Hammond richwith history

Heritage

Hammond is one of the oldestneighbourhoods in MapleRidge and a drive through the

area reveals many vestiges of its richhistory.

But given its proximity to thenew Golden Ears Bridge, pressureis mounting to densify in thepredominantly single-familyresidential area.

“I think it’s going to be astruggle to maintain Hammond’scharacter and personality and tokeep its history alive,” said ValPatenaude, director of the MapleRidge Museum and Archives. “Thedevelopment pressure is only goingto increase. It’s difficult in thesedays with the land values that thereare to retain the village aspect withthe small houses that only take upa portion of their lot.”

Hammond was one of the first

real neighbourhoods in MapleRidge, Patenaude said.

Port Hammond was going tobecome the main terminus for theCanadian Pacific Railway.

“Port Hammond was thought tobe destined for very great things,”Patenaude said, but, alas, it wassupplanted by New Westminsterwhose location was more desirable.

In recent months two applicationsfor development in Hammond havecome to Maple Ridge council, onefor an industrial building on MapleCrescent Way beside the mill andthe other for an apartment buildingon three lots on 206 Street.

Maple Ridge councillor MichaelMorden said he thinks everythingis wrong about the applicationon Maple Crescent to rezonethe property from town centrecommercial to special industrial,which will allow for a two-storeyindustrial warehouse building.

It would have made more sense

to have a mixed residential andcommercial development there withretail stores at ground level andresidences above, he said.

“Nobody bothered to consultanyone in Hammond about this(application),” Morden said.

“The key is neighbourhoodconsultation.”

At this point, Hammond needs aneighbourhood association and anarea plan in order to revitalize thehistoric neighbourhood, he said. Heconsiders a Hammond area plan ahigher priority than even the Albionplan that is currently being workedon.

Morden added that it’s “crazy”that areas like Silver Valley wherethere is little infrastructure inplace are being developed whenan established neighbourhood likeHammond could be revitalized.

The industrial building on MapleCrescent passed third reading onMay 25. At that same meeting,Maple Ridge council gave firstreading to rezone three lots at206 Street and 113 Avenue fromone-family urban residentialto medium-density apartmentresidential. The area is designatedneighbourhood residential in theOfficial Community Plan, whichmeans it could have “limited infill,”that is, single detached homes,duplexes or triplexes. The proposedapartment building doesn’t fit withthe OCP designation, a Maple Ridgestaff report states, and would beonly appropriate on a major roadcorridor.

“The people of Hammond... are going to have to gettogether and find a way to

maintain the personality (of theneighbourhood),” Patenaudesaid of future development in theneighbourhood.

Patenaude gave the example ofthe Webster’s Corners CommunityAssociation that is consultedwith when any development isplanned in their area. Hammondneeds a similar type of communityassociation in order to preserve thecharacter of the area, she said.

A large part of Hammond isdesignated urban residential in theofficial community plan’s futureland use schedule.

Hammond is named after twobrothers who came to the area in1862 from Fenstanton, England.John was 26 when he arrived andWilliam was 19.

The Hammond brothers bought120 acres of land on the riverfront.Four Katzie groups were thought tohave occupied the land from whatis now the Hammond/Interfor Millto their present reserve on BonsonRoad.

The original Hammond homeis located at Maple Crescent andWestfield Street. Three houses havebeen built on that property. But thehouse John Hammond lived in withhis mail-order bride from Boston atLorne Road and Waresley Street isstill standing.

CorrectionIn the Friday, July 30 issue, the

“Ministry tells school to alter webdetails” article stated that the schooladministration asked parents to paya $12,000 bond. In fact, it was thesociety, the Vancouver InternationalPrimary and Secondary SchoolSociety that asked parents to paythe bond. The TIMES apologizes forthe error.

Hammond was still avibrant neighbourhood in the1950s and was a great placeto be a kid – there was astadium and lots of families.

“As a kid, it was greatbecause this place was full ofnothing but families – therewere a hundred boys,” saidJohn Grasser, a long-timeHammond resident andcreator of the “smile garden”at the corner of Dartford andBattle streets.

Port Hammond Junctionwas registered on Aug. 3,1883 at the New WestminsterCourthouse.

Grasser doesn’t understandwhy the sign put up by thehistorical society called thearea “Historic Hammond”although it was originallyintended as a port, like itsneighbour to the east PortHaney.

