Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows News - June 10, 2011 Online Edition

A thief with a truck smashed through at least fi ve store fronts in Maple Ridge early Thursday, caus-ing thousands of dollars in damage but leaving with little loot.

The break-in spree began just after 1 a.m. at Great Spaces Furniture, hit

Uptown Health Food and Vitamins 15 minutes later, targeted End of the Roll next, followed by Cloverdale Paints and fi nally Carpet One.

Offi cers told staff at Carpet One eight stores had been rammed by the truck in one night, but Ridge Mead-ows RCMP could only confi rmed fi ve.

Only fi ve large jars of protein pow-der were stolen from Uptown Health Food and Vitamins, on Lougheed Highway near the Scotia Bank, but the break-in caused between $5,000 and $10,000 in damage.

“It’s pretty foolish,” said Linda Bar-low, who works at the store.

“It’s the fi rst time someone has crashed into us with a truck. It makes absolutely no sense. You’ve got to wonder what’s going on in some-body’s head when they do something like that? Probably not a lot.”

In the same block as a jewelery store, Cloverdale Paints may have lost a gallon of paint in the break-in, but has a huge mess to clean up, while Carpet One had its till stolen, though it held little cash.

Not much stolen, but lots of damage done

Ex-premier at HST session in Maple Ridge

Former B.C. premier and FightHST leader Bill Vander Zalm is coming to Maple Ridge next week to slam the HST and rile up resi-dents to axe the tax in the mail-in vote.

Vander Zalm will be at Maple Ridge council chambers on Wednes-day, from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.

FightHST is the group that led an anti-HST petition last summer and succeeded in forcing the government to hold the referendum, a mail-in ballot taking place this month and next.

“People are encouraged to bring their questions and get clarity,” said Maple Ridge FightHST organizer Corisa Bell.

B.C. Hydro is about to open its wallet and put $800 mil-lion into refitting the aging

Ruskin Dam.So why not increase that by .03

per cent and make a $2.8-million fish ladder on the Alouette reser-voir part of the project?

Alouette Lake and Stave Lake are connected by tunnels, allow-ing the Alouette to feed into Stave Lake.

“Ultimately, it’s a public rela-tions win – before they’re faced with an acrimonious relationship with the public,” as people real-ize what private power companies in the U.S. are doing to help fish, said Geoff Clayton, with the Alou-ette River Management Society.

The group is making the propos-al in a June 3 letter to B.C. Hydro management.

The society first proposed the project last year after a study by Peter Ward and Associates estimated it would cost $2.8 mil-lion to build a fishway beside the spillway and get to the top of the 16-metre dam.

That would allow reconnection of the South Alouette River to the lake, after being severed in the 1920s for construction of the dam. A fishway would allow all five spe-cies of salmon, along with trout, to once again reach the lake and to re-enter the streams that flow into it.

ARMS continues to track the sockeye salmon run that it start-ed in 2005 with the release of what was then considered kokanee over the dam spillway and have found that when the sockeye return, they’re using some areas part of the lakeshore for spawning rath-er than migrating to streams that flow into the lake.

A fish ladder could increase the size of the sockeye run.

Last year, 105 sockeye returned to the base of the dam and were trucked around it and released into the lake. However, a high death rate may be connected to handling the fish.

The Alouette group is also afraid that chinook and coho may not be able to survive in the South Alou-ette over the long term without access to the Alouette reservoir.

The letter says B.C. Hydro will run into opposition when it seeks to renew one of its water licences, which expires in 2018, “without a

provision that includes some form of upper watershed access for this historic run of salmon and trout.

“More and more as we look out over the electrical utility industry in North America, we see private utilities awakening to the public demand to address green power projects.”

Clayton points out the Alouette-Stave power generating system is antiquated and also needs up-grading. Improving the genera-tion station at the bottom of the Alouette-Stave tunnels and auto-mating control of the lake level could increase power production by 40 per cent.

But so far B.C. Hydro hasn’t said much about any renovation plans.

“B.C. Hydro has been complete-ly silent as to what their plans are for this Model T generation site,”

Clayton said.“It is old. It is antiquated. It is

not automated.”The letter also includes a link to

a video about U.S. utility compa-ny, PPL Montana, which recently built a $6-million full-height fish ladder designed to allow bull trout to climb 25 metres over the Thompson Falls hydroelectric dam.

Puget Sound Energy also built fishways on its Mount Baker and Skagit River systems.

In Washington’s Baker River ba-sin, home to PSE’s largest hydro-electric project, fish-restoration efforts have resulted in eight of the 10 highest adult sockeye re-turns on record, all since the mid-1990s, PSE says on its website.

Clayton says the B.C. govern-ment is stifling the Crown corpo-ration because it’s siphoning off too much revenue.

“[Premier] Christy Clark has a chance to do the right thing and tell B.C. Hydro to get green,” Clayton said.

“What we’d like to see is B.C. Hydro step forward.”

He said the society has been studying and researching sock-eye salmon in the Alouette sys-tem since 2003. “We’re ready to go here.”

Clayton added that if the Site C dam goes ahead, millions of dol-lars will be spent on reducing

the effects of the dam on fish and wildlife.

The Ruskin Dam, which sits on the Maple Ridge-Mission border, was built more than 80 years ago, and hasn’t seen a significant up-grade since the last generator was added in the 1950s.

B.C. Hydro is proposing to re-place the dam’s aging power-house equipment, while making the dam safe in the event of an earthquake.

When completed, the dam will generate enough electricity to power 33,000 homes and will be able to withstand a one-in-10,000-year earthquake.

B.C. Hydro filed the project ap-plication Monday with the B.C. Utilities Commission, which still needs to approve the project be-fore it can move ahead.

But construction could begin as early as 2012.

MLA Marc Dalton supports the fish ladder project.

“Having that fish ladder will def-initely replenish the stocks above. I think it’s a great idea.”

He’s going to talk to Energy and Mines Minister Rich Coleman to see if the fishway can be added to the Ruskin renovation project.

On the other hand, the fish lad-der could be done later as a sepa-rate project.

Perhaps the federal government could be involved, he suggested.

ARMS pushes for Alouette fish ladder

THE NEWS/files

A fish ladder at the Alouette dam, as part of the Ruskin Dam (above) renovations, could increase the size of the sockeye run.

The family of a man killed in a gas-and-dash in Maple Ridge hopes the recent death of gas attendant in Mississauga prompts On-tario to follow B.C. and en-act pay-before-you-pump legislation.

For the past six years, Doug De Patie has lobbied labour ministers across the country to adopt Grant’s Law, but says his efforts have fallen on deaf ears.

“I pleaded with them, but they were complacent and indifferent,” said De Patie.

“They are to blame for this death. They are going to have to take some re-sponsibility for their inac-tion.”

In May, Hashem Atifeh Rad was dragged by a car while attempting to stop a man from driving off with-out paying for $75 in gas at a Petro Canada in Missis-sauga.

The 62-year-old died in hospital the next day. Po-lice have yet to arrest the driver.

B.C. introduced legisla-tion in 2008, requiring driv-ers to pre-pay for all gas purchases 24 hours a day, and for gas stations to have two staff on shift or to pro-tect staff working alone with locked doors or a bar-rier, after years of lobbying by the De Patie family.

Grant De Patie was dragged to his death in 2005 trying to stop a teen-age driver who had stolen $12 worth of gas.

His father continues to keep a close eye on gas sta-tion robberies across the country and vows to con-tinue lobbying provinces until Grant’s Law spans the country.

“I have no choice but to follow the carnage,” he said.

The Alberta Association of Police Chiefs called for similar pre-pay legislation earlier this month, saying officers spend too much time investigating gas thefts.

Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge have begun prepara-tions for the freshet as melt-ing snow and rain cause riv-ers across the province to swell.

Crews have already start-ed periodic inspections of dikes along the Fraser, Pitt and Alouette rivers, making sure there are no problems caused by animal burrows,

fallen trees and erosion.“We don’t want to see any

sloughing, failures or any-thing that will present a problem for us should the water continue to rise,” said Pitt Meadows operation su-perintendent Randy Evans.

With 64 kilometres of dikes and nearly 95 per cent of the community within the flood-plain, Pitt Meadows is one of the largest diking jurisdic-tions in the Lower Mainland.

A cool spring has delayed snow melting at the Fraser headwaters, with snowpack levels in the upper Fraser basin estimated between 110 to 115 per cent above normal levels.

The Fraser River through

the Lower Mainland is now rising rapidly and will con-tinue to rise for the next two weeks as snow melts.

The River Forecast Centre predicts the lower Fraser River will reach close to six metres at the Mission gauge station by the weekend, up from 4.2 metres a week ago.

Flooding is unlikely, but both Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge are warning residents to steer clear of the river’s edge.

“Water is starting to rise and it is moving very fast,” said Evans. “Don’t get close to the flowing rivers.

“Also if you see anything out of the ordinary or of a concern [along the dikes],

call the municipality and let us know.”

Water levels in the Fraser River are the same as four years ago, when it rose to within 15 centimetres of top-ping the dikes.

Pitt Meadows has also in-stalled a temporary pump to suck excess water out of the wildlife reserve near Pitt Lake.

Evans said the area has no pump station, so when the river rises, water gets trapped in the marshes and eventually floods the road.

Both municipalities won’t step up dike inspections un-til the Mission gauge hits the six-metre mark, triggering weekly patrols.

NEW COOLANTGeneral Motors vehicles come from the factory

with GM’s extended life antifreeze called DexCool. The idea behind this new formula of antifreeze being a longer life span thereby increasing the interval between required coolant changes.

