

But the crucial thing is how the law is implemented, and it could push prostitution further underground, he added.

A Vancouver group that represents sex-trade workers, though, is calling for the government to turf the bill and introduce a law decriminalizing sex work.

The Providing Alternatives, Counselling and Education Society says laws that criminalize buying of sex increase the risk of violence. Vancouver police are already following that approach, which pushes workers into more isolated and dangerous areas, it said in a release.

“What sex workers in Canada want is decriminalization,” says Sheri Kiselbach.

“Decriminalization not only has been proven to increase safety and access to legal protections, but recognizes

that sex workers, too, have worth and dignity.”

The ban on advertising sex services could also drive workers from the safety of indoors to the outside, she added.

Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge MP Randy Kamp says the intent behind criminalizing buyers is to reduce demand for prostitution.

And banning the communication for sexual services in areas where children are commonly present “is necessary to protect communities,” he said Thursday.

Kamp added that the Conservatives disagree with the NDP and Liberals, who think prostitution should be legalized.

“Jurisdictions that have legalized prostitution have significantly higher rates of human trafficking for sexual exploitation and we think that’s unacceptable.”

Kamp said the minister consulted widely, receiving 31,000 responses, including from more than 100 front-line organizations.

Ottawa is kicking in $20 million over five years to help prostitutes leave the lifestyle.

The new law was introduced after the Supreme Court of Canada late last year struck down parts of the existing law, such as keeping a brothel, or living off the avails of prostitution and communicating public place for its purpose.

Ridge Meadows RCMP say they’ll wait until after the legislation is passed before deciding on enforcement. That policy will be determined in consultation with E Division staff and Crown counsel.

A federal survey of Canadians released June 1, following governmentled consultations, found 56 per cent of respondents think it should be a crime to buy sexual services, but 66 per cent said it shouldn’t be illegal for sex workers to sell their services.

A study by UBC researchers released earlier in the week argued a Canadian move to the above system, known as the Nordic Model would force prostitutes to work in riskier conditions where they have less control over their health and safety.

Survey finds split on criminalizing sex trade Black Press Most Canadians think it should be legal to sell sex but not to buy it, according to a national survey.

Fifty-six per cent of the more than 31,000 respondents in federal consultations said it should be a criminal offence to buy sexual services, but a stronger majority of 66 per cent said it should not be a crime for sex workers to sell their services.

Another 62 per cent said it should be illegal to economically benefit from prostitution of an adult, although many respondents called for exemptions so prostitutes can hire bodyguards and drivers while criminalizing exploitation by pimps and others.

Nearly 120 responses came from various organizations, about half of which favoured the Nordic model criminalizing only the buyers, 31 per cent urged decriminalization and 10 per cent backed outright prohibition of buying and selling.

Hearken back 100 years this Pitt Meadows Day City celebrates with centennial theme staff reporter

This year’s party to celebrate Pitt Meadows promises to be bigger and better as the city marks its centennial.

Originally started 74 years ago as a strawberry tea to cheer up the community during the Great Depression, Pitt Meadows Day has grown into a much anticipated annual event that begins with a hearty pancake breakfast and ends with a bang – fireworks lighting up the sky.

Fittingly, the centennial is the theme for this year’s celebration, with activities in the park being extended to 8 p.m. Saturday.

“We’ve asked everybody in the parade to consider a heritage approach,” said Rick Higgs, of the Pitt Meadows Day Society.

There will be a heritage photo booth where groups can don period costumes and get their pictures taken.

“Come to meet as a community and enjoy a celebration of events and summer fun for the whole family,” he added.

Events • 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.: Pitt Meadows Lions Club host a pancake breakfast at Heritage Hall. $4/ adult, $2/ children 12 & under;

• 9 a.m.: Parade participants check-in at the booth on the corner of Blakely Road and Hammond Road.

• 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.: The parade starts at Blakely Road and Hammond Road, goes west on Hammond Rd. and north on Harris Rd. to end at the Harris Road Park.

• Noon to 5 p.m.: Enjoy free activities at Harris Park including crafts, carnival games, a

historic car display and the centennial photo booth.

• 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.: Centennial Stage at Harris Road Park will feature free concerts

by local artists including The Face Plants, Sm:)e, Sons of Ascent, Shades of Green, The Mortimers, Penelope Above, DaniElle and One More Girl.

Renovated homes go on Parade with the GVHBA

By Kerry Vital

Are you looking to renovate your own home and are in need of ideas? On June 8, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is hosting its annual Parade of Renovated Homes, and you’re sure to be inspired.

