Predatory fish ‘dumped’ into creek. p4Health Care

Not so much the quantity as quality. p6

A young injured bear who had been snacking on gar-bage for weeks was shot out of a tree early Wednesday in Maple Ridge Park.

The bruin died in front of shocked onlookers who were surprised by the sudden ap-

pearance of armed Mounties and a conservation offi cer just before 9:30 a.m. on 232nd Street near Fern Crescent.

“When I pulled up, I heard a loud bang,” said Cynthia Hillier, who was driving home after dropping her daughter off at school.

“People were upset. It’s un-usual to see three RCMP offi -cers with shotguns standing around the park.”

Wounded on its front left leg, the two-and-a-half-old male bear had been frequent-

ing the park for an easy meal from garbage cans for at least a month.

Conservation offi cer Paul McFadden said at this time of year, female bears chase away offspring because they are go-ing to breed again.

“This was unfortunate be-cause it was an injured bear and it just had an opportunity to feed on garbage,” he added. “There are so many garbage cans in the park that are not bear-proof. Bear-proofing garbage cans is never a bad

thing.”Bear sightings are up across

the region as bears leave their dens in search of food.

On Friday, in Coquitlam, con-servation offi cers tracked and shot a bear in woodlands near Minnekhada Regional Park after a bow-hunter wounded it while trying to kill it on a blue-berry farm. Another bear was shot a few weeks ago in the agricultural area not far away near DeBoville Slough after it killed some chickens.

VICTORIA – Thousands of ballots for B.C.’s harmonized sales tax referendum were being stored in post offi ces after Canada Post locked out its urban employees across the country Wednesday.Elections B.C. has prepared a contingency plan for post offi ce disruptions, as offi cials try to get more than three million bal-lots delivered to homes across the province by June 24. Federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt said Wednesday that since Canada Post moved from rotating strikes to a complete shut-down, the government will consider introducing back-to-work legislation. The strikes have cost Canada Post an estimated $1 million in lost revenue, and before the lockout management

reduced urban mail delivery to three days a week.Craig James, B.C.’s acting chief electoral offi cer at Elections B.C., said Wednesday that no changes to the referendum timetable were being contemplated “at this time.” If the post offi ce dispute drags into next week, Elections B.C. has the option to push back the deadline for returning completed ballots beyond the current date of July 22.Elections B.C. offi cials said they will adjust their schedule if necessary to give voters the same amount of time to consider how they will vote.Ballot packages went in the mail on Monday to regions outside Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. They were scheduled to go out to those areas starting June 20.Voters who receive their ballots can return them to one of 60 Service B.C. (formerly government agent) offi ces around the

province instead of putting them in the mail.Finance Minister Kevin Falcon urged people to vote “no” to the referendum question, which asks whether voters want to “extinguish” the HST and go back to the 12-per-cent federal and provincial sales tax.Former premier and Fight HST organizer Bill Vander Zalm is running an advertising campaign urging people to vote yes, reminding people of the additional seven per cent tax extended to restaurant meals and a long list of services.Faced with a strong public backlash against the HST, the B.C. and federal governments have committed to lower the rate to 11 per cent in 2012, and to 10 per cent in 2014.Rebates of $175 for each child under 18 and each senior with an annual income less than $40,000 have been promised to cover extra costs until the rate can be lowered.

Like many postal workers, Bridget Loewen didn’t fi nd out Canada Post had locked out its employees until she showed up for work at 5:45 a.m. Wednesday.

She was joined by more than a dozen of her fellow workers at the Maple Ridge delivery centre and post of-fi ce on Lougheed Highway to protest Canada Post’s actions.

“I want to deliver your mail,” states one placard.

“Support your postal worker,” says another.

Loewen said she’s been pleased with the positive response from the public, as many passersby honk their horns in support of the locked-out postal work-ers.

“It’s really encouraging to see the support we’re get-ting from everyone,” Loe-wen said.

“I think people under-stand what this is about. We’re not asking for a lot, we just want to hold on to what we have.”

The 48,000 members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, which include lo-cal letter carriers and retail employees, have been with-out a contract since May 30 after the union rejected Canada Post’s contract of-fer.

That offer would have seen the creation of a two-tier wage scale, reducing starting wages to $18 from close to $23 an hour.

In an escalation of the labour dispute between Canada Post and its em-ployees, the Crown corpo-ration announced it would lock-out workers Tuesday night, in an effort to force the union to accept their contract offer.

“They are claiming that our rotating strikes have cost them $100 million in 12 days,” said CUPW presi-dent Denis Lemelin.

“It would cost them much less to deal with us fairly and negotiate a contract.”

Federal Labour Minis-ter Lisa Raitt stated in the House of Commons Wednesday that the gov-ernment will consider in-troducing back-to-work legislation, and could do so in as little as 48 hours.

As a result of the lock-out, mail delivery to most of Maple Ridge will be sus-pended.

However, areas serviced by rural and suburban car-riers will still have delivery service.

Pitt Meadows, Whonnock, Ruskin, Rock Ridge, Silver Valley and other neighbour-hoods serviced by rural and suburban carriers will not be affected, however, as those carriers belong to a different union.

Local postal workers locked out

How close should you have to be before you fi nk on your neighbours – close enough so you can see the bylaw trans-gressor, within 100 metres – or maybe just a neighbour-hood busy-body who likes to go on patrol?

After looking at surround-ing cities, Maple Ridge’s bylaw department suggests you should have to live with-in 100 metres of whatever’s bugging you, before you can complain and spark possible action by bylaws.

And you shouldn’t be able to complain endlessly, ei-ther.

Under the review, staff are proposing people be limited to three complaints per year, after experienc-ing “enormous numbers of complaints,” many from the same person, that all require investigation.

Maple Ridge council is in the process of hammering out new criteria following the controversy over the by-laws department’s handling of complaints about recre-ation vehicles.

One resident complained more than 100 times. There’s been a “signifi cant volume of complaints” that have gone beyond neighbourhood boundaries, bylaws director Liz Holitzky said in a report.

Another suggestion is not to act on anonymous com-plaints, unless they involve safety issues. Most cities do this.

Complaints will also be kept confi dential under the proposal from the district by-laws department.

The proposals will be re-viewed by the public at the June 29 open house on RV storage regulations at mu-nicipal hall.

Holitzky’s department looked at surrounding cit-ies and found that four have no boundaries for taking a complaint, while four require that the complainer be af-fected directly.

Seven of the cities have no limits in the number of com-plaints that can be lodged.

Next time you have an ex-otic fi sh you can’t take care of, maybe don’t throw it in a local stream.

It could spread disease and harm native salmon in the creek, or it could just go on a tear and start gobbling up smaller fi sh or even little ducklings.

Ross Davies, with the Ka-naka Education and Envi-ronmental Partnership So-ciety, said whoever owned the garpike recently found in Kanaka Creek Regional Park

should have found another way to get rid of the fi sh.

The garpike is found in the eastern U.S. and is a warm-water fi sh with a voracious appetite.

According to Wikipedia, gars are members of the Lep-isosteiformes (or Semionoti-formes), an ancient order of “primitive” ray-fi nned fi sh; fossils from this order are known from the late Creta-ceous onwards.

Either the fi sh had outgrown its tank or it was eating some-body out of house and home, Davies said.

“It’s heavily predacious. It mostly eats other fi sh,” but

also can eat ducklings, Da-vies said.

If someone released the fi sh during the summer, it could have had a killing and eating spree until winter arrived.

Davies said stream levels in Kanaka Creek are suffi -cient. “The cold spring has been slow for salmon devel-opment.” But that may mean water levels in the creek may stay up during the hotter months.

KEEPs is busy, offering 57 stream education programs this year reaching about 1,000 participants. The society is holding a “Weed Busters Day” July 9 at the Kanaka

Creek fi sh fence on 240th Street. Volunteers are wel-come to show up and spend a couple hours pulling invasive plants from nearby parts of the park so they don’t choke out natural vegetation in the streamside areas.

One of the main targets will be purple policeman’s hel-met, an invasive from Japan and China.

“It goes crazy over here. We just keep going after the same site, time after time.”

A deceased garpike was found in Kanaka Creek Regional Park. Such fish could harm native salmom, according to KEEPS.

Two bears have been destroyed in Ma-ple Ridge this year. A trap failed to catch a bear that killed a goat and two rabbits on a property near 287th Street but it hasn’t been back at the property.

The Ministry of Environment’s Conser-vation Officer Service received 23,240 re-

ports of bear sightings between April 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011.

