Budget crunch stalls Evergreen again. p11Teacher looks back

After 35 years, he’s leaving school p12

Tensions brewed as Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission candidates returned to the issue of water Wednesday night.

And NDP candidate Craig Speirs led the charge, accusing Fisheries and Oceans Canada of being under political control.

“The DFO has been politicized. Their abil-ity to react is gone unless we reinvigorate them,” said Speirs.

“Taking as many days to respond to the North Alouette situation is intolerable. I don’t think the parliamentary secretary of fi sheries (Conservative MP Randy Kamp) has done a very good job. It’s his respon-sibility and he hasn’t done a very good job at it.”

Speirs, Liberal candidate Mandeep Bhuller and the Green party’s Peter Tam all criticized government budget cuts that have left Fisheries incapable of effectively responding to critical incidents.

They made their points at an all-candi-dates’ meeting at Whonnock Lake Centre as the hours ticked down towards Monday’s federal election.

DFO still hot election topic, but all agree, stop subsidies to big oil

Tax bills in mail before strikedeadline

The threat of a strike has Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows scrambling to mail out property tax notices be-fore postal workers set up picket lines.

Last week, members of the Cana-dian Union of Postal Workers voted 94.5 percent in favour of striking – if necessary – to obtain a collective agreement.

“We hope the sky-high strike vote and the record turnout of our mem-bers will put pressure on Canada Post to negotiate,” said CUPW na-tional president Denis Lemelin.

“Canada Post has been very fo-cused on its demands, not ours.

Bhuller voiced similar concerns about Fisheries, noting that the agency has become “ideologically dysfunctional.” He argued that part of the problem is most deci-sions are not based on research and science. Bhuller suggested that an independent-strengthened de-partment would help solve some of these concerns, while Tam pointed out the agency shouldn’t be deal-ing with agricultural issues such as salmon farming.

Kamp though responded by point-ing out his involvement in launch-ing the 2009 Cohen Commission of Inquiry into the Decline of Sockeye Salmon in the Fraser River.

The large crowd inside Whonnock Lake Centre was vocal throughout the night, often cheering, clapping and booing responses from candi-dates.

Speirs, also a Maple Ridge coun-cillor, was questioned about his stance on the Albion fl ats and its

possible development into a shop-ping mall at Lougheed Highway and 105th Avenue, as a source for job creation. He argued the land was too valuable to be wasted on shopping.

“If we start putting shopping out in Albion Flats, it will kill our downtown,” he said.

“If you think they’re (the Agricul-tural Land Commission) going to approve it, my you’ve been smok-ing some of Haney’s best. It ain’t going to happen. So, let’s get real about this. Let’s move on.”

The HST was another primary topic between the NDP and Con-servative candidates. Kamp said the federal government couldn’t get involved in a decision left up to its provincial counterparts. How-ever, Speirs argued that Stephen Harper’s government should have taken more responsibility in the matter and insisted on public con-sultation fi rst.

“It takes two to dance and that

dance goes both ways,” he said.“You just can’t say it’s the prov-

ince’s responsibility. Who’s getting the money?

“They’ve really made a huge a problem for our province. I think it’s unconscionable and I think they should pay the price.”

Job creation, support for families and national security were also dis-cussed during the debate. Speirs promised the NDP would lower the small business tax rate and reward job creation with a tax credit.

A re-elected Conservative govern-ment would invest in job training,

provide a family tax cut, eliminate the defi cit by 2014, maintain a six-per-cent annual funding increase for health care to provinces and pass more bills that crack down on orga-nized crime, implement tougher sen-tences and ensure mandatory jail for sexual offences against children.

Tam said funding for alternative energy, an effective transportation system and a fl at post-secondary fee nationwide to lower education costs would be priorities for the Green party. Bhuller noted that skills train-ing also needs to be re-established in the future and affordable childcare implemented to help parents in-crease their education level.

All candidates agreed that restor-ative justice practices are essential to dealing with crime, increased collaboration with local food banks is needed to help reduce hunger caused by poverty and no more subsidies should be provided to oil companies.

Crowd vocal talking taxes, jobs, health

“The corporation wants to pay new employees 30 percent less.”

Meanwhile negotiations contin-ue, with the aid of a government-appointed conciliator.

If an agreement is not reached, the postal workers’ union gains the right to strike on May 24 at mid-night.

It means Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows will have about a week to calculate, prepare and mail out property tax bills.

Both municipalities have yet to give fi nal readings to their tax rate bylaws, but will do so before May 15.

“It is important to us that we try and get it out before this po-tential deadline, so that we don’t have the bills sitting in a ware-house and not moving,” said Pitt Meadows director of finance Dean Rear, who has about 7,500 bills to prepare.

“If it does happen it will be a bit of a scramble for us but we are put-

ting plans in place to try and deal with it.”

Most home owners in Pitt Mead-ows will see an increase of around 5.95 per cent this year.

Maple Ridge’s tax rate bylaw, which sets a 5.6 per cent increase, will get three readings next week.

A postal strike won’t mean you can delay paying your bills. The deadline for payment is July 4.

Paul Gill, Maple Ridge’s general manager of corporate and fi nan-cial services, points people to the

district’s online payment feature, should a strike hit. Their depart-ment mails out an average of 25,000 tax notices. “These tools should be considered whether there is a mail strike or not,” said Gill. “The days of people getting a bill in the mail are starting to become passé.”

Mandeep Bhuller, Liberal, Randy Kamp, Conservative, Craig Speirs, NDP and Peter Tam, Green, are all vying for votes Monday, in Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission.The deadline for com-

menting on what the city should do with the vast tract of land off Lougheed Highway is fast approach-ing.

If you didn’t attend an open house April 18, you have until May 2 to com-plete a survey online.

Three options were pre-sented to council earlier this month by AECOM, which is leading a review of the North Lougheed land, with input from an agrolo-gist, economist, land-use and urban planning ex-perts, as well as a transpor-tation engineer.

The $40,000 study is con-sidering 50.9 hectares (125 acres) of land all the way to the yet-to-be built North Lougheed Connector, much of it agricultural.

The first option pitches development, including big stores, a hotel or confer-ence centre, showrooms or a business park on 35 hect-ares (86 acres), while leav-ing 16 hectares (39.5 acres) for farming or other agri-cultural uses, like agri-food processing facility.

It’s an option that won’t cover the costs of building the road.

The second sets aside 12 hectares (30 acres) for farming, while the third proposes developing the entire site.

Both the second and third options would generate sufficient funds to build the proposed 3.6-kilometre North Lougheed Connec-tor, which would stretch from Harris Road to Golden Ears Way.

The City of Pitt Mead-ows is fi nally moving towards legalizing gar-den suites as it consid-ers a bylaw to make the currently illegal dwell-ings legit.

Besides Burnaby, Pitt Meadows is the last Metro Vancouver mu-nicipality where the suites – either attached to a house or built sepa-rately on the same lot – are not allowed.

Data gathered from census data as well as garbage and hydro consumption suggests

there may be as many as 550 illegal suites in the city.

Pitt Meadows has only 92 “in-law” suites registered.

“We have a commit-ment to provide for rental housing and suites are a way of pro-viding it without sub-stantially changing the look and feel of a neigh-bourhood,” said city director of operations Kim Grout.

