‘Respectful’ gathering at city shelter Residents still want questions answered

By Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

Grover Telford has questions and concerns about the temporary homeless shelter at 22239 Lougheed Highway.

What are the goals of the shelter?

How many people are being transferred into treatment? What is the success rate of treatment?

To draw attention to his quest for knowledge, the former Maple Ridge council candidate is organizing the On Site Community Expression of Concern this Saturday, at 11 a.m., across the street from the shelter.

“Please note that it is a respectful and peaceful gathering,” Telford said on the Facebook group Protecting Maple Ridge.

Pitt to hire parks, rec consultant Controversy over confidential report

By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

After much debate, Pitt Meadows council voted to spend $70,000 to hire a consultant to help build a new parks and recreation department.

“This is one of the biggest, scariest issues facing our senior leadership team right now,” Lorna Jones,

director of human resources, told council Tuesday.

“This is the second largest department [in the city], and in 12 months we will have no expertise in this area at all.”

On Oct. 20, Maple Ridge council served notice to Pitt Meadows that after a 21-year partnership, it will opt out of the joint service agreement for parks and recreation, effective Oct. 31, 2016.

The parks and recreation staff are all employees of Maple Ridge.

On Tuesday, Pitt council was

asked by city staff to approve the hiring of a third party consultant with experience in providing parks and rec services and to work on a smooth transition providing them independently.

The consultant will “identify and evaluate options for the delivery of Bell parks and recreation services and develop a plan to transition the organization from the current joint service delivery model to

the new preferred service delivery model,” said the recommendation from staff.

Couns. David Murray, Bruce Bell and Mike Stark balked at the cost, and argued that Pitt Meadows shared costs in parks and rec services should buy them some of the needed information.

Bell said the existing staff should be able to provide some of this work, such as providing an invenNOW BOOKING

tory of recreation facilities and services.

He said resources are limited, and the $2.2 million that Pitt Meadows currently puts toward parks and rec joint services should be the new budget for parks and recreation.

“We need to do some work on this,” said Bell. “There’s only so much money, and we have to replicate what we have, and try to make it better.”

He called the hiring “a total waste of up to $70,000.”

Maple Ridge remembers M

aple Ridge remembered on Tuesday.

About 5,000 residents attended the Remembrance Day ceremony in Memorial Peace Park, according to Fred Armstrong, City of Maple Ridge.

“This may have been the largest crowd that I have ever seen, and I’ve been coming to this since 1997.”

He reasoned that the large crowd may have been because the weather was sunny and mild and people had no excuse not to go to the service.

Also, the city this year set up a “Gallery of Heroes” Facebook page, on which residents sent in pictures and stories of family members in the services.

What Armstrong liked was that several pictures of younger veterans that were submitted.

Preschool may have to find new home Golden Ears Preschool has operating in downtown Maple Ridge since 1988 B y Phil Mel nyc huk pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

A NEW SPIN TO YOUR VOLUNTEERING

The Golden Ears Preschool has been part of downtown’s landscape for years, since 1988, first out of the old Cam Neely arena, then the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre.

But next August, it could be hunting for a new home if it loses out in a competitive bid process for use of the city-owned space.

And that worries the non-profit Golden Ears Preschool Association, which counts on volunteers to help with the administrative chores. “We’ve been there a long time,� says Blake Whitelaw, one of the directors of the association.

Successive generations have had their first few years of school there and one former student is now a director, while another former student did her teaching practicum there.

Whitelaw said if the preschool loses out on the bid and can’t resign a lease, it will have to look elsewhere.

A new location could mean costly renos and rents higher than the

$600 a month they pay now. “There’s a whole bunch of unknowns for us right now,� said Whitelaw. “It’s kind of scary, because we’ve been a partner with the city for 28 years. Especially for the teachers, it’s a real stressful situation.�

Currently, there are 51 pre-schoolers attending the school, open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. After those hours, the city uses the space for other purposes.

Whitelaw says the 800 sq. foot space is in a prime location and the lease amount is a good deal.

When the Leisure Centre was built, the pre-school space was specifically built for that purpose.

Danielle Pope, with Maple RidgePitt Meadows parks and leisure services, says that the lease expires for good in 2016. “This was their last right to renew,� she said. “So typically, what we would do is go out to market.�

That’s to ensure fairness in the process, she explained.

The city is also in the process of hiring a consultant who will analyze the best use of the spaces within the Leisure Centre. The city will wait until that is completed before proceeding with seeking bids on the pre-school space.

For the record Maple Ridge municipal staff do not receive free admission or registration to parks and recreation services. A recent online comment, published in the Nov. 6th edition, contained incorrect information. City staff members and their families pay for the services that they use.

Churches to bring in three refugee families B y Phi l M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

OF N FER OV E 30 ND TH S

The Golden Ears United Church congregation didn’t wait for the new government to kickstart the Syrian refugee program in order to make good an election promise. The church has already filed an application to bring in people that desperately need a new home.

