A city study to investigate com-

mercial development opportuni-
ties on land located off Lougheed
Highway in the northern part of
Pitt Meadows has begun.
Fortune 500 company AECOM
will lead the review with input
from an agrologist, economist, land
use and urban planning experts, as
well as a transportation engineer.
The $40,000 study will consider
50.9 hectares (125 acres) of land all
the way to the yet-to-be built North
Lougheed Connector, much of it
agricultural.

Therapeutic riding helps
Alex Bartsch-Csillag with
Down syndrome treatment
by Grant G ra n g e r
contributor
A
t first, it was gut
wrenching for Sonya
Bartsch-Csillag to see
her son Alex on a horse.
Alex has Down syndrome and horseback rid-
ing was supposed to be good for his therapy. It
helps improve muscle tone, strength and pos-
ture in a fun, inclusive atmosphere.
As a special needs worker, the Maple Ridge
single mother of three understood the therapy
provided by the North Fraser Therapeutic Rid-
ing Association would help Alex, but to see
him screaming and flailing away as he cried
for his mommy tore her heart out. She thought
she was being a bad parent by letting him con-
tinue.
Instead, she stepped back for five weeks and
allowed respite workers to take Alex, who will
turn five in March, to his lessons on Bentley,
the horse he was assigned.
Now, 18 months later, Alex knows the rou-
tine, every Tuesday morning going to the
stables, getting his helmet and belt on, walk-
ing to the riding ring, waiting for Bentley to be
brought in, then going up the stairs beside the
horse so Alex can mount him.
“Once he’s on Bentley, the look on his face
and in his eyes changes. He takes the reins, he
does high-fives with the volunteers. He tells Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Bartsch-Csillag.
“To see him now in that ring he’s so confi-
dent and so happy. It’s a huge night-and-day
difference.”
She wouldn’t, however, be able to afford the
horse riding therapy without the help of Vari-
ety Club, which pays for two seasonal sessions
of lessons every year for him.

News Views Ingrid Rice
Look at primaries
Who will be our next premier? And who will be
hurling questions across the floor as our opposition
leader?
The answers won’t come from voters at the polls,
but from card-carrying members of the B.C. Liberal
and B.C. NDP parties. In the highly-contested lead-
ership contests currently playing out, leaders are
chosen by party members. With resignations by Lib-
eral Gordon Campbell and NDP Carole James, both
jobs are up for grabs.
Anyone can join a party to participate in the one-
member, one-vote system. But not all citizens have
an interest in politics and political parties. Many
people just want to be served by a caring MLA and
have a competent premier at the helm.
That calls into question our current political sys-
tem in B.C. Looking south, it appears the U.S. pri-
mary voting system would bring a few more ounces
of fairness to the whole process. Simply put, under
such a system, all eligible voters would be able to
vote for their candidate.
In the U.S., primary elections are used by a politi-
cal party to nominate candidates for the next general
election. Open primary elections are open to all reg-
istered voters, and voting is done through a secret
ballot. This would offer citizens a more complete
voting system and improve democracy. It could also
boost participation in the electoral process, engag-
ing citizens in the political system and their wider
communities — and ultimately increase voter turn-
out on election day.
Under the current system, the winning leadership
candidate is likely the person who managed to col-
lect the most new memberships or someone already
entrenched in party circles.
A primary system would give the winning lead-
ership candidate a clear mandate to lead the prov-
ince — or B.C.’s official opposition, by putting more
