Mayor pans municipal watchdog by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter The province is facing sharp criticism from local mayors over plans to create a municipal auditor-general. Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean did not mince his words when MacLean asked about an auditor-general while attending the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, where on Thursday civic politicians voted overwhelmingly to object to provincial plans to a create the spending watchdog. “Right now, it stands as a political decision that may seem popular with the public, but what’s it going to do is add tax dollars to their bill every year,” MacLean said.

Pratt gets a second chance Granted parole again, but with special conditions by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter The young man who dragged a Maple Ridge gas station attendant to his death six years ago will be out of prison in a month. Darnell Darcy Pratt has been given a second chance at parole and will be released from a federal penitentiary on Nov. 3.
The last time Pratt was granted statutory release, in June 2010, he violated curfew and was back in prison within 48 hours. A parole board decision released Thursday reveals the 22-year-old Maple Ridge man will have a difficult time staying away from a life of crime. Pratt has been racking up institutional charges while in prison for a slew of incidents, including using drugs, drinking alcohol, verbally abusing corrections staff and assaulting another inmate. “Your institutional behaviour
has been very poor,” the board said in a decision that imposed several special conditions on Pratt’s upcoming statutory release. “You have used drugs, in- Pratt curred several institutional charges and are described as periodically uncooperative with your

He reported to the residence and met his 8 p.m. curfew, but failed to return the next day. A Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest and Kamloops RCMP found Pratt 48 hours later, walking along a Kamloops street.

Scrap metal bylaw soon at MR council Second-hand stores, pawn shops could be next by Phi l M elnyc h u k staff reporter It’s going to be a tougher time to fence stolen scrap metal if Maple Ridge council accepts a draft bylaw regulating the trade in the next few weeks. The new rules would require scrap metal dealers to fax to police daily their purchases of copper wire, scrap aluminum or bronze plaques, so police can check it against stolen goods reports. And any junk that a dealer accepts must be held, untouched, for a week if the transaction was recorded on computers, and for 21 days, if paper records were kept. “We’re hoping to bring this bylaw forward very soon,” bylaws director Liz Holitzky told council Monday. Holitzky showed slides of the effects of metal theft on municipal infrastructure, one which depicted a gaping hole in the sidewalk that endangered passersby after thieves stole the cover and the wires inside. Another showed lengths of thick copper cable chopped down from telephone poles, leaving the poles hanging precariously. The thieves left the wire beside the roadside and if the police don’t respond, they return later to pick up the wire. The plastic insulation then is burnt off before it gets taken to a dealer. Thieves even will go on to B.C.
James Maclennan/THE NEWS
Mike Salo at Fraser Valley Metal Exchange doubts the district will be able to enforce the bylaw. Hydro substations to rip out wires. “These are very secure properties,” Holitzky said. Mike Salo though, with Fraser Valley Metal Exchange, has his doubts about the bylaw. “There’s no way they’re going to be able to enforce it.” Keeping material for seven days would require him to increase the amount of cash reserve in his
bank account. And even if it was kept that long, it would be difficult to find it again. He says he could fax in the transactions daily to police, but it would make more sense for police to fax in their lists of stolen materials so the shops can watch for it. He already requires valid, photo ID before making a purchase, while the seller must also have a
licensed vehicle and can’t arrive on foot, bicycle or with a grocery cart. “We’ve done everything possible to prevent any [stolen] material from coming in here.” The bylaw is a result of a Lower Mainland task force on scrap metal dealers and follows tough bylaws enacted in Vancouver, Richmond and Surrey.
Those bylaws, however, could just move heavy metal thieves to municipalities that don’t yet have the bylaws, such as Maple Ridge and Langley. It could also spark an increase in crime, said Coun. Cheryl Ashlie, who was on the task force. The bylaw also would require that any scrap metal from identifiable sources, such as B.C. Hydro, Telus, traffic or street signs, or wire that has been burned, has to be delivered by a vehicle from that source. The task force asked the provincial government to enact such laws, but it hasn’t done anything, so cities are taking on the responsibility, said a staff report. A 2008 court decision ruled that municipalities can’t require sellers to provide their identities when they’re selling their goods. If council enacts the bylaw, the district would have the power to yank the shop’s business licence and slap on a fine of up to $10,000. Mayor Ernie Daykin said some scrap metal dealers are looking forward to the new bylaw, hoping it will weed out the less-reputable dealers. But he added that municipalities have to ensure they have the political will to move forward with the laws if the scrap metal dealers mobilize Holitzky said eventually secondhand goods stores and pawn shops will be included in the new bylaw, while Ashlie pointed out other cities are charging higher business licence fees for pawn shops because of the high revenues into the stores.

That reflects an increase in the number of officers assigned to Maple Ridge from 79 to 84. In the same time period, fire department costs jumped 84 per cent (to $7.2 million) as the district continues to move to a full-time/ paid on call service, rather than a paid, on-call service. Roll-out of that plan, in which the fire department increases its paid force yearly, concludes in 2013. When combined under the term “protective services” – fire, police, bylaw and animal control cost the District of Maple Ridge $26.7 million in 2010. That’s a 39-per-cent increase from 2006 and is part of the district’s $96.6 million in expenses for 2010. Coun. Mike Morden pointed out that some retired RCMP officers are being rehired, while collecting their full pension, and wondered if that was making it more difficult for junior officers to move up the ranks. Perhaps retired officers should only be used in training capacities, he added. See Policing, p5

of those police services dogs are pooled and we’re able to have very extensive coverage and these dogs are available 24/7.” The two other integrated teams, forensics identification and the integrated homicide investigation team also increased their budgets. Maple Ridge now contributes $457,631 to the forensics ID team, a 28-per-cent increase from two years ago. The murder investigation squad will cost Maple Ridge $693,031 this year – up by 13 per cent from 2009. She said each team bases its budget on the number of people it has and the anticipated activity rather than budgeted amounts. “The support we get from Maple Ridge council has been second to none,” she told council. “These are your teams. They are a part of your community and your detachment.” Maple Ridge’s general policing costs for its own detachment have also increased. From 2006 to 2010, the district’s policing costs jumped 35 per cent – to $15.8 million.

Supt. Janice Armstrong knows police are expensive and make up a big chunk of taxpayer-funded municipal budgets. So the chief superintendent of the Lower Mainland RCMP, and former officer in charge of Ridge Meadows detachment, shared some costs of the specialized police squads with Maple Ridge last week. “Policing obviously is extremely expensive. It certainly takes the lion’s share of municipal government and we recognize that,” she said during her presentation. For example, the emergency response team, now at its full strength of 67 police officers, will cost Maple Ridge taxpayers $263,381 this year. That’s an increase of 47 per cent from two years ago. The integrated team that analyzes traffic collisions in the Lower Mainland will also cost Maple Ridge more. The district’s projected
share for 2011 is $117,225 – up 19 per cent from two years ago. When it comes to the canine squad, Maple Ridge is paying more as well. Maple Ridge for 2011 will pay $371,041 – a 23-per-cent increase from two years ago. But Armstrong pointed out the district has gained by having the integrated police dog service, which now has 44 dog-handler teams around the Lower Mainland. A dog and handler now are available around the clock whereas before integration, a team based in Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows was only available one shift a day. Now all those dogs are pooled with better coverage and reduced overtime, she explained. “We’re able to keep our officers in these particular fields for a longer period of time.” And before integrated teams, there weren’t many opportunities for advancement; officers would leave and so would their expertise. Armstrong said regional integrated teams offer better value for the dollar. “Now that we have an integrated team, all

