‘Pitt sends homeless to Maple Ridge’ Homelessness is a provincial issue: Becker By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
As Maple Ridge grapples with its homeless problem, trying to find accommodations for approx i m at e l y 65 people in the Cliff Avenue camp and more throughout the Becker city, neighbour Pitt Meadows deals with a much smaller number of street people. Generally, they are referred to Maple Ridge or Coquitlam. “I hear about it, and I see it,” Pitt Meadows Mayor John Becker said of the homeless issue. “Our numbers are proportionate to our population.” Pitt Meadows has a population of just 18,000, while Maple Ridge has 76,000, according to the 2011 census. Becker points out that Pitt Meadows has no local supports for homeless people, and they are referred to Maple Ridge, where there are more services to assist them, including the Salvation Army Caring Place. “We don’t have the facilities or services that draw the disadvantaged. It’s a different environment,” said Becker. Unlike larger Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows City Hall has no “social planning bureaucracy,” and there are no provincial supports, said Becker. See Services, 9

Eby said it’s now been two months since the camp behind the Salvation Army Caring Place in Maple Ridge reached its present size and pointed out that other tent cities have been removed. “Yet, here there seems to be total inaction.” With the heat, angry bystanders, lack of water and sanitation, “I think from any perspective, there is a tragedy waiting to happen. “We cannot leave this the way it is. The province has to step up and solve this problem.” About 60 people remain at the

camp, despite the city having hired four outreach workers to try to connect people with services. And work goes on to try find people homes, Mayor Nicole Read said at the camp. But it takes time to find landlords and rental units for people even though B.C. Housing is now offering about 50 rental supplements in Maple Ridge. “Right now, it’s a matter of finding those spaces,” she said. “We know there are levers the city can pull to get more housing stock in the city.” See Housing, 13

Record low reservoirs By Je f f Nage l Black Press
The Haney Farmer’s Market Society hopes that relaxing restrictions in the city’s parkade will encourage more people to stay longer at the weekend market in Memorial Peace Park. THE NEWS/files
‘Ease up on downtown parking’ BIA wants to open up underground spots By Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com
Maple Ridge town centre’s underground parkade is mostly empty on weekends so why not open it up for downtown shoppers and customers of the Haney Farmers Market? Give the first two hours free, then charge a $2 flat rate after that on Saturdays and Sundays and everyone will benefit, says the market in a letter to Maple Ridge council. Not only would the farmer’s mar-
ket benefit, but so would downtown businesses, said Sandra Ramsay, board chair of the Haney Farmer’s Market Society. If people didn’t have to worry about parking, they’d hang around and shop more in the core area and be able to relax and spend. “In our opinion, a weekend firsttwo-hours-free, $2 all-day flat rate for the two weekend days, would be a win-win for all concerned.” Currently, parking under the city’s Maple Ridge Business Centre and Arts Centre Theatre buildings costs 75 cents an hour, up to a maximum of $4 a day. The first hour is free. “They have it in Kelowna. They
have it in Victoria, many, many places,” said Ineke Boekhorst, executive-director with the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association, which is also making the request. “It would really help people to just park their car and go to the market, shop around, sit down for a meal and not have to worry.” Cutting the price in half and setting a $2 flat rate for all day could also bring in more money into the parkade, which has 500 stalls. “The parkade is mostly empty on the weekends.” Boekhorst said there are more than 6,000 parking spaces, both pri-
vate and public, in downtown Maple Ridge. But three-quarters of those spaces have time limits. The remainder have no time limits, such as on 222nd and 223rd streets, but often shoppers don’t want to walk that far. Having no parking restrictions would result in employees hogging the stalls. Parking throughout the downtown though is still free, unlike other cities. Council on Monday considered the letter and decided to get more information on the proposal. “We hope that’s going to happen,” said Boekhorst.
New readings show Metro Vancouver’s water reservoirs have dropped well into record low levels for this time of year. The regional district now has 75 per cent of its total drinking water capacity available, as of July 5. “We’re into uncharted territory here,” said Darrell Mussatto, chair of Metro’s utilities committee. “We are using our water more than we did obviously last year and more than we have in the past. We’re at early August levels in early July.” Metro already moved to Stage 2 water restrictions effective last Friday – that reduces lawn sprinkling to just once a week and bans water uses like pressure washing. Hot, dry weather throughout May and June had sharply increased water demand in the region. Mussatto said it’s too early to say if Metro will order tougher water restrictions yet. He said more time is needed to see if the Stage 2 restrictions do enough to reduce water consumption. Further steps in Metro’s Water Shortage Response Plan would ban all lawn sprinkling at Stage 3, and all watering of plants and most other outdoor uses of treated drinking water at Stage 4. Metro’s three small alpine lakes are full and will be used to replenish the main reservoirs from which water is actually drawn. The regional district has also asked B.C. Hydro to allocate more water from Coquitlam Lake for drinking water than normal. Last week, the provincial government called for voluntary water use reductions of 20 per cent or more by all municipal, agricultural and industrial users in the Lower Mainland.
Asbestos dumped at roadside 50 to 75 bags found on Silver Valley Road newsroom@mapleridgenews.com
A hazardous materials crew had to be called in Wednesday to remove between 50 to 75 bags filled with what was suspected to be asbestosladen insulation.
Maple Ridge deputy fire chief Howard Exner said someone called City of Maple Ridge bylaws to complain about the bags tossed at the side of Silver Valley Road in the 14400-block. That was passed on to the fire department who called in a haz-mat company to remove the bags. He didn’t know where the bags came from or what kind of building
the suspected insulation was from. “The product was already double bagged,” so whoever did it, knew what they were doing. As it lay beside the roadway, the insulation posed no public health threat, he added. Haz-mat crews then triple bagged the insulation before hauling it away for safe disposal Wednesday afternoon.

