Colleen Flanagan/THe news

Pit bull protest

B.C.’s transportation ministry is ensuring Golden Ears Bridge users have an easy ride over the Port Mann Bridge by combining the tolling technology. All you need is a decal, available online from TReO (https://www.treo.ca/ tolls-and-fees/how-do-i-save-money/) and you can get the discount $1.50 rate for the Port Mann for the first year. That decal will also work on the Golden Ears Bridge, ensuring motorists will pay the same $2.95 they’re getting with their transponders. “If you have that decal, you get the best rate,” Debbie Parhar of TransLink said Wednesday. That decal will also make it easy to get your money – by automatically charging your credit card, or pulling it out of your bank account. see Tolls, p10

Janessa Munz is planning a protest walk against a proposed bylaw in Maple Ridge that would penalize pit bull owners. see story, p8.

A Crown prosecutor took extra steps to protect photographs of a teenage girl taken during an alleged sexual assault at a Pitt Meadows rave by asking defence to pledge that the evidence would be returned at the end of a trial. Wendy van Tongeren Har-

vey made the request Thursday in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court at the start of a trial for Dennis John Allen Warrington, who is accused of posting the graphic photographs on his Facebook page. “It is illegal to possess these images,” van Tongeren Harvey said as she told the court how the photos had been shared before on the Internet. “It just doesn’t help to know that there are images out there unless we know they are under strict lock and key.” She worried that the photo-

graphs may be stolen if they were given to Warrington’s lawyer, Marvin Stern. “We all know that people have cars broken into … that’s the Crown’s concern,” van Tongeren Harvey said, although Stern assured her the images would not be viewed by anyone other than himself, his co-counsel and kept in his office. Van Tongeren Harvey and Stern eventually reached an agreement for Stern to sign an undertaking, promising to return the photographs to a RCMP officer on Oct. 5.

Value Deals

The allegations against Warrington stem from a party held on a farm at 12993 Harris Rd. on Sept. 10, 2010. He is the only adult still facing charges in connection with the rave. A charge of sexual assault laid against another young man was stayed last February after Crown found the evidence did not provide a substantial likelihood of conviction. Although Warrington was at the party billed as “Another Night in Bangkok,” he did not witness the alleged sex assault. see Rave, p12

An apology, in print, for lost years Just saying sorry worth more than the money, for survivor of St. Mary’s by Phi l M elnyc h u k staff reporter

ngus Jones has his letter. It’s in black and white, dated July 26, 2012 from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada and it’s on government stationery and bears the signature of deputy minister Michael Wernick. And it says sorry – for putting him through the hell of life in St. Mary’s Indian Residential School in Mission. “On behalf of the Government of Canada … I wish to apologize to you and your family for all of the pain that you and your family have suffered as a result of your attendance at St. Mary’s. “I recognize that you have carried this burden for far too long and the burden is properly ours as a government, and as a country.” Jones spent eight years at the huge school that once dominated the hillside in Mission. He was from the Mt. Currie band, near Pemberton, and was sent there in 1950, when he was 10 years old, although the school’s records say he only got there in 1952. From what he can recall, the uprooting began when his band got a letter from the government, saying that children all had to be sent to the residential school. In a way, Jones was a little lucky. Mission wasn’t far from Mt. Currie. And his four brothers and three sisters were sent to St. Mary’s. “People got separated. They went to Kamloops, Williams Lake.” Not that it made much difference. His family didn’t have money to visit anyway. Jones saw Prime Minister Stephen Harper deliver the televised apology to school survivors during an historic meeting in the House of Commons in June 2008. “That was good enough for everybody, but not for me. I wanted to see it physically,” said Jones. So he asked the government for a written apology for everything

I live the good life to be the

best wife, mother and sister I can be.

and his face glowed with “kindness and love.” Jones, 71, doesn’t want to talk too much about his time at St. Mary’s. Each person’s experience in the school was unique. “Each person is different and received different treatment over there.” But he hasn’t forgotten and is trying to remember as many details as he can and put them into print so others know what happened. He’s been writing it for the last 20 years and says it’s painful remembering the details, but doesn’t want to omit anything. He doesn’t know when that will be finished, but knows exactly why he’s doing so. “Why not? Why not?” he asks.

“Would you keep it to yourself?”

Phil Melnychuk/THE NEWS

Angus Jones, who attended St. Mary’s Indian Residential School in Mission, asked for an apology in writing, and got it. he went through. The effects of life in St. Mary’s have stayed with him his whole life, he says, adding the Roman Catholic Sisters of St. Ann, who ran the school, also should apologize. Even though he had a job as a court worker for 17 years in the Mount Currie and Pemberton area, helping other former residential school survivors, Jones lived as a hermit for two decades

in the bush, without electricity and running water. He’d jump in the lake for his shower. He’s been running away for 60 years. “Too ashamed to stay in one spot very long. This is the longest I’ve stayed in one place – six years,” he says, referring to his Maple Ridge home in Baptist Towers. In the In-Shuck-ch Nation newsletter out of Deroche, his daughter Lucinda wonders if her

dad really survived St. Mary’s. “Is his real life/soul lost and buried at the residential school?” she asked in an excerpt from her education thesis from six years ago. “What are we seeing, is it really just a hollow form of Angus Jones, a product of residential school?” He lives alone in the woods and he never visits, she says. Later, she notes he’s improving

“Would you keep it to yourself?” Jones says the deputy minister told him he was the first to ask for such a letter. While residential school survivors, including Jones, under the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, have received cash payments for their years in residence, the money was quickly spent. Many have since died. The letter is more important than the money, he says. “To me it is.” He wants all residential school survivors to ask for a letter for apology. “When they admitted it was their fault and not mine – it really lifted a load off my shoulders on that day.” Receiving the piece of paper, holding it, reading it, brings to an end those years. “I’m going to frame it.”

Car Care with Cyril Barry

OLD MAN WINTER... Normally at this time of year we are entrenched in the cold, dark and mostly wet weather. This month, so far, has been just the opposite, but don’t be lulled into forgetting that now is time to think about a few goodies that every car should have on board. The obvious things like new wiper blades, window wash solvent and a head light alignment are items most people should already have. What about the items you will need if your vehicle breaks down and you’re stuck with no heat and no light on the side of the road somewhere? These are items which no one thinks about, until they need them. If you can afford to drive a car, then make the price of a B.C.A.A. auto club part of your yearly driving budget. This is the least expensive part of driving a car with the most benefits when you need them, 24/7/365. I have been in the automotive repair business for 35 years and I know value when I see it, which is why everyone in my family has a BCAA membership and has had one for years. If your vehicle breaks down in the dark, the first thing your going to need is a flash light so you can see what your doing. Another handy item is a blanket or old winter jacket to keep you warm, an umbrella to stay dry, a pair of old winter boots and gloves to keep those fingers and piggy toes happy. All of these items can be kept in a small gym bag, under the seat of any vehicle. If you’re going on a trip you should have a lighter and some of those long-lasting food bars and a jug of water just in case you break down a long way from the nearest town. A road flare kit and a small tool kit would also be a good idea. With the price dropping daily you might want to consider a cellular phone, between that and your BCAA card you’re covered. You can now get an app for your smart phone for BCAA, it doesn’t get any easier folks. Try to keep in mind that every time you go for a trip, your car can break down, so always be prepared to walk home. By that I mean never go for a drive in bad weather without your jacket, hat, boots and other appropriate clothing. Time and time again I see people who drive down to their local convenience store or gas station without a jacket and sometimes nothing more than sandals on their feet. Even if your only three blocks from home, if its raining and cold out, it will be a cold walk home with only sandals on your feet. Remember to watch out for black ice while driving early morning or late at night, if your driving the speed limit it’s easier to stop if you do hit an icy patch of road.

