Woman attacked downtown Businesses concerned, weren’t notified by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter A woman was attacked by a man behind the business where she works in downtown Maple Ridge early Monday. Around 7:15 a.m., the woman was taking garbage to a dumpster in the parking lot at the back of

the store, located in the 22300 block of Lougheed Highway, when she was grabbed by a man. Insp. Dave Fleugel said the man tackled the woman to the ground. “She was able to defend herself, and the suspect quickly ran off,” he added. The woman was not injured. Police are still looking for her assailant, who escaped along Lougheed Highway. Businesses nearby by claim they were not in-

formed by police about the early morning attack. Curves, which opened at 6 a.m., had no knowledge a woman had been targeted. Cindy Panagiotou, with Deﬁance Body Studio, was also unnerved. “That’s scary. We should have been told,” she said. The suspect is described as a dark-skinned man with dirty brown, scruffy hair. He had a moustache, a slim build and was wearing a navy blue rain coat. Police are asking for any-

one who saw a man running along Lougheed Highway between 223nd Street, 222nd Streets and Selkirk Avenue around 7:15 a.m. on Oct. 17 to call investigators at 604-463-6251.

Tragedy closes tracks A suicide shut down the railway tracks in Maple Ridge for a few hours Monday evening. Police said the incident began around 6:20 p.m. with a vehicle collision

along River Road and ended with a 22-year-old man taking his own life. The man was killed after running in front of a West Coast Express train. “This was a traumatic event. Ridge Meadows RCMP have ruled out foul play, and are investigating this as a suicide in cooperation with the B.C. Coroners Service,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop. West Coast Express transferred passengers on to a bus to Mission.

A young man was arrested after two teens were stabbed at a home in east Maple Ridge Saturday night. Police received multiple calls about an incident in the 11000-block of 237th Street, near Kanaka Way, at 9:50 p.m. One of the teens – 17 and 18 years old – was taken to hospital by helicopter with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police. He and the other teen are expected to recover. A police dog was brought in to search the area. A 19-year-old man was arrested, but has been released from police custody on a promise to appear in court at a later date. Police do not believe it was a random attack.

Nathan Allen travelled from Delta to say his piece. “I just want to say this inspires me greatly,” he bellowed, pausing for a moment to look over the crowd below him who had gathered for the first day of the Occupy Vancouver protest. “It is incredible moment seeing all these people united in one purpose.” A Dene woman, from Northern Alberta, spoke of how her land has been destroyed by tar sands projects and paved over for a trailer park. She ended her speech with a pointed, but profane rap.

In a line that snaked up and around the steps of the art gallery on Georgia Street, the young and old, able and disabled, employed and unemployed were all given a chance to speak.

scanning the crowd around him. “I think it’s important to be here, whether you agree with what is happening or disagree, it is happening and we need to understand why it is happening.” Inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City a month ago, the Occupy Vancouver protest began Saturday with a march through the city’s downtown core and grew to 4,000 people at its peak. The protests are inspired by a grass roots movement against global financial inequality and corporate greed that has now spread to more than 80 countries. The message: “We are the 99 per cent who will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the one per cent.” While the timing and form of the movement was not predicted, Simon Fraser University history professor Mark Leier believes it was clear some kind of protest was developing, and necessary. “We’ve seen wages and jobs and living standards leak away for 30 years. Entire generations have been told to suck it up, believe in the market, trust the old political parties, and have received little in return. The anger and frustration were entirely predictable,” Leier said. “What matters now is whether these spontaneous movements can make strategic links with organized groups, especially the labour movement, and whether the pressure on business and politicians can be directed to clear ends and means.” The protesters are doing just that – volunteers are committed to “an inclusive and welcoming space” and “an environment where all the 99 per cent can be heard and can meaningfully participate.” The B.C. Federation of Labour is supporting the protests and Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, a former Goldman Sachs investment banker, also endorsed them.

While there are no announcements for Maple Ridge in the TransLink package, approving it means the district will still get its $800,000 to $900,000 major road network funding every year, while TransLink is still committed to sharing 50-50 the costs of eventually widening Abernethy Way to 232nd Street. TransLink is also reviewing the West Coast Express service, which could lead to schedule expansion, as it prepares to renegotiate its track leasing deal with Canadian PaciďŹ c Railway.

YOU ARE INVITED TO AN OPEN HOUSE ON

In the early days of the election, Ernie Daykin had a clear path to a second term as mayor of Maple Ridge. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed with newcomer Craig Ruthvenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid for the top spot, announced Wednesday. Daykin isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking the challenge lightly and says the competition will allow him to review what he and his team accomplished in the past three years. When he was elected in 2008, Daykin stressed team building and forming good relationships as necessary to get things done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done that well,â&#x20AC;? he said, citing good relations with the provincial government that resulted in the approval of money to allow completion of the rebuild of 224th Street and Lougheed Highway, and describing that as a major achievement of council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to have a

