A warrant has been issued for a young man wanted for a series of mail thefts in Pitt Meadows. Ridge Meadows RCMP named Brandon Russell Cumming-Hobson as a person of interest Friday Cumming-Hobson afternoon, alleging the 21-year-old is responsible for breaking into Canada Post mailboxes in the community. “We are very concerned about Brandon Cumming-Hobson having an arrest warrant, and believed to be in our community,” said Insp. Dave Fleugel. “We have ensured all of our officers are aware of this warrant, and have asked them to be diligent in getting him back into custody as soon as possible.” see Warrant, p14

people. But Lake did not flinch at the suggestion that the high profile government attention to Maple Ridge might be seen as campaigning, coming just eight days before the election is officially called on April 16. “Government goes on until the writ drops,” he said. “We would be announcing this any time. We tell people what we’re doing, whether there’s an election or not.” “There have been funding announcements throughout the four years I have been here,” echoed

Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton. Speaking from a podium in the parking lot of the day use area, they told about 20 people assembled that the province’s parks receive approximately 20 million visits per year, and approximately 615,000 of those are to Golden Ears. The hiking trails at the park will be rehabilitated and repaired over the next three years, and some $150,000 will be spent replacing a bridge. “And thanks to Premier Clark, they don’t have to pay to use the

day use facilities,” said Lake. Members of the Haney Horsemen and the Ridge Meadows Outdoor Club, who have blazed many of the parks trails, were on hand to hear the announcement. Bill Archibald, trail boss of the Haney Horsemen, estimates the club has cut about 55 km worth of trails in the park, and they are now maintained by the province. Dalton said the funding announcement followed one for a new observatory in Mission, at Fraser River Heritage Park. see Trails, p14

ada because there are so many restrictions.” That will require some money, which Tornado tried to acquire on a recent episode of CBC’s Dragons’ Den. Habermann was asking for a million dollars in exchange for giving up a 10-per-cent share of his company. The Dragons didn’t like that deal and countered with a million dollars for a quarter of the ownership of the company.

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

chance encounter with a bear in the woods has led a Maple Ridge man to a new career making millions. Sven Habermann was deer hunting near Cache Creek in 2008 when he surprised a black bear. The animal charged directly at the hunter, who reached for his clumsy spray cartridge in attempt to blast the animal. Fortunately, the bear was only trying to get away and brushed Habermann as he ran by. Habermann survived, no thanks to the pepper spray, discovering later that the safety catch was on and he had it pointed the wrong way. “Had there been an attack, I wouldn’t have been able to defend myself.” He went home, did some research, found many encounters ended the same way, and thought there must be a better way. What he invented as a result has changed his life. Thanks to help from a local engineering company, ByMethod Design in Burnaby, Habermann, a former professional soccer player and car salesman, created Tornado Personal Defense Systems pepper spray device, which can be fitted in a small waist holster. Months later emerged the Tornado Personal Defense Systems pepper spray device, a compact gizmo that fits on a belt, in a car, on a bicycle or arm band and blasts out a strobe light and alarm. As a final defence, it sprays excruciating and disabling pepper in less than a second. The design ensures that when it’s removed from its holster, it’s automatically locks on to the hand, pointed in the right direction. Clients in the biggest market in the world like what they see. Walmart and Costco are selling the

wanted to buy Tornado outright, but he didn’t want to sell. “I invented the product and I’m not moving to the U.S.,” he says. “As soon as we got their name, our sales went through the roof.” Recent development of a stun gun by Tornado and

licensed by Ruger will spike sales again, he added. The stun gun delivers an electrical charge on contact. “It’s going to blow those other numbers right out of the water.” Although the triggerhappy U.S. remains the No. 1 market, Tornado has moved into South Africa, Puerto Rico, Namibia, Peru, Ecuador, France, Philippines and Poland. “The states has 10 times our population and no restrictions.” Canada, though, remains a challenge. Because the Tornado only carries 11 grams of pepper spray, it’s classified as a concealed weapon. Therefore, Tornado will have to design a larger device that carries 20 grams or more and won’t be considered a concealed weapon. “We’re not legal in Can-

Habermann agreed to that when the show was taped last May, but his board of directors later nixed the offer. So developing a device that will be legal in Canada will have to wait until there’s cash to do so. The Dragons focus too much on the numbers and not necessarily the potential of a company, Habermann said. He described the experience, which took about 45 minutes of bargaining with only five minutes of that aired, as the “freakiest thing I have ever done. “In hindsight, it was a lot of fun. Those guys are sharp.” In the meantime, Tornado will continue with its model of manufacturing in China and distributing and assembling in the U.S., where the company employs about 80 people. Only two people run the Maple Ridge office. For any other would-be inventors who have a great idea they’ve been nursing, Habermann offers some advice: run your idea past some strangers, not families or friends, to get some honest opinions. Then, “If it’s a good idea, strap on your boots, because it’s a heck of a journey.”

