Pursuing it for industrial development is ‘risk-filled’ by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Maple Ridge council is keeping the Pelton tree nursery property as one option for growing its industrial base. The land on the northeast corner of 203rd Street and Golden Ears Way – more than 250 acres, all in the Agricultural Land Reserve – is one of eight areas eyed for commercial/industrial use as the district tries to broaden its tax base. A staff report on the Pelton property says its “prime location” on the road leading to the Golden Ears Bridge should be considered a “long-term venture,” if the seven other areas have been ruled out. Much of that Pelton land was sought for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve in 2010, but the was application was rejected. Proximity to the bridge was said to be no justification for removing farmland. See Pelton, p3

Urban poachers injure deer Buck shot with a crossbow, but arrow stuck in its side by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter

Horsemen’s Park, off 224th Street, since Thursday. “It is extremely wounded and will eventually end up dying a slow and painful death,” said Mark Isaaks, who spotted the deer on his property last week. “The arrow has broken off now and there’s yellow puss oozing out of the wound.” Isaaks recently spotted men dressed in camouflage and armed with cross-bows walking through the park and private property. He wants his neighbours to watch out for “these villains.”

Hunting is prohibited within urban boundaries, but the ban does little to deter poachers bent on breaking the law. Isaaks used to see four bucks and five does on his five-acre property off 227th Street, near Abernethy Way, but the population has since dwindled to two deer. “It bothers me to know that people are hunting early in the mornings even before we get up to go to work,” said Isaaks, who is frustrated that conservation officers haven’t euthanized the deer. “If we were all watching, then

this wouldn’t happen.” His neighbour, Karen Morris, who managed to snap a photograph of the injured buck, also wants the conservation service to intervene. “The deer seems to be quite sick as when he walks he throws up. This deer should be put down, but we have not heard back from [conservation],” she added. B.C. Conservation Services reports officers are aware of the injured deer and have tried to locate him.

Support for RapidBus E-line study Three mayors to make own case to TransLink by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Costs for a study to look at a RapidBus system from Maple Ridge to the Evergreen SkyTrain in Coquitlam will be split, either four or three ways. Regardless, mayors don’t want the lack of a study to sideline the chance of hooking local commuters into the new system, which starts in 2016. “If the three of us do it, we can come up with the details, the arguments and can go with our own case to TransLink, with the facts and figures in hand,” Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said. “I feel we have a much better chance of success.” That would entail Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and Port Coquitlam agreeing to share the costs of the study. Mayors from the three municipalities discussed in December lobbying TransLink to build the line along Lougheed Highway. A RapidBus, whether in its own lanes or mixing with traffic, could speed commuters from downtown Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, with just a few stops along the way, to the new SkyTrain station at Coquitlam Central Station. PoCo Mayor Greg Moore believes TransLink would share in

chief administrators from each municipality are discussing it. Daykin said part of the request for starting the service will be coming up with some kind of funding formula to pay for it. That could entail tapping developers who profit from higher land values that occur when rapid transit arrives. “It’s part of what our pitch will be.” TransLink’s 30-year Regional Transportation Strategy identifies RapidBus on Lougheed Highway connecting the three communities. Part of the challenge will be finding enough room for a RapidBus lane, which can have either its own lane or have traffic signal priority and share space with cars. A westbound bus and high-occupancy vehicle lane was added to the north side of Lougheed Highway in 2010, between 200th Street and the Pitt River Bridge.

“Traffic is our No. 1 issue. It is top of mind.” Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters Contributed

The Evergreen line is to be in service by Summer 2016. the cost. Terms of reference for the study haven’t been set, so cost isn’t yet known. Daykin said he and Moore talked about a RapidBus link a year ago. “What will make it viable is all

three of us working.” Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters would support a study. “It’s certainly something we want to do for our residents. It’s a matter of putting something in our budget and it’s not in our budget.”

But council has to approve that, the cost of a study, she said. And she’d expect most on council to do so. “Traffic is our No. 1 issue. It is top of mind.” She didn’t know when the issue will come to council, but said

Moore said previously that the Lougheed does have “significant right of ways” from Maple Ridge to Coquitlam and RapidBus can work within existing road rightof-ways and over major utilities without having to move them, reducing cost.

We need to exhaust every other option we have: mayor Pelton from front

The staff report says pursuing the Pelton property for industrial use is a “risk-filled strategy” that would require Metro Vancouver approval to change its regional plan, which sets out urban boundaries for each municipality. “I’m fine with leaving it as part of the discussion, but I think we have to be really careful,” Mayor Ernie Daykin said at council’s Monday workshop. All of council voted to consider the land for ALR removal. “It may have some potential, but I think we need to exhaust every other option that we have … and not be reliant this will happen.” Coun. Cheryl Ashlie wanted the Pelton area to be limited to agricultural or industrial uses, saying the area is highly regarded as farmland and that the public only would support

agricultural-type uses. However, the rest of council didn’t want to limit any possible use. “This probably is the primeest location closet to markets and transportation corridors. For those reasons, it needs to stay in the plan,” said Coun. Michael Morden. “I’m not in favour of specifying what this might look like.” Coun. Al Hogarth also wanted the land to be part on the list of future industrial areas, noting the provincial review of the Agricultural Land Reserve by the provincial government could lead to another exclusion application. Councillors didn’t like the label “industrial,” though, when considering future areas, because of connotations of smoke stacks and heavy industry. “As soon as you use the term industrial, it brings up a whole