A survey of city resi-dents done in 2009 found more than 70 per cent supported secondary or garden suites.

Garden suites can be used by seniors who want to stay close to their kids in the main house.

They can also be used for young adults seek-ing a cheaper place to live, while the rent can

help the homeowner with the mortgage.

The zoning bylaw making secondary suites legal will likely be in place by fall.

In the meantime, city staff will begin check-ing their list of “in-law” suites to make sure they are in compliance and will send letters to other homes which have unsanctioned mortgage helpers.

“As we become aware of them we will be reaching out,” said Grout, adding there is also an onus on owners with illegal suites to bring them into compli-ance.

All suites in use, re-gardless if legal or not, will be required to pay additional utility fees.

Property owners with legal ones will get a 40-

per-cent discount while those who fail to reg-ister them will be pay double the single fam-ily utility rate.

Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean would like more enforcement, especially for those homes with “in-law” suites, which can only be occupied by fam-ily member. “I’m sure

we have grandmothers living in some of them who are now 120 years old,” said MacLean at committee Tuesday.

“If you hire somebody to go out and actively search out every illegal suite, you would automatically pay for that manpower and everybody would be on the same page. They would all be legal.”

Pitt Meadows legalizing secondary suitesPossibly more than 500 illegaldwellings in city

Suite dreams•Under the proposed program, homeowners who would like to build a suite or those who already have a suite would need to apply for a business license. • The minimum lot size for any garden suite is 5,993 sq. feet. • Properties which apply for secondary or garden suites must be owner-occupied.• Suites can be between 355 square feet and 968 square feet or 10 per cent of the lot and must provide one additional parking space. • Boarding or child care uses will not be permitted in the suites.For more information, visit pittmeadows.bc.ca.

OIL GAMEMany years ago when I started in this crazy

world of automotive repairs there were two types of engine oil, new engine oil and dirty engine oil, and two weights of oils, 10W and 30W. Twenty years ago when I fi rst opened my doors at our current location, we stocked three different engine oils and two different auto transmission oils.That added up to fi ve different jugs of oil on the shelves. Today we stock more than six different types of auto transmission oils, and eleven different types of engine oil. There are many more types of oil out there as we only stock what we use.

This morning I had a customer inform me the oil leaks we advised her about on her last service were no longer an issue. She went on to inform me that it wasn’t necessary to fi x the leaks like I’d advised her, rather some other shop had just installed 15W40, a much thicker/heavier weight of oil and all the leaks stopped. I nodded and kept from making eye contact with her, so she didn’t see my ‘I’m annoyed look’ and told her I would phone her when her van was on the hoist.

Once we had the van on the hoist and we could see the bottom of the vehicle we found that the previous shop had shampooed the engine, hence no more leaks, and that all the leaks were in fact, still there. The leakage trail was just about down to the bottom of the oil pan, yet again, and she would soon fi nd out the truth for herself. The problem with using heavier oil to slow down something like oil leakage or consumption, is the very real possibility of collateral damage. In the case of this particular van using a heavier oil it can cause the valve lifters to malfunction, causing very expensive internal engine damage.

The days of the end user or service personal recommending what type of oil to use on a vehicle are over. All vehicle manufacturers design their engine internals to be used in conjunction with a certain weight & type of engine oil. It’s essential to stick to what the manufacturer recommends, especially if you want to maintain warranty and/or good fuel economy and engine life. This also rings true for differentials, transmissions, transfer cases, power steering systems, coolant systems, air-conditioning systems, etc.

Working on all makes of vehicles, day in and day out, we see the resultant damage caused by vehicle owners that don’t know or adhere to the manufacturer’s recommended service intervals and fl uids. Here at Westside we have the most up to date online data resources which list all the recommended service items, intervals and oils to use. We wouldn’t even consider deviating from that list, we’ve seen the carnage it can cause. It’s just not worth it to take chances. If you have any questions please feel free to call, we don’t mind! Honest.

In a cage on Dave Rempel’s Whonnock property, a bobcat con-templates its fate.

His second sojourn into the backyard for a meal didn’t turn out as expected.

“He’s been lunging a bit, and is very scared,” said Rempel, a school district trustee for Ma-ple Ridge-Pitt Meadows who caught the wild cat at his home on 277th Street, where he oper-ates a bird sanctuary.

The cat had snacked on a male Trumpeter swan Tuesday night.

To keep the feline away from two other breeding pairs, Rempel decided to set up a live trap Wednesday night after a school board meeting.

On Thursday morn-ing, he walked out to fi nd an animal pacing around the metal cage.

“I looked at it from the distance and it looked like one of my cats,” said Rempel, who has tried to trap wild, hun-gry beasts on his prop-erty before - without much success. He usu-ally ends up catching his pet dogs and cats.

The bobcat (Lynx ru-fus) can be thought of as the “southern equiv-alent” of the lynx.

Where lynx tend to prefer colder climes, bobcats live in warmer regions with a range that stretches over much of the United States, parts of Canada and south into central Mexico.

Their diet includes mice, fi sh, snakes, birds, carrion and small ungulates such as deer.

Like its cousin the lynx, the bobcat is also a major predator of rab-bit and hare.

Bobcats can live fairly close to urban areas and, according to the B.C. Conservation Ser-vice, seem much more tolerant of humans than lynx.

Rempel would have liked to keep the bobcat, to add to his collection of critters at the Whon-nock Bird Sanctuary, which currently boasts swans, geese, peacocks, pheasants and Sandhill cranes.

The retired school principal has been giv-ing school tours of the sanctuary for 20 years.

“It gives me my teach-

ing fi x,” Rempel said.Conservation offi -

cers were scheduled to visit Rempel’s property Thursday afternoon to transport the bobcat for release out of Maple Ridge, away from easily available meals.

THE NEWS/opinion

Marine biologist, Alexandra Morton wants B.C. voters to answer her SOS to save wild salmon. Dubbed “Mayday for Salmon,” Morton’s latest campaign to save the species, is her poll of federal candidates in Vancou-ver Island, the Inte-rior, Lower Mainland and along the Fraser from Hope to Delta.

Morton tried to track down as many candidates as she could over the past two weeks and asked: “Will you remove salmon feedlots from B.C. waters within 12 months of being elected?”

The answers, she says, will show who wants wild salmon to survive.

“Vote for people who care,” Morton pleads. “Trust your instincts. You know who’s blowing you off.”

It’s Wednesday April 20 in Maple Ridge. Local hopefuls, Craig Speirs, NDP, Peter Tam, Green, Mandeep Bhull-er, Liberal, and Conservative incumbent Randy Kamp take questions in the Maple Ridge Library. Morton enters clutching the fi breglass cast of a spawning male coho caught near Quadra Island.

Her friend, Anissa Reed, adjusts a salmon-head mask. She’s a mother from the coastal village of Echo Bay where Morton researches killer whales and salmon. Reed tells me why she’s here.

“If there’s anything I want to leave my daughter, it’s wild salmon and a healthy ecosystem.”

Alexandra tells the candidates that fi sh farms contribute $500 million to the economy and employ about 1,200 work-ers. Wilderness tourism contributes $1.6 billion, and 30,000 jobs.

She also explains that on March 17, the DFO’s Pacifi c director general of science, Dr. Laura Richards, was put on the stand at the Cohen Commission to answer questions about a ministerial brief re-garding a virus (salmon leukemia) that became epidemic in salmon feedlots on sockeye migration routes in the 1990s. (http://alexandramorton.typepad.com).