Heavyweights help food bank by Phil Mel nyc huk staff reporter

It’s a familiar pattern for the volunteers at the Friends in Need Food Bank – the Christmas rush comes, people give tonnes of food and piles of cash, allowing the food bank to build up its reserves for the coming year. But when those reserves run down, the stress level runs up for those trying to find enough food and cash to fill the monthly hampers that feed the hungry. Lately, though, some major corporate help is making it easier for the food bank. “They’re very much coming on board,” said Mary Robson, acting executive-director for the food bank. “They’re really stepping up. These promotions that some of these corporations are doing are huge.” For the last three years, The Share Program has made a big difference. Thrifty Foods, Market Place IGA, Coopers and Safeway are all part of the program, in which shoppers can buy a $2 “share coupon” when they’re paying for their groceries. Those coupons are

regularly collected by the food bank from each of the stores, then used to buy food stuffs as needed. For example, recently the food bank ran out of tomato sauce and chunky soups. Thanks to the program staff were able to hunt around for the best deal and replenish supplies. “We haven’t yet had to go into our cash reserves because of the Share Program,” Robson said. Because of the success of Share, the society recently approved giving out milk and eggs twice a month to families and seniors. “We wouldn’t be able to do that if the Share program wasn’t successful.” Normally, the food bank gives out a hamper or bag of groceries every month, while providing some extras, such as meat, fruit or bread once a week, depending on availability. Other programs help too. Save-on Foods and Campbell Company of Canada are cooperating on the Help Hunger Disappear program, now in its sixth year. Campbell’s products are discounted by $1, while Campbell’s will make cash donations.

There is also Envision Financial’s, The Full Cupboard program, in which the credit union will raise $1 million for local food banks over the next decade. To kick-off the program, Envision Financial is making a $5,000 donation to Food Banks B.C. and $1,000 donations to each of the 11 food banks in the 10 communities where the credit union operates – resulting in a total investment of $16,000. Mark’s and Westminster Savings are two of the other major corporate donors noted on the food bank’s website, while the new Target store will also be helping out. While there’s no sudden panic in the number of people needing food, the recent number of now more than 700 registrants, provided to Food Bank Canada, shows a steady increase. “When I see young families coming in with children … how can this be? What’s wrong with our society that they have to rely on the food bank. It’s just the cost of living, families on welfare ... ” Friends in Need has more than 60 volunteers and 1.5 paid staff.

Keeping drunk drivers off B.C. roads Seven officers nabbed 265 impaired drivers in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

Ridge Meadows Mounties who took more than 200 drunk drivers off the road in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows last year have been honoured as members of Alexa’s Team. On Thursday, the BCAA Road Safety Foundation, ICBC and the Middelaer family thanked the seven police officers for being among the top impaired driving investigators in the province. The Ridge Meadows RCMP officers took a total of 265 impaired drivers off the road in 2012. The hard-working officers and strict drunk driving laws are being credited for a dramatic decline in impaired driving across B.C., where from im-

paired driving fatalities dropped from 126 in 2010 to 73 in 2011. Preliminary data for 2012 shows a historic low of 59. Preliminary RCMP data for 2012 also indicates that the number of impaired drivers on the road has significantly decreased with fewer drivers being charged. Combined with the reduction in fatalities, the data suggests that public attitudes and behaviours are changing significantly when it comes to impaired driving. “The recent drop in impaired-related motor vehicle fatalities is the good news story,” said Insp. Ted Emanuels, the officer in charge of the RCMP’s Lower Mainland District Traffic Services. “In 2011 and 2012, 120 people were not killed by impaired driv-

ing and 120 families were not devastated for life.” Alexa’s Team formed in memory of Alexa Middelaer, who was killed by an drunk driver in Ladner when she was only four years old. The team has grown over the past five years from 26 members to more than 1,000. “As a family, we are heartened to see that there has been a significant decrease in the number of people injured and killed by impaired drivers over this past year,” said Laurel Middelaer, Alexa’s mother. “We know that the members of Alexa’s Team have served unwaveringly to make our communities safer. Improving public safety is a tangible difference that we can make to honour those who suffered loss on our roads.” Since 2008, Alexa’s Team members have processed 41,354 impaired driving charges or penalties against

drivers in violation of B.C.’s impaired driving laws. To be nominated for Alexa’s Team, police officers must have removed at least 12 impaired drivers from the road in the previous calendar year through a criminal charge investigation (for alcohol or drug impairment) or through an administrative driving prohibition (90-day immediate roadside prohibition or 90-day administrative driving prohibition).

