Public to speak on higher densities by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Maple Ridge residents will have another chance at kicking around the concept of higher densities in Albion, after council sent a bylaw proposal to a September public hearing Tuesday. Some councillors, though, were still cautious about such a concept, used in most Lower Mainland municipalities, in which developers pay extra contributions in return for minor bumping up of the population density of their projects. “I’m very interested to see what developers and the public say about these, as well, because it’s going to affect housing costs,” said Coun. Michael Morden. He eventually agreed, though, to first and second reading, along with five other councillors, leaving only Coun. Corisa Bell voting against it. See Density, p10

Helping out in High River S tor y by tim Fitzgerald

s Sara and Nate Searle rolled into High River, Alta. just after 2:30 a.m. Monday, they first noticed the railroad tracks, twisted like a strand of DNA. They saw boats overturned, covered in muck, lying haphazardly along the streets as if left Contributed Sara and Nate Searle drove donations they by a child in a sandbox. Entire streets collected to High River, Alta. were laid to waste, homes gutted.

Weary from driving a packed 16-foot cube van on a 13-hour drive that stretched across three mountain passes, the Maple Ridge couple was as informed as possible about the plight of the residents of the flood-ravaged community. Television reports, newspapers, and social media provided them a glimpse of the devastation to the community of more than 12,000. Still, as Sara and Nate approached their destination – a makeshift camp set up to collect donated goods to assist those in the community while cleanup continues – they were overwhelmed with the scope of the destruction. As the sun rose, they toured the area, drop-

ping off supplies. It occurred to Nate, what was once a vibrant community “looked like a war zone. “You drive around town and you see all these homes and they have signs posted on them that say ‘water on, gas on, volunteers needed, fridge removal,’ because everything that they need is written out because there are no phone lines. It’s their only means of communication. “It was street after street after street where people had pulled everything out of their basement. They had gutted everything right down to the studs. It’s just mountains of garbage, insulation, toys, drywall and muck piled in front of every home.”

Plenty still going on at public library

(Above) Sarah Dearman, a librarian, applies animal stamps to children’s hands following storytime in Maple Ridge on Thursday; (below) children raise their hands during storytime, a popular program.

S tor y by Neil Corbett

round the world, it’s a question being asked – are public libraries still relevant?

Last year in the UK, 201 public libraries were closed due to declining circulation. Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, now embroiled in greater controversy over alleged drug use, waded into this debate in 2011, saying his council should address budget shortcomings with a “rationalization of Toronto’s public library footprint.” There was soon a loud public outcry. Across Canada, school boards are cutting their teacher-librarian positions. There are none left in Nova Scotia. The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District, faced with a budget shortfall for the coming school year, cut teacher-librarian positions so that each high school will be left with one half-time teacher-librarian. Earlier this year, Delta municipal Coun. Ian Paton suggested libraries may be going the way of rental video stores. He asked why – in an era when people have computers in their homes and can buy digital books for handheld devices – should Delta spend $3.19 million per year on libraries? In 2013, every person in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows will spend $34 for library services. Of the $22 million collected in taxes by the Fraser Valley Regional Library system, $2.6 million will come from Maple Ridge, and $875,000 from Pitt Meadows, which last year opened a new public library. Is it money well spent? At the Maple Ridge Public Library on Thursday morning, there is a lineup of people waiting for the 10 a.m. opening. There are three silver-haired seniors at the door, a pair of moms with strollers waiting behind them, and a young man reading a novel on the public bench nearby. As they wait, more people walk up, until the group numbers about 20. The doors open, and they file in, going to various corners of the multi-level, 35,000-square-foot facility. Library manager Teresa MacLeod said most mornings there is a lineup to get in. “That’s typical. There’s storytime at 10:30, and people want our internet computers or newspapers.” Three mornings per week, between 75 and 100 parents and tots attend storytime – one of the most popular library services – then some 40 or 50 more will attend babytime for children under 2. Parents know the importance of teaching their children to love reading. MacLeod said librarians themselves are having the conversation about relevance of their services. She said politicians asking this question need to get familiar with modern facilities. “They have an image of what libraries are in their head, and that’s kind of book repositories.” Libraries have changed a lot in the last generation, and it’s not just the coffee brewing. MacLeod points out that in June there was an Aboriginal film series offer in the Fraser Room, the main meeting room at the library It also library hosted a celebration of Eid, a

Colleen Flanagan/ THE NEWS

Muslim feast to mark the end of Ramadan’s fasting, just as it celebrated Diwali, and the Japanese cherry blossom festival. Generally about 100 people turn up for such events. “People learn about other cultures, and it’s friendly and social,” she said. With a local seniors group, the library hosted the Aging Gracefully Series, which has been popular and covers everything from caring for aging parents to financial literacy for older adults.

There is a teen council, which helps younger “reading buddies” with literacy, at the library, which has gotten involved in projects like gadget workshops for seniors. Helping people with technology has been another recent theme at the library. There have been drop-in computer assistance sessions, workshops on basic computer literacy, and lessons in social media online. “They’re low key, friendly and non-intimidating,” MacLeod said of the programs.

And play a critical role for her organization. “It’s really important – where else do people go?” MacLeod said many people have gotten their parents or grandparents e-readers so they can buy digital books, and the recipients end up asking the librarians how to use them. E-books are creating a change in the library system, but it has not been as fast and dramatic as politicians wanting to cut the “library” line item out of their budgets would have taxpayers believe. Library members can go onto the FVRL site and download e-books for free. The difference between that and buying the book is that after three weeks the e-book file disappears from their device. That is the arrangement that has been made between libraries and publishers. MacLeod said there are generally “little frustrations” when people start reading ebooks, but soon most become fans. Rita Penco, director of client services for FVRL, allows that whether libraries are worth an investment of public funds is a legitimate question for politicians to ask. But they shouldn’t get too far ahead of themselves. “E-books are here, but we’re nowhere near the death of paper and the printed word yet,” she said. “And our circulation is holding its own.” E-book borrowing represents only five percent of total borrowing in the FVRL system.

Car Care with Cyril Barry

GASOLINE

For the last few years we’ve seen the price of automotive gasoline fluctuate by as much as .10 cents a litre in the span of a day or two. So the average commuter can save quite a bit of money by paying attention to the various price wars, while driving back and forth to work. There have been various reasons for these wild price swings reported in the news media, most of which are incorrect, but the reasons(s) don’t matter, only today’s best price. All gas is not created equal. Some stations or brands are better than others, so if you recently filled up at a station due to price and your car started to run poorly a day or so later, my advice is not to go there again. For instance the only two gasoline’s to my knowledge, sold without ethanol blended into them are the highest octane’s sold at Chevron & Shell, all the rest are blended. This is important if you are running any vehicle or motor that uses a carburettor, as fuel’s blended with ethanol can cause multiple problems with carburettors as well as in most marine applications. Right Michelle? Recently I have noticed quite a few people not only filling up their vehicle’s gas tank, but also a few gas jugs as well. So lets do the math. A five gallon or 20-litre gas jug will save you about one dollar on an average price drop of five cents per litre. Multiply that by, say, three jugs and you have saved the awesome amount of three bucks. Now you’re driving down the road with sixty litres of gasoline in your trunk or worse, in the back of your van or SUV. Essentially you’re now driving a bomb! That’s right boys and girls, a bomb just waiting for a place to go-boom boom. Do you have any idea the amount of destruction and personal tragedy you are carrying in the back of your vehicle? Wake up people! Is the risk worth the dollar or two you might save? There is no way on God’s green earth that it’s worth such a big risk for such a small return. To carry loose containers in any vehicle full of gasoline, without the appropriate storage location and labelling, is an accident waiting to happen. It’s just really stupid. You should not do this under any circumstances unless you have to. Your life and the life of those around you are much to valuable to risk in such a careless manner. Remember, when filling your gas tank, do not fill it all the way to the top, gas needs room to expand. Stop when the auto fill does. If you are driving with containers of fuel in your vehicle drive defensively, slow down and live longer. Oh and thank you, I feel better now that I have vented. Enjoy your summer.