Morton says the DFO knew about the virus and suspected it was one of the three major causes of the 2009 sockeye decline, but did not release this informa-tion to the public.

Health records of farm fi sh are now being examined by Cohen.

The DFO supports the farm fi sh in-dustry. “The DFO is irrelevant,” Morton says. I agree.

I ask Alexandra to give our candidates a letter grade and report card comment. Peter Tam: “He’s strong on effort. I could tell he is serious about what he’s doing. He supports wild salmon. I’d give him a B-.”

Craig Speirs: “The man’s a hard work-ing candidate, very informed about it, very energetic and capable. He gets a B+.” She’d vote for him.

Mandeep Bhuller: “Very thoughtful, but hadn’t looked into the issue or read

the papers. I’d have to give him a C-.”Randy Kamp: “His response was we’re

going to wait for the Cohen Commission to decide about salmon farming.

“I asked are you committed to implementing the findings of the commission if it says fish farms are destructive?

“He said no, he’s not committed to act-ing on them.

“He looks like a man who’s getting in the way of protecting wild salmon. I’d give him a D+.”

“Not an F?” asks Anissa.“What do students get who haven’t

done the work get, Jack?” asks Morton.“An ‘I’ for Incomplete.”“Well, Kamp gets an Incomplete on his

report card because he hasn’t done the work he’s supposed to have done.”

It’s Thursday in West Vancouver. Don Staniford handles Morton’s itinerary. He’s waiting to hear which candidates will see Alex this morning. I ask Mor-ton to rate the parties while we wait.

Today, two billion people around the world will be glued to their TVs to watch the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

They’ll also be able to view the pomp and cer-emony on an offi cial royal YouTube channel, or a royal wedding app on their iPhone, or follow it on a live blog with integrated Twitter feed.

There’s no escaping the hype.According to the tech fi rm Greenlight, the roy-

al wedding is mentioned 9,000 times a day online, or once every 10 seconds. Six times more people are excited about the wedding than those who couldn’t care less.

No detail is too minute or mundane for scruti-ny, from speculation on Middleton’s dress who’s on the guest list and who’s not, to the gifts, the appetizers, the menu, the carriage, the weather.

The cynics, meanwhile, roll their eyes. They dismiss the royal family as irrelevant; they don’t make decisions or create policy.

They scorn their lavish lifestyles of privilege as a burden on taxpayers struggling to pay the rent and buy groceries in tough times. They shake their heads at the expense and attention paid to a royal wedding as an affront when people are dying in wars, struggling to rebuild their lives after disasters, dealing with the daily challenges of disease, starvation and poverty.

But it’s those realities that pique our inter-est and curiosity about the royals, their wealth, their lifestyles, their foibles and follies.

It’s human nature to seek escape from all the challenges of just getting through the day, whether it’s turning up the volume on a favou-rite song as we’re stuck in traffi c, to popping into the coffee shop for a snack, to scanning the head-lines on the gossip magazines.

For most, the royal wedding is no more than that, a diversion. So sit back and enjoy. The problems of the world return on Saturday.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:I was involved with the

NDP’s sign crew in the 2006 federal election. I and my partner on the sign crew were kept busy many nights repairing as many exist-ing signs as putting up new ones.

I will never forget being shocked and disappointed to read a newspaper article which seemed to suggest that only the other parties’ signs were signifi cantly af-fected. I knew from daily experience that our signs were suffering at least as much “attrition” as anyone else’s.

Most vandalism seemed to be the work of drunk driv-

ers. Lots of signs had simply been driven over; you could see the tire tracks. The rest could be explained by ran-dom, angry types who ex-press themselves by smash-ing things.

You’d have to ask them what personal need they are satisfying, I have no idea.

In a few more extreme in-stances, someone had taken the extra time to slash the commercially printed plas-tic sign with a knife so they would be permanently un-usable.

That type of damage tends to indicate someone who understands enough about an election campaign to know that one cannot prac-

tically order more of these signs when there’s only a couple of weeks left to elec-tion day.

That minority of cases could reasonably be thought of as politically informed in a perverse kind of way, and politically motivated.

In 2008 and again this year, there have been some really spectacular election vandalism stories coming out of Ontario, such as 100 large highway signs iden-tically spray painted on a single night, brake lines severed, tires slashed, and cars keyed.

Either there are far more drunks and angries per capita in Ontario than

here, or else there really is some organized effort go-ing on, and it would be nice if the police found out who is doing it.

One thing I have noticed is that the smaller signs on residential property are rarely affected.

Whoever the vandals are, they don’t seem to be will-ing to trespass on their neighbour’s lawn in order to make their point.

Perhaps there’s a lesson there for party organiza-tions who don’t want to waste cash and volunteer time maintaining signs in higher risk locations.

THE NEWS/letters

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Why getting rid of all signs? (Letters, April 22).I was appalled by the recent article describing the tar-

geting of Ridge Meadows Hospice Society’s thrift store.Many such organizations are operated by volunteers

who contribute countless hours to help our community be a better and more caring place.

Our bylaw department seems to have the attitude that they have the right to harass our volunteers.

They certainly do not – and should not continue down this road!

Remember, bullies always pick their fi ghts with someone they think they can bully.

We, as a society and a community, do not accept or con-done bullying in any form. Shame on you, Maple Ridge bylaws department!

As a taxpayer, I would ask Maple Ridge council to re-view the bylaws department’s mandate to help them bet-ter understand what really makes a strong, caring and vibrant community. They have obviously lost sight of this concept.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:I am disappointed that B.C.’s incred-

ible offshore wind energy resources have not yet been developed.

B.C. has some of the best offshore wind energy sites in the world, but the clean, renewable energy these sites could be producing is literally blowing past us.

With cost-effective clean energy so urgently needed in North America, can we afford to let B.C.’s vast renewable en-ergy resources go unused?

B.C. could supply clean energy to oth-er parts of this continent and replace the coal-fi red electricity often used.

So where is the call to arms that can

make this happen? The environmental benefits are

obvious. The economic benefi ts could be even greater if we capitalize on the incredible, renewable energy resourc-es B.C. has in abundance.

Recycling is now mandatory in Maple Ridge.

Council passed a new Solid Waste and Recy-cling Regulation bylaw on Tuesday night that will allow the district to fi ne violators and enforce green habits.

“It’s not that we were

having a lot of prob-lems, but there were some problems and the only way to actually make sure we can con-trol it at the end of the day is to have a bylaw in place,” said bylaws director Liz Holitzky.

“We can only do so much with encourage-ment and education, but there does come a point in time when we have to take that next step and do some enforcement, and this will allow us to be able to do that.”

The bylaw also ad-dresses multi-family housing and says any condo complex with more than 12 units has to use the recycling cart system, while those un-der that use the blue box rack system.

Most multi-family complexes already col-lect recyclables, but a bylaw would ensure that every new com-plex would have space for collecting reusable trash and for the trucks that pick it up.

Similar bylaws are

already in place in Pitt Meadows, Surrey, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam.

According to the Ridge Meadows Recy-cling Society, 36 per cent of the garbage produced in Maple Ridge homes is either yard or kitchen waste or wood waste. When that’s combined with a recycling rate of 55 per cent, Maple Ridge could exceed Metro Vancouver’s target of 70 diversion of garbage from the dump.