“If they can put a sign upsaying ‘Port Haney,’ our signshould say ‘historic PortHammond,’” Grasser said.

In 1882, construction onthe railway began throughMaple Ridge and this resultedin growth and prosperity.

Hammond was the siteof a tent town for Chineselabourers, a supply depotand temporary railroadconstruction headquarters.

About 70 labourers diedin Hammond during theconstruction of the railroadbecause of landslides.

There were two storesrun by Chinese immigrants.At Wo Lung’s store, alongwith other goods, there wasopium for sale since at thattime, it wasn’t illegal toimport opium.

The first bank opened inHammond in 1908 and itwas the Bank of Hamilton.The first telephone exchangecame to Hammond in 1910.Hammond and Haneyboth got electricity in 1912supplied by the Stave LakePower Co.

The mill was establishedin 1910 and was first calledthe Baily Lumber Company.In 1916, the mill became theHammond Cedar Mill after itwas rebuilt with drying kilnsand a cedar siding planer.

The mill became one ofthe largest employers inMaple Ridge and a driver fordevelopment in Hammond.It has continued to employMaple Ridge residents overthe years.

The mill became the largestcedar processing mill inthe world and employedgenerations – and keptfamilies in Hammond.

HAMMOND, From Page 1

“It has led to a level ofcontinuity in Hammondthat you just don’t find veryoften around the region,”Patenaude said.

Grasser worked at the millfrom 1969 to 1971, alongwith many other MapleRidge residents.

“That place was, as faras working, goes a ratherhard place to work,” Grassersaid. “It was bull work - youworked hard. It wasn’t unfairnone but you worked hard.”

Homes were built inHammond for mill workers– single-family homes forfamilies and rooming housesfor single men, many ofwhich still exist as apartmentbuildings.

Currently there are about150 workers at the mill andmany of the processes havebeen automated.

There is a sign on207 Street by the fieldand baseball diamonds‘Hammond Stadium,’ butthere is no actual stadium inthe park.

There was a wooden NatBailey-style stadium inHammond when Grasser wasgrowing up, but between thefour years he was gone from1965 to 1969, it disappeared.

Grasser remembers goingto games of the “semi-pro”league – “They all got paidfor it but not much,” Grassersaid of the Haney-Hammond

Luckies.He especially remembers

the travelling teams ofAfrican-Americans whichalso put on comedy routinesand played “shadow ball” – apantomime baseball game“almost like a dance.”

Grasser said the entirecommunity would comeout for baseball games atthe Hammond Stadium,sometimes a few thousandpeople, especially when therewere visiting teams from theU.S.

Ridge Meadows MinorBaseball Association wasworking to raise moneytowards building a stadium.

In 2006, a preliminarybudget was drawn up andthe cost of a new diamondand stadium was estimatedat $1.7 million. MarkKauhane, president of theminor baseball association,said this figure would have tobe looked at again since costsmight have changed over thelast few years.

The stadium plan included

pulling down the basketballcourts, a new baseballdiamond, bleachers for 500spectators, a batting cageand bull pen, a fully fencedfield, and concession standwith washrooms and anannouncing tower, parkinglot for 103 cars.❚ Many of the historical

details are taken fromMaple Ridge: A History ofSettlement by the MapleRidge Branch of theCanadian Federation ofUniversity Women.

A Vancouver mother has launcheda website called theshortylist.ca tofeature reviews of Metro Vancouverdaycares, preschools and elemen-tary schools.

Karen Young Chester, a mother oftwo preschool-aged children, saidit’s difficult to find the right daycareor school because of space short-ages in popular facilities, whichcreates waiting lists and lotterysystems.

Chester, a stay-at-home momand freelance video producer, saidonline information is scarce. Statis-tics are available, along with schoolrankings, but those numbers lackthe personal, anecdotal informationshe seeks.

“I usually go online to doresearch and I discovered it’s veryhard to find any information aboutindividual schools and daycares. Itseems like there’s this real absenceof information.”

She asked total strangers at theneighbourhood playground for rec-ommendations and tips when shewas searching for child care.

“I suppose this is just a way oftaking that playground chat online,so you will have contact with amore diverse set of parents and getmore opinions.”

Local mayors support Metrowaste-to-energy options

Metro Vancouver willgo ahead with plans toinvestigate burning theregion’s garbage – butnot necessarily in MetroVancouver.

