Teachers in Pitt Meadows and
Maple Ridge voted with their
counterparts across the prov-
ince this week in favour of tak-
ing job action in September,
should provincial and local con-
tract negotiations continue to
stall.
Similar to job action in the
past, teachers would no longer
be doing administrative work
outside of teaching students,
meaning no report cards, staff
meetings, or lunchtime and re-
cess student supervision.
However, teachers will still
have the option of taking part in
extracurricular activities, such
as sports.
This is low-level job action,
not something most parents
will notice, said Maple Ridge
Teachers Association president
George Serra.
The collective agreement with
public school teachers expired
June 30. In 2005, teachers across
the province took part in a two-
week illegal strike after the pro-
vincial government imposed an
extension of the previous con-
tract to 2006.
Teachers across the prov-
ince voted 90 per cent in fa-
vour of taking job action, the
B.C. Teachers Federation an-
nounced Wednesday morning.
Serra said while local numbers
arent known, hes seen nothing
that indicates local teachers
voted below that level.
Serra said teachers are up-
set with the provinces refusal
to budge on its net-zero man-
date, which would freeze teach-
ers wages.
Given a national inflation rate
of 3.7 per cent annually, the
BCTF contends the move effec-
tively reduces teacher salaries.
Education Minister George Ab-
bott was in Maple Ridge last Fri-
day and said there isnt enough
money in the provincial coffers
to offer teachers more money.
Would withhold report
cards, supervision

Carbon tax
increases
1.11 cents
Happy Canada Day that will be
another 1.11 cents a litre for your gaso-
line, thanks to the latest jump in B.C.s
carbon tax.
The latest step up brings the tax to
5.56 cents a litre, the second-last in-
crease before the tax tops out at 6.67
cents a litre next year.
Local Liberal MLA Marc Dalton isnt
the most enthusiastic supporter of the
carbon tax, but likes the fact that, by
law, it is revenue neutral.
Money raised by the tax goes to
low-income people in the form of tax
credits, which also increase today by
10 per cent.
Generally, its been pretty well re-
ceived, but not by everybody, said
Dalton.
The increase will mean gasoline goes
up to about $1.34 cents a litre today.

Pitt Meadows council
wont be voting anytime
soon on what the city
should do with the vast
tract of land off Lougheed
Highway.
Although the nal report
on the North Lougheed
Corridor was released in
committee Tuesday, coun-
cillors decided to refer
the document to the citys
economic development
corporation, its agricul-
tural advisory group and
the provincial Agricul-
tural Land Commission
for feedback on planning
issues.
AECOMM, which led the
review, already consulted
all three agencies as part
of the study.
Its why MLA Michael
Sather wonders if the re-
ferral is being considered
to delay a council vote on
the three development op-
tions pitched by the study
until after Novembers
civic election.
Are they doing it to
avoid a showdown around
it?, asks Sather, who at-
tended Tuesdays meet-
ing.
It is a bit mystifying to
me.
The $40,000 study con-
sidered 50.9 hectares (125
acres) of land between
Harris Road and Meadow
Gardens Way that ex-
tends all the way to the
yet-to-be developed North
Lougheed Connector,
much of it agricultural.
Of the three options
sketched out by consul-
tants, the ones that set
aside land for agricul-
tural uses wont gener-
ate enough cash to cover
the costs of building the
North Lougheed Connec-
tor, a road thats needed
to access the commercial
strip.
The city still maintains
the connector is being
proposed as a way to take
trafc off Old Dewdney
Trunk Road.
By Monisha Martins
staff reporter
The City of Pitt Meadows has crafted a bylaw
that bans the use of cosmetic pesticides, after
years of lobbying by groups urging the munici-
pality to encourage safer alternatives.
Slated to come into effect in March 2012, the
bylaw will prohibit the use of non-essential pes-
ticides to maintain trees, shrubs, owers, orna-
mental plants and turf on city-owned and private
property.
The bylaw will include a list of permitted pes-
ticides that are exempt and mainly used to pre-
vent human health risks or noxious pests.
The CEED Centre Society, which partnered
with the District of Maple Ridge to educate resi-
dents about alternatives to pesticides after the
municipality enacted a similar bylaw in Decem-
ber 2006, is glad Pitt Meadows is nally on board.
Executive director Christian Cowley would still
prefer to see province-wide legislation.
We want to make sure these dangerous chemi-
cals, the purpose of which is to kill things, by de-
nition, are not available and are not applied to the
soil and water, he said.
The bylaw is part of a two-pronged approach to
changing public behaviour. It cant be considered
in isolation. An education program is essential to
make any movement.
Besides hosting regular courses on organic
gardening, residents can call the CEED Centre to
nd out about safer alternatives to kill weeds and
bugs.
Prevention is by far the root to take. A healthy
garden does not require pesticides of any kind,
Cowley advises.
The bylaw will carry a minimum ne of $200
and be enforced by complaint. The city will also
have an education campaign to advise residents
about the upcoming changes.
I think its great that we are nally putting this
into effect, said Coun. Deb Walters, after the
proposed bylaw was introduced at a committee
meeting Tuesday.
She has been using safer alternatives to pesti-
cides since a pet dog got poisoned by slug bait.
Coun. John Becker wondered how city staff
would catch offenders who buy banned products
outside Pitt Meadows and quoted Greek philoso-
pher Socrates: What you cannot enforce, do not
command.
He added: Hopefully the educational piece will
be very successful.
After making her pitch to Pitt
Meadows, Corisa Bell is feeling bet-
ter about the citys sign bylaw.
The anti-HST activist said she has
convinced city council that the bylaw
allows posting of signs, providing she
follows the rules and not put them in
parks, on bridges or boulevards.
The signs urge people to Vote Yes:
Extinguish the HST in this months
mail-in referen-
dum on the new
tax.
Pr evi ousl y,
Bell said coun-
cils position
was that signs
cant be put up
anywhere in the
city, except for
private prop-
erty.
And councils
main concern
Tuesday was that signs not be post-
ed in boulevards, Bell said.
She added it was only after she
spoke to council that the issue was
resolved.
Im very happy. Democracy nal-
ly prevailed. It feels good to have a
council stand up for democracy.
Im going to put up at least 50 to
100 signs for sure. Ill start doing that
tomorrow.
A few weeks ago, the city bylaws
department removed 38 of Bells
anti-HST signs. Bylaws took the ac-
tion after receiving one complaint
and cited the sign bylaw, which said
political signs cant be put along
roadsides.
Then bylaws scooped another four
or ve signs from what homeown-
ers thought were their front lawns,
when actually the signs were on the
city boulevard, the strip of land be-
tween roadside and front property
line, which includes land on both
sides of the sidewalk.
Bylaws took those signs after di-
rection by senior staff and council.
Now, theres a more relaxed ap-
proach by the bylaws department.
Bylaws ofcer Leslie Elchuk said
shell now contact homeowners or
Bell if she sees a sign thats too close
to the road or sidewalk or causes
safety concerns. But if a sign is with-
in a boulevard and not causing any
harm, it will be left as is.
Elchuk is changing her enforce-
ment based on new direction from
senior staff and council.
The enforcement that I have done
is to try to be reasonable.
Coun. Deb Walters said Bell was
told if she follows the bylaw, there
shouldnt be any problem. Loca-
tions where the signs could be
posted would be conrmed after a
discussion with Elchuk.
For the record, I never had a prob-
lem with the sign bylaw anyway,
Walters said.
She said that Bells 38 signs ini-
tially were removed from centre me-
dians following one complaint about
safety.
Meanwhile, a June 24 letter by the
B.C. Civil Liberties Association to
Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean
asks the city to stop removing signs
for the duration of the HST referen-
dum, adding that the continued re-
moval of HST signs will likely result
in legal challenge which would be
costly to citizens and taxpayers
It also asks municipalities to have
their lawyers review their bylaws in
light of the B.C. Appeal Court deci-
sion striking down a Vancouver by-
law restricting Falun Gongs right to
set up political structures.
Walters, though, didnt know if the
letter played a role in resolving the
issue.
And the city likely will review the
sign bylaw. Thats something well
probably do anyway.
If anything needs to be adjusted,
well have to ask staff for that.
Were a little more strict with
signs in Pitt Meadows than other
municipalities only because we dont
want the sandwich board, signs and
large signs. We do have a stricter
sign bylaw.
Anti-HST signs OK in city now

