So how does an HST of 10 per cent in three years sound?

Is it enough to persuade you to vote no in next month’s mail-in referendum that asks whether the harmonized sales tax should be “extinguished?”

HST hater Corisa Bell doesn’t

think so.“Obviously, this is just buying

votes. They say that, then they’ll just raise it,” and she doesn’t be-lieve people will change their opinion on the tax.

Bell organized the Done with Dalton recall campaign this spring that collected about 2,500 names in an effort to force MLA Marc Dalton to run in a byelection in Maple Ridge-Mission.

She pointed out the tax is still being levied on items that weren’t previously taxed under the provin-cial sales tax system such as chi-

ropractic and physiotherapy treatments , a d u l t - s i z e d kids clothing, sports lessons and team reg-istration fees.

The growth of an un-d e r g r o u n d economy, that she says de-veloped in Eu-rope, is also a concern.

Dalton, though, says it’s up to

British Columbians to decide if they like the new numbers and decide to support the HST.

“I think it’s positive, I really do.”Dalton said during telephone

town hall meetings this spring, in-volving more than 275,000 people and which drew feedback from 5,000, that the No. 1 comment on how to improve the tax was to re-duce its rate. The HST currently stands at 12 per cent, refl ecting a fi ve-per-cent federal goods and service tax and a seven-per-cent provincial sales tax.

Cut would come in two phases, after referendum

Target coming to Haney Place

Haney Place Mall in downtown Maple Ridge is on Target’s list of 105 locations that will be renovated.

Target Corp. of Minneapolis, Minn., bought 220 Zellers stores from The Bay earlier this year, but didn’t say which ones it wanted to keep or sell.

Those plans became more pre-cise Thursday after Target Canada president Tony Fisher released the company’s plans for the first group of stores, 15 of which are in B.C., including the one at the west end of Haney Place Mall.

For now, Zellers will keep operat-ing as Zellers.

But once renovation plans are ready, most stores will close for six to nine months.

On average, each store will re-quire about $10 million in renova-tions.

Narland spokesman Chris Sherry expects renovations to take place sometime in 2013 and that expan-sion of the Zellers footprint will also be explored.

The mall and Target have worked out a 20-year lease agreement, plus options.

“At the end of the day, we’ll have a brand new Target. We’ll have opened the Thrifty’s on the other end,” Sherry said.

That will allow Narland to then focus on the smaller retail spaces and improving the mall overall. Target will be beneficial to the en-tire centre, Sherry said.

“We’ve been saying for years you can’t force development. We re-quired something like this to trig-ger the direction of the shopping centre and I think we have that now and we can finalize our reno-vation and development plans.”

While Fisheries and Oceans Canada is call-ing the aboriginal food fi shery “out of control” with most of the Fraser River salmon sold on the black market, it’s a different story at the Katzie First Nation in Pitt Meadows.

“I can only speak to Katzie on this. When we’re out there food fi sh-ing, we’re actually food fi shing,” Katzie Chief Jay Bailey said Thursday.

That means the fi sh caught for food or cere-monial purposes is either frozen, canned or smoked for use on the reserve.

“I don’t sell fi sh under the table like that. I’m sure that most of the members are on the same wavelength. We really don’t depend on fi shing anymore for income.

“We can’t sell it. If we’re out there for food or ceremonial, we can’t sell it. It’s illegal.”

The 2006 Fisheries assessment was tabled as evidence recently at the Cohen Commis-sion into the decline of Fraser sockeye.

Bailey added that if fi shing conditions are good, then Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Katzie will make an agreement to allow the band to sell some of that catch, providing the numbers warrant that. If that’s the case, Bailey says he’ll fi sh as much as he can.

That was the case last summer. “All of a sud-den, we’re fl ooded with fi sh and they let us sell the fi sh.”

But in most recent years, food fi sheries only took place within limited time periods. Under those conditions, Bailey only takes what he needs for personal or family purposes. Allo-cations for the food and ceremonial fi shery changes every year.

He adds that most of the band has someone in the family who fi shes who can supply fam-ily members.

“It’s not the main income anymore for fami-lies. They have had to look for other things to do. We’re a little lucky here because were kind of urbanized when it comes to employ-ment.”

Fisheries and Oceans Canada also hires monitors to check the boats as they come in with fi sh, he pointed out. He estimates there are between 20 and 30 boats on the reserve.

“So they keep a pretty strict eye on us, which I understand.”

He wonders how the Fisheries department came up with the figure that 97 per cent of the Fraser salmon fishery goes to the black market.

“I guess all I can assure you is Katzie’s not like that. Can’t speak for other nations.”

Sports fi shing columnist Jeff Weltz also challenges the fi gure.

Most aboriginal fi shermen he knows follow

the rules and hasn’t heard of band members going without fi sh.

“I’m not really interested in getting behind the DFO and backing them on anything be-cause they’re pro fi sh farms and this (along with urban development near streams) is probably the biggest threat to fi sheries more than anything.

“DFO refuses to recognize this.”He pointed out that the large runs of pink

and sockeye salmon coincided with previous periods when fi sh farms up the coast were re-quired to go fallow, meaning wild stocks got a break from the sea lice. He’s caught fi sh with sea lice in the Stave River.

Mission resident Bob McKamey, with the B.C. Fisheries Survival Coalition, hopes the Cohen Commission of Inquiry into the Decline of the Sockeye Salmon in the Fraser River will see improvements into the way the salmon fi shery is managed.

He said the fact that the revelation came from Fisheries in 2005 raises the question – why the department didn’t change its prac-tices after that.

“I don’t think they can defend or manage that in the same way as before.”

Hopefully the commission will come up with a better way of managing the fi sheries. “This clearly isn’t the way to run it.”

McKamey added that he supports a food fi shery, providing it’s for those purposes, and says the million fi sh now allocated for those is way above the 250,000 previously allotted for aboriginal food-ceremonial fi shing.

But Bailey says you could make the same ar-gument for cutting the sports fi shery.

He’d like to see the Fraser River and the ocean salmon fi shery managed as one.

“It really doesn’t seem fair to me that other people get to fi sh outside the Fraser when we’re stuck here not fi shing.”

Katzie follows rules, fish only for food

TransLink is trying to solve the user puz-zle so it went straight to the source on the Victoria Day weekend – motorists on the bridge.

Lanes on the far right side in each direc-tion were closed off with traffi c cones, while people in bright, yellow vests with “slow” signs waved people over into the lanes.

Once they had stopped, motorists were asked why they were using the bridge and where they were going.

“We’re trying to get as good a handle as to why the Golden Ears Bridge is being used as possible,” spokesman Drew Snider ex-plained Tuesday.

About half a dozen questions were in the “origin-destination” survey and as of Sun-day, about 3,000 motorists had answered the questions.

That method was preferred over online

surveys or mail-in questionnaires, “largely because we fi nd that’s the best way to get the information, just by catching them as they’re doing it.”

He didn’t know exactly what questions were asked or the hours the poll was taken.

If motorists didn’t want to participate they were marked down as no, and “off they go.”

Snider heard at least one complaint from a motorist who was stuck in the lineup, even if they didn’t take the survey, while media reports also aired that concern.

He didn’t know if TransLink would try to do the questioning again.

TransLink is struggling to fi nd a way to in-crease use of the bridge so that toll revenues get closer to projections.

The survey took place on Thursday, Sat-urday, Sunday and Monday, on the second-to-last weekend of the variable toll project. It ends this month. As part of it, fares were discounted 30 per cent in the evenings after 7 p.m. and on weekends. Car tolls dropped from $2.80 to $1.95 for transponder-equipped vehicles.

Two questions drivers were asked were whether people were using the bridge be-fore the April 15 start of the discount toll

project and if the bridge had changed their travel habits.

Everyone who was stopped, whether they answered or not, was given a $2 Tim Hortons gift card.

“We really appreciate that because that’s go-ing to help everybody, really.”

TransLink is also try-ing to boost use of the bridge as the number of crossings falls below expectations. Average daily use is about 25,000 trips, whereas projec-tions from 2004 called for between 30,000 and 40,000 crossings every day.

TransLink’s budget calls for toll revenue to climb to $37.8 million from $30 million in 2010, the bridge’s fi rst full year of operations. But it will have to pay $71 million this year for debt servicing and contractor payments.

Spokesman Ken Hardie said previously that TransLink can absorb the $30-million-plus shortfall and that the variable tolling is one of the strategies expected to increase use

and prevent having to cut other programs to make the bridge payments.

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said peo-ple still be resisting tolled bridges and admits, “I thought it would be busier, sooner.”

But it’s the fi rst toll bridge in the Lower Mainland in 30 to 40 years. “I think in fi ve to 10 years, it’s going to be forgotten.”

Some people still drive around using either the Mission Bridge or Port Mann to save the $2.80 toll. “I guess there’s some resistance to tolls and if you go back to eastern Canada there’s lots of tolls.”

He questioned why the tolls were removed from the Coquihalla Highway said tolls should be considered on the Sea to Sky Highway. “Why not look at it?”

Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean has sim-ilar thoughts.

