Protestors disapprove pipeline decision ‘Government’s position clear’: MP Randy Kamp’s office

Facing off

Mike Gildersleeve has organized four or five protests in front of MP Randy Kamp’s office over plans to build the Northern Gateway oil pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat.

Those efforts seem to have done nothing as, on Tuesday, federal Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford announced his government’s approval of the $6.5 billion pipeline to allow oil shipments to Asia.

“I can’t imagine a more risky project to inflict on B.C.,” said Gildersleeve, a member of the Green party and Fraser Valley Pipeline Watch.

“The risks are seen as far outweighing the benefits,” he added.

Park no longer for dogs

The

Issues and complaints over the Volker Park off-leash dog area on 123rd Avenue dragged on for months. But it took only minutes to remove the wire mesh from the park Thursday in an event titled “Mending Fences.”

backhoe and a District of Maple Ridge work crew, the fence was taken down and the poles pulled out in about an hour and 15 minutes.

Rebecca Lee, a dog owner, approached parks and leisure services with the event idea as a way of bringing both sides together following the commission’s April decision to close the park.

But she didn’t expect many dog owners who used the park to show up.

“They don’t want to come out

because they’re not in support of the dog park coming down.

They don’t see the purpose in coming out.”

Lee, though, wanted to help with the removal as a way of moving on and recognizing that a decision had been made.

“There’s nothing else to be done here,” she said.

The off-leash area, when it was opened about four years ago, wasn’t managed properly and mistakes were made, she said.

She questioned allowing the park to stay open from dawn

until dusk.

Lee, who started the Volker Park Refugee Facebook page, suggested that, in the future, community committees monitor off-leash areas and report to parks and leisure services so issues can be dealt with.

And more consulting should be done as the department considers three alternative sites for a new off-leash area. Westview Park, Upper Maple Ridge Park and Tolmie Park are all being considered as replacement sites.

Optimism is abound at Kanaka

Teacher demands ‘too high’ for mediation

S tor y by Neil Corbett

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press

t’s almost summer for most students and teachers, and the union’s labour battle with the province will no longer be a disruption in their normal summertime routines.

The latest offer by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to settle its strike has moved the union farther from the “zone of settlement” established by other public sector unions, Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Thursday.

With a strike underway that could run until the end of the school year, Fassbender said neither mediation nor a legislated settlement is being considered.

Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, said the latest union proposal would bring the compensation increase for teachers from 12.5 per cent over five years to 14.5 per cent.

On wages and benefits alone, Cameron said that is more than twice the increase other unions, including school support staff employees, have accepted.

The BCTF added to its proposal of an eight per cent wage increase over five years this week with a proposed $225 million fund paid out over five years to settle thousands of grievances filed over the past decade. Those grievances sought to return class size caps and specialist teacher levels that were removed from the contract by legislation, and were ordered restored by a B.C. Supreme Court decision that is now under appeal.

The union wants a second $225 million annual fund to fund ongoing class size and special needs support.

“It is well into the $2 billion range,” Fassbender said of the union proposal. “It’s unaffordable for taxpayers.”

BCTF president Jim Iker said the union’s proposal is fair in light of the latest court decision.

“Evidence from the government’s own officials presented in B.C. Supreme Court shows the government has stripped $275 million per year from B.C.’s public education system.”

But the government, Fassbender responded, has put an extra $1 billion a year into the education system since taking class size and compensation out of the teacher contract, for learning assistants, full-day kindergarten and a “learning improvement fund” to address class size and special needs support.

I

But for the students and teachers of Kanaka Creek elementary, with its balanced calendar, the strike could take another month out of their school year.

Wednesday was scheduled to be the last day for elementary students across the district, so including the three days lost to rotating strikes, most will have lost 11 days of instruction.

The Kanaka Creek kids stand to lose six weeks – the strike began right in the middle of their third and final three-month term. Their school year doesn’t end until July 24.

Parents are angry that their kids are collateral damage in yet another school job action.

“I field a few calls every day, and of course they’re upset,” said principal Katie Sullivan. “They’re looking for answers, and I have none.”

She has requested that the schools with year-round calendars be exempted from the strike, but it will be up to the BCTF or BCPSEA to petition the Labour Relations Board.

Kanaka students attend threemonth semesters with a month off after teach – a balanced calendar.

“We like that each term you work really had, and then you have a onemonth break,” said Sullivan. “It has a nice rhythm to the school year. Every teacher who starts here, retires here.”

Sullivan said the strike is hurtful to the 587 elementary students, on a couple of levels. For young students, they didn’t get a chance to say their goodbyes to teachers they have bonded with for a year. Those are important relationships in their lives, Sullivan said.

“There’s no closure to the school year,” she added. “And academically, it might be a struggle for some of our Grade 7s to transition.”

That’s the worry for parents too.

“It’s an emotional time for all of us, for sure,” said Deanna Lackey, treasurer of the Kanaka Creek Parent Advisory Council. “It’s a predicament for us – more so than other schools.”

Her son is in Grade 7.

“And and his classmates are my big concern right now – they have six weeks of curriculum they will miss.”

When he arrives at Thomas Haney secondary for Grade 8, his teachers will expect him to be up to date.

Picketing teachers at Kanaka Creek elementary see an end in sight; while a canine picketer has a “bone to pick with BCPSEA.”

stride. The end of the year is some of their most productive days.

“There’s a lot of rhetoric going around, but that’s a lot of posturing,” Tooker said. “They’re already so close at the table.”

Thursday, the BCTF asked for a mediator to get involved in negotiations. However, Education Minister Peter Fassbender responded that the government is not willing to call one in.

The Kanaka Creek teachers are not willing to speculate what will happen if they are forced to picket through July. They do, however, have an informal pool on when the strike will end.

Lackey said he is a good student, brought his books home, and they haven’t been collecting dust.

“We’ve explained to him – you’re not on summer vacation yet.”

The number of balanced-calendar schools in the province is too small – five in total – to be a consideration for the negotiating parties, said Lackey.

“The fear for parents in our situation is we have been forgotten. We’re an oddity in the school system, but nobody should be forgotten.”

On the picket line in front of Kanaka Creek, teachers are staying positive. Wednesday morning about every third car would honk support.

One woman leaned out her SUV and yelled, “Give our teachers a fair deal.”

Another woman dropped off a box of cookies and wished them good luck.

One of the picketers brought a tiny terrier wearing a bone-shaped sign that read: “I’ve got a bone to pick with the BCPSEA.” The Maple Ridge Teachers’ Association remains hopeful a deal will get done soon.

Lucinda Tooker, staff rep for the MRTA, predicts one will be reached by the end of June, and Kanaka staff will return to class.

“We can absolutely make it up,” she said of missed class time.

On the traditional school calendar, teachers can burn out by the end of the year, she said. But that is when the Kanaka staff is really hitting its

“And and his classmates are my big concern right now – they have six weeks of curriculum they will miss.”

