Divide up welfare cheques: study

Maple Ridge councillor supports idea By Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

Reducing the number of drug overdoses may not be as simple as just changing the days when people get their income assistance cheques. But it’s an idea worth trying in an attempt to keep money from burning holes in people’s pockets, according to a new study and a local councillor. “One of the triggers for someone trying to stay clean is if they get a lot of money in their hands. I can say that definitely is a trigger for some people,” says Annika Polegato, executive-director with Alouette Addictions Services in Maple Ridge. See Welfare, 15

How about overpass at Allen Way? Pitt Coun. Bruce Bell wants city to look at an alternative to Harris Rd. By M o ni s ha M ar tin s mmartins@mapleridgenews.com

A Pitt Meadows councillor wants the city to consider an alternative to an overpass at Harris Road and Lougheed Highway to relieve traffic congestion. Coun. Bruce Bell has suggested

constructing an interchange, or fly-over, further west at Allen Way, and said the idea was discussed in earnest for the first time this past week during a meeting with the province at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention in Whistler. “We don’t know how seriously they are considering it,” said Bell, adding it’s a start. “Allen Way is in the mix, but we don’t know what they will say.” The Lougheed corridor, which is under provincial jurisdiction,

cording to ICBC statistics. Bell believes that the city would be better served by looking at Allen Way than Harris Rd. The plan would entail extending Allen Way, past the Westfair Food yard towards McMyn Road and include an overpass above the railway tracks. The city wouldn’t have to expropriate land that is already developed along Harris Rd., or move a high-pressure natural gas pipe line near McDonald’s, or relocate a heritage building. See Overpass, 3

NLC developer to work past roadblock

Lougheed commercial plan. The city hopes spurring development along the strip will fund the construction of the North Lougheed Connector, a 3.6-kilometre road that would eventually connect to an interchange at Harris Road and Lougheed Highway. Elkerton does not want taxpayers to foot the bill for the connector, which is expected to cost $17.5 million just to construct. A transportation plan estimates the city will have to contribute at least $6 million for the connector. Add on an interchange at Harris and Lougheed and the city’s portion of the $52-million project balloons to $18.5 million. “What did you think was going

to happen when we lost one of the councillors,” Elkerton said at the meeting. Coun. Doug Bing resigned in January to focus on his new role as the B.C. Liberal MLA for Maple RidgePitt Meadows. “Did you think we were just going to salute and put our municipality in financial jeopardy? It just boggles my mind,” Elkerton said. Coun. Tracy Miyashita, who has been supportive of development the North Lougheed corridor from the start, believes any development is better than nothing. “I think any kind of jobs in our community is a good thing,” she said. “We need that for our residents so they don’t have to commute. It will provide relief on Old Dewdney to support the farming community. This is a solution to residential taxes. I’m saying yes to more jobs and yes to lower taxes and yes to helping our farmers and yes to improving traffic flow.” City staff say since the resolutions to move the North Lougheed process forward were defeated last week, things remain on hold. Director of operations Cory Day said it is too early for staff to begin planning for traffic calming on Old Dewdney Trunk, one of the conditions for removing the land from the provincial protected Agricultural Land Reserve. “Council can restart the process at any time,” said Day. As for Metro Vancouver, Day explained the regional growth amendment will just sit. Day doesn’t know how long the city is allowed to keep the process in limbo. “If eons go by, sooner or later someone at Metro is going to clean out the house and wonder why this didn’t move forward?,” he added. “We don’t have time frames.”

Grout said that discussion has just started with council. “More clarity is needed on what the ministry is planning before the city would be in a position to initiate anything,” she said. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure stressed it recognizes the importance of Highway 7 through Pitt Meadows for the movement of both goods and people within the region. “The safe and efficient movement of the traveling public on our highway network is one of the ministry’s highest priorities,” the ministry said. It noted that $200 million in up-

grades along the Highway 7 corridor were completed by the ministry in 2011. The Harris Rd. intersection was specifically addressed for congestion with the installation of three left-turn lanes. The ministry continues to monitor the signal timing at the intersection “to ensure performance efficiency.” A spokesperson for the province said the ministry continues to work in collaboration with local municipalities on identifying future improvement strategies for the Lougheed Hwy. corridor, but did not address questions about Allen Way.

SmartCentres disappointed by stall By M o ni s ha M ar tin s mmartins@mapleridgenews.com

land developer whose owns property in the North Lougheed corridor is disappointed that Pitt Meadows’ plans for the area have hit a roadblock. At a meeting Sept. 16, council failed to give first and second reading to a bylaw that would allow the city to amend its official community plan. The 3-3 split also meant the city can’t amend its regional context statement, a requirement for any land use changes by Metro Vancouver. “It will put the North Lougheed on hold for an undetermined amount of time,” chief administrative officer Kim Grout said before council voted. The city envisions a mixed-employment and highway commercial development for the 50-hectare area, zoning that includes everything from a business hotel with meeting facilities, offices, as well as more shopping with big-box anchor stores. SmartCentres, which owns a large chunk of land in the corridor and bills itself as Canada’s largest developer and operator of “unenclosed shopping centres,” claims the development would bring 600,000 square feet of new retail commercial space and two million square feet of mixed employment uses to the city. “Naturally, we are disappointed that the planning process has not progressed as quickly as we would have liked, particularly in light of recent decisions made by the ALC and Metro Vancouver on the North Lougheed corridor,” said Sandra Kaiser, vice-president of corporate affairs with SmartCentres. The company also owns land in the Albion Flats of Maple Ridge.

