One local astronomer isblaming streetlights andglowing signs for turning

Maple Ridge’s night sky into ashadow of its former self.

“I bought a telescope and foundthe problems of looking at thenight sky,” said Mark Eburne, amember of the Royal AstronomicalSociety of Canada and chair of theorganization’s Vancouver LightPollution Abatement committee.

Eburne realized the reason hecouldn’t see the stars was lightpollution, an accumulation oflight from man-made sources thatbrightens the night and has beenlinked to certain health problems.

Eburne has since dedicatedhimself to eradicating the problemand bringing the constellationsback into focus.

The amateur astronomer hasbeen providing information to PittMeadows and Maple Ridge officialsover the past year in hopes ofeliminating the dull glare he saidhangs over the area at night.

“Eighty per cent of kids will neversee the Milky Way because of lightpollution,” he said.

Eburne said Maple Ridge MayorErnie Daykin has been veryreceptive on the issue.

“Ernie is the one who has really

spearheaded it for me,” he said.Daykin said light pollution is one

of several environmental issues hisstaff is investigating.

Still, Daykin said it might beawhile before nights darken inMaple Ridge.

“I don’t know if it’s going toget done six months from now or18 months from now,” he said,discussing a report he’s waiting forfrom staff.

Daykin acknowledged moving at aslower pace than Eburne would likebut said reducing light pollutionneeds to be balanced with publicsafety concerns.

“Do street lights need to be onfull-bore at night?” he asked.“Maybe not.”

Daykin said the new lamps beinginstalled downtown have shadesthat make the light point straightdown.

For Eburne, sooner is definitelybetter. “I really equate it to themove to recycling,” he said.

Besides developers who don’taccount for light pollution whenbuilding, Eburne said his mainobstacle is the reluctance of the PittMeadows and Maple Ridge councilsto enact new rules.

“They’re very cautious aboutputting in new bylaws,” he said.

Eburne said part of educating thepublic is letting people know lightpollution affects everyone.

“It’s a worldwide problem,” hesaid.

Besides sleep problems, Eburnesaid too much light at night hasbeen linked to some forms ofcancer.

A group of scientists in Israelpublished a report in 2008 linkinglight pollution to a rise in breastcancer in Israeli women employedas shift-workers.

The Royal Commission ofEnvironmental Protection in theUnited Kingdom has publisheda report tracing light pollution tosuppression of melatonin levels.

Melatonin helps regulate thebody’s circadian rhythm, theinternal clock that tells peoplewhen to sleep and when to wakeup.

Besides possible health risks,

Eburne said excessive light doesn’tmake economic sense. “It justwastes a lot of money to producelight that is not used,” he said.

Eburne said dealing with lightpollution would not make streetsmore dangerous.

“The correct lighting is safer thanmore lighting,” he said.

Some data also indicates lightpollution might have an effect onbirds.

A 2005 study by the United StatesFederal Aviation Administrationfound birds were more likely to flyinto control towers that used steadyburning lights.

The report predicted a switch toflashing beacons could reduce birdfatalities by as much as 70 per cent.

It’s called light pollution and Maple Ridge’s Mark Eburne wants us to take it seriously to make our community more livable.

Welcome.Like a smile, it is a universal language. One

that bridges cultures, breaks downbarriers, and enables individuals toconnect. It is about helping peopleexperience a sense of belonging.

The Maple Ridge Pitt MeadowsDiversity Health Fair has embracedthis definition of “welcome”across cultures. Local residents areencouraged to visit 12150-224thStreet, this Saturday from 11 a.m. to3 p.m. to learn how to better access local, regional,and provincial health and wellness resources.

Willie Pierre, cultural/spiritual advisor, of theKatzie First Nation will open the Diversity HealthFair with a traditional Katzie welcome and prayer

that includes individuals of all nationalities. Localvolunteer translators will extend this ‘welcome’

in a variety of languages. Healthand wellness professionals andvolunteers are coming together toactively remove the barriers thatimmigrant and refugees face whenthey arrive in our communities.

“One of the challenges immigrantsand refugees face when they cometo Canada is learning how to accessour health care system,” notes Angie

McLeod, project manager for the Diversity HealthFair.

“As a result many new immigrants and refugeesexperience an increasing decline in health thelonger they reside in Canada. This fair brings

health care providers together in one place for easeof access and creates a supportive environmentthat encourages visitors to ask questions.”

To reduce one of the common barriers faced byimmigrants and refugees when accessing healthcare — language — volunteer translators (Spanish,Farsi, Punjabi, Turkish, Cantonese, Mandarin) willbe on hand to assist visitors who speak English asa second language.

The Diversity Health Fair is about askingquestions, hands-on learning, and sharinginformation. Visitors can: learn about healthycooking and lifestyles; take part in fitness classes;tap their foot to ethnic music; watch culturaldancers; or, sample ethnic foods.

To learn more call McLeod at 476-2447 or e-mail [email protected].

Diversity Health Fair helps new arrivals access health care

The medical system canbe daunting for anyonetrying to recover from

an illness — but it’s evenharder for people who aredealing with professionalswho use difficult terms andesoteric jargon when theyaren’t doing it in the patient’sfirst language.

Darren Roh immigrated toCanada about 16 months agofrom Korea and it took himand his family a few monthsto figure out the system andfind a family doctor. But afterthose initial difficulties, theharder problem turned out tobe communicating.

