Pitt says no to salary committee Consumer Price Index will guide council wages by M on i sh a M ar ti n s staff reporter

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Birds of prey A pair of bald eagles perched in a tree along Rannie Road in Pitt Meadows on Thursday.

Pitt Meadows council won’t be forming a committee to review escalating council salaries over fears the group might recommend an increase. A council motion to establish an independent committee to investigate how to compensate elected officials was defeated at a committee meeting Tuesday in a three-three split vote. Instead, council voted to adjust its remuneration annually on Jan. 1, this year onwards, based on the Consumer Price Index for Metro Vancouver for the preceding year, a formula which was followed prior to 2008. However, some councillors believe that the city is just postponing an inevitable and necessary review. “At some point in time, it will have to be done,” said Mayor Deb Walters. See Wages, p9

No more federal voter cards New legislation would require two pieces of ID by P h i l M e l nychuk staff reporter

As well, people will no longer be allowed to vouch for the identify of another voter. According to the federal NDP, that will mean about 120,000 people will be turned away at the polls.

In addition, under the new legislation, people will have a range of identification that they can use at the polls. “The intent is to list 39 pieces of valid ID, which is quite a broad list that you can choose from, Kamp to be sure that elections are fair,” Kamp said.

Rules changing for kids safe house S tor y by Phil Melnychuk

eople worried about the closing of Maple Ridge’s teen safe house because of changes to federal funding rules can relax – for a year. New priorities under Ottawa’s Housing First program don’t kick in until 2015, said MP Randy Kamp. Maple Ridge council heard Tuesday that the Iron Horse Youth Safe House could close its doors as soon as March 31. The five-bed emergency shelter opened in 2005 and gives kids fleeing abuse or in trouble a safe place to go. At the house, youth between 13 and 18 years old are connected with counselling so they can plan their lives while avoiding the dangers of the street. Under the new Housing First approach, 65 per cent of money for the Homelessness Partnering Strategy must go to physical living spaces for people. Once housed, other services, such as counselling, are provided. That could mean money needed to operate an emergency shelter wouldn’t qualify. But the new criteria don’t kick in until 2015-2016 fiscal year, Kamp said. “The requirement to move towards that is not happening until next fiscal year. So for the 2014-15 fiscal year, the criteria are basi-

Alouette Home Start Society executive director Stephanie Ediger says the youth shelter could still close by March 31.

cally the same as they were in the last several years.” And even when the new approach is in place, Maple Ridge could still apply for the remaining 35 per cent, although it would be competing with other agencies in Metro Vancouver. Some agencies could even re-invent themselves in order to qualify under the new criteria. “I think they do great work,” Kamp said. “If they do a good job, as I think they do, and have a compelling story to tell, then I would

be hopeful that they would continue to be funded in the future.” At Wednesday’s Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school board meeting, chairman Mike Murray said the school district should work to keep the shelter open. “Now’s the time to ask the questions and raise the issue. “It’s a resource in this community that I know many people rely on,” he said, adding that without it, teens could potentially be living on the street – children as young as 13. “How it would be replaced, I don’t know.” Murray said the facility has been full since it opened, and serves teens throughout the region. The only similar shelter nearby is Vancouver’s Covenant House. Stephanie Ediger, executive-director with the Alouette Home Start Society, said nothing’s definite yet and that the shelter could close as soon as this March 31. Interim funding could be found to allow the shelter to reorganize and find new funding sources, she said. The Iron Horse Youth House receives about $365,000 yearly from the Homelessness Partnership Strategy. That pays for most of the $375,000 the safe house needs a year to pay for two staff, operating costs and food for the five-bedroom home. Occupancy is usually at 80 per cent, she added.

“We’re committed to continuing to provide services to this population.” But how that will be done isn’t known, she added. Ediger said kids are particularly vulnerable to the dangers of the street, from crime, drug addiction or prostitution, or just keeping them from falling into the condition of homelessness. “This is the time of life, if there’s not intervention, it’s like a fork in the road – you catch them before they fall to a place where it’s very difficult to get them back again.” Homelessness can kill you, she added. “Or set you up for a lifetime of chronic homelessness or instability,” Ediger said. “There’s all sorts of terrible things that can happen.” The District of Maple Ridge helped the shelter open by providing the house on district property, while volunteers and businesses pitched in with donations to get the house open. “That will be a huge hole in the community if we lose that. You’ve got to pick your battles. This is something we can go to the wall on,” said Mayor Ernie Daykin. Coun. Cheryl Ashlie said B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development could take on responsibility, but doesn’t have the money.

20th Annual Albert McFadden has been housebound since his electronic wheelchair was hit by a car.

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Disabled man made to wait two months for help with wheelchair Hit by a car in a highway crosswalk in December by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

A Maple Ridge man whose wheelchair was crushed by a car in December has been left stranded for the past two months because no one would replace it. After watching his grandsons perform in a Christmas concert, Albert McFadden was heading home when his motorized wheelchair suddenly gave out while crossing the intersection Lougheed Highway at Laity Street, around 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 12. With the crossing light still on, Albert got out of the chair and began to push it across the street, helped halfway by a driver who stopped at the same intersection. By then the north and south traffic lights turned green. The man who was helping Albert checked for ongoing vehicles, and the pair continued to push his wheelchair off the road when it was hit by one. “It came out of nowhere,” said Albert’s wife, Tami. The car struck Albert and tossed his wheelchair several metres. Albert, who has a steelrod in one of his arms and hip problems from a previous accident, was left badly bruised. He sustained only an injured neck. His wheelchair, however, was

McFadden claims ICBC initially would only cover a portion of what it costs to replace his wheelchair.

damaged beyond repair. Since the accident, Albert has been caught in a web of bureaucracy, without a replacement for his motorized wheelchair. Because he was involved in a car accident, the Ministry of Health indicated it would not pay for a new one. Tami said the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia told them Albert was 50 per cent to blame for the crash and because the wheelchair was outdated, insurance would only cover $1,500 towards a replacement. A new customized chair would cost about $16,000. For the past two months, the family has been seeking help to get Albert a new chair. “He needs a new chair, like yesterday, not six months from now,” said Tami. “That’s his lifeline.”

