Pitt council pans park fee hikes. p3B.C. ViewsWhat ails the New Democrats? p6

Vandalism at Allco Park has gone from disgusting to dangerous.

Students of the Environmental School Project have been using the park, at 248th Street and Alouette Road, for the past two weeks.

They recently arrived to find someone had put horse manure on

the picnic tables. Then the horse manure was found on the handles of the metal bear-proof garbage cans. The toilet seat covers were glued

into a down position. Next, dog fe-ces was found on the handles of the garbage cans.

“That’s filthy, and you wonder why people are doing this,” said principal Clayton Maitland.

After two flat tires, one on the trailer he hauls for the program and another on a staff member’s vehicle, they scanned the area for nails – which they had found in the tires. They didn’t find nails spilled on the ground.

“They were intentionally put in with the sharp ends up, and covered with leaves,” Maitland observed.

The nails were on a roadway that

runs along the Alouette River.At that point, Maitland made

police aware of the ongoing issues, and wanted to inform users of the park, which has popular horse rid-ing trails.

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Maitland.

He said the 80 students in the Environmental school have been disappointed by the vandalism in the parks where they are attending school.

Maitland said he is worried for people walking their dogs or riding horses in the area.

Cop car strikes teen on highway

A teen who was struck by a po-lice cruiser early Saturday in Maple Ridge remains in hospital.

The 17-year-old was hit around 12:30 a.m. while crossing Lougheed Highway, just east of 216th Street.

He was seriously injured in the crash, according to B.C.’s Indepen-dent Investigations Office.

Owen Court, spokesperson, said the police car did not have its lights and sirens activated at the time of the accident.

“They were not driving at Code 3, which means they did not have their emergency equipment on,” he added.

Court did not know if the officers involved were responding to a call or were on routine patrol when the teen was struck.

According to the RCMP, two Ridge Meadows officers were trav-eling east on Lougheed Hwy. in separate cars when they saw the boy.

The first RCMP cruiser passed the teen, but he was struck by the second vehicle.

Court said it is too early in the investigation to determine whether the teen was intoxicated.

2 -- Wednesday, June 19, 2013 -- THE NEWS - www.mapleridgenews.com

A request to hike parks fees by 10 per cent and charge non-profit groups a fee to use facilities was denied by Pitt Meadows council.

Parks staff sought the changes after determining fees for parks and recre-ational facilities in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows were below the regional average.

Both Maple Ridge council and the Parks and Leisure Commission en-dorsed the fee increases, but the hikes were rejected by Pitt Meadows at last week’s committee meeting.

“I think we should be for the com-munity,” said Coun. Tracy Miyashita, relating how she found it was cheap-er to book an event at a private golf course.

Instead of charging 16 different fees, the parks department has condensed them to five. For the first time, how-ever, local non-profit groups will be charged a fee for renting meeting rooms.

For the Maple Ridge Leisure Cen-tre, staff are recommending five per cent increase. If approved, the youth or senior rate will increase from $3.71 to $3.90 and family rate from $9.94 to $10.44.

For the Pitt Meadows recreation centre, staff have recommended a five per cent increase in the child rate and a 10 per cent increase for youth and seniors.

If approved, the child rate will in-crease from $2.48 to $2.61 and the youth or senior fee from $3.20 to $3.52.

In a report to council, parks depart-ment business manager Danielle Pope

noted that although 10 per cent may seem aggressive, the rates will con-tinue to remain below the current re-gional average.

Pope added that staff will most likely bring back a similar rate increase next year to catch up with fees charged by other municipalities.

If the fee increases are adopted for 2014, admission revenue will increase by a projected $17,000, and rental rev-enue will go up by $20,000. Over three years, $8,000 of the projected revenue will come from non-profit groups.

The prospect of continued fee hikes

didn’t sit well with Pitt Meadows council, which believes the current rates are too high.

“We need to start showing why the costs are so high,” said Coun. Gwen O’Connell, who was shocked that the rental rate for the South Bonson Com-munity Centre is $126 per hour.

“At the end of the day, these are our residents who are paying the bills.”

Mayor Deb Walters wants the parks department to find other ways to fund the programs and facilities it runs.

“We can’t just keep raising the rates,” Walters added.

Since the fee increases were rejected by Pitt Meadows council, parks and leisure services staff will have to return with another pitch.

“Council indicated that they would like to ensure that the proposed new rates for halls and meeting rooms are not only competitive in the market place, but that they are also affordable for Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows citizens to enjoy them,” said director of parks and facilities David Boag.

Parks staff will return to council at a later date with a comparison of rates charged by private facilities.

Dog owners will soon be able to walk their pets off leash on a long stretch of in Pitt Meadows dikes.

At a committee meeting June 11, council approved a 5.8-kilometre sec-tion of trails stretching from the Pitt River Bridge to the north end of Har-ris Road as an off-leash area.

Director of parks and facilities Da-vid Boag told council staff patrolled the dikes from 216th Street in Maple Ridge to the Pitt River Bridge and have determined allowing dogs to run free will have a minimal impact on other trail users.

Council supported adding the off-leash areas, but have directed staff to educate dog owners, add more garbage cans and signs. Council also requested that staff provide an update

on the success of the two off-leash ar-eas in one year.

“The addition of designated off leash areas on the dike trails will pro-vide dog owners with legitimate ac-cess to one of the most desirable dog walking experiences,” said Boag in his report to council.

Staff believe it will also keep dogs out of children’s playgrounds and parks.

Council was set to formally endorse the new off-leash areas at its regular meeting on Tuesday.

Fill site approvedPitt Meadows has approved an

application by a developer to truck fill to a site where homes will be built.

The Onni Group of Companies

needs to raise the 4.6 hectare (11.4 acre) property at 19451 Sutton Ave-nue to meet the city’s requirements for building in the flood plain.

