Election debate turns to sprawl Is the cost of growing too much to bear? By Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

o you want your property taxes to keep rising, yearly, four to five to six per cent, the way they have the last

decade? All Maple Ridge has to do is keep growing the way it’s been growing, says Craig Speirs. “I think it’s time to say, ‘That’s enough.’ We have to move forward in a more efficient way. That will create need for less taxes.” Speirs is seeking election to Maple Ridge council Nov. 15 and is crusading against sprawl. There’s a link between constantly rising taxes and suburban expansion, he says. Speirs wants a review of both the Albion and Silver Valley area plans, as well as the official community plan, which calls for expansion to Thornhill when Maple Ridge’s population hits 100,000. Maple Ridge just completed a review of the Silver Valley plan’s projections. “What it does, is pile on taxes to the urban dwellers. The people who are living in the already-serviced areas start subsidizing this type of suburban sprawl.” Speirs said council has to start listening to senior staff at city hall. Earlier this year, finance general manager Paul Gill said taxes raised from suburbs don’t pay for all the services they consume over the years. Developers install the roads, sewers and sidewalks, then once a subdivision is built, turn it over to the city to maintain for decades. As well, development charges don’t pay for the costs of building a fire hall or library to serve the new area. Instead, those costs are spread across the city’s tax base. Other cities are also realizing the cost of suburban development. Kristina Brown, a Vancouver realtor who lives in Silver Valley, is also campaigning against that type of growth and says Maple Ridge should densify its western areas first. “If our city continues to simply build houses farther and farther to the east and north, with no consideration paid to services and amenities, we are going to be left with higher taxes, a traffic nightmare, no amenities and more unhappy residents,” she says on her website. Speirs, who lives on a half-acre lot in Maple Ridge, says the current council has approved about 200 one-acre lots in the past three years within its rural, forested areas. He calls that another type of sprawl and says the minimum lot size in the rural area should be five acres so that there are fewer people in the far-flung areas, resulting in less demand for services. That would put less pressure on services and protect the

Development charges don’t pay for the costs of building a fire hall or library to serve the new area, such as Silver Valley, in the northern part of Maple Ridge and where residents are unhappy with the lack of amenities. existing forest. He disagrees with a recent decision by council to reject a staff report that recommended a simple denial of a plan to build more than 100 modular homes, outside the urban boundary, near the South Alouette River at 240th Street. Only Mayor Ernie Daykin and Coun. Cheryl Ashlie supported the staff who said the whole proposal should be rejected. Most on council voted to ask staff to find a way to rework the development and get more information. “I don’t understand why they gave it a lifeline. Just makes no sense to me,” Speirs said. Mayoralty challenger Nicole Read, who also lives in Silver Valley, opposes the modular home project. “The community firmly said no and staff encouraged that it be denied, so why did they move it forward?” There are no sidewalks and no bus service and it’s a half-hour walk to the nearest store, she added. Maple Ridge should make it easier to build new projects in the west part of the city, she added, increasing population density, to take the pressure off the east. Many cities have suburbs, but for some reason in Maple Ridge, people have to wait decades for services such as sidewalks, said Read. “Where did they think the money was going to come from to complete the services

that we actually need?” Daykin said Maple Ridge is controlling sprawl because it’s not building suburbs in Whonnock or Webster’s’ Corners. “We have a clearly defined urban boundary.” But he supports the official plan, which calls for new suburbs in Thornhill, east of 248th Street, once Maple Ridge hits a population of 100,000. “At least that’s contiguous to Albion. It’s not like we’re leapfrogging an area to get there.” He disagrees with Speirs’ contention that all tax increases result from the costs of servicing new suburbs. This year’s general municipal tax increase is only 2.2 per cent. And if new homes and condos are built in the established areas of Maple Ridge, known as infill development, where there are already sidewalks and sewers, people still would demand services, he added. Council has supported several infill developments in west Maple Ridge, Daykin added. He doesn’t see the increasing number of one-acre lots in Maple Ridge’s forested areas as an issue. The topic wasn’t top of mind when the official community plan was rewritten in 2006. Daykin said he wants to keep the urban boundary intact and follow the OCP and Metro Vancouver 2040: Shaping our Future plan, which calls for a Maple Ridge population of 130,000 by that date. Mayoralty challenger Graham Mowatt

says Maple Ridge should stick to its official community plan and not offer density bonusing in the Albion area, which means putting more homes and people into an area where there are still service shortages. Instead, growth and density should be funneled to the downtown, he said, as already prescribed in the plan. And Mowatt wants the city to speed up processing times for building and development permits. To help pay for services, he suggests Maple Ridge raise development fees, which are now below the Metro Vancouver average. Mowatt also opposes reviewing the application to build modular homes along the Alouette River, calling it “sprawl.” Coun. Mike Morden, also challenging Daykin for mayor, pointed out the modular home proposal lies within Metro Vancouver’s urban boundary. “To me, that was a grey zone.” He added, he didn’t say he was supporting the project yet, noting there is no transit. As for the costs of suburban growth, building at the same time in Albion and Silver Valley stretched out infrastructure costs and made it expensive. “If you are responsibly growing as a community and you do it an area at a time and have the proper plan, I think it all works because you’re doing it with a combination of development and municipal sponsorship and you’ve got community buy-in because you’ve agreed to go there.”

