Golden Ears park needs cell signals ‘Bizarre’ there’s no service: Search and Rescue

Rockin’ in the Ridge

A drowning two weeks ago in Golden Ears Provincial Park has put the lack of cellphone service in the spotlight again.

A family was forced to run more than a kilometre to find a person with a cellphone signal strong enough to call 911 after a young woman fell into Gold Creek.

Their ordeal has Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue wondering why the province hasn’t moved to improve cell signals in the park, which attracts 610,000 visitors a year.

“It would certainly help things if we had cell service,” said search and rescue manager Rick Laing, whose team of volunteers spent three days looking for the 22-year-old after she slipped off rocks on June 25 near Upper Falls.

“If making farmland viable is

cutting it up into little pieces and selling it off – that is a pretty shortterm solution.

“People are attacking the ALC as the solution to everything and it isn’t. The ALR is being looked at as a quick fix,” by farmers who want to remove bits and pieces of their land from the agricultural reserve, for other uses.

“Pretty soon, there’s nothing left.”

Issues such as irrigation or water rates or anything that affects farming’s viability is the Ministry of Agriculture’s responsibility, he

added. “Our job is to make sure the land is there when people want to farm it.”

Bullock was at Maple Ridge council Monday explaining the recent legislation, Bill 24, that creates two zones for the Agricultural Land Reserve. Zone 1 includes the Fraser Valley, Okanagan and Vancouver Island.

Zone 2 comprises farmland in the rest of the province, which now is open to more non-farm uses of the land to support farm operations.

Reducing poverty ‘non-partisan’ issue NDP MLA visits Maple Ridge food bank as she pushes B.C. to change child support claw-back rules

support money from income assistance cheques. Only Quebec allows income assistance to receive $100 in child support before it’s clawed back. B.C. used to have a similar policy until 2002.

Liberal Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Doug Bing brought a similar issue to the B.C. Liberal convention in the spring, but it wasn’t voted on.

But Mungall was glad to see Bing do that.

“I’ve always been saying that reducing poverty is a non-partisan issue.” The resolution from Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Liberals shows that.

Mungall said a study needs to be done about the cost of living in B.C. and said income assistance rates should rise. They haven’t been changed in seven years.

Maple Ridge council supported a similar resolution recently, calling for those on income or disability assistance to be allowed to keep the first $300 in child support payments.

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

When families on income assistance get a few extra dollars a month, it goes to feed hungry mouths.

Even a few extra bucks, another $50 or $100 will be used for groceries.

“Every time, it means food,” said Michelle Mungall, Nelson MLA who stopped at the Friends in Need Food Bank on Friday.

“This is – number one – about food for their children. A lot of parents will go hungry so their children can eat.”

But in B.C., and most of the rest of Canada, they don’t see a penny of those extra dollars if it comes in the form of child support payments.

Child support payments go into Family Maintenance Enforcement Program, which are then paid to the mothers or dads who have custody. Income assistance or disability cheques are then reduced by the same amount.

Mungall wants to change that, so that parents who are raising their kids, can keep the child support payments, whether it be $70 or $750 a month.

“The child never sees their child-support payment. The child support is the right of the child,” according to a Supreme Court of Canada ruling, said Mungall with the NDP. “But our provincial government takes $17 million away from children in the form of their child support payments.

“A lot of the dads who pay, get so frustrated with this situation.” Mothers try to explain to their ex’s why their kids are going hungry, she said.

Currently in B.C., single parents on temporary income assistance receive $945 a month. And based on a Maple Ridge council

Mungall said the government saves $17 million by reducing the payments and says it wouldn’t be able to afford the loss of that money.

She was visiting the food bank to raise that issue and to learn how Maple Ridge’s food bank works. Mungall started the Nelson Food Cupboard.

After getting a quick tour and briefing, she found it a busy place. Currently, the food bank serves 738 households a month.

“A sense of community, lots of people

helping each other,” she added.

According to a one-month snapshot from June, there were 270 people on income assistance who were receiving monthly hampers from the food bank.

Another 180 food bank recipients were on disability assistance, while 131 had no income. But that latter number could have changed this month because those people could have found jobs, said Chuck Griffiths, operations manager.

In March, 721 grocery hampers were given out. When Griffiths started four years ago, the usual number was between 500 and 550.

MLA Dalton invited to volunteer at Friends in Need Food Bank Offer came after comments in legislature about poverty in B.C.

The MLA for Maple Ridge-Mission has been invited to volunteer at the Friends in Need Food Bank to learn more about families struggling to make ends meet.

After hearing comments about poverty made by Marc Dalton in the legislature, acting executive-director Mary Robson asked the B.C. Liberal to spend a week helping out at the food bank.

“We invited him to come down” said Robson Monday after the visit by Nelson NDP MLA Michelle Mungall.

