‘no mowing lawns at 9 a.m. sun.’ District of Maple Ridge reviewing its noise bylaw by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter
Maple Ridge council wants to equip its old noise bylaw with some new technology, using decibel readings and noise meters for better enforcement to keep the district a quieter place. The draft bylaw proposes that residents wait until 11 a.m. on Sundays and holidays before starting enginepowered lawn mowers. But those hours could change back to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., as in the current bylaw, following council feedback on Monday. Under the draft law, a level of 55 dB would be set for any continuous noise during the daytime, while at night that level would be 45 dB. When it comes to “non-continuous noise,” loud sounds that don’t last long, the levels are 80 dB in the day and 65 dB at night. see Noise, p9

tion Chief Susan Miller kicked off the protest by welcoming rally participants to her band’s traditional territory. Mike Gildersleeve, who organized the Maple Ridge rally, was pleased with the turn-out and honks of support from passing cars. “We don’t want to be saddled with a fossil-fuel-dependant economy,” said Gildersleeve, a former Green Party candidate. At the top of his concerns is Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. Gildersleeve believes the 1,170 kilometre pipeline will be disastrous for the environment and in-

crease the risk of an oil spill on B.C.’s pristine coast. If approved, the Enbridge pipeline would deliver up to 525,000 barrels of diluted bitumen a day to Kiti- Gildersleeve mat, where it would be shipped via tankers to Asian markets. The federal Joint Review Panel is expected to deliver its final report on the Enbridge proposal by the end of year.
Many protesters also opposed Kinder Morgan’s plan to nearly triple the capacity of its existing TransMountain pipeline from Alberta to Vancouver, as well as the provincial government’s push to ramp up production of liquefied natural gas (LNG). “We expect our government to be leaders in green technology, alternative energy and renewal energy, instead of just giving lip service to this,” said Gildersleeve. “We demand to see some action on these fronts. Instead what we are seeing is this feeding frenzy more LNG projects, the prospect of pipelines through parks.” see Pipeline, p13

Grannies rage against hospital pay parking Fees are a burden to all patients, especially seniors by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter
T
he tune heard outside the Ridge Meadows Hospital was Mary Had a Little Lamb, but the lyrics were vintage Raging Grannies: “Hospital pay parking is a scam, is a scam, is a scam Hospital pay parking is a scam that does the patients harm And Fraser Health just does not care, does not care, does not care And Fraser Health just does not care for their patients’ welfare”… And on it went Saturday morning, as the choir of seven Grannies sang their hearts out, calling for an end to pay parking at the health care facility in Maple Ridge. “People were really quite happy that this is being discussed,” said Oosha Ramsoondar, who helped rally the Grannies for the issue. “We realized that this is an issue that keeps coming up, and there never seems to be any resolution.” The Grannies are a Maple Ridge group that lobbies for changes that benefit seniors, and generally tackle local issues, ranging from the need for new crosswalks to local strikes. “We sing. We have songs that speak to the issue of pay parking and its negative effects,” said Ramsoondar. “As grannies, we dress like grannies, and people stop and listen and are very amused,” she added, noting that the group will often pass out song sheets to audiences. “Doing it [protesting] through song and theatre is not in-yourface confrontation, but still sends a message.”
The Raging Grannies perform a song during their protest Saturday. This was an issue that hit home for the Raging Grannies. One of the members’ father, who is in his ’90s, fell ill, but delayed his trip to the hospital because he didn’t have the funds for the parking fees. He wound up with a one-week stay, and his loved ones left to wonder whether his condition would have been better had he sought medical help sooner. “There was a direct impact on her family, for sure,” said Ramsoondar. The Grannies say pay hospital
parking is a burden to all patients, but hits seniors particularly hard because they are more apt to need hospital services, and they are on fixed incomes. The cost is $3.50 for the first hour, $3 for each additional hour, a day rate of $8.25 and evening rate of $5.25. This issue came into the spotlight in Maple Ridge last December when the local band the Rx Rockers had parking passes displayed on their vehicles as they played a per-