Voters favour change: poll Cities are not dealing well with homeless B y Nei l Corbe tt ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows residents are the most dissatisfied with their local governments in the region, according to a new poll by Insights West. Residents were asked to rate their municipal government on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being excellent and one the worst score. Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows respondents gave their governments the lowest score in the region, at 5.5 out of 10. The average rating was 6.3, and the highest were Tri-Cities and Burnaby, both at 6.8. Most Lower Mainland voters want the Nov. 15 civic elections to result in at least some change at their city hall. Thirty one per cent of those surveyed in the region said it’s time for a significant change on council, and the appetite for change was strongest in Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows at 53 per cent. Vancouver was a distant second at 36 per cent, followed by Surrey and Richmond, both at 34 per cent. The No. 1 issue for people in Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows was listed as economic development, with 31 per cent of people ranking it the top priority. That was followed by transportation (21 per cent), crime (11), poverty (10), education (seven), health care (five) and housing (four). Not sure got 16 per cent. “Transportation is a key area of concern in 11 municipalities, but not in Vancouver and Surrey, where housing and crime definitely dominate the agenda,” Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said. The poll also asked people whether their municipal government had done a good job of dealing with issues. Respondents chose between very good job, good job, bad job, very bad job, or not sure. Respondents in Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows gave low marks on several issues. Combining both “bad job” and “very bad job,” local people expressed dissatisfaction with:

• dealing with homelessness and poverty, 72 per cent; • dealing with transportation, 61 per cent; • managing development and growth, 61 per cent; • dealing with crime, 57 per cent. One the homelessness and poverty issue, Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows had 32 per cent of respondents say “very bad job.” That tied with Abbotsford, which last year dumped manure on a homeless campsite. The areas for highest marks in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, combining both “good job” and “very good job,” were: • managing parks and recreation facilities, 78 per cent; • fostering artistic and cultural activities, 77 per cent; • protecting the environment, 64 per cent; • providing good sanitation services, 62 per cent. For the Metro region, the survey found 50 per cent of respondents believe their municipality does a bad job of handling

transportation, as well as homelessness and poverty, while most gave their municipality good marks on protecting the environment and providing good sanitation services. Faced with the statement, “I wish better people chose to seek public office in my municipality,” 30 per cent of respondents in Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows said they “strongly agree” and another 49 per cent said “moderately agree.” The average for Metro Vancouver was 25 per cent and 39 per cent, respectively. There was also stronger local agreement with the statement, “I am disappointed with the people who currently run my municipalities government.” Combined, 71 per cent in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows agreed that developers and lobbyists have too much influence in their municipalities. The response across Metro was 68 per cent. Although the statistics are reliable when both communities are taken

together, the poll cannot accurately separate Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge results, according to Canseco. However, he added that the statistics were “fairly similar” for both communities. Most mayors running for re-election can take solace in generally strong approval ratings from the online survey of 2,138 residents. Outgoing Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts scored best, with a 74 per cent approval rating, while 69 per cent of Tri-Cities residents generally approve of their mayors, followed by 67 per cent for Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan. New Westminster, Delta and White Rock mayors also had 67 per cent approval and Abbotsford for Mayor Bruce Banman had 65 per cent. The worst mayoral ratings were in Maple Ridge/ Pitt Meadows, with 39 per cent approval to 46 per cent disapproval, and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson at 52 per cent approval to 41 per cent disapproval.

Be prepared There are going to be some residents in B.C. who question why local health authorities are allocating so many resources into Ebola response efforts. How can the disease – that’s infecting and killing thousands in western Africa – show up here? It’s a valid question, especially when resources are stretched thin already. While doctors, politicians and others have been quick to suggest that a mass outbreak could conceivably happen here – or even, that one is unavoidable – critics have been less concerned with the few Ebola cases which have sprouted up in the west, responding, somewhat cynically, that no disease can be considered a pandemic if you can still refer to all the victims by name. But better to be safe than sorry, especially as threats have started trickling in, however slowly. There have been confirmed cases in Texas, while several Canadians across the country have been tested for Ebola-like symptoms. A cruise-ship passenger was also quarantined and tested for the disease, but thankfully cleared. We live in a world that is increasingly small, with local residents travelling well beyond our communities for any number of reasons. It’s entirely reasonable to think that someone from here may be in Western Africa or in Texas, or somewhere else where the threat is real. As a result, local authorities have to be prepared for someone with Ebola-like symptoms to walk into a hospital, which is why Surrey Memorial Hospital has been named as the region’s Ebola headquarters, of sorts. Any patient with symptoms of Ebola will be isolated there. There are concerns with that, too, however. The B.C. Nurses Union has raised alarm bells about the health authority’s ability to properly and safely handle a patient who may have Ebola. More specifically, the union is concerned that the new system at SMH puts its nurses at risk. Already, the union claims, at least one case of a suspected Ebola patient has been mishandled. And while Fraser Health’s executive medical director for infection prevention and control insists otherwise – saying anxiety and misunderstanding are to blame for the current concerns – it is up to health authorities and the provincial government to keep safe those in charge of helping others, namely nurses and other hospital employees. – The News

Yearly trek to spawning streams D eciduous trees are yellow, and the mid-October sun is out. “Should be sockeye in the Weaver Creek spawning channel,” my wife says. We’ve made the trip yearly to check spawning streams not on the itinerary of Vancouver Along the Fraser Jack Emberly tour buses that funnel thousands of Chinese to the 26,000 fish regularly squeezed into this 3,000-metre spawning bed. Whonnock Creek – between 272nd and 280th streets on the Lougheed Hwy. – has always supported chum, coho and pink. It’s our first stop. “The Catalogue of Salmon Streams and Spawning Escapements of Mission-Harrison Sub-District (1979),” I say, “shows escapements ranging from 25 to 600 coho (1947 through 1978), 2,200 chum, and 3,500 pink. “Just a few today,” my wife says. “Too early. Wait for the real rains to come.” Downward numbers reflect historic problems for this stream. In 1958, gillnetters at the mouth collected most of the fish. The creek – listed as “threatened” in the DFO’s Wild, Threatened, Endangered, and Lost Streams of the Lower Fraser Valley (1997) – has felt the pressures of urbaniza-

uestion of the week:

tion. The Fraser is smooth near the Stave River at Silverdale. Fishermen park off the highway near 287th Street,at the mouth. Upstream, they line the banks below Ruskin’s Hydro electric dam. A case can be made for a fish ladder. “A number of tributaries to the Stave River above the dam have good potential as salmon spawning streams,” notes the catalogue. Still, numbers of coho, chum and pink below the dam have improved since the creation of spawning channel (1978) on the east side of the river. In the, ’80s I took students here with Jim Taylor, a colleague, for egg takes. Taylor had my Grade 6s pulling up nets full of chum. They gleefully dispatched the fish and mixed eggs and milt in buckets for a private hatchery. Silverdale Creek, just before Mission, is flanked by a new industrial park. In 1955, the catalogue noted, “this stream could accommodate 10 to 20 times as many spawners without overcrowding.” But, in 1959: “Smolts are suffering during summer months because of the increased demand for water from the creek by farmers.” Failure to protect streams like this is inexcusable. In 1947, the catalogue noted 1,500 pink. Two years later, 3,500. But, in 1965, only three. From 1975 to ’78, none. In Mission, I point out the old brick post