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the wild card in the whole equation.â&#x20AC;? Daykin also explained his support last week for TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moving Forward plan that calls for an average $23 increase per home in property tax for two years for TransLink if new funding options arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accepted by the provincial government. The deal includes Daykin another two cents a litre on gasoline tax, effective next spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do happen to put some faith in [Transportation] Minister Blair Lekstrom.â&#x20AC;? So far, Daykin said, Lekstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been to three mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meetings, â&#x20AC;&#x153;more than the other two [Shirley Bond and Kevin Falcon] in two and a half years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committed to working hard to get the other long-term funding â&#x20AC;Ś so that we can build a transportation system. Maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m naive, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m putting my faith in that conversation.â&#x20AC;? Daykin believes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still honouring his word when he signed a pledge

team that works together that gets things done.â&#x20AC;? Acquiring lower Jackson Farm at 102nd Avenue and Jackson Road for use as a park in return for allowing development on the upper portion is another task checked off on Daykinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to-do list. As for cleaning up Northumberland Court, the buildings are set to be torn down in a few weeks. Meanwhile, Haney Place Mall is getting a major reďŹ t, anchored by the arrival of Thrifty Foods. When it comes to broadening the tax base by encouraging more industry, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot easier to say it, than do it,â&#x20AC;? said Daykin. But in the past six years, almost a billion dollars of building permits have been issued, he pointed out. Development of Albion ďŹ&#x201A;ats largely will be determined by what the Agricultural Land Commission says about the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tentative proposal, calling for developing most of the land on both sides of 105th Avenue and Lougheed Highway.

I’m a voter because I know that the work that my local Mayor, Council and School Trustees do, not only affects my life today, but will shape the future of my community for my granddaughter.

Election issue As the municipal election races heat up, incumbent politicians and aspiring ones would be well served to remember Paul Reitsma. For those not familiar, the Parksville-Qualicum Liberal MLA was forced to resign in 1998 after it was revealed by a community newspaper that he was writing letters to editors under and assumed name, praising himself while criticizing his political opponents. More than a decade later, the internet and social media have changed the way campaigns are run. Facebook and Twitter, blogs too, are affordable, farreaching alternatives for candidates to spread their messages, unﬁltered. Commenting platforms on media web sites are yet another free alternative, and monitored differently than letters pages. Often, only an email address or web site are needed to establish an account, and writers can use any display name, creating anonymity for commentators. That can lead to some unruly posts, but also frees up dialogue that doesn’t occur in print. That anonymity can also be abused. We hope candidates and their supporters respect the opportunities afforded to them enough to not take unfair advantage of them, but it would be naive to assume all will. We’ve already seen in other markets a mayoral candidate sometimes use his real name as an online handle and other times an assumed one, both under the same IP address. Could someone else be using the same computer? How do you prove that? That is where trust and integrity come into play. We’ll judge as best we can to ﬁlter biased, planted and slanderous comments. But for the most part, we’ll leave the commenting platform on our website open to everyone. The letters page, however, will be closed to candidates until after the elections. We’ll reserve that for voters, to share ideas and discuss issues. We want readers to be informed, to participate in the conversation, to get out and vote on Nov. 19. Hopefully, we’ll end up with well-rounded, responsible governments that help our communities reach their potential, make them better places to live, play and work. It’s OK to disagree, to have competing views. But be thoughtful, informed, and honest. So remember Mr. Reitsma, and if you’re going to say something, put your name to it. – The News Tell us what you think @ mapleridgenews.com

Sign treaties, or ‘shut ’er down’ VICTORIA – Finally, somebody in the B.C. treaty negotiation system has come out and said it. Releasing the B.C. Treaty Commission’s 19th annual report last week, Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre announced she has asked for a one-year extension to B.C. Views Tom Fletcher her term, to see the organization through its second decade. And if things don’t change, particularly in Ottawa, then “shut ’er down.” The commission is the independent “keeper of the process,” and the chief commissioner is appointed by agreement between the federal and provincial governments and B.C.’s First Nations Summit. Its job is to facilitate talks and dole out funds to aboriginal groups researching and negotiating treaties. As of this year, they have disbursed $500 million, $400 million of it loans that must be repaid out of treaty settlements. “We are 19 years into the process, and we have, just on the First Nations side, a half a billion dollar investment, and when are we going to start seeing a return on that investment?” Pierre asked. It’s safe to assume that there has been at least that much spent by the federal and provincial governments, as well. And after a burst of progress with the Tsawwassen and Maa-Nulth treaties, and a controversial deal with the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon, costly inaction resumed.

Sliammon First Nation negotiators finalized a treaty in 2009. Off it went to Ottawa, where it has languished since, waiting for a set of initials that would allow a ratification vote by about 1,000 Sliammon people near Powell River. At stake is a settlement in which B.C. contributes 8,300 hectares of Crown land and Ottawa provides $37 million to compensate for a century of trespass and resource extraction from Sliammon territory. (You can object to all this and try to live in the past, as B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins does, but we now have stacks of high court decisions that make aboriginal title real and inescapable, if not well defined.) Other commissioners agreed with Pierre about Ottawa’s role, including the federal appointee, Jerry Lampert. “The Canadian system is such that they are constantly going back to Ottawa for mandates for their individual negotiators,” Lampert said. “This is bureaucratic, and it plays against the idea that we’re in a real negotiation.” With a majority government in Ottawa, and B.C. MP John Duncan as federal aboriginal affairs minister, there is hope of movement. And there is action on another front. Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq was in B.C. last week to sign an agreement to hand over authority and funding for on-reserve health programs to a new aboriginal authority that will work with the provincial health system directly to administer reserve health programs. This will end a parallel health system run by Ottawa on reserves. A similar agreement was signed in 2006

for aboriginal schooling. Alas, ﬁve years later, there is still wrangling between the First Nations Education Steering Committee and Ottawa over funding. But I’m told there is progress there, with resolution possible by the end of this year. Sto:lo Tribal Chief Doug Kelly, chair of the First Nations Health Council, says its ﬁnancing terms are clear, and dealing Ottawa out of health care delivery will improve outcomes.