bunch of thought processes for people,” said Hogarth. However, that’s the term used by Metro Vancouver in its long-term plan, which identifies areas for such use. Industrial now more often means business park, light industry or commercial areas, council heard. And changing the term could make it confusing for the public about what actually is being considered, said Ashlie. “We know what industrial is. We just have to make sure we tell the public what it is.” Council has already told staff to look at four other areas as possible locations for business parks or light industry. Those areas: • 28 acres of Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure property on Lougheed Highway, just west of Kanaka Way; • 60 acres at 128th Avenue

and 232nd Street; • 13 acres on Lougheed Highway, near Kwantlen First Nations reserve; • Thornhill urban reserve, balancing industrial with residential use as development occurs. Monday, council approved checking out other areas for light industrial use: 84 acres on Albion flats, east of 105th Avenue; developing a small commercial area on 248th Street and Dewdney Trunk Road; and, 84 acres in the Albion industrial area, south of Lougheed Highway. Hogarth, a realtor, also wanted to create an area plan to create more dense subdivisions in the 248th Street and Dewdney Trunk Road area, where acreages now predominate. “I actually think we can take an area that’s full of urban sprawl, or the epitome of urban sprawl. I think we can turn

it into a model neighbourhood with more than just 20,000 sq. feet [commercial]. “It isn’t functioning as a true neighbourhood.” But Ashlie said council already rejected expanding its urban area and allowing development there. “We can’t change that today,” said the mayor. Council disagreed with a staff suggestion that an incentive plan be developed to encourage growth in the Albion industrial area. Staff also suggested that property owners be consulted before a concept is created for the area. However, Bell said the plan should be created first then presented to the owners. Staff have already met property owners. “I feel that we as council should be setting the direction,” Bell said. “I don’t know at what point

we decided to give so much control to the property owners down there.” But public works general manager Frank Quinn said property owners have to support the plan otherwise it’s “doomed for failure.” Hogarth, though, suggested industry could move out of Albion flats and locate on Kwantlen First Nations reserve land farther east on Lougheed Highway. Staff will come back with an overall strategy, but not before council again discusses the options. According to Metro Vancouver, Maple Ridge is projected to double its number of jobs from 23,000 in 2006 to 48,000 in 2041. “We don’t want to get caught up in paralysis by analysis,” Daykin said after council spent three hours discussing places for future businesses and jobs.

February is National

A man who secretly recorded his ex-girlfriend while he sexually assaulted her has been sentenced to two years and seven months in prison. Convicted in October on one count of common assault, two counts of sexual assault and three counts of secretly observing and recording nudity in a private place, Glen Allen Berry was handed the prison term last week in New Westminster Supreme Court.

Berry, 49, was arrested in September 2010 after his ex-girlfriend reported the common assault to police. While investigating the assault, RCMP discovered several video recordings on Berry’s JVC camcorder and his Acer computer. The camcorder and computer contained four videos that showed Berry sexually assaulting his exgirlfriend while she slept. The evidence that lead to the second voyeurism charge included footage of another woman secretly filmed with a camera placed in the bathroom of

Ridge Meadows RCMP are trying to track down the person who made two pranks calls to 911 Monday. The first call, received just after 10 a.m., reported a rescue motor vehicle accident on Lougheed Highway at 105 Avenue, near Planet Ice. Crews from Fire Hall No. 1 rushed to the scene, but were unable

to locate a car or injured driver. Minutes later, a second call alerted 911 to another supposed accident at 224th Street and Dewdney Trunk Road. That, too, turned out to be false. “We start to mobilize crews and drive Code 3 to the scene thinking that someone needs emergency assistance,” said fire chief Dane Spence. “We think it’s a

bonafide emergency, when it’s not. In this case, we had to mobilize crews from two fire halls because our resources were tied up with the first call. I don’t understand the mentality of the caller.” Dispatchers eventually determined both calls came from the same number and forwarded the information to Ridge Meadows RCMP, who are investigating. “911 is an emergency

response service that is there for the overall safety of the community,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop. “When this service is used to create false calls for service, it puts a strain on resources for ambulance, fire departments, and police. When police find a false 911 call has been made, the incident is investigated and, where possible, criminal charges are sought.”

that Berry’s recent convictions are just a few examples of his “broader sexual deviance” and a dangerous pattern of conduct, but Madame Justice Heather Holmes declined to allow the videos to be entered as evidence. Crown believed the videos would help the court craft an appropriate sentence for Berry, who has not sought treatment for his sexual proclivities.

Bing to leave Pitt council in February Will say goodbye at regular meeting Feb. 4 staff reporter

The MLA for Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows will be leaving city council for good in February. B.C. Liberal Doug Bing told his council colleagues Jan. 14 that he will attend his last meeting Feb. 4, when the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial plan bylaw is set to get a final reading. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While I have enjoyed the opportunity to serve my community as a city councillor for the past eight years, I look forward to stepping down soon so I can focus completely on my MLA duties,â&#x20AC;? said Bing. Bing initially sought

a leave of absence from council until January, which was denied by his council colleagues. He then decided to stay on till January to avoid triggering a by-election. But with a budget thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yet to pass and council split on the North Lougheed corridor, Bing said last week that he had been asked him to hang around a little longer, but did not have a time line for his departure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the time of the interview, IÂ didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when aÂ vote on the budget and North Lougheed were coming up,â&#x20AC;? said Bing. Both items were on yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council agenda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I now have the agenda â&#x20AC;Ś so I could make my last day in January as per original plan. However, I

