Schools still on full strike

the U N L I M I T E D FAM I LY P L A N

Now families that bank together, save together.

Negotiations were to resume Tuesday, no word yet on summer school by Ne i l Cor be tt staff reporter

The teachers strike began Tuesday, with high school students left to prepare on their own, and the parents of elementary students wondering whether the school year is done. Sabrina Mattson has a son in Grade 11 with four provincial exams to write, and no teachers to help him prepare in the final days. “I’m worried how he’s going to do that,” she said. “Our teachers are excellent at SRT, they put in tons of extra time tutoring – I don’t know when they eat.” Mattson is involved with parent advisory councils at both the secondary and elementary levels. She is the PAC chair for Samuel Robertson Technical, and also the DPAC representative for Alexander Robinson elementary. She said elementary students, who were to remain in class until June 26, have also been frustrated by the situation, even if they aren’t taking exams. Her son’s Grade 6 class had planned a trip to Daybreak Point for four days, but that year-end wrap-up event was lost. His teacher tried to make it up to the class by holding a “camp week” in the days before job action shut down schools.

Hammond residents have been asking for help for a few years, said Eric Phillips. He, along with the Hammond elementary parent advisory council and RCMP have been asking for a sidewalk on Lorne Ave. The fourway stop sign will allow Hammond kids to get to Hammond elementary. Originally, the district offered an asphalt sidewalk with a concrete curb. But residents wanted a concrete sidewalk, which they now have.

A call to freeze to Pitt council salaries They have risen 50 per cent in six years, staff pay up too by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

Pitt Meadows councillor is calling for a freeze in council salaries, which have increased 50 per cent since they were last reviewed six years ago. According to financial statements released this week, the mayor earned $70,864 in 2013, compared to $47,160 in 2008. The mayor also received a total stipend of $14,160 from Metro Vancouver for being a director. When base salary and benefits are combined, councillors made $27,756 in 2013 compared to $17,544 in 2008. “We’ve made it like a salary,” said Coun. Janis Elkerton, adding she see her role as a councillor as a public service. Salary rates for council are adjusted each year according to a formula based on the median of the published salary of all Metro Vancouver mayors for the immediately preceding year. The formula was put into place in 2008 following the recommendations of an independent committee of citizens, but was called flawed this year after council saw a seven per cent increase between 2012 and 2013. Council attempted to deal with the bylaw this year, but was unable to reach a compromise. Mayor Deb Walters and Couns. Tracy Miyashita and Gwen O’Connell want to establish another independent committee to investigate how to compensate elected officials. Others on council wanted to scrap the bylaw and tack increases to inflation or the Consumer Price Index for Metro Vancouver for the preceding year. If re-elected in November, Elkerton intends to call for a freeze in council salaries, following the lead of Maple Ridge council, which hasn’t seen a raise since 2009. Coun. Bruce Bell supports a freeze

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

City of Pitt Meadows employee salaries rose 4.4 per cent last year. and believes an independent committee would be a waste of citizens’ time. “We need to find ways to cut back on spending,” said Bell. “Could we hold the salaries of council? I think we can. I think we are adequately paid for what we do.” Mayor Walters also wants the issue of salaries addressed, but still wants it investigated by an independent committee. “It’s important to go through the process again,” said Walters. “I don’t know if a cost of living increase is too much, but we would find that out with a review,” she added. “Personally, I didn’t think we deserved any increase this year. I think our wages are fair at this point in time, but you also have to keep up otherwise you fall behind, because that’s what happened before.” Council isn’t the only group to see

their salaries go up over the past year. According to financial statements, city employees salaries rose to $4,498,578 in 2013, a 4.4 per cent increase from $4,307,915 in 2012. When compared over a period of five years, it’s a 20-per-cent increase in wages. Staff earning more than $75,000 stayed steady in 2013, with 21 staff in the category compared to 22 in 2012 . In 2012, the city’s chief administrator officer made $195,134, more than federal Canadian ministerial chiefs of staff, whose salaries top out at $178,800. City spending and salaries still pale in comparison to other Metro Vancouver municipalities. Vancouver’s city manager earns more than $320,000 annually. “This should send a chill down a taxpayer’s spine,” said Jordan Bate-

man, B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “These are costs that never get rolled back and continue to increase. It’s hard to argue that you are getting any more service for that money.” Bateman believes councils can control labour costs and points to Penticton, which negotiated down starting wages, as well as Prince George, which signed a four-year contract with its union earlier this year that includes a net zero increase for the first two years. “There are solutions, but you just need a council that has the gumption to put them into place,” he said. Pitt Meadows signed an agreement with its CUPE workers on March 4. It expires on March 31, 2016 and has annual increases of 1.25 per cent,1.75 per cent, 1.75 per cent and two per cent.

Maple Ridge council salaries frozen since 2009 by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Maple Ridge councillors are doing their part to rein in spending of public tax dollars. The yearly take-home pay for each of the six councillors has remained frozen, at just under $43,000, for five years, and is even a few hundred dollars lower than what they were making in 2009. The present council decided to freeze its wages at the current salary after it

was elected in November 2011. It did so after the previous council in 2009 also rejected a 13-per-cent hike for councillors and a nine-per-cent raise for the mayor. It may be time to look at the issue again after this November’s civic election, said Coun. Judy Dueck, who started the discussion three years ago. “I think the new council should look at the policy as a whole. I don’t think it’s something this council should do.” Previous policy was to compare councillors’ pay with other Metro Vancouver cities.

“All that does is keep the momentum going,” Dueck said. But waiting too long to give politicians an increase could result in steep hikes to catch up. Instead, Dueck said maybe a committee with representation from members of the public can figure out a system. She added that it’s never an easy thing for council to vote on a raise for itself and liked the past practice of the present council setting the wages for the incoming council. And those running for office shouldn’t consider a position on coun-

cil as a job, but rather as a way of serving the community. “People shouldn’t run for office because they’re depending on the money.” Because then you end up running because you need the income rather serving the community, she added. Coun. Cheryl Ashlie, who’s not seeking re-election, says salaries for politicians and public sector staff have to be brought under control and favours some kind of external agency to set salaries.