(You can object to all this and try to live in the past, as B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins does, but we now have stacks of high court decisions that make aboriginal title real and inescapable, if not well defined.) B.C. Health Minister Mike de Jong and Aboriginal Relations Minister Mary Polak agree that these broader self-government transfers for health and education, along with forest and mining deals, will bring treaties closer. Pierre’s blunt warning must have been heard in Ottawa. It appears the Sliammon treaty has been located and will receive federal blessing this week.

THE NEWS/letters

Plenty of skilled workers to go around EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Issue is productivity, not so much corruption (Letters, Oct. 14). Lately, it seems like every time I open the newspaper and glance at the opinion pages, those who know the least are always speaking the loudest. While I need to get back to work to earn a pittance with a bachelor’s degree, I decided to reply to this letter while the anger is still fresh. A lot of what is being portrayed in the media is centered on individuals in the protest who are focusing on corruption. Unless an individual has physically been a part of these protests, no individuals who are being represented by the protestors or have actually done their research into current economical imbalance they should be writing to a local newspaper, behaving like they know exactly what they’re talking about. The reason why companies cut costs and make cheaper products that they can sell for cheaper prices is because the people who are purchasing their products cannot afford them otherwise. The business of this corporate debauchery has grown into a hideous cycle. With corpoEDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re “We owe our local businesses” (Letters, Oct. 12) I am so tired of hearing how any development outside of the town center, or having big-box stores would ruin all other businesses in

rations always focused on achieving higher and higher year-end proﬁts, they lay off their workers and outsource to different countries in order to cut the costs of producing their products. Big-box stores, which mostly purchase their stock from outsourced companies, are ultimately able to sell their products at a lower cost because someone has lost their job. People purchase from the big-box stores because they sell at a price that they can afford on a lower income. They no longer shop at smaller, more expensive businesses due to this, causing these small businesses to shut down. Those who lose their jobs then end up working at these larger corporations and big-box markets at a parttime minimum wage out of desperation. In the end, these mega-corporations end up making tremendous amounts of money in the short-term, while those who once had stable jobs and income become poorer and poorer. This is why I never shop at big-box stores, no matter how much it dings my income. I will not support poor business practice and cheap products. A cheaper product does not mean a better product. Gone are the days where a refrigerator

would last you over 30 years. It’s a lucky thing if your Swedish-bought furniture doesn’t have to be held together with duct tape after a few months. As an individual who built up their own business from scratch due to this economical fallout (my own future spoiled a week before I graduated when a major corporation laid off 50,000 of its employees in an attempt to make more money, leaving the job market saturated with individuals in my field who carry decades of experience over me), I can say with confidence that any business in which head management is generating billions in pure profit and pays their employees a stone’s throw beyond minimum wage can survive on much, much less. The only thing the economy has a surplus of is deep corporate pockets and plenty of skilled workers to go around. That’s right. Skilled workers. The idea that the majority of those protesting are unskilled is completely false and blatantly ignorant. Most are freshly graduated with various degrees in their chosen field of expertise. Most are also thousands and thousands of dollars in debt. Do you know how much it is to attend postsecondary education these days? Enough to

In retrospect, a lot of the problem lies with the older generation, who are now accusing the younger generation of so much self-entitlement. The elder generation had their heyday generating income during the economical boom after the last world war and helped build up mega-corporations to what they are today. Those who moved toward short-term profit completely destroyed the economy for their children’s children. The baby-boomers won’t (or can’t) retire and allow the younger generation to take over because 60 is no longer ‘old’, or they have fallen into the same financial rut the younger generation has due to corporate greed and can’t afford to. This generation is not unskilled or unwilling to work. They’re just unwilling to drown in educational debt, lost dreams and crushed aspirations with a BA in their back pocket as they serve you coffee at your local burger joint.

businesses – bakeries, coffee shops, delis, restaurants, lawyers ofﬁces, insurance ofﬁces – that appear to be thriving. The notion that big-box stores and small businesses cannot co-exist in the same community is unfounded nonsense.

I moved to Maple Ridge 10 years ago after hearing that Albion was going to be a progressive community and ‘the place’ to live. I believe it’s time to consider moving on. HEATHER HORGAN MAPLE RIDGE

Kanaka haunted house for autism by Colleen Flanagan staff reporter Halloween has always been a holiday favourite for sisters Rachel and Jamie Chalmers. And ever since Rachel’s two boys – Phoenix, 7, and Mattias, 5 – were born with autism, the sisters knew they wanted to do something big, once they had the space. So, four months ago when, Rachel and her spouse bought their ﬁrst house, Rachel and Jamie started saving their money for Halloween. So, this year, the home at 23662 Kanaka Way will be transformed into a spooky mansion to raise money and awareness for autism. “With the purchase of the house and the opportunity to do the Halloween thing, we decided to go all out,”

The old mansion theme will start in the front yard, go through the garage and into the backyard. The sisters have also spent more than $200 on goodies and gifts for

visiting children. “We didn’t want anyone to show up at the door and go home empty handed,” Jamie says. Not only will there be goody bags ﬁlled with chocolate, say the

Request for Proposal

sisters, there will also be goody bags with no candy for children who can’t have sugar, containing spider and ghost-themed rings and necklaces that light up. For those who want to hang out for the evening, there will also be bobbing for apples and a 50/50 draw. Rachel and Jamie are still looking for Halloween-themed props and lighting for their haunted mansion. Anyone wanting to help can contact Jamie at jamiechalmers@hotmail.ca or Rachel at clairedelaluna@live. ca. All money raised from the event will be going to Autism Community Training (ACT), an information and referral service supporting individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families across British Columbia.