Car Care Grad rates climbing for special needs students with Cyril Barry
CAR CARE MONTH October is officially known as Car Care Month. Twice yearly in both May and October the automotive repair industry worldwide heavily promotes basic maintenance during these two months of the year. The reason for this promotion are twofold: your vehicle needs regular maintenance, and we want your business. It seems simple enough to understand, a friendly reminder that it is wiser to spend regularly on maintenance, something you can budget and prepare for in your busy schedule. As opposed to driving your vehicle until trouble rears its ugly head, leaving you stranded, frustrated and broke. The average price of a new car is $33,000, and a truck is $41,000 plus taxes & interest. From the moment you buy a new vehicle its resale value drops daily, so the trick is to make it last as long as possible. The average vehicle owner spends $850.00 per year, or $71.00 per month, per vehicle, and of course the applicable taxes. In doing the math, if your vehicle visits the repair shop three times per year or every four months, don’t be surprised if you receive a bill for $290.00 plus taxes. Of course you're going to get some grace on these averages when your vehicle is new, so use that time to set up a maintenance fund for your vehicle and start saving. For those of you that cannot afford to purchase a new vehicle, you’re not alone as the sale of used vehicles has increased dramatically. Keep in mind when shopping for the used vehicle of your choice that you want to see service records. If you hear someone say that it’s been a great car and they haven’t had to spend much on it, BEWARE, as you're likely going to be playing catch up, after all, why are they selling it if it’s such a good vehicle? Always make your offer on the purchase of a used vehicle subject to a complete mechanical inspection at an independent full service, certified auto repair shop. If the seller balks at you having their vehicle inspected, or worse yet, won’t authorize the inspection, Do Not Buy That Vehicle as someone has something to hide, and they’re trying to hide it from you, the purchaser. In closing, I would like to clarify the difference between maintenance and repairs. Maintenance comprises service, adjustments and parts replacement before they wear out or break causing damage to other related parts. Maintenance is done in an effort to save you time and what is most important, money. Repairs are usually performed after something has been ignored, due to lack of maintenance. Repairs usually take longer, and they usually occur at the most inopportune time and cost more to complete, due to lack of regular maintenance. If it seems like I’m repeating myself on this lack of regular maintenance issue, you're right. Drive safely, be careful out there as it’s getting slippery in the AM and PM, when the sun‘s not out.

As well for those with behavioural disabilities by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter Graduation rates for students with learning and behavioural disabilities have risen in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows the past two years, despite trustee claims that special education is underfunded by the provincial government. After four years of steady declines, the grad rates for students with learning disabilities and behavioural problems have increased steadily
since 2008, deputy superintendent Laurie Meston told trustees at Wednesday night’s school board meeting . During the 2007/08 school year, the six-year graduation rate for students with learning disabilities was 52 per cent, falling from 77 per cent in 2004/05. The grad rate was also below the provincial average of 59 per cent. As of the 2009/10 school year, the grad rate for learning disabled students jumped to 67 per cent, above the provincial average of 61 per cent. Students with behavioural problems saw a similar jump in graduation rates. In 2007/08, their graduation rate was
35 per cent. By 2009/10, that rate was 49 per cent, compared to a 36 per cent provincial average. Meston said the gains were in part to new technology and additional staffing. In addition to making available new software that allowed students to dictate assignments and help them with literacy, the district also provided extra staffing hours to secondary schools to support special education students. However, trustees are concerned that current special education funding is not adequate and plans to send a letter requesting more from the provincial government. “It has been conserva-

million budget. “We find the rationale to justify the cuts to the special education portion of the budget, quite frankly, disturbing,” Maple Ridge Teachers’ Association president George Serra said at the time. “We believe that the services provided to students by these teachers, notably those students who have distinct learning challenges, are worth their weight in gold.” However, Serra noted provincial underfunding placed the board in a difficult position. “Obviously, we’re disappointed, but we understand the challenge [trustees] are faced with.”
District violated its own policy, parent claims by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District violated its own policy when it hired a consultant at a price tag of more than $10,000 earlier this year, a local parent alleged at Wednesday’s school board meeting. Karen Georgi accused trustees and staff of ignoring the district’s own purchasing policy, which states that suppliers of goods and services costing more than $5,000 are to be selected through a formal bid process, with at least three firms being contacted for bids. The district decided not to follow that process in
hiring Horizon Research and Evaluation earlier this year to research the district’s proposed move to a common timetable for students. “No where in this policy does it say that consultants are exempt and that consulting is not a service,” Georgi told trustees Wednesday night. “There is no definition of what a service is in your policy and it does not list any exemptions. Therefore, all uses of public money for services should follow your policy with no exemptions.” The consultant was hired by superintendent Jan Unwin through her discretionary spending budget of
$40,000 annually. Georgi filed a freedom of information request with the district to find out how much the consultant’s work cost the district after staff initially refused to divulge that information The district’s response referred to the work as “contract services,” which Georgi sees as proof the district should have followed its own purchasing procedure. By hand picking their own consultant, Georgi believes the district could influence the outcome of the research, which recommended switching to a common timetable and extending spring break to two weeks.
Cleaning Water Mains
Trustee Stepan Vdovine said the district handpicks consultants when there is a time constraint or if specialized expertise is required, as was the case with Horizon. “This has been the practice of the district for many years.” Gary Doi was formerly the superintendent of the Okanagan-Skaha school district, and since retiring two and a half years ago, has worked as a consultant with school districts across the province. Doi said it is common practice for school districts to forego a formal request for proposal for consulting work. “It depends on the nature and the extent of
what the work is,” Doi said. “If the work is on the operations side, or engineering, tendering is quite common.” However, for consultants whose work focusses on education and research, in Doi’s experience, districts often forgo the bidding process to select a firm with the most relevant experience. “Some consultants have very specific expertise,” he said. However, Georgi said if the district is going to ignore its own purchasing procedure, it needs a new policy stating when and how it should do so. “If that is going to be their policy, it has to be in writing,” she said.

Pratt must abstain from ‘intoxicants’ Pratt from front He was found with a powdery substance, believed to be heroin, when he was arrested. Since his return to prison, Pratt has not participated in any correctional programs and has gotten into fights that required his transfer to a different medium security facility.
Following the transfer, the violence continued and he is currently being assessed for another move, most likely to a maximum security prison. Pratt has been assessed as a “moderate” risk to re-offend. He was 16 years old in March 2005, when he struck gas attendant Grant De Patie in
a stolen car while fleeing an Esso station on Dewdney Trunk Road in Maple Ridge without paying for gas. Pratt dragged the 24-year-old De patie under the car for 7.5 kilometres. When he is released in November, Pratt will be bound by several special conditions that include having to
live in a halfway house or community correctional centre, abstaining from intoxicants, not associating with criminals, and having no contact with the De Patie family. He will also have no overnight leave privileges until he has shown stability in the community. His sentence officially ends on July 12, 2012.

