Council requested that fund-ing for the Salvation Army’s emergency shelter be cut without waiting for a review of how social services are provided in Maple Ridge.

But time was of the essence, ac-cording to one councillor.

“Matters have basically over-taken us and we need to deal with them. It wouldn’t be good to sit around and wait for however long it takes to come to some solu-tions that way when some of the challenges are so pressing,” said Coun. Bob Masse.

“The community’s extremely upset because people are dying,” he said, citing the overdose death on Thursday at the Cliff Avenue homeless camp, near the Salva-tion Army.

A 42-year-old man from Surrey

died late that evening from a suspected fen-tanyl overdose.

“It’s pretty hard to take a whole bunch of time and do what you nor-mally do,” Masse said.

“It has been an extraor-dinary situation.”

In April, council ap-proved spending up to $75,000 to study how social services are delivered in Maple Ridge, with another goal of developing measuring tools

to ensure programs are helping people.

On Aug. 24, the city announced it was going to ask B.C. Housing to cut the $1 million a year it gives the Salvation Army to run the 25-bed emergency shelter.

A few days later, it an-nounced the opening of a temporary shelter in

the old Sleep Shop building on Lougheed Highway.

A second man died last week from a suspected drug overdose in Maple Ridge.

Fire, ambulance and police re-sponded to a call at the Salvation Army’s Caring Place Friday morning.

A 24-year-old man from the Koo-tenay area in eastern B.C. was found unconscious at about 7 a.m. in the shelter.

“They apparently worked on him for quite some time,” said Ridge Meadows RCMP civilian media spokesman Dan Herbranson.

The coroner is investigating the death and could conduct a toxicology report.

City crews were still clearing fallen trees and about a thousand B.C. Hydro customers in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows were still without power Monday after what the power company called the worst storm in a decade.

At its height, the storm had 500,000 Lower Mainland homes, businesses and other Hydro customers blacked out, starting on Saturday at approxi-mately noon.

“It was probably our busiest day ever,” said Maple Ridge deputy fire chief Howard Exner.

Firefighters dealt with 80 calls from 10:30 a.m. until 11 p.m. on Saturday, with 11 trucks on the road from all three halls.

Some of the calls were dramatic. A large cottonwood tree fell and hit a pickup being driven on 116th Avenue, and also fell on two other parked vehicles. All three of the cars appeared to be write-offs, he said, but the driver escaped serious injury.

“He wasn’t injured, but he was shaken up,” Exner said of the Maple Ridge man.

Hydro infrastructure was in dis-array, and firefighters responded to a transformer explosion and eight electrical pole fires.

There were also calls about 12 trees on buildings or houses, and numerous complaints about trees on power lines.

Maple Ridge director of opera-tions Russ Carmichael noted that city crews and emergency responders set up a unified command centre at Fire Hall No. 1, and they were running all

day on Saturday and Sunday.“We’ve been working 24-7 since Sat-

urday,” he said Monday morning.The wind was gusting to 63 km/h at

the Pitt Meadows airport on Saturday morning and afternoon.

While there have been stronger winds, Carmichael explained that ex-tremely dry weather loosened the soil. That, combined with the storm hit-ting while trees have not yet lost their leaves, created conditions where trees were blown down across the region.

There were 11 roads closed in Maple Ridge over the weekend, due to fallen

trees or downed power lines.Carmichael said the city had more

than 100 calls of trees coming down, and is still getting calls from residents worried that trees are leaning, or making creaking sounds. People were scared to be in their homes, worried about nearby trees, he said.

In his 13 years with the city, Car-michael said he has seen more vio-lent storms, but the damage over the weekend was remarkable.

“What was very unusual is the quantity of trees that came down, and the angst of residents over trees that

haven’t yet come down,” he said.The city hired two arborists to rap-

idly triage those trees, and the city and its contractors have been dealing with the most dangerous or urgent situ-ations in priority sequence. The city was still getting new calls on Monday.

In Pitt Meadows, city staff and fire-fighters responded to continuous calls beginning on Saturday morning.

“For us, it’s been non-stop activity,” said chief administrative officer Kim Grout, noting that most of the calls related to fallen trees and power lines having been taken down.

One harrying situation had a pro-pane leak at an abattoir on Ford Road, while power lines were down in the area. There was the potential for an explosion, but that didn’t happen.

There were also at least two Pitt Meadows homes damaged when trees fell on them.

“There are parts of the community still without power – since Saturday,” said Grout.

Businesses were shut down by the storm. Downtown Maple Ridge was mostly open for business on Sunday, but at the corner of 240th and Dewd-ney Trunk Road, the Save-on Foods store and the McDonalds were still closed on Monday, while the Star-bucks and Subway had just opened that morning, after being closed Sat-urday afternoon and Sunday.

Storm leaves thousands without power

B y J e f f N a g e lBlack Press

B.C. Hydro is defending its efforts to restore power after a freak summer wind storm cut electricity to 533,000 Lower Mainland homes Saturday and left many residents scrambling to deal with thawing freezer food as the outages dragged on to a second and third day.

About 110,000 homes were still without power Sunday night and that dropped to 32,000 by 4 p.m. Monday

– more than 50 hours after some of the outages began – drawing outrage online about spoiling food.

B.C. Hydro spokesperson Simi Heer said field managers have never seen a storm this challenging before.

“What made this storm so unique is that we had so many customers without power all on one day,” Heer said. “The last storm of this magnitude was in 2006. We had hundreds of thousands of customers without power then as well, but it was over a couple of days.”

The sheer number of downed branches and trees over lines made it more difficult to switch

the flow of power to reconnect homes, she added.

Unlike a winter storm, leafy deciduous trees acted like sails and became more susceptible to the surprise southerly winds, which came after stress from a prolonged summer drought.

Hydro called in staff on vaca-tion and brought in crews from Prince George, Smithers, Ter-race, Vernon, Kamloops and Vancouver Island to work 16-hour shifts to deal with downed trees and restore power.