THE NEWS/files

Pitt Coun. Dave Murray questions the benefits a large mall development in the North Lougheed corridor would provide. SmartCentres is not going to abandon its plans for development, however. “We will continue to work with staff to push this project forward as we are very committed to having a presence in the Pitt Meadows community,” said Kaiser. In rejecting development for the entire 50-hectare area, Coun. Janis Elkerton reminded her colleagues that a similar tax windfall was promised when Meadowtown Centre was developed. “We were told it would be the panacea for our problems with taxation,” said Elkerton. “You can see the mall opening did not decrease your taxes.” The city receives around $1.4 million annually from Meadowtown

Centre. Coun. Dave Murray pointed out that the number of jobs promised has differed widely. SmartCentres claims the development would generate up to 1,200 retail jobs and 9,000 office and industrial jobs. Another study projects 6,000 jobs. “What kind of jobs are these going to be,” asked Murray. “A lot of residents don’t realize these big box stores don’t pay high taxes. We are better off with other businesses that will bring in more taxes. Once that concrete goes down, that land is gone and it’s not coming back for 100 years.” Murray’s colleagues were upset that he, Elkerton and Bruce Bell were not supportive of the North

‘A lot of spin-off opportunities’ “There’s a lot more in it for Pitt Meadows, a lot of spin-off opportunities” said Bell. “It would open up that whole area for the airport, as well. It’s good for the fire department and emergency services as another way to get across. I hope it’s not a pipe dream for me. To me, it’s the best place for the project.” The city, meanwhile, continues to push the province for a commitment on funding the Lougheed Hwy. improvements.

The total cost of building a connecting road and an overpass at Harris Road is pegged at $34 million, excluding land expropriation. Another report from the city suggests the figure would be closer to $52 million. Pitt Meadows chief administrative officer Kim Grout said council met Tuesday with the Ministry of Transportation. “Council was looking for an update on the ministry’s review of the Lougheed Hwy. corridor and some

commitment to consult with the municipality before any final decisions are made on what future upgrades might look like in our area,” she added. “There was an openness to dialogue, but there was no discussion about funding.” The ministry is reviewing the corridor from Kennedy through to Maple Meadows Way, but the city has yet to see any reports. As for Allen Way as an alternative,

Bedbug scare at Maple Ridge mental health unit Closed for a day for pest control

By Monisha Martins mmartins@mapleridgenews.com

A Fraser Health clinic in Maple Ridge was shut down for a day after staff discovered several bed bugs in the office. Services at the mental health unit near city hall were not affected during the closure as case managers did home visits and counselling or intake inquiries were relocated to other sites. “It’s not an infestation,” stressed Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma. Earlier this week, one bed bug was discovered by accident. Following a thorough cleaning of the office, a second bug was discovered. A dog was brought in to sniff out other bed bugs but none were discovered. Staff found a third dead bed bug the next day. “As a precaution, we had the space treated by pest control,” said Juma.

State of welfare A new study suggests that creating new or more distribution options for welfare cheques will reduce drug overdoses. The study findings, released in the International Journal of Drug Policy, revealed the risk of drug overdose among injection drug users increased dramatically on and immediately following the days income assistance cheques are distributed in B.C. – the last Wednesday of each month. Researchers at the Urban Health Research Initiative for the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, at St. Paul’s Hospital, observed the risk of overdoses among people injecting drugs at InSite, a supervised facility, was more than twice as likely on or immediately after cheques are issued. It wasn’t that a higher number of injections were occurring, just riskier behaviour at the time. The findings are consistent with overdose data from the Vancouver Coastal Health Authourity and hospital emergency departments, as well as Vancouver Police Department information about increased service demands. While Ridge Meadows RCMP claims there is no connection between welfare day and overdoses, Maple Ridge Coun. Bob Masse, also a downtown business owner and member of the city’s social planning advisory committee, confirms the latter to be true – binging tends to happen when income assistance cheques are handed out. He also supports one of the study’s recommendations, a trial to divide welfare cheques over at least two payments, with direct deposit. Even it doing so does not reduce the number of overdoses overall, it could spread them out and relieve pressure on hospital staff and police, as well as mitigate other drug-related harms associated with cheque day, possibly violence and prostitution. Masse thinks the trial makes sense and is worth a try. So do the experts. So why not? – The News

Justice delayed is justice denied It is doubtful any child may be expected to succeed in life if denied the opportunity of an education ... a right which must be made available to all on equal terms – U.S. Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren, Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, 1954.

Along the Fraser Jack Emberly

remier Christy Clark slipped into town recently to celebrate a graduation – Maple Ridge became a city. Folks anxious to discuss something more important – the impact of closed schools on the lives – failed to get her to answer questions. They’d already failed to meet with their MLAs. Doug Bing was in the council chamber lobby. Emberly: Even the premier says class composition is the main issue – too many unsupported designated students and kids on waiting lists for two years. Are they getting equal education? Bing: No. We can always make things better. My son had a learning disability. We couldn’t get testing through the system in 1989. It would have taken us two years. Emberly: The funnel’s too small?

uestion of the week:

Bing: Obviously, it’s not (big) enough, but you’ve only got so much money. Emberly: Is it priorities? Bing: Health gobbles up most of the budget, but education is the second priority. Emberly: My dad only had Grade 8. He said schooling was the hope for a disadvantaged kid to get ahead. Did you hear this? Bing: Yes. My dad had Grade 8. He faced discrimination (as a Chinese Canadian). It wasn’t until after the Second World War they were granted citizenship. It let us to go to university. Emberly: We’ve had court decisions that teachers have the right to bargain class composition, and funding for support should return to 2002 levels, but your government has appealed. It’s more years of waiting for kids who need help. Should government accept the decisions of our courts? Bing: We’ll, that’s the system. If a lower court makes a ruling, we have the right to appeal, in some cases, as far as the Supreme Court of Canada. Emberly: The NDP did that in 1994, when the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal ruled it underfunded support for special needs student Geoffrey Moore after North Vancouver District shut down its resource centre. When the NDP appealed, B.C. kids were denied equal opportunity all their school years. You’re doing that now. Is that right? Bing: There’s a saying that justice delayed is justice denied, but there are legitimate

Was the length of the teachers’ strike worth the settlement the union agreed to? Yes: 20% – No: 80%

reasons for appealing decisions. “This is the first interview I’ve had,” MLA Marc Dalton said. “Equal opportunity?” I asked. “It depends on the location. In remote areas, no.” “Do students on wait lists have equal opportunity?” “There’s a need to be flexible and we are doing that – a personalized learning process that allows teachers to be flexible, training programs for teachers, special education assistants. We have excellent results [regarding] test scores in math and reading. Sometimes, we lose sight of that in light of the challenges we face.” The Warren quote is from Stakes Fairness, Educational Adequacy, and Equal Opportunity in Education, by Lesley Jacobs, York University, Toronto, 2008. Jacobs notes the judge stated black students were entitled to support to achieve equality. States later contended “equal” didn’t apply to all challenged students, only racially segregated ones, and the input (money put in) doesn’t always justify the output (achievement). A cheaper “adequate” educational model was advanced. Parents complained it limits their kid’s success. Court challenges are common now in the U.S. Both MLAs said they’ve never heard the words “adequate funding” used in Victoria. Neither has UBC professor Pat Mirenda.