Now members are hoping that paperwork to bring over a Kurdish family of four from Iran won’t be buried under the government’s election promise to bring in refugees from Syria.

“It’s wonderful that the government is taking on the promise to bring in 25,000 Syrians by the end of the year,” said Leenane Shiels, with Golden Ears.

“We don’t know what that means for processing time for our application because they’re non-Syrians.”

It’s been a tense time for

the family, which is now waiting in Turkey, living in one room.

“It’s a family of four, mom and dad who are both in their late 30s, and an 11-year-old boy and a two-year-old boy.”

“The situation for Kurds is very dangerous in Turkey at the moment,” said Shiels.

Turkey recently launched air strikes against Kurdish forces, an ethnic minority in Turkey, although both are supposed to be fighting ISIS. Sponsoring a refugee family requires a yearlong commitment, but most church groups help the arrivals from beyond that time period.

It could be that the federal government uses different departments to process private refugees sponsorships and government-sponsored applications.

“But I’m guessing that all resources are going to be focusing on the 25,000

government-sponsored refugees. We’re unsure at the moment about what it means for applications that are currently in the system.”

Shiels said it can take from months to a year to get a refugee family into Canada, while the cost for sponsoring a refugee family for a year is $27,000.

Fortunately, the mom’s sister, Marziyeh, who lives in Coquitlam, has already raised $20,000, and the United Church has contributed $5,000.

“I think we’ve raised about $1,000,” Shiels said.

Financing the effort is up to churches or whoever is the sponsor.

“In private refugee sponsorships, the private sponsor takes on the full cost.”

Shiels said the time for processing a refugee application often depends on where the refugees are located and whether they have the proper documentation.

On Tuesday, the UN

*

high commissioner for refugees, António Guterres, called Canada’s goal of bringing in another 25,000 refugees a “huge gesture of solidarity with the Syrian people and the countries neighbouring Syria, which together are hosting more than four million refugees and bearing the brunt of the crisis.”

The St. Patrick’s Parish on 121st Avenue in Maple Ridge, however, is sponsoring two families from Syria.

One is a family of five, two daughters and a son, and the other is a family of seven, three daughters and two sons.

The first family is from Baghdad and the second is from Nineveh.

“Both are Catholic families who had fled to Turkey from Iraq due to the persecution of Christians,” says St. Pat’s newsletter.

And both have been cleared by Turkish authorities.

Welcome view Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet is a refreshing take on building federal leadership.

A scan of the cabinet line-up looks largely like a snapshot of today’s Canada. Our population includes roughly half men and women; we are no longer a country of First Nations, French and English but rather a diverse tapestry of people and cultures that includes these three but also so much more.

In decades past, the federal cabinet, like so many areas of North American culture, was dominated by white males, largely because that was who was in a position to run for parliament.

In more recent years, women candidates began making inroads into higher-raking positions, and with them individuals of different ethnicities who before had been sorely under-represented.

Post-election, our expectations for cabinet were primarily regionally based – prime ministers needed to assign positions to both French and English MPs, and ensure different regions were shown a little love with a seat at the table.

Other than the French/English mix, cultural considerations and gender balance were rarely discussed.

Today, Trudeau has given Canadians a cabinet that while not perfect, better represents our country today, where a good selection of talent allowed him to challenge outdated stereotypes of what constitutes “merit.”

Should someone be chosen for a particular portfolio simply because they are male, female, French, English, Inuit or Sikh?

No. But given the array of educated, skilled and experienced MPs from which to choose, Trudeau’s leadership team provides a welcome balance that more accurately reflects the nation it represents.

Efforts to improve the slough T

en-year-old Janna smiled triumphantly as she reached over the bow of her canoe to snap a trash grabber onto a plastic bottle.

Seconds later, her brother, Joseph, 8, excitedly paddled up in a separate canoe, Along the Fraser hoping to add the same prize to his open Jack Emberly garbage bag.

“They’re trying to see who could collect the most trash,” explained their mom, Dora Steiner.

Oct. 24 was a chilly fall afternoon. Rain clouds threatened to soak Janna and 16 other canoeists paddling Katzie Slough from Harris Road bridge westward to the Lougheed Highway overpass and beyond.

The event, sponsored by Lina Azeez of Watershed Watch, was the second of two garbage clean-ups this year inspired by Scott Magri, of the Katzie Slough Restoration Project.

Again, volunteers would fill a dozen bags with household and industrial trash.

“It included,” said Azeez, “a rake, styrofoam, bottles, buckets, chairs, and empty fertilizer bags.”

Janna could have been watching Saturday TV. She elected to collect a mess left by adults, instead.

Q

uestion of the week:

“Why?” I asked.

“I wanted to help the earth.”

That sentiment was echoed by a longtime Alouette Field Naturalist Fran Pattison and local scout leader Simon Matthews.

