The crumbling, empty shells of a
once-notorious townhouse complex
in downtown Maple Ridge will bite
the dust in a few weeks.
Vancouver developer Ghalib Rawji
stressed Monday he has every inten-
tion to demolish Northumberland
Court as council prepared to take ac-
tion against the Fraser Street prop-
erty.
Rawji bought the complex last year,
after years of municipal and police
frustration at controlling the drug
haven.
He later bought the lot immediate-
ly to the west, with access to 224th
Street, so he could build more apart-
ments, as well as ofce space.
However, Rawji is currently saddled
with a lawsuit launched by the previ-
ous majority owner of the townhouse
complex, Jagdev Jack Athwal.
Athwal led the lawsuit in January,
alleging Rawjis company, Northum-
berland Fraser Street Holdings Inc.,
reneged on conditions agreed to when
it lent Athwal more than $300,000 to
clear title on the townhouse complex.
In a response to Athwals claim led
in New Westminster Supreme Court,
Rawji states that it is Athwal who has
defaulted on the mortgage, a prom-
issory note and is in breach of the
agreement.
New owner, however, saddled
with lawsuit from previous one

Millions
in sale of
city land
The City of Pitt Mead-
ows is looking to sell-off
4.67 hectares of farmland
in Bonson so it can be de-
veloped into townhomes
and low-rise apartments,
a move that could net the
city millions of dollars.
Pitt Meadows Chief Ad-
ministrative Officer Jake
Rudolph said the property
is worth multi-millions,
and will provide the city
with a much-needed cash
injection.
Well see what the
market is prepared to pay
for the property... but we
expect it should generate
a strong response from
developers across Metro
Vancouver, he said.

A new compost plant proposed within a few
hundred metres of the Pitt Polder Ecological
Reserve will be environmentally friendly and
not pose any risk to the surrounding water
table, say its proponents.
Golden Eagle Ranch Inc. is hoping to build
the two-hectare plant, which will process more
than 23,000 metric tonnes of organic compost
annually, to fertilize upwards of 80 hectares of
organic blueberry elds the company operates
in Pitt Meadows.
Golden Eagle Ranch is part of the Golden
Eagle Group and owned by the Aquilini In-
vestment Group, which owns the Vancouver
Canucks.
The Golden Eagle Group owns more than
2,000 hectares of farmland in Pitt Meadows,
covering more than 23 per cent of the citys
total area.
While the composting process can create
toxic liquids which can leach into the ground-
water, Golden Eagles environmental manager
John Negrin says a 10- to 15-centimetre-thick
concrete pad and a 3,550-cubic-metre, lined
goody pond to collect compost leachate will
prevent that from happening.
Negrin also downplayed concerns about
truck trafc through Pitt Meadows, saying
the plant will likely only see a maximum of 10
dump truck trips per month.
By producing their own organic compost to
fertilize their elds, Negrin said Golden Eagle
can reduce its consumption of commercial fer-
tilizers, which is good for the environment.
This is a green product were using, he
said.
The plant will truck in chicken and horse ma-
nure from Golden Eagles surrounding farm-
ing operations, and mix that with wheat straw
from Washington State and gypsum powder
from Alberta.
The mixture would then cured outside, un-
derneath a 6,300-square-metre covered struc-
ture, nearly the size of 1.5 football elds.
The compost would then be trucked out for
used at a mushroom farm in Abbotsford, and
after 45 to 60 days, trucked back in for use in
Golden Eagles farms.
Its a great application, because you get two
uses out of one product, which means less con-
sumption of fertilizers, Negrin said.
With the nearest residential property more
than ve kilometres away and upwind, Ne-
grin said the odour from the decaying manure
wouldnt be noticed.
There wont be any odour under our man-
agement practices, he said. Our golf course
is next door, so we want to make sure theres
no smell.
The water used in the composting process
would come from Golden Eagles existing wa-
ter license, and the process uses a minimal
amount of water, Negrin contends.
We dont want to have any excess water in
the compost because that makes it heavier and
more expensive to transport, he said.
However, a group of local environmentalists
is concerned the water the plant may draw
could lower the water table, causing potential
harm to the nearby ecological reserve.
They still havent told us how they will mon-
itor the water table, said Amanda Crowston,
executive director of the Alouette River Man-
agement Society. Given their track record of
water use in Pitt Meadows, we would expect
more due diligence in regards to their environ-
mental practices.
Five numbered companies owned by the
Aquilini Investment Group currently face six
charges under the Water Act, including divert-
ing water without authority, illegal use of wa-
ter, and installing a pump into the river without
authorization, after installing a 45-centimetre-
wide water intake pipe in the North Alouette
River in 2009.
Crowston said ARMS also has concerns
about the leachate and methane gas that would
be produced by the compost as it decomposes,
and how it will be handled.
These are dangerous substances, she said.
And the facility is right next to Pitt marsh.
Its a very delicate ecosystem.
Last week, Pitt Meadows council voted to
support Golden Eagles application to the Ag-
ricultural Land Commission to allow the plant.
Because the plant will be using gypsum pow-
der in the process, the compost production is
considered a non-farm use, and requires a spe-
cial exemption.
This is a normal farming activity, Negrin
said. Were just centralizing it.
ARMS, however, still has concerns
The provincial body tasked with
protecting farmland is assuring
neighbours who allege a farmer is
dumping ll on his property that ev-
erything is being done by the book.
The Agricultural Land Commis-
sion visited Hang Chos farm, on
224th Street past 132nd Avenue, last
week and did not nd any viola-
tions.
Commission executive director
Brian Underhill explained the work
being done on the property is still in
progress.
Mr. Cho is a farmer who is work-
ing on constructing berms and farm
roads as part of those berms, said
Underhill.
We understand there are some
concerns in the neighbourhood, not
only about the ooding, but what
is going his property. He is follow-
ing the regulations under the [Ag-
ricultural Land Commission] Act.
We fully recognize that there may
be other regulations and rules that
could apply that could involve the
District of Maple Ridge, the Min-
istry of Environment and Depart-
ment of Fisheries and Oceans or
other agencies.
The ll dumping has been permit-
ted by the Agricultural Land Com-
mission because it is considered a
farm use.
However, the Alouette Valley As-
sociation and Chos neighbours
believe the ll will only exacerbate
ooding in the low-lying neighbour-
hood.
A hydrology study done by the
district, released last month, found
that raising or in-lling of land on
the ood plain displaces water and
relocates the ooding problem to
other properties.
It recommended the district con-
sider a strategy for ood manage-
ment that ensures new or upgrad-
ed ood protection structures do
not adversely increase the overall
ood hazard.
The neighbours question why the
land commission and District of Ma-
ple Ridge did not wait for a hydrol-
ogy study to show the ll on Chos
property wouldnt displace water
and allege the farmer is trying to
make a quick buck by allowing de-
velopers to dump on the site.
The agricultural land commission
insists it is closely monitoring the
property with district staff.
We understand that he has a
consultant doing those studies,
said Underhill. Our understanding
is that there has been some good
information thats been provided to
the contractor ... to clarify what he
is doing is consistent with the regu-
lations.
The property the soil is being
loaded on is also up for sale for $1
million and being advertised online
as a site in the Agricultural Land
Reserve that has the potential for
a development.
Underhill said the sale of the prop-
erty would not play into the land
commissions considerations.
At the end of the day, the works
are not only being monitored, but if
there is work to be completed, then
whoever owns the property next
will be expected to carry through,
he added.
Bruce Hobbs, a member of the
Alouette Valley Association, which
has worked hard to mitigate ood-
ing in the area, believes the Agricul-
tural Land Commission is out of line
with its own regulations.
The big thing lacking is that
everyone keeps talking about the
right to farm as if its some sacred
cow, said Hobbs.
Nobody talks about the provision
in the act which states that this right
is tempered if it endangers neigh-
bouring properties. The ALC refuse
to address this part of the act.
Under the act, although road and
berm-building can be approved as
a farm use, the activity must com-
ply with local regulations such as
stream setbacks.
As well, soil removal or placement
of ll can be permitted as long as it
does not cause danger on or to ad-
jacent land, structures or rights of
way, or foul, obstruct or impede
the ow of any waterway.
Hobbs says the work being done
is now within the 30-metre ripar-
ian zone that is meant to protect
sh habitat and a stop work order
should be issued by the district.
But the district insists Cho is fol-
lowing the bylaws.
The people that live down there
should not have to prove to the ALC
that the activity is dangerous, said
Hobbs.
Work should just be stopped un-
til the ALC and Cho can prove that
it is not dangerous. This is not un-
reasonable and is in line with their
own act.
Farmer is following the rules: ALC