Onni estimates it needs 18,859 loads to fill the site, with work ex-pected to be complete in one year.

Over a year, there will be 37,718 truck trips to and from the site or 290 trips per day.

Council approved the application at its committee meeting last week and was scheduled to formally en-dorse it at a regular meeting Tues-day.

Fill will be truck to the site via Airport Way and the city will re-ceive $4 for each truck load.

The road will be swept daily and trucks will be only be allowed to access the site between 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday.

Nickel and diming on bridge tollsstaff reporter

Golden Ears Bridge users will pay an additional nickel per crossing in their cars and small trucks, or a dime more in large trucks, starting next month.TransLink spokesman Derek Zabel said the modest increase will add up to $400,000 in additional revenue.Customers have three tolling op-tions for the Golden Ears Bridge. They can have a transponder (or TReO decal) installed in the vehicle, video registration, in which license plates are registered and photographed each time the vehicle crosses the bridge, or “pay-as-you-go,” in which unregistered license plates are photographed, then tracked.Starting July 15, the transponder rate will go from $2.95 to $3 for cars, $5.95 to $6 for small trucks, and $8.85 to $8.95 for large trucks.The rate for video-registered ve-hicles will go from $3.50 to $3.55 for cars, $6.50 to $6.55 for small trucks, $9.50 to $9.60 for large trucks, and registered motorcycles will stay at $1.50.The pay-as-you-go rate will rise from $4.20 to $4.25 for cars, $7.10 to $7.15 for small trucks, $10.05 to $10.15 for large trucks and $2.70 to $2.75 for motorcycles.Zabel said TransLink will bring in annual toll rate increases of five to 20 cents, based on the consumer price index. This year’s hike amounts to an increase of just over one per cent.Fee increases will make a comparatively small difference in the amount of revenue, but more bridge users accounts for a significant jump, said Zabel.Usage was up 10 per cent over 2012, with 10.8 million crossings, generating an additional $1.6 million. Through the first quarter of 2013, the number of trips was up another four per cent, at about 2.5 million crossings so far.The tolls pay for building, operat-ing and maintaining the bridge.The revenue the toll bridge has generated is well under forecasts, by an estimated $38 million over three years.But Zabel said the number of trips will continue to increase as the region grows, and other routes become increasingly congested.“People start to recognize it’s a better option for them,” said Zabel.“It’s built to last 100 years, and usership will continue to grow.”

Two Maple Ridge men and one from Pitt Mead-ows who destroyed cars during the 2011 Stanley Cup riot are among 46 people being sued by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia.

The civil suit, filed June 13, seeks to recoup more than $526,000 in insured losses to 77 damaged or destroyed vehicles.

“ICBC has a responsi-bility to protect our cus-tomers’ premium dollars and is taking legal action to recover the costs of these acts of vandalism to ensure they are not passed on to our customers,” said the auto insurer said in a statement.

The civil court claim was filed two years after a riot rampaged through downtown Vancouver following the Canucks’ Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins.

Besides looting busi-nesses, rioters flipped and torched numerous vehicles.

Andrew Cuthbert and Jordan Houde from Ma-ple Ridge have already been convicted and sen-tenced for their role in the

riot but will now have to face provincially owned insurance company in civil court.

Cuthbert, who received a 90 day prison sentence in April, is accused of helping to destroy a 2007 black Hummer. ICBC has already paid out $39,693 for the Hummer H2.

In February, Houde received a five-month conditional sentence and 12 months probation for his role in the riot. He is accused of destroying a Mini Cooper, for which the insurance payout was $27,346.

Matthew Schulz, a for-mer Burnaby resident who now lives in Pitt Meadows, is accused of destroying a green GMC. He pleaded guilty last November to rioting and stealing a light bar off a police cruiser. Schulz re-ceived a 12-month condi-tional sentence followed by 12 months of proba-tion.

Others named in the law suit come from across the Lower Mainland and all over B.C., from as far away as Nelson, Winder-mere, Prince George and Tofino.

The claim names Jane Doe or John Doe in some cases where accused riot-

ers have charges pending or may be identified at a later date.

More than 120 vehicles were damaged during the riot, including 24 emer-gency vehicles.

The losses range from small amounts for scratches or broken mir-rors to total write-offs.

The largest single dam-age claim is $61,000 for

a 2006 Bentley that was trashed and torched by rioters.

In the past two years, police have recommend-ed 1086 criminal charges against 325 suspected rioters. Police expect to charge 25 additional peo-ple in the coming months.

So far more than 100 ri-oters have been convicted and sentenced.

Ridge, Pitt rioters sued by ICBC

Crosswalk discussed in pastTeen from front As of Monday, the teen was reported to be in

stable condition.“His injuries met the definition of serious,

which is why we were called in,” explained Court.The Independent Investigations Office was cre-

ated in July 2012 to investigate incidents where police cause death or serious harm.

The stretch of Lougheed Hwy. where the teen was struck has been the subject of complaints before.

A petition was started last year after a 14-year-old boy, on the way home from school, was hit by a pickup truck.

In 2010, two pedestrians were killed in two sep-arate accidents on the same stretch.

The District of Maple Ridge said Monday that improvements to that section of highway are coming. A multi-use path will be built alongside the highway between Laity and 216th St.

The province has also agreed to fund pedestrian improvements to the intersection of Laity and Lougheed as part of this project.

There is no word on whether another crosswalk will be added, however.

Lougheed Hwy. is a provincial responsibility.

THE NEWS/opinion

VICTORIA – A er 34 NDP MLAs were sworn in to continue a stretch of opposi-tion that will reach at least 16 years, leader Adrian Dix took a few questions about his future.

e party’s pro-vincial council will meet June 21 to set the terms of refer-ence for a review of the party’s dismal election performance, Dix told reporters. He repeated that his performance won’t be spared, and ticked o some conventional wisdom about the NDP campaign.