“I’ve heard of Scott’s work with the slough, and I’d love to see him succeed,” said Matthews. “Our group is sponsored

by ARMS and does a number of restoration projects. If we can get Pitt Meadows to supply the plants, we can provide a decent amount of labor. I’m sure we can come down and do clearing and plantings a couple of times a year.”

Pattison had never canoed. She was nervous about getting into one without knowing how to paddle, but decided to join the slough clean-up anyway.

“The idea of a nature-appreciation opportunity that contributes to a healthier environment made me want to do the trip,” said Pattison, adding she “wasn’t surprised” to see the abundance and variety of local waterfowl – ducks, coots, kingfishers, hawks, eagles.

“We’re so blessed to live in this incredibly natural place. It’s time to start doing something that nourishes this gift of nature in our city.”

This time and last, Azeez set fish traps that we later checked to gauge numbers and species. We found an abundance of pumpkinseed fish, a catfish, and protected three-spined sticklebacks, and multicolored sculpins, pretty fish that can exist in

oxygen deficient water.

A city-funded inventory in 2013 listed nine species, including perch, brown bullhead, northern pike minnow, largemouth bass, carp, black crappies, coho, and cutthroat trout. Most never head out to the Pitt River. Those that do – coho and trout – are ground up by the antiquated Kennedy pump station, which isn’t fish friendly and should be replaced.

“Katzie Slough is able to provide suitable habitat,” concluded the Scott report.

“Maintenance work to improve fish habitat and protect the city’s infrastructure could be performed during the late summer months.”

Katzie Slough could be a proud recreational badge for Pitt Meadows, an ecological wonderland for kids like Janna and Joseph. It’s an irrigation ditch and dump site. Millfoil weed reduces dissolved oxygen while constricting the channel.

Water temperatures – above 21 degrees this summer - kill trout and coho that should thrive. In the summer – with the next drought – farmers will again fight to pull clean water for crops from Katzie sludge that gets deeper each year.

One remedy is to run more water through here from the Kennedy pump, but so far the city has failed to do this, citing flood concerns that can be avoided with new thinking and investment.

Jack Emberly is a retired teacher, local author and environmentalist.

‘Be our voice’ Undoing of a proud history Editor, The News: Re: Masse can’t make meetings (The News, Nov. 4).

It is unfortunate that elected representatives are not able to make meetings when they are pre-scheduled.

It was my understanding that individuals who run for local office are doing so, so they will be the voice for the people who elected them.

Maybe they should think first on how they will prioritize their time and handle their own affairs before excepting these positions.

Editor, The News: Re: The silence before and following the announcement of the pending demise of the parks and leisure services commission is deafening.

Here is an organization that has served two communities very well for over 20 years being summarily disbanded.

The decision has been made in-camera with no public consultation, despite of the fact that thousands of our citizens are affected, many of them children.

The News reported that a

deal to remedy identified cost issues was in the works.

This has apparently been abandoned. As far as one can tell, there has been no attempt at mediation.

The benefits of the cooperative model have been many.

Both arts and sports organizations and have achieved synergies that would not have materialized had each city been operating independently.

Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge share so much naturally. The school district, host of many sports facilities, is one entity for all our kids.

The health region and hospital are the same.

The RCMP is one unit.

The geography lends itself to cooperation.

Here we are, all the people residing between the Pitt and Stave rivers, bound by the Fraser River and the Coast Mountains. Not such a big area, and so well defined. Citizens move around it with ease. Many have lived in both places.

Why are we so hastily abandoning a model that demonstrates inter-city cooperation, effective use of resources, and which encour-

ages positive relationships among our citizens?

All with hardly a murmur in either place, at any level.

It all looks like a bad divorce.

I urge politicians in each city to give it their best shot.

At the very least, seek mediation and speak with your citizens before undoing a proud history of creative, cooperative endeavor.

B.C. Hydro should do right thing Editor, The News: Re: Sockanee not coming back to South Alouette (The News, Nov. 6) I read with interest, and frankly, disgust and amazement, that ARMS still has to “convince” B.C. Hydro to build a fishway to allow fish access to and from Alouette Lake to the South Alouette

River.

There should be no convincing required; B.C. Hydro should do the right thing, or be forced to do it, and do it quickly.

Hydro has known since 1926, when the dam was built, that it wiped out the sockeye run.

Why should it build the fish ladder?

How about using Justin Trudeau’s recent and priceless answer to another stupid question: “because it is 2015.”

(Add incredulous tone that the question is even being asked).

‘Dumped on business area’ Shelter from front

“We’re going to plant ourselves across the street from the shelter,” he added later.

The intent is not to provoke or confront anyone, just to make the point that people still have questions.

“Whether you agree with the shelter or not, it was kind of dumped on the business area.”

Politicians talk about transparency,

but Telford questions how much transparency occurred when the shelter’s location was announced this past summer.

Maple Ridge council made a decision on a location in a closed meeting and because rezoning wasn’t required, a public meeting wasn’t needed.

