Irish rally car champ charged in assault

50-year-old Maple Ridge
man sustains serious
head injuries
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
A rally car champ from Ire-
land has been charged in con-
nection with an assault that’s
left a Maple Ridge father with
serious head injuries.
Trevor Harding, a resident
of Tipperary, Ireland, faces
one count of aggravated as-
sault.
The 34-year-old has been
released from custody on
$2,000 bail, but his passport
has been seized.
Police allege Harding in-
jured 50-year-old Cordell
Dame during a fight outside
Shooters Bar on Dewdney
Trunk Road around 2 a.m. on
May 1.
“We believe that this was a
one-on-one fight, which has
had very serious and sad re-
sults,” said RCMP Supt. Dave
Walsh.
Officers found Dame un-
conscious near a Husky gas
station across from the bar
near 207th Street.
Since the assault, his condi-
tion has not improved.
Dame’s younger brother
Leo said the head trauma is
so severe, his brother may
never recover. Dame ran his
own business – Clean-Pro
Janitorial – the family’s only
source of income. He has a
daughter, aged 22 and a son,
19.
If Dame doesn’t survive, the
case will become a homicide
investigation.
The family was to meet with
doctors today to get a better
picture of his prognosis.
“At this time, it looks griev-
ous,” said his brother.
Serious crimes investiga-
tors have spoken to numer-
ous witnesses, but could not
say what brought the Irish
national to Maple Ridge.

BIA looking forward to 5 more years
‘Now we feel the downtown
looks a lot better’
by Phi l M elnyc h u k
staff reporter
T
he downtown business group
wants to keep drumming up
business in the area for an-
other five years.
To do that, it needs a new bylaw
and some more money, the first of
which should be on its way in a few
weeks after council was to give first
reading Tuesday.
Maple Ridge council has told staff
to write up a new bylaw that will al-
low the association to exist for the
next five years, from 2012 to 2017.
That will create the framework
to allow a higher levy, raising the
total take next year from its 1,000
or so members to $193,500 from
$163,500.
More facelifts
In return for $50,000, Maple Ridge’s
downtown will get $3 million worth
of facelifts – and a deadline of Dec.
31 to get it all done – all thanks to
the Downtown Maple Ridge Busi-
ness Improvement Association’s
facade improvement program.
Three companies are getting
$10,000 each, with the highest
profile project being Haney Place
Mall. Narland Properties will use
the cash to help with a $2.7-million
south facade renovation this sum-
mer.

Ineke Boekhorst, executive-di-
rector with the BIA, said before
requesting a renewal of the bylaw,
the association asked its members
earlier this year if it wanted the
BIA to continue.
Of the 10 per cent who replied,
all wanted the association to keep
doing the work it’s been doing the
past five years.
When the BIA was first created
in 2006, one of the last municipali-
ties in B.C. to do so, the focus was
on crime and safety. That’s im-
proved in the downtown, thanks to
a $50,000 budget this year for that,
provided by Maple Ridge.
And thanks to the $50,000 annual
facade-improvement program, the
place is looking good.
“Now we feel that the downtown
looks a lot better, we feel that the
crime rate looks a lot better. Now
we feel it’s time to do marketing.”
That will be directed outside of
Maple Ridge to encourage newcom-
get the same amount for the final
$65,000 stage of its facade improve-
ments on Lougheed Highway and
224th Street.
And the ReMax real estate of-
fice on Dewdney Trunk Road and
223rd Street gets the same amount
to help out with a $101,530 renova-
tion that will feature new windows,
paint, signs and canopy.
The smallest grant was awarded
to Canine Connection dog-groom-
ing service, at 22346 Lougheed Hwy.
It’ll get $1,100 for a $2,800-project
that will see new awnings and paint
on the shop.

ers, but also aim at convincing Ma-
ple Ridge residents of the merits of
the core area.
Boekhorst considers the facade
improvement program one of the
highlights of the past five years.
This year, the association will
dole out $50,000 to eight businesses
to help them in their spruce-up ef-
forts.
That, in turn, will generate reno-
vations worth $3 million as busi-
nesses use the free money to kick-
start projects.
Complete reconstruction of
224th Street and two blocks along
Lougheed Highway in the down-
town, thanks to the district’s Down-
town Enhancement Program, has
also helped.
But it’s now up to the BIA to en-
sure that businesses keep up their
pride in their premises, Boekhorst
pointed out.
As for the development of Albion
flats, currently in the middle of a
probably would have waited an-
other year if it hadn’t been for the
grant.
“It certainly helped in the deci-
sion to do it.”
Last year’s rebuilding of the
Lougheed Highway hurt business
and it’s only now starting to re-
cover.
But parking, or lack of, is now
also affecting business.
“There are not the same amount
of parking stalls as there were be-
fore.”

improvement program for 2011:

planning process, “The merchants
are really quite divided on it,” she
explained.
In a report to council, economic
development manager Sandy Blue
said the BIA wants to broaden its
focus and follow the district’s stra-
tegic plan.
The report also says that Metro
Vancouver’s Regional Growth
Strategy calls for Maple Ridge’s
population of 74,000 to double by
2040, with half of that growth tak-
ing place in the downtown.
So far, the municipality has spent
nearly $60 million on a new library,
arts centre, youth centre and Me-
morial Peace Park over the past
several years.
Combined with the Smart Growth
on the Ground-based plan, which
calls for an eco-friendly downtown,
more than 1,500 new condos have
been built in the downtown area.
“There’s lots going on,” said
Boekhorst.

