election results look the same Official count still shows Liberals leading in local ridings by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

The B.C. Liberals extended their lead over the New Democrats in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows after Elections B.C. tallied the final votes. Elections B.C. officials started counting 180,000 absentee ballots Monday, an unusually high number that could be enough to change the result of some closer contests from the May 14 provincial vote. Final results will be known by Wednesday. By Tuesday afternoon, in Maple Ridge-Mission, Liberal Marc Dalton had earned an extra 919 votes, bringing his total count to 10,327. NDP’s Mike Bocking got 798 more votes for a total of 8,830. Alex Pope, who ran for the Green Party, got 1,818 up from 1,654 while Chad Thompson got 1,190, up from 1,075 after the May 14 initial count.

Ex-inmates fighting for babies in jail Suing province over cancellation of program by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

A battle to reinstate a program that allowed mothers to care for their babies while incarcerated in a Maple Ridge prison began Monday in B.C. Supreme Court. The constitutional challenge was filed five years ago after the program at the Alouette Correctional

Centre for Women was suddenly shut down. In his opening argument, lawyer Geoffrey Cowper noted the program’s cancellation violated his clients’ rights. “Our goal is to have the program restored,” Cowper said in an earlier interview. Cowper is representing Amanda Inglis and her son Damien, as well as Patricia Block and her daughter Amber. Both women were former inmates at Alouette, but had their children taken away from them after birth.

The mother-baby program began at the provincial prison, on Alouette Road off 249th Street, not long after it opened in April 2004. The four-year-experiment saw 12 mothers live with their children inside the prison fences. Of the 12, three mother-baby pairs were aboriginal. B.C. Corrections ended the program in 2008, citing an increase in prison population and the safety of infants for its demise. Since then, 22 inmates have given birth to babies who were placed in foster care or with relatives after they

Janet Rosenfeld takes the blood pressure of a patient at the Salvation Army shelter building in Maple Ridge.

Helping homeless find health S tor y by Neil Corbett

n a room at the Salvation Army, nurse Janet Rosenfeld treats those who live on the streets.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a lung disorder, is common among them. Wound care is an issue, particularly with intravenous drug users. Untreated mental health issues can be found in many. Addiction brings a host of problems. Even familiar problems that affect the general population, such as diabetes, become lifethreatening to them. A homeless person’s condition will deteriorate until the day they can no longer function, and they arrive at the emergency ward at Ridge Meadows Hospital. A new nurse practitioner position has been created to help them cope with their health issues before they become critical. Janet Rosenfeld, a veteran nurse, jumped at the challenge. “It’s an opportunity to be innovative, and work with a hard-to-reach population,” she said. “I saw it as a good fit for my experience over the years. “I’ll be seeing patients, and providing primary care.” Rosenfeld explained that the difference between a regular RN and a nurse practitioner is enhanced training. A nurse practitioner must have a nursing

degree and two years of experience. Then they can get the additional training to become a nurse practitioner. The designation allows her to see patients and diagnose their health problems, even mental health concerns. Nurse practitioners have a limited ability to write prescriptions, such as for antibiotics, can order health investigations through labs and imaging, and can refer patients to specialists. It is a new designation that is intended to address the shortage of family physicians in B.C. The first graduating class was in 2005. A nurse with 30 years experience, Rosenfeld took the masters program at UBC and became a nurse practitioner. She has a large background in women’s health, from maternity wards to sex assault programs. She has also worked with hepatitis C patients, and was the nurse practitioner for a remote aboriginal community near Prince George, in Takla Landing. There are a lot of health care positions a nurse practitioner can fill, but Rosenfeld was drawn to the job at the Caring Place in Maple Ridge. “I wanted frontline work. I enjoy patient care,” she said. “I enjoy the interaction. I enjoy building relationships with patients and finding where I can help them.” The finding in the health care system is that homeless patients are not getting health services because they don’t want to

wait at a walk-in clinic. It takes them out of their comfort zone. “We label them as hard to treat,” she said. “They use emergency like a physician’s office.” Rosenfeld said it may be a while before her new position is working at its full potential. She can’t be pushy in getting patients to seek any level of care. “Trust is a big issue with this population. They need to trust you before they’ll talk with you. “It takes time to build that relationship.” She is already building relationships in the medical community. Her position is supported by the local Division of Family Practice, and the doctors have included her in their meetings. Similarly, local mental health professionals are working with her. Not a Maple Ridge resident, she has been impressed by the intimate knowledge the local crisis intervention team has about people on the streets. “They really have a pulse on the homeless people in town,” she said. “And they have a lot of good programs at the Caring Place. “The work that’s done here is really impressive, and they’re all volunteers.” There may be a need to do outreach work – for her to literally walk the streets to meet with people who may need medical care. But presently, the office at the Salvation Army is where she will start.

Last year, the Caring Place housed almost 500 people in its shelter, and served more than 120,000 meals. So, there will be a lot of potential clients for her to see. Immediately, she has found an issue that needs to fixed. She can see a patient and write them a prescription for medication, but it won’t do any good if the person can’t afford to have it filled.

“They don’t have the money, and that’s something we need to address,” she said.” Janet Rosenfeld, nurse practitioner “They don’t have the money, and that’s something we need to address,” she said. Rosenfeld is hoping to work with pharmacies in the community to come up with a plan. There are costs for this unique service, but she believes the health care system will benefit by fewer ambulance rides, a decrease in emergency room visits, and even decreased hospital stays – patients can be discharged knowing there will be an opportunity for follow-up care. “I hope to eventually be very busy,” said Rosenfeld. “I love nursing, and I’m passionate about what I do.”