office. DFO had the top floor. In 1979, I snared a temporary job with fisheries as a patrol officer. The C.O. – John – looked like a sheriff in a southern U.S. town, like Rod Steiger (In the Heat of the Night), cowboy boots plunked on his desk. He wore a 38 revolver. Did he wonder why a teacher with a masters degree wanted to chase poachers along the Fraser? I said I desperately needed to revisit the real world. As a patrol officer, I learned to respect the men I worked with. Enforcing the Fisheries Act was a thankless job. Counting spawners was a welcome change. At Dewdney, we turn off the highway down Hawkins Pickles Road to Inches Creek. In 1970, DFO improved spawning gravel here to create the first major chum improvement project in B.C. Average egg-to-fry survival skyrocketed to 76 per cent. We sip hot chocolate and count a few early fish. In 1984, 16,000 chum dug redds here just below Inches Creek Hatchery. As we enjoy the sound of water bubbling over rocks, my wife checks her watch. “We’re not going to reach Weaver today.” “That’s okay,” I say. “We’ll finish the trip in a couple of weeks.” Jack Emberly is a retired teacher, local author and environmentalist.

THE NEWS/letters ‘Vigilance is key’ Editor, The News: Coming back to Canada, after shopping in Washington, I was pleasantly surprised when the border patrol asked us if we had been in Africa recently. Vigilance is an important part of our efforts to contain this lethal disease. However, after thinking it over, I realized that the guard could have easily found that information on the pages of the passport as visas are needed to enter the continent. When we are faced with a worrying phenomenon such as the threat of a deadly disease as ebola jumping the continents, strict adherence to comprehensive safety measures must be observed by everyone. We are all responsible. Nita Spittel Maple Ridge

Sensible approach to voting Editor, The News: As I was driving in Maple Ridge, I could not help but notice the plethora of political signage all around town. I think we need a change of direction in Maple Ridge, rather than the tired old rhetoric that many of our politicians continue to espouse. Let’s take at look at what has been done recently. The supposed widening and improving of Lougheed Highway in the downtown

core has only made traffic congestion and parking worse than it was before. The bike lane that was built between 216th and Laity streets is ridiculous and serves no purpose that I can come up with. We have no municipal garbage pickup and are forced to use private companies or go to the dump ourselves. I will not go into the urban development other than to say it is rather confusing

Editor, The News: I am writing to you on this sad day to say, enough is enough. The events of this past week should wake up most Canadians, I hope. We have, probably, thousands of Canadians on ‘terrorist watch lists,’ and what happens? One of them murders a soldier with his car. Then, a soldier is killed in Ottawa. The perpetrator was also killed, but

Ridge Meadows RCMP help de-escalate crisis newsroom@mapleridgenews.com

Ridge Meadows RCMP helped talk a disturbed young man down from atop a bridge on Monday. Police were called to assist Ridge Meadows Hospital on Monday in finding the “suicidal” man. Using cell phone data and witness information, investigators were able to coordinate with Coquitlam RCMP to locate the man at the train overpass in Pitt Meadows, where he was perched a top the metal train bridge. “Our first responders need to be prepared to respond to dynamic and potentially dangerous situations,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop. Through crisis deescalation techniques, officers were able to convince the man to move carefully to a position of safety. “I have no doubt that the quick actions of all involved on Monday night averted a tragedy in Pitt Meadows”, Dunlop said. “The officers involved should be very proud of their response in this situation. They responded in a compassionate and effective manner.”

Look, listen, be seen The City of Pitt Meadows, Ridge Meadows RCMP, ICBC, and Pitt Meadows Fire Department will be taking to the streets to increase pedestrian safety. The safety information group was at the West Coast Express station in Pitt Meadows on Thursday, and will be at Meadow Town Shopping Mall

on Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon. Citizens can receive a reflector and safety information pamphlet, which reminds pedestrians that fall and winter months mean darker and wetter weather conditions. Such conditions reduce visibility and increase pedestrian vulnerability. The same is true for drivers. “Safety, whether walking or driving, needs to be top of mind for all of us and programs like this just remind us to think and focus on what is really important,” Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters said. “We’re asking drivers to do their part to share our roads safely and watch out for pedestrians, especially when turning in intersections,” said Kate Woochuk, Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows ICBC road safety coordinator. “It’s important that pedestrians make eye contact with drivers and wear reflective clothing or gear to make it easier for drivers to see you in fall and winter.”

‘Non-criminal event’ Ridge Meadows RCMP have now identified and spoken to the driver of an SUV accused of shouting out to a young female student near Maple Ridge secondary last week. “Ridge Meadows RCMP want to thank all citizens who helped out,” Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said. “The driver came into the police office and has spoken with investigators. Although it was very disconcerting to the victim at the time, police can reassure all citizens this was a non-criminal event.”

Ottawa attack brings risk of ‘grotesque overreaction’ Bolstered security inevitable, says Simon Fraser University professor ment is reported by the Globe and Mail to have had growing interest in Islam, praying at a Burnaby mosque before becoming unwelcome there, and whose passport had been confiscated as a travel risk. Gordon said he has no doubt the attack was a “classic terrorist act” of revenge in response to Canada’s recent move to participate in the air war against ISIS in Iraq. “It’s a tragedy for the Muslim communities in Canada because people will be extra careful around them,” Gordon said. “It’s going to test the boundaries of our tolerance. Hopefully people will