‘People frustrated that kids missing out’ Strike from front

They did many of the activities they would have done at Daybreak Point. “He made it as fun as possible.” Stacy MacLennan has been one of the organizers of the parent protests outside local MLA offices, asking for more funding in the public school system. There has been a lot of talk about the teachers strike at the eight rallies. “People are really frustrated and upset that their kids are missing out on things,” she said.

MacLennan has sons in kindergarten and Grade 2, and both had field trips cancelled because of the government lockout. The elder was heading to Science World, while the younger one was bound for Belcarra Regional Park. “It was anti-climactic – both of my sons were pretty upset when I told them that Friday might be their last day of school.” Elementary parents are left in limbo, wondering if the two sides will resolve their dispute, or whether the school year

is a write-off. “We’re still waiting for a definite answer,” said MacLennan. Mattson said she doesn’t blame the teachers. “They had no choice but to do this – they’ve been without a contract for a year.” She appreciates that teachers are arguing for small classes, and points out that they have two court victories on that matter. “I can definitely see the impact of bigger classrooms and class composition,” she said.

“I’ve been a school volunteer for 12 years, and I wouldn’t want their job.” The RN noted there are 11 students in one grade who were identified as having special needs. To give teachers a functioning working environment, there should not be more than three such students in any given classroom, but that would require four different classrooms to spread the workload created by those 11 students. “And for every kid who’s coded, there’s another one who is not yet

identified.” “I’m in there all the time, and I see what a struggle it is.” MacLennan did not want to weigh in on bargaining issues publicly. “For me, the issue is the adequate funding of schools. I’m not concerned with the teacher salaries – I just think it should be fair,” she said. “Public education is a right that we have,” she added. “I would love to just get on with my life, and send my kids to school, and know they’re getting the opportunities that they deserve.”

sociation, is offering seven per cent over six years, and a $1,200 signing bonus – which is conditional to the deal being ratified in June. Class size is a point of contention. Whether teachers have a right to negotiate class size is a matter still before the courts. The province wants class sizes set at the levels contained in the School Act to be added to the collective agreement. It would included $75 million in a Learning Improvement Fund to address issues of class size and composition. The BCTF is asking for additional funds to resolve all the union’s outstanding grievances concerning class size. The amount is not yet tallied. The union is also asking the province to establish a Workload Fund, which would be used to hire new teachers. No amount of funding is specified. The issue of summer school has not yet been decided. If a deal is not reached, Fassbender has said the province will lift its lockout to allow teachers back to work. However, the union has not indicated whether it will lift its strike for summer students.

‘Costs keep rising’

The two sides said they would be bargaining through the weekend. On Monday, BCTF president Jim Iker criticized the government negotiators, saying they received the union’s offer on Friday, and did not respond with a counter offer until Sunday evening. He said the teachers’ offer was within one per cent of that by the government offer. Still, a full-scale strike went ahead Tuesday, when the two sides were set to resume negotiations. “I appreciate that everyone – especially parents, students and teachers – had hoped to see an agreement over the weekend,” Education Minister Peter Fassbender said in a statement. “Our goal remains to get to an agreement by June 30 and put this disruption behind us. I’m certain that everyone involved wants to head into the summer with the assurance that our education system is on a path to long-term stability.” The BCTF proposal asks for eight per cent over five years, and a $5,000 signing bonus.

Otherwise, each city compares its salaries to each other and costs keep rising, she said. “I want a completely different system,” Ashlie added. “I don’t know how this sustainable. I just don’t.” The freeze on politicians’ wages should extend to the next council as well, Ashlie said. “I think we’re pretty well compensated. I think it’s fair. “When everything is so tight … we just have to show cost containment. I think we just have to hold the line.” Mayor Ernie Daykin earned $99,435. Daykin is also paid as a director on the board for Metro Vancouver and in 2012, earned $23,732 in that position. According to the statement of financial information released last week, Maple Ridge spent a million dollars more on salaries for those earning more than $75,000 yearly last year than the previous one.

In 2012, the District of Maple Ridge paid a total of $12.9 million for staff earning more than $75,000 a year. In 2013, the district paid a total of $13.9 million for staff earning more than $75,000 a year. The increase is result of employees, many of them firefighters, moving up through the pay grid as they gain seniority. Many employees are at the top of the grid with no increases scheduled. While more money went to the top earners, the district managed to pare down the wage bill for those earning less than $75,000. That dropped to $17.8 million in 2013 compared to $18.5 million the year before. Total wages paid to District of Maple Ridge employees in 2013 were up by $353,000 from the year before to $31,791,843. • See a list of the district’s top 10 wage earners @ mapleridgenews. com.

Work to start on twinning 128th Ave. Widening between 210th and 224th streets by Phi l M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Harried commuters can breathe a bit easier knowing their rushhour commutes on 128th Avenue will improve – in a few years. Maple Ridge council votes soon on a contract for designing the twinning of 128th Avenue from 210th to 224th streets. Staff are recommending the district award the contract to ISL Engineering and Land Services for just under $192,000. The twinning of that stretch will mean an easier ride from 224th Street westbound to Golden Ears Way or to Old Dewdney Trunk Road. Once a design has been created, it can be brought out for comments by residents in the fall, before the actual work begins in 2015. The intent is to create a fourlane road with a three-metre-wide multi-use pathway for cyclists and pedestrians on the north side. The work will be done in stages, starting next year and finishing in 2018. Total cost for the project is estimated at $9 million. Motorists will have to be content with that for awhile. Further widening of 128th Ave. which becomes Abernethy Way, from 224th to 232nd streets, is