Thousands turned out for Country Fest
this year on the hottest weekend this sum-
mer. so far.
We lucked out with the weather, says
Lorraine Bates, general manager of the
Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Agricultural As-
sociation.
However, the lousy weather leading up to
the festival kept Bates guessing.
I had to recongure the fairgrounds three
times this year, she said about making
plans for potential rain.
Usually, were watering to keep the
grounds green, she continued. But this
year, [the ground] was sodden.
Bates was happy with the crowds that
turned out Friday evening for the music fes-
tival, especially since it was the rst year the
festival was offered.
But the larger crowds came out on Satur-
day and Sunday.
Overall, attendance was about the same
as last year, said Bates.
Since it is a free event, it is difcult to get
a denitive attendance number, she add-
ed. From the parking, Id say were about
14,000.
Bates was most impressed with the 1970s
tribute bands that played Saturday evening.
We had to bring in three more bleachers
to the stage, Bates said about the big turn-
out.
She was also impressed with the church
service Sunday morning that represented 13
churches in the community.
A lot of people come from out of town and
camp on the grounds, said Bates, and so they
dont have to go off site if they are church-
going people.
In addition, there were more 4-H clubs than
ever before.
One of the Islands clubs, who have been
here before, but this year they brought their
whole club, Bates said.
As a nal testament to the great weather
enjoyed by fair-goers, by the end of it Sun-
day evening, the beer garden had only three
cases left.

The property is lo-
cated south of Airport
Way, north of the Os-
prey Village develop-
ment, and is currently
zoned agricultural.
However, the area is
designated as medium-
density residential un-
der the Citys Ofcial
Community Plan, and
is not part of the Agri-
cultural Land Reserve.
The city will support
rezoning for the right
project, Rudolph said.
We will be looking
for a good quality devel-
opment to go in there,
he said.
The OCP allows for 31
to 100 townhouse or low-
rise apartment units per
hectare, meaning up
to 467 residential units
could potentially be
built on the property.
Rudolph said the de-
cision by the city to sell
now was based on cur-
rent market conditions
being good.
The municipalitys
nancial situation is
also something to fac-
tor in, he added.
Pitt Meadows has had
to resort to borrowing
more than $11 million
in the past two years to
pay for upgrades to Pitt
Meadows Arena and
build the South Bonson
Community Centre.
Rudolph said the sale
of the land will put the
city in a better position
to fund future capital
projects.
Ihor Zalubniak, a re-
altor in Pitt Meadows,
said the city property is
a unique opportunity.
This is one of the last
developable pieces of
land in Pitt Meadows,
he said. Theres noth-
ing else here like that.
More than 85 per cent
of land in Pitt Meadows
is in the Agricultural
Land Reserve or the
regions Green Zone,
protecting it from de-
velopment.
The city is currently
entertaining expres-
sions of interest from
developers and plans
to make a short-list of
up to ve proponents
to respond to a more
detailed request for
proposals later this
year.
The deadline for ex-
pressions of interest is
Sept. 30.
Rudolph expects the
parcel to be sold by
early 2012.
Developers are be-
ing asked to come up
with a design that in-
tegrates with the style
of the nearby Osprey
Village development,
and incorporates green
building standards.
The developer would
also be responsible for
building a green corri-
dor along the western
edge of the property,
providing a natural
trail connecting Os-
prey Village to the
Pitt Meadows Athletic
Fields.
The president of Music B.C.
is sounding off and throwing
his hi-hat in the political ring
as a candidate for the NDP in
the provincial riding of Maple
Ridge-Mission.
Bob DEith, an entertainment
lawyer and long-time advocate
for arts and culture, announced
his candidacy Friday and said
the province needs to change
its tune.
I have seen a provincial gov-
ernment that has brought in
policies which hurt our hard
working citizens, from shift-
ing tax to consumers with the
HST, to taking gaming funds
away from charities, to cutting
funding to arts and culture, to
dismantling legal aid to the
most vulnerable in our society,
to crippling our court system,
added DEith, who has lived in
Maple Ridge for nine years.
DEith was
the executive
chair of the
Vancouver
2009 JUNO
awards host
c ommi t t ee
and was in-
strumental
in creat-
ing the $5.2
m i l l i o n ,
seven- year
artist devel-
opment program with the Pat-
tison Broadcast Group, called
the Peak Performance Proj-
ect.
He has also been active on
local and national boards, in-
cluding the City of Vancouvers
cultural tourism strategy task
force.
Locally, DEith is concerned
about the affect of the harmo-
nized sales tax, as well as the
impending teachers strike,
public transportation issues
such as the Evergreen Line and
gas taxes, agricultural land re-
serve issues and the state of lo-
cal hospitals.
I also see a lot of need for
change, specifically in our
area, said DEith.
I feel like its time to step up
and get involved.
Although a date has yet to be
picked for an NDP nomination
meeting in Maple Ridge-Mis-
sion, the riding association is
preparing should a provincial
election be called in fall. Mike
Bocking, who has run several
times for the NDP in federal
elections, is the other candi-
date who is will be seeking the
nomination.
In Maple Ridge- Pitt Mead-
ows, the NDP is sticking with
its incumbent candidate, MLA
Michael Sather.
The B.C. Liberals, meanwhile,
are supporting incumbent MLA
Marc Dalton in Maple Ridge-
Mission.
With no date set for an elec-
tion, riding association presi-
dent Craig Rudd said the as-
sociation is in a wait-and-see
mode.
Were just being as pre-
pared as we can be and moving
ahead, he added.
The annual general meet-
ing for the B.C. Liberals Maple
Ridge-Pitt Meadows riding as-
sociation is set for Sept 15. No
candidate selection meeting
has been set.