He struggles to explainwhat his symptoms are andhow they are manifesting,and when the doctor replies,it’s hard to understand whathe or she is saying becauseof the difficult vocabulary.

“I have (much) knowledgein my brain but it’s difficultto express in English,” Rohsaid.

The terminology usedby doctors can be difficultto understand for Englishspeakers, much less for newimmigrants who are stilllearning English.

Roh said his wife, who is apharmacist, was having a lotof problems explaining hersymptoms to doctors here inCanada. She was having a lotof headaches, but he said it’shard to explain in a foreignlanguage what the symptomsare — how much and whatkind of pain she has andhow often it occurs.

Roh has a PhD in medicalscience and works as aresearcher in air qualitycontrol, but he still struggles

at doctor’s appointments.“It’s very hard to explain

my symptoms or my wife’s,”Roh said. “(It’s) hard tounderstand the doctor.”

His wife has started seeinga doctor in Burnaby who isof Korean descent, who hasboth good English and a veryclear accent in Korean. Whileit’s far to go to see a doctor,being able to communicatein Korean makes the tripworth it.

In addition to languagebarriers, there can also becultural differences for newimmigrants when they dealwith the medical profession,said Angie McLeod, who ishelping the Family Educationand Support Centre organize

a Diversity Health Fair inSeptember. For example,new immigrants may havedifferent cultural customsabout shaking hands, howclose they get to other peopleand their body languagemight be different.

The biggest differenceRoh has found between theCanadian medical systemand the Korean system isthe fact that Canadians havea family doctor whom theyconsult.

In Korea, most doctors arespecialists and have clinicswhich Korean patients goto directly, instead of beingreferred to by a familyphysician.

But Roh has come across

the same difficulty manyCanadians find these days:family doctors are in highdemand. “It’s very difficultto find an appropriate familydoctor,” Roh said, addingthat many of the “preferred”doctors aren’t taking anymore patients.

There are also long waittimes for procedures inCanada, Roh said. A Koreanfriend went back to Koreato get knee surgery as shewould have had to wait foryear here for the surgery.

Roh was also surprised thatthe Medical Services Plandoesn’t cover dental care andpharmaceutical products.

Like in Canada, in Koreathe mainstream medical

system is based on westernmedicine and there’s a“struggle between Chinesemedical doctors and westernmedical doctors,” Roh said.

But people coming fromcountries like China, wherethey’re used to Chinesemedicine that looks at thehealth of the whole person,it’s harder to adjust toWestern medicine, McLeodsaid.

McLeod is hoping at thehealth fair, new immigrantscan get some help learninghow to navigate the healthcare system in MapleRidge and Pitt Meadowsand connect with healthprofessionals.❚ See full details below.

Workers on the picket line in winter. File photo/TIMES

Twenty months is a long time to be out ofa job. Just ask the unemployed workersstanding on the picket line outside of the

empty Extra Foods outlet in Maple Ridge.The striking grocery workers, members of

the New Westminster-based United Food &Commercial Workers Union (UFCW), havebeen pounding the pavement since Decemberof 2008 to protest wage and benefit rollbacksthe store’s owners, Ontario-based LoblawCompanies Limited, are demanding in orderto convert the store into a No Frills outlet.

Loblaw, which also owns the SuperValu,T & T Supermarket and Real CanadianSuperstore grocery chains operating in B.C.,have already turned a number of their storesinto No Frills outlets in Ontario, and theunion is concerned the company has similarintentions for its retail outlets here.

“Loblaw is attempting to turn all of theExtra Foods stores in the province into ‘lowwage ghettos’ and our members refuseto see their livelihoods destroyed by thisemployer,” said UFCW Local 518 presidentIvan Limpright.

“We have very serious concerns aboutwhat this means for not just union members

working at Extra Foods and SuperValu stores,but our members who work at Safeway, IGA,Save-On, Overwaitea and everywhere else ourmajor foods contract is in effect.”

Under the proposed No Frills contract, themajority of workers would make an averageof $9 per hour to a maximum of $11.90 perhour, with no benefits. Students would onlybe allowed to earn a max of $9.30 per hour.Even managers would only be able to makeno more than $15.75 per hour, also withoutbenefits, which is well below the so-calledLiving Wage — the minimum hourly wagethat’s necessary for a family of four, with twoparents working full-time, to pay for food,shelter and other daily needs — currentlyestimated for Metro Vancouver residents to bearound $18 an hour.

According to UFCW director ofcommunications Andy Neufeld, most workersat the Dewdney Trunk Road store werepreviously making around $15 per hour,while those with high seniority made asmuch as $18 to $20 an hour.

“I think there is a fair argument to be madethat, at the rate they are offering, you aregoing to see a revolving door of employeesgoing in and out,” said Neufeld.

Neufeld said he is concerned of theprecedent that accepting the offer would setfor members working at other supermarketswhen it came time to sit down at thebargaining table, and the union is preparingfor the dispute to spread across the provinceover the next few months.

“I think it is a pretty safe bet that some ofExtra Foods’ competitors, they can’t competewith that labour rate, but they’ll come aftertheir own workers for the same kind ofconcessions,” he said. “Eighty per cent of thisunion’s members work at Safeway, Save-Onand Overwaitea and, in 2008, (owners) wereliterally unable to keep people working inthe stores because the wages were so low.We negotiated the best wage improvement in20 years and since then it has stabilized theworkforce considerably.”