Before it was destroyed, the motorized wheelchair was Albert’s transportation. “He went everywhere in it,” she says. Albert took his grandsons to the park, the two-year-old seated on his lap. He’d often visit his daughter, Pamela Galvez, who lives six blocks away. “He was never home,” said Tami. Since the crash, however, Albert has been trapped inside. Tami is unable to push him around in an non-motorized wheelchair, so his only outings have been daily trips to Tim Horton’s, where he’s forced to stay in the car. Even Albert’s occupational therapist tried to push the ministry for some sort of solution to no avail – until Thursday. After being contacted by media, ICBC indicated it would pay the full amount for a replacement. “Thanks for bringing this to our attention,” said Adam Grossman of ICBC. “It was our understanding that the replacement wheelchair was being paid for through another authority, with a financial contribution from ICBC. This does not seem to have happened and if another authority is not going to pay, then we have told Mr. McFadden’s legal counsel that we will pay for the replacement wheelchair. We will continue to look into this, but all that’s important to us now is that Mr. McFadden gets his replacement wheelchair immediately.”

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

A fine line Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone may have found the elusive mix of provincial and local control in running TransLink when he made his hasty announcement last week. Without the courtesy of advance notice to Metro Vancouver mayors, Stone unveiled a list of peace offerings to the mayors, designed to get the interminable TransLink debate off his desk. First, he extended the deadline for the TransLink referendum, detaching it from this November’s civic elections and giving the mayors until June to come with a “vision” for TransLink – to sell to voters during a referendum at some later date. This measure itself could be therapeutic for all. TransLink has its Regional Transportation Strategy, which details its long-term plans. That document could form the basis of the “vision,” which would set out the short-term to-do items, such as a subway to UBC or LRT to Langley and the order in which to do them, and how to pay for them. Presumably, that would be explained in the referendum question, though no one knows for sure. Government MLA Doug Bing said this week the question could be a softball one, on which all can agree and support, easily earning a ‘yes’ vote – allowing everyone to move beyond the premier’s goofy campaign promise. Let’s hope Bing knows something everyone else doesn’t because such a question could be a way out of a quagmire. Stone also promised mayors more power (at least last week he did), allowing them to set TransLink’s long-term priorities, as they should. The mayors also now can approve fare hikes and TransLink salaries, as they should. So has Stone found the fine line between supervision of TransLink, ensuring it stays on track, but doing so without preventing if from doing its vital job of planning transportation for a growing region? He may have. Stone’s Feb. 6 letter to the mayors included a major carrot – an offer of one-third provincial funding restricted to “major new rapid transit” projects and replacement of the Pattullo Bridge. Now, if only Stone can have his own department consult and coordinate, even defer to TransLink before it does its own mega Lower Mainland autooriented projects (such as replacing the Massey Tunnel), so that taxpayers’ dollars are used to maximum effect. Hard-pressed taxpayers and commuters from Vancouver to Hope deserve as much. – The News

Deceit is the key to propaganda “You do not have to die. If you cease resistance, you will be treated well and return someday to your family.”

he words – in Arabic – appeared on the backs of millions of propaganda leaflets American planes Along the Fraser dropped to Iraqi Jack Emberly soldiers during the Gulf War. Your safe conduct pass listed instructions on how to surrender: shoulder your rifle; hold your pass above your head; walk slowly towards us. Iraqi soldiers were quickly drawn to the leaflets by their flip side, a replicated 25 Dinar banknote with Saddam Hussain’s face on it. Deceit is the key to propaganda. In any conflict, it aims at shaking the confidence and convictions of the other side. In the Second World War, an Englishspeaking Japanese radio voice called Tokyo Rose tried to undermine American troop morale with misinformation. From Germany, William Joyce, a Nazi nicknamed ‘Lord Haw Haw,’ bombarded British listeners with inflated accounts of Allied casualties. Surrender and return to happier times, he pleaded. Interviews with captured soldiers show 70 per cent believe propaganda messages, and are swayed by them. Education Minister Peter Fassbender

uestion of the week:

knows the statistics. Last week I opened his email to all “B.C. teachers.” Email – direct hits – beats dropping leaflets from planes, hoping they’ll land in the laps of frontline troops. Mr. Fassbender will send “a series” of them during contract negotiations between the union and the government. Frontline teachers have noted the insincerity, misinformation, and subterfuge. They won’t break ranks over class size and composition, especially after last month’s Supreme Court ruling that legislation in 2002 and again in 2012 stripped that language from the collective agreement, that doing so was illegal and had to be restored. Justice Susan Griffin said the government tried to provoke a teacher job action. Mr. Fassbender cries foul. Instead of accepting the verdict, and the criticism, he launches more irresponsible litigation. “Our actions were to de-escalate and seek a negotiated solution,” he said. The dismissal of contract language for learning and teaching conditions belies this as much as his claim to respect teachers. “I want to say how much I appreciate the work you and your colleagues do .... ” he writes. The line sticks in throats. There are 1,400 fewer special education specialists since 2002, but an ever increasing list of students awaiting tests forced on them by the ministry – a fabricated precondition for extra help. Classroom teachers are told to do some tests themselves to get the ball rolling. They don’t have the time or resources to be