Pitt councillor to seek local Liberal nod by P hil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

It’s not an easy time to be a B.C. Liberal. But that’s not keeping city councillor Doug Bing from trying to win the nod for the party, then trying to win the seat in Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows. “I think probably Victoria needs some new blood, and if there’s going to be some renewal there, people like me have to step up and provide a new outlook, “ he said Thursday. Bing just decided a few days ago to try for the Liberal nom-

ination against Terry Becker, meaning at least two will be vying for the title. Becker said Thursday she’s still in the running, unless she hears differently from the party. The party wants to have nominations contested, Bing added. There’s still no nomination date to decide who will run for the Liberals in Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows against the NDP’s Elizabeth Rosenau. “I think if you look at the polls today, it would look like Elizabeth would win,” Bing said. But as the election approaches, he added, the contest will

become tighter. “It usually is, in this riding.” Polls change and political predictions of disaster sometimes don’t materialize, as happened in Alberta recently when the Conservative party was supposed to be wiped out, or in the Bing Quebec election, when the Liberals were supposed to be decimated, but weren’t. Bing, who’s been a Pitt Meadows councillor for seven years, was first asked by someone in the B.C. Liberal party in July. He turned it down be-

cause he didn’t think it would fit with his dentistry practice. He was asked again in August and said, yes. “I have to win the nomination, of course. That’s the first thing. And that’s not automatic either.” He added if he got elected, he’d put his dentistry practice on hold and resign from council. Bing finished first among council candidates in the 2011 municipal election with 2,341 votes, ahead of Deb Walters, Gwen O’Connell and Janis Elkerton.

No fall session nothing new, says MLA Sather by P hil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

Fall sessions of the legislature have been cancelled before, but MLA Michael Sather would have at least liked a brief sitting. “Definitely we should have had a couple weeks to go at it,” the NDP member for Maple RidgePitt Meadows said following Premier Christy Clark’s scrapping of the session. A fixed calendar ensures spring sessions end by May 31, but there was supposed to be a fall session, as well, Sather said Thursday. Clark, though, could be trying to avoid the spotlight for a while, Sather added. “She wants to avoid scrutiny. It hasn’t seem to have gone too well for her in that regard. She’s trying to stay away from prying eyes, and ears and mouths.” Sather said he remembers Clark in the 1990s as an effective as Opposition member. “As leader … she doesn’t seem to consider ahead of time what

she’s going to say. And so she continually says things that don’t serve her well,” Sather said. “That’s not a good skill for a leader. You have to be more considered than that. “There were the Ralph Kleins of the world – but in Alberta you can get away with that. “Generally speaking, it doesn’t work too well in politics to be always speaking off the cuff.” Sather said the economy and the Harmonized Sales Tax, as well as the B.C. Rail scandal are areas in which the government could be taken to task. He expects the government to fulfill its promise to reinstate the provincial sales tax as it was before July 2010, when it was combined with the federal Goods and Services Tax to form the HST. “I can’t imagine they won’t do it.” Liberal MLA for Maple RidgeMission Marc Dalton, though, said the government is going to reinstate the PST, except with a few changes in the filing dates.

“It’s going back to the way it was before.” The government wanted to do it sooner, but there had to be a transition period for Dalton business. “It’s been very complicated, but it’s going to change April 1.” Dalton said the Liberals have some work to do with the election looming next May and low polling numbers. He pointed out that the 47 days the legislature sat this spring is only one day short of the provincial average across Canada and that there’s only a spring session about half the time. “It’s not a surprise, it’s the worst-kept secret,” he said of the cancellation. In the meantime, Dalton is busy in his new job as parliamentary secretary for inde-

During the stops in B.C. towns, Dalton is also checking out independent schools. Pitt Meadows Coun. Doug Bing, who plans to seek the Liberal nomination in Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows, said the reason Clark could be skipping the session is to give her newly appointed cabinet ministers a chance to get up to speed with their portfolios.

Athwal charged for threatening woman

Thanksgiving * Turkey!

Accused of uttering threats, harassment by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

A well-known Maple Ridge landlord is facing criminal charges for threatening a woman. Jagdev Singh Athwal was charged Friday with one count each of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm and criminal harassment. He is set to make a first appearance on both counts on Monday. According to court records, the threats were made May 1 and July Athwal 6. Athwal, who goes by the name ‘Jack,’ denies harassing anyone and claims he’s been targeted by disgruntled tenants, who he recently evicted. “The tenants will do anything,” said Athwal, 71. “It’s revenge.” Athwal was charged in August with counselling a person to commit murder. Police say the new charges are not connected to the murder plot. Athwal is accused of asking a former tenant to kill a man who managed Gordon Towers, a high-rise in downtown Maple Ridge where he owns six apartments. Ridge Meadows RCMP were unable to release more information about the new charges because the matter is before the courts. Athwal owns around 30 rental units in Maple Ridge and was the former owner of Northumberland Court, a drug-and-crime-ridden townhouse complex that has since been demolished. He expects the charge of counselling to commit murder will be dropped. “The complaint was made after I gave him notice to move out,” said Athwal. “I pay taxes. I am a hard-worker and I am being charged. I create business and generate business and give shelter to the poor people.”

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Losing democracy When is a democracy not a democracy? When the democratically elected representatives don’t sit, debate, and vote on issues before the government. Welcome to the Protectorate of British Columbia, where we are ruled by Liberal spin-doctors and their re-election machine. News last week that the Liberals have cancelled the fall sitting of the legislature is undoubtedly predicated by spin-doctor rationale that MLAs are tougher to be held accountable for their actions when not required to answer questions about their shenanigans. It should be mentioned, though, that Premier Christy Clark learned this particular trick from her predecessor, Gordon Campbell, who also thought that democratic conventions got in the way of ruling and would often cancel sittings of the legislature. Newly-minted Finance Minister Rich Coleman’s first order of business was to break the news that natural gas revenues in the province were down and, as a result, the province has undertaken austerity measures akin to the Bill Bennett days of the early 1980s. Isn’t that, and the measures the government is going to undertake to try and balance the books, worthy of discussion by our Legislature? Apparently not. Instead, all the forces of government will focus on preparing a budget that the Liberals can present next spring, just prior to the election, telling us that all is well with the world because they are at the helm. Even though the province is now blustering about on the Northern Gateway Pipeline project, shouldn’t its position be debated in our Legislature? Apparently not. It was just a few short months ago that this same Liberals government rushed through a spate of legislation in the spring sitting so they could get the summer break started in time. While this province has extremely robust employment numbers, child poverty is still more of an issue here than in the rest of the country. Shouldn’t that be discussed in the Legislature? Apparently not. When those who are looking for your vote come knocking on your door next spring, just ask them one question: Are you and/or your party committed to having spring and fall sittings of the legislature every year? Those who cannot commit that are not committed to democracy and, therefore, not worthy of democracy’s highest honour – your vote. – Black Press

Where people work, live and play S

ome African tribes believe a child’s upbringing is the responsibility of the whole community. In her book, It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us (1996), Hilary Clinton called for U.S. society – her larger community – to meet Along the Fraser all the needs of a child Jack Emberly growing up. In 2009, children’s entertainer, Raffi, launched the Centre for Child Honoring. It urges the redesigning of society to nurture kids and restore the ecosystem, objectives alien to big oil companies, but shared by Gerry Pinel. He heads the Golden Ears Transition Initiative, one of 440 grassroots community building projects around the world (nine in B.C.). Now in its third year, GETI, a transition town, has 20 local action groups – including the CEED Centre – focused on food security, environmental education, transportation, wellness, and the arts and crafts. Socially responsible efforts in these areas increasingly improve the environment for children in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Enter the local chapter of the Girl Guides. They’d booked Memorial Peace Park on Saturday, Sept. 22 to celebrate a United Nations resolution declaring 2012 the Year of the Girl Child.

uestion of the week:

GETI enjoyed a successful festival last year. It planned the same location and date for the second annual GETI Fest. Pinel saw common objectives for GETI and Girl Guides. “One of the reasons you try to improve a community is for the children,” he says. “We immediately asked the Guides to join us, and adopted their theme for the whole festival.” The idea behind GETI Fest, says Pinel, “is to showcase the concept of a village where people work, live and play together and sustain us – the butcher, baker, candlestick maker. It’s going back to the idea of people knowing their neighbour, of reconnecting for mutual benefit as farm land disappears, oil supplies dwindle, and the costs of transportation make goods, services, and imported foods more costly and less planet friendly.” This year’s festival is a web of four villages. At the centre will be an eco-village. More than 30 community groups and local businesses will be represented. ARMS, KEEPS, GETI and the CEED Centre will have booths. From here, you move freely to the farmer’s market, which has attracted huge crowds this year. This year there’s been a proliferation of dedicated folks producing and supplying us with healthy and delicious organic and natural foods. Some producers, like Farm for Life, and the Golden Ears Community Co-op, are GETI action groups. Other groups include talented local writers, artists and artisans. Find them in the Artisan’s Village.

