Run of River

by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter

If B.C. Hydro decides to tear down

the Ruskin Dam, the Upper Pitt run-
of-river project won’t be relied upon
to make up for that lost power gen-
eration.
Run of River Power spokesperson
Kirsten Langan said the company
has no plans to resubmit its Upper
Pitt power plan should B.C. Hydro
put out another call for independent
power projects.
The issue is transmission, Langan
said.
The upper Pitt River valley is sur-
rounded on three sides by provincial
parks: Pinecone Burke to the west;
Garibaldi to the north; and Golden
Ears to the east.
In order to get the power from the
remote valley to customers in the

√ CANADAvotes2011:
Q&A with the four main federal election candidates in Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission
Randy Kamp, Conservative party
Q1. What have you done in the past three years to
make you a good Member of Parliament?
A: “I guess the most notable thing is that I have been the
MP. Of all the candidates, I’m the only one who has that on
my resume. When I took the job in 2004, I set myself some
standards. The first one was to work hard, the second was to
think carefully about the issues, and thirdly, to treat everybody
with respect.”
Kamp said his office has helped thousands of people in the
past seven years and has good relationships with provincial
and local politicians. “I’ve done those things in addition to
other duties assigned by the prime minister.
“So I think that puts me in a good place to continue serving the
people of Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission as an MP.”
Q2. What is the most pressing issue this election and
how would you address it?
A: “I think the most pressing choice is about leadership and
who can provide a stable national government, which, of
course, requires a good, strong economy, with a low-tax plan
for jobs and growth. I think the stability is what’s important.”
He said other parties are presenting a high-tax agenda that
could stall the economy. “We need to be sure we exit this
economic downtown … and return to a robust economy with
a balanced budget.”
Q3. Who are your top three inspirational heroes or
leaders?
A: “I’d say my top would be my father. We grew up in Maple
Ridge and he was a very unassuming, modest man and he
raised us to see the value of treating other people well.”
Reform party founder Preston Manning was his No. 2 choice. “I
think he brought to the Canadian political scene some new and
interesting and even inspiring ideas. I think he did a lot to form
my political and philosophical outlook.
“Everyone knows that I’m a practising Christian and a follower
of Jesus, and he was one of the world’s greatest leaders. So that
would be on my list, as well.”
Q4: How will you improve transportation in Maple
Ridge and Pitt Meadows?
A: “We’ve already done some things to do that. Our govern-
ment has extended the gas tax to municipalities,” and
legislated it to ensure that it will be there forever. “There’s
been other funding that will get things for Maple Ridge-Pitt
Meadows like the Evergreen line.” He said because transporta-
tion is under provincial legislation it’s important to have good
relations with local and provincial governments so he can
advocate for what people want.
He said he’s been working to ensure other politicians know
his top two priorities are twinning the Lougheed Highway to
Mission and increasing frequency of the West Coast Express.

Dr. Jill Trotter
Dr. David Lennox
Dr. Harpinder Gill
Dr. Satinder Bains
Craig Speirs, New Democrat Party
Q1. What have you done in the past three years to make
you a good Member of Parliament?
A: “In the past three years, I’ve been involved in all three levels
of government” – the Federation of Canadian Municipalities,
Union of B.C. Municipalities and Metro Vancouver.
“At UBCM, I put forward a resolution (on limiting the use of plas-
tic bags in stores) that got … voted as an accepted resolution to
limit the use of plastic bags in grocery stores.”That was sent on
to the provincial government. “It was dismissed outright by the
provincial government.”
Speirs has also been involved with water issues and organized
the “Get Out the Migration Walk,” on the Alouette River last year
to raise awareness about protecting Pacific salmon from fish
farms.
Q2. What is the most pressing issue this election and
how would you address it?
A: Water. “I just don’t think we’ve done enough. I think that
the pressures on our salmon stocks, open net pens for salmon
farming, are just wrong. We got to go to a closed net system ...
where we can filter the water. It’s just too critical.
“In the riparian areas, we need to ensure our activities … farm-
ing, industry and residential … have to have a lighter touch. It
comes directly from your driveways and how you wash your car.
Low-level pollution has to be addressed.”
He wants the federal government to insist that the provincial
government improve stormwater management and farm
impacts on streams.
“Every point of pollution is really important to address.”
Q3. Who are your top three inspirational heroes or
leaders?
A: Gandhi is one of my most inspiring figures in all of history.
And he says, be the change you want to be in the world. To me,
that says it all.
“Definitely Tommy Douglas [former Saskatchewan premier,
known as father of medicare]. He showed that there’s much
strength in an idea. “He said you can lock up a mouse or a man,
but you can never lock up an idea.
“Never be afraid of being in the minority. If you have a good
idea, it will gain traction. Like health care.”
His third hero is his son Zachary, who died of a heart ailment
when he was eight months old. That taught him to try to pay
back B.C. Children’s Hospital for the care they gave to his son and
to help heal the earth. “He taught me never to be afraid, No. 1,
of my emotions, and No. 2, of putting myself out there to create
that change.”
Q4: How will you improve transportation in Maple
Ridge and Pitt Meadows?
A: “We’re down to very few road improvements that are
needed.