She said Dalton would get back to her after the legislature broke for the summer but hasn’t heard yet.

Dalton drew criticism in April for his comments about poverty in B.C. The comments even became the subject of debate on a morning radio talk show, which

characterized them as “off-base.”

“I have not met children starving in British Columbia in the past 50some years. If they were, then I think that would be, normally, willful or criminal negligence,” said Dalton April 7, adding that B.C. is on the right track to reducing poverty. Dalton Mungall admits she was shocked after hearing Dalton’s remarks in the legislature.

“I couldn’t believe it,” said Mungall, who wants the province to end the clawback of child support from children whose parents receive income assistance.

“He needs to have a really good understanding that’s not the case.”

Dalton has clarified his remarks in the legislature, saying he did not want his comments to be construed as uninformed or

not recognizing the tremendous needs of many people. He has already reached out to the food bank to find out when he can volunteer. He also visited the food bank on Friday.

“My desire to connect is still there,” said Dalton, adding he knows poverty is an issue in Bing Maple Ridge.

“The food bank and Salvation Army are essential supports in the community, along with government. They make all the difference.”

Although B.C. has the highest poverty rate in Canada and is tied with Manitoba for the highest child poverty, Dalton points out that in the past 10 years, B.C.’s child poverty rate has dropped by 41 per cent to one of the lowest points in three decades.

Dalton said his government is reviewing

the child support clawback policy and is also participating in a pilot project where seven communities are testing different poverty reduction strategies.

More so, the province believes a strong economy will lift people out of poverty.

“Our government is focused on creating good jobs for those who are able to work.

Having a strong economy, that is the way to do it,” Dalton said.

Meanwhile, MLA Doug Bing reports there has been no more progress the claw-back policy since he tabled the issue on behalf of the Maple RidgePitt Meadows riding association at the B.C. Liberal Party convention in May. Bing has since talked to Minister Don McRae about the clawback.

“He was quite receptive but the timing isn’t right,” said Bing, adding that the province at present doesn’t have $17 million in its coffers to eliminate the clawback policy.

“I’m hopeful something will happen down the road.” Bing said a joint private members’ bill with Mungall is not in the cards.

Benefits Of Bamboo Flooring!

Bamboo is an eco-friendly, highly renewable source of material which grows much faster than traditional hardwoods. Moso Bamboo is the primary species used for the manufacturing of flooring and it can grow up to 4’ per day and 75’ in 45 days. It takes about 3-5 years for Bamboo to reach maturity. Traditional hardwoods take 20-120 years to mature. Bamboo can be harvested without replanting and in a sustainably harvested forest only 20% of the forest is harvested annually allowing for 100% harvest in a 5 year period. Bamboo naturally needs no irrigation, no fertilizers and no pesticides as it has very few pests. Trillium Bamboo Flooring is certified to meet the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council for environmental and social responsibility.

When life gives you lemons‌ Boy raises money for friend’s surgery

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

The fundraising goal of $20,000 was eclipsed before the boys’ lemonade stand even opened for business.

The story of Maple Ridge seven-year-olds Brayden and Quinn – one needing life-changing surgery in the U.S., and the other wanting to help his best friend – touched the hearts of a lot of people.

Brayden Grozdanich has cerebral palsy. His muscles are stiff and spastic on one side. He walks with the help of a leg brace, and he gets regular speech therapy.

He’s shy, but he’s sharp.

Quinn Collander has been his friend through kindergarten and Grade 1 at Hammond elementary. Quinn’s parents are scout leaders, and the boys are in Beavers together. They also go on camp trips, play some video games, and swim in the pool Brayden’s grandfather owns.

After a swim, Brayden’s muscles become pulled taught, and he needs physiotherapy.

Watching his friend getting physio had an impact on Quinn. “Brayden was upset, and had some tears, and Quinn was really affected by that,� recalled his mom, Heather Roney who agreed to help him with the fundraiser.

The family built a lem-

onade stand, secured some space at the entrance to the Real Canadian Superstore, and put the word out through social media.

It took off. “I asked my mom if we could to a lemonade stand to raise money,� explained Quinn at Sunday’s event. “I want to be able to play more games with him (Brayden).�

He was surprised and excited by the attention his lemonade stand garnered.

Customers flocked in. A tearful woman pressed a donation into an organizer’s hand.

Then four fire trucks pulled up, as firefighters gave support to one of their own – Brayden’s father Travis is an on-call firefighter. “It’s great!� said Quinn, looking around. “This is a big success, right?�

Roney put a donation website up at youcaring. com, under the heading “My Buddy Brayden.�

It had collected $23,000 already by Sunday morning.

An elderly man came to the stand with a $5 donation. “You’re a fine young man,� he said to Quinn. “You’re doing a good job.�

On Monday, after the lemonade stand, their fundraising total stood at $52,000.