“Realistically, I think every bridge should be tolled.” Once the new Port Mann Bridge opens, which also will be tolled, then more motorists will use the Golden Ears Bridge, he added.

Rising gasoline prices and the opening of the new Port Mann Bridge, which will have tolls, in 2012 are also expected to increase use of the Golden Ears Bridge.

To build a road through farmland to draw traffi c off another, Pitt Mead-ows would have to pave over all the green space along an undeveloped commercial strip to its north.

That’s the verdict of consultants hired by the city to review the North Lougheed Corridor, which is proposed to run along the highway

from Harris Road to the Meadows Gardens Golf Course.

“That’s pretty much what we’ve concluded,” said David Bell, a senior associate of planning and retail consulting at Colliers International.

With a price tag of $10 million, excluding the cost of land acquisition, the proposed 3.6-kilome-tre North Lougheed Con-nector is a thoroughfare the city doesn’t have the cash to pay for.

Add on the costs of

building an interchange at Harris Road and Lougheed Highway and the bill spikes to $31 mil-lion.

Of the three options sketched out by consul-tants hired by the city for $40,000, the ones that set aside land for agri-culture won’t generate enough cash to cover the costs of building the road.

Even the third option, which proposes a mix of uses, including big stores, a hotel or confer-

ence centre, showrooms or a business park on the entire 50.9 hectares (125 acres) site, will struggle to meet the costs.

The AECOM study es-timates build-out for the entire site could take be-tween 10 or 12 years.

Bell, however, believes that the third option “can be made to work and achieve the infra-structure improvements that the city is after.”

The city still maintains the connector is being proposed as a way to take traffi c off Old Dew-dney Trunk Road.

But the road is essen-tial to service the com-mercial strip, west of Meadow Gardens Way as the province has re-fused to allow the city to create an access point along busy Lougheed Hwy.

Of the land being con-sidered for development, only 17.5 hectares (43 acres) is zoned high-way commercial. The remaining 32.5 hectares (80 acres) would have to be removed from the ag-ricultural land reserve.

Residents who at-tended an open house on the study overwhelm-ingly supported the fi rst option, option 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, sets aside 12 hectares (30 acres) for farming.

Coun. Deb Walter, who will be seeking the may-or’s seat this November, is leaning towards sup-porting development of the entire 50.9 hectares.

“The city has always been saying that this is our line in the sand,” said Walters.

“Quite frankly, I don’t

like it, but [the proposed road] is being driven by our farmers. We have to come up with a solu-tion.”

Coun Doug Bing, who will also vie for the may-or’s position this year, believes it makes sense to put development along Lougheed Highway.

“This is the last land that could be developed in Pitt Meadows,” said Bing.

“If we are thinking long-term, this needs to be developed and should be developed. It would have been nice if option B was viable because it would at least preserve some agricultural land, but I have no problem going with option C – if that’s the only way to pay for the road.”

The Agricultural Land Commission approved the proposed road last July, with a caveat that requires the city to get covenants for each of the properties that will be adjacent to it. Those covenants would require each property to remain farmland.

For Coun. Bruce Bell, who is fi rmly against punching the road through farmland, the consultants’ prelimi-nary fi ndings show the city’s push for the North Lougheed Connector is premature.

“In my view, it’s be-fore its time. The North Lougheed Connector doesn’t appear to be sus-tainable,” said Bell.

“Even the consultant said this is some of the best land in Pitt Meadows for farming. It’s a shame, it should be farmed.”

Council has yet to re-ceived the fi nal report from AECOM. It is ex-pected to be completed by mid-June.

Leaving green space won’t pay for new Pitt roadConsultants fi nd options that leave some land aside for agriculture won’t fund the North Lougheed Connector

He also says the shrimp fi shery should be put on hold, while the en-dangered eulachon are spawning because many are scooped up as by-catch by shrimp trawl-ers.

“It doesn’t make sense to me while they’re al-lowed to catch eulachon when we’re allocated 50 pounds to feed an en-tire community … and they’re catching tonnes and tonnes of these things in a day.”

The Fraser River eula-chon, a small, fat-rich fi sh prized by First Nations, have been designated an endangered species by the Committee on the

Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada, after a 98-per-cent decline in its numbers, the past de-cade.

Eulachon, also spelled oolichan, is dubbed sav-iour fi sh by some ab-originals who counted on it to bridge over gaps in the salmon catch, and candlefi sh by others be-cause they’re so oily they can be dried and burned like candles.

He also hoped that the Cohen Commission could improve fi sh man-agement on the Fraser River. “I think the stocks need any help they can get, otherwise my grand-sons and granddaughters won’t be able to fi sh.”

RED LIGHTThose of us that diagnose, maintain and repair

vehicles on a daily basis get together every now and again, usually at an industry trade or training show, and talk about strange customer experiences! These run the gambit from the scam artists to the screamer’s, but there is an alarming trend I’m starting to pick up on which is becoming more commonplace! As this new phenomenon has happened twice at our shop over the last couple of years I thought it deserved an article.

It seems that some vehicle owners are convinced it’s ok to drive a vehicle without checking the engine oil level. These confused souls believe a light will magically appear on their dashboard telling them to check or change the oil. After all, their vehicle is computer controlled, so the computer, not them, should know when to check the oil.

So how is it possible a person could own a vehicle and not have the foggiest idea about its basic operating instructions, like checking and changing engine oil? Well apparently in the Province of BC you don’t even have to speak English to get a driver’s licence, so why would you be expected to know anything about the death trap you may be driving. Is there someone else to blame for this increasing lack of basic common sense with regards to motor vehicle operation?

New vehicles are marketed as virtually maintenance-free by almost all manufacturers, which by the way is a blatant lie. There is no doubt that they are more effi cient in almost every aspect of design, compared to a 1984 model of the same type. They require less in the line of traditional repairs.

Let's take tune-ups for example: twenty fi ve years ago when your parents were your age, if they commuted to work, like you do, they would require one major and one minor tune-up per year and an oil & fi lter change every fi ve thousand kilometers. Now you can drive the same route and you’ll need a tuneup every two years and an oil & fi lter change every fi ve thousand kilometers. The reason is, most of the moving parts required in a tuneup have been eliminated by the onboard computer(s) and sparks plugs last much longer due to the better running engine.

There are other concerns that need to be addressed, with regards to vehicle maintenance, which goes unattended due in large part to the fragmented repair facility industry. By that I mean going to multiple locations for service & repairs to your vehicles. Due, once again, to clever marketing, as opposed to common sense, people run around all over town chasing what they consider the best price/service they can get. It amazes me to hear new customers’ who are surprised our shop performs brake, exhaust and diesel repairs, the mainstay of any auto repair shop, because they assumed that they had to go to a specialty shop for those services..

Give us a call, we have the answers, that’s my job.

A Maple Ridge man convicted two years ago for identity theft is back in jail on similar charges.

Daniel Timothy Rowe and a 35-year-old woman were arrested by police last Friday at 18333 Lougheed Highway, just before 11 a.m.

Police found blank cheques, stolen mail and various pieces of identification, fraudu-lent credit cards that had been produced, along with counterfeit currency inside the Pitt Meadows home.

The officers also seized laptop comput-ers, and printers.

“This is a very sig-nificant arrest,” said RCMP Supt. Dave Walsh. “Identity theft, and the related of-fences of producing counterfeit currency, and mail theft is a real problem in the Lower Mainland.”

Rowe is currently on probation and has been remanded in cus-tody until next week.

He was sentenced in Dec. 2008 to 14 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to 35 criminal charges in-cluding personation, fraud, using a forged document, possessing stolen property and using a stolen credit card.

At the time, Crown characterized the in-vestigation into Rowe as one of the “biggest identity theft cases in B.C.”

Rowe has been a chronic abuser of drugs, in particular, crystal methamphet-amine, for more than 25 years.

He used the fake credit cards and ID to purchase gas, hotel rooms, meals, conve-nience store items and rented tools.

Rowe was held in

custody over the long weekend and ap-peared in court Tues-day, when he was re-manded until his next court appearance, Thursday.

The woman was released after police completed the search. She is due in court on June 23.

Car-jackingRCMP are investi-

gating a car-jacking in Maple Ridge.

Police were called to the 12900-block of 232 Street just before 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. A female and male were forced out of their car by two male suspects, who drove off in it.

The couple were badly shaken, but not seriously injured.

The suspect who drove off is described as a non-white man, possibly native or south Asian, and is in his 20s. He was wear-ing a black hooded sweatshirt, and a black hat, and had some facial hair, look-

ing somewhat like a goatee. His partner is a white man in his 20s, with a large muscular build, and is quite tall. He has short brown hair, and was wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans.

RCMP are still look-ing for the car, which is a black 2000 Mazda Protégé four-door se-dan with B.C. licence plates 238 SGV.

• Anyone who has any information about this crime is asked to con-tact Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251. To remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or leave a tip online at www.bccrimestoppers.com. Crime Stoppers will pay a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

The company direct-ed the woman to keep a portion of the money and then buy supplies for upcoming work.

When the woman went to cash the mon-ey order, the bank quickly determined that it was fraudulent.

