A Maple Ridge family doctor who deals with people living on the streets is critical of the measures Maple Ridge is taking to deal with the issue.

Dr. Liz Zubek said council seems to have ignored current service pro-viders in formulating its plan of ac-

tion, but has committed $160,000 for new outreach workers without a competitive bid process.

Zubek noted that a body of local doctors known as the Maple Ridge Division of Family Practice has a Share Care Team and hired a nurse practitioner to offer health care ser-vices to the homeless and mentally ill from an office at the Salvation Army.

Zubek mentors the nurse, meet-ing with her twice a month and helping to deal with issues as they arise. Other doctors with the divi-

sion also mentor her.Zubek, who recently spent a night

in a tent with a homeless woman in the camp on Cliff Avenue, said the Maple Ridge Homelessness Solu-tions Task Force, while in its discov-ery phase, did not consult the nurse practitioner or the division.

“We’re highly involved with that population,” said Zubek. “We would be a natural group to consult.”

Zubek asked to give input to the task force, but was ignored. She said there are other people and agen-cies working with the homeless

who should have been consulted, but were not. These include cur-rent outreach workers at Alouette Home Start Society and the Salva-tion Army.

The physician, whose office backs on to Cliff Avenue, by the Salvation Army shelter, was also critical of the city spending $160,000 for four outreach workers for a six-month term, awarding the contracts to Alouette Addictions and Canadian Mental Health in a “sole sourced” process.

The final numbers are in and the final tax increase for Maple Ridge homeowners will be 3.5 per cent this year.

Council gave final reading to the financial plan bylaw at its May 12 meeting, three days before the May 15 deadline.

For an average home valued at $400,000, the increase means an-other $94 in municipal taxes and levies.

That’s based on a tax hike of just under three per cent for municipal purposes, which includes increases for parks, for general city purposes and for an infrastructure fund, in which money is stashed away to pay later for roads and sewer line repairs.

The long-term goal for the Haney Farmer’s Market

is to ensure the event lives up to its name.

“We’re almost there,” says Eilleen Dwillies, executive-director of the Haney Farmers Market Society.

‘There,’ is attaining an 80-20 ratio of farmers and food producers to arts and crafts vendors so that fresh food is in abundance at the down-town market, held every Saturday morning from May to October.

Dwillies says the number of farmers selling their produce var-ies from week to week, depending what’s around to sell.

On the May long weekend, for instance, only eight farmers were booked in.

But then the crops start growing and harvesting happens and there is an abundance of fresh, local food for local families.

“In the hot days of summer, we do get more.”

For instance, during the follow-ing Saturday, 15 local farms were scheduled.

“Certainly better than we had 10 years ago,” said Dwillies.

The Haney Farmers Market is marking a full decade in Memorial Peace Park in downtown Maple Ridge, after opening for the first full growing season in 2005.

The market is still looking for more farmers, particularly those who fall under the old definition of “mixed farming,” operations of between one and five acres that produce a variety of crops.

Wild Fresh Seafoods and Staple-ton Sausage are now on site, but Dwillies would like to see a meat vendor.

Dwillies says being able to sell their smaller quantities locally allows those smaller farm opera-tions to survive.

“We have a number of farmers who are succeeding and living comfortably due to farmers’ mar-kets as they do not have enough quantity to sell to large grocery operations.”

Never Say Die Farms in Pitt Meadows is one of those opera-tions.

Selling their range of produce at farm markets in Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam keeps the farm viable.

“We are known for our Russian garlic,” said Se Laan. “No compari-son to other garlics.”

Her farm has been there since the market first opened for half a sea-son in 2004.

She likes the friendlier, intimate nature of the market, where buyers and sellers kibbutz and enjoy the morning.

“It’s a good market,” she adds.New last year was the ability to

buy and sample wine and beer. As a result, Damali Lavender and Winery, Maan Estate Winery, Township 7 Vineyard, Dragon Mist Vodka and Campbell’s Gold Honey and Meadery are now on

site.That attracts a new set of cus-

tomers who are not just set on get-ting the best beets.

Add in music and places to sit and drink coffee and Maple Ridge’s downtown is transformed to another world for the Saturday mornings, when a total of about 65 vendors now show up.

“It keeps the downtown lively on a Saturday,” says Dwillies.

The usual attendance of about 2,000 people jumped to 2,600 on the May 9 market, Dwillies said.

“What I hear is … our vendors are so friendly to everybody. We are a happy market.”

Farm to glass• Having local wine and beer producers sell in farmer markets is called the “farm to glass” movement, according to the B.C. government. It says that B.C. now has 299 grape, fruit and other wineries, 109 breweries and 46 distilleries. Ninety local liquor producers have applied to sell at farmers markets.• Developing a local food market is part of the Agrifoods Strategy, part of the B.C.

Jobs Plan, to lead to agrifoods $14-bil-lion in sales in 2017.• For Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick, “A trip to the market is so much more than just veggies these days. Not only are farmers’ markets social events, they’re one-stop shops for everything from locally raised meat and locally processed cheese to honey, baked goods, and B.C. liquor products - and I encour-age you to visit your local farmers’ market this season.”

The Haney Farmer’s Market also features live music and demon-strations by the Society for Creative Anachronism.

Maple Ridge coun-cil approved last week contracts to hire four outreach workers for six months as the city tries to deal with homeless-ness.

