RV bylaw back after summer break. p8B.C. ViewsHST horror stories fade away. p6
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 offi ce space.
However, Rawji is currently saddled with a lawsuit launched by the previ-ous majority owner of the townhouse complex, Jagdev ‘Jack’ Athwal.
Athwal fi led the lawsuit in January, alleging Rawji’s 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 Athwal’s claim fi 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.
“We’ll 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 fi 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 city’s total area.
While the composting process can create
toxic liquids which can leach into the ground-water, Golden Eagle’s 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 traffi c 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 fi elds, Negrin said Golden Eagle can reduce its consumption of commercial fer-tilizers, which is good for the environment.
“This is a green product we’re using,” he said.
The plant will truck in chicken and horse ma-nure from Golden Eagle’s 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 fi 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 Eagle’s farms.“It’s 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 fi ve kilometres away and upwind, Ne-grin said the odour from the decaying manure wouldn’t be noticed.
“There won’t be any odour under our man-agement practices,” he said. “Our golf course is next door, so we want to make sure there’s no smell.”
The water used in the composting process would come from Golden Eagle’s existing wa-ter license, and the process uses a minimal amount of water, Negrin contends.
“We don’t 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 haven’t 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.
“It’s a very delicate ecosystem.”Last week, Pitt Meadows council voted to
support Golden Eagle’s 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. “We’re just centralizing it.”
ARMS, however, still has concerns
The provincial body tasked with protecting farmland is assuring neighbours who allege a farmer is dumping fi ll on his property that ev-erything is being done by the book.
The Agricultural Land Commis-sion visited Hang Cho’s farm, on 224th Street past 132nd Avenue, last week and did not fi 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 fl 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 fi 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 Cho’s neighbours believe the fi ll will only exacerbate fl ooding in the low-lying neighbour-hood.
A hydrology study done by the district, released last month, found that “raising or in-fi lling of land” on the fl ood plain displaces water and relocates the fl ooding problem to other properties.
It recommended the district con-sider a strategy for fl ood manage-ment that ensures “new or upgrad-ed fl ood protection structures do
not adversely increase the overall fl 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 fi ll on Cho’s property wouldn’t 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 that’s 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 commission’s 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 fl 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 it’s 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 fi 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 fl ow of any waterway.”
Hobbs says the work being done is now within the 30-metre ripar-ian zone that is meant to protect fi 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.”

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 reconfi gure the fairgrounds three times this year,” she said about making plans for potential rain.
“Usually, we’re 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 fi 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 diffi cult to get
a defi nitive attendance number, she add-ed. “From the parking, I’d say we’re 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 don’t 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 Island’s clubs, who have been here before, but this year they brought their whole club,” Bates said.
As a fi 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.
2011 Country Fest a success A boy selling popcorn, candy apples and cotton candy, counts change.
The Steel Wheels, A Rolling Stones tribute band, performs on the Canadian Heritage Stage Saturday evening.
To the delight of the crowd, Cove Herbert, 10, a member of the Golden Ears Communi-ty 4-H club, coaxes his goat Bigg through an obstacle course after a rough start.
Sarah Douglas, 14, of the Langley Beef and Swine 4-H club, shows her Hereford cross steer named Horatio to the judge.

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 City’s Offi cial 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 municipality’s fi 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. “There’s noth-ing else here like that.”
More than 85 per cent of land in Pitt Meadows is in the Agricultural Land Reserve or the region’s 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 fi 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 D’Eith, 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 D’Eith, who has lived in Maple Ridge for nine years.
D’Eith was the executive chair of the Va n c o uve r 2009 JUNO awards host c o m m i t t e e 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 Vancouver’s cultural tourism strategy task force.
Locally, D’Eith 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 D’Eith.
“I feel like it’s 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.
“We’re 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 let’s 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 there’s no evidence it’s 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 defi cit dropped by near-ly a billion dollars, even though spending on government services continued its relentless rise with another billion-dollar increase. That’s 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 aren’t 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-fi sted spend-ing control brought the defi cit down from the 10-fi 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 Bennett’s 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 government’s 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 year’s 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 confi rm 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 fi nance
ministry estimate was only for the fi 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 defi cit 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 fi 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 century’s car culture that’s 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 fi 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 it’s time for all B.C. drivers to work with it.