A truck travels west along 128th Avenue, for which the first stage of work to twin is to begin next year. about five to 10 years away. “We don’t have that in our immediate plans,” said district engineer Dave Pollock. And extending 128th or 124th avenue east of 232nd Street – is even further down the road. Pollock said a decision to extend an east-west road to 240th Street will depend on whether a bridge will be built over the South Alouette River at that point. The twinning of the 210th to 224th street section of 128th Ave. starts next year and will follow construction of a Metro Vancouver water main that begins in July along the same right of way. Maple Ridge acquired the right of way in the past few years, buying portions of the frontage lots

from the south side of the existing road. The Agricultural Land Commission didn’t want land incursions on to farmland on the north side of the road. Twinning of 128th Ave. to 224th St. is part of the draft strategic transportation plan that’s still awaiting council approval. While the bid price for the 128th Ave. road design is $192,000, other expenses will push up the final price. An archeological assessment of the site could be required, costing $15,000, as well as an emergency reserve of $19,000. The final version of the draft strategic transportation plan goes to council next week.

THE NEWS/opinion Guest editorial

Contribute wisely Every weekend it seems there is some sort of walk, run, bicycle ride, or obstacle course event to raise money for worthy causes like cancer research, sending kids to summer camp, diabetes. The list goes on. Often participants have to raise a certain amount of pledges to enter the event. They spend countless hours soliciting family and friends to help out, organize their own fundraisers such as pub crawls, garage sales, car washes, and hot dog sales. It’s a symbiotic relationship that seems to leave everyone smiling, and satisfied that they’ve done some good and had a little fun along the way. But is it worth it? Since 2009 MoneySense magazine has graded the performance of Canada’s 100 biggest charities to determine whether money raised to support their causes actually reaches its intended benefactor. Last year those charities raised $4.5 billion. Of that, $3.4 billion went to programs the charities supported. The rest, presumably, was the cost of doing business – paying salaries, promotion, and staging events. Many performed admirably. Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart Charities, for instance, funneled 88 per cent of its spending to programs that support children’s participation in minor sports. The Terry Fox Foundation ploughed 82.4 per cent of its money into cancer programs. Others didn’t fare as well, spending half or more of donated funds just to raise those funds. (A great website to visit is www.charityintelligence.ca) So before signing that pledge form or lacing up those sneakers, it pays to enquire where exactly your money is going. – Black Press Tell us what you think @ www.mapleridgenews.com

Ontario election lessons for B.C. VICTORIA – “Liberal” is becoming one of the most ill-defined words in Canadian politics. Here in B.C., a Liberal is a Conservative, or at least a fiscal conservative, bent on balancing budgets and battling big unions to force them B.C. Views to recognize today’s world of low growth Tom Fletcher and low inflation. In Ottawa, a Liberal is currently whatever Justin Trudeau wakes up and decides. One day he’s a libertarian who wants to legalize marijuana, and the next he’s in touch with his inner Taliban, issuing a moral edict on abortion. In Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne saved her gut-shot Liberal government by limping to the left of the NDP, promising to spend lots more borrowed money and build lots of transit. This is in a have-not province with an operating deficit that is currently running north of $12 billion. For comparison purposes, B.C.’s deficit swelled briefly beyond $3 billion in the wake of the Great Recession of 2009, and the books stayed in the red until last year as the B.C. Liberals unwound the Harmonized Sales Tax and repaid a $1.6 billion HST transfer allowance to Ottawa. You think B.C.’s energy policy is a disaster? Check out Ontario, where the cops are still investigating the $1 billion

cancellation of plans to construct two natural gas-fired power plants before the 2011 election. The gas plants were to stabilize erratic output from wind and solar power, a European-style climate change gesture that involved Ontario ratepayers giving a huge subsidy to Korean tech giant Samsung. The Ontario Liberals clung to power in part by promising a provincial pension scheme on the same scale as the Canada Pension Plan. B.C. has a similar pension program in the works, to be offered to the two thirds of small business and self-employed people who don’t have a group plan with their employer. Ours would, of course, be voluntary. Not so in Ontario, where large and small businesses will be required to cough up half of the required pension payments. The Ontario model is dumb on several levels. It is to be imposed just as the Baby Boom retirement wave breaks across Canada’s most populous province, increasing risk that the pension pool may run dry. And it sticks small business with a new payroll tax in a province that has lost much of its traditional manufacturing base and needs to innovate. Here’s the funny part, if you don’t live in Ontario: Wynne tabled her spendingspree, deficit-be-damned budget in an effort to convince the NDP to keep propping up the Liberal minority government and avoid an election. Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-in-the-sky promises. Ontario is bracing for a down-

grade in its credit rating based on the election result, and is about to go into province-wide bargaining with public service unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree. Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the one presented by Christy Clark in 2013: hold the line on spending, balance the budget, reduce the size of government, stimulate job creation. Hudak was rejected for a second time, and resigned the leadership on election night. B.C. voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the B.C. Liberal version.

“B.C. voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the B.C. Liberal version.” For us, much depends on resource development, including forest products, natural gas and other trade with Asia. If all goes well here, B.C. can continue to send transfer payments to the fantasyland of Ontario.