Dix mentioned the alleged lack of “negative” ads, the local campaigns (read candidates), the decreasing reliability of polls and, when pressed, his surprise decision to come out against the pro-posed twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline.

Like last week’s hysteria over a tiny leak in that pipeline, these are great sound bites for the short attention spans of the modern media. But they don’t explain much.

is all-powerful NDP provincial council is a case in point. A glimpse into its inner workings was provided by a summary of an NDP policy development workshop called “Imagine Our Future” that was leaked by the B.C. Liberals in the nal days of the campaign.

e workshop took place in Novem-ber 2010, coincidentally at the same provincial council meeting where the revolt against former leader Carole James

tumbled into the open. While 13 caucus members were kni ng their leader for reasons they still can’t or won’t articulate in public – a glaring problem in itself – the backroom policy brainstorm revealed a deeper malaise.

Among the “dream tree” notions put forward in the workshop was “free” post-secondary tuition and public transit, along with raising wages and lowering fees for daycare. is isn’t a dream tree, it’s a money tree.

Remember, this is the NDP’s ruling body, not a high school “social justice” class or an Occupy Vancouver squat.

Showing a glimmer of adult supervi-sion, the workshop table on “equitable tax policy” even identi ed the problem. Its rst recommendation: “Increase our economic and nancial literacy to gain credibility.”

e “public ownership” table really got radical. Scrap public-private partnerships, the basis of most government construc-tion today. “Nationalize” independent power projects, in the Venezuelan style of state seizure of private assets. And perhaps most incredibly, tear up the trade agreement between Saskatchewan, Al-berta and B.C. that harmonizes transport truck regulations and so forth.

In the real world, the four western premiers met this week in Winnipeg. And the three-province project now called “New West Partnership” will continue to dismantle archaic inter-provincial barri-ers.

Why would the NDP be secretly against that? Because it’s also a “labour mobility” agreement.

is harkens back to a supposed golden age in Canada, when two corporate titans shared the beer business, producing iden-

tical bland lager from identical factories in identical stubby bottles. Inter-provin-cial trade in these stubbies was strictly forbidden, requiring each province to have a big unionized brewery to make uniformly bad beer for the proletariat.

is is the power of a monopoly union. And because of it, this was how govern-ments tried to “create jobs.” It’s a bygone era to which many core NDP supporters stubbornly cling. is explains the party’s revival of a “job protection commission-er” for forestry.

Which brings us to the proverbial root cause of the B.C. NDP’s woes. Its largest nancial donor is the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which donated $1.4 million to the party in the past eight years, nosing out the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Hos-pital Employees’ Union.

Former HEU and BCGEU presidents now sit in the NDP caucus, critics for health and “green” jobs respectively.

This week’s question: Is 12 years old too young to have a cell phone ?

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher

Maple Ridge Coun. Al Hogarth, a realtor, wants to get rid of all the secondary suites in the high-density subdivisions of Albion.

He blames them for the “disgusting” parking issues on the narrow streets of the developments anking 102 Avenue, and suggests if homeown-ers can’t a ord their mortgages without such help, they should move.

Firstly, secondary suites are not to blame for all the vehicles parked on the narrow Albion streets, approved by the council of the day and which are standard in small-lot subdivisions around the Lower Mainland. Lack of space is the culprit, for various reasons.

Secondly, illegal suites are no more of an issue in Albion than anywhere else in the community, ac-cording the district bylaws department.

So why is Hogarth taking aim at Albion?Was he on council when those subdivisions were

approved?Did he sell any of those homes?If all the suspected suite renters in Albion were

ushed out, where would they go?Who knows. But none of the properties Hogarth rents out

are “disgusting.” Not like the one he managed in Port Haney that was raided by police three times in 12 months. Police arrested ve people total and seized all sorts of illegal drugs from it.

But secondary suites in Albion are the real prob-lem, all those residents parking on the streets.

Meanwhile, Hogarth thinks the district should legalize homes with two non-owner occupied suites.

at wouldn’t increase the probability of on-street parking in any way?

On another note, council hasn’t decided if it will widen part of Brown Avenue, as Hogarth request-ed, and where he manages three lots that are part of a redevelopment proposal to construct a three-tower condo project.

Maybe some of the poor folks in Albion will need a new place to stay.

Editor, The News:Re: Pitt council denies MLA Bing a

leave (The News, June 14).It may well be legal for Doug Bing to

remain on Pitt Meadows council while also sitting as a provincial Liberal MLA, but that does not make it right.

Anyone who does not see a percep-tion of conflict of interest is not see-ing clearly.

One would hope that, at some point, we could elect people who have at least some level of integrity.

It comes as no surprise that Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters does not want Mr. Bing to resign from council now that he is an elected MLA.

She will no longer get her own way.In every significant council vote

on issues of spending and taxation, council has split 3-3, with the mayor casting the deciding vote, which is always in favour of increasing spend-ing, increasing her own salary every year, and increasing taxation to pay for this.

Mr. Bing has consistently supported these increases, along with two of his colleagues.

Should he no longer be there to sup-port the mayor, she could lose.

Pitt Meadows would, of course, gain from this. But for this, the mayor and her three supporters care not a whit.

Mayor Walters is too busy wast-ing taxpayers’ money on plush hotel rooms because she can’t be bothered to make the 45-minute drive home from Vancouver. Even a taxi would have cost us less. Or, perish the thought, a truly civic-minded mayor who pays for her $500-plus room out of her own pocket.

And why should this be so remark-able, if she really does care?

This ‘little’ perk may not seem like much when compared to $90,000 claimed by Senator Mike Duffy, but it is exactly the same problem.

Editor, The News:Re: Destruction of Pitt Polder (Letters, June 5).I don’t know what George Clarke is talking about –

“greedy developers” stripping the land? I would suggest that Mr. Clarke should be more spe-

cific with his comments. Yes, the land has been stripped for blueberry and cranberry fields.

