Ridge man wanted by U.S. DEA

Warren Hill convicted before for trafficking marijuana by M on i sh a M ar ti n s staff reporter

A Maple Ridge man convicted in Canada of trafficking marijuana is wanted south of the border for the same crime. The Drug Enforcement Agency has issued a warrant for Warren ‘Wardog’ Hill that remains active and accuses him of conspiring to import and distribute marijuana in the U.S. Jodie Underwood, a special agent with the DEA, confirmed that Hill is a “DEA fugitive.” “His apprehension has been delegated to the United States Marshal’s Service, which works closely with our foreign counterparts. Information pertaining to fugitive Hill is sealed by the court and, therefore, we are unable to provide any details.” Hill, 47, was convicted of trafficking pot in 2005 and sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Court fines Aquilinis $1,000 They also make $54,000 payment to habitat fund by P h i l M e l nychuk staff reporter

Special feature: FASD – A few drinks, a life changes. See stories, p3,4,5

An Aquilini company charged with illegally pumping water from the North Alouette River has been fined $1,000 and agreed to make a $54,000 payment to an environmental fund. The penalty was a joint submission from both sides in the case, prosecu-

tor Jim Macaulay said Thursday in Port Coquitlam provincial court. All charges laid in 2011 under the Fisheries Act and the Water Act – against Elisa, Francesco, Paulo and Roberto Aquilini, CPI - Cranberry Plantation, Global Coin Corp., other numbered companies and farm manager Richard Matis – have been dropped. Instead, only a guilty plea from a related numbered company, 374917 B.C. Ltd., to illegally pumping water under the Water Act, was entered. The charges stem from June 2009, when a water intake pipe was in-

stalled into the river and water pumped, between a million and 1.5 million gallons, to keep a field of cranberry plants alive during a hot, dry spring. “There was no demonstrable, environmental damage as a result of this,” said Macaulay said. The disruption to the side channel of the North Alouette was “minimal,” he added. Golden Eagle Group, the umbrella company that’s part of the Aquilini Investment Group – which also owns the Vancouver Canucks – had applied for six water licences

in 2007. It needed approval from the City of Pitt Meadows to bring the pipe across the top of the dike. The city granted that approval, but authorization hadn’t come yet from the water stewardship division of the Ministry of Environment for the water licence. But a hot, dry summer made it imperative to get water on to young plants in May and June 2009. And the farm manager thought that the approval from the city to cross the dike was sufficient to allow installation of the pipe into the river. See Fine, p14

A few drinks, a life changed Parents on front lines of fight against FASD

by Phil Melnychuk, staff reporter

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

alk to Bernadette Howell about what can or what should be done about fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and how to stop the preventable condition that ruins so much human potential, and she apologizes for getting on her high horse. After raising two adopted sons and enduring the process of discovery and diagnosis, Bernadette has seen it all. Her fatigue and frustration about the lack of help or awareness can be felt through the phone lines from her North Vancouver home as she recounts her decade-long voyage that began in 2000, when she and husband Dominic adopted two victims of the Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. As did many in Ireland, the couple rescued two brothers from a Romanian orphanage, only five and eight years old at the time, and brought them home to Dublin to raise as their own. Under Ceausescu’s iron fist, women were to breed and produce large families. Abortions and contraception were banned, leading to unwanted children languishing in overwhelmed orphanages. Bernadette and Dominic knew the boys would face challenges adjusting to a new land and a new family. What the couple didn’t know was they were also adopting a lifelong condition that would last beyond their parenting years. The trials began when her eldest approached 12 years old, a time when most kids start testing parental boundaries. Bernadette, though, found that her eldest’s behaviour, and later that of her younger son, went beyond youthful disobedience and extended to an inability to follow any directions. At first, she blamed those difficulties on defiance, or adapting to a new land. But it was the alcohol-addled brains, the fetal-alcohol conditions in both of the boys causing the frustration. It’s not that fetal-alcohol kids don’t want to follow instructions, says Bernadette. They just can’t. Often they say they understand in order to please and try to follow through without knowing why they’re doing it. Because of the alcohol ingested in the womb and absorbed by the brain, FAS-affected kids can’t link cause and effect, or actions to consequences. Punishment, withdrawal of privileges, doesn’t work.

Easy fix to FASD? A

Wine in Washington state comes with a warning label about drinking.

“People with FASD do not respond to consequences,” explains Bernadette. “Basically, our kids, their brains are processing at a different speed. “We’re working in a one-second world. They’re working in a 10-second world. Everything is delayed for them. “They’re just exhausted when they come home because their brains have been in overdrive, trying to keep up.” And while it’s tiring for those with the range of fetal-alcohol symptoms, parents also burn out. There is no normal sleep schedule. “These behaviours, they’re happening at one in the morning. “He can’t go to sleep, so he’s bouncing a basketball outside your door

and you’re wondering, why is he doing this?” She’s convinced many in the legions of homeless have the condition. “Parents are giving up on them because they don’t know what they’re dealing with. “I know because I couldn’t cope myself.” Bernadette is still on sick leave, trying to recover from caring for her kids. As the years go by, she doesn’t expect it will get any easier. There is no short-term respite care for parents of FASD kids to give them a break and recharge so they can resume their parental duties. What helps is a definite diagnosis that FASD is the cause behind the difficulties. It wasn’t until 2008, following two visits to Sunny Hill Health Centre in B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver that the Howells received that relief in the form of a confirmation of FASD. Weekly visits by a key worker from the Ministry of Children and Family Development helped Bernadette and Dominic relearn the tough job of parenting an FAS child. The couple knows they’re dealing with a life sentence. It’s a burden they happily bear and would adopt an FAS child all over again, because he or she would be in the greatest need. But they need some help, a break once in a while, respite care where the parents can leave their kids under supervision for a few days while

mom and dad catch their breath. The only way Bernadette can do that now is, literally, to give them up to the ministry for three months by placing them in temporary foster care. While parents of autistic kids get financial support, those caring for fetal-alcohol kids get nothing. “We’re desperate for more services around that,” said Bernadette, who’s writing a book detailing her experiences. Only after diagnosis, usually only done at Sunnyhill or at Maple Ridge’s Asante Centre, can parents qualify for support, which includes training, mentoring and support groups.

“We’re working in a one-second world. They’re working in a 10-second world.” Bernadette Howell, adoptive mom Key workers can help with education and information, health services and emotional and practical support. Funding for the ministry’s key worker program, which supports families with FASD kids, has doubled since 2005, noted Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux. See FASD, p4

Maple Ridge pioneer in the treatment and diagnosis of the condition has an idea that could stop FASD in its tracks. Take the women who are at risk of drinking while pregnant, women with no help or no money, take those women under the arm and house them in a nice hotel or apartment. Feed them. Clothe them. Counsel them. Comfort them. Keep them occupied and away from the bottle. Help them get started, at least temporarily, on a new life. “Lavish her with care for the nine months for the pregnancy,” says Dr. Kwadwo Asante, medical director at The Asante Centre in Maple Ridge. “It’s expensive, from the beginning, up-front,” he says. “What happens now? The cost is horrendous.” Helping expecting moms abstain from alcohol is far cheaper than treating fetalalcohol affected children for lifelong disabilities. It’s cheaper than the lengthy, neverending health-care costs that involve diagnosing the condition, treating language delays, learning disabilities, vision and hearing problems, treating attention deficit disorder, caring for later substance-abuse issues, to which FAS kids are prone, and paying for prison and court costs and the overall costs to society of people who don’t realize their potential. Asante offers the suggestions and remembers the plight of a single mom he treated in Haines Junction in the Yukon during his 30 years serving the remote northern communities. Someone gave the expecting mom a book on how to raise her baby, at a time the woman was just enduring a lonely existence in a bare apartment. All she needed was a place to call home, he recalls. She started drinking. “No mother really wants to harm the unborn baby,” says Asante. After a career of leading the way in treating and diagnosis and raising awareness about FAS, Asante recognizes that prevention of the condition isn’t a simple thing with one solution. See Fix, p5

