Police thought injured man just drunk by Amy Steele asteele@mrtimes.com

Fifty-ﬁve-year-old Ian Young didn’t receive medical treatment for a brain injury before being taken to the Ridge Meadows RCMP drunk tank cell and he lay for several hours in one position before he was found unresponsive on the morning of October 18, 2008. His cellmate testiﬁed there was a pool of clear liquid around his head when he was found. The inquest into Young’s death has highlighted a range of issues such as the lack of detox facilities in the Maple Ridge area, the treatment of people with alcohol problems by police, whether paramedics have the medical expertise to clear prisoners for police cells, and whether jury recommendations from other inquests where people died in similar circumstances in RCMP cells have been implemented by police. The inquest heard that Young had been

drinking at By Baileys Pub in Hammond and told friends he was walking home. Adam Tuck testiﬁed at the inquest that he was coming home from work when he saw a man laying on his back half on the sidewalk and half on the road so he pulled over to help. Tuck said Young answered his questions in broken sentences and mentioned something about having smacked his head on pavement. “Anything I asked him it took two or three seconds before an answer came,” said Tuck. “It seemed like an odd way of responding.” Tuck called an ambulance. Paramedics arrived and he saw them sit Young up, drag him to the back of the ambulance and sit him on the bumper. Tuck said he could see a wound on the back of Young’s head that was “slightly larger than a toonie” and it was wet. He said he mentioned it to the paramedics. Tuck said Young was “very limp” when being moved by paramedics. Tuck’s 911 call was played and in the call Tuck told the operator that Young may

have banged his head and described him as “conscious but sort of barely.” Paramedic Ross Chute said when he first saw Young he was “supine” on the road and sidewalk and smelled of beer. When he examined him he found a small abrasion on his head. Chute said he asked Young three times if he wanted to go to the hospital and each time he refused and eventually signed a form to that effect. Chute admitted that Young’s legs “would buckle” as they tried to stand him up from the bumper of the ambulance and get him to the police car and that Young vomited while in the police cruiser. He said he told the police officer that they’d found a small abrasion on his head but Young was refusing to go to the hospital. Chute said he told the police officer that police needed to observe him and phone the ambulance service back if his condition changed. Eliana Tomescu, who was going on a ridea-long in the ambulance that night because

she was interested in becoming a paramedic at the time, said she noticed that the back of Young’s head looked wet from blood and she could smell alcohol. She said paramedics had “great, great difﬁculty” getting him into the police car and she said Young was “like a puppet” and “very disoriented.” She said she heard the paramedics ask him “numerous times” if he wanted to go to the hospital and he refused. Another paramedic, Ronald Henderson, said he told the police ofﬁcer who arrived on the scene, Jodi Lymburner, that Young needed to be monitored and to call the ambulance for reassessment if necessary. Henderson said paramedics are “not physicians” and can’t clear people for RCMP cells. He said paramedics “gather information and pass it on to the hospital” and physicians make the determination.

Fifth best place to invest in Canada Infrastructure improvements make Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows attractive to potential real estate investment. by Jesse Kinos-Goodin

Police catch four drunk drivers During the night shifts on Tuesday, Aug. 10, and Wednesday, Aug. 11, Ridge Meadows RCMP investigated four more incidents of drivers operating their vehicles while impaired by alcohol. In one incident the driver was nearly three times the legal limit. Fortunately police were able to locate and safely stop these drivers before they ended up crashing their vehicles, which could have caused injuries to themselves, as well as innocent motorists. “Police take incidents of driving while impaired very seriously,” said Inspector Derren Lench. “Ridge Meadows RCMP continue to make this crime a priority, so if you drink and drive, expect to be stopped and charged. If you plan on consuming alcohol, make plans for a safe ride home before you go out. Please help us make our roads among the safest in the world.”

Cable theft cuts off 1,100 customers Telus was busy repairing its telephone lines on Wednesday after thieves stole about 50 metres of cable from 104 Avenue. The cable theft caused service disruption for about 1,100 customers. The RCMP and Telus were investigating the theft which left some customers without 911 access or other telecommunications services. Phone services were restored around noon the same day. A Telus spokesperson said not only does cable theft cut customers off from 911, businesses depend on their services for credit and debit card transactions. Telus is asking anyone who saw anything suspicious to call the RCMP. The Ridge Meadows RCMP can be reached at 463-6251.

Postmedia Network

aple Ridge and Pitt Meadows were listed as the fifth best place to invest in Canada, according to the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN), a national organization of investors. Don Campbell, president of REIN, says the results are based on factors such as planned transportation improvements, or if the area’s average income, population and job growth are increasing faster than provincial averages. The TransLink and Gateway Project infrastructure improvements have made Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows the “most accessible regions in the Lower Mainland,” the report says. They’ve come a long way, Campbell says. The unofficial motto of Maple Ridge used to be “You can’t get there from here.” As a result of poor infrastructure in the past, property values have been historically low in this area. But with the improvements, it’s predicted an additional 400 business will move into the area, REIN says. On a list of the ten best places to invest, the two communities were just behind their neighbour to the south, Surrey, which came in fourth. Surrey is B.C.’s second-largest city and is growing so fast it could become even bigger than Vancouver. “Just a decade ago, it was known as the punch line to many a joke,” Campbell says. But with two border crossings to the United States, links to five major highways, deep sea docks and four railways, Surrey is a prime location to do business, he says. On the list, Calgary came in first as the best place to invest, Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge, Ont., second and Edmonton, third.

