Communities in Bloom Cyndy Johnson-McCormick, and Charlotte Mitchell, co-chairs of Communities In Bloom, put the finishing touches on Trixie, one of six scarecrows on display at the Intergenerational Garden, 121st Avenue and Edge Street, on July 17. The displays will be part of Communities in Bloom contest in which Maple Ridge will compete with other B.C. municipalities to determine who has the nicest looking parks, lawns and gardens . See p5.

Ridge Meadows RCMP will be ramping up traffic enforcement as the summer holiday season reaches its peak. “More cars on the road can result in some delays, or traffic congestion that doesn’t happen at other times of the year,” said Const. Mike Moore with Ridge Meadows traffic section. “This can cause a motorist untold frustration, and can lead to unsafe driving practices.” Sudden turns, failing to signal, or yield the right of way, speeding and running traffic lights are a leading cause of traffic accidents. It’s not only drivers being targeted, police will also be on the look out for pedestrians and cyclists who flout the rules. “Ridge Meadows RCMP commit to making our roads as safe as possible.” See Roads, p4

If Fraser Health is concerned that “nursing sensitive events” are afflicting patients at Ridge Meadows Hospital, it should hire more nurses, and let them do their jobs, says the hospital’s B.C. Nurse’s Union rep. “Nursing sensitive events” is jar-

gon for infections, bed sores and even fractures which occur while patients are hospitalized, and which presumably could be prevented by nurses. A recent review of Fraser Health says Ridge Meadows, Surrey Memorial and Burnaby hospitals all have double the national average rate of nursingsensitive events, “with no demonstrated improvement over the past three years.” That could be interpreted as blaming nurses for health care complications, which is how Debbie Picco,

the co-chair for the BCNU’s Simon Fraser Region reads it. “That’s what the employer is doing,” she said. “There are not enough staff to safely care for patients.” The nurses say that Fraser Health is “devolving nursing into a series of tasks that need to be done,” without respect for the nurse’s professional judgement. “We’re losing RN (registered nurse) and LPN (licensed practical nurse) positions to unregistered caregivers,” she continued. Picco graduated from nursing

school in 1976, and her last job before taking a union position five years ago was home care in Maple Ridge. When she started in the profession, departments were run by head nurses who knew the profession. Now, there are more nonnursing managers. “The people leading the wards are not people who know about nursing care,” she asserts. “The philosophy of management is a business philosophy now. And patient care has suffered.” See Hospital, p4, Other stories p9, 11

Ridge marijuana company has big plans Will create new line of pot-infused food and drinks for U.S. market

“This is our opportunity in our generation which is why there is so much money chasing the industry.” Remo Cannabrands will begin trading on the TSX Venture Exchange in 120 days.

by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

A Maple Ridge marijuana company is going public with an injection of cash from a venture capitalist. Remo Cannabrands’ half-million dollar partnership with Gold Finder Explorations will see it expand from a home-based business to 10,000-sq.-ft. warehouse. Remo Colasanti is the brain behind Remo Cannabrands, which sells nutrients to legal marijuana producers but has plans to create a new line of marijuana-infused edibles, beverages and tinctures. “We’ve been making batches literally in our garage and can’t keep up with the demand for our nutrients,” said Sandra Colasanti, Remo’s wife. These are heady times for those looking to cash in on marijuana’s growing acceptance. Washington state and Colorado have legalized the recreational use of pot for adults while medical marijuana is currently legal in Canada as well as 18 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. The Marijuana Business Factbook estimates that the retail marijuana industry in the U.S. could see an estimated $7.4 to $8.2 billion in sales by 2018. Remo Colsanti has been growing medical-grade cannabis for almost 15 years. He began producing episodes of “Urban Grower” on YouTube in 2006 to share his expertise with

Sandra and Remo Colasanti have plans to expand to U.S. market. other medical marijuana patients and has since attracted a dedicated following, clocking more than 30 million views on his two YouTube channels. He has also won 13 awards in nine international cannabis competitions, placing first in 2013 at Spannabis in Spain and second in 2012 at the Cannabis Cup Awards in Amsterdam. Remo Cannabrands intends to sell its line of nutrients worldwide but will focus on the U.S. as a market for its edible products. The nutrients will be produced in Maple Ridge while the infused edible side of the business will be based in the U.S. Sandra Colasanti said they de-

cided to team up with Gold Finder Explorations because current U.S. regulations around packaging, labelling and testing make it hard for small “mom and pop” operations to compete. Companies such as Gold Finder, whose previous ventures included a mine, are more accustomed to taking risks, she added. Gold Finder CEO Neil Linder characterizes the legal marijuana industry as “the biggest opportunity of our times.” “This is like prohibition coming off alcohol,” said Linder, based in Kelowna. “The Kennedys, the Bronfmans, all the richest families in the world made their money off rum run-

ning.” Currently, only two companies make up the majority of the marijuana edibles market share in the U.S. Limited to operating in Colorado, Linder says the companies have projected sales of $50 million in 2014. “We have this opportunity because of the way marijuana is getting legalized to become a brand in the edibles business without having to face-off against multinationals.” Going public will allow Remo Cannabrands to raise money and buy smaller companies already in the edible business as it expands into the U.S. “Every big company in the world wants to get into this business,” said Linder.

Almost a year after it set up shop in Maple Ridge, Agrima Botanicals has yet to receive a licence from Health Canada to produce medical marijuana commercially. The federal agency has approved 13 commercial licences thus far but is swamped under a deluge of applications as companies try to cash in the predicted boom. As of the end of June, it had received 858 applications. Jordan Winnett with Agrima said the facility has been pre-approved and is currently waiting for a site visit from Health Canada, which is the final step in the process. Health Canada’s new regulation outlawing personal growing took effect April 1, but a last-minute court reprieve has thrown a wrench into the Conservative government’s pot reform plans. In March, Federal Court Judge Michael Manson granted a temporary injunction allowing people with a personal production licence to continue to grow medical pot, pending the outcome of a constitutional challenge still to be heard. “The process has been extremely slow since the March injunction, with no company being approved for a few months now,” said Winnett. “But, we remain on course and ready to help patients and enter the market when it’s our time.”