MLA office now open staff reporter

Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Doug Bingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office is open and ready for business, and has been since Dec. 23 when the doors first opened. The rookie MLA elected last May in a surprise win over the NDP, wanted a location right on the border between the two communities, leading to the selection of office space at No. 104 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 20130 Lougheed Hwy. The location is on a side road and requires a bit of navigating to reach from the highway. Constituency assistant Cheryl Ashlie said Bing wanted to ensure he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t choose one community over the other.

am waiting until Feb. 4th to say my farewells as my colleagues want to thank me publiclyÂ for my years of service at a televised regular council meeting,â&#x20AC;? he added. Bing hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been receiving a salary from the city or billing them for expenses since he was elected MLA. Of the 24 new MLAs elected to B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legisla-

ture last year, Bing was among 12 who were members of a municipal council. The three-term city councillor won a tight race, garnering 10,824 votes compared to New Democrat Elizabeth Rosenauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10,204. Bing opened his constituency office at #10420130 Lougheed Highway in December.

An NDP revival? Now we know the when. Perhaps soon we’ll learn the who. The B.C. NDP announced over the weekend that it will announce its new leader to succeed Adrian Dix on Sept. 28. That leader will be chosen by party members in a vote to be conducted Sept. 24-27 over the phone and online. The party’s president, Craig Keating, said he’s looking forward to an “exciting leadership election with great candidates.” Except, so far there aren’t any candidates. Great or otherwise. Three federal NDP Members of Parliament from B.C. have said they’re not interested. Peter Julian, Fin Donnelly and Nathan Cullen all bowed out even before they bowed in. Kennedy Stewart, the MP for Burnaby-Douglas, is still mulling his decision. As is Jinny Sims, the federal NDP representative from Newton-North Delta. Their reticence is understandable. As members of the official opposition in Ottawa, they’re all strong voices for issues they and their constituents believe in. They’re members of a party that captured voters’ imaginations in the last federal election and continues to get attention countering decisions and legislation made by Stephen Harper’s Conservative government. B.C. politics, on the other hand, is a snake pit. Nobody knows that better than Dix, who seemed to have victory in last spring’s provincial campaign in the bag but found himself delivering a concession speech instead. Now that the date has been set for the party’s leadership vote, most observers expect candidates to begin announcing their intentions as well. And no doubt as those names are known, and those candidates start hustling for support, the always entertaining world of B.C. politics will burn with renewed energy and entertainment. – Black Press

Old man take a look at your facts VICTORIA – Neil Young’s anti-oil-sands concert tour was the perfect distillation of the American enviro-assault on its dependent northern neighbour that’s been going on for a decade or more. After touring Fort McMurray in his B.C. Views electric car with actor-turned-protest- Tom Fletcher er Daryl Hannah, the 68-year-old Young covered all the big propaganda hits and added his own fantasy facts. It looks like a war zone up there. Hiroshima. If it keeps going it will be like the Moon! There’s no reclamation. Tar sands oil is all going to China, and that’s why their air is so bad. All of those statements are false. And then Young dropped his own nuclear bomb, claiming cancer rates in Fort Chipewyan are 30 per cent higher than, well, somewhere else. Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation has cited a discredited study by former community doctor John O’Connor to press the same claim. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta reviewed O’Connor’s claims in 2009. It concluded that “Dr. O’Connor made a number of inaccurate or untruthful claims” about cancer patients, and then refused to provide patient information after his claims made international news. Retired professor David Schindler toured with Young and continued to

push the health scare, referring darkly to newer research showing increased mercury and PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) contamination. When you peel back the propaganda and journalistic hype, these studies mainly reveal that such toxins are on the rise, but are found in much higher concentrations around large cities where fuel is consumed. The cancer claims were then debunked by a Royal Society of Canada expert panel in 2010. This cancer scare is the most damaging and dishonest part of the selective attack on Alberta. The oil industry, politicians and most of the media seem unwilling to examine it critically. Climate scientist-turned-politician Andrew Weaver was at Young’s Toronto news conference. He says there were no questions for him, Adam or Young’s other validator, David Suzuki, who previously worked with Schindler on a slanted oil sands documentary for the CBC. Weaver calculates that Young’s claim about greenhouse gas emissions is substantially correct, if you include emissions from the finished fuels. Weaver refused any comment on the cancer claims. Young included the obligatory sneering comparison between Stephen Harper and George W. Bush, which is another sign he’s lived in California too long. He seemed unaware that the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau support continued oil-sands development. As for moonscapes, Young could have driven his famous electric Lincoln from his Redwood City mansion on a hill to nearby Bakersfield, to view the greasy

expanses of closely packed pumpjacks reaching to the horizon, still expanding due to hydraulic fracturing. Young could have visited North Dakota, where the second shale oil train explosion luckily didn’t kill anyone. It seems there will be no remake of Young’s classic Kent State lament dedicated to 47 Dead in Old Quebec. That’s American oil, so no protests. Chief Adam was frank in an interview on CTV about using the “Honour the Treaties” tour to strengthen his legal position.