DexCool is an organic acid technology coolant (OAT), orange in colour, that cannot be mixed with a conventional glycol-based antifreeze, which is green in colour. It is also quite expensive as it is a new product and the idea is that it will last twice as long. It is designed to be used in the majority of new aluminum cooling systems, ie: all new cars, and is in fact less toxic to humans and their four legged friends.

This OAT antifreeze (coolant) is designed specifi cally for the protection of the aluminum system. It provides a microscopic barrier, a thin gaseous fi lm, as protection for the system components. The gaseous fi lm bonds to the aluminum surfaces it comes in contact with providing superior protection against corrosion. It also suspends the contaminants found fl oating around in the average coolant system. If you add regular coolant to OAT coolant, this protection is washed away and corrosion begins almost immediately.

This fi lm that bonds to the aluminum coolant system components only applies to new vehicles in which the OAT coolant is installed initially. The use of OAT coolant as a replacement for regular or green coolant does not extend the life of the coolant, as it was not in the system for the fi rst fi ll.

There is however one drawback to the use of OAT coolant. Vehicles using it must not be allowed to operate with low coolant levels. Proper coolant levels are vital to aluminum systems to provide cleaning abilities. Low coolant levels may allow suspended contaminants to drop out of the solution, clogging everything. It can even cause overheating.

So while the coolant will last longer and provide superior performance, it needs more attention, ie: regular maintenance to ensure that it does not become a detriment. This is a common occurrence in many of the subsystems that make up the modern vehicle and superior engineering that requires more maintenance.

Recently I’ve noticed a newspaper ad campaign advising GM vehicle owners to have the DexCool GM antifreeze changed every fi ve years. After many years and many major engine repairs, GM has decided to recommend that all GM vehicles with long life antifreeze change it every fi ve years as it’s long lifespan design didn’t pan out! It’s still a good product (according to GM) but it’s not living up to its original design specs.

When changing A/F you should also change rad hoses and the thermostat as well and have the rest of your coolant system inspected for potential future trouble spots.

If you’re concerned about your coolant system, give us a call. We can answer any of your questions and advise you on the route to take with regards to your vehicle and its present needs.

Plant a tree, save the earth.

Plant a tree close to the street and it can do its best, fi ltering out pollutants, absorbing greenhouse gases and conserving storm water.

“The bigger the tree, the more storm water it absorbs and the more pollution it absorbs,” Coun. Craig Speirs said following the Federa-tion of Canadian Mu-nicipalities convention in Halifax.

Speirs sat in on a session titled Trees, Soil, Rainwater: The Foundation of Sustain-able Infrastructure, by DeepRoot Canada. It showed how silva cells allow trees to be plant-ed in cityscapes without fears of roots heaving up sidewalks and roads after a few decades.

Maple Ridge’s recent renovation of 224th Street even was men-tioned to the Canada-wide audience as a good example. Silva cells are underground barriers and boxes that channel tree roots away from expensive infrastruc-ture.

That cuts costs to municipalities because

they constantly don’t have to replace side-walks or trees, Speirs pointed out.

Trees also help hom-eowners, not only by providing shade and windbreaks, but with the bottom line, as well. Homes with mature trees outside gave their owners a higher price.

Speirs also caught a panel discussion on homelessness pre-sented by experts from across Canada and the U.S. titled Housing fi rst: Breaking the costly cycle of chronic home-lessness.

One of the takeaway messages from that was the sooner a homeless person gets help, the better.

That means getting that person into a per-manent home, with supportive counselling, as soon as possible.

That could mean skip-ping the lengthy steps of fi rst getting sent to a shelter, spending time there, then moving to supportive housing, be-fore fi nally a homeless gets his or her own per-manent place.

The description of the session says short-term solutions have proven ineffective and expensive. Instead, it described a “Housing First,” strategy.

“It’s quite pronounced how much money it saves,” Speirs said.

Locally, agencies such as the Salvation Army’s Caring Place can be the fi rst, but short-term contact for people struggling with mental illness or drug abuse issues. “It has to the be the choice of the homeless person,” said Speirs.

He added that emer-gency shelters have come to replace mental health services. “Jails are becoming de facto mental health institu-tions.”

He pointed out that Calgary has a 10-year plan to eliminate home-lessness.

“All in all, it was very productive session.”

Speirs, along with Coun. Linda King, at-tended the conference that drew councillors from cities across Can-

ada.Maple Ridge allocates

$10,000 a year in its budget for councillors to attend the Federa-tion of Canadian Mu-nicipalities conference and $8,000 a year for the Union of B.C. Munici-palities conference.

Councillors are enti-tled to $75 a day pocket money for meals and expenses however if meals are provided at an event, that amount is deducted from the daily allowance.

They also have to pre-book their fl ights to get the cheapest fares. Accommodation is also covered within the $10,000.

Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean and Coun. Doug Bing also attended the confer-ence.

THE NEWS/opinion

A groundhog pre-pared a feast while most folk struggled to keep body and soul together.

“Hi-diddle-dee-dee, no one but me,” sang the groundhog.

As he was about to eat, frantic knocks came to the door – a hungry rabbit, then an owl.

“Dear friends,” the groundhog said with a smile. “Don’t come around at dinner time.”

To be continued. Stories like The Selfi sh Groundhog

in Copp Clark’s 1962 reader, It’s Story Time, illustrated models of conduct – fair play, honesty, and sharing with others less fortunate than yourself. Movies in those days were banned if they didn’t send the right messages: G-men get the bad guy; cowboys in white hats triumph over bad guys. Hop-Along Cassidy, and the Lone Ranger behaved morally. Kids looked up to them. The stories in Aesop’s Fables ended with a lesson in behavior – a moral.

I can’t see morality in the Liberals behavior leading up to the referen-dum of the HST. The B.C. Government wasn’t fair, transparent, or honest in not disclosing talks with the feds about the tax before an election. Open debate is a pillar of democracy.

What about imposing the HST when 70

per cent of us (Angus poll) hated the pre-tax process, and many still don’t fully un-derstand how the HST will change their lives. Is that representative government?

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon thinks it’s his duty to convince the voters the HST is good for them. He justifi es spend-ing thousands of our tax dollars to do it. That’s not right.

Chris Delaney, of the Anti-HST Cam-paign, also seems to disapprove. Re-cently, I asked him if morality is the real issue in the HST debate.

“You’ve hit the nail on the head, Jack,” he replied. “The government lied about not bringing in the tax, and now is lying about how it will work to create jobs, lower prices, etc.”

Expansion of these contentions fi ll a 16-page document, “The truth about the HST and why returning to the PST is better for BC” (http://fi ghthst.com/hst-or-pst-the-truth-about-the-hst/).

This report debunks the government’s claim the HST benefi ts everyone. It says life will be harder for those with fi xed incomes, the poor, families, seniors. Countries that have gone to a consumer-driven tax system, the report adds, have neared bankruptcy by encouraging tax fraud by business, while fueling a run-a-way underground economy (“80 per cent of Greek citizens no longer pay taxes”).

There’s an amusing reference to France – another country with an HST system – of cops checking the bills of restaurant patrons to see if they paid the tax man. The report’s worth reading.

So, why do so many politicians today

seem out of step with Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Batman, and Aesop? Who do they look up to?

Maybe, it’s the Italian diplomat, Nic-colo Machiavelli. In 1410, he wrote The Prince, a popular how-to-do-it-manual for heads-of-state. The book says a leader is entitled to use immoral means to achieve his goals, or hang on to power. This includes deceit and lying, vices Machiavelli says are “virtues” if they succeed for the prince.

This makes sense, doesn’t it? Imagine the chaos, for example, if the people got to be fi nance minister for a day.

What princes should be concerned about is not lying, says Machiavelli, but “knowing how to lie. However much he lies, he should keep the appearance of being truthful.”

Similarly, princes “should not worry about having good qualities,” Machiavel-li explains, “because it will be necessary at times to act against them.” Besides, he adds, the people themselves aren’t good, so why should a prince try to be?

Still, the average person expects his leaders to behave better than himself. That’s why immoral behavior is risky. Sometimes, it ends in hatred and con-tempt by the people.

Don’t worry about that, either, advises Machiavelli. It’s only the “nobles,” the privileged class, the prince needs to fear. If he keeps this group happy, “he should have no concerns with conspirators.”

But who really wants to be seen in a bad light? No problem, says Machiavelli.

Who do politicians today look up to?

One of the most annoying inequities in federal politics, other than the Senate, may soon be cor-rected.

The Conservative government, freshly-elected with a majority of seats, plans to bring in legisla-tion to give B.C., Alberta and Ontario the actual number of Commons seats those fast-growing provinces deserve. It’s long overdue.

While many people think that the House of Commons is a “rep by pop” institution, that is not the case. There are certain constitutional guarantees that keep some parts of Canada vast-ly over-represented.

While each province or territory should have at least one seat, Prince Edward Island, for ex-ample, has four MPs for its 136,000 residents. Residents there have almost four times as many MPs as those in Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mis-sion, Randy Kamp’s riding. In other words, votes of PEI residents are four times more powerful than those of local residents.

Unfortunately, because of these guarantees, in-cluding one that says Quebec must have 75 seats, the only way to properly represent Canada’s growing population in the House of Commons is by adding seats.

At present, there are 308 MPs. It could be ar-gued that is perhaps 50 too many. However, it is better to have too many MPs than to have some fast-growing areas of the country, like B.C.’s Lower Mainland, severely under-represented in Ottawa.