The asbestos was double-bagged and did not pose a public health risk.

New Pitt sign goes up, up Pattison replaces bus shelters, too By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
Motorists will see a massive new sign as they travel eastward crossing the Pitt River Bridge. It was lit up for the first time on Monday. The electronic billboard replaces an older, smaller sign, and is the centrepiece of an advertising agreement between the City of Pitt Meadows and Pattison Outdoor Advertising. The sign is almost 20 meters high and is 32.5 square meters per side. It is almost five meters wider than the sign it replaces. It is higher than power lines and wooden poles, to increase visibility. It also has an auto dimming
feature that will ensure it is not shining too brightly at motorists in the night, and it has a sharper screen, says the city. As part of the deal between the city and Pattison, the company replaced all of the bus shelters in the city, 15 in total, and added a new transit shelter in Osprey Village. The new shelter will be the only one that will not carry advertising signage. The new bus shelters have been installed over the past several months and incorporate the city’s brand and logo, with location names clearly posted. In addition, the city has been provided with a new digital sign on Harris Road at city hall. It will not carry commercial advertising, but will convey

a way to do that and reach a wider audience,” said Kim Grout, the city’s chief administrative officer. “Some residents tell us they don’t see our ads or our newsletter, and some residents don’t have a computer to access our online communication, so we listened to these concerns. These signage opportunities allow us to reach more of those audiences.” Becker said the sign brings revenue to the city, along with the package of improvements for the municipality. But its agreement with Pattison Advertising includes confidentiality around the financial details. Becker noted that the former council already negotiated the deal, and the existing council is dealing with the height variance.

messages from the city and local nonprofit organizations to residents regarding projects, community events and city initiatives. It is still being designed, but city IT and communications director Lorna Jones says it will be a modern version of the existing sign at city hall, with the addition of a full digital screen.

The new rules about selling booze in grocery stores have the existing outlets worried about their future. So Poma Dhaliwal, a pub owner and president of the Alliance of Beverage Licencees, is asking Maple Ridge to set a rule requiring
that there be at least a kilometre between any liquor outlet, whether it be a free-standing liquor store or liquor or wine outlet set aside in a grocery store. Dhaliwal said, under the new liquor rules, a limited number of grocery stores will be allowed to sell wine without being subject to the
one-kilometre limit required between liquour outlets. That could result in wine being sold in a grocery store, which is located next to a liquor outlet, either privately or provincially owned. Allowing wine on grocery shelves has “serious consequences” for B.C.’s liquor industry. It maintains that once wine is allowed in grocery stores, those out-
lets will dominate the marketplace, selling up to 70 per cent of the wine sold in that area. “Small businesses are squeezed out of the market and local businesses are forced to close.” Dhaliwal said Kamloops has already passed such a bylaw, requiring a one-kilometre distance between any future liquor outlet, including wine outlets in grocery stores.