By mid-summer, council
should have an idea of how
Maple Ridge residents feel
about recreational vehicles
and where they should be
parked.
District staff will distill com-
ments from Wednesdays open
house, put them all into a re-
port, then let council make the
decision, likely in the fall.
RV regulation was a burn-
ing issue this spring after one
resident led more than 100
complaints about improperly
parked RVs, creating an ava-
lanche of complaints and lead-
ing staff to issue relocation
orders for some of the hotels
on wheels.
Residents were given four
concepts to comment on dur-
ing the open house in munici-
pal hall.
Concept A would allow any
size RV to be stored on a resi-
dential lot, providing it ts
completely within property
lines.
Concept B proposed the same
thing, with one condition: all
RVs be set back 1.6 metres
from the property line, to give
neighbours breathing space.
Concept C says only vehicles
up to 7.6 metres (25 feet) can
be parked in front yards and
those larger have to go in the
back or along the side of a
house.
The districts current bylaw
bans RVs larger than 7.5 me-
tres.
Bob Sutherland, who has
an RV of about 8.4 metres (28
feet), liked the rst sugges-
tion, though he noted most
people dont know where their
property line ends and munici-
pal property begins.
Most people seemed to like
that concept, he added.
I really hope the municipal-
ity takes everyones concerns
to heart and doesnt just ram it
through with their own agen-
da.
The fourth idea proposed
by staff was Concept D, which
limits vehicles longer than 7.6
metres to either the side or
back of the lot, allowing RVs
shorter than that in the front
and requiring setbacks from
property lines of 1.6 metres all
the way around.
The district also wanted
feedback on new rules for tak-
ing complaints from people on
bylaw infractions.
It suggested that in an urban
area, people could only be able
to complain about something
if their house was within a
100-metre radius of whatever
was bugging them.
In rural areas, that distance
would be 400 metres.
It also proposed limiting
to three the number of com-
plaints a resident can make
within a year.
The current RV controversy
resulted in bylaws issuing re-
moval orders for some RVs,
but enforcement action has
been suspended while the re-
view is underway.
But Sutherland pointed out
someone could live two streets
away and still be able to com-
plain about his neighbour and
be within the 100-metre ra-
dius.
Jacques Blackstone instead
proposed that a resident should
only be able to complain about
something if its visible from
his or her residence.
He also liked Concept A,
which allows any type of RV
on a property.
Another resident said if a law
limits the number of RVs on a
residence, it also should limit
the number of cars parked out-
side a house.
Currently, theres no limit on
the number of licenced vehi-
cles on a property, while only
two unlicensed vehicles can be
stored on a property.
Residents given four
options at open house
Maple Ridge Pitt
Meadows Chamber of
Commerce is working
well enough they dont
need the president
to serve out a second
complete term.
So Jeremy Bekar has
resigned, effective this
month.
Its a positive and
it means theyre do-
ing a great job, and
dont need him around
anymore, Bekar said
Thursday of the board
of directors.
Bekar was president
in 2010, during the
chambers 100th year,
and stayed on this year
to help out following
the resignation of Dean
Barbour as chamber
executive- director.
Then in the past sev-
eral months, three oth-
ers on the executive
stepped down for a va-
riety of reasons.
I think [executive
director] Jesse [Sidhu]
and the board are do-
ing an exceptional job,
said Bekar.
The board [of direc-
tors] we have is abso-
lutely spectacular.
Two lawyers, a nota-
ry public, two nance
people and two direc-
tors with marketing
experience are among
the directors.
Taking over the reins
as interim president
will be Ken Holland,
who will then become
president for 2012 at
the meeting in Decem-
ber.
Bekar said the cham-
ber is one of the largest
in the area with just
more than 500 mem-
bers.

SUMMER FUN!
Years ago when I was just a lad our family
sedan was not only the daily driver, grocery
getter, or dads commuters transportation.
It was also our summer ticket to a holiday,
with me sitting in the back seat of a 1967
Mercury Comet Caliente two door fastback,
while dad drove mile after mile. Those 289
cubic inches of V-8 pushed us fast enough
that the wind blowing thru the car made
it bearable to sit on the clear plastic seat
covers. Even now some forty plus years later
that car still looks sleek, like its moving even
when its sitting still. I remember when my
dad bought the car and drove it home, man
did I think he was cool buying such a styling
set of wheels. Remember those were the
sixties, I was almost a teenager and parents
were to be avoided at all costs.
Cars have always been a bridge between
generation gaps, something a parent and
teenager can agree on, well maybe I wont
go that far. I remember dad teaching me
how to wash a car properly, yes, there is a
right and wrong way to wash a car. Mostly
I remember getting wet as he took every
opportunity to spray me with the hose. He
always held the hose for some reason.
Your vehicle is a big part of your daily
routine, which is a big part of your life, so it
only makes sense to look after it. Teach your
kids how to wash it, vacuum it, check the
tire pressure, oil levels etc., you might learn
something in the process. If that goes well,
you might want to teach them how to mow
the lawn! What the hay, its worth a try.
Have you ever noticed that most young
people drive too fast and most old people
drive too slow, whats with that? If only we
could slow down the young ones and speed
up the old ones, we would have it made, life
would be good. The young ones all start off
slow and cautious as theyre learning and
then all of a sudden with less than a year
driving experience under their belt, they all
become seasoned professional race drivers.
Yet we old farts whove been driving
forever, I included, with 35 plus years seem
to slow down as each year passes. Makes
you think.
Well its summer time once again, so I urge
all of you motorists out there to take care
while driving your set of wheels. There are
more kids playing on the streets. I guess
their parents are not paying attention as
the roads are for vehicles, not kids. There
are tourists everywhere and a lot more
trafc volume due to the summer holidays.
So by all means drive carefully, cautiously
and defensively while keeping your eyes
peeled, your life may depend upon it. If
youre going away on a trip with your family
vehicle as transportation, let us check it out
before you leave.
Concerns about third option and ALC
Even the third option, which
proposes a mix of uses, includ-
ing big stores, a hotel or con-
ference centre, showrooms or
a business park on the entire
50.9 hectares site, will strug-
gle to meet the costs.
Its why Coun. Bruce Bell,
who is rmly against punch-
ing the road through farm-
land, feels the citys push for
the North Lougheed Connec-
tor is premature.
He too wondered why the
city was now referring the
study to the land commission.
I really want to look after
Pitt Meadows, agricultural
land and farming, he said.
The groups that weve
talked to have said there
should be some farming or
agricultural component. We
shouldnt be in any hurry on
this and do it right.
Of the land being consid-
ered for development, only
17.5 hectares (43 acres) is
zoned highway commercial.
The remaining 32.5 hectares
(80 acres) would have to be re-
moved from the agricultural
land reserve.
Residents who attended
an open house on the study
overwhelmingly supported
the rst option, Concept A,
which sets aside 16 hectares
(39.5 acres) for farming or
other agricultural uses, like a
land trust or food processing
facility.
The second plan, option
B, reserves 12 hectares (30
acres) for farming.
At Tuesdays committee
meeting, Coun. John Becker
thanked Smart!Centres, a
developer that owns a large
tract of land along the high-
way, for respecting the citys
process, but could not accept
the consultants recommend
land use concept that propos-
es developing the entire site.
It meets the economic
needs of the North Lougheed
Connector, he said.
But I have grave reserva-
tions of the possibility of it
getting through the [Agricul-
ture Land Commission].
Meanwhile, Coun. Doug
Bing, who will be vying for
the mayors seat come No-
vember, voiced his support
for the third option.
Its the last developable
piece of land in Pitt Meadows.
The location is right on the
highway. It really supports
some employment-generat-
ing economic development,
he said. It seems the only
logical way to go.
Council will vote on the
committee recommendation
to forward the report to the
Agricultural Land Commis-
sion at a regular meeting next
week.