The shelter closes on March 31, but Telford is concerned about the selec-

tion process for any permanent shelter that may follow.

Matt Kelso has several questions about the shelter that he wants answered, as well.

He met with Rain City Housing staff Nov. 4, but still hasn’t received detailed replies to a list of questions.

He was told that people can inject drugs on site, providing they follow the “buddy system,” in which two users watch each other, to ensure neither overdoses.

He’s questioning the effectiveness

of the shelter, saying that people are not being encouraged to kick their habits.

“So someone can stay there for six months, don’t take advantage of any of the programs, stay on drugs the whole time, use everyday till it closes.

Are they still allowed to stay? They said yes.”

Rain City pointed that out in a fact sheet when the shelter opened Oct. 1.

“Abstinence is not a requirement for staying at the shelter, but is one

of many possible positive outcomes that will occur for folks staying at the shelter,” said the fact sheet.

It follows the Housing First program, in which people are first found homes, then helped to deal with whatever issues they have, rather than insisting on abstinence as a condition of getting housed.

Kelso was also told that staff don’t know how many people with criminal records are staying at the shelter and that there’s only one counsellor there once a week.

Dispensary meets with Read Marijuana is still ‘illegal’

By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

The operator of the third medicinal marijuana dispensary in Maple Ridge has met with Mayor Nicole Read and councillors and plans to continue operating under a “compassion club” model, until the new Liberal government legalizes the drug.

Paul Hallelujah opened Weeds Glass and Gifts with partner Don Briere on 225th Avenue on Oct. 19, with the hope that newly elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will follow through on his promise of legalization.

The downtown Maple Ridge shop was soon visited by bylaw enforcement officers, who ticketed him for operating without a business licence.

Tuesday he met with Read and two councillors.

“They stuck to their hard line,” he said. “Federally, it’s illegal.”

However, he found Coun. Craig Spiers was sympathetic to his cause, and is optimistic about his future in Maple Ridge. For now, Hallelujah will continue to operate as a dispensary, selling mostly edible marijuana products to people who need them for medicinal purposes.

“It’s a grey zone. Nobody really wants to stop us from giving clean medicine to people,” he said.

And ultimately, he would like to sell legal, recreational marijuana from the same site.

His partner, Brier, owns 21 sites that sell medicinal pot, as well as paraphernalia.

Read said whether Hallelujah operates as a medical marijuana dispensary is a matter for the criminal justice system.

“Right now, it’s up to the RCMP,” said the mayor.

She reiterated to Hallelujah that until new legislation is introduced, any dispensaries are operating outside the law.

Read said council will have a discussion about dispensaries from a land-use perspective – appropriate zoning for

Paul Hallelujah opened Weeds Glass and Gifts on 225th Avenue on Oct. 19. such operations, in the coming weeks.

She was not sure council will have an appetite for drafting a lot of regulations for dispensaries the way Vancouver has.

“This is still early days,” she said.

She would rather wait for direction from Trudeau’s government.

In the meantime, Hallelujah said there is a brand of vape-juice for electronic cigarettes being sold locally that contains THC. “We’re losing our market share really fast.”

Spiers said the issue is clearly a criminal matter that should be enforced by the RCMP, if anyone. He doesn’t want

the city to get embroiled in the issue.

“My opinion is that’s inappropriate,” said Spiers. “This is in flux, so why would we step into it?”

The former NDP candidate said Prime Minister Stephen Harper showed no leadership on the issue.

“They didn’t want to deal with it, so we end up with the mess we’ve got.”

He favours legalization.

“Education around drugs is the way to go,” he said. “Prohibition has never worked, and never can.”

And he said the dispensary model has proven to be an efficient

way to do it, with recreational distribution eventually folded into that system.

Skeptics notwithstanding, Spiers said there are sick people who rely on medicinal marijuana.

“These are people with AIDS and cancer and long-term illnesses who need medicine, and pot is the most benign thing going.”

He said dispensaries generally create no problems for local government, compared with bars, which “are always having police issues.”

Spiers said local authorities should “back off ” and “let the feds figure it out.”

23 years for human trafficking newsroom@mapleridgenews.com

A B.C. man convicted of trafficking underage girls in the sex trade, including one from Maple Ridge, has been handed a jail sentence of 23 years.

Reza Moazami’s sentence was three years longer than the prison term Crown had been seeking, and was handed down by Justice Catherine Bruce Tuesday in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.

The 30-year-old was convicted a year ago on 30 charges, including living off the avails of prostitution, sexual assault and sexual interference. His crimes involved 11 teens, some as young as 14, and he used physical and verbal abuse to force the girls into working as prostitutes. He also drugged and raped them.