Car Care with Cyril Barry

THE THERMOSTAT I thought that some information on the often heard of - but little known component of the coolant system called the thermostat, might be in order. Up until the early 1980’s, the thermostat was nothing more than a control valve that kept the hot water in the radiator allowing the radiator to cool it. In the winter we would install a higher temperature thermostat which allowed the coolant in the engine to heat up longer before the thermostat opened, thus creating more heat for the frosty humans in the passenger compartment. So, you can see that the thermostat had two functions. The first, is to keep the coolant in the engine long enough to aid in initial engine warm up and the second is to keep the coolant in the radiator long enough to let it cool and prevent overheating. On computer controlled cars, 1980’s & newer, you must use the same heat range when you replace your thermostat. If you are in doubt about what that might be, or you can’t seem to get a straight answer from anyone, buy it from your car manufacturers local dealer. This way you get the correct part the first time and it will fit and operate properly. They are not a costly item but a very important one. In a computer controlled vehicle, one of the most important sensors (computer input devices) is called the coolant sensor. It informs (inputs to) the computer of the operating temperature of the engine coolant. Most vehicles are designed to go into computer controlled mode (closed loop) at or around 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore you must have a thermostat rated at 190 degrees or better or your vehicle will never reach its designed operating temperature. This means that you would be driving around in what we refer to as “open loop” which is full rich or limp mode, i.e.. major gas consumption, lack of power and major emissions failure numbers.

While FASD kids struggle in school, it’s not for lack of intelligence. “They’re as bright as anything,” Bernadette adds. Her youngest, now 17, has been in and out of school the last year. For him, verbal interaction creates stress and conversation can grate on his brain. Her eldest son, now 20, managed to graduate, despite writing a final exam while hung over. FAS kids are susceptible to drug and alcohol abuse, she points out, partly because they lack judgment, partly because their brains don’t know when enough is enough, as well as a predisposition to addiction that’s part of the fetalalcohol condition. Low self-esteem and vulnerability can lead them into trouble of many types. He’s still struggling with drug and alcohol addiction and he realizes he’ll have to stay awhile in the Pathway to Freedom transition house in Surrey, where

The parents know the challenges will go on, but are unbowed. Their love for their sons shows in the equanimity and affection displayed during a visit to the halfway house.

So, the correct thermostat is a very important part of not only your coolant system but of your computer control system as well. In our shop it has been our experience that the difference of a few degrees in rated thermostat opening temperature can make all the difference in the world to vehicle performance. In some vehicles the only thermostat that works properly is the one from the local dealer. That is the one we will use when servicing those vehicles. In any service to the coolant system, i.e.. flush, water pump, heater core, radiator, hoses, cap, frost plug, cylinder head or engine repair: CHANGE THE THERMOSTAT! In most cars it does not take long to change. What does take time is bleeding the coolant system of any air that entered when draining the level to facilitate this repair. This air is referred to as an ‘airlock’ and causes no end to overheating. Remember to check your coolant level when the engine is cold and if you have any questions just give us a call. We don’t mind, it’s part of the job and we’re here to help.

Ireland, Dominic and Bernadette made a new start and moved across the ocean in 2004. “Little did we realize, when we came to Canada, it was the best thing, when it came to fetal alcohol awareness,” she said. North America, and Canada in particular, is a leader in recognizing the condition. But more work needs to be done. Many still don’t understand the unwieldy term, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, the umbrella label which covers all alcohol-related neurological damage that can cause learning difficulties, or problems in memory, reasoning or judgment. According to a B.C. Liquor Stores pamphlet, heart problems, along with hearing and vision problems are also part of the fetal-alcohol spectrum. “Half the world doesn’t know what fetal alcohol spectrum is. I’m constantly talking to people about FASD,” says Bernadette. “To me, it has to start in the school setting, as well.” Teachers and students should learn about the condition so they better understand behaviour of their students and classmates. That can be kept in mind before girls reach the legal drinking age. A fetus can be affected by al- Cadieux cohol before a teen girl even knows she’s pregnant. “It’s the people who are binge drinking who are drinking, those are the people getting pregnant,” Bernadette says. The condition knows no socio-economic boundaries, she adds, pointing out that FASD is in her own neighbourhood of the welloff North Shore. “I know it exists here. I can see it. “Wealthy families get drunk. Wealthy families get pregnant.” So discussion and awareness should be widespread, said Bernadette, who likes the District of Maple Ridge’s 2012 bylaw, requiring pubs and restaurants to post warning signs in their premises and on menus. Unlike the U.S., there is no requirement for brewers or distillers to put warning labels on

their bottles. “They can put warning signs on cigarette packages, but they don’t put them on liquor bottles.” Cadieux agrees more can be done. “I think there’s always room to look at additional strategies.” But a requirement to put warning labels on beer, wine and liquor bottles would have to come from the federal government, although that’s something the B.C. government could advocate, she added. “Ongoing awareness is always a challenge to ensure people get and receive messages. Which one sticks is a challenge, for sure, but it’s important.” It’s not enough, says Bernadette. “But there should be more than that. There should be more discussion about it.” Those working to prevent FASD, should follow the strategy of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, which constantly reminds people about the dangers of drinking while drunk. “It needs to be in your face. It needs to be in restaurants. It needs to be in pubs.” According to Allison Pooley, program director with The Asante Centre, prevention can be achieved by helping moms swept up in the alcoholic lifestyle who are under constant pressure to drink. Support can help them resist that pressure and allow them to nurture a healthy baby. No amount of drinking while pregnant is safe, she adds. “There’s no safe time, no safe amount.” She repeats a point she made previously: booze is more dangerous than hard drugs when it comes to damaging the infant brains because it’s water soluble and mixes with bodily fluids. The statistic that nine of every 1,000 babies are born with FASD is a conservative number and the actual rate could be 20 times that, meaning two to five per cent of the population is affected. It’s an invisible disability that people hide well. “For every 100 people you meet in one day, you meet somebody with FASD.”

ern provinces, except Saskatchewan, and says efforts are ongoing to raise awareness. “There’s lots going on and we continue to try and do more.” The District of Maple Ridge, however, is going one better than the province. The municipality passed a bylaw this fall requiring pubs and restaurants to post warning signs warning in their buildings and on their menus about the dangers of fetal alcohol spectrum. Putting the requirements into the building bylaw makes them more enforceable. While municipalities can make such rules, Cadieux says the senior government cannot. “The reality is the province doesn’t have authority to require private establishments to post that type of signage. “But I think it’s great that Maple Ridge has taken a leadership role in that regard and hopefully others will follow. “It’s very important for people to be aware.”

Alcohol, drugs make diagnosis complicated He still favours putting warning labels on booze bottles, as is done in the U.S., but notes that’s just one part of a solution. Often people don’t read the labels. Asante said the centre confirms about 70 FASD cases a year. Assessments are also done New Westminster, Abbotsford and B.C. Children’s Hospital while education is improving awareness of the condition. He’d also like more education and awareness taught in the health-care

system. And many in the general public still aren’t aware. Over the years, he’s become more aware of the power of addictions, the difficulty of substance abuse. People drink for a variety of reasons. “Many are poor and they drink to drown their misfortunes. “They can’t quit,” he says. “This is where the community and family support comes in.” Still, the message is slowly sinking that drinking heavily while

pregnant will harm the child. Now it’s matter of getting the message out that no amount of alcohol is safe. You wouldn’t serve your sixmonth-old baby alcohol, Asante Asante said. As a result, the frequency of full spectrum FASD, which results in facial abnormalities or mental retardation is also declining. “But we are still getting

children with brain injuries who are not easily diagnosed.” Asante says the health-care system is now dealing with moms who drink and do drugs, making diagnosis even more complex and difficult. Alcohol, though, because of its solubility in the body and the brain, is still the most damaging. “Alcohol is the worst.”

