Pitt Meadows city hall has been rebuffed in an attempt to take over sole control of the airport.

On July 29, the day before the Pitt Meadows Airport Society’s an-nual general meeting, the City of Pitt Meadows asked Maple Ridge to relinquish control of YPK. The

two cities are members of a society that appoints a board to operate the facility.

“That letter really took us by sur-prise,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Ni-cole Read.

She contacted as many members of her council as she could reach, and heard a consensus that, “We have absolutely no intention of re-linquishing control.

“This is a long-term asset that is of strategic value to Maple Ridge,” said Read. “And it has great economic potential going forward.”

Read responded by let-ter the same day:

“Our council was look-ing forward to engaging with Pitt Meadows coun-cil and the board of direc-tors towards a new vision for the our airport. The airport is a regional asset. Further, major industrial and residential areas of Maple Ridge are in very close proximity to the airport and are affected by airport activities,” she wrote. “As such, we remain clear in

our position that we have no intention of divesting ourselves of our inter-est in our joint asset. We also wish to remind you that multi-jurisdictional control of an airport is not unique to Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.”

The letter from Pitt Meadows to Maple Ridge cited frustrations with the

two cities failing to reach consensus in two areas.

Along with a new anchor in Walmart opening soon, Haney Place Mall also has a new owner.

Smart Real Estate Investment Trust bought the downtown Maple Ridge mall from Narland Properties, a Van-couver company, effective Thursday.

“I think it shows a real confidence in the downtown. I think bringing in Walmart in there was a real game changer. We’re looking forward to seeing what kind of retailers Smart-REIT can bring into the downtown mall,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read.

Walmart is expected to open this fall after renovations.

The company said that buying the mall and opening Walmart in the former location of Target, “will help enhance the downtown retail envi-ronment.”

A growing camp on Cliff Avenue is now without its needle exchange program after the employee covering the region quit on Saturday.

Dr. Liz Zubek runs her practice on Cliff Ave-nue and said the homeless camp that has taken root there is becoming an increasing danger to its residents and neighbours.

She’s not surprised the needle exchange em-ployee quit.

“The need is there and he kept being asked to go more and more places,” said Zubek. “The city called him, even though he’s not a city em-ployee, and asked if he could do an extra day on Cliff Avenue. So he’s being called from ev-erywhere to increase services, and he’s just one man.”

Linda Fletcher-Gordon, program director for the Lower Mainland Purpose Society, which operates the needle exchange program on Cliff Avenue, said the employee quit without notice on Saturday.

Fletcher-Gordon said the employee was re-peatedly cautioned about working past the re-quired 35-hour work week.

“He was working 10 hours a day because he wanted to,” said Fletcher-Gordon. “I was cau-tioning him all the time, ‘You can not be work-ing more than 35 hours a week because you are driving a van and you need to be rested.’ He would stay out there if people called him or wanted service. There wasn’t a lot I could do around that except to caution him.”

The society is scrambling to fill the position as soon as possible.

“I am trying to sort out the mess now. We’re left with no notice, no nothing. So I am trying to sort this out. I’m doing the best I can,” said

Fletcher-Gordon.While Zubek was skeptical of the city’s initial

plan to tackle homelessness, she has kept quiet for the past two months, giving the mayor and her task force the benefit of the doubt.

However, Zubek said the camp continues to grow, despite claims by city officials otherwise.

“I hear news reports saying things are stable, but that’s not what we’ve seen in the last three months,” she said.

She’s noticed a spike in overdoses recently and thinks it attributed to a crowding camp that is faced with the threat of vigilantism.

While she hopes there is a temporary shelter set up soon, Zubek said that would address only about two-thirds of the campers living on Cliff Ave. She said the remaining are homeless who have been outside so long they wouldn’t go inside given the opportunity.

She said the city needs to provide them with

an safe area where they can set up and feel pro-tected by bylaws and the RCMP.

“Where they are right now isn’t safe for any-body,” she said.

Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read said the camp on Cliff Ave. is not growing.

She said the city takes a head count there each week and the number of homeless on Cliff Av-enue has remained static at 32 tents and 60 in-dividuals.

Camp needle exchange worker quits


They were working with a new site and a new date this year, so organiz-ers of Maple Ridge’s Caribbean Fes-tival were relieved when the crowds returned to the 15th annual event.

“Generally, I think we totally exceed-ed our expectations,” said committee chairman Deddy Geese.

The crowds came back for jerk chick-en, curried goat, steel drums and Bob Marley classics. The new location at the Albion Fairgrounds this year cre-ated more room for vendors, room for a larger Marley main stage, and lots of space for festival goers to spread blan-kets on the grass.

Geese said at about 6 p.m. on Satur-

day the crowd started to swell, build-ing until the performance by headlin-ers Hotel California, an Eagles tribute band. He estimates there were between 4,000 and 5,000 fans for the Saturday night show.

“That is overwhelming. That is mis-sion accomplished,” said Geese.

Throughout the weekend, he esti-mates about 15,000 people attended the event.

There were estimates of 18,000 hav-ing attended when the event was in the Memorial Peace Park downtown, but Geese said 15,000 is conservative, and the attendance was similar.

“It shows me that the site and the concept works,” he said.

He already has some ideas for next year, including the possibility of RV

parking and camping at the site.He has also been contacted by the

Vancouver Carnival Association about the possibility of having a Caribbean Festival parade through the downtown on Saturday morning to kick off the event. It would include “your typical Brazilian, Caribbean costume groups.”

“Then we bring a component to the downtown, to liven the area up,” Geese said, adding that talks are still prelimi-nary.

He said Saturday’s intense heat may have hindered the crowd, but the weather is always a wild card.

“You have no control over rain, or stinging heat.”

While the concert was free, parking was $2, with a portion of those funds going to sports teams who volunteered.

If people want police to cut down on street crime, in particular in the area of the Cliff Av-enue homeless camp, the public has to do its part.

Tuesday, July 28, Ridge Meadows RCMP and by-laws officers checked out

more than 30 bicycles at the camp. But after checking records and re-ports, none were found to be stolen.

We are aware that there have been public concerns there is stolen property at the camp, in-cluding bicycles,” Cpl. Al-anna Dunlop said. “Since the camp has started up, a number of bicycles and bike parts have been seized as recovered stolen property.”

Reuniting property

owners with their stolen or lost items depends upon proper identifica-tion of the item. “Police may use a detailed de-scription, and/or the se-rial number to identify property using the Cana-dian Police Information Centre database.”

She’s advising everyone to record the serial num-bers of valuable items and to grab a quick pho-to, as well.

Other theft prevention tips:

• using good quality bike locks applied prop-erly;

• store bicycles inside a secure area of your home;

• remove the seat or a wheel if possible,

• if leaving your bike in the back of a vehicle, se-cure the bike with a lock to your vehicle;

• never lock your bike with the front wheel only, preferably a u-lock and a cable lock;

• use two locks if pos-sible.

The numbers are all over the place when it comes to crime stats in Maple Ridge, based on the latest Statistics Can-ada figures.

According to the Crime Severity Index, there was an 18-per-cent increase in the number of crime inci-dents in 2014 in Maple Ridge, compared to the previous year.

When looked at over

a period of five years, between 2010 and 2014, the numbers hovered in the 7,000 range – be-tween 6,165 incidents in 2013 to a high last year of 7,392.

When expressed as a rate per 100,000, Maple Ridge experienced a rate last year of 9,136 incidents per 100,000 population – versus a province-wide rate of 8,631.

When it comes to Pitt Meadows, the crime rate per 100,000 is close to the B.C. average – at 8,643.

But that’s 50 per cent higher than the year

before.When it comes to the

number of criminal charges that police lay as a result of their inves-tigations, the number has dropped in the most recent year.