THE NEWS/letters

Private system taking from public stream Editor, The News: Re: Full strike at schools Tuesday (The News, June 13). Why do parents send their students to private schools? The staff is educated exactly the same. The difference is in delivery. There are smaller class sizes, subject specialists, more one-to-one attention and few special needs kids who take time away from other students. Wouldn’t this be nice for all our students? This is what all our educators are fighting for. Private schools get government funding as well as huge tuition fees. Our government short changes public school students by at least $1,000 each. The schools could do amazing things with proper funding. Our need for technology and library support is not supported by our government, but instead by PACs and constant fund raising by staff, students and parents. This is creating a two-class education system. More students entering the private system is taking more government funding away from the public stream. The bargaining process uses millions of dollars, but has never been effective. Get rid of the employer bargaining group and go back to local bargaining. Put all that wasted money back where it belongs – in the classroom. The government keeps dumping costs that it should be covering onto school boards. How does it expect to pay for higher overhead expenses (such as Hydro, building upgrades, salary raises) from unchanging budgets? The government has created an atmosphere

of conflict between the education groups who ultimately want the same things for our students. The biggest loser is a better education system for our kids. What needs to change is to ensure proper education funding and a new negotiation format. Nina Fowell Maple Ridge

Be accountable Editor, The News: Re: Full strike at schools Tuesday (The News, June 13). I have been a technology education (woodwork) teacher in B.C. for the past 14 years and I am deeply saddened by this labour dispute. I am at the point where I am thinking of new career options. I feel this government tells the public that they care about education, but I have not seen one single act that demonstrates this in the past 12 years. When I first started teaching woodwork, we had set class size and composition limits that reflected safety concerns. When the government stripped our contract, things started to fall apart. My woodwork classes used to be 24 students, with a limit of three special needs students. It is interesting to note that BCIT class size limits are much smaller than the standard public school trades classes.

BCIT teaches adults, not 12- to 14-year olds. A typical class for me now has 30 students, and in some cases seven special needs students. That doesn’t include the many students who have just moved to Canada and don’t speak English, nor the students who are functioning at two to four years below their peers academically, but do not have ministry designations. In shop, classes there are huge safety concerns and this government will not address them. They talk about skills training and handson curriculum, but nothing ever comes of it. My local specialists association, B.C. Technology Teachers, even developed a best practices standards guide regarding safety, and met with the government but were ignored. Parents and PACs need to fight for the quality of their children’s education. Teachers want nothing more than to do their jobs well and meet the needs of the students in their classes. This becomes increasingly difficult when there are no protective limits to ensure a safe, supportive classroom. The provincial government must be held accountable. Class size and composition are essential to education. This government would like people to believe that they are just more things that ‘greedy’ teachers want. Class size and composition are actually the most important elements to the success of students in their education and it seems only teachers are willing to fight for them.

How can this government ignore the safety of children in trades training classes? Presently, I see children falling through the cracks in my classroom, not to mention machines that are falling apart and a supply budget that is smaller than it was when I first started teaching a decade and a half ago. Shop classes should be places where students find success and gain confidence, hopefully leading to rewarding careers or areas of passion. Instead, they are chaotic and overcrowded places where students feel ignored and unsupported. How can I, as a teacher, trust the B.C. Liberals to make the right choices for the students in my classes when all I have witnessed is disregard and underfunding? Jaime Elson Maple Ridge

Don’t blame teachers Editor, The News: Re: Losers in the end (Guest editorial, June 13). Yes, kids are the losers by not “getting extra help in attaining the best marks possible in final unit tests and exams.” But it is the government-imposed lockout that prevents teachers from giving students that extra oneto-one assistance. Please check your facts before blaming teachers for the current chaos in our schools. Diane Stevenson Pitt Meadows

‘Upgrades to may have to wait’

Open House Proposed Wildfire Development Permit Area The District of Maple Ridge is hosting a public open house to obtain input on a proposed Wildfire Development Permit Area with an aim to protect life and property in designated areas that could be at risk for wildland fire. Note that the proposed Wildfire Development Permit is intended to apply only to those lands identified on the map below and only for new development. The information that will be shared at the open house includes how wildfire hazard risk areas may be managed to: • Ensure mitigating construction and development techniques are utilized in new development to help reduce the risk to property and people; • Further reduce the risk of potential post-fire landslides and debris flow. Note that the proposed Wildfire Development Permit Area is not intended to affect existing development. You are invited to participate in the upcoming open house scheduled for: Date: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 Time: Drop-in anytime between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. Location: Fire Hall #1 22708 Brown Avenue Maple Ridge, BC We will be requesting your comments on the proposed Wildfire Development Permit Area at the Open House. Please visit the Maple Ridge website at mapleridge.ca for updates on this review process. If you have any questions on this process, please email fire@mapleridge.ca or call 604-463-5880.

Roads from front

“We’re happy with the sidewalk. We’ve got the design we wanted.” Phillips still wants Maple Cres. improved with sidewalks and repaving. Golden Ears Bridge and the West Coast Express Maple Meadows station both pour vehicles on to the road. “It’s an unsafe area. You get some of these trucks coming around and they’re on the wrong side of the road,” Phillips said. “You can always tell when the train comes

in because it’s like a run of lemmings along Maple Crescent.” Improvements to Maple Cres. may have to wait, though, for completion of the Hammond area plan, now underway. Public works general manager Frank Quinn said people gave their input about the improvements on Lorne Ave. at a May 26 meeting. Design work has taken place for the past year. “The open house on May 26 was the final stage in moving from

concept to the implementation,” Quinn said in the release. “It is gratifying that the community had identified a solution to this issue even before the list was revealed by BCAA. “The improvements are intended to enhance safety for students going to and from Hammond elementary and allow pedestrians and cyclists a safer connection to access bike routes and park facilities in the northern part of Hammond neighbourhood.”

Nearly 6,200 votes were cast in the online survey (bcaa.com/ worstroads), distributed among 1,277 separate stretches of roads around the province. Westside Road, voted worst road two years running, has recently seen a $6.5-million upgrade by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The George Masse Tunnel in Richmond and the Pattulo Bridge in New Westminster also made the top 10 list because of traffic congestion.