a learning assistant or to replace lost counsellors, speech therapists, or librarians. If Mr. Fassbender appreciated teachers, he’d work with the BCTF to solve problems. He could start with more LAs to assist the growing numbers of grey area students. They’ll be denied support over the next decade as the court appeal creeps through the system again. “Together, we’ve managed to build one of the best education systems in the world,” writes Mr. Fassbender. In 10 years or sooner, it’ll be broken. In 2013, BCTF President Susan Lambert told me it would take $3.3 billion to fix it, not the $1 billion Mr. Fassbender claims now, near Family Day. His responsibility is to taxpayers only. But, wrong-headed ministry thinking is not unique to any party. In 1994, a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal ruled the NDP failed to fund learning disabled students. That prompted North Vancouver to close a learning centre that Grade 3 student Geoffery Moore depended upon. Tribunal chair Heather MacNaughton found inadequate support was “systemic.” It still is. Ms. MacNaughton ordered support replaced within a year. Government appealed, setting a precedent for Mr. Fassbender. To its credit, the NDP acknowledged its early folly before the last election. Adrian Dix promised renewed yearly funding – $265 million over the next three years. He might have turned things around.

THE NEWS/letters online comments Simple solution Roger Craik · Maple Ridge, British Columbia: Re: Change in TransLink tactics (The News, Feb. 7) A simple solution and a relatively cheap one to implement, at that, would be to put a reasonable toll on all major water crossings with the exception of those in downtown Vancouver. The purpose would be to cover the costs of either replacement or renewal of existing or new crossings and associated approaches. Vancouver gets to pay for it’s own internal bridges. Needless to say, the tolling authority must be properly supervised to ensure they control their own costs.

Fate sealed for five-year-olds Emberly from p6

Current BCTF head Jim Iker says kindergarten students who needed support in 2002 went without it until they exited the system. A court appeal seals that fate for this year’s five-year-olds. “I can only imagine what we could achieve together from a position of long-term labour stability,” says Mr. Fassbender in his email leaflet. “As Minister of Education, that remains my goal.” You’d expect to find this kind of doublespeak in George Orwell’s dystopia, 1984.

‘The trees belong to all of us’ Editor, The News: Re: Maple Ridge could be beautiful place (The News, Feb. 7). I would like to lend my support to the sentiments expressed by Allen Lees in this article about tree cutting in Maple Ridge. I really think it is time that we, as a society and district, started looking at our trees, as many do, as a collective resource that belongs to all of us, as it benefits all of us, rather than strictly private property for the ‘owner’ to do with as he or she pleases. When the district, or individual property owners, cut down or mutilate trees, especially mature ones, it doesn’t just affect that little square of earth; it changes views, reduces privacy, reduces wildlife habitat, affects groundwater, removes the cooling effect of shade.

This changes the neighbourhood, and therefore, the neighbourhood should have a say. The district should implement a tree protection bylaw as soon as possible to prevent the further unwarranted destruction of the very reason many people find Maple Ridge so attractive – our abundance of trees. And this bylaw should include language that prohibits the mutilation of trees, as well as the cutting down of trees, unless a certified arborist has deemed the trees to be dangerous, diseased or otherwise unviable in their current state. Mutilating a tree by the now-discredited practice of topping or other severe trimming will pretty much guarantee the tree will not thrive and will need to be cut

down anyway. It also negatively affects property values and quality of life to have a mutilated tree looming over the neighbourhood. The comment by Chuck Goddard, that the district could somehow be liable if a protected tree causes damage, is frustrating. How have so many other cities been able to successfully protect their trees without this liability problem? Has there been any research done on any other successful tree protection bylaws?

Trustees expecting bad news budget ‘Magnitude of shortfall can’t be determined’ by Neil Corbet t staff reporter

Cash-strapped educators are again anticipating a tough budget process for the 2014-2015 school year. The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district heard another bad news report from secretary treasurer Flavia Coughlan at its Wednesday night meeting, as she warned trustees to expect more budget cuts. “The precise magnitude of the shortfall cannot be accurately determined for the 2014/2015 operating grant is announced by the Ministry of Education on March 15,” she said. Once the amount of funding is revealed next month, district staff will have until June 30 to submit a balanced budget back to the ministry. Last year, that was a daunting task. As costs increased and the district’s enrollment fell, the board had to trim $5.6 million from its operating budget of approximately $130 million. However, the ministry made more funds available as the year progressed. The board’s total annual budget for this school year, including operating and capital expenses, is $144 million. The board’s operat-

ing expenses are $127 million, and $114,000 is for staff salaries and benefits. Trustee Ken Clarkson asked Coughlan why, if the already trimmed budget is expected to be balanced this year, the board should expect a shortfall again next year. She answered that staff will receive salary increments, there will be inflationary increases in supplies, services and utilities, and the board must find money to fund recently negotiated CUPE increases on an ongoing basis. The board approved a budget timeline that includes consulting with partner groups, followed by input from those groups and the public on April 16 at Maple Ridge secondary. On the bright side, the board’s per pupil funding is on the upswing, according to predictions. The board looked at enrollment and budget projections for next year, and predicts that enrollment will again drop by 94 full-time equivalents (eight courses). The breakdown is an increase of 80 elementary students, but a drop of 174 secondary school FTEs. That will be 13,270.25 FTE regular school-age students. It is estimated that the decline in enrollment will continue again for the following year, but just a drop of 37 students, and then stabilize in 2016/17. That would end 12 years of falling student numbers. “These are just best estimates –

a lot of things can change before September,” said Coughlan. “It’s really good to see things are leveling off,” said board chair Mike Murray. “Considering we are funded based on that [enrollment], that’s helpful.” These enrollment number are used by the Education Ministry to calculate operating grants, which will be announced by March 15. Financial statements for the present budget year showed all expenditures and revenues are trending within budget.