The Golden Ears Bridge has opened up Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to markets to the south, prompting the communities to be identified as good places to invest. Troy Landreville/TIMES

Cop’s fate to be decided in September by Amy Steele

asteele@mrtimes.com

judge will decide at the end of September whether a former Ridge Meadows RCMP officer is guilty of assault causing bodily harm for punching a man in the face and knocking out two teeth. Const. Ed Fox was charged for his actions while arresting Matthew Gregg for causing a disturbance in September 2006. Court heard Fox and another police officer were called to Villa Torni Apartments in Maple Ridge due to a domestic dispute between Fox and his girlfriend on a day she had decided to move out. She testified she decided to move out because Gregg had grabbed her by the hair at a Haney Place Mall parking lot and dragged her to the ground. She testified he’d been abusive towards her on other occasions and that she was afraid of him the day she was trying to move out. She said Gregg was yelling and pounding on the door of the apartment and so she called police. Crown prosecutor Andrea Spence said in her closing argument that the Crown has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt “that the accused actions were not justified under

section 25 of the criminal code, which permits the police to use force in the course of their duties.” “Section 25 and section 26 of the code provide police officer if he acts on reasonable grounds may use as much force as is necessary to do anything he is required or authorized by law to do in the administration or enforcement of the law but if he uses more force than is necessary he is criminally responsible for the excess force,” she said. She added that in case law “there’s no requirement for the office to use the least amount of force because the case law says this may expose the officer to unnecessary danger himself.” “The courts have acknowledged that police officer’s duties often leave them in difficult and dangerous circumstances in which they are required to make quick decisions that can have serious consequences. Certainly the decision in this case had serious consequences for Mr. Gregg’s teeth. No one has disputed those injuries. We saw that he now wears a denture,” said Spence. Const. Fox testified that while arresting Gregg he asked if he had any weapons and Gregg muttered that he might. He said Gregg began

kicking at him and he thought if Gregg, who was a much larger man than him, kicked him in the knee “he was done.” Fox said Gregg was yelling and swearing and he thought he was going to “advance” towards him. Gregg was handcuffed at the time. Fox said he intended to punch Gregg in the jaw but got him in the mouth. Both Crown and defence lawyers called experts on use of force by RCMP to testify at the trial. Spence said the Crown expert admitted under cross-examination that if Fox thought Gregg was going to kick him in the knee then the punch in the face wasn’t excessive force. Spence pointed out that both experts didn’t consider punching someone in the face to be “an ideal technique” but agreed it was “within the range of force” officers can use and that officers are trained to hit people in the jaw if necessary. Spence said Fox immediately admitted he had punched Gregg and knocked his teeth out. “Otherwise I say there may have been some confusion about what may have caused the injuries because (Fox’s partner) took Mr. Gregg to the ground face first with no ability to protect his fall because his hands

were handcuffed behind his back,” said Spence. Spence pointed out Gregg has a criminal record and she said the judge may decide to be “cautious” about relying on his evidence. She said Gregg denied kicking at the police officer and said he was being kicked by them. Gregg testified when he turned to ask Fox to stop kicking him, he was punched in the mouth. However, the other police officer on the scene testified Gregg had kicked at Fox. Gregg said he didn’t know what he was being arrested for but Fox said Gregg knew. “What’s not in dispute is that Mr. Gregg was punched, where he was punched. He lost two teeth and he suffered an injury that’s more than trifling,” said Spence. Provincial Court judge Pedro de Couto brought up testimony by the landlady that Gregg planned to go after the police for some money to get his teeth fixed and Gregg didn’t deny that in his testimony. Defence lawyer G. Jack Harris made a very brief closing argument in which he said he agreed with the Crown’s closing statement. “At the end of the day the presumption of innocence is still a pretty powerful concept,” said Harris.

❚ News Inquest

Man unresponsive for hours INQUEST, From Page 1 Const. Jodi Lymburner testified that paramedics told her Young was very intoxicated and that he’d signed a form that he didn’t want further medical attention. She said they didn’t tell her he had a head injury. “They said he was fit for incarceration,” she said. “They didn’t give me any instructions to watch him.” Lymburner said one paramedic told her Young was just drunk and he didn’t want to take him to the hospital because he’d be sitting with him for hours. She said after Young was in her police cruiser he appeared “to be passed out from drinking.” When they got to the police station Young was rolled onto a blanket and dragged on the blanket to the drunk tank cell. She testified she did not check Young over before he was put in the cell. Lymburner said a guard told her the next morning that he had suggested to the watch commander that they call an ambulance due to concern about Young’s condition but the watch commander said Young was just highly intoxicated and sleeping it off.

Lymburner, who was going off shift, then went to check on Young with another corporal. Young was still in the same position he’d been in when Lymburner first saw him in the cell. He was still breathing but police couldn’t rouse him. Young’s cellmate Willem Vanderblom, who admitted Ridge Meadows RCMP has arrested him for public drunkenness about 40 times, said he wakes up whenever anyone comes into the cell and no one entered the cell he and Young were in until the morning. He said in the morning when police officers entered Young was lying on the concrete floor with his chest bare and his shirt rolled up and he had clear liquid coming from his head. Police took Vanderblom to another cell. Vanderblom said there are no detox facilities near Maple Ridge and the Surrey detox centre always has a two or three week wait so when you’re picked up by police you end up in the drunk tank. Vanderblom said he’d prefer to be hospitalized when withdrawing because “the DTs are very bad” but he’s gone to the hospital and they won’t take him. Vanderblom said Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows need

a sobering or detox centre for people like himself. Vanderblom said he’s been homeless for the last four years and said on multiple occasions he’s been “roughed up” by police during arrests. He said he’s suffered a broken collarbone and police broke his nose two weeks ago. Ward has requested that the inquest hear from Deputy Chief Coroner Norm Leibel and Deputy Commissioner of the RCMP’s E Division Gary Bass. Ward said “people like Mr. Young die fairly routinely in RCMP drunk tanks.” He said coroner’s juries have been making recommendations to police for decades about such deaths and he wants to find out from the coroner’s officer and RCMP headquarters what has happened with the recommendations from previous inquests. “It begs the question and has to be answered by someone in authority... Why aren’t guard and police officers and ambulance attendants more vigilant in cases such as this? They happen regularly,” said Ward. The inquest was expected to continue Friday after press time.