Pitt airport replacing general manager Glenn Ralph has been removed by Mo ni s ha M ar tin s staff reporter

Pitt Meadows airport is looking for a new person to take charge of operations after the sudden dismissal of general manager Glenn Ralph on Friday. Ralph was surprised by the airport board’s decision to remove him, saying only it was “without cause.” He added it was too early to comment further. In a statement, the airport’s board of directors linked Ralph’s removal to the implementation of a new strategic plan. Key to that plan is the creation of an airport master plan, which will guide development of the facility in the future. “The board has decided CYPK requires new leadership to execute and champion this critical project,” said the statement. “The board has advised Glenn Ralph of this decision and has agreed to part ways effective immediately.” The board thanked Ralph for his com-

mitment to the airport over the past four years. They “recognized that he brought administrative organization and established financial stability for the airport” and wished him the best in his future endeavours. The board has assigned staff to run the airport in the interim until a new general manager has been appointed. The Pitt Meadows Regional Airport Society took over the airport from the federal government in 1997. The society is currently run by a board of directors appointed by Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows municipal councils. The mayors of both council sit on the board as non-voting directors. Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walter said she has been made aware of the changes at the airport. The airport board is chaired by Murray Day. Other board members include vice-president Mark Miller, treasurer Greg Andrew, Michael Pierce, Dr. Ann McAfee, Geoffrey Johnston, Jim Barrett and RCMP Supt. Dave Walsh.

Maple Ridge not ignored by mayors in TransLink transportation wish list Option could see B-Line service excluded by Phil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows haven’t been left off Metro Vancouver mayors’ 30-year transportation plan. Bus service to Silver Valley, Bline service to SkyTrain, more West Coast Express trains, bike lanes and road funding are all part of the vision the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation forwarded to the province last week. “There are some real benefits to Maple Ridge,” said Mayor Ernie Daykin. For one, if the province accepts the vision and a way is found to pay for it, Maple Ridge would be able to share in $36 million annually in major road network funding. That’s money available on a matching basis and which would help the district keep arteries such as Abernethy Way or Dewdney Trunk Road in top shape. “The other encouraging thing – they have included Silver Valley for expanding the basic network.” That means the northern suburb will be on the list for transit when TransLink reviews its services. Metro Vancouver mayors ham-

mered out the $7.5-billion plan following a request by the province to come up with a vision as a prelude to the referendum on transportation funding. The vision also calls for increasing West Coast Express service by adding five more passenger cars, plus an engine, by 2018. Another five cars would be added by 2024. The commuter train to Vancouver currently offers only five rushhour trips in the morning and five returning in the afternoon. There’s no specific mention, however, of securing more track time or increasing frequency. Daykin, though, points out, “At this point, it’s more trains or longer trains. By committing to rolling stock, which includes an engine, that positions us perhaps to have an extra train.” TransLink’s current leasing contract for track time with CP Rail expires next year. Increasing the frequency of West Coast Express trains would require negotiation and leasing of more track time with CP Rail. Daykin said the population in the area served by West Coast Express will grow by 62 per cent in the next 30 years. When the Evergreen SkyTrain line opens in Coquitlam in 2016, there will be even more demand for West Coast Express service. Already, some trains are packed,

Daykin said. “The encouraging thing for me is the acknowledgement that that’s the reality in our community and they’re planning for it.” B-Line service linking downtown Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to the new Evergreen SkyTrain line that opens in Coquitlam in 2016 is also in the vision. TransLink recently announced it will start a study in September to find the best route. However, downtown Maple Ridge could be skipped completely if one of the options, a B-line route from Coquitlam to Langley, is chosen instead. One of the suggestions for funding is to siphon $250 million yearly from carbon tax revenues in Metro Vancouver. But Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone dismissed that out of hand just hours after the vision became public. Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters said she doesn’t know how the provincial government will react to the vision. “We’ve made many suggestions to them over the past year and a half. “We just want to create a transportation system that makes sense for our region.” She didn’t think there was anything grandiose in the plan.

Albion population density bonusing popular Money could fund community hall by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

It’s been a controversial project, but staff say the Albion amenity program that allows builders to increase the population density of their projects is working well. Of 16 applications in the Albion area east of 240th Street, eight are opting to increase the density, or number of units in the new housing developments, to the next level beyond what has been established in existing zoning. In return for doing so, developers pay the district $3,100 per extra lot. The density bonusing program came into being in October. So far, that’s worked out to an extra 188 lots, resulting in a potential $583,000 contribution to the Albion amenity fund, once applications

are complete and money is deposited into the fund. That money can be used to pay for parks and trails or possibly an Albion community hall, in order to improve services in an area that is gaining population density. “The program is being well received by the local development industry and is being considered by staff to be a success,” planning manager Jim Charlebois said in a June report. Coun. Cheryl Ashlie wanted the community to have a say in how the fund will be spent. The district could create a process to determine that, said public works general manager Frank Quinn. The density-bonusing program is optional and clear. Developers can follow the existing density or opt for the next level of density and pay $3,100 per extra lot. Coun. Corisa Bell wanted to expand the program across the

Walters pointed out the mayors’ council had no resources and relied on TransLink staff to write the vision, titled, Regional Transportation Investments: A Vision for Vancouver. “I need to thank TransLink for working literally around the clock to help us prepare this.” The mayors had only a few months to create the report. “I think there may have been some doubt on the province’s part that we may actually pull it off,” Daykin added. Other features of the plan including expanding SkyTrain to Arbutus Street in Vancouver, building light rail transit in Surrey and a new tolled four-lane Pattulo Bridge to New Westminster. The expansion of Sky-

Train to Arbutus Street in Vancouver and the building of light rail transit lines in Surrey require governments at all three levels to share in the costs. “The feds and the province need to step up to the plate,” said Daykin. Walters said mayors, for the first time, collaborated on creating a common vision instead of arguing against each for competing goals. “It’s brought us closer together.” Walters liked the suggestions for improving HandyDart service, the B-Line and for increased West Coast Express service. “The idea is to get people out of their cars. But people in our area won’t leave their cars if they don’t have reliable transportation.”