In June, Loblaw closed an Extra Foodsoutlet in Prince Rupert after workers refusedto accept similar massive wage and benefitreductions. Two months beforehand, Loblawswere ordered to pay employees at the storefull wage recovery, estimated at around$50,000, after forcing reduced hours on staff,which was deemed an illegal lockout by the

B.C. Labour Relations Board.While Neufeld said he hopes “saner heads

will prevail” regarding Loblaw’s demands,he said the union is prepared for the fight todrag on.

“You can’t negotiate with someonewho comes to the table and like a brokenrecord keeps offering up this completelyunsubstantial proposal for a collectiveagreement,” he said. “Last November wehad Vince Ready, who is probably the bestlabour mediator in the country, have a lookat it. He saw how stubborn Loblaw is beingand basically said ‘there is nothing I can dohere.’ Negotiations requires both sides beingprepared to move, but they keep showing upat the table demanding this garbage collectiveagreement and we ain’t going there. “

Loblaw is the largest food retailer in thecountry, with around 139,000 full-time andpart-time employees working at over 1,400supermarkets operating under differentbanner names across the country.

The company has not commented publiclyon their Extra Foods negotiations withworkers in either Prince Rupert or MapleRidge, and did not respond to request foran interview sent to their Public Relationsdepartment.

Mediator couldn’t find resolution

B.C. drivers can expect to pocket someextra money as ICBC reduces its basic autoinsurance rates by 2.4 per cent, starting Nov.1.

The Crown corporation made theannouncement Tuesday, following a decisionby the B.C. Utilities Commission, which isresponsible for regulating basic insurancerates in the province.

“Most drivers are going to see an averagedecrease of 2.4 per cent on their basic rate,”said Insurance Corp. of B.C. spokesman MarkJan Vrem. “The better your driving record,the more you’re going to benefit from thereductions in these rates.” Jan Vrem saidthe rate reductions are due to fewer motor-vehicle crashes and a resulting drop inclaims.

“We’re seeing a decline in the numberof crashes [and] we’d like to think it’s ourdrivers making smart driving choices,”said Jan Vrem. “However, the average costof those crashes, especially bodily injurycrashes, is going up.”

ICBC president and CEO Jon Schuberttermed the rate reduction “significant” andthanked B.C. drivers for their “smart drivingdecisions that have made this possible. At atime when the price of everything seems tobe going up, ICBC’s insurances rates are onceagain coming down.”

Jan Vrem said the reduction will result inan “overall savings to drivers of about $50million.” But he noted that bad drivers,notably those in the Driver Risk Premiumcategory, are not going to enjoy much of asaving. “It’s the first time in more than adecade that we have been able to reduce ourbasic rates,” said Schubert in a statement.

❚ News

With the rapid development taking place east of 240 Street,it’s becoming obvious that a new elementary school will beneeded to take the load off of Albion Elementary School.

However, the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district willhave to wait until the Ministry of Education announces a newcapital plan.

Scott Sutherland, a communications manager for the BCMinistry of Education, said School Disrict 42 has submitted arequest for a new school in East Maple Ridge.

Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said each schooldistrict has a capital plan and a ranking of which projects aremost important.

“We are building new schools all the time and there’s afurther capital expansion due to full-day kindergarten.”

MacDiarmid said the education ministry will be announcinga capital plan for the province shortly.

An estimated 21,000 B.C.schoolchildren will begintheir educational careersthis week as full-daykindergartners, which is achange from the half-dayprogram that has been inplace in the province fordecades.

Kindergarten teachers willnow be able to focus on halfthe amount of students thatthey would normally teach,which gives them the abilityto use more time and detailin report cards.

The full-day program alsogives kindergarten teacherstwice the time to teach thesame curriculum in order tomake sure every subject isadequately covered.

Previously, the onlychildren that were enrolledin full-day kindergartenwere aboriginal students,students who speak Englishas a second language, andstudents with special needs.

“We’re really delightedthat our program, full-daykindergarten, is going tostart next week in schoolsaround the province,”Education Minister MargaretMacDiarmid said in a mediateleconference.

“A little bit more than

half of the students ofkindergarten age will be inthe full-day program thisyear.”

The elementary schoolsin School District 42 thatwill be providing full-daykindergarten this school yearare Blue Mountain, Fairview,Glenwood, Golden Ears,Harry Hooge, Maple Ridge,Webster’s corner, Whonnock,Davie Jones, Edith Langton,

Minister trumpets arrival of all-day KEdith McDermott, HighlandPark, and the Englishprograms of Eric Langtonand Hammond. Those 21,000kindergartners will make upa province-wide enrolmentof an estimated 544,000students this school year.

“We expect 6,000 fewerstudents this year than lastyear. We won’t know theexact number until the endof September but we stillhave enrolment decline,”said MacDiarmid.

“Districts expect 21,000 full-time students in kindergartenthis fall, up from 5,000last year when full-time

enrolment was restricted toaboriginal, special needs andESL children.

MacDiarmid said that full-day kindergarten will servestudents better in the future,as well. “We’re excitedbecause we know this is agreat opportunity for thesestudents, that the investmentin early learning has beendemonstrated very clearly inresearch around the world toimprove the learning for thestudents.”

MacDiarmid also said“there’s a large body ofresearch that has shownaround the world that play-

based learning, high-qualitylearning for kindergartenstudents makes a differencefor them [creating highgraduation rates].”