Under-representation of B.C. and Alberta is perhaps the most glaring problem (the proposal would see B.C. get seven more seats and Alberta fi ve), because both provinces rarely get the at-tention in Ottawa that Ontario does.

Ontario, because of its large and fast-growing population, and its geographic location close to Ottawa, never has any trouble getting attention.

The same cannot be said for western Canada, even though a large proportion of economic and population growth in Canada now comes from the four western provinces.

Fairness is fundamental to a healthy democ-racy. If this proposal comes to pass, Canada’s population will be more fairly represented in Parliament.

I understand rules and regulations, but since Chewy has immersed himself into the hearts of the neighborhood and has been nothing but well behaved, can they not bend the rules this time? Chewy is most probably being targeted because he looks like a pit bull (not that there is anything wrong with that). We have one life only and this ‘council’ is willing to tip this beautiful family over the ledge because their beloved pet is 10 centimetres over the height limit. Give me a break. Shouldn’t be the size, my friends, never the size. It is always the motion of the ocean. Have you not learned anything? I do hope the council will reconsider, I truly do.

Inviting trouble

From: SDF1, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: Pitt Meadows strata fining family over tall dog (The News, June 8).Bringing home a dog that was almost a guarantee to be over the strata’s rules and regulations was inviting trouble. I think the adage of ‘it’s better to ask for forgive-ness than beg permission’ is at play here - in other words, they got the dog knowing it was likely to be over the height restrictions once it was full grown but didn’t especially care – they wanted the dog. I don’t agree with being fined in excess, but at the same time, I think a little personal responsibility needs to be used and to not blame a strata who’s rules and regulations were in place long before these people moved in. They knew the rules, and they don’t want to accept the con-sequences, unfortunately. Not only that, but they have two cats and the dog, despite knowing that it could be one (the two cats) or the other (the dog), so two rules broken because a couple feels that the bylaws of a strata that everyone else agrees to abide by don’t apply to them. Move. It’s probably best for you and your dog and cats.

Slim chance

Re: Pitt Meadows strata fining family over tall dog (The News, June 8).When’s the last time you looked at a Boston ter-rier, beagle, or bulldog? All three are short dogs –only the boxer portion had even a chance of growing that tall. Personal responsibility? Does that include getting a DNA test and asking two dif-ferent vets what the chances were of him growing to over-height, and being told by both vets the chances were slim?

Better behavedFrom: Cassandra Jayne Moyle, posted on ma-pleridgenews.com.Re: Pitt Meadows strata fining family over tall dog (The News, June 8). This is such a disgusting reason for wanting to remove a pet from his family. Chewy is not mean, aggressive or unruly. He’s fantastic with strangers, kids, other dogs and cats. It’s hard for animals to find good permanent homes and this pup has one and you want to remove him from it because he’s tall? What a disgrace to your community. I wish the best to the Watts clan. You have friends here in PA, and if you need anything, just say so. We love you guys, and

Chewy.To Left Lougheed, I understand that not everyone likes dogs, but not everyone likes kids either. Should they be banned or the quantity limited in stratas? I would take a kind, big dog over a delinquent child any day in my neighborhood. The dogs I know have better manners than kids these days (just my opinion).

Don’t punish

From: Michelle, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: Pitt Meadows strata fining family over tall dog (The News, June 8). Setting a height limit on a companion animal is just another way to avoid getting sued for not allowing specific breeds. It doesn’t make it right. In my search for an apartment, I was told twice that there was a 15-pound limit on pets. I had, at the time, two cats who both weighed more than that. There are documented cases of Pomeranians killing infants. Jack Russell Terriers bite all the time, including children. (I have a JRT mix, btw, along with two pit bulls and several cats). Punish the crappy owners, not the responsible people raising good dogs.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Bylaws leaning on Maple Ridge stores over fi nes (The

News, June 8).Gerry Briffett sounds like just the kind of model citizen

Maple Ridge is looking for these days. He is promising to remove his banner sign after being giv-

en no explanation and only one day to comply or be fi ned. Mr. Briffett only asks for an explanation in a letter he sent

to council, and wonders why only some businesses are being targeted and others not?

Mr. Briffett has never received a reply to his fi rst letter and is still currently waiting for a response to his second letter.

I think we, as citizens, need to take a step back and really look at what exactly is happening here. Was it really nec-essary to have abruptly slapped Mr. Briffett with a one day notice of removal?

I should think a more appropriate way in which this could have been handled would have been for the bylaw offi cer to have visited Mr. Briffett’s business and politely informed him of the intent to revitalize the downtown business sec-tion and that council would appreciate his cooperation by removing his banner, which is not in compliance with the current bylaw.

Maybe even thanking Mr. Briffett for his ongoing coopera-tion in this and explaining all other businesses are being re-quired to do the same.

Maybe it’s just a little too much blah, blah, blah for council and the bylaw offi ce to handle, after all, as lately it seems they are really just in the business of being nasty and col-lecting fi nes.

Give Chewy’s family a break

Continuing to raise property taxes is inhumane EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Has Maple Ridge become a police state? (Letters, June 3).

The District of Maple Ridge administra-tion just doesn’t seem to understand ba-sic math and demographics.

White collar municipal employees should have their salary capped at $70,000.

Now, if they were instrumental in re-ducing our taxes year after year, then maybe they could be paid on a bonus sys-tem. But only if they reduce our taxes.

As for the bylaws department, I can tell you that there is an employee at munici-

pal hall who reads all of the classifi ed ads in both local newspapers, then runs the business name, address or telephone number in order to determine whether or not each is complying with the busi-ness licence requirements.

If the district wants to raise revenues, then I would suggest starting by monitor-ing all of the handicapped parking stalls in the municipality and watch for abus-ers.

Couple that with a fi ne of $1,000 for each offence and I’m sure we could raise at least $20,000 to $30,000 per day (at least until they abusers catch on).

However, I don’t think municipal hall understands that raising taxes on prop-erty owners who live on fi xed incomes is cruel, abusive and inhumane.

Staff should get the house at municipal hall in order before we see anymore tax increases. One of these days soon, the en-tire monetary system could come crash-ing down around all of us.

I wonder how local governments, al-ways greedy for that next idea to raise our property taxes, will fair?

It should be interesting.MIKE BOILEAU

I will thank youFrom: aschuurm, posted on www.mapleridgenews.com.Re: Yes, we do need more malls (Letters, June 3).A poor cousin? Depends on the way you look at it. Maple Ridge has a wealth of land resources, which will likely prove vital for communities of the Fraser Valley.

The future is uncertain, though we may confidently assume society will not function the way it does today, at least in terms of transportation, food production, and overall consumption of resources. In a rapidly changing world, I think the wisest move is to preserve this vacant land. Its use, whether it be for retail, agriculture, or conservation, could then be determined out of necessity at a later date. As a young member of society, I will thank you for it.

“Although a bad reputation should be avoided, it is some-times necessary to have one ... Men worry less about doing an injury to one who makes himself loved than to one who makes himself feared.”

In fact, a prince “must sometimes choose evil,” if he wishes to retain control.

Some princes are doing that now – in Iran, Egypt, Syria – for example. Immorality in politics anywhere is a slippery slope.

I promised to continue The Selfi sh Groundhog story. The last visitor to his house came through an open window. It was a snake.

The groundhog told him also that he wasn’t invited to the table.

“That’s okay,” replied the snake, “I didn’t come for your dinner. I came to eat you.”

Starting June 22nd, B.C. voters decide if the HST is a table set with them in mind, and if not, what they’ll do about it.

In our opening tale, it took the bite of a snake to correct the groundhog’s immoral behavior. Enough yes-to-rescind votes, the Anti-HST paper reminds us, will change how government behaves in B.C. forever.

The snake found an open window. After June 13, when ballots are mailed out, voters will have theirs.

Like many Vancouver hockey fans, Loraine Scott has been waiting 40 years for the Ca-

nucks to win a Stanley Cup. She isn’t shy about her fandom,

and is showing off her Canuck pride this playoffs with a rather unique haircut.

A few weeks ago, the silver-haired senior decided to get the Canucks logo shaved and dyed into the back of her head.

Given her history following the team, she may very well be the team’s No. 1 fan.

Scott came by her love for hock-ey from her favourite uncle, who introduced her to the game while growing up in the Okanagan. Some of her earliest memories were of listening to Foster Hewitt on Hockey Night in Canada on her radio.

When Vancouver was awarded an NHL team in 1970, Scott im-

mediately began to follow the team, almost religiously. She has a room full of Canucks memora-bilia, a shrine to the team.

Since moving to the Lower Mainland she’s been able to fol-low the team more closely, and managed to see at least one game live every round of the playoffs this year.

Scott works at the Jolly Coach-man Pub in Pitt Meadows, where she organizes the pub’s hockey nights. As a senior, it’s important to stay active, she says, and to do so while cheering on the Canucks couldn’t be better.

“This is my dream job,” says Scott.

The haircut itself was done at Express Cuts in Pitt Meadows, and Scott hopes it brings the team good luck. After the last two loss-es to Boston, the Canucks need all the help they can get.

“I cried in ’82 and I cried in ’94,” she says. This time, she’s hoping to weep tears of joy.

“If they win, I’m getting a Ca-nucks tattoo,” she says, pointing at her arm. “It’s been a great run. I really feel there’s something spe-cial about this team this year.”

The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school dis-trict won’t be getting an extra $146,000 in funding from the prov-ince this year after all, say senior staff.

The money was part of a $210,000 disburse-ment from the pro-vincial government last month the district thought was addition-al funding. As it turns out, the province was merely handing out funding already prom-ised to the district, called a holdback pay-ment, a month earlier.