B.C.’s Ministry of Children and Family Development joins in the worldwide FASD Prevention and Support Day that takes place every Sept. 9, the ninth day of the ninth month, symbolizing pregnancy. The entire month is also dedicated to the cause, and the 196 B.C. Liquour Stores around the province are stocked that month with pamphlets explaining the condition. But walk into a B.C. LiquorStores and the warnings are anything but in your face. Most of the time, a lot of searching is needed before you can find any kind of information about FASD. In the sole B.C. LiquorStores outlet in Maple Ridge, in Valley Fair Mall, fetal-alcohol awareness comes in the form of one sign, about the size of a legal-size letter, half-hidden on the wall near the exit. “Healthy babies need everyone’s

support: Alcohol and pregnancy don’t mix,” it says, showing a picture of a mom and dad. There are also some pamphlets with the same message inconspicuously tucked away on a service counter, behind the pamphlets about wine, beer and food, far from most shoppers. At Christmas time, the minimal effort contrasted with dozens of posters sponsored by booze companies hiring famous athletes, exhorting people not to drink and drive. Apart from the poster and pamphlets, the government relies on people to make their own efforts to learn about FASD through an online quiz (bestchance.gov.bc) and an online toolkit (health.gov. bc.ca/women). In 2008, it also announced a 10year FASD strategic plan on the topic.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

End of Kyoto The new year brought in one long-overdue change — the end of the Kyoto Protocol. Canada signed the climate change initiative in 2002, when Jean Chretien was still prime minister. It called for a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions — six per cent below 1990 levels by 2012. Not surprisingly, that didn’t happen. In fact, overall world carbon emissions are up by 58 per cent over those of 1990. Is there a need to keep the growth of carbon emissions to more reasonable levels? Of course. There is considerable proof of at least some global warming, although many skeptics say that the science has been corrupted by political activism. No one can deny, though, that both the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps are shrinking and the waters close to the Poles are open for far longer periods than ever recorded before. It’s simply good behaviour to cut back on carbon emissions as much as possible, if for no other reason than to conserve precious fossil fuel resources and actively promote alternatives that do not emit nearly as much carbon. Nonetheless, Kyoto was never a viable option. The biggest polluters in the world refused to sign it or even abide by its most modest aims. Its call for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions were unrealistic, unless the developed world was to go into a self-induced depression. As it is, most of the developed world has been in a serious recession for the past four years and emission levels are still rising. The B.C. government was late in jumping on the Kyoto bandwagon, with a carbon tax, carbon credit purchases by government bodies and promotion of alternative fuels. While the latter makes some sense, the first two do not. The carbon tax is simply a cash cow for the province that we will never get rid of. It has not changed behaviour, but, like the property purchase tax, it handsomely lines government pockets. The carbon credit program involves taxpayers subsidizing private companies for capital projects that they would likely undertake anyway. It is ridiculous to demand that schools and hospitals be carbon neutral when the tax dollars spent to do so go to the private sector. The federal and provincial governments need to have realistic programs to reduce emissions, and not buy into climate propaganda. – Black Press

Idle, as if there is nothing to do Idle – to move slowly or lounge, without purpose as if there is nothing to do.

hawn Atleo, national chief of the Alliance of First Nations, was satisfied with ongoing talks with the federal government Along the Fraser over treaty rights. Jack Emberly But Chief Theresa Spence, of Idle No More, refused to attend, hoping a meeting with the governor general, a link to the monarchy, would be more productive. Last Saturday, it was reported that Spence left Rideau Hall early because the meeting with the Queen’s rep ‘seemed like a show.’ Natives at the grass roots feel that way about more talks, while Harper continues to erase habitat protection in law – an imminent threat to water. “Water is life for our people,” insists the 2012 document, “Save the Fraser Declaration.” It’s endorsed by 100 indigenous nations, who warn they won’t allow fish, animals, and people to be exposed to an Enbridge oil spill in the Upper Fraser River Watershed. Native talks with government need a unified voice if they hope to stop projects like Gateway. Enabling oil industry expansion is a powerful motive made clear by Harper’s program to erase habitat protection in statues – the Fisheries Act last year,

uestion of the week:

and now the Navigable Waters Protection Act. The 1982, NWPA guaranteed all Canadians unobstructed travel down rivers – no pipelines, bridges. In doing so, it protected rivers from pollution. According to ecojustice (Bill-C45 and the NWPA), amendments mean the act will only prohibit work “in, over, under, across, or through” a mere 62 of Canada’s 2.25 million rivers. That leaves 99.7 per cent with no protection. Last week, MP, Fin Donnelly told a local town hall meeting that rivers left out include the Alouette. Natives in northern B.C. are fearful. If the Enbridge pipeline goes ahead, 800 streams and five major salmon rivers would have pipes across them. Oil spills would destroy streams, habitat, and native culture. B.C.’s First Nations would share the fate of those in Alberta forced to abandon a tradition of fishing in rivers like the Athabasca, or eat a poisonous catch. In Alberta, water has been poisoned by the tar sands. A recent study by Environment Canada and Queen’s University links toxic sediment in lakes – chemicals, mercury, and 40 carcinogenic polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons – to the sands. Dr. John Smol, a biologist with the study, told Quirks and Quarks (CBC, Jan. 12) sediment in lakes 50-90 km from the sands prove PAHs have multiplied 23 times since production began there in 1967. “We have the smoking gun,” said Smol. Impact on water will only increase, he

added, because the oil industry will bump production 2.5 times in the next 15 years. Many behind Idle No More think time for talk has run out. They say they’ve been treated like victimized children for centuries. History bears them out. In 1670, King Charles II of England, without consultation, ruled that indigenous people who’d occupied Canada didn’t have any legal rights to it. He gifted it to the newly formed Hudson Bay Company of Adventurers. One of the principles of the firm – capitalists known as “bourgeois” – was the king’s cousin. Charles dubbed the newly discovered territory, Rupert’s Land, after him. Transfer of ownership was easy for a king. Charles drafted a “charter” – a kind of omnibus bill in those days. It entitled the HBC to “all the rivers and streams draining into Hudson Bay” – 1.5 million square miles, land known today as Manitoba, Saskatchewan, the North West Territory, much of Alberta, and Nunavut. Control here remained in the hands of the elitist HBC for 200 years; until the new Dominion of Canada bought it for provinces in the 1870s – not from the natives, but from the firm. What 17th Century thinking justified giving 40 per cent of Canada to a group of private businessmen? Firstly, “the divine right of kings” asserted that Christian monarchs with direct links to God, were entitled to act without consulting aboriginals.