Opportunities pitched
for development
by Ph i l M e lnych uk
staff reporter
Anybody want to build a
12-storey green building, on
prime real estate, with views
of the Fraser River in Maple
Ridge’s downtown?
Give Dr. Bob Harrison a
call at the medical/dental
building on Selkirk Avenue
and 223rd Street.
He and other owners have
put together Golden Ey-
ries Holdings with visions
of putting up a residential/
commercial building on the
properties at 22313/22321
Selkirk Ave.
Harrison points out the de-
velopment could take advan-
tage of the district’s invest-
ment-incentive program,
which offers tax breaks and
outright grants for building
downtown.
“Imagine the stunning
views from a mixed-use tow-
er on this site. To the south –
the mighty Fraser River and
Mount Baker – to the north,
the majestic Golden Ears
mountains and, on a clear
day, you can even catch a
glimpse of Vancouver Island
to the west.”
The property occupies
1,373 square metres and is
next door to the same-sized
property owned by Maple
Ridge and currently used
as downtown parking. If
the district likes the idea, it
could sell its lots to expand
the footprint.
“The owners are open to
discussing potential devel-
opment options, including
comprehensive development
proposals and a range of
ownership models,” Harri-
son says in a one-page sheet
included in a promotional
package given to 300 real
estate investors, part of the
Real Estate Investment Net-
work’s tour of Maple Ridge
Friday.
The district offers incen-
tives for energy-smart build-
ings, which Harrison says
already are sought in the
market place. He says buy-
ers are often looking for en-
ergy-smart buildings, which
can mean quicker sales and
higher rents.

people could invest elsewhere
in the country, where prices are
cheaper, they expected to make a
good return here when they put
down their money.
What they did like was the
commitment to the downtown,
she told politicians.
Investing in an area where the
district is rebuilding roads and
utilities increases the certainty
of investors, Blue pointed out.
“Developers are worried about
sprawl,” she said.
“Developers are worried
about sprawl.”
Sandy Blue,
economic development manager
“They want to maximize their
investment.”
Each of the visitors got a kit
highlighting the attractions of
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.
One of those was the district’s
incentives to draw investors into
the downtown.
One question Blue addressed
came from a visitor surveying
the viewscape atop the munici-
when Great Canadian Gaming oc-
cupies its new premises on 227th
Street and Lougheed Highway in
two years.
Blue said there’s already been
some interest in the bingo plex,
nothing firm but just an apprecia-
tion of the location.
“That’s exactly the kind of target
property we [developers] want,
large enough to do something,
where there’s an incentive.”
Her department could help with
that by having a potential investor
ready if the current owner ever
wanted to sell.
Meanwhile, council learned
Monday of the first recipient of
its “partnering incentive” grant.
The developer of the apartment
building at the foot of 224th Street
qualifies for the first $31,000 of
the $500,000 the district is offering
this year in cash grants for build-
ing downtown.
The “partnering incentive”
grant has the district pay a de-
veloper up to $50,000 to cover the
development cost charges. It’s the
latest tactic approved by council

pal tower, then asking if a resi-
dential/commercial tower could
be built in the downtown.
She replied the district is actu-
ally giving tax cuts and grants to
encourage such projects.
“From my perspective, every-
body went out of their way to
make this a real, special event
for them,” said Maple Ridge
Coun. Al Hogarth, a realtor with
Coldwell Banker Tri-Tel Realty,
one of the sponsors of the event.
In welcoming the group, Ralph
Telep told people “the beautiful
thing about Vancouver is it’s full
– so where do you think it’s com-
ing?”
Blue emphasized that much of
what Maple Ridge was promis-
ing investors is already in place.
In the five years from 2005 to
2010, more than $265 million has
been invested in the downtown,
including $8 million in the down-
town streetscape.
“This really is the heart of our
downtown. We’re going to see
this area grow from 8,000 to over
20,000 people,” said Mayor Ernie
Daykin.
Blue said people liked that the
municipal buildings surrounded
Memorial Peace Park while un-
derground parking meant there
were no big parking lots within
sight.
as it tries to kickstart downtown
development.
Actual approval of the cheque
that the district will write to the
developer will take place at a fu-
ture council meeting.
Providing the cash incentive up
front is worthwhile to the district
given the amount of tax revenue
the building will rake in over its
lifetime.
In addition to the cash grant,
the project will also qualify for a
50-per-cent reduction in the build-
ing permit fee, plus another dis-
count of $6,000.
That works out to a savings
of $20,000 in what the developer
normally would have to pay in
building permit fees, said Laura
Benson, manager of sustainability
and corporate planning.
Once completed, the new build-
ing also would get a three-year
holiday from municipal property
taxes.
Blue said other cities also of-
fer rewards for building, but “we
haven’t seen anything which is for
the entire town centre.”