District to target commercial projects Incentives for condos to expire by Phil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

The Downtown Incentive Plan has done its job, sparking $77 million in new construction. Now Maple Ridge council wants to see if it can focus on kickstarting some commercial projects. A report suggests that council tweak the rules, allowing continuation of downtown incentives for commercial development, but letting the package of cash grants, fee reductions and tax exemptions for residential condo buildings expire at the end of 2013. Maple Ridge’s strategy has been “very successful,” Laura Benson, manager of corporate planning, told council Monday. Because of the incentives, more than 1,000 condos or apartments have been built or started in the downtown.

The strategy includes a component to entice commercial developments, such as malls or stores, which staff recommended be extended for a year, once the district completes its Commercial and Industrial Strategy this fall. Once that is in place, a new job-creation strategy will be created to replace the incentives. Coun. Al Hogarth asked for exact numbers on the boost in property tax revenue that downtown growth will give the district. “After 2016, we’ll see some large revenues coming into the district. Let’s see what the results are of what we’ve done and then see where we can go next.” Under the incentive program, which was in place for three years, developers or property owners were exempt from paying the higher property taxes, resulting from improvements to the property. According to a staff report, property tax revenue is below budget targets, partly because

of the exemptions and partly because of the sluggish economy. On the other hand, downtown is “thriving” with “an enhanced business climate,” as population density grows, the report says. Hogarth said Maple Ridge has most of what high-tech companies need when looking to relocate. “I think we’ve advanced substantially.” Council looked at measures in place in other cities, such as in Surrey, where clean-energy companies are given property tax exemptions for three years, building permit fees are cut by half and business licences cut to $1 for three years. Surrey’s also created an “Innovation Boulevard” to spur growth in the health technology field. In Sault St. Marie, Ont., property tax breaks are provided on investments of more than $1 million. Staff searched for other examples of incentives. In the resort of Mini-

ota, Man., an isolated historic town of 900 off the Trans Canada Highway, halfway between Regina and Winnipeg, newcomers and new homeowners get a $1,500 annual discount on their property taxes for two years. New businesses get a $2,500 break on their taxes. In Maui, Hawaii, businesses that set up in an “enterprise zone” get tax breaks if they increase their employment by 10 per cent in one year. However, Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin pointed out some that some companies take advantage of tax breaks, then leave once they expire.

Grants kickstart renovations It’s not a bad return on investment. Offer $50,000 in facade improvement grants in the downtown. Then spin that into $1.5-million in storefront upgrades and spruce-ups. That’s how the grant program worked for the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association, Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin told council Monday. The BIA’s facadeimprovement program offers downtown businesses grants, up to a maximum of $10,000, with renovating their store fronts. In 2011, the BIA gave out $50,000 for such purposes. That in turn, produced a total value of $2.9 million in renovations for eight businesses, including $2.7-million worth of renovations to Haney Place Mall. In 2012, the same amount was given out, $50,000 which was used to spark almost$900,000 in storefront improvements at 15 businesses.

Man pleads guilty in taxi robbery by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

A man who robbed a Maple Ridge cab driver with a fake gun pleaded guilty to the offence Monday in New Westminster Supreme Court. Christopher Warren Nohr entered the plea, on the day a trial was set to begin, to one count of using an imitation firearm to commit a robbery. Charges of robbery and unlawful confinement could be stayed. Police allege Nohr was picked up by a cab driver in Langley around 5 a.m. on March 23 2011. After robbing the

cabbie of his cash, Nohr made the driver take him to Maple Ridge, where he forced the driver to withdraw money from his own bank account and hand it over. The taxi driver let Nohr out of the car just before 6 a.m. on Dewdney Trunk Road, near Fletcher Street. Nohr was eventually identified and charged, then arrested again in Langley a few months after for breaching bail. He spent between eight and a half to nine months in custody for the offence, but is currently out on bail. Nohr, 35, returns to court in September for sentencing.

‘Issue of security’ Lawsuit from front

Govender notes aboriginal mothers are disproportionately affected by its cancellation because they account for a large percentage of inmates incarcerated in prison. “We also say that it’s an issue of security of the person,” Govender added. “By that we meant the cancellation of the program has detrimental impacts on both the physical and psychological well-being of moms and babies.” B.C. Corrections has previously said the program was cancelled because the population at Alouette had more than doubled since it first opened. As a result of the population increase, corrections staff felt that having infants in a prison environment was no longer safe. The babies and their mothers stayed in a different part of the jail, and throughout its trial run there were no incidents that jeopardized the infants’ safety or put

them at risk. Unlike West Coast LEAF, the Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver, which advocates for women in prison, rather see new mothers kept out of prison instead of having the program reinstated. “Is prison the best place to give children a start in life? Should these women have been incarcerated in the first place,” executive director Shawn Bayes writes in an article that considers sentencing alternatives. The Elizabeth Fry Society and B.C. Corrections are now working together to identify affected women, develop sentencing alternatives in the community for judges to consider, and enable women to serve their sentence in the community and raise their child. “Custody for pregnant women and mothers of young children should only ever be used as a last resort,” says Bayes. The trial is expected to last four weeks.