The News/letters The end of large industry in Hammond? Editor, The News: Re: Hammond mill reaches out to neighbours (The News, Jan. 11). Maple Ridge has been called a bedroom community. This means we sleep here and work elsewhere. The Hammond mill site occupies many acres of industrial zoned land. The plant may not always be there. If our council allows that parcel of land to be broken up, we will not have large industry in our community again. Where else do we see waterfront acreage such as this? Councillors, open your eyes and see the future. W. Johnston Maple Ridge

Name calling uncalled for Editor, The News: Re: Shedding light on B.C. deficit (Letters, Jan. 16). J. Johnson should be aware that using a derogatory term (right-wingnut) to describe Tom Fletcher is ignorant and uncalled for. It sounds like something a bully would say on a playground. Just because someone has a different political opinion from J. Johnson doesn’t make it the wrong one. Cherryl Katnich Maple Ridge

Solutions to social injustice? Emberly from p6

That idea lives on in Canada with a Prime Minister who rewrites laws to enable industry, and disempower and demoralize citizens. Charles believed “savages” were children to be managed, and the feudalistic HBC exploited them. Canada’s Indian Act of 1876 is equally paternalistic. It still allows the federal government to decide – unilaterally – who qualifies as an Indian. Folks in Idle No More think a change in attitude is overdue. Lastly, trade and commerce were considered the backbone of civilization in the 17th Century; resources to be extracted for profit. According to King Charles, savages couldn’t develop a solid business plan. That would need the bourgeois, who deserved an open door to development. Sound familiar? Like the Arab Spring, Idle No More may bring the only solutions to centuries of social injustice. Jack Emberly is a retired teacher, local author and environmentalist.

online comments • Alex Pope · Works at KooL-I.P. Solutions Corp.: Re: Fewer dollars, students, so no school (mapleridgenews.com). It seems that the school board has discovered that families with schoolage children would prefer to not move to an area that does not currently have a school. I guess that is the reverse effect to ‘Build it and they will come.’ I’m not sure that I would be jumping to the conclusion that these families will continue to not move there after the first local school is built, though. If I were one of the developers building houses in Silver Valley, I think I would be pushing to have at least one school built right away – even going as far as contributing funds towards the construction. The payback in faster sales and increased values by being able to market these homes to young families would be worth it.

Industrial alternatives needed Editor, The News: Most municipal taxpayers are left wondering why there is an automatic proposed increase in expenditures in the municipal budget. There are many answers to this question, but a quick glance at truly stupid proposed municipal planning strategies reveals some of the reasons. Budgets are difficult for the average person to understand, but industrial and commercial growth is one of the few ways in which it is possible to hold the line on residential tax increases. This is where proposed strategies in commercial and industrial development come into play. Although there is ample suitable land available in the western portions of Maple Ridge, the municipality is about to propose industrial development in two areas, neither of which will sit well with neighbouring residential developments. The first location is a 38acre site on the south side of the Lougheed Highway, which was purchased many years ago by the province as part of the Cottonwood corridor/Fraser River crossing project that has since been abandoned in favour of the Golden Ears Bridge. It lies between a small-lot residential development to the west and a townhouse development to the east. Not only is the

According to Macdougall, there is ample land is available in west Maple Ridge for industrial growth. site encumbered by surrounding, established residential neighbourhoods, development would also be restricted due to sloping topography and existing watercourses. Not a bright idea. The second location is approximately 60 acres lying south and west of the intersection of 232nd Street and 128th Avenue. Most of this proposed location lies within the agricultural land reserve, but due to soil and drainage conditions, it is better suited to residen-

tial development. It is also surrounded on all sides by existing residential development. If folks in that area don’t like the existing traffic mess on their neighbourhood streets, they will be even less thrilled with industrial traffic adding to their driving woes. While the aggregate total of both sites would help satisfy the growing need for more industrial land, the adjacent residents will probably start their very own Idle No More move-

ment to squelch such development. The entire municipal proposed industrial development strategy is highly unlikely to result in any development that will mitigate the need to continue to increase taxes on all properties, with residential property owners suffering the most. Alternatives are needed, but that will require practical decision making at the staff and council level. Sandy Macdougall Maple Ridge

Would you eat at restaurants three times a day? Editor, The News: Re: A few bad seeds (bclocalnews.com). The letters of J. Davies and Pat Petrala made excellent points on what should be of genuine importance to all Canadians that care about health care. Your superb editorial highlights the importance of this medical topic when, generally, the discussion surrounds decriminalizing or legalization here or in the U.S. However, it is the health aspects that must be properly managed with an aging and sick population. People are increasingly aware that cannabis can assist myriad medical conditions, and the number of registered patients through Health Canada doubled

between February and October last year. Unfortunately, our federal government insists on scaring the population and proposing awful legislation that will penalise the sick and dying. People should read the ‘Marijuana for medical purposes regulations,’ published in the federal government’s Canada Gazette page, Dec. 15, to appreciate how badly this is being managed and why they can expect to hear more from sick people during the current consultation period. If this legislation becomes law, this is how it will look. Think of the analogy of feeding your family. Imagine being told that the law was changing next year and you could no longer grow vegetables in

your own garden and then cook a meal in your kitchen. From 2014, that right would be removed and you would have to eat out at large commercial restaurants three times a day. No snacking between meals for recreational use. The government will ensure the food provided and the sanitary conditions in the kitchen will be of the highest standard. Oh, by the way, the cost is many times higher than it is now and more expensive than the black market. I hope that anyone in your household that needs food can still afford to eat. Welcome to the Orwellian reality of what medical marijuana patients face. David Hutchinson Surrey

Wood burning good carbon-neutral heating option Editor, The News: Re: Worst year for wood smoke (Letters, Jan. 9). I’m sorry to hear that John Kelly’s neighbors may not be properly seasoning their wood or be using old stoves or fireplaces, as any wood burning stove or insert sold

in B.C. since 1992 are EPA certified. Responsible wood burning is the most economic and carbon-neutral heating available. However, blaming all wood burning is like blaming every car and truck on the road anytime a big

diesel rig belches out some smoke. Shrugging off the rights of the people who have already built a community and a life here as “myopic” is a bit much. Please don’t move here from somewhere else, then complain that the

chickens are too loud or the cows are too smelly or the stores are too small or the railroad shakes the ground. The people of Maple Ridge have built a community, not a suburb. Richard Springer Maple Ridge

A Pitt Meadows senior who spearheaded a petition calling for no tax increase in 2013 asked on Tuesday for council to forgo a pay raise. Tom Murray made the pitch just after council gave three readings to a financial plan bylaw approving a 3.1 per cent residential tax increase for this year. “There is no doubt I am not everyone’s favourite person, but I feel like I must continue my saga in order to honour my fellow residents in Pitt Meadows,” Murray told the semi-circle of civic officials seated in front of him. Murray, who collected 1,300 signatures on the petition, noted all he wanted was to see what a zero per cent tax increase would look like. “We simply wanted to see if it was at all possible. This was not produced. It has been a great disap-

pointment,” he added. “Since zero percent was not shown, I would like to propose that mayor, council and senior staff not receive raises at all this year. Are you willing to accept this?” Mayor Deb Walters replied, saying freezing wages for council and senior staff was a topic that had not been previously discussed. When pressed by Murray to commit to a wage freeze, Walters politely declined. “That would be a discussion for another day, Mr. Murray. I am not prepared to do that at this time,” she said. According to financial statements released by the City of Pitt Meadows, the mayor’s salary saw an increase of $16,000 from 2008 to 2010, climbing to $63,220 from $47,160. In the same period, councillors saw a $7,217 increase, from $17,544 in 2008 to $24,761. Financial documents for 2012 have not been released, yet. But according to the Pitt Meadows director of finance, councillors made $24,780 in 2012, while the mayor made $66,081. Salary rates for council

are adjusted each year according to a formula based on the median of the published salary of all Metro Vancouver mayors for the immediately preceding year. The formula was put into place in 2008 following the recommendations of an independent committee of citizens. Unlike the mayor, Coun. Janis Elkerton voiced her support at the meeting for Murray’s proposal for a wage freeze, as Maple Ridge council did in 2012. “I think we should be looking at anything that will reduce the budget and setting an example by leadership,” said Elkerton.