Hundreds of metres of copper wire stolen along Golden Ears Way

By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
Wire theft is once again becoming a problem in Maple Ridge, and police are asking for the public’s help. Ridge Meadows RCMP are looking for the person or people responsible for overnight wire theft from lamp standards along Golden Ears Way. “The crime took place sometime during the dark hours of Monday, July 6 and the morning of July 7. Thieves targeted a number of lamp standards on Golden Ears Way from 203 Street east to 210 Street, and stole hundreds of meters of copper wire,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop. “The cost of repair and replacement will be very significant.” Police believe it is likely somebody saw someone while this occurred. “Golden Ears Way is a major thoroughfare, and police are hoping someone will call us with information that will advance this investigation, as the area is very rural, with few residences or businesses in the area,” said Dunlop. Police are appealing to any motorist who was traveling this road between 10 p.m. Monday and 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, asking that they call if they observed anyone acting suspicious. This may include persons or vehicles being parked in and around a lamp standard, say police. Wire theft has plagued the community, and 2011 saw more than 500 residents lose telephone service as thieves stole copper lines along 272 Street, and that same year three commemorative bronze plaques were ripped off the Pitt River Bridge.

Helping out Everyone is watching for an apocalypse to prove that climate change is truly happening. The truth is more subtle. While this year’s strange weather patterns and unusual wildfire season are upsetting, scientists say we should keep an eye on long-term trends, not the short-term aberrations. One area where this is particularly evident is in the study of salmon habits. Scientists have found that trends of ocean warming and cooling can mask the effects of climate change, with a cooler phase starting now. But at the same time, scientists are also noticing some salmon species are moving further north, even into Alaska, and some Fraser River salmon are returning early, which can affect spawning survival. Another report issued this past week found that changes in ocean physics and chemistry brought on by climate change will eventually kill off some salmon, reducing the food fishery and making salmon even more expensive than it is now. The warning should be heeded because of the importance of the iconic fish to the ecosystem. Salmon, including chum and coho that we see return locally each year, are a keystone species, critical to the survival of other forms of life. They fertilize our forests, feed wildlife and, like the proverbial canary in a coal mine, can inform us about our own future by changes in their habits. If the oceans are becoming too warm for salmon and the fish are returning early, creeks will need to be maintained as cool, protected safe havens, and the rivers need to have enough water flow to be safe for fish. How can we help? We can conserve water and electricity so more water can be released in the river. We can stop pouring noxious substances down storm drains and discourage development from being placed too close to creeks so trees and foliage, which moderate temperatures and water flows, and feed rivers and creeks with their nutrients, are preserved. It may be smoky and hot, but that doesn’t mean the apocalypse is here. If we learn nothing else from this overheated summer, we should at least learn to be more sensitive and protective of our natural surroundings. –Black Press

Opposition to blind progress “Not blind opposition to progress, but opposition to blind progress” – John Muir, American naturalist.
I
’m watching a movie with Gerry Pinel about a world blindly dependent on oil. Along the Fraser It’s a topic, Pinel, a confessed “recovering Jack Emberly oil executive,” knows a lot about. Groundswell, the Raincoast Foundation film, features two world- class surfers riding huge waves off B.C.’s rugged northwest coast. Neither Gerry or I surf, but the film’s not about that. It’s about a special place. The Great Bear – one of the largest remaining tracts of unspoiled temperate rainforest left in the world – stretches from the tip of Vancouver Island to Alaska. “It’s a place,” says B.C. surfer Chris Devries, “on the verge of change, against the will of people.” People like Heiltsuk First Nations Jessie Housty, seen collecting the medicinal plants her great-grandmothers used. “Our entire identity,” she says, “is tied to the place we come from and how we interact with it.