During that time, conservation officers attended 2,827 incidents in which bears were acting aggressively or public safety was an issue. As a result, 120 bears were relocated, while 675 bears had to be de-stroyed.

A 29-year-old man wanted on a warrant was arrested in Maple Ridge early Wednesday.

Police were called about a possible crime in progress near 222nd Street and 122nd Avenue around 12:50 a.m.

As police offi cers ar-rived, they noticed a man walking in the area.

A police check on him revealed he was wanted by the South Coast Brit-ish Columbia Transit Authority Police Service on a mischief charge.

The man was arrested and held for a court ap-pearance.

Police seized 187 mari-juana plants, in varying stages of growth, from the property.

Thefts dropRidge Meadows

RCMP report signifi -cant decreases in theft from vehicles in the past year.

The thefts are down by 37 per cent in Maple Ridge and 20 per cent in Pitt Meadows.

Police believe people are heeding their ad-vice and taking proper precautions to prevent the thefts.

“Removing valuable items from your vehi-cle, or at least making sure valuables are out of sight make it less in-viting to thieves,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop.

“We want citizens to continue with this prac-tice. We also encourage citizens to call police if they see anyone act-ing suspicious around parked vehicles.”

THE NEWS/opinion

There was a time in my life that my parents ac-

cused me of having two hollow legs, because of the enormous amount of food that I stowed away on a daily basis.

That was in my teens. It was a good thing that I remem-ber that accusation because our children seem to suffer from the same insatiable appetite during their early teens and now the grandchildren take their turn raiding the refrigerator and cookie jar when they come home from school and just about any time thereafter until they go to bed.

The difference is that neither I nor our children were overweight during our teen years, in contrast to about half of the current generation of young people.

Why the difference? It is not so much the quantities as

it is the quality of the food and drink our children consume. Many parents will provide their children with snacks that are disguised as being healthy, but in reality are anything but. Then there are the vending machines placed at convenient locations and make it easy for anyone to get a drink or snack. Unfortunately most of the items available through these machines are contributing to the obesity epidemic

the young generation is experiencing. Energy drinks have little or no nutri-tional value, and provide lot of empty calories. By that I mean, many of these drinks contain a lot of sugars that are readily absorbed and therefore are im-mediately available for fueling vigorous physical activity. The problem is that most of the time the only physical ac-tivity is the consumption of the power drink itself and the excess unused energy is put into storage, meaning weight gain.

On average, you can expect that one can of pop a day will add 12 pounds to your weight in one year.

Many people are fooled by terms like sport beverage and fruit or vitamin drinks. In essence, they are no differ-ent than any other kind of pop, punch, cocktail and liquids that end with –ade, and are not terribly effective in quench-ing your thirst, even though they do re-hydrate the body to some extent.

If you think that 100 per cent pure fruit juices are a better choice to quench your thirst, then again you are mistaken, even though they are a lot healthier to consume.

One other factor to consider is that most people do not realize, most of these drinks, including bottled water, are more expensive per liter than gas for your car.

The cheapest and most effective way to quench your thirst is to drink water from the tap. If your palate is really spoiled and would like to have some fl avor, then add a squirt of lemon or

lime juice. Most of the snacks available through

vending machines are also not very healthy, even though they are some-times disguised as good for your health. For instance, fruit rolls contain a lot of sugar, are very sticky, so not good for your teeth. Corn chips and toaster pastry are not good choices, either. Fruit and cheese are much bet-ter choices.

To make informed choices, all pre-packaged foods have nutritional facts printed on the wrapping. The exception are store prepared items; they can be sold without any nutritional informa-tion. By law, the package should men-tion how many calories, how much total fat, saturated fat, trans-fat and cho-lesterol it contains. Furthermore, how much sodium, carbohydrates, fi ber, sug-ars, protein, vitamins A and C, calcium and iron are in the item. It pays to read the labels and that often will induce you to put the item back on the shelf and prevent weight gain as a benefi t.

It does not hurt either to familiarize yourself with what various terms mean. The Health Canada website provides defi nitions (www.hc-sc.gc.ca).

When everything is said and done, it is you who should be in charge of your own health and that of your children. That is easier said than done, but consulting reliable websites can be of a great help.

What a way to ruin a good thing.Canada wins hockey gold, we celebrate.The Vancouver Canucks lose the Stanley Cup, we

riot.Around 100,000 fans fl ooded downtown Vancou-

ver on Wednesday to take part in the festive atmo-sphere and watch on public screens Game 7 of the fi nals against the beastly Boston Bruins.

The experiment worked so well during the 2010 Winter Games that the City of Vancouver decided to do it again, even adding two more big screens. Other cities around Metro Vancouver followed suit.

And everything went well during the NHL play-offs, including the fi rst six games of the cup fi nal. Everywhere you turned people were decked out in Canucks’ garb; they decorated their cars, their fac-es, their bellies with Canuck logos; everywhere you looked, you saw blue and green, even black, yellow and orange; grown men disguised themselves in capes and neon green leotards; it seemed no one talked about anything but the Canucks and the cup, and Luongo.

But as Zdeno Chara hoisted the silver chalice seven feet in the air, instead of going home, the downtown crowd went berserk. They beat each other, stabbed one another, fl ipped cars, stomped on them and lit them on fi re. Then they posed for pictures in front of them.

The City of Vancouver planned for all this, and the media spread the message: no one wanted a repeat of the 1994 riot after the Canucks again lost the cup – that was an embarrassment; don’t do it again.

The celebrations were supposed to be good for Vancouver, good for the province, good for our reputation, good for business, to show how we’ve grown up. This was our time to shine, not act like idiots.

Be we did.Now, never again. Another opportunity squandered.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Has Maple Ridge become police

state? (Letters, June 3).Enough already. It’s clear that Maple

Ridge’s bylaws department is out of control.

This department, along with the may-or and council, needs to be reminded that the purpose of municipal govern-ment is to provide services to the com-munity, not to tell us what we can and can’t do. You work for us.

With the apparent blessing of our elected offi cials, the bylaws depart-ment seems bent on trying to control more and more aspects of our daily lives, providing little value to the com-munity, while wasting taxpayers’ pre-cious dollars. This has to stop.

This department is an embarrass-ment to the community, and the entire bylaw process is broken.

I call on the mayor and council to put an immediate halt to all activities in the bylaws department and temporarily re-assign its personnel to duties that actu-ally provide value to our community.

I then call for the creation of a bylaws oversight committee, manned by volun-teer citizens, with a mandate to review all existing bylaws and rescind any that do not provide direct value to the com-munity, infringe on personal liberties, or duplicate existing provincial or fed-eral laws.

Only when this review is complete

would bylaws enforcement resume, but with oversight from a similar panel of concerned citizens.

Membership in the Facebook protest page ‘Maple Ridge Bylaws’ is growing; the mayor and council would be wise to not underestimate the power of social media and start really listening to the people they serve.

Social media has been instrumental in toppling entire governments; with municipal elections coming this fall, the replacement of our elected offi cials with people capable of reigning in the bylaw department should be child’s play.

MAPLE RIDGE

EDITOR, THE NEWS:I live in Maple Ridge and

I read an article in the local paper about a ‘legal’ grow op on 228th Street being busted into by armed men.

What if they had gotten the wrong address?

Although it was almost impossible to miss, with all the windows blacked out.

I have watched that house grow for more than three years. How long has medi-cal dope been allowed in Maple Ridge? Who controls how much they grow?

According to what I have read, it can’t be controlled

because they don’t have information on where they are being set up.

Do you know how much money a grow op can make in a year? Where are our rights as homeowners, who pay property taxes to the district, to be informed or given a vote on having it in our neighbourhood?

Our property value de-preciates because of these grow ops. People don’t want to buy a house knowing there is a grow op within a few houses, and with that comes more crime to your neighbourhood.

The one on 228th ships its product out to Alberta every couple months. We know this because you can fi nd the trailer in the drive-way with Alberta plates on it.

They are out there at 4 or 5 a.m., yelling and loading up their trailer.

My neighbour asked if I was growing dope because of the smell. It perme-ates our houses when they cut it down.

Our street is a great place to grow dope, apparently. Just the other day I looked out my window to see the

cops and B.C. Hydro at an-other address. How much do we endure?

All us neighbours are thinking of putting up a sign telling people where it is being grown and that we don’t want it in our neigh-bourhood.

They only thing Ma-ple Ridge has going for it these days are crack houses, prostitutes and grow ops.