Tax increase passes Support for a 3.1 per cent property tax increase was not unanimous. Mayor Deb Walters cast the deciding vote in a 4-3 split, which saw councillors Bruce Bell, Janis Elkerton and Dave Murray vote against it. “The economy is not in good shape,” said Bell. “I know in Pitt Meadows we have a median family income of

$56,000, so I thought we could do a little bit better and perhaps next year we can sharpen the pencil a little bit further. But this year it wasn’t quite enough for me.” Coun. Murray also wanted a tax increase than was lower than three per cent. “We are in an economic downturn and our city is not experiencing any other growth,” he said Tuesday. “There are not very many people getting a 3.1 per cent pay increase. People are being told to hold the line.” Coun. Gwen O’Connell acknowledged it was difficult to raise property taxes, but has a “clear conscience” while supporting the 2013 budget. “I think that we gave a realistic budget” she said. “Things haven’t changed much in Pitt Meadows. Our staff aren’t flying all over the world looking at how sewer systems work, council doesn’t fly to Germany to bring people here to work. We are busy trying to get jobs and then we are criticized for getting 250 jobs. I don’t know what we can do to make everybody happy.”

A Pitt Meadows meat processing plant is now facing charges for covering up a positive test for E. Coli found in one of its products two years ago. The charges under Canada’s Food and Drug Act follow a lengthy investigation by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which was tipped off by a former employee of the company that a batch of beef had tested positive for the deadly bacteria in September 2010, and was

not reported. Under Canadian law, a positive test must be reported to CFIA immediately. The halal meat packing plant on Ford Road and its subsidiaries, Fraser Valley Meat Supplies and Meadows Valley Meat, are each facing 11 counts of selling an article of food unfit for human consumption. Penalties for violations to the act can range from fines to jail time for those involved. After verifying the employee’s claims, the CFIA conducted a voluntary

recall of products processed at the plant. According to the CFIA, the plant destroyed some of the meat prior to the recall, while the majority was sold to pet food manufacturers. Only a “few kilograms” of the tainted meat were sold in stores for human consumption. Pitt Meadows Meats has always maintained the whistle-blower who tipped off the CFIA was a disgruntled employee. When the allegations first surfaced in 2011, the plant’s business manager, Brian Bilkes, said the

positive test results were not reported because the plant manager suspected the employee who conducted the positive test – the one who eventually informed CFIA – had possibly sabotaged the test and used unhygienic practices that tainted the results. “There were definitely issues between him and management,” Bilkes said at the time. Pitt Meadows Meats appeared in court to face the charges on Tuesday. The company is set to return to court in February.

Local housing market not red hot, but not dead either Comparable to stagnant late ’90s by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

The days of pre-sales and sellers’ markets are over, as housing prices take a breather. The same goes for slapping a for sale sign on your lawn and testing the waters, or waiting for buyers to beat a path to your door. That doesn’t mean you can’t sell your house, says local realtor Ihor Zalubniak. “You really have to be competitive,” he said.

If the house is presentable and ready for sale, and the price is competitive, you’ll be the one with the sold sign outside in a few weeks. “The price has to be sharp to attract the buyers.” And if you’re one of those buyers, don’t expect massive decreases in price, but do count on getting good value. While the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver says there’s been a “collective hesitation” in the marketplace, Zalubniak says, at some point, people will realize they need to upgrade their accommodations and sales will

pick up. Today’s market is similar to the period of stagnant house prices in the late 1990s. “There wasn’t a lot of demand. Then when the interest rates dropped, the market really started to heat up.” This time, interest rates are already rock bottom, says the realtor, who last week saw a mortgage rate of 2.89 per cent for five years. “There’s no motivation [for the buyer]. There’s nothing for the buyers to say, ‘We have to get going.’” However, with the changes in mortgage rules, it’s also tougher to

get financing. Some of the numbers from the real estate board shows the current market. The number of home sales in December in Maple Ridge was only 42, down by 30 from the same month in 2011. The benchmark price for a single family home in Maple Ridge has also dipped over five years by 2.5 per cent to $463,000. According to B.C. Assessment, in the past year single-family-home prices have dropped by $3,000, or about .07 per cent, to $438,000. But a recent letter Pe-

ter Johnson, who lives near Dewdney Trunk Road and Cottonwood Drive, says his townhouse has dropped in value by nine per cent, or $23,000. On the other hand, many pockets of the Lower Mainland prices increased over five years. Single family homes in Burnaby jumped by 22 per cent and New Westminster prices were up 13 per cent, Zalubniak said. If you’re a realtor, making a living isn’t as easy as it used to be. The deals are more work to put together. “The expectations of the sell-

ers and the willingness of buyers seem to be a little bit further apart.” Still, the Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge area is still one of the most affordable in the Lower Mainland, and cheaper than Squamish. And increasing demand will eventually turn around the market, and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. says that 19,000 new housing units are needed yearly in B.C. “There’s still activity. It will come back,” Zalubniak said. According to the Real Estate Board, the total number of sales in the Lower Mainland

dropped by 23 per cent in 2012, compared to the year previous. “For much of 2012, we saw a collective hesitation on the part of buyers and sellers in the Greater Vancouver housing market. This behaviour was reflected in lower than average home sale activity and modest fluctuations in home prices,” Eugen Klein, REBGV president said. “Activity continues to vary depending on area, so it’s important to work with your realtor and other professionals to understand the trends in your area of interest.”

MR council narrowly approved site rezoning School from p12

“It’s really upsetting.” Read said that the school site is important not only for kids, but for the neighbourhood. There’s only one new neighbourhood park nearby. Council narrowly approved rezoning the site at 23103 – 136th Ave., which would allow housing to be built, and two possible dedicated school sites. The locations for schools are outlined in the eco-friendly Silver Valley area plan, a decade-old document. So far, more than 200 people have signed the petition. Read said the District of Maple Ridge will receive copies of each person’s comments and hopes the district will at least defer the process to allow community discussion. According to the school district, of 1,245 elementary students who live in Silver Valley, only 747 will need to be locally placed, while the remaining 498 will go to Yennadon elementary.

Over the next year, the school district will develop a school site plan and

consult with residents, along with Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. With

the plan in place, property acquisitions for future school sites can begin.

Golden Eagle plea saved court time Fine from front

Starting June 5, 2009, between a million and a million and a half gallons were pumped into the field west of 216th Street, near the North Alouette River. Macaulay said Matis thought he had complete approval, “but found later, it wasn’t.” Judge Deidre Pothecary, though, wanted to know if the manager was taking his orders from company headquarters. “This isn’t somebody telling him what to do and keeping him in the dark?” But she was told he was the general manager of the farm. Defence lawyer Alan Blair said that Golden Eagle was saving about three weeks of court time by pleading guilty. He added that a letter from the B.C. Ministry of Environment to Fisheries and Oceans Canada arrived late and may have contributed to the water withdrawal because

the latter wasn’t able to respond. The decision to install the pump and move water wasn’t “willful or blatant,” but just to get water on to the plants. Blair said the environment ministry later issued temporary water licences to Golden Eagle Group for the same location, and expects more to be issued soon on a yearto-year basis. The judge supported the Crown and defence’s request for the $1,000 fine and payment of $54,000, which will go to the province’s Habitat Conservation and Trust Foundation, to ensure the money doesn’t go into general revenue. Pothecary, at the start of the hearing ,wanted to know why the Aquilinis named in the charges weren’t in court. Blair said company CEOs rarely appear for regulatory offences. However, John Negrin, president of Aquilini Renewable Energy, was

in court for the decision. Blair said Negrin is now in charge of regulatory matters for the company and shares the same floor as the Aquilinis at the company office.