Gravel spill by bridge
Pedestrian struck
A truck driver faces Motor Vehicle Act charges for spilling a load of gravel onto an on-ramp to the Golden Ears Bridge. Police were called to the ramp off Lougheed Highway at 1:40 p.m. Wednesday after the trailer hauling gravel overturned. The contents of the trailer blocked off two lanes of traffic for three hours while crews cleaned up the spill and towed the trailer away. Police are satisfied speed was a contributing factor in the crash and Motor Vehicle Act charges were laid against the driver of the truck.
A woman was taken to hospital Monday morning after being struck by a pickup truck while crossing a Maple Ridge street. The 45-year-old was walking across 224th Street at 124th Avenue around 8:15 a.m. when she was struck. Two off-duty firefighters witnessed the accident and tended to the woman until paramedics arrived. The woman was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Taking aim Ottawa is threatening to start pulling the RCMP out of B.C. in 2014 if the province and municipalities don’t sign a new 20-year policing contract by the end of November. The B.C. government and municipal leaders are balking at that ultimatum and are now talking about forming a provincial police force. Contract talks are, by nature, acrimonious. Two sides present their demands, which are sometimes unreasonable, on purpose or not, or at least distant. But they both make concessions and whittle away issues until they hit another roadblock, usually money. Threats, like a strike or some form of service withdrawal, are then made. Sometimes service is interrupted. But in the end, a common ground is reached, although the relationship can be scarred forever. With the RCMP, no one doubts their importance or worth. The Mounties are a cherished, integral and respected organization – a valuable piece of Canadian history. While the RCMP isn’t without deficiencies, it has made strides towards improving accountability, transparency and communication. Crime rates in B.C. hit a 30-year low in 2009. Overall, the RCMP do an outstanding job protecting the safety of the public, and for that we are grateful. At the same time, their is always room for improvement – although regional tasks force are lauded for their effectiveness, gangs are still running around shooting each other in public– and money is tight. It would seem money shouldn’t matter when it comes to safety, but the RCMP is funded by the ever increasingly tapped-out taxpayer, and currently the economy is again faltering. Teachers are in a similar position. Both are invaluable. So we must keep in mind the nature of contract talks as the province and RCMP hammer away at an agreement, and be reasonable in our reactions to each volley, careful to not get caught in the middle. The aim here is an amicable resolution that continues to maintain, even improve public safety, and retains the proud tradition of the RCMP in B.C. – The News Tell us what you think @ www.mapleridgenews.com

Outrage over Olson, justice system T

When the last breath leaves the body of this 71-yearold psychopath, it will be the final page of Canada’s most Commentary horrific criminal case, but many ques- Andrew Holota tions will remain. Virtually all of them have to do with the justice system, which dealt with Olson dozens of times prior to his killing spree, and then was manipulated and exploited by the murderer when he was caught, and again and again during his 30 years of incarceration. Before he began his murderous rampage in 1980, Olson had spent all but five years of his adult life in prison and had been a juvenile delinquent. Some sources put his number of previous convictions above 90. According to research undertaken by the parents of one of his young victims, Olson had sexually assaulted a seven-year-old girl in Nova Scotia in the 1970s. He committed a similar act in Edmonton, and at the time of his arrest for the chain of murders, there were a dozen outstanding charges of sexual assault against him that were not dealt

with because it would have been too expensive to transport him to the various jurisdictions where the crimes had been committed. He had been on police radar, but again, it would have taken huge law enforcement resources to keep tabs on the ticking bomb that was Olson, as he wandered all over B.C. And then, during several months from 1980-81, Olson abducted, raped and murdered eight girls and three boys aged between nine and 18. He preyed on victims across the Lower Mainland and dumped bodies in remote areas from Chilliwack to Whistler. He was finally arrested in the summer of 1981, and shortly thereafter, sparked another major justice system controversy. The 1982 deal securing Olson’s guilty plea – and sparing families of his victims the pain of a long trial – included a controversial $100,000 trust fund payment to his wife and infant son. As part of the payment deal, Olson led police to the undiscovered bodies of his victims. But Olson wasn’t finished torturing the families of the children he murdered. He managed to send letters from prison, one of which went to the parents of a victim, describing how the boy had been killed. Then in 1997, 15 years into his life sentence, Olson appeared in a Surrey courtroom, asking for early parole, under the “faint hope” clause. For several days, the court heard victim

impact statements from families forced to relive the horror all over again. He was denied parole, but under the clause, which allowed those serving a life sentence to apply for early parole, Olson could apply again. Eventually, an amendment to the law excluded serial killers, but Olson was back before the courts in 2006, again applying for parole under another clause which allowed convicted killers who had served 25 years to seek release. Olson hadn’t finished laughing at the joke we call a justice system. It was recently discovered that he – along with other prisoners – was receiving in trust $1,170 a month in federal pension benefits while behind bars. And, of course, that’s not the only financial outrage of this evil legacy. There is the cost to taxpayers to keep him in a cell. According to recent government reports, the annual cost of keeping a male inmate in prison rose to nearly $110,000 in 2009. Olson has been in prison for 30 years. Even if incarceration expenses were half of present figures in the 1980s, it will have cost in the range of $2 million to keep this monster behind bars. A few dollars worth of stout rope back in 1982 would have saved so much money, and so much pain. Andrew Holota is editor of the Abbotsford News, a Black Press affiliate.

THE NEWS/letters Homeless people need a place to live EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Making of a ghetto in my neighbourhood (Letters, Sept. 28). As I read the letter from M. Smythe regarding the 42-unit homeless facility being built at the corner of Brown Avenue and 222nd Street, I was struck by two things. First was the assertion that people with developmental disabilities working at the recycling depot are worthy and deserving of our support, while the homeless people for whom the 42-unit facility is being built are not. The writer made a number of statements in support of this view that were in error, chief among them the notion that the people working at the recycling depot are not supported financially. As a caregiver for a person working at the recycling centre, I can assure M. Smythe that the person we care for is housed for free (with tax dollars), fed for free (with tax dollars) and has their laundry done for free (with tax dollars). I can also attest that it is fiction to believe that the people working at the recycling depot arrive for work every day with pride and a sense of contributing to a job well done. No doubt many do, just as many arrive at work the same way we all do, feeling good one day and less so another. M. Smythe does a disservice to the population of people with developmental disabilities by inventing this illusory narrative about who they are and how they live. The second thing I was struck by was the subtext of the letter. The underlying, unstated belief inherent in M. Smythe’s views is the notion that homeless people have only themselves to blame for their situation. As someone who has spent more than 20 years working with homeless people, I can say that I have yet to meet anyone who wakes up one morning and decides to be an entitled, dissolute, self-indulgent, non-contributing homeless member of our society and who expects everyone to take care of them. People are homeless for a variety of reasons – systemic poverty, childhood trauma, mental illness, and drug addiction, to name a few. The uninformed and prejudicial opinions expressed in M. Smythe’s letter contribute nothing to a realistic understanding of homelessness and how we, as a society, can effectively deal with this issue. The reality is that homeless people need a place to live that is welcoming. The sinister observation that “there will be many people watching” is both creepy and unwelcoming. If we believe the developmental disability community deserves our support, then we should believe the homeless deserve our support, as well. MARK SMITH MAPLE RIDGE
chat@mapleridgenews.com Becker for mayor From: KellyMFry, posted on mapleridgenews.com. Re: Becker brings out bigwigs (The News, Sept. 23). John Becker works tirelessly at whatever endeavor he undertakes. It would be a huge asset for Pitt Meadows to have him as a mayor and leader with his experience, knowledge and no no-nonsense approach. Having worked with him at a committee level for several years, I would highly recommend him and encourage voters to look at the value and credibility that he brings.