B y Jeff Nage l Black Press

Expect an inevitable tightening of security at government buildings in the wake of Wednesday’s attack on Parliament Hill and the danger of a “grotesque overreaction” by some Canadians against Muslims. That’s the prediction from SFU criminology professor Rob Gordon, an authority on terrorism, in the wake of the attack Wednesday in Ottawa. The Canadian-born gunman who shot and killed a soldier at the National War Memorial and then died forcing his way into Parlia-

not succumb to base emotions and will continue to treat ethnic and religious minorities in the same way they would want to be treated themselves.” He said the attack does not appear as sophisticated or successful as might have been expected had attackers been trained in the Middle East – a scenario that might have involved multiple synchronized attacks with bombs. Instead, he said, it appears more likely to be an ISIS-inspired attack by a homegrown sympathizer without direction from organizers in Damascus or Baghdad. “It’s to try to deter and to demonstrate they have the power to bring the war to Ottawa – that you can’t

sit thousands of miles away and expect to get away with it.” Gordon said more attacks are probable, adding various softer targets could be vulnerable. Remembrance Day is coming soon and will be a major test of bolstered security. “Major cenotaph gatherings have to be watched very carefully, if not cancelled.” As for Parliament Hill, Gordon said security there was clearly inadequate in light of how close the gunman got to MPs and cabinet ministers, including the prime minister. He said he’s surprised there was no apparent move to bolster security on Parliament Hill – a “very obvious target” – in light of Mon-

day’s attack against soldiers in Quebec by a man RCMP had previously identified as a “radicalized” threat. “That would have signalled to me the need to ramp up security at all potential targets.”

The order came from the commander of the Pacific region with the Department of National Defence. Canadian Forces members in the Ottawa area also have been told not to wear their uniforms off duty following the fatal shooting of reservist Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at the memorial, outside the House of Commons. Johnston’s grandson, Grifyn McErlean, 16, is in the air cadets and is trying to earn is power flying scholarship. “Asking our troops to not wear their uniforms, I almost cried at that,” said Johnston. “How about wear a uniform and carry a firearm. I can’t imagine the Americans or Brits telling their soldiers, ‘Don’t wear a uniform in public.’ “My belief is that Canadians have been sleepy

Randy Kamp was in the Conservative caucus meeting next to the hallway where a fierce gun battle took place. The meeting started about 9:30 a.m. Gunshots rang out about 10 a.m. “It’s been a bit hectic here, unusual, of course. A day you don’t expect,” Kamp said. He and about 150 Conservative MPs and Senators were locked into the room and remained there until about 6 p.m., then were escorted off the hill. “The shooting started in the entrance, which isn’t very far from our room. The door to our room is on the Hall of Honour and if he had known that and taken a left turn, it could have been quite a different situation.” Kamp said: “Basically, the whole caucus was there, including me.” But the timing fortunate because everyone was in the meeting rooms and not in the halls when the shooting broke out. It was difficult to know what was going outside, Kamp said. MPs didn’t learn the details until later. There was monitor in the room, but no TV. “It was eight or nine hours that you don’t want to repeat.” Kamp said he doesn’t think he was ever in fear for his life and was confident in the security forces in the building, noting there were several ex-police and military among the Conservative MPs. “That was comforting to know.”

‘Improve education through consultation’ B y Nei l Corbe tt ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

David Isaac said the conversation about the education system is troubling to people with young families. “I’m worried about the future of the education system,” he said. He said budget cuts can’t be allowed to impact sports teams and arts programs.

Isaac wants to see all of the parties involved engage in a discussion about how to reform the system. “I want to do my best to bring everyone together.” If elected trustee, he also plans to consult educators and others in the system to find solutions to the issues. “The system is not yet broken, but tweaks are needed,” he said.

“They’re doing their best, but I know, if people are willing, we can do better.” Isaac said his strengths are in communication. He also has some personal experience in education “I’m a good communicator, and I can help bring people together and make sure everyone is heard,” he said. He is a proponent of

technology in schools, and said children should be formally educated in how best to use their lap tops and devices. Isaac’s own daughter is not Isaac yet of school age. He has been active in the community, as a

member of the Lions Club, a volunteer with the Ghost Ridge Halloween event, and a volunteer for Countryfest. He has lived in Maple Ridge since graduating from Maple Ridge secondary in 1995 and works as a cashier in Kitsilano.

Community service runs in Raymond family Andrena Raymond running for council B y Nei l Corbe tt ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

Andrena Raymond learned about community service from her father, Harry Foreman, an active volunteer in Pitt Meadows, and that has led to her first foray into local politics. Raymond is one of 10 candidates running for a seat on Pitt Meadows council. She said her family valued community service, and that came from her dad.

“It gave him joy, and I got involved with him at quite a young age,” she said. Her first jobs were selling tickets and participating in other fundraisers on behalf of the Knights of Columbus, and these days the soccer mom is more likely to get involved with her child’s team. There are also local issues that spurred her to enter the political ring. “My inspiration is my dad, but there are some things that I’m not happy with,” she said. She describes the North Lougheed corridor as a key business project for the community that is “ready to go,”

and she wants to see it proceed. “I think they should be trying to encourage business,” she said of the existing council. “They are being too picky.” She said the project will bring a significant business boost to Pitt Meadows, and help shift some of the tax burden off residential ratepayers. Going door-to-door in her campaign, Raymond is learning about residents’ concerns, and the SmartCentres development at Harris Road and Lougheed Highway is a frequent topic. “They don’t understand why

it’s not moving ahead,” she said. On Pitt Meadows doorsteps, Raymond has also been hearing a lot about rising property tax rates. “They’re really upset about looming tax increases,” she said. “They are tired of it.” Raymond works for the City of Port Coquitlam as a gardener – a job she has held for 22 years. She wanted to clarify that although she is a member of CUPE 498, she has not received any financial support from the union for her campaign, which is entirely selffinanced.

Not Ebola at SMH Black Press

A Fraser Health official is denying claims from nurses that another suspect Ebola case was mishandled at Surrey Memorial Hospi-

tal Wednesday, putting staff and patients at risk if the deadly virus had been present. According to nurses, the patient was in contact with many staff and other patients before being isolated for further assessment and ultimately ruled out as an Ebola case. A patient who arrives at a Fraser hospital

with a fever and who recently travelled from West Africa is to be flagged by ER triage staff, immediately taken to an isolation room in the ER and questioned further by staff wearing protective gear. One isn’t considered a “suspect patient” until the secondary questioning and assessment fails to eliminate Ebola.