“The Liberals have no clear platform on this issue; some are pro-salmon, others are saying they’ll wait for the real science which I take offence to because I’ve written 25 papers on the subject.”

The Conservatives: “The word must be coming down from Ottawa because the candidates all have the same responses; all speaking the same language. I have no idea why people vote for them.”

The NDP: “In the NDP offi ces, I’m look-ing into real, genuine faces. They support wild salmon.”

Stanford announces the Green candidate will see Morton in Squamish later. He couldn’t locate the Liberal.

Terry Platt, NDP, didn’t have an offi ce. “She’s welcomed us into her home,” Don says.

Morton asks Platt if salmon’s an issue in her campaign. She says voters seem more interested in the economy.

“The environment is the economy for us,” says Morton.

When we leave, Mor-ton forgets her coho. Platt rushes up with it in the street. Don takes a picture as Platt and Alex hold the salmon between them.

After meeting the Green candidate in Squamish, Morton decides she’d vote for him.

John Weston, the in-cumbent Conservative offers us popcorn at his campaign offi ce, then meets us at a café. Alex asks the questions. She implores him to “be brave; gird your loins” when he answers.

Later, I ask her to assess Weston’s re-sponses.

“He’s not going to do anything. He didn’t say he’d protect wild salmon, or he’d get rid of fi sh farms if the Co-hen Commission said they were destructive.”

On May 1, Morton leads a walk into for wild salmon from Syd-ney to Victoria.

The long-promised Evergreen Line may remain on ice for much of this year because TransLink has so far not even begun to pre-pare a fi nancial supple-ment to fund its share.

So says Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini, who takes it as a bad sign that more delays are likely on a $1.4-bil-lion SkyTrain exten-sion that was supposed to be under construc-tion by now.

The only missing piece of the puzzle is TransLink’s $400-mil-lion contribution.

Metro Vancouver may-ors are in talks with the provincial government over new mechanisms to raise money, potentially including a vehicle levy or road pricing.

Trasolini said Trans-portation Minister Blair Lekstrom told mayors this week the project won’t start until Trans-Link’s share is delivered.

But he’s hopeful be-

cause Lekstrom re-committed to an ac-cord signed last year by predecessor Shirley Bond and former pre-mier Gordon Campbell pledging to negotiate new funding for region-al transportation.

The problem, he said, is that talks are now focused on fi nding an over-arching solution on long-term funding to pay for a variety of TransLink capital proj-ects, including new rapid transit lines to Surrey and UBC.

That may mean a sim-pler Evergreen Line-only funding solution will be parked longer.

“It’s troubling to me

that there is no supple-mental plan specifi c to the Evergreen Line,” Trasolini said, referring to TransLink’s process of proposing expansion projects with tax or fee increases for the may-ors’ approval.

“There’s no other plan that’s been prepared nor is there anything in the works so far as I know.”

Federal and provin-cial funding for the line through Port Moody to Coquitlam is in place, environmental approv-als are complete and design work is done.

The transportation ministry is now select-ing a contractor and the project website says

construction is slated to begin in late 2011.

“I object to the north-east sector being the sacrifi cial lamb when everything is done,” Trasolini said.

“The only thing miss-ing is the TransLink $400-million and that is not happening.”

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said he, too, doubts Trans-Link will have a solu-tion anytime soon.

Stewart said the B.C. government will want to celebrate an agree-ment on major transit upgrades – not face continued discord – go-ing into an election that could happen this fall.

Evergreen line delayed – even longerFunding deal needed before fall

I am now within two months of retirement from teaching and I have found myself in a refl ective mood quite often as I survey the workplace in which I have spent the last 35 years. I’m not refer-ring to any one school, but rather, to the environment that a school offers as a place in which to work.

I have been blessed with work that I have enjoyed every day but I am reserved when asked if it’s a career path I’d recommend for others. I guess that all depends.

If you like plenty of human drama and daily uncertainty, then a school is a wonderful place to be. You can never predict, from one day to the other or one class to the other, exactly what is going to happen at any given point in time.

Education is very much an endeavour

of human interactions and with no two people the same, and every-one prone to good and bad days, well, the possibilities of emotional ups and downs are infi nite.

I’ve liked that environment, not because I’m up and down myself but quite the opposite. I have tried to bring calm, focus and con-sistent performance to my students and staff in order to help them manage their emo-tions, keep things in perspective and learn to adapt to challenges and change.

There was no greater satisfaction for me than seeing young people succeed because they learned both academic skills and personal manage-ment skills.

As they graduated, I just knew they would be OK.

If you have a lot of patience and don’t need constant positive feedback from others to feel validated, then

perhaps teaching is good for you.

You get some good feedback at times, of course, but you also have to take a lot of fl ack from politi-cians trying to score elec-tion points, administra-tors trying to bury you

in pa-perwork, parents

criticizing you, and kids simply resisting your best

efforts to make THEIR lives better. You have to be confi -dent that what you do will make a difference, perhaps not today, perhaps not even next week, but at some point, a light is going to come on for a student and he/she will say,

“That’s what he was talking about!”

Some of my great-est satisfactions have come from seeing students blossom, not just academically, but athletically and artisti-cally.

If you can coach,

take kids to do commu-nity service, take them to travel to new places, to deliver food baskets or collect donations at Christmas then you’ll see how every new experience brings excitement and aware-ness to them.

And without get-ting too corny, if you can understand the difference between a job and a calling, then being a teacher is for you.

You recognize that each day, your pres-ence, enthusiasm and passion is a model for a young person who is still seeking their own way in life.

You are there, not to get them through the curriculum, but to get them to appreciate life and learning and all that it can bring to them.

You are there to help them open career op-portunities for their future and to be caring and compassionate citizens and family members.

You are there be-cause you want to be to some students, what a teacher in your past was to you, someone

who inspired you.There have certainly

been times when I’ve questioned my career choice and my ability to make a difference.

I have failed misera-bly with some students that I have desperately wanted to help and I have had my share of tragedies when young people I have taught and cared for have been lost to drugs or accidents.

Working with young people has its share of heartbreak.

Still, I wouldn’t change the choice I made for a career al-though I would change many mistakes I made along the way.

As a teacher now for 35 years and a parent for 24 years, I think I can honestly say I have learned more from kids than I’ve ever taught and that is what I will miss the most – the daily lessons in life that a school setting offers everyone who enters the door.

HST phone forums get underway

The B.C. government’s outreach on the har-monized sales tax started Wednesday evening with telephone town hall meetings for Surrey and the Peace River region, the fi rst of a series of regional forums that aims to ring every list-

ed home phone in B.C.The fi rst was originally set

for Tuesday in the southern coast and northern Van-couver Island, but it was postponed because of the Vancouver Canucks play-off game. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon, who will take questions at some of the fo-rums, said further schedule changes may be made to avoid calling people on Ca-nucks game nights.

Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom is sharing the town hall duties with Falcon. Lek-strom was in the hot seat for Wednesday’s fo-rum in the Peace River region, his home base.

Lekstrom has been given a high profi le in the government’s HST effort since returning to the B.C. Liberal caucus after quitting last year due to his constituents’ protests over the HST.