B.C. Hydro plans to spend $800 million upgrading the 80-year-old Ruskin Dam. THE NEWS/files
Hydro systems need attention EDITOR, THE NEWS:
A considerable amount of infrastructure revitalization and expansion has taken place in B.C. over the past decade. And nowhere has this been more noticeable than in the transportation sector, where billions of dollars have been reinvested in the system: the new Port Mann Bridge; expansion of Highway No. 1 from Vancouver to Langley; new Bennett Bridge in Kelowna; new Kicking Horse Canyon Bridge east of Golden; Canada Line to Richmond and YVR.
All of these projects have brought, or are in the process of bringing, B.C.’s transportation system into the 21st century. Interestingly enough, B.C.’s core hydroelectric dams and transmission systems are also in need of revitalization and expansion. And, as with much of B.C.’s core transportation infrastructure, they too were mostly built in the 1950s and 1960s, following the Second World War. However, unlike the province’s transportation infrastructure, which most of us see and physically come
into contact with on a daily basis, few of us ever see the province’s energy generating infrastructure. Yet we rely on this largely unseen energy generating infrastructure as much, if not more, than the province’s transportation infrastructure. It, therefore, seems ironic that the public is balking at the revitalization, expansion and modernization of our province’s energy generating and transmission infrastructure and apparently begrudging B.C. Hydro the financial resources needed to bring B.C.’s energy in-
frastructure into the 21st century, as we’ve done with our roads and bridges. Failing to reinvest in B.C.’s energy infrastructure will undoubtedly have negative consequences. And just because electricity can’t been seen or touched in the same way that roads and bridges can, doesn’t mean we can go on expecting it to be supplied to our homes and businesses without reinvesting in, and maintaining, the infrastructure that supplies it to us. MICHAEL MCBRATNEY PITT MEADOWS
No guarantees, even with best of the best EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Maybe Dr. Terwiel will change his view (Letters, Sept. 14). There are times when a single word creates the wrong impression. In answering my rhetorical question – if patients in our local hospital received inferior anesthesia services or not – I stated “absolutely not.” I stand to be corrected since there was an anesthetic death in 1986, as Candice Boivin rightly pointed out. I cannot recall any other cases, but that doesn’t mean that I can categorically state that there has not been another anesthesia death, but still very unlikely. Such events shake not only the family, but all of the medical community and are not easily forgotten. All I can say is that thankfully such unexpected and dreadful outcomes are rare. Doctors are in the business of saving lives and put their heart and soul in doing just that. When, despite their best efforts, things go wrong and the patient dies during a surgical intervention, the
family is understandably devastated, especially where it concerns a child. Each occurrence is thoroughly investigated and if there were shortcomings in the care, then corrective measures are instituted to prevent a repeat disaster. If there was gross negligence or outright malpractice, the courts will deal with that. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. is charged with protecting the public from unprofessional or inadequate physicians. Unlike the RCMP investigating itself, the board of the college has a number of highly qualified non-physicians appointed by the government to prevent any suspicion of whitewashing. Any complaints from the public or fellow physicians are dealt with according to the rule of law. Ms. Boivin raised the question, do patients in our hospital have to worry about inadequately trained anesthetists? Let me answer that question as follows:
I had surgical privileges at our hospital since 1968 and performed many procedures under a general anesthetic administered by a properly trained family physician before we had any resident specialists. Doctors and their families also require medical care. They know better than most which physicians they can trust. Terwiel I felt honoured that colleagues sent me their family and children and also put themselves under my care. If there had been any doubt about either my own competence or the quality of the anesthesia services, they would have taken their families to another physician at the Royal Columbian or Vancouver General Hospital, or I would have sent them there. Just like my colleagues, I too have a local family physician that looks after my own health and I trust him implicitly. Speaking about VGH, the doctors there perform thou-
sands of successful procedures under general anesthesia administered by certified specialists. Yet a certified anesthetist specialist put a young, apparently healthy man – married with children – to sleep to have a toenail removed. The reason for the general anesthetic was that the man was too scared to have this done under local anesthesia. After all, it was merely a very short low risk procedure and one would expect a good outcome. Yet the man died on the table. His family is undoubtedly still grieving this totally unexpected outcome, just like the mother who lost her child at Ridge Meadows Hospital in 1986. The point is that there is no guarantee that every intervention will be a success, not even in the hands of the best specialist. MARCO TERWIEL MAPLE RIDGE

Magnetic personality Elaine and Ron Comeau made an impression last April when they appeared on CBC’s Dragon’s Den show. Their product, Easy Daysies, magnetic schedules for kids that help plan and organize days, wowed the panel of entrepreneurs so much they made competing offers. Eventually, Elaine, CEO of Easy Daysies, accepted an offer from Kevin O’Leary and Jim Treliving, owner of Boston Pizza, in which they invested $70,000 for a 30-per-cent share in the company and 10 per cent of the royalties. That will allow Elaine to contract a larger manufacturer and ramp up production to keep up with orders that have flooded in since the show aired Wednesday. Family and friends celebrated the deal at the local Boston Pizza Wednesday.

‘I’m not scared’ AG from front “Let’s audit those terrible municipal governments who always balance their books and do everything for eight cents on the tax dollar. It’s a political decision – same as Gordon Campbell getting rid of photo radar, which was one of those things that was very popular with the public.” Civic leaders are riled by the government’s vow to bring in the auditor-general to help police spending by municipalities and regional districts. Most are not appeased by provincial promises that the municipal AG’s recommendations will be non-binding, that the office won’t meddle with civic policy, and that the costs would be borne by Victoria. Just like the majority of delegates at UBCM, MacLean feels the planned watchdog on waste would itself be a

waste of money. “[Premier Christy Clark] went through all of the things they weren’t going to do and at the end of the list, what’s left is absolutely no reason for the decision,” said MacLean. He believes an auditor-general would only download more work onto already overworked city staff. Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin agrees that the auditor-general position is political, but is willing to let the province look at the district’s books. “I know our processes and the rigour that it goes through. As far as value for money, we do a pretty good job,” said Daykin. A handful of delegates at the convention spoke in support of a municipal auditorgeneral, saying cities should have nothing to fear from a new tool for taxpayer transparency. “I’m not scared of a municipal auditorgeneral for our cities and I don’t see why anybody else should be,” Colwood Mayor Dave Saunders said. The resolution adopted Thursday calls the auditor-general’s office unnecessary, but endorses the UBCM executive’s policy paper on how to try to shape the outcome. A municipal auditorgeneral was promised by Premier Clark in her leadership campaign. Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong says the auditor-general will not duplicate audits of municipal books that are already required, but will compare performance of local governments to determine best practices on major projects funded by senior governments.

Under construction near city hall, the bigger and brighter library will occupy the second floor of a building in Solaris at Meadows Gate, a development by RG Properties at the corner of Harris and Ford roads. Director of Finance Dean Rear said the city will be taking control of the space soon, then setting it up. “It is a little bit behind schedule. But we still fully expect to be in there and doing our fitup in the fourth quarter and be ready to go either by the end of the year or the New Year with a new space.” The library will feature both new and old. Wood from the Park family barn will be used on columns in the main area and wood carvings will grace its walls. The relocation will allow the library to almost

Meanwhile, apartments in the first two towers of the Solaris development are nearly sold-out. President and CEO of RG Properties Ltd. Graham Lee said there are only 15 left. “We are very happy with the way the first two towers have gone and they’ve almost com-
pleted the second phase, which will house the library,” he added. The office space above the library is also nearly sold out, but RG Properties is not yet ready to reveal who some of those tenants may be. “We’ve got some good tenancies going on the ground floor, as well, which will really liven up that area,” Lee said. The third Solaris tower will be going ahead, but no date has been set for when construction
will begin. The company is waiting for the last few units in its first two towers to be sold before it begins work on the third phase. “We are in the planning process,” said Lee, adding that the third tower will remain 10-storeys tall, but there may be some redesign to the units inside based on feedback RG Properties has received from buyers in the first two phases.

(Top) Shelley Kuris and her children (Jack, Silver and Liam) received a surprise when they returned home to Whonnock from a week in Disneyland on Sunday. The widowed mother of three was selected by the Home Team, a non-profit community outreach organization, to receive the vacation and some much needed repairs to the family’s house. Dozens of volunteers took a week to complete the renovations, which included a new kitchen, garage and exterior, as well as an addition to a bedroom and a soccer field – named after Sam Kuris, who died in a workplace accident in January.