THE NEWS/opinion
M
y last trip to
the Canadian
Arctic was
for a dual purpose, to
meet the immediate
health care needs
of the Inuit, and to
explore the start of
a pilot project to lay
the foundations of a
healthier and more
prosperous future for
the very young.
Like most physicians,
I have always been
acutely aware that
social circumstances and lifestyle have a
lot to do with ones health status.
In the past eight years that I have worked
in the Canadian Arctic, off and on, it has
become even more clear that all the health
care resources in the world are not going
to be very effective unless we deal with
issues of the lack of education, widespread
alcohol and drug abuse, lack of mental
health care, lack of adequate housing, and
lack of food.
Less than 100 years ago, the Inuit were
largely self-sufcient, dependent on what
the land and the sea provided, supplement-
ed with what the occasional contact with
whalers and the Hudson Bay Company fur
traders brought with them.
Some of the contacts with the early
European and Canadian traders were
benecial, but much was and still is det-
rimental to the health of the Inuit popula-
tion. Tuberculosis was unknown until the
European whalers infected the Inuit with
disastrous effects that linger to today with
19 times the national average. Smallpox,
measles and poliomyelitis decimated the
population. The introduction of tobacco
has resulted in the highest rate of lung
cancer in our country and the mortality
from tobacco use is rising in Nunavut in
contrast to the rest of Canada, where it is
dropping. The suicide rate is 10 times the
national average and alcohol abuse is all
too common.
The residential school program, instituted
by the federal government in the late 1800s
and run by various religious organizations
until the last school was closed in 1996, was
a deliberate and premeditated destruction
of anything aboriginal. That experience of
some 80,000 aboriginal people has left many
not only with a negative attitude towards
education, but also induced alcoholism and
violence as a lifestyle.
All these facts take on a very different
perspective when one actually is con-
fronted with these realities as a physi-
cian trying to limit the damage of what
our western culture has inicted upon
the Inuit spirit and outlook on life. This
year there will be no graduates from high
school in the community where I worked.
The day I visited the school, only two of 20
Grade 10 students attended classes. Lack
of education will condemn most people
anywhere to a life on the lower margins of
society, unable to getting a well-paying job,
unable to raise a family with good parent-
ing skills and, thereby, creating a vicious
cycle of dependency for their offspring,
as well, and this is especially true for the
Inuit. Even the very few who attend school
through Grade 12 are often barely able to
read and write, since they are promoted to
the next grade regardless of their academ-
ic performance.
Where does one start to turn this
around? Government alone is unable to
do that even though, on paper, there are
many worthwhile goals and initiatives.
I had the opportunity to consult with
the leadership of the settlement where
I worked and these people endorsed a
number of initiatives. One is ready to be
implemented.
There will be about 40 newborn children
in that community this year. Our local
Rotarians, with the assistance of some
generous individuals, are prepared to fund
a unique early childhood literacy program,
in which every child will receive a book
every month in the mail until age ve. The
books are of high quality, age appropriate
and from the experience in other commu-
nities, we expect the children to develop a
love for books and reading by the time they
are ready to attend school.
It was Dolly Parton who conceived of this
idea and initially funded the books for the
children in the community where she was
raised by parents who were illiterate.
Currently, there are thousands of under-
privileged children in the U.S., Canada and
the U.K. who receive these books, and it is
my hope that this may just be the begin-
ning of a new era of self-sufciency for the
Inuit being on the road to being educated
on their own terms.

physician who lives in Maple Ridge.

This weeks question:
Do you support keeping the HST?
@ Online poll: cast your vote at www.mapleridgenews.com, or e-mail your vote and comments to editor@mapleridgenews.com
As the campaign for voters hearts and minds
in the provincial HST referendum reaches its -
nal stage, most of us seem to have heavy hearts.
And according to a recent Angus Reid poll,
some of us have such clouded minds were not
even clear on what the basic question means any
more.
It cant be doubted that some of the confusion
comes from a chorus of raised voices not to
mention stick gures who accost us daily.
Do we trust Fight HST organizers Bill Vander
Zalm and Chris Delaney? They play well to the
emotions, particularly locally (a point that Fi-
nance Minister Kevin Falcon might want to give
closer attention).
But while their successful grassroots initiative
resulted in the referendum in the rst place, they
have not been immune to charges of misleading
the public on facts.
Neither has the provincial NDP, which has
launched a campaign to extinguish the HST and
return to the GST-plus-PST structure.
Do we believe their claim that going back to the
GST/PST will help balance the budget sooner, as
well as save taxpayers $2 billion?
Falcon has attacked NDP Leader Adrian Dix
for faulty math, saying the 10 per cent HST rate
promised by the Liberals by 2014 is clearly less
than the 12 per cent GST/PST rate championed
by Dix.
Falcon also wonders where the money will
come from to x the $3-billion hole extinguish-
ing the HST would create? possibly forgetting
that, for taxpayers, this begs the question of who
actually dug the hole.
The average taxpayer might be forgiven for
wondering if, like Diogenes, one must venture
forth with a lamp seeking someone who will give
us a straightforward and honest answer.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Do your homework on HST (The
News, June 14).
Walter Verwoerd, I am glad you ap-
preciate the time, work, effort and
money that has gone into ghting this
poorly thought out, badly implemented
tax shift.
I am afraid the only accomplishments
we have really made are all in your
head and you can attribute that to as
much as $20 million dollars in govern-
ment and corporate propaganda.
Next year I will still pay more than
$1,000 of HST on the registered thera-
peutic massage that I use to control my
bromyalgia condition.
Next year, I will not be spending the
$800 or 140 per cent HST increase on
the labour to do those home renova-
tions; been there done that this year.
But unfortunately our roof does need
replacing and that will be an extra 140
per cent on the labour to install that
roof, which with all the other items and
services I pay that extra seven per cent
on, I will no doubt be up around that
$2,000 mark of extra taxes, same as the
past 11 months.
Every home owner will replace a roof
or have to renovate at some time unless
you are rich enough to buy a new house
every few years, and you do not even
want to go there as it could cost you an
extra $50,000 dollars or more all thanks
to the HST.
The alleged HST reductions are noth-
ing more than birds in the bush, and
as far as the reductions being law, it is
also against the law to run a decit in
B.C., and with the scal responsibility
this government has shown, it is highly
unlikely this province will be running a
balanced budget any time soon.
If so, which law are the Liberals, or
whatever government is in power in
2013-2014, likely to respect: balanced
budget or reduce the HST?
This is all moot. A one or two percent
tax increase is a big deal at the best of
times, but a 140 per cent tax increase
or even a 100 per cent tax increase on
hundreds of everyday critical goods
and services is the stuff revolutions are
made off.
Nothing has changed. It is still a
poorly thought out and unjust tax. The
only thing changing is your percep-
tion of this tax grab. Do not let them
brainwash you with your own money.
This tax has already hurt many of the
citizens of B.C. and it will continue to
put many people in the street as their
ability to borrow money runs out and
drives them into insolvency.
B.C. already has one of the highest
rates of mortgages in arrears and has
the highest consumer insolvency rate
in Canada.
Maybe instead of just giving in to the
propaganda and spin you should get in
touch with Corisa Bell and offer to help
put an end to this nancial injustice.
The DBRS believes the province of
B.C. has the exibility to manage either
outcome without signicantly altering
its scal outlook.

Re: Selling HST to the me genera-
tion (B.C. Views, June 1.)
From my perspective, Tom Fletcher
omitted some key points. The main
stumbling block is the way the govern-
ment brought it to life. Lies and deceit.
This revenue neutral tax is going to be
a boost of $1 billion for this year to gov-
ernment coffers. Taxpayers money, as
was as the $1.6 billion from the feds.
The governments of this country have
it backwards when they think they can
just up the ante when they need more
revenue to cover their outlandish spend-
ing when they should be looking at re-
ducing the expenditures instead of in-
creasing the taxes.
Heaven help us if this HST boondoggle
gets the NDP elected next time out. I
think the populace has to vote yes in
the referendum to show government
that we have been pushed far enough.
If, as Mr. Fletcher suggests, haircuts
and restaurant meals stay taxed if we go
back to the PST, that might cause a big-
ger kerfufe that this one.