“We thought we were dealing with new cash, actually it was just our cash sent out early,” said secretary treasur-er Wayne Jefferson.

Normally the hold-

back funds are re-leased at the end of June, however, Jef-ferson said the Minis-try opted to release a portion of the money early to help districts pay for the increased cost of insuring school facilities.

“This won’t affect the budget,” said Jef-ferson. “We will still have a small surplus at the end of the [school] year.”

Jefferson said he expects this year’s surplus to be around $250,000, which is a drop in the bucket of the district’s $130 mil-lion annual budget.

“If we would have had a big snowfall, we’d have struggled [to bal-ance the budget],” Jef-ferson said.

The district is facing a $2.2 million shortfall for next year’s budget, however.

The district is expect-ing a $750,000 drop in revenue next year due

largely to a reduction in provincial funding, as well as an $1.5 mil-lion increase in costs from pensions, MSP premiums, and holiday pay.

Staff have suggested more than 40 cost-saving measures to help balance the bud-get, including cutting the elementary school band teacher position, increasing class sizes at the secondary and intermediate levels, cutting special educa-tion, reducing services and supplies by two per cent, and reducing clerical hours.

School board trust-ees will vote on the dis-trict’s 2011/12 budget at their next meeting on Tuesday, June 28.

The district re-ceived some positive news from the pro-vincial government this month, however, on the announcement that provincial audi-tors would be slashing

the bill it gave to the district last month.

The fi ve-person pro-vincial audit team found the district had double-billed the province for online courses taken by lo-cal students. Auditors originally requested the district pay back $73,000 in funds, how-ever, the province has since reduced that bill to $44,000.

“This is a big deal, because this hardly ever happens,” said school superintendent Jan Unwin. “

The provincial gov-ernment reduced the amount owing because the district is strug-gling to deal with fall-ing enrolment and falling revenue, said Jefferson.

School District No. 42 had to pay back close to $100,000 in Febru-ary after the province audited the district’s special education pro-gram.

SD 42 was wrong about extra fundingWon’t be getting extra $146,000

Residents who live in a strata unit along 124th Avenue at 222nd Street are upset about the building that will house their new neigh-bours on 122nd Street, two new buildings which will hold 109 con-dos.

The president of the strata council for the nearby Copperstone Ridge strata complex disagrees that the in-fringements on set-backs that border the project are minor, ac-cording to a staff re-port.

John Kelly says the setbacks for the proj-ect at 12256 – 222nd St., infringe on a conserva-tion area that protects a creek, and are being al-lowed solely so the de-veloper can maximize the number of units.

According to the staff report, the proj-ect would impinge two metres into the south-ern boundary facing 123rd Avenue and two metres on the western boundary, facing 222nd Street. Another of the variances would see 3.6-metre infringement on to another setback area on the west side of the project. One of the west-facing boundaries involves a conservation boundary.

Kelly also disagrees with the report that the project “fi ts well within the neighbourhood.”

The “monstrosity overwhelms” the ex-isting single family homes, on 123rd and 124th Avenues, he says.

The condo residents also say the new build-ing will require resi-dents to close their blinds to protect their privacy and use more electricity.

He pointed out later that two of the setback variances eat up half of the setbacks and that balconies on the north side of one of the build-ings will look directly into the residences of Copperstone Ridge.

“It appears to me that this and previous coun-cils are all too willing to give away the treasure to any developer that rides into town. We have certainly found

they use every pro-cedural road block to prevent any question-ing or challenges from affected residents.”

But a staff report says letters were sent to nearby residents about the changes in the set-backs and that resi-dents have had their chance to speak. It also points out that replant-ing and improvement

of streamside area near the creek will be part of the project.

The project will use permeable pavers to increase infi ltration of stormwater while wa-ter that does run off will be fi ltered through sand before it drains to the outfall.

The application re-turns to council next week.

The truck smashed through three glass panes, including the front door at End of the Roll, again causing more than $5,000 in damage.

Manager Kerry Roberge said change was stolen from the cash register, totalling $80.

“A total waste of time,” he add-ed.

Security alarms alerted Mount-ies to the break-ins and offi cers

spotted the pickup truck near Westgate Centre, where the driv-er fl ed west.

Police did not pursue the truck, but called the RCMP helicopter Air One to track it from above.

The truck was eventually found abandoned in a fi eld near Pitt Meadows airport on Ford Road, but police were unable to fi nd a suspect.

Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said a fo-rensic team will be lifting fi nger-

prints from the truck and crime scenes.

Investigators believe the thief may have stolen a second vehi-cle after abandoning the pickup truck.

Accent Glass could barely keep up with the calls to fi x the broken windows on Thursday morning.

“It always comes in spurts,” said manager Jaime Libby.

“I don’t know if it’s a full moon or what?”

An man who works for a trucking company in east Maple Ridge was run over by a pair of car thieves early Thursday as they fl ed the business in a stolen SUV.

Staff found a blue 2000 Ford Explorer parked outside the company’s offi ce on Lougheed High-way around 4:15 a.m.

Police allege two men got into the SUV and drove directly at an em-ployee who stood in front of it, knocking him to the ground. The SUV then fl ed west on Lougheed Highway.

The injured man was taken to hospital, where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Coquitlam RCMP later

stopping the SUV in Port Coquitlam, where two men, aged 31 and 50, were taken into custody. The pair were held over-night pending a court appearance.

Nursery break-inMoney and two cash

registers were stolen early Wednesday during a break-in at Triple Tree Nursery in Maple Ridge.

Three men were seen getting out a green van near the business in the 20500-block of Lougheed Highway around 5:30 a.m. Police allege the trio managed to get through a security gate and were picked up by the same green van, which drove

east on Lougheed Hwy.The suspects are de-

scribed as white men in their mid-30s, all ap-proximately six feet tall. They were dressed in black hooded sweat-shirts and blue jeans.

Sword storyA woman who bran-

dished a sword in the parking lot of a Pitt Meadows hotel has been charged with failing to abide by a probation or-der.

Police received a call about the 41-year-old on Monday around 11:30 a.m. after she was seen waving the weapon out-

side the Ramada Inn.The woman returned

to her room before offi -cers arrived, but she was taken into custody after police found the weapon in her room.

The woman was held in custody for a court ap-pearance on Tuesday.

Traffi c jamA truck that clipped

an overhead Telus tele-phone cable snarled traf-fi c during the evening rush hour Tuesday.

The truck, towing a tank, was forced to stop on railway tracks, caus-ing trains to stop while crews untangled it.

Police helicopter pursued the truck

The Safeway-sized antique store closed its doors last week and it’s not coming back.

Ruth Pare, owner of Haney Marketplace and Antique Mall that occupied the former site of the grocery store in Haney Place Mall, has no plans to

reopen elsewhere after running the business for eight years.

She has to be out of the space in two weeks so renovations can be-gin for the new Thrift-ys Foods store.

Most of the goods in the store were sold on consignment and most of the owners have been notifi ed to pick up their goods.

The antique mar-

ketplace has become a favourite of movie producers who use the pieces on set. Supernat-ural, Twilight, Fringe and Suckerpunch are some of the produc-tions that bought from the marketplace.

Pare said one of the weirdest items the store took in over the years was a blood puri-fi er from the 1800s.

“It was a machine

with all types of dials. That was probably the coolest thing.”

A colleague is open-ing an antique store on Kingston Street in Maple Meadows Busi-ness Park, she said.

The federal govern-ment has already pared $57 million from Fisher-ies and Oceans Canada during the strategic re-view of 2010.

Now, it may have to go through it all over again as the federal govern-ment tries to wring more savings from the department in order to make budget.

Canada’s new Conser-vative government re-introduced its pre-elec-tion budget Monday. It calls for digging its way out of a $36-billion defi -cit this year to a $4-bil-lion surplus by 2015.

Most of the budget was a repeat of the March document, with some changes in fi nancial projections and addition of the plan to eliminate the $2-per-vote subsidy

to political parties over four years.

“In order to make our defi cit targets, we’ll con-tinue with the process. I think most people agree – you can always fi nd savings,” Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission MP Randy Kamp said Tuesday.

The budget was to get its fi rst vote on Thurs-day, with two more votes next week before the House of Commons breaks on June 23 for summer.

The review of Fisher-ies, for which Kamp is parliamentary secre-tary, found savings of $57 million over three years, from 2011 to 2014. Another review could lead to more cuts.

“We looked at every single dollar. It was a very comprehensive. It took a long, long time.”

Kamp said, unlike the Liberal govern-ment under Paul Mar-tin, the Conservatives and their new majority government will reach

its defi cit targets with-out cutting transfers to provinces or health spending.

Details of those cuts are in departmental spending.

Some of the highlights from the 2011 budget:

•contributing $150 mil-lion toward the construc-tion of an all-season road between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk that completes the Demp-ster Highway;

• enhancing the Guar-anteed Income Supple-ment for seniors who rely on their Old Age Security and the GIS and may therefore be at risk of experiencing fi -nancial diffi culties – this measure will provide a new top-up benefi t of up to $600 annually for sin-gle seniors and $840 for couples and represents an investment of more than $300 million per year, and will improve the fi nancial security of more than 680,000 se-niors across Canada;

• providing nearly

$870 million over two years to address climate change and air quality, including the extension of the ecoENERGY Ret-rofi t – Homes program that will help homeown-ers make their homes more energy effi cient;

• legislating a perma-nent annual investment of $2 billion in the Gas Tax Fund to provide predictable, long-term infrastructure funding for municipalities;

• providing renewed funding of almost $100 million over two years for research, de-velopment and dem-onstrations of clean energy and energy ef-fi ciency.