Do you get an annual flu shot? Yes: 36% – No: 64% (61 votes)

“These people are the creative force of a community,” says Pinel. “They are the soul and conscience of any community.” Finally, at the Girl Guides Village you’ll find information about the local chapter and the life of girls in countries around the world. GETI Fest is a great opportunity for the whole family to get involved in our community, and have fun. Don’t miss the People in Motion Parade at 11 a.m. and take in the music and entertainment scheduled throughout the day, including “A Magic Gift,” a puppet play in the tent of Little Red Schoolhouse, in the Artisan Village. Schoolhouse is a GETI Action Group I belong to. Show times are 10 a.m., 12 noon, and 2 p.m. The play’s about a slender young frog – Priscilla – who thinks she’s gorgeous, but could be the most beautiful frog in the world if she only had long eyelashes like Mrs. Llama. The Mirror – who she consults frequently – says Priscilla is entitled to one wish. She could be the most beautiful frog in the world, but should think carefully. Could something beyond one’s reflection be more valuable? Along comes Barney, a warty, physically unattractive, but friendly toad with a kindly nature. Barney adores Priscilla’s voice and beauty. He says she could be “Nature’s Beauty Queen.” But, poor Barney is lonely, sad. He thinks of himself ugly. Will Priscilla be able to see Barney’s inner beauty, and want him to be a friend? See Emberly, p7

The News/letters Stay safe, my friends Editor, The News: A few days ago I had reason to phone the fire hall. After telling the front desk my problem, the lady who answered said, “No problem.” Assistant fire chief Mark Smitton arrived, and got to work right away.

Stop signs are not solution Editor, The News: Re: Commission refocuses on farmland (The News, Sept. 14). Pitt Meadows Coun. Janis Elkerton needs to have a reality check. Does she really think a few stop signs are going to discourage traffic? Realistically, traffic is increasing and will continue to do so. People love their cars, and frankly, I haven’t seen anything yet that would successfully give us reason to give them up for a better way of getting around. Get real, Ms. Elkerton, you need to come up with a much wiser solution than stop signs to get us out of our vehicles. Roads are just a by product of this necessary evil. Put your thinking cap on if you want to make changes that are realistic. John Turner Maple Ridge

Will Barney learn to like himself? Could friendship be her wish instead of eyelashes? You’ll have to come to find out. I wrote the play, inspired by years of encouraging self esteem and tolerance in children, and contemplating the fate of amphibians – frogs, toads and salamanders who are disappearing from the planet because of climate changes and habitat loss. Few of them are of any economic value – a new criteria in the Fisheries Act – according to the Harper Government. Learn how to help frogs at Amphibian Ark (www.amphibianark.org). The talented Ms. Justus produced the play, and wrote the music for a Barney-Priscilla duet. She’ll join them on guitar. Oosha Ramsoondar (Cinema Politica) introduces us. Dr. Kroaker, a herpetologist –frog expert from Hedley – makes a surprise visit. Christian Cowley, and Janet Amsden of the Ceed Centre are Barney and Priscilla.

Mr. mayor, this is our home Editor, The News: Dear Mayor Daykin and Maple Ridge council: We are so upset that you would even consider to place a gravel pit in our quiet and peaceful residential neighbourhood. We purchased our home 11 years ago. We pay our share of taxes and we deserve and demand respect in continuing to live peacefully in our home. The last thing we ever expected was to have a gravel quarry dropped into our immediate residential area. This is totally unacceptable and an inappropriate location to place a large working rock pit. We, as residents, use 124th Avenue daily as the only exit and entrance to our homes. We are in no way willing to accept the proposal to share our neighbourhood with a rock quarry or share the residential side street with gravel trucks and heavy equipment ripping through our neighbourhood, stirring up dust, dropping rocks, tracking mud and causing noise and air pollution. We would be putting our lives and our children’s lives at risk each and every time we turned on and off of 124th Ave. in the direct path of gravel trucks. Do you know children of this area walk that route to get to and from school? There is no alternative road for the kids to walk or for most of the residents to drive. As mentioned, this is our only means of escape. We, as residents, do not want or deserve the sound of breaking ground and stone. We don’t want the high-risk truck crossing. We don’t want to hear the rumble of large heavy trucks. We don’t want the weight of the trucks on our residential streets. We don’t want to hear the air brakes and heavy equipment running in the back ground, nor the dust on our streets, property and vehicles. And we sure don’t want the diesel fumes and rock quarry dust in our lungs. This operation would have great impact on declining house values. Who wants to buy a house in the proximity of a gravel pit and heavy industrial traffic? People work hard in life to have a beautiful home to call their own. They chose the area where they are going to live with great consideration to their surroundings. Mr. Daykin and council members, this is our home, a home we have been proud of.

Pride of ownership shows. Please take the time to drive up our streets, meet the friendly residents and the see the children playing. We live in a community and we deserve to live in peace, without noise pollution and certainly without additional and avoidable health risks to our family. This property isn’t zoned for industrial use and it should remain as designated. If this proposal is not dismissed, my husband and I will be forced to sell our home and relocate outside of Maple Ridge. We have been happy to call Maple Ridge our home for about 24 years now and we believe it to be one of the most beautiful places in the Lower Mainland –a community located near lakes, amazing parks and tucked ever so perfectly between the mighty Fraser River and the breathtaking Golden Ears mountains. We say no to this proposal and we ask you to please do the same. Christina and Craig Haddrell Maple Ridge Editor, The News: We are writing to express our concerns about a proposed gravel extraction site in my neighbourhood on 124th Avenue. We purchased our home 11 years ago and researched the future plans for the area. We accepted that 124th Ave. may widen and be extended to the east. This was the only plan for changes to our neighbourhood in the Official Community Plan. We have learned that despite having an OCP, the safe, family-oriented, semi-rural feel of our neighbourhood could change drastically in a very short time if the proposed gravel pit is allowed by council. The proposed changes make 124th Ave. the main access road in and out of the proposed gravel site. OCPs are designed to protect many aspects of a community. Our concern is that what is currently protected can change based on one individual’s need for economic gain and ignore the serious impact on others. Furthermore, it seems this change goes against the guiding principles, values and visions in the OCP for the District of Maple Ridge. Why is council even considering this development application? The data available about our OCP on the District of Maple Ridge website lists the corporate mission statement as having the goal of promoting a safe and live-

able community for our present and future citizens. Furthermore, the OCP mission statement reads: “The district will strive to protect its community values into the future, as it becomes more vibrant and prosperous, offering residents a strong local economy, stable and special neighbourhoods, thoughtful development, a diversity of agriculture, and respect for the built and natural environment.” Council appears to have a clear goal of protecting citizens and their neighbourhoods, but it seems, in the circumstance of the proposed gravel pit, this is not the case. By considering this development proposal, is council acknowledging the decline in the safety and liveability of our neighbourhood if a gravel pit was permitted? There are numerous proven health risks, declines in property values, declines in quality of life, negative impacts on household and neighbourhood aesthetics, as well as negative impacts on local ecosystems and roadways that could result from the development of a gravel pit and the accompanying truck traffic. Is this what council had in mind when the OCP was created? Has council’s vision and values changed, for profit at our neighbourhood’s expense? The values expressed in the OCP are being ignored by giving the proposed gravel pit consideration. This development would detract from the stability and uniqueness of our neighbourhood. Also, is it thoughtful to allow gravel trucks to travel on a road built for residential traffic that currently resembles a lane and is used by families with young children for recreational purposes like walking and cycling? Lastly, the mere thought of allowing the gravel pit does not show respect for the current built and natural environment in our neighbourhood. Values are expected to remain the same, but it seems the guiding principles, values and visions with which council began the OCP are not being considered in this situation. As a resident of the one of the neighbourhoods bordering this proposed development, I strongly urge other concerned residents and members of council to remember the goals in the OCP and ask that they fight to keep the integrity of our neighbourhood and the OCP.