Re: Thank you (Letters, June 29).
I think Jo Vella owes Pitt Meadows councillors an apolo-

And the mayor, after 21 years on council, crawls under
a rug and claims he didnt know he should be identied
as the municipal insurer, that is just a crock.
The mayor knows what is a conict of interest and he
alone should take responsibility for his action. He knows
what goes on in his private business and should stand up,
be accountable and stop pointing ngers.
This guy knows what is right and wrong in politics.
Dont think for one minute he didnt know the charter
our oath he took . He was hoping he could slide out with
no one knowing what goes on behind closed doors.
Do the honourable thing, mayor, and step aside.

the great Vancou-

at the depravity
of these times, the

Give me a break.
People riot around the world, given
the right circumstances.
The veneer of civilization always
remains thin and when you mix a few
ingredients, it doesnt take long for
society to slink back to the law of the
jungle.
Let me see if I got this right.
In 1994, after the Vancouver
Canucks rst lost in the cup nal,
people rioted on Robson Street.
At the start of the 2010 Vancouver
Winter Olympics, the black-clad
idiots did their thing and broke
windows on Georgia Street, after
which, thanks to an overwhelming
police presence, the Games became a
downtown love fest.
So back to the most recent riot.
Lets see, set up some big screen
TVs downtown, invite thousands into
the city centre to watch their beloved
Vancouver Canucks, ensure plenty of
vehicles are left around for torching,
and dont forget to leave the newspa-
per boxes out as well. Mix in alcohol,
disappointment, anger and a few
dozen instigators, and the sight of
police standing idly by, if they were
visible at all and what do you think
would happen?
Who knew?
What I dont get is how 17-year-old
Nathan Kotylak from Maple Ridge,
caught trying to torch a police car,
becomes the scapegoat for the entire
event.
Small, online minds want the water
polo player banned for ve years
from the Olympic water polo team.
Thats ridiculous.
Kotylak screwed up, no doubt about
it, and has to be accountable.
But hes already, appeared on cam-
era, faced the mob and apologized,
his parents by his side.
How many others have done that?
Everyone screws up. Some get
caught. Some dont.
You could argue he wouldnt have
done that if the camera hadnt caught
him.
Fair enough.
But theres no need to wreck his life
by banning him from pursuing his
Olympic dreams.
Try as he might, his actions didnt
set the police car on re it was
about half a dozen dingbats who
actually knew how to do that.
And nobody died. And except for
the merchants, alls well that ends
well.
Premier Christy Clark says she
wants the instigators of the riot to
see the inside of a jail cell.
What a bunch of hot air.
But if she wants to get tough on
crime, apply those efforts equally. If
the Kelowna ofcer accused of kick-
ing a man in the face is convicted, he
should see the inside of a jail cell.
What about the 2005 fatal, in-
custody police shooting of a kid in
the back of the head (after he was ar-
rested for holding an open beer can)?
If the ofcers facing breach of trust
and obstruction of justice charges in
the investigation of the Surrey Six
murders are convicted, shouldnt
they see the inside of a jail cell?
What about the fabulous four who
killed a confused immigrant at Van-
couver International Airport? Will
they see the inside of a jail cell?
How about the West Van ofcer,
who while dead drunk, beat the living
tar out of an immigrant in downtown
Vancouver? Will he see the inside of
a jail cell?
So do you put a lout in jail for
breaking a window?
We all know, the majority of police
take it on the chin daily and say nary
a word as they serve the public.
But if you want to get tough on
crime, also get tough on police when
they screw up.
Kotylak did a stupid thing that
could have had serious consequences
but nobody died.
He should pay his dues, be rein-
stated to the junior national the
water polo team and compete in the
Olympics. Maybe he could light the
Olympic torch or something.
As for the cyber bullies, back off
and give the kid a break.

Re: Maple Ridge taxes, wages, expenses all climb (The News, June 29).
I hope all the people who want to keep business out of Maple Ridge read
this article. Our taxes have gone up 38 per cent in five years. It costs almost
$100 million to run the municipality of only 75,000; 101 municipal employ-
ees make more than $75,000. For those who complain about the rich and
overpaid, they were the top 10 taxpayers in Maple Ridge, the top being B.C.
Hydro at $1,038,974. We need more business folks or you will see your tax
bill skyrocket more over the next coming years, with municipal employees
enjoying even more.
The Maple Ridge-Pitt
Meadows school board
passed a balanced
2011/12 budget Tuesday
as trustees voted to ap-
prove more than $2 mil-
lion in cuts.
Among the programs
cut will be the districts
elementary school
band program, while
the districts special
education program will
be trimmed by $180,000.
That doesnt sit well
with Maple Ridge
Teachers Association
president George Ser-
ra.
In a letter to the board,
Serra decried the cuts,
stating that special edu-
cation support teachers
are already stretched
too thin.
We nd the rationale
to justify the cuts to the
special education por-
tion of the budget, quite
frankly, disturbing, he
stated. We believe that
the services provided
to students by these
teachers, notably those
students who have
distinct learning chal-
lenges, are worth their
weight in gold.
School district di-
rector Laurie Meston
defended the cuts at
Tuesdays board meet-
ing, noting that School
District No. 42s ratio of
support workers to stu-
dents was still far be-
low that of neighbour-
ing districts.
I have a lot of respect
for Laurie, but I dis-
agree that these cuts
are manageable, Serra
said after the meeting.
Obviously, were dis-
appointed, but we un-
derstand the challenge
[trustees] are faced
with.
The district will also
eliminate the elementa-
ry school band teacher
position. For the past
two years, the teach-
er regularly visited
close to 20 elementary
schools in the district
to deliver the elemen-
tary band program to
Grade 6 and 7 students.
District high schools
will now go back to
hosting the program
the way they did prior
to the hiring of the el-
ementary band teacher
two years ago.
The district will also
see increased class
sizes at the secondary
and intermediate lev-
els, a two per cent re-
duction in services and
supplies, a reduction in
clerical hours, and the
canceling of the dis-
tricts IT contract.
Board chair Ken
Clarkson said trustees
will have to make even
more cuts next year,
unless the provincial
government begins to
adequately fund public
education.
There isnt any fat
left to trim, I believe,
said Clarkson.
School boards are
required by law to sub-
mit balanced budgets.
Should trustees ap-
prove a decit budget,
the province has the
power to re them and
assume control of the
board.
The North Vancouver
school board was red
in 1996 by the NDP gov-
ernment in power at the
time, after the board
presented the province
with a decit budget. In
1985, the Social Credit
government of the day
red the Vancouver
school board trustees
over similar budget is-
sues.
Next years $127.7
million budget is down
more than $500,000 from
the 2010/11 school year.
The district is expect-
ing a $750,000 drop in
revenue due largely to
a reduction in provin-
cial funding, as well as
an $1.5 million increase
in costs from pensions,
MSP premiums, and
holiday pay.
Trustees approve $2 million in cuts

staff repor ter
Local school board
chair Ken Clarkson ab-
sented from voting on
the districts stafng
budget at Tuesdays
regular meeting.
However, some of his
fellow trustees ques-
tioned wether he should
have removed himself
from the budget pro-
cess entirely.
Clarksons son is a
substitute teacher with
the district and works
around ve days a
month at local schools.
According to the
School Act, a trustee is
considered in conict
of interest if they have
a child who has a nan-
cial interest in a matter
before the board.
Acting on previous
legal advice, Clarkson
absented from voting
on the portion of the
districts budget that
pertained to stafng.
However, trustee Mike
Huber questioned the
timing of the declara-
tion, asking if it would
be more appropriate
for trustees to declare
their conict at the be-
ginning of the process,
rather than the end.
It seems a little bit
backwards, from the
point that if you have
a conict, you would
declare it before youre
involved in the process
and remove yourself
from the entire pro-
cess, he said.
Clarkson was the
chair of the boards
committee of the whole,
which deliberated on
the stafng budget.
The School Act states
that a trustee who de-
clares a conict must
not take part in any
discussion of or vote on
any question in respect
to the matter.
Trustee Dave Rempel
said that every trustee,
including Clarkson, had
an inuence on the bud-
get proceedings. How-
ever, after the meeting,
Rempel said he saw no
direct linkage between
the budget and Clark-
sons sons position.
In the past, both Hu-
ber and Rempel have
opted not to vote on
the budgets stafng
portion, as both had
spouses employed by
the district.
In response to Hubers
query, secretary trea-
surer Wayne Jefferson
said it was the personal
decision of each trustee
as to when they declare
a conict of interest,
and that Clarksons ac-
tions were consistent
with legal advice from
the B.C. School Trust-
ees Association.
After the meeting,
Clarkson said he didnt
believe his situation
constituted a conict of
interest.
The School Act states
that conict of interest
would not apply if the
pecuniary interest of
the trustee ... is so re-
mote or insignicant in
its nature that it cannot
reasonably be regarded
as likely to inuence
the trustee.
However, Clarkson
said he opted to err on
the side of caution and
absent from the vote,
as he did the past two
years, so as not jeopar-
dize the work of trust-
ees and staff.
Trustee Stepan
Vdovine said Huber
had a valid point, and
stressed the need for
the province and the
BCSTA to provide
clearer guidelines for
trustees.