“The damage was extensive and it was widespread from North Vancouver to Abbots-ford – it wasn’t just contained to one area,” Heer said. “So ex-

tensive repairs were required all across the South Coast.”

About 400 workers were in the field at any given time, she said, adding Hydro managers were “quite happy with the response.”

Winds gusted at times to 80 to 90 km/h Saturday, and unpow-ered traffic lights.

B.C. Hydro has a priority sys-tem for dispatching crews but it’s not one that favours any particular municipalities, Heer said.

Also down was BC Hydro’s website that provides details of each outage and estimates of when power is restored – an “unacceptable” failure Heer said would be investigated.

Tim Fitzgerald/THE NEWSA yard was taped off after a tree split in the 21300-block of 123 Avenue, a block south of Shady Lane in Maple Ridge.

B.C. Hydro defends response to ‘unique’ storm

Flood watchMaple Ridge director of operations Russ Carmichael said city crews are now expect-ing to deal with flooding. Rain started Monday and is forecast to continue through Friday, with 60 mm of precipitation anticipated. That’s how much rain Vancouver gets in an entire month of September, on average.With so many branches and leaves laying in the streets, he asks that residents ensure that the catch basin on their street is clear of debris, so water can drain unimpeded.“Please take the time to clean them off,” asked Carmichael. “We’re gearing up for flooding.”He said residents in low-lying areas, who have had their basements flood in the past, should prepare for that eventuality again in the coming days.

What skills and apti-tudes do our children need to prepare them to thrive in a future where a virtual world of infor-mation is available at their fingertips, through a device most everyone carries?

Big changes are com-ing to the school sys-tem, starting with back to school 2015 on Tues-day.

“Today’s students need the right skills to succeed in tomorrow’s world,” said the Edu-cation Ministry in an-nouncing curriculum changes that will be phased into the school system over the next three years.

Local people have been involved in shap-ing the new curriculum. Former school district superintendent Jan Unwin left the district in 2013 to take a posi-tion with the Education Ministry, and has been one of the leaders on the curriculum change, in the position of super-intendent of graduation and student services.

Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows trustee Ken Clarkson also served on curriculum committees. He is a former school board chairman and a retired teacher, and worked with a group looking at the fine arts

curriculum two sum-mers ago. As a direc-tor member of the B.C. School Trustees Asso-ciation, since January he has been on a com-mittee working on is-sues including provin-cial exams, assessment and university require-ments.

The latter is a key issue in curriculum change, he said, and the com-mittee was co-chaired by the deans of Simon Fraser University and the University of B.C.

“Evaluation drives the education system,” said Clarkson.

The Education Min-istry says in the new curriculum, students will learn the basics like reading, writing and arithmetic “in a way that connects them with collaboration, critical thinking and communi-cations skills they need to thrive in college, university and the work force.”

According to the min-istry, flexible learning is at the heart of the refined approach and it will help teachers tap into the passions and interests of individual students. Students can learn about core sub-jects while doing proj-ects related to their in-terests, such as music, hockey, or dinosaurs. There will be more hands-on learning op-portunities, so students

can see how classroom knowledge applies in real life situations.

Clarkson said post-secondary institutions in B.C. will not worry about grade point averages in the not- to o-dis-tant future.

“Rather than emphas iz ing grades, they will emphasize p o r t f o l i o s ,” said Clarkson.

He said the future will offer more student self-evaluation, with an onus on gradu-ates to show universi-ties in their portfolios what they have learned, and how they have per-formed in high school.

Clarkson said there has been resistance to moving away from let-ter grades at the second-ary level.

“Letter grades are easily interpreted, and they appear factual,” he agreed. “But the whole emphasis of the new curriculum is on in-dividualized learning. The system needs to serve the student, not the student serve the system.

“We need, for the fu-ture, kids who want to continue to learn. Peo-ple are going to need to be lifelong learners and adapt to change.”

The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows district has moved away from letter grades at the elemen-tary school, in favour of three-way confer-ences involving student, teacher and parents. Getting rid of letter

grades in high school was a long-term goal, a controversial issue, said Clarkson, but will be made easier by the

province-wide c u r r i c u l u m change.

“Look at your own child. I don’t want someone saying ‘you’re an A, B or C child.’ You have to find out the child’s passion, and

what they’re good at.”This year, the new

curriculum is optional for teachers in K-9, but next year it will be mandatory. The Grades 10-12 curriculum is still being developed, and will be optional next year, but mandatory in year three of the phase-in.

George Serra, presi-dent of the Maple Ridge Teachers’ Association, said the curriculum change is an area where the BCTF and the pro-vincial government have worked together. More than 100 teachers have had input over the past three years. But the teachers’ union is not happy with the govern-ment’s plan for transi-tion.

“The problem we have is the government is not going to fund an imple-mentation piece,” said Serra. “It’s going to be a rocky road implemen-tation-wise.

“They make whole-sale changes, but then fall short by not putting any resources into an implementation plan.”

Masse, who excused himself from the de-bate about the tempo-rary shelter because his chiropractic business is located nearby, said lots of background work has been done on the issue of homelessness.

There may not be ex-act numbers, but he doubts if anyone would dispute that people at the Salvation Army shelter or using the meal service or drop-in program are not pro-gressing.

The Salvation Army, however, says that 25 per cent of those who come into the shelter move on to other ad-diction treatment or housing.

Masse disputes such success, but doesn’t fault to shelter.

The Sally Ann, which operates 20 shelters around the province, has been dealt an im-possible task, he added, although he was as-tounded at the million dollars yearly the or-ganization receives to operate the emergency shelter.

“They tried to fill the void and they just haven’t handled it well,” he said.

Masse thinks a new emergency shelter model is needed.

Kelly Swift, general manager of parks and recreation services, said the city will pay $7,490 a month to lease the building from October until the end of March.

