Coroner still checking on inmate’s death Victor Crane may have been in Fraser Regional cell for three days by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter

Shane MacKichan contributor

Maple Ridge firefighters battle flames in old house on the corner of 223rd Street and 117th Avenue, in Port Haney early Thursday.

The B.C. Coroner’s Service has yet to decide whether to call an inquest into the death of an inmate, three months ago at a Maple Ridge men’s prison. An autopsy conducted on Victor Francis Crane has failed to reveal what killed him, although Ridge Meadows RCMP rule out foul play. Crane was found unresponsive in his cell just before 9 p.m., May 20 at the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre, where he was serving a 75-day sentence. See Inmate, p5

Katzie First Nation volunteer Ashley Adams and Cliff Olson, with ARMS, records some data near Katzie Slough, near Golden Ears Bridge.

No nominations yet for this area for party by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter

Colleen Flanagan/ THE NEWS

Students reviving Katzie waterway by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter

efore the excavators and dumptrucks came, before the townhomes and concrete and asphalt, there was water, and there was life. “Before all this,” says Ashley Adams, a member of the Katzie First Nation, sweeping her arm in the direction of the subdivisions on Airport Way in Pitt Meadows and the grey approaches to the Golden Ears Bridge, “You could paddle from the Fraser River to Pitt Lake on the Katzie Slough.” With the construction of the bridge and suburban sprawl encroaching from all sides, a small algae-covered manmade pond named Blind Channel is all that remains. “This used to be swamp, and this was where we used to hunt,” says Adams. “It used to be full of ducks and coyotes and salmon.” If everything goes according to plan, it will be once again. Blind Channel was completed last November by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure

to compensate for fish habitat destroyed elsewhere by the construction of the Golden Ears Bridge. Adams, 22, is one of the Katzie youth taking part in a program to learn how to manage the pond, and to ensure that wildlife returns. The program is operated by the Alouette River Management Society, and funded through the Pacific Salmon Foundation. “The idea is to get the community involved,” says Greta BorickCunningham, the acting executive director with ARMS. “This is traditional Katzie area, and they have the local knowledge.” The Katzie volunteers will serve as the eyes and ears of the community, to ensure Blind Channel rebounds, and that nature returns to the site. Paul James, of the Katzie Development Corporation, says the partnership allows the Katzie First Nation to take control over the future of at least one small part of their traditional territory. Just as important, he is hoping for job opportunities for some of young people taking part in the program. “We’re hoping the training opens up new doors for them,” says James. “They’re developing skills, and that builds confidence, and gives them opportunities.” Thanks to the experience she has gained through the partnership,

“The training is pretty awesome. It sure beats being stuck in an office all day.” Ashley Adams, Katzie First Nation Adams says she hopes to pursue a career in environmental sciences. “The training is pretty awesome,” says Adams. “It sure beats being stuck in an office all day.” On this summer’s day, Adams is joined by Borick-Cunningham and trainer ZoAnn Morten, and other volunteers, as they catalogue, sample, and map the pond’s flora under the sweltering sun. Using a digital camera, they hope to document the growth of the many plant species planted around the pond. Adams has no trouble working the digital camera, and like many young people, she is comfortable with most things high-tech. “All the kids are very confident with the technology,” says Morten. “They just need to learn how to apply it.” Adams takes a photo of a small shrub for their records. Like many of the trees planted around the pond, it is slowly being strangled by wild grasses and clover. “There’s a great variety here, but

some [species] are doing better than others,” says Morten. Less than a year into the ﬁveyear project to bring life back to this small section of the Katzie Slough, and Blind Channel is in rough shape. Problem is, the pond is being choked. Algae has covered most of the surface of the pond and clogged the shallower portions, trapping water in the pond. A cycling path built to skirt around the pond is a popular route for joggers and cyclists, but its construction has resulted in the compression of the soil underneath, reducing the amount of groundwater ﬂowing into the pond, Morten believes. The cedars and pines are already dying, just 10 months after they were planted. The clay-rich soil dredged from the bottom of the pond in which they were planted isn’t helping matters, either. “The ground is so dry, it’s not holding any water,” says Morten. “But at the beginning you don’t expect much.” It’s a manmade ecosystem, she points out, and playing with Mother Nature can yield mixed results, especially with something so complex. “We want it to be back to normal just like that,” Morten says. “But it doesn’t work like that. It takes time.” See Slough, p5

The B.C. Conservative Party is facing a deluge of potential candidates vying to represent the ﬂedgling party in the provincial election this spring, with the ﬁrst round of nominees could be named as soon as next month, according Shannon Kewley, co-chair of the Conservatives’ newly-formed candidate recruitment committee. “We’ve been inundated with interest from nominees,” she said. “Doctors, lawyers, teachers, business people … we’ve been quite overwhelmed by the quality of candidates.” Howeve r , t h a t hasn’t been the case locally. Wendy Cook is the

Cook vice-president of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows constituency association, and said the local riding has yet to receive any nominations to run under the B.C. Conservative Party banner. The Maple Ridge-Mission riding is still without a Conservative Party constituency association. Cook said summer is typically a difﬁcult time to get people interested in politics, but she hopes that will change as the 2013 election nears. “It’s hard stirring people up this time of year.” Despite the lack of interest locally, Kewley said the party should have no trouble ﬁelding candidates in all 85 electoral ridings in time for the spring election.