formance at Baillie House, another Fraser Health facility, but were all still ticketed by Imperial Parking. The Rockers got their tickets reversed, but band member Russ Curnew was inspired to campaign against the issue of hospital parking. The issue has received considerable attention in the year since. The CBC Marketplace program did a documentary titled “Hospital Parking Pain.” A survey done for the show found
Ridge may take recycling money, join program District not worried about potential fines by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter
The District of Maple Ridge should just take the million dollars from Multi Material B.C. and keep things business as usual down at the recycling depot. If council votes for that option, residents wouldn’t notice any difference. The Ridge Meadows Recycling Society will keep picking up recyclables from the ends of driveways, as it has for decades.
You gave the gift of sight!
Council considered the staff suggestion Monday as B.C. moves towards making it mandatory to recycle packaging and paper. In May 2011, the province made industry responsible for recycling of packaging and paper, with a goal to raise the recycling rate from 50 per cent up to 75 per cent. Multi-Material British Columbia was established to develop a stewardship plan to collect, process and re-sell the recycled material. “They have said the majority of municipalities in the Lower Mainland are choosing to move to Option 1, which is to take the cash,” said public works general manager Frank Quinn.
Thank you to everyone who donated during World Sight Month. You helped us raise $800 for Optometry Giving Sight!
“Take the cash, see how it works out over the next year, and decide whether they want,” to continue. The revised contract allows any side to bail out of the agreement with only six months notice, and return to running their own recycling programs. Council considered the same option in September, with a deadline looming. The deadline to sign on to the program is now Nov. 30, allowing the program to start up next May. One concern was the fines that cities could face if their paper and packaging becomes contaminated with other materials. Those penalties could range up to $120,000 a year. But municipal engineer Dave Pol-
lock said because of the quality of Maple Ridge’s recyclables, that’s not an issue. Unlike most cities, Maple Ridge residents separate their recyclables into six bags, putting newspaper, cardboard, cans and cartons, plastic, office paper and glass into separate bags, creating a cleaner stream of recyclables. “We feel comfortable we’ll avoid any penalties in that regard.” Mayor Ernie Daykin said the district will be able to cope with the change. “We’re in a much better position than most municipalities. Two other options included refusing the money and allowing MMBC to collect all recyclables, every second week instead of the weekly
72 per cent of patients asked say hospital parking fees add stress to their visits, and 52 per cent say the fees effect how often and how long they will visit the hospital. Another 14 per cent said it stops them from volunteering at the hospital. There were 1,077 people surveyed. Fraser Health keeps all parking revenue, approximately $500,000 per year. That covers $78,000 per year for lot maintenance, and the balance goes into the general budget for health care. Imperial Parking retains ticket enforcement fines, and for “Hospital Parking Pain” the CBC interviewed a former Impark employee who said the company gives its ticket officers the incentive of a commission for each ticket issued. Ramsoondar would like to see a petition taken of all those opposed to paid hospital parking, and the issue brought back before the District of Maple Ridge. Municipal councils in Delta and Mission have bylaws that restrict paid parking at their hospitals. Council sent a letter to Health Minister Terry Lake last month addressing the issue of paid hospital parking. It asked that signage at the hospital inform patients that longterm parking rates are available, as well as rates for those on low incomes. Coun. Corissa Bell criticized the letter, saying it missed the point that people want free or reduced parking. “We really hope council will pick up this issue for people who have a problem paying this parking fee,” said Ramsoondar. Or, as the Grannies sang: “Que sera sera, Whatever will be, will be, The future we must see No hospital parking fee.” pickup. The third is for Maple Ridge to exclude itself entirely from the program and continue collecting recyclables as it has before. However, under that scenario, recycling revenues could go up and down with commodity prices and the district wouldn’t receive the $1 million annually that would stabilize recycling operations. Council heard that the newspaper industry has told the district it’s not participating in the program. Newsprint is a large part of curbside pickup. The newspaper industry could start its own recycling program or keep working with MMBC, Pollock said. If council votes for Option 1 at its Nov. 26 meeting, MMBC will pay the District of Maple Ridge the million dollars. That money then will be put back into the recycling society to offset revenue lost to the program.

DISNEY DRESSUP!
s she sits at the Quality Inn, worried and frazzled, Christina Evanow has just one wish. “I just want to keep the family together,” says Evanow, who lost her home in a fire last week. The family of six had rented a house at the corner of 223rd Street and 119th Avenue for the past eight years. At 5:33 a.m., Nov. 13, her youngest son Daniel woke up to the sound of crackling and what he thinks was an explosion. As he rubbed his eyes, he could see a red glow through a pair of windows at the top of the staircase. He yelled to wake up his sleeping siblings, Jessica and Matt. He grabbed the family’s zebra finches, Felix and Phoenix, then ran downstairs. “He’s the hero,” says his mom, as the Grade 8 student walks into the hotel room after school. Evanow, her husband Bill and three sons – Matt, Liam and Daniel – are living in the Quality Inn with their birds and fish, Tumbles. Their daughter
Jessica, 20, is staying with her boyfriend. Their hotel stay has been extended to Nov. 26. Meanwhile, the Evanows are struggling to find a house that will fit all six of them. The fire that ravaged the 70-year-old farm house, one the first two original homes in downtown Maple Ridge, destroyed everything the Evanows owned. “They are going to need everything to re-establish themselves and restart,” said Pete Evanow, Bill’s brother, who is helping the family house hunt and field phone calls about donations. “We are willing to accept anything. It’s such a substantial loss.” The Evanows have been overwhelmed by the support they’ve received thus far. Liam, a standout football player at Samuel Robertson Technical secondary, got his size 17 shoes. His football team held a surprise birthday party for him at the hotel last week. Strangers have been dropping by the hotel with food and donations, and the Quality Inn is helping store them. Jessica, who is studying fashion design at the University of the Fraser Valley, lost her modeling portfolio and all the
possessions she’d worked hard to purchase with her own money. A fridge, new bed, mattress, microwave and expensive text books were torched as flames raced up the side of the house to her bedroom on the second floor. She was getting ready to move out on her own. Christina Evanow, meanwhile, is trying to salvage what she can from the house and be a pillar of support. Her husband Bill has returned to work as a caterer. Meanwhile, Ridge Meadows RCMP continue to investigate the fire, one of three blazes set within the span of an hour in the downtown core on Nov. 13. Officers have canvassed the neighbourhood for witnesses and are checking surveillance footage, but have yet to identify any suspects.

Hammond mill meeting air standards Neighbours say sawdust coating cars and homes
or ing! f y a od y Pric T l l a C Holida oon. l fer ends s a i c e Sp Of
A cedar mill in Maple Ridge that sparked the evacuation of a nearby homes following a fire has been meeting air quality standards despite concerns from neighbours who report an increasing amount of sawdust in the air. Metro Vancouver confirmed Hammond Cedar remains compliant with its permit. “The last test results show it is in compliance. Our visual observations also show they are in compliance and we’ve received no complaints,” said Ray Robb, Metro Vancouver’s manager of regulation and enforcement. Annual testing was last conducted in June after the Interforowned sawmill fixed its electrostatic precipitator (air cleaner), which Robb said had been having problems for almost a year. “They delayed testing until after they got that fixed … their permit is pretty tight,” said Robb, noting maximum emissions are capped at 20 milligrams per cubic metre and 10 per cent opacity, which means people should not be able to see a visible plume spewing from its smoke stack. Stack testing in June found the mill was emitting between 16 or 17 mg/m3.