uestion of the week:
this place also threatens the people, also threatens the culture, also threatens the root of our entire existence here.” It’s a place that’s home to cougars, wolves, salmon, grizzlies, the white Kermode – or “spirit” bears –and a place, thanks to a decision of the National Energy Board, where tankers loaded with Alberta’s tar sands bitumen could ply through pods of humpback whales, orcas, and “rafts” of sea otters, if Enbridge satisfies 209 “conditions.” They’re irrelevant, says, Raincoast’s director of marine studies, Brian Falconer. He’s sailed through and around rugged Douglas Channel on the tanker’s route for 30 years. “It’s impossible to believe anybody who thinks there won’t be an incident,” says Falconer, captain of the Achiever, the sailboat that carried the surfers here. The Heiltsuk agree. “The tides through here are some of the strongest in the world,” says William Housty. “You could only imagine how fast that oil would travel to the estuaries and rivers systems, and when you affect one, everything else is affected.” Pinel paints a frightening picture of an incident. “The grain ship that spilled bunker oil into English Bay was little compared to even mid-sized oil tankers,” he tells me. “They’re 245-metres long, holding 80,000 metric tonnes, or 500,000 barrels. There’s

seven barrels per tonne. Multiply that by 42, the gallons per barrel. That comes to 500,000 times 42 times 3.78 [litres per gallon], or 75-80 million [88,905,600 on my calculator] litres.” Pinel pauses to let you visualize the scene. “Even if you dumped just three per cent of the cargo of an oil tanker in Douglas Channel, that’s 1,000 times more than the spill in English Bay. Scary enough for you?” It is, if you note oil spill facts and history. Oil response firm, Worldocean says only about 15 per cent of oil spills in sea water is ever recovered, despite official claims. The risks posed by tankers along the irreplaceable Great Bear Rainforest – an eco-tourism gold mine –are too high. The NEB’s 209 conditions are meaningless except to an industry blinded by profits. Dr. Chris Darimont, Raincoast director of science, predicts the project will be stopped by First Nations challenges in court or on site. “If I had 15 minutes with one of these oil executives, I would suggest he didn’t have a clue about the power, the defiance, of a people absolutely united in opposition.” But, would anyone driven by blind progress listen? Jack Emberly is a retired teacher, local author and environmentalist.

Trevor R.J. Dueck · Re: Maple Ridge approves PR money for homelessness. Relax people. At no point does it say that hiring a PR firm was going to solve the homeless problem. What they are doing is hiring some help in communication. It’s actually pretty standard. You want this government to be transparent or not? Council is in a sticky situation and is doing its best here. It’s not as easy to just ask those people to leave or arrest them. They are trying to find a solution. Building more housing seems to be a right move. Not to mention providing help for people who need it. Every homeless person has different needs. Have some compassion ...
Editor, The News: With the completion date of June 30, and now that we are well into July, I feel that parks and leisure services bit off more than it can chew. Whonnock Lake park was a nice place for families and groups to enjoy a day at the lake, having a picnic, throwing frisbees, playing badminton and swimming.
Instead, we have a big construction site, with fencing around the entire park. The picnic tables are stacked up in one corner. There is no play area for the kids to have a swing. There is no grass for people to sit or play on. The park needed a touch-up, I agree. But to take it apart they way they did,
I feel it wasn’t well-thought through and could have been done in phases so that the disruption was minimized. Most of the work could have been done in the fall. Instead, the people employed to make these decisions dropped the ball and should be help accountable. Phil Johnson Maple Ridge