Peter Tam, Green party
Q1. What have you done in the past three years to
make you a good Member of Parliament?
“I’ve got to know the community by doing a lot of volunteer
work because I think an MP is a person who represents the
community. I’ve been in many organizations like the Scouts
and Rotary (Meadow Ridge), which teaches fairness, honesty
and accountability, which I think is something that’s really
needed.
“So I believe these values are very important when it comes to
taking on a leadership role in the community.”
He said his experience in working with municipal council has
also given him an idea about what it takes to take on these
roles. Tam has also been Scout area commissioner for the
Three Rivers Area (Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, Mission.)
Q2. What is the most pressing issue this election and
how would you address it?
A. “The most pressing issue right now … is water. That’s
because recently we’ve been having some problems on the
Alouette River, dealing with the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans. Right now, Mission is facing a water problem (the
proposed P3 of its new water transmission system from Stave
Lake to Mission and Abbotsford). Tam says that means the
privatization of the municipal water supply.
“I think what we need to do is fundamentally define water
as a basic necessity of life.” That’s already been so defined by
the UN, he pointed out. That has to be adopted in Canada, he
added. “The basic necessities of life we cannot privatize. It has
to be managed by public interest.”
He said the P3 of the water system in Mission and Abbotsford
could make it subject to the North American Free Trade
Agreement which prohibits Canada from controlling export of
natural resources once they begin. “We really have no control.”
Q3. Who are your top three inspirational heroes or
leaders?
A. “Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., because he said change does
not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but through continu-
ous struggle.
“We’re struggling to get the Green policies and platforms out
there. It’s a struggle because we’re up against the same old
status quo. We’re up against well-financed campaigns.”
Tam said Mother Theresa and Mohandas Gandhi are his two
other heroes. “They have a lot of quotes that I use that gives
me direction in the way I handle things.”
Q4: How will you improve transportation in Maple
Ridge and Pitt Meadows?
A. “I think the best option right now is to look at a light rail
system [as proposed by Rail in the Valley] south of the [Fraser]
River and we hook into it, [via the Golden Ears Bridge]. That
would be the most immediate, feasible solution at this point.
See Green, p4
22320 Brown Ave., Maple Ridge
Mandeep Bhuller, Liberal party
Q1. What have you done in the past three years to
make you a good Member of Parliament?
A: “I’ve been contributing to this community through my
participation with the arts council.” Bhuller is also a volunteer
director with the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Youth Centre
Society, and is a commissioner on the Maple Ridge-Pitt
Meadows parks and leisure services commission. He’s also
helped the Ridge Meadows Child Development Centre
fundraise.
“I’ve always enjoyed my community and this is my only
outlet to give back what I’m enjoying.”
Q2. What is the most pressing issue this election and
how would you address it?
A: “I think the most pressing issue for people, it’s about
people this election, is the economy. “How I plan to address
that is by empowering people, through the support they
need to be able to become more actively engaged in job-
readiness skills.”
He cited the Liberal party’s Learning Passport, which
promises $1,000 a year to students enrolled in college or
university, as well as the Early Childhood Learning and Care
Fund for child care.
Q3. Who are your top three inspirational heroes or
leaders?
A: “My first extremely inspirational hero is (physicist and
cosmologist) Stephen Hawking. My second would have to
be Mohandas Gandhi and my third is a local hero to all of
us and that is Rick Hansen. Stephen Hawking, (who has
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s disease), is to me,
the true picture of being able to do anything you choose to
do. Nothing is impossible is the only message that I get from
Stephen Hawking.”
Bhuller has spina bifida and has to use a wheelchair some-
times to get around. He used to drive, but is no longer able to.
“I’m hoping that this is the extent of it.” He’s adapted so he
can continue to do two things: contribute to raising his family
and “definitely contribute to my community, because I don’t
know anything else. My community means everything. My
wife has become and integral part of my community service.”
Q4: How will you improve transportation in Maple
Ridge and Pitt Meadows?
A: “I will look to the local and provincial governments to
advise me on what their constituents consider to be major
priorities and I will advocate in Ottawa to secure the funds
to meet the commitments.” He doesn’t favour any particular
transportation project.
Q5: Education, the economy or social welfare – what
takes priority for you and how would you deal with it?