CLOSED CANADA DAY SALE STARTS JULY 2
Dalton pointed out its
only a cent more on a
litre of gasoline.
This is not a cash cow
for the government to go
into general revenue. Its
mandated to go into tax
relief.
There has also been
some discussion of allo-
cating part of the tax for
different purposes. That
could happen after July
2012, when the last in-
crease hits, Dalton said.
He said such a tax also
could be a factor in mak-
ing all new vehicles more
fuel efcient.
Maple Ridge construc-
tion worker Cliff Axten
wasnt impressed, howev-
er, and said every penny
adds up, as he stopped to
ll up at a Petro Can gas
station in Maple Ridge.
He uses a Chevy S-10
for work, but drives a
5.7-litre Dodge Ram die-
sel for so he can carry a
camper. One ll-up of the
latter will cost between
$160 and $170 a tank.
The money I make,
the money that goes out
the door, is absolutely
insane.
He said when the Gold-
en Ears Bridge tolls are
added on to the daily cost
of parking and gasoline,
the average commuter
could be paying $35 a day
just to get to work.
The increase is part
of a packet of B.C. taxes
that adds 29 cents a litre
in the Lower Mainland.
That results from add-
ing 5.5 cents a litre from
the carbon tax to Trans-
Links 15 cent-a-litre tax,
to B.C. Transportation
Financing Authoritys
tax of 6.75 cents a litre
and the provincial gen-
eral revenue tax of 1.75
cents a litre.
Axten thinks he should
get a rebate for the
TransLink gasoline tax
because he cant use the
public transportation
system and needs his
truck for work.
We dont have the
exibility we did in
2006, he said during a
tour of Kanaka Creek
elementary. Thats the
reality we have to work
with.
Serra said the lack
of progress at the lo-
cal level has also been
frustrating for teach-
ers. The local teach-
ers union would like
to negotiate a number
of smaller, non-salary
items locally, such as
unpaid leaves of ab-
sences, teacher evalua-
tion, and the provision
of seniority.
Things are cordial,
but local boards are
rather powerless, said
Serra.
School board chair
Ken Clarkson said the
boards hands are tied
when it comes to what
can be discussed at the
local bargaining table.
We are fairly lim-
ited in what we can bar-
gain, he said.
This is not a cash cow for the govt
Strike from front

B.C. voters will get an
extra two weeks to de-
cide the fate of the har-
monized sales tax.
Acting Chief Electoral
Ofcer Craig James has
extended the HST refer-
endum deadline to com-
pensate for mail delivery
delays stemming from
the Canada Post labour
dispute.
The delay had been re-
quested by NDP leader
Adrian Dix, who called
the extension a victory
for the democratic pro-
cess.
Ballots that had been
due back July 22 must
now be returned to Elec-
tions B.C. by 4:30 p.m.
Friday, Aug. 5.
Eligible voters who are
not on the voters list will
now get until July 22 to
request a voting pack-
age.
The ballot packages
came with a postage-
paid envelope, but vot-
ers can also choose to
directly return their bal-
lots to a Service BC or
Elections B.C. collection
centre by Aug. 5. (Loca-
tions listed at www.elec-
tions.bc.ca)
Elections B.C. says
voters should receive
their voting packages
by July 7.
Results of the referen-
dum may not be known
until September.
Voters are asked to
vote Yes if they want to
eliminate the 12-per-cent
HST and return to the
combination of the ve
per cent GST and seven
per cent provincial sales
tax. Theyre to vote No
if they want to keep the
HST.
The province, in an
effort to rally more sup-
port to retain the tax, has
pledged to lower the rate
to 10 per cent by 2014.
It will also send out ad-
ditional one-time rebate
cheques for low-income
seniors and families
with children.

W
hile cars speed by, the corridor
carved out for the approach
roads and ramps to Golden
Ears Bridge are greening up the way
they should, part of the environmental
mitigation for the $808-million project.
And it could be bringing back some crit-
ters that have been gone a long time from
the area.
Local resident Harold Moody helped
out with the restoration and said he nev-
er saw wildlife in the area until after the
project was completed. But lately hes
seen deer and snapped a few photos of a
coyote family enjoying the slough.
Hundreds of native trees and shrubs
have been planted along the corridor
leading the bridge to balance, as much
as possible, the tonnes of concrete and
steel that now connect north and south
shores of the Fraser River. The toll bridge
opened in July 2009.
Generally, the idea is to plant indig-
enous species, keep the weeds and inva-
sive species out and try to let the area
ourish as naturally as possible, said
Richard Bayliss, project manager with
Golden Crossing Constructors Joint Ven-
ture.
Reports have to be led yearly for ve
years with Fisheries and Oceans Canada
on the restoration.
Part of the project involved adding sev-
eral metres of water channel to serve as
sh habitat near the trafc roundabout
at 113B Avenue. Streamside areas on
both sides of Katzie Slough were also im-
proved by adding shrubs, grasses, plants
and bioltration ponds.
The water in the Katzie Slough, or the
nearby ponds, or the surrounding habi-
tat, isnt the greatest.
Nevertheless, even a few juvenile coho
salmon have been found, although its
mostly stickleback sh a small spiny
species along with bullfrogs, an inva-
sive species.
Dozens of evergreens have been plant-
ed around the exit ramps that will create
a parklike atmosphere as motorists exit
the bridge.
Bayliss isnt surprised by reports of coy-
otes, but is by the deer sighting.
So far, the restoration is going well and
there are no surprises, he added.
He said B.C. sets a higher standard
for remediation than some places hes
worked, such as in Hong Kong or Africa,
where the environment is second or
third consideration on the list. Here, its
nearly at the top of the list.
Given the relatively small percentage of
the overall cost of the project, restoration
has long-term benets. Ensuring both
sides of the Golden Ears Bridge were as
green as possible, cost less than a million
dollars, Bayliss said.
Coyotes now frolic near Golden Ears Bridge
Restoration work bringing
wildlife back to the area
By Monisha Martins
staff reporter
Dont feel sorry for a pack of coyotes whove
been displaced from their homes by logging on a
piece of private property in south Pitt Meadows.
The animals, including a mother with seven
pups, have been spotted roaming around Osprey
Village and crossing busy thoroughfares at Harris
Road and Airport Way.
They are going crazy and being very protective
about their pups, said Coun. Tracy Miyashita,
who asked council on Tuesday if the city could do
something about the problem.
However, the B.C. Conservation Service recom-
mends doing nothing, other than making sure
garbage, pets and pet food are secure so the coy-
otes cant nd an easy snack.
Denny Chrtien, a conservation ofcer, said coy-
otes are quick to migrate from dens.
In the wild, its a very natural thing to do, he
explains.
Most coyotes or canines already have multiple
dens set up in their range that they move to imme-
diately after a threat. When they lose their fear of
humans, then thats a problem.
The conservation service has received three
calls reporting coyotes near Osprey Village since
June 1.
Since the beginning of the year, the Tri-City area,
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows generated a total of
28 calls about coyotes. Of those, only two involved
aggressive animals, while three were pet kills.
Smaller than a wolf, and more adaptable, the
coyote is one of the few mammals whose range
is increasing, despite extensive persecution by
people.