Prisons

Crowded jails prepare for Tamil migrants T

he union for correctional ofﬁcers is expressing concern about the possibility of Tamil migrants being housed at already overcrowded prisons in Maple Ridge. A ship carrying migrants from Sri Lanka, The MV Sun Sea, had been spotted west of Ucluelet Thursday morning, according to the Victoria Times Colonist. John Leeburn, executive director to the chief administrative ofﬁcer at the District of Maple Ridge, said wardens at Fraser Regional Correctional Centre and Alouette Correctional Centre for Women have been told to prepare for around 100 male and 80 female migrants. Dean Purdy, chairman of the Corrections and Sheriffs Services unit of the B.C. Government Employees Union, said he’s heard varying numbers about how many migrants could be arriving. “The issue around additional boats and additional numbers is concerning for us because we’ve heard anywhere in the ball park of an additional 500 on top of (The MV Sun Sea) boat so that is concerning because the nine jails in B.C. are currently running at just below 200 per cent above capacity. We are more

than full,” said Purdy. “The Fraser Regional Correctional Centre was built to house 254 men and now houses up to 550. Increasing the jails with an additional 200 or 300 (inmates) can turn an already pressure cooker situation into turmoil.” Purdy said the union is concerned that staffing levels won’t be increased despite potentially hundreds of migrants being housed in Maple Ridge prisons. “That is a concern for us. Our concern is not only for the correctional officers that have to work in such onerous conditions but also for the communities with prisons,” he said. Purdy said the union would like to see the government come up with an “alternative solution.” “Have another facility or another institution maybe that’s closed in the past,” he said. Purdy pointed to an assault on a male correctional officer at Fraser Regional Correctional Centre on Tuesday as an example of the challenges prison guards face in overcrowded jails. “There was a pretty serious staff assault on Tuesday night,” said Purdy. “A male correctional officer was attacked by an inmate and was taken to the ground and ultimately suffered a broken wrist and some bruising to his shoulder... The violence

levels have risen significantly and this latest assault shows just how dangerous our job is.” Jess Gunnarson, spokesperson for B.C. Corrections Branch, said he couldn’t confirm where the migrants would be housed “for both privacy and security reasons.” “I think it’s important to keep in mind at this point that it’s still somewhat premature. We don’t have confirmation of the boats arriving,” said Gunnarson on Thursday morning. “A number of the operational decisions we need to make as a branch really can’t be made until it’s confirmed as far as the numbers of people who are arriving, the demographics of those folks and their backgrounds so with that context we’re quite confident that once the time arrives we’ll be able to ramp up our operations to be at a point where we can address that need. We have a longstanding agreement with our federal partners to meet that demand and we’re confident that we’ll be able to do so once and if the time arrives.” Leeburn said the District of Maple Ridge trusts that B.C. Corrections Branch will be able to effectively handle the situation. “They run prisons up there 365 days of the year so we’ll leave the prisons to them,”

he said. “There’s a good relationship between the prison and ourselves so if there were any concerns from the prison staff about their ability to manage I assume they would share those with us and they haven’t ... We have no information on their capacity, how they’re going to house them. We have to trust that they know what they’re doing and they’ll do it safely.”

Two pedestrians hit on Dewdney

A two-car collision sent two female pedestrians to hospital on Tuesday afternoon. The incident occurred at about 12:45 p.m. in the 22200 block of Dewdney Trunk Road in Maple Ridge. As the two female pedestrians were crossing the road, a 2003 Volkswagen Golf struck the rear end of a Toyota Matrix, which had stopped for the pedestrians. Members of the

B.C. Ambulance Service and Maple Ridge Fire Department were at the scene along with Ridge Meadows RCMP. The 62-year-old woman suffered a concussion and whiplash, while her 51-year-old friend had bruises and scrapes. The injuries are thought to be nonlife threatening. A 55-year-old Pitt Meadows man was charged with driving without due care under the Motor Vehicle Act.

Household appliances stolen from garage Ridge Meadows RCMP are investigating a break-in to a residence in the 9900-block of 280 Street in Maple Ridge. A rear bathroom window was pried open, as was a door on the detached garage. Two fridges, a washing machine, and dryer were stolen, with one of the fridges coming

from the garage. A neighbour heard a loud truck at about 4:30 a.m. early Monday morning. Police patrols, however, failed to locate the truck and the neighbour was not able to give any further description of the vehicle or suspects.

You & The Law ACCIDENT MUST “CAUSE” THE LOSS BTM LAWYERS LLP

By Janice Mucalov, LL.B.

LAWYERS & TRADEMARK AGENTS

For a wrongdoer to be liable for negligence, the negligent act must have caused your loss or injury. Sometimes that’s very clear. The defendant’s car rear-ends your vehicle and you suffer a neck injury as a result; it’s obvious that the defendant’s negligence caused your whiplash. Other times it’s less apparent. In many cases, there is more than one potential cause of the injury or damage. Two Supreme Court of Canada cases have tried to clarify this complicated area of law. In one, Ralph Hanke was badly burned when he mistakenly placed the water hose into the gas tank of the ice surfacing machine he was operating at an Edmonton ice rink. When hot water overﬁlled the gas tank, vapourized gas was released into the air, causing an explosion and ﬁre. Hanke sued the maker and distributor of the machine, claiming that the similar-looking water and gas tanks were placed close together and it was easy to confuse the two. The Supreme Court of Canada said that the main test of causation is the “but for” test. The plaintiff must show that the injury or loss would not have occurred “but for” the negligent act or omission of the defendant. The court added that this test is intended to ensure that a plaintiff will only receive compensation where a “substantial connection” exists between the defendant’s conduct and the injury. There will be no liability where the plaintiff’s loss or damage may be “due to other factors not connected to the defendant and not the fault of anyone.” The court ultimately sided with the trial judge. He had used a “but for” test of causation and decided that but for Hanke putting the water hose into the gas tank, the explosion would not have occurred. Hanke knew which tank was which, and his own unfortunate carelessness was responsible for his injuries, not design defects of the ice machine. The court dismissed Hanke’s lawsuit. In the second case, the Supreme Court of