No easy ride As the dust settles, Christy Clark just might be in a no-win situation. On the heels of her party’s decisive victory, the B.C. Liberal leader’s unheralded celebration was tempered by the loss of her own right-wing-friendly Vancouver-Point Grey riding to New Democrat David Eby. It is open to conjecture whether her failure to win in her borrowed provincial riding – hand-picked when former premier Gordon Campbell resigned mid-term – was a statement against Clark, against her party, for Eby, for his party, or a combination of these factors, vote splitting, apathy and more. Regardless, Clark must now find a ‘safe’ riding in which to run. And this is where voters’ exacerbated distrust of politicians – all politicians – will make this a tougher sell, regardless of how friendly the riding is. It will require one of 49 election-night victors from among her party faithful to resign, telling voters “thanks but no thanks” just days after coming to us cap in hand. It will also require Clark to tell these same voters she unabashedly counts on their support, despite, presumably, spending little time in their riding before now. Some suggest Clark’s focus is on South Surrey’s three ridings – Surrey-Cloverdale, Surrey-White Rock and Surrey-Panorama – where each of her B.C. Liberals earned more votes than all challengers combined (60.05, 58.58 and 54.28 per cent, respectively). Any of these three, however, would mean Clark would be willing to unseat individuals with whom voters have formed a relationship over time (Cloverdale’s Stephanie Cadieux has served in Clark’s and her predecessor’s cabinets; White Rock’s long-serving Gordon Hogg is a former cabinet minister, city councillor and mayor; and Panorama’s Marvin Hunt first ran for public office 30 years ago, serving as a Surrey councillor for most of that time). One can only imagine voters’ reaction if Clark tried to strong-arm her way in, even if the chosen candidate shamelessly tries to convince us she or he is on board. Note, while some may have voted for the winning candidate solely because of Clark’s leadership, a great many more did so because they feared a left-leaning government – for them, the greater of two evils. Now that this fear has evaporated, these votes, too, are up in the air. – Black Press

Teachers’ fed digs in for endless war VICTORIA – Like those Japanese soldiers who didn’t hear about the end of the Second World War, the militant fringe that controls the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is digging in for an endless battle against the B.C. government. Their nemesis, PreB.C. Views mier Christy Clark, Tom Fletcher reiterated last week that seeking a 10year agreement with the BCTF is a top priority when the legislature is recalled this summer. The current one-year truce ends June 30. The BCTF grudgingly agreed to that extension last year, then ran TV ads calling for an NDP government that promised concessions and union bosses on both sides of the negotiating table. “You know, I may be a lame duck,” outgoing BCTF president Susan Lambert crowed to cheering classroom-warfare radicals at the union’s convention in March, “but I think Christy’s goose is cooked.” We’ll never know how much this sort of gloating contributed to the epic collapse of the NDP, champion of public sector union members whose pay and benefits make them the new upper class. But I can tell you the prospects for sparing children from this ideological warfare are not good. Last week, the B.C. Court of Appeal handed down an ivory-tower decision that upheld the “right” of teachers to bring their union demands into the

classroom in the form of posters, buttons and black armbands that to some self-absorbed teachers symbolize the “death” of education. During the election campaign, The Globe and Mail carried a story on one of those mock elections held in schools around the province. An elementarylevel student was quoted as saying she voted against the B.C. Liberals because Clark “caused a teachers’ strike.” If this kid was talking about the most recent strike, I wonder where she got that idea. In a negotiating performance that was appalling even by BCTF standards, Lambert and her team conducted months of disruptive work-to-rule action before they could even articulate a wage and benefit demand. When they finally did, it was outrageously out of touch with reality. An indication of how the union’s ruling class wants to conduct itself in the classroom can be found in the latest issue of the BCTF newsletter to its members. Joanna Larson, president of the Prince Rupert union local, contributes an article headlined: “What kind of citizen do we hope to graduate from our K-12 public schools?” Larson first quotes the education ministry’s current goals. They include preparing citizens who are “creative, flexible, self-motivated, and who have a positive self-image.” Another goal is citizens who are “skilled and who can contribute to society generally, including the world of work.” Larson then mocks these goals, as follows: “Essentially, the Ministry of Education

has a vision of citizens who will maintain the status quo, not rock the boat, and participate on a superficial level in aspects of political and societal change. It doesn’t challenge individuals to take direct action against exploitation, marginalization and violence.” In case you missed the political message, Larson later asserts: “The educated citizens we graduate from our schools cannot just be content to wear a pink shirt once a year ... Educated, engaged citizens must be willing to take direct action to change and shape our society for the better.”

“The educated citizens we graduate from our schools cannot just be content to wear a pink shirt once a year ...” What is this ghastly “status quo” that must be challenged by “direct action”? In these campus-radical screeds, the final answer is generally the same: capitalism. This call to arms is a blend of the NDP election platform and a rant from the Occupy Vancouver squat of a couple of years ago. It’s no wonder we hear of students making BCTF picket signs in art class.