“Trustees, and this board included, have long been asking government to stabilize funding systems.” Ken Clarkson, trustee Clarkson noted that the budget process is made more difficult by the provincial government not offering consistent, predictable funding. “Trustees, and this board included, have long been asking government to stabilize funding systems,” he said. Murray agreed the province needs a “better mousetrap.” “It’s hard to do budgeting when you’re not sure what will be afforded to you every year.”

Pitt scraps centennial park for Osprey Staff to find new location for it by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

park an unnecessary taxpayer expense, but also worried that vandals and vagrants would find the location attractive. Coun. Tracy Miyashita believes people were confused by the term “memorial” garden. “People think it’s like a cemetery and that’s not it,” she said, adding she enjoys spending time reflecting by the Fraser River in Osprey Village. “You could buy a

plaque for an anniversary or a loved one. I think it would have really enhanced the area.” Council has proposed relocating the garden to Airport Way and Bonson Road, a location that’s already slated for another park project. The project was expected to cost $130,000, with $65,000 coming from the city and the rest in grants. The memorial garden was designed to be

7.5 metres in diameter and around 10.5 metres in length, and feature 10-centimetre by 10-centimetre granite markers engraved with a name and date. The conceptual design for the garden included a space for public art and parks staff said it could also feature “poetry or uplifting sentiments or, perhaps a medallion or artwork” within the plaza area.

The design for the garden included a space for public art.

Pitt Meadows has scrapped plans for a garden in Osprey Village to memorialize loved ones and commemorate the city’s centennial after the project was resoundingly rejected by neighbours. At a committee meeting Tuesday, council directed staff to find another location for the park. “It’s sad,” said Mayor Deb Walters, adding she would have liked to see the commemorative feature and public art in Osprey Village. “The vocal people spoke out loud and clear against it. That won’t be going ahead, but we’ll find another location.” Several residents considered the proposed

It should be done for transparency: mayor She was in favour of forming an independent review committee, a were Couns. Gwen O’Connell and Tracy Miyashita. “It should be done for transparency. It’s a really good exercise for the public to see where the money is going.” As per the Council Indemnity Bylaw, created by a committee of residents in 2008, council salaries are reviewed on Jan. 1 each year. The mayor’s salary is then adjusted to 75 per cent of the published median salary of all Metro Vancouver mayors for the preceding year, while councillors make 37.5 per cent of the mayor’s salary. Since the last review, however, Pitt Meadows council salaries have risen 50 per cent. In 2013, the mayor earned $70,864, compared to $47,160 in 2008. Councillors made $26,574, compared to $17,544 in 2008. From 2012 to 2013, salaries went up seven per cent, causing councillors to recommend the city review them or disregard the bylaw. Walters said an independent committee would have been able to properly investigate compensation, including issues such as education expenses, pensions and health benefits. She acknowledged that the committee

could have returned with a recommendation to hike wages, but that’s just speculation. “But you can say you appreciate the work they did and take some points of it. You don’t have to implement all of it,” she added. Miyashita agreed. “It removed us from the equation when there was a citizen’s group,” she said, echoing the mayor’s comments about transparency. Miyashita’s colleagues

pointed out that the citizen’s committee was formed in 2007 because council salaries had not increased in 12 years and had fallen far behind their Metro counterparts. “It seems like we have caught up now,” said Coun. Bruce Bell. “So why would we want to waste citizens’ time? I think we are adequately paid for what we do.” Coun. Janis Elkerton sees her role as councillor as a public ser-

vice. “I don’t think of it as a salary,” she said, adding she was worried that a committee could have returned with recommendations for another increase or more benefits. “We’ve already been adjusted up. The Consumer Price Index would keep it in synch.” Council will formally vote on the motion to match wages increases to the Consumer Price Index at a regular meeting Tuesday.

Maple Ridge This Month

MID MONTH UPDATE: FEBRUARY 2014

SPOTLIGHT ON: Bright Ideas for Energy Savings Greg Moore Youth Centre Renovations Include New Lighting Over the last couple of weeks the Greg Moore Youth Centre has been undergoing a bit of a facelift. When the facility reopened on Family Day, February 10, the young people who use the facility noted that it seemed much brighter. While part of that might be as a result of some of the freshly painted walls and new carpeting, a lot of that ‘brightness’ comes from above. As part of the annual maintenance shutdown the lighting in the activity area was upgraded. The new six lamp fluorescent T5 fixtures create a brighter and more even light on the activity space and, compared to the old 400 watt mercury vapour lights they replace, energy consumption for this space will be reduced by approximately 10,000 kilowatt hours per year. This technology will also be used to replace the lighting in the Leisure Centre gym as phase two of this project rolls out. To put this in context, this is the equivalent of the energy used to power two homes for a whole year and represents an energy savings to the District of between $1500 and $2000 annually. As energy prices continue to rise, these annual savings will increase as well.