Canada conﬁrmed that a defendant’s negligent act doesn’t have to be the only cause of a plaintiff’s loss or injury, so long as it’s a material contributing factor. Jon Athey was a 43-year old autobody repairman and bodyshop manager with a history of minor back problems. He was involved in two motor vehicle accidents two months apart that left him with a stiff back and neck. Some months later, he went to a gym on his doctor’s advice, where he injured his lower back during warmup exercises. He had to be hospitalized for three weeks for disc herniation surgery. While he recovered reasonably well, he couldn’t return to his former job, and had to get another less physically demanding position. At trial, the BC Supreme Court found that the two accidents only played a minor role in causing the disc herniation, and it ﬁxed the causation factor at 25% – reducing Athey’s compensation to 25% of what he would otherwise receive. But the Supreme Court of Canada disagreed: a defendant’s wrongful act doesn’t have to be the sole cause of the injury for that defendant to be fully liable. In this case, there was one indivisible injury – the disc herniation. Any defendant who negligently caused or contributed to it was fully liable. The accidents were a “necessary ingredient” in bringing about Athey’s disc herniation, and he recovered the full $221,516 of his damages. If you suffer loss, damage or injury as a result of another party’s wrongful or negligent act, you may wish to consult your lawyer.

Girl bitten by dog by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com

A 10-year-old girl was bitten in the face by a dog in Hammond on Friday afternoon after asking the owners if she could pet their dogs. The girl and a friend were petting the owner’s shih tzu when their other dog, a German shepherd-bull terrier cross attacked her and bit her in the face. The girl was taken to Ridge Meadows Hospital where she got numerous stitches. The attack took place on the 11000-block of Princess St. Both the RCMP and the SPCA were called to the home because of the incident. The owner told the SPCA she would be putting the dog down on Tuesday, according to SPCA spokesperson Lorie Chortyk, after what she called an “unfortunate” incident. The dog was three and a half years old and there had been no prior indication of aggression, Chortyk said.

LAWYERS PERSONAL INJURY

“We deemed the dog dangerous under (Maple Ridge) bylaws,” Chortyk said. Chortyk said the dog might have considered the girl’s behaviour as aggressive if she approached it face to face. “(Dogs) read human behaviour like they read another dog,” she said. Rather than an outright ban of certain dog breeds – which the SPCA opposes – there should be good municipal bylaws that would help cut down on dangerous incidents, Chortyk said. For example, there should be strong bylaws around spaying and neutering animals, dogs-at-large so they don’t travel in packs, licensing breeders and licensing and identifying dogs. If there were a centralized database for dog bites, it would also help to identify dogs that have been aggressive in the past, Chortyk said. The B.C. SPCA has information on its website on how to approach dogs. Go to www.spca.bc.ca.

Former Vancouver mayor Phillip Owen said it best last Friday when he was interviewed by the media on the Pickton case: “What a big mess.” Last week, gruesome details emerged after materials under a publication ban were released to the media. There’s no point in repeating them all here – but what does bear repeating is the one that could have made all the difference. Back in 1997, one of Pickton’s chosen victims escaped after defending herself with a knife. Both Pickton and she ended up in the same hospital. Their bloody clothes were taken as evidence and then someone decided that the victim would not have been a credible witness and the case did not proceed to court. That evidence stayed in a locker for seven years before someone, apparently, went looking for it. Last week before all of this information was released to the public, a spokesperson for the Vancouver Police Department apologized on behalf of the police force for not catching Pickton sooner. We can now appreciate that he was probably aware of all the information that was about to surface – and that it would not put the police or prosecutors in a good light. But, it is also clear that the VPD can only share some of the blame for letting a monster continue to kill innocent women. Where are the apologies from prosecutors or other police jurisdictions? And where is the accounting for what turned out to be a pivotal error in the case. There are understandable cries for a public inquiry into the whole mess. But will this reveal anything we don’t already know? Marginalized women, such as prostitutes, simply don’t get the same time or respect from police and authorities. No surprise there. Will an inquiry result in changes to a system that is, for the most part, merely reﬂecting society’s view of these women? Perhaps an inquiry will reveal individuals in the policing and judicial system, who, through neglect or indifference, botched up the case. But we believe that the problem lies deeper than missed evidence – it resides in a society that still views some people as more valuable than others.