A fire at Hammond Cedar forced nearby residents from their homes last week. As for increasing sawdust in the lower Hammond neighbourhood, Robb said it could be from a number of sources, including “bag houses,” which the mill uses to store sawdust. Sawdust can also escape while the mill is loading wood chips onto barges, especially when windy. Bert Pogany, who lives next to the mill, complained about sawdust in August and still believes the mill isn’t doing enough to keep “fugitive dust” from escaping. Metro Vancouver says the District of Maple Ridge did not forward Pogany’s complaint to them. Pogany and his family was forced to leave their home for two hours Thursday after a fire started in the sawmill’s dust collection system.
Including crown mouldings, baseboards, door trims and more.
For the past year, he has noticed more and more sawdust coating his home. He needs to power wash his house and cleans his gutters three times a year. He’s even installed an air purifying system, similar to the kind used in hospitals, that runs continuously. “It’s overwhelming now,” he said. The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety says breathing in fine particulates can cause heart disease and contribute to chronic lung disease. They also aggravate asthma and chronic sinusitis.

The News/opinion News Views
Taking notice One thing that the circus at Toronto city hall has done is raise awareness about the role and importance of civic government — especially what happens when government doesn’t function. Most of the time, people couldn’t care less about who runs municipal hall unless their taxes go up too much — less than 25 per cent of eligible voters typically participate in general municipal elections. Half the time, people couldn’t tell you who a local councillor is, and that’s a shame. By giving up their vote, the electorate hands over the job of electing people to special interest groups, such as unions and developers and environmentalists, which disproportionately contribute to election campaigns and, thus, potentially hold more sway. Could this situation be addressed? Possibly, if civic campaigns were more open, affordable and accessible. It could be argued that voters tune out from local elections because of the sheer size and complexity of the campaigns. They may feel a certain distance from the process, believing it’s best left to others with deeper knowledge — or pockets. To make civic election campaigns more affordable, the provincial government is looking at implementing a cap on election expenses and is asking the public for input. This is certainly one issue worth considering. Electioneering is getting increasingly expensive. Currently, election expenses are posted online well after the election has taken place. But if people really want to know who is buying their candidate’s vote, they should be able to get that information as soon as the cheque is cashed. Unfortunately, this isn’t being considered, nor are caps on campaign contributions because the government says expense limits would be more effective than contribution limits in promoting participation in the election process. There are other issues, but it looks like they won’t be addressed until after the 2014 election. Still, anything that can make civic elections fair, open and transparent will be a good thing because we shouldn’t need a crack-smoking mayor and shouting and shoving matches in council chambers before people start to take notice or care. – Black Press

Two solitudes on B.C. farmland VICTORIA – My late father used to say that if he ever won the lottery, he would “farm until it’s all gone.” It was 1960 when he and my mother pulled up stakes in the Okanagan, where their families had been for generations, B.C. Views and moved north to Tom Fletcher carve a homestead out of a half section in the Peace River country. So it’s a mainly northern perspective that I bring to the latest debate over B.C.’s agricultural land reserve. A dialogue of the deaf has been going on for decades in B.C., where there are two separate realities in agriculture. The dominant voice is always from the southwest, from the Okanagan to the Fraser Valley to southern Vancouver Island. This is not only B.C.’s most productive land, it’s also the place of greatest population and development pressure, where three million of the province’s four million residents live and more arrive every day. In the rest of the province, except for pockets that are attractive for recreational development, farming is a tough row to hoe. These days, people are more likely to be moving away. In our urbanized society, the loudest voices tend to be the least informed, from backyard-chicken hipsters to what I call “drive-by environmentalists,” who
like to look out their car windows at green fields as they motor from their subdivisions to big-box stores. The elderly Sikhs and Mexican guest workers bent over in the fields don’t need their lofty lectures on “food security.” Voices from the rest of the province are seldom heard and quickly shouted down, as was the case at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver. Merritt councillor Mike Goetz pleaded for relief from an Agricultural Land Commission that refuses to release a property that has “grown nothing but rocks and tumbleweeds for the last 100 years.” Similar property next door was released, but not this parcel, blocking a project for five years in a little town that could use the work and additional tax base. Urban sprawl isn’t a big problem in Merritt, which, like many small towns, is trying to hang onto its population. Spallumcheen Coun. Ed Hanoski described the situation beyond the towns, the real rural B.C. He proposed easing the restrictions on building a second home on farm properties. Currently, farmers can put a mobile home on their property for an elderly or infirm relative, but nothing with a permanent foundation. Once that relative moves or passes away, the home is supposed to be removed. Hanoski said a sewage system for such a residence costs around $12,000. Add the temporary foundation, skirting, well hookup, power, landscaping, driveway, and a mobile home that will lose its value if it has to be moved, and the property
owner takes a loss of $150,000 or more. That’s why the removal rule is routinely ignored in rural B.C., Hanoski said. These second homes are the only rental stock there is, providing modest income for marginal farms, and should be allowed permanent foundations. Motion defeated, after a scolding from a Sunshine Coast delegate about people lusting to build mansions on farmland.
“A dialogue of the deaf has been going on for decades in B.C., where there are two separate realities in agriculture.” I asked Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the latest agricultural land review, about a rumoured proposal to split the province into two zones with different rules. He declined to comment, but described the case of Fort Steele Farms, the East Kootenay community’s only market garden that almost closed because the next generation was initially refused permission for a second home. The two zones approach deserves serious consideration. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews.com.