The phased-in approach tofull-day kindergarten will seeit completely implementednext September, with anestimated 40,000 childrenattending day-long classes inall B.C. elementary schools.

Provincial funding of $280million over three yearsis being provided fo full-day kindergarten, while$144 million for relatedconstruction needs andprovision of space was

announced in June.The education ministry has

also made a commitment toplay-based learning for threeand four-year-olds and isworking closely with currentcare providers as well as theMinistry of Children andFamily Development.”

MacDiarmid said thepeople she’s talked to arevery enthusiastic aboutpersonalized learningand there will be publicconversations.

“The exact form that thatwill take, we will be lettingthe public know within thenext few months.”

“We’re excited because we know

this is a great opportunity for these

students.”

Half of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows elementary schools go to the new system this week. The other half will be changed starting in September of 2011.

Metro Vancouver officials made a finalpitch Wednesday to EnvironmentMinister Barry Penner for a proposal

to build a trash incinerator to burn the region’swaste.

But it will be some time before a decision ismade.

Penner said Wednesday his staff will“carefully review” the 5,000 pages submittedby Metro, including its own report, e-mailsand letters from the public, before he canmake a decision on the region’s solid-wastemanagement plan.

The report must comply with provincialregulations and address air quality concerns,Penner said.

He said air-quality concerns have beenraised not only in the Fraser Valley, but alsoby residents from North Vancouver, Surrey,Burnaby and New Westminster.

“I’ll be paying particularly close attention

to air quality, but there are [also] otherenvironmental issues we’ll be payingattention to,” Penner said.

“We can’t commit to a certain date, but wewant to make it a priority.”

In an hour-long presentation in Victoria,Metro chairwoman and Delta Mayor LoisJackson, Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Mooreand Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini told theminister how the region would dramaticallyreduce the quantity of garbage being buriedin landfills and recover energy from trash.

Metro’s solid-waste management reportaims to divert garbage through recyclingprograms, increasing the recycling ratefrom 55 per cent today to a minimum of 70per cent by 2015 through initiatives suchas region-wide composting, more bans onthings that can’t be recycled and mandatoryrecycling in all multi-family and commercialbuildings.

Metro Vancouver’s report shows that“based on an independent analysis of long-term financial costs, air quality impacts and

by Kelly SinoskiPostmedia Network

greenhouse gas issues, some kind of waste-to-energy technology was the clear winner andmost sustainable option for waste disposal,”Metro said in a news release.

Trasolini said Metro has “no time to waste”because the regional district’s contract withthe operators of the Cache Creek landfill runs

out in 2016.If Penner approves the solid-waste

management plan, he said the regionaldistrict will need six years to put outa request for proposals, go through anenvironmental assessment review anddevelop potential sites for incinerators.

Ministry reviewing trash incineration plan

B.C. municipalities say theyare being overrun by wildanimals that are threateningpublic safety and befoulingurban amenities, and theyare asking the provincialgovernment for help.

Possible solutions beingdiscussed include allowingresidents to hunt with bowsand arrows inside city limits,and developing effectivecontraception for wildlife.

The biggest problems areincreasingly urban deer herds

in the Kootenays and citifiedgaggles of Canada geesein the Okanagan and onVancouver Island.

Four municipalities will putforward resolutions to theUnion of B.C. Municipalitiesin Whistler later this monthurging the province to dealwith the issue of wildlife inurban areas.

Other resolutions includeone from Pitt Meadows: Thatthe province call for CanadaPost to investigate options for

increased security of “supermailboxes” to reduce illegalaccess and theft of mail.

Grand Forks, which hasabout 350 deer wanderingwithin its city limits, saidrural B.C. communities“must endure the growingwildlife population, whichis not only a nuisance, buta threat to public safety,without the expertise,regulating authority orresources to deal with thesepopulations.”

It is September, 1666. In the year that ends in theNumber of the Beast, gunpowder and the Duke ofYork stalk burning London.

The fire that began in Pudding Lanehas burned for three days. Its orangefingers have torn apart the packedtenements of the poor, sending refugeesstreaming through narrow alleys. Ithas leaped to the shopping district ofCheapside, showing no respect for thegoods heaped up for the perusal ofbewigged Cavaliers.

At St. Paul’s Cathedral, the flames leaplike monkeys into the scaffolding erectedto aid Christopher Wren’s renovations.The lead roof melts and floods thecrypts, where books and treasures storedfor safety are destroyed.

James, Duke of York, future king and exile, isput in charge of fighting the fire. He wields theonly weapon that can stop the conflagration: blackpowder. Buildings in the path of the fire are blasted tosplinters to create massive firebreaks.

Diarist Samuel Pepys will climb a church steepleon the last day of the fire, to watch it burn itself out,starved of fuel.

In the aftermath, the glee is barely contained.Not from the hordes of the poor who are campingin parks, or being dispersed to prevent riot andrebellion.

No, the glee comes from Christopher Wren, RobertHooke, and dozens of others who deluge KingCharles II with their plans to rebuild.

Nothing is as desirable as a disaster.The Great Fire left two thirds of the City of London

a tabula rasa, a slate scraped clean, on which theycould build anew. If all those buildings and peoplehad still been in place, there would be no chance forgreatness.

It’s been said that the impulse to destroy is alsoa creative impulse, and that’s at least partly true.Disasters are a chance for a fresh start.

Most recently, it’s been put into words by Rahm

Emanuel, one of Barack Obama’s chief politicaloperatives.