Lost shelter funding is a travesty

online comments Let capitalism decide Mike Taggart: Re: Dollar, quick cash stores a concern (The News, Sept. 24). Let capitalism decide what businesses should exist. If 15 sushi restaurants is too many, they will go out of business eventually. Why should the city dictate what businesses should exist? How do they know what is feasible or not? Instead of limiting the business types you don’t want, do more to promote the ones you do want. • Claus Andrup · principle at Andrup Holdings Inc.: Deddy, spot on with the cheap loans, tattoos and dollar stores – it looks like we are going all out to create our own special skid row. But hey, you can’t have enough sushi, even though there is only one sushi restaurant worth visiting. And we all know where it is.

Talk about what matters Emberly from 6

“It implies there’s a benchmark criterion, and when we meet it we call it adequate. The topics in education have always focused on union demands for wages, and saving taxpayer money, and whenever the BCTF could get another word in – class size and composition.” Clark says we “can talk about things that matter now.” Let’s debate adequate or equal, and whether hope rates with test scores as achievement. Let’s do it at town hall meetings attended by MLAs and school trustees until we have a covenant – a promise for education that neither politics nor ignorance can destroy. Jack Emberly is a retired teacher, local author and environmentalist.

Editor, The News: Re: Shelter losing cold weather beds (The News, Sept. 24). Having read the article by Monisha Martins about the federal government no longer funding beds for the poor in the winter, I had to speak out. This is a travesty and an abandonment of our most needy citizens. At the same time, this government is giving huge tax breaks to corporations that fund their election campaigns to the tune of millions. And, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has made Canada a proxy of the U.S. – wars abroad, spending hundreds of millions of out tax dollars fighting America’s wars. Let’s take care of our own first, and not abdicate our responsibilities for the marginalize or weak in our society. True, they don’t donate to the Conservatives and probably don’t even vote, but they are still Canadians and deserve to be cared for. Shame on you, Mr. Harper, and your bloody callousness.

Mayor balks at criticism of municipal salaries

INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT?

Ernie Daykin says study faulty

COME & TALK TO US. WE CAN HELP EASE THE PAIN.

B y Phil Mel nyc hu k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin is siding with the Union of B.C. Municipalities in blasting a provincial study of municipal salaries. The report, by consultants Ernst and Young, was conducted as part of the province’s core review, launched last year, and found unionized municipal workers received pay hikes totaling 38 per cent from 2001 to 2012 – twice as much as the 19-per-cent in raises for unionized provincial government staff. Inflation over the same period was 23 per cent. Daykin said the study is faulty because it used numbers without checking with municipalities. The municipal salaries included wages earned by B.C. Ferries employees and TransLink. “That’s one of the flaws in the study.” UBCM president Rhona Martin said the authors didn’t consult

cities or unions and showed a “lack of objectivity” and relied heavily on provincial data and anti-tax lobby groups like the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Maple Ridge finance general manager Paul Gill said it’s not a case of a workers receiving across- the-board wage hikes of 38 per cent. Instead, that increase is a result of the effect of compounding pay increases, as well as the effect of new employees getting regular increases as they move through the pay grid. A case in point is the dozens of new firefighters the city has hired. “If somebody said our wage bill went up 38 per cent over 11 years, I would not be surprised,” Gill said. “To imply that somebody in the same job … without any changes, their numbers have gone up, I don’t think that’s a correct way of representing the issue.” Municipalities also have to deal with high rates of growth.

According to a 2001 financial report, Maple Ridge’s general and administrative expenses rang in $5.4 million. Twelve years later, they were at $16.6 million. In 2001, Ma- Daykin ple Ridge had 233 full-time employees compared to 367 in 2013. The district is also hauling in more cash, however. In 2001, total general revenue was $71 million. In 2014, the projection is for $151 million in general revenue. Daykin also pointed out cities have keep up with pay raises awarded through arbitration and must pay for police and fire services, which increase with population growth. Maple Ridge previously proposed that the municipal auditor gen-

Daykin welcomed provincial oversight of municipal operations. “But we want the same lens put on their books.” The provincial government can’t even manage its own legislative expenses, he added. The report also notes several larger B.C. cities pay their chief administrators close to $230,000 a year, similar to the 2011 salary of an average provincial government deputy minister. In 2013, Maple Ridge’s chief administrator Jim Rule, made just under $229,000. The review of municipal pay levels ordered by the province recommends the government act to help rein in rapidly escalating wages among unionized civic workers and some administrators.

Lake also raised the possibility of shifting Burnaby into the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, as well as closer collaboration between the two health regions as they work to rebuild St. Paul’s and Royal Columbian hospitals.

Chamber warns about potential sale scam By M o ni s ha M ar tin s mmartins@mapleridgenews.com

Just in case someone approaches you to ask about your business property, saying the local chamber of commerce wants to buy it, don’t fall for it or get into any discussion about any kind of offer. It’s a scam, says the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Chamber of Commerce. It’s not exactly certain what the potential scammer is after or what is the motive. Chamber executive-director Andrea Madden said Thursday that a woman purporting to be from the chamber approached a business owner Wednesday, saying she from the chamber and interested in buying the property. That sounded fishy and is something the chamber wouldn’t do, Madden pointed out. The chamber issued a warning by e-mail to its members on Thursday, then heard from three other members who’ve also been approached. But the chamber isn’t moving from its spot that it shares with Tourism Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows on Harris Road. “We just want to make sure we stop it and inform the community that it’s going on,” Madden said.