The News/letters MP, oath of allegiance does not expire Editor, The News: Re: Conservatives ‘do honour service of Veterans’ (Letters, Nov. 15). MP Randy Kamp, it would appear that you are simply towing the party line. Have you actually looked into what the NVC actually accomplishes? I served proudly with 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry during the Cold War era, under the Liberal’s dark ages. I was injured overseas and subsequently have undergone two separate surgeries to cope with the damage and pain. For me, over many years I have wore my scars as my ‘battle honours,’ but when the cumulative damage meant losing time from my civilian job, I decided it may be time to request help from Veterans Affairs. I was denied assistance with the reason that, although I was injured overseas, I was not injured as a “direct result” of my duties. Close friends of mine who continued their service and were called to arms in Afghanistan returned with physical and psychological injuries as a result of their service and they are, quite frankly, being screwed under the New Veterans Charter. How do you honour service of veterans?
“How do you honour service of veterans?” Let me clarify exactly how you and your Conservative government are honouring veterans: • The NVC’s temporary programs that you so proudly claim are available, can arbitrarily be taken away at anytime that VAC deems they are no longer a necessity. Programs that, according to your own Ombudsman’s 2013 report, reject 53 per cent of the veterans who meet those program’s criteria. Those programs are only for the most seriously disabled, and they end at age 65, compared to the lifelong pension of the Pension Act. • The max benefit that can be received under the NVC is for 100 per cent disability, which equals $298,587.97 in 2013, as a one time lump sum payment, which is approximately 10 per cent of what an equivalent injury or disability would pay under any other disability pension (WCB). As well, this one time lump sum takes away the long-term security of a monthly pension as previously guaranteed under the old Pension Act. • We have had more than 40,000 troops deployed over 12 years in Afghanistan alone, yet the federal government has closed nine district veterans affairs offices and slashed 450 VAC jobs in July, all at a time when our demands on the system are at a high not seen since the Second World War and Korea. Mr. Kamp, your Conservatives have also filed an appeal in the Equitas Class action suit against the government, stating that they (the government) have no “Sacred Obligation” to care for Veterans who have answered the call and paid the price. We, as current serving and veterans, stood in the face of oppression and tyranny when called. We vow to do the same now on home soil if need be. My oath of allegiance upon enrollment has no expiration. James Allen former member 2PPCLI
online comments Don’t spend what don’t have Lisa Ward: Re: Maple Ridge looking at 3.25 per cent tax hikes for next five years (mapleridgenews.com). The only thing more shameful than these tax hikes is council trying to BS them away with the excuse that the rate of increase has declined. How stupid do they think we are? Maple Ridge taxes are already ridiculously high. Simple solution: don’t spend money you don’t have, especially when it’s forcing average homeowner to spend money they don’t have on unexpected tax increases. This council needs to be replaced with one that’s competent enough to spend within their means.
Pitt council still getting raises Editor, The News: Re: Zero tax increase ‘unpalatable’ (The News, Nov. 1); Pitt council bypasses pay raises (The News, Nov. 6). After reading these recent articles, one can only shake one’s head at the continual ineptitude of Mayor Deb Walters and her three ardent supporters on council (Couns. Doug Bing, Tracy Miyashita and Gwen O’Connell). Bing’s presence is an affront in itself; he repeatedly says he sees no wrong in holding two elected positions, which to anyone with even a minimal sense of integrity is a perceived conflict. The mayor, in previous articles, has refused outright to seriously consider no tax increase; her repetitious comment that this is “unrealistic” shows that she completely fails to grasp the issue and is determined to have her own way, something made possible by the support of the three named councillors. Coun. Miyashita’s comment that reducing spending is “unfair” boggles the mind;
she apparently doesn’t consider it unfair to gouge the taxpayer endlessly to cover unnecessary spending, such as her annual increases in salary, useless indoor pool studies, which is simply a pet project of the mayor, or the mayor’s completely unnecessary posh hotel nights at our expense. Coun. O’Connell may not wish to apologize for her salary, but she is not earning it. An apology is in order for failing to do her job in cutting spending and preventing further tax increases, which is exactly what the majority of citizens she is allegedly working for clearly want, as shown by the results of the city’s own survey, two petitions and numerous letters. Mayor Walters has shown real contempt for the citizens of this community. She refuses year after year to eliminate her annual increase – and her salary next year will rise by over $5,000, amounting to an increase in excess of $24,000 over the past five years.
The use of taxpayer’s money to cover her stay in a posh Vancouver hotel because she can’t be bothered to drive the 45-minute trip speaks volumes about her true interests and priorities.
“Donating all or a portion of this year’s salary increase to charity is meaningless when one recognizes that, regardless of what these people do with their increases, they are still getting them. If she really “worked for the city,” as she would have us believe, she would cover this entitlement out of her own pocket. Donating all or a portion of this year’s salary increase to charity is meaningless when one recognizes that, regard-
less of what these people do with their increases, they are still getting them. And that also means that next year’s increases will be larger as a percentage of the now-increased salaries. More smoke and mirrors. When it comes to cutting spending, we are told it would mean less police and fewer firefighters. Perhaps finance director Mark Roberts needs to be replaced, since he is only playing into the hands of select council members. These individuals clearly have their heads buried in the sand, or wherever. There is absolutely no reason to even consider cutting services that matter to everyone. All that needs doing is to have a mayor and councillors who are honest and competent, who respect the clear wishes of the taxpayers, who show some leadership, and put an end to this waste of money on their personal agendas. Byron Hosking Pitt Meadows
No solutions to prohibition problems offered Editor, The News: Re: Ridge council not pro pot (Letters, Nov. 13). Coun. Mike Morden says he thinks readers can’t tell that someone is speaking as a citizen when they sign a petition. I can tell you that the only way you can sign any petition is as a citizen. I can also tell you that signing this particular petition doesn’t mean you’re for or against any side of this issue. His letter wasn’t just about insulting your readers, it was about his political future. More on that later. I have asked both local mayors if they would sign the SensibleBC petition. Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters said she would think about it, but didn’t sign petition.
When Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin signed the petition, he signed as a citizen asking his provincial government to have a referendum about something that isn’t working. It might have seemed odd for Mayor Daykin to take such a principled but controversial stance when someone might try to take political advantage of such a position. It wasn’t a surprise to me at all as I have seen him struggle with this issue and try hard to understand all sides. Both mayors made their decisions as citizens and according to their own principles. I respect both decisions. The cost of prohibiting cannabis far outweighs its effect on society. It also blocks the many benefits that this industry could bring to society.
Coun. Morden mentions $9 billion in economic activity that already exists within our economy. This isn’t an economy on another planet, it’s money that exists and provides benefits to most communities in B.C. It also provides in excess of 200,000 well-paying jobs. The industry isn’t going away and we had better learn how to benefit from it. Coun. Morden would apply “corrective measures and appropriate resources” to deal with this industry. Sounds expensive and a complete waste of time and tax dollars. Coun. Morden hasn’t offered any solutions. All he has done is list the problems within the present system – the violence, unsafe neighbourhoods, noxious odours, housing decay,
Why I am paying so much for AirCare? Editor, The News: It’s now common knowledge that AirCare” is in its last year of operation, ending Dec. 31, 2014. I have always felt I’ve been overcharged for this program, as owning a 1995 vehicle, I’m charged double the rate, $45 as opposed to the $23, charged anyone owning a 1991 or older vehicle. When checking the frequently asked questions
section of the web site, the answer to the question “how much does it cost,” it explains that the payment is for “delivery of the program” and not for a period of time. That being the case, why are we, who own 1992 or newer vehicles, being charged to have a “program delivered” for two years, only having it “delivered” once? There is no testing done the second year.
waste of resources and so on. All have all occurred under prohibition. He seems to want more prohibition to fix the failures of prohibition, so more courts, jails and bigger government, more tax dollars. The referendum process identifies some obvious solutions, and since it’s an open process, it allows the government to further define and refine those solutions so we can get on with building our economy instead of tearing it down. Coun. Morden did offer one solution. Actually, it was more of a dream: “If I was mayor ...” Sounds more like a nightmare. Craig Speirs Maple Ridge

