A Ridge Meadows RCMPofficer who has been chargedwith assault causing bodilyharm for allegedly hitting aman in the face with a flash-light is still on active duty.

Const. Mike Cardinal wascharged in relation to anincident that occurred inFebruary 2008.

It’s alleged that whileattending a complaint of anoisy party in Maple Ridgeand attempting to arrest aman he struck the man withthe flashlight, causing facialinjuries.

BC Ambulance Servicetreated the man at the sceneand he was taken to cellswhere he was later released.

Ridge Meadows RCMPSuperintendent Dave Walshsaid the decision for Cardi-nal to remain on active dutywas made by the command-ing officer of the RCMP’s EDivision.

Walsh said there have beenno other formal complaintsagainst Cardinal, who hasbeen a cop for five years.

Cardinal will face a codeof conduct hearing to reviewhis actions and use of forceand a separate disciplinaryhearing.

“They are awaiting theoutcome of the criminal

case before they hold a con-duct hearing,” said Walsh.

Walsh said Cardinal is cur-rently on active duty withthe street enforcement unit,which investigates grow-ops,drug cases, stolen vehiclesand break-ins.

“At this point in time it isonly an allegation. It has yetto be proved in court andlike anyone he’s entitled tothe fair process of the sys-tem,” said Walsh, addingCardinal has a “fairly exem-plary record” aside from thealleged incident.

“This was an on-duty(incident) while making anarrest and investigating a

house partyc o m p l a i n t .You have toflavour thatwith it’s dark,i t ’s n i g h t ,lots of drunkpeople at aparty and ofcourse whatt r a n s p i r e da f t e r t h a twill work itsway throughthe criminalcourt. That’s

the environment aroundwhich the complaint origi-nated,” said Walsh.

When asked about Car-dinal still being on activeduty while facing assaultcausing bodily harm charge,Walsh said that Cardinal hasbeen on active duty sincethe alleged incident with nocomplaints against him.

“He’s been operational forthe last two years without anincident so why would youturn around and suspendhim?” said Walsh. “Otherthan that one incident he’sbeen a very good officer.”

Cardinal will make his nextcourt appearance on June 14in Port Coquitlam provincialcourt.

“At this pointin time itis only anallegation.It has yet tobe proved incourt.”

No vote for businessesAtask force established

to look at local govern-ment elections has made31 recommendations forchanges, including limits oncandidate and political partycampaign spending and forElections B.C. to investigatecomplaints and monitorcompliance with campaignfinancial disclosure rules.

However, the task forcedidn’t support a cap on cam-paign contributions or a banon donations from unionsor corporations, whichexists in federal elections.The task force also rejected atax credit or rebate for cam-paign contributions and acorporate vote, which wouldhave allowed businesses thatpay taxes in a municipalityto have a vote.

Currently in municipalelections there’s no limiton campaign spending andmunicipal staff are respon-sible for monitoring com-pliance with campaignfinancial disclosure rulesand for investigating com-plaints.

The task force also recom-mended extending the peri-od of time that people couldmake complaints aboutan offence under munici-pal elections legislationand the time under whichcharges could be laid bypolice. Currently people canonly make complaints andcharges can only be laid forsix months after an electionand meanwhile candidatesare required to disclose theircampaign spending within

120 days. If the recommen-dations are accepted, candi-dates would have to disclosetheir spending within 90days and the informationbe published online. Therewould be a spending limitimposed on third partyadvertisers and they wouldhave to disclose how muchthey spent on ads and whocontributed to them.

Bill Bennett, Ministerof Community and RuralDevelopment, said the taskforce decided a cap on con-tributions by one donorwasn’t necessary.

“There’s this underlyingsort of assumption some-times that you can buyelections or you can buythe people in elections andactually it’s quite offensive

to people who are in publiclife so putting a contribu-tion cap on it doesn’t reallychange anything,” said Ben-nett. “I think what’s impor-tant is the public gets to seewhere the money comesfrom...so that if companyXYZ donates $5,000 to somemayoral candidate in Mis-sion it’s going to be clearerafter the election the mayorgot a $5,000 donation fromthat particular company.”

Bennett said campaignspending limits were agreedupon because “that way youcan level the playing field.”

“That way you can sayOK if you want to collect abunch of money you can butyou can only spend X num-ber of dollars in the cam-paign,” he said.

The sound of immacu-l a t e l y p o l i s h e d f e e t

marching to the beat of aharshly-barked order filledthe Maple Ridge air as the1838 Royal Canadian ArmyCadet Corps participated intheir 68th annual review.

The review took placeacross the street from theMaple Ridge branch of theRoyal Canadian Legion,Sunday afternoon (anotherlocal cadet group hosted itsreview on Saturday). Thisyear’s reviewing officer wasJim MacDonald (picturedin the photo on the left), thelocal Royal Canadian Legionpresident.

Activit ies for the dayincluded a rifle drill, a marchpast and several speeches bysenior officers and cadets.

Captain Blake Dalgleish,the upcoming commanderofficer for the 1838 cadets,said the annual review is animportant part of the cadetprocess.

“Every year cadets mustpresent to the communityand regional representative,”he said. “Exemplify[ing] theactivities taken throughoutthe year.”

Along with an evalua-

tion of what happens onthe marching ground, thecadets were also tasked withcreating static displays in thelegion about their training.

Capt. Dalgleish said theevent was important as itgives cadets a formal, year-end parade — an end-goal

they can work towards.“It also shows the com-

munity what they have beendoing, instead of what theycould be doing,” he said.

The soon-to-be-CO saidhe’s seen a lot of success

among the boys and girlsof 1838, many personaladvances in the leadershipability of some of the neweror more timid members.

“What I’m looking for-ward to is advancing that toa senior leadership level,” hesaid.

Conservative MP RandyKamp believes medici-

nal marijuana users who aregetting their pot from a non-profit dispensary that justopened up in Maple Ridgeshould be charged for break-ing the law.

“They have a legal mech-anism to get it throughHealth Canada or to desig-nate someone to grow it forthem so it’s certainly not thatthey’re without options toget it for medical purposes.I think that’s the route theyshould go,” said Kamp.

Kamp pointed out thatHealth Canada doesn’tlicense compassion clubs ormedical marijuana dispen-saries to distribute marijua-na and doing so is contraryto the Controlled Drugs andSubstances Act.

“I think there does needto be a better coordinationbetween Health Canada andlocal authorities, includinglaw enforcement agencies,so they’re aware of who hasthe legal right to be doingthose kind of things,” hesaid.

“It seems to me the law ispretty clear these organiza-tions are operating outsidethe law and my positionhas always been we have toenforce the law or change it,not ignore it.”

Kamp said he organizeda meeting recently betweenHealth Canada and the Dis-trict of Maple Ridge to dis-cuss The Always GrowingGreen Society’s ( TAGGS)medicinal marijuana dis-pensary that opened up inMaple Ridge in early May.

“I think they heard somethings they hadn’t reallyheard as clearly before interms of how the program

has been abused perhaps ormisused,” said Kamp.

Maple Ridge council senta letter to Kamp asking himto lobby Health Canada tostart verifying that medicinalmarijuana users are comply-ing with federal legislationand regulations.

TAGGS gives out medici-nal marijuana to peoplewho have federal govern-ment permission to use it orto people who have a doc-tor’s letter stating it wouldhelp alleviate their medical

symptoms.Under federal government

regulations people with per-mission to use medicinalmarijuana can buy it fromthe government, they canget a permit to grow it them-selves or they can desig-nate someone to grow it forthem.

However, no one is allowedto grow medicinal marijua-na for more than two HealthCanada licence holdersand compassion clubs likeTAGGS aren’t legally allowedto distribute it.

However, several suchclubs have sprung up in B.C.in recent years in Vancouver,Victoria and Kelowna as wellas Maple Ridge.

Ridge Meadows RCMPSuperintendent Dave Walshtold Maple Ridge council

recently that police wouldn’tcharge anyone involved inthe new dispensary unlessthey get approval from thefederal Department of Jus-tice to do so.

Brock McDonald, direc-tor of business licencing,permits and bylaws, hastold council TAGGS doesn’trequire a business licencebecause it’s operated by anon-profit society.

Council has been wres-tling with how to deal withthe dispensary.

A s t a f fr e p o r t t ocouncil notedthat the “sud-den appear-a n c e o f acompassionclub dispens-ing medicinalmarijuana toits membersfrom a housein a residen-t ial area ofMaple Ridgei s c a u s i n g

great concern in this com-munity.”

The report argued lack ofenforcement of medicinalmarijuana access regula-tions by Health Canada “hasleft local government bear-ing the burden of trying toregulate these operationswith limited jurisdictionalability and very few, if any,enforcement opportunities.”

The report noted thatpolice and fire departmentshave identified safety issuesaround marijuana grow-opsincluding increased risk ofbreak ins and home inva-sions, health issues for chil-dren living in houses wheremarijuana is grown andincreased risk of fires, chem-ical spills in sewer systemsand injuries to growers andtheir families.

The Maple Ridge-PittMeadows school dis-

trict will only offer remedialcourses in summer schoolthis year and no advanceplacement courses, andthe spaces will be allocatedbased on need.

Last year about 1,050 stu-dents attended summerschool for both remedialand advanced placementcourses, but this year fewerthan 700 students will betaking remedial courses asschool district officials saythere isn’t enough supportin place to offer good qualityinstruction in a four-weekperiod.

The school district hasallocated spaces for summerschool for each high schooland teachers will recom-mend students forthose classes basedo n a p p l i c a t i o n sreceived.

“ T h e i d e a i sschools are going tosend kids who aremost in need of thecourse,” said DrewClutchey, principalof summer school.

Students who takeadvance placementcourses during sum-mer school don’t getthe quality of edu-cation they wouldget during a regular schoolyear, Clutchey said.

For example, as an Eng-lish teacher, he said stu-dents completing an Englishcourse in 20 days are notgoing to get the reading,writing and critical thinkingskills they would get in a full-year or semester course.

“We want to run summerschool for kids who need it,”Clutchey said.

Stewart Sonne, director ofsecondary instruction withthe school district, said whenstudents attend school fromSeptember to June, the qual-

ity and variety of instruc-tion should take place in an“engaging, interactive man-ner,” with assessment andcommunication with par-ents taking place throughoutthe year as well as interven-tion when needed.

But, when 1,050 studentsattend summer school,Sonne said in an email,as was the case last year,“I wonder what is missingbetween September 1 andJune 30 that does not allowstudents to succeed?”

“In bringing together over1000 students for four weeksof learning cannot possiblybe an effective and efficientoperation,” Sonne said.

With more students atsummer school than are reg-istered at three of the highschools, Sonne said he wasconcerned that there isn’tenough support in place.

At summer school,there is only oneadministrator andthere are no coun-sellors or supportteachers.

“Is it reasonablethinking to allowa school to oper-ate when managingbehaviours cannotbe assured or wherelearning is not opti-mal,” Sonne said.

Sonne said sum-mer school receivedno extra funding last

year from the school districtand was fully funded by thefunds allocated for summerschool by the Ministry ofEducation.

When a student is regis-tered in a summer schoolcourse for an advancedp l a c e m e n t c o u r s e, t h eschool district receives twiceas much in funding as whenstudents are registered inclasses during the regularschool year.

Secretary-treasurer WayneJefferson said there is nomoney allocated for sum-mer school this year.

receives only $400 to teacha full course to students dur-ing summer school, whereasduring a regular school year,the district gets about $800to teach the same course.The school district gets $200to teach a remedial course insummer school.

Sonne said it’s not “reason-able” to offer programs thatare a “net loss” for the dis-trict, but added the schooldistrict is “committed toensuring deserving studentsreceive another opportunityto succeed.”

“The ideais schoolsare goingto sendkids whoare most inneed of thecourse.”

The District of MapleRidge’s manager of corpo-rate communications, Sabri-na Del Monte, is no longerworking at the district afteronly four months and thedistrict isn’t saying why.

Del Monte started workingfor the district on February 1

and her last day was May 27.John Leeburn, execu-

tive director to the chiefadministrative officer, saidhe couldn’t discuss why DelMonte is no longer with thedistrict because it’s a per-sonnel issue.

Leeburn said the district

will reconsider people onthe short list during the pre-vious hiring process andpossibly hire someone thatway or they may re-advertisethe position.

Leeburn said he doesn’tknow when a replacementwill be hired.

Metro Vancouver CrimeStoppers has received morethan 2,000 tips on gang-sters and their crimes sinceenhancing its tip line in April2009, executive director TimKelley said Monday.

And the number of anony-mous gang-related tips is up23 per cent over the previousyear, Kelley said.

The B.C. government gaveCrime Stoppers $250,000 lastyear to increase its ability tocollect tips about gang vio-lence through its traditionalanonymous phone line, viatext message or through asecure online form.

Since then, 2,172 tips onmurders, abductions, drugoffences and gun crimeshave come in, Kelley said.

“That is big news for us,”he said. “That is the biggestpart of this...they can give usinformation without havingto worry about reprisals orabout testifying in court oranything like that.”

Kelley said the increasein tips likely comes from

the anti-gang campaign theagency has run. But he saidit is also related to the high-profile of gang crime thathas swept through the LowerMainland over the two years.

B.C. Solicitor General Mikede Jong said the increase intips is encouraging.

“The threat of retaliationis a very real fear for peoplewith information aboutgangs,” de Jong said Monday.“The success of this initia-tive is proof that if given theopportunity to do the rightthing without personal risk,people will make the callthat can keep themselves,their families and their com-munity safe.”

Supt. Doug Kiloh, whoheads the Combined ForcesSpecial Enforcement Unit,said the confidentiality ofthe information “is guaran-teed in law. The increase invaluable information hashelped expose the mythof trust within the gangs,decreased criminal activ-ity, and reduced violence.

Anonymous confidentialinformation is crucial toinvestigators combatinggangs and organized crime,”Kiloh said.

Metro Vancouver CrimeStoppers president BobMann said the media hashelped immensely by get-ting the word out.

“We are thrilled by thepublic response to therequest for anonymous tipsabout gang-related criminalactivity. We offer a servicethat allows citizens to pro-vide information, free fromthe fear of reprisal. The ser-vice is available province-wide. Our key message to allBritish Columbians is ‘Youremain anonymous, crimi-nals don’t’.”

Staff at the Ridge Mead-ows Hospice Thrift storeon 224 Street are frustratedwith after-hours dumpingaround their building. TerryBrandow works in the Hos-pice Thrift Store building fora separate business, Tum-blestone Emporium, but heobserves the behaviour. Shesaid, “I have watched peoplein our community dump-ing garbage, furniture etc...everything they don’t wantonto the steps of the Hos-pice Thrift Store.” They havetried to combat it by postingsigns, but Brandow said “thedonation hours are postedand still the piles continueto appear.”

The trouble is it’s a non-profit and the thrift store

is run almost entirely onvolunteers. Brandow said“many of these volunteersare seniors or people withchronic illness or disabili-ties. The hospice and volun-teers have no way of movingfurniture or disposing of gar-bage.”

Instead of the profitsfrom the thrift store goingtowards palliative care, griefcounselling and other ben-eficial services, it has to gotowards gas and disposingfees for the unwanted items.The piles are disposed of by“imposing on friends, a fewgood people and family,”said Brandow.

The consequence of notremoving the stuff is dump-ing fines, to be paid for bythe hospice if it stays over-night. This results in staffand volunteers driving to

check the parking lot repeat-edly every few hours dur-ing this past long weekendto check for dumped items.Then, quite often draggingripped and broken furni-ture into their building toavoid the fines, or having itremoved at their own cost.The donation system meantto benefit the society isbeing abused, and hinder-ing them. “Someone needsto speak out for the Hospiceso they can continue to sup-port the community withtheir essential services” saidBrandow.

Brandow herself felt thebenefits of the hospice dur-ing a time of need. “Hospiceneeds to continue in MapleRidge, and the communityneeds to support them fortheir support to continue”said Brandow.

The Salvation Army will beopening a family shelter at amunicipally owned house at12061 222 Street this sum-mer.

Ma p l e R i d g e c o u n c i lapproved the Salvation Armyusing the house for a one-year pilot project to helphomeless families. Councilalso approved a communitygrant of $6,200 in 2010 and$3,100 in 2011 for the proj-ect. The Salvation Army hashelped 17 homeless familiesover the last two years. Fiveof the families came for helpin the last four months.

Salvation Army CaringPlace director Darryl Pilgrimsaid the shelter doesn’t cur-rently have room for fami-lies and so they have to putthem in the boardroom orsend them to other commu-nities. However, kids then

have to be taken out of theirschools.

“The main thing it will beable to do is help familiesfeel stabilized,” said Pilgrim.“For the children they knowthey’re staying in a shelter. Ifit’s a house... they can keepsome level of stability.”

Pilgrim said the need hasbecome increasingly evidentbecause more families arecoming for help, especiallyfor meals.

“It seems to be that there’smore families that are at riskand that’s our major con-cern. We feel like it’s impor-tant to have the service readyfor them when they need thehelp,” he said.

Pilgrim said the lack ofaffordable housing is themajor issue.

“It’s the rent prices and thelow rent(al) stock. There’snot a whole lot of rentalproperties in the whole Low-er Mainland. Anything new

being built now is condos,”he said, adding the cost ofliving keeps going up.

“Gas prices have gone up,groceries have gone up, allthat stuff has gone up butwages haven’t gone up. Evenfor people who are workingit’s very difficult,” he said.

Pilgrim estimates the Sal-vation Army would helpbetween 10 to 15 familiesa year at the family shelterand the goal would be for thefamilies to stay for less than30 days. Salvation Army staffwould bring three meals aday to the family and staffwould work with them to findlong-term stable housing.The Salvation Army wouldaccept referrals from AlouetteHome Start Society, CytheraHouse, Alouette Addictionsand other agencies.

2008


Don’t focus on non-issuesIt’s no secret that these are

among the most challengingtimes major media outlets inCanada and elsewhere have everfaced.

Shrinking advertising revenuesare the least of their problems.The digital era has ushered in aplethora of new ways for con-sumers to get their news andinformation. This is particularlythe case with young people who,for the most part, couldn’t imag-ine themselves sitting down towatch the evening news or pickup the daily newspaper.

Several traditional media out-lets have already folded. Oth-ers have downsized. Some haveamalgamated and content shar-ing is now the norm in an industrywhere “scooping the competi-tion” was once paramount. Mosthave incorporated digital contentand completely revised their ser-vices to survive and thrive in thenew communications era.

Still, I get the sense that bigmedia outlet in this country havea much more serious challengethan making themselves accessi-ble and technically relevant in thedigital age. They have to acceptthat they no longer control theagenda. In days gone by with onlya handful of influential mediasources available, a select groupof organizations could determinewhat information was or was notimportant or newsworthy. It thenbecame a matter of which newsorganization could best providecoverage.

All that has changed.Despite thousands and thou-

sands of pieces of reporting,investigation, analysis and com-mentary, Canadians still don’tgive a hoot about the so-calledJaffer-Guergis affair. No matterhow hard media has triedto turn this into a scandalof Watergate proportionsit’s clear the public is notinterested and the storyhas resonated with noone outside the Ottawapress.

Ditto for the docu-ments related to theAfghan detainee issue. Ifthere’s a single Canadianlaying awake at nightwondering if the execu-tive branch of the federalgovernment knew aboutalleged improper treat-ment of a prisoner of war,he or she has yet to come public.Yet the national press is adamantthis is the crime of the century.

It was the same with the mostrecent prorogation of Parliament.To the media (and a few dozenuniversity professors) shuttingdown Parliament ahead of sched-ule was a constitutional crisis ofepic proportions and surely thedeath knell of democracy. To therest of us, it was one big yawnerof absolutely zero consequence.

These three issues; Jaffer-Guer-gis, transferring detainees, andprorogation have absolutely dom-inated the news this year. Onewould be hard pressed to assem-ble any hundred other storiesthat have received half as muchcoverage as this triad of trivial.For all the hyperbole and foam-ing at the mouth, these “crises”have had no impact whatsoeveron people’s voting preference.

Personally, I have half a dozenover-lapping social circles con-sisting of long-time friends from

high school days, musi-cians, academics, beer-drinkers, co-workers andmore beer-drinkers. Ihave not heard one per-son among these utterso much as a word onJaffer’s lobbying, someAfghan getting smackedwith a shoe on his wayto custody or StephenHarper shutting downParliament. Not oncedid a student, in classor casually, raise any ofthese issues in my pres-ence.

Canadians have been wellserved by the country’s long-standing media. I hope mostof them continue to adapt andpersevere. But until they realizethat beating a non-issue to deathwill not force people to tune intosomething they have no interestin, all bets are off.

G8/G10 billsoutrageous

Laughing at Toronto’s misery — weather,traffic, any of its professional sports fran-chises — is a popular pastime for us disen-franchised hippies out here in Lotus Land.

But as details of the security measuresto be put in place for the two-day G8/G20summit in June continue to emerge, therest of Canada might well want to join withTorontonians and ask: Why are we payingfor this and what’s the point?

Ten thousand police, 1,000 private securi-ty guards and uncounted military and SWATpersonnel will put the city core behind tworings of steel and essentially shut it down asfirmly as the CN Tower will be. The cost ofthis muscle: more than $1 billion.

Will economic benefit accrue to Torontoand Canada from hosting this political two-ring circus? Doubtless some of the policeovertime will find its way back into theeconomy, but there is little or no payoff interms of tourism.

In fact, the level of security at any interna-tional gathering is now so disruptive, envel-oping and costly, that taxpayers should beasking why world leaders can’t meet in loca-tions already considered secure: the WhiteHouse or Camp David spring to mind.

Or how about video conferencing?

In a remarkable bit of backwards thinking,the B.C. Court of Appeal has put handcuffson a law enforcement initiative that wasreducing the impact of pot grow operations.

It started with a case brought by two resi-dents of Surrey who refused to allow safetyinspectors to enter their home as long asthey insisted on being accompanied bypolice officers. The inspectors were abid-ing by provisions of B.C.’s Safety StandardsAct that allowed municipal inspectors todemand entry into anyone’s home to do anelectrical safety inspection if, because ofunusual power consumption, they suspect-ed the home was being used to grow pot.

The Appeals Court ruled that such inspec-tions violate the Charter of Rights andFreedoms, and that in future, administra-tive warrants will be required. That wouldstill allow the inspections to take place, thecourt maintains, but would reasonably pro-tect individual privacy.

And it would give marijuana growers theheads up they need to clear out. Once again,law enforcement gets the run-around, andcriminals get the breaks.

Editor:Re: MP responds, TIMES

Mailbag, May 28MP Randy Kamp’s letter in

the TIMES clearly shows usthat there needs to be great-er scrutiny of MP’s expenses.Mr. Kamp states that thepresent level of scrutiny is sohigh that if his office placedan ad in the newspaper andit did not bear his name andcontact information it wouldbe rejected as an invalidexpense.

Well, duh. This example issupposed to make me feelconfident with the presentsystem? Incidentally, Mr.Kamp has managed to spendat least $85,000 of taxpayers’money on blatant politicaladvertising.

Mr. Kamp also notes thatMP’s expenses are alreadyposted online. This is true,but they are lumped into10 broad categories and tellyou very little about whatan MP’s expenses reallyare. A good example is the$223,585 listed under “Staffand Other Expenses.” I’mhoping next year to put adeduction of $13,567 on myincome tax form and list itas “other.” I’m wonderingif I will be able to elicit Mr.Kamp’s help when RevenueCanada rejects my claim.

As taxpayers, we shouldbe able to see where, andon what, MP’s are spendingour money, right down tothe last penny. We are theiremployers. They work for us.Sometimes I think when wesend these folks to Ottawathey forget who the boss is.

Flag wavedEditor:I have read about land-

owners determined to keeptheir land and acronymslike ALR and OCP tossedaround.

I have come to the con-clusion that Maple Ridgemeans a lot to a core groupof people and if you are newto town you should thinktwice about backing the tra-ditionalists into a corner. Ihave also decided to planmy departure from MapleRidge because this is not mykind of town. It needs decentshopping, it needs big-boxstores.

Maple Ridge needs a lot inmy opinion. However, I amnot going to try and changeit. The traditionalists in thistown are stubborn, holdingonto outdated thinking andthey can have their town.I am moving on because Ineed to live in the presentand not the past. They winand I am waving the whiteflag.

Gord ParkhurstMaple Ridge

Council supportEditor:As a long-time resident

and homeowner in MapleRidge for 40 years, I am dis-mayed at the pressure tac-tics being used on the mayorand council by the Residentsfor Smart Shopping in theirMay 25 letter.

There is a large elementof our population, includ-ing new residents, who donot want to see prime landblacktopped and becomejust another shopping cen-tre. The Albion area is fartoo beautiful an area to suf-fer this fate, just so a few cansave minutes getting to theirshopping destination.

The development of theAlbion flats is inevitable,but we are delighted tohave a mayor and council,supported by an excellentstaff, taking proper time toexplore the best use for thisunique piece of land. Manyof us have submitted ideasover the years that include a

cohesive blend of protectionfor the wildlife and streamsthat are there, multi-purposefarming, recreation facilities,education and tourism...yes, even a bit of shopping.Something for all to use andenjoy.

What we do not requireis for this beautiful area tobe buried under asphalt forthe sheer need to save a fewminutes and acquire cheap-er goods. Once the Albionarea is gone, it is gone andcan never be reclaimed.

We have an alternative andthat is to restore the down-town core to the great shop-ping it had back in the 1960sand ‘70s. We should supportthe local merchants whohave supported the com-munity for all of these yearsand to encourage new retailbusinesses to locate there. Acentral shopping area wouldbenefit all residents, includ-ing seniors and those livingin all neighbourhoods...notjust the eastern fringes.

The Residents for SmartShopping closed their recentletter by stating that if mayorand council do not give in totheir demands, they would“not forget about this comeNovember 2011” when theelections come up.

This is a sword that cutstwo ways. There are many ofus who will support the cur-rent council for taking thetime to preserve this area bydeveloping it correctly forthe good of all residents.

Why a Non-Commission New Car Sales Team?

Companies like JD Powers have asked consumers for years what they like and dislike about

spending their hard earned dollars. A consistent message is that Consumers do not like

feeling pressured into making purchasing decisions. Buyers want access to information,

empowering them to make informed buying decisions. The purchase environment is

critical to that feeling, and creating that environment is our primary function as a business.

We held focus groups and had questionnaires responded to by over 3500 people and the

consensus was clear. People are more comfortable when they know the sales person is

not being paid a commission for the sale based on the amount the customer pays for the

product.

With that information and our goal to provide our customers with the best possible

experience when they are purchasing a new Honda, we have launched this concept.

We are proud to be the 1st Franchise Honda Dealerships in Canada to introduce this to

the market. Our Sales team is trained and coached to provide the customer the tools and

resources needed to make that informed decision, in an environment that is friendly and

relaxed. No pressure, no hassle.

Our “Best Price Guarantee” is our assurance that we will do the best we can, every time

with every customer.

We would like to invite your family, to come in and meet our family to purchase your next

New Honda.

PRESS RELEASE

1stFranchiseHondaDealershipin Canada

NO PRESSURE!

NO HASSLE!

NO KIDDING!

Why a Non-Commission New Car Sales Team?

Companies like JD Powers have asked consumers for years what they like and dislike about

spending their hard earned dollars. A consistent message is that Consumers do not like

feeling pressured into making purchasing decisions. Buyers want access to information,

empowering them to make informed buying decisions. The purchase environment is

critical to that feeling, and creating that environment is our primary function as a business.

We held focus groups and had questionnaires responded to by over 3500 people and the

consensus was clear. People are more comfortable when they know the sales person is

not being paid a commission for the sale based on the amount the customer pays for the

product.

With that information and our goal to provide our customers with the best possible

experience when they are purchasing a new Honda, we have launched this concept.

Looking for some ideas andhints for decorating on a

budget? Follow these tips fromColin McAllister and JustinRyan, HGTV’s popular hostsof Home Heist.

Some ways to do morefor less:

Paint - Painting a room isrelatively inexpensive and willelicit maximum results forminimum effort.

Do it yourself, but do itproperly - Do what you canyourself, but don’t be a “have-a-go hero” if you’re simply notup to the job in hand. Thinkhow much you’d save if youcould actually paint, tile ormake curtains - and then esti-mate how much wasted timeand cash there would be ifyour home became a series ofbotched jobs. Yup, if DIY’s notyour thing, then try DFY.

Use what you’ve got - Raidthe basement, fish out gran-ny’s old dresser and give ita facelift. A lick of paint andsome new handles could haulit out of the darkness andmake it worthy of becomingcentre stage, once again, inyour home. Or reach for the

sewing machine and makesome new slip covers for yourdated sofa. Or drill holes andadd some shelves to a datedarmoire to turn it into a mediacentre which could happilyhouse your TV or DVD. Alwaysthink out of the box and lookat things differently.

Move things around - Some-times, a good clear up and achange of orientation can beall that’s needed to freshenproceedings and provide awhole new look. So, with thisin mind, move your sofa tothe other side of the room, tryyour bed on another wall, orsimply clear clutter and rear-range accessories to re-dressyour space.Swap skills - OK,so you’re handy with a sew-ing machine, but know noth-ing about electrics. What yougoing to do about your ter-rible kitchen lighting? Holdon a minute ... Your next doorneighbour’s a friendly electri-cian, but he has terrible cur-tains ... Why not offer to makesome fabulous new windowdrapes in exchange for fittingsome overhead lighting?

Shop second-hand stores- Second hand doesn’t haveto mean second best, so castyour decor net around char-

ity stores, newspaper notices,online auctions, estate salesand salvage yards for somefabulous home bargains. Butremember our motto; “thinktwice, buy once.” Just becausesomething appears to be abargain, it doesn’t mean youshould have it. Avoid snatchand grab impulse buys andinvest instead in classic piecesthat are solid enough to standthe test of time. Or buy itemswhich can be transformedinto useful pieces. We’ve re-upholstered many an old sofaon Home Heist, only to giveour homeowners their favou-rite couch back - but by thistime, dramatically restyled.

Search out the scratch anddent - Ask around larger furni-ture stores to discover whetherthey offer discounts on scratchand dent damaged items, cus-tomer returns or even last sea-son’s stock. Some departmentstores have dedicated clear-ance centres, so it’s well worthscouting around. We regularlybuy Home Heist sofas fromThe Bay’s clearance centreand they’re always fabulous!Remember our other motto;“It’s not how much money youspend, but how you spend itthat makes all the difference.”

A tractor pulls the Pitt Meadows Day youth colour party during the parade down Harris Road.

Come out and celebrate some Pitt Meadows history at atraditional event that started during the Great Depres-

sion.Janet Melissen is the Vice President of Pitt Meadows Day

and describes it as a “free event to bring families together, agreat day for families.” Some highlights are Miss Pitt Mead-ows and the fireworks. Melissen has worked with the eventfor over 12 years and reports that in past years “it rarely rainson Pitt Meadows Day.”◗ The pancake breakfast hosted by the Lion’s club starts at

7 a.m., followed by the parade at 11 a.m. One can expect tosee over 60 different bands, businesses, school, and com-munity organizations, as well as others in the parade. Theywill have decorated cars, floats and flat bed trucks but alsocyclists and marchers. George Coghlan, who organizes theparade, described it is a “celebration of the community. It’sa time when we can get together as an extended family andcelebrate our identity as Pitt Meadows.”

He also adds that new entries are welcome. Coghlandescribed the parade last year as the “people lined the streetsin lawn chairs, watched and cheered on the parade, we hada terrific time.”◗ The Opening Ceremonies begin at 1 p.m., which will

include the Lynn Papp Award and the crowning of Miss PittMeadows who becomes part of the Royal Family. Louise Sev-erinski has been involved with the event for more than 20years and organizes the Royal Family. Severinski describesthe event as a “great day to get to see everyone you don’t seeregularly. It gives the kids something to be proud of.”◗ Youth Fest also starts a 1 p.m. at the Pitt Meadows Recre-

ation Centre. There will be live bands, a BBQ and ice cream.◗ For anyone wanting to splash around, the Harris Road

Spray Park will be open all day.◗ The Pitt Mead-

ows Museum willbe featuring “Tex-tiles by Design” from11 a.m. to 3 p.m.Hoffman and SonsGarage will holdingkids crafts from 11a.m. to 3 p.m.◗ Family Activities

start at 1 p.m., whichinclude a bouncyc a s t l e, yo g a a n dmartial arts demos,a rock climbing wall,

Norden the Magician and more.◗ The Salmon and Chicken barbecue is hosted by the Pitt

Meadows Fire Department and starts at 5 p.m. Louise Sev-erinski also talks highly of the family dance that starts at 6:30p.m. by the members of the Royal Family having a dance withtheir mothers and fathers. Severinski says at the dance it is“neat to see all the different generations together; kids withtheir parents, grandparents and sometimes great-grandpar-ents all dancing together.” She often gets asked what kinds ofmusic will play, but assures it will be appropriate, similar tomusic heard at a wedding.◗ Fireworks wrap up the night, put on by the Pitt Meadows

Fire Department at 10 p.m. The website sums it up nicelyas, “Generations of family visit and celebrate the annual PittMeadows Day gathering.”

Lynn Papp AwardThe Lynn Papp was a member of the Pitt Meadows Day

Society before her sudden passing in 2000. Lynn was a dedi-cated volunteer and could always be counted on to help outwith fundraisers and events. Christine Wood had the plea-sure of working with her and said, “she was one of the nicestpeople and very dedicated to her task at hand.” It is in herhonour that a youth be recognized who displays her spirit ofgiving without expecting anything in return. This volunteeraward recognizes an individual who has made a significantcontribution to the community.

The recipient must be a Pitt Meadows resident betweenthe ages of 12 and 18 who “participates in community basedactivities and projects, giving freely of their personal timeand energies, without expectation of personal reward andrecognition” according to the nomination form. Wood alsosaid “the Lynn Papp Award is a lovely way to remember herand also to recognize a dedicated young volunteer in thecommunity each year.”

Blast from the past for the BC Lionsas den moves back to Empire Field

Construction is almost complete on the temporarystadium at Empire Field that the BC Lions will callhome for the 2010-11 season.

The home opener in the Lions’ temporary den willbe on June 21 against Edmonton. For some fans, itwill be a brand new experience. For others, it will pro-vide a taste of the past.

“We have a tremendous opportunity in 2010 to pro-vide our fans with a season to remember as we returnto the birthplace of Lions football for the first time in 27years,” said George Chayka, the Lions’ vice-presidentof business.

The one-year move to Empire Field became neces-sary following the announcement late last year thatconstruction on a new retractable roof for BC Placewould not be completed until July 2011. The BCLions will host the 99th Grey Cup at BC Place inNovember 2011.

TransLink has boosted service linking to Empire Fieldquite significantly since the Lions last played there.Service on Hastings Street and links from the NorthShore and from the Millennium SkyTrain Line will givefans great connections to the games, and TransLinkwill offer “special events” boosts in service for gamedays. Check out www.bclions.com/page/parking-and-transportation for ready-made transit options toEmpire Field, along with driving directions and parkinginformation.

Completely enclosed on all four sides with anapproximate seating capacity of 27,500, the newLions’ den at Empire Field will be a cosy fit for fans.Individual seats totaling 20,100 will run along the sidelines and another 7,400 bench-style seats will occupythe end zones.

Sideline seats between the goal lines will be cov-ered and a limited number of private boxes will also beconstructed along with media facilities, concessions,stadium level lighting, scoreboards, a video board andwashrooms.

Quick Facts:• Location: Empire Field at the PNE,

previous site of Empire Stadium

• Seating capacity: 27,500 seats -sideline seats will be covered

• Number of private boxes: 12

• Number of seating technicians requiredto build stadium: 50-60

• Materials: Approximately 2,500 tons,enough to fill 160 40-foot containers;much of the stadium mater ia ls wi l leventually be reused

• Stadium lighting will allow games tobe played at night

The BC Lions are heading back to their old turf this season,when they return to Empire Field. photo courtesy BC Lions

“I have ferns volunteeringby the concrete of the house.Do you think they will causeproblems to the concrete?”

MaryE-mailIf they’re volunteering in

cracks in concrete, yes, theycan cause trouble.

Plants create enormous,slow pressure that makescracks widen. If the plantsremain a long time and getvery large, the cracks canexpand so much they makemore cracks where moreplants can volunteer - wors-ening the problem. But ifthese ferns are in a garden bedbut next to concrete, they’llexpand unhindered in threedirections and will be fine.

In England, I saw a plantwe used to call ‘Coltsfoot’( Tussilago farfara) whichpunched its way up througha concrete driveway. Overabout five years it grew intoa big patch breaking up the

concrete all round. Araliatree suckers can push upthrough asphalt. The pow-er of plants is slow, but it’sabsolutely awesome!

“We have a 10 - 15 yearsold wisteria at the base of ametal clothesline pole. It hassurrounded the pole andsends out branches that fol-low the clothesline so wehave to trim it. By now itnormally has flowers andwould be leafing out. WhenI scraped the branches theywere green under the bark.How can we bring it back tolife?”

DorisE-mail

ANNEMARRISON

GardenGossip

Wisterias are noted forvigor and longevity. It’s veryunusual to have one, whichhas failed to flower and hasno leaves either.

But the time for leafingand flowering depends ontemperature - and we havehad several weeks of weath-er five or six degrees colderthan normal. It’s very likelyyou’ll get flowers as soon aswarmer weather arrives. Ifyour wisteria is on a northslope, or in part shade, nor-mal flowering/leafing couldbe a tad later than wisteriasin warmer, sunnier spots.

Incorrect pruning canreduce the number of flow-ers, but shouldn’t stop wiste-ria from leafing out.

“I have a 25 year old jadeplant in a large terracottapot. The smaller branchesare shriveling and falling off.The soil is very hard. I thinkmy jade needs replanting.Do I have to break the pot?Would it be easier to breaksome branches and re-startthem?”

Dayna WalkerVancouverBy dropping branches,

your jade plant is telling you

it’s ready to be propagated.This is one of the ways manysucculent plants spread.Your easiest route is startinga Jade plant from a branch.