Lucky fall for hiker A Maple Ridge man is lucky to be alive after taking a tumble over a waterfall in Golden Ears Provincial Park on Saturday.

The man in his late 40s was attempting to retrieve a set of earmuffs dropped by his hiking companion at the top of the waterfall on Viking Creek when he slipped and fell close to 10 metres, according to

Rick Laing, with Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue. The man suffered cuts and scrapes from the fall, but was able to walk out of the park to a waiting ambulance.

Two men arrested after another assaulted Police arrested two men in Maple Ridge on Friday following an assault that left another man seriously injured. Ridge Meadows RCMP found the badly beaten victim in 21600-block

man to Ridge Meadows Hospital, while police fanned out to search for a pair of suspects. An ofﬁcer with the Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team found the

of Lougheed Highway after receiving a call around 10:30 p.m., informing them about the attack. Paramedics with the B.C. Ambulance Service took the 43-year-old

men at a bus stop on Dewdney Trunk Road 30 minutes later. Both were taken into custody. Police believe alcohol was a factor in the assault and said it appears to be a target-

ed incident. The injured man remains in hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries. Insp. Dave Fleugel said police have recommended charges against a 22-year-old man, who has since been released from custody.

Say, salmon A pink salmon is displayed to a group of people during the annual Return of the Salmon festival at the Kanaka Creek fish fence by 240th Street in Maple Ridge on Sunday.

Northumberland finally coming down staff reporter The buildings are coming down, believe it, in just a few days from now. Maple Ridge council got another update Monday on Northumberland Court from the ﬁre department after another small ﬁre Friday between two of the remaining buildings.

Asbestos has to be removed first. gave the demolition order after an inspection showed the buildings had been entered and wiring wrecked. “The asbestos removal

should be ﬁnished on Wednesday, then the buildings start coming down,” Mayor Ernie Daykin said later. “My hope is by the end

of the month.” NorthumberlandCourt on Fraser Street, also known as the ghetto, has plagued council for years because of crime and building safety issues. Before the four remaining buildings are actually demolished, WorkSafeBC regulations require asbestos to be removed. That was in the ﬂoor tiles, drywall and drywall ﬁller in the 40-yearold buildings, said the mayor.

Another 98 condos planned next to mall While renovations of Haney Place Mall are now underway, the cityscape across 226th Street is about to change, as well, filling in another gap in downtown Maple Ridge. Falcon Homes has applied for a development permit to allow two four-storey condos to be built across from the east end of the mall. The project would have a total of 96 units, with commercial space on the ground floor. The project was proposed a few years ago, but was delayed, received two extensions, and is now seeking final approval. A staff report says the project meets downtown plan guidelines that call for creation of a pedestrianoriented shopping district because space has been allowed on the east side of 226th St. and the south side of 119th Avenue for a bike lane, trees, sidewalks and benches. Access to the build-

ing will be from 226th St., with the addition of a covered parkade as part of the project. An alley way between the two buildings also will be widened and will have a sidewalk on the north side. Maple Ridge council will look at a final re-

port and application at its Oct. 25 meeting.

RIDGE MEADOWS MINOR BALL HOCKEY ASSOCIATION

If you’ve got questions about B.C. Hydro’s smart meters, Maple RidgePitt Meadows MLA Michael Sather hopes to answer them on Nov. 3. The 7 p.m. meeting at St. Andrew’s Haney United Church on Dewdney Trunk Road and 222nd Street will feature university instructor Joyce Nelson, who’s written on the topic. There’s a lot of concern about smart meter installation and having a meeting about that should ﬁll in some of the gaps, Sather said last week. “I’m rather mystiﬁed by the business case – if there is one,” Sather added Monday. B.C. Hydro has said the meters are not for time-of-use electricity rates, but Sather doubts Hydro’s claim that millions will be saved by reducing electricity theft. The main presenter for the evening will be Nelson, who wrote on the topic in the most recent issue of The Watershed Sentinel. She’s also taught at UVIC and Queen’s University. Sather has invited B.C. Hydro to make its case for the program, but the company hasn’t given him an answer. “Hopefully they do. I like these sessions to be educational and not just bitch sessions.”

He wants the evening to focus on Hydro’s long-term plans for the smart meters and the costs involved – rather than the possible health effects of electromagnetic frequency from Sather the meters, which transmit data electricity usage wirelessly. Sather also thinks that Hydro will eventually move to time-ofuse electricity rates. It just doesn’t want to tell the public yet, much as happened with the HST implementation, he said. The forum will focus on the utility of smart meters, implications for combating global warming, cost structure, Hydro rates, a global smart grid, smart appliances, high voltage direct current transmission lines, electricity export and human health issues. According to B.C. Hydro, 1.8 million meters will be installed across B.C. by December 2012, allowing faster reporting and repair times during power outages. Smart meters are also expected to save B.C. Hydro $70 million over three years and $1.6 billion over the next 20 years.

Oliver and company part ways Pe t s by Magda Szulc

n a sunny day in August 1996, I met a woman named Kathe Jeffries. She was the founder of the West Coast Spay And Neuter Society. She said hello, then handed me two tiny kittens. They were barely alive, covered in fleas, too young to be away from their mother and probably starving. She told me to start combing the fleas out as quickly as possible because the loss of blood was causing anemia and the kittens would die. I ended up taking those two kittens home to foster since I knew Kathe had her hands full. The tiny black and white one died the first night I had her. With my heart in pieces, I continued looking after the second kitten. He was a little boy, white and tan, and I quickly gave him the name Oliver (yes, after Oliver and Company).