‘Decibel readers for bylaws, RCMP’ Noise from front
As for noisy cars, motorcycles or trucks, the bylaw sets 90 dB as the level for engine or exhaust noise or from stereos. Noise limits would also apply to construction sites, with limits of 80 dB. That reading could be made at any location, apart from a construction site. If council approves the draft, the bylaws department, as well as RCMP would have to get a decibel meter to get exact readings. That could see police setting up check stops, as is done in Vancouver, with the aim of nabbing noisy bikes, bylaws director Liz Holitzki told Coun. Bob Masse. That didn’t sit well with Coun. Judy Dueck, who said there are other things to be worked on. According to police, most noise complaints involve noisy motorcycles and loud music. But big diesel pickup trucks that idle during mornings are just as bad, Dueck said at council’s Monday workshop. “There’s a lot more noisy things out there than a motorcycle,” she added. “I can say the pickup diesels with the big dualies are way more noisy, to me, than a motorcycle,” said Dueck, who’s also a motorcy-
clist. The new times for running a lawn mower bothered some, as well. Under the proposed bylaw, people can’t start a lawn mower until 11 a.m. on Sundays and statutory holidays, and have to shut them down by 4 p.m. Start and finish times for any other day of the week would be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Further, any noise from equipment, garbage hauling or transportation would also be banned on Sundays and stat holidays. The same would go for power sprayers, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers and chainsaws. Council, though, wants to change that section and allow such machinery between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sundays. Some people use lawn mowers in ongoing feuds with neighbours, but waiting until 11 a.m. is too restrictive, said Coun. Cheryl Ashlie. Most people want to get their chores over with during the morning so they can get on with their day, added Dueck. “I think we’ve got to take into account that most people work during the week,” added Coun. Al Hogarth. Currently, lawn mowers can run
from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays and statutory holidays. Coun. Michael Morden wanted more uniform hours so people can easily remember the regulations. He agreed that the bylaws department and police should have more than one decibel meter each in order to save staff time investigating complaints. Holitzki told staff that any noise can affect health. “Anything more than 90 decibels can be really damaging to your hearing.” Coun. Corisa Bell suggested modernizing one of the words in the section dealing with cars and trucks, replacing “tape player” with “audio” player. According to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, a lawn mower produces 92 dB at a distance of one metre, while a passenger car produces a noise level of 65 dB. Conversation, at a metre away, produces a 55 dB level, while a handheld circular saw produces 115 dB. A revised version of the bylaw will go to a later council committee meeting.