One contract is with Alouette Addiction Ser-vices for $74,800 for two street outreach workers. Each will work 30 hours a week. With benefits included, cost to the city will be $40 per hour for each worker.

According to a staff report, Alouette Addic-tions is the main agency providing street out-reach addiction services in Maple Ridge.

Recreation general manager Kelly Swift said the workers will be trained, then get on to the street within a few weeks. They’ll also work with other outreach workers.

As well, each worker will cost the city about $283 a month for cell-phone and technology expenses, while auto and insurance expenses will be another $258 a month.

Services provided by two more street out-reach workers, from

the Canadian Mental Health Association, will be cheaper – $71,315 total.

That agency will provide two outreach workers for six months for $44,284 each.

They’ll work 37.5 hours a week, at $24 and hour, plus $8 more an hour for benefits. Car allowance will be about $250 a month.

Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read said the city is working directly with B.C. Housing and is trying to set up a net-work of non-profit soci-eties to provide different types of housing.

She said the city is also working with the Alou-ette Home Start Society,

which runs the sup-portive housing project Alouette Heights.

“Ultimately, this com-munity needs a housing strategy. We have the Housing Action Plan, we need to start execut-ing. We can’t waste any time,” Read said.

She’s had several meetings with home-less people and said there are many needs among those living on the street.

Many just need their own place that they don’t have to share with roommates or others who can lead them back into the drug world, she said.

“They need some space to think.”

Council approves workers to help homeless

THE NEWS/THE NEWSA homeless camp remains along Cliff Avenue in downtown Maple Ridge.

Four outreach workers for six months

Taxes from frontIncreases to water and sewer

utilities of five and four per cent, respectively, bring the overall jump for municipal pur-poses up to 3.5 per cent.

That means residents will pay $2,772 in municipal taxes, with regional charges such as that for TransLink added on to that.

That will push up the entire tax bill for that $400,000 home

to $3,205.Similar property tax increases

are projected for Maple Ridge for the next four years. How-ever, the new council, elected in November 2014, is currently updating its long-range plans and that could affect numbers in the city’s five-year plan.

A staff report notes that the plan has had to be tweaked since December because of a

downfall in construction. That resulted in a one-per-cent in-crease in property tax revenue, half what was expected.

Budgets have been trimmed accordingly.

One of the major projects for this year is rebuilding Lougheed Highway from 224th to 227th streets, the final phase in the downtown improvement proj-ect.

Similar hikes next four years

A 35-year-old woman was airlifted out of Golden Ears Provincial Park early Saturday after she fell more than three metres near Alder Flats.

Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue were called at 4:40 a.m. The woman, who had been camping with friends in the backwoods area of the park, fell and suffered serious head trauma.

Rick Laing, manager of RMSR, said the team was able to access the fall site easily and airlift the woman to hospital.

He said a ground team was also dispatched, but because the fall happened in an area where they could land a helicopter, the extraction of the pa-tient was much faster than expected.

The RMSR team arrived about two hours after first receiving the call.

“From my understanding, she has suffered seri-ous head trauma, but that’s all we can confirm,” said Laing.

He added that a member of the camping party witnessed the fall and went to the Gold Creek Lookout for cell reception and made the call for help, while another member of the group with first aid training was able to stabilize the woman until rescue crews arrived.

The patient was flown to the Pitt Meadows Re-gional Airport, where an ambulance crew was waiting. She was then rushed to Royal Columbian Hospital.

VICTORIA – It was 2008 when word first surfaced that B.C. farmland was being bought up to grow trees as a European carbon offset.

Reckitt Benckiser Inc., a British-based global manufacturer of household products such as Lysol spray and Calgon laundry soap, bought 1,500 hectares east of Vanderhoof and planted aspen. For comparison, that’s about the size of downtown Vancouver from 16th and Oak to Stanley Park.

Since tree growing is permitted in the Agricultural Land Reserve, a use intended for fruit, ornamental or nursery trees, no permission was needed. And to meet the carbon offset rules of the UN’s Internation-al Panel on Climate Change, a 100-year restrictive covenant against harvesting trees was issued by B.C.’s land titles office.

Goodbye farmland.After that deal, the B.C. government

changed legislation in 2011 to require per-mission from the Agricultural Land Com-mission to make these covenants valid. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick says he is waiting for that process to be tested.

It likely will be soon. Reckitt has bought another 7,000 hectares of cleared farmland from Prince George down through the Cariboo to Quesnel. NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham has been tracking these acquisitions, and she says there are more

deals in the works.Last fall, the Bulkley Nechako Regional

District wrote to Victoria Wood, Reckitt Benckiser’s “global head of sustainability,” telling her that “the planting of trees on centrally located and productive agricul-tural lands is not appropriate” and would weaken local farm economies.

Wood responded that the RB Trees proj-ect targets only “marginally productive” land such as pasture, abandoned farms or those that have been up for sale for long periods.

Former Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson raised the issue in the legislature in 2008, noting that Crown land near Vanderhoof had been sold for farming, bought by a numbered company and then “flipped” for around $1 million to RB Trees.

Now mayor of Quesnel, Simpson takes issue with the company’s claims with his usual shyness.

“It’s bull----,” he told me. “This isn’t mar-ginal land.”

He said it includes prime alfalfa fields and historical ranch and forage crop lands. In one case, neighbours found out about the new use when they saw a helicopter spraying herbicide to prepare the area for tree seedlings.