THE NEWS/opinion

Ralph Waldo Em-erson (Self-Reliance, 1841) says most of us don’t believe our own ideas are worth much.

“A man,” he says, “dismisses his own thought, simply, because it is his.”

Victoria and Carl are exceptions to this rule. Their backyard in the residential heart of Maple Ridge proves it.

“It’s big enough for a swimming pool,” says Victoria, “but, that’s not what we wanted.”

They didn’t want a lawn here either. We’re standing between raised garden boxes containing leeks, onions, peas, and other vegetables. There are rows of raspberry and blueberry bushes to our right, and a greenhouse behind us where seedlings are started. Victoria says the rising costs of food is behind all this, along with realizing that one’s backyard can be a place to let your imagination go free.

Carl prefers I omit their last name. He’s happy to chat with passers-by, but, “We don’t want to become an attraction,” he says, adjusting the fi lter of the pump in a fi sh pond.

“A week after he put that in,” says Victoria, “it was covered with mosquito larvae.”

Carl, who loves a challenge, had an

idea. “He bought a bag of feeder fi sh from a

nursery,” says Victoria.The fi sh ate the larvae until they were

noticed by herons. Victoria found a plastic one.

“Herons are territorial,” she says. “They won’t land if they see one al-ready.”

That left the raccoon that lived in a nearby tree. Carl searched the internet for advice. “Baffl ers,” he says, pointing to three glass balls the size of oranges. “They’re fi sh fl oats.”

“Raccoons are mesmerized by them,” he says. “They’d get frustrated and leave, hence the name, baffl ers.”

Victoria points to a water barrel at the side of the house. There are fi sh in it, too. The water is for the plants. “The raccoon can’t reach the fi sh, but it can drink. I guess there aren’t a lot of sources of fresh water.”

We examine another garden box – tar-ragon, basal, a few fl owers, and spinach.

“We had our fi rst eggs benedict with spinach yesterday,” Victoria announces. When the peas are ready, the grand kids will eat them, or passing youngsters Victoria offers them to.

“Some kids have never seen a garden,” she laments.

The berry bushes run up to an elevated cabana with patio chairs and tables. “You can freeze the fruit for smoothies,” Victoria explains. “I make pancake syrup from it, too.”

There’s a Thompson grape vine beside the house.

“I dry the grapes on a tray-dehydrator. They make excellent raisins,” Victoria tells me.

She also dries tomatoes, and zucchini for soups. I do this with apples and offer to trade in the fall. Bartering needs to come back along the Fraser.

The grape vine clings to the wooden trellis Carl made. It arches over an oak wine barrel with holes for strawberry plants. At the west end of the lot stands a compost – rabbit manure, kitchen scraps, straw – and six rabbit pens with signs introducing the long-eared occupants: Taco, Fajita, Salsa, Enchilada, Timbits, and Shortcake, names that delight visit-ing children.

“Rabbits are great for the compost.” Victoria grins. “And sometimes, we get a litter of Fajitas, or Salsas.”

There’s a story about Taco. “When he was born, he fell out of the nest,” Vic-toria begins. “His mother ignored him. He was cold. I automatically tucked him down my bra and forgot he was there, between my boobs ... until he started to move. It was the warmth, I guess. Taco thinks he’s a puppy now, very social, loves everyone. He’s the only one that’ll come when you call.”

The pond’s water pump is badly clogged. “I’m constantly cleaning it,” Carl complains, “since we added some sand to the pond.”

“He’ll fi nd an answer,” Victoria says. The comment reminds me of Emerson again. Self-reliance, he said, is the enemy of conformity.

Question of theweek:

Do you believe the Canucks will win

the Stanley Cup?

Yes: 80% – No: 20% (46 votes)

This week’s question: Will you vote to keep the HST with the

proposed changes?

@ Online poll: cast your vote at www.mapleridgenews.com, or e-mail your vote and comments to [email protected]

Premier Christy Clark has promised to reduce the HST by two percentage points – over the next three years – as well as offer rebates to seniors and families with children under 18.

Taxes would also increase two per cent for corpo-rations, while a planned tax cut for small business-es would be shelved to compensate for the revenue lost by the other moves.

The rebates alone would cost the province more than $200 million.

Those cheques, for $175 each, would be mailed out at the end of the year, not in advance of the upcoming referendum on the HST, in which reg-istered voters get to mail in their opinions on whether or not to keep the HST or go back to the GST-PST combo.

The rebate only comes if the HST survives.Getting rid of it could cost B.C. half a billion dol-

lars the fi rst year alone; the province would also have to repay the $1.6 billion federal transition fund.

Cutting the HST just one percentage point will reduce revenues by $850 million a year, which is why the rate reduction would occur in phases, to lessen the affect on the B.C. budget. It’s currently in a defi cit, even with unexpected revenue from the HST.

The HST was supposed to be revenue neutral and create more jobs. A recent study has shown it has done neither; it actually costs families $350 more a year.

The proposed “fi xes” to the HST are supposed to even things out, lessen the burden on average taxpayers. But if the Liberals were sincere, and not so concerned about getting re-elected, they would make the changes now.

Rather, they are being criticized for trying to buy votes – offering people their own money back to save the party’s own skin after rolling out the HST shortly after the last provincial election and with-out public consultation.

Such folly may be too much to overcome, but vot-ers must fi rst ask themselves, is the province bet-ter off with the HST, with the proposed changes and even without?

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: A little less toxic (News

Views, May 25).There’s nothing toxic

about the tools Canadians rely on to protect their per-sonal property from pest in-festations. They have been federally regulated and proven safe to use time and time again.

Unfortunately, a recent editorial portrayed common misconceptions about these products that should be ad-dressed.

When it comes to health and safety, readers should know that before any pesti-cide can be sold in Canada it must undergo a rigor-ous scientific review and risk assessment by Health

Canada. In addition to a compre-

hensive set of more than 200 tests, Health Canada also reviews all additional sci-entifi cally credible studies that exist.

Through this process, pesticides receive a greater breadth of scrutiny than any other regulated product and only those products that meet Health Canada’s strict health and safety standards are registered for sale and use.

Pesticides help control threats to human health (such as rats and mosqui-toes), they protect private and public properties from insect, weed and disease infestations, and they help

ensure that Canadians have a safe and affordable supply of food, thereby contribut-ing to healthier communi-ties and greater well-being and prosperity.

Furthermore, only a handful of provinces have instituted unscientifi c, arbi-trary bans, and the negative consequences are starting

to show, including illegal pesticide use, loss of green space, increased municipal maintenance costs, and ho-meowner frustration.

The fact of the matter is that a provincial ban of pes-ticide use in B.C. would pre-vent residents from using safe and effective tools, ap-proved by Health Canada, to protect their personal prop-erty from insect, weed and disease infestations.

Pesticides can be safely used and Canadians should feel comfortable if they choose to use them.

REPRESENTING THE PLANT SCIENCE INDUSTRY

An editing error was made in the letter “What was it, Les, God or the power of trail mix?” What Grant Baker wrote was that he agrees with pastor Les Warriner (Acts of Faith, May 20), that faith helped keep Rita Chretien alive. The News apologizes for the error.

We’re fed up with money-grubbing municipalities

Losing job was slap in face

EDITOR, THE NEWS:With the tax bill in for the

coming year, no surprise, another $400 per year – on top of the $400 last year.

Did we see a correspond-ing increase in our actual home values? Not accord-ing to the market.

As if to add insult to in-jury, at least in our little enclave of Falcon Ridge, off of Cottonwood, the mu-

nicipality appears to be on another revenue blitz this year –knocking on ev-eryone’s door, looking for secondary suites, under the thin and unsubstanti-ated guise of “we received a complaint that there are illegal suites.”

A complaint from who? Half the homes have

suites, and the municipal-ity is going to every home

looking. Some of these people re-

quire the suite to afford a house in this market and over-taxed reality.

What value have we re-ceived locally? A Band-Aid fi x to a disintegrating sec-tion of Cottonwood, between 114A and 116 avenues that fronts the old district dump site. Still no sidewalks or lights on essentially the

only route for anyone of this neighborhood to walk or bike into town.

I merely refl ect the frus-tration held by at least 80 tax-paying, law-abiding families that are just fed up with the money-grubbing municipalities trying to pry their way into our homes and wallets.

Pesticide tools proven safe time after time

Why try to fix unfixable human defects?Conservative Prime Minister

Stephen Harper has his major-ity and will now embark on a

$5-billion-plus plan to emulate the failure so evident in the U.S. — by building more prisons, creating stiffer sentences for a variety of offences, making parole eligibility tougher and march more benign criminals (read: those associated with marijuana use and sale) into Canada’s expanding penal system.

It’s a foolish plan that makes all Conservatives look silly. When con-servative-to-the-core Conrad Black pans Harper’s plan, you know it has its faults. And, to see how Harper and his circle ignored their govern-ment’s own statistics to push forward with this billion-dollar boondoggle, pick up a copy of Harperland: The Politics of Control, by Globe and Mail columnist Lawrence Martin.

However, while the folly of the pris-on-expansion plan should be evident to most rational-thinking people not consumed with living via the dogma of a political creed, there should be room – indefi nitely – in Canada’s prisons for the worst of the worst.