Ex drug dealer shares life’s lessons with Surrey crowd Spend time with your kids, listen to them, says Scott Magri by M onisha M ar t ins staff reporter

Scott Magri wants to help keep kids out of trouble. “Dont just hand them the keys to the Mercedes.”

The night a team of police officers, clad in bullet proof vests, surrounded his house was a turning point for Scott Magri. He remembers each detail vividly. “I had 14 grown men yelling at me with their guns,” says Magri, recalling a time when he ran five lucrative marijuana -grow operations.

Until then, he had felt invincible. Nobody, not even the police, could touch him. He was known to use his fists to swiftly settle scores. “Because I had the reputation, being a drug dealer was easy. Everybody knew not to mess with me.” Though he never killed anyone, Magri came close. “There were many times I walked out of my house with a shotgun and shells,” he says. Magri is now sharing his experience of life as a drug dealer and gang affiliate to steer others off a similar path. He spoke at a forum about crime in Surrey on Thursday and hopes a similar event can

What good are all the mistakes if I can’t pass it on to anybody else?” says Magri, who chronicled his crazy past in a book titled Lessons: Crime, Games and Pain, which he self-published last year. Lessons charts Magri’s life from his early days as a kid with a lazy eye who was bullied in school, to a drug-dealing thug and his eventual triumph over an addiction to the opiate Oxycontin after three suicide attempts. Magri’s drug dealing operation pulled in $60,000 per month but a large chunk of it was spent on

feeding his own habit. He’s learned to look at money with a jaundiced eye. “Stop the greed. It’s tearing the world apart,” he says. Magri believes parents play the most important role in keeping a child away from a life of crime. Spend time with your kids, he says. Listen to them, know what they are doing. “Don’t just hand them the keys to the Mercedes.” My dad only told me he loved me once, says Magri. His mom was stretched both emotionally and financially, raising three sons and working three jobs. “She did her best.”

Society director Kris Grasty emphasizes the event is free but donations will be welcomed at the gate as they help the society pay for the show as well as the youth scholarships they offer. Volunteers to help with the event would also be welcomed as work still needs to be done and the day is getting close.

“We need about 20 to 30 adult volunteers,” estimates Grasty. Led by society volunteers, the community volunteer group will mostly look after parking direction on the day. To register for volunteering, contact Amanda Zannet at 604-465-6977, Ext. 6 or azannet@pittmeadowsairport.com. Grasty says his society

Maple Ridge in full summer bloom District back in beauty competition by S teph Trou g h ton contributor

For the first time since 2007, the District of Maple Ridge is part of the Communities in Bloom contest, a national initiative recognizing community beautification efforts through green space and urban enhancement. Judges from across B.C. will descend on Maple Ridge July 17 to look at people’s lawns and gardens in categories that include: floral displays, tidiness, urban forestry, landscape, heritage conservation and environmental action.

A total of 19 communities are entered in the B.C. competition. In addition to private lots, the judges also will look at the maintenance and enhancement of parks and public spaces. This means judges are also critiquing environmentally sustainable and food gardens when choosing community winners, explains District manager of parks and open spaces Geoff Mallory. “A lot of people think this is just a flower competition. It’s not,” he adds. A former Communities in Bloom judge, Mallory explains judges have a lot to consider when choosing winners and can often take up to four hours in the evening of the day they judge to

determine who moves forward in the competition. Winners will be announced at the 11th Communities in Bloom Provincial Conference Sept. 11 to 13 in Trail. The cities who win at the provincial level can move on to the national competition where they compete against communities of similar size all across Canada. Mallory is confident Maple Ridge stands a good chance of doing well in the competition, based on how active volunteers are within the community. Volunteers Cyndy Johnson McCormick and Charlotte Mitchell who have been co-chairing the local Communities in Bloom committee and organizing the event.

ne need only take a drive to Golden Ears Provincial Park on a nice weekend, and venture down the pathways towards the large picnic areas and boat launch on Alouette Lake – and be struck by modern day reality. Golden Ears, a 40-minute drive from the concrete canyons of Vancouver and the sprawling suburb of Surrey, is jam-packed with people. Most of the picnic tables are taken, most of the corners of shade or sunny spots occupied by visitors from the big city seeking the coolness of our mountain lakes, creeks and forests. It’s so crowded, there are many days when vehicles are even turned away from the outer perimeter because the park has already reached capacity. All of which makes the fact there’s no reliable cellphone service in the area astounding. The ridiculous state of affairs once again became apparent after the latest drowning June 25 in Gold Creek a few weeks ago. Family members had to run a kilometre in order to connect with 911 and contact rescuers. The same harrowing scenario occurred in previous drownings where frantic relatives couldn’t reach help. Both Maple Ridge Fire Department and Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue are asking the obvious – why can’t cellphone service be improved. To have heavily used areas of the busy park unaccessible by cell is unacceptable. – The News Tell us what you think @ www.mapleridgenews.com