“Professional RenoMark renovators, many of them awardwinners, will be on-site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “The

renovators are very proud of being part of a professional industry which helps consumers transform their houses into dream homes.”

This year will include a record-breaking 22 homes all over the Lower Mainland, including North Vancouver, South Surrey, Burnaby and Tsawwassen. Among the renovations on the tour will be a beautiful redesign of a century-old home, incredible kitchen makeovers and the renovation of a home from the 1970s into a man’s dream retreat.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

De Wit notes that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend $3.8 billion this year on renovating their homes, and this event offers you the rare opportunity to walk through professionally renovated homes and gather some ideas and advice.

Admission is via $10 passport, which can be purchased at any of the homes and used to enter all of the homes on the tour. Children 17 and under are free. The parade takes place between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so be sure to plan your route before heading out.

Part of the proceeds from the sales of the Parade of Renovated Homes passports will be used to fund the purchase of tools, building materials and safety gear for a carpentry training program at Guildford Park and Frank Hurt Secondary schools in Surrey, helping teach students to build new housing and renovate existing homes and fulfilling the growing need for skilled workers.

For more information about the Parade of Renovated Homes and a list of the participating homes, visit www.gvhba.org/ events/eventcalendar.

Varsity, by Redekop Kroeker Development Inc., is a collection of condominium residences that are definitely at the top of their class. With gourmet kitchens, spacious floorplans and tons of natural light, there’s something for everyone at Varsity.

A higher standard of living at Varsity

By Kerry Vital

Redekop Kroeker Development Inc. is rising to the occasion with Varsity, a fourbuilding development in Langley that’s definitely at the top of its class.

“There’s a really nice sense of community here,” says project manager Mimi Chen, adding, “The features are fantastic; it’s an amazing value.”

The two-bedroom condominiums at Varsity are spacious and open, ranging from approximately 840 to 1,090 square feet. RKDI will release the final building for sale later this year, while buyers in the current buildings are able to move in immediately.

The interiors can easily be called exquisite, with oversized windows, wide-plank laminate flooring in the entry, kitchen and living area, and two designer colour schemes to choose between, Cambridge (light) and Oxford (dark).

The kitchen will suit any aspiring gourmet, with granite countertops complemented by alder shaker frame-and-panel-door cabinetry and a ceramic tile backsplash. Under-cabinet puck lighting and stainless-steel appliances are two other beautiful details in the kitchen.

“These kitchens feel like they’re in a house,” says Chen. “You can cook without bumping elbows with someone else; there are no compromises here.”

The bathrooms are soothing and spacious, with rich marble countertops (granite in the ensuite), ceramic floor tile accented by an antique white tub surround and shaker frame-and-panel-door cabinetry. In a masterstroke of convenience, the bathrooms feature motion sensor under-cabinet lighting.

There are other details at Varsity that are proving popular.

“People love the gas connection on the balcony for a barbecue,” Chen says. “If you’re downsizing, you’re not going to lose anything.

That’s a big thing for people.”

Part of the appeal of Varsity is its convenient location. It’s within walking distance to everything you’ll need, from shopping and dining to schools to leisure and recreation. Homeowners will also be close to the new Golden Ears Bridge, making commuting easy.

“We got a walk score of 77 at Varsity,” says Chen. “That’s unusual for Langley, where you often have to take a car to everything. Even though it’s close to everything, it’s very quiet as the buildings are set back from the street.”

Varsity is bordered by two protected green spaces, lending a natural feel to the project that adds to that quiet and calm feeling when arriving home.

“Where else can you get a two-bedroom home for this price, beside green space, and in this location?” asks Chen. “It’s a no-brainer.”

Two-bedroom homes at Varsity start at $229,800. For more information visit www. liveatvarsity.com, call 604-539-2200 or stop by the sales centre at 20068 Fraser Highway, Langley to see the two new display homes.

urbers often lurk online and in the small print of classified advertising sections.

But no matter where they choose to advertise their cars for sale, their driving desire is to make you a bad deal dressed as a good one.

Typically, the curber is a male, 45 or older, but they can come in all ages, shapes and sizes, according to the Vehicle Sales Authority.

The curber always has a story about the vehicle that sounds reasonable. However, sometimes there will be an elaborate yarn designed to elicit an emotional reaction; for example, he’s selling for his dad’s widow. This is a way they can “bridge” the registration – sell a vehicle still registered in someone else’s name.

The only way to reach him is by cell phone. He will always be alone and usually has a pay-as-you-go phone.