Take Jack Samuel Froese, for example.

The now-notorious serial rapist served his sentences and is now liv-ing with family in Kamloops.

The fact he raped women (empha-sis on the plural) and spent a scant few years behind bars is proof that, in this particular case, sentencing

was laughably lenient.

The Parole Board of Canada decision sheets relating to Froese are disturbing, revolting and maddening.

He is a remorse-less rapist who, in the words of the parole board, is “still likely to commit an offence causing death or serious bodily harm to another person.”

The details of his crimes, and his unbelievable callousness toward his victims, are sickening.

And, while serving time for rape in a community corrections centre, he was found with a list of names and phone numbers of women.

Yet, here he is, in our midst – and the fact he is free should stun even the most liberal person among us.

Froese is one of many lost causes, joining the ranks of serial rapist Paul Bernardo, serial child killer Clifford Olsen, mass child murderer Allan Schoenborn and many, many others.

Money and time and effort and brainpower is wasted on trying in vain to rehabilitate these rapists and killers.

Froese blames his crimes on drug and alcohol use. Schoenborn con-

vinced a judge he had a mental disor-der when, three years ago, he killed his three sweet young children.

It shouldn’t matter.To be blunt, factories will always

produce defective products. Among thousands of perfect creations, one or two will leave the assembly line not quite right. We toss these in the garbage.

Froese, Schoenborn et al. are the human equivalents and should be treated as such.

During the federal-election cam-paign, NDP Leader Jack Layton was spot on when he called for govern-ment to spend money on preventing crime from happening.

He’s right.If we spent millions on reaching

at-risk youth so they don’t become criminals, petty or otherwise, we wouldn’t need to spend billions hous-ing them a decade down the road.

Some of that money can surely come from the millions we now spend trying to fi x the Froeses and Schoen-borns of the system, through “pro-grams” and “therapy” behind bars.

And, with the remaining billions?How about one super-maximum

prison high in the Arctic, where the likes of Froese, Schoenborn, Bernar-do, Olsen and others can live out the rest of their lives?

Dangling carrotFrom: left lougheed, posted on www.mapleridgenews.com.Re: B.C. Liberals offer to cut HST rate (mapleridgenews.com).Christy Clark and Kevin Falcon were obviously not listening during any of the town hall meetings. What this whole plan does not address at all is the values that British Columbians want to see in their tax systems. Also, we do not believe the B.C. Liberals to follow through on these future promises based on their past behaviour.If they were serious, the rebates and reductions would happen right now. They would not be held out like a carrot before an election.Also, there would be something done about returning things to tax-free status that Canadian’s value: massage therapy, school supplies, baby supplies, etc.

Dry gradFrom: windyspirit, posted on www.mapleridgenews.com.Re: Underage binge drinking not a rite (Parenting, May 20).So why don’t you encourage students and schools in the district to apply for the thousands of dollars available for dry grad events. The school district has these funds available as donated for these events by the customers of the B.C. Liquor Stores chain.

Sometimes, there’s an event in life that releases our indi-viduality. I wonder if this was so for Victoria and Carl.

Victoria says they had good jobs with a big corporation. Then, without warning, the cutbacks came.

“Losing a job was a slap in the face. We were in our 50s. How were we going to survive without two incomes? We thought our life was gone.”

Before long, however, they were seeing their backyard as an opportunity to adjust and move forward. Garden ideas began to take shape.

Victoria says she and Carl accepted the challenges a garden posed, along with those presented by suddenly being out of work.

“Carl reinvented himself,” says Victoria. “He’s an electri-cian. He’s got all the life skills. He took a welding course. He’s busy.”

Victoria had raised a family, and worked hard for 22 years. After aptitude questionnaires that might have sent her back to another corporation, she decided she had other goals. “I wanted to stay home,” she says, “doing the things we prefer to do, instead of what we were told to.”

Emerson would approve. “A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which fl ashes across his mind from within,” he said.

Going down your own path is genius.

The Pitt Meadows Marauders football team will get to play under the lights for its Friday night games this season thanks to a compromise worked out between the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District and the City of Pitt Meadows.

The new $2.2 million all-weather fi eld fea-tures high-powered lights for night-time use and a synthetic playing surface, and was funded jointly through the City of Pitt Meadows, School Dis-trict No. 42, and the Pitt Meadows Soccer Club. As a result, a number of different sports groups are vying for time on the fi eld, and some are not happy with how the time has been divvied up.

Currently, Pitt Mead-ows secondary gets ex-clusive use of the fi eld from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.,

Monday to Friday, as well as four weekends a year for games and tournaments. The re-maining time is split among community sports groups, such as the Pitt Meadows Soc-cer Club, Ridge Mead-ows Rugby Club, and the Ridge Meadows Burrards Minor La-crosse Association’s fi eld lacrosse program.

Under the new agree-ment, the school would give up its rights to fi eld on weekends in exchange for six Friday night games. The school would also gain use of the fi eld for a two-week training camp prior to the start of school in September, while the school’s Grade 8 and ju-nior teams will be able to use the fi eld until 6 p.m. twice a week.

“This will allow us to showcase our senior team at a time when people can actually come to the game,” said Pitt Meadows second-ary athletics director Rich Goulet.

Falling enrollment in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School Dis-trict will likely take a decade to recover, school board trust-ees heard Wednesday night.

Current enrollment in the district sits at 14,522 students, down from 15,099 students in 2009/10.

That decline is ex-pected to continue un-til 2015 before it starts increasing again.

However, enroll-ment likely won’t hit 2010 levels again until 2020.

“There seems to be an intuitive feeling as you drive around town and you see a lot of development, that we’re growing in this district,” said Peter Bullock, the district’s

assistant secretary treasurer. “But that’s not the case.”

Bullock said demo-graphic predictions by the district and the Ministry of Education tell the same story, with the majority of the enrollment decline coming at the second-ary school level.

Bullock noted, how-ever, that predicting future enrollment is not an exact science.

“We still don’t know what the effect of the Golden Ears Bridge will be,” he said after the meeting.

“If property values remain low, and fami-lies from Surrey and Langley see [Maple Ridge and Pitt Mead-ows] as a desirable place to live ... maybe there will be a demo-graphic shift.

“It would be great if the data turned sooner than later, we would be thrilled.”

Since funding is tied to student enrollment, the declining number of students locally will also result in in-creased budget pres-sures, with the district

likely facing budget deficits of decreasing severity until 2015, at which point enroll-ment, and provincial funding, are likely to once again increase.

“Our international education program is quite successful and is critically important to offsetting the ef-fects of enrollment de-cline,” Bullock said.

The program is ex-pected to generate close to $1.7 million in net revenue for the dis-trict for the 2010/11.

Despite falling enrollment, many schools in the district are at or near capac-ity.

The district’s 2011 facilities utiliza-tion report, also pre-sented to trustees on Wednesday, shows the district’s elemen-tary school’s at 96 per cent capacity, while secondary schools are at 93 per cent.

Overcrowding is es-pecially a problem in and around the east Maple Ridge neigh-bourhood of Albion, where all four schools are over capacity,

according to the dis-trict’s data.

Samuel Robertson Technical Secondary School leads the way at 153 per cent of ca-pacity.

The school has 920 students despite being built for 600, and has 13 portables currently in use.

The three elemen-tary schools serving the area are all over capacity, as well, with Albion at 125 per cent, Alexander Robinson at 116 per cent, and Kanaka Creek at 104 per cent.

In a bid to get pro-vincial funding for an additional elementary school in the area, the district opted to use its existing portable classrooms instead of the new modular units offered by the provin-cial government for the implementation of full-day kindergarten.

The move saved the province close to $2.5 million, and secre-tary treasurer Wayne Jefferson said he is hopeful the provincial funding will be forth-coming as a result.

Enrollment drop to last a decade: SD42Schools won’t see 2010 enrollment levels again until 2020

Small businesses receive HST input credits. That means they don‛t end up paying taxes on the goods and services they buy to run their business.

B.C. has the lowest HST rate in Canada, making our province an attractive place to foreign investors and for existing business to expand.

HST‛s single tax system reduces costs for B.C. businesses. That helps strengthen the economy, create jobs, and makes us more competitive internationally.

HST‛s one tax system reduces the amount of time and money B.C. businesses spend on administrationby about $150 million per year.

Consumers have to pay the HST on the end product. But since businesses no longer pay embedded taxes during the manufacturing process, their savings can be passed onto the consumer.

When Wendy Swain’s phone rang last Au-gust, the Maple Ridge teacher says she felt like she had just won the lottery.

At the other end of the line was a televi-sion producer who informed her that she had been selected from more than 45,000 appli-cants to appear on the TVTropolis hit game show Wipeout Canada.

That meant an all ex-penses-paid trip to Ar-

gentina for one week, and the chance to win $50,000.

For Swain, the news couldn’t have come at a better time. It was just weeks since her 30th birthday, and she had recently been laid off as a school teacher in Mission.