“You never let a serious crisis go towaste,” Emanuel said.

“And what I mean by that it’s anopportunity to do things you think youcould not do before.”

That bleak impulse underlieseverything from economic stimulus(“Now we can finally build that bridgeand fill all those potholes!”) to thosewhose politics put them at the fringeof public opinion. (“This will becapitalism’s final crisis, they’ll see!”)

Beyond practical and ideologicalreasons, something inside our cleverape brains just likes seeing the world go

smash.In a world of six billion people, ruled by a thin crust

of the wealthy and powerful, the average humanis largely powerless to change things. There are noblank spaces on the maps, either on the far side ofthe world or on the next block of houses. Makingyour way is a constant process of negotiating withwhat has gone before.

Until a hurricane drifts across the warm waters ofthe Gulf and hits Category Five. Until the big oneshakes Tokyo to its foundations. Until the Dow finallysuccumbs to panic and the rot of bad loans andplunges down below 5,000. Until the asteroid falls.

Then, with that great blank canvas, we can buildsomething, even if we know it would be hard andugly. We can pretend that building is less fraughtthan getting along, can indulge our fantasies of beingrugged individualists, born too late for the frontier.We imagine Mad Max had more fun than logicsuggests.

So we track that hurricane on CNN, we stock ourearthquake kits, we root against the Dow. We hopefor fire. And we wait.

We wait, in the false hope that we’re the nextChristopher Wren, born to raise golden domes abovea ravaged wasteland.

We’ve spent a lot of time in this spacetalking about driving drunk, and why it’s astaggeringly bad idea. But more than a fewfolks are a danger to themselves and otherdrivers while stone cold sober.

This is all the more important this month,as Labour Day heralds the return of kidsto school. That means that the morningcommute will be busier, with college andhigh school students and parents takingto the roads. There will also be morepedestrians, including the short, quick,sometimes hard to see kind who cross roadsnear elementary schools.

The next time you approach one of thosebright yellow school zone signs, don’tinterpret it as a signal to speed up.

Slow all the way down to 30 km/h. Drivingat that speed for a few hundred metreswill not make you more than two or threeseconds later. It will not make you lose theimaginary race you are having with the carsahead of you. It will not damage your appealto the opposite sex. It might save a life, orkeep a kid out of the hospital. It might keepyou out of court, and it might keep a fewhundred bucks in your wallet.

The thing about kids is, they’reeverywhere. Some of them are on bicycles,and they may not always be aware of theirsurroundings, or riding with the greatest careto the rules of the road.

As the police will remind you if they catchyou blasting past a school come next week,driving is a privilege.

Plan before you hikeThe greatest service we can do our

volunteer rescuers is to listen.Members of North Shore Rescue were

among dozens of responders, includingsome from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadowswho spent 10 days in August scouring a 200-square-kilometre wilderness for a hiker whohad wandered into the forest without a plan.

The man, an experienced outdoorenthusiast, set out on a five-day excursionwith only a general idea of his route. Heappears to have had no map, no compassand only light clothing to keep him warm.Thanks to those very common errors, therescuers were faced with the near-impossibletask of locating a single individual inextremely rugged terrain when they don’treally know where to look.

Eight thousand volunteer hours went intothe effort — unpaid.

Every year, countless visitors enter theLower Mainland’s backwoods without theproper knowledge or equipment. Too often,that lack of preparation translates into agruelling effort on the part of rescuers andterrible anxiety for loved ones.

Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue benefitsfrom financial support, there’s no question,and we encourage anyone who appreciatestheir work to chip in.

The largest contribution any of us canmake, however, is to learn the lesson. Byavoiding a repetition, we can allow thesevolunteers to stay home.

Ministy needs tolook into budget

Editor:An open letter to the

Minister of Education,Margaret MacDiarmid:

As the new school year isstarting, I feel I must addressthe budget and financialreporting for School District

42, one last time.I have tried to get the board

to understand that they needto look at the entire budgetand not just the summarizedversion that is required bythe ministry. The BudgetProcess Bylaw has not beenfollowed, as it clearly statesthe board must be providedwith “cost centre budgets”and that this budget mustbe made available to the

public on the district website.There is even an appendicethat outlines how the budgetshould be formatted. Adetailed budget had beenprovided to the board andthe public up until...May2009. The board chair, KenClarkson, said at the lastboard meeting that the“majority believe we’ve metthe spirit and intent of thebylaw.” I don’t agree.

At the June 10, 2009meeting the secretarytreasurer indicated that thejob of providing monthlyfinancial reports was too“onerous” and he wanted tochange to quarterly reports.After this date the reportswere provided quarterly ina summary format withoutproviding the cost centredetails that were available inthe past.

This was not voted throughby the board; it was adecision by staff, and no onequestioned it.

The board closed schoolsand may have to make cutsin September and staff stillcreated a new position foran anti-vandalism initiative.This person is to supportschools and work with theRCMP. This was broughtforward during the budgetdiscussions, will cost $85,933and was approved by the

board. I just recently becameaware of another newposition that was createdfor an elementary bandteacher. Why was this notbrought forward during thebudget discussions? Howmuch will this cost? Whywas the position not posted?The closing of schools wassupposed to save money, butif staff is creating positionsthe savings will be gone.What other costly decisionsare being made?

I have brought my concernsabout the budget/financialreporting to the Ministryof Education and am verydisappointed with theresponse from the director,School District ReportingBranch, who stated that if I“continue to have concernsthat the Board of Educationhas not followed its ownpolicies, you may wish toobtain legal advice.”