In 2014, RCMP in Maple Ridge charged 700 adults compared to 937 in 2010.

In 2014, RCMP in Pitt Meadows charged 115 adults compared to 116 in 2010.

The same trend is evident when consid-ering the number of youths under 18 years of age charged. In Maple Ridge, 34 kids were fac-

ing criminal charges in 2014 compared to 72 in 2010. In Pitt Meadows last year, 14 youths were charged.

When it comes to youth crime, the 2014 provincial rate of kids charged (between 12 and 17 years old) per 100,000 is 1,191.

In Maple Ridge, the same statistic is half that – 520. In Pitt Meadows, the rate of kids charged between 12 and 17 years old is closer to the pro-vincial rate at 1,021.

Ridge Meadows RCMP didn’t want to comment on or explain the numbers.

How a pit bull that attacked a newspaper carrier last week died is uncertain.

Sarah Metzner, 15, was attacked on 117th Avenue as she was deliv-ering newspapers July 24. The two-year-old dog jumped through a screen door, clamped its jaws on to Metzner’s left hand and wouldn’t let go until a police officer attempt to pry open its grip with a baton.

The dog died shortly after, but police say they

don’t know exactly how, adding that the SPCA would know that.

SPCA, however, say their role was limited in the incident.

“Respectfully, I will send you back to the police as to how their constable dispatched the dog,” SPCA chief enforcement officer Marcie Moriarty said Thursday.

Moriarty said when SPCA arrived on scene the dog was already dead.

But the SPCA never took custody of the dog,

which was returned to the owner.

“I’m finding it odd, why are the police be-ing like this?” Moriarty asked. “I can’t comment on how their officer killed the dog, presum-ably, they filed the re-port.”

Some neighbours say the dog’s throat was slit, but Ridge Mead-ows RCMP Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said no knife was used and that at some point soon after-wards, the dog died.

Dunlop, though, said the police report doesn’t

say what exactly led to the dog’s death and that a necropsy is needed for that.

“I’m not a vet or a per-son to determine what that could be. When you look at cause of death, it’s contributing factors. I can only say that it happened during that period of time.”

As for the officer’s re-port, “What it says is the baton was used to pry the dog’s mouth open.”

It also says a make-shift muzzle was used to control the animal.

Cause of dog’s death unknown

Flats still in playMall from front

“Maple Ridge is a beautiful, dynamic community and we are delighted to invest in Haney Place Mall,” said Huw Thomas, presi-dent.

“We are focused on continuing to bring great shopping choices and experience to resi-dents.”

SmartCentres had considered a land-swap deal with the City of Maple Ridge in order to develop a mall on Albion flats, at 105th Avenue and Lougheed Highway. However, it gave up on that option earlier this year.

Read said that council wants to talk later this year with SmartREIT about former related land holdings or inter-ests in the Albion flats.

SmartREIT was formed in April when Calloway REIT bought SmartCentres and turned it into a real es-tate investment trust.

However, the Al-bion properties are still owned by original SmartCentres owner Mitchell Goldhar and Walmart Canada rath-er than the new Smart-

REIT.Most of Albion flats

is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, which prevented development of the entire area, al-though the Agricultural Land Commission has said it is willing to ex-clude land on the east side of 105th Avenue.

Council will discuss what kind of develop-ment ultimately will be most suitable for the Albion area, but there’s no question that com-mercial space is need-ed, Read added.

But she doesn’t want a big anchor tenant. The retail market is chang-ing, she added.

“I think it’s something we need to talk about.”

With the existing and future recreation fa-cilities, “There’s a lot of potential in the flats for what that can be in the community, so that’s what we’ll be looking at.

The Ontario-based trust owns SmartCen-tres, a development company that special-ized in big-box malls. Now existing as a real estate trust owning SmartCentres, Smart-REIT has a value of $8.3 billion, from malls mainly with Walmart as anchor stores.