The district wont give us great shopping centres, but you can get all the drugs you want out here.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Pitt Meadows takes down anti-HST signs (The News,

June 15).Take note folks, we have to get federal permission to

change our tax. So much for our provincial tax, the feds have to give approval.

The piece below was taken from The News article about Vote YES to extinguish the HST signs were banned in Pitt Meadows:

“Premier Christy Clark’s offi ce announced Friday that the federal government has amended its regulations, allowing B.C. to reduce the HST to 10 per cent by July 2014.”

Now I am sure of one reason why I am voting yes to extinguish the HST.

Keep bears safeFrom: bradenn, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: Bear killed in Maple Ridge Park (mapleridgenews.com, June 15).Sad day when we have to kill a bear, and especially if it was a young one. I live right around the corner and noticed the officers in the park on the way to school. Where is our bylaw? With all the silly bylaws we have, we still don’t have one for those who leave garbage outside in unsecured containers. It’s those people every time who leave out garbage and attract the bears. We have them around our house all the time, but they have yet to enter our yard. Keep your garbage in a secure container or inside, like we do.

Alouette not a problemFrom: BruceHobbs, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: Maple Ridge warns about runoff, water is running high (The News, June 15).The North Alouette is not a problem, actually quite low for the time of year. The south is also low and will likely stay that way, unless Hydro needs to make big release from the dam.

Just get a numberFrom: Dale Pekrul, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: De Paties want law to span country (The News, June 10).I do feel bad for the De Patie family. But these regulations are just not reason-able. Why should the whole province and country be inconvenienced for the actions of a some bad apples. The gas station staff should just try to get a plate number and not try to stop a vehicle.

From: Dale Pekrul, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: De Paties want law to span country (The News, June 10).I feel bad for the family of Grant but these regulations are unreasonable and surely should not be pushed nation wide. It’s just not practical.

A Maple Ridge man has been charged with assault in connection with a violent fi ght that broke out in downtown Vancouver on Sunday.

Police say a melee broke out on 200-block of East Georgia Street around 2:30 a.m. on June 12.

“Witnesses reported seeing the man wav-ing an object in the air just prior to him being allegedly struck and knocked to the ground by a 31-year-old man in the group,” said Vancou-ver Police spokesperson Const. Jana McGuin-ness.

The group continued walking down the street, but was stopped by po-lice a short distance away.

The 56-year-old victim suffered a severe head injury and remains in critical condition in hos-pital.

Joel Robert Goodale of Maple Ridge faces one count of aggravated as-sault in connection. His next court appearance is Aug. 30.

Homes evacuatedThirty homes were

evacuated in east Maple Ridge Wednesday morn-

ing after a construction crew hit a gas pipe line.

The six-centimetre Fortis B.C. pipe ruptured in the yard of a home under construction on McLure Drive around 11:15 a.m., forcing the evacuation of homes on surrounding streets.

District of Maple Ridge spokesperson Fred Armstrong said fi re crews and paramedics remained on standby until the neighbourhood was deemed safe.

Although most were not home, residents were allowed back into their houses after an hour and half.

Pitt Meadows has said no to an inquiry by FightHST volunteer Corisa Bell to talk to council about its bylaw which bans political signs from roadsides, parks, boulevards and bridges.

Legislative services director Laurie Darcus made the decision after consulting councillors,

four of whom, includ-ing Mayor Don Ma-cLean, opposed having Bell appear.

“We just don’t want to be used as a forum for a provincial issue that is beyond our mandate,” he explained Wednes-day.

Couns. John Becker, Doug Bing and Gwen O’Connell also said no. MacLean said they all opposed any kind of delegation on the topic appearing at council, whether for or against the HST.

Coun. Deb Walters favoured allowing Bell

to speak, while Couns. Bruce Bell and Tracy Miyashita didn’t re-spond.

City crews took down 38 Vote Yes: Extinguish the HST signs last week after receiving one complaint about the signs.

Because bylaws re-quire a complaint in or-der to be enforced, the city only acted after the complaint was fi led.

“Had we received no complaint, I don’t think the signs would have been removed,” said MacLean.

The same would ap-

ply to the pro-HST side in the B.C.-wide debate as the province starts its month-long mail-in referendum on the Harmonized Sales Tax introduced last July.

“If the pro HST signs had gone up, they would have been taken down, guaranteed,” MacLean said.

And if any pro-HST signs go up later, they too will be removed now that enforcement has been triggered.

Signs, though, remain up along the Lougheed Highway, a provincial road outside municipal jurisdiction.

Under the city’s sign bylaws, political or elec-tion signs are banned from roadsides, medi-ans, parks or bridges, though they can be placed on some munici-pal properties, as well as private lots.

However, in provin-cial or federal elec-tions, many signs are allowed to remain in those locations if no one complains.

The bylaw angers FightHST volunteer Wilf McIntyre.

“If that’s the mayor and council’s way of having democracy in Canada … I can’t be-lieve we fought two world wars. We’ve got a city council that won’t let democracy happen. Is this what Canada is all about? They’re a bunch of idiots, that council there.”

He lives in Maple Ridge, but said he’ll complain in November if he sees municipal election signs posted

along roads. “This fall … if they put their signs up, they better take them down.”

MacLean said putting signs on private prop-erty is preferable be-cause it indicates that somebody actually sup-ports a cause.

“I think it carries a whole lot more weight.”

The mayor had pre-viously suggested the city also limit the num-ber of signs each candi-date can display during an election to make it uniform for each com-petitor.

“That way, everybody is treated equally and you don’t have this visual pollution that occurs every three years.”

But that’s not being pursued by council.

Bell said she tried to

call the six Pitt Mead-ows councillors, but no one returned her call.

She only wanted to talk to council about the sign bylaw, not the HST.

“This is our only way of advertising the Yes side.”

Bell picked up her signs from Pitt Mead-ows and went door knocking to see if ho-meowners would al-low her to put them on their lawns.

On Tuesday, 35 resi-dents along Park Road in Pitt Meadows allowed signs on their lawns. She says she’s getting a good response.

“Pitt Meadows seems to be pretty conserva-tive. Pretty much most people I spoke to, took one.”

McIntyre said 30 more signs went up else-

where in Pitt Meadows and on Friday organiz-ers planned to target homes along Hammond Road.

Organizers also host-ed former FightHST or-ganizer Chris Delaney Wednesday at an HST forum in Maple Ridge council chambers. He replaced former pre-mier Bill Vander Zalm, who was originally booked. Organizers decided to have Dela-ney speak rather than Vander Zalm because of the scheduling con-fl ict with Game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The evening meeting drew 28 people, which was great considering the hockey game, McIn-tyre said.

“I think a lot of people were just looking for clarifi cation on a lot of things.”

FightHST campaigner denied voice at Pitt Meadows councilDoesn’t want to talk provincial issue

Plenty of folks watched Game 7 at Don Cherry’s Pub, but only 28 turned up to hear Chris Delaney speak about the HST in Maple Ridge on Wednesday.

ICBC offi cials say they’ll look at loosening the requirement to keep auto insurance papers in the vehicle – a rule some owners say leaves them vulnerable to home bur-glars.

Thieves sometimes break into vehicles, get the address of the owner from the insur-ance papers, and then go loot the home. Some even use a garage door opener from the car to get inside.

Chilliwack university instructor Ken Pugh has been pressing ICBC to act.

He says crooks going for the car-home break-in combo target vehicles likely to be parked for hours at places like mov-ie theatres, trail heads and churches.

“Sometimes they even slash the tires so the owners can’t get home quickly,” he said. “They’ve got it down to

an art.”That threat could be

eliminated, Pugh said, if ICBC let owners keep their original car insur-ance papers at home and use a photocopy in the vehicle with the address blacked out if they’re stopped by police.

So far, ICBC offi cials maintain originals must stay with the vehicle and it would take provincial legislation to change that rule.

“We’re taking a look at what can be done to address these con-cerns,” ICBC spokesper-son Kathy Taylor said. “Sometimes a quick fi x to a process is possible, but we want to exercise due diligence to make sure we wouldn’t be cre-ating any larger issues.”

Meanwhile, ICBC rec-ommends storing the originals in a hidden panel or secure storage box in the vehicle or else taking them with you when you’re away from your car.

But carrying a sheaf of insurance documents is impractical, said Pugh.

“I’d need a man-purse,” he said. “A wallet’s not big enough.”