Deanna Lackey, Kanaka Creek PAC Tooker figures that BCPSEA lead negotiator Peter Cameron has a contract that pays him $225 per hour, and he will get the most out of it.

“When his contract runs out on June 30, we’ll have a deal,” she predicted.

For Lackey’s Grade 7, this is his third labour dispute at school.

“We would like some stability. I have a daughter in Grade 2, and I would like this to be her only disruption.”

Pitt council to tackle expense claims

Open House

To review travel and community relations budgets

Downtown Enhancement Project Phase 4 The District will be undertaking the next phase of the Downtown Enhancement Project. This will build on the earlier projects completed in 2011 and 2013 and support Council’s goals for the revitalization of the Town Centre and add to the vibrancy of the area. The objectives of the Downtown Enhancement Projects include increasing the livability of the Town Centre, supporting business growth and encouraging future investment in the area, while enhancing the street experience for pedestrians and shoppers and the safety of road users.

We invite you to attend an Open House to view the conceptual designs for both Part 1 (Lougheed Highway from 224 Street to 226 Street) and Part 2 (Selkirk Avenue from 225 Street to 226 Street) of this project.

Your attendance is welcomed as we finalize our concepts and move forward to construction.

The Open House is scheduled for: Date:

Thursday June 26, 2014

Pitt Meadows council members could soon be copying their Maple Ridge counterparts by posting their expenses online.

On Tuesday, council unanimously supported a motion made

by Coun. Bruce Bell to clarify the city’s policy on what politicians can claim.

Bell said the city’s policy is unclear in several areas. He used

an example of attending Metro Vancouver board meetings.

He does not claim gas mileage for travel to the meetings, while others do.

“In my view, I’ve already been compensated for attending the meetings, so what’s being reimbursed,” said Bell.

“That’s where the policy is unclear. Obviously, it is unclear to staff because they have been paying it and it’s unclear to whoever has been claiming it. We need it cleaned up.”

Metro directors are paid $355 for every regional district board or committee meeting they attend. The fees double to $710 if

Open House Proposed Wildfire Development Permit Area The District of Maple Ridge is hosting a public open house to obtain input on a proposed Wildfire Development Permit Area with an aim to protect life and property in designated areas that could be at risk for wildland fire. Note that the proposed Wildfire Development Permit is intended to apply only to those lands identified on the map below and only for new development. The information that will be shared at the open house includes how wildfire hazard risk areas may be managed to: • Ensure mitigating construction and development techniques are utilized in new development to help reduce the risk to property and people; • Further reduce the risk of potential post-fire landslides and debris flow.

Note that the proposed Wildfire Development Permit Area is not intended to affect existing development.

You are invited to participate in the upcoming open house scheduled for: Date: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 Time: Drop-in anytime between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m.

Location: Fire Hall #1 22708 Brown Avenue Maple Ridge, BC We will be requesting your comments on the proposed Wildfire Development Permit Area at the Open House. Please visit the Maple Ridge website at mapleridge.ca for updates on this review process. If you have any questions on this process, please email fire@mapleridge.ca or call 604-463-5880.

With a civic election on the horizon, Andrew Thompson is the first unelected candidate out of the gate to officially declare he’ll be seeking a seat on Pitt Meadows council.

Thompson volunteers for many city committees, including Pitt Meadows Day, Canada Day ceremonies, A Pitt Meadows Christmas, and serves as a director to Pitt Meadows Community Foundation and volunteers regularly at the Friends in Need Food Bank.

As a member of the Active Transportation Ad-

a meeting runs longer than four hours. Metro Vancouver confirmed the payment is meant to include gas mileage for travel to and from the meetings.

Besides travel, council also wants more details on a “community relations” budget.

The budget is used to pay for tickets to events, such as the hospital foundation gala, flowers, city promotional items and the annual mayor’s breakfast.

It totalled $7,720 in 2013.

Mayor Deb Walters said council last reviewed its expense policy in 2006, so it’s about time for another review.

“Certainly, transparency is key,” she added.

“I agree with the motion, it shows due diligence and it also shows the public the number of outside appointments and events that council is involved with or is expected to be in attendance at to carry out the duties of their office during the course of their term.”

According to financial statements for 2013, Walters billed the city $1,550 for “other travel.”

Council is expected to review the policy in fall.

• To view detailed spending on community relations budget and a table of expenses, visit mapleridgenews.com.

visory Committee, Thompson sees the need to be aggressive in lobbying senior levels of government for an improved interchange at Lougheed Highway and Harris Road, improvements to transit options, and the need to invest in cycling and walking networks.

Thompson said he believes that Pitt Meadows is an extraordinary place to live, yet realistically believes the community needs to be “forwardthinking” and continue to keep taxes low, but plan and prepare for future expenses and capital project costs.

He believes that all expenses must be thoroughly monitored to ensure that taxpayers’ money is being maximized and well spent.

Do you want to be a candidate?

If you are interested in becoming a candidate for Mayor or Council you are invited to attend an informal information meeting on

Monday, June 23, 2014 at 7:00 pm in Council Chambers Current Council members and senior staff will be on hand to answer your questions and provide background information on new election reporting requirements, the new four year term and what’s involved in being a member of Council.

For further information visit the District website at www.mapleridge.ca or contact the Election Office at 604-467-7423 or by email at election@mapleridge.ca.

Search begins for new Albion meeting place Group doesn’t want it on former farm

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Albion residents will have to wait another half decade to see any replacement of the old Albion community hall that was torn down in 2011.

But at least the process got underway Monday, as council looked at ways of how to pay for a new hall for the suburb east of 240th Street.

The project already has a nest egg, $290,000 that was donated by the Albion Community Association when the hall was torn down. The club donated the money to the district on the condition it be used to build a new hall.

That could be combined with $600,000 from the Albion amenity fund, which receives money from developers in return for increasing the density of new housing projects in Albion.

Another $300,000 could come from the district’s share of earnings from Chances Maple Ridge community gaming centre.

That adds up to $1.2 million in the pot, without even a concept plan in place.

Everything’s up for discussion, Mayor Ernie Daykin said Wednesday.

Council told staff to write a report specifying funding sources and potential partnerships.

Daykin downplayed the chances of a new building resembling the high-end South Bonson Community Centre in Pitt Meadows, which has a banquet hall, kitchen and meeting rooms.

“I think it may not be South Bonson. It may be something more modest,” Daykin said. “I think it depends on what the community might use it for.”

A new hall could be just a replacement of the old and serve as a place for dance lessons or groups such as guides or scouts.

“There’s still a need in the community for another banquet facility.”

A community hall could also be a joint project with the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district. Property has been set aside on 104th Avenue for a new school, he said.

Beryl Eales, with Friends of Jackson Farm, favours that location and opposes putting a new community hall on the Jackson Farm at 102nd

The old Albion Hall was torn down in 2011.

Avenue and 244th Street.

Her group saved the farm as a passive-use park in 2010.