Swain submitted a wacky audition reel via YouTube which fea-tured her rollerblad-ing down Granville Street in a super hero costume and jumping in the frigid waters of English Bay to prove her craziness to the

show’s producers. That earned her an

in-person audition with 899 others at the River Rock Casino in Richmond last year.

Swain fl ew down to Argentina in October to fi lm her episode, where she wore a shirt signed by her former students back home.

The notoriously dif-fi cult obstacle course sent Swain home with a few souvenirs.

“I was covered in bruises, but it was totally worth it,” she says.

Swain will be appear-

ing in this Sunday’s episode of Wipeout Canada, where she will be featured as one of the show’s “everyday heroes,” along with po-lice offi cers, fi refi ght-ers and members of the military.

“It was a great feel-ing to recognized for what I do as a teacher,” she says.

“It can be such a chal-lenging career.”

Local teacher wipes out for Canada

Wendy Swain will appear on the this Sun-day‘s episode, dedicated to ‘everyday he-roes,’ wearing a shirt signed by her former students.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon made the an-nouncement Wednesday as the government tries to make the tax more pal-atable before the vote.

The reduction will come in two stages, from seven to six per cent pro-vincially by July 2012, followed by another re-duction to fi ve per cent on July 1, 2014. With a fi ve-per-cent GST, the combined rate would be 10 per cent.

Dalton pointed out that the new plan will save the average family $120 a year, compared to what they paid under the PST, while the present HST costs an extra $350.

“With this reduction, every single family comes out a winner.”

To help pay for the cuts, the government would hike its corporate taxes from 10 to 12 per cent on Jan. 1, 2012. That coin-cides with a federal tax cut of the same amount, keeping the overall cor-porate rate unchanged.

“There was defi nitely a perception that the HST benefi ted the corpora-tions, but not as much the general public.

To help, the govern-ment’s also giving a one-

time transitional grant of $175 to families, per child under 18, as well as low income seniors in 2012.

The government want-ed to implement tax reductions in a fi scally prudent way as it works to balance its books, Dal-ton said.

While the HST is trimmed, the HST credit cheques the government issues to low-income people won’t change.

“I think it’s positive, I really do.” Dalton said of the 140 countries that use the HST system, no-body has gone back to the PST-style tax.

He said it would have

been administratively diffi cult to offer tax breaks or discounts on items such as bicycles.

The lower tax rate more than compensates for the HST’s broad ap-proach, he added.

He disagreed with Bell’s statement that the HST is now a federal tax. “That’s not true. That’s not true at all. We con-trol the tax rate.”

B.C. will have the low-est HST rate in the coun-try. Nova Scotia’s is 15 per cent.

“Obviously, we control the rates.”

Maple Ridge senior Renee Tyson, who com-

plained to Dalton about his initial decision to look at the names of those who signed the re-call petition, says the tax cut may do the trick. Dal-ton reversed his decision on the names.

“I really feel a lot of people will be quite sat-isfi ed with that and per-haps not vote at all in the referendum. I think a lot of people will be swayed by that.”

Opposition MLA Mi-chael Sather said the government and Premier Christy Clark are desper-ate.

The Liberals are prom-ising to balance the bud-get by 2013, before the second decrease, and Sather doubts the gov-ernment will even be

able to afford the second decrease and that the HST never will reach 10 per cent.

“The numbers are all over the map and Chris-ty Clark is as erratic as ever as I’ve ever seen since Bill Vander Zalm.”

The announcement may make the numbers a bit closer, but he doubts the HST referendum will pass. “They’re trying to get over the HST and then call a snap election. I don’t think people are going to buy it.”

Elections B.C. starts mailing out HST refer-endum ballots on June 13 to all registered vot-ers. Friday, July 22, 4:30 p.m. is the deadline for ballots.

The District of Maple Ridge and the B.C. SPCA are celebrating the grand opening of its $.37-million community animal centre today.

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin and SPCA CEO Craig Daniell will join other dignitaries to open the new “green” centre.

In addition to incorporating some of the most progressive animal welfare designs in North America, the new facility will be B.C.’s fi rst LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental De-sign) accredited animal shelter and has applied to become Cana-da’s fi rst gold-level LEED accred-ited animal centre.

The new shelter features two outdoor pens, and enclosed walk-ing trail, 12 double-occupancy “dog apartments,” four single-dog kennels, four large communal cat rooms, a cat isolation room, as well as a meeting room to host school and community groups.

The building also will serve as an education centre for the com-munity.

Daykin said Maple Ridge has

been working on a new shelter for the last quarter century.

“It’s another example of working together with these guys.”

The district and B.C. SPCA joint-ly own the facility.

The four-legged residents oc-cupied their apartments about a month ago and so far there have been no complaints from people in the suburbs nearby across from Jackson Road.

Coun. Craig Speirs doesn’t ex-pect there to be either because of the design of the building.

He said thanks to new man-agement, the volunteer base has expanded. Ensuring volunteers were happy helped infl uence the building design.

“This is probably the most sat-isfying project I participated in during my term as an elected of-fi cial.”

Re-elected MP Randy Kamp has been reap-pointed parliamentary secretary to the fish-eries minister, for the third term.

As a result, the Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission MP will be the main political contact on the West Coast for Fisheries and Oceans Canada, now run by New Brunswick MP Keith Ashfield.

As well, Kamp was named parliamentary secretary to Asia Pa-cific Gateway Minister Ed Fast, an Abbotsford MP.

“I am pleased to serve in this expanded role as I work with Minister Ashfield in Fisheries and Oceans and Minister Fast on the Asia Pacific Gate-way,” Kamp said in a news release. He ex-pects Ashfield to have a fresh approach as fisheries minister.

“We are all ready for a productive session of Parliament.”

“It’s an honour to be asked to also work with Minister Fast on the Asia Pacific Gate-way portfolio,” said Kamp.

“This is a new role for me and I look forward to the challenge.”

Kamp goes to Ottawa for new session of the House of Commons starting June 2, with a budget being intro-duced June 6.

“There are a number of issues that need to be addressed right away,” said Kamp.

“Obviously, the focus of the coming session will be on the economy and passing the bud-

get. I have confidence that Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty will stay the course with a prudent, low-tax plan for Cana-dian families.”

Sandra Gagnon isn’t optimistic the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry will answer questions about her lost sister.

When formal proceed-ings begin later this year, she’ll be staying away for the most part.

“I am moving on with my life,” says Gagnon, who reported her sister Janet Henry’s disappear-ance to police almost 14 years ago, on June 25, 1997.

“It has torn me down in the past and I don’t want it to happen again.”

One of 62 women miss-ing from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Henry’s face still re-mains on a “Missing Women” poster.

Although there has been no conclusive DNA evidence linking Henry to Robert Pickton’s Port Coquitlam pig farm, Gagnon has little doubt

about where her sister died.

“We haven’t got any an-swers, but the task force is almost certain that Ja-net ended up there. They know more than we do, but they don’t tell us ev-erything,” she says.

She still hopes that one day her family will fi nd out what happened to Henry.

“I hope one day we can fi nd answers so we can go back to Alert Bay and have a memorial service and erect a tombstone,” says Gagnon.

Last week, the prov-ince announced several

families of murdered and missing women will receive government funding to participate in the inquiry.

Gagnon wasn’t one of the 13 applicants who requested fi nancial as-sistance to participate in formal hearings.

The Missing Women Commission of Inquiry was appointed by the provincial government last year to research the conduct of police inves-tigations into women

reported missing from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside between Janu-ary 23, 1997 and Febru-ary 5, 2002.

It will also investigate missing women and sus-pected multiple murders throughout the prov-ince.

The commission fo-rums are expected to begin in northern B.C. in mid-June. The fi nal report will be submitted to the attorney general on or before Dec. 31.

Sister not holding out for answersSandra Gagnon won’t be attending missing women’s inquiry

Serving Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows since 1978


‘On the right track’No specifi c plans for the Maple

Ridge location were announced. However, the fi rst Target store in Canada is set to open in 2013. Each store will employ between 150 to 200 people and current Zellers em-ployees may have a good chance.

“Target will also engage with Zellers associates to make it easy

for them to apply for jobs at Tar-get,” said a company news re-lease.

“For them to actually put that to paper, is a great sign,” Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said of Target announcing the reno loca-tions.

“For me, it’s confi rmation that we are on the right track.”

When Daykin fi rst heard that Target was buying the Zellers

chain, he called a Target vice-president and sent a letter and a promotional package for Maple Ridge. Daykin said then that he’d point out that Maple Ridge is the fi fth-most attractive city in Canada in which to invest, according to the Real Estate Investment Network.

He also mentioned about the new streetscape, the money spent by on the central area, as well as the incentive plan that aims to attract

investors into the core area and the goal to increase the downtown population from 8,500 to more than 20,000.

He pointed out the downtown incentive plan also applies to reno-vations. Under that plan, renova-tions exceeding $20,000 could see building permit and development fees cut in half, as well as cuts in property taxes.

Target’s plans for Zellers co-

incide with Narland’s plans this summer for redoing the south fa-cade of the mall and parking lot, a $4.5-million project, including the purchase of two lots on 226th Street at Lougheed Highway.