“This cancer scare is the most damaging and dishonest part of the selective attack on Alberta. The oil industry, politicians and most of the media seem unwilling to examine it critically. “ Young’s concert tour put $75,000 in his fund to pay lawyers. Oil isn’t the only thing being extracted here. By the end of the tour Sunday, Young and Adam conceded they weren’t trying to shut the Athabasca oil sands down, just start a dialogue. Thanks to uncritical media coverage, there will no doubt be discussions at dinner tables and in classrooms all over the world about the terrible Alberta tar sands and the cancer they don’t actually cause. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

The News/letters

This is what we end up with Just a question of when Editor, The News: Re: Bing clings to council seat (The News). The article is very disturbing. Doug Bing continues to sit as an elected representative on two separate and distinct bodies, municipal council and as a member of the provincial government. He maintains there is no problem or conflict, proof that he has now truly entered that elevated realm so many of our politicians inhabit – where ‘it isn’t wrong unless someone finds out,’ as a former B.C. premier once said. The rules of integrity and honesty that most of us live under are not applicable in their world, and circumventing them for their own personal ends is seen as an entitlement of office. While he may not be drawing the councillor’s salary, he is still holding two elected positions, which are diametrically opposite on several issues. Pitt council has clearly stated its opposition to the provincial government on matters like the ALR (which has entered into the North Lougheed issue), so there is a conflict whether Mr. Bing acknowledges it or pretends it doesn’t exist. He and the mayor believe it is democratic for

‘Due to digital age’

him to hold two positions in conflict; many of us do not agree. Mr. Bing turned his back on council when he decided to run provincially, and his election as MLA should have completely finished his council participation. It certainly would have to anyone with integrity, or without a personal agenda, which has now been admitted. After first stating he would leave council if elected provincially, Mr. Bing subsequently said he would leave in January, allegedly to thereby avoid a by-election. Then we have Mayor Deb Walters’ deliberate interference in a democratic process. Both Mr. Bing and Mrs. Walters have admitted that she made him change his decision. I see nothing good in having an MLA who is in someone else’s pocket. Bing has followed a course that has certainly tarnished him. How can such a person have the trust of the electorate? Obviously, he can’t, and he doesn’t. It is no wonder few bother to vote, when this is what we end up with. Byron Hosking Pitt Meadows

Editor, The News: Re: ‘Closing fish libraries like burning books’ (Letters, Jan. 8). Maria Raynolds compares the consolidation of the DFO libraries to the Book Thief movie of Nazi Germany’s book burning. Why do writers in-

Editor, The News: Re: Bing clings to council seat (The News); Loss of trust (News Views). There have been inaccurate statements made about me, which are unacceptable and need to be corrected for the Bing public record. The article and editorial written Jan. 15 contains misleading information. The first line of the article states: “The MLA for Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows will stay on city council despite previous promises to resign his seat in the New year.” This statement is false. In your editorial, you quote me on May 30 as saying: “I’ll definitely be stepping down from council. It’s just a question of when.” This statement is true. I have stated many times that I would be leaving council in the new year, and there is

sist on comparing Nazi Germany to all and sundry issues? It diminishes their debate. The consolidation of the DFO libraries is due to the digital age. Electronic sources and the internet are the go-to for most people for infor-

absolutely no question that this is going to happen. The assertion that I am clinging to my council seat is an absurd statement because nothing has actually changed in terms of my departure from council. The legislative session starts on Feb. 11 and continues until May 30, and I am not available for council meetings when I am in Victoria. Logistically, therefore, it is clear that the last meeting I can attend as a city councillor will be Feb. 4. While I have enjoyed the opportunity to serve my community as a city councillor for the past eight years, I look forward to stepping down soon so I can focus completely on my MLA duties. Doug Bing, MLA Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Editor’s note: Mr. Bing did not state the date he intends to step away from Pitt Meadows council when asked on Jan. 13, only that he wanted to remain to vote on the 2014 budget and future of the North Lougheed Connector.

mation. So consolidation saves the Canadian taxpayers money. Waves is the DFO’s library online catalogue, with access to more than 600,000 books, journals and government documents. Also, this information is available at three in-

stitutions. While libraries and books are priceless, in my opinion, actual books will probably only be seen in museums one day. Sad to say. Cherryl Katnich Maple Ridge

Conservation officer Cody Ambrose said staff have been to the neighbourhood a couple of times, but the deer is gone by the time they arrive. The officers will try to remove the arrow if they are able to trap the deer and sedate it. But if the wound is infected, the deer will most likely be put down. “What we are concerned about is the people who are doing this to the deer,” said Ambrose. “We call them urban poachers.” This is the second time the conservation service has received a call about a deer impaled by arrow in the span of two months. Poaching has been going on for quite a few years in Maple Ridge, Ambrose added.

Report poachers If you see a hunter within Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows urban boundary, call 1-877-952-7277 (RAPP) immediately or #7277 on the TELUS Mobility network. Try to take down a license plate number.

Man assaulted 10-year-old in trailer park

Wallet turned in

contributed

Ridge Meadows RCMP need the public’s help to track down a man accused of sexually assaulting a child 35 years ago in Pitt Meadows. Police began the “historical investigation” after receiving a complaint from the victim in 2012. The victim was 10 years old at the time of the assault, which took place on Planetree Lane in the Highland Trailer Park. The person of interest is a Caucasian man, 5’10’’, 170 pounds, and was in his 30s at the time. He had dark curly hair cropped just above his neck line, evenly distributed, and a gap between his teeth. “This description is from the late 1970s,” Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said after investigators released a sketch of the suspect on Tuesday to reflect what he would

information that could help identify him and or lead investigators to his location. • Anyone with information is asked to call Constable Granneman of Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-4766961.