Leisure Centre back in business
The e
staff reporter After three weeks of downtime, the Leisure Centre is up and running keeping Maple Ridge residents happy and healthy with the completion of renovations. They include those to the men and women’s pool change rooms, a wider door to the family change room and two offices for wheelchair access, new partitions in women’s pool change room, an upgraded elevator cab, to name a few of the projects. The new tiles in the change rooms will last longer than 30 years, facilities manager Michael Millward told council. The department is still trying to figure out what to do with the 53 “Smartie” shaped fibreglass insulated sounddampening devices that hang from the roof over the pools. They’re intended to reduce echoing and sound in the noisy area and make it easier for staff and lifeguards to hear any calls, but had to be taken down because of safety concerns after the fasteners used to suspend them reached their lifespan. Coun. Al Hogarth wanted to know if the arts community could use them while Coun. Mike Morden suggested a new way of fastening them could allow their re-use. Staff, however, will consider all the latest strategies for sound dampening. The rooftop solarthermal panels and the heat-reclaiming system installed a few years ago is saving about $70,000 in yearly heating costs at the Leisure Centre.

The ‘Smarties’ – sound dampening devices – have been taken down at the pool. forts are directed at vacant buildings or lots, not occupied buildings with landlords and tenants. The lot on 203rd Street and Dewdney Trunk Road “has become quite overgrown and it’s messy and everything. I don’t think a significant corner like that should be impacted
with somebody living outside the community not keeping the lot clear and clean of debris.” She added she wanted the same approach applied throughout the district and said people in western Maple Ridge want the same standards as required in the downtown. Hogarth agreed the district sometimes has
to get tough, but that having a pro-active approach could prevent a building from becoming derelict and pointed out it has become expensive demolishing a building, noting they now have to almost be taken apart piece by piece.

Al Hogarth, though, suggested any measures include a proactive approach working with property owners. “There has to be some support here rather than just slapping on a ‘clean it up, or else’ situation,” he said.

A man charged with second-degree murder in the death of another man found near a grocery store in Maple Ridge two years ago has pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Andrew Edwin Robert Leach admitted to the lesser offence in New Westminster Supreme Court last Friday, but had initially pleaded not guilty and elected for a trial. The plea deal was agreed to after Crown reviewed the available evidence. “Following an assessment of the defence available to the accused and the evidence that was called at the preliminary hearing, the Crown concluded that the evidence did not provide a substantial likelihood of conviction on a murder charge,” said Neil MacKenzie, a spokesperson for the criminal justice branch, which oversees criminal prosecutions in B.C. After the review, Crown felt it would not be possible to establish “the required level of intent” for a murder conviction, agreeing to a plea on the lesser charge instead. Leach was charged with second-degree murder on Sept. 30., 2009, five days after the body of James William Ball was found at a Safeway in the 20200-block of Lougheed Highway by a delivery driver around 6:15 a.m. Ball, who had the nickname ‘Chief’, was lying in the loading dock area, bleeding from significant stab wounds. The 43-year-old Maple Ridge man was transported to Ridge Meadows Hospital, where he died. RCMP later determined that Ball and Leach had both been at Club Climax, on 207th Street, that night. The strip club is just a few blocks from Safeway. Police said the murder was not linked to drugs, gangs or organized crime, but a dispute between the men. Leach, 28, has been in custody since he was charged with murder two years ago. Sentencing is set for November.

Old homes recycled to make way for park Will feature exercise equipment, pond by Phi l M elnyc h u k staff reporter On a quiet part of 222nd Street, just north of downtown, excavators have ripped up lawns and driveways and ground up the concrete foundations of five old homes. In their place next year will be new lawns, landscaping, pathways, trees and grass, a fitness station, playground equipment and a small basketball court so people in the inner city will have a place to relax or exercise. It’s the District of Maple Ridge’s latest park, at 120th Avenue, and it hasn’t yet got a name, but it’s one that will bring some green space where there are growing numbers of condo dwellers. While the end result will be green, so too is much of the demolition process. The majority of what used to be the old houses will be recycled, said Bruce McLeod, parks manager for Maple Ridge. “The contractor is separating the material so that when he loads the wood debris … up to 85 per cent is being recycled,” he added. “So, really, when they do the demolition here, all the house can be recycled.” When beginning the tear-down, the insulation and any hazardous material, such as asbestos, was first safely removed. Next, the homes were stripped of their metal contents, such as wiring and plumping pipes. Vinyl or plastic was next, followed by drywall, which was pulled down from the walls and hauled away separately for recycling into more drywall. The old window frames were taken out and could be sold to a second-hand building material store. That left the empty, wood frames standing, ready for the bulldozer, which mowed them down and put them into piles ready for shipment to a nearby mill, where the scrap lumber will be turned into hog fuel and used for heating greenhouses. Even the concrete foundations were crushed on site and will be used as base material for parts of the park, McLeod said. That process spares having to
haul them away and dumping them somewhere. Given the fees for disposing of waste, the above practices now are common on most demolition sites, McLeod said. “Most demolition [companies] today are looking for the opportunity to recycle material.” Most of the downtown
site is now cleared, with only a few piles of the pulverized concrete foundations remaining. That will allow work to start on constructing the $310,000 park that should be done within a year. An existing ditch on the site will be redesigned into a wetland pond that will drain into a nearby stream. The district also has
other lots on the north side of 121st Avenue designated as park, but has only bought one of them. The remaining few lots will be acquired over time if the owners decide to sell them to the district, to allow expansion of the park.

Being a caregiver, 24 hours a day I
t doesn’t matter whether you are a parent, or a caregiver to a parent, one of the greatest challenges faced in either of those Parenting roles is the fact that you Graham Hookey are on duty 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Naturally, the burden of that duty depends largely on the independence of the child or the elderly. We often refer to the elderly as being in their second childhood as a result of the changes they go through as they become less independent. Indeed, in everything from sleep patterns to bodily functions, age has a way of bringing us full circle to our existence as a baby. As any parent of a baby will recall, it’s pretty exhausting being the sole person on whom the responsibility of child care falls. Of course, in most cases, there is a partner to help, although the distribution of work may not necessarily be even. In elder care, the family caregiver generally is alone in meeting the needs of a spouse or parent. And if carrying around an infant seems
physically draining at times, try lifting and moving a full-grown adult. Perhaps more demanding in elder care, from a psychological perspective, is the understanding that things are not going to get better. A parent can look forward to greater independence of a child, but someone in elder care recognizes pretty quickly that the challenges are going to get even greater and the need for their support is only going to increase. The time frame is often indeterminable. I listened painfully, recently, to a woman who told me that in a family of five children, she is the only one who is able to support the increasing needs of her aging and faltering mother. Although she is happy to be in such a position to help, she is also trying to balance the demands of a full-time job, her own family and the needs of her mother. Her days off work are spent at her mother’s, working just as hard. Most difficult, she said, is the fact that she simply cannot find time to rest and recover herself. I have heard this from numerous people who end up being the primary caregiver to aging parents or spouses. It is difficult to find personal time for rest and relaxation. Naturally, this is most challenging for aging spouses, who, themselves, are struggling
with energy levels, yet find themselves working harder to support their loved one. Family physicians are well aware that a caregiving spouse or child is almost at as much risk as the person who needs the care. They are quick to remind the caregivers that they must take care of themselves, as well, since their faltering health would certainly not make things any easier.
Family physicians are well aware that a caregiving spouse or child is almost at as much risk as the person who needs the care.
Without a supportive network of relatives, friends and social programs, that suggestion is a lot easier made than achieved. Many caregivers just get on with what they know must be done and are grateful for the few moments of support they might get from others. Graham Hookey is an educational and parenting writer (ghookey@yahoo.com).

B
orn in Dublin, Ireland, David passed away in Maple Ridge surrounded by his family on September 23, 2011.