In the Cariboo as in other rural B.C. areas, aging farmers want to retire and young people keen to work seven days a week are in short supply. So naturally there is pressure to sell.

Perhaps Letnick is right, and the ALC will stop productive farmland from be-ing turned back into forest. While we’re

waiting for that, here are a couple of other questions.

What happens when these forests burn? The first big forest fire of 2015 grew out of control near Prince George last week. And since aspen doesn’t last 100 years, what is its real carbon offset value?

How’s that European carbon trading market doing? It’s a mess, with the cost of emitting a tonne of carbon dioxide fallen far below what’s needed to be effective, and Interpol investigating various schemes to game the system.

Remember B.C.’s own Pacific Carbon Trust? This Gordon Campbell brainchild to sell carbon offsets was quietly green-house gassed after the Auditor General revealed its first two big projects were of questionable value to say the least.

Finally, does anyone really think that returning B.C.’s scarce farmland to forest is a good way to change the weather? Would it offset the loss of local production and trucking in farm produce from elsewhere?

And where are B.C.’s tireless food security advocates on this dubious scheme?

Sacrificing farmland for climate

Voter interestIngrid RiceNews Views

The number of people who have already voted in the plebiscite on the proposal to boost the sales tax by 0.5 per cent to pay for transit expansion is very heartening.

As of last week, Elections B.C. had received and screened 616,519 Metro Vancouver transit referen-dum ballots from 39.5 per cent of registered voters.

That is about 10 per cent above the average num-ber who voted in the 2014 municipal elections.

Why is there such interest in voting on this plebi-scite?

For one thing, it’s much easier to take part. All vot-ers have to do is fill out the ballot and mail it back to Elections B.C. If they want to drop the completed ballots by a Elections B.C. storefront, they can do that instead.

Second, there is only one decision to make. This is very different from the municipal ballot, where vot-ers are asked to choose one candidate for mayor, and from a host of others for council.

So it is much easier to make a decision.Third, there is strong public interest in this ques-

tion. TransLink service affects many people — it of-fers bus and SkyTrain service to residents, and helps pay for road maintenance. It also operates the tolled Golden Ears and free Pattullo bridges.

Paying more sales tax to help fund the service is controversial. While many people in Vancouver, where transit service is good, are all for paying a bit more to add services (including a new subway line under Broadway, which accounts for almost one-third of the amount to be raised by the tax increase), most people in the eastern suburbs will gain little in the way of new services.

This is a concern.Ballots must be in the hands of Elections B.C. by 8

p.m. on Friday, May 29. The participation rate indicates that many people

are very interested in casting ballots on this ques-tion. If you haven’t voted yet, do so soon.

Editor, The News:The feedback from the majority of residents is

they do not want an off-leash dog area in Westview Park.

So what happened at last week’s council meeting? Our voices were not heard. The people who live in the neighbourhood say no. Instead, people who are not residents of the neigh-

bourhood are forcing the dog park upon us, albeit a six-month trial to garner feedback, which they have already received.

It’s bad enough we have homeless people who live in the park. We have drug dealers in the park and the high school kids utilize the park as a smoke pit.

The plus side? The area is heavily in use already with tons of chil-

dren playing sports on nearby fields, and wee little ones playing on the playground and at the bike park.

The high school and elementary school use the park as part of their outdoor recreation programs.

Not to mention that kids cut through the park to go to and from school.

Current bylaw signs everywhere state to leash and clean up after your dog, but the rules are not being enforced.

Maybe these new signs enforcing rules for the un-wanted dog park will generate enough revenue to re-place the tax dollars that are currently being wasted.

Perhaps they can also pay for the mess that will be left behind and ideally, permit parking for the residents, considering there is no available parking as it stands.

Editor, The News:Re: Cancelling buses is shortsighted (Let-

ters, May 13).I am one of the parents who attended the

school board public meeting held to dis-cuss the ‘proposed’ cancellation of school buses in 2016.

It was clear from the start the decision had been made, budget cuts had to happen and busing was the obvious target.

Nevertheless, parents were allowed to voice their concerns.

I know some people think it’s the respon-sibility of parents to ensure their children get to school and shouldn’t rely on school buses. However, I believe that Maple Ridge is somewhat unique in ways that make get-ting to school a responsibility that should be shared.

Consider:• East Maple Ridge and the Silver Valley

are not served well by TransLink – some areas are not served at all and the few that are have limited buses that do not operate during start and end times of schools, such as Webster’s Corners.

• Many areas in rural east Maple Ridge do not have sidewalks or street lights, and wildlife such as bears and cougars are often seen. For some parents, that takes away the option of having their children walk long distances to school.

• Children living in the catchment area

of schools that have no room, such as Al-bion elementary, do not have the option of walking to their local school and are forced to attend other schools that are not within walking distance and are not served by TransLink. In many of these situations, homes were built and bought with the promise that a school would soon be built, but the reality is that the nearby school has no room.

• Local government allows developers to build in areas where the local catchment area schools are located – the great answer to this was to widen the catchment areas so, guess what? The catchment school that is taking students is not local anymore and is not within walking distance.

I don’t have all the answers to this prob-lem, but I would like to think the following options could at least be considered.

For every house a developer builds in an area where schools are full, have the devel-oper donate a specific amount to the school board to assist with transportation issues.

Local government should stop allowing development in areas where schools are full until a new school is built or until school busing services are restored.