Literacy group lobbies for stable funding Province cuts fund by $500,000 by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

Literacy initiatives in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows are endangered by a lack of government funding, said Bruce Grady of the Maple Ridge-Pitt MeadowsKatzie Community Literacy Committee He and co-chair Jesse Hill were reporting their group’s activities to the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School Board. “It’s shocking that literacy is not at the forefront,” said Grady. Funds have flowed from the Ministry of Education to Decoda Literacy Solutions, and on to community groups across the province, like the local committee. Decoda has received $2.5 million in annual funding. However, during 2013, the province slashed the amount it offered Decoda to $1 million. After a public outcry, Victoria restored another $1 million. That left literacy groups around the province to struggle with a a k f o r th

t sp

e a k fo r

a w ho c

se lv es

e sp

$500,000 shortfall for the present year, creating uncertainty about funding from the province in the future. Grady expects that full funding will not be restored. Locally, the funding directly benefits an ESL women’s group, financial literacy workshops, a tax project, the training of literacy volunteers, book bins, Family Literacy Day and other initiatives. “In our society, in this day and age, that we can’t

put a focus on literacy and education is wrong,” said Hill. “People need help right now.” She said the group’s programs go beyond reading and writing, and now include computer and financial literacy. Hill called a society that cannot pay for such programs “remarkably ungenerous.” The local literacy committee has operated on a tight budget, and has no reserves. The government funding is “seed

money” that allows the group to identify and acquire other funding sources, and solicit donations and volunteer time. Trustee Susan Carr said the literacy committee is an extension of the public education system, and put forward a motion to lobby the government for stable funding. A letter will be sent from the board to local MLAs, the Edcuation Ministry, and federal MP Randy Kamp.

Foundation Purchases 2013–2014 Health Investment Grants

The Loyal Protestant Association generously donated $23,000 to help purchase an infant warmer for use in the Maternity Department here at Ridge Meadows Hospital. This infant warmer is an essential piece of equipment that provides optimal comfort and care for the newest members of our community.

‘From the Heart’ donations made at the 2013 Gala helped purchase a vein viewer for the Emergency Department and a cardio-pulmonary monitor for the Maternity Department. The vein viewer projects digital images of patients’ superficial vein patterns, which allow health care staff to quickly and easily locate the best possible location for an IV and prevent multiple needle sticks. A cardio-pulmonary monitor tracks vital information such as respiration, oxygen saturation, heart rate and blood pressure of our smallest patients. It is non-invasive and its multiple functions eliminate the need for several different machines around the bedside.

Thank you for your generosity. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Maple Ridge councillors concerned about recreation agreement costs by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Maple Ridge councillors want to ensure their taxpayers don’t pay for an unbalanced share of Pitt Meadows’ recreation services now and in the coming years. The joint leisure services agreement is being reviewed, in which

Maple Ridge pays for 80 per cent of the operating costs of shared facilities, such as the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre, while Pitt Meadows pays 20 per cent. Coun. Cheryl Ashlie wanted to know if Maple Ridge’s contribution was appropriate. “If we’re paying another quarter per cent of taxes to subsidize another

community’s recreation, we need to know that. “And we need to have that conversation.” Consultant Brian Johnston said the final review will provide those numbers. And early analysis suggests that Maple Ridge isn’t subsidizing the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district, one of the partners. When it comes to mu-

nicipalities, both save between half a million and a million dollars a year from the agreement. Both communities benefit, but Pitt Meadows likely saves the most, he added. Couns. Mike Morden and Bob Masse wondered if the agreement would work in the future, as Maple Ridge grows, while Pitt Meadows’

population would peak at about 21,000. Johnston said that ratio could change so that Maple Ridge pays more than 80 per cent of the operational costs, to reflect Maple Ridge’s population growth, and may reach the point where the agreement is no longer worthwhile. “We’ll still get tagged with the capital cost bill

Your Marketplace

and, yet, Pitt Meadows will get the benefit,” Morden said. Under the current agreement, each municipality pays the entire capital costs of facilities in their respective municipalities, while sharing the operating costs. Johnston said many such agreements between cities don’t last as long as the agreement

between Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. “Very few have lasted over 20 years.” One part of the agreement is that each party can opt out of participating in a project. But anytime that happens, it weakens the agreement, said Johnston. “It’s almost an all or nothing proposition.”

If they start to pee because you moved a litter box to a new location, put it back. The Internet is a vast resource of information on how to relax a stressed out cat. There are also various medications and homeopathic remedies that will help your cat with stress. Check with your vet or your local pet store. Inappropriate peeing is so common that some pet stores carry a special brand of litter that is designed to attract your cat back to their litter box. It is your responsibility to make sure you have done all that is possible to try and solve the problem before you consider placing your animal in a shelter. In recent months, some of our cats have turned it around and started using the litter box regularly when they found the right home. Judging their behavior at the shelter, is not fair because a stressed out cat who finds themselves in a shelter just gets more stressed out.

AS SEEN ON ARKETPLA CE C’S M Thanks Bruce I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value. Sincerely, Amy Gill

Creative Fusion Fine Arts Camps July 14-18

The Attic, The Pearls and Three Fine Girls returns to stage for fundraiser If you haven’t seen it yet, you have two more chances this week to catch the Emerald Pig Theatrical Society’s award-winning production of The Attic, The Pearls and Three Fine Girls. The play won the Fraser Valley Zone festival’s most outstanding production last month and is heading to Theatre B.C.’s Mainstage competition in Kamloops. In The Attic, The Pearls and Three Fine Girls, we meet Jayne, a closeted corporate shark; Jojo, a perpetually broken hearted professor and Jelley, an eccentric artist with a penchant for boxes. When their father dies and leaves strict instructions for a “wild party” of a funeral, the ensuing wild romp through the attic of their childhood home sees the Fine sisters do battle with themselves and each other, regressing, expressing and

Laura Burke plays the role of Jelly in The Attic, The Pearls, and Three Fine Girls exploding, as they grasp and test the bonds of sisterhood. Collectively written by Martha Ross, Aless Dufresne, Ann-Marie MacDonald, Jennifer Brewin, Alisa Palmer and Leah Cherniak, it’s a play described as a “remarkable balancing act of broad comedy and real drama.” Emerald Pig’s production is directed by Amy Starkey and produced by John Stuart. “It is a comedy about torturing those we love the most, the boxes we put them in and the family vein that runs through the roughest

relationships,” says Starkey, as the troupe gets ready for two weekend performances in Maple Ridge. “It promises to make you laugh, cry, sing and maybe even dance – in red boxer shorts.”