I feel it is up to the ministryto watch over their boardsand not pass the job off toa member of the public. Ihave done my job. I’ve askedquestions and asked forfinancial information to be,once again, available to theboard and the public. I don’thave the power to make thishappen, you do.

For those in the District of Maple Ridge who don’t wantto see their community’s farmland destroyed, the newGolden Ears Bridge is turning out to be a curse, not a

commuter solution.The toll bridge, which crosses the Fraser River just east of

Barnston Island, recently marked its first anniversary. Butnothing was said during the hoopla about how the crossingis now putting significant development pressures on MapleRidge’s agricultural lands, which are among the oldest andmost productive in B.C.

“There’s no doubt the Golden Ears Bridge is changing ourcommunity, and if anyone thinks it was built for commuters,it wasn’t,” says Diana Williams, who is president of the PittPolder Preservation Society. “It was built for developers.”

Her community organization is at the forefront of publicopposition to a proposal by owners of a 62-hectare (152-acre)parcel at 203rd Street and Golden Ears Way that is currentlypart of the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The property is owned by the Pelton family, who, for about 40years, ran a tree-seedling nursery on it and now want it removedfrom the ALR in order to establish a light-industrial park.

To that end, they’ve spiced up their public “pitch”by offering benefits that include money for drainage tosurrounding farms to improve productivity, an agri-productterminal for farm-product sales, community garden plots,multi-use trails and sports fields.

The biggest carrot, of course, is a promise to Maple Ridgecouncil of approximately 1,600 jobs the project proponentssay would be created in an industrial park, although nospecifics have been disclosed.

Not surprisingly, the proponents have majority supportfrom Maple Ridge council, which, say Williams and others,is clearly pro-development. It’s also on the public record thatthe Pelton family has been a generous contributor to MapleRidge Mayor Ernie Daykin’s political campaigns and that he’sa longtime family friend.

The mayor himself has stated in public that the Peltonfamily support and friendship in no way influences hisdecisions at city hall.

Regardless, Maple Ridge council voted 5-2 to forward thePelton application to the Agricultural Land Commission forits consideration this month and they took the step withoutseeking formal public input on the proposal.

Consequently, groups like the Pitt Polder PreservationSociety are now appealing for the ALC to reject the proposal.

“If this land is removed from the ALR, we can say goodbyeto virtually all farmland in Maple Ridge, because the rest willthen fall like dominoes,” Williams says.

Farmland advocate and ALR cofounder Harold Steves, along-serving Richmond councillor, agrees.

“The Maple Ridge council is behaving just like our councildid years ago just before most of Richmond’s farmland wasdestroyed,” he told me yesterday. “And the developers lobby andsupport local candidates until they get a majority on council.”

Steves also says that both the Golden Ears Bridge and theSouth Fraser Perimeter Road -- the trucking freeway fromDeltaport that’s now in preliminary construction -- convergenear Barnston Island and this is opening Maple Ridge to port-related industrial development. “If Maple Ridge isn’t careful,it’ll end up like Richmond,” he adds.

The B.C. Liberal government spent$780,000 to create and print an HSTpamphlet it planned to mail to each

house in the province, but has since scrapped.Finance Minister Colin Hansen told The

Vancouver Sun on Wednesday the provincespent about $260,000 to design the pamphlet,and then another $520,000 to print enoughcopies to mail to each household.

He added that while the province sincescrapped the idea of sending an HSTpamphlet by mail, the $780,000 has not allgone to waste.

Hansen said all the information createdabout the HST for thedocument has been publishedon the government’s website.

He added the government stillplans to use the portions of thepamphlet that did not directlyaddress the HST, although hecould not give specifics on howand when that could happen.

“A big chunk of what is printed we will beable to use again,” Hansen said Wednesday,adding that while all the HST-related info hasbeen shredded, the rest has been saved.

“I can’t say exactly how that is going to beused, but we know that a big chunk of it willbe used.”

New Democratic Party leader Carole Jamessaid the scrapped pamphlet was a huge wasteof money, especially during a time whengovernment is running deficits and tighteningits belt across several key areas.

“They spent over $700,000 on a brochure

they didn’t even use -- I think it’s appalling,”said James, still surprised at learning thefigure.

“That’s money that could have beenbetter spent in other places and it showsincompetence.”

The government created the HST pamphletin April, hoping it could land on B.C.doorsteps before the HST took effect on July1. But Elections BC rejected the plannedpamphlet, saying that distributing it whilean anti-HST petition was circulating wouldbe a violation of the province’s Recall andInitiative Act.

The government later redrafted thepamphlet, with the new version addressingthe HST while also taking a broader look at

the overall economy.Hansen said the government

cancelled this second versionbecause it would have comeat the same time as the courtswere hearing arguments overthe anti-HST petition. He saidthe government did not want tobe seen to be interfering with

that process.Hansen added the government also felt the

pamphlets would no longer be effective.“The approach that we’re taking now

is to basically say that kind of a masscommunication isn’t going to help; people arenot going to be receptive to it,” he said.

“The best way we can communicate themessage around HST is basically getting outthere community by community, talking toopinion leaders and community leaders abouthow it works and why it makes sense andwhat the benefits are to their communities.”

“They spent over $700.000 on a

brochure they didn’t even use - I

think it’s appalling.”