“Hands off Jackson Farm. It’s an open space.

We saved it for that reason.”

Coun. Al Hogarth has suggested that the park could be the site of a hall that could serve as a combined use as an agricultural school.

The farm initially was proposed for a subdivision, but Friends of Jackson Farm petitioned the district and successfully pressured to have it preserved as a park.

THE NEWS/files

Elizabeth Taylor, who lives in Albion, said a new hall should have a proper dance floor so it can be used by all groups. The Stewart School of Irish Dance was left without a home when Albion hall was torn down. Schools don’t like the dancers in their gyms because they scuff the floor. The dance group is now at Colleen Findlay Place, formerly a school.

Daykin said Albion hall has to be prioritized with the parks and leisure services commission. He agreed the

development of Albion flats in the area of 105th Avenue, where Smart Centres wants to build a mall, could also influence the location.

He added that the cost of operating and maintaining a new Albion hall could exceed the cost of construction.

“A lot of it depends on funding,” said Daykin.

A staff report notes that, following a consultation process, if the public no longer wants the Albion amenity fund to be used for a hall, another source of money would be needed.

Coun. Michael Morden said creating some kind of facility in Albion should be a priority after the tear down of the old hall.

“They had it and so we’ve got to do our best to get that back as quickly as we can.”

Albion and Silver Valley are short of recreation and community facilities, he added.

Perhaps public-private partnership might work.

He agreed the time frame might be five years.

“We have to look at options.” But it has to go through a public process, he added.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Don’t whip up mob A photograph of a Maple Ridge homeless man, with the words “Warning Sex Offender,” has shared on Facebook at an alarming rate.

It was passed along more than 800 times before Ridge Meadows RCMP asked the original poster to take it down, as officers have a responsibility to prevent vigilante justice.

A vigilante is someone who takes the law into his or her own hands, trying to punish another person without any legal authority.

Think back to the 1800s, when frontier towns hung accused horse thieves or what happened after photographs of Stanley Cup rioters were posted online.

In this instance, the person who created the photograph told police he was only trying to inform the community about a person he believes is dangerous.

That, however, is the job of police.

RCMP are thankful no one acted on the threats posted under the photograph and say they have an active investigation into allegations of sexual assault. The man labelled as a ‘monster’ may have a criminal record. He also suffers from addiction and mental illness. He could be categorized as one of the most vulnerable people in our society.

Unlike the United States, Canada does not have a publicly accessible registry of sex offenders – and for good reason.

Recent studies have cast doubt on whether sex offender notification laws actually work as intended.

Research shows that while police registration discourages sex offender recidivism, public notification actually encourages it.

How so? Perhaps because they have little else to lose.

According to a study published in the Journal of Law and Economics, “convicted sex offenders become more likely to commit crimes when their information is made public because the associated psychological, social, or financial costs make a crime-free life relatively less desirable.”

That poster may be doing more harm than good.

What benefits of transportation plan?

T he Vancouver Metro mayors committee on transportation has recently endorsed a 10-year $7.5 billion plan that hopefully will never come to fruition.

The plan is so vague and funding so uncertain that it is Sidewinder a wonder it ever got Sandy Macdougall this far.

If this plan were to be decided on in each individual municipal jurisdiction, it would probably require a referendum because it covers a 10-year span. Normally, municipalities must place such issues before the voters if the payment plan extends beyond five years. The other alternative would be to pay our estimated share out of existing capital reserves.

The local burden is going to be enormous because the province has several times rejected TransLink efforts to access the carbon tax. As sure as death and income tax, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows taxpayers will end up paying unfairly for services in Surrey, Vancouver and the other large jurisdictions west of us.

What it means for Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows is very likely higher taxes and levies on everything, including surcharges at the pump, with little or no improvement to the existing lousy transit service we already don’t enjoy.

There was some mention of a study to

Q

uestion of the week:

look at the feasibility of direct bus service from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to the Coquitlam/Port Coquitlam transportation hubs, but that will only happen upon the completion of the Evergreen SkyTrain extension scheduled for a few more years down the road.

That’s just peachy, isn’t it? Study and discuss something that has already been studied and discussed for more than 20 years with little or no progress to date.

And wouldn’t you know it, huge funding to further improve cycling routes, which will be utilized by a tiny percentage of commuters in the Lower Mainland.

Of course, with the possibility of new super bus service from Maple Ridge to areas west of the Pitt River Bridge, planning and design for such stops on the highway must begin almost immediately.

There seems to have been little discussion or consideration of how people in Albion or Silver Valley are supposed to access the super buses, and those folks will probably keep right on driving their private vehicles to commute to points west of Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.

To be fair, Mayor Ernie Daykin said there will be improvements to Albion bus service and new bus routes to service Silver Valley, but I heard no mention of a start-up date.

There are also plans to add 10 cars and one engine to the Cadillac service offered

by West Coast Express from Mission to downtown Vancouver.

Besides asking the province to share the carbon tax to help pay for needed transit

Do you support teachers’ move to a full strike?

Yes: 42% – No: 58%

and transportation improvements, the mayors have also suggested property taxes, road taxes, tolls on the proposed new Pattullo Bridge and a few other schemes, all of which are going to be greeted by a loud chorus of snorts and harrumphs by those of us for whom transit serves little or no useful purpose.

Mayor Daykin has represented us in an earnest but frustrating manner with TransLink, but to little or no avail. Perhaps it’s time to stand up and be heard and kick a little verbal butt so that folks out here in the boondocks will know how hard you are trying.

“Perhaps it’s time to stand up and be heard and kick a little verbal butt so that folks out here in the boondocks will know how hard you are trying.”

As a side note, Peter Fassbender, the former mayor of Langley, is the past chairman of the mayors’ committee on TransLink, a role in which he excelled in accomplishing nothing of note on behalf of communities on this side of the Fraser River.

He’s now the minister of education, and he is continuing to excel at demonstrating little or no leadership skills.

Sandy Macdougall is a retired journalist and former district councillor.

This week’s question: Do you support Ottawa’s conditional approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline?

THE NEWS/letters online comments Biggest benefactor Ian McLeod · principle at Main Street Communications Ltd.: As reported by Phil Melnychuk in previous pieces, TransLink is also paying roughly $35 million each year to repay the cost of Golden Ears Bridge construction. The benefit from the bridge flows to all of the eastern suburbs, but Maple Ridge is probably the biggest beneficiary. This annual financing cost is a significant chunk of cash, given the size of our community (75,000 people in a region of about 2.3 million.)

Smooth sailing Eric O’Connor: I will never understand how pushing the industrial area away from the Golden Ears Bridge is going to do anything for Maple Ridge. All one really needs to do is look at the other side of the bridge and you will see, it is industrial. Industry there has a few moments and they are on the highway and on their way with their goods. They are not driving 15 to 20 minutes through residential areas to get to the bridge.