Both Maple Ridge MayorErnie Daykin and PittMeadows Mayor DonMacLean voted in favour ofthat Friday.

Members of Metro’s sewageand drainage district voted63-49 in favour Friday ofinvestigating options fora mass-burn incineratoror waste “conversiontechnologies” such asanaerobic digestion orgasification, both in and outof the region, to deal with500,000 tonnes of waste thatis now being dumped at theCache Creek landfill.

Earlier in July Maple Ridgecouncil unanimously votedto send a resolution to MetroVancouver opposing massburn incinerators.

Ridge Meadows RecyclingSociety has also expressedopposition to mass burnincinerators.

Daykin said he voted infavour of investigating wasteto energy options, includingincinerators, because “it getsa whole bunch of things outon the table.”

“I guess it’s a bit of afallback position in a sense.We needed to do somethingtoday. We needed to get thisthing moving forward,” saidDaykin. “I voted againstlandfill as an option. I saidin my comments it’s just aswrong in my gut to bury it asit is to burn it.”

Mayor Don MacLean saidMetro Vancouver needsto “go with science” not“emotion.”

“I think that we have toinvestigate everything,”he said. “We haven’tmade a decision about anytechnology but I don’t thinkwe should start excludingoptions.”

MacLean said continuingto send waste to landfillsdoesn’t make sense becauselandfills produce methane,which is a much more potentgreenhouse gas than carbondioxide.

“I have found no reportsthat incineration would inany discernible way increasepollution in the FraserValley,” he added.

The Metro Vancouverdecision followed hours ofdebate, including an earlierrejection of the same motion.The directors also threw outa recommendation by Metrochief administrative officerJohnny Carline to build anincinerator in the region,which he said would becheaper to build and operatea facility here rather thantrucking the garbage outside,reduce greenhouse gasemissions and would give

the region financial benefitsin terms of selling heat andenergy from the facility.

He warned if Metro didn’tpursue “additional waste toenergy” in region, it couldthen investigate a facilityoutside the region or, indefault, expand the CacheCreek dump.

The plan will now go toEnvironment Minister BarryPenner. If it’s approved Metrowill send out requests forproposals with the hopesome sort of waste to energyfacility could be built by2015.

The Cache Creek dump isslated to close in 2016.

The incinerator wasproposed as part of theregion’s solid wastemanagement plan to disposeof the 500,000 tonnes ofgarbage that are now beingtrucked to the Cache Creekdump.

But directors were spliton whether an incineratorshould be built in theregion, outside or not at all.Burnaby Coun. Sav Dhaliwalsaid Metro should build anincinerator in the region“because it’s our garbage.”He said Metro should onlylook at other options ifno community wants anincinerator or if EnvironmentMinister Barry Penner rejectsthe plan.

“For us to really think thehealth risk doesn’t belongin this region . . . is playinggames not in our backyard.

This is our garbage; weshould be dealing with it.”

Yet Port Coquitlam MayorGreg Moore and Port MoodyMayor Joe Trasolini arguedagainst considering theincinerator in the region,saying it should be takinginto consideration theconcerns of their neighboursin the Fraser Valley, whovoted unanimously againstthe incinerator proposalbecause of fears of increasedair pollution in their uniqueairshed.

Trasolini asked whyMetro spent so much timeconsulting the public – 35meetings were held – if itwas just going to base itsdecisions on science.

New Westminster MayorWayne Wright noted hiscommunity has beenliving beside the Burnabyincinerator for 20 years andhe didn’t even know it wasthere. Vancouver Coun.

Tim Stevenson, whovoted against the proposal,questioned why Metro wouldeven be considering shippingits garbage outside theregion.

Metro Vancouver producesabout 1.4 million tonnesof garbage every year. Thesolid-waste managementplan aims to raise recyclingrates from 55 per cent ofgarbage today to 70 per centby 2015.

All the directors agreedwith the plan to boostrecycling and diversion rates

across with the region butnoted that there needs to besome way to dispose of 1.2million tonnes of waste thatcan’t be recycled.

The plan will now go toprovincial EnvironmentMinister Barry Penner forfinal approval.

Penner has previously saidthat Metro has other optionson the table including aproposal by Covanta Energyto build an incinerator inGold River on VancouverIsland and expanding theCache Creek landfill.