And he doubts any hid-ing place inside a vehicle

would be thief-proof.He argues B.C. could

simply follow the lead of Saskatchewan, which provides a wallet-sized card for proof of insur-ance and allows drivers to keep the original doc-uments at home.

“ICBC has been very slow to react to this,” he said, adding he has neighbours who are afraid to leave their homes after a fl urry of break-ins.

The auto insurer doesn’t seem to care if criminals target homes, he said, but added the provincial government should if it’s serious

about public safety and protecting families.

“This is an outdated procedure that is no longer in the interests of public safety.”

Pugh wants Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond to intervene and is also asking B.C.’s In-formation and Privacy Commissioner to inves-tigate and potentially order ICBC to change its policy.

The RCMP publicly cautioned motorists this spring against leaving identifying documents such as insurance in ve-hicles, most recently af-ter a fl urry of thefts from

the homes of church-go-ers in Abbotsford.

RCMP E Division spokesperson Sgt. Rob Vermeulen said it’s likely rare that burglars target homes using in-surance paperwork, but added it’s wise to take precautions.

“Our advice would not be to leave the docu-ments in the vehicle,” he said. “Carry them with you.”

A thief stopped by po-lice in a stolen vehicle would also be unable to produce documents and pass himself off as a legitimate operator, he added.

ICBC could help curb home break-ins: CriticThieves can exploit ‘outdated’ paperwork rule

Rents, vacancy rates upRents edged up 2.6 per cent in Metro Vancouver

over the past year, according to the Canada Mort-gage and Housing Corp.

The average rent for a two-bedroom apartment climbed to $1,181 in April, up from $1,150 a year before.

Further east in the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford-area rents climbed 1.9 per cent from $783 to $797.

The provincial average rose 2.1 per cent from $983 to $1,015, CMHC reported.

While prices are up slightly, the latest rental market survey found it’s somewhat easier to fi nd a unit.

Vacancy rates in Metro Vancouver increased from 2.2 to 2.8 per cent and from 3.1 to 3.7 per cent province wide. There was no change in 6.6 per cent vacancy rate in Abbotsford.

CMHC economist Carol Frketich said the rental unit supply rose as tenants in purpose-built apart-ment buildings bought their own homes or moved into secondary suites or investor-owned condos.

Bridges among worst roadsThe 73-year-old Pattullo Bridge has been vot-

ed the worst strip of road in the Lower Main-land in a B.C. Automobile Association survey.

Although the bridge is notoriously narrow, it made third place on the list of the province’s worst roads for congestion.

The Oak Street Bridge came in at number 15 for damaged pavement, while the Iron Work-ers Memorial Bridge appears at number 11 for poor bike paths.

Topping the list with 552 votes was a section of Ospika Boulevard in Prince George followed by the Mabel Lake Road near Enderby, both for damaged pavement. Silver Star Road near Vernon and the Pacifi c Rim Highway on Van-couver Island also made the list for pavement damage.

Daly Road in Surrey, in a quiet area near Barnston Island, was voted into 14th place for damaged pavement.

Even more respondents propelled Harris Road on Saturna Island into third place.

A total of 4,000 people voted on the survey conducted in May.

But since the con-tract totalled more than $25,000, this year is the fi rst time the mayor’s business had to be iden-tifi ed in a city fi nancial statement – to the sur-prise of several council-lors, who pointed out the mayor was “signing his own cheques.”

The current contract with Sharpe’s Insurance, for $26,730, expires in 2012.

MacLean will not be seeking re-election this year.

“We didn’t know about it,” said Coun. Bruce Bell, who was one of three councillors who inquired about the payment at a committee meeting Tuesday.

“The contract was all above board, so there is nothing wrong with it. But we should have known about it.”

In 2009, the city decided to formalize the way it obtains insurance by in-viting proposals, instead of sticking by a previous agreement, which alter-nated between Sharpe’s and Johnston Meier In-surance.

Three agencies re-sponded to the request for proposals, including Sharpe’s, Johnston Meier and Meier & Company Insurance.

A staff committee picked the best bidder according to set criteria that included experience, the availability of on-site service, a willingness to provide short-term credit and a familiarity with the city’s vehicle fl eet.

“In this case, we were

looking for our best val-ue. We were looking at what extra service they could provide to us,” ex-plained Pitt Meadows director of corporate ser-vices Laurie Darcus.

The mayor was not in-volved in preparing the proposal submitted by Sharpe’s Insurance to the city, but points out that Pitt Meadows does not have a policy or by-law that prohibits staff or councillors from doing business with the mu-nicipality.

“I tried to stay as far away as possible,” Ma-cLean said.

Coun. Deb Walters, who will be vying for the mayor’s seat in upcoming civic election, stressed she wasn’t insinuating there was something amiss with the insurance contract.

“I know mayor Ma-cLean probably wasn’t happy with it, but it’s our responsibility to ask the questions about where the money goes,” she said after the meeting.

“It’s all above board, so he has nothing to worry about.”

Coun. John Becker, who has been a city councillor since 2002, was aware that the mayor’s insur-ance agency has insured the city vehicles in the past.

He thought the ques-tions by other council-lors to the city’s director of fi nance were “hardly worth the exercise.”

“I thought it was in very bad taste and either ignored or demonstrated an inability to under-stand our processes.”

Mayor from front

‘It’s all above board’

Growing debtFinancial statements released by the City of Pitt Meadows this past week show its debt spiked to more than $7 million in 2010 from $3.7 the previous year.The city borrowed $4.7 million through long-term loans to fund upgrades to civic centre and purchase its ice arena, but also owes another $2.6 million, used to fund improvements to the hockey rink.According to the fi nancial statements, Coun. Deb Walters proved to be the biggest spend-er on council in 2010, claiming $7,443 in expenses, followed by Mayor Don MacLean, who drew a salary of $63,220 (up from $50,568 in 2009) and claimed $4,133 in expenses.Coun. Gwen O’Connell was next with $3,034 in claimed expenses. Tracy Miyashita billed the city for $2,528, closely followed by Coun. Doug Bing, with $2,382. Coun. Bruce Bell claimed $88, while Coun.

Just like in the old days, they rode their bikes to Albion elementary on Friday.

Some, of course, had their parents pack their bikes into the cars and SUVs and bring them to school, but the main thing is they got there and learned how to ride safely on urban streets.

The Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition, along with the District of Maple Ridge put on the Fam-ily Bike Festival, which drew about 60 kids.

After decorating their bikes, they got some in-struction on how to ride in a straight line, signal and do emergency brak-

ing, then went on a short ride.

“We really want to encourage more active transportation,” said

Stephanie Gray, with the cycling coalition.

She agreed, two of the main fears parents have is their child being hit by a car or accosted by a sexual predator.

Having a safe bike route and having kids ride in groups are two ways of easing those concerns. That’s also made easier in Maple Ridge because bylaws allow cycling on sidewalks, providing pe-destrians are given the right of way.

“We’re trying to get parents to stop driving their kids to school – so we’re trying to provide students with the skills and knowledge to do that safely.”

Gray said for the most part, kids don’t ride their bikes to school, which means traffi c jams at school opening and clos-ing times.

“It’s really not happen-ing any more. It’s be-come so normal for kids to be driven everywhere. We want to make that change.”

People now tend to be more isolated, so it’s more diffi cult for kids to cycle in groups, she add-ed. Parents don’t want their kids to walk or ride alone.

Gray said Albion el-ementary usually only has only one or two stu-dents take their bikes to school, but she hopes that will change follow-ing the bike fest.

Azzaria Bramer has always dreamed of

having a career where she would help people stand up for them-selves.

The Maple Ridge res-ident is one step closer to that after graduat-ing as valedictorian of her class at Douglas College with a diploma in Youth Justice this month.

“I am shocked,” she says. “Being vale-dictorian never even

crossed my mind, and to be chosen as the representative for our class is truly an hon-our.”

Her instructors are not surprised. They describe Bramer as a thoughtful and cre-ative student who fos-tered a positive learn-ing environment both at the college and on practicum.

“She applied herself to her studies diligent-ly and earned excellent grades,” says Doug Estergaard, co-coor-dinator of the Youth

Justice Program. “She also applied herself to creating strong re-lationships with her peers and her instruc-tors, and earned their respect and trust.”

The road to gradu-ation wasn’t always easy. Bramer says during her first semes-ter she came out of an exam crying because it had not gone as well as she’d hoped.

“I became complete-ly overwhelmed and had to get past my fear of taking exams. I knew that I had to

calm myself and re-member that there are far worse things that could happen.”

