Terry Gregson had plans for a Boxing Day blowout, a week-long sale with deals for budding musicians to virtuosos. Hours before the store was set to open, however, a couple of thieves had plans of their own. At 3:30 a.m. Dec. 26, a white pickup truck rammed through G&G Music’s front door, crashing through reinforced steel bars into guitars, mandolins, shelves of music books and toppling a tower of stage lights. It took minutes for the hoodie-clad men to make off with a load of guitars. On New Year’s Eve, Gregson was still trying to figure out how many were stolen. He estimates the theft and damage to be more than $50,000. “They know you are setting up for Boxing Day and have all the stuff out.”

A historic house in downtown Maple Ridge vacated after a fire in November was completely destroyed in a second suspicious fire on New Year’s Eve. Neighbours called 911 around 10:45 p.m. Tuesday after seeing flames shooting through the boarded-up home on 223rd Street at 119th Avenue. By the time firefighters arrived, the 70-year-old house was completely engulfed. “Crews did an exterior attack

ablaze. “I couldn’t believe it,” she said. Cristina, Bill and their son Liam raced to the property from their new home and watched as flames destroyed what was left of it. “I just feel so bad. They’ve burned everything that wasn’t destroyed before - the other two bedrooms, the stairs, right through the middle of the house.” Since the previous arson, people have broken into the house. The Evanows found a window smashed and the front door open last week. “When the firefighters got here, the front door was open,” said Evanow, who was back at the property Thursday, clearing out the garage.

first, which means they knocked the fire down from the outside instead of going inside,” said fire chief Dane Spence. “The house was far enough away from the occupied apartment building next door that it wasn’t a direct threat.” At the height of the blaze, 27 firefighters from two halls were on scene. Electricity had been cut off since the previous fire on Nov. 13, when the Evanow family, who rented the home, escaped with just the clothes on their backs. Cristina Evanow was waiting for her husband Bill to return home from work so they could ring in the New Year when she got a call from her landlord telling her their former home was once again

Reducing costs

Albion density bonusing, recently OK’d by council, gives the district another $3,100 per lot for builders who want to move to the next level of density.

THE NEWS/files

A study done by the City of Calgary cited in Infrastructure Costs and Urban Growth Management, 2012 (Canadian International Development Agency), said costs of roads, sewers, parks and sidewalks could be reduced by one third, if compact development is followed. When types of infrastructure are identified, it finds that the capital cost of fire halls can be reduced by 46 per cent in compact communities, while water and sewer systems can drop by 54 per cent. Operating costs are also lower. It says that compact growth means that housing is put closer to job centres, which in turn makes it easier to serve with transit and by walking and cycling. But achieving compact growth requires a change in policy and thinking. “Vested interests in the business community, civil society and even municipalities themselves can present formidable obstacles to shifting patterns of growth from sprawling to compact.” It also says there has to be a “strong link” between land use and transportation.

For every ‘burb built, Maple Ridge pays S tor y by Phil Melnychuk

ccording to the finance manager Paul Gill, the District of Maple Ridge needs to change how it grows.

To keep sprawling does not make good business sense for taxpayers. Building a suburb today is a money-losing proposition that will just see costs and bills pile up, said Gill, with taxpayers shouldering heavier burdens as the years go by. Currently, any time a new suburb is built, developers construct the roads, sidewalks, sewer and water lines, then give them to the municipality, once projects are complete. But after construction, it’s the district that will pay for years to keep the roads repaired, the water running and the streets safe. “And those things last for decades, right? And they don’t give us a pot of money to look after that.” Gill, corporate and financial services manager, said builders also pay development cost charges for basic infrastructure, but a new neighbourhood’s costs don’t end there. “I don’t get development cost charges for a police station, I don’t get development cost charges for a fire hall. I don’t get development cost charges for a library,” Gill added.

Silver Valley has no transit services or schools. “There are a number of direct demands like that, that are not provided for through development.” Instead, taxpayers throughout the rest of Maple Ridge pay through continuously increasing property taxes. “If that area doesn’t pay for it, then everybody else does and is that right?” Gill asked. “I think we’ve got a good start with the DCCs. They’re not comprehensive enough.” Most municipalities are now aware of such costs and are now seeking solutions. Gill agrees with Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, who campaigned recently to have the true costs of

THE NEWS/files

suburban growth calculated before any project is approved. Nenshi also maintained that developers weren’t paying the full cost of hooking up new homes to water and sewer, leading the City of Calgary subsiding developers $4,800 for each new home. “Does it make sense to continue to build on the outskirts, and if you build on the outskirts, do these residents pay their way?” Gill asked. Developers will claim that house prices will climb, but the solution is to build in existing areas where municipal development costs are lower. While politicians, always fac-

ing elections every three, now four years, many have short-term thinking. “This is one of these things that elected officials will have to take bold steps on,” Gill said. “When you put a better dollar (figure) around things, then let the market dictate outcomes. “But until you do that, there’s a real cost there that’s not being reflected in the decisions that are being made.” The more that continues, the worse finances will get, he added. Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin is less sure on the costs of growth and the premise that suburbs don’t pay the full costs. “That may get residents up in arms.” Developers today put in storm sewer, sidewalks, sewer and water supplies, and if it’s required to extend the services some distance, that’s all borne by the developer. “Are we recouping the full … it’s not the cost of getting it there, I think it’s the cost of maintaining it, after it’s there.” Should developers pay for the ongoing operations and maintenance of that infrastructure? Daykin asked. “Well, that’s a non-starter, I think. The homeowner or the people that are using that, need to look after that.” He pointed out, half a per cent of residents’ yearly tax increase now goes into the infrastructure re-

www.salveoclinic.ca

placement fund. Daykin said a new approach could be to offer residents the choice of local improvement charges when major repairs are needed. That way, only residents affected would pay for the maintenance.

