Members also decided that the next council will review the dis- trict’s indemnity policy in 2012, with a committee of citizens. “I think the present format works pretty well, but I’m on the inside, so it’s hard to tell,” said Speirs. “I think we need the ex- amination from a citi- zens’ commit- tee. Just to make sure we are doing the right thing. It is tough hav- ing to vote on your own pay raise. No- body wants to abuse the taxpayer, but we really need to attract quality candidates who can take time out of their work to do this.” A staff report found Maple Ridge is lagging behind its defined mar- ket of 10 other municipalities when it came to base salary (a sum that doesn’t include other cash payments, such as car allow- ance or acting mayor’s pay). The mayor’s current base sala- ry, $92,300, is nine per cent behind the market. Councillors, who pull in $37,300 a year, were making 13 per cent less. Coun.

Apart from the valu-able farmland that was created, many people now use the dikes that protect the farmland from ooding for leisurely strolls, bike rides or horseback riding. It was a smart move by the City of Pitt Meadows and the District of Maple Ridge to build trails on the dikes.The Dutch have more clever ideas and skills than just building dikes, though. They also design and build great cycling infrastructure. Many cities in Holland are old, and built right from the start for active trans-portation: walking and biking, with nar-row streets, and schools, neighbourhood shops and other amenities at walking or biking distance from where people lived. But there are also newer cities and newer neighbourhoods that are just as wonderful for cycling. Where the car speeds and volumes make cycling on the road uncomfortable, separated bike paths are provided, so that young and old feel safe getting around.And just like there are extensive cycling net-works within cities, there is an extensive cycling network throughout the whole country.After the Second World War, govern-ments at all levels in Holland started building more roads for cars, just like everywhere else, and cycling didnt get a lot of attention anymore. That lasted until the early 1970s, about 25 years. The oil crisis shook the decision makers back to their senses. They also realized they couldnt go on building ever more roads, with the limited space available, espe-cially in the densely populated western part of the country. The expanding roads didnt seem to solve the congestion problems anyway. It was decided to focus on improving both transit and cycling infrastructure as alternative transportation options, and theyve never looked back.Now, after some 40 years of consistent investments in cycling infrastructure and lots of trial and error, resulting in an amazingly efcient and well-functioning cycling network, the Dutch are reap-ing the many benets. Their cities are much more livable, they have much less air and noise pollution, produce much less greenhouse gasses per capita, need much less space for parking and roads than would have been the case if many of the trips presently made by bicycle or transit were made by car, and theyre less fat. Some statistics: of all trips made in the Netherlands, 26 per cent are by bike; of trips shorter than ve km, 36 per cent are made by bicycle. A stat that I think is quite interest-ing for folks in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, both served by the West Coast Express: of all trips to train and bus sta-tions in Holland, 39 per cent are made by bike. You should see all the bikes parked at train stations, sometimes numbering into the thousands.And, the percentage of trips by bike in Holland by those 65 and older: 25.In other European countries, the awareness that cycling offers huge bene-ts, not only to cyclists, but to everyone, is growing rapidly, and amazing things are happening. Until recently, Seville, Spain, a city of 700,000, had no cycling culture. Five years ago, only about 0.2 per cent of all utilitarian trips there were made by bicycle fewer than the number of trips made by bike in Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows (one to two per cent). But now seven per cent of trips in Seville are made by bike. You can now see many children, women and elderly people pedaling around the city. The Sevillanos looked north to the Netherlands for inspiration, and their goal was to create a complete bicycle network, so that cyclists were not left dangling on a thread, hanging on for dear life, when a bike lane suddenly ends. The design target for the Seville cycling plan was a 65-year-old woman carrying groceries on her bike. In other words, if its safe for her, its safe for anyone.Go Dutch: start riding your bikeSome explaining to doIngrid Rice News ViewsPublished and printed by Black Press at 22328 119th Avenue, Maple Ridge, B.C., V2X 2Z3Question of theweek: Should Maple Ridge council vote itself a pay raise?Yes: 7% No: 93% (65 votes)This weeks question: Do you fnd it easy to ride your bike around Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows?@ Online poll: cast your vote at www.mapleridgenews.com, or e-mail your vote and comments to [email protected] upsetatafarmerforallowingtruckstodumpll from construction sites on agricultural land.TheAgriculturalLandCommissionsaysHang Cho, who owns the two ll properties at the north end of 224th Street, is doing nothing wrong.The District of Maple Ridge also says he is doing nothing wrong, although it is monitoring the prop-erties as Mr. Cho was previously told he would need a permit and pay a fee to work within the districts 30-metre stream setback requirement.The ll is now getting close to that range, although theneighboursclaimithasalreadycompromised that. They also worry damage is being done to the river and habitat. They also maintain that building roadsandbermsdoesnotimprovethefarmland, but undermines its use for growing food.Mr. Cho, by the way, has listed the properties for sale online for $1.2 million 10.45 acres withpoten-tial for a development in a prime location.Ofmoreconcerntotheneighbours,however,is the Alouette valleys history of ooding.