Maple Ridge also will pay for the upgrades to the building, although they won’t be extensive.

“This has to clear up a backlog,” of people who have been homeless for a long period of time.

“It’s going to be a very well-managed site,” she said.

The name of the shel-ter operator hasn’t been released yet because talks are still going on with B.C. Housing, which is paying the op-erating costs.

However, RainCity Housing is advertis-ing for an on-call re-lief support position to work at a temporary shelter run by the City of Maple Ridge.

The shifts would be evenings and overnight

and be eight hours long.The RainCity Hous-

ing policy is to accept couples, dogs, shopping carts and possessions.

“Our staff work with-in an anti-oppression framework that wel-comes people back in-side with dignity and a genuine curiosity about who they are.”

The shelter worker would be responsible for daily operations of the shelter, including cleaning of the shelter space, showers, wash-rooms and offices; laundry, food service, preparing bedding space and maintaining a safe and secure envi-ronment for staff and residents.

The city shelter will be laid out in a dormitory, bunk-house style land also have a common room and a portable kitchen to provide hot meals.

Unlike the Salvation Army’s Caring Place, people will be able to stay inside during the day and there will be storage space for per-sonal effects.

Gatherings’ won’t be allowed in the parking or along the highway and clients will exit and enter via the back door.

“It’s going to be su-pervised by two staff, 24 hours a day.

“The intention is not to have people loitering around the site.”

The shelter will be considered low barrier so that while drugs and booze aren’t allowed inside, but you don’t have to be dry to go in.

One of the goals at the centre is to let in everyone who wants either a home or treat-ment.

Swift said a shelter is often the first step rehabilitating people who’ve been on the street a long time used to sleeping indoors.

The temporary shel-ter also lines up with the Housing First pro-gram promoted by the federal governments, which focuses on pro-viding homes as the first step to rehab.

Rezoning wasn’t re-quired in order to open the shelter.

An open house is be-ing planned for closer to opening day.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett

spent much of last week in Alaska, trying to assure local fisher-men and environmen-talists that B.C.’s mine approval process is “basically the same” as Alaska’s.

Bennett visited an abandoned mine in northwest B.C. that continues to leak acid and metal pollution into the Taku River, vowing to supervise cleanup by a new operator. He noted that one of B.C.’s proposed new mines includes a 23-km pipe system to move ore out of the shared watershed for process-ing.

This is typical of the discourse between B.C. and our American cousins. Only our industry is questioned.

Meanwhile in Colorado, the latest mine spill disaster was blamed on a mistake by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. And in Alaska, as in the rest of the U.S., new metal mines, such as the giant Pebble project, depend on the same engineering and testing as ours.

Here in Victoria, the Fantasy Island dialogue about oil continued, with Green Party leader Elizabeth May calling a news conference to announce she is (brace yourself) opposed to pipelines and tank-ers on the B.C. coast. She stood at Clover Point, where daily Alaska crude tankers sail past, many on their way to vast refin-

ery complexes just out of sight at Ana-cortes and Cherry Point in Washington. A good portion of B.C.’s gasoline comes from there.

Without a drunk-captain incident since 1989, these tankers load up at the termi-nus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. Let’s take a closer look.

For 47 years, the pipeline has pumped huge volumes of oil across Alaska from the charming northern outpost of Dead-horse to Valdez in the south, just east of Anchorage, where cruise ships dock.

In his new book, Rust: The Longest War, science writer Jonathan Waldman calls it “the biggest, baddest oil pipeline in the world.

“From Prudhoe Bay to Prince Wil-liam Sound, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System stretches 800 miles, which leaves engineer Bhaskar Neogi accountable for one of the heaviest metal things in the Western Hemisphere, through which the vast majority of Alaska’s economy flows,” Waldman writes. “Daily, the four-foot steel tube spits out $50 million of oil.”

It was once the largest private infra-structure in the U.S. Today, it’s the most regulated pipeline in the world, with planes flying infrared sensors to detect leaks of warm oil and “line walkers” look-ing for soft spots in the permafrost.

And this isn’t low-fat, shade-grown oil for Seattle fuel-sippers. It struggles to flow, with a black asphalt bottom and thick wax that has to be scraped out of the pipeline by the ton with giant “pigs” that clean and monitor walls for corrosion.

The five Prudhoe Bay oilfields have been

declining in production for 20 years, to the point where the Trans-Alaska pipeline now carries about a quarter of its design capacity. It’s expected to run out around 2040. But for now, Valdez still loads more than a tanker a day.

Waldman writes that when North America’s largest oilfield was discovered in 1968, companies first considered extending the Alaska Railroad up to Deadhorse. But they would have needed 63 trains a day of 100 cars each. Trucks, cargo planes and even nuclear-powered submarines running under the Arctic ice were briefly considered.

Since we had a bit of hand-wringing last week about a small earthquake near Fort Nelson that may or may not have been triggered by hydraulic fractur-ing, it’s worth noting that Trans-Alaska oil also causes noticeable tremors as it rushes down the Chugach Mountains to a sudden stop at Valdez.

But those are American earthquakes, so no story there.

Alaska sits in judgment of B.C.

Exploitation?Ingrid RiceGuest view

It was yet another example of senseless gun vio-lence.

A TV reporter and cameraman were shot to death during a live television interview last week by a gunman who recorded himself carrying out the killings and posted the video on social media after fleeing the scene.

The suspect was himself a journalist, fired by the station earlier this year. He died hours later of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The aftermath of the incident took a unexpected turn, when much of the focus around the hideous tragedy centered on the New York Daily News.

The newspaper published, via social media, a preview of its cover shot for the next day’s issue.

It featured still images from the shooter’s own social media video of the murders, including one of the moment reporter Alison Parker was shot.

The reaction was immediate and scathing.Condemnation for the cover was widespread.The next day, a spokesperson for the Daily News

told the New York Observer that the paper was trying “to convey the true scale of what happened in Roanoke ... at a time when it is so easy for the public to become inured to such senseless vio-lence.”