The bottom line

Taxpayers should be paying close attention to
the dispute over the way contract negotiations are
handled with unionized civic employees.
Several cities have served notice they no longer
want to be represented at the negotiating table by
the Metro Vancouver Labour Relations Bureau, and
others pulled out long ago.
Although membership in the bureau is not man-
datory and labour relations is not considered a core
function of the regional authority, the Metro Van-
couver group has been responsible for 60 collective
agreements covering approximately 15,000 employ-
ees on behalf of 35 employers.
But there are rumblings of discontent dating back
several years that this one-size-fits-all regional ap-
proach does not acknowledge local circumstances
and conditions.
The concerns are arising as the nature of hu-
man resource management has changed from ad-
versarial to collaborative, the competition for top
wages and skilled employees is fierce, and cities are
demanding more autonomy in how they deliver ser-
vices and treat their employees.
While it’s admittedly difficult to achieve cohesion
at the outset of negotiations when one (usually larg-
er) city is willing to have a work stoppage on an is-
sue when another (usually smaller) city is not, and a
lot of resentment has built up among the cities over
the years, it would be a shame to throw the baby out
with the bath water.
Labour consultant Jim Dorsey has analyzed these
issues and concluded that there is no going back to
the days of a united front. In his report for the labour
bureau, he recommends it reorganize to offer a buf-
fet of labour management services and he hopes
small and mid-sized cities will find a way to share
costs and efficiencies. Whether this can be achieved

We have also had teams win at those

We continue to play on these subpar
fields as these fields are our only op-
tion.
If we decide not to use these fields,
then there is nothing else available for
us to use.
In past years, I have seen three syn-
thetic fields built in our community, but
yet nothing has been done to our ball
fields.
Don’t get me wrong, as parks and rec-
reation is now working with us for the
last month of our season and moved us
down to Thomas Haney and Telosky Sta-
dium when the other baseball leagues
are no longer using those fields.

The value of open public spaces in
the centre of a downtown is beyond
dispute. Older communities of all sizes
in Europe, Central and South America
and most of the world have been estab-
lished around open public plazas.
These areas are the heart of the
community and create a public venue
where citizens can meet, picnic, lunch
together and celebrate community
events.
Accessible and attractive public spac-
es in the centre of town are among the
most powerful contributors to creating
a vibrant, engaged and functional com-
munity.
As the downtown become denser, the
rarest and most valuable commodity is
available park space.
Hotel and other building sites are
available and are being developed else-
where in the downtown core.
This lovely addition to Memorial
Peace Park boasts the largest mature
trees in the downtown and has, for
some time, been utilized successfully
as a de facto part of the park.
The wonderful open space of Memo-
rial Peace Park, unimpeded by tall
buildings, is not duplicated in any
other Fraser Valley community, to my
knowledge.
This makes Maple Ridge a logical
destination for large festivals such as
the Caribbean Festival.
It creates a remarkable and increas-
ingly valuable asset for present and
future citizens of Maple Ridge.

It is also trying to help improve the
field conditions at one of the Ruskin
fields.
But this is a long and slow process and
parks and rec continues to tell me it is
on a limited budget.
We are now being presented with a
possible per-head user fee, which could
substantially increase our league fees,
and we still get to play on the subpar
fields.
I agree with Mr. Macdougall, that it is
time that council realizes that there are
other fields outside of the downtown
core that do get used quite frequently
and do need the attention.
Until then, we will continue using
these subpar fields as they are the only
fields available to us and we do not want
to give up our sport.

‘Keep green space in public hands’
Overwhelming sentiment
at meeting for lot by park
by Phi l M elnyc h u k
staff reporter
Whatever happens to the post-
age-size piece of property next
to Maple Ridge’s leisure centre
– the property should stay in
public hands.
Maple Ridge Museum director
Val Patenaude said after pre-
senting her ideas for the proper-
ty, the overwhelming sentiment
from Monday’s open house was
that the District of Maple Ridge
should continue to own it.
The district held the open
house to get public feedback
as it tries to decide the future
of the green space that lies just
north of the Zellers parking lot.
The occasion also allowed the
museum to make its case to the
public about building a new Ma-
ple Ridge Museum and Archives
in that location.
“Everyone can agree that it
stay in public hands. Then we go
into a conversation about where
is the best place for a museum.”
It was difficult to gauge public
support for the museum propos-
al because it was an open house,
she added.
For Patenaude and the Maple
Ridge Historical Society, the
location would be cheaper than
the current building site in Port
Haney, on a slope just south of