Supporters show up in purple for Coun. Bell ‘Populism is new way of conducting politics’ by P hil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

Maybe it’s a generational thing that’s causing the tension between newcomer, 30-something Corisa Bell and her older colleagues on Maple Ridge council, suggests Dan Olson. People talk about getting the younger generation involved in politics. “Then we get threatened when they believe us,” said Olson, one of several council spectators who showed up at Tuesday’s meeting. Many were dressed in purple, the colour Bell used during her first election campaign in 2011. “What I see, Corisa is conducting her business in a way that people are not used to,” said Olson, who ran for the federal Liberal party in 2008. Bell, who’s been at odds with the rest of council in questioning the budget and opposing the construction of Fire Hall No. 6, is taking a populist approach, trying to reflect public concern and asking questions. “People shouldn’t be offended by that, added Olson. “It’s unfortunate, some people see this diligence either as a pain in the ass or a threat.” Bell has also been told her comments over the budget at a June 17 committee meeting could be defamatory, leading the district to remove a section of a video from its website and Bell wondering if she will face a lawsuit. Olson said it seems to bother people that Bell hasn’t paid her dues in the traditional way and can’t put label on

her,” and they can’t figure her out. “And that is something they have to get over.” Council and staff should just conduct their own business and answer her questions and let her fail or succeed politically. Olson didn’t hear Bell’s comments made during the committee of the whole meeting from June 17, but says it seems there wasn’t a legal line crossed. The only recipients of such comments are either council or staff, who are making salaries into the six figures. “I say, like – don’t be so sensitive.” It doesn’t mean people can take liberties, Olson added. “If that’s your biggest problem in politics in doing that job, God bless you.” He also called on the mayor to tone things down. “That’s where Mayor [Ernie] Daykin has to take responsibility to settle things down.”

“He’s got to insist on no personalization. He has to call people out of order.” Dan Olson on Mayor Ernie Daykin

“He’s got to insist on no personalization. He has to call people out of order.” One of the mayor’s strengths is also his biggest weakness, Olson added. “He’s too nice of a guy. Now is not the time for niceness. Now is the time for process.” Nobody should take that personally, Olson said.

Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows NDP president Bob Goos also showed up at Tuesday’s meeting, along with former NDP MLA Michael Sather. “It’s become personal,” Goos said. “To me, I was surprised. It didn’t serve the purpose. I’m sort of wondering where does that come from.” He said the move to get people to show Olson up at the meeting came from two or three places. He put a note on Facebook asking people to show up. But it’s not an NDP effort, he said. Bell isn’t an NDP member. He also said characterized Bell as a “populist brand of Goos politician. “It’s a new way of doing politics at city hall.” For former Maple Ridge school trustee Katherine Wagner, who served from 1996 to 2005, said she’s “definitely” not an NDP member, and showed up to show her support for Wagner Bell. “To my understanding, it wasn’t partisan,” Wagner said. “It was basically a show of support for her approach and how she’s been doing politics.” Bell has a more poplulist and Wagner wanted to show that she supports that. “That’s what people voted for … Maybe it’s a lesson. The world’s changed, a lot, especially with technology and the ability to communicate.”

Performance Test

People are watching council videos online, she added. But Bell’s approach doesn’t take away from other councillors’ contributions, she added. The discord, though, bothers her. “When we elect people, we don’t expect them to be friends. I’m not sure that’s a good idea. But we do expect them to behave like adults,” Wagner said. “That’s where are our representation is. We don’t elect people to go behind closed doors for three years,” she added. “I really don’t know what the harm is in questioning, and it’s not personal. I’m sure the rest of them ask questions.” But it’s difficult for an elected person to go against the accepted way of doing things, she added. “I think she represents a modern approach to elected representation. It shouldn’t be personal and it’s being made into something personal when it shouldn’t.” Coun. Michael Morden said he wants to focus on working for the taxpayers. “We seem to have lost that.” Coun. Bob Masse disagreed that Bell is isolated on council and said others work with her. But he doesn’t like the conflict or drama and wants council “to work through the rough patch. “We need to disagree without being disagreeable.”

Notice of Public Hearing

Libraries from p3

In Maple Ridge, it is eight per cent. “There’s danger in complacency, and libraries have known for decades that we are in continuous change,” she said. “Libraries provide community space, and the use of that space will change in 10 years time.” Talking to random library patrons about whether libraries have become redundant is a little like going to church to ask people their views on religion. The people at the Maple Ridge library on Thursday morning are keeping the faith. “I use the library all the time,” said senior Dianne Royal, who borrows six to eight books every month. “It’s free – I pay for it with my taxes and it saves me a lot of money.” She said the staff is excellent, and “I like this library.” A pair of teens looking at graphic novels echoed her sentiments, and both agreed they prefer hard copy over e-books. Asked what they would think of the public library eventually closing, one said: “It would be really sad.” His eyes opened a little wider. “It would affect my life.” Michelle Moises, at the library with two toddlers, said, “We use it a lot, for storytime and reading club, and they like it.” What would if it closed? A toddler with a thumb in her mouth makes a pouty sound to answer for Moises. “There is some concern about what the future will be,” said MacLeod. “We are already in a dual world in libraries – in the traditional print format, and in the digital world.”

“We are already in a dual world in libraries – in the traditional print format, and in the digital world.” Teresa MacLeod, library manager

She said it will likely remain that way for five to 10 years. Beyond that, there is no obvious trend. MacLeod believes the role as an educational resource will remain. And she thinks children’s books, with their unique artistry, will still be popular with preschooler and early readers. “The picture book area of publishing is going to be one that lasts longer than adult fiction,” she predicts. “It’s that warm, cozy, read-a-loud with your kid.” She said 36 per cent of the population of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows has a library card, and that is a respectable number. Last year, there were 360,000 visits to the Maple Ridge library. “It’s an important meeting place, an important forum for ideas, and we’ll still be guiding people to find what they’re looking for,” said MacLeod. “And I think we’ll still be doing storytime.”

Looking glass Someone continues to spread tempered glass in the off-leash dog area at Volker Park. No dog has been injured from it yet, although one is ill after ingesting kibble tainted with rat poisoning at the facility. The District of Maple Ridge, along with the RCMP and SPCA are concerned – as are other dog owners – and security around Volker Park has been increased. Where would one acquire such amounts of tempered glass? Moreso, why would someone want to do such a thing? Off-leash areas in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows have not been without controversy since implemented several years ago. But they have rules in place: owners are responsible for their pets at all times; pick up after your dog; use the area at your own risk; be considerate of neighbours; no glass items permitted. The parks are open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and if a dog becomes aggressive, it must be removed from the offleash area immediately. At Volker, owners are asked to control barking dogs. Noise, we guess, is the basis of many complaints. Dogs are going to bark no matter if off-leash areas exist in public parks or not. But do such pens create a concentration of dogs at certain times of the day as to affect one’s quality of life? That wouldn’t seem a reasonable excuse to harm a dog. Spreading glass in the off-leash area at Volker could result in criminal charges, according to the SPCA. And rightly so, as such lawlessness can’t be tolerated. However, can the district do more to mitigate problems at Volker or any of the other four dog parks in the community? Plant more trees as a buffer? Limit the number of dogs allowed in the off-leash area at one time? Make muzzles or shock collars mandatory? We should have public off-leash areas for dogs. And we can think of worse things to have in a neighbourhood. But if more can be done to mitigate a problem apparently so severe it would drive someone to try and harm dogs, the district should look at what it can do. – The News