Now two years older and wiser, Bramer has some salient advice for new students entering her field of study.

“Be open to learn-ing and growing. If you do this, you will learn so much and become a better per-son and worker in the field. You have to have faith in yourself – this will enable you to get through anything that comes your way.”

Help choose new slogan for SD 42

The public is being invited to help choose School District No. 42’s new slogan.

Seamus Nesling, the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School Dis-trict’s communications manager, said the new slogan will refl ect what the district’s values and strengths are.

“A slogan should re-

ally represent where you are right now, what your values are, and what’s important,” said Nesling. “That changes over time.”

The district’s previ-ous slogan, “Maximiz-ing Learning,” has been in place for more than 20 years.

Nesling said he used input from administra-tors, teachers and par-ents to compile a list of slogan suggestions, which the district’s

senior staff narrowed down to three fi nalists: “Every Child, Every Chance”; “Learning To-day ... Leading Tomor-row”; and, “Anchored in Excellence.”

The public can vote on which slogan it would like to see represent the local school district on the district’s website at www.sd42.ca/sd42-catch-phrase.

Voting will be avail-able online until June 30.

“Part of our prac-tice has been to invite the community to be involved in decisions whenever we can,” said Nesling. “We’re all in this together.”

The new slogan will be featured along with on the district’s new logo, selected last year, on the district’s website and letterhead.

“The logo won’t be complete until we have the slogan to go under-neath it,” said Nesling.

ROBERT GUNNELL

MARTHA A. SANDOR


This week marks the end of my ca-reer in education.

I was a teacher for nine years and an admin-istrator (and always a teacher) for 22 more.

I consider myself to be very fortunate to have chosen a career that has allowed me and my fam-ily to live in some of the most beautiful places in North America (Peter-borough, Maple Ridge, Palm Springs, and the Muskokas in Ontario).

Perhaps more impor-tantly, I am grateful for having spent my working life in a fi eld that has challenged and rewarded me daily, and made it a pleasure to get up and head out the door each day.

This is not to say every day has been a good one. In fact, there have been many disappointments. I have become emotion-ally attached to many students and families who have had tragedy strike them at various levels. It is always disap-pointing, as a teacher, to see students who fail to achieve success; it is upsetting to see good families ripped apart at the seams by divorce; it

is absolutely devastating to see students injured or killed through their own actions or the ac-tions of others.

I have had my share of such painful moments and can assure you, have the emotional scars to bear witness to them.

But so, too, have I seen miracles. I’ve witnessed gangly, awkward, social-ly inept and intellectu-ally challenged students suddenly blossom into talented, driven, creative and intellectually engaged young adults. I’ve seen students go on from high school to become extraordinary students in university, extraordinary workers and professionals and extraordinary parents.

Naturally, I have both defended my profession from ridiculous attacks by people who know no better, and admonished my profession when I feel it has lost sight of the fact that schools are for students, not teachers and even more, when bureaucrats have consumed resources for their own agendas at the expense of resources at the classroom level. I remain indignant over

the waste of money in education in general and the lack of decision-making given to principals in schools. This drove me from public education into indepen-dent schools, complete with the guilty conscience that ensued.

I grew up in the public system and had every intention of teaching there for my career, and I would be much better off fi nancially had I done so. But it was not the system for me.

My early experiences demonstrated that the system was too po-litically driven and there simply was not enough attention paid to the most important element for me in the education process – the relation-ship between teacher and student. It was the “system” that seemed to warrant the most attention.

You grow and develop based on your experi-ences and, perhaps, I was just unlucky in my fi rst few public educa-tion positions. I know many public educators who I respect a great deal and whose experi-ences have been differ-ent than mine, and I also know many educators

in the private system whose experiences have not been as rewarding

as mine. You have to fi nd your own way, as a teacher, a student and a parent, into an educational op-tion that works for you.

For now, I am grateful for the many talented and hard-working colleagues with whom I have worked,

the sheer joy that comes with working with young people, even when they are a pain sometimes, and the many wonderful parents who have supported their children and the schools which they have attended with enthusi-asm and energy.

None of my children will become teachers. Having witnessed my career, they think it’s too much work and they’ve seen enough of the crazy moments to wonder what I like about it. Still, it’s a profession in which I have taken much pride and it’s a profession which needs a new gen-eration of dedicated and enthusiastic teachers.

I will no doubt be envi-ous of the young person who has slipped into the tiny hole I left and is getting the opportunity to witness miracles.

Always been about teachers, students

Students at Alexan-der Robinson will be making a sick little girl’s dream come true this year.

After raising $2,783.06 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of B.C. and Yukon, they learned that they will be send-ing an 11-year-old girl suffering from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), to see Glee in concert in Toronto and to also meet the cast.

SMA is a progressive condition that causes the body’s muscles be-come weaker as time passes until a person is unable to hold them-selves up, making it dif-fi cult to deal with the most basic necessities of life.

Alexander Robin-son students collected change in star-shaped banks starting at the beginning of the school year and fi nishing on April 29, World Wish Day – the day the foun-dation granted its fi rst wish.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to children ages of three to 17 whose lives are threatened by a medical condition.

Sixteen classes at Al-exander Robinson par-

ticipated in the fund-raising event for the Kids Change Star Bank Program.

The program, in its second year, is geared towards elementary school children, teach-ing them how they can make a difference in someone else’s life. Stu-dents learn the value of doing something posi-tive for another child in need and also what

it’s like to save for a de-sired goal, like a wish.

“The program is growing by leaps and bounds, but we’d love to have more Maple Ridge elementary schools on board next year,” said coordinator Kim Fu-jisawa. “The ultimate lesson in empathy is invaluable and comple-ments what the teach-ers are already doing in the classroom.”

As a thank you to the students, the star shaped banks are theirs to keep.

Alexander Robinson has already signed up again for next year.

• If your elementary school would like to participate in the pro-gram, contact Kim Fujisawa at the Make-A-Wish Foundation, 604-688-7944, before Aug. 1.

AR students making wishes come true


Alexander Robinson students: (front row) Coby Gibson, Mackenzie Brooker, Paige Brewer, Gabrielle Hankey; (middle row) Evan Murphy, Davin Sadler, Noah Raposo; (back) Lukas Rodriguez-Desrochers, Mikaela Dykeman and Summer Grant all took part in the fundraising. Sadler requested money instead of presents for his birthday this year and donated $290 to the fund.

Outraged fans aim to ID Stanley Cup riotersBlack Press

The hunt is now on to identify the perpetrators of the orgy of destruction and looting in down-town Vancouver in the wake of the Canucks Stanley Cup loss.

Metro Vancouverites quickly banded together on social media, vowing to out the offenders, pool-ing photos and video captured during Wednesday night’s riot.

Many of those responsible made no attempt to hide their faces, sometimes mugging for photos that were widely shared online.

They show young men over-turning vehicles, removing mer-chandise and stuffi ng a rag into the gas tank of a police car.

The site identifyrioters.com al-lows users to browse photos and

identify rioters and looters by their Facebook name. Photos and names are sent to the Vancouver Police Department once multiple users have made a positive ID.

Also being used is the Vancou-ver 2011 Riot Criminals List on Tumblr at http://vancityriotcrimi-nals.tumblr.com.

Multiple Facebook pages also urge followers to identify perpe-trators from photos shared there.

“Identify them, charge them, fi ne them and make every one of them do 1,000 hours of community service,” Brian White said on Fa-cebook, refl ecting the feelings of many online.

More than 130 people were treated for tear gas or pepper spray exposure and mostly minor injuries.

Another Facebook group sprang up to help coordinate cleanup ef-forts Thursday morning.

• For more information on how to send photos or information to the VPD, see related story: Vancouver police ask for Canuck riot videos and photos http://www.bclocal-news.com/news/124005184.html

The toxins Metro Van-couverites fl ush down their toilets or pour down the drain have likely contributed to the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon, a panel of scientists told the Co-hen Commission Tues-day.

There’s no “smoking gun” that points to sew-age effl uent as a leading culprit in the dramatic collapse of the 2009 sock-eye run, said Dr. Ken Ashley, a BCIT instruc-tor and consultant.

But he and others rat-ed it a probable factor in the longer term trend of diminishing salmon re-turns.

Dr. Peter Ross, a ma-

rine mammal toxicolo-gist at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ Institute of Oceans Sci-ences, said there’s grow-ing concern about the discharge of persistent chemicals that accumu-late in the environment and threaten fi sh and sea life.