VICTORIA – Now that the political back-and-forth is over, there are two ques-tions left about the Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector invest-ment in B.C. history.

Will it actually hap-pen? And is it a good deal or a bad one?

Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature.

“After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said. “But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.”

For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead. The latest evidence is the company’s continued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to minimize the marine impact. Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when they voted to oppose the project in May.

Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear – they see it as a lifeline for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry.

The B.C. NDP is also now clear, having voted against the project agreement in the brief summer session of the legislature that concluded last week. Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election issue in 2017.

NDP leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia.

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guarantees contain quali-fiers like this: “... except in those cases where … it is not reasonable or economi-cally practical to do so, use labour avail-able within Western Australia.”

Obviously there were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy, in other words a communist dictatorship.

Everyone agrees that specialized trades such as welding alloys for low-temper-ature operation will be brought in. And LNG processing trains will be shipped in pre-fabricated from places like South Korea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere.

Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal?

Perhaps B.C. could attempt develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship

fabrication, and it didn’t work out too well.

For David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects.

Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges.

Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Prospects for big B.C. investment

Voter turnoffIngrid RiceGuest view

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has dissolved Par-liament, triggering a federal election, although Cana-dians won’t head to the polls until the fixed date of Oct. 19.

Now this is somewhat surprising given that the mandatory minimum length for a campaign is 37 days, and most elections in recent history have been fairly close to that target.

In fact, you have to go all the way back to 1926 for a 74-day election campaign.

The question then is why is Mr. Harper pulling the plug now, particularly when Canadians are enjoying their summer holidays and backyard barbecues and aren’t interested in what happens in Ottawa?

The answer isn’t particularly clear, but obviously Mr. Harper and his strategists believe that calling the writ now gives the governing party a solid advantage over the opposition parties, and that could certainly be the case after MPs handed out millions of dollars in grants to various community groups in the past few weeks.

But there is also a danger in launching the cam-paign early, and that is escalating voter fatigue.

Increasingly, Canadians are tired of what appears to be the new normal in politics – attack, attack, at-tack, with very few concrete solutions to major is-sues coming to the table.

After 78 days of negative ads from all parties and photo-ops, the public may be completely worn out from the exercise.

What will that do to voter turnout?We’ll see.

Editor, The News:The solution to the homeless prob-

lem, like a lot of our problems, can be found by observing nature.

People used to be allowed to feed bears. They would feed the bears be-cause they liked them and thought they were helping them out.

There are two main problems. First, many more bears started to

show up. Secondly, some of the bears became aggressive and damaged things, made a real mess.

The solution is to look at each in-dividual bear. The bears who are too aggressive are shot.

For criminal types, we have correc-tional facilities.

Some of the people, for whatever reason, can no longer look after them-selves and so are sent to a facility.

For people, we need addiction and mental health treatment facilities.

Some of the bears just need habitat. We could buy up some land in Ma-

ple Ridge, strip all the buildings off of it and plant forests. But that would be too expensive.

There is much habitat outside of Maple Ridge. It is equally unreason-able to expect to build housing locally for all the homeless.

This area is expensive. Many of us live here because the even more ex-pensive areas we grew up in are now out of our means.

We changed cities, provinces, and even countries rather than live under sheets of plastic or in tents on the side of the road.

A quick check reveals houses in small towns all across Canada that can be had for about a tenth of the cost of the average house in Maple Ridge.

People move away at all stages of life

to live better. Many homeless and struggling peo-

ple would do far better in other parts of Canada.

Michael PattersonMaple Ridge

Don’t feed the rats?Editor, The News:I had set up a bird feeder in my back

yard recently. It attracted wildlife that was a pleasure to see. Then, one day, I noticed a rat scurry across the lawn to feed at the leavings. I had to remove the feeder, as it was unfortunately attract-ing other pests.

Most of us residents know what a Caring Place Maple Ridge is, but the so-lution to our homeless problem is quite simple: remove the feeder.