A myopic view of Ridge development B

y now, most Maple Ridge voters, even those who voted for the anti-Corisa Bell slate of council members, must be curious about what in heavens (or hell) is going on at municipal hall. Is Coun. Bell just a malcontent or is Sidewinder she doing what every Sandy Macdougall elected member of council should be doing – asking questions and persistently trying to understand the budget and planning processes? For the record, I ran unsuccessfully in the last municipal election and I didn’t vote for Coun. Bell, but I readily admit she is intelligent, has great organizational skills and political will. All of this doesn’t mean she should be shunned and ostracized or disrespected by other members of council, or staff. Bell has questioned the five-year capital plan, in particular, the $6 million No. 4 fire hall expected to be built to serve the needs of Albion and the surrounding area. The fire hall has been on every five-year capital plan for a long time, and was even proposed as far back as the mid-1980s. The location has varied somewhat over the years, as has the estimated cost. What now makes the topic a little more meaningful is the current proposal to extend urban development in Albion and the

uestion of the week:

discussion of permitting secondary suites in the area. If council members and planning staff intend to continue to pursue single-family urban sprawl as the backbone of Maple Ridge’s residential development policies, municipal council needs even more Coun. Bells and fewer development-oriented, conflicted councillors. The proposed Albion area urban expansion not only serves to further justify the $6 million fire hall, but also adds to council’s self-serving plans to turn the Albion Flats into a sprawling gigantic parking lot and commercial eyesore. Maple Ridge council’s decade-long fuddle duddling with the agricultural land commission over the fate of the Albion flats has been expensive for all taxpayers in Maple Ridge and has resulted in nothing having been accomplished. Continuing its annoying habit of tilting at windmills, council has now supported an application to remove the privately owned western half of the Albion flats from the agricultural land reserve, despite consistent rulings from the provincial agricultural land commission that such an application will not be approved. The commission has also indicated that the eastern portion of the flats, much of it owned by the municipality, will also remain in the reserve until drainage issues affecting the western portion have been resolved. According to some knowledgeable folks, cost estimates of properly addressing drainage issues in the area could run into several million dollars, the bulk of which will likely

Are you concerned about home-grown terrorism? Yes: 32% – No: 68%

be loaded onto municipal taxpayers. Council has also entertained discussions with a shopping centre development company to swap the property the development company owns in the western portion of the flats for the municipally-owned fairgrounds in the eastern portion. The development company would then build the shopping centre Maple Ridge council has lusted after for many years. This, of course, would involve rezoning, but once the land is removed from the agricultural land reserve, council will control that process.

“The whole proposal and council’s suggested intentions smell an awful lot like selling zoning, something that is supposed to be prohibited.” The whole proposal and council’s suggested intentions smell an awful lot like selling zoning, something that is supposed to be prohibited. But I don’t think that will slow down Mayor Ernie Daykin and his disciples. They have a vision, albeit a myopic one. Sandy Macdougall is a retired journalist and former district councillor.

Swimming and fishing don’t mix Editor, The News: Fishing at Davidson’s Pool, also known as Hot Rocks, is like casting a line at a public swimming pool. Not only is it extremely dangerous and disrespectful to local swimmers, it doesn’t even make sense. You’re not going to catch a fish where people are yelling, jumping and swimming. On July 2, I was swimming at Hot Rocks, and I noticed someone was fishing. He was using a hook and almost hit various people repeatedly while casting his rod. Once he almost hit me. Currently there are no bylaws that state ‘no fishing’ in the area, but there should be, because Maple Ridge does not need any locals who swim and tube in the area regularly to have an eye poked out or a chunk of their arm ripped off. Some kind of change needs to happen regarding fishing regulations at local swimming holes that are rapidly growing as the population increases north of the Alouette River. I would like to propose a designated swimming area with fishing regulations that bar any fishing within 100 metres of Davidson Pool, or Hot Rocks. The use of tobacco products should also be prohibited to protect the air quality and ensure a cleaner environment along our valuable river systems, which provide an essential habitat to B.C.’s river ecology. Once in place, these regulations should be posted on signage throughout the park area so there is no confusion. Lucas Le Van-Watson, age 11

online comments Don’t want to know • Lynda Russell: Re: Off-leash park plagued by glass, possible poisoning (The News, July 5). It’s creepy that someone hates dogs so much. This is an off-leash park, there are many other parks that people can go to, if they don’t like dogs. I really don’t understand some humans, and humans like this, I don’t want to understand them. :( • Andy Sutcliffe: Seriously ? What the hell is wrong with people. • Brian Hinkelman: This is being done by one of the neighbors of the park. I bring my dog there and I’m sick of this. I might spend a night camped out in the bushes with a video camera. • Dayle Grindley-Ferris: Some people are so sick in the head. They must be very unhappy individuals to adhere to such tactics against defenseless dogs. Shame, I feel so sorry for them. • Barbara Kendall: Looks like the city workers and police should be paying more attention to this area. How about significantly stepping up staff presence here? Maybe some of the ‘dog people’ in the area organise a citizen’s presence and patrols too? Take back your park - and best wishes. • Marc Labistour: Sick. That’s jail time • Deborah Gillis: This is sick. Sometimes I like animals much more than people. Leave our furry friends alone. What did they ever do to you? • Pauline Vandermoor: People need pets.

There needs to be more accountability for dogs who attack livestock like sheep. files

Dog owners can be so blind Editor, The News: Re; Pitt dike trail gone to the dogs (The News, June 21, 2013). I was saddened to read about Angel Appleton and her lambs. Even if you do everything in your power to protect your livestock, wildlife can still get in, or worse, free-running dogs to kill your dear animals. I know what it is like to walk out to your pasture and find an injured or a dead animal. Funny how dog owners can be so blind to the damage their beloved dogs can do. Your sheep mean the same to you as their dog means to them. Don’t they get that? I am sure that if a larger dog broke into their yard and bit their pooch, they would be looking and suing for compensation. Some Maple Ridge history – 30 years ago or more, there were many small farms in the area that had flocks of sheep, goats, chickens, geese.

Also during that time, there were irresponsible dog owners who would let their dogs fun free are night. These dogs would form packs, as is their nature, and would chase and often kill sheep, as well as other livestock. The flock owners would awake in the morning to find their flocks desecrated. They would find dead ewes and lambs in their pastures, sheep that had hunks of flesh missing, many with gashes and bites in them. This happened on a regular basis, where ewes and lamb were so badly injured they had to be destroyed or many were so stressed by the attacks that they lost the lambs they were carrying. The farmers became more ‘predator aware’ and built better fences not to keep their livestock in, but to keep the predators out. Dogs are predators. The farmers of the day, along with the SPCA and the Lower Mainland Sheep Producers Association, through much negotiation, were able to set up a bylaw

and a compensation package for the farmers, who would receive funds from Maple Ridge, or Pitt Meadows, when dogs attacked, maimed or killed their livestock. I do remember a few years back, reading in this paper, where the wise council of the day removed that bylaw from our records. Now we again are under the wisdom of present day council, promoting daylight off-leash areas. Very sad there is no accountability for irresponsible dog owner. One more thing I need to share with you is that I use close-to-the-ground electric fencing to keep the dogs away from my sheep. Last year I was informed by one of the newcomers to the neighbourhood that I need a sign stating that it was an electric fence because their dog bit it. I didn’t know dogs can read. Diane Cougar Maple Ridge