Left: Old Lights, Right: New Lights

Whenever we have a maintenance or renovation project we look at how we can apply innovative technologies to improve our efficiency and sustainability. In this case the quality of light in both activity areas is much better than before, and it costs less to run the lights. These kinds of technologies are also available to homeowners to help you reduce your energy consumption. We encourage you to look at the information on the BC Hydro website at bchydro.com to see how you can retrofit your home as you do regular maintenance and upgrades in your home. Bright ideas. Big savings.

In addition to the online questionnaire there are two other outreach programs. You will find interactive posters located in the lobbies of the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre, Ridge Meadows Seniors Centre and Municipal Hall. The colourful posters allow you to make comments and share your views on this important work. The third program is a tool called ‘coMap’ that allows you to share your ideas about housing types and tenure for specific locations in the community. This tool can be reached on the Housing Action Plan homepage at mapleridge.ca.

In 2011, the District adopted the Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) along with other communities in Metro Vancouver. The RGS identifies the importance and need for affordable housing with a range of options, as being an important part of a complete community. The amended Regional Context Statement (RCS) in the Official Community Plan (OCP) identifies the District’s commitment to completing a Housing Action Plan (HAP) to address policies for complete communities in the RGS.

Later in February the District will be hosting an information session on water cross connections to explain the best practices to ensure that our public water system is safe and secure.

Registration for kindergarten will reopen in late February. their keyboards. When the clock struck noon, classes started to fill up. That Pitt Meadows kindergarten class was full by 12:02. Laity View’s class, which is also French immersion, filled in about five minutes. The district also offers other choice programs, such as the environmental school, which were popular. Computers at school and public libraries were designated for kindergarten registration, and made available to parents who didn’t have other access to an online computer. “The only feedback I’ve had about the kin-

dergarten registration has been great,” board chairman Mike Murray told his fellow trustees at Wednesday night’s meeting. Acting superintendent Laurie Meston noted that the registration numbers are as expected. “Parents have been very positive, and our programs are full,” she said. Meston acknowledged there were some “little glitches” on the first year of the program’s rollout. For example, some of the addresses in new subdivisions were not yet recognized by the system.

Last year, parents wanting to get their children into the kindergarten French Immersion program at Pitt Meadows elementary camped out at the school the night before registration. This year, there was a more dignified process, as the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district went online with kindergarten registration. Parents were able to log onto the district website in advance of the registration day for a practice run, to ensure they had all the information necessary prior to the first-come, first-served online signup. On computer, it can be determined down to the millisecond. The big day was Jan. 15 at noon. Parents of kindergartners were ready to go, with forms filled out and their fingers poised above the “return” button on

“But it was nothing serious, and our technical people were outstanding,” said Meston. “It sure was easier for parents, and that’s what we want.” The board is not aware of any other board in the province that uses online kindergarten registration, and has developed a system that the board hoped might be sale-able to other school districts in the future. The choice kindergarten programs are now full – French immersion, Montessori and Environmental school. However, there are still a couple of spots open at Kanaka Creek, which offers a year-round school calendar. Registration is currently closed as the district processes all the enrollments taken to date. The site will reopen in late February, and be remain available until school starts in September.

I don’t have a problem with that.” One criticism is that government is removing Election Canada’s powers to promote voter participation in election. Kamp, though, says the legislation tries to say that Elections Canada’s main role is to tell people where and how to vote. Nevertheless, that section may be up for review. “It think the government is open to hearing suggestions.” Individual campaign donation limits have also been raised to $1,500, while union and corporate donations continue to be banned.

The committee will also look at modifying the list of acceptable identification. According to the federal NDP, changes to the act make it more difficult for seniors, students, aboriginal and poor people to prove their right to vote. The NDP also says the bill doesn’t give Elections Canada the power to investigate electoral fraud, such as what happened during the “robocalls” scandal of the 2011 election, in which voters were misdirected to polls. But Kamp says moving the commissioner of elections to the government’s prosecutions office will give it more power. “It is an investigation function. He’ll have the

The approved Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school board remuneration policy does not provide an automatic annual increase for trustees. It only outlines the processes by which the board considers trustee remuneration. Trustee remuneration may be adjusted for a cost of living adjustment on July 1 of each year. Incorrect information appeared in the Feb. 7 edition of The News, “CUPE bristles as trustees take cost-of-living increase.”

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! For answer key go to the classifieds section in the back of the paper.

Pitt going for world food bank record Aiming to collect 600,000 pounds of food in 24 hours

about 50 pounds of food per person in Pitt Meadows,” said O’Connell. “We’re going to break, break, break the record.” O’Connell has already registered with Guinness World Records and has a roster of 600 people committed to helping her collect food. “What I am hoping for this event is that we have some neighbourhood heroes come forward,” she explains. These people will collect food in their neighbourhood and bring it to Wesbrooke, where it will be loaded into trucks organized by Friends in Need. “It would be awesome

The Friends in Need Food Bank and Wesbrooke seniors home are gearing up to break a Guinness world record for the most food collected in one day. Spearheaded by Pitt Meadows Coun. Gwen O’Connell, who works at Wesbrooke, the plan is to gather more than 600,000 pounds of food. “We will need to collect

to get local realtors, soccer clubs, scouts, girl guides and PACs from the local schools,” O’Connell added. The record for the largest food drive in 24 hours was set by the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics Food Drive, which collected 254,493 kilograms (559,885 pounds) of food in Durham in March 2011. The food was collected over a 18-hour period. Last year, the Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank, which broke the record in 2008, attempted to win it back by collecting 560,000 pounds of food. The drive unfortunate-

ly fell short, but still collected 520,000 pounds of food. Pitt Meadows will attempt to break North Carolina’s record on April 12.