Ghost Ridge a nightmare By Colleen Fla n ag a n cflanagan@mapleridgenews.com

Weird dreams and nightmares are the theme for Ghost Ridge this year. Titled “If I Should Die Before I Wake,” the haunted house takes visitors on a tour that transitions from an innocent child having a bad dream to adult nightmares. “This year is very heavily creepy,” said creative director Joan Granholm. “Very little boo and a lot more goose bumps,” she continued. Fifty actors from all the local high schools will be adding to the fear factor. Last year more than 2,500

people filed through Ghost Ridge. This year, money raised from the haunted house will benefit the Maple Ridge Bruins Rugby Club, the Inritius Alliance LARP group and Maple Ridge Country Fest. There will be special activity centre for small children put on by the Lions Club, while their older siblings go through the haunted house. Children must be supervised by a parent. There is no age limit for the haunted house, though. “I’ve seen four-year-olds waltz in there with no problem at all and I’ve seen 11-year-olds come out crying,” said Granholm.

“Who’s old enough to go into the barn? Anybody who is brave enough.” Ghost Ridge is located at 23448 – 105th Avenue, Maple Ridge, at the Albion fairgrounds. It is open Friday, Oct. 24 to Thursday, Oct. 30, from 6-9 p.m., rain or shine. Admission is $8 per person. Group rates are available. Family friendly dates, with the lights on, are Sunday, Oct. 26 to Tuesday, Oct. 28, from 5-6 p.m. only. The annual fireworks show is at 7 p.m. on October 30. Parking is free.

Metro Vancouver municipalities vary wildly in how much they spend and tax, according to an analysis released by the Fraser Institute as local election campaigns intensify. The report found West Vancouver, New Westminster and Vancouver are the cities that spent the most per resident in 2012, while Surrey, Maple Ridge and Port Coquitlam spent the least. The disparity ranged from a high of $2,118 per person in West Vancouver to a low of $951 in Surrey. Maple Ridge spends $1,139 a person, while Pitt Meadows spends $1,257. Lead author Charles Lammam said the aim is

to make it easier for voters to compare their city to others as they decide which candidates should represent them for the next four years. “We’re trying to shed light on what is otherwise a black hole when it comes to comparing local government finances,” he said. Lammam acknowledged there are many reasons for the differences – some cities simply decide their residents want different service levels from their neighbours and are willing to pay more for them. “People will vote with their feet,” he said. “They’ll move to jurisdictions that have local governments that align with their preferences.” Delta is one of the municipalities Lammam points to as having much higher levels of spending and taxation than Surrey, despite being right next door.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, who has been acclaimed for another term without challenge, said Delta’s stand-alone police department is a key difference from Surrey that her residents would never give up. Delta has long outspent Surrey on policing, delivering “no call too small” service. “Our people want to have the best emergency services we can provide and we are doing that,” Jackson said, who cautioned against “apples and oranges” comparisons. According to the data compiled by the Fraser Institute, Delta spends $567 per resident each year for protective services – fire and police – while Surrey’s cost per person is $347. The report shows West Vancouver spends twice the Metro average on parks and recreation at $570 per person versus

$284 regionally and just $153 in Surrey. Vancouver spends the most on general government – $270 compared to a Metro average of $176 and $81 in Surrey, while solid waste and utilities spending is highest on the North Shore. The per person spending statistics don’t mean that’s how much each resident is actually taxed for services. Surrey has by far the lowest taxes on a per resident basis ($574 compared to a Metro average of $900.) That’s been enabled in part because Surrey’s revenues have been supercharged by growth, with $1.2 billion flowing from development fees over the 10 years to 2012, a period that saw the city’s population leap by 113,000, absorbing a third of Metro’s growth. Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge and Langley Township have also relied more heavily on development fees, according to the report, which cautioned that can drive housing prices higher and reduce affordability. Other user fees and sales of civic services also add up – New Westminster generates more from those fees, which include pay parking charges, than it does from property tax. The findings flag Burnaby as having the highest reliance on business taxes in the region – 52 per cent of its property tax come from business. Burnaby’s businesses are not the most highly taxed in the region – the city ranks close to the Metro average, although its industrial property tax rate is the second highest after Port Moody. Businesses pay the highest property tax rates in Coquitlam, New Westminster, Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge, and the least in Surrey and Richmond. Residential tax rates are actually highest in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and Langley City – where they are applied against relatively low assessed home values compared with other parts of the region – while rates are lowest in the priciest areas: West Vancouver, Richmond and Vancouver.

VICTORIA – Liquefied natural gas producers are being asked to pay a new tax of 3.5 per cent on their profits for the first 20 years of operation in B.C., after deducting their startup costs. Finance Minister Mike de Jong described the LNG tax system as lower in total taxes and royalties than existing and proposed LNG export facilities in Australia, Alaska, Oregon and other U.S. states that are B.C.’s main competitors. De Jong said Tuesday that B.C. scaled back its plan to charge up to seven per cent in the face of declining gas market conditions, including slower growth in China and its new long-term deal to buy pipeline gas from Russia. Japan is also considering restarting its nuclear power program after the 2011 Fukushima earthquake, and oil prices have declined in recent months. Under the B.C. plan, a single medium-sized LNG plant on the B.C. coast would pay about $800 million a year in to-

Homelessness

IT’S ABOUT COMMUNITY! A Community Response to Homelessness The communities of Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and Katzie have been working towards finding solutions to the issue of homelessness since 1999. The Caring Place, Iron Horse Youth Safe House, AHSS Community Outreach and Alouette Heights Supportive Housing all grew out the hard work of council, the City of Maple Ridge Social Planning Advisory Committee, a Community Network of more than 50 local service providers and community organizations, and a huge swell of support from the whole community. Members of the community who wish to be involved in issues of housing and homelessness and participate in planning future community projects and interventions are invited to join the Housing Planning Table, a Task Group of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows-Katzie Community Network. For more information about joining the Housing Planning Table, contact the chair: Darrell_Pilgrim@can.salvationarmy.org.