School system needs more cash: report All-party committee sees cost pressures by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter
Local educators are hoping for financial relief after the province was told by an all-party committee to put more money into the education system. “Duh,” was the reaction of Maple Ridge Teachers’ Association president George Serra. “The fat was trimmed years ago,” he said. “They can’t deny it anymore, the writing is on the wall.” That “writing” Serra refers to comes from an all-party legislative committee that has been consulting with British Columbians in advance of the 2014 budget. Of the 10 committee members, six were Liberals Party members, including chairman Dan Ashton. “Sufficient evidence was presented to the committee indicating that the K-12 system is experiencing cost pressures as a result of inflation and aging school
facilities,” said the committee report. “The committee, therefore, recommends that enough funding be provided to schools to meet rising costs and capital needs while ensuring strong educational outcomes for B.C. students.” The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district struggled with a 2013-2014 budget that had a $5.66 million shortfall, and cut 35 positions across the district. A higher-than-expected enrolment will bring in additional per pupil funding of approximately $800,000, meaning the total shortfall will be just under $5 million. On the other hand, CUPE employees of the district have negotiated a wage increase of 3.5 per cent over two years, and even though it will cost approximately $1 million, Victoria has told school boards that the money has to be found within existing budgets under the province’s Cooperative Gains Mandate. No new funds are coming, has been Victoria’s position. Local school board chair Mike Murray said the Maple Ridge dis-
trict did not speak directly to the committee, but joined numerous trustees across the province who have been writing the education minister and lobbying for changes in fiscal policy. “It would be great if we could get there as quickly as possible,” said Murray. The all-party committee appeared to recognize that inflationary pressures have outpaced government funding as it recommended: “Provide sufficient funding for the K-12 system to enable B.C. students to become top performers nationally; and address cost increases for school districts (e.g. rising B.C. Hydro rates).” Aging facilities were also addressed, as the committee advised government to develop a capital plan for education buildings which “takes into account increased maintenance and aging school facility upgrades; and continue the seismic upgrading program.” “It will be interesting to see what the response is,” said Serra. “The system needs increases yesterday.”

Pilot dies in crash en route to Pitt airport Black Press
The man who died in the plane crash Monday night in Abbotsford was immersed in the flying world. Marty Lehner was a member of the Abbotsford Flying Club (AFC), was on the board of directors for the Abbotsford Airshow, and was the B.C. dealer for Pipistrel Aircraft based in Slovenia. AFC vice-president Adrian Renkers said club members were devastated to learn about the death of Lehner, who was a valued addition to the close-knit group. “He was very jovial, outgoing and a bubbly
kind of person,” Renkers said. He said Lehner regularly turned out for the AFC’s TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday) social gatherings at its clubhouse at the Abbotsford Airport, as well as to breakfast on Sunday mornings, followed by a group flight. Renkers described Lehner as a “very competent pilot” who was working on obtaining his instrument rating, which requires additional training beyond what is required for a private pilot certificate. Renkers said Lehner owned four planes – a Cessna 150, a Cessna 180, a Piper Cub and a Pipistrel Virus SW 100.
Lehner, owner of a sprinkler installation company, was flying the Virus – described as a light twoseater aircraft – on Monday afternoon, departing from Abbotsford Air- Lehner port en route to Pitt Meadows, where he was planning to view another plane for possible purchase, according to Renkers. Lehner lost contact with the control tower, and an emergency beacon began sending a signal from northwest Abbotsford at about 4:30 p.m. The aircraft was located
in a densely wooded area near a mushroom farm at about 9 p.m., and it was determined that the Lehner had likely clipped some power lines prior to crashing. The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) is investigating the incident. TSB spokesman Bill Yearwood said Lehner was given clearance to fly in Monday’s inclement weather, but soon after taking off, he informed the control tower that he was turning back due to the bad conditions.

‘Develop resources in responsible way’ Pipeline from front
Protestors challenged Canada’s federal government to create an economy that’s built to last, with energy that is clean, just and safe. Gildersleeve said he hopes Conservative MP Kamp will take the message to Ottawa. “There is a loud and growing voice saying this is not in our national interest.� Kamp did not know what the protest was about, but added he respected their democratic right to voice their concerns peacefully. He defended his government’s environmental record and clarified a few facts for the protestors.
“The facts show that between 2000 and a decade later, that federally regulated pipelines had a very good safety record, of what I’ve been told, 99.99 per cent,� said Kamp. He added the “oil sands� currently accounts for about 0.16 per cent or nearly 1/1000th of global emissions. “Resource development is an important part of Canada’s economy,� said Kamp. “We think it’s extremely responsible resource development.� Canada, however, has been awarded the “Fossil of the Year� award five times for its perceived inaction on climate change.
Meant to be a badge of shame, the award was shared with New Zealand in 2012. Last week, Canada was awarded a ‘Fossil of Disbelief ’ at a United Nations climate summit in Warsaw for its recent public support of Australia’s plans to repeal its climate legislation. Kamp says the federal government believes you can do both “develop resources and do it in a responsible way.� As for taking the protestors concerns back to Ottawa, Kamp said they didn’t leave him any material. “If they want to drop something off, I’d be glad to read it,� he added.

The court heard that the fight was sparked after Kydd took a beer from a table where Daniel Goodman-Bell and three of his friends were sitting. Kydd, a former gang associate, believed the beer belonged to him and was surprised when a Goodman-Bell walked up to him and snatched the beer out of his hand.

The Maple Ridge Christmas Festival and Parade takes place Saturday, Dec. 7. THE NEWS/files
Volunteers needed for Christmas festival The Maple Ridge Christmas Festival and parade are coming up, and more people are needed to fill the ranks of the small army of volunteers being recruited. Putting on the Dec. 7 festival requires about 100 people, and many more are still needed. These people do things like set up barricades along the parade route, control traffic on the route, and set up tables and tents in the park – there are numerous jobs. “We’re always looking
for volunteers, and we’re always looking for donations,” said the event chair Dianne Enns. “We have grown to one of the largest nighttime free events in western Canada.” Last year and estimated 9,000 visitors came to the festival, and there were 45 entries in the parade. But it was a soggy night, and the year prior there were some 12,000 people, and 71 floats. An orientation meeting will be held on Dec. 5, with volunteer orientation at 6:30 p.m. and parade orientation at
7:30 p.m. at the Maple Ridge library’s Fraser Room. The festival runs from 4-8 p.m. in Memorial Peace Park (11925 Haney Pl.), and is remarkable in that everything is free. Parents can bring all their children for hot chocolate, smores, cookies, balloons and even family photos with Santa, all at no cost. There will also be hot dogs, by donation. There will be entertainment on the bandstand ranging from St. Patrick’s church choir to The Johnson Brothers
country act, a children’s craft tent, balloon animals and other familybased entertainment. The parade begins at 6 p.m., running through the downtown area, with most of the viewing in the park.
Information For information, to volunteer or to donate, see the website mapleridgechristmasfestival.com. For volunteer information, email volunteer@ mapleridgechristmasfestival.com.