Pick up after your pets, nothing to smear Editor, The News: Re: Off-leash park plagued by glass, possible poisoning (The News, July 5). The person spreading feces around at Allco and Cliff parks is likely trying to prove a point. Even though bags are provided at both parks, there are still a large number of

dog owners who refuse to pick up their animal’s refuse. I was at Allco Park with my family on the weekend, and there were numerous piles of unaccounted for feces strewn about park and its pathways. If every dog owner picked up after their dog, then there

would be no feces to smear. We have dogs, and moved here from New Westminster seven years ago. One thing I have definitely noticed is that here the old mentality of ‘it’s biodegradable so I can leave it where it lies’ is still strong here. New Westminster dog owners were a lot more con-

siderate and picked up after their dogs. Parks and school grounds were much cleaner. In closing, pick up after dog and the smearing will likely end. As for the glass and poisoning, those people need to be caught. Mike Merriman Maple Ridge

Don’t waste money on building more bike lanes Editor, The News: Re: Cycling club has prescription for out of shape, sick Maple Ridge residents (The News, July 3). I found it astounding to read that Maple Ridge residents are fatter and sicker than the rest of the Fraser health region. Where are the stats for this allegation? I see people out on the dikes in all weather, constantly, day in day out, walk-

ing and cycling, old and young. Can we have some actual numbers from the health department to back up this statement? Or is this a ploy to get more bike paths to be built by our scarce tax dollars for the few who use them. There is a new bike path along Abernethy Way that my husband and I use regularly, in the day and the evening, in good weather

and bad, and the number of bikes we have seen at any time since it was constructed is pitiful. What a waste of our resources. Who can carry a cart-full of groceries for their family on a bike? If we want people out of their cars, give them reliable public transportation, that takes them where they need to go, when they need to go, on a regular basis.

If Portland, Org. has attracted only six percent of their people to travel by bike, I cannot see Maple Ridge attracting more. What we need to attract is more jobs, so people can work where they live, enabling them to walk or cycle more in their leisure time. A million-dollar bike path between Laity and 216th streets could be better spent. Joan Carr Maple Ridge

MLA Bing won’t resign Pitt council seat by T im Fit z geral d contributor

Newly elected Liberal MLA Doug Bing said his original intent was to stay on Pitt Meadows council until the start of 2014 before stepping aside. That way, the city would save the cost of a possible by-election, he said. Now after consulting with local constituents, Bing is going to see through on his original plan and will stay on for the remainder of the year as a member of Pitt council. “I believe the community doesn’t want to incur the costs of a by-election and I’m going to stick to my guns,” said Bing, who said he will step aside in January of 2014. The cost of a by-election in Pitt Meadows has been pegged at $15,000. Bing said in addition to saving election costs, he’s no longer drawing a salary from the municipality for the next year-and-ahalf, thus adding to the overall reserves for the city. A Pitt Meadows councillors pay for 2012 is $24,780. He reiterated that his

discussions with constituents since his win in the May provincial election played a part in his decision. He also said that he’s not sure there’s enough time left in the current lifespan of council to justify an election. He said it would take a councillor too long to get up to speed before they had to head back to the polls in November of 2014. Bing said the busiest time on his schedule is now, while the legislature is in session until July 25. After that, he feels he will be able to head back to Pitt Meadows and focus on local issues before the legislature returns to session in the fall. “I don’t think it will be a burden to do both jobs in that period of time,” said Bing. Bing asked council for a leave of absence in early June, but was unanimously turned down. Coun. Janis Elkerton said she didn’t support a leave of absence because she felt like it left the door open for Bing to simply walk back into council and possibly vote on critical issues with little or no input leading into it. “That didn’t strike me as fair,” said Elkerton. “I

don’t think that’s part of the democratic process. I thought that we made it clear that we were looking for an election because all of how council voted.” She said she’s also concerned there could be possible conflicts of interest with overlapping duties working as an MLA representing Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows and his role advocating for the people that elected him as a city councillor. Bing refutes any notion that a conflict of interest will be a concern. “I’ve been on council for the past for the past eight years, so I know what a conflict of interest looks like,” said Bing. “I will step aside from a vote if there’s even the slightest hint of a conflict.” Coun. Bruce Bell doesn’t question Bing’s loyalties to Pitt Meadows, but argues there’s just no way the newly elected MLA can fulfill his duties in the legislature and on council. “No, he can’t do both jobs effectively,” said Bell. “That’s a big job there. He has a steep learning curve ahead of him.” The two-term Pitt Meadows councillor said

he wishes Bing well and hopes he grows into his role in Victoria, eventually leading to a cabinet post. As far as serving the interests of Pitt Meadows, Bell said council would have been better served letting someone else fill his seat. He said there were a number of qualified people who ran in the last municipal election who may have stepped forward. Bell said a by-election would have granted a new councillor the chance to go through the budget process this fall and prepare them for a possible second term. “There are lots of qualified people in the community that can do the job,” said Bell. He also discounted the notion of the cost savings of a by-election. He said the offset in savings from Bing’s wages, as well as other positions currently not filled within city staff would cover the cost of a by-election. Bing is one of at least 10 sitting members of local councils across the province who were elected as an MLA and said he decision is not unique.

Summer can be busy for SAR team by T i m Fitzg e r ald contributor

INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT?

The warm weather is the perfect invitation to head out into the back country for a hike or swim. But Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue team manager Rick Laing cautions anyone heading out to make sure you plan ahead before hitting the trails. Laing said summertime tends to be a busy season for the local search and rescue team, and with its 21 active members also enjoying the summer weather, resources can be stretched thin. “For us, summer has been fairly busy, as we’ve been called out a number of times, including lending a hand in Coquitlam,” he said. Sharing resources is common practice between search and rescue teams, noted Laing, saying volunteers don’t worry about borders when they’re called to help. His team was just put through some extra swift water training and advanced first aid, and he hopes to recruit new members come fall. Until then, the team is faced with trying to make sure the public does its best when heading out so search calls don’t come in. With increased activity in the summer, Laing said its a good idea to prepare a small backpack if you plan to head out, especially if you are going alone.

Rick Laing of Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue on a new boat acquired for the team. Laing reminds the public to be safe on the water this summer. “The most important thing you can do if you’re heading out alone is to tell someone where you’re going and what time you plan to come back,” he said. Laing said MRSR have been called out a number of times looking for someone who is thought to be missing, but really it was a simple lack of communication. Laing also stressed that while GPS technology can be great on the highway or for finding an address, it’s not ideal when heading out into the back country. “Batteries fail and people move out of cell phone range. It’s a good idea to pack a map and a

Be prepared tips on heading out: • Be prepared for your chosen recreation – Being fit enough to go the distance takes physical preparation. Stick to your turnaround time. take the proper equipment, have a trip plan and use reference and guide books. • Complete a trip plan and leave it with a friend – the trip plan explains your destination, the route you are taking, who is in the group and your return time. If you do not return as planned, the friend you left the trip plan with can give the form to the police to initiate a search. • Never hike alone – hike with a group and keep together. travel at the speed of the slowest person. If a person becomes separated by going ahead or falling behind, they are more likely to become lost. • Do not panic – Maintain a positive mental attitude if you become lost. Being lost is not dangerous if you are prepared.

compass,” he said. He also stressed that while having those tools is vital, knowing how to read them is just as important. With the long summer nights, Laing also stressed people should bring extra clothes and lots of water. “If you get stranded somewhere and all you’re wearing is shorts, a T-shirt and sandals, it can get pretty cold overnight.” More than anything, Laing said it’s vital to not panic and stay in the open so you can be found should you get lost. “Being prepared is the best advice I can give.”

• Stay where you are – People who carry on after they become lost usually get further from the trail and further from people who are looking for them. Also, going downhill often leads to natural drainage • Use signaling devices – Blowing a whistle, lighting a fire and staying visible will help searchers find you. help searchers find you even if you are embarrassed or afraid. Remember that animals will not be attracted to your signals. Searchers may also use planes or helicopters, so make yourself visible to them. • Build or seek shelter - Protect yourself from the rain, wind and excessive sun. Be as comfortable as possible. But when it is daylight, make sure you are visible to searchers in helicopters or planes. • The most common mistake – An individual’s belief that “it could never happen to me” is summed up as eGO. By being prepared, you can enjoy your trip outdoors regardless of what nature throws at you.

tine Carter said the project is considered a test project, but written so that it could be applied in other areas of Maple Ridge, only if council decided. Under the bylaw, density could be increased by allowing 557-sq.-metre lots, in zones which were intended for half-acre lots of 2,023 sq. metres.