Carole James

Liberals spent $780,000on unused HST pamphlet

The B.C. Ministry of Educationoffers these safety tips.

All Students and Parents:* Ensure your children

always wear a helmet andother protective gear whenplaying sports, riding theirbikes, using scooters orskateboarding. Ensurehelmets fit properly and thatyour children secure the chinstrap every time they go fora ride.

* Drivers are remindedto watch their speed inschool zones to ensure safepedestrian traffic. StartingMonday, Sept 20, newchanges to the Motor VehicleAct will trigger a seven-dayimpoundment of your car ifyou’re caught speeding 40km or more over the postedspeed limit!

Primary Students:* Find a safe route to and

from school and practise it

with your children.* Join an existing Walking

School Bus or BicycleTrain, or start up yourown with other parentsin your neighbourhood.Visit http://www.dashbc.org/index.php?option=com_content=article=57=80

* Identify safe places alongthe route, such as a friend’shouse, where your childrencan go if they encountertrouble.

* Discuss how to safelyinteract with strangers: www.safekidsbc.ca/parent_street_proofing.htm

* Ensure your childrenunderstand traffic safety,such as how to cross thestreet, board the school busand what to do and whomto contact in the event of anatural disaster.

* If your child hasanaphylaxis, coordinate with

the school principal on anupdated emergency planthat best meets your child’sneeds.

Intermediate/Middle Students:* Help your children pack

their backpacks, and ensuretheir backpacks weigh nomore than 10 to 20 per centof their body weight.

* Make sure your childrenuse both shoulder strapswhen carrying theirbackpacks. Slinging abackpack over one shouldercan strain muscles and mayeven increase the curvatureof their spines.

* Discuss your children’ssafe route to school andensure it is still effective.Note any changes in safestops, such as friendsmoving to or from theneighbourhood.

* Talk to your childrenabout appropriate school

behaviour, and remind themwhat to do and whom to talkto if they encounter bullying,including online bullying.

* Help your childrenunderstand how to safelyuse the Internet and how toprotect their privacy.

Secondary Students:* Talk to your teenagers

* Encourage your teensto talk to you about issuesthat are important to them,including peer pressure,drugs and alcohol, andhealthy sexual decisionmaking.

* Let your teenagers growand help provide them witha sense of confidence. This isthe best defence against peerpressure.

As school gets back into full swing,school-aged kids across the country areonce again spending their afternoons

doing homework instead of lounging aroundthe house as if it were still summer vacation.While home might be the ideal spot to spendlazy summer afternoons, it’s often not ideal fordoing homework or working on other schoolprojects.

However, finding a study spot does not haveto involve packing the kids into the car andheading to the nearby public library. In fact,parents can create the ideal study spot rightat home.

* Make the room available at all times.First and foremost, a study spot needs to beavailable to kids every day. If Mom or Dadhas a home office and travel two or threedays a week, that’s still not an ideal spot for

studying, as Mom and Dad will be working inthe home office themselves whenever they’renot out on the road. When choosing a studyspot, be sure to look for a place in the homethat’s available to kids at all times, not justcertain days of the week.

* Look for a distraction-free zone. Today’skids have more to distract them than everbefore. Computers, video games, television,and even cellular phones can all keep kidsfrom making the most of their study time.Look for a spot in the home that’s devoid ofdistraction. It should be a place where thetelevision cannot be heard and kids won’thave access to phones, video games or otheritems that might make it hard to concentrateon schoolwork.

* Don’t make thingstoo comfortable. Whilean uncomfortable chaircan make it difficult toconcentrate on studies, itcan also be hard to focuswhen the environment isoverly comfortable andaccommodating. If kids liketo study in their bedrooms,be sure to have desks inthere. If there’s nothing buta bed and a beanbag chair,kids are almost certain tospend more time nappingthan they are studying.

* Keep things on thebright side. Poorly litrooms tend to make kidsdrowsy, which can make itmore difficult to study andabsorb information. Whenfinding a study spot, if it’snot possible to find a roomthat’s naturally bright withsunlight, make sure the roomis well lit with lamps or anoverhead light fixture.

* Check the room’stemperature. A study spotin the home should notbe too cold or too hot. Asany homeowner knows,some rooms in the home

are colder than others,while some rooms feel likea sauna. When lookingfor a study spot, look fora room that is not extremein either direction. Onethat provides a steady,comfortable temperature(room temperature, forinstance) is better than aroom that might get too coldin winter or prove too hot inearly autumn. Either of thesescenarios would force kidsto switch study spots duringthe school year, which couldprove detrimental to studyhabits.

STUDY, From Page 22

Get comfy, but not too comfy

In a rare bit of happy news for kids headedback to school, compelling new evidencesuggests the path to fulfilment isn’t pavedwith straight As.

Though personal goal-setting and individualachievement can feel like the alpha andomega of education -- and life in general -- aforthcoming study in the journal Self andIdentity finds our most meaningful momentsare those that involve social relationships.That is, a student is more likely to be affectedby making a new friend outside the classroomthan earning a gold star inside of it.

The research -- which applies equally toadults in the workplace -- runs counter toNorth Americans’ narcissistic tendency toseek meaning in a mirror as opposed to awindow. “We live in a very individualisticsociety where the emphasis is on personalachievement and being different from othersand finding your own place,” says ShiraGabriel, associate professor of psychology atthe University at Buffalo. “That leads us to

think that those accomplishments are moreimportant in life than they necessarily are.