Shelter The Caring Place, operated by The Salvation Army, has a 25-bed emergency shelter for men and women year around. 604-463-8296, www.caringplace.ca. Iron Horse Youth Safe House, operated by Alouette Home Start Society, is a shelter for homeless youth between the ages of 13 and 18. 604-466-2665. AHSS also provides support to youth aged 17 to 24 to help them find and maintain housing through its Route 29 program. Visit alouettehomestart.com for more information.

in focus

Community Outreach and Advocacy Community Outreach and Advocacy Workers connect people who are homeless and at risk of homelessness to housing, income assistance and community-based support. The Caring Place has three Community Advocates who work with people who come to the shelter to connect them to the support that they need in the community. 604-463-8296, ext 112, www.caringplace.ca. Alouette Home Start Society has two full time Community Outreach Workers. Anyone needing support or who would like to refer someone needing support can contact AHSS Community Outreach at 604-466-3031, ext 112, outreach@alouettehomestart.com. The Canadian Mental Health Association has two Outreach Workers in Maple Ridge. 604-516-8080, www.simonfraser.cmha.bc.ca. Community Outreach and Advocacy Workers refer their clients to a whole host of local community partners and services. Providing needed support and resources is a truly collaborative undertaking in this community!

Housing The Genesis Program at the Caring Place provides 15 Transitional Housing Beds. Genesis is a residential program for those who want a safe, secure and supportive living environment until they are ready to step out on their own. It helps bridge the gap between staying in a shelter or in treatment facility and independent living. 604-463-8296 ext 122 www.caringplace.ca. Alouette Heights, operated by the Alouette Home Start Society, provides 45 units of supportive housing for low-income tenants who were homeless or at risk of homelessness and who reside or have ties to this community. Tenants need to meet the criteria to qualify for placement on the BC Housing Supportive Housing Registry www.bchousing.org/Options/Supportive_Housing, Alouette Heights has support staff on site 24/7 to

The Alouette Home Start Society is committed the goal of ensuring that the Alouette Heights project is an asset to the community and to listen to the voice of the community. Neighbours and interested individuals who wish to participate on a Community Advisory Committee are invited to contact Stephanie Ediger, Executive Director of AHSS at 604-466-3031, Ext 113, ed@alouettehomestart.com.

Poverty and Food Security Poverty is the leading cause of homelessness. A lack of affordable housing across the region means that people need to spend a large portion of their income on housing. Housing is considered affordable if it costs one-third or less of a person’s gross income. Often, in order to stay housed, people find it difficult to pay for basic necessities like food. The Meal Program at The Caring Place serves over 9,000 meals a month at their facility, the shelter, and sends 175 lunches a day to school children in the community. Many of the people who access the Meal Program are not homeless, but need this kind of support to stay housed. 604-463-8296 ext 123, chef@caringplace.ca The Friends in Need Food Bank provides food to individuals, families and community service providers. 604-466-3663. Golden Ears FEAST (Food Education & Action Strategy Table) is a community collaboration made up of individuals and groups that have a stake in our local food system.

Toyota wanted to make this latest RAV4 more of an emotional purchase and not just a rational choice. The design has been sharpened with more flow from the front bumper and headlamps into a swept windshield and added character lines. Gone is the old swing-out tailgate, replaced by a proper lift gate, which is now framed with protruding tail lamps that look unique, but also help with aerodynamics. One area that could use an update are the cheap looking hubcaps. These come standard on the $24,005 base front wheel drive (FWD) LE trim level and $26,270 AWD model. To get proper looking alloy wheels the buyer needs to spend $28,340 for the XLE FWD or $30,540 for the XLE AWD. In the mid-sized sedan market many cars, like the Honda Accord, costing the same amount as the base RAV4, come with nice looking alloy wheels as standard equipment. • Inside: The interior is a study in how to maximize space for a family but some of the small details could use refinement. The dash face is now covered with soft materials and looks much better thanks to the French stitching but this same panel also obscures the switches hidden below. The seat-heating buttons, the Eco and Sport settings for the transmission are all switches the driver access frequently but they are not as easy to see, as they should be. Other than the dash there is still a large percentage of the interior covered in hard plastic. The up side is a well laid out interior configuration. The doors open to a wide angle and expose a big back seat with a flat floor, for easy access. The front seats

are comfortable and now the driver’s seat has a manual height adjustment. Standard features include tilt and telescopic steering, Bluetooth connectivity, USB connection and air conditioning. The LE $1,500 upgrade package is worthwhile because it includes the very important heated front seats, larger 6.1-inch display audio with backup camera and upgraded speakers. This brings the price up to $27,835. • Drive: The Toyota RAV4 uses the same 176hp 2.5L four-cylinder found in the last model and is matched to a six-speed automatic. Launching from a traffic light is brisk and the noise inside the cabin is fairly low. The steering is easy to maneuver, but some might find the feedback to be too vague. Adjustable engine and transmission settings help the RAV4 to either use less fuel or perform better. The Eco button changes the settings of the car to improve fuel economy plus there is a small Eco light that reminds the driver when the car is being driven most efficiently. The Sport buttons holds the transmission a little longer between shifts for more responsiveness. Fuel economy is rated at 10.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, using the new more stringent 2015 fuel economy test. The RAV4 was a solid leader on the fuel economy front but the new Honda CR-V now claims that crown. • Verdict: Toyota is sticking with what works. This approach might be viewed as a step behind, but others might look at it as tried-and-true technology that is reliable and still delivers solid fuel ratings. zack.spencer@ drivewaybc.ca