Rather be anywhere, but downtown U

nlike Petula Clark’s plaintive whining in her 1964 hit song about wanting to go downtown when things were bothering her, at those times in my own life, I’d rather be almost anywhere else than in downtown Maple Sidewinder Ridge. Sandy Macdougall Municipal hall has many plans for making Maple Ridge’s downtown more livable but, to date, we still have prostitutes, pushers, major and minor crimes, too many licensed liquor establishments and too much violence – all within a few hundred metres of municipal hall. The RCMP’s downtown foot patrol is a positive sign that someone is at least listening, but most elderly downtown residents still won’t venture out after dark. The main attractions that keep most seniors from moving out of the downtown are the availability of nearby medical services and major food stores within easy walking distance. To be fair, there are other plusses such as the library, the leisure centre, the ACT and Memorial Peace Park. Notwithstanding the enhanced police presence, the shiny new casino, with the proliferation of licensed establishments, the seeming official tolerance of drugs and prostitution and the ever-present bicycle bandits who respect no one, not even themselves, downtown Maple Ridge

uestion of the week:

is not an attractive place to be at night or during the day. It is interesting to note that no members of Maple Ridge council live in the immediate area and most of them would probably object strongly if anyone wanted to locate any of the offensive establishments near their homes. A recent open house at municipal hall was supposed to reveal some new directions, socially and in terms of planning, development and livability. About the only thing that was revealed was the probable expenditure of huge sums of tax dollars to carry out further improvements to the Lougheed Highway but little to improve pedestrian or cycling safety or plans to deal with widespread social problems. Even in daytime, pedestrians and cyclists are at serious risk as they attempt to manoeuvre many of the streets between 222nd and 227th streets, between Dewdney Trunk Road and Lougheed Highway. This hardly offers improvement to anyone or anything except the jobs of the workers carrying out the construction. The municipality is the largest land owner in the downtown but the lack of progress on key undeveloped municipal properties leads to the conclusion that there is a lack of political and bureaucratic leadership and a lack of realistic vision at municipal hall. To its credit, council a few years ago recognized the need to do something drastic with troubled properties in the area between 226th and 227th streets so they jumped in, purchased and demolished the rundown houses. Since then, the col-

lective intelligence at municipal hall has been unable to come up with a plan to deal with the now-vacant lots. It seems there is a reluctance on the part of the investment world to deal with the current civic regime which is also plodding ahead with its not-so-secret negotiations with a large-scale mall developer to create competitive retail space on the Albion fairgrounds.

“there is reluctance in the investment world to deal with the current civic regime which is also plodding ahead … to create competitive retail space on the Albion fairgrounds.” In terms of civic establishments, Maple Ridge has a reasonable track record but an equally ugly record when it comes to commercial development, all of which leads me to believe that downtown residents cannot expect much in terms of improved livability in our area from the current council. In reference to another Petula Clark hit, I Know a Place, she was singing about someplace where she could be happy and free from worry. She wasn’t singing about downtown Maple Ridge. Sandy Macdougall is a retired journalist and former district councillor.

THE NEWS/letters online comments Graham Strachan · Kamloops Re: ALC boss levels with council (mapleridgenews.com) I worked for the Ministry of Agriculture for 35 years and am disgusted by the recent events and the creation of two zones. The public is not blind that it was done to allow resource development, not for the benefit of the farming community. Land speculators will be coming out of the woodwork and put increasing pressure on Zone 1 lands. From my perspective, the only sympathy I ever had was for those that had the Agricultural Land Reserve imposed on them. There are few of those farms around. For all,others, you knew what you bought, your land was in the ALR. If you want out the door is open and sell it to someone that actually wants to farm! Farmer Jeff · CEO & Founder at Okanagan Farmland Protection Trust Re: ALC boss levels with council (mapleridgenews.com) If farmers are claiming they cannot earn enough to make a living off their land, that is ridiculous. First of all, cutting hay is not agriculture. It’s just mowing the lawn so don’t expect to call that farming or make a living. Secondly, look to innovative ways of farming and actually put in some hard work and research. Thirdly, give me a call and offer me your land at a fair farming price if you cannot handle farming. I want a career but I cannot afford land when everyone is speculating. I provide five full -time seasonal jobs and earn a living for myself on just 2.5 acres of growing space. How come people with more land cannot do this? The answer is not removing land from the ALR, and it is such a pathetic idea to try.

Cellphones needed to save lives Editor, The News: Re: Golden Ears park needs cell signals, The News, July 9). Cellphones are one of the most important modern-day advances that improve life. For B.C. Parks to say a phone at the gate is good enough is like saying the horses in neighbourhood properties are good enough for emergency transportation.

In India, it is reported that a campaign is active to convince the public that putting in a bathroom is more important than having a cellphone. Many similar examples exist to show importance of cellphones. Many hikers expect that cellphone communication to be their life lines. It is their insurance for safety. I live in Whonnock and have poor

Somehow, the fear of dangerous electronic waves is so great that I might die of cancer or else be subject to some mind control by a secret society.

Skateboarders must wear helmets Editor, The News: I saw that the front page (The News, July 4) had kids at the Thomas Haney skate park – one doing a really cool trick on a scooter which would have been something I would have loved to show my five- and six-year-old boys – except the child was not wearing a helmet. I think that is not something that should ever be shown as acceptable. Helmets should be mandatory especially at the skate park. Not only is it so dangerous for that kid, but it sets a terrible example for all the other kids.