Tamil migrants need compassion

As Maple Ridge prisons await the arrival of a boat – or perhaps several boats – full of Tamil migrants from Sri Lanka, it’s important to keep in mind some, or many, of the people may be legitimate refugee claimants and not all Tamil Tigers. Many people around the world board ships in dangerous conditions out of desperation for a better life and deserve a safe haven in Canada. ■ Your View This week’s question Is the new harmonized sales tax affecting your household budget? 68.75% YES NO

HST at thrift stores is double-dipping Editor: I am a disabled mother of a six-year-old who, like everyone else, is having a hard time getting by on the income that I bring in. I shop at thrift stores for clothes and miscellaneous stuff. I cannot afford to shop for things brand new. I am wondering how the thrift stores can charge HST on items that have been already taxed when the person who donated the items has already paid tax on them when they bought the items brand new. I think that there is a problem with our system if we as citizens cannot find a way of keeping the tax on some things in this province of ours off. I have a problem with paying tax on used merchandise that has been donated. The thrift stores are making money off all our donations. My other question would also be why as a person who donates and as a buyer at the thrift stores, we don’t get a receipt of some kind for the money we have donated by buying the merchandise for sale. The thrift stores say that all or a percentage of your money that you spend goes to not-for-proﬁt organizations, so in the scheme of things, why as buyers of the merchandise don’t we get a tax receipt for donating and buying the merchandise that goes as a donation to these organizations. I would love to know the answer to both these questions because I feel

like I am getting ripped off in the way of tax dollars. Anita Timm Maple Ridge

Better planning needed for Hammond Editor: Re: Hammond rich with history, July, 31, 2010 I read your recent front page article on the Hammond neighbourhood with a degree of sadness and resignation. The article takes us through the rich history of Hammond then points out the increasing development pressures and challenges this historic neighbourhood is facing. Val Patenaude points out correctly that with Hammond’s strategic location and the new bridge open, development pressure will rapidly increase in this area of fairly low cost real estate. Val also states that Hammond residents need to form a community association and that it will take “the will of residents” to keep the local charm and character. In my opinion, a vocal community organization should not be a mandatory pre-requisite for a neighbourhood to get decent representation from the municipality. In the case of Hammond, frankly, a lot of people are too busy working at jobs, renovating old homes and generally going about their own business. Hammond folk are not incessant complainers. People expect elected

mayor and council as well as municipal staff to do their jobs and to follow the guidelines and principles that are supposed to shape the community. That is the “will of the residents.” All too often, ofﬁcial community plans, local area plans and zoning bylaws and plans are tossed aside in order to make a project viable for a developer. We currently have processes in place to allow the public to comment, although with my recent experience at city hall, one has to wonder if the time and energy spent researching and then speaking intelligently about a project has any effect at all on the outcome or is even considered. I spoke to mayor and council a a public hearing on the proposed Maple Crescent industrial project. I feel I had some expertise

to offer – I have been a resident of Hammond for six years, I was on the advisory design panel for four years, and I work as a registered landscape architect. I am not opposed to development in Hammond or Maple Ridge. My concern is that development proceeds with the best interests of the community at the forefront and that the development fits its context and fits with an overall vision and plan that the community has agreed to. The recent proposal to rezone properties on Maple Crescent to permit an industrial tilt up concrete building in the historic central core of Hammond fails to follow basic sound planning principles from the community planning scale right down to the site-specific plan that was developed. Furthermore, in order to

proceed, the project requires significant variances from the OCP and required setbacks, where there is clearly a need for landscape buffering to the adjacent community. It did not take a lot of searching to find this project contravened 11 principles set out in the first section of the OCP, which I presented to mayor and council. Regarding the specifics of the site plan proposed for the Maple Crescent project, there are numerous physical aspects of the proposed development which contravene basic accepted planning principals and set a dangerous precedent for future ad-hoc rezoning and inappropriate development in Hammond. Completely perplexing to me is the fact that the rather featureless concrete building is designed to functionally face its back

to the street, as if mirroring the apparent attitude of the district to local Hammond residents. Doesn’t Hammond already bear enough of Maple Ridge’s industrial zoning without putting another isolated industrial building in the centre of the neighbourhood? Or are there plans for more projects such as this to go forward? There are many vacant land parcels nearby that could be consolidated, allowing more ad-hoc industrial rezoning in Hammond. Is that “the will of the residents”? Not as far as I know. Plainly put, I can’t recall any project I’ve seen that so ﬂew in the face of commonsense. There is no vision for Hammond in place and no commitment to protect and enhance its historic assets. R. Dafoe Hammond

Movie GEMS at the ACT

The Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Arts Council will host a sixevening feature film series, sponsored by the TIMES, as part of the 2010-2011 season at The ACT Main Stage Theatre. The Golden Ears Movie Series (GEMS) will make the best of recent Canadian and international films available to local audiences, said Arts Council executive director Lindy Sisson. “The ACT has acquired a top-of-the-line digital projector with the assistance of the Maple Ridge Spirit Committee, and we are putting this new asset to work,” said Sisson. “We are also fortunate to have access to the ‘Film Circuit’ program of the Toronto International Film Festival, which offers the festival’s library of top-rated films to communities across

Canada.” An organizing committee of volunteers is assisting Arts Council staff on the project. The committee has selected three films for fall 2010. The menu for early 2011 will be confirmed later this year as more choices become available. “Our intention is to present films that have had critical and popular success, but are not showing at nearby cinemas,” said GEMS organizing committee co-chair T.J. Hulstra, a Maple Ridge resident. “We hope to attract people who have enjoyed attending film festivals, film society showings and niche cinemas at various times in their lives, as well as anyone who just likes good movies.”

Markets heating up

There’s a lot happening in the coming weeks at both the Haney Farmers’ Market in Maple Ridge and Osprey Village Farmers’ Market in Pitt Meadows. Haney Farmers’ Market has borrowed a stage coach that can ﬁt four ponies, and will be offering rides Saturday at Brookﬁeld Farm, which is located at 20981 123 Ave at 210 Street beside Laityview Elementary School. This Sunday at Osprey Village, the market is supporting the Friends of the Library with a cookbook exchange. Bring a book, take a book or make a donation. Popular Celtic musician Nigel Tucker will be providing the entertainment for the day. Because of the popular demand of last weekend, there will be more bread, sweets, corn, popcorn and plenty of vegetables.