It will be easier to
hook up a solar ther-
mal water system in
your new house in
Maple Ridge and Pitt
Meadows.
The municipalities
have adopted a regula-
tion, along with 34 oth-
er B.C. cities, that says
all new homes will be
built to accommodate
a future solar system
if homeowners want to
install one.
The regulation
doesnt require new
homes to have a solar
system, just leave space
so that one can be in-
stalled, particularly an
area for a solar collec-
tor, says a news release
from the Ministry of
Energy and Mines.
Sunlight can be
used to either activate
photo-voltaic cells to
produce electricity or
to pre-heat water for
domestic use, thus re-
ducing natural gas con-
sumption.
Building the accom-
modation into the
house will add about
$500 to the cost.
Meanwhile, the Min-
istry of Agriculture is
looking for your ideas
on limiting the size
of homes built in the
Agricultural Land Re-
serve and restricting
their location, in order
to prevent farmland
turning into country
residential estates.
The ministry has al-
ready consulted with
local governments,
farmers, producers,
and realtors on the
matter but also want to
hear from the public.
A provincial guideline
would provide a foun-
dation for consistent
decision making, while
leaving enough ex-
ibility for local govern-
ments to consider their
communitys specic
issues and needs or
the details of a specic
property, said Minister
Don McRae.
People can put in
their two cents by go-
ing to http://www.agf.

dex.htm.

14 to comment.

Coyotes from p11
In Canada, the coyote still lives in its traditional
habitats the aspen parkland and grasslands in
the three prairie provinces.
However, it has spread north into the boreal for-
est, west into the mountains, and east into Ontario,
Quebec, and the Atlantic provinces.
You cant straight out blame the bulldozers.
Coyotes love being in the open air, said Chrtien.
They like elds because they feed on mice. Its
all natural what people are observing. Those pups
are now exploring their boundaries. Until a few of
them either get hit by vehicles, shot or trapped,
then their demeanour will change. Its all part of
natural selection.
It is not normal for coyotes to attack or pursue
humans, especially adults.
Problems between children and coyotes are usu-
ally the result of the coyote becoming conditioned
or comfortable with people as a result of direct or
indirect feeding.
Children shouldnt be left unsupervised if a coy-
ote is in area.
Coexisting with coyotes
If a coyote has acted aggressively or displayed aggressive
behaviour towards a human, call 1-800-663-9453. The
Stanley Park Ecology Society also ofers excellent tips on how
to coexist with coyotes at stanleyparkecology.ca or by calling
604-681-WILD (9453) or by e-mail at coyotes@stanleyparkecol-
ogy.ca.

Canadian Collectors Roadshow
Staff Writer
After very successful shows in
Penticton and Tsawwassen, The Road-
show is coming to Pt. Coquitlam. So you
had better search through your attics and
garages, go through your lock boxes and
jewellery, because you may be sitting
on a small fortune and not even know it!
Roadshow experts are here to examine
all your antiques, collectibles, gold and
silver.
During a show near Toronto, a woman
came in with a jewellery box that she
had just inherited from her late aunt. I
dont wear jewellery, explained Barbara
Engles, so it was an easy decision to
come down to the Roadshow to sell it.
She was very excited when she was able
to walk away with a cheque for over
$2,100 for jewellery she was never going
to wear anyway.
Expert Elijah Gold explains, We have
noticed a substantial increase in the
amount of precious metals such as gold
and silver coming to the Roadshow,
which makes sense considering how
high its currently trading at. He added,
The Roadshow is great because it puts
money in peoples pockets, especially
during such hard times. Lots of items
that are just sitting around collecting dust
in basements and jewellery boxes can be
exchanged for money, on the spot!
At another Roadshow event, a woman,
named Mira Kovalchek, walked in with
a tin full of hundreds of old coins that
were given to her as a young child by her
grandfather. She nally decided to come
in to the Roadshow and see what he
had given her. She was ecstatic to learn
she had coins dating back to the late
1800s, some of which were extremely
rare. Roadshow consultant Perry Bruce
explains We had uncovered an 1871
Queen Victoria 50 Cent piece, valued at
over $2,000!! She had a nice assortment
of coins that were not rare dates, but
she was able to sell them for their silver
content. She explains, I never would
have thought that my old tin of coins was
worth so much! I can nally afford to
renovate my kitchen. Perry Bruce con-
tinued, Canadian coins prior to 1967,
and American coins prior to 1964 are all
made with silver, and we have noticed
a large increase of customers coming to
the Roadshow with coins and cashing
them in for their silver value.
Experts at the Roadshow will evalu-
ate and examine your items, FREE OF
CHARGE, as well as educate you on
them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of
people during a one week event, and
they have been travelling across Canada
to different cities and towns, searching
for your forgotten treasures.
Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs,
pocket watches, porcelain and bisque
dolls, pretty much everything can be
sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition
Barbies are sought after by the Road-
show collectors, as well as a variety of
Dinky Toys and Matchbox cars. Lionel
Trains and a variety of tin toys can also
fetch a price, especially if they are in
their original box or in mint condition.
If a collector is looking for one of your
collectibles, they can always make an
offer to buy it.
Aman brought in a 1950s Marx Tin Toy
Robot, in fairly good condition, still in
its original box. They were able to locate
a collector for that specic toy within
minutes, and that gentleman went home
with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a

Serving Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows since 1978
A solution to quieten
the noisy expansion
joints on the Golden
Ears Bridge has re-
duced the din on its
deck and in nearby
neighbourhoods.
Testing done by
TransLink found the
cloth-like inserts have
reduced noise on the
bridge deck between
six and 10 decibels,
while night time noise
heard in Pitt Meadows
along Wildwood Cres-
cent dropped by more
than 10 decibels.
Work on the remain-
ing joints will be com-
plete by early August.
Meanwhile, addi-
tional speed and noise
reduction measures,
which include larger
speed limit signs, use
of engine brake signs,
additional road mark-
ings, and LED speed
limit signs, are being
considered by Trans-
Link.
Despite requests
from nearby residents,
the noise walls wont
be getting any higher.
Vincent Gonsalves,
a community relations
coordinator for Trans-
Link said the one year
post-construction noise
monitoring report has
been reviewed and con-
rmed that the current
noise walls sufciently
comply with provincial
policy.
Therefore Trans-
Link will not be pursu-
ing any further actions
regarding noise wall
height, he said in an
update emailed to resi-
dents.
At the suggestion of
Coun. John Becker, Pitt
Meadows is consider-
ing forming a commit-
tee to address concerns
about the toll bridge.
City staff will be con-
tacting TransLink to
inquire about facilitat-
ing and co-ordinating
a stakeholders meeting
involving all four mu-
nicipalities that border
the bridge.
TransLink test finds GE bridge quieter
Cloth-like inserts
have reduced noise
on the bridge deck
between six and 10

A teenager from Van-
couver was arrested by
Mounties early Thurs-
day after drugs were
found in the car he was
driving during a routine
trafc spot.
The 17-year-old was
stopped around 1:30 a.m.
on Abernethy Way, just
west of 224 Street in Ma-
ple Ridge.
Cpl. Alanna Dunlop
said police found what is
believed to be packaged
heroin, in plain view in-
side the car.
After arresting the
teen, police also seized
quantities of what they
believe are marijuana,
crack cocaine and more
heroin.
The young man was
released from police
custody shortly after
on a promise to appear
in youth court at a later
date.
Repeat ofender
A man who tried to
steal from a Shoppers
Drug Mart in Maple
Ridge was arrested by
police on Wednesday.
The 43-year-old
walked into the store
in the 20300-block of
the Lougheed Highway
around 7 p.m. and was
seen trying to leave
without paying for sev-
eral items.
An employee who wit-
nessed the theft attempt-
ed to stop the man, but
he ran out of the store.
Police were called and
an ofcer was shown a
photograph of the man.
Cpl. Alanna Dunlop
said that ofcer rec-
ognize the man in the
photograph as a prolic
offender.
The same ofcer
stopped the man, walk-
ing on Dewdney Trunk
Road, near 223rd Street.
The stolen items were
recovered by police.
Car crash
Two drivers were tak-
en to hospital following
a crash Tuesday after-
noon.
The incident occurred
at about 3:15 p.m. at 224th
Street and Lougheed
Highway.
Both cars, a Honda
Civic and a Chrysler
Sebring, were damaged
in the crash and had to
be towed.
An investigation into
the cause is still under-
way.
Anyone who wit-
nessed the crash is asked
to call Ridge Meadows
RCMP at 604-463-6251.
Drugs seized
A prohibited weapon
and a quantity of illegal
drugs were seized by
police on Tuesday after
a car was stopped in Ma-
ple Ridge.
A Mountie pulled over
the vehicle around 1:30
p.m. in the 21200-block of
117th Avenue.
The police ofcer de-
tected an odour of mari-
juana coming from the
car.
A search of the car re-
sulted in the seizure of
what police believe to be
crack cocaine and mari-
juana.
The driver, a 24-year-
old man from Richmond,
was released from cus-
tody with a court date.
No scam here
Ridge Meadows RCMP
are conrming the le-
gitimacy of a door-to-
door salesman who is
hawking home alarm
systems.
Police were asked to
check into the salesman,
who was canvassing
homes on Camwood Av-
enue just before 9 p.m.
on Tuesday.
Cpl. Alanna Dunlop
said it turns out the man
is in fact selling alarms
for a bonade alarm
company.
Stolen car
Ridge Meadows RCMP
are looking for a red 1996
Mazda MX6 that was sto-
len on Monday in Maple
Ridge.
The car was taken from
the 23700-block of Tama-
rack Lane sometime be-
tween 4 a.m. and 6 a.m.
The car had British Co-
lumbia licence plates 137
TBA on it at the time of
the theft.
Drive safe
Starting this Friday,
police from across Brit-
ish Columbia will be
out in force targeting
impaired, distracted
and dangerous drivers.
Unfortunately it
seems that we need to
remind people regu-
larly that certain ac-
tions can have deadly
consequences driving
while impaired, either
from alcohol or drugs,
speeding, and driving
while distracted all
dramatically increases
the likelihood of being
in a collision. There is
simply no excuse for
these behaviours as
they put the lives of
other people at risk,
said RCMP Supt. Mike
Diack.