Metro air quality reached ‘exceptionally high readings’ Shift in winds could bring relief By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
The air quality advisory for the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver is expected to continue today. “We’re watching the situation. It’s possible there could be a change by Friday,” said Julie Saxton, air quality planner with Metro. She noted there are still high readings of ground level ozone and fine particulate matter, drifting into the region from wild-
fires around the province and in Washington State. Early in the week there were “exceptionally high readings,” which have since improved. Saxton said weather reports call for a change in wind direction, which could bring cleaner air. At the same time, forest fires can be unpredictable. “There’s a lot of uncertainty with wildfire smoke,” said Saxton. “It’s a fairly complex condition of factors.” Persons with chronic underlying medical conditions should postpone strenuous activities until the advisory is lifted. Staying indoors in air conditioned spaces
helps to reduce fine particulate exposure. Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have diabetes, and lung or heart disease. Metro Vancouver works in cooperation with Environment Canada, the Fraser Valley Regional District and B.C. Ministry of Environment to look after air quality. • Information about real-time air quality readings for Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley communities and potential health impacts can be found a www.airmap.ca and www. bcairquality.ca.
‘We connect them with services’ Services from front
When there are public complaints about a homeless person camping where they shouldn’t be, bylaw enforcement officer Lesley Elchuk goes to speak with them. “We try to hook up people with the appropriate social services,” said Becker. The Friends in Need Food Bank has a Pitt Meadows location, but its mandate is to provide food and necessities for low income families. Those who want to receive a monthly hamper must have proof of address, identification and proof of income in order to register. The food bank distributes approximately 750 hampers to households in Maple Ridge and Pitt Mead-
ows each month. But Clare Devlin at the Pitt Meadows food bank isn’t about to turn away anyone who is hungry, and she has four regular homeless clients. “We let them come in and grab some bread and vegetables and whatever they can use without cooking,” she said. Wanting to follow the rules, she asked one of the men for an address, so she could register him for a hamper. “Number 1 Golden Ears Bridge,” he responded. He shares his place under the bridge with other people. “They’re sweet. Nice people. Very respectful,” said Devlin. Another “regular” doesn’t come to the
™ Yard T ractor t s e u q Con
food bank, but Devlin will bring him water and something to eat. “He walks up and down the street talking to himself, and arguing with himself.” Devlin refers homeless people to the Caring Place in Maple Ridge “If we had something like that, then we would get homeless people too,” she said. Becker sees no solution for Maple Ridge.
“I admire Mayor [Nicole] Read and her council for grasping the nettle on this, in trying to thing globally and act locally,” said Becker. “I certainly don’t have advice or an answer for her. “Perhaps they will come up with a template for local governments who are stepping into these provincial jurisdictions,” he said. “And they have to – these are our citizens.”

What about closer to home?
I
t’s a No. The people have spoken, loud and clear. In Maple Ridge, more people (77 per cent) voted against the proposed 0.5 per cent increase in sales tax to pay for transit, road and bike improvements than anywhere else in Metro Vancouver. Would that have anything to do with the fact that we rely more on our cars than anywhere else in Metro Vancouver? In Pitt Meadows, 72 per cent of Pitt residents voted against the increase. Voter turn-out for the plebiscite in Maple Ridge was 51 per cent, and 49 in Pitt Meadows. Compare that to the 2014 municipal election turn-out of 31 per cent in both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Whatever message people felt they needed to give, whether to TransLink, to the B.C. Liberal government, or to their mayors, or all of the above, this vote was obviously important to them. So the No-side won. Now what? The real problems – worsening congestion, lack of transit options for many and poor cycling infrastructure – are now even farther from being solved, and seem to be on track to make our commuting lives more miserable in years to come. Call me negative. I call it being realistic. Let’s also consider this: while many blame TransLink for all that’s bad in the transit world, how can it be blamed for the way Maple Ridge has made many rather unwise land-use decisions in the past that now make it pretty darn difficult to provide cost- and time-effective transit for all in our area? Somehow the powers that be should, hopefully, come up with a new funding source. Despite the No side’s victory, fought for with so much passion and dedication, many won’t be so happy in the end, because they’re going to get stuck in traffic. After all, even though many thought this was just about teaching TransLink a lesson or two, we just chose the car as our solution to
congestion. In the meantime, we cycling advocates will continue to give our feedback when road construction is being planned. Life goes on. But I am convinced that the only way a city can be successful is by being inclusive. A city should work for all, including those who can’t afford a car. A successful city should be inclusive of street people, many of whom tend to get around by bike. Just like they need a place to live, they need to be able to get around safely, cheaply and efficiently, if those who are able to work are ever going to be able to hold a job. Cycling facilities should not be seen as optional, as they often still seem to be today in Maple Ridge. When a new intersection appears such as the one at 112th Avenue and Kanaka Way at 240th Street, we’re told we’ll just have to wait for our bike lanes until the entire area is built
out, which can be many years from now. Until then, we’ll have to be content to be biking with the sharks, or stay on the sidewalks. So much for the pride our city Cycling takes in its so- Jackie Chow called ‘multimodal’ transportation system, which supposedly works for all. Seeing so many people speak up in this plebiscite, with such passion, about whatever it is that they felt was so important to them, makes me wish that those same people would speak up with the same passion when it comes to their vision of the kind of city that they want to live in. Although, you have to wonder, what is their vision of the ideal city? Many people just seem to want to get from point A to point B fast, and how their speedy, and often noisy and dangerous travel affects others and our
city in general seems of no concern to them. Through our car addiction, we’ve created a lot of places that apparently aren’t worth caring about. The way a lot of drivers speed through our neighbourhoods attests to that. They drive through them as if they don’t care about them and the people that live in them. In the end, it all depends on what we want. Here’s hoping that the many people that cared so much about TransLink’s governance problems and wasted tax dollars, will start caring enough about our streets and our neighbourhoods to start demanding proper funding for transit and bike lanes. Jackie Chow is a member of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows chapter of HUB Cycling.