The News/letters Good reasons not to use garburator Editor, The News: Re: Lucky to live in Maple Ridge (Letters, May 24): Henry Blok, while I appreciate your enthusiasm for Maple Ridge’s current recycling system, I’d like to address your suggestion of dealing with food scraps by putting them through a garburator. Here are some reasons why garburating food scraps is not a good solution (taken directly from Ridge Meadows Recycling Society’s “Report to Council: April 19, 2010”: • build up of food waste inside pipes leading to clogs; • extra amounts of water and energy are required to push food waste through pipes; • strain on treatment plant as the existing system is not set up to handle volume; • negative impact downstream on ecosystems. With that said, they do state that garburating organic waste is better than sending it to the landfill. Several Canadian municipalities, including Toronto, Ottawa and Guelph, have banned the use of garburators, while many others discourage their use. In addition, many scientific studies have been conducted to demonstrate that adding food scraps to the water system can be hazardous to aquatic life. I would like to reiterate my position that composting organic waste, via weekly curbside pick up, is the best solution for our city. Combined with a streamlined recycling program and city-wide garbage pick-up, we will be even luckier to live in Maple Ridge. Cheryl Zandbergen Maple Ridge

From seed to stalk to flower Editor, The News: Re: Seniors garden with Eric Langton kindergartners (The News, May 24). I heartily applaud the effort being made to introduce children to the gardening process. How wonderful it is to watch as a seed becomes a stalk, then a flower and finally bears fruit (in this case, vegetables). This is the best learning experience for any child. I have always advocated the use of land, which, by any other definition, is stagnant, for such projects. Examples that come to mind are transit right-ofways (under SkyTrain, in some areas), B.C. Hydro right-ofways, of which there is plenty. There must be a good reason Bill Gates and his friends built the Svalbard Seed Vault, buried deep into the Arctic Archipelago, above Norway. With his seeds and our children growing up knowing the value of fresh vegetables and how to make them grow, there may be hope for civilization. Mike Boileau Maple Ridge

Taking this to court only makes Maple Ridge look bad. I think some problems can be solved with out dragging it through courts and wasting taxpayers’ money. This is only a small course, not a PGA course. It sounds like this more of a problem with Gordy Robson than Heather Hills. Bill Parry Maple Ridge

Old hotel in Hammond soon to bite the dust Proposal to build a new treatment centre by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

One Hammond resident is worried that if the district keeps tearing down old buildings in the area, it won’t have any heritage left there. Council is currently considering a proposal to tear down the old Maple Crescent Lodge and replace it with a new twostory treatment centre with 41 beds. “That’s one of the heritage buildings in the neighbourhood,” Eric Phillips said. “It’s one of the buildings that survived the Hammond fire in 1916.” While council has considered an area plan for Hammond, which would set the character of future development in the area, there’s no set timeline for creating such a plan, which also could serve as a means of protecting the old buildings. And with the building not on the district’s heritage register or a heritage resource, the old building that used to be called the Hammond Cafe and Rooms could soon be a pile of rubble. “We’re already losing enough of our heritage as it is,” said Phillips. “If they tear all the

And other buildings along Maple Crescent that create the rustic feel of old Port Hammond could be at risk. One old building still has a sign that says Hammond Library, while there’s still the old Hartnell House on the corner of 207th Street at 11224 Maple Crescent, listed as one of the “heritage resources” of Maple Ridge. Two other buildings nearby, the old B.C. Tel building at

20605 Maple Cres. and the old Bank of Hamilton at 20617 Maple Cres., are also listed as a heritage resource. But the old hotel, or rooming house, now with the sign Maple Crescent Lodge at the front, has no such minimal designation, let alone the protection of being listed on Maple Ridge’s Heritage Register. And a staff report which describes the zoning application by Innervisions Recovery Society makes no mention of its historical value. Lisa Zoziak, in the district’s planning department, says there’s no such information on the property, adding if an area plan is created, heritage aspects could be addressed. The loose group of residents known as Hammond Neighbours A women’s business networking group serving Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows is also concerned, although opinions among members vary. “Everybody has

their own opinion,” of the application, said Leanne Koehn, who’s renovating her own home under a heritage revitalization agreement. Koehn said she’d like to create a heritage village in Hammond, possibly by moving old buildings as such as the old hotel closer together. She said it would be nice to preserve the building, saying the interior is supposed to be nice. Craig Speirs, chair of the heritage commission, said the committee hasn’t been contacted by staff or the district. But it could be to the applicant’s advantage to apply for a heritage revitalization agreement in which tax incentives and development cost charge discounts in return for preserving the building during renovations. Innervisions founder Billy Weselowski, though, wonders where the concern was for the last couple of decades, when the building was a crack shack. “The reality is, five years ago that place was the utmost hole in the ground.” It was so bad, a movie company wanted to film a horror production there. “That strikes me as awfully odd. For 20 years, it was in the depths of darkness and nobody cared about it then.” Since being acquired by Innervisions, the building, now the Maple Crescent Lodge, has been housing people under treatment for addiction. “Where would it be if we hadn’t taken it over? There are 18 people in there now. It’s saved some human souls.” Weselowski said the new building will retain the character of the area and have same colours and trim as the existing buildings along the heritage street of Maple Crescent and that people will have input into the project.