“Does it make sense to continue to build on the outskirts, and if you build on the outskirts, do these residents pay their way?” Paul Gill, GM corporate, financial services

And increasing density in builtup areas also will require larger libraries and put more demands on police and fire services, as the population grows, he pointed out. “I think there’s room for both [suburban and compact growth].” The mayor said Maple Ridge has already encouraged the latter by offering three years of exemptions and fee discounts for building in the downtown, reflecting the lower infrastructure costs. The urban boundary, which separates urban development from farming and fields, must be maintained. See Sprawl, p4

‘Density will determine transit expansion’ Sprawl from p3

“We need to stay within the urban area that we’ve got.” When it comes to looking at Maple Ridge’s current situation, Coun. Mike Morden suggests looking back in time, such as the decision to allow simultaneous development of Albion and Silver Valley. “In retrospect now, I would suggest that was a mistake,” he said. “You densify where you believe your transportation corridors are, where your municipal infrastructure is.” “You don’t bring your municipal infrastructure to where you want to develop. You do it the other way. That’s the way responsible development is done.” Silver Valley has no transit services or schools. “That’s sad, to me,” Morden said. “Pitt Meadows hasn’t done it that way.” Coun. Al Hogarth, who was mayor when the Silver Valley area plan – based on environmentfirst principles – was approved in 2002, said the suburb is better planned than previous neighbourhoods.

THE NEWS/files

Developers already pay a lot in development cost charges. Eventually, there will be stores and services, he added. The area was planned to allow more green space, creating “eco clusters” using innovative stormwater management techniques to protect streams. He added that developers already pay a lot in development cost charges. Home buyers feel the same way. “How much more front-end loading do you do?” He noted that north Albion density bonusing, recently OK’d by council, gives the district another $3,100 per lot for builders who want to move to the next level of density. As for critics who say the district shouldn’t expand its suburbs, “Numerous times people say that to me, and I would say nine times out of 10,

they’re the people who already live in a single family home that are part of that suburban sprawl. “I’m living in exactly what I’m telling you nobody else should be living in. I don’t get it.” Morden, who’s running for mayor in November 2014, points out that at in five years, Maple Ridge will have only $6 million in the newly created infrastructure replacement fund. Yet, “We’ve got over a billion worth of infrastructure in our municipality,” he said. “Who’s going to pay for fixing this when it breaks? Guess what? We’re going to pay for it.” The more infrastructure that’s added, the larger the long-term financial burden for Maple Ridge and its residents. Instead, Morden wants to review the 2006 official community plan, which calls for expansion

to another area, Thornhill, when Maple Ridge’s population hits 100,000. “The times are changing and our potential cost ramifications of not doing that work are problematic,” Morden said. “If we don’t grow responsibly, we’re going to end up overburdening a lot of people down the road.” He wants the downtown to grow by 20,000, as in the plans, with another 10,000 in the areas around the core area. It also means reconsidering development of Thornhill, east of 248th Street, which will be costly to service. “Is that responsible development? No, it’s not. And you have to stop that.” Morden said Maple Ridge’s population density will determine if the district gets light rail transit or more West Coast Express service. That could be another decade, if it happens. Meanwhile, Maple Ridge will see another 20,000 vehicles on its roads. “I don’t think we’re doing a very good job advocating to TransLink. How much money do we give them in taxation and gas [surcharge]. What are you doing for us at all?”

Do not dial 911 to ask for a morning wake-up call. Or to discipline your children. Or to ask permission to use the HOV lane to get to an important meeting. Those are a few fresh examples of jaw-droppingly inappropriate 911 calls made by Lower Mainland residents in 2013 that offer strong evidence some people are too dumb to possess a cellphone or at least discern what’s a real emergency. The list was released Monday by E-Comm and is just a taste of what staff regularly field at southwestern B.C.’s emergency communications centre. In the number one spot this year was a call EComm’s Matthew Collins received from a caller wanting to rent a fire truck to block off a street for a party. “My son won’t give me the remote control,” another caller reported as an emergency to a 911 call-taker. “Can an officer come over to tell my kids to go to bed?” asked another. E-Comm spokesperson Jody Robertson said people who make nuisance calls to 911 are tying up valuable resources for people with real life-and-death emergencies.