Its now easier to stay off the
road and enjoy the greenery after
the opening of the North Alouette
River Greenway Bridge on the
weekend.
Maple Ridge completed the foot
and horse bridge thanks to help
from the federal Recreational In-
frastructure Canada program.
The bridge connects a network
of trails that have been built and
maintained by the Haney Horse-
men Association, and is located
on a 30.5-hectare parcel of land
acquired in 2006 through a part-
nership between the District of
Maple Ridge and Metro Vancou-
ver Parks.
The RInC program has also al-
lowed Maple Ridge to replace the
Vernon Bridge at 216th Street and
136th Avenue, and improve trails
with the construction of staging
area facilities off Park Lane near
the Maple Ridge Equi-Sport Cen-
tre.
M2K Construction Ltd. and Ea-
gle Bridge Inc. built the bridge and
AECOM Canada Ltd. designed it.
Environmental consultants were
on site to monitor stages of con-
struction and provide a replanting
plan that will be completed in the
fall.
The two bridges cost $597,544, a
sum reduced by federal grants.
The North Alouette River Green-
way Bridge, near Park Lane and
136th Avenue, will replace a struc-
ture that was previously removed
and keep horses from having to
cross in the streams where they
can damage sh habitat.
The greenway follows the North
Alouette River, then connects to
Tims Trail and Docksteader Trail
in Silver Valley. Connecting trails
then lead to Golden Ears Provin-
cial Park.
The entire route includes only a
short passage on the shoulder of
136th Avenue.
Thanks to gaps lled in the trails
in the Docksteader Trail area a
few years ago as development pro-
gressed, most of the trail is now
off road, keeping users off 132nd
Avenue.
Costs for the Greenway bridge
were higher than projected be-
cause of the decision to add a wa-
ter main utility on to the bridge in
order to serve adjacent property.
That was part of a land exchange
between Biln Farms, Maple Ridge
and Pitt Meadows.
New bridge connects trails to GE park

A Gangster Caper
directed by
John Stuart
Em
erald Pig
Theatrical Society
presents William Shakespeares
The Comedy
of Errors
U
rban
legend
states
that every
woman has, in
her closet, a
little red dress
(or something to
that effect, like a
great blouse or
well-tailored pant suit) which
hangs, cleaned and pressed,
just waiting for that special
occasion to come around.
The proverbial little red dress serves just
one purpose it is meant to catch the eye
and remind the beholder of what attracted
them in the rst place. Hence the reason it
is often worn during celebrations marking
time, such as birthdays and anniversaries.
This same principle also applies to land-
scape design, particularly older, estab-
lished gardens that are often overgrown
and suffering from an excess of greenery.
Once the barrage of spring colour has
past, these landscapes are just a midsum-
mer melange of green conifers, broad-
leaved evergreens and deciduous shrubs;
or to quote Charlie Browns teacher: blah,
blah, blah.
The key to rejuvenating these gardens
is an infusion of foliar colour rather than
owering plants, as the majority of the
latter have only a limited blooming season
before they simply revert back to some
greenish hue.
Despite my little red dress reference
(which served its purpose), the best foliar
colour to introduce to a monotone gar-
den is gold. It should be used sparingly,
preferably in groups of three or ve spread
over the entire landscape, with the green
plants in between. This means that for the
average front yard you could use three
gold-leaved features which might include
a small tree (Igolden fullmoon maple/Acer
shirasawanum Aureum), a trio of decidu-
ous shrubs (Spiraea Magic Carpet, which
is gold-leaved by the time it owers) and
perhaps a medium-sized conifer, such
as Chamaecyparis Sungold or golden
threadleafed cypress. Larger properties
might up those groupings from three to
ve, depending on the scale.
There are quite a few manageable golden
tree options out there, with a few good
choices being Dawyck Gold Beech (a co-
lumnar form), Acer platanoides Princeton
Gold (golden Norway maple) and Acer
negundo Kellys Gold.
For those living next to green belts domi-
nated by large conifers, it can sometimes
help to break the monotony by planting a
full-sized golden-leaved shade tree in front,
as the dark green background silhouettes
it for this scenario you might want to
choose Robinia Frisia or Gleditsia Sun-
burst, both of which have elegant form and
golden compound leaves. Your other option
here is to underplant the foreground with
a large golden shrub (this works well when
the existing canopy sits high) such as the
newly introduced Leycesteria formosa
Golden Lanterns or pheasant berry.
There are a plethora of shrub choices
available and quite often they are just
gold-leaved versions of plants that we are
already familiar with. Choisya is a good
example of this, with Sundance being the
gold version of the species and Goldnger
being the golden counterpart of the ner-
textured Aztec Pearl.
Another good option here is Golden
Spirit, a chartreuse cultivar of purple
smoke bush featuring reddish-orange
autumn tones. This deciduous shrub pairs
well with Berberis thunbergii Rose Glow,
a Japanese barberry with rich burgundy
foliage and rose-pink veining.
Speaking of which, there is a great
gold-version of Japanese barberry called
Golden Nugget. It is less prone to scorch
than other forms, reaches heights of only
30 centimetres and has orange fall colour.
The semi-dwarf conifer Thuja occidentalis
Rheingold (can be maintained by pruning
to 12 centimtres tall) is a good all-season
choice as the soft textured gold foliage
picks up bronze-red highlights during the
cold winter weather.
Your vine options are limited, but these
are still quite effective against homes with
dark exteriors or used to highlight areas
of your garden dominated by dark green.
Fiona Sunrise is the gold version of com-
mon jasmine (Jasminum ofcinale) with
its fragrant white summer blooms it re-
quires a sunny, sheltered site. Golden hops
(Humulus lupulus Aureus) is much less
fussy, but it has a reputation for spreading
by suckers. That said, this perennial vine
(it dies back to the ground each year) can
reach heights of six metres in a single sea-
son and the ability to prune it back makes
it easier to maintain our fences or trellises.
Taking us down to the smallest scale of
miniature shrubs and perennials, I would
like to start with some of the heathers. The
brightest of these is Erica cinerea Celebra-
tion, which features electric yellow foli-
age and tiny white blooms several other
good choices would include Golden Sport
and Mary Helen, with the latter being a
winter heather.
Last but not least on my list is Cam-
panula Dicksons Gold, a delightful
creeping perennial with contrasting blue
bellflowers.