It’s one of the stupid decisions a child can make and to place it on the front page of the newspaper makes it seem as if it’s an OK choice to make. I personally find this unbelievable and so do a ton of other people I have spoken with. It is currently going around on Facebook (not my facebook page) and parents are furious. I think the photo was a great capture but that boy should have been wearing a helmet and was just encouraged not to. I hope you see what I am saying and it isn’t exactly a complaint about your paper but more of an eye opener. I would like to see lives saved, not lost. Tiffany Jansen

Smokers spark hedge fire in Ridge Fence, hedge set alight twice in two hours by Monisha M ar t ins staff reporter

Discarded cigarettes are being blamed for sparking a small brush fire Wednesday which burned a fence behind a strip mall in Maple Ridge. The Maple Ridge Fire Department were called to the property on Dewdney Trunk Road near

Glenhurst Street to extinguished flames twice in two hours. The first call came in around 7:30 a.m., two hours later around 9:30 a.m., the wooden fence was on fire again. A woman who lives in the home said her fence and hedge has been set on fire seven times in the past two years as it’s a popular smoking spot for customers of an adjacent gym and hair salon. Most of the fires were small enough to be extinguished without the help of the fire depart-

ment. The fire department is asking residents to be extra cautious as the hot dry weather means shrubs, grass and hedges can easily be set ablaze. Fire chief Dane Spence said when the temperature increases to 30 C and humidity starts to drop, the fire risk rises rapidly. “Once we hit what we call 3030, we start to get extreme fire behaviour in the bush and on the ground,” he added. “So people have to start being aware of how they discard their cigarettes.

Politicians organize election boot camp Natural gas. Good for baths and budgets.

Rookie councillors offering tips to challengers

Heating water accounts for about 25 per cent of your home’s energy use. Choosing a high-efficiency natural gas model offers plenty of hot water when you need it—plus savings on your energy costs. Rebates are available.

Maple Ridge councillors Bob Masse and Corisa Bell are organizing a “boot camp” to share their expertise and experiences with people interested in seeking a seat on council. The first-term councillors were inspired by a similar event in Ontario, which Masse says was a “big success.”

They are planning an interactive session, covering a broad range of topics from campaign strategies, stress management, media, advertising, campaign finance realities, identifying the relevant issues, all candidates meetings and more. Masse said the tone will be positive and non-partisan. Both Bell and Masse say running for office for the first time can be a scary, confusing and uncertain process. For example, “just trying to convey your message, in two minutes, at a crowded all candidates meeting is actually kind of frightening,” Masse adds. “New candidates will have some great ideas and real contributions to make, but may not know how to get their message across in a crowded field or amongst a sea of other candidates,” said Bell. “Our objective is to help make the election campaign period a more positive exchange of thoughts and ideas, where all the candidates can discuss and debate the issues in a positive manor.”

New Fraser Health plan targets emerg. Per capita funding lower than rest of B.C., says NDP

Public Hearing Notice TAKE NOTICE THAT a Public Hearing will be held in the Council Chamber of the Municipal Hall, 11995 Haney Place, Maple Ridge, North-East corner entrance, at 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, July 15, 2014 to consider the following bylaws: 1a)

by Jef f Nage l Black Press

A seven-month review of Fraser Health has resulted in a new strategy that focuses on cutting unnecessary use of hospital emergency rooms in favour of improved primary and community care. Health Minister Terry Lake said Wednesday too many patients in the region aren’t getting the right type of care and are suffering worse outcomes, compared to other hospitals in Canada. “When you provide that care in the community, you take the pressure off the acute care setting,” Lake said. “That helps look after your budget problem as well.” Average stays are longer in the Fraser Health region, Lake said, increasing risks of picking up infections. The concept is far from new. Fraser has been trying for years to clear its congested ERs with a shift to preventative or home health care. Although Lake did not criticize past efforts, he said the time was right for a strategic “data-driven” re-examination of the issues for the region, whose staff had been too bogged down in “putting out fires.” The region will get a modest infusion of extra money – $40 million in 2014/15 and $20 million in 2015/16 – to assist with opening community care beds during the transition. Lake said the findings confirmed Fraser’s budget of $3.1 billion has been appropriate in recent years, in light of its population of 1.7 million, rapid growth rate and demographics. “It’s not a matter of dollars,” he said. Funding for Fraser is slated to climb 4.3 per cent in 2014, 1.4 per cent in 2015 and 1.2 per cent to more than $3.3 billion in 2016. The review was ordered by Lake last November, largely in response to the health authority’s inability to avoid successive budget overruns. The resulting strategic and operational plan sets out 10 priority actions for improvement. Topping the list is the goal of reducing hos-

Other top priorities are continuing work to cut hospital-acquired infections and increasing immunization rates for measles, mumps and rubella. The review also recommended cardiac and stroke programs be more efficiently coordinated across the Lower Mainland’s health authorities. Lake ruled out a full merger of the Fraser and Vancouver Coastal health authorities, but said the ministry will look further at carving off the Burnaby local health area and add it to Vancouver Coastal because of the number of Burnaby patients who go into Vancouver for treatment. “We’ve got two large hospitals we’re going to rebuild – St. Paul’s and Royal Columbi-

“When you provide care in the community, you take the pressure off the acute care.” Terry Lake, health minister an,” Lake said. “It’s imperative the two health authorities work together to ensure those rebuilds provide the service and infrastructure necessary to serve the entire population of the Lower Mainland rather than take an isolated view of the two hospitals.” NDP health critic Judy Darcy said it’s a “laudable goal” to take pressure off acute care hospitals but said she doubts the province is committing enough money to the required alternatives. “I don’t think there’s the money there to make the enormous

strategic investments to turn this ship around.” Darcy still hasn’t seen an adequate explanation of why Fraser’s percapita funding from the province is much lower than most other health authorities. “Fraser has 36 per cent of the province’s population and 28 per cent of the funding.” The full strategic and operational plan, along with summaries of the review team findings, can be found at http:// fraserhealth.ca/about_ us/strategic_plan A search is underway for a new president and CEO of Fraser Health to replace former top executive Dr. Nigel Murray, who resigned to return to New Zealand. Fraser is also without a board chair. Interim chair Wynne Powell has been filling in since Lake terminated former chair David Mitchell, saying fresh eyes were needed to finalize the review.