But after people have lived with the HST for 10 months, Lekstrom said he is more optimistic it will be supported in a mail-in referendum set to begin in mid-June. He credits Premier Chris-ty Clark’s effort to give the public a say.

“The willingness to go out and engage the pub-lic in these telephone town hall meetings, the opportunity to have their views heard, is exactly what should have happened 18 months ago.”

A fi re which started on a stove in a Pitt Meadows apartment Wednesday morning was quickly extin-guished by sprinklers.

A man asleep in the fourth fl oor suite woke up to the smell of smoke and fl ames, which set off sprinklers in the Fairway Apartments, located off Lougheed Highway overlooking the Meadows Gardens Golf Course.

Fire chief Don Jolley said the fl ames were quickly put out by sprinklers but the suite and three below it sus-tained water damage.

Electricity to the suites was turned off as a result.

“The young man was

unaware of the fi re on the stove. He was taken to hospital for caution-ary reasons,” Jolley added.

The Maple Ridge Fire Department was called to assist Pitt Meadows and helped make sure everyone had evacu-

ated the building.Most of the residents

were allowed back in-side the building within an hour.

Maple Ridge bylaw offi cers now have more options when dealing with owners of unkept properties.

Council has granted an ex-tension to the time frame pro-vided for property cleanup. The amendment to the Untidy and Unsightly Premises bylaw means that bylaw offi cers can now serve an owner a 30-day, 14-day or seven-day notice de-

pending on the condition of the property.

“It’s clearly geared to help res-idents,” said bylaws director Liz Holitzky.

‘It’s a more realistic time frame than the current bylaw.”

A huge number of fi nes issued for illegal fi shing have gone un-paid, raising serious questions about the federal fi sheries de-partment’s ability to deter poaching.

More than $1 million in fi nes are unpaid in B.C., offi cials from the Department of Fish-eries and Oceans dis-closed in recent testi-mony before the Cohen Commission into the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon.

Since most fi nes are less than $5,000, the total unpaid refl ects hundreds and perhaps thousands of people who have refused to pay, confi rmed Randy Nelson, DFO’s assistant director of conservation and protection.

Nor is there any mechanism to enforce payment.

“We don’t have a sys-tem to collect and fol-low up,” Nelson said under questioning at the inquiry April 8.

“It is of concern to of-fi cers.”

Paul Steele, DFO’s na-tional director-general for conservation and protection, told the inquiry the problem gets discussed “from time to time” but the department has been reluctant to spend the money required to pur-sue unpaid fi nes.

He also said DFO has trouble getting other government agencies to collect fi nes on its behalf and fi shery offi -cers may also lack the legal powers to execute warrants themselves to enforce payment.

Steele admitted under questioning from law-yer Don Rosenbloom the situation threatens to undermine DFO en-forcement efforts.

“If it’s widely known that a person could poten-tially get off without pay-ing a fi ne, then that could have an effect on compli-ance and the deterrence level, yes,” he said.

The more than $1 mil-lion in unpaid fi nes is a cumulative total includ-ing all types of fi sheries.

I just left my wife. Not permanently – just for four weeks, but it did require some careful negotiations.

The day before I left on an extended tour with some college students, I wanted to prove my love again for my beautiful bride of 37 years. I stayed up to the wee hours, fi ling our taxes, cleaning the basement and garage, rearranging furniture, and hanging pictures before our big family Easter party.

I’ve learned that

nothing makes my wife happier than paying close attention to her “honey-do” list!

In a much more pro-found way, our Creator knows the perfect way to prove His love for all of us. If Good Friday wasn’t enough, then the real proof is in the Easter story.

Skeptics have tried to disprove the resurrec-

tion of Jesus, but one by one they are won over by the evidence Something dramatic happened then that

changed the disciples of Jesus forever.

They were transformed from a scat-tered group of despondent deserters into a relentless force that took the good news of Jesus’ resurrection throughout the known world in just a few years. Not even the threat of im-prisonment, torture, or martyrdom could stop

them. People seldom die for a lie – they had seen the risen Lord!

While the death of Jesus means we can be forgiven for the past, the resurrection of Jesus offers us the power to change the present and future.

Our student team witnessed a perfect illustration of that from the start of our tour. We heard an incred-ible story from a young man who had sur-vived 26 foster homes, constant abuse, life on the streets, rape, child prostitution, drug ad-diction, jail time, and a pervasive sense of self-loathing. And yet what we saw before us did not match the descrip-tion of his past.

This was a man com-pletely turned right-side-up by the resur-rection power of Jesus, wanting to be baptized at the Easter service.

He knew that Jesus loved him and now this was his chance to prove that he loved Jesus right back!

Rob Buzza is pastor at NorthRidge Church.

Proof of God’s love is in Easter story

Adera’s Ultima at Pacifi c Spirit will be the ultimate place to live once construction is completed.

“Th is is the best of what we have to off er,” says vice-president of sales and marketing Eric Andreasen. “We’ve taken everything we’ve learned from Pacifi c Spirit, and put it (into) Ultima.”

Th ere is already interest in what he calls the ultimate community.

“Th ere’s been an overwhelming response,” he says. Homes at the University of British Columbia have yet to be released, but Andreasen says there are only 12 left for pre-registration. Th ere will be 60 homes in total.

Homes range from 630 to 1,152 square feet, most include a roomy private patio or deck. Owners can choose from three designer colour schemes in Golden, Charcoal or Red.

Bathrooms include porcelain fl oor tiles and quartz slab countertops, with an undermount sink and tiled shower surround in the en-suite. All fi xtures are by Kohler.

For the budding gourmet, kitchens are fi tted with quartz slab countertops, a glass tile backsplash and porcelain tile fl oors. Each kitchen comes with a suite of GE Profi le appliances, including a side-by-side Energy Star fridge, self-cleaning electric range and over-the-range hood fan.

One option available at Ultima is a kitchen worth $40,000 that includes

spectacular high-gloss cabinets.“Th is will be the ultimate ultra-

gourmet kitchen,” Andreasen says. Granite countertops and hardwood fl oors are available as upgrades.

Homebuyers can choose granite tile, heated bathroom fl oors or an electric fi replace, among other upgrade options.

Ultima is the fi nal building at UBC, and will complete Adera’s Pacifi c Spirit collection.

“Th is is a more aff ordable product at UBC,” Andreasen says. Th e target demographic ranges from young

professionals, to people selling their West Side homes and downsizing.

“It’s in the middle of the University Hill catchment,” says Andreasen. Th is will allow children to start schooling at local elementary schools and continue through secondary school and then on to UBC, all without having to move.

Ultima is in the heart of UBC’s Westbrook Village, making shopping, the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts and other services minutes away.

Owners receive membership to a car-sharing program, with access to a 200-car network, and a free Telus high-speed service package for the fi rst year.

Even the building itself is beautiful. “Th ere’s a giant glass face on the building,” Andreasen says. “Th is makes for a waterfall eff ect of glass.”

“We always want views,” says

Andreasen. Th ose who buy on the top fl oor get scenic views from a private roof-top West Coast lanai.

Adera is involved with UBC’s Residential Environmental Assessment Program (REAP), a green rating system for residential building. Ultima has Gold status, having earned high points in all seven rating categories. Th e program ensures buildings consume less water, energy and other natural resources, have higher-quality indoor environments, and were built using construction practices that have lower impacts on the site and community.