David was a pioneer in business who continually created new ways to serve his clients. He was devoted to making the world a better place one person at a time. David showed that the power of co-operation and great service was the best way to build a successful business.
David was inspired by the writings of the likes of Earl Nightingale “Lead the Field”, Norman Vincent Peale “The Power of Positive Thinking”, Og Mandino “Secrets

Rooftop decks sometimes a better plan than a backyard
Outdoor spaces still usable for fall Even if the weather wasn’t as nice as we could have hoped, there was no shortage of people enjoying the outdoors this summer. While many could be found on restaurant patios or the beaches around the Lower Mainland, some were enjoying the sunshine on their very own rooftop deck. Many new home developments are including rooftop decks in their plans, responding to a demand for outdoor space without having to leave the comfort of your own home. With space sometimes at a premium, it is more useful to have a deck on the roof than it is to have a backyard. The rooftop deck at Aragon Properties’ Flow at Port Royal “is so tranquil and wideopen,” says Aragon Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan.
With views of the Fraser River and a fireplace, the decks are usable year-round. Azura Management’s Aviva on the Park in Port Coquitlam also boasts its own rooftop spaces at their townhomes, giving residents a bit of extra space for entertaining or relaxing. For the ultimate in luxury, Adera’s Ultima at Pacific Spirit includes private rooftop lanais perfect for adding a hot tub. The lanais are the best place to check out the stunning views of the University of British Columbia. Many developments include a rooftop deck as an amenity, including Barber Creek Development’s Edgewater in Surrey and Intergulf Development’s Kits360 in Vancouver. Edgewater’s deck includes an outdoor pool. It’s doubtful anyone will regret owning a place with a deck, no matter what the weather.
‘Where sculpture meets structure’
Central rises above Vancouver skyline by Kerry Vital
Onni’s Central in southeast False Creek is aiming to be an integral part of Vancouver’s skyline. With its original architecture and attention to detail, that is no long-shot goal. “You would be hard-pressed to see something like this again,” says Onni sales manager Nick Belmar. “It’s where sculpture meets structure ... We wanted to make it a landmark for Vancouver.” Central is unlike every other residential building that came before it. Instead of the typical tower and podium approach, meaning a tower surrounded by a base of commercial space or townhomes, one residential tower is turned on its side. Onni calls it the Skybridge. “We are very proud of what they’ve done,” says Belmar. “The defining feature is absolutely the Skybridge ... it’s phenomenal.” “So many of the downtown towers have been built in a very short time, and so they have become a sea of sameness. With the design of Central, we wanted something that would rise above the too-often dull waters of the
sea,” says architect Bruce Haden of DIALOG. The building will feature two towers, one that will hold office and retail space, and the other residential, topped by the Skybridge, which is set at an angle to maximize light and views of the water, city and mountains. A courtyard features a reflecting pool set into a half-acre park area. Homes are available in one-bedroom, twobedroom and penthouse plans, ranging from 515 to 1,500 square feet, many with attached balconies or patios. The penthouses also include a terrace. But the architecture isn’t the only thing attracting buyers. Belmar says about half of the 304 homes have been sold, and the high-quality finishings and proximity to everything Vancouver has to offer keeps bringing potential buyers in droves. One of the popular features at
Central is the full-sized appliances, which are a rarity in the condo market. Other features include Europeanmade commercial-grade wide-plank laminate flooring in the living areas, and Berber-style carpeting in the bedrooms and walk-in closets. Foodies are able to choose between honed natural stone or composite countertops, with a breakfast bar overhang in most homes. Europeaninspired cabinetry with a rift-cut oak veneer face is standard, fitting in seamlessly with the modern overheight tile backsplash and stainlesssteel under-mounted sink. Bathrooms at Central are made for luxury, including porcelain floor tile and an oversized vanity mirror for all your grooming needs. A separate deep soaker tub with tiled front is ready for every bubble bath, and the glass shower enclosure includes a mosaic-tiled base and high-gloss tile from floor to ceiling. All of this combines with the solid composite stone countertops with a matching backsplash to become the perfect ode to relaxation. Belmar is not exaggerating when he says how close to everything Central is.
The SeaWall, recently voted as the best public space in Canada, is just steps away, while a water taxi or the Aquabus is ready to whisk you across False Creek to Granville Island, Yaletown or the West End. Shopping, restaurants and every other service you could possibly need are close by, making Central the perfect neighbourhood hub. Owners will have access to a 7,000 square-foot wellness centre that includes a fitness centre, yoga studio and a steam and sauna room. A dining room with a professional kitchen will also be available for residents looking to host a party, and a games room, lounge/entertainment area and theatre are also included. Finally, owners will have the use of a quiet study room and a rooftop garden terrace with plots available for growing your own food. Belmar warns potential homebuyers that they must not wait to buy a home at Central. “I tell them regardless of where, you must get into this building. You won’t be disappointed.” Buyers will be able to take residence in 2014. Homes start at $347,900. For more information visit www. ownatcentral.com or call 604-682-8801.
“
The defining feature is absolutely the Skybridge,” says Onni sales manager Nick Belmar.

THE NEWS/home&gardening Perennials blooming to the bitter end I
am pretty sure that my days of cycling after work are coming to an abrupt end. It might be the monsoon-like rains, the everdiminishing daylight or the sudden flurry of road construction on 232nd Street, but something is putting a damper on my two-wheeled karma. Gardening Still, as I savor these Mike Lascelle last few evening rides and glance into the many gardens I pass by en route, I can’t help but notice a few diehard perennials that seem to be blooming their hearts out despite the miserable weather and cooler temperatures. Their persistence almost makes me want to get a bike light and don the rain gear to extend my own cycling season, but then I remember the punishing spray that blasts you with every passing SUV or minivan (the much-preferred means of transportation in Maple Ridge). Then that noble, but impractical notion quickly dies.
Mike Lascelle photos
(From left) Aster novi-belgii ‘Hazy’; Eupatorium purpureum subsp. maculatum ‘Gateway’; Rudbeckia ‘Herbstsonne’. borne terminally, making a nice contrast against those few clear blue sky days – these have drooping petals and complimenting green to gold central cones. This is a good choice to use in combination with warm-season grasses such as Miscanthus sinensis or Japanese Silver Grass, as they are both in their prime during the late season. Place these tall perennials in fence corners, towards the back of mixed borders or right beside elevated decks – so you can walk right up to the flowers. One last hint with this particular plant is to not give it too fertile a soil (or over-fertilize), as you will only end up having to stake it. • Eupatorium purpureum (subsp. maculatum) – If I could change one thing about this plant, it would be the common name, as no one wants to buy something called ‘JoePye Weed’, and frankly I can’t blame them. It takes a lot of explaining on my part to convince potential buyers that this is a very garden-worthy specimen perennial. Not only is it a butterfly magnet in the early part of its blooming season (flowers from August to October), but it also makes an interesting cut flower for those of you arranging on a larger scale. There are several good choices here:
Their persistence almost makes me want to get a bike light and don the rain gear to extend my own cycling season.
But that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying a few of these bold autumn-flowering perennials in your own garden, even if you only get to appreciate them from inside a picture window with a hot mug of tea or coffee in hand. With this in mind, here are a few selections that you should be able to find at your local garden centre: • Rudbeckia ‘Herbstsonne’ (syn.’ Autumn Sun’) – This is the Godzilla of Coneflowers, easily growing two to 2.5m tall and forming impressive, long-lived clumps. With our cooler spring this year I’ve noticed that local plantings have only been in full bloom for three to four weeks now. The bright chrome yellow daisies are
• ‘Atropurpureum’ – the tallest cultivar (2.5 to 3.3m) with spotted stems and large rosepurple terminal flowers; • ‘Gateway’ – a compact form (rated at 1.6 to 2m, but often growing taller) with reddish-purple stems and big rosy-purple blossoms; • ‘Little Joe’ (E. dubium) – a miniature cultivar (one to 1.3m tall) to grow in large containers or in urban gardens with limited space; • ‘Bartered Bride’ – a white-flowered form, growing 2 to 2.5m tall. This species has recently undergone a botanical name change, so in the near future you may hear it referred to as Eutrochium. • Aster novi-belgii – too many of us have had a bad experience with asters, either by overcrowding them into planters (where they rot) or accepting a few free plants from a neighbour and watching them grow tall and flop over, just as they come into bloom. These perennials are best grown in mass (use at least three plants) in the foreground of full sun borders, with evenly moist (but not wet soil). Asters will naturally stretch when grown in fertile conditions, so if you are having problems with leggy plants, be sure to pinch
them back by mid-June. My other advice when purchasing asters is to stick to named varieties (with the height and spread printed on the label) as opposed to the slightly cheaper generic pots, as almost all retail asters are treated with growth regulators and there’s no guessing how tall those no-name varieties will grow. A couple of good newer varieties include ‘Hazy’ (vibrant hot pink single blooms) and ‘Believer’ (deep lavender blue flowers with contrasting yellow center). As with Eupatorium, some of the asters have been reclassified, so sooner or later you’ll find Aster novi-belgii has been replaced by much more complicated Symphyotrichum novi-belgii. Mike Lascelle is a local nursery manager and gardening author (hebe_acer@hotmail.com).