“The community has the right to expect that environmental regulations will be followed.” “The company now has a person who is well skilled and able to manage this,” Blair said. “The community has the right to expect that environmental regulations will be followed. We know we need to do better. The court’s message will be delivered promptly.”

Ridge RCMP not moving to arrest Hill Wanted from front

During that investigation, RCMP seized marijuana worth between $263,250 and $471,744 from Hill’s Bosonworth Avenue property in Maple Ridge, including three replica guns and $26,000 in $100 bills. His upscale home had a helipad at the time. Hill also had access to a leased helicopter, which he claimed he used in film productions. The sentencing judge Madame Justice Daphne Smith concluded that Hill “was in-

volved in a sophisticated, organized, and large-scale commercial venture for the distribution and sale of marijuana at a substantial profit.” At the time of the sentence, Hill was a successful businessman and operated three companies. Hill Although Hill is wanted by U.S. authorities, Ridge Meadows RCMP are not moving to arrest him.

Supt. Dave Walsh, who headed the 2002 investigation that saw Hill charged with drug trafficking, explained RCMP have to wait for an extradition process to be completed before a warrant is sworn. That extradition process has not yet started, and police aren’t sure if U.S. authorities will even pursue one. Walsh did not know if Hill still lived locally.

Literacy in focus LEARNING HAPPENS EVERYWHERE Skating, Samosas, and Smartphones Ice skating is hard. There’s a trick or two to configuring your smartphone for downloading library ebooks. And samosas are best with just the right amount of spice: not too little and not too much. How do we know? We may have discovered it for ourselves (darn, that ice is slippery!), perhaps attended a workshop, or consulted a cookbook or two. We learned it – but outside of formal school. “We recognize the value – and the power – of this kind of informal learning,” says Angie McLeod, Literacy Coordinator “It takes place all the time, and in so many different ways. And it’s so important to building and supporting strong communities.” Reading, doing puzzles, playing games, playing music, and listening to stories are all ways to learn informally. These are the kinds of activities you can try at the Family Literacy Events on January 19 at the Pitt Meadows Public Library and on January 26 at the Maple Ridge Public Library. Read on for more details.

explore Family Literacy at two exciting, Fun-Filled Free events Sharing our Stories

Pitt Meadows Public Library. January 19 from 11am to 3pm Visit our Open House to explore how stories have influenced our lives and shaped the lives that we lead.Take part in a traditional Katzie welcome prayer, listen raptly during story time, or visit one of the fun interactive activity stations.This is a free public event that has something for children, youth, adults, and seniors. Refreshments and snacks provided between 11am 1pm. Come share your story... hear those of local residents!

Family Literacy Fair

Maple Ridge Public Library. January 26 from 2pm to 4pm Families of all ages are invited to a Family Literacy Fair at the Maple Ridge Public Library.Test your skills at the interactive amazing race stations: puzzles, a drum circle, reading/writing, and physical movement. Get your passport stamped at each station to be eligible for a prize draw.There will also be a teen area, information booths from local service agencies, spin-thewheel (prize every time), refreshments, storytelling with Paula Justus, and a wrap up performance by musician and multiinstrumentalist Boris Sichon.

Parents are their children’s first and most important teachers.

Informal learning and literacy are closely connected: reading, singing, playing games and talking with a child help build language skills well before the youngster starts in school.

Today, in a complex and fast-changing world, it’s necessary for individuals to acquire and adapt their knowledge, skills and attitudes throughout life.

Education floats on a sea of learning. The learning that occurs in nonformal and informal ways supports learning in the formal systems.

15 Minutes of Fun In honour of Family Literacy Day’s 15th year, ABC Life Literacy Canada is encouraging Canadian families to have “15 Minutes of Fun” learning together. Practicing literacy together for just 15 minutes a day has tremendous benefits…give one of these ideas a try.You might just enjoy yourself!

Learning room Did you know there’s a place where you can go for all kinds of free, informal literacy help? The Learning Room is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Located in the CEED Centre, 11739 223rd Street, the Learning Room offers a range of services and resources: • Free Internet access • Women’s conversational • Help with forms or letters English group • A casual lending library • One-to-one and small group • Information on improving reading/writing tutoring reading and writing skills • Literacy resources For more information call the Literacy Facilitator at 604 721 3738.

One person will be chosen from each participating community to make a change and win prizes. The grand prize will be a cruise for two from Cruise Experts. It will be awarded at the end of the 13-week contest. However, one Green Fighter will win a prize during weekly challenges. Canadian Tire will provide prizes for readers, as well as the challengers as part of their commitment to healthy living, and you are encouraged to check out the Green Fighters website to follow the participants’ progress and share your thoughts about how you are eating better and getting fit yourself for 2013. The Canadian Cancer Society has noted that changing just one thing about your life, whether it’s eating more vegetables or quitting smoking, can reduce your cancer risk. Kin’s Farm Market is pleased to be able to provide fruits and vegetables to the participants in the Green Fighters Challenge.

Help for Seniors with Memory Loss

vate them to continue with keepfit resolutions, survey respondents said having more time would help, as would personal support from a trainer or nutritionist, or having someone to work out with. Others people said more money – to buy equipment or for a gym membership – might prompt them to exercise, as would a better schedule (such as a more flexible work timetable) or having a regular schedule or fitness program created for them. When asked how often they engage in sports or other exercise, 20 per cent of poll respondents said they exercised between five and seven times a week, while 40 per cent said two to four times a week was average for them. About four per cent said they never exercise. Of those who do exercise, almost 70 per cent agreed they do so to lose weight. Also included in the survey results were questions about eating during the Christmas holidays. While 71 per cent admit they overindulged, 63 per cent said they felt guilty about it. More than 73 per cent of respondents said they were wanted to get fit right after the holiday season.

rises up when a child dies, knowing this is not the way things are supposed to be. I believe that in that moment, God Himself is agreeing with us. Something is broken in the world. Something is broken in our lives. So where does one turn to find strength, comfort, meaning when it seems that all we hear is bad news? Where do we find the courage to get out of bed and for another day? These types of questions is where we find our deepest soul’s long-

ings revealed. It’s easy to believe that we are the masters of our own destiny. But how quickly life changes. The crash of steel on steel as vehicles collide, the doctor’s report of bad news, or the personal conflict that somehow seems to arise in every relationship, rudely remind us of how quickly life can change. As we look forward, there is one certainty we can count on – this life will bring trouble. So the question we must is: Where will I turn for strength when the difficult days come? On one occasion, Jesus was talking to His band of brothers: “In the world you will have tribulation.

But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33). Two realities: hard times will come. But strength to face them is found in Christ. Over 25 years of pastoral ministry has shown me that men and women of faith are somehow able to face the most difficult tribulations”that life gives and still lift their eyes with courage for another new day. Courage comes by looking to the One who Himself suffered so much at the hands of angry men, yet laid His life down in love for each of us. Comfort comes from knowing that the One we turn to for comfort

All five MLAs on the committee must be unanimous for that to happen, and their votes and reasons are officially secret due to personnel privacy restrictions. The selection committee is expected to meet again Friday to discuss the proposed

extension. If they support the idea, it would be proposed to Doyle. The committee chair, Ve r n o n - M o n a s h e e MLA Eric Foster, was the subject of a random audit that raised questions about his constituency office renovations. The other two B.C. Liberals who form the majority are Chilliwack MLA John Les and Peace River South MLA Blair Lekstrom, both of whom are not seeking re-election in May. Burnaby-Deer Lake

MLA Kathy Corrigan and SurreyWhalley MLA Bruce Ralston represent the NDP on the committee. O pp osit ion MLAs cite Doyle’s reports criticiz- Doyle ing the recent buildup of BC Hydro debt and the state of B.C.’s forest inventory in the wake of a devastating pine beetle epidemic as likely reasons why Doyle wasn’t reap-

Doyle is also leading a court action seeking release of detailed defence lawyer billings for former ministerial aides Dave Basi and Bobby Virk, whose $6 million in legal costs were covered by the province after they pleaded guilty to breach of trust in the 2002 sale of B.C.