Autocross noise no louder than the ‘wind’ Editor, The News: Re: Airport neighbours call for an end to autocross events (The News, Sept. 19). I am one of the participants and a volunteer at the autocross events at Pitt Meadows airport. We spend a lot of effort ensuring that our noise output is minimized. We measure the sound of every vehicle participating to ensure it meets the standards set out in the operating permit, of which all concerned parties, including residents of Ford Road, agreed to. To my knowledge, no bylaw officer has ever come out to the site to measure sound, and we would welcome an official measurement. The sound levels that we are achieving are far below those that would consti-

tute a bylaw infraction. I can’t pretend that we don’t cause any sound to travel to the neighbors’ properties nearby, but it is by no means loud. On the edge of the airport property line at Ford Road, the autocross noise doesn’t register on a decibel metre above the ambient noise of traffic on Ford Rd., the wind, farming activities, or planes taking off. I would also like to point out the many benefits of having the car clubs meet in Pitt Meadows. For each event, upwards of 80 drivers attend and spend their money at the businesses in Pitt Meadows. First off, there is the rental fees paid for the rental of the site. Then there are 80 drivers filling up

their gas tanks at the gas stations. These same drivers also likely bought their breakfast or coffee in the morning, and then buy their lunch as well. We want to continue to participate in autocross events in Pitt Meadows. We have met every requirement set out by the operating permit. We would like the chance to continue working with the neighbors and the airport society to find reasonable solutions and a mutual understanding of the situation. After all, the Pitt Meadows airport site is the only location in all of the Lower Mainland where we can participate in our sport. Norman Hayton Vancouver

Pit bull owners protest proposed ban

22570 Lougheed Highway • 604-467-2767 HOURS: Open for Lunch and Dinner Wednesday - Monday Closed Tuesdays

by Rober t M angel sdor f staff reporter

Janessa Munz is out to prove that pit bulls aren’t scary, once you get to know them. Munz is organizing a pit bull walk in downtown Maple Ridge on Sunday, Sept. 30, to protest a proposed Maple Ridge bylaw that would single out pit bulls as “aggressive” and would charge their owners a licensing fee four times that of other breeds. District of Maple Ridge staff recommended the bylaw two months ago, however, the proposal hasn’t yet to come back to council for approval. Bylaws director Liz Holitzki said the singling out of pit bulls is designed to encourage responsible pet ownership. While both the district and the SPCA receive complaints about problem dogs of all breeds, there is significant public concern about pit bulls in particular.

“It’s not unusual to have a total ban, but that’s not the way to go,” she told council in July. A woman faces charges after ordering her two pit bulls to attack another woman last month in Toronto, where pit bulls were banned seven years ago. And parents of two B.C. children who were viciously attacked by pit bills in August have asked the province to ban the breed. But singling out pit bulls as aggressive isn’t fair, or even accurate, says Munz, who owns a staffordshire terrier named Karma. “I have a six-monthold, and she chews on the dog’s tail, and it couldn’t care less,” she said. According to Munz, if more people could meet well-trained pit bulls, there wouldn’t be such anti-pit bull hysteria. To that end, she is organizing a walk through downtown Maple Ridge for pit bull owners and their dogs to help show the public how gentle and safe the dogs are, despite their muscular physique. “A lot of drug dealers

and affiliated type people get pit bulls because they want to instill fear,” she says. But a breed-specific bylaw targeting pit bulls will mean problem owners will switch to other large breed dogs, such as Rottweilers, German shepherds, or Dobermans. “It all comes down to the owner.” Breed specific bylaws like the one Maple Ridge is proposing amounts to racism for dogs, said Munz. “To judge an entire breed by their appearance is unfair,” she said. “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” Munz said she would like to have all potential dog owners go through a trial assessment period with a dog to ensure they are responsible owners when buying one from a breeder or pet store, similar to what the SPCA requires when adopting dogs. Owners of large breeds should also be required to properly train and socialize their dogs, so they don’t pose a threat to others. “Training can be expensive … but if you are

working a nine-to-five job, and can’t be around to properly socialize your dog, you probably shouldn’t have one,” Munz said. Dr. Adrian Walton, a veterinarian at the Dewdney Animal Hospital, also believes the proposed bylaw misses the mark. “It’s not the pit bulls and Rottweilers that scare me, it’s the Pomeranians and Chihuahuas,” he said. “They are the dogs that most frequently try to bite me.” Instead, he favors bylaws that would target intact male dogs of any breed, and require more training for dogs, and their owners. Often dogs are aggressive for a reason, and it’s not because of their breed. “If you are finding yourself with an aggressive dog, talk to your vet,” he said. “Maybe it’s got arthritis and in pain. Maybe it’s just one of those dogs that is wired wrong, or the genes that promote the humananimal bond is missing. If your dog is a risk to your family, or your neighbors, consider humane euthanasia.”

Funding change Pitt Meadows has also submitted a second resolution seeking changes to federal government infrastructure funding. Currently, funding from Ottawa is only available to municipal-

ities through publicprivate partnerships. The city is requesting the federal government give local governments the choice of funding arrangements, instead of limiting funding to P3s.

The City of Pitt Meadows will be seeking support from other municipalities for a resolution to give police the authority to remove gang members from restaurants and bars. The resolution seeks an amendment to the Liquor Control and Licensing Act to prevent anyone with gang emblems, stripes or colours from having a drink or meal at a licensed establishment. It will be presented at the annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention next week. The reso-

lution was filed at the request of the RCMP, who believe the move will make bars and pubs safer. Police currently use trespass and defence of property sections of the Criminal Code to remove gangsters and their associates from bars and pubs. However, that requires the permission of bar owners, often placing them at risk. Alberta has already amended its Gaming and Liquor Act to include a definition of a person involved in gang activity and gives police the authority to remove them from a bar or pub if they pose

Monthly automatic payments are part of the tolling tactics for the Port Mann Bridge and will include Golden Ears Bridge fares. That bothers one commuter, who voiced his opinion in a recent letter, saying he didn’t want TransLink to get any access to his bank account. “Sorry, I simply don’t trust TransLink,” said John Turner. The billing method for the Port Mann differs from that currently used for the Golden Ears Bridge, for which motorists wait for their bills, then pay online, by mail or at their banks. People also can prepay their Golden Ears tolls.

“With Golden Ears, there’s no automatic,” payment, yet, Parhar said. With a decal, that will change. While Golden Ears struggles to meet financial projections, falling $38 million under projections for the next three years, the Crown corporation, in charge of the Port Mann-Hwy. 1 Improvement Project, trumpets the automatic payments, saying it provides a “lean, efficient tolling system. “Registered accounts make tolling easy, electronic and efficient for both our customers and for Transportation Investment Corp.,” says CEO Mike Proudfoot.

“TReO decals let us run a streamlined system and keep our operational costs low. That saves drivers money, saves TI Corp money and helps keep toll rates low.” Parhar, though, noted the decal won’t work on the Golden Ears Bridge until after Dec. 1, so people have to hold on to their transponders until then. After that date, they can turn in their transponders to the Quickpass office on Harris Road in Pitt Meadows and get their $10 deposit back. Initially, you may get separate bills for each bridge, but soon that will be combined into one invoice. “You won’t be double-

billed,” Parhar said. And if you want to bail out of the combined Golden Ears/Port Mann billing, you can do that as well and get your bills separately. Motorists who don’t like TReO dipping into bank accounts, can pay other ways. They can sign up for payment by phone, in which case they’ll get text message each time they cross the bridge. The bill can be paid via credit card, similar to paying for a parking meter. Drivers also can pay online using their licence plate or invoice number or at their local bank or at TReO service centres in Coquitlam or Surrey. They can even pay by cheque by mailing in an invoice stub. However, they won’t get the discount rate, which means after March 1, they’ll pay double, $3 per crossing. And if they delay payment more than a week, another $2.30 “processing fee” for matching licence plates to photos, will be added to the tab. “To ensure the system is fair to all users, tolling is designed so that drivers who pay automatically through their registered TReO account do not cover the additional costs associated with finding those who need to be invoiced,” TReO says. “Registering for a TReO account ensures that Port Mann Bridge users secure the low introductory toll rate for the first year of tolling.” Nearly 30,000 people registered to use the new tolled Port Mann Bridge in just the first two days of sign-ups, surprising project officials.