A wallet with a significant amount of cash was turned in to Ridge Meadows RCMP last week. Police are applauding the actions of a 75-year-old woman who found it and gave it to officers in the area of Lougheed Highway and Carshill Street on Jan. 13. The wallet contained cash and a company’s rewards card. “Ridge Meadows RCMP want to acknowledge the admirable actions of this person,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop. “It would have been far easier for the citizen to keep the wallet, but in this case the citizen did the right thing and turned it over so police can hopefully find the real owner. Truly an outstanding person and someone we can all trust.” Police are now looking for the legal owner of the wallet. • Anyone who has either lost their wallet, or was the victim of a theft can call Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251 with a description.

ringing books to poor children in Guatemala is a passion for Kenneth Holmes of the Ridge Meadows Retired Teachers’ Association. The one-time school librarian visited South American for the first time in 2010 and found the amount of reading material available to children severely wanting. He was with a group of about 20 volunteers on the trip who are part of the local group Love Guatemala. For him, one of the highlights of the trip was delivering library books to a school in Chimixiya. He’s since been back twice, bringing his grandchildren to experience the country and culture, and stocked two more village libraries with books. He’s working on more. Most Guatemalan students own one school book, which contains the entire syllabus for all courses they will study between its covers. Libraries are rare, are not well stocked, and people are not allowed to remove the books – they read them at the library. So, when 20 people from Maple Ridge head south for a Love Guatemala project, they make sure they are using their 50 pounds of allowable luggage space by packing new books. Where some foreign aid flowing into the country winds up on the black market, the books find their way into libraries, said Holmes. “The Ridge-Meadows Retired Teachers’ Association has become the little local association that could,” he said. In 2010 the members at the “To Hell with the Bell Breakfast” donated change to buy library books for the students at Chimixiya. The group’s executive suggested that they continue to have a change bucket at its luncheons, apply for a RR SMITH Foundation grant, and gave a $1 per member grant towards the “Change for change” project. The accumulation of change does a lot. Holmes was able to buy more than 400 books, fiction and non-fiction, on eBay. These books will be added to the ones purchased with the $1,500 grant from the RR SMITH Foundation and the $1 per member grant from the RMRTA. With these funds in 2011 they helped to supply a library for Quiacquix, then in 2012, an-

Anti-tax candidates may win more power on councils by J eff Nagel Black Press

The outcome of this fall’s civic elections across Metro Vancouver may be altered by holding the promised TransLink referendum at the same time, prompting an unusual surge of voters aligned with one side or the other. Several observers say that’s a strong possibility if the province pushes forward with the plebiscite on new transit taxes that could then dominate local campaigning. Transit riders could come out in force to vote ‘Yes’ in the referendum, potentially pushing protransit candidates onto local councils. But more likely, some watchers say, is a stampede to the polls of antitax voters who want to pay no more for TransLink and will help elect conservative councillors and mayors as a byproduct of defeating the referendum. A Nov. 15 TransLink vote would boost the “notoriously low” turnout in civic elections, said political analyst David Schreck, but he added it might also sweep into

power candidates similar to Toronto Coun. Doug Ford. “Usually the people who are encouraged to turn out are the people who are angry and upset and opposed, not the people who want to pay more taxes to fund transit,” Schreck said. “And those are the ones who would be casting their votes for city councillors and mayors and school trustees.” Jordan Bateman, B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said Metro mayors have themselves to blame for the timing because they were angry with the government-promised referendum and failed to reach a swift agreement with Transportation Minister Todd Stone so it could be held sooner than the fall. “If I was a mayor in a community where TransLink is not popular but I’m proposing big tax increases to give TransLink more dough, I’d be very nervous about this election,” Bateman said. So far no question has been announced and Stone and Premier Christy Clark have sent mixed messages about what they think it should be. Mayors have said they first want the province to reform TransLink governance to give them more control over spending priorities if they are to

support the referendum. “I know a lot of mayors don’t want to see it mixed up in a municipal election,” Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said. But she said the timing is good and will spur better voter turnout than the traditional 18 to 30 per cent while also lowering the cost. “People really do want to have a say in how they’re going to pay for it, recognizing that there is going to be payment made whether it’s by tolls or road pricing or whatever.” Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, Metro’s board chair, questioned whether the referendum result could be considered valid if it’s held in November but the turnout doesn’t improve. Also to be determined, he said, are parameters such as the threshold of approval. “Is it 50 per cent plus one or is it more than that?” Moore predicts it will be difficult for residents to view the referendum as a vote on whether the region needs more money for transit and roads, rather than just a way to castigate TransLink for various shortcomings. “That’s going to be a challenge for people to separate those two.” Moore also agreed a simultaneous referendum could alter outcomes of

local races. “In some areas it could have a real impact on the election,” he said. Metro mayors have opposed holding a referendum on transit funding, warning it will be sharply divisive. “It has the potential of pitting communities against communities,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin. “It also has the potential to dilute or push aside other local issues during the election campaign.” Most mayors wanted the province to simply authorize a new funding source to raise billions of dollars for new rapid transit lines and improved service. They suggested an annual vehicle levy, a regional share of the carbon tax, a 0.5 per cent regional sales tax or regional bridge and road tolling. But Bateman said there’s no way the province will back down and push through higher transit taxes in the region without a referendum after having promised one in the 2013 provincial election. Doing so would infuriate voters, he said, and no provincial politician will forget their wrath after the BC Liberals’ botched imposition of the harmonized sales tax. “No party wants to go through the HST broken promise scenario again.”