Local woman hopes forclosure on disappearance

Sandra Gagnon fears that she will neverfind out what happened to her youngersister who went missing in Vancouver’s

Downtown Eastside in 1997.Worse yet the Maple Ridge woman fears

police will find her sister’s remains but herkiller won’t have to go on trial.

Her sister Janet Henry is one of 68 womenwhose photo appeared on a police posterseeking information about women with high-risk lifestyles who had gone missing from theDowntown Eastside. Henry wasn’t one of thewomen whose DNA was found on Robert(Willie) Pickton’s farm but Pickton toldpolice he murdered 49 women. So far policehave charged Pickton with the murder of 33women, 32 of them were women whose facesappeared on the poster. That could still leave16 more women whom he killed and whompolice haven’t found.

Pickton was convicted of killing sixwomen and the Supreme Court rejected anappeal of the decision on Friday. A Crownspokesperson told the media the Crowndoesn’t expect to proceed with a trial againsthim on additional murder charges.

Gagnon said she’s spent years fighting tofind out what happened to her sister.

“It’s heart-reaching to me because if weever find Janet there’s nothing,” said Gagnon.

Gagnon said she still thinks of her sister “allthe time.”

“I think to myself maybe, just maybe thepolice are going to come to my place and saythey found her DNA. Now I’m just thinking ifthey come nothing’s going to happen anywaybut at least we’ll know and we can have amemorial,” she said.

Her sister’s disappearance has ravaged herfamily. Her brother Lance attended Pickton’scourt case daily and one night he camehome after court and had a heart attack.Gagnon blames the stress and emotional andpsychological pain of the trial for his death.

Meanwhile, Gagnon has suffered regularpanic attacks and her doctor says she haspost traumatic stress disorder.

Three weeks ago she thought she washaving a heart attack but it turned out it wasa panic attack triggered by hearing the soundof a wood chipper outside her house.

She describes her sister as a “loving,compassionate, caring person.”

“She was very giving. She loved herdaughter very much. Her daughter washer best friend and even before Janet wentmissing she said to me I want to straightenmy life out so I can see (her daughter) more,”she said.

Gagnon said she also feels some reliefthat she won’t have to hear more horribledetails about Pickton’s alleged murders in asubsequent trial.

Inspector Gary Shinkaruk, team leaderof the Joint Missing Women’s Task Force,

said the physical search on two of Pickton’sproperties, as well as a third area, hasconcluded. However, he stressed there arescientific advances being made all the time andmore DNA evidence could be found.

“It was a very comprehensive search forDNA,” he said. “The evidence is extremelysmall, microscopic and there’s been advancesin technology so the amount we needed tomake positive DNA matches we require lessthan we required before,” he said.

He said police are still examining someexhibits.

He emphasized that police have notconcluded the investigation into the missingwomen, including Janet Henry, where no DNAhas been found.

“Pickton has told us he killed 49 women andwe do not disbelieve that,” said Shinkaruk.

Shinkaruk said the task force is alsoinvestigating eight deaths of missing womenthey believe were committed to two serialkillers other than Pickton but haven’t arrestedanyone yet.

“We’re certainly attempting to be as openand honest with all the families at this point.We currently have officers going out alongwith victim services people to a large numberof families across Canada and the UnitedStates,” he said. “Certainly it’s been a longhaul for them as we can all appreciate... We’reextremely committed to still looking for (themissing women). We remain active.”

He said there are more than 50 people whoare still with the task force.

“It’s tragic and it’s horrific,” said Shinkarukof what investigators have learned during theinvestigation.

“When you think that there’s individuals outthere that are preying on arguably the mosthelpless or defenseless of our society... It’s justunbelievably sad and shocking.”

Gagnon said despite all the pain she’ssuffered, “I’m doing well in my life.”

She is working at the Kanaka Creek Lodgewith seniors and loves the job.

“I can tell you one thing. He’s not going topull me down. I’m going to keep going,” shesaid.

The B.C. government has cancelled aproposed mail campaign to support itsharmonized sales tax because it says publicreaction to the new tax has been better thanexpected.

On the other hand, Finance Minister ColinHansen admitted the Liberals were also afraidthe mailer could inflame critics of the tax,

which went into effect July 1.“I think the rollout of the HST has been

smoother than we had anticipated,” saidHansen, revealing that he pulled the plug onthe HST mailer Wednesday during a Liberalcaucus meeting in Vancouver.