New safety rules set for B.C. sawmills very worried about what happened, both at Babine and at Lakeland,” Rustad said. “The authority is looking to do a 60-day consultation period with industry to meet those standards, and then asking industry to bring forward an implementation plan for each of their facilities by mid-June.” Babine Forest Products issued a statement Tuesday, saying it supports the direction of the recommendations. “Consistent with the BCSA recommendations, the new Babine sawmill will contain state-of-theart equipment and systems to collect wood dust at the machine source,” the statement said. “It will have equipment, building and floor plans designed to facilitate clean-up and reduce areas where wood dust can accumulate.”

A sad but necessary reality of flu I was speaking to my mother the other night about how she’s adjusting to the eldercare home in which she’s now a resident. “Well,” she said, “I made a break yesterday and got out of my room for a few minutes.” She made a break? Suddenly, visions of Happy Gilmore’s grandmother and Ben Stiller shot through my mind as I recalled the implications of elder abuse that were used as comic fodder in that movie. The hair went up on the back of my neck. “What do you mean you made a break?” I asked her. “There’s a flu bug that’s struck the place and everyone is supposed to stay in their room all of the time. The staff bring your meals to your room and come in with masks and gloves on and if they catch you outside your room, they shoo you back in. I haven’t seen hide nor hair of anyone else who’s in here for four days.” It would be easy for me, sitting thousands of kilometres away, to judge that barring the elderly to their rooms for such long periods of time might be excessive, but there is a reality to the situation that, with a little thought, helps it all make sense. First, the elderly are extremely susceptible to respiratory infec-

GVHBA gearing up for a great 2013 By Kerry Vital

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is welcoming the new year with a slate of big events. The first will take place on Feb. 6 at the Delta Burnaby Hotel and Conference Centre. The Legends of Housing event will include a panel of residential construction industry leaders including David Podmore of Concert Properties, Peeter Wesick of Wesgroup and Ward McAllister of Ledingham McAllister discussing where they think the housing industry is going and their experiences in the industry, followed by a question and answer session. The session will be moderated by urban design specialist Bob Ransford of Counterpoint Communications. The GVHBA will also announce the finalists for the 2013 Ovation Awards at the event, which is also the first dinner meeting of the year. Tickets can be purchased on the GVHBA website until Feb. 4. The next big event in the GVHBA calendar is the BC Home and Garden Show on Feb. 20 to 24. The association hosts the GVHBA Pro Renovation + Design Centre every year, showcasing before and after photos of professional renovations by member companies. You are also able to book a free consultation with a renovation or design professional. The event will take place at BC Place, with tickets available on the day or at www.bchomeandgardenshow.com. While you’re there, you can see photos of the finalists for the Ovation

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will hold its annual First-Time Home Buyer Seminar on March 19. It will feature a panel of experts ready to answer your questions, above. The BC Home and Garden Show will take over BC Place next month. It will feature the GVHBA Pro Renovation + Design Centre, below, where you can see photos of gorgeous renovations.

Awards, and cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award, which will be handed out for the first time this year. The ceremony will take place in April. The show features more than 425 local experts in all aspects of home ownership, from renovation to organization, appearances by HGTV celebrities like Sarah Daniels of Urban Suburban and tons of tips for outdoor living and gardening. The third big event of the next few months is the annual First-Time Home Buyer Seminar on March 19 at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey. The seminar is the largest of its kind in North America and is always popular. Admission is free, though preregistration is required on the GVHBA website and attendees are asked to bring an item for the Surrey Food Bank. “Our experts will help first-time buyers consider all available options and important issues before they take that critical first step onto the property ladder,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Real estate continues to be a hot topic in this region, so seminar attendance is expected to be as many or greater than the 750 young people who attended last year’s event.” The seminar will cover a wide range of topics, including

finding the best home for you, how to choose a location, what’s involved when buying a home before it’s built and wading through the legal considerations that come with purchasing a home for the first time. Doors will open at 6 p.m. to allow participants to talk to the experts one-on-one, and the seminar will take place between 7 and 9 p.m. For more information about any of these events and to see a list of others, visit www.gvhba.org.

MAPLE RIDGE • PITT MEADOWS

A winter garden, fleeting canvas I

made a rare winter visit to VanDusen Botanical Garden about a week ago. It was a spur of the moment decision that occurred when my daughter and I actually Gardening had the same Mike Lascelle morning off, so we just got in the car and drove. Admittedly, mid-January is not exactly high season as most of the gardeners were busy dismantling the Christmas light displays and the winter-flowering shrubs (Witch Hazel, Viburnum x bodnantense ‘Dawn’, Mahonia x media ‘Charity’) were barely showing any colour. So the garden had to stand on its own merits, which are essentially the structure of the overall landscape design (that is currently undergoing changes) and the bare bones of the many dormant trees and shrubs. Yet there is another element to the winter garden which seems to defy definition, something more ephemeral that the plants, water features and hard landscape that define the parameters of what we call a civilized green space. There is little substance to this mysterious element, and to be honest, it

(From left) Berberis thunbergii, Stewartia monadelpha and Cornus sanguinea ‘Midwinter Fire’. really isn’t any one thing. It is borne of freeze and thaw, light and shadow, the warmth of the sun, the cold touch of a winter’s breeze and the fact that we are there to witness it. But being thick-headed Homo sapiens, we were slow to appreciate this subtle beauty, and since there weren’t any flowers about, we went looking for some berries on the Mountain Ash trees in the arboretum instead. We arrived to find that the Varied

Thrushes had devoured all the red and orange fruit, with only the amber berries of Sorbus ‘Joseph Rock’ still intact and positively glowing in the low, fleeting sun. A few steps later we encountered more berries lost in the frosted bare branches of a Fishbone Cotoneaster (C. horizontalis), looking like some bright red beetles caught in an intricate spider’s web. And then there were the perfect tiny scarlet beads of a Japanese Bar-

berry (Berberis thunbergii) dangling like jewels against a tapestry of fallen leaves carpeting the forest floor below. Throughout the garden there were silver-painted branches still stuck into the ground by the paths as part of the Festival of Lights display, but my daughter noticed what appeared to be a thicket of them at a distance and asked me why they had put so many way out

there. I knew what we were looking at, the shining white stems (they are actually purple, covered with a heavy white bloom) of Ghost Bramble, or Rubus thibetanus, and I told Rochelle that that was nature’s silver paint. A few steps over a magnificent Cornus sanguinea ‘Midwinter Fire’ was vying for our attention, with its red-tipped orange stems looking like it was in flames as the winter sun flickered upon it. The temperature started dropping as the shadows encroached, so Rochelle and I started walking back and as we crossed paths with a Stewartia monadelpha she enticed us with the lines of her elegant trunk covered in flaky cinnamon brown to orange bark. We left VanDusen without seeing any botanical specimens in their prime, but content in the knowledge that the best part of a winter garden moment is that there is nothing that we can do to enhance or improve upon it – it unfolds exactly as planned, regardless of our inputs. The stems still shine brightly, the shadows shift, the berries gleam and the bark peels all right on cue whether or not we stop to appreciate it, but just being there also makes you a part of this fleeting seasonal canvas.