The provincial government should rec-ognize all school districts are not the same and provide help with transportation fund-ing in rural areas.

TransLink should also look at the issues

faced by school-age children and consider adding buses during school start and end times.

Parents who have no option but to use the school bus services should continue to pay a fee each year – this year I paid $400 for my children to ride the bus and was happy to do so.

Anita BrierleyMaple Ridge

Small feeEditor, The News:Re: Cancelling buses is shortsighted (Let-

ters, May 13).It is not necessary for any school district

to provide bus service to students. The cost is approximately $1,091 a year per student to transport them.

The small fee that was charged this year is nothing compared to the actual cost.

To say that it is shortsighted and irre-sponsible, I have to disagree. The board has tough decisions to make every year with what the government dictates to them. This year was busing. Last year it was staff. What does next year bring?

We need to take a stand against the prov-ince as it continues to underfund public education.

Homeless from front“Nobody else was even al-

lowed to submit proposals,” she said.

The budget also includes $25,000 for security, but the services of bylaws and RCMP should already be included in the budget, Zubek added.

She said the city was not in-

“Why would they not ask for expertise? They had a pre-set agenda,” Zubek said. “And what we had to say did not meet their agenda.”

She predicts the city will de-tain people with mental health and addiction issues, offering them treatment and getting them off the street temporarily.

But she said proper housing must be the

“At the end [of treat-ment], they have no place to go and live. The risk of relapse and addition is in-credibly high.

“You can’t go in there and do a clean sweep, and in six months make addiction and mental health issues go away,” said Zubek.

She said people in the home-less camp on Cliff Ave. are “legitimately suspicious” of the new outreach work-ers, and would prefer to deal with the people who have been supporting them, and with whom they have built trust.

Mayor Nicole Read defend-ed council’s actions so far, and said she too has made numer-ous visits to the camp on Cliff

basis with at least three of the women there.

“Tracy, Linda, Anita – they’ve

…” she said. “We are meeting with them. They are a powerful voice in the conversation.”

Council is also consulting

said, and agrees with the as-sertion that housing must be a priority.

“We have a whole housing conversation going on in the background.”

That includes meeting with the provincial housing agency last week.

“We’ve brought B.C. Housing to the table,” said Read. “They like what we’re doing.”

She said there is no housing

a n -

nounce-ment coming, but council is looking at ser-vice options for low barrier hous-ing.

“It’s going to be a challenge.”

She said some in the homeless camp are con-sidered street-entrenched people.

“Those people are very hard to house.”

Also, the city is trying to determine whether more open-ings can be made at Alouette Heights, a third-stage housing facility that offers 45 beds to

people who have successfully completed addiction treatment, and are at risk of homelessness. Although people are supposed to be there for a limited dura-tion, then move on to affordable rental properties, 23 have been staying there since it opened in July 2012, said the mayor.

The lack of affordable hous-ing, the reasons that homeless people camp rather than use the Salvation Army shelter, and the demand for low barrier support-ive housing for people coming right out of a homeless camp are all key issues the city is dealing with, said Read.

“We have a shelter, but right nearby we have a camp, so

something is not working there with the model.”

She defended the $160,000 funding given to Alouette Ad-dictions and Canadian Mental Health to fund outreach work-ers, saying it is legal and within the city’s procurement policies, and that the need was consid-ered urgent.

is that these people need help,” said the mayor.

“We have contracted the main service providers,” she said, adding that there are no local agencies with greater expertise.

She said council is in touch with Fraser Health, and has consulted at least one doctor.

A new cost is coming to

from the province, and it will hit the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District for some $475,000.

A new province-wide Inter-net access service for schools will replace the former Pro-

vincial Learning Network (PLNet), offering a secure, high-speed connection.

School District No. 42 chair Mike Murray acknowledges that the so-called New Gen-erations Network is needed, but the annual funding for the system will cut into the fund-ing available to the board.

“The bottom line is that it’s an additional cost that is be-

ing put on school boards,” said Murray, who learned about the latest hit to the bud-get just last week.

The board has cut $8 mil-lion and 70 positions from its past two budgets, and was just ordered by the province

-ministrative savings over the next two years.

The district will eliminate

school bus service in Sep-tember 2016 as a cost-cutting measure.

Murray said so much has been cut from the budget, that further cuts are into core services.

“It’s another unfunded ex-pense being passed on to boards by the province.”

The new system will impact the 2016-2017 budget.

B y J e f f N a g e lBlack Press

TransLink will likely abandon its zone sys-tem and tap-out re-quirement for buses and charge all bus riders for one zone only when it eventually rolls out the rest of its delayed Com-pass card program.

There’s no final date set yet to fully activate the faregates and smart card system, which was mandated by the provincial government seven years ago and supposed to have been operational by fall of 2013.

It’s been bedevilled by technical problems ranging from slow, er-

ror-prone card valida-tors on buses to website deficiencies.

But officials an-nounced Thursday they’re taking another step forward by roll-ing Compass out to all West Coast Express us-ers in June and to all university students with U-Passes by the end of summer, boosting the number of users by Sep-tember to 220,000 out of an eventual 850,000.

The biggest road-blocks to a full launch have been the slow read times to tap in and out on buses – slowing down service – and the fear that many passen-gers will fail to tap out when exiting and be overcharged.

Three quarters of Met-ro Vancouver bus riders travel only one zone but would be charged the default three zones if they fail to tap out.