Two people were taken to hospital last Friday after four vehicles crashed into each other in Maple Ridge. Ridge Meadows RCMP said a car travelling west on Dewdney Trunk Road was stopped behind a taxi, which was waiting to make a left-turn when it was rear-ended. Police said the “chain-reaction” crash involved four vehicles and was set off by a woman driving a white GMC SUV. It took place around 6 p.m. Dec. 27 on Dewdney Trunk Road, near 206th Street, outside the Keg. The second vehicle in the pile up – a red car – bore the brunt of the impact. Firefighters had to cut off the car’s roof to remove a passenger. He was taken to hospital. The woman driving the white SUV was ticketed under the Motor Vehicle Act for driving without due care and attention.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Be it resolved The turn of the calendar is a good time to assess the year just past, make plans for the year ahead. One way we try to make that process manageable is by making New Year’s resolutions. For many, it’s almost a rite. For some, it’s trite. At the very least, resolutions are good fodder for party conversations. A recent study by the University of Scranton Journal of Clinical Psychology found losing weight to be the top New Year’s resolution for 2014, followed by getting organized, spending less, enjoying life and staying fit. It’s almost become a cliché that gyms, weight rooms, running tracks and swimming pools report some of their busiest traffic in the first days and weeks of the new year as those who’ve set goals to become leaner, fitter, more active set out to make good. But by February, more than a third of those resolutions will fall by the wayside. Only 46 per cent of resolutions will be maintained beyond six months. And by the time we go through this exercise all over again for 2015, only eight per cent of those who made resolutions will have achieved them. Not the best odds for success. Setting goals gives us something to work toward. Achieving them gives us a sense of accomplishment and the encouragement to push on to new goals. They propel us forward. Goals also hold us accountable. They force us to own our failings and, hopefully, learn from them. It’s human nature to want to know where we stand, to project where we might be headed. To help you get there, here’s some tips to help you achieve your New Year’s resolutions: 1. Make a plan. 2. Write it down. 3. Don’t try to do too much too soon. 4. Don’t get discouraged. 5. Reward yourself. – Black Press

People making changes theme of ‘13 T

here are reasons to be turned off today’s politics – from fraudulent robocalls, to omnibus bills, and endless attack ads. But instead of tuning it out, we’re seeing people searching for ways to make a difference. Leadnow.ca is a Along the Fraser movement to restore citizen participation in Jack Emberly decisions that affect an environment after the federal government’s policy of responsible resource development.’ It screened backroom changes to laws that protected watersheds, fish and habitat. Leadnow says the people will resist assaults on the environment by government, or corporations. In 2013, I noted some doing their part. In December, John Kelly, a retired advisor for B.C. Hydro, drew public attention to right-of-way clearing practices on the Interior-to-Lower Mainland line, where it passes through the UBC Malcolm Knapp Research Forest. It was follow-up to an earlier complaint by ARMS president Geoff Clayton. Hydro dropped and left trees on the banks of the Alouette River in February. Months later, Kelly and forester Cheryl Powers complained Hydro machinery damaged Millionaire Creek in the research forest in June. But in November, Hydro still hadn’t fixed the problem, even though coho spawned downstream.

uestion of the week:

Also in December, I told you about Scott Magri’s determination to turn back time for Katzie Slough, a channel that connects the Fraser River at Hammond to the Pitt River near the bridge. It was the centre of Katzie life and culture before it became an irrigation ditch. Many people remember a waterway that supported all forms of wildlife. They canoed on it, walked along its banks, swam in it. Magri caught coho and cutthroat trout in the slough as a boy. As much as possible, he wants to restore the slough. We could show visitors an example of a community that respects and works with nature. All that’s needed is water flowing the way it used to, and pumps that don’t grind up fish as they enter and exit. Of course, vision and will power are needed. So far, the city hasn’t demonstrated it has either. Yet, others share Magri’s vision and want to make it a reality. In October, I told you about a doctor who died too soon. Clarence Fernandes left hundreds of admirers, the patients he cheered with laughter and good will while ministering to their physical ailments. Medicine and the pharmaceutical industry are all about money today, but there are many compassionate doctor’s here whose practice still reflects traditional community values. In November, I met a young German woman who left a secure job for peace of mind and a sense of purpose. Anna Fieberg was a WOOFER, (willing worker on organic farms). She learned to grow food without damaging the earth. Fieberg was a social worker who struggled in vain under a system that didn’t provide the time to work with clients. Instead of giving up

Should Canada Post continue with home mail delivery in urban areas? Yes: 70% – No: 30%

her passion to help others, Fieberg changed herself. She plans to use horticulture as therapy for folks with mental difficulties. In September, GETI Fest – Golden Ears Transition Initiative – showcased young people that enrich life in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Our youth are involved in many community building projects. Last year, high school students became a part of GETI as a youth coalition that we will hear more of in 2014. Last January, the Idle No More Movement was born out of frustration with unproductive talks over First Nations treaty rights. It was overdue considering Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s pro-industry rewording of the Fisheries Act, the Navigable Waters Protection Act and the Mining Act, which now determined some Schedule 2 lakes could be used to contain mining effluent. The writing on the wall was that the Enbridge pipeline proposal would be approved. Whether it goes ahead – despite the review panel’s rubber stamp – is yet to be seen. First Nations determination to stop it in the courts or on the land could turn the tables yet. “Water is life for our people,” they wrote into their 2012 “Save the Fraser Declaration.” It was signed by 100 indigenous nations determined to make change happen. They warned they wouldn’t allow fish, animals and people to be exposed to an Enbridge oil spill. People making changes was the theme of 2013. Jack Emberly is a retired teacher, local author and environmentalist.