Julia GarlandMaple Ridge

Editor, The News:We have had much discus-

sion on the homeless camp on Cliff Avenue.

Housing is not the solution to the problem, it is at most a temporary bad and danger-ous fix and should not even be considered by our mayor and council.

I would refrain from seeking

advice from the Pivot Legal Society, as, in my view, it has its own agenda and not the in-terest of our community.

Why do we attack the ef-fects of a problem and not the cause?

As long as we do nothing to eradicate the cause, we will always have the problem and waste countless resources.

It appears that the honest law-abiding , taxpaying citi-zen have no rights or protec-tion

The mayor and council should do what they have been elected to do, which is govern. If they are incapable of this, they should resign and call a by-election.

Another costly move, how-

ever, maybe cheaper in the long term.

The citizens of Maple Ridge and B.C. should pe-tition the premier to enact municipal recall legislation.

Then maybe the elected municipal officials would be more accountable.

Len LoveringMaple Ridge

Editor, The News:Have you noticed that virtually all of the natural green

space between Baynes Road and Maple Ridge will soon be gone? All views over green space of Mt. Baker coming south on Harris Road from Hammond Road will be oblit-erated; all views of the ring of mountains, while driving northward from the Fraser River will no longer be visible.

The natural habitat for huge flocks of migrating geese and the eagles, herons and coyotes often seen is already laid to waste. Is it too late? Soon there will be a shadowed corridor of buildings and asphalt to reach the Pitt River greenway, virtually isolating it forever.

Pitt Meadows, the Natural Place? J. F. Walton

Pitt Meadows

Editor, The News:I live in the Rock Ridge area of Maple Ridge and the

other morning at 11:10 a.m. I was driving out of my sub-division when a garbage truck passed me at the corner of 240th Street and Shoesmith Crescent. I was shocked to see the worker on the back of the truck had a cigarette in his mouth. All I could think of was “fire” if he tossed his butt when he was finished. What did he plan to use as his ash-tray?

One was strategic planning, the other, composition of the board.

Maple Ridge wanted to include the volunteer board that operates the airport in strategic planning, while Pitt Meadows did not.

Read also responded that her city has recommended qualified appointments to the board that have been rejected by Pitt Mead-ows.

Murray Day, president of the airport society, said the board is satisfied that it is fulfilling its mandate of developing the air-port, and it is operating “in a sus-tainable manner.”

He said the request for Maple Ridge to withdraw did not origi-nate from his group.

“The board is happy with the current arrangement,” he said. “The asset, although it sits in Pitt Meadows, is a regional asset.”

Day said the volunteer board receives no remuneration, and “we’re there at the pleasure of the two cities, who appoint direc-tors.”

He agreed that Pitt Meadows’

desire for control had led to some speculation by business people about the city’s plans for the air-port. He clarified that there is an operating agreement in place with the federal government, and Ottawa would have to be consult-ed before any part of the airport was sold.

He said the AGM generally deals with “housekeeping” issues.

This time, after a hot meeting, the AGM was not adjourned, but was instead recessed until Oct. 29.

“The two municipalities want to consult further about their roles,” said Day.

“We’ve got some things to think about,” said Pitt Meadows Coun. Bruce Bell. “The two cities will get together.”

He declined to speak about his council’s thwarted desire to ex-clusively control the airport, or what its future plans for the site would be.

Bell did say there are businesses from Vancouver airport interest-ed in locating in Pitt Meadows.

“Business people have ideas for the area,” he said. “It’s a great piece of land in a great location – who wouldn’t have ideas.”

Pitt Meadows Mayor John Becker was unavailable for com-ment.

Pitt Meadows is one of the province’s most active airports, and In 2012 the YPK made the list of Canada’s 20 busiest air-ports by aircraft movements, in 20th place with 87,000.

Fraser Health is ask-ing breastfeeding moth-ers for more donations, which are critical in helping premature ba-bies thrive.

“We are reaching out to our community pa-pers in Fraser east to help us raise awareness about breast milk dona-tion,” said Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma.