In zones intended for single family lots of 557-sq. metres, density could be increased by allowing lot sizes of 371 sq. metres, to create a larger number of lots. Zones allowing townhouses could also see higher density projects. If developers wanted to take advantage of any of those increases, they’d pay an extra $3,100 per lot.

That would go into a fund to pay for parks, trails and, if council decided, a project such as a community hall.

‘Spirit of High River far from broken’ Flood from front

Sara became ill shortly after arriving as the air quality, due to the sludge, overwhelmed her. “It’s everywhere. You walk down the streets and it ends up on your shoes. It’s slippery, you fall,” said Nate. “There was so much devastation.” While the state of emergency put in place by the Alberta government expires at midnight Friday, the road to recovery for the people of High River is nowhere near the end. Sara and Nate were prompted to volunteer because they had friends there who were forced from their home. Chris and Jessica Giesbrecht pulled up stakes and sought the safety of high ground as the flood waters swallowed the town whole. But Sara and Nate didn’t have much time. Between raising two young children and getting their home ready for Nate’s parents to move in, the couple had a limited window. They felt if they gathered donations and tried to ship them, there was no way to know where and when they would arrive. So they decided they would take anything they collected and deliver it themselves. Thursday, July 4, they hit the phones, put out a call on Facebook,

Homes in High River have been gutted. and spread the word through their church. Quickly donations started rolling in. On Friday, $800 in cash was stretched when Home Hardeware sold everything to the couple at cost. As donations poured in, totals quickly rose. As Sunday rolled around, it was evident they were going to be taking more than a van’s worth of goods. The couple estimate they had more than $10,000 in donations as they left for High River. They said while families have lost much of their personal items, what they need most now is items that can be used to help clean up – coveralls, masks, and gloves. Items like clothes and furniture will have to wait, they said. While homes may be destroyed, Sara and Nate said the spirit of

Contributed

High River is far from broken. “We were overwhelmed and they were overwhelmed by the fact that people from Maple Ridge had collaborated and brought this donation to them,” said Nate. “We got hugs and tears from people in High River that we’ll probably never see again. We feel blessed that we could make this kind of contribution.” Sara and Nate may have been the people delivering the donations, but the thanks belongs to everyone who made the effort. “It was such an amazing response in such a

short period of time. It was incredible,” said Sara. The couple hopes to organize more relief efforts for High River, possibly a mission through the Burnett Fellowship Baptist Church. Nate uses the example of the clean-up efforts in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, where the initial response was overwhelming, but unfortunately pushed aside in the 24-hour news cycle. “What, we’re eight, nine years past Katrina and people are still rebuilding,” said Nate. “It’s going to be the same thing in High River. The country is very quick to forget because it’s not at the top of the current news. But for these families who don’t have doors, they don’t have a basement, its not safe. They can’t go and pick up what they need because two out of the three grocery stores are closed. The whole place is crushed and that’s going to continue until they get it all cleaned up. We’re not talking weeks, we’re talking years.”

Red Cross Donations can be made to help residents of High River at the Canadian Red Cross online (redcross.ca). Locally at the Red Cross office is located at Suite 5 – 11435, 201A St., Maple Ridge. Call 604-465-5050 or 1-800-418-1111, or by text REDCROSS or ROUGE to 30333.

The new bridge will be constructed using steel and concrete and will be raised above the 200 year flood level to reduce impacts of extreme weather events for properties along the North Alouette River. In addition, the new bridge has been designed to meet today’s earthquake standards and has a higher load capacity, thus allowing for truck traffic to head south onto 232 Street for the first time. The bridge will provide two lanes for vehicle traffic and feature separated multi-use pathways on both sides for pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians. The bridge is also being designed to allow for future expansion to four lanes.

CUPE vote threatens school year by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

and appropriate, we simply cannot absorb the additional costs of wage settlements within our already reduced funding envelope,” said the letter, signed by board chairperson Mike Murray. At its regular twice-monthly meetings, the board has frequently reviewed copies of similar letters from other school districts around the province, outlining their complaints of lack of funding from the province. “The cost-cutting measures implemented to date by school districts are substantial. Adding further unfunded costs is not possible without significant negative consequences to the education we provide to our students,” said the board’s letter. Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton, speaking Wednesday morning from the Legislature, said of the CUPE strike vote, “We recognize that’s a normal part of the bargaining process.” He said the government has been able to get about three-quarters of public sector employees, represented by about half of the contracts to be negotiated, into an agreement or tentative agreement. These have been made under the government’s cooperative gains mandate, which requires employers to find pay increases in their existing budgets. “It’s a challenge, we recognize,” he said. “Our economic situation is fairly fragile, and we need to balance the budget.”

Schools may be disrupted or even closed by labour strife as early as this September after CUPE education workers overwhelmingly gave their negotiating committee a strike mandate. “Unless the government decides to do something during the summer, it’s likely we’ll be out in September,” said Leslie Franklin, president of Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Local 703, and a member of the provincial bargaining committee. She said schools would close, because members of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation would not likely cross another union’s picket line. “If the teachers are out, we don’t cross, and if we’re out, teachers don’t cross.” Franklin said the strike mandate was 97 per cent in the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows local. “People are ticked,” she observed. These employees include education assistants, custodians, clerical staff and trades people, and they have not received a raise since 2009. There are 27,000 members of the union. “And we’re seen other groups get increases. Teachers got an increase, trustees give themselves increases and senior staff give themselves increases,” she said. “If there wasn’t support staff, there wouldn’t be a

school district, but there seems to be a real lack of respect or value for what we do. “We clean the place, answer the phones, maintain it, maintain the grounds, assist teachers, we have childcare workers, do noon-hour supervision … “ She said the last meeting for provincial bargaining was in February. Bill Pegler, the CUPE B.C. K-12 coordinator, said there have been 14 bargaining dates, and now the sides have reached an impasse. “Our priority is a settlement,” he said, and urged government to “sit down over the course of the summer, and hammer something out.” He did not release the provincial strike vote result, but said in various districts it ranged between 85 per cent and 100 per cent, giving negotiators a firm mandate to take action. Pegler said the timing of any job action, and whether it would start with an immediate province-wide strike, has yet to be decided by the union leadership. If the province does give CUPE a raise, there is no money in the 2013-2014 Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school board budget to fund it. The board had to wrestle with a funding shortfall it calculated at $5.6 million. Last month, the board wrote to newly appointed Education Minister Peter Fassbender, advising him that the budget does not include any wage increases. “While we agree reasonable wage settlements would be fair

New bridge to Silver Valley being built District suggests alternative routes by Phil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