rebar from Haney Builders, while Prism Helicopters delivered the supplies – which was faster than doing so by horse. First Haney Venturers Advisors and members conducted the repairs, and placed there a time capsule, containing badges, photos and historic details of the site and cairn. Another day hike to the site took place on Aug. 31. The group of Venturers was led by Smyth, now commissioner of the First Haney Scouts. The group left Mike Lake at 7 a.m., heading up the incline trail –a relic of the Abernethy and Lougheed Lumber Company railroad logging operation. After a strenuous hike, the group spent 90 minutes at the top, cleaning and caulking damage on the cairn. This was followed by an investiture ceremony. There are none of the original large batteries left behind after the 1929 trip. Smyth did find a small battery post, possibly leftover from that initial visit. All the Scouts, Rovers and Venturers who have help care for the cairn hope others who visit there will read the plaque and examine the time capsule. They are a part of local history.

any hikers have climbed ‘Mount Battery’ for it sweeping view of the Lower Mainland. Actually named Alouette Mountain, it is the rounded mountain to the east of the familiar ‘Golden Ears.’ This reference spot was chosen in 1929 by the Department of the Interior Geodetic Survey of Canada, along with two other control places on Mount Cheam and Brockton Point. The large batteries that gave the mountain its name were carried there by pack horses to operate the bight light needed for the surveying project. The batteries were left behind after the survey was done. The 56th Alouettes (First Hammond Rover troop), led by the late Bud de Wolf, hiked to the top of this mountain in 1956 with cement and supplies to erect a cairn on the survey site. They returned in 1957 to build the cairn and place a copper plaque there, where it remains. Three members of the troop – Tony Wanstall, Dick Middleton

and Ken Hemminger – went back again in 1958 to do remedial work on the cairn. Over the years, winter weather and lightning damaged the cairn. In August 1999, leaders from the First Haney Scout Troop – Jonathan Smyth and Jim Peck – took a group up the mountain to check on the cairn. They had to camp lower down the mountain because of winterlike conditions and postponed repair work until October 2000. The reconstruction of the cairn involved donations of mortar and

STUFF THE BUS AirCare defenders hope for reprieve for the Food Bank with Greystone Manor Seniors Home
Vehicle testing program set to be scrapped next year by J eff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver directors will again urge the provincial government to continue the AirCare program, which is slated to be dismantled at the end of next year. They voted at Thursday’s environment and parks committee meeting to draw up a new staff report that may offer up fresh ammunition for preserving the tailpipe emission testing stations that force heavily polluting vehicles to get fixed. “Whenever you go to a municipality or any-

place that doesn’t have AirCare you see vehicles with billowing smoke coming out, “ Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters said. “You really see how protected we are in the Lower Mainland with AirCare.” Metro voted three years ago to support extending AirCare until at least 2020, but that was rejected last year by the provincial government, which announced the program would be wound down at the end of 2014. Vancouver Coun. Heather Deal, who chairs the committee, said she strongly supports maintaining AirCare because modern cars, despite much improved pollution controls, can still have emission failures.

After three successful fairs in Toronto, Canadian Immigrant magazine and Scotiabank are proud to present their fourth Career, Education and Settlement Fair for newcomers to Canada, this time in Vancouver. The free, day-long immigrant expo will take place on Monday, Dec. 16, at the Vancouver Public Library, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Every year, thousands of immigrants arrive in Metro Vancouver, with great ambitions for their family’s future. However, many of them face culture shock about the realities of Canadian living — from
$2.95 SLEEVES EVERYDAY
As of 2010, the failure rate at AirCare was 22.3 per cent for pre-1995 vehicles and 7.4 per cent for 1995-2003 vehicles (newer models are exempt from testing.) Owners of older vehicles must pay $46 every two years for testing but lower fees are expected in the final year of the program. The provincial government says air pollution from cars has declined as technology improves and the mandatory tests no longer provide the benefit they once did. Also campaigning to keep AIrCare – and its 110 union jobs – are officials with the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union. Union spokesperson Stephanie Smith predicts a rise in pollution if the program is scrapped.
“We know light vehicles are the largest contributor to smog-producing pollutants as well as ground-level ozone,” she said. A BCGEU-led report warns there could be significant backsliding as old smoke-belching vehicles are put back on the road and motorists neglect their cars’ emission controls or even disable them to improve performance. AirCare is run by TransLink but the $17.5-million annual cost of running testing centres is entirely borne by motorists through fees, so killing the program would not save TransLink or the government any money. Metro is also continuing to push for an AirCare-like program to target heavy trucks.
continuing education to obtaining employment to getting settled into day-to-day life. The goal of the fair is to inform and motivate new Canadians as they begin and continue their settlement journey. It aims to provide essential information and tips on job hunting, accreditation, upgrading of education, settling in and more. There will be several interactive, speakers’ workshops led by experts in various fields of interest to new Canadians. Renowned diversity expert, former reporter and bestselling author Gobinder Gill will offer a keynote address on the “8 Key Steps to Getting Hired.”