And who are these developers?Effectively, agricultural producers of berries.Was that not the purpose of farmland use?It sounds like all type of development has taken place.

I travel to Swan-e-Set all the time and have not seen any residential development for 20 years, or any other type of development.

But talk about the rest of north Pitt Meadows, it seems there is no end to the need of barns and large buildings, and some seem to cover very large portions of their properties. Needed for what purpose?

Talking about preserving farmland.Lance FelgnarPitt Meadows

Get with it, Maple Ridge• Thelma Ge:It’s a pain to ride on Lougheed Highway, especially from 216th to 222nd streets – the side is narrow and rutted with many of the killer grates, and the sidewalk is narrow and lumpy and usually a lot of people riding stolen bikes going the wrong way. I shop in Maple Ridge and I sure would like to be able to ride my bike to the stores more often and not feel like I have to drive a car to feel safe. That’s wrong. Pedestrians have sidewalks, cars have the roads, what do the cyclists get? This town had better get with it, because with the price of fuel as it is, I see more and more people buying bikes but getting frustrated as to where

they’re going to ride. I usually end up riding to Port Coquitlam to shop at Fre-mont Village because at least the majority of the way, once out of Maple Ridge, I’m on lovely separated paths – frequented by pedestrians and cyclists. Maple Ridge is doing a disservice to it’s citizens when it comes to shopping, it always has and it doesn’t seem to be improving. You can cycle outside of the downtown (Abernethy), but what about shopping? I haven’t seen any stores on Abernethy.

Spending not sustainable• Michael Kingston · works at Tri-City News:Re: Pitt CAO makes more than White House staffer. It’s difficult to believe that this level of spending is sustainable. The justifica-tion is everyone else is doing it, so that makes it okay. Could this be another Stockton California in the making?

It’s time to get tough with ‘tiny town,’ a Maple Ridge councillor said during a district review of rules on secondary suites.

“Country Lane, we should go down and shut down every one of those suites that exist in Coun-try Lane,” said Coun. Al Hogarth.

“If you want to see un-safe conditions, go down there and take a look. It’s disgusting as far as I’m concerned. I think we have to buck up and stand up and take a real stance on this.”

Hogarth was comment-ing as council reviewed staff ideas for tuning up the bylaw that regu-lates secondary suites, which aren’t allowed in the small-lot subdivision east of 240th Street along 102nd Avenue.

Suites have been al-lowed since 1999 in homes on lots of 557 sq. metres or larger, provid-ing the owner of the prop-erty lives on site.

Hogarth, a realtor, said Albion’s narrow roads and small lots are creating parking problems, con-gestion and safety issues. People are using the park-ing stalls for everything but storing their vehicles.

The small lots were cre-ated to provide afford-able homes, but owners instead now are install-ing secondary suites to further help with costs in homes for which they weren’t designed.

“If you can’t afford that single family, smaller lot home without aug-menting it for the mort-gage, then you probably shouldn’t be owning that type home. You should have been moving into a townhouse or one of the other diverse type hous-ing we have,” he added later.

Last year, Hogarth man-aged a rental home in Port

Haney that was raided by police three times within 12 months.

Five people were arrest-ed at the heritage house on St. Anne’s Avenue, at 223rd Street, after police executed a search war-rant. Methamphetamine, crack cocaine, marijuana, magic mushrooms, Oxy-contin, Tylenol 3s, and heroin were seized.

Hogarth says the Resi-dential Tenancy Branch makes it difficult to re-move bad tenants.

According to bylaws director Liz Holitzki, Al-bion doesn’t present any more safety or parking or suite problems than any other area.

“Right now, we don’t have any number of com-plaints in any one area.”

Several suggestions for changing the secondary suites bylaw came after getting the public’s two cents’ worth last year.

One idea is to create a new housing zone that would specifically allow three-plexes and four-plexes, homes with three

or four suites that small investors could build, and thus increase the supply of rental units.

Planner Diana Hall said that staff heard “loud and clear” that secondary suites are part of afford-able housing and that suites must be located in homes occupied by own-ers.

Allowing homes to be built with back doors into the basement makes “con-struction of illegal suites quite easy to do.” But those should be banned in small-lot homes such as in Albion, staff say.

Other parts of a revised secondary suites bylaw:

• continue to use a com-plaint-driven enforce-ment approach on second suites;

• allow secondary suites in CD-1-99 and in R-1 zones, basically small ur-ban lots, but keep them out of the smaller lots of 213 sq. metres in Albion;

• parking rules though should stay the same, requiring two stalls for homeowners and one stall for the secondary street tenants, recogniz-ing, there’s no way of re-quiring people to park in those stalls rather than on the roads.

• change the district’s long-term plan to en-courage builders to rough in fire-separation walls, electrical and plumbing to allow easier and cheap-er future conversion of basements into full suites.

A tough part of the by-law is what to do with temporary residential units, little suites built for family members of home-owners.

Staff are proposing to ban those in R-3 or small lots of 213 sq. m., be-cause they can easily be converted to secondary suites.

Coun. Judy Dueck though said people de-pend on that type of ac-commodation. “There are all kinds of families that need this situation.”

Hogarth suggested that anyone who has a sec-ondary suite should be required to have a licence for that suite. That would make it easier to enforce tidiness or safety bylaws.

He also favoured legal-izing homes with two non-owner occupied suites, saying they can be maintained as well as an owner-occupied house.

He also was concerned about possible liability against the district should a fire or accident happen in a suite for which the district is collecting extra utility fees, but on which it’s not enforcing building code or safety require-ments.

Council will vote later on which changes to make to the bylaw.

First question is ‘why?’Park from front

“I couldn’t imagine what would happen to a horse it if stepped on a three-inch nail, right in its frog [in-side the hoof].”