Bartley tore
his tricep
at the beginning of
2010, effectively ending
his season with the
American Hockey
Leagues Bridgeport
Sound Tigers, little did
he know it would set
off a chain of events
leading him to an NHL
contract.
The 23-year-old Maple Ridge
defenceman hasnt taken the
most direct route to the big
show, but after signing a two-
year contract with the Nashville
Predators, his dreams of playing
in the NHL are closer than ever.
Its funny how things have
turned out, he says.
In a game against the Albany
River Rats, Bartley pushed off
an opposing player with his left
arm, resulting in an ominous
popping sound as his muscle
tore. Bartley underwent surgery
to repair his arm, and was told
to stay away from the puck.
But he could still skate.
Working with the Tigers train-
ing staff he focused solely on
his skating during his recupera-
tion.
Basically I did nothing but
power skating, six days a week,
for three months straight, Bar-
tley says.
The results have been dramat-
ic.
Its completely changed my
game and allowed me to do
things I havent been able to do
before, he says.
With the added speed, he has
been able to contribute offen-
sively without having to worry
about not being able to get back
on defence.
Despite the strides Bartley
took during his time off with
injury, he still found himself
without a team to play for at
the end of the season. When his
agent called him and asked if he
would be interested in playing
in Sweden, he was intrigued at
the prospect.
I had never thought of going
over there, but it turned out to
be the best thing for me, says
Bartley.
He eventually signed with
Rogle BK, and although the
team plays in Swedens second
tier professional league, Bartley
says he was unprepared for the
amount of work the players put
in.
Each day started with a 1.5 to
two hour high tempo workout in
the gym, followed by and hour
and a half of power skating. Af-
ter lunch the team was back on
the ice for more than two hours
of drills and systems.
It was a total culture shock,
Bartley says. I have never
worked so hard in my life.
After a rough preseason, Bar-
tley soon found his stride. The
team finished with a 26-11-5 re-
cord, and Bartley finished with
34 points in 52 games, averaging
more than a point per game in
the latter half of the season.
By the end of the season, I felt
like I could do no wrong on the
ice, he says.
Among the highlights was
twice-beating the top tier Modo
club, managed by former Ca-
nuck Markus Naslund.
They have more than 700 NHL
games of experience on their
roster, Bartley says. We had
zero.
Bartleys progression as a
hockey player did not go unno-
ticed. Before long he was field-
ing multiple offers from NHL
clubs for his services.
There were more lucrative of-
fers, but I felt Nashville would
give me the best shot to make
the NHL, he says. They have a
great track record for develop-
ing defencemen, and for giving
late-bloomers a second chance.
One such young defenceman
is Jonathon Blum, who Bartley
knows well from his days in the
WHL when Bartleys Kamloops
Blazers played in the same divi-
sion has Blum and the Vancou-
ver Canucks.
Hes a great young player,
Bartley says. Im hoping to play
with him
Since returning from Sweden,
Bartley has been training with
Adam Francilia at Fitlife Centre
for Health and Performance in
Maple Ridge, along with NHLers
Andrew Ladd, Brandon Yip and
James Reimer of the Toronto
Maple Leafs.
The goal this summer as ev-
ery summer is to break his body
down, and rebuild it again. His
training regimen begins the sec-
ond wakes up in the morning,
and everything he eats is strict-
ly regimented.
Its a full-time job, but I dont
think of it like a job, he says. I
get to wake up every morning
and do what I love.
At six-foot-one and 210 pounds,
Bartley has filled out consider-
ably since he went undrafted in
2006.
Training with fellow Maple
Ridge product Brandon Yip has
given him further inspiration
not give up on his dream of play-
ing in the NHL.
After finishing his NCAA ca-
reer with Boston University, Yip
was given his first shot in the
NHL at age 24 with the Colorado
Avalanche. Since then Yip has
notched 41 points in 103 games
in the NHL.
He never gave up on his
dream, and look where he is,
says Bartley.
Bartley is in Nashville for the
Predators development camp
this week where he hopes to
make an impression on the
teams coaching staff. He knows
there is a good possibility he
will start the season with Nash-
villes AHL affiliate in Milwau-
kee, but his goal is to make it to
the NHL this season.
Looking back, he wonders
what would have happened had
he not injured himself a year
and a half ago.
It goes to show, with every
negative theres a positive, he
says.

A36 -- Friday, July 1, 2011 -- THE NEWS - www.mapleridgenews.com
Passed away peacefully in
McKenney Creek Hospice, Maple
Ridge, on June 25th, 2011, in her
87th year. Cancer took her life,
but not her spirit. Moms mantra
was to accept that which can-
not be changed as she bravely
tolerated each stage of her illness . And, as always, she took great
interest in those around her, rather than thinking of herself.
Mom was born on September 15th, 1924, in Herbert, Saskatchewan,
to Abe and Helena Klassen. They moved to Pitt Meadows, B.C. when
she was 17, and soon after, she found work at Consolidated Grocers,
known locally as Struthers Store, where she met the love of her life,
Bob Struthers. They married in 1945, had two children, and made a
good life for their family. Eventually, Mom became Pitt Meadows rst
hairdresser, operating Marys Beauty Salon for a number of years.
In 1974, they retired to Bowser, on Vancouver Island. Dad passed
away in 1982, and some years later, Mom moved to the neighbour-
ing community of Deep Bay, where she lived in her seaside cottage
until October 2010. At that time she moved in with her daughter and
son-in-law in Maple Ridge, and two months later was diagnosed with
terminal cancer.
Mom had many skills and talents, but perhaps her greatest gift was
that of making others welcome in her home; the coffee pot was always
on. Our childhood and teen years were enriched by the knowledge
that our parents made all of our friends feel welcome and valued;
the kitchen was the hub of our home, and our big oak table was often
surrounded by friends, young and old, and family, and by love and
laughter. Mom delighted in feeding people, and would set out her
homemade sweets, bread and cinnamon buns for all to enjoy.
She was also a very determined woman; when she took on a project,
she gave it her all. This trait helped to give her brother-in-law Jack a
much better quality of life than he would otherwise have had.
He lived in a second house on our property, because he was too un-
well to be on his own, and Mom managed his very challenging dietary
needs for many years.
And now, her once-busy hands are still.
Rest easy, Mom; you have earned it.
Mourning her loss are: her son John (Gwen) and daughter Jean
Abbott (Pat); ve grandchildren: Anne (Neil) , Kim (Ed) , Katie,
Brandon (Lisa), Tennille (Brent); six great-grandchildren: Glen,
Brody, Rayven, Kayden, Kyeran and Arwyn; her brothers: Ed and Ken
Klassen; her sister Olga Godfrey; her aunt, Justina Doerksen, as well
as many nieces and nephews, and many friends. Predeceased by her
sister Helen Doerksen, and by three brothers: Hank, Tony and Les.
Special thanks to the Palliative Care team who came to our home,
and also to the nurses, volunteers and all other staff of McKenney
Creek hospice; Mom had the best of care during her 8 weeks stay.
No service by request; a private family celebration of her life will
take place later in the summer.
In lieu of owers, please consider a donation to Canadian Cancer
Society, or to McKenney Creek Hospice, in her memory.

7 OBITUARIES
GREEN
Douglas
Born: July 2, 1929 in Montreal,
Quebec
Died: June 24, 2011 in
Vancouver, BC
It is with great sadness that
the family of Doug Green
announces his passing on
Friday, June 24, 2011 at
Vancouver General Hospital
surrounded by his loving
family.
Dad was an amazing father,
grandfather and great-grand-
father who was dearly loved
and respected by all who had
the honour of knowing him.
During his younger years, Dad
had a very hard life working as
an underground miner in
Northern Ontario and later at
Brittania Beach where he
worked until its shut down.
From this time forward until his
retirement almost 20 years
ago, he worked with BC Hydro
and eventually BC Transit.
In early 1961 Dad moved to
BC with the three of us Evelyn,
Valerie and Robert and set
up home as a single father.
He was a dad who provided
strength, guidance, and
unconditional love, stressing
the importance of right and
wrong and an independent
mind, always putting us
rst. Dad is survived by his
daughters Evelyn (Frank)
Crowhurst, Val (Don) Huber
and son Bob (Cathy) Green,
his grandchildren Becky,
David (Andrea), Nicole, Megan
(Matt), Jason, Kimberley and
Jeffery. He was extremely
proud when he became a
great grandfather to Emilee,
Caiden and Jenna and was so
looking forward to the arrival of
his fourth great grandchild in
just four weeks.
Dad was a small man
in stature with the
largest heart ever!
We will miss you Dad!
If you wish to celebrate Dads
wonderful life with his family
and friends, please join us
on Saturday, July 2nd at
1:00 pm at the MAPLE