‘128th Ave. needs to be widened’ B y Phil Mel nyc hu k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

After making a plea to keep 168 modular homes from being built in the area, long-time residents are now battling another plan to put in 34 homes on leafy Fern Crescent, running along the South Alouette River. “We’re objecting to the level of density they’re proposing for this area,” said resident Harvey Gigun. “What we’re saying is the official community plan is out of date.” Gigun wants the city to reconsider the proposal and reduce the density of the project proposed for lots at 24005, 24009 and

24075 Fern Crescent. However, the developer has already reduced the number of units from 44 to 34. Gigun says the proposal will have vehicle entry and exit directly on to Fern Crescent on a blind curve. That could create dangerous driving conditions as newcomers file on to the busy road that leads to Golden Ears Provincial Park, one of the busiest parks in the province, serving the huge Metro Vancouver area. Residents have already told the city how they feel at an earlier public hearing. Local realtor and Fern Crescent resident John Dale said the city is ignoring the Silver Valley area plan, which includes the area proposed for development.

For one, the plan calls for schools to anchor the four hamlets in Silver Valley around which neighbourhoods will be clustered. “If the hamlet is not going to be centred on an elementary school, then the OCP should be amended,” Dale said in an address to council.

“If the hamlet is not going to be centred on an elementary school, then the OCP should be amended.” John Dale With provincial funding restraints, it’s not certain when or if a school will be built in Silver Valley.

Dale also said there have been no transportation improvements made in recent years while the 3,500 sq.-ft lots aren’t suitable for the area. Other developments nearby, such as Rock Ridge or Balsam Creek, have less density and larger lots. At the least, Dale said 128th Avenue needs to be widened so that residential traffic can be routed off Fern Crescent which he said carries more than 600,000 vehicles yearly to the park. The road is deteriorating, he added. “I have walked, biked, hitchhiked and driven Fern Crescent hundreds of times. Fern does not even begin to meet the criteria for an arterial or collector route …” Council will deal with the proposal at future meeting.

Oil on stove sparks fire Two women escape without injury By M o ni s ha M ar tin s mmartins@mapleridgenews.com

Two women escaped a fastmoving fire that ignited after they left a pot of oil on the stove. The blaze started just before 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at a house

in the 11500 block of River Wynd in Maple Ridge. The occupants of the home were cooking when the fire started. “It was momentarily left unattended and the pot caught fire. That’s all it take,” said fire chief Dane Spence. The house was constructed in the 1950s, so there was not a lot of drywall to keep the flames

from spreading. The fire spread quickly from the kitchen, giving the women little time to flee. They ran outside and called 911. No one was injured, but the home was substantially damaged. Spence said the fire illustrates why the fire department advises people against heating oil on the stove. “Our advice is to only heat oil

in a proper deep fryer,” he added. Deep fryers are thermally regulated to not let oil get to its auto-ignition temperature – a temperature at which oil ignites on its own. “With a pot on the stove, if you turn it up high, you can easily surpass the auto-ignition temperature,” Spence said. “If you are right in front of it, the fire can be snuffed out by putting a lid on it and removing it from the heat source. But if you are not there to do that, the situation gets out of hand pretty quickly.”

Mayors’ council chair Richard Walton previously said the referendum question and parameters needed to be settled by September, but now hopes it will be mostly determined by an Oct. 17 meeting and finalized Dec. 11. The delay may spare Metro mayors the need to defend the specifics of proposed new taxes for TransLink in midcampaign, but Walton denied the election timing is a motive for delay. “No, I don’t think that’s come up,” Walton said. “The sooner we can get on with this the better.” The main challenge, he said, is determining how much TransLink might reasonably expect in contributions from the federal and provincial governments. Mayors in June unveiled a vision proposing $7.5 billion in capital upgrades – twothirds of it coming from senior governments – for new rapid transit lines in Surrey and Vancouver, more frequent SeaBus service and broad improvements in bus service. At that time, Stone cautioned the plan sought too much, too fast from Ottawa and Victoria and also ruled out the mayors’ preferred funding source: sharing of the existing carbon tax. Although mayors support a longer-range pursuit of road pricing – which could involve regional bridge tolling or per kilometre road use fees – that won’t be among the proposed short term sources as it’s far from being clearly defined and explained to voters. Asked if that leaves the mayors to seek either a regional sales tax, an annual vehicle levy, or both, Walton said he saw “no fault in that logic” but added the deliberations are “still very much in flux.” He admits there will be little time to inform voters before the referendum. Instead of a one-day vote, Walton anticipates a mail-in ballot, perhaps even allowing online voting, that could begin in March, but run through the spring, with a final voting deadline that could be as late as June.

Hundreds of caring people went into the neighbourhoods of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows on Saturday and picked up 9,149 pounds of donations for the Friends in Need Food Bank. The effort was part of the B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive Province-wide, the drive collected 409,624 pounds of food for 49 food banks with an estimated value of $700,000. “This food drive comes at a time of year when are inventory for hampers is depleted and with the donations we received, we will be able to make it to the Christmas season when donations are at its highest,” said Friends in Need executive director Mary Robson. “This is just what our local food bank needs. This food drive provides an easy way for our residents to donate and help feed hungry people in our community,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin. In Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, more than 180 volunteers provided 550 hours of service, visiting some 8,500 homes to collect donations.