A good job indeed. “It’s really overwhelming,� said Toni, Brayden’s mother. “But it’s amazing.

There are no words to

describe what everyone has done.�

Travis explained that there is a surgical procedure for Brayden offered in Canada, and it would be covered under the Medical Services Plan.

But it is more invasive, could require bone breaks, and has a long recovery time.

Spending $20,000 for what they consider the best treatment is well worthwhile.

That amount includes

the flights and accommodation, as well as the procedure, which is generally under an hour.

Two doctors in the U.S. offer a less-invasive procedure, known by the acronym SPML, which uses small incisions only two or three millimetres to scrape muscles and tendons where they are tight.

Brayden, his mother and grandmother will fly to New Jersey for the surgery on Aug. 7.

Teachers too easy

chool’s out and British Columbia’s teachers are still on strike.

Or are they?

Drive past any of the province’s more than 1,600 public schools and the picketing teachers who waved at passing motorists, eliciting horns of support or scorn, are absent. Their signs pleading for better education for their students with smaller classrooms and better class composition are packed away.

For all intents and purposes, it looks like another routine summer holiday season around BC’s schools. And yet it’s not.

The acrimonious dispute that put the teachers on the street, and kids’ education on hold, continues.

But there are no longer pickets to remind us that the strike is still on.

That may be a missed opportunity for the teachers’ union to score a point in the battle for public support in this dispute.

Continuing to picket the province’s schools through the summer, even in a skeleton fashion, would have been a constant reminder of what this dispute is about. Teachers could have shown their commitment to the cause they say they’re fighting for by continuing that fight even when they’re normally on holiday.

And maintaining pickets through the summer would have increased the pressure on the government to reach an agreement, as CUPE workers had pledged to honour teachers’ picket lines meaning routine summer maintenance, repairs and paperwork wouldn’t get done.

The provincial government is relying on public perception that teachers are already well paid and get to enjoy two months off every year to win support for its position.

Seeing pickets march in the hot summer sun might have won fans for the teachers.

A brief, or not, history of treaty talks VICTORIA – A few weeks before the landmark decision declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference.

Geography in British Columbia: People B.C. Views and Landscapes in Tom Fletcher Transition, by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition) is a good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics.

This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agreements, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation.

It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990, and the election the next year of Mike Harcourt’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title.

At this point, the textbook departs from the facts and leads its freshman pupils into left-wing dogma.

McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a provincewide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem’.”

“Commentators” in the above quote is of course only one commentator, veteran lefty Vancouver columnist Stephen Hume.

This quote was indeed representative of

the media consensus at the time. On TV, aboriginal leaders burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive. The public, and later university students, were taught that Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for political gain.

In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to complete historical treaties after 1900.

Seven of the eight questions in the 2002 referendum were simply to confirm the position of B.C. treaty negotiators. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties.

The first question asked if private land should be exempt from expropriation for treaty settlements. Private property rights are not so much a 19th century idea as a 17th century one, defined in 1690 by John Locke.

What remains true today is that no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual property rights. See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted.

The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent confrontations.

Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All were endorsed.

The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and Brit-

ish Columbia.”

Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands.

By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot.

“The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come.”

Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.”

That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year.

The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues.

The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come.

Liberals privatizing schools?

Golden Ears Bridge tolls forced upon us Editor, The News: In regards to the article, “Bridge tolls climb a nickel,” (The News, July 4) I am a little offended with a line in this article stating that bridge tolls with a user-pay model has been accepted by communities on both sides of the river.

I think it is more accurate to state we were not given a choice, and feel like it’s being stuffed down our throats.

I have a 23-year-old son who pays $122 per month on tolls, plus $200 for insurance, plus gas.

My husband also commutes over this bridge, so in our home alone we see $244 a month out of our household expenses. God forbid we have to cross the Port Mann Bridge.

To get to Langley without a toll, means we have to drive to Mission and Abbotsford, then around and now we stop for more fuel.

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin has the fortune of being able to work in the community which he lives. As for the three men in my home, they are forced to have to find work elsewhere.

You can’t squeeze blood from a stone, there are cracks in the lunacy of where government, at all levels, keeps asking for more, when there is none.

Editor, The News: Like your columnist, Jack Emberly, (Along the Fraser, July 4), I have been mystified as to how the B.C. Liberals have been able to reconcile their claim of “putting families first” with their seemingly wilful attacks on our public education system.

Surely, I thought, when they understand the importance of class size and composition to the well-being of our children, they will become fervent evangelists of restoring, even improving upon, reasonable standards.

But maybe they won’t.

After watching her interview with PBS’s Bill Moyers, I am now reading a book by Diane Ravitch called: Reign of Error: The Hoax of the Privatization Movement and the Danger to America’s Public Schools.

I think anyone who has an interest in education should read it.