Osprey Village will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday and is located near the Fraser River at the south end of Bonson Road in Pitt Meadows. On Aug. 21, a well-known children’s entertainer Karma of the Art music will be under the music tent at Haney Farmers’ Market. It is also the garlic festival where there will be a celebration of the “stinking rose” at the cooking tent. Chef Richard Morrant will be featured in the celebration at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 22 is Osprey Village’s Doggie Parade at 1 p.m. There will be prizes for the best dressed, best singer and more. Dogs can also be treated to nail clips and a toe polish. The next Sunday at Osprey Village, Aug. 28, is their Doggie Days celebration.

Metro hosts nature photo course at Kanaka Creek

Mike Steﬁuk, an experienced naturephotographer will be guiding an adultoriented nature photography course at Kanaka Creek Regional Park Sunday. For ages 18 and up, beginner photographers can learn techniques for nature photography from one of the best nature photographers in British Columbia. It won’t be a technical workshop, but participants can expect to photograph wildlife such as crayﬁsh and coyotes, and also learn how to take pictures of smaller subjects such as glistening raindrops on leaves.

A park interpreter will give a brief introduction to Kanaka Creek Regional Park and then proceed to let Steﬁuk guide participants into using the area’s beautiful sandstone backdrop as inspiration. Participants will need to bring their own digital camera, and if possible can bring a tripod and submersible camera. The course is on Sunday, Aug. 15 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and will cost $5 per adult and $3 per senior. Participants will need to register and can call 432-6359 to do so or to get more information.

Club for girls who love to sing and dance

he B.C. Girls Choir is inviting girls aged nine to 13 to join SongClub-a high-level performing group for girls who love the idea of being in a Glee Club, singing and dancing to music and performing with friends. Fiona Blackburn, the artistic director for the B.C. Girls Choir, had the idea to create SongClub when she realized that there were too many young ladies who wanted to try out for a performing group but were either too shy, too busy, or afraid of not being good enough to join. “I want to provide a place where girls can participate for a couple of months and learn some interesting, inspiring and fun songs,” said Blackburn, a long-time resident of Maple Ridge. The girls in SongClub will get vocal training, meet new friends and then perform in a ﬁnal showcase at the end of the year. “Much like being in a Glee Club, all the girls need is an interest to sing and move.” Blackburn understands that an audition process can be too intimidating for girls, which is why there won’t be any auditions or try-outs. Each session is nine weeks long and the year is divided into three sessions.

Families can enrol their children in one, two, or all three sessions. Each session will contain different material than the last, giving girls participating in all three the chance to learn as many as 12 to 15 songs and participate in three performances. “I know that not all girls are dancers,” said Blackburn. “This is a non-threatening way for singers to start moving, and if the girls are natural dancers, they will learn to use their voices well, too.” As girls aged nine to 13 can sign up, Blackburn said that she knows it’s a wide age. “I have found that the young ones learn very quickly when they are with the older girls,” she said. “Older girls learn to mentor and they can manage more complicated parts of the routine or songs. Blackburn is a professional singer and educator who has performed everything from musical theatre to Celtic opera and has three degrees from UBC. The ﬁrst Maple Ridge session for SongClub will run on Tuesdays from 4:30 to 5:45 p.m., with the ﬁrst rehearsal on Sept. 14. Call Lynn at 542-1698 to register.

Frog safari in Alouette watershed

Maple Ridge’s ARMS and KEEPS are hosting their ﬁrst every frog safari this Sunday. The safari will start at 2 p.m. and participants will meet at the Dykes on Neaves Road along the Alouette River. Anyone who has wondered what types of frogs live in the Alouette watershed will be interested in this safari. There will be a talk on frogs along the

Alouette River by an experienced guide who has been working in streamside conservation, environmental education and species-at-risk management since 2005. The guide will also be giving an presentation after the safari at the CEED Centre. For more information call ARMS at 4676401.

Burrards booted from playoffs by Scott McKenzie

Brooke Anderson of Maple Ridge was picked up by the ‘94 White Rock Renegades last weekend, winning bronze in the 2010 Bantam Girls Canadian Fastpitch Championships. Anderson and the Renegades played against teams from Quebec, Ontario , Saskatchewan, Winnipeg and Vancouver Island. Each of the teams at the tournament, held in Victoria, had to finish within the top two of their provincial championships in order to qualify. The Renegades finished first in the Blue pool, only losing once to the host Victoria Devils. In the playoffs, the Renegades faced Saskatchewan and Anderson pitched a shutout in their 7-0 win. The next two games were against Ontario teams who beat White Rock 5-3 and 4-2. Those two losses came to the teams that won gold and silver in the tournament. Anderson has played with the Ridge Meadows Softball Association for eight years and her current club team is the ‘95 White Rock Renegades. Anderson will be trying out for Team B.C. softball on Aug. 14.

The Maple Ridge Burrards capped off one of their most productive seasons in the last five years Wednesday night, but none of them will remember it that way. With a 13-5 loss being the last of a four-game playoff losing streak after ending the season and starting the playoffs on such a high note, the Burrards will have to look towards next season to improve on their product. The WLA will always be looked upon as a threeteam league with New Westminster, Victoria and Coquitlam perennially leading the way and just one other spot available in the playoffs for the other four teams. The Burrards, though, are relatively set up to own that spot for at least the near future. Much of their offensive production this season came from their firstround draft picks of the last three seasons – Jarret Davis was a top-five scorer all season long, Joel Dalgarno is fully capable of seven-point outings and Curtis Dickson scored eight goals in five playoffs games. They’ve also got a competent goalie in Ron Schibild who led the league in goals against average over