This enables him to switch SIM cards and use different numbers in ads for different cars. They usually use the same language and terms in all of their ads.

The viewing location will always be a parking lot, most often at a mall or large grocery store parking lot, and occasionally at service stations. He will avoid going for a test drive, saying that he’s not allowed to let someone else drive the vehicle for insurance reasons or the vehicle doesn’t have enough gas.

If the customer wants to take the vehicle for an inspection, the curber will accuse them of not trusting them.

Curbers are all good salespersons, they know how to deflect and direct conversations. They are engaging and portray themselves as being on the buyer’s side.

They want cash and will take the purchaser to their choice of autoplan agent.

he Lincoln MKZ is the first vehicle in a four-vehicle transformation coming from the premium carmaker over a four-year timeline.

The MKZ has been selling well, and the hybrid model has sold much better than Lincoln was expecting.

But the reality is that Lincoln has a long way to go to resurrect this once mighty American luxury brand.

It’s hoped the brand’s new fashion-forward design will attract younger buyers, rather than the older crowd that traditionally purchases the brand.

Another is providing value, something luxury buyers are not used too.

The base MKZ and the hybrid have the same starting price of $37,960 • Looks: This big Lincoln is built off the same platform as the less expensive Ford Fusion. It could be argued that the front waterfall grille is dramatic and takes that base Ford sedan and turns it into the Lincoln with good effects.

The standard LED headlamps also make a statement.

It is the back of the car that I’m not sure about.

The super clean and rather square rear deck lid and bumper, framed by a full width taillight, look modern, but the rest of the car has sweeping lines. The back is chunkier looking.

One thing we really miss is a rear trunk release on the outside of the car; you have to use the key fob or the interior release.

When you open the trunk, the area for storing the hybrid battery pack really limits the amount of space for carrying larger objects.

• Inside: Front and centre is the standard MyLincoln Touch system, which is the same as the MyFord Touch system. If Lincoln wants to charge more for its products, it should install a different system, as Cadillac does with the Cue system.

It’s a German bearded iris revival

T

By Mike Lascelle

here was a time back in the 1940s and ’50s when German bearded iris and its many hybrids were standard fare in residential gardens.

These reliable perennials were easily divided and shared with friends or family at a time when there wasn’t a lot of disposable income to spend at the few garden centres that existed in those days.

But over the years, this old-fashioned flower seemed to fall out of favour, to the point where I rarely planted it as a landscaper back in the 1980s and ’90s.

Thankfully, gardeners seem to have rediscovered the dramatic beauty and diverse colour range of this easy-to-grow perennial, as it see it popping up in landscapes throughout Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

Although most of what we see are the tall bearded irises (taller than 28”), there are several height classifications of iris germanica, including miniature, standard and intermediate.

The huge blooms are often bicolored with the upper three petals being referred to as the ‘standards,’ the cascading lower three the ‘falls,’ and the fuzzy tuft at the base of the lower petals the ‘beard’.

The flowering season generally runs from May to June with each plant blooming a few weeks, although repeat-bloomers are also available.

German bearded irises prefer at least six hours of direct sun and require a welldrained soil with a neutral pH between 6.8 and seven, which means that you should probably incorporate some dolomite lime to our often acidic soils to sweeten them up.

They really are trouble-free except for division, which should occur every three to four years in late summer – neglecting this task will only result in spindly plants with few flowers.

The best planting time for new rhizomes

(Clockwise from left) Iris germanica ‘Anaconda Love,’ Iris germanica ‘Devil’s Lake’ and Iris germanica ‘Hello Darkness.’

runs from late July to early October, as they will need to root in before they face their first frosts.

Care should be taken not to bury the rhizomes too deeply (the top should always be showing) and a spacing of 18-24” is considered average. Also, be sure to add a little bone meal to the planting hole.

Established German bearded irises are drought tolerant and rarely need additional irrigation, except during the driest of weather.

They can be fertilized once in early spring and again about a month after the flowers fade.

Schreiner’s, a leading U.S. iris producer, sells its own organic sourced 6-10-10,

although you could probably substitute this with the more common 6-8-6.

In any case, avoid high nitrogen fertilizers.

The blooms make beautiful, albeit shortlived cut flowers and the best way to handle these is to harvest the stems in the morning with at least one flower. It will only last about 24 hours, but the other buds will also eventually open.

• On another note, it’s that time of year again when the Maple Ridge Garden Club puts on its June 22 Country Garden Tour in support of Sunshine Foundation’s Dreams for Kids.

This is the sixth such garden tour and the club has managed to fundraise close to $50,000 over the years.