Welfare from front

A UBC study in the International Journal of Drug Policy found that people using the Insite safe injection site in Vancouver were twice as likely to overdose on and around Welfare Wednesday, when they received their cheques. But everyone’s different, Polegato said. Some people could use smaller, more-frequent cheques, more responsibility for life’s necessities. But others could just use the smaller cheques to buy smaller amounts of drugs. “Everybody’s different. It’s different for everybody. It’s great they’re looking into it.” Alouette Addictions had no data or anecdotal information showing that there’s an increase in the number of overdoses in Maple Ridge on the last Wednesday of each month, when people receive their income assistance cheques. Actually, that can mean a quieter time at the addictions centre on Lougheed Highway because people aren’t seeking treatment. The addictions centre is across from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation office, where cheques are handed out. According to the ministry, about 80 per cent of recipients have their funds directly deposited into bank accounts, reducing the risk of cash being used to buy drugs. A total of 3,102 peo-

ple receive income or disability assistance in Maple Ridge. Ridge Meadows RCMP’s street enforcement unit also says there’s no connection between welfare day and overdoses. And Ridge Meadows Hospital doesn’t see any change in the number of overdoses coming into the emergency department on Welfare Wednesdays, said Fraser Health spokesman Tasleem Juma. “Anecdotally, we have not seen anything unusual.” She said first responders such as fire or police may see an increase on those days, but not the hospital because not every overdose results in a trip to the emergency. But Coun. Bob Masse, who’s on Maple Ridge’s social planning advisory committee and who has been pushing for treatment centres for the mentally ill, said dividing up payments is something worth trying. “It certainly makes sense.” He’s heard before that many people get into trouble when income assistance payments are made. “We know that, regionally, we know that to be true, that [when] people get their money that a lot of binging, whether it be alcohol or drugs, is associated with that. “If you spread it out over two payments in the month … is it going to make that better or not? It would certainly

be worth trying.” It’s been well recognized for a long time that there’s a spike in behaviour problems and overdoses during that time, when cheques are issued. “It’s certainly something that I’ve heard,” Masse said. The monthly rate for a single person living alone is $610, including shelter allowance. Masse has been pushing for opening some beds at the former Riverview hospital in Coquitlam and said a new 40-bed, long-term mental health facility run by Coast Mental Health in November.

“It certainly makes sense.” Coun. Bob Masse, Maple Ridge

Booze still is the No. 1 drug issue in Maple Ridge, said Polegato. However, risky use of prescription drugs is a trend among teens. “We’re seeing lots of prescription medication, abuse of prescription medication.” Another current trend among youth are “bowl parties,” where

kids steal pills from home and throw them all into a bowl at a party. “It’s a real big problem.” “You don’t even know if they’re taking antidepressants from home or prescription painkillers or sleeping pills or mental health medication or aspirin. You have no idea what’s going into the bowl. It’s not detectable, no cost and not illegal. “Very, very dangerous.” Polegato also warned about marijuana, saying it’s a “major gateway drug.” “There’s always a portion of the population that will try marijuana once and never try it again.” For others, marijuana will open the door “to a path not well-travelled.” Marijuana is addictive, she added, saying research shows people who smoke pot regularly can move on to other drugs, lose their motivation and focus and gain weight. “We encourage people to stay sober and not try drugs.” The ministry also occasionally provides smaller payments throughout the month for those who can’t manage their own funds.

I decided to pack up and try somewhere else. I climbed back into my truck and proceeded down the road. The conditions were very dusty and the narrow logging road was covered in a heavy coating of dust. A short way up the road I felt a sneeze coming on. I pulled over and proceeded to sneeze. The vehicle windows were down and it was loud enough to echo

He smiled, wished me good luck and warned me to be careful as there has been bears in the area including a grizzly. I smiled and said thanks. Two minutes after he left, I was looking over my shoulder every 30 seconds.

Watch for bears while four-wheeling. through the dust covered tall grass to the left of me. To my surprise, a black bear stood up in the tall grass. He must have been six feel, tall judging from the height of my truck. The massive bear strained to see through the dust and make out where the noise came from, lifting his noise in an attempt to pick up my scent. I watched him for about a minute, although it seemed like an hour had past. As quickly as he popped up, he was down again and out of sight. I wanted to make sure he was gone before I moved on, so I gave a toot on my horn. Up goes the massive bear again looking around. He was a lot closer this time, so I laid into the horn and revved up my engine. At first he continued to stand tall, but soon realized it wasn’t worth the effort to continue. He darted off and I watched him head back towards the river. I continued on the road for another 10 minutes and

around a tight corner, still thinking about the bear when all of a sudden I see a big patch of black sprinting in front of my truck. I eased up on the throttle and watched another bear running down the road. He was quite scared, so I gave him lots of room. He jumped off the road and down a steep hill, taking out several small trees on the way down. I felt a little sorry for him having to do that. I couldn’t see him anymore, but I was sure he was OK. The idea of fishing was suddenly less appealing. After all, two bears in one day was enough. I usually do not see any. The two-hour drive back produced another four bears in different positions along the road. The moral of this story four-wheeling is fun, but be careful out there, especially in bear country, which is virtually everywhere in B.C. ian.harwood@

olkswagen has had an impressive ride during the past few years, gaining market share and selling record numbers of cars – its best-selling car being the Jetta. When the last VW Jetta was introduced in 2011, it represented a major shift in the company’s sales philosophy. The decision was to make a larger sedan, yet drop the price to compete right in the heart of Canada’s compact segment, our largest sales category. With a starting price under $15,000, the Jetta is the biggest car in the compact class, offering a gateway into owning a German car, yet having the space and comfort North Americans expect. For 2015, VW continues with the same philosophy, but ups the ante to include new engines, styling and interior amenities. • Looks: It would be easy to overlook the substantial updates to this new Jetta because the exterior tweaks are so subtle they need pointing out. The front grille, bumper and headlamps have all been replaced to include a bigger air opening and LED marker lights, plus xenon headlights are available. The back also receives a minor update that includes a new bumper, trunk and tail lamps. With a starting price of $14,990, the Trendline comes with hubcaps on 15-inch wheels. The mid-level $20,090 Comfortline can be equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels and the $25,490 Highline is fitted with 17-inch alloys. Then there are the TDI diesel versions, which range from $22,490 to $27,790. Volkswagen has a wide range of prices, equipment and engine choices to suit. The most popular is the Trendline Plus at $17,190. It includes the must-have heated front seats! • Inside: What isn’t obvious on first inspection is just how far the Jetta interior has come unless you know the previous model. It was a practical car but hardly luxurious or even sporty – spartan might be a good word. That has all changed with the new 2015 model thanks to new switches and dials that looks and feel first rate. The upper dash on all but the base Trendline is now fitted with soft-touch materials and the base model even comes with a 6.5-inch touchscreen that also doubles as