THE NEWS/opinion
VICTORIA The
B.C. government has
released its audited
public accounts for
what Bill Vander
Zalm enthusiasts
strain to depict as
Year One of the Har-
monized Sales Tax
Apocalypse.
So lets survey
this allegedly bleak
landscape of shut-
tered hair salons and
seniors hoarding
pet food, waiting for
Belgian bureaucrats to come calling for
more.
Retail sales increased 5.3 per cent in
2010. Growth has softened so far this
year, but theres no evidence its due to
the HST. (Retail sales are mostly goods,
which are mostly unaffected.)
B.C.s economy grew by four per cent,
third in Canada behind those new north-
ern tigers Saskatchewan and Newfound-
land. We beat Alberta as well as have-
not Ontario.
The provincial decit dropped by near-
ly a billion dollars, even though spending
on government services continued its
relentless rise with another billion-dollar
increase. Thats four per cent spending
growth, the same as the growth rate of
the economy. But as usual, two thirds of
it is health-care spending, growing closer
to twice that fast.
Hair salons? My barber voted No to
Vander Zalm. His accounting is simpler,
his price is still reasonable and custom-
ers arent generally prepared to start
cutting their own hair.
Restaurant association head Ian Tos-
tenson predicted thousands of restau-
rants would close because of HST, and
then mused about running for premier.
Fortunately, we were spared from both
of these scenarios.
Finance Minister Kevin Falcon put out
some spin about how tight-sted spend-
ing control brought the decit down
from the 10-gure range. Prudence, he
called it. Prune juice is more like it.
It was economic growth that paid the
bills, with mills and mines opening and
consumers spending. Former premier
Bill Bennetts observation still applies:
B.C. is a small, open resource economy
in a volatile world market.
Commodity markets have strengthened
to the point where even the rising Cana-
dian dollar is being overcome. Expansion
to Asia is proceeding, assisted by a long-
term federal-provincial strategy that the
NDP opposed. A skilled labour shortage
already exists in the B.C. northeast and
is forecast to spread across the province.
The governments latest labour market
survey estimates that B.C. will be in a
labour shortage by 2016, and there will
be one million job openings by 2020. One
third of these will come from economic
growth, two thirds from retiring baby
boomers. Unlike next years HST rev-
enues, this prediction is relatively easy
to make with precision.
Job growth does depend, however, on a
competitive tax environment, with com-
petition from Ontario and elsewhere.
The public accounts also conrm what
we found out last fall, that HST revenues
have run ahead of expectations. HST
haters like to claim the tax was prom-
ised to be revenue neutral. That nance
ministry estimate was only for the rst
year, and it proved pessimistic. As with
gasoline prices, external forces drown
out B.C. tax adjustments in the short
term.
Currently it looks as if going back to
the old provincial sales tax will cost the
treasury about $600 million in revenue in
each of the next few years. HST rate cuts
are made up by economic growth.
Or we can return to a 60-year-old retail
sales tax developed for a post-war, pre-
service economy, and continue a B.C.
political debate that revolves around
30-year-old socialist ideology. The decit
will immediately jump back up to the
10-digit range.
So if your HST referendum envelope is
still in the bottom of your recycling bin,
you might consider shing it out and
casting a No vote. They have to be deliv-
ered to Elections B.C. by Aug. 5.

THE NEWS
Currently it looks as if going
back to the old provincial sales
tax will cost the treasury about
$600 million in revenue in each
of the next few years.
Count drinking and driving as another ele-
ment of the 20th centurys car culture thats
been left behind in the 21st century.
The province recently made the obvious deci-
sion to keep tough rules introduced 10 months
ago that have worked to curb the carnage
caused by intoxicated drivers.
Across B.C., there have been 30 deaths in a
seven-month period that averaged 61 fatalities
in each of the previous ve years.
This is more than enough evidence to keep
the laws as they are there had been talk of
easing the rules after bars and restaurants
complained the laws were too harsh and hurt
business.
However, while this has been somewhat true,
there has also been an evolution in how people
think about their drink.
Whether switching from boozy beverages to
mocktails or planning an alternative way to get
home, the general public appears to have adapt-
ed to the new reality.
Part of this can be attributed to fear of get-
ting caught, but hopefully it also signals a sea
change in society.
Younger generations have grown up being told
about the dangers of drunk driving and their
education has rubbed off on older citizens.
The glory days of gas guzzlers are long gone
and city planners are more and more looking at
ways to keep people out of their vehicles. Driv-
ing and drinking, once far too common, is also a
relic of a past era.
Taxis, bus service and even courtesy rides
from good Samaritan organizations are now
readily available for people who want to go out
for a drink and get home without driving.
The message is clear: There are options to
avoid hitting the road hammered.
The law works and its time for all B.C. drivers
to work with it.

Re: Farmland being dumped
on (The News, July 22).
For months and months,
dump trucks carrying ex-
cavated material from one
or two subdivision develop-
ment sites in Maple Ridge
have been rolling on 224th
Street to two properties
along the North Alouette
River and in the Agricultur-
al Land Reserve, and dump-
ing their loads.
This activity, under the
pretense of building roads
and berms for farming pur-
poses, is making a mockery
of the Right to Farm Act,
the Agricultural Land Com-
mission and the District of
Maple Ridge.
This activity has been ap-
proved by the ALC and is
being carried out under its
guidance.
There are so many things
wrong with this activity,
from dumping material of
an unknown quality near
a salmon-bearing river, to
destroying good farmland,
and endangering the sur-
rounding properties dur-
ing a ood by redirecting
water.
Fill farming is becoming a
runaway problem in many
municipalities. Langley, in
particular, is working hard
to control this activity,
which is usually approved
by the ALC under the guise
of improving farmland.
But when you do the math,
there is a lot more prot
to be made by being a dirt
farmer dumpsite than actu-
ally farming the land.
If 50 loads a day were
brought in to a property at
$80 a load, over the period
of a month, the benet to
the farmer is approximate-
ly $80,000.
In the case of 224th Street,
the trucks often roll in on
Saturdays, as well.
Extrapolate that over sev-
eral months and one can
easily see why ll farming
is much more viable than
raising bok choy.
Why is the ALC turning a
blind eye to this problem?
Why is the District of Ma-
ple Ridge turning a blind
eye to this problem?
Local residents, as well
as the Alouette Valley As-
sociation have repeatedly
complained, written letters,
met with the district and
the ALC, all to no avail.
It is time for both the ALC
and the district to investi-
gate what is really going on
and put a stop to it.
It is time to make the
property owner take steps
to mitigate the impact he
has put on surrounding
properties.
It is time for this to stop.
DIAN MURRELL

EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Farmland being dumped on (The
News, July 22).
For years I have been a big support-
er of the Agricultural Land Commis-
sion, believing that the preservation
of farmland is an absolute necessity
for our future food security.
This is born out yet again the latest,
somewhat alarming report just re-
leased by the United Nations (World
Economic and Social Survey, 2011).
The ALC has been under consid-
erable pressure from development
interests and has, in many instanc-
es, done a good job in holding rm
against these pressures.
Part of the ALCs mandate is to sup-
port the activities of farmers. The
commission has the power to autho-
rize the farmer to undertake works
such as road building or berm build-
ing without the blessing of the local
authorities.
However, that power does come
with certain rules and responsibili-
ties:
before a project such as berm
building is authorized, the local au-
thority must be notied and consult-
ed.
Also, such work must not cause dan-
ger on or to adjacent land, structures
or rights of way, or foul, obstruct or
impede the ow of any waterway.
These rules are particularly impor-
tant when the activities are to occur
in an area which is subject to ood-
ing.
The District of Maple Ridge has just
released its long awaited hydrology
study, produced by NorthWest Hy-
draulic Consultants. The most im-
portant nding in the report is that
berming and lling around the rivers
will cause the most danger to homes
in the area.
Over the past year, the two proper-
ties on 224 Street, immediately north
of the North Alouette River, have
been bermed by the owner.
The Alouette Valley Association
has written to and met with both that
ALC and the District of Maple Ridge
and explained that there is a very
high degree of certainty that these
berms will directly affect nearby
homes and cause much greater ood-
ing than previously experienced.
The NHC study has validated the
AVA assertion.
Okay, so they did not believe a
bunch of residents, but why ignore
the consultants study?
Since the study has been released,
hundreds of additional loads have
been dumped at the site and there
seems to be no end in sight.
Despite the berms already being
in place, the dumping continues un-
abated under the guise that roads are
needed for the farm operation.
Recently, AVA wrote to the ALC to
request an onsite meeting.
The key questions for the ALC are:
what do hundreds of loads of ll
have to do with farming?
why does it continue to support an
activity that contravenes the agricul-
tural act?
why does it think ll farming for
prot is more important than peoples
homes?
what are its plans to resolve the
problem?
Sadly, so far the request has been
ignored.
Fill farming is the practice of being
paid to dump construction waste on
a property.
Nobody knows what is in the ll
that is being deposited. Much of it is
within metres of the North Alouette
River.
The practice of uncontrolled dump-
ing ll of next to an important salmon
bearing river should not be tolerated.