Recycling depot takes kitchen fat It’s assumed you’re not pouring your used french fry oil and beef fat down the drain, where it can clog pipes and lead to costly repairs. So after collecting all the old grease and oil, what do you do with it? Take it down to the Ridge Meadows Recycling Society depot, off River Road, where it will be dumped into a big vat and shipped off to be filtered, sterilized and either mixed back in with feed rations, or used as an ingredient in biodiesel fuel. Leanne Koehn, with the recycling society, said the program has just started and is another attempt at removing recyclable products from the waste stream and the garbage dump. “Our fear is that it is always going into drains,” said Koehn. She explained the program is for residents rather than restaurants, which already collect their grease and oil for processing by West Coast Reductions, which is also processing the grease collected from the recycling depot. “We call ourselves the original recyclers. We started nearly 50 years ago,” said Tim Gale, with West Coast. “We collect used cooking oil and are able to refine it and sell it back to local farmers who re-use its high calorific value. It’s a closed-loop system.” Recycling society president Jon Harris said kitchen grease is the latest product that now can be recycled because a company now has a market for the product. As of last fall, the society also now accepts styrofoam, for a $2 dropoff fee. There’s no charge to drop off the old kitchen fat, grease or oil, however.

The 26Th annual BC ChilDren’s hOsPiTal’s MiraCle WeekenD

BC Children’s Hospital helps kids get care closer to home BC Children’s Hospital has played a big role in Kaitlyn Morovic’s life. The three-yearold was born with Down syndrome and two holes in her heart, and spent the first six weeks of her life in the hospital. Her mother Heather still raves about the care Kaitlyn receives at Children’s while also celebrating the fact that she now has what she calls her “direct link” to BC Children’s in the form of Richmond-based pediatrician Dr. Erik Swartz. “Dr. Swartz has expertise in Kaitlyn’s condition and everything that’s secondary to it,” Morovic says. “Although Children’s is just 20 minutes away, it’s great to be able to get an appointment quickly with Dr. Swartz, and he’s just a few minutes from home.” Swartz works in the General Pediatrics Clinic, which is part of the Child Health Centre at Richmond Hospital. The Child Health Centre was established with $800,000 in support from Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital aimed at ensuring all children in BC have access to a consistent standard of care no matter where in the province they live. The centre is also home to the Early Childhood Mental Health Program and the Noakes Primary Care Maternity Clinic. “The fact that Kaitlyn is able to receive specialized care so close to home is exactly

what we’re looking for,” says Dr. Maureen O’Donnell, executive director of Child Health BC. Child Health BC’s activities took off after Overwaitea Food Group became the lead benefactor with a pledge of $20 million in support in 2007. TELUS and Scotiabank later made gifts of $5 million and $1 million, respectively. This support had an immediate impact, says O’Donnell. Pediatric clinics established with Child Health BC’s support in Nanaimo and Prince George have thousands of patient visits annually; additional travelling clinics are staffed by BC Children’s caregivers in communities across the province; and over 1,000 health professionals have participated in Child Health BC’s workshops. O’Donnell credits Overwaitea Food Group’s donation with Child Health BC’s growing reach across the province, noting that it’s a perfect fit for an organization with a presence in so many BC communities. Overwaitea Food Group President Darrell Jones agrees. “We’re committed to the health and wellness of kids and families in BC,” says Jones. “We’ve been proud to support BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades – and with the help of our communities, we’ve contributed millions of dollars toward hospital improvement projects,

advocacy programs and important research initiatives. We’re grateful for the amazing support of our local communities, team members, customers and supplier partners who have all played a key role in making this fundraising success possible.” Child Health BC is part of a larger transformation in the way BC’s children receive care, says Larry Gold, president of BC Children’s Hospital and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. The transformation also includes the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. “We want to ensure children have access to a consistent standard of care, whether they live in Smithers, Campbell River or Castlegar; and there will always be children who need care that’s only available in a children’s hospital,” says Gold. BC Children’s Hospital Foundation has raised close to $170 million, including Overwaitea Food Group’s gift and $25 million from Teck Resources Limited, in its $200-million capital campaign to support construction of the new hospital and Child Health BC. Gold says that the new hospital, which will open in 2018, will be family-friendly, making it easier for families from outside the Lower Mainland to remain with their children. Beyond the money being raised for the new hospital and Child Health BC, Gold says the hospital also counts on donations of about $14 million a year to support research, equipment purchases and training. On June 1 and 2 BC Children’s Hospital Foundation will hold its annual Miracle Weekend celebration on Global BC, to raise the millions the hospital needs to cover its urgent annual needs. “Every year people from across the province make donations in support of the hospital and it makes a huge difference,” says Gold. “Kaitlyn Morovic is proof of that.” Heather Morovic says she’s grateful for both the care Kaitlyn receives at BC Children’s and the support she gets on a regular basis from Dr. Swartz. “He just gets it,” she says. “And Kaitlyn is doing fantastic. She’s walking and trying hard to talk, and she certainly knows how to pull on the heart strings. With BC Children’s and Dr. Swartz on our side, we couldn’t ask for a better support team.”

BC Children’s Hospital treated over 81,000 children last year. Approximately 67 per cent of those children came from outside the City of Vancouver.

JUNE 1 & 2, 2013 On June 1 and 2, tune in to Miracle Weekend, broadcast live from BC Children’s Hospital, on Global BC from 7:00pm on Saturday, June 1 until 5:30pm on Sunday, June 2 The 26th annual BC Children’s Hospital’s Miracle Weekend is a two-day celebration that showcases the best of BC Children’s Hospital: patients, their families, caregivers and supporters who come from every corner of BC. BC Children’s Hospital receives over 200,000 visits from patients from across the province every year. Donations help the hospital deliver the best in care every day, and are helping to prepare for the future by supporting the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital and better access to care for children in or close to their home communities. Please support BC Children’s Hospital.