“We’re not arguing that relationships areinherently better than individual events,because they also bring about more pain inour lives. But what we are saying is that theytend to be more impactful and meaningful tous over time.”

The results of four experiments, involvinga total of 376 people of varying age groups,formed the basis for the conclusions ofGabriel and fellow investigators Lisa Jaremka,of the University of California-Santa Barbara,and Mauricio Cavallo of the University ofOklahoma-Norman.

In each, there was strong evidence that theevents which pack the biggest punch overtime involve interactions with others.

“What we find means most to people aretransformative moments in relationships,such as a marriage or a new best friend,”says Gabriel.

All of the positions filled at lastyear’s sports rally were filled byparents of the student-athletes atTHSS.

This year’s rally will be held atTHSS from 7-8 p.m.

Volunteering positions will be“auctioned off” so that all of thisyear’s coaching and managing posi-tions can be filled.

Wiercioch aiming to be a SenOttawa’s second round draft pick out of Maple Ridge will be looking to crack the NHL club’s roster as training camp nears

Patrick Wiercioch, 19, played last season on defence for the University of Denver Pioneers, but signed an entry-level contract withthe Ottawa Senators in April and is hoping to earn a spot on the big club. Wiercioch had 18 goals and 44 assists during his twoseasons in Denver. Ottawa Citizen

Two of the OttawaSenators’ top youngdefence prospects, Jared

Cowen and Patrick Wiercioch,were among the two dozen orso players getting some pre-training camp skating in onThursday.

For Cowen and Wiercioch,getting a head start is a goodidea. The competition towin a spot on the Senators’blue-line this season will betough.

Chris Phillips, MattCarkner, Erik Karlsson, FilipKuba and Sergei Goncharappear to be locks to makethe team, while ChrisCampoli and Brian Lee areapparent front-runners forthe sixth and seventh spots.

That would leave Cowen,the team’s first-rounddraft choice in 2009 (ninthoverall), and Wiercioch (ofMaple Ridge), the team’ssecond-round draft choicein 2008 (42nd overall),headed for a season in theAmerican Hockey Leaguewith Binghamton.

Although Cowen has oneyear of junior eligibilityremaining with the WHL’sSpokane Chiefs, Wierciochwould be sent to the minorsshould he not make theSenators. In that case,Senators general managerBryan Murray would haveto weigh burning a year ofWiercioch’s eligibility on theroad to free agency in theminors against the playerimproving while playing inthe NHL.

Murray rolled the dice onKarlsson last season and itpaid off. Karlsson emergedas a legitimate offensivethreat in the second half ofthe season, although thedefensive side of his gameshowed it needs work.

Wiercioch, who leftDenver University after hissecond year to sign with theSenators, is confident he canmake the jump.

“I’m definitely excitedabout it,” he said. “WhetherI make the team or not,I’m pushing to earn one ofthose spots. It’ll be my firstNHL camp, so it’ll be a newchapter in my life, so the firstyear I’m just really trying totake it all in, take it in stride,take the lows as well as the

highs.”Wiercioch began his post-

minor hockey career beganin 2006 with the BurnabyExpress Junior A team of theBCHL. In Burnaby Wierciochnotched nine goals and 16assists.

After one season in theBCHL Wiercioch moved onto the Omaha Lancers forthe 2007-08 season, scoring3 goals and 18 assists in 40games.

That season impressedscouts at the University ofDenver, where Wierciochearned a hockey scholarship.

In his first season as aDenver Pioneer, the 6’4 190-pound defenceman led all ofthe rookies on his team with35 points on 12 goals and 23assists and was named to theall-league rookie team.

Wiercioch was also named

to the Inside College HockeyFreshman All-America Team.

The awards kept comingin his sophomore season inDenver.

Although he didn’t scoreas many points as the yearbefore, Wiercioch was namedto the Reebok West All-American First team. He wasalso named to the league All-Academic team for his workin the classroom.

After accomplishingjust about as much as hecould in college hockey,Wiercioch signed a three-year entry-level contractwith the Senators that willpay him $875,000 per yearif he makes the NHL roster,according to CapGeek.

If he is the odd man out atSenators training camp, he’llbe expected to play the nextseason with the Binghamton

Senators of the AHL.More Local ProsIt seems that former

Canuck and Pitt Meadowsresident Brendan Morrisonhas yet to find an NHL teamto play for this season.

Morrison has been skatingwith other pros lat UBC’sThunderbird Arena lately,but there haven’t been anyscouts in attendance.

“You get a little anxiousabout things, but mostlybecause of the kids and mywife,” said Morrison, whohas played for three teamssince leaving the Canucks atthe end of the 2008 season.

“You want to get into yournew surroundings and getsituated. You have to findaccommodations, get themsigned up for school andactivities, all these thingsthat come with it.”

Two-time Stanley Cupwinner Andrew Ladd wasdealt in the summer fromthe Chicago Blackhawks tothe Atlanta Thrashers due tosalary concerns.

Ladd will be expectedto carry more of the loadoffensively in Atlanta with amuch less talented team thathe had in Chicago.

Brandon Yip, last season’sbreak-out performer of theColorado Avalanche, signeda new contract this summer,and this time it’s a one-waycontract that will pay himthe same amount of moneywhether he’s in the NHL orAHL.

Brett Sonne, St. Louis’second round draft choice,played 77 games last seasonwith the AHL’s PeoriaRiverman.