Highlander makeover T

he 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is truly a big people mover. There are three models available: the Hybrid LE, XLE, both of which carry up to eight passengers; and the Hybrid Limited, which I drove, maxes out at seven. • Looks: The designers have given the Highlander a makeover for 2015 with a new grille and more sculpted headlights along with a larger rear spoiler. This year, 17-inch alloy wheels are standard with 19-inch alloy wheels available on the Limited and XLE models. • Cab: Standard features on all Highlander models include third-row seating, air conditioning,; front seats with height-adjustable active head rests, and eight-way (10-way on the Limited) adjustable driver’s seat. The list of standard features is long: power door locks and windows with driver’s window jam protection and auto up/ down feature; cruise con-

trol; multi-function keyless entry system; UV reduction windshield and rear privacy glass; illuminated entry system. The Limited model features a panoramic moonroof that brings in lots of natural light to the cabin. The LE model features a standard AM/FM/CD audio system with six-speakers; XLE and Limited models have an AM/FM/six disc in dash CD changer with six speakers, MP3/WMA playback capability and satellite radio capability. All audio systems are equipped with a USB audio input. All models have a backup camera. The lift gate has selectable memory height settings so gone are the days of walking into the edge of the gate without looking. • Safety: The Highlander comes standard with seven airbags. These include advanced driver and front passenger airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags and a driver’s knee airbag. Roll-sensing side curtain airbags help to protect the

occupants of all three rows in the event of side collisions or vehicle rollovers. All Highlander models are now standard equipped with front active headrests. Toyota has also added Smart Stop technology, lane departure alert, blind spot monitor, and rear cross traffic alert. • Roadworthy: The tester has a higher spring rate and a high damping force type shock absorber that delivers a firm but comfortable ride. Cornering is where you really feel the difference. Missing is the typical SUV roll you experience with some other SUVs. There is lots of power and it is very easy to find yourself over the speed limit in

a hurry. I noticed that in Econ mode the heater does not put out as much force, so on a cold day you will have to turn this off to get a full amount of heat. There is lots of room inside for the whole family, especially with the addition of the third row seating. The Hybrid comes with a towing prep package that includes a large radiator, transmission oil cooler, heavy-duty battery and towing wire harness. • Verdict: Good on fuel and perfect for family transportation. • Power: The Hybrid combines a 3.5 litre engine with a high-speed electric motor that produces a peak 280 horsepower.

Celebrating 100 years

Nissan Leaf no golf cart

he Nissan Leaf relies solely on electric power for propulsion and was the first mass production electric vehicle sold in North America. No glorified golf cart here, the Leaf can seat up to five adults and has more than enough power to be driven a highway speeds. When Leaf was released as a 2011 model year, Nissan already had pre-sale orders for its entire first-year production run of 20,000 units. Based on a stretched version of Nissan’s B-platform, Leaf uses a low-slung Lithium-Ion battery pack to store its electrical energy and it’s located near the centre of the vehicle, under the floor. In addition to ample rear cargo space, the battery position also helps make the Leaf more stable and more nimble than other EVs. It’s a unique air cooled flat design of battery pack with four cells and 48 laminated modules. It weighs about 250 kg (600 lbs) and came with an eight-year/160,000 km warranty. An 80kW AC synchronous electric motor drives the Leaf’s front wheels. It can generate 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Leaf has a rated driving range of 160 kilometres on a single charge, but it’s capable of going longer distances if the conditions are right and the driver conserves power. The battery pack can be charged up to 80 per cent of its full capacity within 30 minutes when connected to a dedicated (level 3) DC fast charger. A level two (typical home unit) charger hooked up to a 240V outlet can do a full charge in less than eight hours. The portable (Level 1) charger can be used to top-up power and connects to any (110-volt) electrical outlet. The charger port is hidden behind a small door up front. The ultra quiet Leaf has a speaker near the front of the vehicle that makes a humming sound, at low vehicle speeds, to alert pedestrians to its presence. Like all electric motors, full power is available immediately. The (regenerative) brake

While saving money on fuel is great, most Leaf owners are more concerned about the environment and our dependency on oil.

While saving money on fuel is great, most Leaf owners are more concerned about the environment and our dependency on oil. So far, general reliability appears to be very good and EV maintenance costs are typically lower than a gas engine vehicle. Limited availability on the used car market is not too surprisingly, as most owners are hanging on to their Nissan Leaf. • Price Check, 2011-2013 Nissan Leaf (October 2014): Year-Edition-Price • 2011-SL-$19,000 to $23,000 • 2012-SL-$22,000 to $26,000 • 2013-SL-$25,000 to $29,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history.

By Bob McHugh

pedal feel is a little different and the lack of telescopic steering column may put-off some buyers. The 2012 Nissan Leaf was essentially unchanged. However, the 2013 model year brought a bunch of technology upgrades and a new lower-priced base S trim level. An upgraded 6.6KW onboard charger is capable of reducing Level 2 charge time (with 30-amp service) to under four hours. This Leaf also comes with an improved energy management and regenerative braking systems, a more efficient heater and improved aerodynamics. Although the Leaf has consistently received a ‘Top Safety Pick’ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the 2013 edition got a ‘poor’ rating in a new (and tougher to pass) small overlap frontal crash test. This test is designed to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or a fixed object like a tree or utility pole, at 64 km/hour (40 mph).

GVHBA prepares for annual Coats for Kids campaign The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) is preparing for its 19th-annual Coats for Kids campaign in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, a group whose many initiatives help to provide a brighter Christmas for families in need. “Last year the response to Coats for Kids was heartwarming as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new unwrapped toys and gifts for distribution to children, teenagers and adults,” says GVHBA

CEO Bob de Wit. “Coats for Kids has become an institution of the association. We already have members calling to sign up,” says de Wit. “Our members help to ensure we collect quality, gently used pieces of clothing, with all the buttons buttoning and zippers zipping.” “This year we are putting out a special request for hoodies, making sure that not-so-easy demographic is covered. It is so important to reach out and help families in our communities who are in need, especially during this time of the year.”

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

In addition to the GVHBA office, member companies at locations throughout Lower Mainland municipalities, including several Black Press community papers, will serve as coat drop-off sites from November 24 to December 4. Take the opportunity now to clean out, wash and pack up those items no longer being used. For more information about the Coats for Kids campaign and a list of participating companies and locations, check out your local Black Press community paper or www.gvhba.org starting in November.

Porte Development’s Verve features three buildings and a variety of home types. Among the features are full-size stainless steel appliances and laminate flooring. Residents will have access to multiple amenities, including a fireside lounge with flat-screen TV and games rooms.