‘H1N1 flu death count misleading’

Public health officials say more B.C. residents have likely died of H1N1 flu this month than the official count of five labconfirmed deaths so far. Four of the confirmed H1N1 deaths were on Vancouver Island, while the fifth was in the Interior and there are none officially listed in the Lower Mainland. According to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, there are 49 patients

As a result, she said it’s “not a meaningful exercise” to focus on the number of deaths or hospitalizations as that can give a false impression that influenza is less severe. Based on national averages, the BCCDC estimates there are up to 520 influenza-related hospital deaths in B.C. in a normal flu season each year. H1N1 makes up more than 80 per cent of flu cases in B.C. so far this year. Many pharmacies have run out of vaccine after a late scramble to get immunized. The province says nearly 1.4 million British Columbians have

been vaccinated so far and the “unprecedented demand” has led to temporary gaps in supply. More vaccine is on order and will be distributed across the province – 5,000 more doses are expected to arrive this week, another 3,000 are expected next week and the province has requested a further 13,000 doses. “We’re getting near the end of the influenza immunization campaign, so we won’t have vaccine in every location,” Gustafson said. She said flu season can continue through March, so late season vaccinations can still help ward off serious illness.

Pharmacy points ban survives challenge by Jef f Nage l Black Press

A newly imposed ban on issuing loyalty reward points on prescription drug purchases has survived the first stage of a court challenge launched by major pharmacy chains. Sobeys West Inc. and Jace Holdings Ltd. – parent firms of Canada Safeway and Thrifty Foods – had sought an interim court injunction suspending the ban, but that was rejected last week by B.C. Supreme Court. A full hearing of the College of Pharmacists of B.C. bylaw prohibiting loyalty programs on pharmaceuticals begins

Jan. 31. The two firms argued in part that the bylaw banning points issuance effective Dec. 2 was pushed through by smaller pharmacies that struggle to compete against the loyalty offers of big chains. The college has said loyalty incentives are inappropriate “kickbacks” that could unduly influence customer purchasing behaviour. The companies argued there was no evidence and only speculation that reward points might be a threat to the health of vulnerable patients. Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson rejected Canada Safeway’s claim it would suffer “irrepa-

rable harm” due to loss of revenue and customers to competitors if the loyalty points ban was allowed to remain in place pending the hearing. The court did not accept the big pharmacies’ claim that loyalty programs pose no threat. “The fact that there has been no documented harm to the public from customer loyalty programs to date does not mean that the risk of harm is non-existent,” Hinkson ruled. The college has suggested some patients might go without medicine in order to wait and refill a prescription on a day when a special points bonus is offered. Hinkson said the phar-

macy chains appear to have answered that concern by pledging not to offer unusual loyalty point bonuses on particular days. Canada Safeway has also lodged a complaint about the loyalty rewards ban with the federal Competition Bureau.

hospitalized in intensive care units with severe influenza as of Jan. 17. Sixteen of them are in the Fraser Health region and 10 are on Vancouver Island. But officials say the number of deaths understate the true scope of H1N1 flu fatalities because patients hospitalized with flu-like symptoms – even those who die – are not generally lab tested for a final confirmation of influenza or type. “Most deaths from influenza will probably not have influenza identified,” said Dr. Reka Gustafson, a medical health officer with the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority.

Oscar-nominated flick opens GEMS

Speed Control tours Maple Ridge

The Golden Ears Movie Series first screening of the year will feature the Oscar-nominated Chilean film “No”. Directed by Pablo Larraín and one of the five nominees for best foreign-language film at last year’s Academy Awards, No tells the story of how a small group of advertising executives inspired a nation to overthrow one of the world’s most repressive regimes. Facing mounting international pressure, Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet calls for a referendum on his presidency in 1988. Opposition leaders persuade a brash young advertising executive, Rene Saavedra (played by Gael Garcia Bernal) to spearhead their campaign. With scant resources and constant scrutiny by the despot’s watchmen,

Yukon rock trio brings music to schools with ‘RAWK Camps’ ukon power rock trio Speed Control are kicking off 2014 the only way they know how - rocking out on the road. After spending much of 2013 touring across Canada, Speed Control are ready to get right back at it with a string of tour dates starting in Burns Lake. This winter tour of B.C. is a mix of their popular school shows and evening club shows, in support of their new album ‘F.A.B.’, which was independently released last October. Made up of brothers Graeme (guitar/ vocals) and Jody Peters (bass/vocals), and drummer Ian March, Speed Control hits hard, fast and with a sound some compare to Nirvana, and even early Police. Their music has been described as a combination of pop punk, math rock and high-energy rock ‘n roll fused with the incredible intensity of their live show. All three members come from a jazz and classical music background but they’re now all focused on their true passion – rock. Often called the hardest working band in the Yukon, Speed Control is not only a hard-hitting rock trio. They have also dedicated themselves to furthering music education in Canada

Speed Control features brothers Graeme and Jody Peters and drummer Ian March. and bringing music back into the lives of kids nationwide. While on tour, in between club and festival shows, Speed Control visit schools and teach a variety of “RAWK Camps” which are partnered with Yamaha Canada, who give kids brand new instruments to play, and equipment to run the camps. This allows Speed Control to visit many remote communities some of which do not have a music store. The band has planned many school shows including one on Jan. 27 at James

Cameron School in Maple Ridge. Speed Control also supplements their winter touring by bringing their patented “Rags to RAWK” history of rock n’ roll into elementary, middle, and high schools. This show follows the journey of rock from 1898 to present day. • Speed Control play two school shows in Maple Ridge at James Cameron School on Jan. 27 and the ACT on Jan. 31. Their show in Vancouver at The Rickshaw on Jan. 31 is open to the public. Tickets at speedcontrol.ca.

at Air Show tournament Marauders meet Bulldogs in final again by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

The rivalry between the Pitt Meadows Marauders and the Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs grew a little more fierce on Saturday night, when the Bulldogs beat hometown Pitt in the final game of the Air