The old wooden 232nd Street bridge over the North Alouette River starts coming on down Tuesday, so Silver Valley residents will have to tweak their plans to get home. The new $4.75-million steel-and-concrete structure will be built high enough to survive a one-in-200-year flood and will meet modern earthquake standards. Once it’s complete, trucks will be able to cross the bridge, something that wasn’t possible on the wooden bridge. The new one will have a three-metre-wide sidewalk on one side for people, bicycles and horses and a

two-metre-wide sidewalk on the other. The District of Maple Ridge has been taking to social media to get the word out, especially to non-residents, about the traffic changes. Road signs are up already, explaining detour routes. The district put out its notice on Facebook and Twitter, said district spokesperson Fred Armstrong. “It’s really been amazing how social media has been able to help us spread the word about these sort of things.” As of Thursday morning, about 6,000 people had seen the post. “For us the biggest thing is people coming [from outside Maple Ridge] to Golden Ears Provincial Park,” Armstrong said. “Those are the folks we’re really trying to get the word out to.” The district is sug-

gesting that Silver Valley-bound motorists use 132nd Avenue, then connect with 232nd Street, just north of the bridge construction, in order to get to and from the subdivision. People could also drive north along 224th Street and turn east on 136th Avenue. “The current wooden bridge is almost 70 years old and has reached the end of its life and its replacement is at the top of our priority list,” Mayor Ernie Daykin. GCL Contracting was awarded the contract for the project, which includes improvements to the lighting and drainage and consolidation of the water and gas lines, added Jeff Boehmer, district manager of design and construction. Part of the project includes adding a school

bus route to carry students from Silver Valley to Yennadon elementary. Maple Ridge school district will monitor enrolment and busing will be available based on demand to help people driving from west Silver Valley, Armstrong added. “When the project is finished, then the busing will be removed.” There will be no equestrian access during the project. However, there is an area west of the bridge that will allow equestrian users to cross the North Alouette when water levels are low. The total span of the bridge will be about 35 metres, with no piers in the water, minimizing any impact on fish. It can also be expanded to four lanes, if needed. A footpath will allow pedestrians to cross during construction.

16 -- Friday, July 12, 2013 -- THE NEWS - www.mapleridgenews.com of 2016. “We’re in no position to expand right now,” said TransLink spokesman Derek Zabel. The funds aren’t available, he explained. And talks haven’t even started to rework a leasing deal with CP Rail for track time. The current contract expires in 2015.

It’s the first time Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin has heard consideration of a sixth train. That gives him reason for optimism, he said. Having the West Coast Express connect with the Evergreen Line at Coquitlam Central station would feed riders into the new line, he added. Additional trains could even stop at the Coquitlam station, then head back to Mission. “If we take West Coast Express, I’m not going to go all the way to Vancouver and catch a bus back to Metro Vancouver,” headquarters in Burnaby, he added. Currently, West Coast Express offers five westbound trains in the morning from Mission to Vancouver, and five at night, eastbound. Three of the five trains are already packed by the time they reach Vancouver, and all five already carry the maximum 10 cars. The recommendation for a sixth train is part of the West Coast Express Long-Term Strategy and is based on a study by IBI Group, which looked at future demand of the train. The study also found that some West Coast Express stations could be improved and better used to take advantage of surrounding land use, while additional stations, such as in Albion at 240th Street, are also being considered. TransLink senior manager Marisa Espinosa also reviewed changes to bus service in Maple Ridge. “More people are getting better service in a lot of ways.” She said bus ridership in the last four years in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows is up 57 per cent. But Coun. Bob Masse questioned that number. The percentage increase is derived from adding up increases in ridership on various routes, then blending the increases, he said, and that number could be misconstrued. He said TransLink seems to be listening to Maple Ridge as it writes a new area transit plan for Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Daykin and Coun. Michael Morden also attended the TransLink meetings recently on the new area transit plan for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge. Morden wants more transportation for the money Maple Ridge taxpayers contribute. He wants a way to be found to get Abbotsford to pay some of the expenses of West Coast Express because of the number of residents from that city who use the service. He’s also joining the mayor’s call an express bus to Coquitlam station.

first, I am absolutely certain that my father would have stayed in the house until it either fell down around him or he was carried out of it. I am equally convinced he’d have been lonely and miserable on his own. In the odd conversation my wife and I have about our own future, despite a differing husband/wife role than our parents, I sense the same patterns of thinking. My wife does not like to be alone, and if I depart the world before her, she’s not sure what her next plan will be. But it won’t be living alone in our house. She’s not a compulsive social butterfly, but she prefers company to solitude. Me, I’m banking on being the first to go as I don’t want to think about anything else. But if I really consider it, I expect I will be exactly like my father might have been. I can look after myself, and will likely continue to believe that long after I can’t, and I will likely hole up in my house, save for the occasional grumpy-old-man venture outside to tell the neighbourhood kids to get off my lawn with their bikes, or turn their music down.

I recognize, by the way, that there may be generational differences brought about by certain stereotypes. In my parents’ generation, the majority of the men worked As we age Graham Hookey outside the home and the majority of women worked inside the home. I must confess to being a bit surprised by the relief my mother felt after my father passed away. For two years we had worried about the effects of him being confined to the house without duly considering the effects of my mother’s confinement providing him with care. She had always been around the house and we assumed she liked that territory, but it’s one thing to choose to be around the house and another entirely to feel imprisoned by it. Her decision to go into an eldercare home after his death was, I believe, a decision to leave her confinement behind and be in a much more social setting. Had my mother passed away

recently read that ladies are generally the happier sex in the elder years. Having experienced some time with both of my parents, I understood exactly what the article referred to when I thought about it. Generally speaking, women are healthier than men, at least until a later age. My father’s health declined and he was made unhappy by the things he could not do. A long-time ‘putterer,’ he resented being unable to get up in the morning and go out to work around the house, or to go fishing or some other recreational activity. To be tied to the house was a punishment to him. Women, meanwhile, tend to have a well-developed social network. While men have a social network of buddies outside the home, women have it developed more from a home base and through their families. Related to social networks, a widow has a tendency to renew connections once she is on her own, perhaps even take up new activities that she’s been unable to do previously due to her commitments at home. A widower, on the other hand, feels trapped by the needs of the home and tends to feel loneliness much more deeply.

Meeting and eating at the Panabode Looki ng Bac k by Sandra Borger

ack when Maple Ridge could boast few restaurants to its name, most people only went out to eat for special occasions or gettogethers. Since residents ate out so infrequently, they are more than likely to still remember the places that they went. The Panabode in west Maple Ridge was on the top of many people’s favourite restaurants list. Owned by the Edmunson family, the Panabode restaurant was built in the same ‘Lincoln log’ style as the Pay and Save gas station, which was first built on the property that would later house this popular restaurant. The two buildings were located at the convergence of Lougheed Highway and Dewdney Trunk Road, just across the street from the Haney-Pitt Meadows Auction Barn, on the land where the Envision drive-through

Maple Ridge Museum

The Panabode was located at Lougheed Highway and Dewdney Trunk Road, where Envision Financial is now. bank sits now. The restaurant was a one-level building with a parking lot facing Lougheed Highway. The west section of the Panabode had a walk-up window, while the east end housed the dining area. Melanie Able, who had her very first grilled cheese sandwich at the Panabode, remembers the lovely “red and white checkered curtains” in the dining area, along with the “antique oil lamps” that lined the shelves. The back lawn, which

faced Dewdney Trunk Road, included a seating area for warmer days. “I remember a swing set on the back lawn, and little tables to eat your ice cream in the summer,” Dallas McClung noted. Long-time resident Louise Luttmer added that “there were beautiful coloured umbrellas over each table” in the picnic area. “I always loved that; it was so pretty and colourful.” Known for their Delmonico Steaks, the

Panabode also served fish and chips, clubhouse sandwiches, chicken salad, hamburgers, and veal cutlets. For kiddies, a visit to the Panabode was always a hit, with cola floats, pies and ice cream on the menu. Mrs. Hildegard, who owned and ran the Panabode after the Edmunsons, was known around town as a great baker, and her pies were second to none. Well loved by the people who worked for her, Mrs. Hildegard’s employees remember her with great fondness. “She never fired any of her waitresses the entire time she had the restaurant,” said John Gardner. The Panabode was more than a restaurant – it was a place to gather with family and friends on the weekend and finish off the week with a good meal in good company. “It was a real meeting place for many town folk,” said McClung, “especially for weekend breakfast.”