The book is well-researched, and although it is about the U.S. school system, we know that our borders

“In this part of the world, forget it.

“We’ve been told in this part of the world, things remain the same, if not getting tighter.”

Maple Ridge Hogarth council previously supported a farmland exclusion application for about 250 acres of the former Pelton tree nursery at 203rd Street and Golden Ears Way. The commission rejected that in 2010.

Council also supported removing farmland in Albion flats, on the west side of 105th Avenue, for a shopping mall, despite being told by the commission it wouldn’t consider that.

In 2013, the commission rejected two exclusion applications for the west side, although it supports development on the east side.

Bullock said most of the applications facing the commission are for non-farm uses of land or for subdivision of farmland.

Municipal councils though have the power of even preventing such applications from getting to the commission.

“Those are the ones that you can focus on

and be helpful to us.”

Couns. Bob Masse and Cheryl Ashlie wanted to know if the commission can help with other issues.

Masse said the province should help clarify the soil classifications and quality in Maple Ridge.

How will the drought in California affect farming in B.C.? Masse asked.

Bullock though said those questions should go to the minister, Norm Letnick.

“I’ve got a lot of time for this dude. He listens and he understands and he knows what the big issues are.”

Underhill also told Coun. Corisa Bell that the commission would cooperate, but not fund, a district-wide study that would update soil classifications that would indicate the possible uses of ALR land in Maple Ridge.

Bullock said the public is more aware of the importance of agriculture and preserving farmland.

“I think the provincial government was absolutely gobsmacked,” by public response to this spring’s ALC legislation.

Parks says no plan for better cell links Rescue from Front

“To not have cellphone service up there, especially in this day and age, is pretty bizarre. After all, it’s one of the most busy parks in the province.”

The fourth-most visited park in the provincial system, visitors come to Golden Ears for the day to hike a network of trails which covers more than 60 km.

The June 25 drowning is the fifth death in the park in the past four years.

In July 2013, friends of Jacob Rutzen-Gibbs struggled to call for help after the 21-year-old drowned in Alouette Lake while trying to swim to shore.

Rutzen-Gibbs’ friend Jennifer Partridge had to jumped in a car and drive a fair distance before she could reach 911. After his death, Partridge called for park authorities to clearly mark the area along the beach where cell service

is available.

The Maple Ridge Fire Department believes improving cell signals would help rescuers and the people calling for help.

“It must be a horrible feeling when you can’t contact 911,” said fire chief Dane Spence. It would also help rescuers locate people more quickly.

The fire department has repeaters on its trucks to improve radio signals when they attend emergency calls.

“We work around it,” said Spence.

“We’ve never relied on the park to improve our signals.”

At present, B.C. Parks has no plans to improve cell coverage in the park, and no applications for cell towers.

There is a an emergency phone available for visitor use at the park gate. The Ministry of Environment said there have been “very few” complaints about limited cellphone coverage.

Candidate steps forward for school bd.

Air Transat flight attendant believes in teamwork

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

Lisa Beare is the first person to declare her candidacy for the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School Board.

She will run for one of the five Maple Ridge trustee positions in the Nov. 15 local elections.

She wanted to get an early start on campaigning.

“It’s my first run, so it’s good to give voters time to get to know me,” said Beare.

She enters school politics at a time when the local board has wrestled with consecutive budgets with shortfalls of

more than $5 million, and the entire system has been thrown into chaos by a teachers strike.

Beare attended a parent rally at the office of Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge MLA Doug Bing last week, and her first impression is that trustees will have to be convincing and determined to get funding set at a level where the system can be maintained.

“It showed me what an uphill battle this is going to be. It will be a tough fight,” she said.

“I will work hard to build a team that includes students, parents, teachers, staff, and Trustees. By joining together and raising our voices we can affect positive change in the education system.

Together we can make a

Wants to speak up for school district funding. difference.”

Beare does not have children, but has heard the student perspective from her niece, who is in Grade 11.

“She spent her entire 11 yeas in an underfunded system,” Beare said. “I want to be a voice for her.

Bear grew up in Maple Ridge, the oldest of five children.

She is a flight attendant for Air Transat, and is the vice-president of CUPE Local 4078, which represents Vancouver flight attendants with her employer. She served four years on the board of directors for Variety The Children’s Charity, is working on her local government management diploma from the University of Victoria, and is also active in the Canadian Women Voters Congress.

That group “educates and empowers” women to participate in democracy.

Municipalities get traffic fine windfall The municipalities of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows can thank bad drivers for an injection of cash from the province via its traffic fine

revenue sharing program.

This year, Maple Ridge will receive $532,172 while Pitt Meadows is set to $135,662 plus an

additional $122,250 in Small Community Grant funding.

Funding comes from the traffic fine program — part of almost $74

million being invested into communities across B.C. to help cover costs of policing, new equipment, safety initiatives and infrastructure.