If you repotted it, most ofthe branches would fall off.You could replace it in thesame pot if you root-prunedit, but a small, new re-root-ed branch would be muchshapelier and less work.

I don’t think you’d need tobreak the pot, but compact-ed soil makes the plant hardto dislodge. It might loosenmore easily if you run a long,thin knife around the inside

of the pot. I keep two long,thin ex-kitchen knives espe-cially for gardening.

I repotted a large jadeplant once. The roots werevery fine and so shallow theydidn’t penetrate the lowerhalf of the pot. Many desertplants have shallow rootsthat spread over a large areato gather as much rainfallas possible. That’s also whythey often grow at widely-spaced intervals.

On DeckMoney doesn’talways equalsuccess in sports

A new study has foundthat spending more moneyon innovation may not bethe best improvement strat-egy in sports.

“Wealth can play a rolebut there is no conclusiveevidence that it is the primedriver of innovation,” saysSFU business professor PeterTingling, co-author of Feastor Famine: Does WealthHelp or Hinder Innovation inSport?

In a study of NHL entrydraft decision-makingbetween 1997-2004 Tinglingand co-researcher KamalMasri conclude that levels ofinnovation are not likely tobe improved by simply add-ing more funding.

“Although drafting pro-cesses and player assess-ment are one of the fewareas where teams are freeto innovate, this doesn’tappear to be happening.”

Tingling suggests only afew of the “comfortably richteams” such as the San JoseSharks and Buffalo Sabreshave pursued truly innova-tive approaches such as useof statistical analysis andthe creation of the “Corsi”number, a measure of shotsdirected at the net, namedafter Sabre’s goalie coachJim Corsi. He adds that fis-cally challenged teams likeEdmonton or Phoenix mayclaim to be “innovativelystifled,” while “filthy rich”Toronto or even Chicagomay cave to “an aura ofcomplacency.”

“It would seem that theprevailing approach formany teams is to pursue astrategy of quantity ratherthan quality, where wealthyteams have simply addedor supported the expenseof more scouts and greatertravel,” Tingling says.

An informal survey of NHLgeneral managers showsthat less affluent teamshave recently cut back ontheir scouting budgets whilewealthier ones (Torontonow has 20 scouts and theleague average is 13) areincreasing it to take advan-tage of their financial capa-bilities.

Mitch Thompson/TIMES

Sam Gunnell of the Ridge Meadows Blue Royals slides in to home a second too late to be safe in Saturday’s Peewee AA game against the Abbotsford Angels. The Roy-als managed to tie the game 8-8. Ridge Meadows hosted the Don Breu PeeWee AA Invitational Tournament a week ago in Pitt Meadows.

The Maple Ridge Bur-rards beat the CoquitlamAdanacs 11-8 on Sunday inWestern Lacrosse Associa-tion action at Planet Ice.

Despite Coquitlam open-ing the scoring within 47seconds of the game start-ing, Maple Ridge was ableto stay in the lead most of

the game.The first period ended

with the Burrards leading4-3 after Derek Lowe scoredtwice and Aaron Davis andJarrett Davis added a goalapiece.

Lowe was in a scoringmood again in the sec-ond period and added two

more to the scoreboard forthe Burrards. Coquitlamscored one and the periodended 6-4 for Maple Ridge.

In the third period, AaronDavis got the Burrards offto a good start with a goalpast the Adanacs’ netmind-er followed by one fromAndrew Murphy and the

Burrards had double thescore of their opponents– 8-4.

Coquitlam tried a come-back with two quick goalsto bring the score to 8-6.The rest of the game wentback and forth with JarrettDavis, Aaron Davis andLowe scoring one more

goal apiece to give the finalscore of 11-8.

TheMapleRidgeBurrardsare tied with Coquitlam forthird place with six pointsand a 3-3 record so far.

The Burrards play nextSunday at 6:45 p.m. atPlanet Ice against the visit-ing Nanaimo Timbermen.

Burrards beat cross-river rivals 11-8

The hockey academy atPitt Meadows Secondary hasexpanded to the elemen-tary level and has two after-school groups operating inan elementary hockey acad-emy setting.

Pacific Rim Hockey Acad-emy, in partnership with theMaple Ridge-Pitt Meadowsschool district, launched theacademy at PMSS in 2004.

“ I t b r i d g e s t h e g a pbetween academics andtheir sport of choice,” saidRPM’s Craig Millin, adding

that students have to main-tain their grades to stay inthe program. “No matterhow much you love hock-ey, it doesn’t come at theexpense of your academics.”

On ice, the academy hashelped players improve andplay to the level they desire,with 35 graduates havinggone on to play beyond theminor hockey system.

The Pacific Rim HockeyAcademy has also expandedto other school districts aswell. The new elementary

hockey academy in MapleRidge and Pitt Meadowsoperates after school withtwo groups totalling 45 kidsin Grades 4 and 5 (Atom),and Grades 6 and 7 (PeeWee) students.

RPM also runs a 3-on-3weekend summer hockeyleague, which originallybegan at the Pitt MeadowsArena but has expandedto Planet Ice this year. Fiveyears ago they started with18 teams and this year have67. The school district has an

open boundary policy whichallows students to remain atthe school of their choiceand participate in the PittMeadows Secondary hockeyacademy.

A p p l i c a t i o n s f o r t h esecondary hockey acad-emy and elementary hockeyacademy are being acceptedfor September 2010. Any-one interested in learningmore about the Pacific RimHockey Academy can accessinformation online at www.rpmhockey.com.