A young girl from Maple Ridge was among his victims, and Diane

Sowden, the executive director of the Children of the Street Society, said no community is safe from this kind of exploitation. “It happens in every single community, especially now with technology,� said Sowden, who works for a nonprofit society which works to prevent the sexual exploitation of children in B.C. She said cases of sexual exploitation rarely go to trial, because fearful victims are often unwilling to give a statement. In the Moazami case, more victims came forward after he breached house arrest, and was taken into custody.

He was the first to be convicted of human trafficking in B.C. Moazami will be given five years credit for time served awaiting trail, leaving just under 18 year remaining on his sentence.

ICBC cuts credit lumps Black Press

ICBC no longer allows customers who are on monthly payment plans to make special lumpsum or early payments by credit card.

There were 55,000 such payments made last year – a small fraction of the 1.4 million customers on monthly payment plans.

Regular monthly payments have always been required to be by preauthorized debit from a bank account, but early payments in advance of the regular ones or lumpsum payments to end the monthly plan could be made by credit

card, said spokesman Adam Grossman.

The move to end that option effective Nov. 1 is expected to save ICBC up to $1 million a year in credit card merchant fees.

Monthly plan users can still make early or lumpsum payments by debit, cheque or cash. “We as a company have to look at any of the premium costs that we can remove,� Grossman said.

About 44 per cent of all motorists use an ICBC payment plan, while the rest pay their annual insurance all at once, many of them by credit card. That option is not affected by the change.

Mayor John Becker and Couns. Tracy Miyashita and Bill Dingwall supported the staff initiative.

“Staff are at capacity.

This is a huge undertaking. The clock is ticking fast,” said Miyashita. “We need somebody actively working on a plan – what is this going to look like, how many staff do we need, what programs are we going to offer?”

Miyashita, who previously served as a parks and recreation coordinator in Pitt Meadows, said there are people in the community who have already indicated they would serve on a steering committee, but someone is needed to manage the process.

Becker argued that ex-

inates her, Miller said she will let her name stand as a candidate for chief. The election would be held in February, and a new council will begin a new two-year term starting April 1.

After her first term, Miller said there is a steep learning curve for a chief.

“I’ve learned a lot. And one of the things I’ve learned is that there’s still a lot more to learn,” she

said.

In the present term, the Katzie opened a new $4.3 million community health centre, and have programming there six days per week – from preschool, to kids playing basketball in the gymnasium, to adult counselling.

They have also re-engaged a residency bylaw from 1988, which sets out the terms and conditions

for people living in their community. She said it is a tool that can be used to remove non-band member residents who are “unsavoury characters,” with the assistance of the RCMP. The band has also started opposition to a new quarry proposed for Sheridan Hill.

In the 2014 election, there were 260 eligible voters.

isting city hall staff lack the capacity to do the job, and it is not reasonable or desirable to have parks and rec staff doing an analysis of the job they have been doing.

“Sooner or later, we’re going to be spending this kind of money,” predicted Becker, adding that parks and rec is a multi-million dollar budget.

“I think it’s money well spent, and I think we need to spend it pretty damn quick,” said Becker.

The two sides also disagreed over whether Pitt Meadows council should see a confidential report presented by senior parks and rec staff to Maple Ridge council, which resulted in the decision to leave the partnership.

Councils are limited in what they can discuss in private – land transac-

tions, labour or personnel issues and legal matters.

Bell argued that some of the information Pitt Meadows is looking for may be found in that report.

It was the main issue for Stark, who said hiring of a consultant should be delayed until council sees that report.

“We haven’t seen the report from parks and leisure senior staff that went to Maple Ridge council, who had a closed meeting and voted for divorce,” said Stark. “I, for one, would like to see that report.

“We paid for 20 per cent of that report,” agreed Coun. Janis Elkerton, saying Pitt council should be entitled to review it.

Dingwall opposed asking for the report,

because of strained relations between the cities.

“To go now and demand closed documents from Maple Ridge that they had, in this environment, is again poking the bear,” said Dingwall.

The mayor agreed.

“I think it is highly unlikely that Maple Ridge will disgorge that report they received in camera,” said Becker. “Even if they were to do so – so what?

We may or may not agree with it, but they have made their decision,” he added.

“We need to get our act together, and move on.”

Jones spoke against any delay in hiring the consultant, saying that if council wants stakeholder and citizen engagement, the process needs to begin.

“This is going to take us right up to the 11th hour,” said Jones.

Although she expressed concerns about duplicating services, the cost of the consultant, and her desire to see the confidential report, Elkerton voted with Becker, Dingwall and Miyashita to hire the consultant.

Mayor Nicole Read refused to confirm that her council considered a report from recreation staff that has not been viewed

by Pitt Meadows.

“Anything we deal with in closed [meeting], is closed. I can’t discuss any details,” said Read.

She said the same confidentiality rules would apply if Pitt Meadows council requested information from a closed meeting.

Tuesday was a council committee meeting, which provides an opportunity to consider and debate matters that will be referred to regular meetings. The result is a recommendation from the council in committee, that is generally, but not always, adopted at the regular meeting. The next regular council meeting is Nov. 17.