As repulsive as people found the images – and the decision to run them – it still makes for an interesting debate.

Do the images have legitimate news value? Does an overly competitive industry alter eth-

ics?TV coverage of the shooting featured the re-

porter scrambling as gunfire erupted. Others didn’t show the pictures, but played the

chilling audio.Our world is a violent place. It’s not difficult to

go online and find video of shootings or even be-headings.

But there remains a different between the Inter-net and ‘traditional’ media.

When it appears on TV or on the cover of a newspaper, you might not be able to avoid it.

“We feel passionately about strengthening gun control, imploring politicians to improve mental health services and highlighting the extraordi-nary scale of daily gun violence,” said a NYDN spokeswoman.

That is admirable, but is there not a way to start those discussions without exploitation?

Editor, The News:Re: City wants Sally Ann out (The

News, Aug. 26).The Salvation Army has been in Ma-

ple Ridge for a long time. It does much more than feed the

homeless population. Many seniors rely on the meal pro-

gram because its free. I know the mayor has mentioned

other services in town, such as the food bank and Meals on Wheels.

The food bank requires people to have identification and an address to get free food.

And Meals on Wheels is not free of charge.

Whereas the Sally Ann just feeds hungry people as they come in. For the Sally Ann, people are more than just a statistic.

The Salvation Army has been get-ting plenty of attention lately due to the apparent attack by the City of Maple Ridge. The city is using the Salvation Army as a scapegoat on the homelessness issue, which has been causing grief for years.

Now Mayor Nicole Read has prom-ised the taxpayers she will solve this age-old social issue by closing the only shelter in town.

Other cities have been dealing with homelessness for a long time, but they

did not attempt to run the Salvation Army out town to solve the issue.

This is just unacceptable behaviour and bad logic.

The Cliff Ave. issue was created by the city . When campers attempted to move elsewhere due to pressure from Cliff residents, they were moved back to Cliff Ave. by city staff members.

Why would the city want the home-less to camp illegally on Cliff Ave. if not to throw the Salvation Army un-der the bus?

If you have been following this sto-ry, you will know it was the mayor’s decision to move every homeless per-son and camp to Cliff Ave. Did the city consult with the residents of Cliff Ave. before moving everyone there?

The city also paid for portable toi-lets, cameras and security for the camp.

Now I hear the city is opening an-other shelter across the street to house 40 beds.

I cannot see how the new shelter will approach the issue any differently.

How will the city convince someone to sleep indoors if they are accus-tomed to sleeping outside?

We have this little thing called free-dom in Canada. No one can be forced into treatment or shelter against their will.

A better solution may be to permit overnight camping somewhere away from residential areas and monitor campers with police, fire and city bylaws to ensure everyone is safe. The City of Victoria has allowed the homeless to camp in parks since 2008.

The bylaw dates back to a 2008 B.C. Supreme Court decision that said it was unconstitutional for Victoria to restrict overnight sleeping in parks if homeless shelter beds are full.

While the causes are complex, the solutions to homelessness may be simple: Homelessness may not be only a housing problem, but it is al-ways a housing problem; housing is necessary, although sometimes not sufficient, to solve the problem of homelessness.

Policy changes are often criticized for punishing the poor instead of try-ing to solve the underlying problem.

The Salvation Army did not create the homeless problem in Maple Ridge.

Homelessness is a universal social issue.

And the Salvation Army was cer-tainly not the architect of the Cliff Ave. camp debacle.

You can thank Mayor Read and council for that mess.

Ken McGonigalMaple Ridge

Editor, The News:Re: City wants Sally Ann out (The News, Aug. 26).I guess the increasing population of our small town

attracts a bigger political agenda and bigger political strategies.

The issue of homelessness has been an issue in Maple Ridge for a long time, but it wasn’t until our new may-or came into power that everyone started losing their minds over the situation ...

Apparently, I, along with the community, have lost faith is the Salvation Army.

This is a classic political move called deflection. The Salvation Army provides beds and meals for those

in need. It’s our government’s job to find adequate homes for

each person. Our population is growing massively. Because of this,

we should be compensating, like building more mental facilities, and schools.

Yet, it’s our government that closed Riverview hospi-tal. It closed our elementary schools – Mount Crescent and Riverside.

The long-term affects of those kind of moves, I be-lieve, contribute to the current problem we are discuss-ing.

Apparently, it’s also our government’s job to deflect these problems onto charitable organizations, includ-ing one in our community that, and let’s not forget, also provides meals for struggling families and children.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve lost faith in our gov-ernment representation, not the Salvation Army.

However, fentanyl isn’t being considered as a suspected cause.

The overdose was the second in as many days. On Thursday, a man died in the Cliff Avenue homeless camp, by the Caring Place, on Lougheed at the Haney Bypass.

The Maple Ridge Fire Department and paramedics were dispatched to the camp be-hind the Salvation Army’s Caring Place to re-spond to two men who were found in a tent, just after 11 p.m.

“One them, they were able to revive and, unfortunately, the 42-year-old man didn’t re-spond and was deceased,” said Herbranson.

Residents of the camp said the deceased man hadn’t been staying there. Police said he was from Surrey.

B.C. coroner Barb McLintock said toxicol-ogy reports likely will be done on both of the deceased to determine a reasonable cause of death.

She said the overall number of overdose deaths in B.C. hasn’t climbed recently, but

the proportion of those caused by fentanyl has jumped.

Fentanyl is a powerful painkiller than can kill in minute amounts and which is being mixed with other street drugs. It can even be absorbed through skin contact.

The Maple Ridge area is currently going through a spike in the number of overdoses, McLintock said.

“It’s becoming far too prevalent,” Herbran-son added.

In the last month or so in Metro Vancou-ver, at least a dozen people have died of fen-tanyl overdoses.