Maple Ridge one step behind

online comments ‘I love my son’ Carol Young Bagshaw · Department of Indian Affairs: Re: Not a fan of the Caring Place (Letters). My son is one of the people on the street there. If it was not for the Caring Place, he might not be alive today. There are studies that show if you housed these people, the amount of street crime would go down. But the NIMBY stops such housing from happening. My son is sick – addicted – and lives in a tent. Do you really think anyone really chooses this life? Any day I could get a call telling me they found him dead in some alley. You have no idea how hard it is for a parent to deal with this every day. But I do, because the pain I see in my son’s eyes helps me to realize he is in more pain than I am. As a parent, you want their pain to end. But I am helpless to do this on my own. Drugs, crime –they are the result of poverty, and poverty is going up in B.C. Rents are unaffordable for many people. More and more will be on the streets, including families. Communities are the ones that need to take the initiative to build special housing for these people. If you housed them, more than half would end up with a job and contribute to the community. The police can’t do anything and the costs to the legal system could have paid for housing many, many times. I come out there to see my son and watch as much of the affordable housing is torn down. There is not much left. However, most of these are slum landlords renting out dumps just until a better deal comes along. These people need special housing, where they can get better. My son is a father, a brother, an uncle, a grandson. I have tried the best I can to get him off the street, with no success. And I keep praying everyday that the right person will come along and he will find some hope again before I lose him. I love my son. I know who he is, before the drugs took him away from me. He is still that person, like all the people on the street there. Maple Ridge is not special. Most towns in B.C. have the same problems. We have a government that is cutting back on social spending and what you see on your street is a result of these cuts. As long as Christy Clark is in power, it is only going to get worse. Her election platform – ‘focus on families’ – is bull. The poor get poorer and the gap between have and have-nots widens. Any of you in the middle class, well, you might be joining these homeless one day. Please find some compassion for these people. I am sure, like my son, they did not wake up one morning and say, ‘I am going to be a drug addict.’ I love my son, and I don’t want him to die.

‘Won’t do it again’ • Clay Bowering: Re: Not a fan of the Caring Place (Letters). I am not saying the Caring Place doesn’t do good. But, yes, because of the drug addicts who they supply aid and food to, I will not donate to the Salvation Army any longer. I usually gave $500 every year. I know it’s not a lot, but when you are a single dad raising your son, it’s a lot to give up. I now donate that money to the children’s hospital. And as long as the Caring Place is open, I will never donate to it again. That is my opinion.

Editor, The News: Re: Ridge council does what it is told (Sidewinder, Dec. 27). I hope that Mayor Ernie Daykin and all the councillors read the column written by Sandy Macdougall. It seems like next to nothing or at least very little is achieved by our elected officials in Maple Ridge. Every new project either ends up in Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam or even in Mission. Our elected people are always one step behind. Who gave the go ahead with the bike lane from 216th Street to nowhere? West of 213th Street, there is no bike lane. What a waste of taxpayers’ money. I believe that millions of dollars were spent on this project. This money was not spent for the majority of Maple Ridge citizens. Here are some jobs for the mayor: remove the high hospital parking fees; repave 203rd Street, which is very busy now as it links to the Abernethy connector. Also, having real estate agents on council should not be tolerated. It is high time this is changed. I am not a real estate agent and have no connection to any. I am a 75-year-old retired person who has lived in Maple Ridge for the last 35 years. Let’s see what council can do for the people of Maple Ridge without arguing among themselves. B. Felgner Maple Ridge

Editor, The News: Re: Ridge council does what it is told (Sidewinder, Dec. 27). I must congratulate Sandy Macdougall on his article. He hit the nail bang on. The only area I differ on is his conclusion. As a person who has been advocating for change at municipal hall for more than 20 years and three elections, I believe there is a considerable degree of political will. The problem is the lack of public support. Only two candidates who were not incumbents were elected in the last election. Neither suggested a change in the system was necessary. In fact, both were noncommittal on almost every contro-

versial issue, neither taking a position one way or other. To suggest a change in the system is necessary will guarantee failure. The thousands of voters who feel the present system is not working stay at home instead of supporting candidates advocating for change with their votes, allowing the people who like the present system and don’t support change, to win. It would only require 5,000 of the roughly 40,000 who stayed home rather than vote, concentrating on four or five candidates supporting a different system to completely change the results. The existing council was elected with the support of less than 5,000 of 12,000 who voted. There were 51,000 eligible voters. To change the system we need a majority of the council to agree with the change. Thus, the need for a slate. This is the reason we will see at least one slate running, probably two in the next election. I know of several people contemplating whether or not they should run in the next election. Most will decide not to because of the probability of failure.