C o m m u n i c a t i o n s vice-president Colleen Brennan said charg-ing for one zone only on buses – effectively forgoing the extra zone charges that a quarter of bus passengers now pay on routes that span two or three zones – ap-pears to be the best way to solve the bus system problems.

Passengers would still be asked to tap out but it wouldn’t be manda-tory and they wouldn’t be charged more if they fail to do so.

“The solution that

makes the most sense would be to go to a sin-gle zone on an interim basis on the bus during peak periods,” Brennan said. “That’s looking like the simplest option that would make it sim-plest for our customers as well. So that’s the one that we are exploring.”

In any event, it’s not clear how TransLink would have been able to stop bus passengers on two- or three-zone routes from tapping the exit validator early on their trip and paying only one zone anyway.

TransLink officials weren’t able to provide an estimate of how much extra-zone rev-enue might be lost as a result.

But it would presum-ably mean a transit price break for passengers on multi-zone routes, such as buses between South Surrey and the Canada Line or the 555 from north Langley over the Port Mann Bridge to the Millennium Line. A trip downtown for those riders might drop from the three-zone cost of $5.50 to $4 for two zones.

Optional bus tap outs would erode one of the prime benefits expected from the Compass sys-tem – accurate details on the start and end of each trip so TransLink planners can more pre-cisely match route ser-vice levels with demand and ultimately shift

from the current zones to a distance-based pricing system.

As for the system’s technical performance, Brennan said progress has been made by the U.S. contractor, Cubic Transportation Sys-tems.

“It’s more reliable, the tap speed is faster, it’s more accurate and more reliable than where we were,” she said.

Starting June 8, Com-pass cards will be hand-ed out to 7,500 West Coast Express passen-gers and they will be the first actual revenue customers to start using the Compass website to manage their account and load and reload stored value online.

Brennan called that a significant milestone.

By the end of summer all 130,000 students from 10 universities or post-secondary schools who now use paper U-Passes will be on Com-pass as well, in addition to the 85,000 cards al-ready in use by B.C. bus pass holders and Trans-Link employees.

Brennan said Trans-Link remains commit-ted to a careful “phased approach versus a big bang” rollout of Com-pass.

There has been no further increase in the $194-million budget for the smart card and fare gates program, which was originally estimat-ed at $170 million.

Compass coming to WCEBus riders may pay one zone

Referendum nears 40 per cent

Elections B.C. has now received and screened 616,519 Metro Vancouver transit referendum ballots from 39.5 per cent of registered vot-ers.

The breakdown of returned ballots shows the count has now surpassed No-vember’s municipal election turnout in every municipality of the region.

Spokesman Don Main said Elections B.C. has caught up in processing incoming ballots and no longer has a significant back-log to work through.

The latest numbers come as a final push is on by both the Yes and No camps in the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite to ensure every voter gets a ballot.

Some residents may not have received bal-lot packages because they misplaced or lost them or they receive one for other reasons, such as an address change.

Midnight on Friday was the deadline to ask Elections B.C. for a new one.

There are nine Elec-tions B.C. plebiscite offices in Metro Van-couver where voting can also be done on the spot. For locations and hours see http://www.elections.bc.ca/plebiscite/where.html.

B y M a g d a l e n a R o m a n o w

Many people have heard of “Grumpy Cat,” or watched

YouTube and read the diary of the sad cat.

Cats are often portrayed as slightly less than friendly creatures who live life on their own terms. Felines are seen by many as independent, aloof, some even suggest they have no personality.

Obviously, those people have never owned a cat.

The truth is that cats have more personality than you can imagine, and some of them can be quite unpredict-able. Cats are very sensitive to their environment and it influences their personality in later years. We have many cats who were abandoned due to behavioural issues. Unfor-tunately, for the most part, the behavioural issues are the result of initial feline/human interaction that was negative.

Cats that have been abused become weary of humans. They don’t forgive and forget

like their canine counterparts, who will often accept negative attention over no attention at all. An abused cat will lash out in defense, and this reac-tion will likely carry over to a new home. This is not to say that they cannot be rehabili-tated, but it takes a lot of time and patience.

Cats that have been aban-doned by their owners on the streets can quickly revert to a feral state. For example, a female cat left on the streets will eventually come around in a new home. But if she has kittens and they are not so-cialized within the first few weeks, they remain in a feral or semi-feral state. These cats can be very shy and aggressive if approached inappropriately.

Then we have the over stimulated cat. These cats are friendly and loving, but will swat if your attention becomes too much for them to handle. They don’t mean to be aggres-sive, but the over stimulation pushes them over their limit.

Similarly, there are cats who will allow two or three pets

and then attack you. We actu-ally have cats who are known for the exact number of pets they will allow before their paw strikes your hand.

Finally, we have the diva cats (usually female) who don’t ac-cept anything less than exactly what they want. They too can show aggression to humans and other animals.

Few of them were born this way.

This negative and aggres-sive behavior is the result of improper interaction with hu-mans in the formative months after birth. A bad home expe-rience, a bad human experi-ence, a bad experience with other animals stays with a cat.

Some come around fully, some don’t. A kitten raised properly in a loving home will be an affectionate companion, who will never raise its paw to you.

These grumpy cats deserve loving homes just like any other feline. They are bro-ken because of humans, and only humans can put the pieces back together. It won’t

be something that happens overnight, and most of all you have to give them space. It is very important to remember that many cats with behav-ioural issues will not change if you are smothering them, or physically trying to show them affection. Let them be. Let them learn to trust you. Let them feel safe. Learn their boundaries.