Thanks Bruce I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

Council moves ahead with election law Referendum Q’s rejected

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Choose the question correctly and maybe you’ll catch people’s interest and maybe they’ll get away from the boob tube and YouTube and get to the toll booth.

Maple Ridge Coun.

Bob Masse likes the idea of coming up with a few questions, and adding the best to this November’s civic election ballot.

“If it’s carefully done, and is an issue we’ve identified as affecting the whole community … then it’s a useful exercise.”

Masse and Coun. Corisa Bell both wanted to consider the idea but were outvoted last week as council gave third reading to the election bylaw, to prepare for the November 2014 vote.

Final reading was to take place Tuesday.

The bylaw allows the election officer to vary polling booth times and requires each candidate to have 10 signatures, instead of only two.

“We weren’t in a big hurry in terms of a time crunch. There’s lots of time to go. I think we could have had a little better discussion,” Masse said.

He said as an example, one possible question could be a vote on if Maple Ridge should have a new museum.

“I’m not saying we need a museum, I’m just trying to pick an example of a communitywide issue.”

It might have been worthwhile waiting to see what other cities will do, he added.

“Everybody’s stuck

with the same issue. I don’t think our numbers are any worse than average.”

Maple Ridge is missing out by not looking at ways to get more people to the polls, said Ashlie Coun. Corisa Bell.

Ballot boxes could go in shopping malls and sports events and special events. The election should have been promoted at Canada Day. She was frustrated when council just passed the election law without taking the time to look at options. Vancouver and Surrey are trying different things to interest voters. But instead she said Maple Ridge wants to continue to leave it to voters to get to the polls.

Previous get-out-the vote campaigns haven’t worked, she said.

In the last municipal election, 25 per cent of eligible residents voted.

That’s down from a turnout of 29 per cent in 2008 and 31 per cent in 2005.

“You put polling stations were people already are to make voting convenient. We don’t want to have discussions about what we can do differently because we want to keep everything the same,” Bell said.

She favours adding the issue of municipal garbage collection to the ballot.

“Why don’t we get the real cost, put that on the ballot, and say, ‘taxpayers, it will cost you this amount of money.’ “ Chief elections officer Ceri Marlo though said councils usually don’t get involved in run-

ning elections.

“I can’t think of any cities where councils do that.”

She cited the 2012 Citizens Survey that said most people who don’t vote, either didn’t know the candidates or were simply out of town.

Coun. Cheryl Ashlie though disagreed with adding questions to the ballot, saying it could raise expectations or disappoint voters if

council didn’t act according to the public will. She disagrees with the concept of referendums in general saying people aren’t as informed on the issues as politicians.

“You are elected to make those infomed, tougher choices, that maybe other people don’t have the information on, but if they had it, they’d say, ‘Oh, that makes sense.’ “ She said council has “fully explored” the issue of garbage collection and said it’s not an issue for most people.

Metro road tolls could snag outsiders B.C. chamber says all should pay

by Jef f Nage l Black Press

A future system of road pricing proposed to fund TransLink should charge all drivers who enter the region – including those from the Fraser Valley who have until now avoided paying into the Metro Vancouver transportation system.

That’s the position of B.C. Chamber of Commerce president John Winter, who supports road pricing to raise money and encourage better use of roads.

Whether it ends up being a London-style congestion charge, a per-kilometre fee to drive anywhere in Metro or a more consistent set of tolls on all bridges, Winter says Valley residents shouldn’t be exempt when they cross the regional boundary from Abbotsford into Langley.

“Everybody who comes into this area and uses these roads, they have to pay for it,” Winter said.

Do you fit into one of these categories?

“I don’t think there are any exceptions.”

Former transportation minister Kevin Falcon once aimed to extend TransLink’s boundaries to include the Fraser Valley and Sea-to-Sky corridor, but the idea was dropped.

The typical Metro home pays $235 in property tax each year to TransLink.

Besides that, Valley motorists who avoid filling up in Metro dodge the 17-cent per litre TransLink gas tax, which Metro mayors have suggested they would reduce by six cents as part of a switch to road pricing.

There’s no sign yet of a deal between the province and the mayors that would send their transit expansion plan to referendum next year.

The province has indicated it may be too ambitious to build the proposed $7.5-billion in new rapid transit lines and other upgrades over 10 years.

Winter hopes the mayors abandon any attempt to create an additional carbon tax. “The impact on the economy would be horrendous.”

Volunteers get cooking Accessing groceries or cooked meals can be challenging at the best of times, and for seniors, those challenges could translate into serious health problems.

The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Community Services group of volunteers recognizes this and is doing whatever it can to get food to this community’s elderly.

Whether it’s through its Meals On Wheels program, their Community Meal Delivery program or the grocery part of their Better At Home program, community services is working to get good food to North Fraser seniors.