Haney Place Mall’s east end re-vamp has also been secured, with Thrifty Foods’s plans to open a store next year in what’s now Haney Marketplace and Antique Mall.

Last week I suggested that teens do not have to binge drink at their prom or

graduation and that parents who knowingly support such activities may fi nd themselves in considerable legal hot water if something goes wrong.

This week I’m going to take a different tack.

There are young people who, for whatever reason, have a higher tendency to risky behaviours and who can often infl uence others to join them. In other words, any high and mighty proclamations we might make as parents, teachers or mentors will fall on some deaf ears. The best we can offer is a little education for young people, so please feel free to cut this article out, photocopy it and give it to every teen you know.

Listen, kids, alcohol is still the most common and dangerous drug available to young people. It is the single most important factor leading to teen deaths, primarily from car accidents, but not exclusively that.

Numerous deaths are attrib-uted to falls, drowning, suicides and poisoning, but alcohol is involved. It is the single most important factor leading to criminal activity.

Alcohol changes how you think; it changes how you act; it changes how your body re-sponds to normal functions that you don’t usually even think about.

In small doses, these changes are minor and very short-term. In larger doses, generally taken by someone who is a chronic alcoholic or someone who is binge drinking, the changes are

signifi cant and the con-sequences can certainly be long-term.

In an ideal world, you and your friends would realize that a great time can be had without alcohol, but you may fi nd yourself, or choose to put yourself in a situation where alcohol is involved.

Think about your own safety and the safety of your friends before you start drinking. Have a plan and make sure there is someone who is going to stay sober enough to follow it.

Here is a quick primer of things you should consider:

1) Never let a friend drive who has been drinking and never get into a car with someone who has been drinking. Take a cab or call an adult to pick you up. You might get grounded, but that’s way better than being dead, seriously injured or in jail for a long time because you caused serious harm to some-one else.

2) If you drink more than one drink (a beer, glass of wine/cooler, or mixed drink) in an hour, within 20 minutes your blood alcohol level will ap-proach intoxication levels.

If you drink more than fi ve drinks in less than two hours, you risk alcohol poisoning.

If you eat food and limit your-self to one drink an hour, you might get tipsy, but you likely

won’t risk poisoning.If you’re going to be stupid

(like break the law), at least be smart about it.

3) If a friend throws up, have him stop drinking. If he contin-ues to throw up or passes out, call for medical help. He may sleep it off, but he may also die from choking or respira-tory failure; don’t be the one to ignore the risk.

4) Someone needs to stay sober. If everyone is drunk, who will respond in an emergency? Allow some of your friends who really don’t want to drink to “be cool” and join the party without criticism. They may just save someone’s life.

5) If anything starts going sideways at a party – strangers show up, fi ghting breaks out, people become sexually aggres-sive – call an adult or call the police.

If alcohol is involved, you may not be able to “manage” the situation and someone could be seriously hurt or abused.

You may also be considered an accessory to a crime if you don’t stop something you know is wrong.

The most common statement made by young people when something gets out of control is, “I can’t believe this is happen-ing.”

Keep in mind, if you lose control of your thoughts and actions, things may happen that are unbelievable.

You are not invulnerable. Be smart; be careful; be a good

friend to others.

Black Press

An offer from Premier Christy Clark to turn some carbon tax rev-enue over to TransLink for transit expansion is being welcomed as a po-tential breakthrough in the long-running funding impasse.

In a statement, Clark said she’s ready to con-sider using the carbon tax to support regional initiatives such as public transit.

Such a move must

ensure only carbon tax revenue from the Lower Mainland goes to Trans-Link, she said, so north-ern B.C. residents don’t pay for SkyTrain exten-sions.

A share of carbon tax revenue had been pro-posed by the regional mayors council, which is trying to negotiate new TransLink revenue sources with the province to build the Evergreen Line and fi nance an ar-ray of other expansion projects, including rapid

transit extensions in Sur-rey and out to UBC.

“This is a very welcome sign,” said North Vancou-ver District Mayor Rich-ard Walton, who chairs the mayors council and met with provincial offi -cials May 18.

Premier Clark also said the province will proceed with scheduled increases in the carbon tax, which rises from the current 4.45 cents on gasoline to 5.56 cents on July 1 and hits 6.67 cents in mid-2012.

ParkLane Homes’ 130-acre River District is a labour of love for the developer, but it will certainly be making its mark in Vancouver.

In partnership with Polygon Homes, ParkLane is building what they hope will become an important waterfront community.

“Th is will become the heart of southeast Vancouver,” says ParkLane Chief Operating Offi cer Ben Taddei. “Th ere has been an outstanding and positive response so far.”

Taddei expects development at River District to continue for the next 15 to 20 years. By the end there will be about 7,000 residences integrated into the community, with a mix of townhomes, low- and mid-rise apartments and high-rise towers.

“Th is is a true neighbourhood, and a fantastic place to live,” Taddei says.

River District was originally the site of the Canadian White Pine Mill, and was known as the East Fraserlands. Th e development plan won an award for Best Neighbourhood and Masterplan Design in 2007 from the Canadian Institute of Planners, and has also been recognized by the Canadian Urban Institute, Smart Growth BC and the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects.

“We’ve been working for about eight years on this project,” Taddei says. “We’ve had some of the richest minds in the industry working (on it).”

Polygon is building the fi rst phase of the residential area, starting with an apartment building called New Water. It will feature one-, two- and

three-bedroom units that go on sale this weekend. Th ere are also plans to build a townhome complex across the street, which is expected to begin sales at the end of this year or early 2012.

ParkLane is acting as the community developer, Taddei says. They are responsible for working on the public areas and the amenities, but expect to do some residential building in the future.

Some of those amenities and public areas will be truly spectacular.

Th e heart of the community is the River District Centre, a 6,000 square-foot building that will house a 50-seat restaurant, Romer’s Burger Bar, and provide information about the surrounding area. Th e village centre will also include several places to shop, including a grocery store and pharmacy.

River District will include 25 acres of park space, and a one-kilometre

waterfront path. Th ere will be an elementary and a high school, four daycares, two aft er-school care facilities and a community centre.

River District will also include 1,300 units of social housing, Taddei says.

‘Heart of southeast Vancouver’

Solid month of home sales on MLS. Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reports good April.

Th e Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reports that Greater Vancouver saw a solid month of residential home sales on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in April.

Th e REBGV says that residential property sales of detached, attached and apartment properties in Greater Vancouver reached 3, 225 in April. Th is is an increase of 8.8 per cent over April 2009, but a decrease of 8.2 per cent from April 2010.

“While it continues to be a seller’s market in Greater Vancouver, last month’s activity brought greater balance between supply and demand in the overall marketplace,” REBGV president Rosario Setticasi says. “Th e year-over-year decline in April sales can be attributed to a less-active condominium market on our MLS, as there were more

detached and townhome sales this April compared to last year.”

Th e total number of residential property listings on the MLS increased 8.2 per cent in April compared to March.

Th e MLSLink Housing Price Index for all residential properties in Greater Vancouver increased fi ve per cent to $622,991 in April, from $593,419 in the same month last year.

In detached properties, sales on the MLS increased 2.3 per cent from April 2010, and 17.8 per cent from April 2009. Th e benchmark price for detached properties increased 7.4 per cent from April 2010, to $879,039.

Attached property sales in April totalled 622, a one per cent increase from April 2010. Th e average price of an attached unit increased 2.4 per cent to $514,670.

‘‘This is a true neighbourhood, and a fantastic

place to live,” says ParkLane Homes’ Chief Operating Offi cer Ben Taddei.


VICTORIA – There are 9.1 million B.C. CareCards in circula-tion, but only 4.5 mil-lion people live in B.C. That’s one reason why the province’s health care costs are so high.

Health Minister Mike de Jong is introducing a new “smart card” in an effort to cut down on unauthorized access to the health care sys-tem by residents of the United States and other jurisdictions who do not pay into the Medi-cal Services Plan.

De Jong introduced legislation last week to replace the plastic cards that B.C. started issuing in 1989. The new cards will include a picture and an elec-tronic chip, and drivers will have the option of including health care registration on their driver’s licence.

As with the driver’s licence, people will have to enrol and then renew the card every fi ve years to maintain medical coverage. De Jong said there will be no extra charge for the new card, whether it is separate or included

on a driver’s licence re-newal.

A program will be developed to go out to seniors’ homes and reach people who do not drive, he said. It is expected to take fi ve years to put the new system in place.

De Jong said the health ministry doesn’t have statistics on how much fraud there is, but other provinces have found that people are coming from other countries to take ad-vantage of the health care system.

NDP health critic Mike Farnworth said he wants to know how much the smart card program is going to cost, and how much it will really save. A sur-vey of 399 cards last year indicated that 94 per cent of patients claiming MSP coverage were legitimate resi-dents of B.C., he said.

MSP enrolment en-titles people to publicly paid hospital treat-ment, as well as sub-sidized coverage for ambulance service and prescription drugs. De Jong said no one will be refused care, but those without MSP coverage will be billed for ser-vices.

Carrierof the Week


Summertime in our gardens, whenev-er it comes, should

be the ultimate outdoor sensory retreat.