Car Care ‘Someone … just burned my life down’ with Cyril Barry

THE OIL CHANGE.... Way back when our parents were driving those old rear wheel drive, chromed trimmed beauties, a vehicle owner would take their ride to the local gas station for its regular oil change and check up. The mechanic would take the car out for a test drive to check the brakes, suspension, tune, wipers, lights, heater etc. The car would then be put up on the hoist and drained of the old oil, this is where the real work began as mechanic would systematically check the front suspension and steering components including all five tires. Yes, cars would have a full sized spare which would have to be rotated into service in order to maximize tire mileage and value. He would then proceed to check the brakes, drive-line, exhaust and suspension, during these inspections anything that needed adjustments were normally taken care of as he was already there so it did not cost much more to service whatever needed it. After completing all under car work the vehicle would be lowered back down to ground level where the oil would be refilled and all other fluid levels checked for condition and level. This would be followed by a inspection of all under hood components that completed the entire car inspection, anything that was not up to snuff was reported to the owner for their immediate attention. Nowadays most people consider an oil change something that is a 15 minute drive thru service, one that can be entrusted to youngsters barely out of high school with little to no mechanical repair experience, earning at best minimum wage. Do you actually think that kids working at a drive thru quick oil change facility have the knowledge or expertise to determine if your car needs a fuel injection service, coolant or radiator flush? The answer to that question is quite obvious so I will not elaborate the point but you must admit that it does give you something to think about. The point to this article is that the basic engine oil change is the most important and least costly service that all vehicles require on a very regular basis. This service is also the opportunity for your vehicle to be inspected by a certified auto technician to make sure all is well and to catch little things before they turn into big or costly repairs. Your vehicle is comprised of a number of sub systems such as brakes, exhaust, coolant, engine, drive-line, front end and suspension, electronic engine-transmissionbrakes-safety systems. All of these systems interact with each other and it takes a great deal of skill, experience, training and sophisticated equipment and computer generated data to keep everything in order. To trust this to anyone other than a certified auto technician, yes we do oil changes and safety inspections everyday, is a gamble. Do you want to gamble with your expensive vehicle and the safety of your family? If you said no, give us a call.

Fire from Front Reece Dowdy and his wife lost one dog and two cats in the fire. “Everything can be replaced but the only thing that pisses me off is I lost my animals and [my wife’s] wedding ring,” said Dowdy, while he stood in his pyjamas in a circle with his neighbours, outside the charred carcass of their home. “My poor dog what am I going to do without her? “Someone came along and just burned my life down.” The Maple Ridge Fire Department and Ridge Meadows RCMP are investigating the fire and treating it as “suspicious” but are not ready to call it an arson, just yet. A few weeks ago, a car was set on fire inside a carport adjacent to the property where Thursday’s blaze started. “There is no reason at this point to link the two but we are looking into that possibility,” said fire chief Peter Grootendorst. The fire department tore down both homes on Thursday because

fire was still smouldering in the debris. “It was too dangerous to send the firefighters in there. So we are going to have an excavator come down and tear it apart to extinguish it,” Grootendorst said. He called the occupants of both homes “lucky.” Some of them did not have working smoke detectors. “That certainly is a dangerous situation to be in,” Grootendorst added. “They are very, very

fortunate. One man woke up when he smelled smoke. Usually that doesn’t happen, usually it’s too late.” None of the tenants have renter’s insurance. The district’s emergency social service will house them for a few days in hotels. • Anyone with information can call 604-4636251 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Morale low: union B.C. Conservatives reviewing 50 nominees Imate from Front The 33-year-old was handed the sentence May 2 after pleading guilty to one count of assault and two breaches in Vernon. He died 18 days later. A corrections ofﬁcer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Crane may have lain in his cell for three days before he was found. His death and the investigation that followed it have affected staff at the prison on 256th Street, added the guard. “Morale at is at an alltime low,” according to the guard. The coroner’s service is waiting for a pathology report before it makes a decision on calling an inquest. “We are not quite sure what the classiﬁcation of his death will be,” said spokesperson Barbara McLintock. “He may or may not have been left in his cell for three days.That would be decided at the coroner’s inquest – if we decide to go that route.” B.C. Corrections conducted a “critical incident review” following Crane’s death that seeks to examine the circumstances surrounding it, including the inmate’s history and possible causes. Corrections spokesperson Cindy Rose said the reviews, where appropriate, make recommendations to reduce the likelihood of a similar incident. “This death is a tragedy and our heartfelt condolences go out to this inmate’s family and friends,” Rose added. “B.C. Corrections takes the death of an in-

mate in its custody very seriously. The RCMP was immediately notiﬁed of this death and continues to investigate the incident, along with the B.C. Coroners Service. Given that these investigations are ongoing, it would be inappropriate for B.C. Corrections to release any additional information at this time.” The union that represents prison guards at Fraser regional is also waiting for the results of the investigations and would not comment on Crane’s death. But Dean Purdy, chair of corrections and sheriff services with the B.C. Government Employees Union, echoed complaints about morale being low at the prison. “A good part of it has to do with overcrowded conditions and also wages,” said Purdy. The inmate count at Fraser regional was 485 on the day Crane died. Purdy points out the prison in Maple Ridge was built in 1990 to house 264 inmates – one per cell. Drug use amongst inmates is another concern. The BCGEU’s 25,000 members have been without a contract since March. Talks with the government stalled in June after the union rejected the two-year pay increase on offer. Purdy says the government’s offer of a 3.5-per-cent pay raise over two years is not enough. The government’s offer would see a person earning $48,000 get a pay increase of $1,700 over two years, “We are $17,000 below our federal counterparts,” he added.

Conservatives from p3 “Both the number and calibre of potential candidates is proving to be a surprise–- and a very pleasant one at that,” said Conservative Party leader John Cummins in a release on Friday. “Given the growing interest and the volume of calls from prospective candidates and their supporters, we’ve decided to speed up the nomi-

that has people interested,” she said. Liberal Party leader Christy Clark’s sagging popularity has also resulted in former Liberal voters moving to the Conservatives’ camp, she added. Kewley said the Conservatives are looking for candidates who are “positive, energetic, and [are] passionate about making a positive change.”