Emerging chemicals of concern include fl ame re-tardants such as PBDEs, bisphenol-A, phthlates, nanoparticles, synthetic musks and personal care products.

“PBDEs have been doubling every 3.5 years in harbour seals in the Strait of Georgia,” Ross said, adding very high concentrations have been found in sediments near Metro Vancouver’s sewage treatment out-falls and in Burrard In-let.

Such chemicals might not kill fi sh outright, but may pose more subtle threats, even at minute levels, the commission heard.

Endocrine disrup-tors can interfere with hormones and in some cases feminize fi sh.

They can also reduced growth and suppress im-mune systems.

Panelists said sock-eye need to “smell their way” back home to their birth streams to spawn and the soup of chemi-cals mixed into the wa-ters of Georgia Strait and the Fraser River could confuse them and reduce their chances.

Sewage treatment plant monitoring relies on tests of how many sample fi sh exposed to effl uent die within four days, but don’t spe-cifi cally test for many chemicals or consider their longer term cumu-lative impacts.

“From my perspective, that has very little to do with the real world,” Ross said.

He supported broader testing of effl uent for such chemicals and said he tried but failed to per-suade federal offi cials to make that a requirement in new standards Otta-wa has set out to govern

sewage treatment.Ross said tests should

look at not just the im-pact of individual chemi-cals, but the complex mixtures that can form and interact unpredict-ably in the receiving waters.

There are also con-cerns the rules leave plant operators in charge of monitoring, what Ross called a “fox in the hen house” situa-tion.

Metro Vancouver plans to spend $1.4 billion to upgrade its Lions Gate and Iona sewage treat-ment plants to more ad-vanced secondary treat-ment over the next two decades to comply with the new federal stan-dards.

But the inquiry also heard doubts over whether the Annacis Island treatment plant – considered the region’s most advanced – used the best design when it was upgraded several years ago.

It uses a trickling fi l-ter system that Ashley said is far inferior to an activated sludge design in removing many endo-crine disrupting chemi-cals.

The Lower Mainland isn’t the only problem area for contamination.

Ninety different sew-age treatment systems discharge into the Fraser, as well as pulp mills and other sourc-es of industrial effl u-ent. Still more sources discharge from other shores of the Strait of Georgia.

Monitoring of tox-ins in local waters has declined, the inquiry heard, since DFO in 2005 dismantled its con-taminants research pro-gram.

It was assumed Envi-ronment Canada would take up that work, but that never happened, leaving some DFO re-searchers to fundraise to carry on independently.

Panelists lauded past efforts by various agencies to reduce the amounts of pesticides, pharmaceuticals and detergents going down the drains, but said more public awareness is needed.

The scientists also ex-pressed concern about raw sewage releases when older combined storm/sanitary sewers in Vancouver and New Westminster are over-whelmed by heavy rain-falls.

The Cohen commis-sion was named after the collapse of the 2009 sockeye run, when just over a million fi sh re-turned, about a tenth the expected number.

A lot of people have been asking me lately about

plants for shade gardens.Let’s start by classify-

ing shade: deep shade could be defi ned as no direct sunlight, as in an understory garden beneath a tree canopy or foundation beds against the north side of a tall building; partial shade would include fi ltered sunlight or a few hours of early morning (up to 11 a.m.) or late afternoon (after 5 p.m.) sun, with shade for the rest of the day.

The 12-4 p.m. sun exposure slot should be avoided for most shade-loving plants as these tend to scorch in the intense heat.

Your choices for shade-tolerant trees are quite limited, with the best being our na-tive Vine maple (Acer circinatum), which naturally grows in the forest understory and green-leaved Japanese maples (Acer palma-tum), such as ‘Seiryu’, ‘Koto No Ito’ and the weeping ‘Waterfall’. All of these will only have yellow autumn colour at best, as the rich red and orange hues are only produced by trees grown with more sun.

There are several tall shrubs to choose from, including the evergreen Japanese aralia (Fatsia japonica), which much resembles a glossy tropical plant (it can actually be grown indoors) – it has spherical white fl ower clus-ters and reaches heights of 2.5 metres.

Aucuba japonica is another broadleaf evergreen averaging 1.5-2 m in height, with the most common cultivars being ‘Picturata’ (gold inset variegation) and ‘Gold Dust’ (gold spots). These shrubs also make good informal hedging.

There are several deciduous options, includ-ing the lovely lacecap Hydrangea serrata, with ‘Bluebird’ being an easy-to- fi nd variety.

Last on our list of tall shade-tolerant shrubs is the Japanese rose or Kerria japonica ‘Pleni-fl ora’. This arching deciduous shrub features elegant green stems and pom-pom bright yellow fl ower clusters that really stand out in primarily green shade gardens.

Small to medium shrubs are generally limited to Sarcococca and Skimmia. Sarco-cocca or Christmas box are grown for their glossy evergreen foliage and sweetly fragrant white winter blooms, the species confusa and ruscifolia reach 1.2 m high, while the compact hookeriana var. humilis only grows to 45

centimetres, like a dense groundcover. Skimmia japonica come in both male and

female cultivars, with the latter needing at least one male plant for pollen in order to produce their red berries – the only exception being ‘Reevesiana’, which is self-fertile. Male clones such as ‘Rubinetta’ and ‘Rubella’ are grown for their abundant red fl ower buds (which look like berries) held through winter, opening to fragrant white spring fl owers.

There’s a new variegated male cultivar called ‘Magic Marlot’ just on the market, it fea-tures heavy cream marginal variegation, red fl ower buds and fragrant pale pink blossoms. This latter introduction would be a great addi-tion to any shade planter.

Last but not least are the perennials, so let’s start with ferns. Too many of you are casually passing them up because you just assume that they are all green – but there are actually a number of ferns with unusual foliar colour, among them Athyrium x ‘Ghost’ (milky-green), Dryopteris erythrosora or autumn fern (coppery-red new growth), Athyrium ‘Lady in Red” (red stems) and the purple-tinted Japanese painted fern (Athyrium nipponicum ‘Pictum’). Many of you hold similar biases towards grasses, again assuming that none are shade tolerant. The elegant Hakonechloa, with their arching foliage, come in bright gold (‘All Gold’), white-striped (‘Albo-striata’) and gold-striped- green (‘Aureola’), all of which

also work well in containers. If you need some evergreen grasses, try the reliable sedges Carex ‘Evergold’ and ‘Ice Dance’.

For fl owering perennials that also provide some foliar interest after fl owering, use Brun-nera macrophylla ‘Jack Frost,’ with its blue forget-me-not blooms and green-veined silver foliage, and Epimedium x rubrum or red bishop’s hat, with its tiny rose-red fl owers and bronzed foliage.

At the end of the day, a dad was

tucking his young son into bed when the boy asked his father a question that had been on his mind all day.

“Dad, today we celebrated Father’s Day and last month we had a special day just for mom, too, so why is there not a special day called kid’s day that’s just for me?”

Without missing a beat, the father said to his son, “We celebrate Fa-ther’s Day one special day a year and Mother’s Day one special day a year, but all the other days of the year could be called kid’s day because we love you and try to make you feel special every day.”

The son had a real puzzled look on his face and then asked his dad, “Well, then I think you should get me presents on all of those days because I got you and mom a present on your special days.”

On Sunday, we celebrate Father’s Day, and it can be a day fi lled with mixed emotions, depending what circumstances surround your life.

For some, it will be a day fi lled with joy, like for the new fathers celebrating their fi rst Father’s Day, or for the kids who wake up ready to make dad break-fast, then spend the rest of the day on the golf course or at the lake hanging

out with dad, or for the families who get together to eat lunch and just enjoy the time spent with their dad.

For others, it will be a day of sorrow because their father has already passed from this earth and all you have left are the memories from the past, or for others, you must wake up again to the reality that there is no father pres-ent in your life and you long for that void to be fi lled.

For those in this group who struggle through Father’s Day because it brings mostly negative emotions and feelings to the surface of your life, I pray that you fi nd encouragement in this: in Psalm 68:5, we fi nd this statement, “a father to the fatherless is our God in his holy dwelling.”

I fi nd it comforting to know that the God of all creation considers himself to be the father to all those who are fatherless. There is no greater father to have than this, but you have to let him into your life so he can be your father.

This won’t remove any hurt, but it does bring hope to what sometimes seems like a hopeless situation.

And fi nally, for everyone out there who has the privilege and great responsibility of being a father, I chal-lenge you to love your family and set a positive example for them to follow each day of your life. Your family is looking to you for leadership, protec-tion, and trust.