At the Overwaitea Food Group, we’re very proud of our longstanding commitment to investing in the health of kids and their families. We’re grateful to everyone who supports us in this effort. Our team members, customers and suppliers have all played a key role in our fundraising success over the years. We’ve been supporting BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades, and we’ve raised millions of dollars in support of capital improvement projects, important research initiatives and advocacy programs designed to help keep our kids safe by reducing preventable injuries. In 2007, we made a $20 million pledge to support Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital that helps get kids in BC get the care they need, closer to home. Since then, we’ve raised more than $10.7 million toward our goal, and Child Health BC has been able to put this concept into action in a number of communities throughout BC. We are grateful for the amazing commitment and fund raising efforts driven by OFG team members who encourage the generosity of our customers and suppliers.

Conditional sentence for father by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

A Maple Ridge man convicted of growing marijuana for the purpose of trafficking will serve his year-long sentence in the community. Scott Petrie will have to comply with a curfew for the first six months of the conditional sentence and complete 50 hours of community service. “I’m glad it’s over,” Petrie said before Madam Justice Kathleen Ker handed down her sentence in New Westminster Supreme Court on Monday. Petrie, 50, was charged in 2010 with one count each of growing marijuana and possessing marijuana for the purpose of trafficking after Ridge Meadows RCMP found a grow operation in his home on Rothsay Street, where he lived with his son. Police searched the property after receiving information about abnormally high electricity consumption from B.C. Hydro. A four-room grow op, with 320 marijuana plants, was found in the basement. “I accept that Mr. Pet-

The grow operation had 320 plants. rie is remorseful and embarrassed about the situation and is unlikely to be involved in the future commission of an offence of this type,” said Justice Ker. She noted the conditional sentence will allow Petrie the flexibility to continue caring for his teenage son. “I have carefully considered whether there is a need to separate Mr. Petrie from society and I concluded that given his individual circumstances and the circumstances of the offence that he is able to serve his sentence in the community,” said Justice Ker. Petrie told the court he resorted to growing marijuana in 2010 as a way to support his

family. Petrie had to quit his job to care for his young son after the boy’s mother died. “It’s not something I liked doing and it’s not something I would get into again,” Petrie assured the court. Petrie, who has no prior criminal convictions, thanked Crown supporting a conditional sentence instead of a prison term. He told the court the past three years have been stressful. “It’s more than putting your life on hold,” said Petrie. “It’s almost a form of incarceration.” Petrie spent seven days in jail after he was charged but has been on bail since.

Justice Ker said the offences carry a maximum penalty of seven years in prison. In additional to the 12-month conditional sentence, Petrie received a six-month probation order. He won’t spend anytime in prison if he complies with the conditions of his sentence. The conditions include a curfew from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. for the first six months of the sentence, keeping the peace, and notifying the court of any changes to his home address.

Trudy Parisien worked on R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

rudy Parisien’s hairstyles for the characters that populate The Haunting Hour are a testament to her creativity. From fairies and vampires to Russian farm folk, Parisien has no trouble crafting manes to suit the TV show’s fantasy world. It’s no wonder her talents are garnering accolades from the TV industry. Parisien has snagged a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Hairstyling. “This nomination is a huge deal, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing,” says Parisien, who worked on the show for two seasons. “If I don’t win, I’m still very fortunate to have been nominated. Not many stylists get this opportunity. I’m very grateful.” Parisien has worked as a makeup artist in the film and television industry since 1997. After graduating at the top of her class from Blanche MacDonald Centre, one of Canada’s most prestigious makeup schools, she went on to have her work featured in numerous magazine ads and television commercials. Some of her best work came when Parisien got in-

volved in the film and television industry where she worked on shows like Whistler, Far Cry, Alice I Think, Just Deal, Hiccups, and many others. During this time she did makeup for Ali Larter, Emmanuelle Vaugier, Amanda Crew, Antonio Sabato Jr., Dennis Hopper, and Luke Perry, to name a few. R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour is a filmed-in-B.C. horror-fantasy series, which is nominated for a total of nine daytime Emmys this year. Like the TV series Goosebumps, every episode features a different cast in a scary situation that would involve witches, ghosts, aliens, and other monsters.

“It’s a once in a lifetime thing.” Trudy Parisien, Emmy-nominated hairstylist

The hairstyles Parisien created for the show included an 1800s look for an upperclass mother and her teenage daughter; hairdos from the 1950s; 1940s Russian farm folk and wispy coifs for old sick vampires. The 40th annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards ceremony will be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday, June 16.

Campbell + Green return to Maple Ridge with new CD Duo back for a series of concert in their old hometown

Contributed

Robert Campbell and Cailin Green play Maple Ridge June 7, 9 and 15.

Robert Campbell and Cailin Green return to Maple Ridge next week to launch their brand new CD – east. One year ago this month, the musical duo left B.C. to follow their dreams, all the way to Nova Scotia. Now living outside of Dartmouth, they have spent the past months honing their songwriting skills and working with producer Jamie Robinson to create a delightful new CD of original tunes. Well known in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows for their past community involvement, business and volunteer work, Campbell and Green have many friends and acquaintances here. “Where better to kick off our B.C. tour and launch our new CD?” asks Campbell. “We look forward to seeing everyone.