Show Tournament, by a lopsided score of 91-65. The familiar foes also met in last year’s tourney final, in which Pitt took the title for the fourth year in a row. Then, they locked horns in two more big games at the provincial tournament, where the Bulldogs had the best of it. With both teams ranked in the middle of the provincial top 10 standings for most of the season, the meeting in

the tourney final was predictable. Pitt point guard Elijah Lapurga turned his ankle in the semi-final, wasn’t available for the tourney final, and he was missed. Churchill led the championship game 39-29 at half time. Pitt’s Zach Villanueva drained a three-pointer on their first possession of the half to cut the lead to a more respectable seven, but Pitt struggled against Churchill’s full-court press, turned the ball over three times early in the half, and the Bulldogs extended their lead to 59-41. Churchill did everything well – played tough defence, got offensive rebounds and shot some long threes of their own. Pitt was not completely outclassed, despite the score. They showed some polished passing, but didn’t finish on offence with enough consistency to stick with the ‘Dogs. Guard Villanueva was the player of the game for Pitt, and his three third-quarter treys gave him 11 points on the game. “Zac did a wonderful job,” said Marauders head coach Goulet. Grade 11 post Graham Smith scored 29 – part of his remarkable consistency throughout the tournament. He was selected the tournament’s MVP, and the big forward’s points/rebounds totals for the first three games was 27-20, 30-14 and 30-12. “Graham has been awesome. He’s a horse,” said Goulet. “We fought hard, we were maybe just a bit tired,” said Smith after the game. “And they have six or seven guys who are good players.” “We missed Elijah. He’s our floor general.” The Marauders got there by beating Windermere 8758 on Thursday night, and then Mt. Boucherie 71-67 in a noon Friday game in front of the school. Goulet was surprised at the level of school support he

close,” said Goulet. Friday night they punched their ticket to the tournament championship by beating Heritage Woods 70-59. Pitt trailed the game 35-33 at half-time, and Goulet said the Port Moody team plays “buzz saw” defence that is some of the most physical they have seen all year. “In the second half we played really tough – we

didn’t give up the ball, we got some offensive rebound sand we were in better position defensively.” Pitt’s Hakeem Wewala was named to the tournament all-star team, which also included Churchill brothers Mindy and Gary Minhas and Izaiah Ugoalah.

Rams win Grade 8 hoops invitational The host Maple Ridge Ramblers did it with defense, edging a tough GW Graham team 3427 Saturday to win their third Grade 8 girls’ basketball tournament of the season. The Rams trailed after the first quarter and at half time in the final, but outscored the Chilliwack team 20-10 in the second half for a nine-point, foul-filled victory. Kirsten Senchyna led the Ramblers with nine points and 10 steals against GW Graham. Taylor De Adder had eight points and five rebounds. Aly Heppner also had eight points. Paige Bell added seven points, 10 rebounds and four steals, while Ashleigh Lesser was a defensive standout. Earlier that day, the Ramblers downed the St. Thomas More Knights 27-18.

Heppner had a teamhigh seven points. Bell had six points, nine rebounds and five steals. Senchyna also had six points, while Emily Morley netted four. Kaila Barteski had a great game for the Ramblers, while Emma Hall returned from a broken wrist and scored a late basket. “Great team defense was the difference for us in the two games we played on Saturday,” said head coach Don Herman. “We stayed in front of ball handlers and forced them into bad passes, which we were able to turn into layups.” He added that Bell did a great job guarding the best players on both STM and GW Graham, while De Adder was outstanding at running the offense and had a key steal and layup in the last minute of the or join our

Pitt Meadows Arena Complex William Pitt the Elder, the Earl of Chatham. minister was not a high point in his career and he left the position when he accepted his peerage. Pitt the Younger was born in 1759 and was reared for a life in politics. He began his political career as a Whig (his father’s party), but eventually became a Tory. In 1783, at 24 years of age, he became prime

minister of Britain, the youngest person ever to serve in this capacity. He proved hugely popular and retained the position for 17 years. His accomplishments as prime minister were many, culminating in the formal uniting of Great Britain and Ireland into a single realm on Jan. 1, 1801. He also served briefly

as prime minister in 1804 and 1806. Following in his tradition of doing things at a young age, Pitt the Younger died this way as well, passing away at the age of 47 on Jan. 23, 1806. Which Pitt are we named for? You decide.

A key requirement is that the contractor does not conduct burning unless the venting index is “good”. This ensures proper air movement exists to minimize smoke impacts to people in the vicinity of the burning.

itt Meadows turns 100 on April 25th and, as a community, we will be celebrating the anniversary all year. But truth be told, we are much older than that, and so is our name. The first reference to ‘Pitt’ in association with this area dates to 1827, when explorer James McMillan noted in his journal on July 24th that he was passing by “Pitt’s River” on his journey down the Fraser. It is believed he actually named the river without note when passing by in an earlier trip in 1824. The Pitt River starts appearing on maps as early as 1858. Governor James Douglas visited in 1860 and noted the beauty of the area, referring to it as “the Pitt Meadows,” and one map of the period refers to the area as “Pitt River Meadows.” The name stuck and those who acquired land here, starting in 1858, were investing in “Pitt Meadows,” meaning we can also celebrate 156 years of existence. And back to the name. It has always been assumed that McMillan named the river after William Pitt, the Earl of Chatham, and it is also assumed that this is Pitt the Elder, the First Earl of Chatham rather than his son, Pitt the Younger, the Second Earl. Who were these William Pitts? Pitt the Elder, the First Earl was born Nov. 15, 1708 in Westminster and died May 11, 1778 in London after collapsing in the House of Lords. A nobleman, he dominated politics in Britain in the middle part of the 18th Century despite being prime minister for only a short twoyear period, starting in 1766. He was a master orator and is best known historically, aside from lending his name to our fine community, for the quote, “Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it,”; as well as for “conquering” many lands, including Canada, and for his work towards ending the Seven Year War in 1763. His time as prime