Ultima is selling out of Adera’s Spirit building while they wait for a sales centre to be completed. Adera expects to hold a grand opening in May.

Homes are priced $450,000 to high $800,000s. For info, www.adera.com.

Massive March for Greater Vancouver home sales.30 per cent jump in sales doesn’t quite set a record for region

Home sales nudged, but couldn’t quite break, the record for sales in March.

Th e Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reports 4,080 sales of all types of residential properties last month. Th at’s a 31.7 per cent jump from February’s 3,097 sales and a 30 per cent increase compared to March 2010.

REBGV President Rosario Setticasi said March 2011 saw a massive, 80.1 per cent rise over the 2,265 home sales in March of 2009.

“Our market has had a very strong start to the spring season,” Setticasi said. “With home sales above 4,000 and nearly 7,000 home listings added to the MLS in March, it’s clear home buyers and sellers view this as a good time to be active in their housing market.”

New listings in Greater Vancouver totalled 6,797 last month – a three per cent decline

compared to March 2010 when 7,004 properties went up for sale. However, new listings in March of this year did represent a 19.4 per cent jump over February.

Th e benchmark price for all residential properties in Greater Vancouver over the last 12 months rose 5.4 per cent to $615,810 last month, up from $584,435 in March 2010.

March saw 1,795 sales of detached properties, with a benchmark price rising to $866,806 – up 8.3 per cent from last year. Apartment sales reached 1,622, and the benchmark price rose 2.1 per cent to $403,885. REBGV saw 663 attached property sales, and a benchmark price of $511,039. Th e benchmark price is up 3.6 per cent.

Th e all-time sales record for March was in 2004 when 4,371 transactions were recorded.

Homes at Ultima will come in three designer colour schemes: Red, Golden or Charcoal. The homes start at $450,000.

When you turn on your tap and clean, safe water comes out, do you ever stop to think: how does it get there? Who brings it you? Where does it end up when you’re fi nished with it? BC Water & Waste Association and the Province of British Columbia have offi cially proclaimed Drinking Water Week May 1st to 7th, 2011. We invite you to celebrate this exciting week by “getting to know your H2O” – includ-ing where it comes from, where it goes, and how you can protect and conserve it.

Here in B.C., where we have an abundance of natural resources, we often take our tap water for granted. However, there is no such thing as ‘new water’ – the water that we use continually cycles through the environment, and is reused again and again. British Columbians personally use an average of 490 litres of water per day compared to the Canadian average of 329 litres per day. That is about double what Europeans use!

Although it may not be ap-parent to all of us, the costs and energy required to deliver water to our taps, treat it to be safe and clean, and safeguard the environment by managing wastewater, add up to billions of dollars every year in Canada.

Daisy Foster, CEO of the 4,400-member BC Water & Waste Association notes, “Increases in our population, the growth of

industry and agriculture, and the effects of climate change all place enormous pressure on our water supply.”

Drinking Water Week, May 1st - 7th, is dedicated to creat-ing awareness of the value of

our water, our water systems, and the people who make it accessible and safe for us to drink. Many communities throughout B.C. are holding events to cel-ebrate Drinking Water Week, in-cluding hosting tours of their local reservoirs and treatment plants, and we encourage you to take the time

to visit them. Check your local newspaper to fi nd out about events in your community, or visit www.drinkingwaterweek.org for activities and education-al resources provided by the BC Water & Waste Association.

Tips for conserving water:

Take shorter showers

Check your toilets and faucets for leaks

Turn-off the water while brushing your teeth

Purchase water-effi cient appliances

Install low-fl ow shower heads

Wash your car with a bucket instead

of a hose

Install low-fl ow toilets that use less water

Use rain barrels

Avoid watering your lawn in the summer

We need to value our drinking water

Water at a glance

True and False: Test your water knowledge by trying our quiz.

1. British Columbians use less water each day compared to other Canadians. T__ F__ 2. Most indoor water use occurs in the bathroom. T__ F__3. It does not matter what we put down our drains, as all of our wastewater gets treated in B.C. T__ F__

ANSWERS: 1; F. British Columbia residents use an average of 490 litres of water per day compared to the national average of 329 litres. 2; T. We use 65% of our water in the bathroom, 20% for laundry, 10% for drinking and kitchen needs, and 5% for cleaning. 3; F. While it is true that most wastewater in B.C. is treated before it is returned to its source, we should be careful not to put harmful substances down our drains or in our gardens. These substances can harm fish and other aquatic creatures (check with your municipality to find out how to properly dispose of harsh chemicals).

25% of Canadians have no idea where the water that fl ows out of their taps comes from.

Canadians use an average of 329 litres of water per day - twice the amount used by Europeans. However, the average Canadian thinks they use only 79 litres per day.

Canadians admit to knowingly engaging in water wasting activities such as leaving the tap running while washing dishes (44%) and hosing down their driveways (19%).

Canadians are more concerned with saving electricity than water: 29% of Canadians don’t know what they pay for their water, but only 10% don’t know what they pay for their electricity bill.

Looking for a simple but fast cover-up to screen an old fence or wall, an unsightly build-ing or a nosy neigh-bour?

Why not try some interesting and attrac-tive vines?

Most folks plant vines, like clematis and honeysuckle, for their lovely fl owers, but at-tractive, carefree foliage is also something to be considered.

One of the most unusual and attractive is a delightful kiwi vine that has dappled pink edges on its leaves all summer long. The leaves come out green in the early spring, then turn white and, eventually, pink. It has small white flowers that can be pollinated by planting both male and female vines. Its fruit, which is simply delicious, is very similar to the small grape-like kiwi. Its proper name is Ac-tinidia kolomikta.

For fast-growing vines that are great cover-ups on chain fences or unattractive cement walls, try one of the many forms of Virginia Creeper. Parthenocissus quinque-folia is the traditional large-leafed variety that turns brilliant red in fall. The so-called ‘Boston Ivy’, P. tricuspidata ‘Veitchii, has smaller and more elegant foliage with all the same characteristics. Its new growth is a purple-red all summer and this plant is quite pollution resistant. There are a few new varieties now available, like P. henryana, that have attractive varie-gated foliage. Even in winter, the massive network of vines makes them effective.

A classy and elegant vine seldom used is a dainty small-leafed akebia. It is a semi-evergreen vine that produces fragrant, small purple fl owers that are in bloom right now.

This Japanese native also produces small, sausage-shaped fruit. It is an effec-tive, fast growing vine that would be useful almost anywhere.

The vine being promoted in many maga-zines today is the ‘Hummingbird Vine’.

In our region it does not bloom until mid-summer, but when it does, its huge orange to scarlet blossoms are really quite something. Its leaves are very lush and fast growing, making it an ideal cover for old stumps, walls or trellises. There are

many varieties available today, but ask for Campsis radicans or C. tagliabuana ‘Ma-dame Galen’ for the bright orange fl owers that appeal to hummingbirds. The newest variety, ‘Indian Summer’, has a slightly lighter orange colour but blooms earlier and longer. It’s quite amazing. All camp-sis need little care but must have a hot, sunny area for the best performance. They can be invasive, so root pruning is recom-mended to keep them well behaved.

If you want fast, then one vine I really should mention is the Silver Lace Vine, Polygonum aubertii.

Often called the Mile-a- Minute Vine, it is among the fastest growing, stretching up to four metres per season.