Popular eatery made way for mall Look from p21

With its ideal location right near the border of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, it was the perfect place for people from the two communities to converge. After over 20 years in business, both the wooden eatery and the humble little gas station were torn down in the late 1970s to make room for the Safeway development. However, no one who once sat under the colourful umbrellas in the picnic area has forgotten their time there. The Maple Ridge Museum and Community Archives is looking for some good photographs of this former landmark. Another favourite local eatery was the Bamboo Inn, and we have no images of that one, either.

The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Vacationing in style at The Cottages at Osoyoos Lake The hot summer weather has finally arrived, and it’s officially time to get away on a long-awaited vacation. What better place to relax with the family than at your own lakeside cottage in sunny Osoyoos? “You might get only an inch of rain a month here,” says Eric Van Maren, partner of Van Maren Construction Group. The company is currently selling the Cottages at Osoyoos Lake, a gorgeous waterfront property with 284 cottages, tons of amenities and a close proximity to everything Osoyoos has to

offer. A wide range of people have been interested, but Van Maren notes that something did surprise him. “Many of our buyers are retired or planning to be retired,” Van Maren says, chalking that up to “Osoyoos is a more relaxed pace of life.” Many of these buyers are looking to live in their cottage fulltime, a serious possibility when the homes range from 1,281 to over 3,000 square feet with two to four bedrooms. With 14

different floorplans to choose from, it won’t be hard to find the perfect space. “I think the number of retired buyers speaks to the amenities that are available here,” Van Maren says. “These are detached homes for the price of condos.” You’ll also get access to two swimming pools, a 7,000-square-foot clubhouse and 20 acres of lawn, on top of the 1,500 feet of waterfront and 500 feet of beach. Buyers with families are also a big demographic at the cottages. Van Maren says the project is perfect for children, who can play on the beach or on the lawn and make friends with other cottage-goers. The location is definitely the biggest draw for those who want a taste of waterfront living without a high price point. “This is the warmest lake in British Columbia,” says Van Maren, adding that Osoyoos is also the wine capital of B.C. and has several golf course within 10 to 15 kilometres of the project. For more information about the Cottages at Osoyoos, visit www.osoyooscottages.com or call 1-855-742-5555.

includes multiple workout areas, a large outdoor deck, a games area with billiards tables, foosball tables and a big-screen TV and, best of all, a huge indoor atrium soaring 32 feet high with trees and a park-like feel. The atrium will also include plenty of greenery and places to sit and relax. Other amenities at The Summit Club include a lounge with a chef ’s kitchen, a baby grand piano and plenty of space to entertain, and a children’s play area on the fifth floor. MThree is located in the thriving neighbourhood of Coquitlam Town Centre, meaning you can easily walk to shopping, restaurants, schools and leisure activities. You’ll also find the upcoming Evergreen Line and the West Coast Express easily accessible, so your commute doesn’t need to include a car. Homes at MThree start in the low to mid-$200,000s for a one-bedroom and the low-$300,000s for a two-bedroom. For more information, visit www.liveatmthree.com, call 604-472-9555 or visit the presentation centre at 2992 Glen Drive, Coquitlam, open every day except Friday between 12 and 5 p.m.

The homes at Cressey’s MThree include overheight ceilings, spacious open floorplans and the renowned CresseyKitchen, with its integrated European appliances, wood-grained laminate cabinetry and quartz composite countertops.

MThree hits a summit in Coquitlam By Kerry Vital

Cressey is rising above the rest with MThree, Coquitlam’s tallest tower at 48 storeys and the final phase in their very popular Metropolitan Series. “The response has been phenomenal,” says Cressey Senior Development Manager Jason Turcotte. “We have a variety of homes to choose from, and people are loving the amenities and the finishings.”

MThree joins MOne and MTwo, which raised the bar for condominiums in the neighbourhood. “Each project has added pieces to the puzzle,” Turcotte says. “The feedback has been great, and I think it’s really helped buyers to physically see what we’re offering here.” Like all Cressey projects, one of the most amazing features at MThree is also one of the main gathering areas in the home. “We take a lot of pride in our CresseyKitchens,” Turcotte says. “The kitchen design at the presentation centre is in virtually every home in the project. People love being able to touch and feel the kitchen they will actually have in their home.” The kitchens at MThree include woodgrained laminate cabinetry, modern undercabinet lighting and sleek quartz composite countertops, complemented by a glass tile backsplash and integrated European

Moving into the bathrooms, you’ll find a luxurious rain shower head perfect for washing away the day’s stresses, in-floor heating (in the main bathroom in the onebedroom homes and in the ensuite in the two-bedroom homes) and large handset tile flooring. The ensuite bathroom also includes a limestone countertop, while the main bathroom features marble countertops. There are a variety of floorplans available, ranging from over 600 square feet to more than 1,000 square feet in the penthouse homes. Every home is built in an open-plan layout to maximize your square footage, and the overheight ceilings add to the sense of space.

REAL ESTATE IN MAPLE RIDGE & PITT MEADOWS

Understanding your house insurance By Robert Prince

hen it comes to buying home insurance, there are a lot of factors that should influence your decision, and price should not be the main determinant. That’s the word from two of Maple Ridge’s most experienced insurance brokerages, which argue that price should only be taken into account once all other factors have been examined. Brenda Kelly, an agent with Johnston Meier Insurance Agencies Group, says shopping by price alone is one of the most serious potential pitfalls when buying home insurance. “The biggest misconception about the purchase of home insurance is that all policies are the same,” she notes. “Each insurance company has its own limitations, restrictions and premiums.” Meaning the cheapest policy isn’t likely to get you the coverage you actually need. Patricia Van Vloten, from HUB International Insurance Brokers, concurs. She also suggests there’s not much point in shopping around for price because most policies are pretty comparable cost-wise. “For coverage and service, yes; for price, no,” says Van Vloten. Both women say homeowners would be better advised to concentrate on finding a broker who is knowledgeable and experienced. The more experience and knowledge the broker has, the better chance the home owner has of getting exactly what he or she needs. Kelly advises homeowners to determine what coverage is important to them, and to ask about the stability of the insurer, while Van Vloten says ensuring the homeowner gets good value by getting the right policy – with the right coverage and the right options for the right premium – is important. Asking questions and actually getting answers is most important in this process, because it’s not being aware of what’s in the policy that usually spells disaster for home owners when they want to collect on that policy. Not understanding the policy – especially the restrictions and limitations applied – is another pitfall when buying insurance, Kelly adds. As is, “not understanding the need to review

Brenda Kelly, licensed insurance broker with Johnston Meier Insurance Agencies Group, wants people to be aware of what is covered by their home insurance.

your policy with your broker each year.” Things change over time, so making sure your policy is up to date is important. Insurance companies are not going to turn a policy sale down for frivolous reasons. However, that’s not to say everyone can get coverage. Van Vloten says too many claims, or a few severe claims, could make a person ineligible for an insurance policy. Kelly notes that having had a policy cancelled for non-payment of premiums will also make things more difficult the next time around. Naturally, it’s not all about the broker or the insurance company; the type of insurance you

can get – or whether you can get insurance at all – is also dependent on the home itself. Problems like poor maintenance, aluminum wiring, poly-butylene water piping, oil tanks and previous marijuana grow operations are a few of the reasons that a policy might be more expensive, have specific limitations, or be denied outright. Once you have your policy, both Kelly and Van Vloten agree the best way to ensure a smooth claim process, should the need arise, is to keep good inventory records, complete with pictures of your home inside and out, plus receipts. Then store them in a safe place. It’s much easier to resolve a claim in your favour if you have proof, says Kelly, and

having a good relationship with your broker means you’re more likely to have someone in your corner should the insurance company prove difficult. The No. 1 piece of advice from Van Vloten concerning the purchase of a policy is to read the policy, and insure value. For Kelly, it’s the same. “If you don’t understand something, highlight that section and go to your broker for answers.”