The heron bike rack outside Pitt Meadows city hall. Colleen Flanagan/ THE NEWS

Heron bike rack from Oregon Art committee tried its best to source from Canada by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

Pitt Meadows was forced to have an Oregon company produce a bike rack that serves as functional piece of art at city hall after attempts to find a Canadian supplier were exhausted. The heron-shaped rack now sits outside city hall as a salute to a bird ubiquitous in Pitt Meadows waterways. “We really tried hard to go Canadian,” said Linda Nelson, a local artist

who sat on the now-defunct public arts committee. With a budget of $3,500, the group priced out every possible supplier in Canada, but found their prices prohibitively expensive for customized metal work. Creative Metal Works, based in Portland, was the only company that could craft the heron for the budgeted price. “We had to find a company that specialized in it and was able and produce it,” said Yvonne Chiu, an arts and culture recreation manager with Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Parks and Leisure Services. “No one locally could custom-make anything. It’s quite specialized work.”

Live In Caretaker - Whonnock Community Centre Detailed applications from qualified contractors are being accepted until 12:00 noon on Friday, February 28, 2014: Live In Caretaker - Whonnock Community Centre. Services include, but are not limited to:

• • • • •

Custodial, ongoing cleaning and minor maintenance duties in and around a large rental hall. Supervision of a community hall and hall users. Customer service and managing hall users. Clean up after events and bookings. Preparation for bookings, hall viewings, table/chair and equipment set-up.

Liability insurance and a criminal record search is mandatory for all contractors.

The District of Maple Ridge should tighten up its parking ticket procedures to ensure motorists parking beneath the Leisure Centre are treated fairly, says a Mission motorist. Kevin Bereti got a $20 ticket for overstaying his parking limit on Feb. 7 and questions the timing written on the ticket. His ticket expired at 10:27 a.m., while the time given on the ticket was noted at 10:57 a.m. But Bereti says he took a cellphone picture of the ticket and the time in the photo showed only 10:44 a.m. “I don’t know what’s going on down there. You can ask the District of Maple Ridge how many tickets they’re giving out there.”

Work-life off balance Black Press

More than half of B.C. residents admit their worklife balance is out of whack, according to a new poll by Insights West. The online survey found 55 per cent of B.C. respondents said work definitely or probably takes precedence over their lifestyle, while just 31 per cent called their work-lifestyle balance “perfect.” “The survey clearly shows that the era of the 9-to-5 job is unquestionably over,” Insights West

Bylaws director Liz Holitzki says the ticket stub issued by the machine can provide definition verification of when the parking ticket expired. Bylaw officers usually then give five minutes’ grace. “If anybody feels we made an error, by all means, have them give me a call and we’ll try to straighten it out.” Bereti, though, says he just paid the ticket. Holitzki said the underground lot is a busy place and getting busier with motorists looking for space when they use the library, arts centre, Leisure Centre, municipal hall and RCMP detachment. It’s the first place bylaw officers visit in the morning to ensure parking limits are followed, with frequent patrols throughout the day. The first hour of parking is free, but motorists still have to get a ticket from the machine. If they don’t, even if they park for less than an hour, they can get a $50 ticket for failing to register their vehicle in that parking spot. vice-president Mario Canseco said. More than two thirds of those polled reported having to stay late at work in the last six months and 42 per cent said they had to work from home at night. Around 40 per cent also said they’ve had to miss another engagement due to work, work from home on a weekend, take a work-related call on the cellphone while with family or friends, or reply to an email. Only 15 per cent of employed B.C. residents did not endure any of those problems in the last six months, the poll found.

Looks Last year, Nissan introduced the bigger mid-sized Pathfinder SUV and this smaller Rogue shares many styling cues from its bigger brother. This, in my opinion, is a good idea. It has a sense of purpose, sophistication and commonality that helps define Nissan’s brand. Nissan wants to portray “everyday premium” with this new Rogue, including such nice touches as LED daytime running lights, wheel arch extensions, integrated mirror turn

7-passenger SUV. Granted, the third row is tight but perfect for those occasional times when extra family members are in town. In addition, this package includes navigation, a 7-inch touch screen monitor, power lift gate, blind-spot detection system, and lane departure warning system. These really are premium features found only in luxury SUVs just a few short years ago. Unfortunately, the top SL trim is only available in a two-row 5-seat configuration because

it was felt the price would be too high for compact SUV buyers. Drive As hard as it might be to believe, this new, larger and slightly heavier (49kg) Rogue is actually more fuel-efficient than the last model. They were able to improve the economy by 18 per cent through the introduction of a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), aerodynamic tricks, and letting the carried-over engine breathe a bit better. Still rated at 170hp, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine does a good job in city driving, thanks to the gearing of the new CVT but can seam a bit underpowered for higher, passing manouevre on the highway. Overall, the person filling the new Rogue up with fuel will welcome this balance of efficiency and everyday drivability. As part of the winter driving experience, I drove on an ice course in Macaglisse, Que., to highlight the vehicle’s stability system and the Active Trace Control feature. On the first run, through the twisty, sheer ice roads the entire system was shut off. As I crested a hill, then made a hard right turn, the Rogue slid all

the way out to the edges of the corner, almost hitting the opposing snow bank. On the second run, with the advanced systems on, the same road was almost uneventful. The stability and traction control kept the wheels from spinning but the Trace Control System provides just a slight amount of brake force to the inside wheels to help the Rogue navigate the sheet ice with confidence. Verdict The objective with this new Rogue was to be noticed and provide a level of refinement and creature comforts that the competition isn’t providing. The pricing is fantastic, especially the middle SV models. The larger interior dimensions will always be welcome, as buyers like to get more for their money, but it is still small and efficient enough for city buyers.