Contributed

Oliver was covered in fleas when first handed over, as just a kitten. Oliver thrived with me, and every time Kathe mentioned she had a potential adopter

for him, I would remind her of all the others who needed homes far more desperately.

Who was I kidding, Oliver was not going anywhere. See Pets, p19

www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS -- Wednesday, October 19, 2011 -- 19

Pets from p19 With Oliver by my side, I began volunteering for Kathe and eventually Katie’s Place was born. I met up with one of her other volunteers and we decided to help Kathe by taking over the cat side of her rescue organization. My partner in crime, other than Oliver, was Carol Hine, and we built a small, modest shelter in a little red barn lent to us by one of Carols’ friends. We called it Katie’s Place after the black cat that lived in the barn. Katie’s Place Animal Shelter is a nonproﬁt, no-kill animal shelter that takes in small animals. We focus on cats, but have also taken in rabbits, rats, and birds. There have also, over the years, been a couple of sheep and a chicken or two. We have been opening our hearts and our doors to animals for more than 10 years now. If we had a choice, there would be no need for animal rescue and we would gladly close our doors tomorrow. But, unfortunately, this is not the case, so we hope we will be around for as long as the animals in our community need us. Animal rescue is heartbreaking work. You see the worst in people. Sometimes in the saddest moments you stop and laugh because if you started to cry, you feel you may never stop. Daily you see cruelty, abandonment, neglect, and nightly you lose sleep thinking about those you were forced to turn away. It is not a hobby or a pastime. Animal

rescue takes over your whole being and you cannot help but live it. Since 1996, I have done this with Oliver by my side. In a way, he started this whole crazy ride I have been on.

Each one was part of my family and each one meant something to us. But there was something more to Oliver. My husband referred to him as my ﬁrst born. To me, Oliver was my silent partner in this crazy animal rescue business and I am having a hard time continuing this journey without him.

Don Lockwood NOTARY PUBLIC Q. What services does a notary public provide when purchasing property? A. When it comes to buying property there’s enough red tape in the land title system to bog down even the savviest home owner. The process from start to ﬁnish can take up to a half a day and is expertly done by any one of three senior conveyancers, using the latest technology to make the conveyancing transaction run smoothly.

Q. What can clients expect? A. The firm’s first priority is to make sure clients understand the complex system in order to make an easy transition. “We take the time to explain what the process is from beginning to end, when you first contact us right until you leave my office and you’ve signed the documents,” Don said.

ll entrepreneurs face challenges in their business. But not all realize that information and communications technology offers affordable tools for better managing everything from inventory control and operations to accounting, human resources, communications and customer relationships. Chris O’Donohue didn’t want to be like those other landscapers, driving around eyeballing sites and coming up with job estimates that might – or might not – make his company any money. It wasn’t as big an issue when he started Great Canadian Landscaping back in 2000 with a single pickup truck and a few small contracts. However, when a contract is for a $200,000 backyard makeover, finding out that you’ve mistakenly underbid an estimate can cost you thousands of dollars. “At first, I didn’t realize that technology could provide the solution,” says O’Donohue, who has built Great Canadian into a bustling year-round business in North Vancouver, with 30 employees and eight trucks running in the high season. “It has taken the guesswork out of estimating and made our operations more efficient and productive.” Information and communications technology (ICT) provides a range of user-friendly tools for better managing everything from inventory control and operations to accounting, human resources, communications and customer relationships. Entrepreneurs understand the need to invest strategically. A 2010 survey by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC)

found that most business owners plan to invest in new equipment, including ICT, as a way to improve productivity and remain competitive. “ICT brings efficiency and speed to an organization,” says Jean-René Halde, president and CEO of BDC. “It provides tools to better manage and analyze information about your clients, your finances and your operation. For most, highly functional websites have also become a critical sales channel.” For Great Canadian, it was a bottom-line decision. Its estimating software takes into account overhead costs, the price of goods and other hidden expenses, ensuring that every job is profitable. The company purchased a second software package to improve productivity and better manage its crews. Instead of clocking in at the office, O’Donohue’s crews are now clocked in at the work site by their foreman, who is equipped with a smart phone. They are also clocked in and out at lunchtime. Savings on unproductive time and overtime are huge. “We were paying people for a lot of travel time that wasn’t necessary,” he says. “This software will save us about $130,000 annually in salaries. As an investment, it was a nobrainer.” Great Canadian also uses GPS capabilities on each truck and smart phone to track crews in real time. If a customer calls to ask whether a job has been done, O’Donohue can tell him or her the exact minute that workers arrived at or left the site. – Business Development Bank of Canada

DAY CLEA

Q. What do you love about being a Maple Ridge business? A. Maple Ridge is such a friendly place to live and to work. Our family has enjoyed sharing in the warmth of this multicultural community.

Q. How many years have you been in business? A. I opened my Pitt Meadows location in 2005, and then seven years ago we opened our ValleyFair Mall location. I have worked since I was an 18 year old boy. I am now 58. That’s forty years! And I still believe the same basic philosophy: Treat people how you would like to be treated. My customers come from Mission, Coquitlam and Burnaby, as well as locally. That says to me that we can be proud of what we do here. And we are.