EDITOR, THE NEWS: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 fl 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 profi t 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 benefi t 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 fi 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 fi rm against these pressures.
Part of the ALC’s 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 notifi ed 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 fl ow of any waterway.
These rules are particularly impor-tant when the activities are to occur in an area which is subject to fl 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 fi nding in the report is that berming and fi 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 fl 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 consultant’s 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 fi ll
have to do with farming?• why does it continue to support an
activity that contravenes the agricul-tural act?
• why does it think fi ll farming for profi t 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 fi ll that is being deposited. Much of it is within metres of the North Alouette River.
The practice of uncontrolled dump-ing fi ll of next to an important salmon bearing river should not be tolerated.

EDITOR, THE NEWS: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.GRAHAM MOWATT

EDITOR, THE NEWS: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. Photo’s 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.

(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 fi deFrom: 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 fi 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.
“We’ll 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 fi 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 district’s 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.
“It’s 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 doesn’t drag into fall.
“I don’t 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 it’s 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.

Maple 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 don’t see what’s on the inside has been done right” says Davis. “It’s 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 ¼” 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 un nished 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 fi re department.
Three fi re trucks and 12 fi re-fi ghters, though, had the fi 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 fi re more than two years ago.
Assistant fi re chief Mark Smit-ton said the property owner not-ed people have repeatedly broken into the barn since.
“There’s a good chance [the fi 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 wouldn’t 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 Pacifi c 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 confl icts,” 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 Pacifi c 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 park’s 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.”
There’s still a little bit of space available for Labour Day long week-end, but Burgess said the remaining camp-sites won’t last long.
Police confi scated 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 driver’s 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 eyeA 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 theftAssault charges are
being recommended against a young wom-an who tried to steal items from a clothing store in Haney Place Mall on Saturday.
The woman pushed a store employee who tried to stop her. The stolen items were dropped dur-ing the confronta-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 fi 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 haven’t 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 it’s 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.
“It’s 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, I’ve 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 wasn’t one of them.

14 -- Wednesday, July 27, 2011 -- THE NEWS - www.mapleridgenews.com
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-quitlam’s 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 Walmart’s roof that drew one’s 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 roof’s 151,290 square-foot surface.
Bigger than two NFL-sized football fi elds, the roof is one of the larg-est in the region, and
the green-roof a fi 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 it’s 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 fi rst example of PoCo’s 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 roofi ng costs, maintenance and liabil-ity. The UDI called for a voluntary approach, more fl exibility and in-centives and the city moved in some small ways to meeting those demands.
It didn’t go as far as the City of Toronto, which offers fi 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 signifi cant, 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 project’s capital carrying costs.
“It is a signifi cant cost to the project. That said, we did experience the benefi t from a more effi -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 fi lter the storm water and create less stress on the city’s 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 traffi c 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 fi 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 fl 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 Athwal’s law-suit.
“We’ve 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 they’ve 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 fi refi ghters, should a fi re break out in any of them.
Since January 2004, the fi re department has
responded to at least 72 calls from Northumber-land Court, 11 of them fi 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 it’s 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.
“That’s just a horror show for the neighbour-hood. We’ve been very amendable and allowed him time. We are will-ing to work with the guy, but he’s got to, at some point, tear them down. We need some an-swers.”
Rawji intends to sub-mit fi nal drawings to the district for 29 town-houses and a 24-unit apartment building by the end of August.

business PROFILEADVERTORIAL
There’s a new dining and entertaining option in Maple Ridge for people on the go, but it’s 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. “We’re 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 we’ll 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.
“It’s reasonably priced and of high restaurant quality,” Kent said. “It’s gourmet, it’s high-quality, but it’s a republic; everyone is welcome”.
Greg Keenan, Gourmet Republik’s 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 Republik’s extensive equipment allows staff to make all dishes on the premises, keeping things fresh. That offers benefi ts 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. “It’s all fresh, all locally produced.”
One of their most popular dishes so far has been Keenan’s famed ribs. “Our number one selling product, we can’t even keep it in stock, is our ribs,” he said. “They’re all marinated and fully braised. They’re 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 fl avourful and innovative salads made fresh every day. “The edamame salad and crunchy cabbage just fl ies out the window. We can hardly keep up.”
The restaurant industry has been Keenan’s 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. “I’m 34 now, I started when I was 14,” Keenan said. “I’m 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 Republik’s well worth a try – make life easy on girl’s night out or for the guy’s 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 BBQ’s or healthy lunches while you’re 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 Republik’s fi rst outlet, but Kent said it could expand elsewhere over time.
“It’s 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 shouldn’t 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 604 – 463 - 3333