I agree Editor, The News: Re: Ridge council does what it is told (Sidewinder, Dec. 27). Finally, after 37 years of living in Maple

Ridge and reading many of Sandy Macdougall’s comments, when on council and afterwards, I can agree with him for once. Very well stated, Mr. Mcdougall. Thank you. Maybe there is a comeback in the waiting. I hope so. Just sayin’. Jim Harrington Maple Ridge

Magical strategy Editor, The News: Re: Ridge council does what it is told (Sidewinder, Dec. 27). So Sandy Macdougall thinks everyone on council is a toady to a “bureaucratic dictatorship,” does he? In related news, Mitt Romney also seeks to spite those who didn’t elect him so the magical strategy to lower taxes and create jobs will remain his secret. If Gordy Robson is not enough failedpolitician turned out-of-touch cranky old man columnist for this town, maybe he and Mr. Macdougall can make a sport of directing their comprehensive negativity against each other rather than against ‘today’s kids with their libidinous rock and roll music.’ Mark Schultz Maple Ridge

I disagree Editor, The News: Re: Ridge council does what it is told (Sidewinder, Dec. 27). I disagree with Sandy Mcdougall’s comments that the mayor and councilors are weak and not standing up to the municipality and its chief officers. The direction that the district took was at the behest of mayor and council, which Paul Gill, CFO, explained at the open forum on Maple Ridge’s budget. If Mr. Macdougall had taken the time to attend this very informative session, he might have learned a few things about how the budget was prepared. The staff worked very hard to bring down the tax increase at the direction of mayor and council. It’s one thing to continually go after mayor and council, but does he have any constructive suggestions to offer. What specific things does he want cut? John E. McKenzie Maple Ridge

A woman wants to warn others living near Harry Hooge elementary about a brazen pack of coyotes in the area. Paula Balascak walks her yellow lab on the trails near the school and in Harry Hooge Park at 230th Street and Abernethy Way almost daily, and had unnerving brushes with coyotes. They approach very close, within 20 feet, despite her dog’s aggressive barking, and despite her throwing rocks at them. “They’re not scared at all – they come toward me,” Balascak said. “It was too close for comfort.” She said they appear to be “just being snoopy,” but show no fear of man, or the aggressive dog. Once while she was walking in the area, a fire truck driving down Abernethy sounded its sirens, and a coyote close by began to howl. Then more sounded off in the forest nearby. She counted four distinct voices, so figures there are at least that many in the pack. Balascak does not want to risk any sort of incident with the coyotes, and is now avoiding the school and trails. The park is a popular place for people to let their dogs off leash, and Balascak wants them to know that there is a risk their animals could encounter coyotes. “They’re big – they look like dogs,” she said. “They’re a good size and a good weight – and we have a lot of signs up around the neighbourhood for missing cats.” Coyote complaints in Maple Ridge have more than doubled this year – from 97 to 216 – using stats from April 1 to Dec. 11, 2012 compared with the same time frame in 2013. The B.C. Conservation Officer Service also reports nine coyotes were killed in that time period, compared with five last year. Conservation officers say 90 per cent of complaints are from people with experiences like Balascak, who are fearful that coyotes approach too close. They

he days between Christmas and New Year’s can be a quiet time – the holiday rush is over and the turkey hangover still lingers. Except in the stores and malls, where people are made their final exchanges. And at the Ridge Meadows Recycling Depot, where yesterday’s Christmas treasure is now postholiday trash. “I can’t leave my post. I’m on Christmas wrap patrol,” Kim Day said Monday as she paced back and forth between the parking stalls where people drop their cardboard, newspaper, Christmas packaging and bottles. “We’ve got all hands on deck right now.” Day is executive-director of the recycling society and is decked out in gloves and vest and taking a hands-on approach to ensuring drop off of recyclables takes place efficiently and the lineups are as short as possible. This year, the depot isn’t taking any Christmas wrapping paper, because there’s too much plastic and foil and rib-

bons mixed along with it, making it worthless in the recycling stream. So Day is giving polite reminders to residents as they pull up, only to be told by most that, yes, they do know that wrapping paper can’t be recycled. Christmas is the busiest time for the depot as the waves of Christmas consumerism ebb and the debris of the holidays is hauled to the depot. All of the 18 depot employees were on duty Monday to process the 1,000 vehicles lining up, An average day only sees about 350 stop in. The depot is not a relaxing place to contemplate the approaching new year. A tinny radio speaker blasts over the noise of constant smashing of glass bottles and jars. Forklifts groan while a steady stream of urbanites pull up, toss out their recyclables, then take off, ready to start the new year without the trash from the old. Leanne Koehn of the recycling centre says its collection trucks spend longer on their routes at this time of year because there’s so much to pick up at curbside. “It’s crazy. “Once you see it [Christmas recyclables] all together, it’s overwhelming.” While plastic products