Ridge Meadows RCMP arrested a 39-year-old Vancouver man as part of a six-month investigation into a dial-a-dope operation.

The suspect made several drug transac-tions before he was arrested Wednesday, when a large quantity of what police be-lieve to be heroin and crack cocaine were seized from his vehicle.

“This has been a long, extensive investi-gation involving a ‘dial-a-dope’ operation that was in business between Vancouver and our communities,” Cpl. Alanna Dun-

lop said. The arrest and seizure of the illegal drugs

resulted in a search warrant being grant-ed for a Vancouver residence where the suspect resides. The search of that home occurred early Thursday and resulted in more items pertaining to the illegal distri-bution of drugs being seized.

A total of 345 individual packages of her-oin and crack cocaine were seized along with a substantial amount of cash.

“This case demonstrates how drug traf-ficking and distribution crosses jurisdic-tions and result in very complex investiga-tions,” Dunlop added.

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows will keep try-ing to hammer out their differences in its parks and recreation mar-riage, but just in case, Maple Ridge is looking at the costs of a divorce.

Monday, council told staff to see how much it would cost to end the joint parks and leisure services agreement and what it would cost to just build and pay for its own parks, ice rinks and swimming pools.

In the meantime, it will keep trying to make the relationship work.

“I feel we’ve talked about what’s in this already,” Coun. Tyler Shymkiw said at Mon-day’s workshop meet-ing.

“I think we need to get the information back about what it costs to exit … so we can have an informed discussion about it.”

The two cities have combined recreation services in an attempt to trim costs, for the last 20 years, but a re-view last year said Pitt Meadows is saving a million dollars a year in the deal while it could be costing Maple Ridge $200,000.

“I’m still looking for marriage counsellors rather than a divorce

lawyers,” said Coun. Gordy Robson, who sympathized with some of Pitt Meadows’ issues.

According to the staff report, Pitt Meadows wants more say in what programs are offered in their city.

“A sense of dissatisfac-tion,” from Pitt Mead-ows has consistently been expressed since the partnership came into place, said the re-port.

Pitt Meadows Mayor John Becker said last week Pitt Meadows tax-payers may not want to pay the 20 per cent share of operating costs if, for example, a new swimming pool is built in east Maple Ridge.

The two cities split the operating costs for fa-cilities, 80/20, based on their relative popula-tions. But each city pays all of the capital cost for

any project within its boundaries.

Council heard it will take a few weeks to compile the costs of ending the agreement, but in the meantime, a meeting will also be arranged between Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge councils.

Shymkiw said later that Pitt Meadows should be consulted.

“We just want to have information so we can make an informed deci-sion.”

If both parties have goodwill, they should be able to solve the dif-ferences, “but I think this council has shown it’s not afraid to stand up for its taxpayers ei-ther.

“I think we need to ensure our taxpayers are getting an equitable deal.”

Coun. Bob Masse said

it can’t be assumed that Maple Ridge is paying $200,000 more than it would if it ran its own programs and it’s not certain that the city would save money if it ran its own recreation programs.

And in Langley, the township just sends its residents to City of Langley facilities, with-out compensation, he pointed out.

Coun. Corisa Bell added that recreation facilities may have to use postal codes to identify customers where they’re from and charge different rates.

Mayor Nicole Read, though, wants to talk directly to Pitt Mead-ows council and staff.

“My feeling on this is we shouldn’t be speak-ing to [the] other com-munity through the newspaper. I’m some-what offended that we got to this place.”

She added that both cities are at the point where a meeting is needed on several is-sues and she just want-ed to have the costs before going into the meetings. Council will write a letter to Pitt Meadows, she added.

Coun. Craig Speirs said Pitt Meadows should be kept in-formed about informa-tion as staff find out about costs.

Shymkiw, who used to serve on the parks and leisure services com-mission, called the cur-rent structure “prob-lematic”.

The composition of the board means Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadow councillors can be out-voted on issues, leaving the councils only able to decide recreation budgets but not the management of recre-ation.

A man was found dead in his truck, up-side down in a Pitt Meadows ditch on Tuesday morning.

Pitt Meadows fire-fighters answered a call at about 7 a.m. at Harris and McNeil roads.

Ridge Meadows RCMP say the vehicle was northbound on Harris Road turn-ing east on to McNeil Road, earlier that day or the night before.

“When we arrived, the vehicle was up-side down in the ditch, completely submerged, other than the wheels,” said chief Don Jolley.

Firefighters winched the vehicle up part way out of the ditch and found the man inside.

There were no wit-nesses and it’s not known when the truck went off the road.

Jolley said ditches along Harris Road are deep and wide and the vehicle was in at least a metre of water.

They tried to just flip the truck on to its side, but still couldn’t access the victim.

RCMP brought out the integrated collision reconstruction team out to the scene and were still there at mid-morning.

Tubers save man in middle of the river

A man in his 30s, found in the middle of the South Alouette River on Monday, is alive thanks to some tubers drifting down-stream.

The Maple Ridge fire department answered a call at 127th Avenue and 227th Street, near Horseman’s Park, at about 3:45 p.m.

“Apparently, he was sitting in the river and some tubers came down and, just as they reached him, he slumped down into the middle of the river,” assistant chief Mark Smitton said.

“We have no idea why he was in the wa-ter or where he came from.”

The tubers, in their 20s, then brought the man to the south bank, stabilized him and called 911.

“They did a real good job,” Smitton added.

Firefighters brought him up the bank and called paramedics. An air ambulance was brought in, but by that time the man had im-proved and was taken to Ridge Meadows Hospital.

Smitton said with the recent rain, and more expected, river levels are up and trees are rolling down, creating hazards for anyone in the river.

“A week ago, you couldn’t tube down the river.”

B y J e f f N a g e lBlack Press

The Insurance Corp. of B.C. is warning motorists they’ll soon pay more for basic auto insurance.