Positive results Matt Laforest: Eric, the majority of the cost associated with this [bike] path was the installation of a new and upgraded sewage system that lays beneath. What you put on top is secondary. Now that it’s there, it’s about informing the public of its positive uses. Too much has been made of it’s cost and that it goes ‘nowhere.’ While I can’t speak to the forecast numbers, I do use this path to commute. As a region, we can’t expect to build something that is part of a growing infrastructure and expect immediate results.

Education for all Nama Wasabi: This is an excellent, truthful and just letter. As for those who spew garbage like, ‘I have no children in school, so I shouldn’t have to pay school taxes,’ I would like to invite them to go live on some island where they can be self-sufficient. Everyone – even those with no children – benefits from the school system. If you go to a hospital, the doctor will have been educated. When you cross a bridge, we would expect the engineer who designed it to have been educated. The training had to come from somewhere. If you are a part of society, regardless of whether or not you personally have children, you are taking from others who have used the school system.

Dam good work Kathy Brown-Key: My grandfather was what was called the ‘chief load dispatcher’ in the 1940s to the 1960s at the Ruskin Dam. He would be proud to see that all this work is being done to improve it for generations to come.

A historical engineering feat The following is the transcript of a speech by Black Press chairman David Black upon receiving an honourary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Victoria.

T

oday is a Commentary great day for me. The David Black doctorate is a wonderful honour from a university I have watched grow and flourish into a world-ranked institution.

It is also embarrassing because I don’t feel my work is completed yet.

Nevertheless, I would like to pass on to the graduating class some lessons I have learned thus far in my career in the hopes they may be of some use.

My story is not complex. I received an engineering degree from UBC and a MBA from Ivy in London.

In 1975, I started my own business by buying a small weekly newspaper in Williams Lake.

Over the years, with the help of a terrific wife, a father who mentored me, and the hard work of a great many employees, we have grown to 200 publications with revenues of half a billion dollars.

I had no plan in 1975 to grow the business like this. My only thought was to publish the best paper I could.

I worked long hours because we were in debt and we had a growing family.

Over time, I came to be an expert in every phase of the business. Because of that, I fell in love with publishing.

My first career lesson for you then is just show up. If you are like I was at your age, you have no idea what career will appeal to you. You don’t have to know. Just dive into something. Work hard. The more skill you develop, the more you will enjoy the work. You will know when or if it is time to move on to something else.

I mentioned my wife and father and what a help they were to me.

My second piece of advice is to surround yourself with bright people, both as workmates and friends. Listen to them and help them in return.

With my four children on our

companies’ boards of directors and an excellent management team in place, I thought, now that I am over 65, I would be easing back somewhat, enjoying more sailing, and babysitting grandchildren.

My only real career regret was that I hadn’t had a chance to practice any engineering.

It’s funny how life unfolds.

Over the past two years, I have embarked on one of the biggest engineering projects in Canada’s history, and I am working harder than ever.

When not working on Black Press, I am consumed by trying to build a B.C. oil refinery, pipeline and tanker fleet at a total cost of $32 billion.

So my third career message for you is that you cannot know your future.

By all means plan. But don’t assume things will go as expected.

I will tell you a little about the refinery project because it leads to my final and most important piece of advice.

The project is called Kitimat Clean.

The refinery would convert Alberta’s bitumen to gasoline and diesel, products which float and evaporate if there is a spill at sea.

Bitumen acts differently. If it is spilled off our coast, it will sink and we won’t be able to recover it. It will also blanket the intertidal zone and we won’t be able to remove it. The damage could last for hundreds of years.

I got into this project to help ensure this doesn’t happen.

A world-scale refinery has other great advantages for us all: it would create 10,000 new permanent jobs in B.C. and generate billions of dollars of new taxes annually for government coffers.

My children and I are concerned about the environment like most of you are, so we decided to spend an extra $3 billion to build the refinery with new Canadian technology, cutting CO2 emissions by five million tonnes a year. This is equivalent to avoiding the annual emissions of 1.2 million cars.

The refinery would also be so clean it would more than compensate for the extra CO2 emissions in the oil sands.

Clearly, we need to ratchet down our use of fossil fuels. But that does not influence whether to build a refinery

in Canada. Asia needs more refined fuel every year.

If we don’t build the refinery in Canada, it will be built in Asia.

By shipping our bitumen to Asia for refining, we not only put the ocean at risk and lose the enormous valueadded benefits, the planet will end up with twice the CO2 emissions.

Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, big oil companies are not interested in a new Canadian refinery.

The president of one of our largest oil companies told me that he agrees it is viable to refine bitumen in Canada, and that it is nation building at its best, but that no oil company in Alberta will do it. In fact, some oppose it.

So it came down to this. If I thought it important enough, I would have to spearhead it. That is what I am doing.

I hope by setting high standards we can show the way forward for responsible management of Canada’s bitumen, from an economic and an environmental point of view.

“I hope by setting high standards we can show the way forward for responsible management of Canada’s bitumen, from an economic and an environmental point of view.”

My final message to you today is simple: when your big challenge or opportunity arises, do the same.

Do it better.

When you know something is wrong, step up, take a risk. Challenge tradition and fight vested interests.

Use your education, experience and networks in a positive way to benefit yourself and your family, of course.

But whenever you can, always try to improve the world around you.

The satisfaction that gives you will fulfill you.

Go to it, graduates, and best wishes for the future.

David Black is chairman of Black Press, the largest private newspaper publisher in Canada.

We are doomed to inadequate transit system Editor, The News: Re: Maple Ridge not ignored by mayors in TransLink transportation wish list (The News, June 18).

“The idea is to get people out of their cars.” So says the esteemed mayor of Pitt Meadows.

In light of the new 10-lane Port Mann Bridge, the advent of the Golden Ears Bridge, the perimeter road linking Surrey with Delta and the plans for two new bridges to replace the Deas Island Tunnel and the Pattullo Bridge, respectively, one can hardly give credence to such an outlandish statement.

The mayors are talking out of both sides of their mouths.

On the one hand, they allow TransLink to construct huge new structures to facilitate ever-increasing numbers

of automobiles, while on the other, they declare war on the car by tolling bridges and implementing road pricing.

It seems the mayors are confused as to their mandate regarding future transportation improvements.

Which is it to be?

More traffic gridlock or a vast network of urban and suburban rapid transit options?

The way things are going, it seems it will be neither.

Ideally, since every single mayor in the regional district has their own personal axe to grind when it comes to transportation options. It is my opinion they should keep their noses out of the transportation issue altogether.

I say ideally, because sadly we have a

premier and a provincial government that is no more capable of running the transit system than our local politicians.

It seems that for the foreseeable future, we are doomed to an inadequate transit system, while coping with tolls and other levies that are the highest in the country.

A final message to Ms. Walters: I like my car.

Like most other drivers, I enjoy the serenity.

Therefore, I will not take transit unless it is absolutely necessary to do so.

And if the mayors think they are going to drive people out of their cars and on to transit, they had better think again.

er issues.