Open House Proposed Wildfire Development Permit Area The District of Maple Ridge is hosting a public open house to obtain input on a proposed Wildfire Development Permit Area with an aim to protect life and property in designated areas that could be at risk for wildland fire. Note that the proposed Wildfire Development Permit is intended to apply only to those lands identified on the map below and only for new development. The information that will be shared at the open house includes how wildfire hazard risk areas may be managed to: • Ensure mitigating construction and development techniques are utilized in new development to help reduce the risk to property and people; • Further reduce the risk of potential post-fire landslides and debris flow. Note that the proposed Wildfire Development Permit Area is not intended to affect existing development.

A Canadian Armed Forces airplane crashed on a mountain above Widgeon Creek in 1953, killing all aboard.

Police search for remains at crash site contributed

Ridge Meadows RCMP visited the site of a Canadian Armed Forces airplane crash in 1953 that killed all aboard, Friday after reports from hikers that human remains were still there. The crash site is located on a mountain in the area of Widgeon Creek, and is only accessible by air. Police checked with the Department of National Defence, and it was believed that all of the victims of the crash had been recovered. Police had tried to get to the site sooner, but previous attempts to attend the scene had been unsuccessful due to severe snow cover there. The local RCMP detachment arranged for the RCMP “E” Division Air Services helicopter to take them to the site on Friday Sept. 14, to see if there were any human remains. The area is still covered in part by snow. Investigators combed the area around the

plane’s debris, but no evidence of human remains were located. “We received information from a group of ‘extreme’ hikers who posted a video on Youtube that suggested some human remains were missed in the original recovery and these were still at the

site,” RCMP Insp. David Fleugel said. “With the area being so remote, it took a lot of planning and preparation. We are quite satisfied that the complaint we received was incorrect.” The lead investigator, Constable Mathew Condon, said: “Attend-

ing the scene of the crash was obviously a somber experience, considering that five airmen lost their lives at the location. However, we had to make the attempt in order to ensure that none of their remains were still at scene. Thankfully, the report proved false.”

Basement Flooding Can Be a Dangerous and Serious Problem Did you know that Drain Tile plays an important role on the structure and quality of your house? Drain Tile is a drainage system that keeps water out of your house. It is typically out of sight, out of mind until it is too late and you are stuck with a flooded basement. Basement flooding is a potentially serious problem with negative consequences: • Mould growth, which has the potential to cause health problems such as sneezing, coughing, upper respiratory symptoms, severe headaches and skin rash • Damages to your house such as walls and floor; and ruin carpet and furniture • Destruction of irreplaceable possessions like family photo albums and heirlooms • Property value may depreciate

• Insurance costs may increase, and damage may not be covered • Cost of heating your house may increase due to excess moisture • Repairing damages and replacing drain tile is costly, and can be messy It is important to have your drain tile maintained every 3-5 years to prevent it from getting plugged with dirt and debris, risking the chance of flooding. It costs less than the price and hassle of having to replace your drainage system and repair the damage done. Mr. Swirl the Friendly Plumber understands that your house is not only an investment, it shelters and protects your family, so we want to help you take care of it. Have a Mr. Swirl Technician clean and inspect your drain tile and rest assured that it is done right.

Harris Road Park gets a makeover New irrigation system to use less water

The north fields at Harris Road Park are getting a makeover. Maple Ridge Pitt

Meadows Parks and Leisure Services is installing a new drainage system on the fields, as well as other upgrades, to allow sports groups to better use the fields year-round.

Currently, the north fields have no drainage system and can get swampy in wet weather. That can lead to the field being damaged if it is used in that condition. “This isn’t a pro-level field,” said park planning technician Sylvia Pendl. “It’s old, and it’s well-used, and when it rains, the field can damaged from use.” Field closures are common during the wet winters to protect the fields, but with the new drainage system in place, that should be a thing of the past. “There will be far less field closures once this is done,” said Pendl. In addition to the new

drainage system, the field will also get a new irrigation system that uses less water than the current system. The baseball field will also get a new infield and dugout. After the drainage and irrigation system has been installed, the field’s original grass playing surface will be replanted on top. “It’s a sustainable project, so we are reusing everything,” said Pendl. Work on the fields are expected to be completed at the end of next week, however, the fields will be out of commission until the end of next spring as the grass takes root.

SNORING? Allergies SLEEP APNEA? As recommended by Dr. GiffordJones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.

To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

are a modern epidemic

<I used Bell Allergy Relief #24 for 2 years. I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective. Since I discovered #24 I do not have a stuffy nose and itchy eyes when pollen season comes around. No problem working with hardwoods or O.S.B. sheeting. I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB <Last 4 years in spring I had allergy attacks with runny nose, sore throat and headaches. Just 2 capsules Bell Allergy Relief #24 brought relief. Belinda Wilfong, 41, Hillsboro, MO < For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On 3rd day all allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH <Golfing without allergy attacks I tried all the medications and none worked. After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX <God bless you I went from doctor to doctor for years with allergy sinus problems. The medications made me still sicker. After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning.

hen I was in my 20s, I viewed 60 as the precipice of life and death. Most of my elderly relatives passed away in their 60s and so the expectation at that time was you’d retire, take a trip or two to Florida in the winter and drop dead at a buffet restaurant with a heart attack. I recently turned 60. My perception has changed. That doesn’t mean I don’t have the possibility of dropping dead of a heart attack in the next 10 years; lots of people still do that in their sixth decade. But I don’t feel like it’s inevitable. I won’t say 60 is the new 30, but it’s certainly a new 60 compared to 30 or 40 years ago. Aside from the changes in medical technology that have allowed us to find and solve problems with our circulatory system in a more timely fashion, that is, before the heart attack rather than after it, we’ve also learned a lot more about lifestyle changes that benefit us. The new 60-year-old recognizes that with a decent diet and a regimen of regular exercise, there’s another two or three decades of life ahead. It was not uncommon, when I was young, for newly retired men to buy the reclining chair for the living room and sit all day either watching television

or gazing out the window. With the fear of imminent heart disease looming, they tended to opt for rest, and we all viewed retirement As we age as a time to put one’s Graham Hookey feet up after a life of hard labour. Today’s new retiree is much different. Most have not had a life of hard labour and so their body is not completely worn out. In fact, most have been exercising their brains more than their bodies and so they have a variety of interests that they are anxious to pursue once they have the time to do so. The recliner, bought as a retirement gift by family, friends or co-workers, may well develop a coating of dust when the newly retired individual finds him or herself busier than ever. In my peer group, most of us are still working, and will likely continue to do so for another five to 10 years. Even so, there are some pretty elaborate post-retirement plans being developed that have nothing to do with gawking at the television or watching the

cars drive by the house all day. In essence, the new 60 has some medical help in providing a better health perspective during retirement, but even more than that, there is a fundamental shift in the mental perspective. If the cliché, ‘you’re only as old as you feel,’ has any truth to it, then most 60-year-olds are benefiting from the fact that they view themselves as still being youthful. This is, in fact, part of the reason that many are working well into their 60s; they just don’t feel like they’re old enough to retire and they continue to believe they are contributing to their workplaces in a significant manner. At one point, not too long ago, I think society viewed 60 as the time when one was considered ‘over the hill.’ Now, at the age of 60, many people are just strapping on their climbing gear, heading to the peak. It has redefined our perception of ‘old age’ and, frankly, posed a significant challenge to a national pension program that was built and funded on the perception that 60 was, in fact, the beginning of a short period of government dependence.