f there’s ever a case where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure it’s the attempt to rid Metro Van of Japanese knotweed. This invasive plant is so destructive its roots can bore through concrete foundations of bridges, homes and buildings. It can ruin roads, parks and sidewalks. Homeowners unaware of the threat, could see their investments ruined. Which is why the efforts of the Invasive Species Council of Metro Vancouver must be supported at the local level. The council is trying to keep the weed in check by targeting stands of knotweed in Maple Ridge, one of the most affected areas. For Joe Homeowner, the advice on removing the plant should be heeded. Cutting down the plant or trying to dig it out is futile and only makes things worse. To kill the plant, the herbicide glyphosate, the ingredient in Round-Up, must be injected into the stem. Smaller plants require targeted spraying. Metro Vancouver should quickly give the council $40,000 so it can develop a regional strategy to combat knotweed. Also needed, as pointed out by Coun. Cheryl Ashlie, is education. Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows have to launch an awareness campaign, now, so everyone knows about this threat. It’s an ounce of cheap prevention. – The News Tell us what you think @ www.mapleridgenews.com

Prices rising, time to grow our own In the 1930s, big U.S. power companies ignored rural communities because running lines to them wasn’t profitable. Nine out of 10 Americans went without electric light until President Roosevelt stepped up to the plate for ordinary Along the Fraser folk. Jack Emberly His Rural Electrification Act (1936) allowed cooperatives to borrow cash for their own infrastructures. The U.S. National Cooperative Grocers Association notes that lives were instantly transformed and vastly improved. Today, co-ops account for 42 per cent of power distribution in the States. A co-op business, owned and operated by members to address their specific needs and lifestyle, “is all about bringing people together and connecting in valuable ways,” says Kim Lauzon of Maple Ridge. Lauzon is enrolled in SFU’s Sustainable Community Development Program. In a co-op, she says, “there’s a feeling of responsibility for others, of caring for them, and for the community as a whole.” The idea of neighbours collaborating for mutual benefit, and the community building that results from that, is something we’ve heard before from Gerry Pinel, chair of the Golden Ears Transition Initiative. Lauzon also heads a working group that is part of GETI. The group hopes to help build Maple

Ridge and Pitt Meadows by starting a food co-op. It’s a timely idea. Food security is increasingly at risk. This year, droughts have wiped out corn production in twothirds of the U.S. Constant increases in transportation costs erode family buying power. Those giant carrots from China you see in local markets could be too pricey before long. The quality and safety of food is also a concern. Some blueberry growers advertise, “no spray” but is that always true? Some folks like to visit the guy who grows his vegetables to check out the growing practices “A co-op would increase the availability of local, sustainable, and nutritional food and household products,” says Lauzon. Most of that would be natural or organic. Co-ops pioneered the organic food industry according to the U.S. National Cooperative Grocers Association. It says organic produce sold in food co-ops now averages 82 per cent – compared to 12 per cent for conventional grocers. Food co-ops are good citizens, too. Among grocers, they continue to lead the way in sustainable, socially responsible business practice. According to the U.S. National Cooperative Grocers Association, food co-ops work with more local farmers, pay employees more and provide greater health beneﬁts. They return more money to local economies, and give three times as much to local charities. Co-ops are also models of recycling. The Grocers say they average 96 per cent for cardboard, 74 per cent for food waste, and 81 per cent for plastics – well beyond anything claimed by conventional grocery stores. Facts like these sustain Lauzon as

she begins her quest for a co-op but she knows the road ahead is fraught with twists and turns. Still, Lauzon’s taken the first steps. She’s formed a co-op steering committee to bring business and other skills to play. Lauzon has some of those skills herself. At SFU, she studied leadership, sustainable development, and food systems. Course work in grant writing will help finance a feasibility study. In October, Lauzon plans to survey folks in Maple Ridge to assess public support for a food co-op. She thinks the event – a questionnaire mixed with local entertainment – will take place at a local pub, but doesn’t have a specific location or date as yet. If the results of her research are positive, the committee will determine its next move. Lauzon says there’s a lot to learn – licencing and regulations, regular suppliers, food and product sources to firm up, the location of the distribution centre, and everything else that’s involved in the day-to-day operation of a business. At this time, Lauzon isn’t even sure what the co-op would look like. Ultimately, it might resemble her favourite co-op in Bellingham. “It looks like a grocery store – local meats, dairy products, produce, reusable bags, products for sustainable living. There are bulletin boards, a display of children’s art work and crafts, local, handmade goods, locally grown and sustainably sourced foods and cleaning products.” The differences, says Lauzon, are not seen, as much as experienced. “People greet you like a neighbour.

THE NEWS/letters Cyclist peeved at car Tired of hearing about cutting him off ‘rich’ public pensions EDITOR, THE NEWS:

This is an open letter to the driver of the Honda Civic, who nearly ran me over on Golden Ears Way Monday morning during my cycle commute to work. It’s clear you’re new at this driving thing, but seriously… did you not learn a single thing before being granted the privilege of driving? What made you think you could safely make a right turn on to 210th Street from the left lane of Golden Ears Way when there was another vehicle (me, on my bike) in the right lane?

Not just shopping, you’re connecting with others Co-ops from p6 “Many times, someone might call you by name. They might start a conversation about the farm up the road where the milk came from. It’s like the hub of a community. “People come together, discover common interests. Sometimes, there are workshops. You have conversations with people about vitamins, life in general. You lose a sense of time because you weren’t just shopping, and checking the list of things you had to do that day, you were experiencing a sense of connection with others. Because of what happens in a co-op, and what it does, I always feel I’m doing something good when I shop there,” says Lauzon. “I ﬁnd it hard to leave the store.”

EDITOR, THE NEWS:

I am so sick and tired of articles and letters that go on and on about the extravagant pensions of public workers, because it is just not true. After 2001, my meagre public employee medical severance pension was chopped. I had free medical and dental for my entire life, but after 2001 everything changed. Every year promised beneﬁts have been cut and deductibles increased.

This year, I have been hit with a further $768 for Medical Service Plan premiums, which is a lot when your whole pension is less than $300 a month. The public pension plan used to pay that. Now it doesn’t and the beneﬁts of our health care plan are now an unbelievable $500 a year. Well excuse me but I have ﬁbromyalgia and that does not get me through January and now the income tax will not even let me write off my medical expenses.