‘We need temporary shelter’ B.C. Housing has said it would discuss a temporary shelter, as well as another supportive housing building similar to Alouette Heights, where people on mental health or drug treatment plans get support 24 hours a day. “What we need is a temporary shelter. That’s something we need to work on.” But Read said no possible locations have been identified. Zoning would have to be considered, as well as technical requirements by B.C. Housing. Read said the camp is a “deep concern for the city,” and it’s a crisis for the neighbourhood. “We need to work out a solution that connects these people on the street to continued care and housing.” Without access to services, mental health, addiction or other counselling, people will just end up back on the street, she said. Read was asked in April why the city allowed the camp to grow to its current size. “The city didn’t allow the camp,” she said. Homeless people banded together and said they wouldn’t move because they were tired of being pushed from place to place, she added. The city then had to create a strategy to deal with that. “We are doing our best
with the resources we have.” She said it was impossible to calculate how much the city was spending on the issue. “We are spending money, no question.” Money is going into all levels, from bylaws, fire inspections and police visits. The issue is also consuming senior staff and council time, she added. Camp resident Tracy Scott said homeless people just need a place to go. “We need somewhere safe.” A common complaint is that homeless people don’t have a place to store their valuables, which makes them targets as they push grocery carts filled with their possessions. Providing at least a storage location would allow people to look for jobs or to move around easier without fear of losing their possessions. Eby said later that the province needs to work with the community and local government to find a short-term site to relieve the pressure on residents and businesses, “and then transition people into permanent housing with wrap-around mental health and addiction services.” Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Marc Dalton is encouraged that the issue is receiving attention and will talk to Rich Coleman, minister responsible for housing.
“Certainly, I’m monitoring what’s happening. It’s important to the community and to myself.” Results of the 2014 Metro Vancouver count showed 84 homeless in the area, down 38 per cent from 110 in 2011. Alouette Heights supportive housing complex is helping with that, he said. The ongoing tension of having people camping across the street continues to wear on homeowners along Cliff Avenue. There’s always been homeless people, but “It’s just got right out of hand,” said Pam Banks. It’s not so much the fulltime camp residents that bother the homeowners, but the people who show up at night in their cars. “You just don’t feel safe. I’ve got three dogs I’m pretty much ready to stick on Prozac. We need to do something.” She won’t allow her kids outside. “The provincial and federal governments need to step up and start looking after and dealing with this issue. And we’re not just talking homeless, we’re talking about people that are near homeless,” she said. “It’s frustrating.” Lisa Sullivan, who’s lived in the area for 15 years, said she wants people at the camp to get better. But some people on the camp don’t want to get well. “They’re creating a very
dangerous environment for these children to grow up in. They can’t sleep at night, they’re hearing screaming and yelling. We’re afraid for these kids. They’re scared to be outside. “Our health is deteriorating we’ve been fighting this for so long. We need the higher levels of government to hear us. It’s got to change.” Some of the homeowners along Cliff Avenue had their children write letters telling what they think of the camp. “I am mad because I can’t ride my bike. The tent people are screaming and using bad words all the time. I want my street back. Please help,” Kael, 8, said on one. “I am six years old. The yelling scares me and I can’t sleep. I am scared to play in my front yard. Please help. It’s my summer too. Thank you,” said Jaelyn, 6. Hailey Homen, 17, said she’s heard things that scar her. She said she seen needles in people’s arms, and hears death threats. “The stress this camp puts on my family is unnecessary. It needs to go, months ago.”