21 years on council, he wants more leisure time,
and because he said he’s got nothing more to prove,
nothing left to accomplish.
No one’s disputing his reasons.
Under MacLean’s watch, Pitt Meadows has grown
from a small, sleepy farming community to a proud
rural city, a self-sufficient one with a rich, preserved
heritage, and getting closer to a balanced tax base.
It’s not all houses. It’s a walkable community.
Several issues remain unresolved, though, as Ma-
cLean steps aside, such as the debate about an over-
pass on Harris Road, and commercial development
around the proposed North Lougheed Connector.
But those will be for the next mayor and council
to deal with.
One of the main reasons Pitt Meadows has been
able to accomplish so much in the past 12 years is
that council, under MacLean’s leadership, has been
a cohesive unit, sticking to a single, clear vision – to
build a better community.
But that could be compromised now with two cur-
rent councillors declaring their intentions to seek
the mayor’s seat and a third contemplating it, po-
tentially opening up two new spots on council.
One only has to look down the highway at Maple
Ridge to see what happens when you have a re-
volving door of mayors and councillors, divided,
eternally, it seems, over the wording in documents
about whether or not to preserve every speckle of
farmland and, if so, where to grow some jobs.
That is how you get left behind.
Pitt Meadows hasn’t done that, to MacLean’s
credit. He’s been a strong and loyal leader, and for
that deserves our thanks.
What Pitt Meadows needs going forward is an-
other one like him – not three, all thumb-wrestling

April through May.
Premier Christy
Clark has kept her
options open and
held her cards close
since winning the
B.C. Liberal leader-
ship in February. B.C. Views
She is expected to Tom Fletcher
announce shortly
that she is running
in a May by-election to fill the seat
vacated by Gordon Campbell.
But a by-election would have had to
be called by now to put Clark back on
the front bench in time for the start
of the spring session. And there are
two legislative tasks that won’t wait:
passing a $40-billion budget for the fis-
cal year that has already started, and
changing the format and date of the
harmonized sales tax referendum that
has been announced for June.
A spring session must begin with
the new premier coaching from the
sidelines, but assuming Clark wins in
Vancouver-Point Grey, it sets up her
triumphant return to square off with
the new NDP leader in question period
before the session ends in early June.
A mail-in ballot for the HST refer-
endum will allow several weeks for
responses to be sent in. The govern-
ment now says it will be August before
the result is known.
Clark has indicated she wants the
HST question decided before a general
election is called. Thus a September
that might be brief, and Clark’s upbeat
ads with the tagline “this is just the
start” set the tone.
NDP leadership candidate John
Horgan talks about looking forward
to a campaign where he hands out
brochures with his picture, not Camp-
bell’s. But the policy-challenged op-
position has offered up another attack
ad featuring, you guessed it, a picture
of Campbell on a cereal box.
For the B.C. Liberals, the policy hits
keep coming. First it was increasing
the minimum wage, and now Clark’s
“families first” machine is moving on
B.C. Hydro.
Rich Coleman has a well-earned
reputation for getting things done and
he has wasted no time since Clark
assigned him to the energy file. B.C.
Hydro will continue with its applica-
tion to raise rates nearly 10 per cent
this year, but Coleman has begun a
review aimed at paring back that and
future increases expected to total 50
per cent by 2016.
Coleman quickly determined that
delaying the imminent launch of B.C.
Hydro’s smart grid project would be a
false economy. Instead, he is focused
on two hugely expensive seismic
upgrades, to the Ruskin Dam in the
Fraser Valley and the John Hart Dam
on the Campbell River.
Together these are budgeted at more
than $2 billion and are the type of proj-
ect that can encounter costly surprises
when digging into the dirt. Coleman
of the day, I suppose, but certainly
they’re going to have to report in to me
on it, because I told them they have to.”
Coleman has also appointed three
senior bureaucrats to find options for
savings in B.C. Hydro’s plan, and to
report back to him by the end of June.
“It’s still Hydro’s decision at the
end of the day, I suppose, but
certainly they’re going to have to
report in to me on it, because I
told them they have to.”
Rich Coleman, Minister of Energy and Mines
That will give the government enough
time to craft a rate relief program for
B.C. Hydro customers, just in time for
September.
• Correction: I erred in a recent
column that said the Ruskin Dam is
part of a regional flood control system.
It isn’t.