What I get for that money is I have been waiting a year for a hernia operation and what I have been told is, it will be closer to two years before I get it or I end up in emergency, whatever comes ﬁrst. Anyone like to guess which will cost more money? So stop with the public service pension bashing. We now have a worse plan than pretty well anybody. So is everybody happy now – except probably us retired public employees who

apparently worked for a thankless employer. I signed a medical severance pension contract in good faith and now have a document that is not worth the paper it is written on. Government employees, you are working for people who hate you. You know where all the skeletons are buried. Please help us get rid of this government that only cares about themselves and their rich friends. WAYNE CLARK MAPLE RIDGE

Another story about a beloved pit bull EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Let me tell you about a vicious American pit bull terrier. About eight years ago, I was contacted by a friend who ran a rescue operation in Toronto, Ont. They had a female American pit bull terrier about six years old who needed to be placed in foster care. She had been surrendered to the group by a man who had been seen by neighbours abusing the dog. When confronted, he told the neighbours “take the useless thing.” She went to the vet where she was diagnosed as suffering from broken ribs, kicked in teeth along with cigarette burns to her neck and body. She was malnourished and dehydrated. This was nothing compared to the damage done to her beautiful spirit. She was hand shy and nervous. It would be a week before we could go and pick up our new foster girl. In that week, she became a hero in her new neighbourhood. While on a leashed walk, she saved her caregiver

ﬂed empty handed. The next day, we went to pick her up. She was the saddest little dog I have ever seen. She had a little brown and white body dotted with an-

She wagged her tail so hard when she met us her whole bum wiggled. There was no question she was going to be a part of our family. That day she was give the name Kayenne. After many months her body healed and the light in her soul relit. Kayenne never once held the fact that humans caused her years of suffering against anyone. Kayenne adopted us, she loved us unconditionally, watched over us like a mother hen, being silly when we needed to laugh, cuddling us when we cried, helping us up when life knocked us down. We were gifted with her for eight years. Kayenne was not our family pet, she was our family. We will never live without an American pit bull terrier. LISA TRAINA MAPLE RIDGE

Re: Need for more gluten free, The News, Aug. 17. It is certainly easy to be frustrated with this glutenfree diet and yes this market is growing rapidly. You note that the website theceliacscence.com only lists restaurants in Maple Ridge that cater to glutenfree diet and yes there are

others that are accommodating as you state. Someone needs to ensure that a restaurant and serving staff are knowledgeable and abiding with Canadian standards of glutenfree food and preparation and service. This information must then be forwarded to the website of choice.

Are you aware that in Maple Ridge a support group for celiac and gluten sensitivity has been formed? No fee is asked for. The object is to provide information on new and old glutenfree food products, availability of food items, share ideas and tips. This group is lead by Canadian Celiac Association

volunteers using the guidelines of the association to ensure validity and accuracy of information provided. For information or to contact the group, which meets on the third Wednesday of every month at 22336 Dewdney Trunk Road, contact: info@vancouverceliac.ca. LINDA ARNOLD MAPLE RIDGE

Ridge museum still bursting at seams History stored in shipping containers by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter There’s thousands of stories held within the brick walls of the Maple Ridge Museum and Community Archives. The problem is, no one can get at them. The local museum is jam-packed with artifacts, photos, and documents chronicling the long history of the District of Maple Ridge. But with every spare square inch being used to warehouse items, there is little room left for displays or community access, says director Val Patenaude. “It would be wonderful if we could provide the community with access,” she said. “As it is, we can’t provide anything. We have the archives, but no one can see them.” The museum has even had to resort to storing many of its artifacts away in shipping containers, and a pair of storage lockers. On Wednesday, vol-

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Summer students Elena VanBuschbach, and Kaity Neff, both 16 prepare items for a move to a new storage facility from the Maple Ridge Museum on Wednesday. unteers helped to pack away items into a garage-sized storage locker, newly acquired by the museum, where they will sit under lock and key hidden away from public eyes. Items like crosscut saws from Maple Ridge’s early logging days, the neon sign that used to hang in front of Wanstall’s gun shop on Lougheed Highway, and the sign for the old Albion Hall. As it is, the museum’s attic is stuffed full of ﬁling cabinets crammed with historical docu-

ments and photographs, as is Patenaude’s own office. “We live in constant fear one of those filing cabinets is going to fall right through the floor on top of us,” says Patenaude with a chuckle. But no more than five people are allowed upstairs at a time. “This building was designed to be a home, not a museum,” said Patenaude of the historic Port Haney Brick Company house, built in 1910 for the company’s manager, Harold Burnet. “I don’t even want to

think about what would happen if there was an earthquake.” Thanks to the new storage space, and a $3,500 grant from the Meadow Ridge Rotary Club for new shelving, there’s at least room to move around in the adjoining brickyard ofﬁce. The Maple Ridge Historical Society began collecting artifacts close to 60 years ago, and just because they are running out of space, doesn’t mean they can stop chronicling Maple Ridge’s history.

cost $7 million at the time, with the price tag expected to rise by 15 per cent every year. Heritage commission chair and former Maple Ridge Coun. Craig Speirs believes the project should be a top priority for the District of Maple Ridge. â€œItâ€™s getting ridiculous,â€? he said. â€œI personally know of three or four families that are holding on to things theyâ€™d like to give to the museum, but thereâ€™s no place to put them.â€? The museum would not only allow the historical society to properly celebrate Maple Ridgeâ€™s long history, but it could be an economic driver in the ongoing revitalization of Maple Ridgeâ€™s downtown. â€œItâ€™s a key piece for the Port Haney area,â€? said Speirs. â€œThere would be a real benefit for residential and commercial development that happening [in the area] to have the museum there.â€? The next step, he says, is for the Dis-