Never too late to go topless B

uy now and park it until next spring. With cooler weather ahead, fall can be an opportune time to snag a great deal on that dream-ride convertible you’ve always wanted to own, like the soft-top edition of Chevrolet Camaro. Chevrolet introduced an all-new Camaro Coupe for the 2010 model year and the Camaro Convertible followed a year later. While it shares many similar styling details, this modern day rebirth of Camaro is longer and wider than the celebrated original ‘67, of the “muscle car” era. Big wheels (18-inch to massive 21-inch rim sizes) are an important design feature of new Camaro and it’s a little taller. The 2011 Camaro Convertible was offered in just LT and SS trim levels. The LT comes with a lightweight and powerful “LFX” 3.6-litre V6 engine. It can generate 323 horsepower and is mated to either a sixspeed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. Revised and more realistic new fuel economy (auto) ratings are 12.9 L/100km in city and 8.1 L/100km on highway. A potent 6.2-litre V8 engine (from the Corvette) lies under the hood of Camaro SS. When paired with a sixspeed manual, it’s tuned to pump out 425 horsepower. A 400-horsepower edition of this same engine (with more low-speed torque and a fuel saving cylinder deactivation system) is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The revised fuel rating for Camaro SS (auto) is 14.9 L/100km in city and 9.5 L/100km on highway. There is a key engineering difference between Chevrolet’s Camaro and, its nemesis, the Ford Mustang. While both vehicles send gobs of engine power to the rear wheels, Mustang has a rigid rear axle and Camaro has a more sophisticated independent link system with half-shafts and coil springs attached to an isolated sub-

Price check 2011-2014 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible (September 2014): Year/edition/pay: 2011, LT, $22,000-$26,000 2012, LT, $25,000-$29,000 2013, LT, $28,000-$33,000 2014, LT, $33,000-$38,000 • Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase. Safety Recalls, 2011 to 2014 Chevrolet Camaro: • 2010-2014: There is a risk that some drivers may bump the ignition key with their knee and unintentionally move the key from out of the “run” position. Engine power, power braking and power steering would be affected, if this were to occur. Dealers will remove the key blade from the original flip key/transmitter assemblies and provide two new keys and key rings for every original key. • 2011/2012: In vehicles equipped with power height adjustable front seats, a bolt securing the adjuster mechanism may loosen and could fall out, causing the seat to suddenly drop. Dealers will replace the bolt. • 2012: The primary or sec-

ondary stage of the driver’s airbag may not deploy during a crash. Dealers will replace the steering wheel airbag coil. • 2013: The airbag warning labels may not be permanently affixed to sun visors. Owners sent instructions on how to inspect labels, or may have the inspection performed at a dealer. PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until September 30, 2014. See toyota.ca for complete details on all cash back offers.

frame. In theory, Camaro should be a better riding and handling sports car, but that debate rolls on. A limited edition high-performance Camaro ZL1 arrived in 2012. It came with a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine that can produce an outrageous 580 horsepower – and it has obvious collector car potential. A special 45th Anniversary Package was also offered that year. Other than some packing revisions and new colour choices, there were no significant changes to the 2013 or the 2014 model year editions of Camaro. While it may be hard to find practical reasons to buy a sports car like Camaro, it did make it on the Consumer Reports list of “recommended” good, reliable cars to buy. The Camaro convertible is also even less practical and more expensive than the coupe. Then again, it’s a hoot to drive, especially with the top down.

Boffo Developments set to launch Adagio’s second building By Kerry Vital

With sophistication and stunning details, Boffo Developments’ Adagio hits a high note. Now, Boffo will celebrate the public opening of the second building on Saturday Sept. 27. With a variety of large floorplans and amazing features, there are plenty of things that set the project apart, including a community courtyard with trees, paths and garden plots.

The one and den, two- and three-bedroom homes are spacious and inviting, with nine-foot ceilings (12 feet on the top floor), expansive windows and large terraces and patios. Boffo is known for high-quality work, but the kitchen is particularly spectacular. The natural granite or quartz slab countertops are matched with a complementary backsplash, the under-cabinet and recessed lighting easily illuminates your tasks, and the stainless-steel KitchenAid Architect Series II appliances and 40-inch upper cabinets are perfectly situated.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Large kitchen islands feature a wine chiller and tons of space for food preparation or casual dining. The bathrooms are luxurious and soothing, with either an oversize shower with frameless glass enclosure or an oversize soaker tub/shower combination. The bathrooms include builtin niches and a radiant heated porcelain floor to make you feel like you’re entering a spa, a feeling magnified by the custom suspended under-lit vanities and stone countertops. On-site, homeowners will find a lounge with chef ’s catering kitchen, double-sided fireplace, televisions and pool tables. There is also a fully equipped fitness centre with a steam room. Residents will find everything they can imagine on their front doorstep. From dining to shopping at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Morgan Crossing or Grandview Corners, nothing is out of reach. Leisure and recreation is also close by at parks, pools, arenas and clubs, as well as White Rock beach. For more information, visit AdagioByBoffo.ca, call 604531-6659 or stop by the presentation centre at 101-15360 20th Avenue, South Surrey, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

Morningstar Homes will celebrate the grand opening of Robertson Heights in Maple Ridge this week. With six different floorplans to explore and the amazing features that Morningstar is known for, the community is expected to be a resounding success.