It will not be an issue for the school for long.

Elementary classes end on June 27 in the district.

But with the onset of summer holidays, he expects the park’s us-age will actually increase.

The 27-acre site has picnic areas and trails for walking and riding.

The Rivers Heritage Centre, man-aged by the Alouette River Man-agement Society (ARMS), is locat-ed on the grounds of the Alouette Correctional Facility and can be accessed via Allco Park.

The district parks department sent staff with metal detectors to

comb the area and remove all of the nails, but no more were found than those Maitland and his staff discov-ered.

David Boag, the district director of parks and facilities, said he has followed up with ARMS and with Corrections officials about the is-sue.

ARMS reported more vandalism – glue placed in locks.

“We’ll monitor this, and see if there’s any follow-up incidents,” he said.

Ridge Meadows RCMP are aware of the issue, and a spokesman said there could be more patrols in the area, as time permits.

Police will follow leads offered by members of the public who see peo-ple acting suspicious in the park.

Noted the spokesman: “The first question rational people ask is, “why?”

Hit and runRidge Meadows

RCMP are looking for a driver who struck a teenager Monday eve-ning in Maple Ridge and fled the scene.

The 18-year-old man was hit by a red car around 5 p.m. as it turned left off Westfield Avenue onto 207th Street.

The young man was knocked onto the hood of the car, then tumbled onto the road.

“The victim has told

police he waited for a truck to make a left turn off of Westfield before he proceeded onto 207th Street, and he did not see the car until it hit him,” said Sgt. Dale Somerville.

Police are looking for a red car, possibly a two- door coupe, older style, missing the driv-er’s side view mirror.

The driver is de-scribed as a woman with long blond hair, and a thin build.

A few weeks ago, the Pitt Meadows Museum had a visitor who dropped by

to follow up on an oral history interview he had done with us a few years earlier.

He was here to drop off some documents he had found and to ask a few questions about a street, Herring Road, that had disappeared under the regional airport when it was developed.

As is always the case with interesting visitors, one conver-sation led to another and soon we were discussing a fascinating experience he had in the late 1930s, when he was about eight years old.

On that day, more than 75 years ago, he was walking along Harris Road and his inquisitive nature led him into a discussion with the occupant of a house that stood just to the north of the CPR tracks on the eastern side of Harris Road.

The house, built in 1903, is now gone – replaced with a condo building – but we know it to have been one of two built by William Manson for Wel-

lington Jeffers Harris – the first Reeve of Maple Ridge, an MLA, a diking commissioner, and a pioneering resident of Pitt Meadows.

One story tells us that, as a very young man, Harris was di-rected to Pitt Meadows by none other than Simon Fraser, who in retirement settled on land next to his family near Inger-soll, Ont. Fraser told him that one day a railway would push through the area and he would become wealthy if he invested in land in Pitt Meadows.

Harris took heed of the in-formation and arrived here in 1874, having preempted more than 147 acres of land through-out the highland area, including most along what would become Harris Road.

He farmed some, but held most on a speculative basis and did become a wealthy man from land sales and other ventures.

On that day so many years ago, our visitor was invited in to the house and given a tour. He was led upstairs to a large and grand meeting room and was told that, at one time, important people who made decisions about the community and area would meet in the room.

His attention was drawn to a very large and ornate table ca-pable of seating a group of these “important” people.

So ornate was the table, he remembers it to this day.

The table was eventually sold or given to someone living out in the Whonnock area and many years later he remembers seeing it rotting away on prop-erty out that way, a sad end to a table that graced the home of Wellington Jeffers Harris and may have been used for the first meetings of the group that came together to petition for incorporation of this commu-nity.

Harris passed away in 1919 and his wife, Mary Jane, fol-lowed him in 1937.

Their son Frank, a life-long bachelor, died in 1940, leaving no children to inherit the house or the table.

• Next time: What did our first council discuss at its first meeting?

Don’t forget to come in and talk to us about our “100th Anniversary Memory Band” project.

Your local Safeway store could be chang-ing, or it could just stay the same and keep operating with a new owner – Sobey’s of Nova Scotia,

The announcement came last week as Sobeys announced it was buying the chain for $5.8 billion.

Safeway has 213 stores across Canada.

The purchase could be a sign that Safeway is leaving an increas-ingly tough market as the super chains such as Wal-Mart and Tar-get move in to the food business, said market-ing professor Lindsay Meredith, at the Beedie School of Business at SFU.

“It’s a very nasty competitive arena out there.”

Sobeys, which also owns Thrifty Foods, hasn’t yet decided if it will keep the Safe-way name or reflag the stores under one of its brands.

Sobeys already has a presence in B.C. through its IGA and Thrifty Foods brands.

Adding Safeway’s 75 B.C. stores will give Sobeys 107 outlets in this province.

That compares to 101 for Overwaitea Food Group, 84 for Loblaws, 25 Wal-Marts and 14 Costcos.

Beedie said if Sobeys owns both Safeway and Thrifty, it could allow for harmonization of prices between Thrifty Foods in the down-town, and Safeway in west Maple Ridge.

But it’s possible some stores could close, if they’re cannibalizing each other, he added.

Meredith added that in suburban areas such as Maple Ridge, price is a major factor for younger shops, as op-posed to high-rise ar-eas, where there are many households with only one resident and where profit margins are healthier.

The arrival of Wal-Mart 20 years ago “shook up the whole market,” Meredith said.

“A lot of Canadian re-tailers suffered.”

The deal with Safe-way Inc. also includes numerous in-store pharmacies, gas sta-

tions, liquor stores and other distribution or manufacturing fa-cilities across western Canada.

The change of own-ership may also mean changing product lines for customers who continue to frequent the stores, as well as possibly different loy-alty card systems.

Both Sobeys and Safeway offer Air Miles reward points, but the new operators indi-cated they will move to eliminate separate loy-alty programs.