BUSINESS Building business online F

or many businesses, an online presence is as important as a telephone, since it showcases the company 24/7, around the world. Yet, only 40 per cent of Canadian businesses have their own website. Does your online strategy generate new customers and provide competitive service to existing ones? When Pierre Martell started his home building business in 2006, he believed he could stand out from the competition if he could persuade customers he would deliver on time and on budget. But how to do it? The answer was an online strategy that combined a sophisticated website with the adept use of social media. The customers of Martell Home Builders can follow the construction of their home day by day on the custom-built site. They, along with prospective customers, can also interact with the Moncton-based company via social media and take advantage of online information on home construction and ownership. In a few years, Martell has built a booming business that owes as much to his savvy use of the Internet as it does to hard work and craftsmanship on construction sites. “We started using the web and social media because we had no marketing budget,” Martell says. “It turns out they’re incredible low-cost tools that enable us to be accessible and transparent and to build our credibility as thoughtleaders in our industry.” Today, an online strategy is critical to the success of most small and medium-sized businesses, especially when it comes to ﬁnding and serving customers. It all starts with an attrac-

tive, user-friendly website. However, too many businesses have a static, poorly designed site, or no site at all. A 2007 Statistics Canada study found that only 40 per cent of Canadian businesses had their own website. “This is still quite low in an era when an increasing number of customers rely on sourcing and purchasing a wide variety of goods and services from the web,” says Michel Bergeron, vice-president, corporate relations, Business Development Bank of Canada. “A website is a storefront that’s open to customers around the world 24/7,” Bergeron says. At Martell Home Builders, a major part of the online experience is a password-protected area where not only clients, but also skilled tradespeople, suppliers and other participants can ﬁnd information on the progress of a home’s “99-day construction countdown.” Photos are updated weekly and clients can even have a webcam installed on site to watch their house go up in real time. Having everyone on the same page eliminates miscommunication, delays and cost overruns. Martell estimates cost savings of 30 per cent over traditional project management techniques and says that without the technology his company could only build about ﬁve homes a year. This year, it’s on track to build 65 on time and on budget. In more than 200 builds to date, the company has never missed a closing date and, according to Martell, has never gone over budget.

Gagels Q. What is the secret to your success? A. Customer satisfaction. Gagels is committed to doing the job right. Going the extra mile in producing exactly what the customer wants

Q. What sets your business apart from your competition? A. Service, Service. The staff is active in helping customers every step of the way, from when they ﬁrst come to the showroom to when their vision is fulﬁlled with the drapery, blinds or upholstery being delivered or installed at their homes.

BUSINESS Power up small business Small business profile shows job creation VANCOUVER - The governments of Canada and British Columbia on Monday launched Small Business ProďŹ le 2011, a report that highlights the major role that small businesses play in B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic success, through job creation, wage increases, exports and contributions to the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gross domestic product. The Small Business ProďŹ le has been produced for more than a decade by Western Economic DiversiďŹ cation Canada, the Province of B.C. and B.C. Stats, and is released to coincide with British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Small Business Month, held in October, and Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Small Business Week, Oct. 16-22, 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Government of Canada recognizes the value of small businesses and their contributions to our economy,â&#x20AC;? said Lynne Yelich, minister for Western Economic DiversiďŹ cation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The theme of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Small Business Week is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Power up your business. Invest. Innovate. Growâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The Small Business ProďŹ le not only provides valuable insight on how small businesses across British Columbia are embracing the spirit of this theme, but also demonstrates their importance to western Canada as a whole.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the 2011 proďŹ le illustrates, we have an abundance of successful, thriving small businesses in B.C., and they are an essential component of our provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic suc-

cess,â&#x20AC;? said the Honourable Pat Bell, minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As laid out in our jobs plan, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Canada Starts Here: The B.C. Jobs Planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, this government is freeing-up more access to venture capital and apprenticeship training tax credits to create an environment that encourages more businesses to innovate and create jobs.â&#x20AC;? This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s publication has increased signiďŹ cance since 2011 has been declared as The Year of the Entrepreneur by the governments of Canada and British Columbia. The proďŹ le illustrates that more British Columbians received wages last year from small business than anywhere else in Canada. Annual earnings for B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small business workers increased 14 per cent over the past ďŹ ve years, compared with an increase of 12 per cent for employees of larger businesses. Small businesses also provided nearly 57 per cent of all private-sector jobs in British Columbia, the second-highest rate in the country. The report highlights the thousands of British Columbians who started their own small businesses in 2011, creating jobs for families and demonstrating a strong spirit of entrepreneurialism throughout the province. It also proďŹ les eight small businesses from around British Columbia, and the hardworking people who founded them. â&#x20AC;˘ For a copy of the Small Business ProďŹ le: http://www.resourcecentre.gov.bc.ca/pdf/ SmallBusProďŹ leEngWeb.pdf.

BUSINESS Putting employees first A

grow in their career is how many employees define success today.” The result is a motivated, high-performance workforce committed to building an efficient, profitable and competitive company. The alternative, warns Karamanos, is high employee turnover and productivity losses. A well-run business where employees thrive is also a powerful recruitment tool. Younger workers have different expectations than their parents, who tended to be more conservative and placed more emphasis on the value of their pay and benefits package. “Generation Ys aren’t willing to put up with jobs they don’t find fulfilling,” says Karamanos. “They are more self-confident and increasingly sophisticated in how they define their success criteria and choose a good employer.” Experts insist that inspired leadership is more effective than traditional command-andcontrol management in building an engaged workforce. It begins with effectively communicating your corporate vision and team mission. “Employees need to know you have both hands on the steering wheel,” says Andrée Mercier of Hewitt Associates. “Remember, people don’t tend to quit organizations; they quit bad bosses.” Parks admits he tried to micro-manage everything in the early days. He’s since learned that delegating gives him more time to focus on the bigger business issues and allows him to be a better manager.