There are many people here who are very special to us.” Many will remember the years Campbell produced the Jazz and Blues Festival in Maple Ridge, and his position of director of ceremonies and events for the 2009 B.C. Disability Games. Both Campbell and Green are Rotarians, having participated in numerous fundraising efforts. Campbell even served a term as president of the Meadow Ridge Rotary, for 2008 to 2009. This dynamic couple have also been involved in numerous community theatre productions and shows such as the Ridge Meadows Opry, Millennium Players, and Maple Ridge Hospice Society functions. They also had the honour of playing with many fine local musicians every Sunday evening with the band Newhouse at the Billy Miner Pub Jam, and have been seen playing their music at many venues and events around the Lower Mainland.

The band, now House Rules, continues to run the jam every Sunday. “We live in Nova Scotia now, but pieces of our hearts remain in Maple Ridge” says Green. “There was never any question that this was the first place we’d tour.” Musician Laurie Thain has hosted the Little Brick Church series since 1995 and is thrilled to feature Campbell and Green in her 46th show. Thain couldn’t put on the series without the help of Blair and Marlene Anderson, who’ve volunteered since the start. “They have been helping with this show and taking tickets at the door since 1995,” says Thain. “In fact, I don’t suggest a date if they are busy as I would miss their help and the regular followers of our series would really miss them if they weren’t there. We even have regulars who come up from the USA.”

Emily Doreen Wilson won a Fraser Valley Zone award for outstanding supporting actress in Trying while Simon Challenger won for directing the same production.

Accolades for Emerald Pig Trying wins at Fraser Valley Zone Festival The Emerald Pig Theatrical Society heads to Mainstage for the second year in a row after collecting a stack of accolades at the Fraser Valley Zone Festival on the weekend. Simon Challenger took home an award for outstanding director while John Stuart won for outstanding actor in Emerald Pig’s production of Trying, by Joanna McClelland Glass. Emily Doreen Wilson won outstanding supporting actress for her role in the same production. Directed by Challenger, Trying is a play about, well, trying. Trying to hold on to the past, trying to move forward into the future, trying to help, trying to help oneself, trying to change, trying to stay the same. It is based on the real experiences of the playwright working for Judge Biddle in 1967. It is a heart-warming story of a “trying” relationship that evolves into understanding, mutual respect and friendship.

A brilliant legal mind, Judge Biddle was appointed by Harry Truman to the Nuremberg Tribunal in 1946 and went on to be attorney general under Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Years later, he finds himself functioning “somewhere between lucidity and senility” with the weight of what he’ll leave behind as a legacy bearing down on him. Biddle just can’t seem to find the right person to assist him in organizing the papers and experiences of a brilliant career. Many have tried, but none have succeeded. Just as he decides that there’s no one who can meet his expectations, Sarah Schorr, a 25-year-old, plainspoken girl from Saskatchewan, arrives at his office. Doug Huggins got an honourable mention for set design in Trying while the talented Charlene Rowley got a nod for her costumes. Trying producer Sharon Malone also earned an honourable mention. Trying will be Emerald Pig’s submission at Theatre B.C.’s Mainstage provincial drama festival, which takes place in Kamloops in July.

Superman keys two-win weekend by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

After a pair of weekend wins, the Maple Ridge Burrards are 2-1 on the season, and have served notice that they will be torching defences in the Western Lacrosse Association. The guy keying the offence is no less a persona than Superman. That’s the nickname Curtis Dickson has been handed for his heroics at lacrosse’s pro ranks – with the National Lacrosse League’s Calgary Roughnecks. He got that handle for the way he dives across the front of opposing nets shooting while in flight. Sometimes he follows up such a goal with a celebration that sees him pull open an imaginary jacket across his chest, like Clark Kent revealing his “S” on his costume. Dickson had 10 points in a 14-12 overtime win against the Adanacs on Saturday in Coquitlam, and followed that up with nine points in a home game Sunday – a 13-9 win over the New Westminster Salmonbellies. “Ten points – there’s not too many guys in our league who can do that,” said a smiling Burrards president Lance Andre. He said the Adanacs tried to double team Dickson, but that only opened up his talented teammates to make plays. “He was moving the ball, and he’s a dominant force,” said Andre. “Goaltending this weekend has been phenomenal. And our big guys, who we need to play, are playing,” said Andre. Captain Jarrett Davis and Joel Dalgardno both had seven-point games on Saturday, and rookie Mike Mallory continues to impress with two goals and two assists. Other scorers were Brandon Bertoia and Andrew Murphy with two. Sunday The two-win weekend has the Burrards gaining confidence. “It was awesome. That’s the way we know we can play,” said Dickson. “It’s scary to think that not all of our players are here yet.” He said the offence is executing, and goaltender Chris Levis “made all the saves he had to.” Asked about his offensive outburst, Dickson, was quick to downplay it. “It’s not all about points,” he said. However, after being third in the NLL with 42 goals the season past, with 62 points, he came into this WLA season with some expectations to live up to. And, he’s pretty sure 10 points is a first in his box lacrosse career. “It obviously feels pretty good.” And, he said playing with guys like Davis, Mallory

Athletes compete at provincials Three Maple Ridge secondary track and field athletes, Monique Lisek, Emily Murray and Nick Cowley, spent all day Friday and Saturday in the grueling B.C. multi-event championship. Lisek finished fourth overall, and Murray eighth in the heptathlon, and Cowley was seventh in the decathlon. All three athletes earned points for the MRSS team despite being first timers in the competition. Their points will add to those the team earns Friday and Saturday when they compete at the B.C. Championships in Langley.