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Buying our votes Last we checked, Easter had passed and spring was on its way. But you would be forgiven for thinking it’s Christmas because of all the goodies being handed out by the provincial government in the waning days of this parliamentary session. On Monday alone: the riding of Maple RidgeMission received $500,000 for upgrades in Golden Ears Provincial Park; the Surrey school district received $8.4-million for an addition to a high school on the same day; and $500,000 was invested to extend a mining and environmental training project; while $4.9 million went to extending a youth employment program. That’s all great news, but the timing of these announcements is so obvious as to stretch the credulity of even the most uninformed voter, and in the carbon tax press release, it wasn’t a specific ministry but rather the BC Liberal government caucus that released the information. Certainly it’s a time-honoured tradition for the governing party to use its control over the pursestrings to get important things done and then seek publicity for them. But when the efforts are all lumped together and offered as a package just before the election writ is dropped, the projects lose credibility. For example, if PoCoMo Youth Services Society needs and deserves stable, sustainable funding to keep its mobile out-reach service to at-risk youth on the road – which it does – why wasn’t this money found years ago? In the case of capital funding for schools, a new elementary school in Albion, as well as expansion of the current high school there have been top local priorities for years. Prospective Grade 8 students who wanted to go to Samuel Robertson Technical School have been turned away because it is too full. Both projects are in Liberal MLA Marc Dalton’s riding, which he won by a slim margin last election. So we can expect another funding announcement any day now? We love it when our hard-earned tax dollars are spent appropriately on worthwhile projects, but not when cash is shovelled out the doors of the legislature in the dying days of a government. A thoughtful review of this practice is necessary, but is likely a long-shot because vote buying has long been the practice and the prerogative of whatever party is in power when it’s time to vote. – Black Press

It’s still easy being Green – party VICTORIA –This is the first of a series of policy commentaries on the four main parties contesting the 2013 B.C. election. I’m starting with the B.C. Green Party, which has higher than usual hopes for the 2013 election. It was also the first to put out a substantial B.C. Views Tom Fletcher policy document, albeit one that is still being debated and altered. Green Book 2013 continues the Utopian positions that only a party with no chance of forming a government has the luxury to put forward. For example, they would double the area of parks in B.C., but take 100 years to do it. Immediately, they would almost double the carbon tax, taking it from seven to 12 cents on a litre of gasoline. Greens would extend this steeply increased carbon tax to industries such as natural gas and cement production. Leader Jane Sterk told me she expects cement producers and the like to adapt, rather than shut down as their competitive position erodes. And what about the extra billions in carbon tax revenues? Sterk says most should continue to go to income tax reductions, as is now the case, because the purpose is to change consumption patterns, not to increase overall tax revenue. Most, but not all. “We think there is an argument to be

made for putting, for a period of time, the increased revenue from the carbon tax into creating the infrastructure that allows people to benefit from a carbon tax,” Sterk said. That means transit, and potentially retrofits of homes and other buildings as well. Tax increase aside, this is essentially the NDP position too. The Greens emphasize wind and geothermal power. Sterk faces the awkward task of arguing against hydroelectric expansion. A Green government would cancel the Site C dam project on the Peace River. Sterk says it would only serve as a subsidy to liquefied natural gas exports, which she doesn’t believe materialize as international competitors develop. The Greens’ star candidate, University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, agrees. Both point to vast reserves of Russian gas that may well get to Asia more quickly and cheaply. Sterk said the 35,000 existing gas wells in northern B.C. “are not going to be shut down.” Actually, in the absence of LNG exports, that is exactly what would happen to many of them. The U.S. has its own shale gas supplies, and is B.C.’s only current export customer. Converting transport trucks and B.C. Ferries to LNG fuel isn’t going to maintain the vast industry blooming in northern B.C. The official Green Party position is to place a moratorium on B.C. gas drilling while a comprehensive water use policy is developed. Current innovations such as reusing municipal wastewater are ignored.

The Green platform also demands disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, which the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission has already done. If one were to design a self-fulfilling prophecy that B.C.’s LNG project is doomed to fail, the Green Party platform would be a good place to start. Reading through Green Book 2013, I’m left with the impression that much of it remains calculated as a soothing message for urban voters who have been convinced it’s courageous to drive their cars down to an anti-tanker protest.