The 2014 incarnation includes eight glorious gardens with such features as Fraser River views, an extensive rhododendron collection, fairy gardens and gnome homes, as well as resident owls.

Tickets are $20 and are available from Grow and Gather Nursery, Amsterdam Garden Centre and Triple Tree Nursery.

Mike Lascelle is a local nursery manager and gardening author (hebe_acer@hotmail.com).

• You can find a few descriptions and photographs of locally grown German bearded iris on my website at www.mikesgardentop5plants.wordpress.com.

THE NEWS/sports Pitt thrower hits lofty heights Marauder record holder will become an Aggie

by Nei l Corbe tt Black Press

O

livia Moriconi wasn’t sure how she would do at the provincials.

The Pitt Meadows thrower competed in her favourite event, the discus, and also in shot put last Saturday at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships in Langley. It was the ultimate meet in her high school athletic career – one that has seen her win an impressive scholarship.

But Friday night was the Pitt Meadows prom and dry grad, marking the culmination of 12 years of school, a right of passage, and one of the biggest nights of her life.

She didn’t want to miss out or get short changed on either score.

So she celebrated with her classmates until five in the morning, got three hours sleep, and had one eye closed as the car crossed the Golden Ears Bridge for the big meet.

“I was so out of it,” she laughs. “But I was able to focus and take first.”

The dominant Moriconi won the discus easily – her throw of 43.31m was more than three meters ahead of the silver medallist. She also took gold in the shot put, with a throw of 12.24m.

The discus throw wasn’t a personal best – last year Moriconi threw 44.24m at the Legion track meet, which is essentially the high school nationals. But it got the job done, and considering the circumstances, it was phenomenal.

Her athletic prowess, combined with a report card that should come out with lots of As and Bs, got Mori-

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Olivia Moriconi, who won two gold medals at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships, has accepted a NCAA scholarship. coni numerous offers from colleges and universities.

The decision came down to two U.S. schools, both with track teams in the prestigious NCAA. She visited New Mexico State, which was offering a full ride. But she chose Utah State University in Logan, where she will have to pay for her room and board, because it seemed a better fit.

New Mexico was brutally hot to her. Utah was a more intimate campus, surrounded by mountains, and with a climate that is more like home.

“It’s small, and very safe,” she said.

Moriconi has been looking at the throws by her future teammates with the Aggies, and those of other

competitors in the NCAA. She sees freshmen throwing 42m, which she could beat already, and seniors going 56m, which is an incredible feat.

But Moriconi knows improvement can come quickly. She went from throwing 36m to the 40mrange in the space of about a month.

And she is getting stronger through training.

“Up until this year, I didn’t do any real weight training – I just did it,” she said.

“The strength has definitely helped.”

Pitt track coach Lance Kraus said Moriconi is a natural, and he too can foresee her making huge strides as she trains and competes with the elite

athletes of the NCAA. He thinks her choice of school was a good one, and now a long-term commitment to her art, and learning to train toward a performance peak are ways she will see the discus sailing further.

“She will compete for Canada at some point,” Lance Kraus, Pitt Meadows track coach “She will compete for Canada at some point,” he predicts.

He said Moriconi has set school records that should stand for many years.

“She’s really well respected

within our team, and she’s humble and doesn’t put herself above anyone.”

Kraus was the one who encouraged her to try track and field back when she was in Grade 8.

“I starting throwing, and I loved it,” she said. “I love the people I’m surrounded by there, whether it’s training or competing.”

She said throwing coach Bradley Graeme has been a great teacher for her, which is necessary in an event like discus – which she prefers to shotput.

“It’s very technical, and very much about the little things,” she said.

Moriconi will study kinesiology, and is interested in working in physical rehabilitation.

Titans football program expands High school football has had a growth spurt at SRT this spring.

After several years of fielding just one team, the program has now grown to see teams being offered at three levels. Football players at SRT will now have an opportunity to compete at the Grade 8, junior varsity (9-10) and senior varsity (11-12) level in September.

The number of kids and coaches involved has never been higher, and teacher sponsor Scott Tomlin credits the quality coaching staff that has been assembled with this impressive growth.

The Titans now have a group of committed coaches at all levels who are ready to build the program for years to come.

Head coach Jeff Boyce takes over at the senior level. He brings with him a wealth of experience at the community level, where he has coached Midget football for years. Boyce, a Maple Ridge resident, has also coached at Terry Fox Secondary in Port Coquitlam.

Joining Boyce at the junior varsity Level will be George Clarke, longtime community coach and former President of the Meadowridge Knights.