Haney Neptunes off to provincials The Haney Neptunes were out in full force at the Fraser Valley Regional Swimming competition in Abbotsford last weekend and came home with 57 medals. Each of the Neptune’s medal winners have qualified for provincials, which will be held from Aug. 16 to 22 in Kamloops in water polo, synchronized swimming and racing. The P2 water polo team won gold at the regional competition while the P1 team won silver. One of the top performers from regionals was Matt Torres, who won gold in both 50-metre freestyle and 100-metre freestyle swimming. Torres also won two silver medals in 50-metre fly and 100-metre fly. Megan Neale was one of the top performers on the female side, taking home a bronze in the individual medley, silver in the 50-metre freestyle, gold in the 50-metre fly, and silver in the 100-metre freestyle events. Arianne Yeo won two bronze medals and a silver medal.

the course of the season. What the Burrards don’t have is depth and a lot of players itching to play for them, which is the case for those top-three teams. Alex Gajic wouldn’t even play in the WLA unless he was wearing a Salmonbellies jersey and could play with his brothers. And those three brothers – Alex, Ilija and Nenad Gajic – couldn’t be stopped in

the semifinals. Ilija had five points by the halfway point of game five and him and Alex combined for 44 points in five games. Depth was obviously an issue for Maple Ridge as six New West scorers were able to notch more than 15 points in the series, while not one Burrard was able to score more than 14. Depth will continue to be an issue for the Burarrds

as they continue to build through the draft. The talent is there, but these playoffs served as a wake-up call that they’re going to need more size up front in order to hang with the New Wests and Victorias of the world. However, the rebuilding process really only started with the 2008 draft when they picked Dalgarno and defender Tyler Codron in the ﬁrst round. Although in

hindsight they missed big in that draft when they didn’t select Dane Dobbie, whom Coquitlam snagged with the fifth pick. Dobbie led the league with 100 points in 18 games this season. Since then, though, Burrards coach Daren Fridge has been dead on in the draft and will need to continue that in order to fully make the jump to elite status in the WLA. The big names in the 2011 draft will be Coquitlam’s Jr. A captain Matt Beers, and possibly even a hometown pick in Maple Ridge’s Trevor Evans who played in Delta and Port Coquitlam this past season. New Westminster will go on to play the winner of the other semifinal series between the Coquitlam Adanacs and Victoria Shamrocks in what will be their fifth straight appearance in the WLA finals. Victoria leads that series three games to one and will have attempted to close out the series last night (Thursday). The ‘Bellies are looking to make the Mann Cup for the second straight year after losing at home last season to the Brampton Excelsiors.

Maple Ridge’s Victor Bartley has agreed to terms with Rögle BK, a Swedish professional ice hockey club. Bartley, 22, played last season in the New York Islanders’ system in the ECHL with the Utah Grizzlies before being called up to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the AHL. There were some discussions with Bartley and Bridgeport to try to make it work for another season, but playing overseas just seemed to be the better fit. “My agent called me and we were going over scenarios for next season and at first [Sweden] wasn’t even in our discussions,” he said. “He called me an hour later and told me he had an interesting offer to go play overseas and experience that kind of game.” In Bridgeport, Bartley played just eight games with the Tigers before tearing his tricep muscle and requiring surgery. Prior to that, Bartley had scored two goals as a defenceman in his short time there. The Tigers, the AHL affiliate of the Islanders, had

“I get pretty lost during the coach’s speeches or any meeting in general but as soon as it’s over one of the players comes up and explains everything so I don’t miss a thing.” Bartley also said Ken Jonsson, an ex-New York Islander who is the assistant coach of Rögle, has been mentoring him since he arrived. Rögle BK plays out of Angelholm, Sweden. Bartley described the town as “more of a summer hotspot” but the team does get a lot of media attention. He said that Rögle BK is the biggest sports attraction in Angelholm and that the team sells out its 5,000-seat stadium almost every game. The team has been generous to Bartley, giving him a car and an apartment upon arriving in Sweden just to make his transition even easier. Bartley will play the season for Rögle and then weigh his options on whether to stay in Sweden or come back to North America. “As of right now I haven’t really decided on that. My plan is to come over here and polish the skill side of my game and see what happens at the end of this season.”

invited Bartley to their rookie camp last September. Bartley played six seasons in the WHL-four with the Kamloops Blazers and two with the Regina Pats. In his ﬁnal season, he was named team captain of the Pats. Playing in Sweden will hopefully add another element to Bartley’s game with the bigger ice surface, which gives players more room to make plays. It also gives defencemen nightmares as there’s so much more space for the faster players to get around them. That’s something that Bartley has worked on over the summer. “I really improved my skating from last season so it’s been a smooth transition [to the big ice],” he said. Bartley is hoping to add more of an offensive skill set to his game, which will help to advance him further in North American hockey. Of course, there is still the language barrier that any North American player has to deal with when playing overseas. Luckily, Rögle is a young team (the average age per player is 23-years-old) and everyone on the team speaks ﬂuent English.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Your month of joy continues! Problems might not be solved, but they ebb. You might need to make a choice regarding a relationship, a relocation, or an opportunity Monday, Friday/Saturday. Hint: doing what you want, opting for expansion or under standing, for cheerfulness, for legal, publishing, international or educational “growth” is luckier than seeking to further your ambitions through a relationship. But start no new projects before Sept. 12. (Others might be skeptical toward you for the next two years if you show “naked ambition.” You might marry into another generation.)

Cancer June 21-July 22: Start nothing new before Sept. 12. Instead, apply yourself to ongoing projects, and protect these from supply disruptions, secondguessing, delays and mistakes. Your home life is very active now through early September – if not on the outside, then emotionally. A real estate deal could involve your career or prestige ambitions – but don’t start a new one: keep with what’s begun. A “long lost” acquaintance might get in touch – good, not spectacular. Sunday/Monday are romantic. Work succeeds Tuesday/Wednesday. Relationships turn volatile Thursday/Friday: a structural change is “destined.”