The wonderful long evenings on the deck or patio should be the antidote to the stress we all feel during our busy days.

The big question is, can our decks, patios and gardens meet the challenge?

Summer colour and how we blend analogous tones together is very important, but fragrance is perhaps the most important when it comes to creating that sensory refi ll.

Ironically, most of the colour with which we surround ourselves has little perfume.

It’s time to add the fragrance.As easy as it sounds, fi nding lasting

perfume is a more of a challenge than most of us think. Finding plants that will accommodate sun or shade, be compat-ible with other plants and continue to perfume all summer is possible, but we all need to think out of the ‘fl ower box’ just a little.

Heliotrope (Heliotropium arborescens) is one of the most universal of all summer blooming plants. However, not all helio-tropes are created equal. Some of the new varieties are far more compact, but have little perfume.

The very best is still the ‘nameless’ old fashioned variety that has that linger-ing scent of baby powder. It’s versatile enough to be used in hanging baskets, containers or in bed plantings. It will, as most heliotrope varieties, do well in shade or sun. If you need it to be more compact and well behaved, simply pinch it back a few times.

My second favourite variety is ‘Sachet’. It is a very dark foliaged variety with fragrant deep lavender-purple blooms. Its rich dark foliage provides wonderful contrast with pink, white or silver fl owers and with other foliage. It’s also a compact grower and well suited to containers and plantings.

‘Blue Marine’, another compact dark foliaged variety, produces fragrant deep blue fl owers about 10 centimetres across and grows only 25 cm (10 inches) tall and

wide. Like ‘Sachet’, it’s a rich deep con-trast plant to other colours.

White heliotrope provides slightly less perfume, but its white fl owers add a very different look to planters and ground beds. The blues will always be my favourite, but in the right situation, the old fashioned white varieties can provide quite a classy look.

When folks ask for a fl owering shrub that blooms all summer with a nice perfume, one plant leaps to mind – the Butterfl y Bush, or buddleia. Some species can be invasive, but there are now many new varieties that are sterile and do not pose this very important environmental concern.

A Proven Winner introduction, Buddleia x ‘Blue Chip’ from the ‘Lo & Behold’ series is the fi rst miniature (61-76 cm) sterile variety. Hardy to Zone 5, it requires little pruning or deadheading and blooms and reblooms all summer until frost. Its fragrant lavender-blue fl owers will add a nice perfume to our gardens and patios all summer and of course, attract both butterfl ies and hummingbirds. I love the fact it grows well in containers and is a wonderful complement to so many trail-

ing and upright annuals, perennials and vines.

‘Lo & Behold’ was the top buddleia at the RHS Wisley Gardens and won the gold medal at Plantarium in 2009.

An often overlooked fragrant plant is Spanish Broom (Spartium junceum). This tender Zone 7 plant needs a protected sunny dry spot, but will bloom with huge fragrant yellow pea-like fl owers from early summer through autumn. It has a wonderful perfume that seems to carry throughout our patios and gardens. Spartium does very well in containers or in the ground at the edge of patios. It has virtually no leaves, but its rush-like stems make interesting focal points. It’s a ‘must have’ plant.

Another under used plant for our patios is lavender. You need a hot sunny spot with very good drainage and a trained sense not to overwater. The fragrance of lavender is so nice to enjoy all year round, even to brush up against or simply rub your hands over the foliage. When they fl ower with the blue, lavender, pink or white fl owers, they put on quite a show.

Today, there are a number of laven-der varieties from which to choose. The

hardiest, of course, is the ‘angustifolia’, particularly ‘Munstead’ (Zone 5) with its very compact habit.

French Lavender, L. dentate candicans, has become very popular because of not only its fragrant foliage but also its wide range of new fl ower colours that persist well into the summer. The sweetest smell-ing fl owers are the English Spike Laven-der, L. latifolia. It’s hardy to Zone 5 and has very fragrant fl owers all summer.

My favourite lavender, however, is Spanish Lavender, L. stoechas. Its huge soft lavender to rich purple blooms are perfumed and so prolifi c they just keep coming all summer long and even into the fall with a little pruning. Most are tender (Zone 7), but the new introduction, called ‘Anouk’, will survive most winters with ease. Its fl owers are huge and tend to bounce around in the wind like huge purple bumblebees.

Rosemary is another summer patio and garden plant that is not used nearly enough in summer planters and gar-den beds. Like lavender, it needs a very sunny, well drained soil to keep looking great and growing well.

Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Tuscan Blue’ is a rigid upright with very aromatic foliage and clear blue flowers that per-sist into the summer. R.o. ‘Huntington Carpet’ is one of the best trailing variet-ies that looks great spilling over walls, baskets and containers. It doesn’t flower long, but its habit is very attractive. Rosemary is a Zone 8 plant. R.o. ‘Arp’ is reputed to be the hardiest (Zone 6), but I’ve had all these varieties summering outside our patio for eight years now in a protected, sunny, well drained location. It would be hard to inspire a summer garden without it.

If you do a little searching, you’ll discover many other plants that have a delightful summer perfume, like fragrant hostas, dwarf ‘Honey Baby’ honeysuckle, perfumed roses, clethra (Summersweet) and summer blooming Jasminum offi ci-nale and so many more wonderful garden jewels. Fragrance makes a huge differ-ence to the enjoyment and appreciation of our summer garden and to our senses. Please try to include even a little fra-grance in each bed or container.

SUN. 1-4 PM


Saturday was supposed to be Judgement Day,

according to 89-year-old Harold Camping and his followers, who reportedly spent a signifi cant sum of money in promoting this non-event.

It’s kind of sad and amusing at the same time because yet again some radical religious person has gone out on a limb and falsely reported the end of the world.

It doesn’t take a Bibli-cal scholar to read the Bible and discover that the next great religious event is the coming of Jesus Christ for his church. As to when that will happen, it’s impossible to predict. Jesus himself said, ‘No one knows the day or the hour, not the angels in heaven or even Christ himself; only the Father knows” (Matt. 24:36).

So, anyone who attempts to predict the timing of Christ’s return or Judgement Day or whatever, is a false prophet and not to be believed.

There is, however, a sort-of timeline that is observable from the book of Revelation.

By the way, the origi-nal Greek word for revelation is transliter-ated ‘apocalypse’ and that simply means: a revealing. I think that is insightful because there seems to be a signifi cant number of religious people who are doomsday proph-ets.

2 Peter 3:9 says that the Lord is patient not wanting anyone to per-ish, but for all to come to repentance. But Peter also says that followers of Jesus can hasten his return.

The timeline in refer-ence to recorded future Biblical prophecies reveals a number of no-table events that affect the nation of Israel and the whole world, for that matter. One major sequence of time fol-lowing Christ’s return for his church should put people at ease in reference to the so-called end of the world. It’s called the Millen-nium, and is a period of 1,000 years where Christ sets up his kingdom here on earth. My understanding of Scripture indicates that the great judge-ment doesn’t occur until after this period of time is over (Rev. 20:7-15). That means that Judgement Day is postponed, at least, in reference to our latest prognosticator.

The primary work of

Christ and the church in our day is not to scare people to hell, but to love them and meet their needs and reveal to them the God of John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he sent his one and only son, that whoever believes in him will not perish, but have eternal life.”

The unfortunate thing about doomsday

prophets is that those who make such predictions bring embar-rassment and shame to the name of Christ and those who genuinely follow him. Although, it is possible that it gets some people think-

ing about their eternal destiny, and that isn’t bad if they realize that Jesus is their only hope.

Les War-riner is pastor at Living Way

Foursquare Church.

The Ridge Meadows Royals midget AAA squad were bounced out of the Okanagan College May Long Week-end Baseball Tournament in Kelow-na after giving up three errors in the third inning of their semi-fi nal match-up with the Tri-City Indians. That al-lowed the Indians to score four runs, which proved to be the difference in the 5-2 loss.

The Royals went 3-2 at the tourna-ment. However, because all six teams qualify for the quarter fi nals, the Roy-als opted to start pitchers who hasn’t had a start all season in each of their fi rst three games.

Lucas Tillotson made his fi rst ap-pearance on the mound in three years against the Victoria Junior Eagles in the Royals fi rst game of the tourna-ment on Saturday. Tillotson pitched four innings en route to a 7-2 loss. At the plate, Eric Blower (3-3, one run) and Dylan MacDermid (2-3, two doubles and one RBI) both had solid games. Alex Miyahara took to the mound for the Royals in their second game, a 14-2 loss to the Richmond Chuckers. Kevin Bork (2-3) and Bran-don Sound (2-3, double and one run) both had good games at the plate.

On Sunday, the Royals went up against the Tri-City Indians in the fi -nal game of the round robin. MacDer-mid took the mound and in his fi rst start in three years with the Royals, threw a three-hit shutout, leading the Royals to a 1-0 win. The Royals’ bats were quiet, with the only run scored on a suicide squeeze by Blower to score Sound, while Miyahara had a pair of hits.

Maple Ridge’s Giordano Marconato and Shawn Muller are national champions after their Pacifi c Storm water polo team took home gold at Water Polo Canada’s U-16 Na-tional Club Championships in Surrey last weekend.