In some cases you will have to accept their faults, since they may never fully recover.

Whatever trauma caused the behavior is simply too se-vere to overcome. They will lash out because that is what they had to do to survive be-fore.

Cats are very complex crea-tures with complex personali-ties.

You can appreciate them fully if you learn to under-stand them.

Grumpy cats deserve loving homes just like others

Members of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school board said they have had a good response to their online facilities review questionnaire, with some 600 responses already.

The survey asks parents what factors are impor-tant to them in choosing a school, how far they are willing to travel for choice programs, and what choice programs should be offered the dis-trict.

The most asked-for choice programs were a fine arts academy (46 per cent), secondary envi-ronmental education (33 per cent), horticultural trades (29 per cent) and an International Bacca-laureate program for age 11-16 students (28 per cent).

Only 16 per cent of re-spondents said they are already satisfied with the choices offered by the school district.

About 73 per cent of the surveys were filled out by parents, and 25 per cent by district employees.

The online survey clos-es May 25 at 4 p.m.

The next step will be two open houses on June 8 and June 10 to consult with the public.

In the moviesSchool District 42 will

be asking for higher rent when motion picture production companies want to shoot at schools in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

The City of Maple Ridge offers a film li-aison service that aims to provide production companies a “one-stop shop” for all their loca-tion scouting, permits and licences. The school district is leveraging this service when adver-tising school properties to the movie industry.

District staff found rental rates here were significantly lower than other Lower Mainland school districts, and raised them from $1,200 per day to $2,000 per day for interiors and $1,650 for exteriors. There are also fees of $1,100 per day for prep days, and $400 for parking.

The board approved the higher rents, and that 20 per cent of the net rental revenue for filming in school will be shared with host schools.

More rentThe board has put off

the review of the effects of its dramatic increas-es in rental rates for gymnasiums and other facilities to commu-nity groups and sports teams.

Secretary treasurer Flavia Coughlan said

the review is due, but will be done in Janu-ary of 2016. Teacher job action at the end of the last school year and beginning of this year interrupted the leases of some user groups, so a true comparison can not be made.

The district is con-tacting all previous ten-ants who are no longer leasing school space, and offering it back to them. Some are coming back on board, noted Coughlan.

When rental rates increased from subsi-dized to cost-recovery rates, many users left, and some appealed to the board to have the rates lower. The West Coast Football Club, for example, saw its gym rental rates rise from $5 per hour to $33.75 per hour, and many teams moved outdoors for practices.

Maple Ridge’s Dakota Daulby knows all to well you have to take advan-

tage of every opportunity given. The actor from Maple Ridge used an audition for a small part in the movie Black Fly to make his im-pression on the director. So much so, he ended up securing the lead role in the movie.

Now Daulby has been nominat-ed for two Leo awards, announced on May 11. The Leo’s honour ex-cellence in B.C. film and televi-sion, and will be handed out over three nights on June 6, 13 and 14.

Daulby, 20, earned the nod for best lead actor for his roles in the feature film Black Fly, as well as for best lead in the short film Roar.

Black Fly, a thriller that centers

on a pair of estranged brothers who reunite on an isolated island years after their father died in a hunting accident and their mother committed suicide, was nominat-ed for 10 awards in total.

Daulby said the road to landing the lead role in the film was not the typical path most actors take.

“It’s kind of interesting because at first I was auditioning for a mi-nor character and wasn’t that ex-cited,” said Daulby.

But he quickly shook off his neg-ative vibe thanks to the advice of one of his first theatrical teachers at New Image College of Fine Arts in Vancouver, two-time Gemini award winner, Phillip Granger.

“I remember him telling me when I was very young and first starting out that it’s never about the size of the character’s role, but it’s what you put into that charac-ter,” Daulby recalled. “Some of the best roles and some of the perfor-mances have been done by actors that are only in the film for five

or six minutes. You can do a lot with very little. It’s not about how many words you have on the page or lines you have. You get out of it what you put into it.”

So he went into the audition for Black Fly and made a conscience decision to take a risk with the character he hoped to portray. It paid off. A few days later he was back in the audition room trying out for the lead. The next thing he knew he was on set, landing the top role.

“I decided to do something dif-ferent from the typical actor,” he explained. “ I have no interest in playing your typical character types. It’s not what interests me. I want to do something that’s risky, and that can be scary sometimes. But that’s what makes it interest-ing for me and for the director.”

Daulby’s fellow best lead ac-tor nominee and Black Fly co-star, Matthew MacCaull, was also nominated in the same category as Daulby for Roar.

“I couldn’t help but laugh when I learned that Matt and I were nominated together in both cat-egories,” Daulby said from his Maple Ridge home. “We went through this crazy and exhilarat-ing experience that was Black Fly, and then onto Roar immediately afterwards. It seems only natural for us to cap it all off and go mano a mano at the Leos.”

The young actor said he feels so honored to be chosen as part of such an illustrious group.

“We all put a lot of heart and soul into Black Fly,” he said. “I’m so excited to see our fantastic cast and crew’s efforts being recog-nized with 10 nominations.”

Black Fly, which was also nomi-nated for best motion picture, was written and directed by fellow Leo award nominee Jason Bourque. The film is currently on Super-channel and is also at Cannes, where it is being shown to poten-tial distributors.