“If Weaver, Sterk or any other Greens get elected, it will be surfing a wave of protest votes from people weary of the B.C. Liberals and the NDP.” If Weaver, Sterk or any other Greens get elected, it will be surfing a wave of protest votes from people weary of the B.C. Liberals and the NDP. It will not be due to the practicality or even internal consistency of their polices. It’s still pretty easy being Green.

The News/letters online comments Preserve sanity . Rick Higgs: Re: Time is up for Maple Ridge municipal golf course. Wow, let’s sacrifice another bit of marvelous green space for real estate developers, builders, salesmen because the only view of land is, ‘What can we make off it.’ We need green spaces to preserve human sanity in an increasingly populous Lower Mainland. New York would never sacrifice Central Park nor London Hyde Park. Why should Maple Ridge destroy a treasure whose true value as green open space will be increasingly appreciated with the passage of time?

Qualifying round • Claus Andrup · OHG Resources Inc.: Re: Time is up for Maple Ridge municipal golf course. Given that this golf course, charming as it is, falls well within the ‘built envelope’, it presents fair game to the development community. Rick Higgs makes a good point. That said, I’d rather see a full-on upscale development at the Maple Ridge golf course than the blatant destruction of green space to the east of Maple Ridge in the Albion area. Maple Ridge grows despite itself. Rather the growth be contained within the existing built area than beyond it. The golf course qualifies.

B.C. Liberals calling from Nova Scotia T

he provincialelection campaign officially begins next week, when the chief electoral officer issues the writ on Tuesday, April 16. From there, it is 28 days of candidates in 85 ridings across B.C. working to convince voters to support them. Of course, the campaign Commentary to win on May 14 began Chris Foulds long ago provincially and in the two Kamloops constituencies. Nobody has been campaigning longer, or with as large a profile, than Todd Stone, the B.C. Liberal candidate in Kamloops-South Thompson. Stone succeeds Kevin Krueger as the Liberal candidate in the bellwether riding, which has never elected a non-government MLA. His face has been prominent on buses and Stone has already spoken at a number of events. He is on Facebook and Twitter and has already hosted the premier. (Maple Ridge hosted the premier two weeks ago, and a minister on Monday). Last weekend, Stone reached out the oldschool way, via the landline telephone by way of the Maritimes. The phone rang in my home and I did not recognize the number on the display. It had a 604 prefix, which made it a Lower Mainland number.

However, the voice on the other end was that of a woman in Nova Scotia, an employee of a survey company calling on behalf of Stone. She wanted to know if I would support Stone (I don’t vote in my capacity as a journalist, I told her) and if there were any thoughts I had on Stone, the Liberals and the election. I told her what I have been told over and over and over from many Kamloops residents since Stone was acclaimed as candidate – good candidate, wrong party. That could mean “wrong party” in the sense Stone would have a better chance running under a different political flag, based on pure strategy. It could mean “wrong party” in the sense Stone has latched on to a party that, due to perceived (HST) and real misdeeds (B.C. Rail trial payout to guilty parties), there should be an onus on the candidate to avoid representing such a tainted brand. The Nova Scotia pollster asked if I had any opinions on what the Liberals should be doing. The answer to that is about as obvious as the sun rising in the east – forget the crap that has hobbled the party to the point of catastrophe and begin the renewal process. And, any such renewal process will have nothing to do with changing the name of the party. It matters not what one calls the entity, for it will always be the coalition of all things not NDP. After all, the B.C. Liberal Party is simply the new name for the Social Credit Party of days gone by.

The latest polls offer only more bad news for the governing party, with the numbers pointing to a move to the opposition benches – if such polls are to be believed. (Recall polls in the last elections in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec and proceed very carefully). There really isn’t much any of the new Liberal candidates can say about the tumultuous past of the party they are promoting. They had nothing to do with any of the decisions that hampered former premier Gordon Campbell and now haunt Premier Christy Clark. If the lady with the questions from Nova Scotia is still listening, here’s what I think: Like NDP candidates in 2001 and Social Credit flag-bearers in 1991, this year’s crop of Liberals could be facing a dinosaur-like political reckoning. It is of no use to them to continually be drawn into debates on what happened and why. Those fortunate enough to not be linked to the current and past administrations must focus repeatedly on local issues, find and hammer home the good (and, despite the controversies, the B.C. Liberals have done a lot of good work in Kamloops) and work hard at shutting out the incessant gloom and doom being served up at the provincial level. Chances are, they are running for second and this is but one step in a long journey back.