Re: Council to vote on raises (The News, July 20).
I was astounded, but not surprised, when I read recently
that a staff report had recommended yet more increases
to the monies paid to councillors and the mayor.
Where will it all end?
In the last election, more than 20 people ran for the six
councillor positions and three for mayor.
There is no need to increase the pay as there is already
lots of people wanting the job for what it pays now.
Will staff, who recommended the increases, continue to
get raises, too?
And this is a year when unionized staff will be negotiat-
ing a new contract.
It is time council recognizes that the well is dry.
There is no ability to pay higher taxes, especially to in-
crease municipal wages.
Freeze, or even reduce existing council salaries.
Send the message: municipal workers have it much bet-
ter than the average worker today.
It is unreasonable to demand that the average citizen
must pay even more so that municipal workers can do
even better.
It is time to say enough.

Re: Still no wedding chapel (The News, July 20).
The chapel was an idea of its time, 2002.
In 2011, it is no longer required, as there is now a small
hall there, courtesy of Pitt Meadows and leisure servic-
es.
What would be really great is something similar to
what Maple Ridge has: a gazebo or bandstand with its
copper roof.
No need for a suitable tenant.
This would be big enough to have an outside wedding
with the bridal party under cover. Photos of the river in
the background would be nice. There could be more park-
ing there, which would be used for any event held there.
A new plan is required. Council needs to look forward,
not backwards.

Another reason to go to Mission
From: alloutfun, posted on mapleridgenews.com.
Re: Toll the bridge to Silverdale, as well? (Letters, July 22).
The cheap gas in Mission is great, but soon we will have another reason to
go there. They are getting a Walmart! It is reported that the new shopping
centre will net Mission $780k in development cost charges and $700k in
annual property taxes. There will also be 200 construction jobs and 260
retail jobs once the development is complete. Meanwhile, the tree-huggers
and country bumpkins on Maple Ridge council are approving residential
development applications just as fast as they can, presumably to fuel the
economies of neighbouring municipalities.

Not bona fde
From: mrtt55, posted on maplerid-
genews.com.
Re: Farmland being dumped on
(The News, July 22).
A bona fide farmer would be maxi-
mizing every square inch of land,
not adding roads and destroying the
land by adding hundreds of loads of
suspect fill. This farmer has a history
of non-compliance, as cited and
confirmed by the district. A grove
of trees in the northwest corner of
his property within the 30-metre
setback from the river high mark
could now die as they have had their
roots exposed and massive amounts
of excavation fill placed around
them. A bona fide farmer would
never allow this to happen.
District staff are rec-
ommending Maple
Ridge change its bylaw
to permit parking of
recreational vehicles of
any size on residential
properties, provided
they t within the lot.
A report to council on
Monday also suggested
amending the district
complaint process by
limiting the complaint
radius to 100 metres in
the urban area and al-
lowing no more than
three complaints per
person per year.
The recommendations
follow an open house in
June, attended by 84
people, most of whom
supported the option to
relax the rules around
by permitting RVs of
any size.
District council, how-
ever, asked staff to
continue working on
the bylaw as questions
about weight restric-
tions, parking on small
lots and the 100-metre
complaint radius arose.
Well give the RV
people the summer off,
said Coun. Craig Speirs.
They are probably all
off camping anyway.
RV regulation was
a burning issue this
spring after one resi-
dent led more than 100
complaints about im-
properly parked RVs,
creating an avalanche
of complaints and lead-
ing staff to issue reloca-
tion orders for some of
the hotels on wheels.
The uproar prompted
council to ask staff to
conduct a review.
The districts current
bylaw bans RVs larger
than 7.5 metres from
residential properties.
Enforcement action
was suspended during
the review.
Statistics from the In-
surance Corporation of
British Columbia show
that eight per cent of
households in Maple
Ridge, or about 2,000,
own some form of a rec-
reational vehicle, rang-
ing from 13-metre mo-
tor homes with a square
footage and amenities
of a small apartment to
tent trailers the size of
a small car.
Eric Phillips, a resi-
dent who opposed the
RV bylaw, was pleased
that council referred
the report back to staff
for more information.
Its got to go back for
more clarity, he said.
Jacques Blackstone,
a Maple Ridge resident
whose been leading the
charge against the by-
law, just hopes the re-
view doesnt drag into
fall.
I dont want it be-
ing brought up right
before the election,
said Blackstone, who
instead proposed that a
resident should only be
able to complain about
something if its visible
from his or her resi-
dence.
The bylaw review is
expected to return to
council during a com-
mittee of the whole
meeting in August.

M
aple Ridge is well-
known for outdoor
recreation, with an abundance
of trails, provincial and
municipal parks, golf courses
and a thriving art community.
It was in this vibrant
community that Ron Davis
established his company in
1987 with the determination
to build beautiful,
handcrafted family homes of
exceptional quality.
Davis himself is a hands-
on builder and employs an
expert team of tradesmen,
designers and consultants
who share his commitment
to value. I trust their skills
and know I can count on the
fact that what our clients
dont see whats on the inside
has been done right says
Davis. Its gratifying to
create homes I can be just
as proud of when I go back
years later as when they were
built. And nowhere is this
more apparent than in the
homes at The Pointe.
Situated in the centre of
Maple Ridge, The Pointe is a
community of 29 single-
family homes built with both
the West Coast lifestyle and
weather in mind
Families have a choice of
three exceptionally designed
styles, the Roberts, The
Carlton and the Rena. The
square footage ranges from
2,660 square feet to 3,300
sq. ft . over three oors
and the choice of a nished
basement. Concordia Homes
sales and marketing manager
Vicky van Herwaarden says
many things make The Pointe
homes stand out, including
their location.
Our location is close to
the centre of Maple Ridge
and Kanaka Creek Park.
The Pointe is central to
both outdoor activities and
amenities this community has
to offer, she notes.
With attention to detail,
Concordia creates beautiful
homes. Our high level
of nish and quality
craftsmanship assures lasting
value.
The homes feature impressive
nine-foot ceilings on the main
oor, with durable laminate
ooring in both kitchen and
family rooms. Heavy 5
heritage baseboards and
31/4 door casing add to
elegance of the rooms.
The kitchens come with
maple cabinets, heavy crown
mouldings and a 27 deep
fridge gable with valance.
Homes include heavy granite
counter tops throughout the
kitchen and powder room
to complement the cabinets.
Premium chrome faucets are
used throughout the homes
including the kitchen.
The quality extends to the
rest of the home, with 40oz
stain-resistant, soft twist,
smartstrand carpet and Weiser
Venetian bronze hardware
installed on every door. The
unnished basement has
a roughed-in three piece
bathroom with toilet, basin
and tub and the garage has
nished painted drywall.
Attention has been paid to the
exterior with Hardie Plank
and heavy wood accents on
front elevation plus extensive
use of natural rock. The roof
has attractive IKO weathered
wood 30-year berglass
shingles.
And the homes are for
everyone.
Our target market is for
all age groups, says van
Herwaarden. From the
young married couple to
families and retirees, (the
Pointe is for) those who wish
for a full-size home at a lower
price point.
Our prices include HST,
so our clients will get more
value on any of the Pointe
homes.
The value is really quite
exceptional. Visit
www.thepointehomes.ca
for more details.