Big supermarket chains face growing competition as other retailers add groceries to their shelves.

“This is a significant and historic event for Sobeys, which has been proudly serving Cana-dian food shoppers for 106 years,” Empire president Paul Sobey said.

He called the acquisi-tion an “excellent stra-tegic fit” that strength-ens the chain presence in western Canada, and leverages its ex-isting assets to better compete.

Empire officials in-tend to sell off Safe-way stores’ real estate holdings and lease the properties back.

The planned purchase is subject to Competi-tion Bureau approval.

Not everyone’s likes the deal.

Some shoppers post-ing on Canada Safe-way’s Facebook page were critical of Sobeys, while others on Twitter doubt the takeout of a major grocery player will benefit consumers.

“Get ready for higher prices and less compe-tition,” tweeted Van-couver’s Pete Quily.

Keeping a Healthy Rhythm in CardiologyThe Royal Canadian Legion Branch #88 presented $15,000 from their

Poppy Fund to purchase a defibrillator for the cardiology department.

Technologists Leslie Widmer and Ray Grewal were grateful to have the

new defibrillator ready when it’s needed.

The two most common causes of sudden cardiac death are ventricular

fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Defibrillation, used to

deliver a dose of electrical current to the heart of a patient—allowing a

coordinated heart rhythm to return—is the most eff ective treatment.

$100,000 Pledge to Make a Diff erenceDrive for the Cure donated $25,000, their third pledge instalment, to

purchase equipment used for the early detection and treatment of cancer

at Ridge Meadows Hospital.

Drive for the Cure director and local realtor Rob Jeeves, Dr. Marni Heed,

patient Kelly Ferguson, and her husband Oliver enjoyed the annual DFC

golf tournament where Kelly shared the story of her cancer journey.

Ultrasound Gets a Better ViewThree new ultrasound probes were purchased with ‘From the Heart’ donations made at the 2012 Gala. A new general probe will ensure that all

four of our ultrasound suites are fully equipped and ready for our patients.

The new cardiac probe and paediatric probe are much smaller in size and

will provide accurate imaging in smaller situations.

These new probes will help to ensure precise images, which means accurate

diagnoses, which translates to better treatment plans for our patients.

2013 Biennale celebrates artists of the Fraser Valley

If the term biennale’ doesn’t immediately resonate with you, it’s probably time you

made a point of checking out the amazing array of artwork featured in the Fraser Valley Biennale, which opened Satur-day the Maple Ridge Art Gal-lery.

In the art world, a biennale is simply a show that occurs ev-ery two years.

Whether the show is interna-tional in scope or embraces a specific region like the Fraser Valley, it’s generally a display that celebrates diversity in ar-tistic style, focus and medium, as emerging and established artists share the spotlight in unusually close proximity.

The Fraser Valley Bien-nale is actually represented in four different public galler-ies, all offering their own im-pressive displays at different times throughout the spring and summer: The Reach Gal-lery, Abbotsford (July 11-Sept. 8); The Kariton Gallery, Ab-botsford (July 26-Aug. 20); the Mission Arts Centre (July

2–20), and the Maple Ridge Art Gallery (June 15-July 27).

“This is an exhibition where I set aside my own vision of cre-ating an all-embracing state-ment or theme to the exhibi-tion, and – believe it or not – I don’t find that easy,” says Maple Ridge Art Gallery curator, Bar-bara Duncan.

“But I think it’s refreshing sometimes, to simply select work that speaks to you purely from the point of each artist in the room – it’s a snap shot of what’s going on in the re-gion, and it demonstrates the remarkable range of artists we have working in the area.”

It is the second year Maple Ridge has hosted the exhibi-tion.

“If nothing else, this exhibi-tion demonstrates that the val-ley has attracted an extraordi-nary number of accomplished artists, some of them who are recognized in the larger urban centres and even the interna-tional stage, while others, for any number of reasons, create their art in relative obscurity,” Duncan added.

Marching with Ten Souljers

With a top hat on his head, Marty Robson looks the part of a circus ring master – a general set to march his troops into shape.

He admits he can sometimes be single-minded, but it's that focus that's propelled Ten Souljers to its status as a sought-after dance band.

"If you want to be successful," says Robson, "that's what you have to do."

Featuring three horn players, five vocalists and one of the best rhythm sections in Vancouver, Ten Souljers is a band with lots of soul.

Robson honed his musical and vocal skills with the U.K. cover band Rock the Monkey, but found it hard to give up the stage when he moved to Canada for love.

When he formed Ten Souljers in 2004, Robson made his ambitions clear to every musician and singer who signed up – he wanted the band to become the top events band in Canada and be-

yond.Robson believes he's achieved that with the

band's current line up, featuring himself, Karina Morrin and D'arcy Han on lead vocals; Scotty K. Jones on drums; Lee McDonough on guitar; Matt Reid on bass; Karlo Martin on keyboards; Jim 'The Reverend Hopper' Hopson on trombone; Anton Schamberger on tenor saxophone; and Malcolm Aiken on trumpet.

"I believe hand on heart that there is not a better band out there," he says.

"When we are cooking and our rhythm section is tight and those girls are singing to their full po-tential, I'm telling you it does not get any better."

Robson's managed to keep the 10-piece ensem-ble together for the past six years, an achievement in itself and one that's sewed together with a lot of hard-work.

Ten Souljers began as a soul and R&B out-fit, similar to The Commitments. Robson soon pushed the band to expand its repertoire to land them more work.

"If you pigeon hole yourself to one genre of mu-sic, you are not going to work a lot," says Robson, who runs his own company Vantastic Event En-tertainment.

Maple Ridge so-prano Arianna Ervin will per-

form this weekend in Georges Bizet’s French masterpiece Carmen presented by the UBC Opera Ensemble.