Community services program director Joanne Leginus says Meals On Wheels and Community Meal Delivery are similar programs.

Meals on Wheels delivers hot, nutritious meals, prepared by the Ridge Meadows Senior Centre, to qualified individuals, five days per week.

“We’ve worked with the Ridge Meadows Seniors Centre and the meals are prepared there, by their staff,” Leginus explains, adding meals can be altered to specific needs as for a diabetic, or someone with a food allergy. “We deliver a hot meal to seniors from Monday to Friday, delivered anywhere from 11:30 and 1 p.m. “ But Leginus says the meal delivery serves other purposes as well.

“A lot of the seniors that we deliver meals to live alone and, for some of them, our volunteers are the only contact they have,” she says.

So while the program is about delivering meals, it also provides social contact and a safety check.

“Often times, family members who don’t

live in our community phone us to arrange for mom or dad who are on their own and they’re worried about them because they’re not eating,” Leginus explains. “And they don’t have contact with others but they want to be in their homes. So it’s a way for them to support their parents by bringing services in.”

Meal deliveries are 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday. No deliveries are made on weekends or holidays, but extra meals can be provided for those times.

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows seniors who, for health reasons cannot prepare meals, qualify for the service, but must be able to pay $6.50 per meal.

But that’s not the only way the community services helps get food to local seniors.

“We also do transportation for grocery shopping. In most cases we encourage and want the seniors to come with the volunteers,” says Leginus, who oversees the program. “But in those cases where they’re unable, we will shop for them.”

The service is available to seniors with health or mobility reasons, but there will be a $2 delivery charge added to the cost of the groceries.

Seniors who need help with groceries can call the agency’s grocery delivery service at 604-882-7877 Thursday to Monday and leave their name and phone number to order grocery delivery. Customers are called on Tuesday to have their order taken down. Groceries orders are filled on Wednesday and delivered as soon as possible.

Supports for seniors to stay home longer Better at Home program is offered in Maple Ridge The goal of the provincial government is now to keep seniors living comfortably in their own homes, with the proper supports, for as long as they are able.

Recently, Health Minister Terry Lake announced an additional $2 million in funding for United Way’s Better at Home program, which provides non-medical supports to help seniors remain independent in their homes for as long as possible.

“Seniors have given so much to our lives and our communities and government is committed to supporting them to remain in their homes and out of hospital as long as possible,” said Lake, who made the announcement at a symposium for seniors organized by ONCORE, a Better at Home service provider.

“The services provided by the Better at Home program reflect the ministry’s strategic focus on strengthening home and community care.”

To date, government has provided $22 million in funding to en-

Better at Home provides services to help seniors stay independent. hance and support the operations of the Better at Home program, which now operates in 60 communities throughout B.C. One of those communities is Maple Ridge. Some of the local services include: n Transportation services tailored to meet the needs of seniors who are living in their own homes and require transportation to medical appointments. Shopping services encourage seniors to accompany volunteers on shopping outings.

Contributed

n Visiting services provides friendly visits to seniors in their homes. n Housekeeping services provides non-medical home support (i.e. cleaning, laundry). n Handyman service offers affordable home maintenance to seniors, helping to provide a safe home environment.

Clients must be 65 years or older and reside in Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows. They must be able to get in and out of the volunteer’s vehicle with limited assistance. Eligible

individuals must register in the program. The cost to residents is a sliding scale, based on the client’s ability to pay.

“Most seniors want to help themselves and others,” said seniors advocate Isobel Mackenzie. “It is all of our responsibility to ensure they have the tools, supports and services to realize their full potential.”

Managed by United Way of the Lower Mainland, the Better at Home program services vary from community to community and are selected, along with service providers, through an engagement process that includes local seniors.

Examples of Better at Home services include friendly visits, light yard work, minor home repair, grocery shopping, light housekeeping and transportation to appointments.

“Our mandate is to help seniors remain independent and active in their communities,” said United Way of the Lower Mainland president Michael McKnight.

“We look forward to continuing to expand the Better at Home program.”

Better at Home is a key component of B.C.’s Seniors Action Plan,

which commits to ensuring improved access to non-medical supports to help seniors stay in their own homes.

“The focus of today’s senior symposium is on age-friendly cities and rural communities and how we can all better support seniors where they live,” said ONCORE executive director Suzan Goguen.

“As a service provider, we see first-hand the difference the Better at Home program makes in people’s lives and with this increase in funding, it is evident that government understands the importance of allowing seniors to maintain their independence.”

or two days every July, the District of Maple Ridge is transformed into a West Indies island sanctuary for those taking part in the 14th annual Maple Ridge Caribbean festival.

Beginning noon on Saturday July 12 and running until 7 pm Sunday July 13, the annual festival will be lighting up downtown with everything from 15 live bands representing all genres of Caribbean music and performing on two stages, to an open air market and large kid zone featuring rides and street entertainers.