“There were lots of people that felt themailer was not necessary and others thatsaid they did not want to receive it,” Hansenadded. There was a sense that sending outthe mailer could in fact exacerbate some of

the concerns that are out there.”The HST mail-out campaign had been a

cornerstone of the Liberal government’scommunications strategy to shore up supportfor the unpopular tax, which combines theformer provincial sales tax with the federalgoods and service tax, increasing costs forsome things. The government had triedto send out mailers earlier this year, butElections BC rejected the pamphlets becausethey constituted unregistered advertising

during the anti-HST petition campaign led byformer premier Bill Vander Zalm.

The government had redrafted thepamphlets to take a broader look at B.C.’seconomic performance, including the HST,said Hansen. But they were set to land ondoorsteps in mid-August, around the sametime two court challenges on the HST and theanti-HST petition were set to be heard.

Hansen said he had concerns about sendingthe mailer during the court proceedings.

“It takes passion and an unending desireto excel in delivering the highest of qualityand value...every step of the way. Passionto demand continual improvement ineverything. Most importantly, passion toensure the customer’s needs are always met,”Robert Grimm, Portrait Homes.

This statement is true in home constructionas well as healthcare and when Grimm sayshe wants to meet his customers’ needs hemeans more than the needs as a homeowner.He wants to ensure that their healthcareneeds in their new community are met aswell which is why he donated $50,000 tothe construction of the new EmergencyDepartment at Ridge Meadows Hospital andrecently made another gift of $5,000. Thanksto this recent donation Ridge MeadowsHospital Foundation is one step closer topurchasing two new cataract extraction unitsand monitors for Ridge Meadows Hospital.

RMH performs more than 3,200 cataractsurgeries each year. The majority of

patients are referred from Burnaby and NewWestminster through the Tri Cities and MapleRidge with some referrals coming from as faras Vancouver and Chilliwack. These surgeriesare performed four days a week in twoprocedure rooms. With the constant demandfor cataract surgeries the five local surgeonsneed the most state-of-the-art equipment toprovide excellent care.

“Two new cataract extraction units willdramatically increase the efficiency and safetywith which we can remove cataracts. Thenew machines will provide a much saferworking environment inside the eye, and helpus remove even the densest of cataracts withease while imparting less surgical trauma tothe rest of the eye. They will also allow fora faster return of vision after surgery and inmany cases allow us to perform the surgeryin a shorter time. These advancementsare very important and significant toour patients,” said Dr. Parkinson, anOpthamologist at Ridge Meadows Hospital.

Ihave an Eff Them haircut. It is really short and I’mnot too fond of it, but I can’t make myself complainto my hairdresser. Nor am I going to go elsewhere in

a huff, a car or bus.My hairdresser and I have been getting

to know each other little by little. She’sgot a quaint little shop around the cornerfrom my apartment and after eyeing her$16.99 sign for several weeks, I gave into my Scottish ancestry.

So I’ve been going there for monthsnow. About a week ago, it was timefor another cut and after exchangingpleasantries – It’s sure hot today but Ilike it and how’s business and stuff likethat, we get down to it.

She puts a CD of Iranian music in theplayer because that’s what she is. Iranian. She snips, Ilisten and all is well.

Then, I ask her a bit more about Iran because eachvisit I ask one or two questions, feeling she’ll talkmore as she gets to know me.

“Do you go back for visits very often?” I start.She tells me she went to visit her family two years

ago.I should have left it there, but I have to ask: “Would

you like to go back there to live?”She pauses and then begins to snip a little quicker

— is it maybe too quick? “No,” she says emphaticallyin her heavily accented English. “Not until thegovernment changes.” I can tell she’s getting a littleworked up.

“They are..., they are...those mullahs are...” shecan’t quite find the right word.

“Eff them!” she says loudly and that’s wheneverything goes awry.

I laugh and it’s too late. She has cut my bangs fartoo short and I notice the nice little wisps in front ofmy ears have departed to some follicle heaven.

She has suspended her scissors over my head, sofor the moment I don’t have to tell her to please God,Allah or Whomever don’t snip any more off.

“They don’t like women!” she says in disgust.And then we have a long conversation that does not

involve any more cutting of hair but does encompasssuch things as old men who see religion and poweras synonymous.