key focus for entrepreneurs is to build a winning team that’s committed to the business for the long run. When the recession hit in 2007, Jason Parks faced a choice: lay off employees or invest in his people. The owner of Profab Welding put his employees first. Workers not only kept their jobs but also learned new skills that allowed the company to expand into new specialty areas. “A lot of people worked really hard to help me build this company, so the least I could do was fight for them when business dropped off,” says Parks, who now has a workforce of 120. “It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made, because it diversified the company’s business lines and it diversified our people.” A strengthening Canadian economy is expected to increase demand for skilled labour over the coming year, particularly in the resource-rich western provinces. A proven way to attract and retain skilled workers is to give them meaningful responsibilities, new learning opportunities and stimulating challenges, says Mary Karamanos, senior vice-president, human resources, Business Development Bank of Canada. Annual surveys by BDC have consistently found a strong correlation between employee engagement, client satisfaction and business results. “What keeps most employees engaged is a fundamental purpose and meaning in their work,” says Karamanos. “They need to feel they are part of a team and that their contributions are helping the company.

No harm in being Nyce Unlike others who glorify the thug life, rapper Tre Nyce’s believes there’s nothing wrong with a 9-to-5 job

re Nyce has tasted the glory of being an up-and-coming hip-hop artist and ridden in limousines surrounded by a bevy of beauties. He’s had friends who were gun-slinging thugs and drug-peddlers, seen his siblings and pals go to jail. When Tre looks at his past, he sees crossroads – he could have gone either way. “Jail ain’t cool to me,” says Tre, admitting he could have fallen into “the bad life,” if he hadn’t had a son. “You don’t need to be like that. There is no shame in getting a 9-to-5. “ The 22-year-old Vancouver rapper, best known for writing and recording Swollen Members Armed To The Teeth album, has no qualms about pointing people in the right direction.

Because Hot Flashes and Night Sweats are never welcome. During menopause and peri-menopause, up to 80% of all women will experience mild to moderate symptoms and up to 15% will experience severe symptoms. The term menopause means one year with no menstrual cycle. Peri-menopause is the 10-15 years leading up to menopause. Both can result in unwelcome symptoms. MenoSense® contains natural ingredients to help relieve symptoms such as hot ﬂashes, night sweats, poor sleep, irritability, nervousness, headaches and moodiness. MenoSense® is approved by Health Canada for treatment of symptoms of menopause including hot ﬂashes and night sweats.

He would like to be the person help break a stereotype. “I hope that one day we can help curb a stigma about young, black men being bad dads. I think part of my mission is to reach out to fathers – black, white, yellow –who don’t know where to go,” says Tre.

business PROFILE ADVERTORIAL

Cutting Edge Veterinary Hospital Head to Tail Veterinary Hospital only opened in Maple Ridge in April, but they’re already seeing large amounts of patients. “We’re very happy so far with the progress and turnout,” says Martin Rebele. The clinic has 3 doctors; the primary doctors are Dr. Martin Rebele, and Dr. Catherine Stuart. Both doctors have over 13 years of experience each and come with a wealth of knowledge. Dr. Rebele handles a wide variety of animal issues from general checkups to dental work, orthopedic surgery, and ultrasounds including cardiac, abdominal and pregnancy. Orthopedic surgery is particularly notable, as most veterinary clinics don’t have the resources or the trained personnel to offer it on site, so Head to Tail Veterinary Hospital receives many referrals from other clinics. Dr. Stuart has a keen interest in canine and feline behavioral problems, skin and allergy cases, and diabetic care. “We do a large amount of behavioral consultations, primarily for dogs and cats,” Dr. Stuart said. Head to Tail Veterinary Hospital also has a notable amount of advanced equipment on site, which allows them to offer plenty specialized procedures. “We can do ultrasounds, digital x-rays and digital dental x-rays,” Dr. Rebele said. The whole clinic is built using advanced design to minimize patients discomfort and increase safety, and eliminate odor issues. The Áoor is a modern four layer, poly aspartic polymer designed to withstand rigorous foot trafÀc, provide traction (to prevent slipping of those older arthritic dogs!). It is impermeable to bacteria and viruses! Another feature of the clinic is an advanced exhaust system, which ensures that any airborne infectants are Àltered out. The surgical room is under positive pressure ventilation and supplied with Ultra

Violet sterilized air. The new LEG surgical lights provide a much brighter and vivid light, with less heat production, leading to improved visualization of the surgical sight. Dr. Rebele said, “A lot of success so far has come from superb service, word of mouth, and compassion from doctors who listen to clients and their concerns”. Anyone who missed the open house but would still like to see the clinic’s workings are welcome to call and arrange a personalized tour. The beneÀt of tours is that they can help prospective clients to understand what goes on at the hospital and reassure them that their pets are being well cared for. The cutting-edge design of the facility also makes it an interesting site to tour. The hospital, is located at #101-22971 Dewdney Trunk Road, has three doctors on staff.