Kamp said there are no fi gures listed for ex-pansion and renovation of the federal prison system, likely because those projects aren’t included on this year’s to-do list.

He said the Conser-vatives’ promise to dis-band the long-gun reg-istry will happen. “I’m quite certain we’ll be proceeding with that, but when the legisla-tion gets tabled, I’m not quite sure.”

Kamp’s NDP rival in the May 2 election, Ma-ple Ridge Coun. Craig Speirs, wants the regis-try to remain.

“My opinion is that we keep it. Handguns kill gangsters, but long guns [rifl es]) kill wom-en and children. This is what the police say.”

Speirs said the NDP wants to fi ght crime by creating safe communi-ties. “The issue is they want to put people in jail and spank them hard.

“Criminals will keep doing crime. You’ve got to get people out of the life.”

While he credited the government for continu-ing to ensure gas tax revenues go to the cities, he blasted it for continu-ing to cut fi sheries and environment ministries and predicted Fisheries will go through another review this year and again be cut.

“They’ll be cutting the environment ministry and DFO to the bone.” It’s easy to fi nd savings if you don’t care about what you’re cutting, he added.

Those departments have become politicized and have undergone “political terrorism” by the government.

“If you’re got to kow-tow to protect your fund-ing, you’ll kowtow.”

He also questioned whether the govern-ment can reach its defi -cit cuts.

“It’s not a pretty pic-ture for any agency.”

If voters want to kill the HST, they have to vote yes to a question asking if they want to extinguish the tax and revert to a seven-per-cent provin-cial sales tax and fi ve per cent Goods and Services Tax.

Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton won’t attend because he doesn’t want partisanship at the meeting.

“Just in general, when people go to this referen-dum, I don’t want them to be thinking this is NDP or this is B.C. Liberals or politics.

“I think it’s really im-portant that people real-ize this is about the econ-omy, this is about our tax system and trying to remove the little bit of po-litical edge about it.”

And he apologized again for how the gov-ernment introduced the tax last July.

“I fully recognize the way we handled it was really bad. We really messed it up.”

But it’s important that people don’t mix those feelings with the future of the province and the tax system, he added.

“I’m just trying to de-politicize it and I tend to think my presence … it’s really, again, is making it very political when that’s not what it needs to be.”

He said with the $175 cheques per child for each family during the fi rst year, the same amount on a one-time basis for low-income se-niors, along with ongoing rebates for those on low-incomes, that an HST at 10 per cent, promised by the Liberals on July 2014, would cost people less than a seven-per-cent provincial sales tax and a fi ve-per-cent Goods and Services Tax

Bell said there’s no need for Dalton to appear at the town hall because the government is spend-ing millions on pro-HST advertising.

“So they don’t really need to send Marc in to do that. He’s not the greatest public speaker.”

After leading the un-successful recall cam-paign against Dalton this spring, she’s not slowing down in her activism. Bell is now in charge of volunteers provincewide for the FightHST cam-paign.

“The more I educate myself, the more frus-trated I am.”

Hearing Premier Christy Clark promise to reduce the HST also dis-mays Bell. Any hope she had for Clark is gone, she said.

Bell said the new tax now puts Ottawa in con-trol of B.C. tax revenue.

According to an NDP

news release, a typical family will pay another $1,000 a year because of the HST.

“The HST is a massive transfer of the tax bur-den away from big busi-nesses and onto the back of working and middle class families,” NDP leader Adrian Dix said

Tuesday as he launched his Vote Yes campaign to extinguish the HST.

“Hundred of items and services previously un-taxed by the PST are now taxed at seven per cent under the HST.”

The government’s in-dependent panel says the HST means the average British Columbia family pays about $350 more a year than it would have under the PST/GST

while reverting to the lat-ter will cause a revenue shortfall of $531 million the fi rst year.

An HST Referendum voting package will be mailed to each registered voter in B.C. beginning June 13 through June 24.

• Ballot packages must be received by Elections B.C., a Service B.C. cen-tre, or an Elections B.C. collection centre before 4:30 p.m., July 22.

The province has ap-proved Metro Vancou-ver’s new liquid waste plan but is giving no as-surances it will meet the region’s key demand to share in the expense of building advanced new sewage treatment plants.

The plan commits Metro to replace the Li-ons Gate and Iona sew-age treatment plants – the two remaining ones discharging – by 2020 and 2030 respec-tively.

The two projects are expected to cost $1.4

billion and threaten to dramatically increase sewer system fees for home owners, particu-larly in Vancouver and the North Shore.

For the Lions Gate plant, North Shore resi-dents face the prospect of fees rising from $250 per year now to $1,400 unless the federal and provincial government step in to share a third of the costs each. Van-couverites could see their sewage costs soar to nearly $1,200 a year.

“We’re talking big bucks,” said Metro waste committee chair Greg Moore, the may-or of Port Coquitlam. “We have to get their

support to build these things.”

Moore said he’s still optimistic Victoria and Ottawa will look favourably on Metro’s requests for support for the plant replacements.

For one thing, he said, Metro has pledged to accelerate the rebuild of Iona, completing it by 2020 if the senior gov-ernments pitch in.

“There’s no way we can afford that if it’s not cost-shared,” Moore said.

All other sewage treatment plants in the region are already use more advanced second-ary treatment systems.

Iona and Lions Gate have been targeted in the past by environmen-tal groups who have tried to launch private prosecutions against Metro, alleging the ef-fl uent discharged to the ocean contravenes the Fisheries Act.

The new Integrated Liquid Waste and Re-source Management Plan also commits Metro to treat sewage as more of a resource, from which nutrients, energy and water can be reclaimed.

For beginning drivers who love their mobile devices, it’s the perfect thing.

A new free app from ICBC now lets learn-ers practice the driving knowledge test on their iPhones and other Apple mobile devices.

The app also includes the complete Learn to Drive Smart guide, all driver licensing locations and selected videos to

help new drivers prepare for their test and be safe on the roads.

“We believe this app will make it easier to practice, which we hope calms nerves and helps new drivers focus on learning to make smart driving decisions,” said Fred Hess, ICBC vice-president of driver li-censing.

The app’s practice test randomly generates 25

questions, replicating the real knowledge test, including correct pro-cedures on right turns, driving in school zones and how to handle a ve-hicle that skids out of control.

Videos provide help developing road safety skills and tips to pass the road test. Users who get 100 per cent on their practice test unlock “bo-nus videos.”

’Tis the season for Black Bears.

As our long wet spring creeps into summer, the black bears are waking up and looking for food.

This species of bear is found from north-ern Mexico, across 30 American states and all Canadian prov-inces, except Prince Edward Island.

They range in colour from black to several shades of brown, except for two types: the Kermode bear is white and the glacier bear is pale blue.

The bears we might see along the river banks or in our back garden are very adapt at finding food and will eat anything they take a fancy to, especially at the beginning of the season, when they have just woken up, or if food is short.

There have been recorded accounts of cannibalism when habitats were reduced, which means food is scarce and there are no safe dens for the females to have their cubs.

In Maple Ridge and Pitt

Meadows, we live side by side with the black bear.

Once they have lost there fear of humans, they become a prob-lem, and as we stretch our fingers more into their territory, we encounter bears on a regular basis.

According to a recent article, last Spring to this March saw 120 bears re-habilitated and 675

destroyed. Although they are not on the

list of animals at risk, we hu-mans can do a lot to keep them on their side of the fence.

Bird feeders and ripe fruit are a draw to bears, so are garbage bags and domestic pet food.

Keeping animal food and garbage locked up in a secure shed or bear-proof bins is the best way to protect your property.

Also, add moth balls to the lid of an enclosed compost tub, or a scoop of lime inside, this will put the bear off the scent.

Bears have long memories, so, above all, never feed them

or encourage them as it will mean their death.

When walking the river bank take your dog, make lots of noise. Some folks carry a bell or air horn.

But it is more than likely you will never see a black bear as they are shy and solitary creatures and avoid humans if they can.

Management Society.

As I roll around to the end of the year, and my career in educa-

tion, I have numerous engage-ments at which I am supposed to speak. It’s a ritual I have become accustomed to over the years and I have saved each speech so that I can re-view them to ensure I am not droning on about the same things, to the same group, year after year, even if it feels that way to them.

This year is a bit different. These will be my last rounds of speaking to faculty, students and parents and I have looked over the old speeches with a different focus. Rather than avoiding similar topics, I am, in fact, looking for the similarities between various talks. In es-sence, I am trying to distill the thoughts which have seemed the most important over the years so that I can make one fi nal push before I sail off into the sunset and a new philoso-pher/educator offers his/her regular take on life.

Although I am always respectful in my speeches, I am not really one to mince words. I have spoken disdain-fully about student and parent apathy in acceptance of low standards and illegal activi-ties. I have chastised faculty for viewing the school system as something that serves them rather than viewing their role as serving students. And I

have stood front and centre and taken responsibility for decisions and directions that were errors on my part. Admit-ting our mistakes, on any level, is at the heart of personal and professional improvement.

At the same time, I have waxed eloquently on the achievements of students, families, faculty and school board members when they have deserved it. I have been blessed with a career where, just about every year, I get the chance to see few miracles, a few people who truly see the light and blossom to a level of personal success that they, and everyone around them, might not have considered pos-sible. It is amazing sometimes, to stand at a graduation and refl ect on the moments in a grad’s education when every-one wondered what the heck might become of this child, only to see them emerge in their fi nal year of high school as extraordinary and focused young individuals.