The street of dreams at Morningstar’s Robertson Heights By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes has had great success with their first Maple Ridge project, The Summit at Grant Hill. Now, they’re branching out with Robertson Heights, which is already garnering a lot of interest in the community. “We are very excited to open this new project,” says Deborah Calahan, vicepresident of sales and marketing for

Morningstar. “It’s a phenomenal value. It’s been a long time since we’ve had product in this price range.” Morningstar will hold its grand opening of Robertson Heights on Sept. 27, starting at noon. Six different show homes have been built, showcasing the six different floorplans available. “This is truly the street of dreams!” Calahan says.

The single-family homes, ranging from 2,625 to 3,072 square feet, will include many of Morningstar’s most popular features. Among them are showcase kitchens with extra-large granite islands, vaulted ceilings and window seats wherever possible and lots of windows making the homes feel big and bright. “Each home looks and feels different,” says Calahan. “There’s something for everyone here.” Morningstar is pleased to offer homeowners a variety of options, including glass stair railings and finished basements. Other choices available are Jack-and-Jill bathrooms as well as one home plan offering either four bedrooms or three bedrooms with

a sitting room in the master suite! Three of the home types include a detached garage, while the other three feature an attached garage. The neighbourhood itself will include a playground and walking trails. “It’s very conducive to raising a family,” says Calahan. “You can have play dates, picnics and all that fun stuff that really ‘makes’ a neighbourhood a home!” Calahan also points out that due to the elevation of the community the homes at Robertson Heights have some beautiful views. Robertson Heights is expected to be extremely popular, and Calahan urges interested buyers to pre-register before Sept. 27. Pre-registrants will get an early sneak peek at the homes before the official grand opening at noon. “Homes will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis,” says Calahan. “We’ve already seen huge interest.” Homes at Robertson Heights will start at $439,900 including GST. For more information and to pre-register, visit www. mstarhomes.com. The sales office is located at 10455 Robertson Street, Maple Ridge.

New grasses for autumn planters By Mike Lascelle

utumn means different things to different people. To some, it is the beginning of the dreaded spider season, when hopeful (or sinister, depending on your arachnid sympathies) cobwebs are strewn everywhere in the garden. Others, like me, look forward to the cooler weather, which brings many good things like the harvest from our vegetable gardens, the fiery fall foliage colours and a foreseeable end to cutting the lawn. Another seasonal task is transitioning our containers from summer bedding and frosttender plants to those that provide winter colour and tolerate the colder weather. Ornamental grasses have been a staple of this transition with Carex ‘Evergold’, Black Mondo Grass (Ophiopogon ‘Nigrescens’), Carex buchananii and the pumpkin orange foliage of Carex testacea being just a few favoured choices. Ornamental grass breeders have taken notice and are busy pumping out a plethora of new cultivars in order to provide a little more variety. Prominent among these is FitzGerald Nurseries of Ireland. Its spectacular Evercolour Series of Carex oshimensis cultivars are just taking centre stage now. Ironically this series began with a birthday gift of 200 nine-centimetre Carex ‘Evergold’ given to Pat FitzGerald by his then girlfriend, now wife (proving that food isn’t the only way into a man’s heart). It eventually became a regular crop for the nursery, until Pat started paying close attention to the beautiful sports or foliage mutations. That attention to detail has resulted in the eye-catching Evercolour Series, which includes ‘Everest’ (pure white variegation’), ‘Everlime’ (lime green variegation), ‘Everillo’ (lime green to gold foliage), ‘Everoro’ (a much-improved ‘Evergold’) and ‘Everdi’ (pure green). All are reliably hardy in coastal British Columbia and have an arching growth habit that looks quite elegant in container plantings. Although not necessarily new, Liriope muscari ‘Monroe White’ can be a rare find, even though its evergreen foliage and large pure

white late summer to fall flowers fit right into the autumn transition. Other notable Lily Turfs with contrasting variegated foliage include ‘Silver Dragon’ (white variegation, pale lavender flowers), ‘Variegata’ (cream margins, violet-blue flowers) and ‘Silvery Sunproof ’ (yellow to cream margins, lilac flowers). The silver highlights of Blue Fescue Grass (Festuca glauca) are often overlooked for fall planters because the color is difficult to pair with the typical autumn hues of orange, red and yellows. That said, there is nothing stopping you from going in a completely different direction, such as pairing it with a bright rose-pink

Bud Bloomer heather (Calluna vulgaris) and Sedum ‘Angelina’ for a little pop – sure, these are not exactly your typical autumn tones, but the colour will last you right up to Christmas, unlike those asters, fall chrysanthemums and bright orange Chinese Lanterns (Physalis), which are faded and looking a bit tatty in a matter of weeks. The other benefit of Blue Fescue Grass (including the newer introduction ‘Blue Glow’) is that they are often available in ninecentimetre pots, making them ideal for smaller containers. Just to show you how hypocritical I can be at times, I am going to make my last suggestion an herbaceous (but hardy) grass that won’t last

for months but is in such spectacular autumn form that it deserves a place by your front door. Panicum virgatum ‘Little Red Gem’ is a compact switch grass that shifts from bluish green to a rich burgundy-red in the fall. It tops this off with tiny wine-coloured flowers that sit just above the foliage, making it the perfect container centrepiece. Mike Lascelle is a local nursery manager and gardening author.

Calculation compared high-efficiency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric resistance heating (baseboards) and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of July 2014 ($11.054/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identified (Tier 1 and 2: $0.079 and $0.118 per kWh).

Making of a friendly match By M ichae l Hall sports@mapleridgenews.com

soccer game in Pitt Meadows last weekend was special for several reasons.

It was so because without sponsorship from the West Coast Auto Group Football Club, the game would never have taken place. It was so because it was just the Maple Ridge Special Olympics soccer team’s second game of the year, and the players got their own uniforms. And it was more so because the players on both sides exhibited the spirit of what WCAGFC president Dan Mikolay says the game is all about – smiling, laughing, working hard. “Yes, that is what soccer is supposed to be.” Last Saturday, the local soccer club sponsored a game, for the first time, between the Maple Ridge Special Olympics team and its Mission counterpart, to help the latter prepare for the world championships next year in Los Angeles. The Mission team is really good, Mikolay said. “It was a great way for them to get some extra training.” No one kept score. Mikolay ran the flags. One player asked his mother, across the field on the sidelines, why he should chase the ball? Because it’s part of the game, she replied. So he chased it. The Maple Ridge team didn’t have a goalie, so a Mission player filled in. Parents cheered. “It was mainly about fun,” Mikolay added.