Decision Friday on double fatal It was in October, five years ago when Debbie Dyer lost her daughter Beckie in a traffic accident not far from her Pitt Meadows home.

It was September 2013 when Dyer learned the driver of the vehicle involved in the crash was acquitted of dangerous driving causing death.

This Friday, Debbie Dyer learns if the Supreme Court of Canada will order a new trial or uphold the original acquittal of Andelina Kristina Hecimovic, who was charged after an Oct. 19, 2010 collision on Lougheed Highway at Harris Road, that claimed the lives of Rebecca ‘Beckie’ Dyer, 19, and her boyfriend, John-

ny De Oliveira, 21.

Debbie Dyer has followed the case through the courts, pressing for a new trial and a different decision.

During the accident, a Toyota driven by Hecimovic skidded sideways over a concrete median, flipped and landed on top of the couple’s Suzuki Swift. Hecimovic was driving in the rightturn-only lane when she crossed the intersection of Harris Road and Lougheed Highway on a red light. An expert estimated she hit the concrete median at a speed of between 100 or 110 km/h.

In the initial trial in September 2013, Justice Miriam Gropper ruled that Hecimovic was not trying to beat the red

light. Hecimovic told the court she was thinking about her shift and suddenly smelled something odd as she approached the intersection. When she looked at her scrubs she noticed vomit on her shirt and burst into tears.

She was trying to wipe the tears off her face and focus on the road when she realized she had run a red light.

Gropper found that Hecimovic’s behaviour was not a “marked departure from the norm” because many people speed along that stretch of Lougheed Highway.

The B.C. Appeal Court ordered a new trial last year after the Crown appealed.

Debbie Dyer said there has to be a conviction, otherwise the same ex-

cuse can be used in similar cases.

Just because many motorists drive that way doesn’t make it right, said Dyer.

“It’s the law. In this instance, it makes it sound like it’s OK to do that.

“Justice has to prevail at some point.”

• Dyer is marking the occasion of the fifth anniversary of her daughter’s death with a fundraiser, Nov. 25, 6 p.m., at Samz Pub, on the corner of Lougheed Highway and Harris Road, near the location of the accident.

It’s a fundraiser for Cythera Transition House at Christmas.

Dyer said her daughter would have supported women fleeing abusive relationships.

Man arrested after Pitt stabbing Ridge Meadows RCMP arrested a 23-year-old Maple Ridge man after a stabbing incident Tuesday.

At approximately 7 p.m., an altercation between two men took place in the area of the Pitt Meadows library on Harris Road.

Police believe the suspect stabbed another man during a fight, then ran off.

An extensive search by police, including the assistance of the Integrated Police Dog Services, led to the apprehension of the suspect.

He was arrested without incident in the 21500 block of Dewdney Trunk Road in Maple Ridge at approximately 9:30 p.m.

The 19-year-old victim was taken to hospital with what is believed to be non-life threatening injuries. “Ridge Meadows RCMP want to acknowledge the quick actions of a youth worker at the Pitt Meadows rec centre for her assistance in helping assist the victim with some first aid before B.C. Ambulance Service personnel arrived,” said Cpl. Brenda Winpenny.

“The accused is very well known to police.

Thankfully the injuries the victim suffered do not appear to be serious, and it is expected he will make a full recovery.” “”The accused remains in custody for a hearing later today.

• Anyone with information regarding this

incident is asked to call Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251.

Tire rim theft A 28-year-old man was arrested at a Maple Ridge tire shop a day after another theft.

Several aluminum tire rims were stolen from the shop Friday, Nov. 6.

The suspect was arrested about 3:30 a.m. the next day after breaking into a fenced compound at the business.

The lead investigator for the RCMP happened to be there at the time and saw the man leaving with two more tire rims.

The suspect is known to police.

▾ MYTH: Girls and women aren’t allowed to join gangs: Reality: Girls are joining gangs across Canada and there are many documented reports of them being extremely violent. Girls are often used to hold and/or transport drugs and/or guns because the girls and the gangsters don’t think that the police will stop the girl…they are wrong.

Brianna Kinnear’s mother, along with her daughter’s dog Ferdinand, sit on a memorial bench dedicated to her daughter’s brutal gang murder in 2009.

Brianna’s murder remains unsolved.

REAL ESTATE IN MAPLE RIDGE & PITT MEADOWS

Preparing your home for El Niño

By Kevin Gillies

I

t may be time to ensure your home is even more prepared for fall and winter than normal as just a casual perusal of newspapers, the Internet, and television broadcasts warn of expected winter storms.

The approaching winter could end up one of the warmest on record for Canada, as a whole, according to international weather experts, as a strong El Niño persists into the upcoming winter season.

Some scientists are predicting this winter’s El Niño will be the strongest since 1998 — when weather-related home damage claims skyrocketed along the West Coast of North America.