At the Grade 8 level, coaches Glen Cote and Rick Pelwecki will introduce the newest Titans to highschool football.

Local kayak racer Alex Brent will compete for Canada this summer after he was the surprise of the national team trials in Dartmouth over the weekend.

Brent is still in Nova Scotia, but his father Tom said the 17-yearold would have been happy with a top-10 finish in the 1,000-metre race.

In a field that included racers a year older, he overturned the national rankings, surprised even himself, and finished third.

All at once he is world class.

CanoeKayak Canada chose Brent to compete in the World Junior Championships in Hungary next month.

Then, he will also compete in the 2014 Youth Olympic Games taking place in Nanjing, China from Aug. 15-28.

Considering that at last year’s Canadian Junior Team Trials he made the B final, it was an amazing improvement. His goal was to make the national team next year, as an 18-yearold.

Tom said his son started in the sport at the age of seven, and was a “roly poly” kid.

“But he’s pretty lean and mean now,” he said.

His training partner and mentor Brian Malfesi, is another local flat water sprinter, and junior 1,000m champion.

Malfesi has moved up to the under-23 age

class, and faces tougher competition this year.

He is part of a pool of sprint athletes to participate in Junior and Under 23 training camps following a full weekend of National Team Trials on Lake Banook in Dartmouth.

Brent lives in the Mission area, but both he and Malfesi are members of the Ridge Canoe and Kayak Club that trains on Whonnock Lake. It is the largest sprint canoe club in the province.

The training camps taking place this week in Nova Scotia will play a major role in determining crews and finalizing selections to the Under 23 team to represent Canada in Szeged, Hungary from July 17 to 20. Selections for a certain few U23 events will go right down to a third set of Trials in Montreal at the end of June.

“Over the weekend we saw some tremendous performances from our top up and coming athletes,” said Scott Logan, CanoeKayak Canada’s high performance director.

“These athletes are learning to compete under pressure and through training camps and lots of work with our coaches we’re preparing them to be successful at the international level.

He is survived by his daughters, Morgan and Sydney, spouse Jackie, parents Peter and Karol, in-laws Henry and Lillienne Mithrush, sister Sandi (Bill), brothers; Frank (Audrey), Doug (Heather), Tom (Pegeen), brothers-in-law;

Miles (Roxanne), Brad, and Rick (Charly) as well as numerous nieces, nephews and many friends. Funeral Mass will be held at St. Luke’s Catholic Church, 20285 Dewdney Trunk Rd, Maple Ridge at 11:00am on Thursday, June 12, 2014.

In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC. Expressions of sympathy can be made at www.gardenhill.ca DALLAS, Dorothy P., on June 3, 2014.

Late of Pitt Meadows, B.C., age 89 years. Predeceased by husband Howard in 1994. Survived by her son Barry (Joan).

Private Funeral Mass to be held at St. Luke’s Catholic Church.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer’s Society, would be appreciated.

LEHTONEN, Irene Hannah, nee Jones November 3, 1926 – June 1, 2014 The family of Irene Lehtonen is deeply saddened to announce the passing of this wonderful lady and loving mother on June 1, 2014, at the age of 87.

Irene was predeceased by her loving second husband Eric Lehtonen, her first husband Gilbert Avery, and by her stepson Alan Lehtonen, son-in-law John Goswell, and sister Doreen (Anthony) Bastien.

She is survived by her sons Darrel (Donna) Avery of Middle Sackville, NS, and Dorian (Iris) Avery of Winnipeg, MB, and daughter Joanne Goswell nee Avery of Maple Ridge, BC. She is also survived by her sisters Hannah (Helmut) Messal and Pam (Tom) Slade, and by grandchildren Justin (Kristen) Avery, Amanda Avery, Jared Avery, and Mary Goswell. Irene eagerly looked forward to celebrating the birth of her first great-grandchild in August.

Born to Percy and Louise Jones in Lougheed, AB, Irene was the first of their four daughters. In 1944 when she turned 18, she enlisted in the army and served with the Canadian Women’s Army Corps in Kitchener, ON. She was a lifelong member of the Royal Canadian Legion. Always selfreliant, hard-working, and selfsacrificing, Irene was a single parent from the early 1960’s on, and refused to remarry until all three of her children had grown up and left home. She continued working into her 70’s and went to live with her daughter, Joanne, only four years ago owing to health reasons. In keeping with Irene’s wishes, there will be no service, although she can be viewed at 11:00am on Friday, June 6 at Garden Hill Funeral Chapel - 11765 224th Street, Maple Ridge.