which four private waste haulers collect garbage from residential neighbourhoods. Day says Maple Ridge already has municipality-wide collection of garbage, provided by the private haulers contracted by residents. “We have it. It’s just not on our taxes. People have a choice. It’s a true user-pay system.” Day pointed out that some residents just contract to have their garbage picked up once a month, keeping their monthly bills low. If people excel in recycling, they can reduce their garbage pickup costs. “It’s a different system, for sure.” Mayor Ernie Daykin said recently that implementing municipal collection could add another $350 to a homeowner’s tax bill. Maple Ridge though is doing its part to reduce the amount of garbage that’s been trucked to the Cache Creek dump by Metro Vancouver. Maple Ridge’s percentage of waste diversion, as recorded at the Metro Vancouver transfer stations, is about 52 per cent, Day said. Region-wide, about 55 per cent of the garbage is recycled. Metro Vancouver’s goal is to reach 70 per cent recycling by 2015.

marked 1, 2, 4 and 5 are recyclable, such packaging without those numbers goes straight to the dump. Koehn said next year she plans to use decorative cloth bags as Christmas wrapping paper. Maple Ridge’s recycling and garbage collection system is unique in Metro Vancouver. Its curbside sorting system requires residents to divide their paper, cardboard and plastics into five bags and one blue box. The recyclables are then dumped into separate bins in the recycling trucks so that when those trucks arrive at the depot, there’s far less work to do than a single stream system – in which recyclables are tossed into a single blue bag, then sorted at the recycling centre. “It’s great. Everybody knows what to do. It’s great to watch.” Just look at the people who pull up and you can see they know exactly what goes where, she points out. Day says residents support the system, as they do Maple Ridge’s other unique aspect – no municipal collection of garbage. The district’s council, except for Couns. Bob Masse and Corisa Bell, have decided to stick with the current system, in

Local businesses happy with Christmas shopping season Kid Friendly, Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

Held own Black Friday sales

FREE CONSULTATIONS

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Santa didn’t forget local stores and businesses when he swept through town on Christmas Day, ensuring a fair sprinkling of goodies all year round. In one of Maple Ridge mall’s, more people were out spending their money this holiday season than last, although it took until the second week of December to get out their wallets and purses. “I can tell, in talking to tenants, that foot traffic definitely was up,” said Nicole Archer, manager at Valley Fair Mall. That was evident in the lineups to see Santa in the mall, which sometimes took four hours. With Maple Ridge’s population continuing to grow, Archer said merchants saw lots of new faces. “We saw a lot of young families out.” The manager of the London Drugs in the mall said the same thing and noted more retailers are now responding to the competition from the U.S. by adding another sale day, Black Friday, to their schedule. “I think all things considered, with all the different types of cross-border shopping, we did fine,” said Steve Usui. Cross-border shopping has hurt retailers here in the past few years, “But I think this year, most retailers went heavy on the Black Friday.” That day falls on the day after the U.S. Thanksgiving in November and kicks off Christmas shopping in that country. Next year should be better for B.C. retailers as they continue to focus on the U.S. competition. Usui said when it comes to electronic goods, prices in Canada are similar to the U.S. But when it comes to clothing, it’s almost impossible to compete against U.S. stores. Haney Sewing and Sound, also downtown, has had Black Friday sales for two years and

The new Target store in downtown Maple Ridge held its first Boxing Week sale. the extra day helps even out sales over the holidays. “It makes it a lot easier for sales,” said Don Norman at the store. “We’re up from last year.” Greg Sheppard, also at Haney Sewing, said the price discrepancy between Canada and U.S. for electronic goods has narrowed over the past few years to the point there’s only a 10- or 15-per-cent price difference.

“I can tell, in talking to tenants, that foot traffic definitely was up.” Nicole Archer, manager Valley Fair Mall

“Generally speaking, it was a good year for Black Friday and Boxing Day sales.” Large-screen TVs and Bluetooth sound systems attracted most interest. Boxing Day was busy at EB Games, with people lining up in the afternoon to get into the store in Meadowtown Centre, said assistant manager Yeska Marois. The store put out a flyer and put on lots of deals that drew the crowds that resulted in half-hour waits to get to the tills. On the other hand, Black Friday was quiet in the store, Marois said. The most popular item is PlayStation 4. “But we’ve been sold out since November.

They come in and go out very fast.” More shipments of the $399 set are due in February. At Pyrgos Taverna, Georgina Nikolopoulos said there have been better Christmas shopping seasons, in the 23 years the restaurant has been on Lougheed Highway. Many people told her they leave Maple Ridge and do all their shopping in larger malls in larger communities, such as Langley. “We need more development, more business. We’ve got to do something to improve our community.” At Firefly Fine Wines and Ales, manager Holly Stone had similar sentiments, with some days busier than others. But, overall, the amount of traffic similar to last year. “It was about the same. Christmas Eve seemed a little busier this year.” The Jolly Coachman Pub on Ford Road in Pitt Meadows had a

good December, said manager Bruce McGregor. “It was great. It was really busy.” People seem to have adapted to the tougher rules against drinking and driving that allow police to seize vehicles at roadside. And with all the condos and apartments nearby, many people now just walk to the pub. “We had a really great month,” pointing out roast beef and fish and chips specials on certain nights help out with the slow times. The new Target store in downtown Maple Ridge also held its first Boxing Week sale, after opening this fall. Starting Boxing Day and continuing to Jan. 2, the store offered discounts of up to 70 per cent. According to a release, electronics (televisions and tablets), small appliances (vacuums and single serve coffee makers), storage and bedding were “especially popular.”