Fire destroyed a barn in east
Maple Ridge on Tuesday as it did
a house on the same property
about two years ago.
The blaze started around noon
and quickly engulfed the wooden
structure, which housed an old
car.
Its proximity to trees and homes
in the Yennadon neighbourhood
concerned the re department.
Three re trucks and 12 re-
ghters, though, had the re un-
der control within minutes.
The two-hectare property at
12498 232nd Street is up for sale.
A house on the property was de-
stroyed in another re more than
two years ago.
Assistant re chief Mark Smit-
ton said the property owner not-
ed people have repeatedly broken
into the barn since.
Theres a good chance [the
re] was started by vagrants,
said Smitton.

Staff at Golden Ears
Provincial Park are pre-
paring for another busy
August long weekend,
and are asking campers
and beachgoers to be
respectful of the park
while they are there.
More than 5,000 visi-
tors are expected to
come to the park each
day this weekend, de-
pending on the weath-
er, and that can mean
a big mess for staff to
clean up when they are
gone.
We just want every-
one to respect the envi-
ronment, respect your
neighbours, and have
a great time, said park
manager Stu Burgess.
Leaving garbage and
empty beverage con-
tainers can also attract
bears.
While Burgess says
bear encounters are
rare in the park, last
Monday a black bear
had to be put down af-
ter it wandered into a
campsite and helped
itself to the campers
food.
The bear had no
fear, so RCMP had to
put it down, he said.
We were sounding air
horns a few feet away
and it wouldnt budge.
It was very stubborn.
If campers do en-
counter a bear while
camping in the park,
Burgess recommends
getting out of the area
as quickly as possible,
and alerting park staff
so they can deal with
the situation.
A new recycling initia-
tive will hopefully fur-
ther reduce the number
of bear encounters at
the park.
The Ministry of En-
vironment and Encorp
Pacic are rolling out
specially designed bear-
proof metal bins so park
users can safely recycle
their used beverage
containers. Expanding
on a successful pilot
launched in May 2009,
the program promotes
responsible recycling in
provincial parks while
deterring bears.
Sixty-one new bear-
proof recycle bins are
being placed in eight
popular B.C. provincial
parks, including Gold-
en Ears.
Our province has
worked very hard to
reduce waste and the
number of bear- human
conicts, said environ-
ment minister Terry
Lake. The continued
support of the bear-
smart recycling pro-
gram, without a doubt,
has improved the way
we co-exist with bears
while keeping our BC
Parks clean.
Encorp Pacic has
contributed 121 recy-
cling bins to the pro-
gram since 2009 with a
total value of $184,000.
Campers this week-
end can expect some
sunshine, with Envi-
ronment Canada call-
ing for a mix of sun and
cloud with highs in the
low 20s throughout the
weekend, with a 30 per
cent chance of rain on
Saturday.
The parks 409 camp-
sites have been fully
booked for the upcom-
ing weekend for the last
three months.
Actually, it booked
up almost as soon as it
became available, said
Burgess. They were
all gone in about two
hours.
Theres still a little bit
of space available for
Labour Day long week-
end, but Burgess said
the remaining camp-
sites wont last long.
Police conscated
brass knuckles and
impounded a vehicle
for 30 days after pull-
ing over a young man
for drunk driving Sun-
day in Maple Ridge.
Ridge Meadows
RCMP pulled over
the 18-year-old driver
of a blue Ford Tempo
on 216 Street, north
of Dewdney Trunk
Road, for erratic driv-
ing.
He showed signs of
being drunk and failed
a roadside screening
device. He had his
drivers license re-
voked for 90 days and
his car impounded for
30.
During the investi-
gation, police found
the brass knuckles,
which are prohibited
under the Criminal
Code of Canada.
Dog loses an eye
A dog was shot with
by a pellet gun in Ma-
ple Ridge on Saturday
and lost its left eye.
The dog was found
at a home on Isaac
Crescent by its own-
er.
Anyone with any
information about
this incident is asked
to call Ridge Meadows
RCMP at 604-463-6251.
Failed theft
Assault charges are

an who tried to steal

were dropped dur-

tion, and the woman
ran without them to
the Haney Bus Loop,
where she was ar-
rested.

School vandalism in
Maple Ridge and Pitt
Meadows has reached
its lowest levels since
rst recorded in 2004.
The most recent
year-end report was
was released last week
and shows reports of
vandalism are down
for the second consec-
utive year.
The total number of
incidents dropped to
720 this year from 991
last year.
The district spent
$521,283 repairing
damage from vandal-
ism this past year,
down from $542,536 for
the year before.
We havent in-
creased our anti-van-
dalism initiatives at
all this year because
we were unsure of our
funding situation, said
Kathie Ward, a school
board trustee who sits
on the anti-vandalism
committee. So its
hard to pinpoint why
levels are so low.
Vandalism reports
peaked in 2007/08 with
1,248 incidents, but
have been dropping
since.
New initiatives to
combat vandalism
were introduced in
2009, such as a mos-
quito device at emits a
piercing noise at a fre-
quency that can gen-
erally only be heard
by people under 25.
As they approach the
building, they begin to
hear sounds similar to
mosquitos.
Having parks and
gardens near schools
also deters vandalism
because more people
are around, Ward
said.
And the school dis-
trict has a hot line to
report such incidents.
Still, vandalism oc-
curs.
Blue Mountain el-
ementary was broken
in to, and guitars were
stolen. How many is
unknown, as is the
cost to replace them.
Its unclear why that
school was targeted
this time, said Ward.
Increases some-
times happen when
attention is drawn
to a school for a par-
ticular event, she
added. But incidents
also increase in good
weather. Over the past
couple of days, Ive no-
ticed a high increase.
The number of bro-
ken windows at dis-
trict schools dropped
to 93 this year from
155 during the same
period last year, July
to June. However, the
cost to repair those 93
windows was $92,257,
up from $75,153 to pay
for the 155 the year be-
fore.
It depends on what
type of windows are
being broken and
where, said Ward. It
seems like this year,
more expensive ones
were broken, even
though the amount of
incidents decreased.
Maintenance staff
boards up the win-
dows at schools that
have been historically
susceptible to vandal-
ism in the summer
months. Blue Moun-
tain elementary wasnt
one of them.