Because of a rate smoothing policy intro-duced by the province in 2013, this year’s rate hike must be between 3.7 and 6.7 per cent – within 1.5 per cent of last year’s 5.2 per cent increase on basic rates.

ICBC president and CEO Mark Blucher said the initial calculations suggest the maximum 6.7 per cent basic rate hike is required, but pledged to work with the govern-ment to find ways to re-duce that number by Oct. 30, when the formal rate application is to be filed with the B.C. Utilities Commission.

He said ICBC is grap-pling with “an unexpect-ed and rapid escalation in the number of injury claims being reported to us in recent months.”

ICBC’s bodily injury claim costs, which cover pain and suffering, future care and loss of wages, are forecast to hit $2.3 billion this year, up 64 per cent since 2008.

Higher legal and medi-cal costs, more represent-ed claims and more com-plex, catastrophic claims leading to bigger settle-ments are among the fac-tors blamed for the jump.

Injury claims are up 10 per cent from a year ago even though the number of crashes is unchanged. ICBC says more fraud is one potential explanation, as well as more minor soft

tissue injury claims.If regulators approve

the request, this will be the fourth straight year of basic insurance premium increases following hikes of 11.2 per cent in 2012 and 5.2 per cent in each of 2013 and 2014.

ICBC has simultane-ously reduced its option-al insurance rates – on which it competes against private insurers – in five of the last seven years.

ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said the net effect is the average customer has seen their overall auto insurance costs rise by less than 10

per cent since 2008.Grossman said this

year’s required increase would actually be “on the order of 12 per cent” were it not for the constraint of the rate smoothing policy.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said even the maximum 6.7 per cent this year is too much.

“We believe that’s not acceptable and the rate can and should be lower than that,” he said Mon-day.

Stone appointed fer-ries commissioner and former deputy minister Gord Macatee to help ICBC pare the hike.

Asked if the province might reduce the an-nual $160-million annual dividend it extracts from ICBC each year, Stone said those transfers are from ICBC’s excess capi-tal on its optional insur-ance business and do not affect basic rates.

He acknowledged an optional rate cut would help ease the pain for the majority of motorists who also buy their optional coverage from ICBC, but made no commitment to enable that.

ICBC may hike basic rate

Could be as much as 6.7%

B y To m F l e t c h e rBlack Press

Communities strug-gling to cope with ad-diction and mental ill-ness are near the head of the line for their annual meetings with Premier Christy Clark and the provincial cabinet.

A plea for integrated treatment services to take some of the load from police and hospital emer-gency rooms is among the main resolutions for the Union of B.C. Mu-nicipalities convention in Vancouver Sept. 21-25.

B.C. communities are dealing with camps of homeless drug addicts, property crime driven by addiction and violence between drug gangs. The B.C. health ministry re-cently announced a pro-gram to train and equip front-line hospital staff to deal with violent patients in emergency.

Sponsored by Delta, the resolution says local governments have made repeated requests for help “without seeing any improvements in servic-es or resources.” It calls

for integrated health and psychiatric care, criminal justice reform and access to affordable housing.

Maple Ridge has two resolutions dealing with housing. One calls for Ottawa to maintain rent subsidy funding for co-operative housing de-velopments, whose con-tracts are expiring over the next five years.

The other suggests fed-eral incentives for devel-opers to choose purpose-built rental housing, rather than condomini-

ums and other hous-ing for sale. Vancouver, where housing costs have spiralled beyond the means of many, wants the province to support rental housing and take action to reduce real es-tate speculation.

The Fraser Valley Re-gional District’s resolu-tion on shelter allow-ances and rent subsidies notes that average rent for a one-bedroom apart-ment in B.C. is $953, and the provincial shelter as-sistance rate for an em-

ployable single parent is $375, unchanged since 2007.

Other resolutions:• The Central Okana-

gan Regional District wants local government authority to lower high-way speed limits passing through rural communi-ties and neighbourhoods. Its resolution says Trans-portation Ministry’s de-cision to raise speed lim-its to 100 km/h on some highways last year is rais-ing safety concerns.

• Oak Bay is the latest community to seek fed-eral and provincial help to manage deer and oth-er wildlife populations, after grappling with its own deer kill effort.

• Port Moody is call-ing on B.C. Hydro to keep the Burrard Ther-mal gas-fired generating station operational as a backup source of power, rather than shut it down next year. The resolution says standby operation would cost $20 million a year, compared to $55 million paid to keep a smaller gas-fired plant on standby near Camp-bell River.

Addiction tops urban wish

THE NEWS/filesAbout 60 used needles and many more empty packages and protective caps were found dumped behind a com-mercial building in Maple Ridge, where a shelter and nearby homeless camp have dominated public safety concerns.

They were surrendered due to their owner not having enough time for them. They are not yet litter-trained but are getting better daily, and there should be great improvement once they are spayed on July 3.

The Maple Ridge Museum will take part in Culture Days at the end of the month.

Culture Days is devoted to provid-ing Canadians with opportunities to participate in, and appreciate, all forms of arts and culture.

Visitors coming to the Maple Ridge Museum on Sept. 27, from 1-4 p.m. will have free admission for a tour of the museum, in addition to an “artifact accessioning lesson,” in which staff will illustrate the process of accessioning, giving access to various touchable arti-facts during the demonstration.

One of the biggest parts of accession-ing an artifact is the personal narrative to go along with certain objects and photographs. Often this is the deter-mining factor to whether or not an object is taken in.

A shared identity through the object not only helps to unite links to the com-munity as a whole, but specifically to the individual people.

Uncovering the history of the items the museum takes into its collections helps to question its place for both the viewer and object, whether the viewer’s

heritage is related to the object or not. On display will be notable artifacts

and photographs from the museum col-lection, as well as the teaching collection showcasing the range of objects taken in, and the different purpose for items.

On the lower level of the museum, the Dewdney Alouette Railway Society will be hosting an open house with model train building for children and a back-stage pass to their world class railway diorama.