“We are seeing dra-matic drops in dona-tions in some of our communities.”

Those include Maple Ridge and Pitt Mead-ows.

Breast-feeding moth-

ers in Maple Ridge donated 135,929 milli-litres (45,614 ounces) of breast milk last year.

“Unfortunately, dona-tions are much lower so far this year at only 24,412 millilitres (8,192 ounces),” said Juma.

So the health author-ity is trying to get the message out, that hu-man milk is a valuable resource in short supply.

Tiny, sick babies in Fraser Health neonatal intensive care units are benefitting from gen-erous donations from across the region, but the need is increasing, and the supply is not. Much like donating blood, donating human milk can be life-saving for premature babies who are prone to infec-tions and illness.

Women who are cur-rently breastfeeding can visit www.bcwomens-milkbank.ca and do a quick screening to see if they are eligible to donate any extra breast milk they may have

Once they have been fully screened by the provincial milk bank they get blood work done at their local lab. Their doctor is contact-ed to confirm that both the donating mother and baby are healthy and thriving.

Mothers then pump their milk and store it in the freezer in milk storage bags. A mini-mum donation of 150 ounces [4500 millilitres] is usually required. Ev-ery health unit in Fra-ser Health is now also a milk collection de-

pot. Mothers can con-veniently drop off their screened donor milk to the health unit in their own community. In pre-vious years, women had to make their donations in Vancouver.

Fraser Health will ship the frozen breast milk from the milk collection depots to the Provin-cial Milk Bank in Van-couver, where it is pro-cessed and pasteurized. The pasteurized milk is sent back to the NICUs at Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial Hospi-tals to nourish and pro-tect the tiniest and most fragile patients.

• For more informa-tion on how breastfeed-ing mothers can make a difference in a baby’s life, visit www.bcwom-ensmilkbank.ca.

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

B y To m F l e t c h e rBlack Press

Conservative leader Stephen Harper prom-ised an expanded tax break for hiring appren-tices Monday, as par-ties started an extended summer election cam-paign.

Campaigning in La-val, Quebec, Harper an-nounced that if his gov-ernment is re-elected Oct. 19, employers will receive a credit up to $2,500 a year for wages paid to qualifying ap-prentices for all four years of their training.

Harper’s Conserva-tives established the program in 2006, with a credit of up to $2,000 per year for the first two years, to encourage hir-ing and training.

NDP leader Thom-as Mulcair began his campaign emphasizing signs of weakness in the Canadian economy, with the latest statistics showing the economy contracting in the first five months of the year.

“Wages are falling, incomes are stagnant, and household debt is skyrocketing,” Mulcair said at his campaign kickoff in Hull, Quebec. “Middle-class fami-lies are working harder than ever, and can’t get ahead.”

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has also fo-cused his campaign on middle-class voters, with a central policy of reducing tax on middle income and increasing it for the top one per cent of income earners.

Green Party leader

Elizabeth May began the campaign in her home riding of Saan-ich-Gulf Islands. Her economic platform also calls for tax increases for the highest income earners, as well as in-creasing corporate in-come tax rates to 2008 levels.

The early election call increases spending limits for parties and caps it for third-party advertisers such as la-bour unions that have been targeting Harper. It also leaves some rid-ings without nominated candidates.

Another change is in debate formats, as first Harper and then Mul-cair declined the tradi-tional debate organized by TV networks. The first national debate is set for Thursday, Aug. 6, hosted by Maclean’s magazine.

Among the topics will be sharp differences over Canada’s role in the international mili-tary action against Is-lamic State terrorists in Iraq and Syria. Harper renewed Canada’s com-mitment to maintain six fighter jets and special forces support in one of his last acts before call-ing the election.

Both the NDP and Liberals are promising to end Canadian bomb-ing of Islamic State po-sitions. Mulcair would withdraw all military personnel from Iraq and Syria, while Trudeau supports keeping mili-tary trainers in place, with both promising increased humanitar-ian aid.