Have a great Father’s Day, and remember, the best gift you can give back to your family is yourself.

Josh Arrington is pastor of Church on the Rock in Pitt Meadows.

There is no greater father

INFORMATION SESSION — RUSKIN DAM AND POWERHOUSE UPGRADE PROJECT

2910

June 27, 2011, 7–9 p.m. Silverdale Community Centre 8760 McLean Street, Mission

Since the 1930s, the Ruskin Dam and Generating Station has provided a clean and reliable supply of electricity to homes and businesses in BC. After more than 80 years of service, the facility is in need of an upgrade. BC Hydro is planning a major investment to the Ruskin facility to improve seismic performance and replace the original powerhouse equipment which is in poor condition and becoming increasingly unreliable.

Project construction is expected to take approximately six years and run from 2012 to 2018. BC Hydro is preparing Environmental and Construction Management Plans for the project and would like your input. Please join us for the community information session on June 27th from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. or contact us at [email protected] or call 1 800 663 1377 to arrange a presentation for your group. Additional information sessions will be held in the fall to finalize the plans.

More information on the project and a copy of the draft Environmental Management Plan is available on line at bchydro.com/ruskin.

For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to our customers. Today we are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects, upgrading existing facilities and working with our customers to conserve energy through Power Smart.

But since the con-tract totalled more than $25,000, this year is the fi rst time the mayor’s business had to be iden-tifi ed in a city fi nancial statement – to the sur-prise of several council-lors, who pointed out the mayor was “signing his own cheques.”

The current contract with Sharpe’s Insurance, for $26,730, expires in 2012.

MacLean will not be seeking re-election this year.

“We didn’t know about it,” said Coun. Bruce Bell, who was one of three councillors who inquired about the payment at a committee meeting Tuesday.

“The contract was all above board, so there is nothing wrong with it. But we should have known about it.”

In 2009, the city decided to formalize the way it obtains insurance by in-viting proposals, instead of sticking by a previous agreement, which alter-nated between Sharpe’s and Johnston Meier In-surance.

Three agencies re-sponded to the request for proposals, including Sharpe’s, Johnston Meier and Meier & Company Insurance.

A staff committee picked the best bidder according to set criteria that included experience, the availability of on-site service, a willingness to provide short-term credit and a familiarity with the city’s vehicle fl eet.

“In this case, we were

looking for our best val-ue. We were looking at what extra service they could provide to us,” ex-plained Pitt Meadows director of corporate ser-vices Laurie Darcus.

The mayor was not in-volved in preparing the proposal submitted by Sharpe’s Insurance to the city, but points out that Pitt Meadows does not have a policy or by-law that prohibits staff or councillors from doing business with the mu-nicipality.

“I tried to stay as far away as possible,” Ma-cLean said.

Coun. Deb Walters, who will be vying for the mayor’s seat in upcoming civic election, stressed she wasn’t insinuating there was something amiss with the insurance contract.

“I know mayor Ma-cLean probably wasn’t happy with it, but it’s our responsibility to ask the questions about where the money goes,” she said after the meeting.

“It’s all above board, so he has nothing to worry about.”

Coun. John Becker, who has been a city councillor since 2002, was aware that the mayor’s insur-ance agency has insured the city vehicles in the past.

He thought the ques-tions by other council-lors to the city’s director of fi nance were “hardly worth the exercise.”

“I thought it was in very bad taste and either ignored or demonstrated an inability to under-stand our processes.”

Mayor from front

‘It’s all above board’

Growing debtFinancial statements released by the City of Pitt Meadows this past week show its debt spiked to more than $7 million in 2010 from $3.7 the previous year.The city borrowed $4.7 million through long-term loans to fund upgrades to civic centre and purchase its ice arena, but also owes another $2.6 million, used to fund improvements to the hockey rink.According to the fi nancial statements, Coun. Deb Walters proved to be the biggest spend-er on council in 2010, claiming $7,443 in expenses, followed by Mayor Don MacLean, who drew a salary of $63,220 (up from $50,568 in 2009) and claimed $4,133 in expenses.Coun. Gwen O’Connell was next with $3,034 in claimed expenses. Tracy Miyashita billed the city for $2,528, closely followed by Coun. Doug Bing, with $2,382. Coun. Bruce Bell claimed $88, while Coun. John Becker had no expenses.All councillors made $24,761, up from $19,802 the previous year.

Employee salaries cost the city a total of $3,905,922 in 2010. Fourteen city employees made more than $75,000 in 2010, while staff who made less accounted for $2.4 million in salaries.

Top earnersAccording to the 2010 state-ment of fi nancial information, the top Pitt Meadows municipal earners:• Jake Rudolph, CAO –$183,123;• Kim Grout, director of opera-tions – $124,647;• Dean Rear, director of fi nance – $117,183;• Don Jolley, fi re chief – $109.823;• Laurie Darcus, director of corporate services – $99,274;• Kate Zanon, CEO economic development – $97,909;• James Lynn, manager of fi nancial services – $96,137;• Randy Evans, operations superintendent –$95,765;• Lorna Jones, director of human resources – $94,222.

ICBC offi cials say they’ll look at loosening the requirement to keep auto insurance papers in the vehicle – a rule some owners say leaves them vulnerable to home bur-glars.

Thieves sometimes break into vehicles, get the address of the owner from the insur-ance papers, and then go loot the home. Some even use a garage door opener from the car to get inside.

Chilliwack university instructor Ken Pugh has been pressing ICBC to act.

He says crooks going for the car-home break-in combo target vehicles likely to be parked for hours at places like mov-ie theatres, trail heads and churches.

“Sometimes they even slash the tires so the owners can’t get home quickly,” he said. “They’ve got it down to

an art.”That threat could be

eliminated, Pugh said, if ICBC let owners keep their original car insur-ance papers at home and use a photocopy in the vehicle with the address blacked out if they’re stopped by police.

So far, ICBC offi cials maintain originals must stay with the vehicle and it would take provincial legislation to change that rule.

“We’re taking a look at what can be done to address these con-cerns,” ICBC spokesper-son Kathy Taylor said. “Sometimes a quick fi x to a process is possible, but we want to exercise due diligence to make sure we wouldn’t be cre-ating any larger issues.”

Meanwhile, ICBC rec-ommends storing the originals in a hidden panel or secure storage box in the vehicle or else taking them with you when you’re away from your car.

But carrying a sheaf of insurance documents is impractical, said Pugh.

“I’d need a man-purse,” he said. “A wallet’s not big enough.”

And he doubts any hid-ing place inside a vehicle

would be thief-proof.He argues B.C. could

simply follow the lead of Saskatchewan, which provides a wallet-sized card for proof of insur-ance and allows drivers to keep the original doc-uments at home.

“ICBC has been very slow to react to this,” he said, adding he has neighbours who are afraid to leave their homes after a fl urry of break-ins.

The auto insurer doesn’t seem to care if criminals target homes, he said, but added the provincial government should if it’s serious

about public safety and protecting families.

“This is an outdated procedure that is no longer in the interests of public safety.”

Pugh wants Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond to intervene and is also asking B.C.’s In-formation and Privacy Commissioner to inves-tigate and potentially order ICBC to change its policy.

The RCMP publicly cautioned motorists this spring against leaving identifying documents such as insurance in ve-hicles, most recently af-ter a fl urry of thefts from

the homes of church-go-ers in Abbotsford.

RCMP E Division spokesperson Sgt. Rob Vermeulen said it’s likely rare that burglars target homes using in-surance paperwork, but added it’s wise to take precautions.

“Our advice would not be to leave the docu-ments in the vehicle,” he said. “Carry them with you.”

A thief stopped by po-lice in a stolen vehicle would also be unable to produce documents and pass himself off as a legitimate operator, he added.

Rents, vacancy rates upRents edged up 2.6 per cent in Metro Vancouver

over the past year, according to the Canada Mort-gage and Housing Corp.

The average rent for a two-bedroom apartment climbed to $1,181 in April, up from $1,150 a year before.

Further east in the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford-area rents climbed 1.9 per cent from $783 to $797.

The provincial average rose 2.1 per cent from $983 to $1,015, CMHC reported.

While prices are up slightly, the latest rental market survey found it’s somewhat easier to fi nd a unit.

Vacancy rates in Metro Vancouver increased from 2.2 to 2.8 per cent and from 3.1 to 3.7 per cent province wide. There was no change in 6.6 per cent vacancy rate in Abbotsford.