Kwon in tough in final round

Colleen Flanagan/the newS

Safe at first Jordan Macrae, first base for The Hangovers, just misses the ball as Erin Patrick of Full Tilt makes it safely to first during a Ruskin Slo-Pitch league game at the Thomas Haney fields on Sunday.

Maple Ridge golfer Kevin Kwon is sitting in sixth place after three days at the B.C. Amateur Championships at The Springs at Radium. Kwon was the leader after the first day, after shooting 66, but followed that up with rounds of 70 and 72, for a six-under-par 208. Kevin Carrigan of Victoria leads with a -13, but is just a stroke ahead of Charlie Hghes of Langley. Carrigan is the 2012 Canadian Men’s MidAmateur champion. Sliding down the leader board after an even-par 72 on a Thursday that had red numbers from most of the leaders was Kwon. After getting his round to -4 through 13 holes, Kwon would give four strokes back over his next three holes, capped by an uncharacteristic triple bogey on the 15th hole. Kwon now sits at -6 over and will be paired with fellow Team Canada Development Squad member Adam Svensson of Surrey and Nanaimo’s Zach Anderson in tomorrow’s final round. The final round is set to take place Friday morning at the Copper Point Golf Course in Invermere. The top-3 competitors from the 111th BC Amateur Championship will represent British Columbia on Team BC at the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship to be held August 6-9, 2013 at the Royal Colwood Golf Club and Gorge Vale Golf Club in Victoria.

West Coast boys win provincial cup The West Coast Auto Group U13 Boys Metro Selects won a provincial title that has been a long time coming. The squad, coached by Jason Symmons, Chris Peat and Brian Peat hammered Surrey/Guildford United on Sunday, winning the Provincial A Cup competition at Langley’s Willoughby turf by a score of 5-2. The Provincial Cup win marked the first for any team from the Ridge Meadows/Mission area in past 11 years. West Coast dominated the first half, with a big possession advantage and tenacious defensive ball pressure. Mckenzie Begg opened the scoring with a 40-yard bomb that eluded the Surrey keeper and rewarded the team for an excellent start to the match. West Coast kept up the pressure and Andrew Peat took over from there scoring his first two of four goals to give West Coast a 3-0 cushion entering the break. The second half saw SGU and West Coast trade goals and as time wound down a welldeserved win in front of a large, partisan West Coast crowd. “West Coast’s coaches did an excellent job managing the squad throughout the tournament, evident by the fresh looking side that arrived at the final ready to play, after a gruelling 15 months of build-up to the tournament,” said Chris Begg, vice president of the club, in a press release. “The boys’ ability to focus and channel years of training into a single match was evident from the outset, as West Coast was clearly the better side and played their strongest game of the tournament.” To qualify for the final, West Coast posted 2 win and 1 draw record in round-robin play. They beat first place MSL league finisher Surrey Guildford United on Thursday 3-2 on goals by Mckenzie Begg, Andrew Peat and Rhys Caverly.

Friday, West Coast followed up the win with a tight 0-0 draw with Coquitlam Metro Ford where West Coast’s back four were pressured, but withstood the storm with two amazing saves by West Coast’s keeper Brett Selbie. Playing much larger than his size, Selbie’s athleticism allowed him, out of no where, to get a hand on shots labelled for just under the crossbar and deflect the ball to safety. Saturday was a top-of-the-table affair against the Kamloops Blaze, also with one win and one draw in their first two matches. West Coast handled the weather, played in 30 degree heat, well, and walked away with a 2-1 victory to book a place in the finals. Kai Vockeroth and Nick Agafitei scored what proved to be enough to head to the final on a winning note with Kamloops pressing until the end for an equalizer. To get into the Provincials West Coast pulled out an exciting 2-0 extra-time win over the Coquitlam Metro Ford Revolution in the Coastal Cup final in May to punch their ticket to final tournament. The win meant gold in the BC Soccer Coastal A Cup and a trip to provincials as the top seed. The game was a tight affair with both teams working hard but neither generating many quality chances. CMF had a free kick glance of the top of the crossbar in strong winds but their strike force was held in check by West Coast’s strong back four including Ryan Cordoni, Mckenzie Begg, Bryce McKenzie and Connor Haig other than one fine save early in the second by West Coast’s keeper Selbie. Peat had the best chance to win it in regulation for West Coast with a semi breakaway mid-way through the second half also forcing the CMF keeper into a fine save. CMF created a nervy finish for West Coast in the final minutes of regulation with a break, but a timely goal-line save by

Haig kept things level at 0-0. Extra time saw a different West Coast team take the field who dominated the two 10 minute halves. Caverly and Ethan Symmons who had been in tough against a three-man CMF center of the park formation for the entire game wore down the opponents and elevated their play at crunch time. Peat scored the winner five minutes into extra time on a slick through ball from Agafitei and a neat outside-of-thefoot finish to the far post. West Coast kept up the pressure and Peat scored his second to put the game out of reach with a brilliant turn and volley off the near post with four minutes remaining. Players erupted onto the field with the final whistle and a well-deserved win for West Coast after a second place regular season league finish. Peat also received the MSL player of the year award recognizing the top 12-year-old in Lower Mainland MSL league. This provincial final victory capped an undefeated run for the boys dating back to Nov. 4 and encompassing 27 games which included a 1-0 defeat of Abbotsford’s BC Premier League team. The Coastal A cup win marked the first ever for any boys team from the Ridge Meadows/Mission area, in the inaugural season of the West Coast Auto Group Football Club. “Giving players from the area the best possible development and a consistent chance of playing on top-level teams was part of the motivation in unifying the local clubs under one umbrella” said VP Begg. “The club recognized the need to transition from one run exclusively by volunteers to include professional leadership in both technical and administrative areas to ensure the quality of programming can be maintained in the long term for the future of our players. Famous clubs such as FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich are both great examples of non-profit organizations taking things to the next level. “Our goal is for West Coast to do the same for the Ridge Meadows/Mission Communities and results like these clearly demonstrate we are headed in the right direction.”

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

Maggie Coles-Lyster, 14, of Maple Ridge was flying her Local Ride Racing team colours at B.C.’s biggest cycling event and her first elite level competition on Wednesday evening, the Gastown Grand Prix. There were thousands of spectators cheer on packs of international-calibre cyclists on a short, fast, and cobblestone-strewn course in Downtown Vancouver’s historic Gastown district. “I’m really excited about racing Gastown,” said Coles-Lyster before the race. She had watched cycling idols, like Pan Am Games gold medalist and Canadian Team member Steph Roorda, race furiously around the 1.2-km loop last year when the renowned event returned in 2012 after a three-year hiatus. Maggie unfortunately did not finish the event, but was on to another race in Burnaby on Friday afternoon – the Giro di Burnaby Criterium. Even though Coles-Lyster is only 14 years old and several years away from meeting the age requirement for racing in the senior pro/elite category, she received special permission from the province’s sport governing body, Cycling B.C., to compete in the top women’s category for B.C. Superweek, a week of high-level road cycling competitions in the Lower Mainland, of which Gastown is the centerpiece. “I’m really pleased that Cycling B.C. gave Maggie the go-ahead to race at Superweek,” said Coles-Lyster’s father and coach, Local Ride Bike Shop owner, Barry Lyster. “There’s a positive new climate in the organization and it bodes well for the future of the sport in B.C.” When asked what her race plan will be, Lyster said: “Maggie [Coles-Lyster] is approaching Gastown just like any other race. She will go in it to compete, just like she does with every race she enters.” Even though she is not a favourite to win it this year, the learning she will gain from the experience will be invaluable in her future competitions. And the way things are going for the motivated young athlete, chances are very good that Coles-Lyster will win the Gastown Grand Prix one of these years in the not-so-distant future. • More information about B.C.