Higher tipping fees for organic waste by J eff Nagel Black Press
Aging Gracefully Speaker Series Challenges of Being a Caregiver to an Aging Parent Whether caring for your aging parent has come on you suddenly due to parental injury or illness, or is a role you have been gradually assuming, this is often a daunting task. This workshop will explore some potential challenges such as changes in roles, sibling relationships and being stuck in the middle between oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents and children. In the face of these stressors, it is vital that caregivers take care of their own physical and mental health. Participants will gain an understanding of how certain messages, demands or beliefs can contribute to stress and burnout. They will also learn how to recognize the signs of burnout, and discover ways to deal with caregiver stress.

Please register at 604â&#x20AC;&#x201C;786â&#x20AC;&#x201C;7404 or e-mail: htreleaven@shaw.ca Lori Kelly is a Support and Education Coordinator at the Alzheimer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Fraser (Burnaby) Resource Centre. She has over twenty years experience in the non-proďŹ t health sector, including over nine years with Alzheimer Society of B.C. and is passionately committed to supporting people on the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey.
Metro Vancouver plans to add stiff surcharges to tipping fees on garbage loads containing kitchen scraps and other soonto-be-banned organic waste. The extra charges are part of Metro Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy to steer compostable food and yard waste from the garbage to new organic waste processors that will turn the material into compost or biofuel.
Surcharges would start at 10 per cent in 2012 and climb to an extra 50 per cent by 2015, according to a staff report. Households and businesses wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t directly pay the fees on what they put out to the curb or dumpster. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected the haulers who do pay will ďŹ nd ways to pass the costs along and enforce the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planned ban on organics disposal, spurring residents to use green bins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to ease in that ban so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an
overnight trigger,â&#x20AC;? said Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, who chairs Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waste committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That starts to provide ďŹ nancial incentives to municipalities or private sector haulers to change their operations.â&#x20AC;? He said Metro still plans consultations ahead of the expected ban on organic dumping for single-family homes by the end of 2012 and for all other homes and businesses by 2015. Adjustments to the strategy are possible, he said, including the
Everything you need... in one building
allowed tolerances at which surcharges would be triggered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have ďŹ ve per cent contamination maybe you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get charged, but if you have 20 per cent maybe you get charged more,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. Removing an estimated 265,000 tonnes of organics from the waste stream is a corner stone of Metro Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to boost the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recycling rate from 55 per cent to 70 per cent by 2015, and 80 per cent by 2020.

Healthy Forests Healthy Communities Fraser Valley Community Dialogue Session A wide range of knowledgeable forest leaders are raising the question of the future of BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forests and the potential impact on families and communities. The people of BC rely on forests to fulďŹ ll a wide range of needs, from recreation to resources, from employment to clean air and water. Community Dialogue Sessions across the Province will constructively explore the expressed needs of concerned citizens, helping to determine if current management practices enable local forests to satisfy their public purpose. Constructive Sessions are intended as constructive dialogue and not a forum for complaints. Outcomes from these dialogue sessions will be used to inform a future forest vision, provided to senior decision-makers as a recommended guide for resources management in BC. As part of the Healthy Forests - Healthy Communities Initiative, the Canadian Institute of Forestry and the UBC Faculty of Forestry are sponsoring a Community Dialogue Session on: Date:...........Wednesday, October 5, 2011 Time:..........7:00 - 9:30pm Location:...Mission Leisure Centre, Room 4, 7650 Grand Street This is an ideal forum to send or emphasize your message to managers TODAY on what forest lands management in the Fraser Valley and BC needs to ensure the health of your family and community. Plus, hear about the Healthy Forests - Healthy Communities initiative and the views of Ken Zielke, MSc, RPF on the need for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Forest Management Charter for BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; For more information visit http://bcforestconversation.com Direct enquiries to info@bcforestconversation.com Serving Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows since 1978

Titans down Pitt to take Alouette Bowl
James Maclennan/THE NEWS
Pitt Meadows quarterback Jacob Gowler just gets off a pass as a Titans’ defensive linesman bears down on him.
Titans defence shuts out Marauders in annual tilt by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter For the second year in a row, the Samuel Robertson Technical Secondary School Titans bested the Pitt Meadows Marauders in the annual match-up between the two rival high school junior varsity football programs. The Titans ground attack was too much for the injury-riddled Marauders to contain as they ran away with a 25-0 victory at Pitt Meadows secondary Wednesday
afternoon. “This was a big win for us,” said SRT head coach Tom Levesque. “This is a great rivalry and we’ve been pumping up the guys all week for this game.” The first half saw Pitt give up a pair of turnovers, which cost the team dearly. The Titans defence managed to pin Pitt deep in their end zone when Austin McAllister stripped the ball and ran it back for a Titans touchdown. Pitt recovered and drove the ball downfield only to fumble the ball, which was then recovered by the Titans. “That really changed the momentum of the game for us,” said
Levesque. The Titans had a chance to put a second touchdown on the board late in the second quarter deep in Marauders territory, but were thwarted by Pitt’s defence. With just a seven-point lead at the half, Levesque said it was still anyone’s game. “If it wasn’t for those turnovers, it could have been a very different story,” he said. The Titans pounded the Marauders defence with run after run in the second half. In all, the Titans ran more than 20 plays along the ground in the second without attempting a single pass. The Titans didn’t waste any time either, as they scored on the open-
ing possession with a five-play, 57yard drive to score. Pitt managed to block the convert, but on the ensuing possession, went three an out and had to punt the ball away. SRT took the ball from their own 38-yard line, and put together an 11-play drive, resulting in their third touchdown of the game. After an incomplete pass on a two-point conversion, the Titans defence went to work again, forcing the Marauders to go three and out once more. The Titans put together another grinding drive, scoring a touchdown on their third possession in a row. “They were giving us the middle all day, so we exploited it,” said Levesque. Tyrell Ogloff had two touchdowns for the Titans, while Zach Tripp-Buchanan and Austin McAllister also tallied major scores. Tripp-Buchanan rushed for 168 yards, while Ogloff ran for 130. The Titans defence smothered the Marauders in the second half, not allowing them a single first down. Defensive coach and former B.C. Lion Josh Bean said he was impressed by his team’s hard work in the trenches. “Our linebackers made some big tackles,” he said. “They worked hard and they executed well.” However, a rash of concussions on the Marauders roster may have
played a significant role in the game’s outcome. “I think if they had a full bench this would have been a much closer game,” said Levesque after the game. The Marauders were without four of their starting running backs, and three of their starting linebackers due to injury. “We have a roster of 34 players and we could only dress 20 today,” said Pitt coach Kris Little. “Our starting running back had never played running back before yesterday.” To make matters worse, the team’s top receiver, Justin Tweedy, broke his arm last week. “He’s had an 80- and an 85-yard reception so far this season, and now he’s out for the season,” Little said. “I’m not making excuses, SRT played a great game, they really did, but having those guys in the line up could have really made a difference.” Thankfully, all of Pitt’s injured players, save Tweedy, will be ready for action next week as the Marauders take on the Langley Saints. Heading into the third week of league play, both the Marauders and the Titans sit with 1-1 records. The Titans next face Abbotsford’s Robert Bateman secondary this Wednesday in their home opener at Rotary Field in Maple Ridge. Game time is 3:30 p.m.