It was a study in con-
trasts: while crowds of
shoppers cruised the
aisles with heavily-
laden grocery carts on
grand-opening day Fri-
day, the roof of Port Co-
quitlams new Walmart
Supercentre was quiet
and serene.
To the east, the view
of the coastal mountains
was spectacular and the
lush foliage on the banks
of the Pitt River created a
wall of green. But it was
the 220,000 hand-planted
sedums and succulents
that were taking root
on Walmarts roof that
drew ones attention.
The tiny, colourful,
drought-tolerant plants
that more-rightly be-
longed in rock crevices
or an alpine meadow
stretched out as far as
the eye could see on
113,467 square feet of
the roofs 151,290 square-
foot surface.
Bigger than two NFL-
sized football elds, the
roof is one of the larg-
est in the region, and
the green-roof a rst for
the publicly-owned mul-
tinational corporation,
yet few will get to see
this garden of miniature
plants.
For one thing, you
have to climb a 30-foot
ladder to get there, and
its not part of the ame-
nities, such as groceries,
dry goods, and a garden
centre that are draw-
ing shoppers from Pitt
Meadows to Port Moody
to 2150 Hawkins Street
(off Lougheed Highway)
to view the newest big-
box discount store. (In
fact, the green roof is
not designed for public
access.)
The green roof is the
rst example of PoCos
2006 bylaw amendment
that now requires all
buildings over 5,000
square metres (53,821
square feet) to use
green technology to re-
duce the heat island ef-
fect of large buildings,
boost energy conserva-
tion and promote natu-
ral dispersion of storm
water run-off.
When it was intro-
duced, many in the in-
dustry, including the
Urban Development In-
stitute, expressed con-
cerns about a projected
tripling of roong costs,
maintenance and liabil-
ity. The UDI called for
a voluntary approach,
more exibility and in-
centives and the city
moved in some small
ways to meeting those
demands.
It didnt go as far as
the City of Toronto,
which offers nancial
assistance for green roof
technology, it does allow
variances for certain
business cases (such as
large, unheated indus-
trial storage) and will
consider other improve-
ments instead if they get
the same environmental
outcomes or better.
As for costs, the city
maintains they should
be no more than 10 per
cent higher than tra-
ditional roofs with the
investment paying itself
off in two years with re-
duced heating and cool-
ing costs.
The Walmart roof cost
$1 million and includes
a landscaped bioswale,
where water from the
roof is channelled into
a pipe, then drops 35
feet, before bouncing off
a couple of boulders to
disperse into an attrac-
tively laid out rock and
gravel bed below. There,
it slowly percolates into
the groundwater.
Onni development
manager Mike Mackay
said the investment was
signicant, but will be
offset by reduced heat-
ing and cooling costs
and the fast-tracking of
the project, in which the
city shortened the appli-
cation process by one to
two months, and shaved
off some of the projects
capital carrying costs.
It is a signicant cost
to the project. That said,
we did experience the
benet from a more ef-
cient building and in the
approval process.
Mackay also pointed
to other design elements
built into the project to
reduce its impact on the
environment, such as
landscaped bioswales
throughout the parking
lot, as well as outdoor
LED lighting.
It [the bioswales]
will naturally lter the
storm water and create
less stress on the citys
storm sewer system,
Mackay said.
With Walmart com-
pleted, Onni is await-
ing the construction of
Canadian Tire, the next
anchor store for the
Fremont Village Shop-
ping Centre, slated for
a build-out of 760,000
square feet over the
next several years, in-
cluding two 30-storey
towers, and a pedestri-
an-oriented fashion re-
tail centre to the south.
To the west, plans are
unfolding for banks and
restaurants, with devel-
opment permit approval
expected soon for CIBC,
the Royal Bank, Shop-
pers Drug Mart, A&W,
and Burger King.
Mackay said the goal is
to create pedestrian link-
ages between the stores
and to encourage people
to walk once they get to
the mall because all of
their shopping needs will
be in one place. Some
may even consider mov-
ing to the area because
of access to all the ame-
nities and he predicted a
reduction in automobile
trafc and emissions will
result.
We want to establish
a viable commercial en-
vironment and really
establish a community
around that, Mackay
said, noting that PoCo is
an ideal destination for
an outdoor pedestrian-
oriented shopping des-
tination because people
love to walk, as evidenced
by the Len Traboulay-Po-
Co trail, which is a short
distance away.
In fact, the city is just
now putting the nishing
touches to a $9.9 million
project to increase diver-
sity in the Pitt River with
channels, ponds, marsh-
lands, islands, roosting
posts for birds and bask-
ing rocks for snakes paid
for, in part, by developers
for habitat compensa-
tion.
However, cars were
very much in evidence
on grand opening day as
shoppers ocked to see
the new Walmart. But
two bikes locked on a
rack placed prominently
next to the entrance
could be a sign of things
to come.

He has asked the court
to dismiss Athwals law-
suit.
Weve are still in the
process of dealing with
it, said, Rawji who plans
to tear down the complex
within a month.
Our biggest issue has
been dealing with the
previous ownership and
theyve been an issue
for everybody from the
start.
In a report to council
Tuesday, district staff
recommend council give
Rawji 30 days to remove
the buildings. The re-
quest follows an inspec-
tion on July 12, when
district staff found the
buildings had been bro-
ken into and wiring was
tampered with.
Fire chief Dane Spence
said the buildings have
been found insecure
eight times since Janu-
ary and are an extreme
hazard to reghters,
should a re break out in
any of them.
Since January 2004,
the re department has
responded to at least 72
calls from Northumber-
land Court, 11 of them
re-related.
Whatever security
measures were in place
were inadequate, said
Spence. The buildings
are in worse condition
now than when he took
them over. They have
degraded to a point now
where its time some-
thing is done.
Despite the delay,
council indicates the
district is still willing to
work with Rawji.
The last thing we
want to see is for him to
remodel those units and
then rent them out, said
Coun. Craig Speirs.
Thats just a horror
show for the neighbour-
hood. Weve been very
amendable and allowed
him time. We are will-
ing to work with the
guy, but hes got to, at
some point, tear them
down. We need some an-
swers.
Rawji intends to sub-
mit nal drawings to
the district for 29 town-
houses and a 24-unit
apartment building by
the end of August.

business PROFILE
ADVERTORIAL
Theres a new dining and entertaining option
in Maple Ridge for people on the go, but its not
a restaurant. The recently opened Gourmet
Republik is an unconventional take on somewhat
elevated fare,offering high-quality meals prepared
ahead of time. When entertaining friends and
family and you need a few hearty nibbles such as
tapenades and hummus, marinated mushrooms,
chicken cacciatore or pulled pork, Gourmet
Republik is the place to go! Your guests will
wonder how long you have been standing over
the stove or where you got the recipe.
All you have to do is take their products home
and heat them up. Were bringing something
different, owner Peter Kent said. We want
to bring gourmet food without the cost or
intimidation.
Kent said their food allows busy people,
especially those who work and commute, to
experience great dinners without having to tie
up an evening making food or going out.
Most people have time issues today, he said.
People can drop in or call ahead, and well even
make their dinner for them.
The focus at Gourmet Republik, located at
No. 6 22935 Lougheed Highway (across from
Tolesky Stadium), is on pairing quality food with
convenience at an affordable cost.
Its reasonably priced and of high restaurant
quality, Kent said. Its gourmet, its high-quality,
but its a republic; everyone is welcome.
Greg Keenan, Gourmet Republiks partner and
chef, said the key to producing good food comes
from using top-drawer ingredients.
We use quality, local, sustainable ingredients,
he said. The 100-mile to 400-mile diet is our big
focus.
Keenan said Gourmet Republiks extensive
equipment allows staff to make all dishes on the
premises,keeping things fresh. That offers benets
from quality and affordability standpoints.
We debone our own chicken, we do our
own butchery, which helps us provide a more
attractive price point, Keenan said. Its all fresh,
all locally produced.
One of their most popular dishes so far has been
Keenans famed ribs. Our number one selling
product, we cant even keep it in stock, is our ribs,
he said. Theyre all marinated and fully braised.
Theyre Fraser Valley pork ribs in a balsamic soy
barbecue sauce. You only need to reheat them
on the BBQ or oven and within 4 minutes, you
have succulent and juicy ribs. A favourite for all.
There are plenty of other meat options, as well,
including beef, chicken and pork skewers; a big
hit to surprise your friends. Another specialty
of Gourmet Republik is avourful and innovative
salads made fresh every day. The edamame salad
and crunchy cabbage just ies out the window.
We can hardly keep up.
The restaurant industry has been Keenans life
for the past few decades. He loves the Gourmet
Republik concept, as it allows more people to
experience what good cooking can be without
all the preparation. Im 34 now, I started when
I was 14, Keenan said. Im accredited to teach
culinary arts, as high as you can go in Canada. A
huge passion of mine is watching people learn
how to make and appreciate good food.
Keenan said Gourmet Republiks well worth a
try make life easy on girls night out or for the
guys watching the game order some tasty fare
such as wings or an antipasto platter.
Gourmet Republik also offers catering for
everything from small business luncheons to
large weddings, family BBQs or healthy lunches
while youre heading to the hiking trails.
If you like quality without the fuss and stress
and you like good food, this is the place, Keenan
said.
The Maple Ridge store is Gourmet Republiks
rst outlet, but Kent said it could expand
elsewhere over time.
Its a showroom, a showcase of the food
that we bring, he said. The possibility is there
that we will go beyond Maple Ridge. Kent said
Maple Ridge made a perfect market for Gourmet
Republik thanks to its rapid growth. Why should
only downtown Vancouver get the best of the
best? Why shouldnt Maple Ridge get the best?