And this year, the volunteer Maple Ridge Caribbean Festival Society will be showcasing their newest attraction - a colorful parrot mascot who has yet to be named.

“You can see him on our Facebook page. We want the community to submit their suggestions,” says event organizer and host Deddy Geese.

Devoted to the family-friendly affair since its inception, Geese recalls when the festival was just getting started.

“I remember the first year so well. We were very green doing this,” he says.

Geese emphasizes he still loves all aspects of festival planning including the musical line-up that always includes repeat performers back by popular demand such as the California Beach Boys tribute band.

Other favourites include King Fish, a master of the limbo as well as Maffie and Crew who always get the crowd on their feet with soca, reggae,

Maple Ridge actor stars in spirited comedy Ben Odberg plays Charles in Peninsula Production’s presentation of Blithe Spirit

Beverly Malcom/CONTRIBUTED

Stefania Wheelhouse as Edith the Maid; Ben Odberg as Charles Condomine ; Annabel Kershaw as Madame Arcati; Tych as Ruth Condomine and Cherise Clark as Elvira in a scene from Blithe Spirit.

Maple Ridge actor Ben Odberg is set to take to the stage again in White Rock as the lead actor in Peninsula Productions presentation of Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit.

This is Odberg third production in a row with Peninsula Productions. Last summer, he played the lead in their world premiere of Ken Ludwig’s The Games Afoot. He then took to the stage in their critical smash hit Ariel Dorfman’s Death and the Maiden.

“Ben is a directors dream” says Wendy Bollard, the show’s director. “He is incredibly talented and works hard. I couldn’t ask for better.”

Set in an English Country house, Blithe Spirit centres on socialite and novelist Charles Condomine, (played by Odberg) who cheekily engages a medium, Madame Arcati, to conduct a séance hoping to gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his temperamental first wife, Elvira, much to the chagrin of his current wife, Ruth. Trying to keep both women happy may prove to be too much for Charles.

Overloaded with work?

Hire some help!

This summers production of Blithe Spirit is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Peninsula Productions have engaged Annabel Kershaw to play Madame Arcati and Cherise Clarke to play Elvira. Kershaw has graced the stages at the Arts Club, the Vancouver Playhouse, the Gateway Theatre and is the recipient of two Jessie awards for best actor. Clarke has worked with the Arts Club, Blackbird Theatre, Neworld Theatre and has performed in Noel Coward’s Hay Fever under the direction of Nicola Cavendish.

Also featured is Lori Tych who plays Charles and Ruth Condomine, Sheila Reader-Romo, and Andrew Wood as the Bradmans and newcomer Stefania Wheelhouse as Edith, the hapless maid.

When Blithe Spirit premiered in London’s West End in July of 1941, Coward at first came under critical attack for making light of death as the Second World War raged on; however, theatre goers welcomed the comic relief, and it was a huge hit with 1,997 performances. Since then it has played to the delight of audiences all over the world.

• Blithe Spirit runs until July 26 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Road in White Rock. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students or seniors. For tickets, call604-536-7535 or visit www.peninsulaproductions.org.

Winding up for Canadian Open Knights gear

up for football

Lots of local flavour at fastpitch gala

The Meadow Ridge Football Association is gearing up for its 22nd season as a non-profit association.

The group provides the gear and the financial help that some families may need to play tackle football. All boys and girls have the opportunity to play football, flag football or join a cheerleading team. Flag football starts for children born as early as 2007, 2008, and 2009.

The football association has a wealth of National Coaching Certification Program coaches, and all of them used to play football.

The coaching philosophy is that structure in a fun atmosphere is a winning combination.

With organizations like Kidsport, Jumpstart, and Tzu Chi to provide financial aid, families face fewer barriers to joining sports teams.

For registration information, financial aid information, or any general enquiries contact Jill on her cell at 604-626-3295 or by e-mail: meadowridgeknights@gmail.com.

A Maple Ridge outfielder will be donning the red and white of Team Canada when the national women’s team competes at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship in Surrey next week, July 15-24, based at Softball City.

Larissa Franklin made the team as a regular for the first time in 2013, and was named to the squad again this summer. After the Canadian Open, the team will head for Europe for the World Championship in the Netherlands Aug. 15-24.

Franklin, who also competed for Canada at the junior women’s level, plays outfield for Indiana Purdue University Fort Wayne, and speed on the basepaths and in centre field is her most obvious asset.

The softball gala also features the up-andcomers in fastpitch, and Ridge Meadows softball will be sending three teams.

Kim Brooks competed in the tournament in its first year, and the coach of the Ridge Meadows Pride 96 team still remembers it.