In September, the Globe and Mail newspaper quoted a University of Victoria professor as saying, “The ‘monster’ El Niño weather system expected to hit Canada’s West Coast later this fall and winter could lead to higher tides, flooding and erosion in low-lying coastal areas.”

In the article Ian Walker, a UVic geography professor, says, “Now this year is a pretty monster El Niño, probably the largest ever witnessed.”

El Niño is a natural, tropical, oceantemperature phenomenon, where warm water in the Pacific moves along the equator toward South America’s northern coast and then turns north, up as far as Alaska.

“As warm things expand, we see a higher water level, on the order of tens of centimetres, depending on where you are,” Walker says in the article. “So that’s superimposed on the tides and storms are then superimposed on top of that.”

So warm, wet storms can be expected in B.C.’s Lower Mainland over the next few months.

So how can homeowners prepare for El Niño?

• Drainage: Heavy storms can put extra strain on gutters and drainage systems.

Ensure early that your drainage systems — eaves-troughs, downpipes, and rock-drain beds — are cleared out and sturdy. They can expect to see a heavy workload during the next few months.

Ensure all fallen leaves and other debris have been cleared from your gutters and that the gutters themselves are solidly attached to the house.

El Niño is a natural, tropical, ocean-temperature phenomenon, where warm water in the Pacific moves along the equator toward South America’s northern coast and then turns north, up as far as Alaska.

Also, rake up any fallen leaves in your yard.

This will ensure that water will not back up, into your home, after a torrential downpour.

Rain gutters help avoid house exterior damage from water splashing up and prevents soil erosion.

Plus, when gutters over flow, water can wick up under roof shingles and cause damage to the roof sheeting. Water hitting the ground and splashing up on the house can stain stucco and paint, or start deteriorating wood siding.

Gutters should be inspected and cleaned every fall, after trees have dropped their leaves.

Perforated gutter guards can be installed to prevent leaves from accumulating and clogging gutters. Gutters can be cleaned by hand or with a leaf blower.

Wire strainers can be installed at the top of a downspout to prevent downspout clogging.

Water from the downspouts should be directed away from the house foundation.

And brackets that fasten gutters to the house should be inspected annually as well as the joints for leaks.

• Batten down: Any house accessory that strong winds can rip, tear, or pull away from the house should be taken down for the season.

Strong winds often accompany El Niño storms can cause a lot of damage to homes that aren’t adequately prepared for them.

Consider falling tall trees that are dying, weak or might be susceptible to strong winds.

Frequently in wet-and-windy winter storms, the damage caused by large trees falling on homes is

the greatest.

• Roofin’ it: Lastly, check your roof for worn or old shingles. Windy storms can tear weary roofing from a house and leave it susceptible to water damage.

If you suspect your roof needs repairs, and it’s more than you feel comfortable working on yourself, call a professional.

Many roofing companies will come and repair various roofing types to ensure they are safe for winter storms.

Lastly, stock up on hot chocolate, books, movies, and warm blankets so you can curl up on the couch with a warm drink and a good story.

You don’t want to have to venture out more than usual during story weather.

THE NEWS/sports MRSS brings back bronze from B.C.s Contact 604-467-1122 ext. 216 sports@mapleridgenews.com

B y T i m Fi t z g e r a l d sports@mapleridgenews.com

The torrentail downpour that soaked competitors at the Fraser Valley championships on Oct. 28 made an unwelcomed retun at the B.C. high school cross country finals, wreaking havoc on the course and chilling runners to the bone.

Despite the conditions, the MRSS junior boys were able to overcome the rain and cold to make school history, taking home its first-ever team bronze medal in Vancouver on Nov. 7.

MRSS head coach Ken Elphick said the race was more about survival and getting to the finish line in one piece than anything else.

“I think the day was really about guts,” said Elphick. “It was overcoming the conditions and being mentally and physically strong enough.

So much energy is spent on a day like that just keeping yourself warm.”

He said race officials had to adjust the course after each race because some of the corners were so tight, kids were constantly falling.

“They had to move the ropes so they could have fresh grass each time.”

In the end, the junior boys were able to persevere and make their way onto the podium.

The team was lead by Jorrin Lenton, who finished the 4,700-metre event in a time of 19:27.80, good for 11th overall in the team competition standings.

MRSS teammate Marshall Shupe finished just behind in 12th place with a time of 19:30.29. Nico Aron finished in 32nd, Nick Kerschbaum was 56th, Jack Sayerwas 57th and

Nolan Varga was 78th.

There were 23 teams in the event.

Elphick said the event gave the team a good sense of how far the runners have come, and how far they need to go to move up in the standings.

Overall standings are accumulated using the team’s placement of its top four runners.

Ridge’s top four runners were a combined 111th. R.E. Mountain was tops with 66, while Dover Bay was second with 70.