She gives me the Muslim greeting andsays: “Those old men, they talk like thatabout Allah, but all they want is to telleverybody what to do.”

Not wishing to give the impressionthat all is perfect in the western world ofreligion, I offer: “Well, we’ve got someof those powerful old guys too whoinsist on being right all the time.”

She evidently knows little aboutProtestantism, but she’s up on herCrusades and gives me something of ahistory lesson on how all those religioussoldiers stomped through Persia.

I listen with one eye on the scissors because I donot want my hair to get any shorter.

The Bible, the Koran they’re both good books shesays, obviously willing to be ecumenical about thewhole thing.

“But those people like the mullahs, they ruin thosebooks,” she says.

She puts the scissors down, so I feel a bit betterabout the conversation. And then, in her accentedEnglish in which she chooses verbs at random,she continues to give me a perceptive lesson incomparative religion. Her view is not the one I havegrown up with; it is an Eastern view that comes outof a culture thousands of years old.

She finishes it off by saying: “Jesus in the Bible is agood man.”

Not quite through, she adds: “I really like the DalaiLama.”

“There!” she exclaims holding a mirror so I can seethe back of my head where my hair is really reallyshort, “How’s that?”

“Very cute,” I say, avoiding the momentary impulseto say: “There’s not a damn thing you can do about itanyway, it’s so damn short!”

I’ll go back in a few weeks. And while she isbrandishing scissors, I’ll take care not to ask her anyquestions that might make her think of the mullahs.

Though many of us may be working infactories or offices, chasing the Canadiandream, the work of farming in the FraserValley is going stronger than ever, more than100 years after settlers first plugged potatoesand wheat seeds into this fertile ground, andlet their cows graze on flood-soaked grassesof Sumas Prairie.

Unlike most places in the world, B.C. hasan Agricultural Land Reserve.

On that land, more often than not,you’ll find computerized dairy farms,precisely engineered fields and cutting edgetechnologies.

The so-called “dumb” farmer, looked downupon for too long by self-important citycousins, today usually has an agriculturaldegree coupled with a keen and supple sensefor business, a necessity in today’s cutthroatglobal market.

If you live in the valley, thank agriculturefor your job. Poultry, milk, vegetables,mushrooms and fruits, add up to closeto half a billion dollars in farm gate sales– the many spin-off sectors that supportagriculture add another $1.5 billion to ourlocal economy.

If you eat, thank farmers for the food onyour plate, some of the best, freshest andsafest in the world. What they do, they doout of pride and love, despite the endlesshours and huge financial risks.

Farmers are stewards and watchdogs ofthe land, our water supply and even ourair. Farmers and all who work on the farmsdeserve our gratitude. Remember that nexttime you stop at a stand to buy fresh peppersor berries. So to all our farmers, old and newand to those to come, thanks for the meal.

Listen to this messageBeach towels usually feature colourful

patterns that reinforce our idea of beingnear the ocean as time spent being free, onvacation, without a care in the world.

But the beach towels a non-profit groupis leaving at Vancouver’s Kits Beach areanything but warm and fuzzy. Emblazonedacross each towel is the slogan, “You’reprobably not expecting to drown today.”

We hope the message doesn’t put a damperon anyone’s trip to the beach, now thatthe hot, sunny weather is finally here. If ithelps prevent just one drowning or otherwater-related fatality, however, the messagewill be worth the minor stress it maycause beachgoers. The Community AgainstPreventable Injuries (www.preventable.ca),the organization leaving the towels on thebeach, claims about 60 people a year die inB.C. from drowning — half of them childrenand youth.

For years, we’ve used the term “accident”to refer to car crashes, drownings and otherincidents that cause people to die.

The Community Against PreventableInjuries reminds us that many so-calledaccidents didn’t need to happen and thatthe best time to think about consequencesis before taking action, not after. With thatin mind, enjoy your time at the beach – butdon’t forget to pack your common sense.

❚ MailbagStirring the pot

Editor:Re: ‘Spinning Wheels’ on

grow ops, TIMES, July 13The Conservative

government has no interestin legalizing marijuanabecause prohibition makescrime, and crime necessitatescops. The whole thing is ascam designed to accustomthe public to an ongoingand ever-increasing policepresence in their daily lives.It has nothing at all to dowith public safety, it is allabout control.