Trust your Cherokee Pearson airport. No need to panic, I thought. When you’re in these kinds of situations, you say things that you normally wouldn’t say. “I will be so happy when we are back in Ontario,” is a phrase not often uttered by a B.C. resident. But it fell from my lips. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right? The one thing that remained steadfast and calm throughout the craziness was the Jeep Cherokee. The leather-trimmed seats were plush and comfortable to sit in for hours on end. When I started veering off the straight and narrow – out of my lane – the lane departure warning would gently lead me back into place. And since it was frigid outside – Ontario and Michigan in January are anything but tropical – features like a remote starter, heated seats, a heated steering wheel and dual climate zone controls keep occupants toasty. Not to mention there was a

And with 4x4 capabilities, I was ready to brave the winter conditions, on bare roads or not. Luckily, it was a beautiful day, with few clouds in the sky and clear roads. Things were looking good. Then it happened. A sign. A sign to Canada, nonetheless. Looks like we’d been routed through Sarnia. I was doing a little happy dance on the inside. Did I doubt the GPS’s ability to lead? I sure did. Then again, it’s not out of my character to question authority. As we handed the CBSA our passports, all I could think about was finding a fuel station before we got stranded. And, yes, I was happy to be in Ontario. But I’d be happier when I knew I was on a plane to Vancouver. Yet, I was thoroughly

three-metre chocker chain, a clevis, snatch block, five-centimetre tree trunk protector, gloves, and a carrying case. Prices are generally between $250 and $375 depending upon the manufacturer. Most winches are offered with a winch hook strap to ensure that operators do not put hands and fingers in harm’s way. Always wear gloves when operating a winch or handling wire rope. A single line pull is one of the most basic winching operations. It involves rigging the wire rope to a stable anchoring point and spooling it in to pull the vehicle toward the anchor point. This type of pull can also be used to extract a truck without a winch; the winch equipped truck becomes the anchor point and the stuck vehicle is pulled toward it. It is a good idea to throw a jacket or blanket over the wire rope midway between the winch and the anchor point. This will prevent the cable from whipping back to the truck in the event of breakage. A tree can serve as an excellent anchor point, but never attempt to wrap a wire rope or chain around it. In addition to being extremely dangerous, this improper winching practice can damage or kill the tree. Use a tree saver strap, along with a clevis. When a truck is seriously stuck, more winching power can be achieved through a double line pull. To do so, un-spool a length of a line from the drum and thread it through a snatch block. The cable’s hook can then be fastened to an anchor point on the truck’s frame or tow hook, and the snatch block will secure to an anchor point toward the direction of the pull. This method decreases the number of layers of wire rope on the drum and greatly increases pulling power. A snatch block can also be used to change the direction of the pull, without the wire rope collecting on one side of the drum. If you have followed the basic principle of four-wheeling and brought a buddy or a second vehicle, then chances are you will have some assistance in the recovery. Sometimes all a stuck vehicle needs is a little motivation. In those instances, a quality recovery strap ($53) will work fine. Knowing how to operate a winch correctly is as important as knowing how to drive the 4x4 it is mounted to. ian.harwood@ drivewaybc.ca

Georgie Award winners take home the gold By Kerry Vital

Taking home a little golden statue isn’t just for Oscar winners. On Feb. 1, British Columbia’s best residential builders, renovators, designers and marketers were honoured with their own golden prizes at the Georgie Awards. The Georgie Awards are presented by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC,

and recognize the best of the best in B.C.’s residential home construction industry. “The excellent work from the winners – and indeed all the finalists – demonstrates that B.C. is truly the leader when it comes to innovative design and quality construction,” says CHBA BC President Rob Capar. This year’s gala ceremony took place at the Vancouver Convention Centre West, emceed by broadcaster Wayne Cox. Among this year’s big winners was Portrait Homes, who took home five awards. “We have an incredibly talented team that design and build great homes in fantastic communities,” says Robert Grimm, principal at Portrait. “I couldn’t be more proud of our team for their continued dedication and commitment to being the best they can be!” Portrait was honoured with the Customer Choice Georgie Awards, as well as the awards

for Single Family Production Home Builder of the Year and Residential Community of the Year and Best Landscape Design for Hampstead in Maple Ridge. “Potential home owners can be confident in purchasing a Portrait home,” says Grimm. “We are dedicated to looking after our home owners the way they deserve to be looked after.” Adera Development Corporation also went home a winner, with awards for Best MultiFamily Low Rise Development for Sail at the University of British Columbia and MultiFamily Home Builder of the Year. Solterra Developments was also wellrepresented at the Georgies, with their awards for Best Project Identity, Best Multi-Family Kitchen – New and Best Interior Design Display Suite – Single-Family or MultiFamily, all for Keefer Block in Vancouver.

Talisman Homes took home the Best Single Family Home up to 2,000 Square Feet under $500,000 for their home at Tsawwassen Springs, while first-time winner Saiya Developments Ltd. received the Best Single Family Home over 2,000 Square Feet under $750,000.