The family of Tina Geertsma of Pitt Meadows would like to announce her passing into glory and into the arms of Jesus just before noon on Friday, January 17/14. Predeceased by her husband of 57 years, Marten Geertsma on October 10/03. Survived by her family Ann Hamming (Martin), Rose Lehna (Barry), Henrietta Vanderkooi (Ken), Janet Bennett (Mel), Shirley Leyenhorst (Eric), Hank Geertsma (Lorena). Also survived by 20 grandchildren, 40 great grandchildren with two on the way. Mom and Dad immigrated from Holland in 1951, settling first in Cloverdale and then in Langley. In 1958, they started dairy farming in the Pitt Polder. Mom knew how to stretch a penny making hand made clothes for her family. She cooked and cared for a number of hired men that worked the dairy farm. Locally she volunteered many years for the ‘Meals on Wheels’ program and was always mindful of those that were shut-in. Mom enjoyed playing the harmonica in her church and for those in rest homes. A stroke in 2005 took away her independence but even though she could no longer speak, her welcoming smile always lit up the room. The family wishes to extend its sincerest thanks to the caring staff at Elim Village who loved “Momma Tina”. A memorial service will be held at the Maple Ridge Christian

OLSON Ruby Joanne Elizabeth Joanne was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on December 9, 1961. As the result of a stroke and after a 9 day family vigil at her bedside, in the early evening of Tuesday, January 14, 2014, at Vancouver General Hospital, while listening to The Old Rugged Cross, Joanne peacefully decided to not take another breath. Joanne is survived by her mother Julie, husband Dan, daughter Amanda, son Brandon (Brooke), and grandsons Jaxon and Bentley. She is predeceased by her father Tony and brother Michael. Joanne preferred not to be labelled. No matter what titles she carried – Daughter, Student, Liquor Worker, Union Organizer, Executive Assistant, Business Owner, Executive Director, Travel Agent, Wife, Mother, Grama or Community Volunteer - she was above all else, and at all times a Human Rights Social Activist – if she must be labeled, that is the one to use. A memorial service honoring this incredible woman will be held on Saturday, January 25th, at the ACT Theatre, 11944 Haney Place, Maple Ridge, BC. Doors will open at 5:30, Service at 6:00 with a live music reception and light snacks to follow until 10pm. Patrolled parking underground. In lieu of donations, live your lives safely, respectfully and practice random acts of kindness in her honour. Expressions of sympathy can be made at www.gardenhill.ca

Our daughter, sister, mother, wife, partner, friend, mentor, leader, educator and volunteer has left us so early in life. Following a short, painful but courageous battle with stage IV lung cancer, Susan passed away peacefully with a ray of sunshine beaming through her hospital window. Susan is now free and has gone on to share her smile and love with the angels of the universe. We are forever grateful for everyone who worked so diligently to find more time for Susan to be with us. From our family physician, doctors, nurses, technicians and counselors at Ridge Meadows Hospital and the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre and the home care team in Maple Ridge, each did whatever they could to provide comfort and compassionate care throughout Susan’s 7 week battle with her evil disease. Susan loved children and had a great affinity to connect with kids of all ages. From her 4 daughters, her daughter’s friends, nieces, nephews, grandkids, kids in band and choir, kids on the playground during her time as a noon-hour supervisor and the special needs kids she mentored daily in her role as a Special Education Assistant, Susan was always able to get each to give their best. Susan also spent 9 years as a cashier with the Overwaitea Food Group – she was “the Best Cashier” and loved to interact with customers as she rang through their groceries, always providing them with her smile and laughter as she quickly processed their order. She met her husband, Art, through work at Overwaitea and together they developed a loving and caring family. Susan loved to return to Osoyoos, where she grew up, for summer vacations and special holidays – it was always a great way to connect with family and have a lot of fun. Susan will be missed by many but she left so many positive memories with others she will forever be remembered. Susan is survived by her husband, Art; daughters Kelsey, Stephanie, Ginny and Michelle; son-in-law, Devin; grandchildren, Axton and Maxime; mother, Lora; sisters Debbie, Rhonda, Wendy, Margot; brother, James; mother-in-law, Maria; father-in-law, Adriaan; brother-in-laws, Preston, Ron, Ronnie, Chris, Bryan; sister-in-laws, Cheryl, Linda and nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers please donate generously to either the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation or the BC Cancer Foundation. Lung cancer can be prevented – we simply need to stop selling tobacco and cigarettes – please join Susan’s battle to prevent lung cancer. Susan’s celebration of life will be held on January 25th, 2014 at 12:30pm at the Burnett Fellowship Church, 20639 – 123rd Avenue, Maple Ridge. Condolences may be sent to www.mapleridgefuneral.ca

Every flooring installation regardless of surface type will require more material than the exact surface measurement of the installation area. This is a result of numerous factors: carpet roll width, pattern matching, material units in hard surface packaging and more. When you purchase flooring from Carpet One that we have measured for your installation, we guarantee that the amount of flooring you buy will be only the minimum necessary required for a professional installation by the highest industry standards. We’re experts and that’s what we do. You pay only for what you need.