The board has been forced to cut more than $5 million from each of the past two budgets.

Murray said it is important for trustees to give their provincial representatives “tools and information” that they can bring to discussions with their caucus colleagues.

“We certainly want more funding, and no additional downloading.”

Correspondence received from the Kootenay Columbia District also struck a chord with trustees. It said the province’s newest initiative in schools, the B.C. Education Plan, will fail without more money.

Trustee Susan Carr highlighted the last line, which read: “Failure by the government to provide the necessary funding and the time require to operationalize the plan will undoubtedly result

in the B.C. Education Plan being little more than a website of unattainable goals and broken promises made to the current and future students of our province.”

She said government is “constantly cutting things that will affect the plan.”

Trustee Ken Clarkson supported her motion to write a similar letter.

“If the B.C. Ed Plan is going to be successful, it has to be properly funded,” he said.

“I think the letter is timely.”

Murray agreed it is “an appropriate time to add our voice,” and the board will write that letter.

Carr noted that parents who have been protesting a lack of education funding were in front of Doug Bing’s office on Thursday.

“The parent turnout has been really, really good. It seems to get bigger every week.”

New mother-child inmate unit opens Program reinstated at Alouette prison

This is how Retirement Living should be Two Bedroom Suite - Rarely Available Why wait? Move in today!

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

A

program that allows female inmates to care for their newborn babies reopened in Maple Ridge this week, four years after it was shut down by the province.

The Alouette Correctional Centre for Women has a new nursery decorated with motifs of Winnie the Pooh, flowers and animals, new furniture, a kitchen, a child-bathing area, as well as a playroom with toys and books.

“The goal of the Mother-Child Program is to support the bond between a mother and her baby,” said Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton, who toured the facility recently.

“By providing access to prenatal care, parenting programs and community resources, this program will help strengthen that relationship.”

It cost the province $163,000 to set up the new program, which officially opened Monday.

The province was forced to reinstate the program due to a court ruling, which deemed the government’s decision to close it unconstitutional.

The December court ruling held that mothers’ and babies’ rights were violated by the government “arbitrarily” ending the program in 2008, resulting in infants being separated from their mothers during a vital formative period.

Since the Alouette program shut down, 23 incarcerated mothers have given birth. All 23 babies ended up in foster care.

The new mother-child unit has space for nine inmates, who will receive the same prenatal and postnatal education available to expectant mothers in the community.

Anton said mothers will be required to participate in a parenting program. They will also will receive support and assistance to deal with social and behavioural issues in order to reduce recidivism and help them successfully transition to life outside a correctional centre.

Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton tours the new mother-child program wing at Alouette Correctional Centre for Women. while the program was running and credits it for inspiring her to reconnect with her own children, who she hadn’t seen for 11 years.

She points to the few lucky mothers who got to keep their babies while the pilot program ran as examples of its success. Of the 12 mothers, nine have not reoffended and continue to care for their children.

Korchinski said most have gone back to school, others are mar-

ried or working.

“I’ve seen it and it makes a total difference,” said Korchinski, who works with former inmates as a project coordinator with the University of British Columbia’s Unlocking the Gates peer mentor program.

“I was devastated when the program shut down. It is so healing for the other women, too, not just for the mothers.”

Korchinski is glad that B.C. Corrections’

is committed to allowing the women to participate in communitybased programs.

“The community of Maple Ridge wants to help,” she added. “These women are part of our community and it takes a community to raise a child and support the moms.”

There are currently four women in B.C. Corrections’ custody who are pregnant. However, only one inmate is expected to give birth during her time in custody.

She didn’t report that to the RCMP. “Fear,” she said. “Everybody knows who I am. I don’t want my dogs to be targeted.”

“It’s not doing anything for any of us to sit around and complain,” Lee added. “I feel like I have to keep doing something positive.”

Marcel Lafond, a long-time area resident, helped dismantle the Volker fence and disagreed with calling those who opposed the park as bullies.

“This is a bad location.”

People were in the park from six in the morning to 10 o’clock at night. “We couldn’t sleep. We couldn’t use our back yard. The noise was just crazy.”

It wasn’t just dogs barking, he said, but the vehicles coming and going.

Lafond pointed out that neighbours who wanted the dog park removed followed the right steps. They contacted Mayor Ernie Daykin, collected a petition and presented it to the parks and leisure services commission board, which made the decision to close it.

“It’s not a good location and that’s what the

commission came to understand.”

Consultation over the next possible sites will be more intensive, said Fred Armstrong, communications manager for the District of Maple Ridge.

“All three of these sites will need to have community consultation to make sure we don’t have issues going forward.”

“All three of these sites will need to have community consultation to make sure we don’t have issues going forward.”

He said staff want to get into each neighbourhood and meet people to get a good idea of the concerns about having an offleash dog park. The department doesn’t want to rush the process and wants to do it properly, but also to do so in an expeditious manner.

‘Supertankers will be sitting ducks’ Pipeline from front

“We’re hearing they do not have the technology for dealing with [a] spill.”

The Conservative government signalled its approval via a one-page release from Rickford.

Gildersleeve noted that last December, the joint review panel composed of the Ministry of Environment and National Energy Board approved the project, subject to 209 conditions.

Kamp, MP for Pitt Meadows-Maple RidgeMission, wouldn’t comment on the decision.

His staff said Rickford’s statement “ makes the government’s position clear.”

“I think it’s an insult,” responded Gildersleeve.

“If he doesn’t know, there’s a huge, growing concern. We’re his constituents.”

But it wasn’t just Kamp who was silent, Gildersleeve said.

The 21 Conservative MPs from B.C. are looking over their shoulders now, he added.

“It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when there will be a spill and how catastrophic it will be. The supertankers are going to be sitting ducks.”

He said the federal government has changed Canada’s environmental regulations “so this proposal can be fast tracked.” In 2012, the government gave itself veto over National Energy Board decisions on projects.

“So it’s a real assault on democracy, as well.”

In addition to threat from oil spills, Gildersleeve said the government is not showing leadership in dealing with climate change.

“No one’s talking about climate change. It’s all about the economic activity.”

The most recent protest outside Kamp’s office, on Lougheed Highway, was last month, when the Pipeline Watch Group joined in the nationwide Defend our Climate campaign organized by LeadNow, founded in Ontario.

Gildersleeve is planning on attending the Tar Sands Healing Walk in Fort McMurray, Alta., June 27.

He’ll be driving there in his wife’s Volkswagen TDI diesel.

There are all kinds of conflicts, Gildersleeve acknowledged.

Janet Amsden, president of the Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge NDP, said the pipeline issue “really resonates” with people.

A pipeline protest outside MP Randy Kamp’s office in May. “I think it’s because people really care about the environmental threat it proposes.”

She didn’t know how the issue might affect the Conservatives in the 2015 federal election, adding perhaps the silence of Conservative MPs on the issue is because they’re not allowed to talk.