Museum from p8 â€œBasically anything thatâ€™s too big to put on a shelf weâ€™ve had to put into storage,â€? said museum curator Allison White. â€œBut the public canâ€™t see them there. We need a bigger facility to showcase them.â€? However, sometimes the museum does have to turn away donations of artifacts due to lack of space. â€œWe are the communityâ€™s memory bank,â€? said Patenaude. â€œThat doesnâ€™t stop just because we run out of room.â€? While a plan for a new museum was first floated nearly a decade ago, the project has stalled. â€œWe did a Phase 1 concept plan 10 years ago, and since then, nothing,â€? said Patenaude. The proposed new museum would be situated alongside the historic Haney House overlooking the Fraser River. A preliminary design was created in 2005 and was projected to

trict of Maple Ridge to spend the money to update the nearly decade-old plan, and start looking at ways to fund it. With no major capital projects on the horizon, the museum should be the districtâ€™s next project. Putting money aside for the project now will also allow the district to take advantage of matching-fund grant opportunities, should they present themselves. â€œWe need to be prepared for â€Ś when senior levels of government want to get involved,â€? he said. Parks and leisure services general manager Kelly Swfit said she is not aware of any current plans to update the museum plan. She estimated the cost now for a new museum would likely be in excess of $10 million. â€œFor any project thereâ€™s always competing priorities,â€? she said. â€œIt may not be an arts centre, or recreation facility, it may be an infrastructure project that is needed.â€?

Supt. Dave Walsh said officers are out patrolling in the community, looking for smart young people to give them a reward card. Last year, a man got one for pulling over to use his cell

Even if the District of Maple Ridge were able to find the funds to build the new museum, the real concern would be operating costs. â€œOver the life of the museum, operating costs would be more than cost to build it,â€? said Swift. White said that a museum the size of the one being proposed would likely require eight staff staff members. Currently, the Maple Ridge Historical Society, which is funded by the District, has just two full-time employees. Both Spiers and Patenaude agree that if the people of Maple Ridge want their new museum, theyâ€™ll have to let their local politicians know. â€œWithout the support from the public, itâ€™s not going to happen,â€? said Patenaude. â€˘ The Maple Ridge Museum is offering 50 per cent off memberships for the rest of the year.

Missing girls thank police who found them Ridge Meadows RCMP got two colourful handwritten “thank you” notes on Wednesday from a pair of young girls who were reported missing last week. The girls were found a short while after they were reported missing to police last Friday.

Supt. Dave Walsh said Alicia and Alyx were fine and “just taking a walk.” The girls expressed their thanks to Const. Lewis Walker and Sgt. Parm Prihar who responded to the call. Alyx wrote she was sorry for “going in the trail without telling Tresa

and going with strangers! You have a hard job.” Her friend Alicia was sorry she frightened her mom and thanked the Mounties for keeping Maple Ridge safe. • To see the thank you notes, visit mapleridgenews.com.

New CAO for MetroV Metro Vancouver has a new top bureaucrat after a four-month search. The regional district has picked Carol Mason, currently chief administrative officer of the Nanaimo Regional District, to take over as CAO in September. She replaces veteran Metro Vancouver CAO Johnny Carline, who retired in February. The CAO is paid $270,000 a year, reports to the Metro board of directors and leads 1,500 employees in providing regional services such as water, sewage, solid waste management and regional parks. Mason, who has held senior municipal management positions in Nanaimo, holds an MBA from UBC and a senior certificate in municipal administration. Metro vice-chair Raymond Louie said she was picked from a field of highly qualified applicants after a rigorous recruitment process and cited Mason’s record of finding solutions to complex issues involving a wide range of stakeholders.

B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham is warning both the provincial government and private sector employers are making too much use of criminal record checks. She issued an investigation report recommending the province limit its use of checks, which are used to vet prospective employees and re-screen some existing staff. â€œIâ€™m concerned about the societal trend towards increased employment-related records checks without clear evidence as to their beneďŹ t in safeguarding the workplace,â€? Denham said. Record checks are important tools in hiring staff who will work with vulnerable adults or children or wield great spending or data-access powers, she said.

Exec. pay soars at ICBC ‘Financial discipline lacking:’’ audit

ICBC had 13 top managers paid more than $200,000 a year in 2007, but that more than quadrupled to 54 by 2011. The report also noted there are more than 1,291 other managers and employees earning $75,000 to $200,000 – up 52 per cent from 848 in that bracket in 2007. Despite a 2011 policy change denying bonuses if ICBC profits fail to top $35 million, more than 85 per cent of management still got at least three-quarters of their eligible bonus that year. The review said the profit target for allowing bonuses is “unreasonably low” because ICBC hasn’t earned less than $140 million in the past five years. It also detailed signing bonuses of up to $40,000 to attract new staff and annual allowances for cars and other spending of about

by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter ICBC president Jon Schubert will step down and the public auto insurer is pledging reforms after a provincial audit found executive pay had soared too high. The ﬁnance ministry review found ICBC was “not aligned” with the province’s cost-containment priorities and recommended ICBC reduce the number of managers and their pay to levels more consistent with what existed in 2008. “A culture of costcontainment and ﬁnancial discipline has been lacking in recent years,” it said, adding expense policies were “generous.”

the basic coverage increase, and overall auto insurance increases have averaged 0.8 per cent a year the last decade. It competes with private insurers on optional coverage but has a monopoly on basic rates. BC Conservative leader John Cummins accused the Liberals of “profound managerial incompetence” in allowing ICBC executive pay to escalate unchecked for years. The review makes little mention of the government’s policy of withdrawing a “dividend” from the Crown corporation to help balance B.C.’s budget. ICBC increased its reserves from $314 million in 2002 to $3.8 billion in 2010, after which the province ordered it to hand over surplus cash from the optional side – $576 million in 2010 and $101 million in 2011.

Cross-border shopping surge ‘small’ HST bigger factor than duty free by J eff Nagel Black Press Cross-border shopping by bargain-hunting Canadians got a new lift in recent months with higher duty-free limits for overnight trips introduced in June.

People line up to save money buying gas and groceries. creased ﬂow of B.C. residents heading south this summer was relatively modest. He was reacting to

new Statistics Canada data showing a 7.5 per-cent jump in overnight travel to the U.S. in June.