The diorama, centred on Port Haney in 1926, is a labour of love that has spanned over 25 years, which club members continue to work on weekly, and is aided with historical photographs from the museum collection.

The members of the club own all materials on the lower level of the mu-seum, including non-diorama interac-tive displays. There is not only a focus on trains, but buildings, scenery and backdrops.

The diorama displays the CPR along the Fraser River from Hammond to Ruskin and the recent addition of sound brings back memories of the old steam locomotives.

Culture Days is an incredible op-portunity to discover more about your community.

Sales began this week for a new season of plays, concerts and performances at the Arts

Centre Theatre in Maple Ridge.This year’s lineup includes 28

performances by 25 artists or companies, plus eight films at the downtown theatre.

“We’re building on programs that are already resonating with peo-ple,” said Lindy Sisson, executive and artistic director for the ACT. “The idea is that there’s something for everyone.”

The first performance in the ACT season begins Oct. 2 with three-time Juno Award winner Alpha Yaya Diallo – West African Summit. There will also be a pre-show performance in the lobby by Coastal Sound’s Children’s Choir. The music incorporates the sounds and spirit of Senegal, Mali and Guinea.

Oct. 18 brings an acrobatic group out of Quebec. Attrape Moi, by Montreal’s Flip FabriQue, “takes athleticism and astonishing circus acts to new heights in literally a high-flying spectacle with aerial hoop, aerial straps, banquina, jug-gling and a trampowall you have to see to believe,” according to promoters.

“We’re starting the year really strongly,” Sisson said.

On B.C. Family Day, Feb. 8, Motus O dance company performs Alice in Wonderland, an adapta-tion of Lewis Carroll’s whimsical stories Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, that takes audiences off on an adven-ture in innovative dance.

The popular Arts Club On Tour series returns, and on Jan. 23 brings an additional theatre presentation of SEEDS, a compel-ling drama of the four-year legal battle with the biotech corporation Monsanto.

Daytime Classical Coffee Concerts with Sarah Hagen and special guests are on Oct. 21, Nov. 18, March 2, and on April 6, for the first time, six hands play one piano in a dynamic and energetic performance featuring piano duo Elizabeth Bergmann and Marcel Bergmann.

GEMS, the Golden Ears Movie Series, has been expanded with a new addition on Sunday, Nov. 8 of a sing-a-long to A Sound of Music, celebrating 50 years of one of the world’s most beloved films. Audi-ence members are invited to come in fancy dress and sing their hearts out to the classic Julie Andrews musical with subtitles.

In its second year, the three-day Alt Fest offers theatre-goers an opportunity to satisfy their hunger for something new, beginning with two blockbuster fringe hits. Nov. 20 brings Til Death: The Six Wives of Henry VIII and No Tweed Too Tight: A Grant Canyon Mystery. Nov. 21 brings Chris Padgett’s one-man performance of Nashville Hurricane.

“For more adventurous theatre-goers,” is how Sisson describes Alt Fest.

Rounding out the festival on Nov. 22 is a night with jazz impre-sario Jeff Hamilton Trio, joined by tenor saxophonist, Vancouver Jazz Cellar’s Corey Weeds.

All three evenings begin with pre-show entertainment and the opportunity to support the Friends in Need Food Bank.

Nov. 28 will offer the iconic Canadian Brass. With an inter-national reputation as one of the most popular brass ensembles today, Canadian Brass has truly earned the distinction of the world’s most famous brass group.

On April 25, the ACT presents Kinnie Starr and Leela Gilday. Both women have toured interna-tionally, are Juno Award winners, and have earned an important place in the Aboriginal music scene.

Sisson said tickets for the ACT Presents performances are all $15 for youth tickets, which are for anyone 24-and under.

“We want young people to be able to come to the theatre,” she said. “The programming is meant to capture everyone’s attention.

A new non-profit group forming in Maple Ridge this September hopes to give children opportunities to explore theatre arts.

“We have grown from a desire to pro-vide children and teens in the Lower Mainland an opportunity to engage in theatre and the fine arts,” said founder Madelaine Beckett.

She said the decision to start Cast and Crew Theatre Arts Acacemy was prompted in part by the fact that 46 per cent of the respondents to a school board survey asked for the develop-ment of a fine arts academy.

The group was formed this sum-mer, by program coordinators Heather Beckett and Shelley Boe, who are long-time theatre moms. They bring their combined experiences of costuming, set dressing and theatre administra-tion, having worked on a total of over 30 theatrical productions with local community groups, including Xtreme Theatre, Emerald Pig, SPECCtacular Productions, Theatre in the Country, and Maple Ridge Christian School dra-ma department.

Their belief in the value of enabling youth to confidently step into any role in theatre production has influenced

how classes are structured. All students are given time working in each area of theatre, on stage and behind the scenes.

Through the year, students will re-ceive training in vocal, dance and acting as they prepare a full musical production while developing general techniques to build strong foundation-al skills, said Beckett.

Experienced teachers will also lead students in discovering the produc-tion side of theatre. Students will have opportunity to learn about and help to create costumes, props, sets, apply hair and makeup, and perform technical jobs such as sound and lights.

With Cast and Crew, students will be challenged to produce theatre pieces from start to finish, said Beckett.

Riley Dougan, an alumni of Xtreme Theatre and student at Dance Barn Studios, is excited to join the Cast and Crew Theatre Arts Academy team as its first instructor.

Cast and Crew Theatre Arts Academy is located at North Fraser Centre, a re-purposed elementary school in Whon-nock. The group offers multiple re-hearsal rooms, auditorium seating for up to 130 patrons, traditional Shake-spearean thrust stage design, combined lunch and quiet study area with tables and chairs that parents and siblings can use while classes are in session, and free parking.