“On a personal note, I

I would not have had the

Becker would have to
“align more stars” than
other councillors if he de-
cided to seek the mayor’s
seat.
“I have a job and a
business. So the issue of
running for mayor, while
intriguing, is one I have
not really got my head
around - as yet,” he said.
He added MacLean
put a lot of personal and
business issues aside for
many years.
“I can appreciate and
see the sacrifices he
made, so it’s not some-
thing I would do lightly,”
said Becker. “There are
some very big, high-level
issues that need to be ad-

A brave rooster, how-
ever, scared off the pred-

intact.
Last week, a cougar
had the same idea.
Farahbakhchian was in
his back yard around 10
a.m. Wednesday when
the big cat jumped the

The sight of Farahbakh-

cat’s mind and he leaped
back over the fence and
disappeared into the
bush.

he saw me and my dog.

Egg hunt alternatives

C
oloring Easter eggs, hiding them
and hunting for them has been a
holiday staple for generations. Ev-
ery now and then, Easter celebrants desire
something different to make this year’s
fun unique.
There are several different ways to cel-
ebrate Easter that don’t have to involve
hidden eggs. Try out these ideas for some
enjoyment.
• Pin the tail on the Easter bunny: Make
a variation on the donkey game by draw-
ing (or buying) a picture of a bunny. Glue
some cotton balls to a piece of cardboard to
make tails, using double-sided tape on the
back. Spin kids around and have them try

to attach the tail.
• Treasure hunt: Instead of children
racing around to find hidden eggs, parents
can draw up a treasure map that takes the
children, via different clues, to a special
treasure hidden. It could be a chocolate
bunny or a basket of treats.
• Who Am I?: Print Easter-related
phrases onto cards that then attach to a
headband or hat with a small piece of tape
or Velcro-type material. The person has to
guess the word (without seeing what it is)
by the clues others provide.
• Easter crafts: Scour the craft store for
wooden eggs, crosses, baskets, and similar
items. Purchase colored pencils or water
colors and encourage children to decorate
their items. This can keep children busy
after the meal when adults want to social-
ize.

The Easter Egg We wish

As with the Easter Bunny, the Easter Egg pre-dates the Christian holiday
of Easter. The exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was everyone a
centuries old when Easter was first celebrated by Christians.
From the earliest times, the egg was a symbol of birth in most cultures. Happy Voted the
Easter
Eggs were often wrapped in gold leaf or, if you were a peasant, colored
brightly by boiling them with the leaves or petals of certain flowers. “#1 Hair Salon in Maple Ridge”
The Easter Bunny is not a modern invention. The symbol originated with
the pagan festival of Eastre. The goddess, Eastre, was worshipped by Remember:
the Anglo-Saxons through her earthly symbol, the rabbit. Offering men’s & women’s hair services
TURKEY BONES are not good
The Germans brought the symbol of the Easter rabbit to America. It was
for your four-legged friends! as well as esthetics, massage, facials
widely ignored by other Christians until shortly after the Civil War. In fact,
Easter itself was not widely celebrated in America until after that time. & more to have you look your best.