In the junior girls’ event, Ilse Rafter lead the way for MRSS with a time of 19:16.41, helping propel the team to sixth out of the 25-team event. Marquesis Haintz finished 26th, followed

by Brooke Parry in 34th, Emily Morley in 43rd, Bronte Elphick-Miner in 55th and Blythe Parry in 59th.

In senior girls, Jamie Hennessey continued her strong season, finishing seventh in team competition with a time of 18:35.72. The result helped lead the team to 13th out of 24 teams.

In senior boys, Alex Ross was the top Ridge runner, finishing the 6,300-metre course in a time of 27:19.56. The boys finished 17th out of 28 teams.

Noteables • Graeme Roberts of Westview finished eighth overall in the indiviual junior boys’ division, with a time of 18:47. There were 210 runners.

• Madelyn Huston of Thomas Haney was 11th in senior girls with a time of 18:28. There were 218 runners.

• Liam Foster of Pitt Meadows was 52nd in senior boys with a time of 27:08. There were 240 racers.

Medal haul for taekwondo club sports@mapleridgenews.com

The Taegeuk Taekwondo club took its show on the road and came home with 10 medals, including six gold at the Pan American Taekwondo Club Championships in Portland on Nov. 7.

Club coach Michell Ge said the team built momentum from the opening match as black belt Arianna Caredda defeated a long-

time rival from Washington in the 30-kilogram division.

“They have fought together countless times and loss after loss, it never deterred Arianna’s fighting spirit,” said Ge. Caredda won the match 10-0 and went on to set up the team spirit and the momentum for the rest of the day, said Ge. Caredda went on to win gold.

Joining her on top of the podium was Talia Clarke in the black belt

47kg division, along with Rodrigo Herrera at 53 kg, Santiago Herrera in the junior boys’ 63-kg division, and Ashlyn Arnold in the junior girls’ 63-kg division.

Black belt Kyler Arnold took home silver in the 45-kg cadet boys’ division, while Malakai Ayi-Bonte won bronze in junior boys’ 63-kg, along with Drew Clarke in youth boys’ 30-kg and Jacob Badalucco in the youth boys’ 35-kg division.

The Ridge Meadow Flames continue to climb in the standings after strolling into the Ladner Leisure Centre and knocking off the Delta Ice Hawks 4-1 on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

The Flames, a team that usually gives up more shots than it gets, reversed that trend, taking the game to the Ice Hawks, firing 49 shots on net, including 19 in the opening frame.

The Flames Jake Holland opened the scoring on the powerplay midway through the first period. Dale Howell and Nolan Ferguson picked up helpers. Holland leads the Flames in scoring this year, with 10 goals and nine assists.

Despite being outplayed, the Ice Hawks tied the game with just under three minutes left in the first, The Flames capitalized on the powerplay again with 1:53 left in the second period thanks to a goal from 6’5’’, 235-pound forward Bradley Crompton, with assists going to Holland and Jacob Cronin.

Ridge scored with just 20 seconds left in the middle frame to jump ahead 3-1 when Nicholas Maydaniuk buried a feed from Holland and Howell.

Crompton rounded out the scoring with his second of the game with just under two minutes left in the third.

Flames netminder Jake Hollett was named the game’s first star.

Howell was named second star, while Crompton made it a clean sweep taking the third star honours.

The win improved the Flames record to seven wins and eight losses, with one tie and two overtime defeats.

The team opened the season with a 5-4 overtime win over the Ice Hawks, then lost three straight, including a 10-2 drubbing at the hands of the Port Moody Panthers.

However, the team’s fortunes turned when they picked up Regina Pats’ prospect Hollett.

At 6’5� and 185 pounds, the 16-year-old was the Regina Pats first pick in the 2014 bantam drafter, going 13th overall.

Crompton is also making his presence on the score sheet felt this year. The hulking forward is second in team scoring with six goals and nine assists.

The Flames sit fourth in the Harold Brittain conference standings with 17, just one point back of Aldergrove. Mission leads the division and the league with 33, with Abbotsford in second with 25. • The Flames are on the road to take on the Abbotsford Pilots on Friday, Nov. 13.

Thunder roll over Mustangs

sports@mapleridgenews.com

The Thomas Haney Thunder continue to rollover the opposition in the Grade 8/9 boys’ soccer playoffs.

The Thunder defeated the L.A. Matheson Mustangs 6-2 in Fraser Valley quarterfinal action on Nov. 9.

The Thunder trailed early before tying the score late in the first half.

The second half was a different story, with the Thunder erupting for five goals to bury any hopes the Mustangs had of an upset.

Marcus Tjernagel led the way with the hat-trick for the Thunder, while Ivica Fiegalstock had two goales and Kai Vockeroth had one.

The Thunder remain undefeated on the season.

Thunder head coach Glenn Urquhart said his team showed great poise after a tight first half. “The defence played another solid game, minimizing the opposition’s chances.� said Urquhart. “Nick Stroud played excellent in goal, making a number of saves and only allowing two goals on point-blank shots.�
