Slot machines now at bingo hall Two more

100 slot, five Racebook
machines installed as part
of million-dollar expansion
by Phi l M elnyc h u k
staff reporter
Not a word of advertising has
been done, but that didn’t stop peo-
ple from filing through the doors of
the Maple Ridge Community Gam-
ing Centre Friday, sitting down and
plunking cash into the buzzing,
blinking, blaring slot machines.
Great Canadian Gaming Corp.
started the expansion of the Haney
Bingo Plex on 224th Street earlier
this year, a renovation project that
exceeded a million dollars, and last
week did a “soft launch” of the new
facility. The grand opening takes
place Thursday.
“This gives our staff the opportu-
nity to work out any bugs.
“You can clearly see people want
this. They’ve come on their own
without any advertising,” said
Howard Blank, vice-president with
Great Canadian Gaming.
By lunch hour, 40 people already
were sitting at some of the newest
models of slot machines, 100 in all.
Five Racebook machines have also
been installed for off-track bet-
ting for race tracks across North
America.
The expansion and installation
of the slot machines, however, is
just temporary until Great Ca-
The expansion and slot machines are a temporary upgrade until Great Canadian builds its new facility in Maple Ridge.
nadian builds its gaming centre
on Lougheed Highway and 227th
Street. That’s expected to be done
in three years.
For Bob, who wanted to remain
anonymous, the slot machines
mean he no longer has to drive to
Boulevard Casino in Coquitlam. He
goes to Coquitlam to play the slots,
and have dinner – an evening out
for about $50. “That’s it and then
we leave.
“Set yourself a limit, and that’s
it.”
But he wondered if there would
be enough room for parking. How-
ever, Great Canadian has secured
an extra 34 stalls in the new lot on
Selkirk Avenue, as well as the cus-
tomary stalls to the west of the bin-
go plex, as well as street parking.
The renovations will boost ca-
pacity from about 500 seats for
bingo to about 700 with the addi-
tion of the slot machine section.
June, who also wished to re-
main anonymous, is a regular
bingo player, but also welcomed
the slot machines. “It’s OK, as
long as you can control it,” she
said.
“I pay all my bills first and
Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
whatever’s left over, that’s my en-
tertainment dollar.”
With more than half of the slots
occupied, Blank pointed out there
were still the usual numbers in
the bingo section of the building.
“Obviously, it’s not taken away
from the bingo, it’s just adding
more.”
The slot machines means mon-
ey in the coffers of the District of
Maple Ridge. Ten per cent of the
net income from the slots will go
to the district, for special projects.
However, Blank couldn’t estimate
annual revenues from the slots.

Pitt rave rape
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
Police have recommended charges
against two men in connection with
the rape of a teenage girl last month
at a party in Pitt Meadows.
Ridge Meadows RCMP have pre-
pared a package of information for
Crown counsel proposing charges of
distributing child porn against one
adult male – as well as a more seri-
ous charge of sexual assault causing
bodily harm against an 18-year-old
man.
A 16-year-old boy was charged last
month with one count each of pro-
ducing child pornography and dis-
tributing child pornography.
“This is the first time police are
making public the proposal of a
charge against a third individual, re-
lated to the circumstances of this as-
sault,” said Sgt. Peter Thiessen.
The 16-year-old girl was raped at
“Another Night in Bangkok,” a party
held on a farm at 12993 Harris Road,
Sept. 10. Investigators believe that as
many as 12 people witnessed the inci-
dent and “more than one individual”
participated in it.
The 16-year-old boy charged with
distributing child porn allegedly took
photographs of the rape, then shared
them with friends by cellphone. They

At the heart
No final decision has been made yet, but com-
ments from the south coast panel of the Agricultural
Land Commission last week indicate that the Pelton
property won’t be taken out of the reserve.
That’s good for the Kanaka business park, which is
built but still pretty much empty, and the new busi-
ness park being built near the airport in Pitt Mead-
ows. We’re not sure what this means for the Albion
flats, which is still in the planning stages but could
include an industrial component.
But overall, we think it’s good for Maple Ridge.
Leaving the Pelton’s 152 acres in the agricultural
land reserve not only preserves potential farmland,
but that around it – historical and active farms run
by the Laity, Hampton and Davison families, original
settlers.
This area, close to the dikes and featuring an abun-
dance of wildlife and dark rich soil, is the true heart
of Maple Ridge.
Also, such a decision – to keep it farmland – would
show that the land commission can’t be fooled by a
council that tried to pull a fast one on its constituents
– pushing through the application at warp speed with
no public consultation. Council tried to tell residents
what was good for them without asking what they
wanted; it was a transparent and insincere effort to
help the Pelton family get more rich quick.
Council boasted that such a park on the Pelton
land would generate tax revenue and provide jobs,
but there were no assurances that those jobs would
go to local residents. There was no measure for the
community to have a say in what could be done with
the land had it come out of the reserve. It was never
demonstrated that there was even demand for such
a park.
The Pelton family, which has provided good pay-
ing jobs for many in this community for 40 years,
can’t be faulted for trying. But this council should be

perhaps as a street
person’s farewell to
another golden summer in B.C.’s most
peed-upon city.
This sort of flagrant offence against
decency would still have shock value
in most B.C. communities, but here in
Victoria the likeliest reaction would be,
“Hey, you’re on the wrong street.”
The Pandora Avenue squat, as it
came to be known, was this sum-
mer’s politically correct theatre of the
absurd, and as usual it was not rated
for family viewing. A filthy little tent
city sprang up on a broad downtown
boulevard across from one of the local
homeless handout services, migrating
in from local parks.
Public peeing was among the milder
problems on Pandora. This was well
illustrated by its sudden end in Sep-
tember.
The Victoria News reported that a
core group of drug dealers was picked
up in an undercover police buy-and-
bust operation at the Pandora squat.
Overnight the tent city vanished. A
combination of cooler weather and the
closure of the crack-and-meth bazaar
nities around the province in the aban-
donment of community standards. And
nobody surrenders quite like Victoria.
This is a town that wilts like let-
tuce before an invasion of feral bunny
rabbits. It’s a town that celebrates an
urban design award for its downtown
urinal, an expensive but oh-so-artistic
response to the monsoon of doorway
peeing that pours down after the bars
close.
The city’s response to a court ruling
limiting its ban on camping in parks
was timid even by Victoria standards.
Hounded by the “homeless” and their
“advocates” at every step, city council
finally passed a bylaw declaring camp-
sites on boulevards to be banned as a
traffic hazard.
By the time they got it done, the sum-
mer squat had folded. Along the way it
was revealed that at least some of the
campers weren’t homeless, having had
“social” housing provided to them, and
that shelter beds had also been sitting
empty.
The shelter beds are significant from
a legal as well as a common-sense
point of view. The court ruling had said
the city couldn’t prevent people from
putting up tents, but only if there were
no shelter beds available. But appar-
ently verifying homelessness would
have been too harsh.

Minister Rich Coleman was on Sean
Leslie’s CKNW radio program the
other day, talking up B.C.’s efforts to
get people off the street.
“It’s a town that celebrates
an urban design award for its
downtown urinal, an expensive
but oh-so-artistic response to the
monsoon of doorway peeing that
pours down after the bars close.”
He did allow that the southwestern
corner of the province does have a
couple of different factors to consider.
“The big one is probably weather, so
we do get some in-migration at times of
the year because the weather is differ-
ent in other areas of Canada,” Coleman
said, demonstrating his mastery of
understatement.
Warm weather and weak local gov-
ernment are a bad combination.

Our vision focused on
the river side of the Albion
lands with an idea of con-
necting across the tracks
and Lougheed Highway to
the fairgrounds side. What
is important here is the fact
that we have the rail line and
the West Coast Express. We
could not wish for a better
set of infrastructures. This
has to be taken into account
in the most serious way and
has to play a key role in de-
veloping these lands in an
efficient way.
This plan uses only 20 per
cent of the south side for
mixed uses and preserves
the balance for job generat-
ing uses.
By the way, TransLink
should not dictate where the
station goes, but the overall
plan should; the station is
there to serve the plan, not
to direct it.

then finally get a looped
system connecting not just
east-west but north-south.
We absolutely need to focus
on opportunities that pro-
mote more density and less
sprawl. This is such an op-
portunity. It is also a respon-
sible thing to do with respect
to the legacy to our next gen-
erations. We cannot continue
to allow sprawl to eat away
at remote, cheap land (cheap
for developers but expensive
ultimately for taxpayers) and
put more demand on services
that this sprawl requires that
our grand kids will have to
pay for. This is what I would
call a bad investment and
planning.
The proposed vision
would include a small core
with condos and retail set
around a waterfront experi-
ence, much like Granville Is-
land, but on a smaller scale.
Surrounding this core, a
set of concentric rings of
business parks, light in-
dustrial, would provide a
rejuvenated Albion district
with jobs and associated
housing, negating the re-
quirement for lengthy com-
mute. A Main Street would

could not be used by big box

COMMISSIONER-AT-LARGE Sat, Nov 6, 8:30pm
After being arrested by police for ha-
rassing and breaking into her house,
Grant was held in custody at the North
Fraser Pretrial Centre, awaiting a bail
hearing. While inside, phone calls to his
mother requesting she get his girlfriend
to drop the charges were taped by po-
lice, which led to Grant being charged
with obstructing justice.
Grant’s most recent encounter with
Ridge Meadows RCMP took place Sept.
16, when an officer tried to pull over a
pickup truck with Mexico licence plates
on Dewdney Trunk Road, near 232nd
Street. Grant refused to pull over and
accelerated away, going east.
Officers used spike belts twice in an
attempt to stop the pickup and it finally
pulled into a driveway off 269th Street,
where Grant jumped out and tried
to flee. He was eventually taken into
custody after being tackled by two of-
ficers.
When police searched the pickup
truck, they found it was equipped with
police sirens and flashing lights. A
switch to activate the equipment was
located near the driver’s door.
Grant’s lawyer admitted his client’s
driving was “appalling,” but explained
the lights and sirens were in the car be-
cause Grant is a volunteer firefighter in
Mexico, where he spends a significant
amount of time.
Grant was handed an 18-month pris-
on term for dangerous driving on top of
the four years for the trafficking, weap-
ons possession and other offences. He
also received an 18-month driving pro-
hibition and has to forfeit $20,000 of his
bail.
The pickup truck with sirens and an
aircraft found in the hangar were also
surrendered.

Halloween business PROFILE

Come in for Your Local

Costume Fabric Store
Ideas! There are a variety of possible reactions to the closure
of a local business: some customers choose to shop
elsewhere; others change their buying habits; still oth-
ers decide to try and Àll the void in the local economy
themselves.
When Fabricland’s local outlet closed, Richila Fabrics
partners Richard Richard and Hilary Talbot chose the
latter course.
“Hilary used to work for Fabricland, and when they

i l a

PHONE: 604.477.0910 FAX: 604.477.0911 of other projects.
Richard said making your own clothing or furniture
coverings offers a unique touch that you won’t get
with pre-made items bought in conventional stores,
and it’s starting to become quite a popular movement.
He said business was slow at Àrst, but it has come
along over time as more people have found out about
the store.
NOT JUST A FEED STORE ANYMORE! “It’s quite difÀcult to get the word out, [but] our busi-
ness is improving all the time,” he said.
Richard said the key to the store’s success has been
focusing on providing consumers with whatever
fabrics they’re looking for. If the store doesn’t have a
particular fabric on hand, customers can often order it
in from one of Richila’s national suppliers. They get
material from wholesalers all over the country.
“We concentrate heavily on the personal-service
aspect,” Richard said. “We go out of our way to get
fabrics people want. We also order in from Montreal
and other places in the east.”
Richila has fabrics for just about any project you
plumbing • electrical • painting supplies • housewares could imagine, including dresses, chair coverings,
garden supplies • farm supplies • pet food and supplies educational projects and quilts.
“We have lots of fabrics for school projects, Áannels,
tools • cleaning supplies • fencing • and of course, livestock feed! Áeeces, dancewear, the skating costumes,” Richard
“We basically focus on fashion,” Richard said. “We
have fabulous stuff for bridal dresses and dancewear.”
Another aspect of Richila’s service-oriented philoso-
phy shows up in the incentives the store offers to
repeat customers, such as a list they can sign up on to
receive substantial discounts.
“We offer a 10 per cent discount to customers on our
list,” Richard said.
Richard said he and Hilary have opted to focus pri-
marily on fabrics instead of offering pre-made items,
although they do sell notions as well, as that allows
them to stock a wider selection of fabrics and appeal
to more customers.
“We just sell fabrics,” he said. “We don’t have any
pre-made products.”
Richard sees a lot of value in offering a place for local
residents to buy fabrics without going a long way. He
feels there’s a real interest in fabric locally, one that
wasn’t being served after the closure of Fabricland.
That inspired him to open the business, and that’s
why he’s still in it.
“Come support us,” he said. “We’re here and we’re
local.”
The store is located in Suite 180 of 22255 Dewdney
Trunk Road. They’re open Tuesdays through Satur-
days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, and they can

With time winding down in the first half, the Ma-

the Dukes, the No. 1-ranked team in the province,
the lead.
The Marauders had plenty of chances in the sec-
ond half, but they were unable to tie the game.

you fumble the ball in the end zone, it’s still a touch-

The Marauders frustrations on offence didn’t end
there, as the team missed a pair of field goals, and
took a number of penalties.
Despite coming up short on the scoreboard, Hol-

“For the role he was thrown into, he has done an in-

our defence to get the job done.”

WEST COAST AUTO GROUP
Connecting to Community Key to Success
The West Coast Auto Group has
been around since 1953 in one
incarnation or another. Starting
with a single Ford dealership, the
company has expanded to include
four dealerships as well as a
detail and accessory centre, an in-
house credit acceptance service
and in-house leasing.
The Jones family has run the
business since E.G. (Ted) Jones
bought it in 1963; his grandchil-
dren, Scott Jones and Michelle
Jones-Ruppel, now oversee the
company’s operations. The group
offers many beneÀts, but the
individual dealerships have their
own unique qualities, according
to managers at each location.
West Coast Ford Lincoln
The West Coast Ford Lincoln
dealership carries a lot of compa-
ny history, as it was the original
business that led to the formation
of the group. It started as a Ford
dealership in 1953 and added the
Lincoln/Mercury brand in 1971.
Last year, it moved to a new,
larger facility, which manager
Nelson Morven said has boosted
business signiÀcantly.
“It’s deÀnitely helped,” he said.
“I believe it’s the biggest Ford
dealership in all of B.C.”
In addition to more showroom
space, the new facility has 20
service bays, which has allowed
the dealership to expand service
offerings signiÀcantly. Morven
said the new facility has been a
key to the dealership’s success
at a time when many car dealers
have been struggling.
“We’re sort of bucking the trend,”
he said. “We’re over 140 per cent
of our target.”
Morven, who’s been at the deal-
ership since 2005, said another
key to the recent success has been
Ford’s innovative new models
that offer a mix of performance
and fuel economy.
“What’s unique is the new prod-
ucts we have coming out, like the
2011 Mustang with the Àve-litre
engine,” he said. “It produces 410
horsepower and gets 37 miles to
the gallon.”
Trucks remain key to Ford’s
success, and Morven’s optimis-
tic about the 2011 F-150, which
is available with a 6.2-litre V8
engine.
“The truck is our bread and but-
ter,” he said. “[The F-150] has
incredible horsepower and great
fuel economy.”
For those who don’t need quite
that much power, there are even
more economical options like the
new Fiesta.
“It gets 55 miles to the gallon,”
Morven said.
The variety of new models has
led to strong sales across the
board, he added.
“It’s really good to be a Ford
dealer right now.”
More than just products, though,
Morven said his dealership’s ac-
complishments depend on staff,
around the group.
“There’s no secret to success; if
you surround yourself with good
people, you’ll be successful,” he
said. “It’s a closely-knit family.”
West Coast Mazda
The West Coast Mazda dealer-
ship has been around for almost
25 years. General sales manager
Peter Herbert joined the dealer-
ship in October 2009 and he said
he’s seen an upswing during his
time there thanks to economic
improvement.
“Consumer conÀdence is starting
to come back,” he said.
Herbert’s worked at other Mazda
dealerships before, but said the
Pitt Meadows/Maple Ridge mar-
ket is quite different.
“The consumer out here is much
more receptive to what we’re
offering in terms of incentives,”
he said.
At the moment, those incentives
include up to $8,000 in cash cred-
its on certain 2010 models, Visa
gift cards worth up to $1,250 with
the purchase of certain models,
no payments for 90 days and
zero-percent Ànancing.
Their new models come with
some impressive features as well,
according to Herbert.
“I’m most excited about the 2011
Mazda 3,” he said. “It comes
from the factory with dynamic
stability control.”
That’s a traction control system
that can automatically track if the
car is going into a skid and work
with the antilock brakes to cor-
rect it. Some competing models
www.westcoastautogroup.com
offer it as an extra option, but it’s
standard on the new Mazda 3.
Herbert said all companies may
be required to make it standard
down the road, but Mazda has
already done that.
“That’s a one-up on the competi-
tion,” he said.
Herbert said being part of the
West Coast Auto Group offers
his dealership a lot of beneÀts.
One of the biggest is the ability to
steer buyers to other group deal-
erships if they decide on a dif-
ferent make of car; with Mazda,
Toyota and Nissan dealerships,
the group covers much of the im-
port market and can let potential
buyers try models from all three
companies.
“We have a lot of cross-shop-
pers,” Herbert said.
That Àts well with the sales ap-
proach Herbert favours, which
is providing buyers with all the
facts about both Mazda models
and their competitors.
“What stands out the most is our
level of transparency,” he said.
“We’re all about education.”
West Coast Toyota
The West Coast Toyota dealership
has been part of the company
since the 1980s. General sales
manager Randy Saunders joined
the dealership in 1997, and he
said it’s changed dramatically
since then.
“The business has grown,” he
said. “When I joined the compa-
ny, we were doing less than 300
new cars a year. The business has
grown to 1,200 new cars a year,
plus used cars.”
Saunders said the recent econom-
ic crisis was a step back, but the
dealership is recovering nicely.
“The last couple years have been
difÀcult for all of us in the auto
business, quite frankly,” he said.
“This year, the market is up in
Maple Ridge by 13 per cent ac-
cording to [auto industry survey
company] R.L. Polk, and Toyota
is up by more than that.”
Saunders said being part of the
West Coast Auto Group was
particularly helpful during the
tough times.
“It gives us the ability to weather
difÀcult economic times better
than a single-point dealership,”
he said.
There are beneÀts to the group
afÀliation even when times are
good, though.
“I think we can do some things
better than a single-point dealer-
ship,” Saunders said. “We can
pool our strengths and provide
different services to our custom-
ers.”
Some of those services include
cross-shopping, in-house Ànanc-
ing, and in-house leasing. It’s
more than just services, though,
as the group also sponsors several
local charities and causes, includ-
ing annual dry grads for high
school students. Saunders said
connecting with the community is
key to the dealership’s success.
“We believe we will get back
tenfold in goodwill from what we
put out to those efforts,” he said.
Saunders said another key to the
dealership’s recent accomplish-
ments has been Toyota’s new
models, which emphasize fuel
economy without sacriÀcing per-
formance. He’s particularly ex-
cited about some of the hybrids,
including the Prius, Camry and
Highlander hybrid varieties.
“We have to change with the
times,” Saunders said. “Toyota
has always been a very forward-
thinking brand.”
West Coast Nissan
The West Coast Nissan dealership
is the newest of the four, entering
the West Coast Auto Group in the
early 2000s. Sales manager Dan-
iel De Bartolo, who’s been with
the dealership for three years,
said it has already found incred-
ible success.
“Last year, we were the No. 1
new dealership in B.C.,” he said.
“We sold more new Nissans than
any other dealer. We’re on pace to
sell more than that this year and
again be No. 1.”
De Bartolo said the key to suc-
cess has been improving the
typical car-shopping experience
for customers.
“We have a lot more of a friendly,
open environment,” he said.
“The sales staff really enjoy what
they’re doing.”
He said another critical element
of the dealership’s recent success
has been Nissan’s wide-ranging
lineup of new models.
“We have everything from
real small cars to hybrids to an
electric car to half-ton trucks,”
he said.
One model he’s particularly
excited about is the new Nissan
Juke, which is a crossover that
seeks to combine the beneÀts of
small cars and SUVs. It features
a turbocharged 1.6 litre engine
and all-wheel drive, providing
a balance between handling and
economy. De Bartolo said it’s
quite different than anything
that’s come before.
“It’s a market that hasn’t been
made yet,” he said.
Nissan also has the electric Leaf
coming out in the spring, and the
relaunched Quest minivan arriv-
ing in January.
“It’s going to be like no other
minivan,” De Bartolo said.
Another factor in his dealership’s
success, he added, is its focus on
offering a strong lineup of pre-
owned vehicles.
“We pride ourselves here on
really having a good pre-owned
department,” he said. “We carry,
in my opinion, the best variety
of pre-owned cars. We don’t just
have pre-owned Nissans, we have
pre-owned Cadillacs, Volkswa-
gens, Fords.”
De Bartolo said that variety
makes their dealership an attrac-
tive place to trade in a car.
“We always get the most for
people’s trade-ins,” he said.
Being part of the West Coast
Auto group is also essential to
the Nissan dealership’s success,
thanks to its history and reputa-
tion.
“The biggest thing is that people
feel completely comfortable
here,” he said. “Being under that
umbrella gives consumers the
extra conÀdence.”