My general routine has been to leave my speech-writing to the last moment, to capture the fi nal essence of what has transpired for each class, for each individual, for each family and for each men-tor who has impacted on a student. Most of the time I try to utilize anecdotes of those in the community to support a particular theme I have chosen

as pertinent to this group of grads.

As it turns out, my review of topics has revealed an emphasis on three main themes for almost a quarter of a century. The fi rst is the importance of personal health and the decision-making necessary to reduce any risk of damaging that health. Given my teaching background in health educa-tion, I suppose that shouldn’t come as a surprise.

The second theme has been that of responsibil-ity, to self and others. I have emphasized the responsibility that we all have to be the best person we can, intellectu-ally, emotionally, ethically and physically so that we can become a person who is not only successful in our own right but can serve in the role of helping others. If everyone sought to give, rather than take, the world would be a very different place.

And the third has gath-ered around the concept of perspective leading to gratitude. So often we bemoan what we don’t have, while taking for granted the many things we do have. We view small annoyances as barriers to our success rather than

minor obstacles that simply make us stronger. We use up those around us rather than

showing them the gratitude they de-serve for helping us.

I am preparing my fi nal assault on these themes. I have new stories of current stu-dents, staff and fami-lies that I can use to support the values worthy of repeating. Rather than avoid repetition, I plan to attack the tried and true values that offer our lives focus and meaning. I know it

is impossible for students to fully absorb my words now, but I remember Mr. McKnight, my Grade 7 teacher, when he turned to me one day as I argued the minutiae of some useless concept and told me: “Someday you will under-stand, more clearly, the things that are most important in life and the anxiety you feel now for this nonsense will be imperceptible.”

I have a responsibility to pass that seed of wisdom from his generation of teaching through my generation of teaching to the next genera-tion of teaching.

Buyers looking for the perfect place to stop will fi nd a home at Aragon Properties’ Th e Station that is just a bit diff erent than any other residence available right now.

“Th ese are homes designed for real people,” says Aragon Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan. “We want to build homes that are pleasing to the people who live there.”

Th e Station is built for buyers of all ages, but Wan says that Aragon is looking to attract fi rst-time buyers.

“Th ey’ve reached their new station in life as homeowners, hence our tagline: ‘You Have Arrived,’” says Wan.

Aragon is proud of their reputation for building homes that people buy in order to live in, instead of the speculative buying that drives up demand and prices in other parts of the Lower Mainland.

“Port Moody is not a hot market (like Vancouver is),” Wan says. “Th e buyers here are people who genuinely plan to live there.”

With amenities such as schools and shopping less than a block away, Th e Station is perfect for people in all stages of life, and buyers will appreciate the perks that come with a smaller community.

“Port Moody has one of the lowest crime rates (in the Lower Mainland),” says Wan. Th is has made the area attractive to buyers planning for the future.

“People want to be part of a community,” says Wan. “Th ey want their kids to feel safe.”

About a quarter of the 106 units have already been sold, and buyers should be able to move in at the end of 2012.

Homeowners looking for a lot of natural light will be quite at home at Th e Station, as the outside will feature plenty of glass, accented with brick. Many homes will have a view of the mountains, making for a beautiful view whether you’re a morning person or do your best thinking aft er dark.

Th e development is a mix of two-storey townhomes and apartments featuring one or two bedrooms. Th e ground fl oor will include retail space, putting residents in the right place at the right time for a bit of shopping.

Inside, buyers can choose between two diff erent interior colour schemes, Air or Earth. White oak engineered

fl ooring is included throughout the main living areas, with luxurious carpet in the bedrooms. Every fl oorplan features an open-plan layout in the kitchen, dining and living areas, making it easy to keep an eye on your family or have a conversation while preparing a meal. Floorplans range from 600 to 1,100 square feet.

Th e kitchen, perfect for preparing your latest gourmet delicacy, features a modern tile backsplash and a stainless-steel single-basin undermount sink with a Kohler polished chrome pull-down faucet, ready for washing vegetables or fi lling that pasta pot. No detail has been overlooked, making Th e Station a great place for entertaining or a solitary night at home.

Bathrooms are smooth and modern, featuring cool ceramic fl oor tiles and a sleek undermount Kohler sink. Both the kitchen and bathrooms include polished-quartz countertops, and fl at-panel square-edged oak cabinetry, contributing to a contemporary and harmonious feel to the entire home.

Th e Station is just a block from the Westcoast Express train station and a proposed Evergreen Line SkyTrain station, making it a great place to live for people commuting to and from downtown Vancouver.

“At the end of the day when you’re tired, you’re just one stop from home (on the Westcoast Express),” says Wan.

As the director of sales and

marketing, Wan deals with anyone looking to purchase an Aragon home.

“Th e best part (about buying at Th e Station),” Wan laughs, “is that people get to talk to me!”

Homes at the Station start at $250,900. For more information, visit www.thestationliving.ca or call 604-917-0112.

Submitted photosThe Station, by Aragon Properties, promises to be a fantastic stopping point for homebuyers of all ages and in all stages of life. The exterior is a mix of glass and brick to enhance natural light, above, and the inside is built in an open-plan style for maximum space, top.

The Station a perfect stopping place

CREA updates housing forecast. Strong activity in British Columbia in fi rst quarter.

Th e Canadian Real Estate Association has revised its predictions for 2011 and 2012 home sales activity.

National home sales activity is now expected to reach 441,100 units this year, a slight decline of 1.3 per cent from 2010. However, this is revised from an earlier forecast of 1.6 per cent. Th is is due to stronger-than-anticipated activity in British Columbia in the fi rst four months of the year.

In 2012, the CREA predicts that national sales activity will rebound by 2.6 per cent, to 452,500 units. Th is is in line with the 10-year average for annual activity.

“Home buyers expect mortgage interest rates to rise and are mindful of their current and future debt levels,” says CREA President Gary Morse. “Th ey’re doing their homework

to better understand how their mortgage payments and family budget might change down the road before they make an off er.”

However, Morse says that though mortgage rates have increased recently, they are still keeping fi nancing within reach for many prospective homeowners.

“Some housing markets are hotter than others, so buyers and sellers would do well to consult their local Realtor to understand how supply, demand and prices are evolving in their housing market,” he says.

One such hot housing market is Greater Vancouver, where multi-million-dollar property sales have surged. Th ese sales have skewed average sales prices for B.C. and nationally, which has prompted the average price forecast to be revised higher.

‘‘They’ve reached their new station in life

as homeowners, hence our tagline ‘You Have Arrived,’” says Aragon Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan.

Can you imagine a salad without cucumbers?

Don’t you love a cool crisp cucumber sand-wich on a hot day, or fresh cucumbers in vinegar?

And what would a grilled cheese sandwich or hamburger be with-out pickles?

Well, cucumbers are just about the most popular vegetable in the home garden (remem-ber, tomatoes are a fruit).

Cucumbers have been around for awhile, too. They have been cultivated both in India and China for about 3,000 years.

Christopher Columbus is generally given credit for introducing them to North America. Thank you.

Now, of course, there is some dispute as to whether he actually made it here, but we are, nonetheless, fortunate to have these wonderful vegetables, and now is the time they should be planted.

I know this because all the folks who did not listen to me earlier are now coming in to garden shops to replace their fi rst and second crops which have already died of cold and disease.

Cucumbers are warm weather plants and should only be set out when the weather warms up and stays warm.

Cold, wet ground is no place for cucum-bers, and that’s why now is a great time to plant. For best results, they should be planted in hills or raised beds with excellent drainage.

I always dig plenty of manure down deep, about 30 centimetres below the ground, to give those roots some place to go that is damp and rich in humus when the weather gets hot. Bitter-free cucumbers can only be grown if the plants have access to moisture, especially during the fruit-bearing cycle.

If you seed cucumbers, they seem to take off very quickly once the weather warms up, but transplants need a little more care. Greenhouse-grown transplants need at least four to fi ve days of acclimatization be-fore they can be set out in the ground, and even then they need some protection from the elements. Incidentally, be very careful not to disturb the rootball of young plants because the roots are extremely tender, and the plants will suffer a severe set back

if the roots are damaged. There are many fi ne cucumber varieties

available today that display good disease tolerance. But to be on the safe side, keep that cucumber patch moving to a differ-ent location in your garden each year. Wet spells in the summer, or watering too frequently overhead often cause ‘alternaria leaf spot’ or mildew. As with any disease prevention program, healthy, well-fertil-ized plants are less susceptible to these problems, but keeping that foliage dry is really important. Copper is an effective fungicide for controlling this problem, but you must act quickly if the disease appears.

Now, as to varieties, the list seems to grow each year. Many experienced gardeners like the old-fashioned ‘National Pickling’ and ‘Straight 8’ varieties. If you have been having success with these older strains, then stay with them, but there is

a wealth of newer varieties on the market and each has its own unique characteris-tics.

When it comes to slicing cucumbers, it is burpless all the way. If you like the long English types, but don’t have a greenhouse handy to keep out those pesky bees who want to pollinate the self-pollinating variet-ies, then try either the ‘Japanese Burpless’ or the shorter and sweeter yet American burpless, ‘Sweet Slice’. The great feature of burpless cucumbers is the fact that you can eat the skin without fear of an upset tummy, and every fruit is bitter free.

Instead of growing these varieties on the ground, take some garden trellis and make an A-frame shape so the plants can grow up one side and down the other. It makes a delightful garden feature, and it is one sure way to keep the slugs away from your cu-cumbers. If you have limited space, you can

grow ‘Fanfare’ in containers, but be sure to use at least a 36-cm tub and mix plenty of sterilized compost in with the potting soil before you plant. I have yet to fi nd a bitter cucumber from these varieties.