“I like to think a government is not just one man telling everybody what to do.”

The twin pipelines would carry 525,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen from the oil

sands west to Kitimat and send condensate to act as a thinning agent east to Alberta.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has emphasized it is in the national interest to open a new pipeline route to the Pacific Ocean to carry Alberta oil sands bitumen and break the Canadian oil industry’s dependence on U.S. markets.

But a continuing battle over the pipeline plan is expected in the courts, and potentially on land, where civil disobedience has already

been threatened.

A group of B.C. aboriginal communities issued a statement Tuesday vowing to go to court to protect their aboriginal title and rights on the land affected by the twin pipeline and tanker port for diluted bitumen on Douglas Channel.

Aboriginal opponents in the North Coast region include the Haida, Gitgaat, Heiltsuk and Haisla First Nations, as well as communities in the B.C. Interior.

Northern Gateway project leader Janet Holder said she will continue to work to build on the 26 equity agreements the company has reached with aboriginal communities along the proposed pipeline route.

Kinder Morgan also has applied to expand its 1,150-kilometre Trans Mountain Pipeline system that runs from Alberta to Burnaby by increasing capacity up to 600,000 barrels a day. Its proposal is currently under review by the National Energy Board.

Grant for new bike path Recreational cyclists will be able to pedal from Pitt Meadows to Maple Ridge sometime this year thanks to $50,000 from Bike B.C., money matched by the parks and leisure services commission.

The money will allow the Hammond Trail bike path to be carved through the grass and bush from Airport Way in the south Bonson area of Pitt Meadows, underneath Golden Ears Bridge, to Hammond, in south Maple Ridge.

Liberal MLAs, Marc Dalton and Doug Bing made the announcement earlier this week.

“With this investment, members of our community can enjoy cycling to work and for leisure,” Dalton said in a release.

“Cycling is excellent for physical activity in the great outdoors. It improves our health and quality of life.

“Funding toward the pathway will help provide more opportunities for families to get active in our community,” added Bing.

Since 2001, the B.C. government has committed more than $150 million to improving cycling infrastructure, creating new bicycle lanes and trails in more than 90 communities.

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point.

As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada.

The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6.

Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight.

“Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.

“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it.

Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success.

“That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation.

The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes.

Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix.

You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

As Infiniti’s Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products.

Question of the Week Four-time F1 champ Sebastian Vettel got behind the wheel of a kart when he was just three-and-a-half years old and was racing at age eight. Should we encourage teens to follow that example, as a way of learning about vehicle speed and control before getting their first license at 16?

Safety Tip: As schools begin their summer break, there will be more children around the roads. Road safety is not always top of mind for kids, so make sure you pay extra attention, especially around playgrounds where speed limits remain in effect year-round.

Verdict Not too long ago driving a heavy duty truck with a diesel engine meant you were in for a bumpy ride, not to mention the noise and smell of diesel fuel. Not now. Fast forward to today and the ride is smooth, the noise is greatly reduced and you can hardly smell the fuel. These trucks still work hard as ever, but are also used as mobile offices, meeting rooms, and for family outings.

There is no fighting the steering wheel which can be a problem with other trucks in this category. The cab is quiet and you can barely hear any road or tire noise.

T

he 2011 model year edition of the Ford Mustang, coupe and convertible, came with a more menacing frontal appearance and, under hood, new engines produced more power with less fuel.

So, you could also call it the “meaner and leaner” revamp.

Appearance changes on the 2011 included new headlights and revised lower fascias, fenders and grille, plus a power-dome hood that allows additional air cooling to the Mustang’s new engines.

At the back, new three-light LED lamps sequentially signal a turn, reminiscent of the muscle car years.

The Mustang GT convertible models came with improved body rigidity with 12 per cent more lateral stiffness versus the previous year. In addition to newly strengthened structural members, under its hood you’ll also find a (race-style) tower-to-tower strut brace.

Even the new base 3.7-litre V6 engine packs a punch as it can deliver 305 horsepower and can rev to 7,000 rpm.

Its rated city/highway fuel economy is an impressive 10.7/6.4 L/100km. And its power-to-weight ratio is almost double the previous base engine offering.

Moving up a trim the Mustang GT has a 5.0-litre V8 under its hood. This engine is also a four-valve, all-aluminum engine, only this one is can pump-out 412 horsepower. And sounds great doing it! City/highway fuel consumption is rated at 11.8/7.9 L/100km and a larger (cast aluminum) oil pan also extends oil change intervals.

The GT also comes with electric power-assist steering (EPAS), an upgraded braking system with vented discs all around and an enhanced suspension. GT buyers could also add a California Special appearance package and a Brembo brake and wheel package.

A six-speed manual transmission was standard and automatic option was also a six-speed. This automatic has a grade-assist or “hill mode” feature that prevents sixth gear selection on a steep up-hill drive, plus engine braking going down a hill.

There is another limited production edition of Mustang, the priciest and speediest pony of them all, the audacious Shelby GT500. Power comes from a supercharged

Supercars are arrogant or art?

By Alexandra Straub

started off last year with 42 cars quickly grew to three digits. Each entering car chose a charity to raise funds for.

As the day was ramping up, the Brian Jessel BMW dealership in Vancouver was overrun with vehicles, from a 1957 Ford Thunderbird to the Lamborghini Aventador, along with Nissan GT-Rs, Maseratis, Porsches, Ferraris, and more. The new BMW i8 broke ground and was the lead car in the day’s event.

The design. The engineering.

The way the engine and exhaust purr.

They are the culmination of the workmanship, talent and craft.

To others, they are works of art.

But to the group who participated in the second annual Diamond Rally, it’s more than just a showcase of imported engineering or customization. It’s about a great cause, for charity.

Car enthusiasts love to see amazing cars, regardless of context. What’s more, it’s even cooler when a group of them travel together up one of the most incredible drives in the world: the Sea-to-Sky Highway. What

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Photos submitted by FortisBC, above and top right, and Melissa Tolsma, right

Barbecuing with natural gas is extremely convenient, as it uses the home’s natural gas supply and homeowners are able to grill with several different temperatures.

Reno Me! with FortisBC contest winner Melissa Tolsma is looking forward to the installation of her new natural gas fire pit as part of her natural gas renovation.

Reno Me! with FortisBC winner Melissa Tolsma starts her outdoor natural gas renovation

By Kerry Vital

Nanaimo’s Melissa Tolsma describes herself as a “reluctant renovator.” If something isn’t broken, there’s no need to fix it, and duct tape can fix anything that is broken.

However, when she saw the opportunity to enter last year’s Reno Me! with FortisBC contest and win $10,000 towards a renovation with natural gas, she decided that her outdoor space could use a bit of sprucing up.

After winning the contest, her renovation adventure began. Tolsma notes that she’s always cold, so having the warmth of natural gas was tops on her priority list.

Currently, one of the most popular options

that use natural gas is a fire pit, which will be an integral part of Tolsma’s renovation and something she is particularly looking forward to.