The new Maple Ridge and Pitt
Meadows chapter of Kidsport is very
excited about the Rotary Duck Race
taking place. The first $25,000.00
raised through this fundraiser will go to
Kidsport to offset registration costs so
every child to age 18 can participate in
organized community sports.
Kidsport is a community funded group
receiving no government funding. If
you are a sport organization or youth
organization you can get a double kick
at this fundraiser.
First, if your organization qualifies,
by selling ducks you could be eligible
to receive a minimum of 50 per cent of
the funds you raise selling the ducks,
and second, if your organization quali-
fies, you can benefit from Kidsport in
offsetting registration cost of children
with financial barriers. This is a win-win
fundraiser, so get involved and help
more children in our communities play.
For more information please visit our
website www.rotaryduckrace.ca or call

J
onny Aaron roams the dark space at the top
of Hollywood 3 Cinema Monday and Tues-
day nights. He passes the projection grave-
yard of old machine parts on his way to wheel the
lm through what look like giant sewing spindles.
Aaron meticulously threads reels of lm through
pulleys to start the movies against the clicking
sound of lms in progress. The effort goes unde-
tected by the moviegoers below. He moves fast so
that the chain on his black skinny jeans jingles.
Aaron launches his newest side project, Hor-
rorshow, at the Harris Road theatre in Pitt Mead-
ows this Friday night for any horror movie junkie
looking for a x. The soon-to-be monthly movie
night only screens horror movies. The rst is Sam
Raimis Evil Dead at midnight.
Ive been an avid fan of anything creepy since I
was really little, said Aaron, who is also the lead
singer in The Bone Daddies and works at a local
skate shop. Theres something about horror you
cant nd in other lms. Its that mix of terror, but
its still safe. You can escape the reality and do
something else for a while.
Aaron was rst hooked on horror when he saw
King Kong at age seven or eight.
I instantly fell in love with it, said Aaron, who
talks as if theres no time for him to express the
thoughts racing through his mind. It just made
my little nerd heart swell. From there I started
reading all the horror comic books, watching the
lms, just getting my hands on anything I could
nd.
It was a mission that sometimes proved difcult
for Aaron, who had to get things passed two very
religious parents. Even though they themselves
were fans of the classic black-and-whites such as
Godzilla, they tried to censor Aarons exposure to
newer, more graphic lms.
But an eight-year-old Aaron found a loophole.
Whenever it was time for grade-school students
to order their books from the popular Scholastic
book publisher, Aaron roved the catalogues for all
the horror graphic novels.
To my parents, I was reading, he said, now 26.
So they were ne with that.
His monthly movie night has been in the works
since he noticed a similar idea at the Rio Theatre
in Vancouver last summer. Hes been looking for a
local venue for such an event ever since.
He applied to work at the Hollywood 3 Cinema
as a part-time projectionist with an ulterior mo-
tive last December. A few months later, he de-
cided to run the idea by the owner, Rahim Manji,
who loved it.
Then he began promoting through posters and
word-of-mouth. The Facebook page lists 55 at-
tendees for the event and more than 100 group
members who can weigh in on which movie they
want to see.
My top three would be the Evil Dead trilogy,
Night of the Living Dead, and 28 Days Later, said
Aaron.
His tall, wiry frame can barely contain his en-
thusiasm. Theres just something about all those
zombie movies where you can watch the mental
breakdown of these characters and an average
receptionist can become the hero while a big shot
executive falls early. Its a study of human will.
Attendees at this Fridays screening will enter
the theatre to the drum and bass sounds of local
DJ 2 Def. Comedian Fiq Ahmed performs a brief
comedy routine before the main feature.
Aaron plans to have different local acts perform
before each movie, sometimes giving away prizes
such as comic books and movie passes in a rafe.
He says theres a local market for his event judg-
ing by the Facebook page and his conversations
with others. Hes seen interest in people of all
ages, but warns that most movies he screens will
have an R rating. This Friday hes hoping to ll
the 140-seat theatre.
Im getting a lot of positive response for it, said
Aaron in a hat that conceals a head of black hair,
half dyed green. Peoples faces just light up and
they get it like I get it.

Christopher Lee among

C
hristopher Jordon Lee
wants to live at YVR.
Hes scoped the place
for food, knows where the
good stores are. Hes taken
tips from experts, in this case
Tom Hanks character Viktor
Navorski in The Terminal a
movie where Navorski nds
himself stranded in JFK Inter-
national Airport for months.
Lee feels ready to move away
from home.
The public can now vote on-
line for Lee, a Maple Ridge res-
ident who made it to the Top
5 in Vancouver International
Airports search for an all-in-
one reporter, director, editor,
producer, and post-production
supervisor to live at the airport
for 80 days.
I couldnt believe I made it in
the Top 5, said the fast talking
actor, who found out he was a
nalist while in a crowded van
shooting for a short lm. I
think YVR is the most exciting
place in the world.
YVR wants its correspon-
dent to uncover stories and
share experiences from the
countrys second busiest air-
port in celebration of its 80th
anniversary.
Besides the opportunity to
live at an airport, the winner
also receives a $15,000 hono-
rarium and complimentary
meals three times a day. YVR
equips the correspondent with
a camera, editing equipment,
and a cellphone.

Susan Loadman swings a hoola hoop while The Land of Deborah performs along 224th Street on Saturday during a
celebration of the completion of the downtown improvements. More music is coming to the downtown.
I think itll be really exciting, but
Im also kind of nervous, said Lee,
22.
In all, 96 people applied for the
contest, submitting a three-minute
video about a person, place, or event
in the community. The video had to
be produced, shot, and edited solely
by the applicant.
Lees comedic submission docu-
ments his journey to the Tool Li-
brary in Vancouver, where he in-
terviews the owner and customers,
talking into a hammer instead of a
microphone.
He lls his dialogue with funny
quips about the journalism busi-
ness.
We were incredibly impressed by
the quality and quantity of video en-
tries for Live@YVR, said Rebecca
Catley, director of communications
for the Vancouver Airport Author-
ity. Now its the publics turn to
have its say on who will tell the
behind-the scenes stories of its air-
port.
The winner begins the assignment
on Aug. 17, living in the YVR com-
munity by day and sleeping at the
Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel
by night until Nov. 4.
If chosen, Lee plans to venture
into the airports exclusive First
Class Lounge.
Maybe while Im in there, Ill
sneak a massage and a gourmet
meal.
The blonde, shaggy-haired Van-
couver Academy of Dramatic Arts
graduate has been practicing his
craft for the past three years. Hes
acted in commercials, made-for-TV
movies, and short lms.
Lee will use the $15,000 to return
to acting school and fund a web-se-
ries hes working on titled Unreeled,
to be lmed at the Hollywood 3 Cin-
ema in Pitt Meadows.