If you would really like something differ-ent, try ‘Lemon Cucumbers’, which grow the size, shape and colour of lemons, but still taste like crispy, juicy cucumbers.

Cucumbers are fun, fast and easy to grow as long as we get a little cooperation from the weather. Remember: use raised beds and black plastic or trellis frames, try some of the new varieties and keep the roots moist during the hottest part of summer. Once planted, you will be enjoying that fi rst cucumber sandwich in about 40 to 50 days.

Big changes may be on the horizon for blue box recycling.

The provincial gov-ernment has given an industry group of pro-ducers and retailers 18 months to design a plan to collect all packaging and printed materials from consumers.

The new extended producer responsibil-ity (EPR) initiative will bring recycling to card-board/plastic packaging in stores, restaurant take-out containers, disposable cups and even typically discarded items like candy wrap-pers and cigarette pack-ages by May of 2014.

The move should go far to plug some remain-ing holes in B.C.’s recy-cling system while spur-ring businesses – which will bear the costs – to design their packaging with the environment in mind.

But it also shifts re-sponsibility for collect-ing newspapers, cans,

bottles and everything else that now goes into municipal blue boxes onto product producers.

That means a poten-tial loss of control for cit-ies used to running local recycling programs.

Metro Vancouver of-fi cials say they hope something like blue box curbside pickup contin-ues.

“Most municipalities are really keen that there be a high level of service,” Metro plan-ning manager Ken Car-rusca said. “The fact it’s convenient and easy for residents means there’s a high participation rate.”

But advocates say it’s conceivable the indus-try stewardship group might reject curbside pickup and force resi-dents to instead take recyclables to depots instead.

“That would be a di-saster,” North Shore Re-cycling Society general manager Allen Lynch said. “People would get really ticked off if that were to happen.”

Elderly people and oth-ers without cars depend on curbside pickup, he said.

A depot system is one

option but less likely than some continued form of curbside pickup, according to Recycling Council of B.C. executive director Brock Macdon-ald.

“I think it will likely look like a blue box curb-side pickup system,” he said.

The industry group might even opt to con-tract with cities or their contractors to continue the existing services, he said.

Union reps, however, fear a push by industry stewards for low-cost privatized collection halt recycling pickup by civic workers in some cities.

Since the new system applies to not just single-family residential but also multifamily build-ings – where recycling rates are notoriously low – there’s potential for major reductions in the waste stream, partic-ularly after Metro Van-couver cities implement full organics pickup by 2015.

“It puts us on the way to really diverting from the landfi ll,” Macdon-ald said. “Once we have packaging and organics, we’ll get over 70 per cent diversion for sure.”

The producer group, which will include vari-ous retailers, grocers, the newspaper industry and others, will have three years to iron out details among them-selves and with local cit-ies, he said.

Macdonald doesn’t ex-pect any deposit or eco fees that will be added to products to pay for the packaging takeback sys-tem, nor would there be any refund system to en-courage returns as with beverage containers.

Instead, he predicts businesses will simply absorb the new recy-cling costs and refl ect it in their local prices.

Until now the cost of blue box recycling was shifted onto local gov-ernment, Macdonald said.

“Now it’s going to be industry and the con-sumer that funds that rather than local taxpay-ers.”

Home owners who now pay for recycling through a fee on their utility bills could see that amount go down, but some observers ex-pect that money may in-creasingly fund pickup of organic food waste.

last year, and prices have risen 15 per cent since then.

The province plans meetings with stake-holders across B.C. starting in mid-June and continuing in the fall.

Recycling from p42

A new report warns “frothy Vancouver” is vulnerable to a real es-tate market correction that could bring a signifi -cant price drop.

“Riding a wave of wealthy immigrants, Vancouver’s house pric-es have nearly tripled in the past decade, spiral-ling beyond the reach of most fi rst-time buyers or non-lottery winners,” according to a report by Sal Guateri, a senior economist at BMO Capi-tal Markets.

He cited strong de-mand from Chinese buyers, stoked by looser travel restrictions as

well as stricter purchase rules and higher prices in China.

Guateri examined the ratio of average home prices to median family income – a key yardstick of real estate affordabil-ity.

Vancouver prices are now an “astounding” 11.2 times the median local income, he found, compared to 4.6 times the median income in the rest of Canada and 6.7 in Toronto, the highest lev-el of a major Canadian city after Vancouver.

Ten years ago, Vancou-ver’s ratio was only 5.4 and prices were running only modestly ahead of Toronto’s. Now Vancou-ver’s prices are 71 per cent higher.

“While land-use re-strictions and high qual-ity-of-life rankings can justify elevated prices, current steep valuations could prove unsustain-

able if foreign invest-ment ebbs or interest rates climb,” Guateri cautioned.

“How much could pric-es fall?” he asked. “Four corrections in the past three decades saw de-clines averaging 21 per cent and valuations are higher today.

“Still, if interest rates stay low and wealthy immigrants continue to pour into the city, prices could stabilize sooner than in past downturns.”

The recent 2008-09 cor-rection – a 13 per cent drop – was actually the mildest of the four.

The worst was 1981-82, when Vancouver home prices fell 36 per cent.

Even a modest in-crease in the current ultra-low interest rates would slow the market, the report said.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver’s benchmark price for

detached houses hit $890,800 in May, a 10 per cent increase from a year ago.

Apartments were up 2.2 per cent to $407,400 and attached units gained 3.5 per cent to $517,800.

The benchmark price for detached houses rose 2.8 per cent in the past year to $529,800 in the Fraser Valley.

Unlike the benchmark (which tracks typical properties), average prices have risen faster – the result of more sales of higher-end homes or houses on big acreages.

The average price for a detached house rose 11.6 per cent to $630,870 in May, according to the Fraser Valley Real Es-tate Board.

Townhouses in the val-ley actually dipped 1.1 per cent to $328,300 and apartments were down 0.5 per cent to $252,200.

House prices hit ‘astounding’ heightsCorrection possible if rates rise, foreign buying slows

Do you ever fi nd yourself thinking about your life and asking, “Is there more

to life than this?” If you work a full-time job, does

your schedule go something like this for fi ve, six, or even seven days a week: wake up, go to work, work all day, come home from work, have dinner, put the kids to bed (or whatever else you need to insert here), relax a little, go to bed, then repeat all over again?

If you are a student, does your schedule go something like this: wake up, go to school, come home from school, do your homework, your busy with something four or fi ve evenings a week, eat dinner, play video games (or whatever else you need to insert here), go to bed, then repeat all over again?

If you are a stay-at-home parent, does your schedule go something like this: wake up, wake the kids up, feed the kids, clean up after the kids, take the kids to school, clean up after the kids some more, pick the kids up from school, feed the kids again, clean up after the kids again, take the kids somewhere, get the kids ready for bed, clean up after the kids yet again, you fi nally get to go to bed, then you repeat it all over again?

Sometimes our daily lives become so mundane that we fi nd ourselves just living from day to day wondering, “Is there more

to life than this?”

I’m not saying that all these things are not important parts of our lives, they are. But are they really the purpose of our lives, or were we created for more than just these things?

There is a story in the Bible in John, Chapter 4 where Jesus has a talk with a woman who has gone to draw water out of a well. This is a task that this woman probably had to do every single day, if not multiple times per day, and there had to be times she would ask herself, “Is there more to life than this?”

Think about it, every trip was the same: hike to the well, draw the water up out of the well, carry it all the way back home from the well, just to repeat it all over again. Well, Jesus asked her for a drink that day and she was in shock because Jews did not speak to Samaritans, especially Samaritan women, and she basi-cally told him that he could get his own drink. It was at this mo-ment that Jesus revealed to this woman who he really was and

he told her that everyone who drinks water out of this well will get thirsty again, but whoever drinks from the water that he gives will never be thirsty again.

The things of this life, no matter how good they may be or seem will always leave us asking the question, “Is there more to life than this?”

There is only one way to fi nd true meaning and satisfaction in our lives today and that is through the eternal life that is found in Jesus Christ because the water from his well never runs dry.

In John, Chapter 10, Jesus said that he came into this world so that we can have life and have it to the fullest; anything else will leave you wandering if there is more to life than this.

Josh Arrington is pastor of Church on the Rock

in Pitt Meadows.

Isn’t there more to life than this?

HST will be reduced from 12% to 10%.After listening to British Columbians, the government has proposed an HST reduction from 12% to 11% by 2012, then to 10% by 2014. This proposed change will take effect if the province votes to keep the HST in the referendum. If B.C. votes to return to the GST + PST system, the combined rate will remain at 12%.

Transition cheques for families & seniors.Under the proposed change to a 10% HST rate, the average B.C. family will be $120 better off annually than under the old 12% GST + PST system. And to help transition to the lower rate, the government will provide $175 for every child under 18 and every senior with income up to $40,000.

The Ridge Meadows Royals bantam AAA base-ball team won fi ve games in a row en route to tak-ing the 2011 Doc Plottsky Tournament in Sher-wood Park, ALberta last weekend, scoring 71 runs in that span.

The Royals opened the tournament on Friday with a 13-1 win over the host Sherwood Park Gold Athletics team, having just stepped off the bus af-ter 14 hours on the road.

The Royals scored in the fi rst three innings, tak-ing a 4-1 lead before turning on the heat late in the game.

G r a h a m Bailey start-ed on the hill, surrendering just one unearned run in three innings pitched. Bayley Germaine threw in relief with Kole Benard closing. Offensively, Ben Stadnik hit a home run and added a double while Matt Jonsen had two doubles and four runs.