The Ridge Meadows Flames fell to 0-3 this season after a 9-2 loss Wednesday in Aldergrove to the Kodiaks. The local junior B hockey team doubled its goal total from its first two games, but could not keep the puck out of its own net as Aldergrove feasted on rookie goalie Jordan Eggert in his first start of the regular season. The Flames got on the board first with a goal from Terence Trusdale late in the first period. Ridge managed to hold on to the lead until the sixth min-
Maple Ridge Ridge’s Keanna Mason carded an even-par 72 to win the girls’ competition at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s MJT British Columbia Fall One-Day Series at Pitt Meadows Golf Club on Saturday. Mason, 15, beat out Lily He, 12, of Pitt Meadows, who came

put three pucks past him on 13 shots. The Kodiaks out-shot the Flames 49-35 on the night, while shelling Ridge Meadows 23-9 in the third period alone. The Flames now find themselves in the basement of the Pacific International Junior Hockey League standings and are still looking for their first win of the season. The Flames hope to right the ship tonight (Friday) at home at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge against the Richmond Sockeyes. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

The Kodiaks potted a pair later in the period before Dean Gilmore scored to keep the Flames within a goal with the score 3-2. However, it was all Kodiaks from then on. Aldergrove scored late in the second, and then twice in the first five minutes of the final frame to put them ahead 6-2. Eggert was pulled in favour of veteran netminder Tyler Klassen, who didn’t fare much better, as the Kodiak were able to
finished in second place with a round of 74. Brooklyn Kraakman, 17, of Deroche, took third with a round of 77. “It was a great way to end the year with a win,” said Mason. “My plans for the off-season are to try to practice as much as possible and really focus on my school work.” Oscar Baek of Coquitlam
notched his third Boys 14-16 Division title on the Maple Leaf Junior Tour this season, firing an incredible round of 67, which included eight birdies. Baek also claimed the low overall score for the tournament by just one stroke, as fellow Coquitlam resident, Steven Diack, 19, shot a 68 to win the Boys 17-19 Division title See Golf, p46

SCHMIDT, Dolores Marlene passed away in Ridge Meadows Hospital at the age of 76 years after a valiant battle with cancer. She will be dearly and sadly missed by her sisters Myrna Schmidt and Donna White, both residing in Maple Ridge. Cremation and no memorial at her request. Thank you to all that cared for and helped Dolores during her difficult time.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Maureen on September 26, 2011. She is survived by her loving friend Marie Glendinning and her family; brother Neil (Donna) Burrows, sister Diane (Ted) Kennedy, sister in law Louise Burrows also nieces and nephews; Sandy, Leah, Trina, Jennifer, Aaron, Daina & great nieces and nephews; Kass, Julia, Kyla, Daisy, Paige, Cameron, & Reece, and many cousins and friends. Maureen was a very loving and outgoing person. She has many friends all over the world, as she enjoyed traveling by air, water or land. If someone was going on a trip, Maureen wanted to go too. She was like her mother in that respect “a bit of gypsy in her soul.” Her love of life lead her in many directions, and as she went she collected more and more friends. Maureen will be sadly missed in the future by many, many people and remembered fondly with great love.

“Going on another adventure”
McNALLY Graedon William Harry Age 14, of Mission, B.C. passed away on September 24, 2011 at B.C. Children’s Hospital after an eleven year battle with leukemia. Graedon was born in Mission in February 1997 to Grant and Wendy McNally. He loved life, his family, his friends and most importantly, Jesus. Graedon was a strong, quiet and courageous young man whose life impacted more people than he could ever imagine. His last week was spent with his good friends and family before he left us so suddenly. Graedon fought the good fight, took the hand of Jesus and we are comforted by the fact that he will never again face any pain, sorrow or tears. Graedon is predeceased by his grand father William Holland McNally and will be lovingly remembered by his mother Wendy and his father Grant, his sisters Jordana, Reanne and Kaelin, his grandparents Harry and Susan Klassen (Altona, Manitoba), Evangeline McNally (Coquitlam), Uncles and Aunts: Greg and Wendy McNally (Coquitlam), Lynn and Les Moyer (Coquitlam), Russ and Gladys Klassen (Rosenfeld, Manitoba), Nancy and Barry Dueck (Winkler, Manitoba), Cheryl and Glenn Wallace (Mission), his cousins from Coquitlam and Manitoba, and his best friends Zach Wallace, Levi Watson, Dean Chiasson, Andrew Dudas, and so many more. Those wishing to pay their respects, a viewing will be held at Woodlawn Mission Funeral Home, 7386 Horne Street on Friday, September 30th from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 1st at 2:00 p.m. at Maple Ridge Baptist Church, 22115 Lougheed Hwy. We extend an invitation to all who would like to attend the celebration of his life. We would like to thank Dr. Jeff Davis and Lucy Turnham and the entire nursing staff of the oncology clinic and cancer ward (3B) for their wonderful care of Graedon over the past eleven years.

KLITCH, Linda Louise Mary (nee Zurowski) Some are remembered for their contributions to community. (Linda Klitch, 60, happened to be one of those). Many others are remembered for personal accolades on paper and brass (Linda, Business Woman of the Year, had too many to count). But only one will be remembered as the “Margarita Mom” as she spent many a weekend with her adoring family in her beloved Shuswap, whenever she left the city for her home away from home. Born and raised in Prince Albert, Sask., Linda made a name for herself opening fashion boutiques and raising her children. By the time she moved to advertising sales – and to Kamloops, B.C. – Linda had begun to win what would turn into a lifetime of awards. She later became sales manager of Kamloops This Week, and eventually publisher, and in 2000 moved to the Semiahmoo Peninsula to become Peace Arch News publisher. Linda’s contributions to the White Rock/ South Surrey area are legendary, having volunteered for Peace Arch News Vintage Affair, Community of Lights Event Society and Spirit of the Sea Festival, as well as her work with WRSS Community Foundation, all in the name of improving the quality of life for residents. On Sept. 26, 2011, Linda passed away, after complications from surgery. She is pre-deceased by her father, August Zurowski, and survived by her mother, Bea, siblings Louise, Cyril and Lorraine, and beloved husband David Klitch, whom she married in 2005. She is remembered as the “world’s greatest mom” by Clark Hooton (Lisa), Amber Hooton (Chris), Preston Hooton (Lindsay), Denver Hooton (Mickel) and Tyler Klitch (Jen), and as a lover of all things family, by grandchildren Beckett, Noa, Anika and Meredith, and many nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Life in honour of Linda will be held Saturday, Oct. 1 at Hazelmere Golf Course (18150 8 Ave., Surrey), 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, her family requests donations be made to the Linda Klitch Legacy Fund, care of the WRSSCF (email info@wrsscf.org or call 778-292-1367). As well, one of Linda’s last wishes was to encourage her friends – whom she cherished – to donate blood.