Roar, nominated for best short

drama, was directed by Stuart Langfield and Dylan Rekert, who are also up for Leo. The short film that explores the relation-ship between two brothers who are brought together to fulfill their grandfather’s final wishes.

While Daulby is looking forward to walking the red carpet on award night, like any actor, life is always about the next project.

He just wrapped up a TV movie called Pretty Little Addict, di-rected by Monika Mitchell, and has been working on a web series with a company called New Im-age Entertainment. He said with the growing trend of digital movie production and the ability to mar-ket products without having the traditional big name production company, it’s important to be as dynamic as possible.

“I was able to write several epi-sodes, as well as produce and got the chance to direct one, which is fantastic because it’s something I want to get into,” he said.

It’s a long way to the top for student’s of Samuel Robert-

son Technical School of Rock program, but with a little help from some friends in Vancouver, the kids appear to be al-right.

Students of the musical class in Maple Ridge were given a first-hand look at what it takes to record their music thanks in part to a visit Friday by Nim-bus School of Recording and Media, based out of Vancouver.

Rob Stefanson of Nim-bus said it’s important for students to be able to get a clearer understanding of what a career in the music industry looks like.

He said the days of bands simply plugging in and playing are long gone.

Artists today have to understand much more

than just which note to play.

He said everything from marketing to engi-neering comes into play with so many young up and coming artists.

“There’s an advantage to having so much tech-nology at your finger-

tips,” said Stefanson, a veteran of 15 years in the music industry. “Bands can record and mix their own music, and with the advent of social media, connect with their fans like never before.”

He said students now have the opportunity

not only to improve on their music skills at post secondary schools, but enhance their business acumen in a complex in-dustry.

For SRT School of Rock

teacher Allard Ludwig, the chance to bring in Nimbus coincides with his desire to expand the program.

“That’s been my vision,” said Ludwig, who is in his first year overseeing the program. “The program is quite strong, but I want to expand on the techni-cal side.”

This year the class is made up of six differ-ent bands. All are work-ing on perfecting their sound, which will culmi-nate with a performance at the ACT on June 22.

“It’s grown from and after school program to becoming a huge part of the school’s culture,” Lud-wig added.

He said exposing the students to the finer art of actually what goes into making and recording music will only strength-en the program.

Nimbus’ head audio engineer Dean Marher, who has worked with such acts as AC/DC, the Tragically Hip and

R.E.M., was also on hand. He set up shop just out-side the classroom doors in Nimbus’ newest mo-bile recording studio.

For the students, the chance to hear their work professionally mixed was a rare glimpse into the other side of the music industry.

Logan Mahaffey plays lead guitar in one of the class bands. Drawing on influences like Noel Gal-lagher of Oasis, Blink 182, and John Mayer, he said he also loves classic rock of guitar god Jimi Hendrix.

While the five-member group may be struggling to come of up with a band name that sticks, the guitarist knows the chance to hear them-selves professionally re-corded is rare.

“This is a really great opportunity that doesn’t come along very often,” he said. “I appreciate the chance to hear about the other side of the busi-ness.”

Your Choice Could Set Them On The Right Path



Reid Muller got it all.His first goal was a

track and field scholar-ship, second to compete for an NCAA first division school, and third to be on the West Coast, where he could run against the likes of prestigious track teams Oregon, UCLA and Stanford.

And last week the Pitt Mead-ows track star got exactly what he wanted as he signed a track scholarship worth $100,000 with Washington State University in Pullman, to cover his full out-of-state tuition and all school fees. It was the realization of a dream that he has thought about since Grade 8, when he saw one of his track coaches head to the U.S. as a track star on scholarship.

It was a great week – the Pitt Meadows Marauder also took silver medals in both the 1,500m and 800m events at the Fraser Valley Championships in Ab-botsford.

Muller took second at the pro-vincial championships in both

of his events last year as a Grade 11, and he’ll be in the hunt for gold at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships on June 4-6 in Langley.

His high school track coach, Lance Kraus, said Muller has a rare passion for running.

“I knew in Grade 8 he’d get something,” said Kraus, who has known the kid for a long time – he taught Muller in Grade 4 at Pitt Meadows elementary.

“He’s a natural talent for sure, and does a lot of hard, hard work.”

Kraus said Muller trains with different groups, in different styles, and can get a lot out of even a short workout session be-cause of the intensity he brings.

Muller wasn’t walking long before he started running. It’s in the family. His father Eric and mother Lorie, known locally for their Athletes in Kind char-ity run, have been competitive runners and also run the Sole Experience Running Company.

They have given their son a true love of the sport.

“I do really enjoy the train-ing,” said Reid. “It’s not a chore to have to get up on Saturday morning to train.”

Reid credits his father for giv-

ing him the mindset a runner needs.

“Dad helps me more with the mental aspects of racing.”

And he credits his club track coach Andrew Lenton, who has been his pri ncipal coach for the past four years.

“He’s an awesome coach, for his dedication to me as an athlete.”

As a student, he gets As and Bs, and will take his sports acu-men into the study of kinesiol-ogy, and is interested in sports medicine.

He’s looking forward to running the in NCAA for the Washington State Cougars. It’s a big stage, as their college track meets bring thousands of fans.

“The atmosphere for track is so much greater there,” he said.