The Royals blanked the South Edmonton Cardi-nals 13-0 on Saturday, led by Brendan Halstrom, who picked up three hits, including a double. On the mound, Kyle Ross, Colin McMaster, and Nick Evans combined for a one-hit shutout.

Sunday saw the Royals play three games in the span of nine hours as they advanced to the fi nals.

The Royals started the day with an 18-5 win over the Saskatoon Braves. Royals hitters got off to an excellent start scoring 11 runs in the fi rst two in-nings before they cruised to victory.

Ross collected two hits and three runs, while Mc-Master added a solo home run late in the game.

On the mound, Ryan Anderson started the game and nearly fi nished it off until he ran into pitch count trouble late.

The Royals beat the Red Deer Braves 10-4 in the tournament semi-fi nal, scoring eight runs in the fi rst two innings as Devon Bird, Matt Whiel-don, Germain and McMaster all had multiple hit games.

That set up a tournament fi nal with the host Sherwood Park Gold Athletics team, a rematch of the Royals opening game of the weekend.

Royals take Alberta tourney

Thomas Haney secondary’s Nathan Wadhwani was the winner of the fi ve-km race at the 2011 Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation Fund Run last Sunday at Fairview elementary, while Maple Ridge’s John Graham took home the top spot in the 10-km race.

Wadwhani was racing in the U-15 di-vision, while Graham was in the men’s 30 to 39 division.

In the fi ve-km race, the division winners were Kaylee Stewart (U-15), Ryan Brodowski (16-19), Ensiana Van-denbrink (16-19), Chris Pop (20-29), Michelle Leppington (20-29), Trevor Thiessen (30-39), Missy Sheridan (30-39), Ron Antalek (40-49), Gillian Cra-ven (40-49), Anthony Leyland (50-59), Deborah States (50-59), Lorne Walton (60+), and Connie McRae (60+).

In the 10-km race, the winners were Nicholas Winship (U-15), Savrit Chau-han (U-15), Erik Lutsch (16-19), Mi-chelle Forrest (16-19), Ted Carr (20-29), Saraiya Abdulla (20-29), Kendra Braun (30-39), Bob Mackinnon (40-49), Mindy Olson (40-49), Rob Lang (50-59), Lorna Pickerell (50-59), Garry Biles (60+), and Sam Denoni (60+).

The race raised close to $30,000 which will go towards the foundation’s commitment of $700,000 for essential health care equipment for the hospi-tal, to fund programs in the communi-ty that encourage healthy living, and provide educational opportunities for medical staff.

More than 300 people, representing more than 20 teams, took part in this year’s event.

The Ridge Meadows Hur-ricanes went 5-0 to take the mite girls’ district softball championship last week-end in Port Moody.

The Hurricanes were

seeded in second-place coming out of the round robin portion of the tourney, and faced their association rivals, the Ridge Meadows Mustangs in their fi rst play-off test. After beating the Mustangs, the Hurricanes faced the Coquitlam Red Devils in the fi nal. The Hur-

If you’ve been watch-ing the NHL and NBA playoffs on TV

over the past weeks you’ve probably heard the inevitable mantras given by players and coaches in interviews that have become cliché. Responses such as “giv-ing 110 per cent,” or, “it ain’t over ‘til it’s over,” and, “we just need to play our game,” and countless others have become wallpaper for the players and the fans over the years.

But a couple of clichés that really seems to be borne out in practice in sport psychology these days is “don’t get too high or too low” and playing “one game (or period, or shift) at a time.”

Sport psychologists have found that not enough focus and stimu-lation will cause an athlete to underperform, but too much stimula-tion and arousal can also cause poor perfor-mance. The reason that this happens seems to be because with very little arousal the athlete does not focus their

attention suffi ciently and reacts too slowly or with inaccuracy. As the level of attention and excitement devoted to thinking about the event rises, the performance also rises to an optimum level. If the arousal level rises too high however, the athlete may start to get distracted by non-essential factors such as worrying about the outcome of a game or thinking about too many other irrelevant factors. In fact worrying about the outcome of a game not only distracts the player but instills an ele-ment of fear - and fear drives anxiety. The anxi-ety of missing a game-winning free throw or penalty shot comes from the athlete thinking about how important the game is, what people might say about him or her missing, being so close to a championship but regretting it for the rest of your life, and the negative feeling of let-ting team-mates down. That is one reason why not thinking about the outcome will help to control anxiety.

In order to improve performance, the axiom for most athletes these days is to think about those things that you have control over and to focus on your own perfor-mance and, “let the outcome take care of itself.”

Something many athletes have been quoted as say-ing is, “we can only control our game, not the other team,” which is a way of saying the same thing. Focus-ing on your own abilities and strategies (things that you control), raises the level of confi dence and self-empowerment because you know you have had success - you have no control over what other competitors do or how they behave so it’s futile to dwell on these things. For the same reason it is also futile to dwell on a past loss or a future game because these games are out of your control.

Young athletes are even more susceptible to performance anxiety

than pro ath-letes. They are much more impression-able and don’t have the cop-ing strategies that adults can develop with life experience.

And if there is undue pressure from coaches, parents and friends it

makes anxiety much more likely and the out-come can be more harm-ful on young athletes. Parents and coaches should be on guard for some of the tell-tale signs of performance anxiety such as loss of appetite, sleeplessness, avoiding practices or games, or changes in mood.

Certainly the coping

strategies mentioned above can help an adult, along with others that sports psychologists use such as breathing, relaxation, goal setting, mental imagery, manag-ing arousal levels prior to the competition and concentration strategies during the performance. But teaching these to young athletes can be diffi cult depending on their maturity. One simple strategy for youth is to de-emphasize the importance of win-ning and instead focus on things like improving individual skills (es-sentially competing with oneself), playing better as a team and, of course, having fun.

Pitcher Graham Bailey surrendered eight runs in the fi rst three innings while the team struggled with a questionable strike zone and sub-par fi elding. Germaine took the mound in relief and allowed just a

single run in the next three innings.

Down by six runs, the Royals bats came alive as they scored 12 runs to make the score 14-9 by the end of the sixth. Andre Pelletier had fi ve hits, Mc-Master had four hits (two

triples), and Jonsen added a triple.

The Athletics did their best to claw their way back into the game, but the po-tent Royals offence proved too much as they won the game 17-15 to take the tour-nament championship.

Emily Nalleweg’s solo home run in the fifth help seal the deal for the Hurricanes, as they scored five runs that in-ning to win 12-6

The Hurricanes are Lar-

isa Boles, Hannah Duj-movic, Lauren Audette, Cassie McLeod, Harmony Disiewich, Emily Nalleweg, Honor Gislason, Sydney Mc-Crea, Kirsten Audette, Emily Pretzer, Meaghan Christens-en, Carson Eales, and Taylor Huurman.

www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS -- Friday, June 10, 2011 -- A55

Tony, in his 91st year, el-dest of Peter and Josephine, passed away the evening of June 5th. His family saw him through the last couple weeks at his home with assis-tance of nursing outreach and staff at Ridge Meadows Hospital for his fi nal hours in ER and 2West. The family is very grate-ful to all who touched him, sharing their care and expe-rience in his fi nal days.

Tony lived an active and eventful life moving from Port Arthur, Ontario in 1926 to a farmstead overlook-ing the Fraser River near Fort Langley. The eldest of 10, life wasn’t easy for him and during the depression years he left home, took jobs where he could, was indepen-dent but always very close to his family. He met Doris Jensen, a young farm girl from Saskatchewan and mar-ried in 1942. Together they fi shed the Fraser River, the gulf and up the coast to Rivers Inlet and also tended re-mote supply posts, one at Quathiaski Cove and another at Egmont. He sold his boat in the early 50’s and joined Doris working as an Aide at Valleyview Hospital from 1955 until retiring in 1977. He enjoyed this work and was active in his union, the BCGEU, once the local President and a lifetime honorary member. He was an avid reader; newspapers, books and periodicals; anything on current and world affairs. Tony was very active politically, too...considered somewhat to the left... supporting peace ini-tiatives, jobs, public health care and education; justice, and more, by his activities and contributions.

He and Doris liked camping and taking road trips, vis-iting family from Modesto, California to Prince George and Saskatoon, to Mexico and Toronto. Tony enjoyed music, brought out his accordion at family dues and oc-casionally the mouth organ, joining Doris on her guitar. Those were the days.

He didn’t miss a day at Baillie House where Doris’s last years were spent until she passed 2 years ago. His morn-ings always included a visit to the Haney Place Mall food court where he enjoyed a coffee, crossword and fellow-ship with some friends who gathered there. Dinner with family and a game or two of crib were a highlight once or twice a week; cherished memories.

Tony is survived by his sons, Monte (Mary) and Ricardo (Sharon); 5 grandchildren, Jason (Deanna) and Lewis; Che, Marcus and Angela, their mother, Leah (Edward) ; 4 great-grandchildren, Ryan and Rebecca; Halen and Carissa, their mother, Rosie; brothers, Elmer[Bunk], Dante[Dint](Margaret), Alfi e(Vi) and sisters, Doris[Dobie](Jud) Josephine[Joey]; and nieces and nephews... Tony was predeceased by siblings Alvira, Lydia, Peter and Harold.

Celebration of Life will be held at Hammond Commu-nity Centre, 20601 Westfi eld Ave, Maple Ridge, Sunday, June 26th, 1 to 4 PM. In lieu of fl owers donations can be sent to a favorite charity or society. Condolences may be sent to www.mapleridgefuneral.ca