The most recent attempt was in May when the city made an application for funding under the Emergency Management BC Flood Protection Program. “Even though the project was deemed to be eligible and demonstrated merit, the application was not approved due to the program being over-subscribed. “In total, 65 applications were received and funding availability was limited to 26,” he states.

a “contingency plan”, complete with timeline, for what would have to happen “should there be an emergency.” Council’s added recommendation was in response to a report by director of finance and facilities Mark Roberts who said staff should know about the risks in the event of a pump station failure. Constructed in 1952, the pump station provides agricultural land drainage and flood protection for Pitt Meadows. But it’s so old, the city is having trouble obtaining equipment or spare parts for repairs, Roberts states. Neither is there any back-up power in the event of prolonged power failure.

Review of Fraser Health region runs up several red flag warnings Use of emergency rooms growing faster than population by Jef f Nage l Black Press

The use of emergency departments at Fraser Health hospitals has been growing more than three times faster than the region’s population. That’s one of the findings contained in the results of the provincially ordered review released Wednesday. Emergency room use has run at 6.4 per cent, compared to Fraser’s population growth of 1.7 per cent, the review found, mainly due to

frequent users who tend to be older, poor and lacking regular care. Most patients at Abbotsford, Burnaby, Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals could get their care through community clinics or family doctors, it suggests. The region’s acute care hospitalization rate has been highest of all B.C. health regions since 2008 and more than 35 per cent of admissions exceeded the expected length of stay, limiting bed capacity. Fifty-seven per cent of Fraser’s budget goes to acute care, leaving relatively small slices for residential care (18 per cent), community care (nine per cent) and mental health and substance-use services (seven per cent.)

Increase, “mainly due to frequent users who tend to be older, poor and lacking regular care.” Patient safety also scored poorly, according to the report. Burnaby had the second-worst rate of nursing-sensitive adverse events – such as infections, bed sores and fractures in hospital – in Canada for two straight years. “Rates at Surrey Memorial, Burnaby and Ridge Meadows hospitals have been almost double the national average and with no

demonstrated improvement over the past three years.” Other findings: • A 3.6-per-cent increase in the region’s more than 8,000 residential care beds since 2010 has not kept pace with population growth. • Nearly 300 new residential beds would be needed to reach the provincial average of 80 beds per 1,000 seniors over 75. • Mental illness affects 17 per cent of Fraser’s adult population and 14 per cent of children and youth. • 11.5 per cent more adults are expected to be living with mental illness by 2020, while the number in need of withdrawal management/treatment services is to climb from 160,000 to 200,000.

Cyclists look at slough reclaim project Together with Pitt Meadows resident Scott Magri, Watershed Watch Salmon Society and HUB are organizing a bike tour of the Katzie Slough on Saturday, July 19. Scott has ambitious plans for restoration of the slough, which has been degraded over the last few decades with the encroaching development in Pitt Meadows. In the 1970s, when the slough was still full of salmon, Scott spent many hours fishing there. He was bullied as a young boy, and at the slough he found a peaceful escape from his tormentors. After going down the wrong path, doing drugs and crime, he eventually picked himself up and he’s at the point now where he’s an inspiration for many. He wrote a book about his troubled life, and is now in demand as an anti-gang motivational speaker. At several stops along the tour, Scott will explain what his plans are for the slough, and how he hopes to see it turned from a drainage ditch, choked with weeds and shopping carts, back to the healthy salmon habitat it once was. As part of the tour, we’re planning a picnic along the waterfront in Osprey Village. To top up the fun, Pitt Meadows Cycle has gener-

ously donated Meadowsome prizes for town Mall a draw.

Chevrolet Cruze is nipping at the heels of the top three gas-sippers on the market.

Econo: Cruzing up sales charts By Keith Morgan Our neighbours to the south may still be suspicious of smaller vehicles but they are more than welcome on driveways north of the border. In the top-20 best sellers, 15 are compact or sub-compacts and the remaining five are by no means gas-guzzlers. The Honda Civic is the perennial top seller, and according to the latest figures available, the Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Corolla follow it. The Chevrolet Cruze, currently with a starting sticker price of a few bucks more than $15,200, sits in a solid fourth and is a ray of light for General Motors. It recorded a five-per-cent year-over-year sales increase in the first quarter reports. Its 2014 March sales were a fraction under 50 per cent

better than last year. In fact, it’s the brand’s bestseller with worldwide sales in excess of two million since its launch. Much has been written about the Ford revival and its excellent world car products – most of which fall into the small car category. GM does have competing products in what’s become a crowded market. The sub-compact Sonic is in the top 20 but nothing has caught on the way the Cruze has. It first surfaced here in late 2010 as a globally developed and designed compact four-door sedan and fivedoor hatchback, replacing the outgoing Cobalt. When I drove one of the early editions, I was impressed with its design and performance, which matched any rival. It’s a car for a small family starting out or for singles with a daily commute on their hands.

However, I feared the Cruze would suffer from the apparent prejudice against domestically produced small cars but its sales I feared the Cruze prove me to be a would suffer from the pessimist!

Harley It’s actually light By Alexandra Straub

AUSTIN, Tex. – I can’t think of a better time to learn how to ride – or a harder time to ride. These juxtaposing thoughts can be explained thusly. There are so many great choices for new riders, it’s hard to make a decision. But the variety also means there are bikes to suit all. Enter the 2015 Harley-Davidson Street 750. 222 kilograms, soaking wet. Hitting streets later this year, it’s the first new bike the American motorcycle maker has made from scratch in the last 11 years. The Street 750 is matched with a liquid-cooled – yes, liquid! 749 cc, 60-degree, which gives ample acceleration. Not only that, it doesn’t spew unwanted heat when idling. And if you’re like me, and wear full gear even on hot days, you like that. Normally, stop-go traffic on a Harley would be a pain. However, it wasn’t with the 750. It’s the lightest clutch of any Harley. The 2015 Street 750 has many good things going for it. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

It’s still hard for Widetrack fans to believe that the entire division is no more. It was a virtual tossup between Nos. 1 and 2 as to the most -missed car, but with the 50th anniversa-

ry of the GTO (and arguably the muscle car itself) coming up, it has to be the Goat. Not the Australian Holden-in-disguise that we got from 2004-06, mind you, but the real 1964-72 bit of classic American muscle. Pontiac Trans Am

Chevy El Camino

The half-car, half-pickup concept had real legs, lasting from the 1950s through the 1980s. It deserves another shot but GM seems to disagree, having on multiple occasions stubbornly refused to bring back the beloved El Camino.