To cover a patio, pole, old fence or any-thing unsightly for that matter, it is the best. I have run these vines up evergreen trees for a striking effect each summer as the lacy white blossoms provide a nice con-trast. It is the vine which seems to grow anywhere, with little care.

I once visited a gardener who smothered

an unattractive old shed wall with several varieties of honeysuckle.

Not only did they look great, but their fragrance also fi lled his entire garden. I was not the only admirer either, as several hummingbirds were sipping nectar from the long slender fl orets of a variety called ‘Dropmore Scarlet’.

My favourite variety is the soft yellow, very perfumed ‘Halliana’. There is a new variety, called ‘Honey Baby’, that grows only to six feet and has yellow perfumed fl owers all summer long. All varieties can suffer from mildew and aphids.

Wisteria also grows quickly, and whether it be the white, pink or blue variety, is not-ed for its rapid growth and clean appear-ance. By the way, the Chinese varieties grow anti-clockwise, while the Japanese varieties grow clockwise! The Japanese (fl oribunda) types bloom earlier than the Chinese (sinensis) varieties, which often take up to seven years for the fi rst blooms to appear.

My advice: purchase larger grafted vari-

eties for earlier blooming.If you have a really shady spot, then the

climbing hydrangea is absolutely the best. ‘Hydrangea petiolaris’ is an excellent, lush green climber with rounded, heart-shaped leaves.

Its large, fl at white fl ower clusters look absolutely smashing in June. Its newer, more dainty cousin, ‘schizophragma’ comes in both pink and white.

Another somewhat forgotten vine is the Porcelain Vine (Ampelopsis elegans) which has dainty white and green foliage that is a true class act in full sun or partial shade.

Vines are great, easy to grow, colourful and effective in solving so many landscape problems.

Take a good look around your garden and see if a few vines here and there wouldn’t improve the overall appearance, or at least cover up a few of those trouble spots.

REDUCED


Maple Ridge council has adopted a new by-law imposing pavement

restoration fees. The money will be

used to offset the cost to the district of re-surfacing roads broken up as a result of utility cuts from construction activities. “Any time you cut through as-

phalt, you reduce the life of the pavement,” said municipal engi-neer Andrew Wood.

“When a road is cut early in its life, it re-sults in an accelerated need for replacement ... which we would have to prematurely fund. It’s a lost opportunity cost and we’re looking to bridge that.”

Any person or com-pany who excavates in, cuts or otherwise breaks the paved sur-face of a road in Maple Ridge will now be re-quired to pay pavement restoration fees before starting their work. The amount owed is

calculated on a sliding scale according to the age of the street since its last paving, and is applicable to every square metre of excava-tion area.

“It refl ects council’s real desire for us to manage and plan as-sets better, and it also refl ects their real de-sire to be sound fi nan-cial stewards of public funds,” said Wood.

The new fees take ef-fect July 1 and use the following sliding scale.

0-5 years - $41.796-10 years - $31.3511-15 years - $20.90 16-20 years - $10.4521 years plus - $0

If you dig up roads, prepare to payOff set repair costs

We humans are not the only ones who look eagerly outside once the spring sun starts to shine and warms the earth and the water. Walking along the banks of the river or through the forest paths around Alouette Lake you can see the small amphibians busy making the most of the new season.

One of the most interesting and elusive creatures is the Pacifi c northwest, or brown salamander. This little chap is about 7.5 cen-timetres long and can be easily recognized by his rather fl at, round head and raised glands along his sides and the back of his tail.

Usually dark brown on top and lighter brown underneath, they blend naturally into their surroundings and are hard to see. Only if you catch the quick rustle of leaves and fl ash in the corner of your eye will you get a sighting, but be care-ful if you pick one up as they exude a white poisonous substance as a defence mechanism.

The brown salaman-der likes nothing better than damp marshy places to live, and you will see their baseball-size jelly mass fi lled

with up to 50 eggs clinging to the base of reeds and twigs in the still waters of a pond or slow moving small stream. Look around places where the skunk

cabbage grows and you might be lucky to spot one.

Depending on the warmth of the weath-er, it will take eight to 14 months for a salamander larvae to be-come an adult and some hatchlings do not develop

into terrestrial (land) salamanders but stay half grown for the rest of their lives, living in the water.

You can easily spot a salamander tadpole with his fat round body and feathery side wings and once it reaches 85 cm long it will turn into an adult .

These amphibians

can be mistaken for liz-ards. But salamanders sometimes develop without legs and you can see them pulling themselves along on their underbelly – something that does not happen to lizards.

If you are lucky enough to have a compost, fallen trees or pond in your garden, you might fi nd that a

salamander will take up residence. They hide in decomposing wood and deep leaf mould and are benefi -cial because they love a tasty slug and help keep the fl y population down.

Look for them when next out walking, or in your garden, they are shy but you might get a sighting.

Stick-wielding kids have long been dart-ing and deking on city streets, in parking lots, lacrosse boxes and community centres.

Now ball hockey is go-ing mainstream – and hitting the high schools as it catches the inter-est of educators trying to keep kids busy and active.

The sport’s novelty and low cost is perfect for students and high schools under budget constraints, says Rob Moxness who’s orga-nizing the fi rst B.C. high school ball hockey championships, May 13 to 15 at Port Moody Recreation Complex.

“Research shows that the peak time for youth criminality falls within the hours of 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., which underscores the need for school communities to develop meaningful, physically active and socially engaging after-school programs.

“Ball hockey is a fun, affordable and all-inclu-sive sport that is gain-ing popularity with both students and their fami-lies,” Moxness said.

“Implementing it as an after-school pro-gram will provide many opportunities for stu-dent engagement and

success,” he says.Six squads will com-

pete in what Moxness is calling a grassroots tournament.

Teams in the tourney are Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Ravens, the Mission Roadrun-ners, Stelly’s Sting-ers of Victoria, Delta’s Burnsview Griffi ns and the Fleetwood Park Dragons and Johnston Heights Eagles, both of Surrey.

A Surrey school teacher and 15-year competitive ball hockey player, Moxness be-gan lobbying schools last January, and re-connected with Port Moody’s Tony Bellano.

They both played in the Canadian nation-al men’s ball hockey championships in 2003 and 2006 where they competed against Van-couver Canucks hockey hero, Alex Burrows.

The positive response since –– about 100 stu-dents are expected to play in provincials –– has been pretty much

what Moxness expect-ed, with one particular-ly pleasant surprise at Terry Fox secondary.

“They are all passion-ate about ball hockey and most of them don’t play ice hockey, so it gives these types of kids an opportunity to carry on with the game in a more competitive environment,” said Whitson.

He like to see ball hockey become a more established school sport.

“The long-term goal would be to build an-other program that would offer the oppor-tunity for the kids to be competitive and ac-tive, doing something they are passionate about.”

Currently there is no representation from Pitt Meadows or Maple Ridge, but Gary Slavin, vice-president of the West Coast Minor Ball Hockey Association of B.C., and a Maple Ridge resident, want this to change.

And there’s lots of op-portunity here.

When the Ridge Meadows Minor Ball Hockey Association started in 2003 there were only 150 players.

Now there are more than 1,000 players, with 200 on a waiting list.

Bringing ball hockey to high schools would also open up more fa-cilities for the sport.