‘Metro families more diverse’ by Je f f Nage l Black Press

Experts say a jump in same-sex couples counted in Metro Vancouver in the latest census likely reflects society’s growing acceptance of gay marriage since Canada legalized it in 2005. The 2011 census counted 6,425 same-sex couples in Metro Vancouver – 1.2 per cent of all Metro couples – a jump of more than 2,200 from 2006. Urban Futures demographer Ryan Berlin suggested gay couples are now more likely to disclose their relationship than they were in 2006. “In the seven years since [gay marriage was legalized] there’s a lot more acceptance and understanding,” he said. “People are more comfortable indicating on their census form that they’re living in these same-sex relationships.” He said the numbers still show same-sex couples are rare – just one per cent of B.C. relationships – and rarer still in the Abbotsford area at 0.5 per cent. Nationally, the figures released by Statistics Canada suggest traditional marriage is on the wane, while singles, common-law unions and other household types grow in comparison. But Berlin said traditional marriage still remains relatively strong in the Lower Mainland, accounting for about 88 per cent of Metro Vancouverites in relationships (89 per cent in Abbotsford and area), with the rest living common law. Another phenomenon running strong in Metro Vancouver is the boomerang kid – 20-somethings who either don’t move out of their parents’ home or come back later. Nearly 47 per cent

of Metro young adults in their 20s still live at home, compared to 42 per cent nationally. Berlin said that’s likely due to the concentration of universities and colleges in the region, as well as the high cost of housing. “The desire to skip that rental stage of the life cycle and move straight into home onwership could be another reason,” he said. SFU sociology professor Barbara Mitchell agreed but said other factors are also at play. “Young people are living in a very different economic and social world,” she said, adding the transition to conventional adulthood is delayed for many. “In the past it was a little more predictable,” Mitchell said. “You left the house, you got your car, you got married and had kids. “Now young people are going to school longer because labour markets are so competitive they need to.” The census results also showed slightly more children in the Abbotsford region live with two parents (26 per cent) than in Metro Vancouver (24 per cent.) – another factor Berlin said points to slightly more traditional families in the Fraser Valley. Intergenerational families – common where there are large South Asian populations – are also on the rise, she noted. Step-families made up 8.4 per cent of couples with children in Metro Vancouver, the first time that family type was counted. The overall portrait of families and households, Mitchell said, is one of growing diversification and public acceptance of different lifestyles and family types.

‘Extreme’ wait pushes project decision to 2015 by J eff Nagel Black Press

A planned new wasteto-energy plant for Metro Vancouver might burn not just regular garbage, but also special wastes that are now shipped out of B.C. That’s the thinking of some Metro directors who argue an advanced new plant might be able to handle dangerous hospital waste, foreign waste from cruise ships or airlines, maybe even oil-contaminated soils or other materials. “If we can deal with special waste in a stateof-the-art incinerator, that would be a smart move to make,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan argued at Metro’s recent waste committee meeting. He said it wouldn’t make sense to keep trucking special waste to Alberta – emitting more carbon with each trip – if it can be handled here. “I know we’re trucking out thousands and thousands of tonnes of soil with oil contained in it,” Corrigan said. Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt also likes the idea

A new waste-to-energy plant wouldn’t open until late 2018. of looking beyond municipal solid waste to see if a new incinerator can end the need to export special waste elsewhere. “I think we should be dealing with our waste in our own region instead of putting it off to somebody else,” he said. The idea was raised as Metro directors agreed they need 370,000 tonnes per year of new waste-to-energy capacity after the region stops trucking waste to the Cache Creek Landfill in 2016. That would be the minimum size of the new waste-to-energy plant – about 30 per cent bigger than the existing incinerator in south Burnaby, but less than the 500,000 tonnes

per year Metro officials previously envisioned. But it could be bigger if the region decides it could take more fuel from other sources, possibly garbage from communities on Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast or Fraser Valley. Corrigan said building in some extra capacity now may be cheaper and more efficient than having to expand later. That talk worries directors like Vancouver’s Andrea Reimer, who wants to keep Metro’s disposal capacity as low as possible on the basis much more recycling will be possible. The 370,000-tonne size is based on wasteflow projections and

assumes Metro Vancouver’s population will grow to 3.4 million by 2040 and that each resident generates 10 per cent less garbage by 2020. It also counts on the region hitting its 70 per cent waste diversion target by 2020 – up from 55 per cent now – although officials warn a higher recycling goal of 80 per cent may prove impossible. Directors also decided the plant must be publicly owned, which could allow a Metro partnership with a local city and a private developer/operator, but not one where the company owns and profits directly from the sale of energy. There’s been talk before the plant could go to New Westminster, Burnaby, Surrey or the Tsawwassen First Nation within Metro, or to out-of-region sites like Gold River or Powell River, solving the air pollution concerns of opponents in the Fraser Valley. But the regional district is far from choosing a site. Metro will ask land owners interested in hosting the plant to step forward next year and would make the list public next September. A decision on locating it inside or outside the region wouldn’t come until at least mid2014. Meanwhile, Metro aims to short list six waste-to-energy firms capable of building the plant and then winnow that further to three finalists, who would be evaluated based on their technologies and sites. The winner would be picked in 2015 and the environmental assessment and permitting would take until late 2016 before construction could start. The plant wouldn’t open until late 2018.

‘Clayton offers so many things for families’

A taste of the European life at Woodbridge’s La Rue by Kerry Vital

Woodbridge Homes is bringing Parisian style to Surrey with La Rue, the street you want to live on. La Rue, which means “The Street” in French, is a collection of two- to four-bedroom townhomes in Surrey’s family-friendly Clayton Heights neighbourhood. “This is a fantastic way to get into the market,” says sales manager Andrea Castro. “This is going to be a legacy for years to come.” The homes at La Rue include nine-foot ceilings and chic wood laminate flooring throughout the main living areas, and your choice of two designer colour schemes. The kitchens are perfect for the home chef, with stainless-steel appliances, tons of counter space and a ceramic tile backsplash with mosaic stone accents. The cabinetry is chic and elegant, and is capped off with silver hardware as the cherry on the gorgeous kitchen sundae. The built-in pantries and the real wood cabinetry is proving especially popular, Castro notes. The floorplans are spacious and inviting, with plenty of space for entertaining or just lounging around. Ranging from over 1,200 to more than

“

This is a fantastic way to get into the market,” says sales manager Andrea Castro. 1,600 square feet, there truly is a home for everyone at La Rue. The master ensuite is relaxing and quiet, with an oversized shower stall with a semi-frameless glass door or a separate tub and shower. The Victorian-profile vanities with his-andhers porcelain sinks in most plans are a convenient detail that could prevent squabbles, while the huge mirror with its polished edge makes the entire room look larger. Stone countertops are featured here too, complemented by the ceramic tile surrounds of the tub and shower. But the luxury isn’t confined to the master bathroom. The secondary bathrooms include Victorian-profile vanities of their own, as well as a soaker tub. “My favourite part is the beautiful foyer entrance,” Castro says. A resident

Building permits ensure your safety A

re you are thinking of hiring a contractor to remodel the kitchen or add some funky new lighting to brighten up your life? Or maybe you are hunting for a home and wondering just who did the wiring in your new place or how safe that deck might be? Then before you sign on the dotted line head to municipal hall, warns Liz Holitzki, director of licenses, permits and bylaws for Maple Ridge. “It should be the very first step,” she says. “It’ll save you a lot of time and headache.” Holitzki says. Especially if you are thinking of purchasing a home in which there’s any chance changes have been made to the structure. One of the few places where contractors are held accountable is through the permit process at municipal hall, she adds. She urges home buyers to make sure there aren’t any surprise renovations and they won’t be on the hook for someone else’s negligence. You just need a signed letter, saying the owner allows you to check out the permit and inspection history of the house. “Eventually, it will become your problem,” she says, whether you did the work on your home or inherited it from a previous owner. “There is no way around it.” Holitzki is particularly concerned about those who purchase a former marijuana grow-op house. The permit department can tell you if the house was ever used as a grow-op, even if remediation work has been done. “People should know especially if they have kids,” she says. “It’s too bad, but it’s really buyer beware out there.” She’s aware there is sometimes a tendency

THE NEWS/files

One of the few places where contractors are held accountable is through the permit process at municipal hall. to avoid that trip to the planning department counter. “We know it’s an issue,” she says of people doing renovations without permits. “We have our inspectors keeping their eyes open and we get more of our tips online now,” from neighbours who can now look to see if permits have been sought. Permits do cost money. The tally can add up to hundreds of dollars and you need one for almost every renovation you might undertake, from building a deck to setting up a sprinkler system. And even if you don’t need a permit, you may need permission because of zoning issues, such as setbacks or floodplains.

cOUPON

But the cost of not adhering to the rules could be much more than getting the permit in the first place. For example, if you build an illegal secondary suite in a flood plain and the municipality is alerted, you will have to tear out the entire suite out. Or you might have to start ripping apart the walls in that new kitchen to ensure the work is up to code. That might sound harsh, but Holitzki says the rules are there for a reason: safety. Permits are linked to the inspection services at municipal hall and contractors will be held accountable for their work under the system. Minimum standards exist in the B.C.