Ka-Vroom soapbox rescheduled Tim Fitzgerald/The newS

Curtis “Superman” Dickson (17) had 19 points in two weekend games, and is the scoring leader in the WLA so far. and Dalgarno makes it easier. “Everyone’s scoring, and everyone’s chipping in.” Dalgarno had two goals and four assists on Sunday, Murphy two goals and three assists, J. Davis a goal and four assists, Bertoia scored twice and Gastaldo got one. The Ridge power play went five for eight on the night. With 12 goals and 11 assists for 23 points in three games, Dickson leads the league. Levis has been the busiest goaltender in the WLA, leading the circuit with 112 saves through three games. The defence has looked good in spots. With the score 10-8 the Salmonbellies had a chance to cut into the lead on the power play, but the Burrards killed it, and then a minute later scored to go up 118. The Salmonbellies were trailing 12-9 with about

two and a half minutes left when they pulled their goaltender for an extra attacker, but they couldn’t score. The Burrards are in Burnaby this Friday, to take on the 0-2 Lakers. Sunday the Victoria Shamrocks will try to pull on Superman’s cape The Burrards have the league’s top scorer, but the reigning WLA scoring champion in Scott Ranger. The five-time all-star finished the year with 92 points last year, and 95 in 2011. He is also a teammate of Dickson’s with the Roughnecks. Setting Ranger up is elite playmaker Cory Conway, who also plays with the NLL Edmonton Rush. Ranger and Conway each have 18 points, tied for second in league scoring behind Dickson. Sunday sets up like a game that will offer a football score. “That’ll be a good test,” nods Andre.

The Maple Ridge Secondary School KaVroom Soapbox Derby has been rescheduled to Saturday, June 22, instead of the original date of Saturday June 1. “This will give participants more time to prepare their carts, and look forward to a fantastic day of racing, food and games,” said organizers. Children 6-14 can register before Saturday, June 1, to join the event and race down North Avenue. • For more information: www.mrsskavroom.blogspot.com.

Watching the best of the best play, the coaching staff finalized its Team B.C. selections, and the three locals were among 18 runners and two goaltenders who were picked. They will represented B.C. at a national tournament, to be held in Ontario in August.

There were also four bantam players who made Team B.C. in William Clayton, Daytin Vidovich, Connor Evers and Dylan MacIntosh. They will be playing at the national tournament in Winnipeg, Man. in August. This weekend girls tryouts for girls provincial teams will be held. The Midget boys tryouts are also happening, but nobody from the local association will take part.

Bodychecking will no longer be allowed at either rep or house league hockey across Canada until players reach the bantam age group. Research indicates that player’s undeveloped neck strength at the pee wee level leaves them at high risk of injury.

Hockey Canada removes bodychecking until bantam Not hitting in pee wee rep starting this season by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

Hockey Canada has removed body checking from all levels aged peewee and below. The decision was no surprise locally. “We knew it was coming down the pipe,” said Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey president Dan Herbranson. While he would not have been opposed to keeping body checking at the peewee level, he said it is a decision he can support. “From an injury/risk management standpoint, yes,” he said. And, he said there is also a case to be made that the change will be helpful in development more skillful hockey players. “You take out body contact, and the other skills – skating, puckhandling, shooting – all seem to improve, as players don’t need to worry about body checking.” Bodychecking was removed from all levels of house league hockey in the Pacific Coast region last year. “Bodychecking is part of the game of hockey, but how many of our players will go on to play college, junior or hockey above men’s rec league – it’s a very small percentage,” said Herbranson, a referee. “At least on the surface,

it’ll make hockey safer.” He noted that not all contact has been removed from the game. If a player angles an opposing puck carrier along the boards, and they are traveling in the same direction, he will be able to interpose his body to impede his progress and separate the player from the puck – commonly referred to as “rubbing out” a player. However, deliberate mid-ice collisions will be gone. There has been a great deal of research done about this topic. The Rick Hansen Institute, working with the group ThinkFirst, which works to reduce brain and spinal chord injuries, and the Canadian Paediatric Society, employed Angus Reid to poll hockey parents. The survey, called Protecting Children and Youth, found: • 79 per cent of fans support introducing bodychecking at age 15 or older; • 67 per cent of hockey parents support introducing bodychecking at age 15 or older; • 71 per cent of fans support the idea of having youth only play against others of the same age; • 66 per cent of hockey parents support the idea of having youth only play against others of the same age. “Youth under the age of 14 are especially vulnerable to brain trauma because their heads are larger as a proportion of body

size, while the strength of supporting neck muscles are still developing and, thus, weaker than are those of more mature athletes. There is now compelling scientific evidence that children are at higher risk for head and neck injuries (ie. concussions, spinal cord injuries) when body checking is allowed,” said the Hansen foundation. The same survey found that only 17 per cent of hockey parents felt that introducing bodychecking at a later age would hinder their child, while 26 per cent it would help. Herbranson said Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey will be running pre-season clinics for players trying out for bantam rep teams, to get them ready for bodychecking – just as there have been clinics for pee wee rep players. “We’ll be making sure players will be equipped to handle that [bodychecking)]” he said. Hockey Canada held its 94th annual general meeting on Friday and Saturday in Charlottetown, PEI. In addition to removing body checking from peewee levels and below, the 250 delegates of the meeting formed a working group to create a national checking and instructional resource program to support the progressive implementation of checking skills at the novice to pee wee levels to prepare for body checking at the bantam and midget levels.