“With Ridge Mead-ows ball hockey, with 1,000 kids, fl oor time has always been an is-

sue,” explains Slavin. “There’s just not enough arenas.”

Slavin would like to see the Ridge Mead-ows Minor Ball Hock-ey Association and the school district to get something going next year.

With more than 6,000 youth currently playing organized ball hockey provincially, Moxness felt it was time it gradu-ated to the high school ranks to help keep kids in a positive, athletic en-vironment after school is out for the day.

“The primary goal is to provide fair, safe and equal participation for all prospective high school ball hockey athletes.”

Moxness is also work-ing with Surrey Parks and Rec to create a high school ball hockey league next April, cul-

minating in what he hopes will be the sec-ond annual provincial tourney.

Eventually, Moxness wants the sport to in-clude girls and special needs students.

“That would be awe-some.”

Garibaldi and Samuel Robertson Technical secondary slogged it out in the rain Wednes-day during a senior girls AA soccer game on SRT home turf.

Despite the weather, the teams were evenly matched and SRT man-aged to pull out a 3-2 win over Garibaldi.

Garibaldi coach Jere-my Brown was pleased with his team’s effort.

“We were a little bit short handed on num-bers today.

“But the girls put in a good effort. It was a miserable day. Freezing cold. And they worked hard today. They were two goals down and they got back to 2-2. I’m quite happy with their effort.”

Garibaldi’s two goal scorers were Mad-die Stroup and Rachel Carr. However, Chelsea Herron played especial-ly hard.

Mike Keenan, princi-pal and coach of SRT, was thrilled.

All three of SRT’s goals were scored by Allison Bain.

VICTORIA – Carole James’ collection of aboriginal art is gone from the NDP leader’s offi ce at the B.C. legis-lature, and her name was missing from the shadow cabinet an-nounced by new leader Adrian Dix Tuesday.

Dix discussed with James her role in the

legislative session that begins Wednesday, and she wanted to concen-trate on her Victoria-Beacon Hill constitu-ency rather than play a leading role after seven years as party leader.

“Carole is one of my closest advisers,” Dix said.

“She’s going to have a very signifi cant role on my team and we’ll be developing that as time goes on.”

Dix named leadership runner-up Mike Farn-worth to succeed him

as NDP health critic. Third-place fi nisher John Horgan returns to his previous role as energy critic, and takes over from Farn-worth as NDP house leader, a job that comes with a $20,000-a-year pay pre-mium.

Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Michael Sather was named dep-

uty critic for fi sheries.

S u r r e y -W h a l l e y MLA Bruce Ralston con-tinues as NDP finance critic, and will play a p r o m i n e n t role as the B.C. Liberal government

goes through debate on a $40-billion bud-get tabled before their own leadership contest in February. The B.C.

legislature resumed sitting Wednesday and is expected to continue until June 2.

Dix repeated his promise to offer “positive proposals for change” from a B.C. government that he said has of-fered few ideas since being re-elected two years ago.

Other contenders from the NDP leader-ship retained jobs in a lineup similar to that left behind by James.

MLA Harry Lali is

critic for community and rural develop-ment, MLA Nicholas Simons is assigned to community living and social development.

North Island MLA

Claire Trevena takes over as children and family development crit-ic, and New Westminster MLA Dawn Black is the party’s nominee for as-sistant deputy speaker.

Numbers growing for anti-RV-bylaw activists

If you don’t like the law limiting the size of recreational vehicles on lots and you’re mad as heck and won’t take it anymore – put your name on the list.

You can do that by going to http://www.p u r p l e s o u n d m u s i c .com/bylaws.htm, a website set up by Jacques Blackstone, one of the fighters against Maple Ridge’s bylaw restricting rec-reational vehicles stored at residences to 7.5 metres long.

Once he’s heard from as many people as pos-sible, Blackstone will include the forms as part of his presenta-tion to district council to change the rules.

Maple Ridge district has been besieged by RV owners miffed at re-ceiving removal orders for the vacations-on-wheels from the bylaws department.

Council has put on hold any enforcement action pending a May 2 meeting with own-ers.

Blackstone is happy to see the controversy after waging his own battle over movie trail-ers he stores on his 1.2-acre lot on 128th Av-enue in central Maple Ridge.

He runs a video busi-ness in the movie in-dustry and brings the trailers to movie loca-tions, which means they’re only stored on the property on a intermittent basis. Recently, he added a semi-tractor.

He’s been given two removal orders for his three trailers – orders which he’s

ignored so far. “I’m not complying

because I don’t agree with the bylaw,” said Blackstone, who re-ceived his last re-moval order in mid-March.

He wants council

to change its bylaw so that more than one complaint is required to trigger enforcement action. Instead, when the district gets a com-plaint, bylaw officers should check with all neighbours within the

line-of-sight of the of-fending vehicle.

Only if there’s a majority consensus against the vehicle should enforcement begin.

Otherwise, the dis-trict is acting like a

bully, he said.“This will stop any

malicious calls from a single individual with a personal agenda, vendetta or plainly acting out of malice,” says Blackstone’s let-ter.

KOLOTYLUK Mary

Dec. 19, 1916 ~ April 21, 2011

Mary Kolotyluk, age 94, passed away April 21, 2011. She was born December 19, 1916, in Wostok, Alberta, to Eli and Helen Tanasiuk. She was the oldest of 17 children.

Mary and William Kolotyluk were married August 28, 1937, and they moved from Alberta to Hammond, B.C. She lived in Maple Ridge for the rest of her life. She was an avid gardener and an excellent cook.

Mary was preceded in death by her husband of 48 years, William, and several siblings. She is survived by many sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews. She is loved and missed greatly.

The family is grateful for the care Mary received from the staff at Maple Ridge Seniors Village. Their kindness, gentle-ness, and genuine interest in Mary, especially during her last days, was a comfort to all.

A private service will be held at Garden Hill Funeral Chapel.

QUALLYFrances Jewel

Nov. 25, 1929 ~ April 14, 2011

It is with great sadness that the family of Frances Qually announce her peaceful passing. Frances Jewel Qually (nee Currey) was born in 1929 in rural Saskatchewan, a daughter of a farmer (Samuel Currey) who helped raise her 5 sisters when their mother passed at a young age and her two brothers went off to war.

She was predeceased by her husband Ronald Qually in August 2010. She is survived by their three children; Bill, Stuart (Geraldine) and Sharon. Her grandchildren Nicole and husband Jason Salchert, Morgan and husband Cole Constantinoff, Sara and Amanda, Naden and Benjamin. And by her great grandchildren Jordan, Hannah and Jazlyn.

Fran will be fondly remembered for her eternal optimism, her quick wit and radiant smile. She was an avid golfer, bowler, gardener, skier and loved to play card games with anyone willing to take her on. Being with family and doing for her family was what gave Fran the most joy in her life. She always sought out the best in every situation and every person. Many people would have known Frances from her more than twenty years at Hammond Jewellers in Hammond and Maple Ridge.

She will be forever in our hearts. Thank you to all the friends, family and staff at Ridge Meadows 2nd fl oor West for their loving support during her fi nal days. A celebration of her life will be held in summer of 2011. For more information, please contact one of her three children.

Until we meet again, love your friends and family.


Thank you for all the kind cards and lovely fl owers. Thank you

for attending the service in remembrance of

my husband, Aurele (Boots).