The Storm looked strong in the early going, registering a 20–3 win over Calgary Black, before beating Team Sas-katchewan 20–4 in their sec-ond game of the tournament.

That set up a match-up with the No. 1-ranked Dollard des Ormeaux, from Quebec. Af-ter a seesaw battle for much of the fi rst three quarters, the Storm were able to pull ahead and win 6-3 and advance to

the semi-fi nals.There the Storm faced Cal-

gary Gold, their fi nal hurdle before the gold medal fi nal. The Calgary team provided some tough competition, but it was the Storm who came out ahead, edging them 8-7.

The Storm faced Dollard des Ormeaux once again in the fi nal, and while the more than 200 spectators may have been hoping to witness an epic battle, it didn’t quite turn out that way. By the second quarter, Dollard des Ormeaux was struggling to swim with the Storm boys, and what had started as a tight check-ing game quickly became dominated by the Storm’s of-fence. Dollard des Ormeaux allowed the Storm numerous scoring opportunities, which they capitalized on, cruising

to a 9-4 victory and the gold medal.

Marconato managed to overcome his jetlag from hav-ing just returned from his club team in Italy and put on a de-fensive clinic against some of the best hole sets Canada has to offer over the course of the tournament. Marconato is at-tending a U-16 Team Canada Camp this week with hopes of making the Canadian nation-al program, before heading to Italy to conclude the U-15 Ital-ian Championships.

Muller, meanwhile, was re-warded with two game stars after only just recently com-ing back to the sport after retiring last summer. Mulller has been selected to Team BC and plans on playing with the provincial program this sum-mer.

The Maple Ridge secondary Ram-blers badminton team cleaned up at the Grade 8 Fraser Valley Championships, held at Brookswood secondary in Delta last Friday, winning gold overall with 74 points, as well as winning three of the five events.

In the girls’ singles event, Chantelle Stewart claimed the Fraser Valley championship, while Daisy Baptiste fin-ished fifth. Stewart also won the mixed doubles event with Clayton skipper at the district, Upper Fraser Valley, and Fraser Valley finals.

In girls’ doubles, Julia Stanley and Laura Escueta finished third, while Dai-sy Baptiste and Cathy Song were fifth.

In the boys’ singles competition, Skip-per finshed third, while Pavan Toor was fifth. Toor and partner Brian Choi com-bined to win the boys’ doubles event, while Adam Zubek-Nizol and Tim Cho were third.

2011 has been a banner year for the Ramblers badminton team, with junior Alison Lim and Shih-Yun Wang winning the Fraser Valley championships in the girls’ doubles event, as well as at the Up-per Fraser Valley and district finals.

Laura Tacon and Megan Kuo combined to take bronze at the senior Fraser Val-ley championships, after taking gold at the district and Upper Fraser Valley competitions.

Burrards take Adanac tourneyThe Ridge Meadows Burrards pee-

wee girls squad won gold at the Adan-ac Challenge Cup Tournament in Co-quitlam over the long weekend.

Led by team captains Megan Stewart and Paige Bell, the team went undefeat-ed with a perfect 5-0 record.

In the final, the Burrards beat host Co-quitlam 7-0 with solid team defence and great goaltending by Candace McDole. Sarah Ickert scored twice in the final to solidify the victory.

Now that summer is just around the corner, it is tempting for students to

stay up much later than usual and let normal sleep patterns get disrupted, and this can ex-act a physical and mental cost.

But “rest and recovery”, a catch phrase that is important for all athletes, means not only rest your muscles, but getting enough sleep.

One of the foundations of physical training is the concept of improving fi tness level by alternating work with recov-ery, which means that when you exercise, your body needs time to rest and build up before you exercise again. For exam-ple, if you do strength train-ing on Monday, you should rest on Tuesday before doing strength training for the same muscle group on Wednesday. If you don’t rest enough, your muscles will experience the phenomenon of overtraining, in which the muscle becomes in-creasingly fatigued and weaker over time. If this situation persists, you eventually end up getting so run down you may get sick, or injured.

The optimum time during which your body and your muscles can rest and recover is during sleep, especially during your deepest stages of sleep. The repair processes that occur during this time have the greatest potential for building muscle and improving performance. If you disrupt your sleep, you may hamper your ability to build up your fi tness level. You can catch-up

on some missed sleep by sleep-ing longer or taking naps, but that doesn’t help your perfor-mance on the days that you are short of sleep.

Participants in a Stanford University study published in 2008 maintained their normal sleep patterns for the fi rst two weeks of the study. Then they increased their sleep time to 10 hours per night for up to seven weeks and their performance was re-assessed.

After obtaining extra sleep, athletes reduced their swim sprint times by half a second over 15 meters, had quicker reaction times for starting and turning, as well as faster kick strokes for that distance.

Researchers have also found that cardiovascular fi tness can be decreased by as much as ten percent due to a lack of sleep. In addition to the real physical defi cits that may occur from lack of sleep, your perceived rate of exertion is also lowered, which means that you feel more tired than you normally would for a given workload.

Knowing that physical speed, power and endurance are adversely affected from lack of sleep illustrates the im-portance of sleep for athletes and young, growing bodies. But if reaction time is also hampered, then adults should also take note since important

tasks such as driving and job performance can also be af-fected.

There have also been a number of studies since 2009 that link lack of sleep with an impairment to re-duce body fat in obese individuals, which is another reason for many adults to reconsider their sleep schedule. So here are some hints for better quality sleep:

• get enough sleep each night (seven to eight hours for adults,

nine or more hours for teens and young adults) to maintain a low sleep debt;

• maintain a habitual sleep-wake schedule – go to bed and wake up at the same times each day;

• if needed, take brief naps to obtain additional sleep during the day, especially if drowsy.

And for athletes:• make sleep a part of your

regular training regimen;• extend nightly sleep for

several weeks to reduce your sleep debt before competition;

• do the best you can for your body, and just as you would feed it the best food you can, give it consistent quality sleep – you’ll notice the difference.

ALL PROCEEDS TO


Sports

The Royals matched up against the Nanaimo Junior Pirates in the tournament quarter final, coming away with a 5-3 win thanks to Nathan Kitamura’s complete game effort. Jordan Wolfe (3-4) paced the offence, which pounded out 10 hits in the

win. On Monday, the Royals once

again faced the Tri-City Indians in the semi-final with the win-ner moving on to face Richmond in the final. Keanen Buckley started for the Royals on the mound, but got no help from his defence as three errors in the

third inning led to four runs for the Indians.

The Royals bounced back upon their return to the Lower Mainland, however, with a 3-0 win over the Abbotsford-based Mid Valley Saints on Tuesday in what was their sixth game in four days.

Sound threw a three-hit shut-out, while Cole Ross led the of-fence, going 2-3 with a double and a run scored. The Royals now have a few days off before traveling to Richmond on Satur-day and hosting Vancouver on Sunday, their first home game after 14 on the road.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Lilas, much loved mother, grandmother, great- grandmother, and friend to so many. Mom passed away in hospice care at Maple Ridge, with Carol and Shimon at her side. Lilas is survived by her only child Carol Sigvaldason.She also leaves to mourn, her grandchildren, Shimon, Charlotte, and Ezra Karmel and great-granddaughter, Gaia Lilas Ho. Also her half brother Ron Reynolds and family, her step mother, Jean Reynolds, cousin Margaret Livie, and niece & nephew, Heather and Grant Robson. As well as family though, there are so many friends just as important to her who will fi nd her passing so diffi cult. Lilas was predeceased by her husband , Oliver Walling and her daughter’s father, and fi rst husband , Jonas Sigvaldason. Mom was born in Vancouver on June 24, 1925. Her mother was killed tragically when Lilas was fi ve, and she was ad-opted by her grandparents, May and Rupert King. She graduated from Commercial High School, and soon had work with the gov-ernment in the later years of the war. She married Jonas in 1950. By 1955, Carol was born, and Lilas left the marriage to pursue a life on her own her with her new baby. She was a court reporter in Burnaby, one of the last shorthand recorders in B.C.. She married Oliver Walling in 1965 and moved to Maple Ridge where Wally had work as warden of the Alouette River Unit and Twin Maples. She worked at MRSS for many years, until her retirement in 1984. She enjoyed the last twenty years of her life in her own apartment here in Maple Ridge. Lilas loved life and people, told wonderful stories, and always laughter was around her. She was diagnosed with ovar-ian cancer over fi ve years ago and given three months to live. She accepted it with good grace and went on a trip to Nova Scotia with Carol. Without treatment, she beat the disease, and had her heart not been so weak, she’d probably still be out with her friends , shop-ping and generally making everyone’s day happier. Such a vibrant, generous, good woman; who was as unique as her name. As I used to say to her everynight when I went to bed as a child; I love you a million, zillion, gillion mommy-for ever and ever and ever. All who knew and loved Lilas, are welcome to a Celebration of her life, to be held at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church 12145 Laity St Maple Ridge on June 2nd at 11:00 AM. Please send fl owers; she would love it. Expressions of sympathy can be made at www.gardenhill.ca