LEASE FROM **

Firebird gone, it’s reasonably certain that the famous T/A, with surely the most audacious hood decal, is gone for good (at least from GM). For people who just can’t accept that, performance car genius Ken Lingenfelter will sell you a fantastic Trans Am-inspired Camaro LTA.

MGB was the sports car Americans loved first, with servicemen bringing back MG TCs after WWII. When it was introduced in 1962, few could have imagined that the MGB would be the last new MG sold in the U.S. Nonetheless, that’s how it played out. In 1980, with the British auto industry in a free fall, the quaint factory in

Abingdon, England, was closed, and that was it for MGs in the U.S. A shame; even though woefully outdated, the MGB had little to no competition and could have gone on almost indefinitely, or at least until 1989, when the Mazda Miata was introduced. Those of a certain age still miss the little MGB on sunny days. Olds Vista Cruiser station wagon

Nearly every boomer has a story about the Vista Cruiser, whether it’s a road trip from hell or just getting shuttled to school or Cub Scouts or Brownies in one. The Vista Cruiser, with its unique windows on the roof and the back, backseat where misbehaving siblings could be banished, was the official wagon of the wonder years for so many boomers.

Morningstar brings luxurious view homes to Maple Ridge By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes has an excellent track record for building spectacular single-family homes, including nine neighbourhoods on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain, and are one of the largest single-family builders in the area with nearly 2,000 homes built to date. Now they are heading out to Maple Ridge to showcase their expertise with their latest project, The Summit at Grant Hill.

“These are some of our best designs ever,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing at Morningstar. “Add to that the scenic backdrop of the Golden Ears Mountains and it’s just magical.” In fact, Calahan notes that she’s already had a lot of people contacting her wanting more information about the project, or to purchase a home immediately. “We’re thrilled at the response to our homes,” she says. “We’re bringing our best ideas from Burke Mountain to Maple

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Ridge … and adding some new twists.” They also have Robertson Heights coming soon to Maple Ridge, with an expected opening in early September. “Maple Ridge is a new area for us, full of natural beauty,” Calahan says. “Here, we’ve created new designs that address the stunning views and natural surroundings and blend with the uniqueness of the neighbourhood.” In this case, it is sprawling estate homes with three-car garages and huge windows to capture the maximum amount of views and nature possible! The Summit at Grant Hill will feature 26 four-bedroom luxury homes on 1/2 acre homesites with large, private backyards perfect for a hot tub, basketball court or pool. It’s up to you! The lush greenery surrounding the homes adds to the sense of peace you’ll feel as soon as you enter your new home, and the views of the mountains and blue skies are simply stunning. Inside, the vaulted ceilings, gorgeous kitchens and relaxing bedrooms are designed to impress, and Morningstar is offering CONTINUED INSIDE

Blexo Developments’ Delta Rise is a premier real estate opportunity in North Delta, with huge balconies, spacious homes and a prime location that offers stunning views and easy access to shopping, dining, leisure and recreation opportunities.

Rising to the top with Delta Rise By Kerry Vital

Blexo Developments is bringing a new class of real estate to North Delta with Delta Rise, a curving tower with a glass facade that has buyers all over the Lower Mainland getting excited. “You have to see it to believe it,” says Satish Sharma, principal at Blexo Developments. “You can’t replicate this anywhere else.” As the tallest tower in North Delta at 37 storeys, Delta Rise offers amazing views, and large balconies to take advantage of them. “The balconies are larger than those in some single-family homes,” Sharma says. At 300 square feet, he’s right. The balcony offers tons of room for entertaining or relaxing and watching the sunset. Oversized windows let the natural light pour in, while 8’6” ceilings and spacious floorplans contribute to the luxurious feeling in every home. Homes at Delta Rise range from 475 to 1,039 square feet, in a variety of one-, two- and three-bedroom plans. The gourmet kitchen, with its stainless-steel appliances and polished quartz countertops will suit chefs of any calibre. “These finishings are extremely highquality,” says Sharma.