“It was a huge deal,” she said. “Back then, it was the Canada Cup.” Now it is one of the top three women’s fastpitch events on the planet, and the biggest in Canada. The event is expected to draw more than 100,000 spectators over 11 days.

Her Pride players, a mix of girls born from 1996-1998, are “super excited” to be involved

Referees work provincial cup Neil Corbett/THE NEWS

Hailey Motherwell of the Ridge Meadows Pride Under 16 team will be one of many local players taking part in the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship in Surrey in an event where they get to play elite competition, and also watch some of the best women in the world compete.

Her team had a great season, but it ended at the provincials last weekend with them wondering what might have been. They came out of round-robin play as the third seed, with a 3-1 record. Their only loss was 4-3, in a game they had led. But the injury bug bit them hard,

and there were only seven healthy players by the end of the tournament. They finished fifth.

There are lots of college scouts at the tournament, but they will find the Ridge grads who are available have already been spoken for.

Georgia Lagore, a great defensive outfielder, is going to Lake State Regional College in North Dakota; and Hayden Craig, who

plays third base and has a good batting eye, is on her way to Olympic College in Washington state.

The Ridge Meadows Pride 96 will open on July 14 against the Nevada Lightning, and will play five games over the next four days.

The Ridge Meadows Rage 98 B team begins action on Friday against the Vancouver Wildcats, and then will play three more games on

the July 12.

“They’re a really good B team, and they’ll have a shot at winning their division,” said Brooks.

The Ridge Meadows Pride 99 will play five games from the 1214th, and have games against teams from Washington, Calgary and Saskatchewan.

“They’re a good little team too.”

Four local referees were recognized for the quality of their work with assignments at the BC Soccer Association Provincial A Cup championships.

Nik Dyer, Atle Koellmel, Katie Fung, and Jong In Lee worked the provincials, which was held July 2-6 in Burnaby.

Referees earn selection to match appointments by their performance and development throughout the season. Dyer, Koellmel and Fung all received four match assignments, including appointments to medal games. Unfortunately, Lee suffered an injury that took him out of the tournament.

In addition to working one match each day, referees also received high performance training with daily on-field practical sessions, as well as classroom technical sessions. Assessments of their performance are intense and ongoing, with feedback provided on their work as referees, assistant referees and in educational sessions.

West Coast Auto Group FC referee coordinator Tim Blaine and former head referee Nigel Colclough have also put in long hours at the BCSA Referee Instructors and Assessors Symposium, which is held in conjunction with the tournament. Their ongoing training will further support the continued development of local officials.

Alouette District appeals to stop Albion FC Takes complaint to national association

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

The organizers of the new Albion FC Soccer Association in Maple Ridge are facing a challenge to the association’s legitimacy.

The Alouette District Youth Soccer Association, the body that oversees minor soccer in the Pitt Meadows-Maple RidgeMission region, denied Albion FC membership in the district on May 9.

Albion FC appealed that decision to the B.C. Soccer Association, and the Alouette District’s ruling was reversed on June 10.

Albion FC began preparing to compete as a new association, with some 500 players, beginning in September.

But that may be in doubt, after the Alouette District hired a lawyer and took the issue to the Canadian Soccer Association – the “supreme court” of soccer regulation in the country.

Alouette argues that Albion FC’s original appeal was groundless, because it did not identify a bylaw rule or regulation that was contravened.

“Our job as a district is to ensure that there are appropriate levels of play locally available to all children, and recreating a fragmented system, serves no one well,” says a release from Alouette.

“There are great strides being made within the current make-up of the Alouette District Youth Soccer Association, and there is simply no need to go backwards in the board’s point of view.

“The board also felt that there was ample opportunity for those within Albion FC to work within the current system for the betterment of the game for all.”

Historically, there had been two soccer associations serving Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, and they combined to form the West Coast Auto Group FC two seasons ago.

The release says the B.C. Soccer appeals committee decision “sets a danger-

ous precedent,” and will “bring into question every decision made by the Alouette District Youth Soccer Association board and every other district in the province and could allow people to appeal any board decision they simply do not agree with.

“This then renders the BCSA the final judge on district matters, contrary to the BCSA Constitution.”

It says the Alouette board will meet again to discuss the matter in midAugust.

“For families who have already registered withAlbion, we appreciate the uncertainty the BCSA decision is causing.

“To be certain that your child will have a place to play in the fall; we encourage you to register with one of the two existing district clubs (West Coast Auto Group FC or Mission Soccer Club).”

Albion FC president Mike Smith sent members a letter outlining the situation.

“The Alouette District claims to want to further soccer in the District but when District parents ask

for another club because they want an alternative to the existing one, the Alouette District responds by

spending money they get from registrations on lawyers and appeals. Why? “What is wrong with al-

lowing people who want an alternative to have one?”

“According to the rules,

&

we have a club and until we are told otherwise, we will continue to have a club,” he said.