CMHC economist Carol Frketich said the rental unit supply rose as tenants in purpose-built apart-ment buildings bought their own homes or moved into secondary suites or investor-owned condos.


Bridges among worst roadsThe 73-year-old Pattullo Bridge has been vot-

ed the worst strip of road in the Lower Main-land in a B.C. Automobile Association survey.

Although the bridge is notoriously narrow, it made third place on the list of the province’s worst roads for congestion.

The Oak Street Bridge came in at number 15 for damaged pavement, while the Iron Work-ers Memorial Bridge appears at number 11 for poor bike paths.

Topping the list with 552 votes was a section of Ospika Boulevard in Prince George followed by the Mabel Lake Road near Enderby, both for damaged pavement. Silver Star Road near Vernon and the Pacifi c Rim Highway on Van-couver Island also made the list for pavement damage.

Daly Road in Surrey, in a quiet area near Barnston Island, was voted into 14th place for damaged pavement.

Even more respondents propelled Harris Road on Saturna Island into third place.

A total of 4,000 people voted on the survey conducted in May.

A North Vancouver home invasion case is the latest trial to be de-layed due to a shortage of sheriffs that has in-tensifi ed after cutbacks took effect this month.

The case against Duck Yoon was suspended June 8 by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Arnold-Bailey, who ruled the trial in the downtown Vancouver law courts won’t proceed until sheriffs are avail-able to ensure security.

Richard Fowler, one of

the lawyers in the case and a spokesman for the Trial Lawyers Asso-ciation of B.C., called it further evidence court-house budget cuts are rippling throughout the justice system.

“This is a desperate and devastating situa-tion,” he said. “Things have to change imme-diately. Justice and the people of the province are suffering severe harm by this sad state of affairs.”

The provincial govern-ment cut the hours of 52 auxiliary and part-time sheriffs this month, equivalent to eliminat-ing 34 full-time positions. That’s on top of the loss of nearly 100 sheriffs – almost 20 per cent of the workforce – by attri-tion over a four-year hir-

ing freeze.Because of the backlog

in B.C.’s court system, suspending and resched-uling a trial can mean a delay of several months to a year – potentially putting cases at risk of being thrown out if the eventual wait is found to violate the accused’s right to be tried in a rea-sonable time.

Other cases have been postponed in recent months in Richmond, Victoria, Nanaimo and the Okanagan, accord-ing to the union repre-senting sheriffs.

Four additional crimi-nal cases were postponed Wednesday in Vancou-ver Provincial Court at 222 Main Street, said Dean Purdy of the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union.

“Deputy sheriffs couldn’t be provided for security, so the judges have put all those trials off as well,” he said.

The Attorney Gen-eral’s ministry has said courthouse safety and security is a top prior-ity, but the deployment of sheriffs is subject to budget restraints.

February’s provincial budget approved cuts totaling $14.5 million for court services, pros-ecution services and the judiciary, despite a 2010 report from provincial court judges warning more than 2,000 criminal cases are at risk of being quashed due to exces-sive delays. B.C. has 12 per cent fewer provincial court judges than in 2005 despite rising caseloads and complexities.

More trials delayed by lack of sheriffs

The internationally-recognized Roots of Empathy program will be expanded into about 360 kindergarten class-rooms across the prov-ince this year.

The Seeds of Empathy program, which focuses on teaching children aged four and fi ve, will also expand into 22 pre-schools or child cares in 2011-2012.

The programs will be co-funded by the Min-istry of Children and Family Development and the Ministry of Edu-cation which will jointly provide $800,000 annu-ally over fi ve years.

Bantam Royals stretch win streak to 11 games after sweep of Interior

The Ridge Meadows Royals moved into second place in the B.C. Minor Baseball bantam AAA league with a four-game sweep during last weekend’s swing through the Interior, stretching their win streak to 11 games.

The Royals travelled to Kamloops on Saturday for a double-header to take on the Kamloops Riverdogs before travelling to Kelowna to take on the Okanagan Athletics for a pair of games on Sunday.

The Royals struggled on defence and on the mound for much of the weekend, but the team’s bats were able to get them out of trouble, scoring 62 runs in four games.

The road trip opened with a 13-9 win over Kamloops for the Royals, followed by 13-3 drubbing later in the day.

Sunday saw the Royals make short work of the Okaganan Ath-letics, winning 15-2 in the fi rst game.

The Athletics were able to score 10 runs in the second game of the double-header, but couldn’t keep up to Royals’ bats as they won

21-10 to complete the sweep of the interior.

The Royals have managed to register double-digit runs in each of their last 10 games, scoring 148 runs in that stretch.

The Royals are now 15-4-1 in league play, with an overall record of 26-10-4.

The Royals are: Ryan Ander-son, Graham Bailey, Kole Benard, Devon Bird, Nick Evans, Bayley Germaine, Liam Godfrey, Bren-dan Halstrom, Matt Jonsen, Co-lin McMaster, Andre Pelletier, Kyle Ross, Ben Stadnik, and Matt Whieldon.

The Ridge Meadows Silver-hawks lost 12-8 to the Mission Twins.

The Ridge Meadows Royals were to face the Mariners at the Albion Sports Complex Thurs-day night at 7 p.m.

All the teams will be in action this weekend as they finish up round robin play.

The Silverhawks face the Port Coquitlam Phillies at Hammond Park 6:30 p.m. on Friday, while the Royals take on Aldergrove at Larry Walker Field, also at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

The Braves face Chilliwack No. 2 at home at the Albion Sports Complex at 7 p.m., while the Roy-als face the Coquitlam/Moody Cubs Saturday at 6 p.m., also at Albion.

Rotary donates $125k to local sports groups

The Meadowridge Rotary Club donated $125,000 to local sports groups on Tuesday, money that will help build and maintain sports facilities for children in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

The local Rotary club donated $75,000 to the Ridge Canoe and Kayak Club, $30,000 to the Mead-ow Ridge Knights community football program, and $20,000 to the Golden Ears Athletics club, at

a luncheon on Tuesday.Rotary member and former Ma-

ple Ridge mayor Gordy Robson said the money raised will help ensure local children will have af-fordable sports options with top-notch facilities.

“This represents the money we’ve raised from our annual sports banquets for the last two years,” he said. “We’ve been hold-ing the banquets for the last 20 years.”

The Ridge Canoe and Kayak Club plans to use the donation as seed money towards its proposed

boathouse on Whonnock Lake.The RCKC was founded in 1982,

and was originally housed in a shipping container. The not-for-profi t club is currently housed in an addition to the Whonnock Lake Community Centre.

The Meadow Ridge Knights will use their donation to fund a scoreboard for the artifi cial turf Rotary Field at Samuel Robert-son Technical secondary.

“It will be just like Friday Night Lights, the same as at Empire Field,” said Robson.

Golden Ears Athletics, mean-

while, will be using its donation to replace the old trailers in which they store track equipment with new, leak-free units.

Meadowridge Rotary is cur-rently raising funds for local sports organization with the fi rst annual Rotary Duck Race. The race takes place July 31 at Maple Ridge Park, with the grand prize being a new 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4X4.

Rubber duckies can be adopted for $10 each.

So far, more than 6,000 ducks have been sold, says Robson.

“The sports banquet funds the facilities, and the duck race funds the operations,” he said.

The fi rst $25,000 raised through the fundraiser will go to KidSport, a charity that helps pay for sports registration fees for needy kids.

The remainder will go to local sports organizations that take part in selling ducks for the fund-raiser.

The Maple Ridge Burrards will have a chance to sweep their three-game regular season series with the Langley T h u n d e r Saturday night as they take on their Western Lacrosse As-sociation rivals for the first time this season on the road.

The Burrards beat the Thunder 9-6 in their season opener, before edging them 11-10 last weekend at

home.The Burrards will

make their fi rst trip to the Langley Events Centre on Saturday to face the Thunder for the third and fi nal

time this s e a s o n , b e f o r e r e t u r n -

ing home on Sunday

to host the Victoria Shamrocks.

Burrards coach Dar-en Fridge said start-ing goaltender Ron Schibild will likely get the start both nights, as back-up Chris Seidel continues to recover from a knee injury suffered earlier

this season.The Burrards are

currently tied with the Coquitlam Adanacs for third place in the WLA standings with six points in six games.

The Burrards earned an honourable mention on the LacrosseTalk

national rankings this week, finishing out-side of the top seven teams in the nation.

• The Burrards next home game is this Sunday at 6:45 p.m. at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge against the Vic-toria Shamrocks.