TS KE N’T! C I T O T W AS L

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

(Above) Nathan Baerg of the WCAGFC, battles for the ball with Tom Hannah of Mission SC during a friendly match between the two Special Olympics teams on Saturday at the Pitt Meadows Athletic fields; (below) Justin King checks Jessie Barber. To volunteer with Special Olympics, contact volunteer.specialo@gmail.com. “It went really well.” But there are few opportunities for Special Olympics teams to play one another, mostly because of costs. The Maple Ridge group, for example, has to pay for field time. It needs supplies to line the field. It doesn’t have any soccer posts, or flags. Just cones. It didn’t have uniforms before the WCAGFC donated some. It’s difficult enough to find enough volunteers to help on the field to keep a Special Olympics game going. Some players have challenges, such as mobility, and need one-on-one support, said Preet Dhesi, president of the local

chapter of Special Olympics. So to have sponsorship from the local soccer club, which provided all the equipment and covered the costs – from the field to the referees – meant a lot to the Special Olympics teams involved. Everyone was grateful, said Dhesi. He has coached club soccer before and knows that sometimes not all the players want to be there. But with Special Olympics, all the players do. “The attention they get is great, to have friends and socialize, they are happy to be there.” Special Olympics teams from Maple Ridge, Mission, Langley and Surrey usually play each other in a tournament once a year. Other than that, the Maple Ridge group practices and scrimmages at Alexander Robinson elementary once a week from March to July. The group is open to players eight and older. The eldest current member is 55. Special Olympics needs a volunteer-to-player ratio of at least 5:1 just to play. Last year, a Grade 12 player from Pitt Meadows, Brie Millie – last year’s Lynn Papp award winner – volunteered with Special Olympics, helping the players go through drills to improve their skills. Mikolay is looking for more such players within the club, of high school age, to continue on and help the Special Olympics group, to develop skill and foster relationships – keep the fun going. The soccer club also plans to continue its sponsorship of Special Olympics, providing equipment and field time so the group can play more games, and practice more; so it can grow. “That is our goal,” Mikolay said.

‘Cudas score big at golf The Meadow Ridge Female Minor Hockey Association raised more than $20,000 at its second annual tournament, the ’Cudas Golf Classic. The event was held Sept. 14 at Golden Eagle Golf Course and was sold out with 150 participants. It featured numerous games and entertainment along the course, as well as “Sky Helicopters” taking golfers for rocketing rides over the course. Much of the money raised was matched by Scotia Bank and will go towards the purchase of needed equipment, jerseys and development ice time for the association’s teams, known as the Barracudas. • Contact registrar@ barracudashockey.ca for questions about MRFHA registration procedures.

Knights blank Bears The Meadow Ridge Gold Knights downed the Langley Bears 25-0 in atom football action last weekend. Kaiden Exner, Axel Statton, and James Launder provided great blocking. More stellar blocking by Michael Diniz started the second quarter, and Tyler Sanderson had a kick recovery kick that led to a touchdown. Daniel Kalinich was a standout for the Knights. The whole team played well, making it difficult for Langley to score.

OBITUARIES

MURRAY, DORIS PATTERSON (NEE ARMSTRONG)

FEBRUARY 21, 1913 – SEPTEMBER 19, 2014 Doris passed away peacefully after a brief stay at the McKenney Creek Hospice in Maple Ridge. She was 101 years young. Doris is predeceased by her parents William and Bessie (nee Patterson) Armstrong; her beloved husband J. Ross Murray; and her three brothers and sisters-in-law, Bob and Jean Armstrong, Ken (Mike) and Evelyn Armstrong, and Bill and Ethel Armstrong. She is survived by her daughter Patricia Murray; her daughter Lynne and son-in-law Boyd Shanks; grandsons David Shanks (Miriam) and Michael Shanks (Lexa); granddaughter Jessica Wooldridge (Craig); great-grandchildren William, Tristan, Tatiana, Mia, Sam, and Alexander; niece Verna Ranger (Eric); and nephews, Vernon Armstrong (Joan), Bill Armstrong (Patti), Tom Murray (Janet), and K. Ross Murray (Betty). Two years after Doris was born in Edmonton, the Armstrong family moved to Port Mann and then New Westminster. Her father, who was born in Scotland, was a Locomotive Superintendent at the CNR Port Mann shops which employed 400 men. Her mother, a very talented homemaker, was born and raised in Brantford, Ontario. After completing her study at business school, Doris enjoyed a 16year career as a legal secretary for New Westminster lawyers. She was an avid golfer, singer, bowler, member of the New Westminster Business and Professional Women’s Club, Eastern Star, and Sunday School teacher at Saint Aidan’s Presbyterian Church. After marrying RCAF officer Ross Murray (DFC), Doris lived on air force bases in Canada and France. After Ross’ retirement from the RCAF in 1960, the family moved to B.C. from Ontario, settling in Burnaby before Ross and Doris moved to Maple Ridge in 1970. Between her mid-70s and early 90s, Doris travelled to the Caribbean, Hong Kong, Hawaii and Alaska, and to many places in Europe. Doris will be missed for her positive outlook on life, her sense of humour, her love of singing, and her loving care and concern for her family. The family wishes to thank at-home-caregivers Demmy, Megan and Trixia; Dr. Shiraz Mawani; and the McKenney Creek Hospice staff for taking such wonderful care of Doris. Please join family and friends on Saturday, September 27th at 1:00 p.m. for a celebration of Doris’ life at Garden Hill Funeral Home: 11765 224th Street, Maple Ridge, B.C. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Doris’ name to the medical research of your choice. Expressions of sympathy can be made at www.gardenhill.ca