Mike says: “Fall is a great time for planting. Let us help you (re)design your garden.”

Building Code for construction and renovation and are unwavering. Good contractors are key to making sure your renovations are up to code. And that means first hiring a contractor who understands and is willing to honour the permit process. She also notes that the permit and inspection process helps protect homeowners from poor workmanship if the contractors they hire do not produce professional work. “The majority of them are very good,” Holitzki says, noting most of the difficulty comes if they aren’t familiar with the community. “They sometimes work in several communities which all have different regulations,” she says. Make sure your contractor has a license and electricians and gas fitters should be registered with the BC Safety Authority. The Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association (GVHBA) has a code of ethics called RenoMark (http://www.gvhba.org/ renomark) in which participating contractors agree to a number of ethical practices including such things as providing written, warranty-back contracts, carrying liability insurance and adhering to all permits and licenses. The GVHBA also has a list of contractors and tips on what to look for when hiring. RenoMark isn’t a legally binding promise but it does hold some weight according to GVBA president Peter Simpson, “If contractors don’t play by the rules they risk being turfed from the program until they comply.” For more on local permit requirements check out Pitt Meadows’ and Maple Ridge’s municipality websites.

Why is it so hard to trust Jesus? W

e use acts of faith in dealing with people every day as we trust employers, friends and even family, yet it’s possible for them to let us down even when we need them the most. Even those closest to us fail us, even though they do not want to, because they have personal limits. Some people struggle significantly with trusting anyone because of the experiences they have faced in life. From pain and fear, they do not want to be burned again. At the same time, people do not want to live life alone. Who can they fully trust? When Jesus lived and did His work on the earth for about three years, person after person came to Him and found that He was totally trustworthy. They didn’t have to be perfect to come, they just reached out in faith, based on what they were seeing unfold in front of them. Jesus loved all who He met.

Jesus taught respect, truth, compassion, forgiveness. Jesus backed all His teaching with life experiences showing His relevance, Acts of Faith power and desire to Greg Dalman transform lives, making them whole and clean. Today we trust good people who live right. Why is it so hard to trust in Jesus? If you would place your faith in Jesus Christ, you would be able to put trust in His words in Heb 13:5-6, where God says: “never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. So we say with confidence, the Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

God has never let anyone down, but He has loved all of us who have let Him down repeatedly, because of His mercy and grace. The greatest test for trust is to what length or depth will someone go on our behalf. God’s Word says there is no greater love than one who gives His life for His friends. Jesus evidenced His love for us by dying in our place on the cross for our sin. He speaks of love, teaches us love, has shown us His love and has gone all the way to death for us. There is nothing more that Jesus could do to prove that He is worth placing an act of faith in and choosing to follow. Invite Jesus in to be part of your life by an act of faith and if you mean it follow it up by doing life with Him, living by His Words.

THE NEWS

by J eff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver risks losing much of the tipping fees that underpin the region’s recycling system unless it blocks commercial waste haulers from trucking garbage east to Abbotsford. Cost is the main reason why 50,000 tonnes of garbage is already trucked out-of-region each year, often rolling right past Metro transfer stations while adding to congestion and air emissions. Some outbound haulers use an Abbotsford transfer station or other out-of-region landfill for as little as $70 per tonne, while Metro Vancouver’s tipping fee is $107. The difference, officials say, is because Metro’s fees also support a full range of recycling initiatives in the region, as well as planning and administration costs. They plan to intervene to keep the current trickle of outgoing trash from growing to a flood. The 50,000 tonnes exiting the region translates into $5.3 million a year

Metro tipping fees also support recycling. in lost tipping fees, but that could soar to more than $60 million if all the haulers who handle commercial, industrial, institutional and multifamily waste pickup in the region followed suit. Solid waste department manager Paul Henderson said a full migration of those sectors, which account for 60 per cent of Metro’s 1.1 million annual tonnes of waste, would likely force the region to slash service levels while making residential homes pay a much bigger share of the system’s cost. It’s not just money at stake, but the effectiveness of Metro’s recycling

Long timeline unavoidable: Metro WTE from p28

Part of the long timeline is to allow extensive consultations with the Fraser Valley and any other affected communities. Hunt said the “extreme” timeline is unavoidable but added he doesn’t like pushing the final decision beyond the 2014 civic elections, when a new board might unravel the project. The wait doesn’t sit well with Covanta Energy, the operator of the Burnaby incinerator that has been working since 2007 to

rules, because customers who use outbound haulers don’t have to abide by the disposal bans Metro imposes to keep recyclable materials from being dumped. “That material avoids the bans and prohibitions we have in place in the region to encourage recycling,” Henderson said. Metro is expected to propose a licensing system that forces haulers to use Metro transfer stations or designated in-region private recycling operators. Henderson said curbing the outbound flow is “critical” as the region is committed to intensify

build a new incinerator at the former Gold River pulp mill and hoped for a speedier decision. “The timing is a disappointment,” Covanta vice-president Christopher Baker said. “We have to sit back and assess the process and determine if we want to be a part of it or not, based on the timing. It’s financially draining.” Other firms that are likely proponents include U.S.-based Wheelabrator Technologies Inc., which is owned by Waste Management Inc. and has partnered with Urbaser of Spain,

its recycling efforts to boost diversion from 55 per cent to at least 70 per cent. “If we do nothing there is a strong likelihood we would be unable to implement all the activities and achieve the goals laid out in the solid waste management plan,” he said. Tipping fees have steadily climbed more than 60 per cent since 2006, when they were just $65 per tonne. But cutting them isn’t a good option, Henderson said, because they are a powerful tool to encourage recycling. “Our system is based on full cost recovery,” he said. “We wouldn’t artificially inflate our tipping fees to further increase recycling, but we believe it’s a very important tool.” After a 10 per cent increase last year, Metro expects to keep its tipping fee frozen at $107 for 2013. Metro’s fees are the same as the Capital Regional District in Victoria and less than the $115 in Nanaimo, but more than Calgary’s $98 or Toronto’s $100 tipping fee. Metro will consult industry ahead of a final decision next spring on exactly what regulations to impose.

as well as Vancouver’s Aquilini Renewal Energy, which has had site talks with the Tsawwassen First Nation. More than a dozen other firms were informally surveyed by Metro this summer and most intend to propose alternative technologies other than conventional mass burn incineration. Five incineration firms told Metro they’ve already secured undisclosed sites – one within Metro and four outside the region – while two alt-tech firms said they are looking at possible in-region sites.

TransLink express bus plan rests on mayors Officials won’t say yet what will be cut if tax hike fails

quickly unravel if area mayors continue to be at loggerheads with the province over transit funding. The draft 2013 base plan, unveiled Monday, hinges on mayors letting TransLink levy a previously approved $30 million property tax increase over the next two years. Most mayors voted once already in the spring to withdraw the tax hike after the province refused to grant new TransLink funding sources. But a new vote to formally amend the

THE

TransLink says cost cutting should allow it to roll out a phased launch of the new Highway 1 Rapid Bus over the Port Mann Bridge and promised B-Line express buses on King George Boulevard and 104 Avenue in Surrey. But that vision may

plan is required to be legally binding. If the mayors hold their ground and no further savings are uncovered in a soon-to-report provincial audit, TransLink would be forced to chop parts of the plan. TransLink vicepresident Bob Paddon wouldn’t say which elements would be likeliest to go if the mayors axe the property tax lift of $23 per average home. “If that money is not there, we’re going to have to reconsider just what we can deliver on,” he said.