B.C. Ferries to cut routes, try slots by To m Fletch e r Black Press
VICTORIA – Sailing cuts are coming in April to most of B.C. Ferries’ minor and northern routes, as the corporation looks to save $18.9 million in the next two years. Transportation Minister Todd Stone and B.C. Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan announced the reductions Monday, along with a plan to begin charging seniors half passenger fares that are currently offered free from Monday to Thursday. B.C. Ferries is also planning a pilot project with slot machines on the main routes from Vancouver Island to the mainland, to test the revenue potential. Fare increases of four per cent and 3.9 per cent are to go ahead in the next two years, but Stone said the goal is to hold future increases to the rate of inflation or less after that. “We heard loud and clear from people in the coastal communities … that fares cannot continue to escalate as they have, and people want the ferry service to be there,” Stone said. Ferry reductions outlined by the ministry review will go ahead in next spring, after another round of consultations with coastal communities to look for schedule adjustments to make the remaining runs serve residents as effectively as possible. The route reductions, feedback

BC Ferries is preparing to reduce its total sailings by eight per cent, in response to rising costs and declining passenger levels. forms and a schedule of community meetings are posted at the review website (www.coastalferriesengagement.ca). There are no further reductions proposed for the main Vancouver Island runs, but Stone said the ministry’s target is to find another $5 million in savings on those routes following reductions last year to the Tsawwassen-Duke Point route. The cancelled runs are mostly early morning or late evening, many with passenger loads of 20 per cent or less. The largest reduction is a one-third cut to Port Hardy-Prince Rupert run, B.C. Ferries’ longest and most heavily subsidized service that lost $31 million on operations last year. Other runs being cut include
Horseshoe Bay to Bowen Island, Comox to Powell River, Gabriola Island to Nanaimo and Quadra Island to Campbell River. NDP ferry critic Claire Trevena said the service reductions will have an “outrageous impact” on communities such as Quadra Island where she lives. “We’re already seeing people leaving communities because of the cost of the ferries,” Trevena said. “We’ve seen young families go, we’ve seen businesses in trouble, and this is just going to compound that.” Long-term strategies include converting new ferries to natural gas fuel and exploring passengeronly private service to supplement B.C. Ferries sailings.

Featuring Maple Ridge actor Ben Odberg, the play is set in Dorfman’s native Chile shortly after the restoration of democracy following the dark years of the Pinochet regime. It tells the story of a married woman, Paulina Salas, who by chance comes face to face with the doctor she believes raped and tortured her when she was held as a prisoner.

Bruins put up 90 points in blowout by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter
In one of the team’s most lopsided wins in recent memory, if not all time, the Ridge Meadows Bruins defeated Richmond 90-21 in shield play on Saturday at Thomas Haney secondary. Scoring even half of that many points would be impressive, especially considering that the Bruins had yet to win a game all season. They had just a tie in seven outgins. But Saturday’s route was like a passing drill for the talented group of Bruins backs, who ran like thoroughbreds past the clydesdales of the Richmond team. Juian Benvenuti started the scoring with an impressive scoring run, as he got his first of three tries on the day, and inspired his teammates. “They’ve started to come together as a team really well,” said Callum McIntosh, club president, who expects to see some consistently good results. “There’s a lot of good individuals, but they’ve started to come together as a team.” Nobody could recall a more lopsided victory. “It’s definitely one of the best wins the men have ever had,” agreed coach Malcolm Knox. He said the Bruins have suffered through a losing season despite numerous good efforts, and despite having a skilled and hard-working team. Then, in one game, everything went right. “A lot of frustration was taken out on the opposition,” said Knox. “It’s been a long time coming.” “It was a barrage of good scoring. Everybody had a really good game.” The 90 points in the playoff game exceeded 84 from the previous seven-game fall season. Watching them on Saturday, it was a wonder that they hadn’t been stringing together wins all year, said Knox. “Their technical game is really sound.” With the win, the Bruins move on the play

The university side will be young and fit – like the Bruins – and present a different challenge to the Ridge boys. “It should be a lot of fun,” said McIntosh.
“They should be younger and faster and wanting to move the ball into space, and not just grind it out. It should be a good test.” Their final game will be played Saturday at 11:30 a.m. at Klahanie Park.
Flames deal with the ND Devils staff reporter
The Ridge Meadows Flames got a late field goal to down the North Delta Devils 10-7 in a hockey game with a football score on Friday

the game and stopped six of seven to get the win. Ridge led 3-0 after first, but North Delta tied the game six minutes into the second, and the score was tied 6-6 after two periods. Ridge then came out and got four unanswered goals. The Flames now have six wins, 11 losses, two overtime losses and a tie in a league
that does not settle scores with a shootout. This weekend, the Flames have a pair of home games. Ridge hosts the North Vancouver Wolf Pack, the fifthplace team in the 10-team league, on Friday night at Planet Ice, at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, they will host the second-place Abbotsford Pilots in a 7:45 p.m. start.

Leading the Toreros A one-time MRSS Rambler is going to be a leader with the University of San Diego women’s basketball team this season. The Toreros are 3-0 to start their NCAA hoops campaign, and Felicia Wijenberg is a big part of their success. She led the team in a 61-53 victory over the Arizona State University Sun Devils on Wednesday, as Wijenberg scored a game-high 15 points on four-of-six shooting from the field. She also pulled down eight rebounds, and was named player of the game. It was a great offensive outburst from Wijenberg, who averaged seven points per game last season, and five the year before that. In the first game of the season against Northern Colorado, Wijenberg had 11 points and eight rebounds in just 19 minutes of play. She was forced to sit out for most of the first half because she picked up her second foul less than four minutes into the game. In their most recent game on Monday night, the Toreros beat crosstown rival San Diego State University 48-45 in a non-conference game at the Viejas Arena in San Diego. Toreros coach Cindy Fisher praiser her team’s rebounding, and Wijenberg was at the centre of that, leading the team with 10 boards, while also scoring six points and blocking a shot. In a big rivalry game, she was second on the team in playing time, with 36 minutes on the floor. With that win the Toreros improve to 3-0 overall for the first time since