Economy hot election topicHarper promises up to $2,500 a year for hiring apprentices

Identical twins Jonathan and Drew Scott are the Thomas Haney graduates who have

taken their knack for transforming rundown fixer-uppers into dream homes.

Now the two will be looking to parlay their success on the red carpet when the Emmy awards are announced Sept. 20.

International sensations, the 37-year-old Maple Ridge brothers are the hosts of hit show Property Brothers and Property Brothers: Buying and Selling.

The real estate renovation series is nominated for outstanding struc-tured reality program category.

Jonathan and Scott’s producers – Kim Bondi, Katherine Buck, Gerard Barry and Jessica Vander Kooij – are officially named in the nomination.

The show will face stiff compe-tition from the Public Broadcast-ing System’s Antiques Roadshow, as well as other favourites Din-ers, Drive-Ins And Dives, Myth-Busters, Shark Tank and Under-

cover Boss.After graduation, Jonathan set

to work on becoming a licensed

contractor while Drew focused on becoming a real estate agent. The two have been investing in

real estate for nearly two decades.In 2004, Jonathan, Drew and

their other brother JD started

the indie film company Divid-ian Production Group. The trio carved out their own niche in the entertainment industry by per-forming, writing, directing, and producing.

The former Maple Ridge resi-dents have built a prosperous property investment company and launched Scott Brothers Entertain-ment in 2010 and eventually creat-ed Brother vs. Brother and Property Brothers at Home.

In 2013, the itwins branched out to create new content for television and emerging digital platforms, while still building the Scott Broth-ers brand globally.

Drew has 20 acting credits to his name, including roles on the Small-ville, which was shot in Vancouver. Most recently he appeared in the 2014 made-for-TV holiday movie The Christmas Parade. Jonathan has 10 credits, including a 1994 appear-ance on the X-Files.

The show, which is airs on W Network in Canada and on HGTV and 140 countries world-wide, focuses on Drew tracking down what he sees as hidden gems with potential, and then turning it over to his contractor-brother Jonathan, who overhauls the properties.

Pitt Meadows Golf Club member Gudmund ‘Goody’ Lindbjerg won the B.C. Super Senior Golf Cham-pionship on Thursday at Swaneset Bay Resort.

Lindberg shot plus five, with rounds of 71, 75, and 75 for a total of 221. That put him well ahead of second place at 235. The competi-tion is for golfers 65 and older at the provincial level, but is 70-and-up for the nationals, which will be held in Medicine Hat, Alberta on Sept. 1.

His total also had him tied for third in the Senior Golf Champi-onship, just one stroke out of sec-ond, against golfers 55 and older.

His putt on the last hole of the tournament from the edge of the green missed by an inch or two, he said, and would have given him a birdie and tied him for second.

Brain Van Os, another mem-ber of the Pitt Meadows golf club, caddied for Lindbjerg on the day. He said playing with a new putter probably cost him a few of strokes.

“Goody hit the ball well today,” he said. “But his putter let him down a few times.”

Lindbjerg is a four-time B.C. Senior champion, in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and has been the perennial club champion at Pitt Meadows.

He said he’s happy to headed back to the national championship

That event was won by John Gal-lacher, a Burnaby resident who plays out of the The Vancouver GC, but is a former Pitt Meadows club member. He shot 70, 72 and 74 for an even par 216 total, and won the provincial championship by four strokes.

“It’s a great feeling to win this again,” said Gallacher. “It’s great to be in contention and then to win it, it means I was consistent and it’s good to be consistent.”

Gallacher was rarely in trouble during his final round, making par on 14 of his first 15 holes. A gor-geous approach on the par-3 16th led to a five-foot birdie putt that all but salted away the victory.

“John strikes the ball so well and I’m very happy for him,” said Lind-bjerg, who also won the Best Ball competition with Gallacher as his partner.