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Before Sept. 12, start no new projects, especially in legal, governmental, administrative, manufacturing, tax, charitable, spiritual, educational, far travel, publishing or similar areas. Your romantic, social and personal magnetism is at a great peak – take advantage, don’t stay home! However, since nothing new will work, focus (until Sept. 12) on people you’ve already met. If you’re after love, stand before old ﬂames, or present company. This week, your own sober outlook might subtly clash with kids, home, realty objectives – a partnership needs hope, assurance: give it!

Taurus April 20-May 20: Start no new projects before Sept. 12. Slowdowns, indecision, secondguessing, missed appointments and supply disruptions could “populate” the weeks ahead. An old ﬂame might return soon – if after Aug. 21, it could lead to strong romance! If that happens, you will need to dec ide whether this relationship has a long-term future. Many half-hidden, slowly evolving forces and “subconscious wrestling matches” exist here. But it could be exceptional! Early week demands a choice between chores/duties. Financial luck high Tuesday/ Wednesday. Love ﬁghts work, Thursday onward.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Defer new starts, projects, relationships until Sept. 12. Those begun now will meet indecision, delay and, ultimately, lack of heart – especially in monetary regions. Focus on what’s already started – and money (etc.) from the past. August is a fine time to revisit old haunts, friends – pleasure is certain, flirtation and a bit of heartquickening quite possible, too! A trip might interfere with your work demands: if so, you choose. Sunday/ Monday emphasize home, kids and a casual vs. profound choice (in relationships,law,intellect,travel). Romance, creative flows, Tuesday/Wednesday!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Start nothing new before Sept. 12, especially in social, investment, ﬁnancial and organizational zones. These areas might yield fruits from the past – be aware, ready to pluck them. (E.g., someone from an old social circle might call; or a past investment you couldn’t capture returns. Jump in, if you know it’s good.) A secret love could attract you August or early September. You might be wiser to wait until Sept. 9 onward, when your magnetism will soar! Vexations in communications/travel signal the need for a whole new system/vehicle, etc. – after Sept. 12.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Start nothing new, relationships nor projects, before Sept. 12. Delays, indecision, second-guessing and “no shows” increase. A former domestic matter, a prodigal child, a real estate idea/urge/project might return. This could be good, but be cautious: over the few months ahead, someone might oppose you in these areas. (This could take the form of unpredictable action by a cooperator or partner.) You’ve entered romantic territory. Early week, you face a choice between romance and friendship, or between being creative or social. Late week, DO NOT gamble with ﬁnances or sex!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Finish, advance ongoing projects. Refrain from starting anything new. A slowdown starts next week, lasting to Sept. 12. Sunday/ Monday could solidify a source of income,and/or bring a durable set of ideas, a practical “life philosophy” that helps you go forward steadily. Instability also lurks, if you allow pleasure or romantic notions to steer you away from duties or practical goals. Contemplate the different paths of earnings versus investments. You might make a choice between these now to mid2011. Rest, contemplate to Tuesday. Money’s good Friday/Saturday. A good week!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Defer new starts until Sept. 12 onward – especially in relationships, career, VIP relations, litigation, negotiation, relocation and dealings with the public. (E.g., don’t start a public relations campaign, lawsuit, love affair, etc.) You might proﬁt from reprising the past in these – e.g., contacting a former employer in your career search. Your social life hums along, and love could be real, “light” and non-suffocating. (Love’s laughter can be far healthier than love’s extremities.) You impress others Tuesday/Wednesday! All week, revise hopes to meet money realities.

August 15 - 21 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Don’t launch new projects or relationships before Sept. 12. Reprise past ventures, or continue with ongoing ones – protect the latter from misunderstandings, delays, missed appointments, etc. An old flame (the love was gentle, proper) might reappear in the weeks ahead. If you’re unattached, “re-engaging” probably couldn’t hurt! (He/she is ready to “go forth” sexually.) All week, your status, prestige, relations with higherups come under review. (It could be your review!) Deep changes are in store. Be aware that finance (and sex) has a “fooling glitter” right now. Caution. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Don’t start new projects or relationships before Sept. 12. Especially avoid new financial,mutual or partnership ventures.Deep desires, urges and insights well up from the past – a past sexual or financial interest might return also. Nothing wrong with these, but examine the financial before proceeding. Your legal, intellectual, love, cultural, educational and far-travel spheres grow increasingly active – and beneficial. This week presents a rare chance to seal a deal (NOT a new one!) in any of these areas – including love! Wishes can come true midweek – be diplomatic, reasonable. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: An “ex” might reappear in the next several weeks – or a relocation opportunity, a deal that was never quite cemented, an opportunity to place yourself in front of the public; if you’re unlucky, even a lawsuit. You’re working hard, so have less time for these “opportunities” – therefore, jump fast, carpe diem. Your financial and sexual urges are active and rising, but neither fits easily with your “wisest future,” so do some deep pondering – remember, you’re exiting a decade of hard work, entering one of enjoyment. Be ambitious mid-week. Decide between quick money, and big. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

LARGEST IN-STOCK DEALER FOR LAMINATE, SLATE, VINYL & CARPET When choosing a flooring place my wife and I ran through the usual questions in our minds; quality, selection, cost to name a few. When we came across Diverse flooring we were pleasantly surprised. They managed to meet all of our needs and than some. From start to finish they were efficient, courteous, on time and it was truly a ‘one stop shopping’ experience. We had laminate and carpet installed. Any transitions, caps, baseboards, etc. were not only carried by the same store but matched the flooring that we purchased. There is a real care behind their name and reputation that we felt when dealing with them. The company that cares enough to know there client is happy and willing to go that little bit extra to make it work. Todd, a big thank you to you and everyone at diverse flooring for a job well done and we look forward to doing much more business with you in the future. Sincerely,