The bedrooms have built-in wardrobes instead of traditional closets, adding an extra level of convenience to your home, and the bathrooms are stylish and elegant, with a floating laminate vanity, polished solid quartz countertops and a deep soaker tub with integral skirt and full-height stacked porcelain tile tub surround. Delta Rise is part of the revitalization of the Delta area, which is rapidly becoming an important hub for growth and investment. It will be located minutes from the new North Delta Community Park and Rec Centre, as well as Sungod Recreation Centre and several other parks and green spaces. Schools, shopping and dining are all within walking distance. In fact, Delta Rise will have a coffee shop in its lobby, as well as a resident concierge service. Other amenities on-site include a rooftop courtyard on the third level, with a park, outdoor barbecue pit, playground, garden plots, outdoor fitness area, zen garden and much more. Inside, there will be a fitness centre, media and entertainment rooms, a workshop, a library and meeting rooms, among other amenities. “Delta is truly open for business,” says Sharma. “It has so much to offer.” Homes at Delta Rise start at $199,000. For more information, visit www.deltarise. ca, call 604-594-RISE (7473), or stop by the presentation centre at 11941 80 Avenue, Delta, open daily between 1 and 6 p.m. Monday to Friday and noon and 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Morningstar has built two show homes for buyers to visit. “We take the guess-work out, by providing show homes that are tangible examples of what your home will be like,” says Calahan. “Prospective purchasers can walk through the show homes and choose which floorplan is right for them!” Buyers at any Morningstar project are assured of great customer service as well as the peace of mind in knowing that they are purchasing from a reputable builder who will stand behind the homes they sell. In fact, Calahan notes that she often sees buyers looking at a Morningstar home after a friend or family member purchases one. “Word-of-mouth is our best form of advertising,” she says. “We’ve found the secret recipe for making homeowners happy.” Buyers will certainly be happy with their home at The Summit at Grant Hill. “This is definitely going to be a winner for us,” says Calahan. “We are building luxury homes on large scenic properties at great prices; now that’s something that you don’t see every day!” Purchasing a new home can be stressful, but Morningstar always endeavors to take the stress out of home-buying experience (that is the Morningstar Promise after all!), making it easy for you to sit back and enjoy the process. Morningstar is holding a grand opening of The Summit at Grant Hill on July 12, starting at noon. Calahan urges interested buyers to pre-register, which will give you earlier access to purchase one of the homes. The sales centre is located at 25465 Godwin Drive, Maple Ridge, and homes will start at $690,000 plus GST.

REAL ESTATE IN MAPLE RIDGE & PITT MEADOWS

Selling your home now? Market needs it now By Robert Prince

If you’re looking to sell your home, and you have a well-kept house that’s valued in the $400,000 to $500,000 range, now would be a great time to list. That’s the word from local realtors Irena Shantz and Terry Passley, who are busy, busy these days because such homes are selling like hotcakes right now. It’s kind of unusual, they both admit, given that real estate sales typically slow right down in the summer months, but the market has been on an upswing since April and each agrees it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Sales of detached homes, townhouses and apartments are all up in the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows area, with townhomes leading the charge at a whopping 29-per-cent increase over last year for the period April through June. Apartment sales –primarily new inventory – showed a 28-per-cent increase for the same period, and detached homes showed a 20 per cent gain. The big problem right now, says Irena Shantz of Re/Max Lifestyles Realty, is that there isn’t enough inventory available when it comes to single family detached houses. “Unique properties are staying on the market a long time,” the long-time Maple Ridge real estate agent says. “Anything below $500,000 that is presented nicely is selling fast.” Shantz notes “unique” properties might include those that are custom builds, have specific geographic issues (flood plains for instance), or ones that are more expensive. Terry Passley, a veteran agent with Coldwell Banker Tri-Tel Realty, concurs when it comes to the “sweet spot” in the current market. “It’s definitely hard to find inventory in the lower price range right now,” he notes, adding that anything under $500,000 is tough to find, while there’s much more to choose from in the $500,000 to $700,000 range. Passley says he believes the market has turned a corner, and is finally rising to the 2011 levels that followed the 2008 market implosion. He’s seeing more building, with “builders absorbing existing lots because

Irena Shantz with RE/MAX LifeStyles Realty in Maple Ridge says housing sales have been steadily increasing since the beginning of this year.

they’re feeling more confident in the marketplace.” He’s also bullish when it comes to buying apartments because there’s currently a glut of new units on the market thanks to a recent building boom. He says there are a lot of good deals on apartments right now because the market has a large supply and developers are willing to help would-be buyers get into one of those units. Shantz’ assessment of the situation is that now is definitely a good time to put a house on the market if it’s priced in the lower range. “The momentum indicates we’re moving back towards the 2011 high. We’re not quite there, but it’s moving in the right direction.” Though she doesn’t have a crystal ball, Shantz says she doesn’t see any impediments

to the market staying buoyant… unless the government, CMHC or the Bank of Canada have something to spring on the market that they haven’t hinted at. “There’s always talk, but I don’t think we need to worry in the short term.” Passley, too, doesn’t see anything in the near future that might affect the market adversely. He says Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows should continue to do well because they’re better priced when compared to communities west and south, and because of those communities’ proximity to Mother Nature. “Yesterday I had people from Calgary in the car because they wanted to be close to nature, and the day before it was people from Burnaby. We have what people want.” Statistics from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver at the end of June show

that Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows combined saw 394 detached home sales from April through June compared to 328 in the same period in 2013. Townhouse sales were 150 in 2014 compared to 118 in 2013, and apartment sales were 100 in 2014 compared to 76 the previous year. Detached home listings for the same period were down eight per cent this year compared to last, while attached and apartment listings were down 21 and 19 per cent respectively. “Over the last three years we’ve seen changes in demand yet home prices at the regional level have remained relatively stable,” said REBGV president Ray Harris. “The sales-to-active-listing ratio currently sits at 21.3 per cent in Greater Vancouver, which is the highest this measure has been since June 2011.”