“My eight-year-old daughter is very excited about having a year-round s’mores facility right in the backyard!” Tolsma says.

According to FortisBC, outdoor natural gas fireplaces and fire pits allow you to spend more time outdoors, even in the cooler months. They’re also more convenient for homeowners, who won’t have to spend time chopping wood or dealing with uncontrolled smoke and fumes or spitting embers. Like all natural gas appliances, they provide instant heat and are available in a variety of styles.

Natural gas.

Good for outdoor living.

Entertain all year long with a natural gas barbecue. Add a patio heater or fire pit for cosy warmth and ambience. Transform your outdoor living space with natural gas.

FortisBC uses the FortisBC name and logo under license from Fortis Inc. (14-106.5 04/2014)

Tolsma’s cast concrete fire pit, from Solus Decor, is expected to arrive soon, and contractor Brad Fraser of Jonker Custom Building has been hard at work.

“Brad is working on two cedar benches to be installed next to the fire pit,” Tolsma says.

“I’ve had fun spending way too much time on Houzz, gathering ideas and images that have really helped to shape the project.”

The fire pit is just the beginning of Tolsma’s ongoing outdoor space renovation.

“I’m going to have my licensed gas contractor extend the gas line to accommodate a gas barbecue and heater in the future,” says Tolsma.

FortisBC notes that a natural gas barbecue

can be extremely convenient for homeowners looking for fuel on demand, as you’ll never have to deal with running out of propane or charcoal. It also allows you to cook with different temperatures at the same time and control the heat more easily.

Natural gas barbecues use flexible hoses that connect to the home’s natural gas supply and have a built-in shutoff. This quickconnect feature makes it simpler to attach as well. Another benefit is that cooking outdoors will keep your home cooler during the warm summer months.

Natural gas possibilities inspire renovators CONTINUED FROM HOME FRONT

In addition to using natural gas for outdoor living, Tolsma is including a new deck in her outdoor space renovation.

“The deck is built with locally harvested cedar, and has a lovely, earthy West Coast feel to it,” she says. “Brad even built a custom raised garden box with some of the leftover lumber. I’ve been busy with some landscaping and gardening work, so it’s all starting to come together.”

Another option for using natural gas outdoors is a hot tub, with its consistent, fast heat and automatic safety shut-off controls for added peace of mind. Plus, avid swimmers will be glad that natural gas can also heat swimming pools.

The possibilities for natural gas use outside continues to inspire renovators.

Depending on where you live, natural gas patio heaters keep you warm outdoors, even in the fall and winter. They use radiant heat to warm objects around them, according to FortisBC, and are connected to your home’s natural gas supply. You can also find natural gas patio lamps that can be used to light walkways, patios and other outdoor entertaining spaces. There are models available that provide bright steady light or ambient natural glow, so you’re easily able to create the mood you want for entertaining.

Natural gas is a convenient choice for more than just spending time outside.

The inside of Tolsma’s home is heated with natural gas as well.

“With a small house like mine, I love that my gas furnace can heat the house to a comfortable temperature within a few minutes,” says Tolsma. “I don’t have a fireplace inside, so I’m looking forward to having a natural gas fire feature on my new deck.”

Whether you’re upgrading your heating system or extending natural gas to the backyard, you’ll need the services of a licensed natural gas contractor. Find someone qualified in your neighbourhood at fortisbc.com/findacontractor.

The cost to operate natural gas appliances is very affordable.

Natural gas rates continue to cost less than it would cost to run with electricity. Don’t believe it? FortisBC has an online energy calculator that will help you compare the cost of fuel sources and their energy efficiency, demonstrating that natural gas is an affordable choice for homeowners. Find it at fortisbc.com/energycalculator.

Tolsma is blogging throughout her renovation. Find her blog on your local Black Press newspaper’s website, or at www.bclocalnews. com/business/realestate.

“I’m looking forward to having a deck launch party next month, and I will be inviting all my awesome family, friends, co-workers and neighbors who helped me win,” Tolsma says. “There will be burgers and s’mores galore!”

You too could enjoy natural gas in your backyard. Enter FortisBC’s Endless Summer Nights Contest for your chance to win a $10,000 natural gas dream patio. But hurry, the contest closes June 30, 2014.

Tea of a different kind

By Mike Lascelle

P

eople have been drinking green and black teas produced from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant since the third century AD, with Portuguese traders introducing it to the western world sometime in the early 1600s.

Coffee was domesticated around the same period in the Middle East, Turkey and North Africa – with the roasted seeds of Coffea arabica producing that delectable morning beverage that I know I can’t live without.

And while these two staples dominate the cafés and breakfast tables of many, there are innumerable botanical teas available that have either been used historically or are only prevalent in certain regions of the world.

The first that comes to mind is mate or yerba mate, which is actually derived from the dried leaves of a South American holly called Ilex paraguariensis. It is popular in Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Paraguay and is usually sipped through a flared metal straw that helps to filter out the rather chunky brew.

Mate is high in caffeine, with the leaves of male plants being more potent and it has an herbal flavour with some green tea overtones, although the biggest obstacle for the noninitiated will be its rather thick-bodied, twiggy appearance.

Closer to home and Canadian tradition is Labrador, or Trapper’s tea, a tasty hot beverage concocted from the leaves of a bog-loving shrub, Ledum groenlandicum (now classified as Rhododendron groenlandicum). This evergreen plant is native to the northern hemisphere of Europe and North America, as well as Greenland. While it was enjoyed by indigenous peoples prior to colonization, this tea was also marketed by the Hudson’s Bay Company throughout western Canada. I can personally attest to the pleasant flavour of this beverage, which I think has some Earl Grey overtones.

Early Europeans also used Labrador Tea to enhance their Gruit ales, or flavoured beers, at least until hops (Humulus lupulus) came into standardized use.

Next on our list of hot herbal beverages is Oswego, or Bergamot tea, which comes to us from a wild Beebalm species called Monarda

(Clockwise) Monarda fistulosa, Leptospermum scoparium ‘Red Damask’ and Ledum groenlandicum.

fistulosa. It is native throughout much of North America and was used as a medicinal and culinary tea by many first nations. The medicinal properties include some relief from colds, stomach aches, fevers and, I quote, “female disorders.”

This species makes a nice ornamental with its pale lavender flowers, although it is a bit aggressive. While it is pleasant tasting, pregnant (or nursing) woman and children should avoid its use.

Our last herbal tea also has close ties to the early exploration of Canada, albeit by sea. New Zealand tea tree, or Leptospermum scoparium, may have been brought to our shores as a tea or scurvy preventative (due to its high vitamin C content) that was reluctantly drunk by the sailors

under the command of Captain James Cook.

It is not reported to have been very tasty, hence the reason no one came back for seconds. New Zealand Tea tree is occasionally available here as a tender reddish-pink-flowered ornamental called ‘Red Damask’, which has double blooms.