Even with a two per cent reduction in tax, we will still be paying more because there are no more exemptions like we had with the PST and all services now have PST added that was not before. It will matter little that the rate of these new taxes is reduced by two per cent. As for businesses passing along savingsto consumers, Ill believe that when I see it. The increases in fuel costs and taxes have eaten up anything business may have saved due to the input tax credits, so whats left for them to pass along to the con-sumer? Even so, I have to admit that I was leaning towards voting no in the referendum, that was until our own premier would not defend nor allow her ministers to defend the HST in public debate. Pretty sad when you consider it is her own party trying to ram the tax down our throats.Other sideFrom: cb, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: HST horror stories fade away (B.C.

But how can we get more people on their bikes for transportation, so that we can experience the same joys and benets that cycling offers as the Dutch do? Should we follow Sevilles example: learn from the Dutch, and start building the kind of cycling infrastructure that would entice granny to bike to the store, and even more importantly, the kind that would allow our kids to safely bike to school?

The storm water system is now completely nished and the cross connections have been made to all of the residences along the section from Carshill to Darby Street. The only thing left is to do the nal repair and paving of the road to eliminate the bumps that area residents have endured for a number of months. Over the month of August the work will require restricting trafc to single lane alternating, and temporary road closure may be required. Local trafc, emergency vehicles and buses will only be permitted. Regular hours of work are from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm Monday to Friday for a total duration of approximately four weeks. Every effort will be made to minimize inconvenience to the public, but trafc delays are expected. Please obey construction signs and ag persons at the work zone.The second project involves the installation of a storm water system and a new multi-use sidewalk on 124 Avenue between Laity and 216 Streets. This road has some magnicent heritage trees, and the design of the project was done in consultation with the District Arborist to ensure that trees and root systems were protected as part of the construction planning. Only one tree, near the intersection of 124 Avenue and Laity Street will be removed. As the construction starts, the road will only be open to construction vehicles, local residents and emergency vehicles. There will be on-site trafc management throughout the construction phase. Area residents who use this popular east-west road are asked to look at alternative routes until the expected completion date at the end of September. The District and the contractor doing the work will work closely with the neigbourhood to minimize any inconvenience to the public. Information on both projects can be accessed at mapleridge.ca through a link on the Whats New section on the Home page.The Haney Farmers MarketEvery Saturday come downtown to Memorial Peace Park and enjoy the bounty of Maple Ridge.

Because he does not under-stand much medical terminol-ogy, nor for that matter do I, I tried to explain his situation to him using a metaphor he could more easily grasp. I told him that he was like an older car. One part might be going, but there is rust all over the place and there are a lot of things that are contributing to the fact that the car isnt running as well as it did when it was new, or at least on war-ranty.That metaphor, he under-stood completely. After all, he had an old truck in the drive-way that he hadnt been able to drive for several months. Part of it was that he couldnt drive it anymore, safely, so it had been sitting around for some time and parts have seized up.And part of it was that it was an old truck and every time he took it in, the mechanic looked underneath it, shook his head, and my fad knew there was a big bill coming for nu-merous parts that were neces-sary to get it going again.The warranty on human health is never a sure thing, although statistically, young people are a lot healthier than the elderly.But when young people get sick, its generally one issue that needs to be dealt with and, once diagnosed, can usu-ally be treated easily. For the elderly, a doctor must deal with a jigsaw puzzle of conditions and possible medications to attempt to get just the right combination to make the quality of life the best it can be.Rarely is it easy or quick to do so.While we all recognize that sickness is an inevitable part of living, our expectation is that it is a temporary thing. If we just hunker down and take care of ourselves for awhile, things will get better.For many elderly, thats just not the case, and at some point, they come to the realization that it might be as good today as its ever going to get.The optimist lives each day with gratitude for the health he or she has and the pessi-mist lives in fear of the future.When we got home from the hospital that day, my dad looked at the old truck and asked me if I thought I could fix it. Auto mechanics isnt exactly my specialty, but I recognized, in a moment, that he was taking the metaphor to the next level of his own psychological well-being.To make a long story short, I can now replace an alternator, belt tensioner and serpentine belt in a12-year-old Ford 150 and get it to run. Ever since I drove the truck out of the driveway, my dad has been feeling a bit better. Now he wants me to get his boat, the one thats been sit-ting idle for two years, in the water and running.I need to think my meta-phors through a bit more care-fully before I shoot my mouth off in the future.