Burrards start drive for B.C. gold

Power lifter sets national records

Association hosts female provincial championships by Nei l Corbe tt Black Press

Ridge Meadows Burrards teams will almost certainly be wearing some hardware, after hosting the BCLA Minor Box Lacrosse Female Provincial Championships this weekend, at Planet Ice and Pitt Meadows arenas. At press time on Thursday, Ridge’s four teams had gone six-for-six in their opening games. Organizer Marian Lesser explained the 24-team event features six teams in each of four divisions – pee wee, bantam, midget and junior. They will play five games, in a true round-robin format. Then, the top two teams will play off for provincial gold and silver, and the third/fourth place teams will meet for silver. The golden games will be at Planet Ice on Sunday, starting with the pee wees at 8:45 a.m., bantams at 10:45 a.m., midgets at 12:45 p.m. and ju-

Lesser said the Burrards are one of the strongest associations in the tournament, and should be favoured to at least medal in every division. The Burrards opened the event on

Wednesday, with four wins over Nanaimo teams. The Pee wees won 9-7, the Bantams 18-2, the midgets 7-0 and the juniors 6-0. On Thursday morning the winning continued, with the pee wees beating a tough New Westminster team 5-4, and the bantams coming from behind to beat Langley 7-5. Lesser said lacrosse is one of the

Maple Ridge power lifter Kassidy Webster has set new Canadian records in her sport. At the provincial championships in Vancouver last month, the 15-yearold had a squat of 90 kg, a bench press of 57.5 kg and a deadlift of 120 kg. Those marks, and her combined total of 267.5 kg were national records in her subjunior 52kg weight class – she weighs just 51.4 kg. After a bad fall when she was a pre-teen, Webster suffered a broken hip. It was an injury that doctors at Children’s Hospital feared could leave her with a permanent limp and other complications. As reported in a November 2013 profile, her dedication to rehabilitation has left her with elite-level training habits. Her trainer, Adam Francilia, said she will now begin training in the snatch and clean and jerk techniques – training for Olympic power lifting events, Her win qualifies her for the national powerlifting championships in 2015.

Burrards blowout begins three-game set vs Adanacs Ben McIntosh has three goals and six points in 10-5 victory by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

The Maple Ridge Burrards beat the Coquitlam Adanacs 10-5 on Tuesday night in a home game at Planet Ice. “It was one of our better games offensively,” said coach Chris Gill. The game underlined how dangerous the Burrards can be on the power play, and perhaps showed how many wins they gave away by being on the wrong side of the referees. They are the most penalized team in the league by a healthy margin. But Ridge’s power play went four-for-five on the night, and kept them in the game in the first period, which ended tied at 3-3. The Burrards took the game over in the second period, with five straight unanswered goals. Big Ben McIntosh led the offence with three goals and six points, while Jarrett Davis was right behind him with two goals and three assists for five points. “Benny stepped up, and so did Murphy,” said Gill, and noted that the team has a number of players who could fill

the role of sniper on any given night. Andrew Murphy and Mike Mallory each had two goals and an assist, and the other scorer was Riley Loewen, who had three points as well. Loewen is the team’s leading scorer, in the top ten in the Western Lacrosse Association, with 39 points in nine games. Frankie Scigliano made 33 saves on 38 shots. After eight games the rookie first-round pick has arguably been the best goaltender in the league, at least statistically. He remains atop the league in both goals against average at 6.96 per game, and save percentage at 0.835. Close behind in both categories is Victoria’s Matt Flindell, a veteran of five seasons who plays for the league’s top team, with 7.32 goals against on average, and a save percentage of 0.822. It was the first of back-to-back-toback games against the Adanacs, and gives the Burrards second place in the Western Lacrosse Association with a record of 7-5-1. “We’re not ecstatic with where we are,” said Gill. “We figure we’ve given a few games away, where the other team didn’t beat us, we beat ourselves.” The Burrards will again play their next home game on Tuesday night at Planet Ice, at 7:45 p.m. against the Adanacs.

Build Your Career With Us Looking for your next great career opportunity? Do you thrive in a dynamic and challenging environment with the potenƟal for conƟnuous growth and development? At Tolko people are our most valuable resource and our success depends on innovaƟve individuals who are aligned with our organizaƟonal values. We currently have the following career opportunity available:

SAVOLA, Phyllis Rosella October 17, 1936 - June 30, 2014 Phyllis Rosella Savola passed away quietly on Monday June 30, 2014 at Fraser Canyon Hospital with family at her side. She will be dearly missed by her husband, Raymond, of more than 58 years; by her children Patricia (Iris), Susan (Henry), and Stephen (Fern); by her siblings, Dolly, Sharon (Dennis), and Harold (Elsie)..and by all of their families which includes 4 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Phyllis was predeceased by her parents, Ida and Jalmer, and by her sister, Helen. Phyllis was born Oct 17, 1936 in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan. Raised mainly in Vancouver, she lived many places thereafter. She graduated high school in Kansas, and after returning home to marry Raymond they lived in Woss, Burnaby, Boston Bar, and then settled in Hope to raise their family. They were active in the community and later in life moved to Duncan and then Maple Ridge. Phyllis also loved to travel for pleasure and often trekked the globe with family and friends. Phyllis's life was not defined by MS though she lived bravely with it since 1970- blazing a trail of alternative medicine pathways, and being singularly instrumental in getting acupuncture legalized for use in BC. Strongly political, Phyllis was the first woman to run for Hope Council losing only by

a slim margin; passionately involved in organic food as a way of healing, she was a fledgling member of the Hope food co-operative; as a lifelong learner, she was the first adult woman student to take her toddler son to classes at SFU. Phyllis had many long-time friends throughout her life and she loved to play bridge, cribbage, and scrabble - all of which she played enthusiastically, often, and well. Phyllis returned to Hope when her fight with MS necessitated the care that was provided by the staff and friends of the Fraser Hope Lodge. Phyllis's family would like to say a special thank you to all the caring folks at Fraser Hope Lodge, to her caregivers, Shirley and Sky, and to the medical staff at Fraser Canyon Hospital. We will celebrate Phyllis's life with a get-together and light lunch at 1pm on July 19, 2014 where we will honour her and her love of humour...so please bring your stories, a joke, a skit or any other way we can have a final laugh in her memory. The venue is located at 6418 Mt. Lehman Rd, Abbotsford. We are making a special "Phyllis Garden" at Sue's. If you wish to contribute, please bring a potted plant or a small garden ornament labelled with your name...or donate to your favourite charity, or just come and say goodbye with us.