As it is, a big hit in gas tax revenue has forced TransLink to drastically pare back the service expansion it had hoped to provide. Rapid Bus service that was to be every 10 minutes all day over the Port Mann would only run that often at peak hours and be cut to every 30 minutes at off-peak times, according to the plan. And it will only go from Langley to Braid Station – the full run to Lougheed Station is on hold. The King George BLine bus service won’t go all the way to White Rock as previously promised either. That’s to be left as a future extension for the service running every eight minutes from Guildford to Newton. In all, the plan promises an extra 109,000 service hours for buses, about a third of what TransLink previously hoped to add. Upgrades to several Expo Line SkyTrain stations are also still on track, particularly since the key hub at Commercial/Broadway must be upgraded to handle extra passengers once the Evergreen Line from Coquitlam opens. But TransLink will shelve a move to more frequent SeaBus sailings every 15 minutes on Sundays and holidays, year round. TransLink says it’s found $98 million over three years in efficiencies so far and has continued to reallocate bus service to routes where demand is higher. Paddon said that could mean cuts in frequency on some routes – some underused evening runs could go from every 30 minutes to every hour. The plan also pares the amount of money going to regional roads and cycling infrastructure. Bus drivers will also be under pressure to

deliver the same service with less recovery time at the end of each run and Coast Mountain Bus will run with fewer spares, so a bus breakdown will be more likely to derail service on a route. “There will be an impact to our customers,” Paddon said. TransLink will have $472 million less over the next three years than it previously assumed because of a drop in the gas tax it collects, the deferred sale of its Oakridge property, less fare revenue due to a rejected fare increase, less toll revenue from the Golden Ears Bridge and the expected cancellation of the property tax lift by the mayors. The new three-year base plan goes out to consultation this fall. North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton, chair of the mayors’ council, said area mayors are frustrated the province has blocked new revenue sources, such as a vehicle levy or road tolling, and oppose any heavier use of TransLink’s property tax, which rises two per cent a year automatically and costs the average home $225 a year. “It’s maxed out,” he said. “We’ve been saying that for the past couple of years.” He said many mayors are likely to oppose the property tax hike and wait for more productive talks with Victoria – either from this government or the next one. The impasse was much the same a year ago, he said, except then the Evergreen Line was at risk of being scrapped if federal contributions were lost. Mayors were persuaded to support the SkyTrain extension on the government’s promise to consider new funding sources.

PUBLIC NOTICE

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, November 19, 2012 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, February 18, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the Province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

The News/sports SRT Titans fall in junior varsity opener Section coordinator: Robert Mangelsdorf 604-467-1122 ext. 216

newsroom@mapleridgenews.com

by Ro b er t M a n g e ls d or f staff reporter

Tyrel Ogloff scored just about every way possible, but it wasn’t enough as the Titans of Samuel Robertson Technical Secondary School fell 47-32 to the visiting Robert Bateman Timberwolves in their first game of the B.C. High School Football League AA junior varsity season. Ogloff started the game at quarterback in relief for the injured Daniel Ferro, and was able to make an impact with his feet as well as his arm. Ogloff returned a kickoff in the first half for a touchdown, before running the ball into the end zone in the second half. While Ferro’s injured arm may have been too banged up to throw, it was good enough to pull in a spectacular 20-yard reception in the second half to keep the Titans’ drive alive, a drive that ultimately led to a Titans touchdown. Given the team’s six-foot-five receiver Liam Evanow was out injured, Titans head coach Mark Ogloff said he was happy with the offence’s performance. “We had good blocking on the offensive line, and that opened things up,” he said. However, the Titans defence was largely helpless against the run. With the Titans

missing a number of key starters on their defensive line, the Timberwolves were able to push run after run up the middle, opening up a formidable 41-18 lead by the end of the first half. “The bottom line is we have to get the guys that are injured back on the roster, and they guys that are new, better at what they do,” said Ogloff after the game. In the second half, Ogloff moved his defensive line around to take away the middle of the field, a tactic that seemed to work. While the Timberwolves scored on the opening drive of the second half, the Titans were able to keep them off the board after that, out-scoring the visitors 14-7 in the final two quarters. “We saw where we were getting beat and moved some of our more experienced guys from the offensive line in to stop it,” Ogloff said. While the Titans’ comeback attempt fell short, the elder Ogloff said he was proud of his team for persevering in the second half despite being down by 23 points. “Bateman is a very good team… I thought our guys put up a good fight,” he said. “They didn’t quit. I’m proud of them.”

Injury-plagued Marauders mauled by Abbotsford Panthers at home by Ro b er t M a n g e ls d or f staff reporter

The Pitt Meadows Marauders junior varsity football team lost 30-13 to the visiting Abbotsford Collegiate Panthers in their first game the AA regular season on Wednesday. The Marauders look dominant early on,

taking a 13-0 lead eight minutes into the game. However, things began to fall apart as injuries and inexperience began to take their toll. “We got a lot of young, inexperienced guys on the team, and they didn’t know how to finish,” said head coach Kris Little. Injuries to the Marauders’ first-, second-, and third-string running backs didn’t help

matters either. With the running game neutralized, the Panthers began to blitz, putting pressure on Marauders quarterback Jake Schuster. “They started to bring pressure up the sides, and we couldn’t give our quarterback enough time to make plays,” said Little. Making matters worse for the Marauders, Schuster was forced to leave the game early

in the second half with a groin injury, and may be out for as much as two to three weeks. Little said he hopes to get some of his injured running backs back in the lineup for next week’s game against the Rick Hansen Hurricanes. “Every team has injuries, we’re no different,” he said. “But we’re learning and we’re working hard, so it will come together.”

Flames hope to attract locked out hockey fans by Ro b er t M a n g e ls d or f staff reporter

With the NHL preseason already cancelled due to the ongoing labour dispute between owners and players, the local junior B hockey club is hoping to attract hockey fans who want to get their fix close to home. Ridge Meadows Flames owner Andrew Ilaender said the franchise is improving the game day atmosphere at Cam Neely Arena with more prizes, more entertainment between periods, and a better product on the ice. “We are bigger, tougher, and faster than last season,” said Ilaender. “This is high level hockey, and these kids work their butts off.” While junior B hockey was once thought of as little more than pugilism on ice, today it has become an impor-

tant rung on the hockey development ladder. A quick look at the Ridge Meadows Flames alumni is proof of that. Brandon Yip of the Nashville Predators once wore a Flames jersey, as did Kellan Tochkin and Prab Rai, both of whom signed contracts with the Vancouver Canucks. Recently, the local club has seen a number of former players move up to junior A and major junior, with Mike Piluso, Mackenzie Skapski, and Eric Williams each going on to play in the WHL, while Jordan Soquila, Carter Shinkaruk, and Todd Fletcher went on to play in the BCHL. Former Flames Brad Hunt, Landry Dorsett, and Cody Campbell have each gone on to play NCAA hockey for U.S. universities. This season, the Flames are poised to rebound from last year’s forgettable 1133 campaign with a host of new young

talent, each hoping to take the next step closer to pro hockey. The team had close to 500 in the stands for their home opener last Friday. “It’s a great atmosphere in here when we get the crowds,” said Ilaender, who played junior B hockey, himself. “These kids love to play in front of the crowd.” Ticket prices for the Flames are $8 for adults, $5 for seniors and students, and $3 for kids 10 and under. The Flames also offer a family pack for $36, which includes four adult tickets and three kids tickets. Members of the Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey Association and the Meadow Ridge Female Minor Hockey Association are allowed in for free, when Colleen Flanagan/the newS accompanied by a paying adult. • The Ridge Meadows Flames play ev- Ridge Meadows Flames owner Andrew Ilaender (left) and marketing associate ery Friday night at Planet Ice in Maple Rick Garrison are hoping to offer hockey fans put out by the NHL lockout a local Ridge at 7:30 p.m. option to get their fix.

The Bruins got off to a slow start, but were able to tighten up on defence in the second half. Millar Thind and newcomer Marlin Reehl scored the team’s