Easter
Festivals of spring
Sparkle up Your M
any people might not associate spring
with festivals, but that does not mean
this season of rebirth isn’t host to fes-
on March 20, which was the first day of spring.
This festival commemorates the deliverance
of the Jewish people throughout the ancient

Pandora Braclet
tivals celebrated globally. In fact, each year
people of various religions and cultures anx-
iously anticipate the arrival of spring, which
coincides with a host of festivals commemo-
rating important historical events. A few festi-
vals that will be celebrated this spring:
• Purim: The Jewish festival of Purim does
not always occur during the spring season, as
its date correlates to the Hebrew calendar. In
2011, however, the festival did end at nightfall
Persian Empire from the plot by Haman to ex-
terminate them, as recorded in the Old Testa-
ment Book of Esther. Jews mark the festival
with a recitation of the Book of Esther and by
giving mutual gifts of food and drink to one
another. Additional traditions include giving
to the poor or less fortunate, a celebratory
meal and even the wearing of masks and cos-
tumes.

Easter
Festivals from p26
• Holi: Commonly referred to as the Festival
of Colors, Holi is a religious festival celebrated
by Hindus and Sikhs each spring. Primarily
observed in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka, the
celebration includes throwing colored powder
and scented water at one another. Songs are
sung and food preparations often begin many
days in advance. But the festival’s main em-
phasis is on the burning of the Holika, a holy

fice. Catholics typically “give up” something
for Lent, such as avoiding the consumption of
meat on Fridays throughout the Lenten sea-
son. The Friday before Easter, which always
falls on a Sunday, is called Good Friday and is
also one of the holiest days of the year in the
Christian faith. This day commemorates the

bonfire symbolic of the annihilation of the de-
moness Holika.
• Easter: Christians are well aware that Eas-
ter, the most important day in the Christian
calendar, occurs each spring, this year on April
24. Easter commemorates the resurrection
of Jesus Christ three days after his crucifix-

Leading Edge of Comfort & Care
F or Dr. Bhupinder Johar, the owner of Haney
Animal Hospital, caring for animals has been a
part of his life since his childhood in India.
“My family raised cattle and sheep, and we also had
horses and dogs,” Dr. Johar said. “I was always very
interested in animals.”
“I belonged to a community in India which was
basically an agricultural community,” he said. “From
there, I got involved in animal welfare. It’s the
background in which I grew up.”
Dr. Johar was licensed as a veterinarian in 1991 in
India, and then received his Canadian license in 2003,
after immigrating to Canada. He declared that these
12 years spent working with animals provided a crucial
background that he has drawn upon ever since.
“The idea was to be my own boss, because I had
the technical skill and knew what I was doing,” he
explained.
One of his key focuses with Haney Animal Hospital
is providing the most technically advanced care
available. This can make animal treatments far easier
than they are in other circumstances. Dr. Johar stated
one particularly important technique his vet clinic
offers is laser therapy, which can help animals recover
from orthopaedic surgery more quickly.
“It penetrates deep into the muscles and tissues,
reducing the pain and promoting the healing process,”
he said. “We combine the laser therapy with a low
dose of painkillers, and it helps to make the animal as
comfortable as possible.”
Dr. Johar shared that laser therapy helps animals
recover more quickly from broken bones, broken
ligaments disc problems and many more ailments.
“We also do laser surgery. There’s less pain, less
bleeding, less swelling and less complications,” he
said. “Healing can be quicker.”
Another area where the clinic has focused on
technological advancement is ultrasound, which
can detect internal issues in animals and can help to
diagnose problematic conditions at very early stages.

“Ultrasound technology can give us a quicker, more

He said another piece of technology that allows the
hospital to detect health issues more quickly is digital
radiography equipment.
“With digital radiography of the internal organs, we
can see with more clarity,” he explained. “We can get a