‘Lack of evidence to proceed with charges’ Fire from front

Police arrested a “person of interest” at the scene following Tuesday’s fire, but report he is no longer in custody. “Due to a lack of evidence for police to proceed with charges, he was released,” said Sgt. Dale Somerville. Ridge Meadows RCMP and the fire depart-

ment continue to investigate the fire, as well as a string of suspicious fires sparked in central Maple Ridge since summer. The arson at the historic house on Nov. 13 was one of three fires lit in short succession in the downtown core. The other fires targeted a dumpster and a second home on Garden Street.

He estimates the theft and damage to be more than $50,000. “They know you are setting up for Boxing Day and have all the stuff out,” he said. The independent music store on Lougheed Highway has been based in Maple Ridge for 22 years and has been hit by thieves in the past. “This is the worst,” said Gregson. “It was a mess this high.” He pointed to his knees. The thieves managed to break in despite the added security Gregson installed after previous

attempts. “It’s boarded up like Fort Knox,” he said, explaining it takes staff 15 minutes to lock up every night, shut the windows and front door with bars, chains and padlocks. Security cameras captured the theft, but the men had covered their faces.

Police determined the pickup truck used by the thieves was stolen. It was found abandoned a day later with Yamaha stickers in the cab. Before they rammed into G&G Music, the thieves hit a liquor store in Pitt Meadows. Gregson jokes they were probably planning a party. “We were robbed by creative alcoholics.” • Ridge Meadows RCMP are asking anyone with information to call investigators at 604-463-6251 or leave an anonymous tip by calling CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Crafty lefty to pitch for Canada Kyle Ross has been named to the junior national team by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

aple Ridge pitcher Kyle Ross has earned a spot on the national under-18 baseball team. For him, the 2014 baseball season will begin in Florida, in March with the junior national team. “It’s a pretty good opportunity,” he said. “And it’ll be a learning experience.” The ball season ends in October for most players, but Ross is still working five times per week at the Langley Blaze’s training facility, honing his craft. Last year, his change-up was the pitch that most stymied batters. But Ross has been getting more feel for his curveball, and has it breaking from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock pretty sharply. “I’ve worked on it pretty hard.” He’s more crafty lefty than power pitcher, but Ross’ fastball has improved to 84 mp/h, and he feels like he’s let some fly that must have been going 85 mp/h, but were never clocked. Hitting the upper 80s is his goal – scouts appreciate pitchers who throw hard. Ross is doing a lot of long toss to build up his arm strength. There’s lots of time to improve. “I’ve got all of this year, and all of next year, too.” His approach on the mound jibes well with the philosophy of manager Doug Mathieson, who coaches him with the Langley Blaze. “He’s all about throwing strikes. When you get behind, that’s when you’re in trouble, and they start hitting you.” Ross was the rookie of the year in the B.C. Premier Baseball League, and the team leader for the Blaze. In 10 starts this past season, he pitched four complete games,

Kyle Ross was the ace of the staff for the Langley Blaze and rookie of the year in the B.C. Premier Baseball League last year. His stock as a prospect continues to rise, as he has been named to Team Canada. a team-high 62.1 innings, and had a team-high nine wins, with just one loss. He also had a 1.68 earned run average. He didn’t strike out a lot of batters, just 32, but kept runners off the bases by allowing only 47 hits and just 15 walks. The BCPBL has been called the

best high school league in the country, and Ross was a dominant pitcher in his Grade 10 year. He has two more years to be the ace of the staff for an organization that has churned out baseball prospects, including some drafted into the major leagues. He and another Maple Ridge

ball player with the Blaze, outfielder Andre Pelletier, both made Team B.C. last year, and it was during the national tournament that Ross made the national team, Ross said four of his Blaze teammates – two pitchers and two hitters – have also made the national junior team.

The top team in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League put an end to the winning streak by the hottest club, as the Aldergrove Kodiaks downed the Ridge Meadows Flames 3-1 on Wednesday. It had been more than a month since the Ridge Meadows Flames lost a game. The Flames stretched their unbeaten streak to eight games with a 4-1 win over the Delta Ice Hawks on Saturday. Goaltender Tyler Read allowed one goal on 27 shots, and Jake Holland had two goals and an assist on the weekend. Other goals came from Jordan Rendle and Michael Bell, while Dale Howell had two assists. The Flames also defeated the league-leading Kodiaks by a score of 3-2 on Dec. 20. Ridge had them down 2-0, but Aldergrove scored on two late power plays to tie the contest. Holland was the overtime hero and the first star of the game. Rendle and Boston Colley were the other scorers. Read stopped 42 of 44 shots. Prior to Wednesday, the Flames hadn’t lost since Nov. 23. That has been followed by a stretch of seven wins, two of them in overtime, and a tie. In that eight-game run, the Flames allowed only 11 goals against, while scoring 29. The local junior B team is now 13-13-3-2 (W-L-OL-T), and after a slow start now has 31 points in 30 games. • Today (Friday) the Flames host their north Fraser neighbours, the Mission City Outlaws, at 7:30 p.m.