“There’s been an increase since June but not nearly so much as other places,” Opplinger said. “It’s pretty small here.” Bellingham had already been experiencing heavy flows of Lower Mainland shoppers coming south for some time, he said, thanks to a combination of B.C.’s introduction of the harmonized sales tax in 2010 and the rise to parity of the Canadian dollar. “We’ve certainly had substantial increases for a little over two years since the HST first hit,” Opplinger said. “It’s certainly the highest we’ve seen since the early 1990s.” Canada Border Services Agency staff have also been “much more lax” in checking returning Canadians and enforcing duty payments, he added. Another draw continues to be the sometimes wide differential between prices retailers charge in Canada compared to stores in the U.S. Opplinger said his office is still working to defuse friction after some Bellingham locals accused deal-crazed Canadians of being impolite or pushy and set up a Facebook page demanding the local Costco serve only Americans at certain hours. “We’re still getting emails from Canadians saying ‘Now that I know what you really think I don’t want to come and shop there anymore.’” He described it as a small number of people not comporting themselves appropriately, but added the vast majority of Bellingham residents have friends and family from Canada and clearly understand the economic benefit from B.C. visitors. On June 1, duty-free exemptions for Canadians returning home rose from $50 to $200 for a 24-hour stay and from $200 to $800 for stays of at least 48 hours. Mark Startup, president and CEO of Shelfspace, said it’s difficult to say if cross-border shopping has cost B.C. retailers more sales in recent months. Retailers here have continued to report climbing sales. The overnight dutyfree changes should not have affected day trippers, Startup said. He doubts most shoppers would save enough to justify an overnight stay and the time committed to qualify for the bigger limits.

ICBC Personal Injury ROBERT GUNNELL BLACK PRESS

New 10-lane Port Mann Bridge opens soon, but you’ll pay to cross it, just like the Golden Ears Bridge.

Have you been injured in a car accident?

Port Mann Bridge opens in Sept.? Some lanes could be operating by this fall by Jef f Nage l Black Press Motorists may be driving over part of the new Port Mann Bridge as early as September. Tolls won’t be charged until the bridge formally opens with eight out of 10 lanes operational in December. But Port Mann/Highway 1 Project spokesman Max Logan said some traffic will begin using at least a couple of lanes sometime this fall. Shifting some traffic on to the new bridge will help with construction staging as crews still have extensive work ahead of them in the months ahead, notably in completing new overpasses at the Cape Horn interchange on the Coquitlam side. “It could be as early as September,” he said. “It’s likely to be the eastbound lanes that are moved first. The details of that and the timing is still being worked out with the contractor.” Logan likens the early lane openings to the traffic pattern changes that have seen exits and onramps shift to accommodate work along the 37-kilometre construction corridor. “By shifting some lanes over to the bridge, not only does that create some work space for us it also allows us to transition traffic gradually over to the new bridge.” He said the transportation ministry wants to avoid anything like California’s multi-day freeway construction closures that have been

dubbed Carmageddon. “Phasing more gradually will minimize the impacts to trafﬁc,” he said. Drivers will be given plenty of advance warning of any changes, he said. Logan said drivers won’t experience the full travel time savings until the initial eight lanes of the new bridge are open and electronic tolling begins. It will take another year before all 10 lanes

are in service, because the old bridge must be taken down before the last two lanes of the new span can be connected to Highway 1. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom has said the planned $3 per crossing minimum toll may be lowered for the first year while only eight lanes are open.

NDP says it will stop oil line

Sionnaine Irish Dance Academy

Leaders says he’s found a legality that will halt project

Michelle Bond TCRG Instructor/Director

by Tom Fletcher Black Press NDP leader Adrian Dix has found what he believes is a legal roadblock to the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat. Dix announced Wednesday that if he becomes B.C. premier next spring, he will withdraw from the federalprovincial review of the pipeline that is underway, and launch a “made in B.C.” review of the pipeline. If that doesn’t result in rejection of the project the NDP opposes provincially and federally, Dix said the B.C. cabinet would have the ﬁnal say. And if Prime Minister Stephen Harper tries to overrule the province, the battle would shift to individual provincial permits required for river crossings and wildlife corridors in B.C., he said. Dix and NDP environment critic Rob Fleming said the B.C. Liberal government’s decision to cede control over environmental assessment to Ottawa, and then

ment shows B.C. does have jurisdiction over whether the pipeline proceeds. Dix said he wants to return B.C. to separate federal and provincial reviews of major projects, like the Prosperity gold mine near Williams Lake, where the B.C. government issued a permit, but the federal review later rejected it and spurred a costly redesign. Dix said he met Tuesday with Black Press chairman David Black, who is backing a reﬁnery at Kitimat to process oil sands crude for shipment by sea. Dix said the idea of reﬁning crude domestically is worth pursuing, but the Kitimat proposal doesn’t change his opposition to the Enbridge plan.

present no evidence at the federal hearings, left B.C. out of the discussion. Premier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Terry Lake have announced pre-conditions of pipeline and tanker safety, and provincial ofﬁcials are scheduled to cross-examine Enbridge before the federal review panel makes its recommendation to the cabinet next year. Dix emphasized the B.C. cabinet can overrule its own environmental review, just as the federal cabinet can. Lawyer Murray Rankin was hired to advise the B.C. NDP. He said the joint review agreement with Ottawa allows B.C. to give 30 days notice and opt out, and the existence of the agree-

Heritage homes labour of love T

he idea of buying and restoring a heritage home can either evoke romantic feelings of nostalgia or recurring feelings of fear depending, on your point of view. Welcome to the nebulous but fascinating world of buying a heritage home. Looking for deﬁnite regulations or designations when restoring a heritage home is a bit like trying to sort out the past. It takes a certain dedication and determination and love of the hunt. So what is a heritage home? Perhaps surprisingly, there are no hard and fast rules about just how old a heritage home must be to earn the title. None. While the Greater Vancouver Real Estate board suggests any home 60 years and older can be a heritage home, among historians, there are other factors. Variables such as who built the home, who owned it, and what kind of wood or design they chose are just as vital as its age. “A house tells a story about when it was originally built,” says Lisa Zosiak, Maple Ridge’s planning department liaison on the Maple Ridge Community Heritage Commission. “When people restore or preserve the house, they are revealing that story again.” The Heritage Resource of Maple Ridge ranks architectural and cultural historical signiﬁcance of

Former family home of Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin is being restored. The Daykins sold the property decades ago. about 100 properties. Landscape or neighbourhood signiﬁcance and value also are considered. Lastly, the integrity of the home is studied, including alterations to its structure and design. Some of these are now registered which means the historical value such as the design or materials have been veriﬁed in more detail. But what do these lists mean to a potential buyer of an historic or possibly historic property?