Thank you . . .
to the many hundreds of volunteers who were fundamental in bring-
ing this event to the level of excellence we achieved.
On behalf of the 35th Elders Gathering we would like to express our grateful-
ness to our Elders who attended all our planning meetings throughout the year
with their knowledge and support. Our Core Planning Group, Coordinators and
Volunteers, provided input and tireless commitment to the planning process,
which lead to the success of the 35th Annual Elders Gathering. Their respect-
ful participation was a success and welcomed over 5000 participants. The 35th
Elders Gathering could not have taken place without our sponsors. We have
built long lasting partnerships that will benet the elders, their communities
and all British Columbians for many years to come.

The Ridge Meadows Bur-
rards Midget A1 lacrosse team
are provincial champions after
beating Saanich 7-2 in the gold
medal final in Coquitlam on
Sunday.
However, the game was much
closer than the score sug-
gests.
At the end of the first period,
the Burrards held a narrow 3-1
lead, only to have Saanich pull
within one.
Ridge Meadows led 3-2 with
only eight minutes remaining
in the game when the flood
gates opened for the Burrards.
Captain Jesse Gillespie and
Brett Kujala each had a pair of
goals, while goalie Connor Da-
vid was solid in net to help seal
the win.
Every single member of this
team was a major part of the
championship success this
team achieved, said coach
Doug McQuarrie. From our
goalie to our face off crew to
loose balls to our goal scor-
ers to our defensive play. This
team did not have one leader,
it had 18 leaders.
The Burrards beat Delta,
Saanich and Port Coquitlam
before losses to Burnaby and
Coquitlam to finish the round
robin at three wins, two loss-
es.
I truly believe that in order
to reach the pinnacle of your
abilities, you must learn to
face some adversity and those
2 losses were our adversities,
McQuarrie said. We went un-
defeated in league play this
season over the 20 game sched-
ule, so we needed to feel what
a loss or two feels like, and my
players sure felt it and learned
from it immediately.
That education served the
team well as they faced Coquit-
lam in In the semi-finals, who
had beaten them just 24 hours
earlier in round robin play.
However, this time the Bur-
rards were in control, winning
7-2 thanks to strong efforts by
Joe Olson, Andrew Gresham,
Kyle Heiling, Mitch McDole,
and Kujala.
Matt Olson, Brad Bruneau,
Brody Glemnitz, Brad Row-
botham, Craig Burnett, Travis
Froelich, Jacob Teifisher, Ty-
son Walker, Adam Stanbury,
Mitch Abercrombie and Jesse
Gillespie also had strong per-
formances throughout the
tournament.
We also had a major part
of our team missing from the
floor but always in our hearts
and mind, and that is Riley
Glemnitz, said McQuarrie.
Riley tore his ACL in June
in a game and had surgery last
week and had to miss these
provincials. [He] would have
dominated like the rest of his
team and made us even stron-
ger.... but he was at every prac-
tice and game supporting his
team mates.
Goalie Connor David was
selected to the provincial all-
star team and Matt Olson was
awarded the Warrior Sports
Fair Play Award for his season
long dedication to fair play,
commitment, leadership and
integrity of the game. Captain
Jesse Gillespie was awarded
the gold medal game MVP.

Anticipating the play
Jaden Hanson, third baseman for the Ridge Meadows Royals, waits for the ball as
a runner for the Coquitlam Moody Reds makes it safely to third during a peewee A
game Saturday afternoon at the Pitt Meadows Sports Fields. Ridge Meadows went on
to win the game 13-7.
The Maple Ridge Bur-
rards managed to cling
to the fourth and final
playoff berth thanks
to some help over the
weekend from some
unlikely sources.
Wins by the Coquit-
lam Adanacs and the
Victoria Shamrocks
over Nanaimo and
Burnaby respectively
allowed the Burrards
to remain in fourth
place with two games
left to play in the West-
ern Lacrosse Associa-
tion regular season.
The Shamrocks
bested the Lakers 11-6
Friday night before
the Adanacs downed
the Timbermen 9-10 in
overtime Saturday.
Currently, the WLA
standings are knotted
with four teams sepa-
rated by just three
points, each chas-
ing one of two playoff
berths.
The Langley Thun-
der is holding on to
third place with 16
points, while both
Maple Ridge and
Nanaimo each
have 14
p o i n t s ,
with the
Burrards
h o l d i n g
the tie-breaker over
Nanaimo with more
wins. Burnaby, mean-
while, is just a point
behind in sixth place.
With two games left
to play, the Burrards
can finish as high in
the standings as third,
or as low as seventh.
Last season we
went on a big streak
at the end of the sea-
son and snuck into the
playoffs, said team
captain Peter Tellis.
Were hoping to do
that again.
However, while ev-
ery other team in the
WLA was playing last
weekend, the Burrards
were idle as a result of
Country Fest.
Tellis thinks the
break will benefit the
team.
I dont think rust is
an issue, said Tellis.
The break has gives a
chance for a few play-
ers to rest up .
Regardless, well be
we l l - p r e -
pared. Its
not hard
to get
mot i vat ed
this time of
year.
As for possible first-
round match-ups
should the Burrards
hold onto fourth-place,
Tellis said he and the
team are more con-
cerned with the games
at hand this weekend.
To me, I dont care
as long as were play-
ing in August, he
said.
The Burrards travel
to Burnaby Friday
night to take on the
Lakers before return-
ing home Sunday night
to face the first-place
New Westminster Sal-
monbellies.
Our fans are great,
and the support has
definitely been im-
proving over the last
few years, said Tellis.
Wed love to see some
fan support for our
last game of the regu-
lar season.

after sweeping both the Mid-
Island Mustangs and Victoria
Mariners last weekend.
The Royals finish with a re-
cord of 37-5, the best in club
history.
On Saturday the club sent
Nathan Kitamura to the
mound in game one. Mid-Is-
land scored an unearned run
in the second but Ridge came
right back with a pair in the
third on a Cole Ross two-out
two-run single. That was all
the scoring as Kitamura went
the distance on a five-hitter.
The second game of the day
was not as close, as the Roy-
als scored two in the first and
five in the second to take an
early lead that they would
not relinquish as they went
on to win by a final of 9-4.
Brandon Sound picked up the
win throwing four shutout
innings before giving way to
Dylan MacDermid who threw
the final three in relief.
Sound (1-1, RBI, run) and
MacDermid (3-3, two RBI, two
runs, SB) also paced the of-
fence.
Sunday saw the Royals
sweep their final two games of
the season from a strong Vic-
toria Mariners club, bringing
the Royals home record to
21-1, the only blemish being
an April loss to Chilliwack.
The first game saw Keanen
Buckley throw six strong
innings allowing only one
earned run on one hit. Alex
Miyahara finished up the
game in the seventh to help
preserve a 5-3 win. Offensive-
ly, Miyahara (0-1, run, RBI),
Kevin Bork (2-3, double, two
RBI, run), and Eric Blower
(1-3, RBI, run) led the way.
The final game of the regular
season had lefty Cole John-
son get the start and put forth
one of his best outings of the
season, pitching in to the
seventh before allowing an
earned run, eventually giving
way to Joey Tack who com-
pleted a 7-5 Royals win. Tack
(2-3, two runs, RBI, SB), Tarin
Richardson (2-3, RBI, run),
and Ross (1-3, double, RBI) all
contributed to the win with
solid games at the plate. The
Royals will enter the Provin-
cial Championships as the
number one seed which will
start Thursday in Kamloops.
The Royals will open the
Provincial Championships on
Thursday against the Rich-
mond Chuckers at 3 p.m.