The Pitt Meadows Marauders faced some of the best teams in the Pasadena area at the San Gabriel tournament, and went 2-2 for the holiday trip to California. The Marauders first faced eventual finalist Bonita. They had caught a flight in the wee hours of Boxing Day morning, and were forced to sleep two or three hours on a conference room floor when their rooms weren’t ready. The team learned the pitfalls of travelling, as they lost 52-25 to a Bonita team which ran a well executed match-up zone defence. Graham

Smith managed 10 points and 11 rebounds in that game. Pitt next faced Arcadia in a backand-forth game, as they tried every defence in the book to stop the Marauders. Arcadia took the lead with two minutes to go, but the Marauders stormed back and won on a layup by Elijah Lapurga. The 52-51 final stunned the Americans. Smith had 27 points and 12 rebounds, and Mark Ashamalla added six points. In Game 3, Monrovia was ready for Smith, who was held to 15 and 10 rebounds. Lapurga stepped up

with three big treys for nine points, and Ashamalla and Hakeem Wewala each contributed eight. Pitt held on in the last few seconds and won 49-45. The last game was against Gabrielino. Scoring was at a premium as the referees were not to kind, allowing a physicality greater than Pitt has seen to date. Pitt trailed by a point at half, but could never quite find the solution to the bigger stronger Gabrielino team and d lost 49-36.

New president takes minor lacrosse into 2014 Goal is to keeping growing the club

By Neil Corbett, staff reporter

The new president of the Ridge Meadows

Burrards minor lacrosse association said his job is to try and keep improving an organization

A word from a

that has been on an upswing. Ron Williams was a coach in the association,

Resident.

n Ken Gibso

and later held the head coach position on the executive, responsible for recruiting, training and overseeing the Burrards’ bench bosses. He was off the executive last year, but returns with the top job. Williams said his job is to continue the good work of past-president Lance Andre and the outgoing executive, which he praised for growing the association to where it is the second largest in the province – behind only Coquitlam, which is one of the country’s great lacrosse hotbeds. There were 520 local kids playing box lacrosse last year, and another 150 signed up for field lacrosse. “The last executive did a really good job of moving us from a smaller club to where we are today,” Williams said. Not only that, Maple Ridge teams are known as tough to beat. Burrard teams won more medals at the provincial level than any other club, and that included gold medals in the bantam A1 and bantam female divisions. He notes there were 12 girls from the Burrards playing for Team B.C. With 100 girls playing, and six teams, it has been an area of growth for the association. “We’ve had some huge successes with that.” Lacrosse also remains a comparatively affordable sport.

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

New president Ron Williams inherits a Ridge Meadows Minor Lacrosse association that has enjoyed impressive growth in recent years. Mini-tykes, the youngest level for kids born in 2008 and 2009, can try their first season for $125. That rises to $255 for midgets (1998-1999). “My goal is to make people feel more involved and connected in the club, and make it more cohesive,” said Williams. “I want to really try to make it more open – like everyone thinks it’s their club.” Williams said Andre is a personal friend, and remains a valuable resource to the Burrards. “He’s helpful and still

very involved,” he said. “He’s knowledgeable in all areas of the club, and lacrosse in general.” Andre remains the president of the Burrards’ Western Lacrosse Association team. The Burrards are running field lacrosse at present, but the box season is already gearing up – the deadline for coaching applications is the end of this month. Boxla rep tryouts will come in February, and the season starts in April. • Registration is open, and information is available online at www.rmburrards.com.

MURRAY, Thomas Reeb (Tom) It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of a great man. Tom lost his battle with cancer on Dec 15th at the age of 73. A celebration of his life will be held at Pitt Meadows United Church on Harris Rd., on Jan 4th @1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, a donation to S.D. #42 (Bursary Fund) in Tom’s name would be welcomed.

BIRTHS

Randolph (Randy) Franklin, a long-time resident of Ladner, B.C., passed away peacefully on Dec. 14, 2013, at Vancouver General Hospital after a long battle with a genetic lung disorder, including a lung transplant. He is survived by his daughter, Melissa, and sons Daniel and Thomas, his brother Gregory Franklin, his wife Mot, and is predeceased by his parents Reginald (Reg) and Millicent (Millie) Franklin. Randy was passionate about his family and his community. Like his parents, he had a volunteer spirit, and was active in South Delta Rams football and Delta community policing. He was charming, fun and when it came to his lung condition, very much a fighter. Randy grew up in Maple Ridge and still counted many family and friends in that community. A celebration of his life will be held on Sunday, January 5 at 2 pm at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn, Delta (1665 56th St.). In lieu of flowers, donations are welcome to a family trust set up by the South Delta Rams (www.sdramsfootball.com) in the name Franklin Family Trust - VanCity acct #25353.