Goody wins senior championship


The Maple Ridge Burrards lost the opening game of their best-of-seven WLA playoff series against the Victoria Shamrocks 13-9 on Monday night.

The league champions from Vic-toria jumped out to a 5-1 lead early in the game, but by the end of the first period the Burrards had tied it 5-5.

Then in the second period Victo-ria scored five more, three coming

on the power play, and the Burrards lost the pace. They trailed 10-7 after two.

Victoria was led by Cory Conway, the game’s first star with an eye-popping 10 points, on two goals and eight assists.

Dan Taylor led the Burrards in scoring with a goal and four assists, while three players had four points: Jarret Davis and Riley Loewen both had two goals and two assists, and Mike Mallory had a goal and three assists.

Other scorers were Ben McIn-tosh with a goal and three points, and Coady Adamson and Andrew Murphy each had a goal.

Coach Chris Gill told Victoria

media that the Shamrocks enjoyed favourable reffing, upset after one of his players had his helmet ripped off and was punched in the head. It resulted in a double minor, but should have been a major, said Gill.

“I made some very bad mistakes and I didn’t play well enough to win. I am happy to win the Super Senior title again.”

In the two-man best ball competition, Gal-lacher and Lindbjerg won the title by six strokes, as their (-13) total of 203 bettered two teams, Norm Bradley and Lance Lundy; and Doug Roxburgh and Steve Berry, who fin-ished at (-7) 209.

In the four-person Zone Team Competi-tion, the Zone 4 Lower Mainland team of Paul Batchelor, Mark Spoon-er, John Gallacher and Gary Ritchie overcame a two-stroke deficit to win by two strokes over the Zone 2 Interior team. Zone 4 finished at (+20) 452, two strokes ahead of the (+22) 454 score posted by the Zone 2 team consisting of Norm Bradley, Jeff Omland, Russ Bentley and Len Filek.

Maple Ridge’s Michael Stovman hit a great landmark in the career of a young hardball prospect – making the provincial team.

And what makes him an even better prospect is the fact that he did it at the age of 16 – he’s one of only three Grade 10 players with Team B.C. for the Canada Cup. That tournament goes in Saskatoon, Sask. on Aug. 5-10.

The Thomas Haney secondary student played minor baseball locally until second year pee wee. Now he’s with the Langley Blaze organization, playing

for its junior team, and he tore up the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League in both hitting and pitching. He was among the top 10 in the league both on the mound and in the bat-ter’s box.

As a pitcher he was stellar. He topped in the league in ERA at 1.21, and was second in both wins (seven) and strikeouts.

He pitched in nine games, starting seven of them. He won every start, and pitched a complete game in four of them. In 46.1 innings pitched he allowed just 28 hits and eight earned runs. He struck out 39, walking 17.

As great as those numbers are, Langley Blaze GM Doug Ma-thieson thinks Stovman will make his mark with a bat.

“I think he’s more of a hitter,” said Mathieson, who heads up arguably the best program for high school kids in the country, having gradu-ated the likes of former Toronto Blue Jay Brett Lawrie and more recently Maple Ridge’s Tyler O’Neill, who is a prospect in the Seattle Mariners’ system.

He said Stovman is a left-handed hitter, which is a positive, and he’s “a solid, physical kid,” listed at six-foot-

two and 200 pounds.“He’s a line drive hit-

ter, makes solid contact, and he’s got some strength and power to the opposite field.”

Through 25 games, 75 at bats with the Junior Blaze, the corner in-fielder hit .373 (ninth in

the league) with seven doubles, one homer and 19 RBI, while scoring 17 runs. The RBI total was good for seventh in the league.

He moved up to the Blaze senior team, and continued to hit, bat-ting .345 in 13 games,

and also allowed two earned runs in 10 in-nings as a pitcher.

In the pecking order of prospects with the Blaze, Stovman is “right up there,” said Mathie-son.

“He’s got a good future.”

Top prospect makes Team B.C.