Set in 19th century Spain, Carmen tells the story of the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who is seduced by the wiles of the fiery gypsy, Carmen.

José abandons his childhood sweetheart and deserts from his military duties, yet loses Carmen’s love to the glamorous toreador, Es-camillo, after which José kills her in a jealous rage.

Carmen shocked its earliest audiences, but has since proven to be a masterpiece and a cor-nerstone of the operatic repertoire.

Ervin’s passion for op-era was ignited by her teachers at Maple Ridge secondary.

The 19-year-old had planned to study musical theatre but began to pur-sue a classical path after falling in love with the classical songs she sang with the school’s choir.

Ervin is now her sec-ond year of a music de-gree at the University of British Columbia and Carmen is one of her fa-vourite operas.

For this presentation, she is singing as part of Carmen’s chorus but hopes to one day play the role of Michaela, a village maiden.

Ervin will be join on stage by many other tal-ented singers who have come together from across Canada and the world to prepare this masterpiece for Vancou-ver.

All roles are double cast with Don José be-ing played by Wei-long

Tao and Kwangmin Brian Lee, Escamillo by José Ramirez and Kyle Lehmann, Micaëla by Natascia Dell’erba and Bahareh Poureslami, and the title role of Carmen being played by Franc-esca Corrado and Emma Parkinson.

Parkinson joins the UBC Opera Ensemble from recently com-pleting L’Atelier Opera Lyrique Young Artist Program in Montreal and Corrado just com-pleted her first year in the UBC Opera Masters Program.

“It is empowering to portray such a strong and vivid heroine on-stage,” says Corrado.

“I feel there is a little piece of Carmen in ev-ery woman. The bold, confident seductress of Carmen’s character in Bizet’s musical language will be brought to life by maestro Leslie Dala. I have had the wonderful opportunity of working with Maestro Dala be-fore, and I look forward to continuing to learn

from him.”The music of Carmen

has been widely ac-claimed for its brilliance of melody, harmony, at-mosphere, and orches-tration, and for the skill with which Bizet repre-sents musically the emo-tions and suffering of his characters.

The magnificent set, is designed by UBC The-atre alumna Carolyn Ra-panos and accompanied by beautifully crafted media screen projec-tions by Renee Liu. Jer-emy Baxter once again illuminates the fabulous opera with his exquisite lighting design.

From contemporary hits by Flo-Rida, Pit Bull and the Black Eye Peas and rock an-thems by AC/DC, Kiss and The Kings of Leons to old classic by Neil Diamond and Tina Turner, The Ten Souljers have no trouble get a roomful of people – of any age – on their feet.

Robson always has his ears tuned for the next big hit. He admits it took a little con-vincing to get jazz and rock musicians to try Top 40 fare.

He’s promised he’ll never make them sing any songs by Pink or Katy Perry.

“That’s just a step too far,” he says with a laugh.

Being a band leader is being a good man-ager, a good listener and at times an expert juggler. He can shrink the band down to a jazz trio, a background quartet, a six piece or nine piece.

“All musicians are passionate it’s just how you channel that,” he says.

With an infectious stage presence and loads of talent, Ten Souljers have no trouble booking gigs. Their client list includes some of the biggest corporate names in B.C. and it’s ever-growing.

Robson, however, makes sure the band gives back.

For the past four years, the band has played at the Ride to Conquer Cancer.

In February, Ten Souljers played a gig for B.C. Children’s Hospital, where Robson was the key note speaker. His speech about his three-year-old daughter Kaija Mae’s life-saving intestinal surgery hushed the room.

Guests initially donated $1.1 million but when the call-out for cash went out, B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation pulled in a record breaking $2 million.

That’s exactly why Robson and Ten

Souljer’s play charity gigs. He likes paying it forward.

“If you donate your time or reduce your fee, it will come back to you,” he says.

The band is booked to play in China this September by someone who heard them play at a fundraiser for the Royal Inland Hospital.

“It’s good for the soul. It’s karma,” Robson says.

Because I volunteer at an animal shelter, my home is always full of animals.

That is why when I tell people they should get a cat or a dog and they say, “Oh, I already have one.”

I can’t help but think, “One, just one?”For most people in my situation, having

one animal in the home is just not an option. Sometimes I think having one pet would be

a luxury. Most times, I can’t imagine not having a fur-

ry body covering almost every square inch of liveable space.

Most shelters will only adopt out kittens in pairs, unless you already have a feline or two in your home.

Research has shown that kittens thrive if they have a playmate to keep them occupied.

The same would be true for puppies, or any other social being.

Leaving any baby alone at home all day while you go to work just doesn’t give them the in-teraction they so desperately need when they are little.

Older animals also appreciate the company of other animals in the house.

Recently, on Youtube I found a series on ani-mals being interviewed about being an only pet. My favorite is a guinea pig who would like a pet turtle for a friend so he could watch him stick his head in and out all day long.

At the end of the clip the Guinea Pig simply says, “Being an only pet sucks”.

I would argue that, for the most part, this is true.

However, the number of pets you can have in your life depends on many factors, such as your lifestyle, the size of your home, and the other humans that inhabit it.

Overcrowding can be just as stressful as loneliness. Many cats, for example, are very territorial, and at Katie’s Place we have numer-ous cats who would do best in a one-cat home.

Multiple cats require multiple litters, mul-tiple sleeping quarters, and multiple feeding

stations. If you live in an apartment this may not be possible. Over the years I have figured out that my home is most comfortable with three cats. That is our ideal number, not the actual one.

While, for the most part, animals learn to co-exist and accept newcomers, it is always a good idea to think ahead and adopt more than one right away instead of trying to introduce new animals down the road.

So if you are going to your local shelter to bring home a new family member, consider bringing more than one.

This is not to say that you can’t add to your family over the years, but you have to realize this will require a bit of extra effort on your part.