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? good solution for most people.
A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally
This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background. Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in amplified in the ear and loud sounds the situations discussed above and can benefit from a demonstration no longer dampened. to see whether they notice an This leads to more difficulty in improvement. hearing what is said in a lot of situations.

REAL ESTATE IN MAPLE RIDGE & PITT MEADOWS
Housing prices continue to climb By Kevin Gillies
B
enchmark housing prices in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows continue to climb amidst the Greater Vancouver region’s best sellers real estate market in a decade. Bench composite price (detached houses, townhomes and condominiums combined) for homes in Maple Ridge rose by one per cent in the last month, 2.9 per cent in the last three months, 4.6 per cent in the past six months, and 5.9 per cent in the last year. The estimated benchmark (representing a typical property in a given market) composite price in Maple Ridge is now pegged at $414,600. The benchmark price on homes in Pitt Meadows rose by 0.3 per cent in one month, 4.3 per cent in three months, 6.2 per cent in six months, and 8.4 per cent in the past year. The estimated benchmark composite price in Maple Ridge is now at $424,400. “Conditions today are being driven by low interest rates, a declining supply of detached homes, a growing population, a provincial economy that’s outperforming the rest of Canada, pent-up demand from previous years and, perhaps most importantly, the fact that we live in a highly desirable region,� said Darcy McLeod, president of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. McLeod said a low inventory of listings results in prices being driven higher. “We’re seeing a steady stream of new listings entering the market, but the overall number of homes for sale is not keeping up with buyer demand,� McLeod said. “We continue to see strong competition for homes that are priced right for today’s market,� McLeod added. “It’s important to remember that real estate is hyper local, particularly in a seller’s market. This means that conditions and prices vary depending on property type, neighbourhood, and other factors.� The local pricing surge is more prevalent in single-family detached homes, with prices in Maple Ridge rising by 1.2 per cent over the past month, 3.9 per cent over the past three months, by 5.7 per cent over the past

Housing prices in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows have risen six to eight per cent in the past year.
six months, and by 7.1 per cent over the past year. The estimated benchmark composite price in Maple Ridge single-family, detached home is now estimated by the REBGV to be at $505,100. The estimated benchmark price on homes in Pitt Meadows rose by 1.2 per cent in one month, 5.4 per cent in three months, 7.3 per cent in six months, and 10 per cent in the past year. “Demand in our detached home market continues to drive activity across Metro Vancouver,� McLeod said. “There were more detached home sales in the region last month than we’ve seen during the month of
June in more than 10 years.� The MLS Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $694,000. This represents a 10.3 per cent increase compared to June 2014. “Housing market activity comes in cycles; we’re in an up cycle right now that looks similar to the mid-2000s,� McLeod said. “It would be easy to point to one factor that’s causing this cycle, but the truth is that it’s a number of different factors.� There was a total of 303 Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows real estate sales in the month of June 2015, compared to 223 in June 2014 — an increase of 36 per cent.

In comparison, there was a total of 379 homes listed for sale in the month of June 2015, compared to 312 in June 2014 — an increase of 21 per cent. “The competition in today’s market means that buyers have less time to make decisions,� McLeod said, adding buyers in the local market should work with a real estate agent to develop a buying strategy “that meets your needs and risk appetite, and to receive other services and protections that come from having professional representation.�

Burrards chasing last playoff spot WLA squad finally on a roll with third straight victory
ing curve, and it’s something he’s wanted to do.” The Burrards have just six games games to play, and took a three-game win streak into Queen’s Park Arena Thursday night to take on the second place New Westminster Salmonbellies (7-5). “We dug ourselves a big hole early on – we just want to get into the dance,” said Gill. “We don’t care if it’s second, third or fourth.” “We’ve got six games left, and we’ve got to take care of business. We’ve just got to win our games.” Their next home game is Tuesday at 7:45 p.m. at Planet Ice, when they host the Coquitlam Adanacs.
By Neil Corbett sports@mapleridgenews.com
The Maple Ridge Burrards are taking a legit run at a playoff spot, with a big win over the Langley Thunder on Tuesday night – the team they have to catch. The Burrards are sitting in fifth place in the WLA with a record of 5-7 after Wednesday’s win. So beating the fourth-place Thunder, now 6-7, by a score of 12-9 was critical to their chances of taking the fourth and and final playoff spot. Dan Taylor again led the team in scoring with six points on a goal and five assists. Coach Chris Gill said the rookie out of Alberta had not played at the calibre of the WLA, but has obvious skill and was recruited by every team in the league. “He’s got an unbelievable shot, and he drives the net with power. He’s a double threat,” said Gill. Riley Loewen was the top scorer with three goals and four points, and was selected the game’s first star. And Ben McIntosh and Jarrett Davis each had a two goals and three assists on a big points night. McIntosh, the NLL rookie of the year, has moved into a tie for fifth in WLA goal scoring with 20, despite having missed four games. Other scorers were Connor Goodwin, Coady Adamson, Mike Mallory and Colton Por-

Rosters are now frozen in the WLA, and before that the Burrards made a couple of moves, trading Brandon Bertoia to Coquitlam and adding Matthew Noble to their active roster. Noble is from Syracuse, and had played in the Eastern-based Can-Am League. He moved to B.C. and was playing Senior B when the Burrards scouted him. “He’s been a real big surprise for us,” said Gill. He’s rugged, but at the same time Gill notes Noble has good hands, and can shoot both left and right handed. “He’s got really good skills, but he plays hard-nosed defence.” Bertoia was the odd man out, and Gill said it was good to send him to a team that could give him regular playing time. The Burrards received a fourth-round draft pick back.
Burrard nominated for new teammate award sports@mapleridgenews.com
The National Lacrosse League has announced three finalists for the 2015 NLL Teammate of the Year Award, and Edmonton Rush forward Jarrett Davis, who is also a key player with the Maple Ridge Burrards, is among them. He will be up against Vancouver Stealth forward Joel McCready and Toronto Rock forward Josh Sanderson. All were voted by NLL players as

the league’s best teammates in 2015. Davis finished fifth on the Rush in scoring with 46 points (13 goals, 33 assists) while adding career-highs in loose balls (61) and caused turnovers (19) in 17 games played. The fifthyear pro helped Edmonton to a firstplace finish in the West Division as the franchise eventually went on to win its first Champion’s Cup. New for the 2015 season, the award was created to honor players who demonstrate exemplary teamwork

and leadership qualities during the course of the regular season. The award recognizes the “ideal teammate” who exemplifies selfless play along with commitment and dedication to their team. The best candidates are those who lead by positive example through on-floor performance, motivation of team members, and dedication to community activities and charitable causes. NLL players voted one teammate from their respective teams into the
pool of nine nominees, which was then voted on by players league-wide to determine the three finalists. The Burrards had two other nominees in goaltender Frankie Scigliano of the Calgary Roughnecks, and Tyler Codron of the Colorado Mammoth. The Teammate of the Year award is determined by voting among NLL players. The winner will be announced at the NLL Season Awards Ceremony on Sept. 29 in Toronto.

Here’s the pitch: Throwing’s evolution
I
f you’ve ever watched a slowmotion video of a baseball player throw or a pitcher pitch from the mound it is an astonishing and fascinating sight. The arm goes through positions that are unfathomable to most viewers. It is amazing that pitchers can perform this motion and even more impressive that they can do it without hurting themselves. Of course, given enough time and repetition they can get injured. In the last two to three million years of hominid history there were a number of developments that led to evolutionary success and the ability to throw was a key to survival while hunting. Archeologists have found that we became much more efficient carnivores during that period. To investigate throwing we need to understand how the shoulder evolved. There are striking similarities between the shoulder and hip that demonstrate that both joints performed the same function at one point in our evolution – locomotion. These joints are comprised of identical structures. When we began to walk upright, changes occurred that allowed us to become excellent long-distance runners. More flexibility developed between the pelvis and rib cage. This not only allowed for a
more efficient running stride and muscle attachment.