Maximum value at The Maxx @ Verve By Kerry Vital

Porte Development’s Verve recently welcomed its newest addition: The Maxx @ Verve. The third and final phase of the popular condominium community includes all of the beautiful finishes from the first and second phases, as well as some new floorplans and amazing amenities. “This is a great opportunity for buyers,” says Jeanette Chaput, director of sales and marketing for Porte. “We’ve had a lot of firsttime buyers interested in Verve. It’s a great value and our price point is fantastic.” The homes at The Maxx range from 540 to 1,300 square feet, in a variety of junior one-bedroom, one-, two- and three-bedroom plans. The nine-foot ceilings (11 feet on the top floor) lend an incredible sense of space to your home, accented by large windows and laminate flooring throughout the main living areas. “Having ceilings this high is a great feature,” says Chaput. The kitchens feature full-size stainlesssteel appliances, polished quartz countertops

and under-cabinet valence lighting. The high-gloss upper cabinetry is complemented by warm wood lowers, and each floorplan includes some unique features such as wine racks, pantries or built-in work stations. “Our kitchens are great,” Chaput says. “People really appreciate the little details like the full-size appliances and our signature wine racks.” Spa-like ensuite bathrooms feature customdesigned vanities with polished quartz countertops, undermount sinks and vanity drawers, complemented by porcelain tile floors. The square-profile deep soaker tub is lit by recessed lighting. Most two-bedroom homes include oversized shower stalls with semi-frameless glass doors. Outside, each building at Verve (Verve, Social @ Verve and The Maxx @ Verve) has its own colour palette that complements the others. A paved stone driveway leads onto the tree-lined interior streets between the buildings, and a pedestrian walkway makes its way to trails and parks. Each home comes with a spacious garden patio or balcony, and there is plenty of space for parking. In fact, all homes come with a parking stall and most two-bedroom homes come with a tandem stall for two cars. On-site amenities for residents include a furnished guest suite, gym, yoga studio, fireside lounge with flatscreen TV, games rooms and outdoor seating. The neighbourhood has been particularly popular with buyers. “Our location is the best,” Chaput says. “We’re just a six-minute walk from King

George SkyTrain station and 13 minutes to Central City mall.” Surrey City Centre is one of the fastestgrowing areas in the Lower Mainland, so homeowners at Verve are also very close to dining, leisure and recreation opportunities as well as the Surrey campus of Simon Fraser University, the new Surrey City Hall and the City Centre library. Elementary and secondary schools are also in the area. “We’ve had several buyers who work at Surrey Memorial Hospital or the RCMP headquarters,” says Chaput. “They can walk

to work!” Porte is once again offering their popular flexible deposit program at The Maxx. “It gives buyers the chance to build their downpayment as we build their home,” Chaput says. “It can be a challenge for firsttime buyers, and this will help.” Homes at The Maxx @ Verve start at $169,900. For more information, visit www. porte.ca/verve, call 604-588-3783 or stop by the presentation centre at 13931 Fraser Highway, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

REAL ESTATE IN MAPLE RIDGE & PITT MEADOWS

Harvest, tidy and decorate

All listings in this publication are advertised by licensed Realtors®.

By Mike Lascelle

ctober can be a confusing month for many of us, and by that I mean, just how do you enjoy the fruits of your labors when there’s still so much to do in the garden? The brilliant leaves are beautiful to behold, but seem to fall faster than we can rake them up. You have more than enough squashes for even a die-hard vegetarian, yet you feel guilty leaving the excess to rot. Even though you’ve decided that that’s the last time you are going to cut the lawn this year, it still just keeps on growing. That person down the street always seems to have time to decorate for Halloween while you’re perpetually up to your eyebrows in weeds. So to help you cope with all this seasonal guilt, I have come up with a simple philosophy that is kind of like Eat, Pray, Love, but for gardeners. I call it Harvest, Tidy, Decorate. • Harvest – We all get a little too ambitious when planting our vegetable gardens in spring, which is why there are so many tomatoes, carrots and squashes at this time of year. My two eldest daughters had bumper crops of tomatoes and decided that the best solution was to can homemade spaghetti sauce. On the other hand, squashes are in such abundance that they have become the Christmas cake of October, meaning nobody really wants them. So I suggest that you start handing them out to people who have been less than kind to you over the year and let them deal with the guilt. That way, those who start receiving an abundance of squash will have an opportunity to reflect on their poor behavior and make amends before next year’s harvest, or else. The other benefit here is that there is never a shortage of discourteous drivers, so keep a few in the car to pass onto those who cut you off or turn without signaling. While we are on the subject of harvesting, I wanted to share with you the yam-sized tuber that was dug-up when an ornamental sweet potato vine was lifted at work. It had to weigh at least three pounds. • Tidy – The first thing I want you to notice

Contributed

(Clockwise) A record-breaking ornamental sweet potato, autumn leaves on the lawn, and a Halloween planter.

COUPON

✃

here is that I said tidy, not clean. Tidy is the proper term for those ‘whisk under the carpet types,’ yet it works perfectly in a garden setting. That littering of leaves on the lawn is hardly noticeable when they’re raked into adjacent beds (where they can cover the weeds). Or if you are feeling like double duty, just cut the lawn and bag them with the clippings. Less than pristine summer flower beds look totally appropriate when a few Halloween decorations are added, giving purpose and a new lease on life to those otherwise blackened Geraniums. As for all those dormant perennials, just tell the neighbors that you are leaving the seedheads to feed the poor birds in the winter to thwart that annual look of reproach.

In essence, tidy is either pushing the obvious mess aside or just repurposing it. • Decorate – Now that you’ve put the guilt of rotting food and pending chores behind you, you are ready to decorate. For me, this season starts as soon as the guy across the street begins erecting his full-size ghost pirate ship. Then my daughters start bugging me to haul out the entire contents of my garage to create the annual graveyard. So to help get you into the mood this year, I’ve posted an easy Halloween planter design at www.mikesgardenguide.wordpress.com.

Selling your home with Dave and John may mean more money in your pocket when all is said and done. For homes selling under $600,000, our commission rate is a flat fee of $6950 (+ GST). (*) For homes selling over $600,000, our commission structure is 1% of the sale price + $950 (+ GST). Though not all commission rates are the same, this usually equates to thousands of dollars in savings compared to rates charged by many of our competitors (often 7% on 1st $100,000 and 2.5% on balance). We firmly believe that we offer the best value proposition available in the local market today. It’s your hard earned equity - keep more of it!