Water, protect this valuable resource

M By Mike Lascelle

ost of the things that I love to do in my spare time involve water, whether it’s the rush of riding a wave at a Tofino beach, the serenity of diving beneath them or kayaking our beautiful lakes and rivers.

It is this abundance of water that makes British Columbia such a beautiful place to live, yet we remain the only province in Canada that has yet to regulate this valuable resource. While local greenhouses pay exorbitant monthly fees for metered city water, international companies such as Nestle (the largest foodstuff corporation in the world) pump an average of 319 million litres of groundwater a year out of their Hope bottling plant for absolutely nothing. Even more alarming is the former CEO (now chairman) Peter Brabeck’s public opinion that “water is a food and like any other food it should have a market value”– meaning that it wants to charge you a premium price for its bottled water, but doesn’t want to pay for the commodity itself. Even when the new Water Sustainability Act comes into effect later this spring, at the proposed billing rate of 85 cents per 1,000 cubic metres of water, Nestle would only pay about $265 a year given current production levels. The world’s water supply is depleting fast and its scarcity has caught the attention of multinational companies looking to profit from it. The aforementioned Nestle’s foray into bottled water production in Pakistan has devastated the competing community well (in Bhati Dilwan) as groundwater levels have dropped from 100 feet ’ down to 300-400. And while Pakistan may seem like some far-off place, we have our own concerns here, particularly with the Grant Hill aquifer on Thornhill. Just south of the border, in California, an unprecedented drought has caused the state agency there to declare that it will be unable to provide irrigation water to a million acres of

farmland, and municipalities serving 25 million people will also be out of luck. Imagine living in a place with no water, this despite an advanced infrastructure of reservoirs, pumps, aqueducts and pipelines created just to ensure that this would never happen. Then there’s China, where a 2013 water census revealed that some 28,000 rivers have disappeared or dried up since the 1950s due to diversion, agricultural and industrial needs (65 per cent agricultural, 23 per cent industrial, 12 per cent domestic use). Some of these empty river beds are being filled with treated sewage and industrial run-off to give

at least the appearance of a natural water course, albeit one that is absolutely useless for human needs. A quick look at the San Antonio River in Texas reveals the same problem, as it would be totally dry in the current extended drought were it not being pumped full of treated sewage. Again, because this part of the city has a Granville Island-like riverfront with dining, shopping and pedestrian paths, appearances have to be maintained. When you add all the hydraulic gas fracking that the U.S. has committed to and the tremendous amounts of water required in

this process (as well as the potential harm to underground aquifers) we are potentially looking at some pretty dry times. Canada has 20 per cent of the world’s freshwater, and we need to protect this valuable resource at the municipal, provincial and federal levels so that our children have a chance to drink freely, swim in clean lakes and grow healthy local produce. Water isn’t a privilege that we must purchase. It is a basic human right.

The Ridge Meadows Burrards under-15 women’s field lacrosse team won the B.C. Lacrosse Association’s provincial championship last weekend at Willoughby Park Complex in Langley. Megan Kinna was selected as the tournament’s Most Valuable Player in the division, and Daniela Carey was one of six players to win a Fair Play Award. They beat Port Coquitlam 12-3 in the final game, and posted three other convincing wins: 14-5 over Coquitlam, 13-4 against Langley, and 7-1 over New Westminster. The 10-team event also featured an under-12 division, and while the Burrards did not place in the medals, their coach Chris Gill won the coaches fair play award, Rianna Arce won a player fair play award, and the team won the sportsmanship award.

Benefits of exercise better understood

ince February is Heart Month, it is a good time to remind ourselves how important exercise is for the heart and cardiorespiratory system as a whole. But save for knowing that the heart speeds up while exercising, not many people realize the extensive and intricate processes that go on within the body once you start. Immediate changes begin to happen during the first minutes of your workout – even if you are out of shape and haven’t exercised in years. Here then, are just some of those amazing changes. Once your mind has motivated to move you to walk, run, cycle, swim, play or work, signals are sent to the muscles causing contractions and begin the process of burning energy. This starts a chain reaction of chemicals and hormones being released that effects every part of your body. But even before you start moving, hormones from the adrenal gland are released in anticipation and this stimulate the heart to change. The heart not only increases how fast it contracts (heart rate), but also the volume of blood it pumps with each contraction (stroke volume). More blood fills the chambers of the heart, the recoil of the muscle wall is higher, producing a more forceful contraction. Stroke volumes in non-athletes average

Her younger brother Harold “Bill” Rice (Patsy) of Scotts Valley, California and best friends June Gavin & Edie Naganobu also survive her. Ev moved to Vancouver as a young girl and attended Van Horne and John Oliver schools. After graduation she attended Vancouver Art School where she began a lifetime of artistic pursuits. Ev and Doug met and married in Vancouver and built their first house on Dumfries St. In the early 60’s they immigrated to California, staying for 4 years and making many lifelong friends. The family moved back to Vancouver in 1966 and started a business, Bekk Die-Craft, where Ev and Doug worked until their retirement. In 1983 they moved to Maple Ridge and enjoyed traveling to Europe, US and Mexico, and studying family genealogy. After Doug’s death, Ev furthered her artistic skills with the Garibaldi Art Club, played bridge, and spent time socializing with her family. There will be no service as per her request, but a donation may be made in her honour to a charity of your choice. Her legacy of artwork that adorns our walls will continue to remind us of her.