Showtime The Attic, The Pearls and Three Fine Girls is at Meadowridge School, 12224 – 240 St. in Maple Ridge on Friday, June 20 and Saturday, June 21. Tickets are $20 in advance or $22 at the door.

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Parks and Leisure Services is offering fun programs and camps for children and youth throughout summer. The children’s recreation team is busy preparing for summer and winding down its seven after-school programs. “This year has been extremely busy with the school strikes,” says recreation coordinator Russ Brummer. “It feels like we’ve started our summer camps early.” Summer camps officially start June 30. Parks and leisure’s most popular camps are Mega Kids, at the Greg Moore Youth Centre, and Pitt Troop-

ers, at the Pitt Meadows Family Recreation Centre. The camps are for children aged six to 12 years old and run Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Both camps have been extended to run until 5 p.m. this year to accommodate parents who work outside Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. “We are so proud of our programs and staff,” says Brummer. “Our goal is to provide programs that are fun, safe, active and inclusive.” • Both Mega Kids and Pitt Troopers offer a variety of activities and outtrips each week.

Burrards in second after weekend wins WLA club’s rookie goaltender living up to club’s expectations by Neil Corbet t Black Press

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Burrards win big Gavin Bruce of the Ridge Meadows Burrards shields the ball from a Port Moody Thunder checker during a Bantam A1 lacrosse game at Pitt Meadows Arenas on Saturday. The Burrards won 8-2.

Minor hockey hosts golf tournament The Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey Association will be hosting its second annual golf tournament on Aug. 17 at Golden Eagle Golf Court. The event will start on a Sunday morning at 8 a.m. with a shotgun start, and wrap up with a barbecue lunch.

The Maple Ridge Burrards finally put their full roster on the floor, and are in second place in the Western Lacrosse Association, after a two-win week. Ridge beat the Salmonbellies 7-4 on Thursday in New Westminster, then downed the Burnaby Lakers 12-8 Sunday at Planet Ice. “The defence played well, and our goaltending was top-shelf,” said head coach Chris Gill. Rookie goaltender Frankie Scigliano is living up to expectations, stopping 46 of 50 shots in New West. He was selected the game’s first star. Gill said Scigliano had an added incentive against New West. Firstly, he finished his junior lacrosse career there, and secondly because the ’Bellies had the second overall pick in the entry draft, and passed on one of their own top prospects. Scigliano fell to the delighted Burrards, who snapped him up with the third pick. In his first four WLA starts, Scigliano has gone 3-1, and has a league-leading save percentage of 0.850. “He is what we expected he was going to be – an unbelievable goalie with a bright future,” said Gill. Last year’s WLA scoring leader Curtis ‘Superman’ Dickson scored twice in his return to the lineup on Thursday. But it was Riley Loewen who led the Burrard offence, as he scored three goals, including the game winner, and added an assist.

PROPOSAL AMMENDMENT TO BY-LAW CURRENT BY-LAW FOUR – DUES 4. The registration dues for the associations are due by or before March 1st of every year along with the Ridge Meadows Minor Ball Hockey Registration form(s). A Ridge Meadows Minor Ball Hockey Volunteer form filled out and signed by a parent or guardian accompanied with a deposit cheque must be submitted at the same time as the Registration form(s). a) b) c d) e)

The fee will vary from year to year and division to division for every player. Dues will be set out by the Society’s Directors a minimum one (1) week prior to registration dates. Failure to pay fees by March 31st to the Society will disqualify any member from play, until fees are received in full. Disqualification from play includes Provincials and tournaments for that season. All original registration forms must be submitted with payment. The forms will be held for a period of five to seven years. A copy of the registration form shall be retained by the member for income tax purposes. All team rosters are considered finalized by the end of the second full weekend of play. This is posing a problem for me as those that have registered on-line are referring to this piece and advising they have until March 1st to pay. I need it to read something along with line of;

Proposed Change BY-LAW FOUR – DUES 4.

Spencer Evans and Andrew Murphy also scored. Gill loved his team’s effort against Burnaby at home Sunday, in that they came out gunning and scored the first three goals. Dickson had knocked any rust off, and was back to his old self against the Lakers, scoring three goals in a six-point effort. Connor Goodwin also scored a hat trick. Other scorers were Ben McIntosh, Daniel Amesbury, Spencer Evans, Colton Porter, Jarrett Davis and Riley Loewen. Gill said his entire defence has been good, and said Zac and Colton Porter are bringing a lot of energy. “They just never stop,” he said. “And Garrett McIntosh is just a beast back there. He looked really good in the second game.” Amesbury and Dayne Michaud both dropped the gloves, padding their team’s league lead in penalty minutes, which is 237 minutes over eight games. Gill said his team is playing tough, not dirty, but is giving away too many power plays. “It’s definitely a concern – we don’t want to be the most penalized team in the league.” The Burrards are in second place in the WLA with a 5-3 record, and no team beneath them is better than .500. It’s a big weekend coming up for the Burrards. They are at Burnaby’s Bill Copeland Arena on Friday night at 7:45 p.m. for a rematch with the Lakers. On Sunday at 6:45 p.m. they will host Victoria, who have been near perfect so far this season, with six wins and a tie in seven outings. The coach said the WLA has great parity, and teams have to be ready for every game, but this is a challenging weekend schedule. “It doesn’t get any tougher than that.”