“King said marijuana isso highly used it’s hard toregulate.” Nonsense. This iscut-and-paste legislation. Atwelve-year-old could figureit out.

“King said the amountof money being spent oncriminalization of marijuanais “huge”.” Over $1 billionevery year, on cops, courts,and cages, actually. Also,it costs all of us untoldbillions every year in as tensof thousands of Canadians

become under-employ-able because of a pot bust.Also, it is costing us $3billion annually in potentialtax-revenue. Legalizing potwould literally make Canada$4-5 billion wealthier.

“I think that what we’redoing is not successful,” shesaid. “It doesn’t make anysense to me.”

But prohibition isn’t aboutreducing crime or drug use.It never was. The wholething is designed to givepolice leverage to harassthe poor, the young, peopleof colour, and people withnon-regulation hairstyles.It is designed to keep copsbusy, lawyers rich, politicosblathering, and jails full. Itlooks pretty successful to me.

Kamp said marijuana is“largely decriminalizednow in practice for smallamounts.” Nonsense. Everyyear police bust tens ofthousands of people forsimple possession, and thenumbers go up by severalthousand every year. Lookat the court dockets: It is acash cow. If cops weren’t so

busy busting pot people, theymight have to do hard things,like go look for missingwomen and children andcatch street racers.

“I think it’s safe to say ourgovernment doesn’t haveany interest in legalizationand little interest indecriminalization,” he said.“We don’t have an interestin the wide opening up ofaccess to marijuana.”

Of course not. Legalizingmarijuana would not onlyreduce crime and generatetax revenue, it would restoreCanadian’s sense of personalfreedom – something theHarper government seemskeen to beat out of us.

“Kamp said there are noclinical studies proving theeffectiveness of medicinalmarijuana, which is whyit can’t be sold in a drugstore.” Colossal balderdash.There have been over 20,000studies showing the medicaleffectiveness and safety ofcannabis, which is exactlywhy it isn’t sold in a drugstore: it would put dozens ofother less-effective and far-more-toxic medicines rightout of business.

“He pointed out peoplecan buy dried marijuanafrom Health Canada, growit themselves if they havepermission from Health

Canada or designatesomeone to grow it forthem.”

This system – which hasbeen ruled unconstitutionalat least four times, andwhich has been widelycriticized as arbitrary,dysfunctional, and mean-spirited – is nowhere nearadequate! To even mention itis an insult. Notice how theHarperistas have a squilliondollars for jails and cops andG20 meetings and jets - butcan’t even increase the staffover at one Health Canadaoffice by 50 per cent.

“What’s produced by thefederal government isn’tappropriate for everybody,in fact very few.” Let’s befrank: It is categorically theworst pot in Canada. Eventhe “street” crap is better.A teenager could growbetter pot in a shed. This isdeliberate. The governmenthas deliberately tied thehands of the producer,forcing them to not onlygrow ground up, chemical-laden mulch-weed but also tosing its praises in the press.It is an epic boondoggle.Also, the government potwould have to go about fivesteps up the ladder to get to“lousy”.

To Ron Schibild, aNew WestminsterSalmonbellies’ rush

helps prepare him for a dinnerrush, and vice versa.

Five nights a week, he’s asouschef at Earl’s Restaurantin Richmond. The other twoevenings, he’s tending goalfor the Maple Ridge Burrards.And Schibild, 24, insists hecan see parallels betweenturning away a dozen shotson a power play and turningout a dozen meals to onetable in a timely fashion.

“The kitchen is such ahigh-energy, high-pressuresituation and if somethinggoes wrong it’s about howyou pick yourself up,”Schibild said. “It’s thesame thing with lacrosse.Something goes wrong andyou can just give up and loseor you can dig down deepand find a way to come back.

“The kitchen is a team. Itgets pretty crazy in there andpeople need help. You’ve gotstronger guys and you’ve gotweaker guys. You need themto work together.

“I do some of theinterviewing at the restaurantand one of the first questionsI always ask somebody is ifthey’ve ever played a teamsport. I don’t hold it againstpeople who haven’t, but Iknow that somebody whohas understands working inan environment with otherpeople.”

The Burrards have beencooking a little this year, soto speak.

Their 10-7 win over theVictoria Shamrocks recently,which featured a 36-save,first-star performance fromSchibild helped propel theminto the playoffs, their firstpostseason games since2005.