Does it mean you can’t alter a thing in your new home? Will the heritage police be on your doorstep with rules you’ll have to maintain while your renovate? For the majority of homes on the registries and inventories in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge the answer is no. In fact, there are just a handful designated as protected by municipal council. Owners must obtain a heritage alteration per-

mit for any changes. Nevertheless, local historians hope people will care for these sites and help maintain the community’s heritage whenever possible, Zosiak says, noting some successes over the years.

the restoration of the Hill House property on 240th Street in Albion where the owners restored the house beautifully. Studies are unclear whether there’s any great ﬁnancial gain by restoring a heritage house, according to the Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board, but both the board and Heritage BC suggest there is a growing interest. There are now some more practical perks for becoming a cultural curator, including provisions in the BC Building Code that allow for ‘alternate compliance methods’ for heritage houses.” As well, insurers will work to insure heritage homes, even making allowances in some cases for the aging knob and tube wiring. And there is now some incentive from Maple Ridge district. In 2010, council created the heritage revitalization agreement, a tool to allow homeowners to negotiate a mutually beneﬁcial deal to preserve historic sites. In some cases, the municipality has reduced taxes or allowed increased density of other projects in exchange for protection of historic properties. So far, three agreements have been reached, including the former Daykin family house on York Street and the Miller property at 104th Avenue, both of which will allow increased density in new developments while preserving the old homes.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING “Although I was initially hesitant to use One Percent Realty, I am now glad that I chose John Carlson as my Realtor. John is a low pressure guy, who is open to feedback. He did an excellent job negotiating the sale of my condo, and I would deﬁnitely recommend him to anyone in need of a realtor.” Donna P. (Pitt Meadows) ~ “We decided to go with One Percent Realty for the savings, and we are certainly glad we did. Not only did we save thousands compared to some of the other quotes we got, but David was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him to anyone.” John M ~ “I wasn’t sure what to expect with One Percent Realty but we knew John was our Realtor as soon as we met. In the end we got a true professional who did a marvellous job and saved us $10,000 compared to quotes we got from other companies. Well done John!” J&L. Willcocks (Maple Ridge) ~ “When looking to sell my townhome, I wanted an agent who would represent my needs, be attentive, and do a good job. David was able to sell my townhome quickly, for a good price, and I saved thousands compared to what some of my neighbours have paid in fees. Great job, David! “ Marie M. (Maple Ridge)

ll of us dread that call from our doctor, when he phones and tells us that we need to â€œcome in and see him right awayâ€?. This is often the next step after we have noticed something awry with our body and have gone for some medical tests to help clarify the problem. But even though we know something is wrong, none of us want to get any bad news. A couple months back I started to experience some pain and discomfort out of the ordinary. I have been blessed with good health up to this point in my life, and a trip to see Dr. F is usually a last resort for me. But I had these stories ringing in my head about guys who always ignore their physical warning signs from their bodies until things are to late and end up paying for it â€“ sometimes dearly. So in I went and, sure enough, a diagnosis has come back that things are out of whack. Right now I have come through the anxious stage of the unknown and fearing the worst. Whatâ€™s the worst? Well, in our society, when your doctor informs you about the big â€œCâ€? word (cancer). I have to admit, that was the foremost thought in my mind. What if itâ€™s cancer?

Consider substituting the double-decker sandwich for smaller items. â€˘ Add fun with ďŹ nger foods: Experiment with nutritious dips and spreads for veggies and crackers. Alternatively, boil an egg they can peel themselves. â€˘ Consult your kid: There is no better way to ensure they eat their lunch than by getting their buy-in. â€˘ Start a walking school bus: More than half of Canadian children arenâ€™t as active as they need to be. Walking is a great way to promote physical activity in kids.

In less than two weeks, parents across B.C. will send their children back to school â€“ an exciting and nerve-racking time all around. To give kids the best possible start, Margaret Ng, health and wellness manager, PaciďŹ c Blue Cross, pulled together some tips: â€˘ Pack healthy lunches: Parents strive to give their children the nutrition they need. However, how do you make sure your kids actually eat it, rather than trashing or trading it? You need to make the food appealing. â€˘ Keep it petite: Little people enjoy little por-

Son, Jesus, to die for our sins â€“ yours and mine. I have peace with God through Jesus. No matter what happens here on earth, whether God grants me a long life or not, I know I will spend eternity in the presence of my Lord and God. And in light of the uncertainty of what this life deals out, that matters a lot to me. earth are but a blip in light of eternity. We were created for more than just the here and now, but yet so much of our existence is built around our earthly existence. This reality has come home to me in a fresh way as I have pondered my own health in light of eternity recently. What really matters?