Make sure you read up on introducing new pets to the existing ones before you bring a new pet home.

Take a look around your home. How many places do you have for a litter box? How many rooms are you willing to have animals in? Is there a space in the house you would prefer to have all to yourself, and if so can access to it be animal proofed? Can three dogs lounge easily in your living room, or would that pretty much require you to move all your furniture out?

Only you can determine how many animals can share your home without stepping on each other’s toes.

Be realistic.Too many animals lose their homes because

that one extra puppy or kitten just put the oth-ers over the edge.

Unfortunately, for the most part, it’s the old-timers that end up at our shelter, not the new additions.

On the other hand, keep in mind that ani-mals get lonely just like humans, and the com-pany of other animals can be just as rewarding for them as our company.

So find that ideal balance. One may not be enough, but eight can be too

many.

Danica Dutt of the 97 Rage takes a cut in a game against the 97 PoCo Ravens during the district playdowns tournament at the Albion Sportsfields in Maple Ridge on Sunday.


Anelise Leclair, shortstop for the 97 Rage, scoops up a one-hopper against the 97 PoCo Ravens on Sunday.

The Ridge Meadows Minor Softball As-sociation will be sending 14 teams to pro-vincial championship tournaments, after playing their way through the district play-downs here over the weekend.

“A couple of magic things came together over the weekend – the weather, and the play of the kids,” said local association presi-dent Brian Fewtrell.

Eight Ridge teams, ranging in age from U-12 to U-19, and at both the C and B levels qualified for provincials. They will be join-ing six A teams who were already on their way to provincials, and most of those tour-naments will be played out in July.

The Rage 2000 team, a group of 12 and 13-year-old girls, were the Cinderella Story of the tournament, as the team that came in with no expectations, but wound up winning their way to the provincials at the B level.

“There were ecstatic kids, jumping up and down and crying,” said Fewtrell.

Fewtrell expects his association’s teams to do well at provincials, as Ridge ball players generally take their share of the hardware handed out each summer.

In 2012 the association had four provin-cial medals, two gold, a silver and a bronze, and the Pride pee wee A team took bronze at the Western Canadian Championships.

The year before was even better, with a pee wee A team winning gold at Westerns, two gold, three silver and a bronze medal at the provincial level. And success comes to teams at every age level.

Fewtrell said the association is enjoying success because it accommodates players’ goals, whether they are just looking to play

recreational ball, or have decided to chase a fastball scholarship at a U.S. college.

“The ones who want to put the time in, who are really into it, we offer the programs they want,” he said.

The girls in Ridge Meadows softball gen-erally start young, have play at a competitive level all spring and summer, and then work-out indoors during the winter.

This is the time of year when coaches and organizers see if their on the right track.

“I’m hoping we will have quite a few champions.”

The teams that have won their way to the provincial championships:U18B Rage ‘95, Cordova Bay, July 19-21U19C Dynomite, N. Delta, July 5-7U16B Rage ‘97, Alberni Valley, July 19-21U16C Thunder, Chilliwack, July 5-7U14B Rage ‘99, Abbotsford, July 12-14U14B Rage ‘00, Abbotsford, July 12-14U14C Tigers, Newton, July 5-7U12B Rage ‘01, Sicamous, July 12-14The six A teams the association is sending:U18A Pride ‘96, Surrey, July 26-28U16A Pride ‘97/’98, Victoria, July 26-28U14A Pride ‘99, Maple Ridge, July 19-21U14A Pride ‘00, Maple Ridge, July 19-21U12A Pride ‘01, Maple Ridge, July 12-14U12A Pride ‘01, Maple Ridge, July 12-14

The Ridge Meadows Burrards Midget B lacrosse team struck gold in Kelowna last weekend.

The boys from the Ridge dominated the tournament with a 5-0 record, and scored a combined 42 goals in the five games, while the goaltending duo of Adam Bennett and Nick Heron allowed just five goals between through the tourney.

The Burrards faced teams from Kelowna, Penticton, North Okan-agan and West Koote-nay.

Game MVPs were Josh Wandler, Nick Heron, Matt Kurylyk, Emmett Clayton and Kyle Boyd, although any one of the players could have got the honours.

The Maple Ridge Bur-rards have lost three of their last four games, slipped to third place in the Western Lacrosse As-sociation, and next face the toughest team in the league as they try to get back on track.

With a loss against the first-place Victoria Shamrocks on Sunday, a once-promising season could slip into medioc-rity at 5-5. A win against the league’s top team, with a 6-2 record, would make a statement that the Burrards’ are legit, and worthy of the early-season kudos, which in-cluded a No. 2 spot in the Lacrosse Talk National Rankings.

The Shamrocks blasted the Burrards 14-9 in Vic-toria on Friday.

Corey Small, the Ed-monton Rush sniper who has led the Shamrocks in scoring for the past two seasons, lit up Ridge for

seven goals, and added three assists. The ’Rocks welted Burrards goalten-der Christ Levis for 69 shots, and Small had 19 of those. The Burrards had 42 shots.

Burrard Curtis Dick-son, the league scoring leader, had four goals and two assists in the game, and team captain Jarrett Davis had five assists. Andrew Murphy had a goal and two assists, and

Riley Loewen scored twice.

Then on Sunday night, the Burrards lost to the Burnaby Lakers 11-7 at home.

The Lakers had won three straight games, in-cluding victories over the first-place Sham-rocks and second-place Langley Thunder. They jumped the Burrards for three quick goals, took a 5-1 lead after the first pe-

riod and never let Ridge up off the floor. Scott Jones scored three goals and had five assists for Burnaby.

Dickson had his first scoreless game of the season, but tallied four assists.

The Burrard’s first-round draft pick out of Coquitlam Junior A, Ben McIntosh, scored three times. Brandon Bertoia had a goal and two as-

sists, and Riley Loewen.Ben Davies also scored.