Flames lose 8th straight

Knights blank North Langley staff reporter

by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter The Ridge Meadows Flames lost their eighth game in a row to start the 2011/12 Pacific International Junior Hockey League season Friday, falling 6-2 to the Abbotsford Pilots at home. Ridge Meadows was out-shot 43-19 as the Pilots improved to 5-2. Former Flame Ryan Stewart opened the scoring for Abbotsford late in the first period before Dakota Skipper scored to give the Pilots a 2-0 lead just a minute later. Trevor Sutton scored on the powerplay to put Ridge Meadows on the board midway through the second period. See Flames, p35

Way of the sword Maple Ridge’s Mason Greissel, 13, takes part in the B.C. junior Taikai Kendo Tournament, held last weekend at Pinetree Secondary School in Coquitlam. Mason and his 11-year-old sister, Jusdia Greissel, are both members of Matsu-Kai Kendo and Iaido Club in Coquitlam. Kendo is the Japanese art of sword-fighting, with participants using wooden stick called a shinai in place of a samurai sword. The pair helped their kendo club finish second in the team competition at the tournament. Jusdia was awarded the prestigious Fighting Spirit Award, presented to the participant who showed true kendo spirit throughout the day’s event. Both brother and sister have aspirations to be one day selected to join the national team and look forward to training together in hopes of obtaining their goal.

The Meadow Ridge Knights junior bantam football team continued its winning streak on the weekend, defeating the North Langley Bears 58-0 to improve to 6-0 in the Valley Community Football League. The Knights played a well-rounded game that saw plenty of scoring not only from the team’s offence, but on defence and special teams as well. Drake Kindred, Thomas Janke, Tessai Soudarak and Haydon Barton led the way on offence, while Trent Cooper, Mark Podshadly, Justin Fedorak and Dexter Stewart all made an impact on defence. Special teams were the highlight as the Knights were a perfect seven-for-seven on convert attempts and returned a punt for a touchdown. Many of the other Knights squads also had success last weekend, with ﬁve of seven teams in action registering wins. The peewee Gold Knights defeated the Abbotsford White Falcons 8-6 to extend their winning streak to six games. Abbotsford opened the scoring in the second quarter but were shut down for the remainder of the game by a tough Knights’ defence led by Jaydeep Sachar and Dryden Pollon. The Knights had the ball on their own 20-yard line trailing 6-0 with less than three minutes to play. Behind the strong blocking of Jacob Gordon, William Bartolo and Timothy Janke, the Knights drove the ball down the ﬁeld and Cade Cote scored with 30 seconds left in the game to tie the score 6-6. Brayden Hamilton kicked for a two-point convert, per B.C. community football rules, winning the game for the Knights. See Knights, p34

Knights from p33 With the win the Gold Knights have clinched a playoff spot and host the Mission 9ers on Saturday. The atom Blue Knights extended their winning streak to three games, knocking off the Chilliwack Blue Giants 45-6. In a dominant defensive stand, Lucas Deane made two consecutive back-field tackles while relentless pressure from Dallas Pattenden and Dominick Hawke gave Jaxon Smart the chance to recover his first fumble of the year. Ethan Holland and William Ferguson anchored the offensive line which kept the Giant’s defence at bay and allowed quarterback Cody Hogarth to complete his first touchdown pass of the season to Ciaran Davies. Tight end Nicho Zolliker and fullback, Riley Celino saw their first trips to the end-zone as the Blue Knights improved their season record to five wins and two losses. The atom Gold Knights beat Chilliwack White 14 -6 to improve to 6-1 this season. Quarterback Adam Jones led the scoring with his third touchdown of the season, set up by some great carries from James Ross and Kurtis Brown. Eric Clark scored his fifth

touchdown of the season on the last play of the game. The defense was led by Tyson Phare, Evan Love, Brandon Goodbridge and Tyson Caughy, who shut down the Chilliwack offense from scoring in the second half The bantam Knights also picked up a win over the weekend, downing Cloverdale 14-12 to improve to 3-3 this season. The midget Knights weren’t as fortunate, however, as they lost 27-14 to the Cloverdale midget squad. The Knights led 8-7 at half time as Spencer Hambley and Dylan Macdermid were effective in moving the ball against the Cloverdale defence. A couple of mental lapses, including a punt recovery by Cloverdale, cost the Knights the game. Linemen Brock Loewen, Wyatt Durocher, Tyler Cameron and Travis McCrea, each put out an outstanding effort for the Knights. The Peewee Blue Knights lost 30-8 to Chilliwack Blue. Jevon Anutooshkin, Darius Joseph and Chase Wise played well on defence, but couldn’t stop the Giants running game. Tyler Spencer, Liam TeBoekhorst and Brandon Hunt played a good offensive game but could only muster

Robert Thomas

Franklin July 27, 1921October 11, 2011

It is with great sadness that the family of Bob Franklin announces his passing. He was a beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and uncle. Bob is survived by his loving wife June, brother Tony (Alma), brother-in-law Bob (Mary), his children Ann (Terry), Sue (Gord), Rob (Lois), Kathy (Will), Jim (Cathy) and son-in-law Jim (Ellen), 11 grandchildren and 4 great grandsons. Bob was born in Maple Ridge on July 27, 1921 and attended Alexander Robinson Elementary and MacLean High School. He served as a wireless operator during WWII and after the war worked for Canada Post for 30 years before retiring in 1976 as Assistant Post Master. As well as an enthusiastic gardener and handyman, Bob was an avid ﬁsherman and an active member of the Maple Ridge Rod and Gun Club. He was also an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 88 and volunteered to help raise funds at Legion Bingo. Special thanks to Dr. Chapman and the staff at Ridge Meadows Hospital for their care over the last few months. Bob will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him and will be remembered by all of the lives that he touched. He was truly a gentleman. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 22, 2011 at 11:00 am at Burnett Fellowship Baptist Church, 20639 123 Ave, Maple Ridge. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations may be made to the MS Society of Canada.