Fishery managers say the Fraser River sockeye run isn’t strong enough this year to allow any commercial fishing or recreational angling. Latest estimates peg this summer’s return of salmon at about 2.3 million, slightly better than the pre-season estimate of 2.1 million. “At these levels, we’re not anticipating commercial or recreational fisheries,” said Barry Rosenberger, DFO’s Interior area director and co-chair of the Pacific Salmon Commission’s Fraser River panel. This year’s run is down from five million last year and way down from the huge 2010 run of 30 million sockeye, believed to be a rare anomaly. A low 2012 return wasn’t unexpected, because sockeye run on a four-year cycle and the previous generation

Commercial hauls of sockeye won’t happen this year, a down year in cycle. that spawned in 2008 was very weak. The commercial and recreational sectors knew ﬁshing was unlikely, Rosenberger added. First Nations, who get ﬁshing priority for food, social and ceremony purposes, have caught 400,000 Fraser sockeye so far. Rosenberger said he doesn’t consider

this year’s run a bad outcome because four adult sockeye are returning for every one that spawned in 2008. That’s much better productivity than in 2008, he said, when less than one adult came back for each spawner from the previous generation. “If that rate of return continues we’ll be in much better position four years from now,” he said. “Our primary goal this year was to increase our spawning ground counts and we think we’re making progress.” The river temperature of 19.4 C is almost two degrees higher than average for this time of year, which poses some concern for sockeye migrating inland,

but Rosenberger said he expects the water to cool now that the midAugust heat wave has passed. Sto:lo fisheries advisor Ernie Crey said the aboriginal catch shared by the 94 bands that depend on Fraser sockeye is far below the one million fish they take in a good year. “There’s going to be a lot of hardship this year,” he said. “There won’t be a lot of fish put away for the winter months.” Next year will likely be worse, Crey added, because the 2013 run will be the weak progeny of the disastrous 2009 return that prompted Ottawa to appoint the Cohen Inquiry into the decline of Fraser sockeye.

Golden summer for Ellingson Maple Ridge’s 15-year-old track star returns from P.E.I. as Canada’s best by T i m Fi t z g e r a l d contributor If the summer of 2012 will be remembered for one thing, it will be the enduring memory of Olympic athletes triumphing over the odds to realize their dreams. Years of endless hours of training, where sleep is sacriﬁced for early morning workouts, culminate in one brief moment where the hopes of Olympic glory can be decided by the smallest of margins. While not all do not come home with medals, every athlete who made their way to London this summer will take the experience of representing their country as one of sport’s greatest achievements. For 15-year-old Jordan Ellingson, the road to the Olympics may have just opened as the six-foot two Maple Ridge Christian Ellingson School student added two javelin gold medals in the span of just more than a month. Ellingson, who is a member of the Langley Mustangs track team, won gold last month at the B.C. Summer Games. Proving that was no ﬂuke, the Grade 10 student took top honours in the Youth Under 16 division at the Legion Royal Canadian National Youth Track and Field Championships in Charlottetown, P.E.I. on Aug. 17. “This kind of came fast, I wasn’t even really planning for it,” said the humble Ellingson. That’s mostly because Ellingson is relatively new to the sport. Ryan Gee, a teacher at MRCS, saw him throw the javelin a couple of years ago and seen potential in Ellingson. That promise was then fostered when he was referred to Langley Mustang’s track coach Tom Nielsen, whose own son Kyle is

a three-time All-American javelin thrower at the University of Washington. Nielsen was encouraged with what he saw. “I could see the potential with Jordan and I just broke down some of the techniques to make it simple for him. When at first looked at him I saw that this could be something special,” said Nielsen, who has also previously coached at the University of British Columbia and continues to train some of the country’s top javelin prospects. The Langley Mustang’s coach said he slowly integrated Ellingson into higher levels of competition this summer as well as having him train with some of his top level athletes, like his son Kyle. For Ellingson, the wins are all part of learning to combine his natural athleticism with the techniques needed to compete at the nation’s highest level. “I was going to the nationals with the hope of beating my personal best,” he said. A throw of 49.65 metres not only topped his personal best, it secured the gold medal by more than 60 centimetres over his closest competitor. Ellingson laughs as he recalls his first experience throwing a javelin. He was just in Grade 3 and was on the track field with his older brother after school. “I asked if I could give it a try and he said yes. As I went to throw, the javelin smoked me in the back of the head. Thankfully no one saw it.” Ellingson said he’s thankful he’s been able to pursue the sport. He said without the strong coaching and support of his family, he would never have had the chance. Ellingson’s mother Michelle said she is more than pleased they have been able to offer him the opportunity. “There are so many kids out there with potential but they just may never know without that push from a coach or a teacher,” said Michelle. “As parents, you can’t always be there to see it.”

Jordan Ellingson of Maple Ridge makes one of six throws during the U-16 division javelin competition at the Legion Royal Canadian National Youth Track and Field Championships in Charlottetown, P.E.I. on Aug. 17. Ellingson won gold with a throw of 49.65 metres.

Hockey Day in Pitt Meadows is on the road again by T i m Fi t z g e r a l d contributor It’s as Canadian as maple syrup. It’s also the place where millions of kids have tasted the glory of winning the Stanley Cup. For anyone who’s ever played a game of road hockey, every goal conjures up memories of

Gretzky, Lemieux, and Yzerman leading their team to hockey’s holy grail. On Wednesday, Aug. 29, the Pitt Meadows Community Association is hosting its fourth annual Hockey Day at Osprey Village, from 4 to 7 p.m. The public is welcome to come and play on one of three road hockey surfaces set up

as the community association looks to raise money to help cover the cost of hockey registration for local kids. Hanna Vorlicek, executive -director of the PMCA and organizer of the event, said it’s a great way to bring the community together while helping some in the community who might not otherwise be able to pay to play

hockey this year. “It’s a real community driven event that anyone can participate in,” said Vorlicek, who came up with the idea thanks to her son Jakob’s desire to host a road hockey tournament four year’s ago. “It doesn’t matter if you’ve never even picked up a stick. It’s all for fun,” she said See BBQ, p40

Vorlicek said there will also be a skills area set up, thanks to its newest sponsor, the Royal Bank of Canada. There will also be vendors and a BBQ to help raise funds. Vorlicek said she’s hoping the event can raise enough to pay the equivalent of for kids registration fees for the 2012/13 season. She’s put calls out to both the local RCMP and ﬁre departments in hopes of getting a friendly game going. “As an association, this is what we try to do. We want to bring members of our community together while at the same time trying to help those in Pitt Meadows who need it,” said Vorlicek. “This event is so much fun. “Whether you come out and play for two minutes of you never leave the rink, it’s about helping grow Pitt Meadows.”