They are trying to rebuild their track team, and Muller will be joining another local track standout in Nathan Wadhwani, who was also recruited by the Cougars.

Kraus expects Muller to con-tinue his development, with the potential to become a college track star.

“If he gets the right coaching, and works hard on his speed, he’s got another level to him.”


The Maple Ridge Ramblers won both the junior and senior girls team banners at the Fraser Valley Track and Field Championships, which were held last week in Ab-botsford.

“Our girls did really, really well,” said team coach Ken Elphick, not-ing that the school hasn’t won a banner at the event since the 1990s.

“It was a year to build on, for sure. In the next few years we could take a run at a B.C. championship.”

More than 30 individual athletes from the school will move on to the provincial championships, sched-uled for June 4-6 in Langley. The Fraser Valleys is considered the

toughest meet outside of the pro-vincials, said Elphick.

“So the kids who medalled at the Frasers will have a chance to medal at the B.C.s.”

There are about 80 athletes on the team, and 44 qualified for the Fra-ser Valleys. Even in the heyday of the program, there were never so many Ramblers at the Valleys, said Elphick.

The numbers are great, but there is also impressive talent.

Kate Meredith set a new meet re-cord in the junior girls shot put, at 11.43m, even though she had only practiced her technique about half a dozen times.

“She’s got a huge upside if she de-cides to really sink her teeth into track and field,” said the coach.

He said Mikhaela Tinkham was impressive running a tough triple – the 800m, 1500m and the 3,000m, and finished second, second and fifth respectively.

Elphick also said the school is enjoying a great relationship with the Golden Ears track team, and the athletes are getting top-notch coaching.

There were more great results from athletes in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district on the final day of he Fraser Valley Track and Field championships, Thursday in Abbotsford:

• Natalie Rycroft of MRSS won the senior girls high jump.

• Abisayo Ajibike of MRSS won the senior girls 200m.

As many as 2,000 stu-dents are expected to take part in School District No. 42’s annual elemen-tary track and field cham-pionships.

Grades 4 and 5 students get underway June 4, fol-lowed by Grades 6 and 7 on June 5 at Maple Ridge secondary.

Paul Moran, a teacher who has been organizing the event for 10 years, says it’s nice to see so many schools taking part in the event.

“All the schools have been training for the past three weeks, which is great to see,” he said. “While only the top stu-dents get to go on, we’re really encouraged by the numbers. For us, it’s all about participation.”

While the sprints are al-ways the highlight of any track competition, Mo-ran said the biggest draw for students is high jump and the discus. Participa-tion in those events is so high trials had to start two weeks ahead of time to get down to the top 18 students who take part in the finals.

“The number of kids jumping is crazy,” said Moran. “It’s just so much fun for them. They’re young, strong and flexible and everyone wants to go that one rung higher.”

Moran said the two sports offer students who don’t normally enjoy run-ning a chance to partici-pate.

“Over the two days we will probably have over 2,000 children, hundreds of staff members and hundreds of parents at-tend the track meet,” he said.

He’s encouraged that track and field is going strong in the school dis-trict.

“Participation, as al-ways, is the key when dealing with elementary athletics.”

In Memory ofSteven Gregory Willis

April 23, 1973 - May 15, 1995No words I write could ever say how sad and

empty we feel still today.Twenty years have come and gone since you were here, and oh so strong.

Our young man so strong and full of life

Was taken from our world and our life.

I remember home and the old time, when u were so young and in your prime.

You were so young when u went away, 22 years is all

you got to stay.Yours and our futures

blown apart, and with ita hole, and a broken heart.

We try our best tounderstand

And brave the bitter grief that comes.

Steven, why did you have to go away? Why wasn’t it

right for you to stay?Life can be very cruel at a

time, to have taken u in your prime.

We miss u each and every day and wish that u were

here to stay.The Angels came for you

much sooner than we planned.

In our hearts you will always be there,

What we are suffering seems so unfair

But one thing is for certain,Our love for you will

always be there.Steven our son you always will be, the most important part of our heart’s memory.These are questions I ask myself everyday. Why oh

why were you taken away!Love, Mom, Dad,

Shannon and Granny

Leo Robert TremblayFeb 23, 1952 - May 21, 2014

The moment that you left us, our hearts were split in two, one side was fi lled with memories, the other side died with you.We often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon our cheeks.Remembering you is easy, we do it every day, but missing you is a heartache that never goes away.We hold you tightly within our hearts and there you will remain. You see life has gone on without you but we will never be the same.

Till we see your beautiful smile again Papi/Leo,

Your adoring daughter forever Danielle and your

devoted, loving wifeforever Cheryl.

Leo Robert TremblayFeb 23 1952 - May 21 2014

One year ago May 21st, we lost a loving, kind and generous soul, who was the most wonderful man in our world. We remain empty and hollow without you. You were our hero and we will always miss your strength, wisdom & unconditional love.They say time heals all, but the pain and emptiness has not faded for us. You are remembered for your positive spirit and beautiful smile, and your willingness to always help everyone.

Until we see your beautifulsmile again...

Rest in Peace My Love

Forever missing you,Your loving wife forever, Cheryl, son and friend

Darryl, devoted & adoring daughter Danielle, loving

son-in-law Darian, and loving grandsonsMatthew & Isaac

RICK GOYFebruary 18, 1957 - May 20, 2014

A year has passed and we still miss you terribly.You have left a big hole

in our hearts.Love Linda & Family