Sharon has learned that there are many ways to create, and we all have the power to create every day. Sharon’s creativity infuses

Labour Day may mean the end of sum-mer for school kids, but it’s also the start of the fall soccer league for the West Coast Auto Group Football Club.

More than 140 teams will converge on Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows for the West Coast Cup.

The annual tournament is the largest sporting event hosted by two cities.

The tournament gets underway on Sat-urday at 10 a.m. with 18 games slated throughout Maple Ridge and Pitt Mead-ows.

In total, there are 15 separate divisions for boys and an addition 12 for girls.

Most playoff games start Monday at 10 a.m. and the finals are scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

The West Coast Cup is the annual prelude to the start of the fall season on Sept. 11.

Misty Thomas, executive director of the WCAGFC, said the group expects another great year and is looking forward to see-ing the wide range of ages back out on the pitch.

She said the club is always excited about its micro program for kids ages three to six years old.

“West Coast FC is usually the very first team sport experience for children this

young,” said Thomas. “Many parents are not even aware that there are programs for these young age groups. We take a lot of pride in this unique program. It’s impos-sible to watch this program and not smile”

Thomas said the club is also excited to launch a partnership with the B.C. Soccer Association focusing on the under-eight to u-10 program.

The grassroots festival will get underway

Sept. 12 and will focus on bringing togeth-er coaching techniques and skills training between the two associations.

She said the region is starting to see some of the benefits of having teams run under the one banner, mostly due to the dedi-cated work of the coaches, volunteers, and families.

“It’s difficult to single out one factor. I think that with a large club, so many dif-ferent people active, it a collective. Every-body’s working hard to make a great expe-rience for the kids that live in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.”

The WCAGFC was formed in the 2012/13 season and boasts the majority of registered players in the region.

Albion FC was given the green light by B.C. Soccer to form its own club in June 2014.

Last year, the WCAGFC had 17 youth teams between the u-13 to u-18 divisions win district championships, as well as three adult teams, which was a record.

The u-15 Division 1 Storm girls team went on to win the Coastal Cup, qualifying for the provincials, where the team placed fifth.

In total, Thomas estimates more than 4,000 players will don the WCAGFC jer-sey’s in 2015/16 season.

Local soccer also got a boost recently when the federal government announced a $500,000 grant to the City of Maple Ridge to convert the two gravel fields at the Al-bion Sports Complex into two smaller arti-ficial multi-purpose fields. The total cost of the project is $3 million.

The federal funds won’t be released until 2017, coinciding with the Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations.

West Coast Cup kicks off fall schedule

[email protected]

Albion elementary will be the site of the first ever community ball hockey tournament in honour of former spe-cial education assistant teacher Susan Van Pelt.

Van Pelt died of lung cancer in Jan-uary of 2014, just seven weeks after her initial diagnosis. Her husband Art decided to make a donation to the Burnett Fellowship Baptist Church in her honour after the work the church had done while Susan was sick.

Art said after consultation with the pastor, they decided to purchase some ball hockey equipment and or-ganized some free drop-in play over the course of the summer.

“Susan was very much focused on youth,” said Art. “She was a special education assistant who loved work-ing with special needs kids and I wanted to give a donation that was significant and that would go to help-ing youth.”

Now the community is being in-vited to participate in a tournament

on Saturday, Sept. 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Glory Destura, who is an intern at the Baptist church as the children’s director, helped organize the tourna-ment.

“It a great way to bring people to-gether,” said Destura. “The event is open to anyone in the community to attend.”

The tournament will get rolling at 10 a.m. for kids between Grade 1 and 6 followed by free barbecue at noon.

From 1 to 3 p.m. the tournament

will be open to adults and kids, said Destura.

Art said he plans on being in at-tendance and will take some time to emphasize his own battle to put much tighter restrictions, even the elimina-tion of, the sale of tobacco. Van Pelt said he doesn’t want Susan’s death to be in vain.

“We need to get the message out that smoking kills,” he said.

• To register for the tournament call 604-465-4418 or email [email protected].

The Ridge Meadow Flames grabbed their first preseason win on the week-end, but it was a loss to the Delta Ice Hawks that impressed the team brass most, said head coach Jamie Fiset.

The Flames dropped a 3-2 decision to the Ice Hawks in Delta on Satur-day night in a tight affair. But it was’ a game, on paper, Fi-set said his team had no business being in.

“Saturday, we should have got slammed by the Ice Hawks,” said the coach.

Fiset said the Ice Hawks dressed nine regulars, with only three coming from their minor hockey system.

Fiset said that was in stark contrast to the Flames approach, suiting up just two veterans.

“We hung right in their until the last two minutes and ended up losing 3-2, but we out shot them, out chanced them, but we just couldn’t put the puck in the net.”

The head coach said the Flames looked nervous in the early going Sat-urday in Delta, giving up seven shots in the first five minutes. He said what initially looked like a long night for the Flames quickly turned around as his team took the game to the Ice Hawks.

The Flames won their first game of the preseason Friday, defeating the Port Moody Panthers 6-5.

He and his coaching staff decided to take a different approach to training camp this year, only dressing a few veterans per game, thus leaving more spots for rookies to crack the line-up and play against other teams better players.

He said this weekend’s play justified that decision.

“Some kids showing us that they really can play in this league,” he said.

Fiset said the biggest shout out over the week-

end went to two Maple Ridge kids, Quenton Mag-

nuson and Tristan Trestle.Magnuson is a 6’2” forward

who dressed in three games for the Flames last year, while the six-foot Trestle comes to the team as a true rookie.

Fiset said he’s also impressed with 18-year-old defenceman Daniyal Nussipakynov of North Vancouver. The 2’10” 170 right-handed D-man played two games with the Flames last year, recording an assist.

The Flames have two more exhibi-tion games before the start of the PIJHL’s 50th season. They square off against the Panthers in Port Moody Sept. 2 at 8:30 p.m. and host the Ice Hawks on Friday, Sept. 4 at 7:30 p.m.