Maple Ridge coach DarenFridge insists that Schibild isa major reason why they’rein this spot. Schibild got hiseyes tested in the offseasonand he’s wearing contactsfor the first time, which isobviously part of it, but he’s

also more technically soundand not just relying on hisreflexes.

Along the way, the 5-foot-11, 185 pounder has seen hisgoals-against average drop to8.08 from 10.33 a year agoand his save percentage riseto .805 from .748.

“I think I’ve made a lot ofadjustments,” he said.

He’s done so well, in fact,that Fridge says that he’sbeginning to get phone callsfrom National LacrosseLeague teams about theRichmond native.

That winter pro league

interest is heady stuff whenyou consider that Schibildlost his backup gig with theSalmonbellies last seasonwhen Matt Roik cameout from Ontario and theBurrards only needed athird-round draft pick to grabSchibild’s rights.

Who knows? With theplayoffs possible and theNLL looking, there could bemultiple reasons for Schibildto celebrate in the comingcouple of months. If thereis indeed reason to party, atleast he won’t have to lookfar for a caterer.

You might not wantthem in your lawn butthe city’s top chefs

are willing to pay top dollarfor dandelions and otherhigh quality weeds, organicfarmers say.

“My salad mix is about25 per cent wild plantsanyway,” said Paul Healey ofHannah Brook Farm in MapleRidge. “But there’s been ahuge surge of fine diningchefs buying all these wildplants that are essentiallyweeds.”

Lumiere is a regular buyerof ox-eyed daisy, whileGorilla Food favours thedreaded dandelion.

“There’s been a real trendamong restaurants towardwild foraging crops,” saidHealey, who grows premiumsalad greens and vegetablesfor 27 restaurants and has awaiting list of seven others.

Glorious Organics Co-ophas set aside more thantwo acres of land to go wildto fill orders for purslane,wild sorrels and otherweeds, according to co-opmember Susan Davidson.The Aldergrove farm hasbeen supplying salad greensto high-end restaurantssince winning a contract toprovide the house salad forthe Northwest Territories

pavilion at Expo 86.“Pre-cut salads were not

even a known product at thetime and that launched usinto the restaurant trade,”she said.

Since then GloriousOrganics has thrived on asignature line of salads thatcontain no lettuces, becausethey reduce shelf life,Davidson said. “We producea salad that is quite novel.”

“We’ve done a lot of workto find out what’s edible,what’s nutritious, whathas a reasonable shelf lifeand what will grow in ourparticular microclimate,”she explained. “We alsopick our edible weeds when

they are in their prime, likechickweed and dandelionand shepherd’s-purse andox-eyed daisies.”

Glorious Organics hasabout seven acres undercultivation and gleans weeds,wild flowers and nettles fromanother two to three acres onthe edge-lands, she said.

Davidson opines that chefssuch as John Bishop haveled mainstream consumers toorganics.

“The foodie communityreally looks to these chefs toset the standard and let themknow what is appropriate,”she said. “It started out withorganic and now layered inis the whole incentive to eat

by Randy ShorePostmedia Network

Local growers feed top kitchenslocal.”

“In a year or two, if we seeeven more demand for weedsthen I guess we will know ifthe restaurants are leadingthe way,” said a moreskeptical Healey.

Whether consumers areprepared to follow chefs andincorporate wild foragedgreens into their everydaydiet remains to be seen,but their impact on thepopularity of organic produceand locally produced foodhas benefited farmers.

The growth in demand for organic foodsin B.C. has been explosive over the past 10years. The number of B.C. farms producingorganic food increased more than 40 per centbetween 2001 and 2006. British Columbianseat 26 per cent of the organic food sold inCanada.

It all adds up to good news for theagricultural sector. While the numberof farms in Canada dropped 20 per centbetween 1986 and 2006, the number of farms

in B.C. increased from 19,063 to 19,844, up4.1 per cent.

Both Davidson and Healey said the growthof farmers’ markets has made a positiveimpact on the bottom line, especially sincerestaurants can be slow to pay their bills,often taking three to six months to settleaccounts. “The restaurant trade has beenvery good to us but also somewhat erratic,”said Davidson. “With the farmers’ markets,you get immediate feedback from yourcustomers and you also go home with a bagof cash at the end of the day.”