Basketball briefs

titans quiet the thunder The SRT junior girls basketball team dominated the court against their rival Thomas Haney Thunder in their league home opener, with an impressive 49-9 win. The leading scorers included Katelyn Erhardsen with 16 points and Jen Lord with 14. SRT’s girls continued their winning streak Tuesday against Pitt Meadows. The Titans were victorious with a score of 43-19 in front of their home crowd. The ladies held their ground with tough team defence. The Titans now sit 3-0 in league play, with their toughest match-up coming next week against an always strong MRSS Ramblers team. The Titans battle Ridge on Thursday the 24th at SRT.

Ramblers girls beat Tweedsmuir The Ramblers senior girls basketball team beat Lord Tweedsmuir (Surrey) by a score of 73-33 on Tuesday at Maple Ridge secondary. Junior national team player Kolbie Orum led the sixth-ranked Ramblers with 23 points, nine rebounds and five steals. Kirby Marchand had 14 points and four steals, while Jane Grisley and Devan Cousins scored 12 points each.

Severinski wins in return to the Valley Pitt Meadows Marauders basketball standout Trevor Severinski enjoyed a triumphant return to the Fraser Valley with his new team, the Saskatchewan Huskies. In Canada West action, the Huskies beat the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades 90-82 on Friday night, and Severinski played 22 minutes, putting up eight points and getting three rebounds. On Saturday they beat the Trinity Western University Spartans 92-85. Severinski’s coach continued to show confidence in the rookie forward, as he was given 21 minutes of floor time, and scored two points. Severinski said he was looking forward to playing against his former Pitt teammate Matt Blackaby, who is a rookie with the Spartans this year. Unfortunately, with a tight score and games in the CIS being so critical, Blackaby did not see get any playing time.

Adam Day takes on the job of director of coach development for the West Coast Auto Group Football Club, and heads up the micro program. Day’s experience includes coaching at a residential youth academy in Greece for English football giants Arsenal. He is on the job in Maple Ridge.

A new Day for soccer coaches wCAGFC club hires director of coaching development with european background as both a player and coach by Ne i l Co r b e t t staff reporter

The new director of coach development for the West Coast Auto Group Football Club has impressive credentials. The local soccer club announced Adam Day will be a key member of its coaching staff. He will head up both the micro program, and teach the club’s many volunteer coaches how to be better at their job. He grew up in Kent, England with dreams of becoming a professional footballer. He apprenticed with Charleton Athletic of the English Premier League, and AFC Bournemouth of the second division. He also played two seasons of semi-pro soccer with Fisher Athletic of London. Day enrolled at the University of Science and Arts at Oklahoma in 2002, located in Chickasha, which is a small town near Oklahoma city. He played for the Drovers in the NAIA, and ended as the team’s all-time assists leader. Day arrived in the Lower Mainland to try out for the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2007. He made the cut down to a 26-player roster, but he had the misfortune of playing centre midfield, and the team was well stocked with talent at the position – including the popular Martin Nash. Though his soccer journey, Day acquired a prestigious UEFA A licence, and while he did not make the Whitecaps, he was able to coach at the North Shore Development Centre, then with Quest University in Squamish.

Adam Day prefers to teach young soccer players to make things happen. His opportunity to work for Arsenal came from “a phone call out of the blue,” he said. They offered the opportunity for him to be the head coach and technical director for their youth academy in Greece. “It was exactly what I needed at that point in my career,” he said of 18 months at the facility. “I loved the experience.” The Gunners are known for bringing all their firepower to bear, and their uptempo offensive style has rubbed off on Day. “Play the Arsenal way,” is a catch phrase, and that means quick, attacking soccer. Players are encouraged to pass and move, and to put pressure on defences with talent. They are taught a brand of soccer that is easy to love, both for players and fans,

he said. “Be brave on the ball,” players are told, “try to make things happen.” He said that was a contrast to traditional Greek soccer, which is at a slower pace, lower pressure, and designed to allow players to finish games in searing Mediterranean heat. When he first tried to get his players to perform with the intensity of English players in 40 C heat, “the guys looked at me like I was mad,” he said. But eventually he saw players taking strides in their game. Day said it is never a problem to get B.C. players to understand intensity and hard work. “The one thing you always get with Canadian players is the work rate – they’ll run through the proverbial brick wall.” He said the local club may one day need to define a system of play that is taught uniformly by every coach at every level. “The top clubs across the world all have a style they play, and a philosophy. And they all believe their way is the right way.” As he starts his job in with the WCAGFC, what he teaches will be more generic, such as ensuring that players in practice get numerous touches on the ball. But Day is ambitious, and so is the club’s leadership. “Within five to 10 years, we can be the No. 1 club in the Lower Mainland,” he said. “Adam is a fantastic addition to our staff. One of our goals was to provide the entire community with professional leadership that was capable of making the WCAGFC a premier soccer provider,” said club president Chris Begg. “Providing all club coaches with a program that will advance their own technical training will ultimately provide a direct benefit to all of our playing members. Our coaches will have even more tools to help each player to develop to their maximum potential.”

Four Ridge wrestlers medal Four Maple Ridge secondary wrestlers medalled last weekend at the BC Age Class Wrestling Tournament in Kamloops. Payten Smith continued her two-year unbeaten streak, winning all five of her matches

en route to a gold medal. At the other end of the mat, Cam Hicks suffered his first loss in over a year, and had to settle for silver. Two Port Moody wrestlers, Ciara McCrae and Jessica Nor-

wicky, earned silver and bronze medals respectively. They travelled with the Ridge contingent. But overall, the team was disappointed to not have more of its wrestlers medal, with 14 others in the contingent.

Tarin Richardson of MRSS in Maple Ridge (top) gives Flint Patterson of Terry Fox Secondary (bottom) in PoCo a hard landing at the War on the Floor. The team was in Kamloops last weekend.

“Probably one of the worst performances in the history of Ridge wrestling,” commented a coach Bill McCrae. In other wrestling news, Payten Smith was named to the B.C. team for the Canada Summer Games held in Quebec in August. “All of Payten’s hard work is paying off. Undefeated in over two year – no points scored upon at last year’s provincials ... and not one point scored on her this year – truly an amazing athlete,” said McCrae.

The Ridge Meadows Rustlers, who rank 12th among pee wee A1 teams in B.C., won bronze at the annual Chilliwack Christmas hockey tournament. The Rustlers played hard against some of the top teams in the Lower Mainland, going through roundrobin play with a 3-3 record, which included a win over thirdranked Surrey, and advanced to the bronze-medal game. In that contest, the Rustlers faced a solid group from Seattle. Both

teams battled in what was the seventh game of the tournament for each, with Ridge prevailing 3-2 in overtime. Tonight the pee wees go prime time. They host Richmond, sixth in Tier 1, at Cam Neely Arena at 7 p.m. It is the ice time normally reserved for the Ridge Meadows Flames, but the junior B team is on the road. “It would be a great opportunity to come out and support your local youth in their efforts, as they

play against a very good Richmond squad,” said Rustlers associate coach Prescott Bell. “The A1 Rustlers have battled hard all season long, even if the wins have been few and far between. Minor hockey is about developing quality young people in our community through physical activities, attention to school and working as a team. This group of 11- and 12-year-old boys and girls is a great example of this on and off the ice.”

It’s been 6 years In loving memory of a Great Mom

VANDENBRINK, Michiel Laurentius September 5, 1928 January 13, 2013

To hear your voice and see your smile To sit with you and talk awhile. To be together in the same old way Would be our greatest wish today. So please God take a message

After a long illness, Mike passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of Sunday January 13th. Born in Utrecht, the Netherlands, Mike immigrated to British Columbia, Canada in 1953 where he built a successful business in the lower mainland and raised his family. Mike’s zest for life could always be seen in the sparkle in his eyes and was infectious to all who knew him.

To our precious Mom up above. Tell her we miss her terribly And give her all our love. Love Bob & Donna