Shooting guard picked to play for Team B.C. Four local cagers on provincial teams by Neil Corbe tt staff reporter

A sweet-shooting guard from Thomas Haney secondary has been chosen to play for the B.C. Under-15 basketball team. Alexis Toren was on the under-14 team last year, and they had a trip to Washington State. This year, the U-15s are on their way to Las Vegas. A Grade 10, Toren was ready to contribute with the senior team last year, bus she opted to stay with her peer group on the Thunder junior team. She filled it up all year, averaged better than 30 points per game. Her season high was 47 – an unfathomable number for most junior girls. She has a sweet shot from range, that has been honed against her dad in games at their backyard basket. Her dad, Matthew, was a baller too, during high school in West Van. “We out shooting in our basketball hoop a lot,” she said. Toren also likes to play at the Leisure Centre, mostly against guys, in informal games. “That has improved

my game a lot,” she said. The skill is definitely there, and she is blessed with also being able to shoot over he check. Toren is five-foot-eight, which makes her half a head taller than most of the girls who play guard at the junior level. She also has the handles to bring the ball up the floor, and can play point guard with her high school team. With Team B.C., however, she will slide over to the two-guard position. Toren gets good grades at Haney, and her goal is to get a basketball scholarship from a U.S. college. Making the provincial team was an important step. She is looking forward to the experience., facing competition from elite girls her own age, and playing with the best players in the province. She leaves for Las Vegas in late July. • Another Thomas Haney girl, Kate Meredith, was picked for Team B.C. The six-foot Meredith was named to the under-14 team. She is fresh off having won a provincial gold medal in track and field, after winning the Grade 8 girls’ shot put. Two senior centres from the area were also chosen to play for their respective provincial

Alexis Toren of Thomas Haney secondary has been chosen to play with the provincial under-15 team this year. The shooting guard will be going to a tournament in Las Vegas in late July.

under-17 teams. Pitt Meadows big man Graham Smith was chosen for the B.C. Under-17 team. He regularly led the marauders in scoring and rebounding as a Grade 11 last year. Jane Grisley, the Maple Ridge Rambler who also does her finest work in the paint, is again a B.C. Team player.

Soccer players headed to Europe

For the world’s top players and millions of people across the globe, the World Cup is the centre of their soccer world. For 15 young soccer players with Excel Soccer Academy, including two Maple Ridge players, the start of the event marked the threeweek countdown for a chance to play in their own “World Cup” Excel Soccer will be taking these players to the Republic of San Marino to compete in an international tournament called the San Marino Cup from July 6-12. Luke Warmerdam and Isiah Smith, 13-yearolds from Maple Ridge, are two of 15 boys in the Excel Soccer Academy, representing a wide range of communities including: Abbotsford, Burnaby, Chilliwack, Coquitlam, Kelowna, Maple Ridge, Mission, North Vancouver, Port Moody and Richmond. “I’m excited to develop as a soccer player and meet new people”, said Warmerdam. “This is a good chance to possibly be scouted by a top European team and a good experience to travel with friends and see different parts of Italy,” said Smith. The team will spend six days in San Marino for the tournament and two weeks touring and enjoying the culture of Italy. Players will also get the opportunity to train at the Italian National training centre and watch the World Cup final in Europe. Excel has been participating in this tournament since 2006 and last year’s team finished in second place in the B pool, losing in a penalty shoot-out to Monroe Soccer Club of New Jersey.

Their love for each other inspires all of us everyday, the way they always have put family ahead of everything, how hard they work to provide for all of us. As parents and grandparents they have always gone over and beyond. Your love, dedication and commitment to one another is truly an inspiration to all who know you - we love you so much and wish you guys love, laughter, and good health!

LOST AND FOUND

IRVING, Allan (Al) Aug. 1, 1933 - June 13, 2014 It is with great sadness that the family of Al Irving announces the passing of this very special person. Predeceased by his parents, wife Melva and brother Ken (Pat), Al is survived by his sister, Karen (Henry -deceased) and brothers, Jim (Marilyn), Willy (Pat) and Stan. Also, by his five children: Gary, Carol (Andre), Glen (Chris), Roger (Cathy), and Sherri (Rainer), nine grandchildren, five great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. The eldest in his family, Al was born and raised in Maple Ridge; the family home still stands today, on River Road. Al worked in many different sawmills throughout BC but mostly at the Hammond Cedar Mill. Al coached hardball in Hammond during the 60’s and 70’s with his loving wife, Melva, by his side, as his scorekeeper. His favourite pastime was being with family and friends. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 21st at the Pitt Meadows Heritage Hall from 1 to 3:30pm with an open mike beginning at 2pm. Old friends, co-workers and ball players that were coached by Al, are encouraged to attend. The family wishes to acknowledge and thank Al’s sister Karen Lucier and nieces Dennise & Deanne for the years of loving care that were provided. His extended ‘Davis’ family, is also recognized for continually making him a part of their family. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the BC Lung Assoc. or the Alzheimer’s Society.

LEE, Muriel April 11, 1920 - June 13, 2014 Born in Victoria, B. C. to her father Yew Leong Eng and her mother Loo Nang Eng and passed away peacefully at home in Maple Ridge at age 94. Predeceased in 2000 by her loving husband of 55 years, Kenneth, brothers Roy, Alan and Henry, sisters Kip, Viola and Mae. Survived by brother George (Vivian) of Victoria. Muriel leaves behind her son Ken Lee (Joanne Kent), daughter Linda (Les Raskewicz), her only grandchild Stephen and many, many relatives. Long time residents of Maple Ridge, Muriel and her husband Kenneth were in the greenhouse business growing cucumbers, tomatoes, and chrysanthemums. She will be remembered for her resolute view of life, her sense of humour and her passion for gardening. Funeral Service will be held at 11:30am on Monday, June 23, 2014 at Garden Hill Funeral Chapel, 11765-224th Street, Maple Ridge, B.C. Private family interment at Maple Ridge Cemetery at a later date. The family would like to thank the Fraser Health Palliative Home Health team for their outstanding care, compassion and support. Expressions of sympathy can be made at: www.gardenhill.ca