While we’re on the subject of refreshing beverages, it’s still not too late for you to purchase a ticket (for $20 at Triple Tree Nursery, Amsterdam Garden Centre or Grow and Gather Nursery) to this Sunday’s Country Garden Tour – not only will we get access to eight stunning private gardens, but you’ll also receive snacks and something to drink, as well as all the good karma that goes with sponsoring the Sunshine Foundation’s ‘Dreams for Kids’, the recipient of all proceeds.

Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey has sent an inordinate number of players up the hockey ranks, all the way to the NHL, and on every rung of the ladder along the way.

On Saturday at 6:15 p.m., at Planet Ice, many will have a reunion game of shinny, back in their hometown, for the local fans, and for a good cause.

t felt like someone had stabbed Ben Payne in the stomach.

Right at a time when his amateur hockey career was coming to a close, and he was going to the professional ranks in Europe, his health was failing him.

Payne played his minor hockey in Maple Ridge, alongside a stellar cast of hockey prospects who have made their way to the pinnacle of the sport. Then he went on to the Grandview Steelers of the PIJHL for two seasons, followed by a BCHL career that saw him play for six different teams.

He then accepted a scholarship to play with Concordia University in the NCAA. After four years playing college hockey in Minnesota – the hockey heartland of the U.S. – he developed his game to a point where there were professional opportunities. He has French citizenship, and accepted a contract to play in the second division there.

A hockey buddy from his Ridge Ramblers days, Cody Campbell, was lighting it up with the club Angers.

But after graduation, in May 2013, he became ill. He was misdiagnosed and treated for appendicitis. When symptoms persisted, and he developed and internal infection, doctors thought his appendix had ruptured.

On it went, pain and infection, until the day before he was to leave for France, when he was diagnosed with Crohn’s

“I told them I worked my ass off for this, I want to go over and play.”

He was put on medication to try and manage the diseases, and gave it his best.

But he was dropping weight – from 175 pounds to 160.

A skilled forward, his production wasn’t where he expected it to be.

“I just wasn’t enjoying myself – I wasn’t 100 per cent,” he said. “I had a few points, but I wasn’t where I should have been.”

He told the club he couldn’t overcome this disease, and they told him to go home and get healthy.

Payne was admitted to St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, sicker than he thought, and did five weeks in hospital.

They found fistulas (holes) that had been draining an infection into his bladder, causing a secondary infection there, and elsewhere in his abdomen. If not caught, it could have killed him.

Medications and a liquid diet left him frail and skinny. He weight dropped to 141 pounds.

“I didn’t even look like the same person.”

Then doctors got it under control.

“Now, I feel better than I have in the past few years,” he said.

His good friend from Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey, Victor Bartley, went on to an NHL career with the Nashville Predators. He Skyped with Payne when he was still in France, struggling with Crohn’s, but was shocked at how bad the disease got.

“It was pretty scary to see,” said Bartley.

“Something like that could happen to anybody, if it could happen to someone as healthy as him.

“Luckily they caught it in time, and hopefully fixed it,” he added.

Payne has been working hard, is back up to a chiseled 178 pounds, and is once again trying to catch on with a club in Europe. With his French citizenship, he will not count against the limits that European clubs place on foreign players. He’s looking forward to continuing in the game he loves, and hopefully seeing more of the world as he does.

He appreciates what he’s got.

heart goes out to them.”

He took part in the “Gutsy Walk for Crohn’s and Colitis,” and afterward, he and Bartley came up with the idea of a charity game in their home town.

“We had an idea to do a game, and somehow give back to a foundation,” said Bartley. “We came up with the idea, and we just kind of ran with it, and so far support from the community and various sponsors around here has been great.”

Payne adds: “It has all happened so fast, but it’s coming together nicely.”

RMMHA alumni can’t wait to reunite in their hometown at the end of each hockey season. A game of shinny suits the occasion. The charity game was a natural.

“We come back here every summer,” said Bartley. “We didn’t want this to get too commercialized, we wanted to keep it for families and for local players from Maple Ridge.

“We’ve got a lot of players that have grown up here and played here, and friends. We’re a tight-knit group. It’s going to be a lot of fun and we’re looking forward to it.”

The Ridge Meadows Outlaws came second in the 2005 division of the third annual Advantage Cup spring hockey tournament last weekend.

The Outlaws were tied with the Pacific Knights entering the third period, but ended up falling 6-3 in the championship final.

Zack Lagrange, Kolby Koran and Aidan Mcdonald scored for the Outlaws, while goalie Andrew Monforton was selected team MVP for the game.

Lagrange had a hattrick and was MVP as the Outlaws opened the event with a 10-1 win over the Monarchs.

Mcdonald then netted three goals and was MVP as the Ridge team downed the Eagles 6-4.

The Outlaws previously finished second in the Chilliwack Jr. Chiefs tournament.

The team: Nic Muc, Curtis Cunningham, James Bennie, Kolby Koran, Aidan Mcdonald, Cohen Muc, Jordan Meech, Dawson Hemminger, Gavin Bell, Landon Smith, Kieran Lige, Paul Taylor, Aidan Chabot, Kaden Boyd, Chase Garret, Lagrange, Koran, Mcdonald and Monforton.

The Ridge Meadows French Toast Mafia, after falling 5-2 in the quarterfinals of the double-knockout playoffs, won three straight games to capture the minor division ball hockey title and qualify for the provincials.

Jared Paul allowed just one goal in the final three games, as the Mafia outscored opponents 7-1 during that stretch.

“We couldn’t have done it without him” coach Jon Silcox said of Paul.

Silcox said the Mafia players worked hard all season and earned their spot at the provincials.

“We focused mainly on dealing with

IRVING, Allan (Al) Aug. 1, 1933 - June 13, 2014 It is with great sadness that the family of Al Irving announces the passing of this very special person.

Predeceased by his parents, wife Melva and brother Ken (Pat), Al is survived by his sister, Karen (Henry -deceased) and brothers, Jim (Marilyn), Willy (Pat) and Stan. Also, by his five children: Gary, Carol (Andre), Glen (Chris), Roger (Cathy), and Sherri (Rainer), nine grandchildren, five great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

The eldest in his family, Al was born and raised in Maple Ridge; the family home still stands today, on River Road.

Al worked in many different sawmills throughout BC but mostly at the Hammond Cedar Mill. Al coached hardball in Hammond during the 60’s and 70’s with his loving wife, Melva, by his side, as his scorekeeper.

His favourite pastime was being with family and friends.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 21st at the Pitt Meadows Heritage Hall from 1 to 3:30pm with an open mike beginning at 2pm.

Old friends, co-workers and ball players that were coached

by Al, are encouraged to attend.

The family wishes to acknowledge and thank Al’s sister Karen Lucier and nieces Dennise & Deanne for the years of loving care that were provided. His extended ‘Davis’ family, is also recognized for continually making him a part of their family.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the BC Lung Assoc. or the Alzheimer’s Society.