Jonny 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 fi lm through what look like giant sewing spindles. Aaron meticulously threads reels of fi lm through pulleys to start the movies against the clicking sound of fi 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 fi x. The soon-to-be monthly movie night only screens horror movies. The fi rst is Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead at midnight.
“I’ve 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. “There’s something about horror you can’t fi nd in other fi lms. It’s that mix of terror, but it’s still safe. You can escape the reality and do something else for a while.”
Aaron was fi 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 there’s 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 fi lms, just getting my hands on anything I could fi nd.”
It was a mission that sometimes proved diffi cult 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 Aaron’s exposure to newer, more graphic fi 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 fi 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. He’s 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. “There’s 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. It’s a study of human will.”
Attendees at this Friday’s 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 raffl e.
He says there’s a local market for his event judg-ing by the Facebook page and his conversations with others. He’s seen interest in people of all ages, but warns that most movies he screens will have an R rating. This Friday he’s hoping to fi ll the 140-seat theatre.
“I’m getting a lot of positive response for it,” said Aaron in a hat that conceals a head of black hair, half dyed green. “People’s faces just light up and they get it like I get it.”

Christopher Lee among fi ve fi nalists
Christopher Jordon Lee wants to live at YVR.
He’s scoped the place for food, knows where the good stores are. He’s taken tips from experts, in this case Tom Hanks’ character Viktor Navorski in The Terminal – a movie where Navorski fi 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 Airport’s search for an all-in-one reporter, director, editor, producer, and post-production supervisor to live at the airport for 80 days.
“I couldn’t believe I made it in the Top 5,” said the fast talking actor, who found out he was a fi nalist while in a crowded van shooting for a short fi 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 country’s 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.

Enjoy free music downtown at lunch
Colleen Flanagan
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 it’ll be really exciting, but I’m 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.
Lee’s 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 fi 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 it’s the public’s 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 airport’s exclusive First Class Lounge.
“Maybe while I’m in there, I’ll 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. He’s acted in commercials, made-for-TV movies, and short fi lms.
Lee will use the $15,000 to return to acting school and fund a web-se-ries he’s working on titled Unreeled, to be fi lmed at the Hollywood 3 Cin-ema in Pitt Meadows.
Among the other fi nalists, three are from Vancouver: Carrie Dymond, 36; Jaeger Mah, 29, and Sarah Szlo-boda, 24. The fi fth fi nalist is Marelle Reid, 29, of Coquitlam. Reid previ-ously worked as a reporter for the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows News and other Black Press publications.

Thousands of the province’s creative movers and shakers will showcase their work in more than 70 B.C. communities when the an-nual Cultural Crawl begins next week.
The decade old event will fea-ture a collection of arts and cul-tural events includes outdoor theatre, neighbourhood art walks and festivals.
The must-see Maple Ridge event is Artists in the Park, which coin-cides with B.C. Provincial Parks’ 100th birthday at Golden Ears Park on Aug. 6.
Local realist painter Elaine Booth Kallwiet will be showing her work at the one-day celebra-tion of musicians, artists, and hands-on art for children.
“Elaine’s excited to be part of the Artists in the Park celebra-tion,” said coordinator Lyn Thom-as. “Her work incorporates her love of wood carving, which gives the images extraordinary detail, texture, and realism.”
Kallwiet has been a member of the Garibaldi Art Club and the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Art Studio Tour since moving to Maple Ridge in 2003. Three of her paintings are in the first Fraser Valley Biennale that runs until Oct. 9.
• The B.C. Cultural Crawl ends

Emma Dube as part of the Vernon Army Cadet summer training centre pipes and drums band that participated in the Oliver Sunshine Festival Parade. McLean is a senior cadet employed as a staff cadet to assist with the training program. Cadets enrolled in band courses focus almost exclusively on music training to improve their skills with their chosen instruments, but they also have time for recreational swims, team sports and visits to Vernon. During the summer, more than 1,100 Army, Sea, and Air Cadets from western Canada will spend up to six weeks training in the Okanagan Valley. McLean is a member of 2277 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, based in Langley.

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 playJaden 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. “We’re 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 don’t think rust is
an issue,” said Tellis. “The break has gives a chance for a few play-ers to rest up .
“Regardless, we’ll be w e l l - p r e -
pared. It’s not hard to get
m o t iva t e d 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 don’t care as long as we’re 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. “We’d love to see some fan support for our last game of the regu-lar season.”

b y R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r fstaff repor ter
Royals clinch regular season titleFor the second time in three
seasons, the Ridge Meadows Royals have won the Midget AAA regular season title, 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.