Maple Ridge’s new transportation plan features several key road-widening projects, as well as an overpass in Albion. initely in place.” TransLink’s own longterm plan also identifies a RapidBus route along Lougheed Highway to connect with the Evergreen Light Rail line in Coquitlam. Five years ago, Maple Ridge also envisioned a light rail line along Lougheed Highway to the downtown. Quinn agreed with Hogarth’s questioning of the possible goals in the plan – extending 124th Avenue east to 256th Street to provide another route for gravel trucks from the pits at the north end of 256th Street. The plan says that road could be either two or four lanes. Connecting the avenue would mean pushing a road through residential lots in the Agricultural Land Reserve, said Hogarth. “You’re talking about adding 156 properties that front all that right of ways and [we’re] saying,

‘Guess what, folks, you’re going to have all that traffic … ’ “To me, it’s a $40-million faux pas.” Instead, he wants Dewdney Trunk Road improved to better handle increased traffic, an idea which is partly supported by a goal calling for four-laning of Dewdney Trunk from 240th to 248th Street. He also questioned the emphasis on roads going east-west and said instead that roads running north-south should be considered. He’s not sure if he accepted the fact that we have “this mass exodus every day,” and said that transportation efficiencies can be used to pay to get bus service in Silver Valley. Coun. Mike Morden wanted a connection to 256th Street, and Quinn assured him, that is in the transportation plan. Steiner said the demand for bus transit service in Maple Ridge is not

keeping up with demand and that better connections to Vancouver are needed. He also said the West Coast Express commuter rail service, which runs five times during each rush hour, is over crowded. Quinn added the best option for dealing with east-west transportation is to lobby TransLink to improve West Coast Express service. Coun. Cheryl Ashlie, though asked if there shouldn’t be a new way of financing transportation projects. That component should be in the new plan, “because without that strategy it just sits there,” Quinn said. Council heard that the greatest transportation pressure is on 128th Avenue, between 210th and 224th streets. Staff are negotiating with land owners to secure right of ways in order to widen the road to four lanes and will report to council in a few weeks. The transportation plan will be unveiled at a public open house in May. Steiner listed a few major projects that could be part of the new road plan: • widening Haney Bypass and Lougheed Highway, between 272nd and 287th streets; • widening Dewdney Trunk Road from 240th to 248th streets; • extending 240th Street north to connect to Silver Valley; • building an overpass to provide another road connection to Albion Industrial Area, south of the Lougheed Highway; • widening 232nd Street to provide access to Silver Valley; • building an east-west connection in Thornhill between 108th and 112th avenues. • currently there are 30 kilometres of bike paths. The long-term goal is 115 km.

Kids walk the beat as RCMP Spur Open house Thursday at THSS by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

Being a police officer is much more than donning a uniform and carrying a gun. These days, a cop is a crime solver, peace maker, a social worker and sometimes a super hero. “It’s wide open,” says Const. Tammy Herman, who is set to kickstart Ridge Meadows RCMP Spurs, a program for youth between the ages of 14 and 18 who are interested in pursuing a career in policing. Over 30 weeks, students who sign up for Spurs will be introduced to different aspects of policing, from forensics and the RCMP dive team to traffic enforcement and walking the beat. “What we are trying to do is pique the interest in kids who were thinking about law enforcement but don’t know where to go with it,” says Herman.

Students will spend an evening with the emergency response team, the RCMP helicopter, learn about the criminal code and even visit court. Dressed in their own uniforms, the Spurs will also march alongside Mounties during the Remembrance Day parade and volunteer with the RCMP Musical Ride when it visits Maple Ridge in September. “I also want to bring in what the kids are dealing with on a day to day basis,” says Herman, adding that students will learn about bullying, sexting and the graduating licensing program. Herman says police want to spark an interest in students who may not have considered a career in policing as well. “So much of our stuff now is about science and computers,” she adds. “We want to reach out to those kids who maybe aren’t the football all-star and top cheerleader. We are looking for kids who can think outside the box

and looking for some avenue to direct their studies.” Spurs participants will do 100 hours of community, spend a day at the Vancouver Police Museum learning about forensics and walk the beat with a cop in the Downtown Eastside as well as learn what it’s like to work with the homeless in Maple Ridge. Unlike the Youth Police Academy, the Spurs program aims to show students that a law enforcement career doesn’t mean you only have to become a police officer. You can be a sheriff, a border guard or work as a crime analyst. Herman wants the students to know that the choices they make as a teenager will affect their future as a police officer. “A lot of kids think it’s their juvenile record and it won’t come up as an adult. Well, it does,” she says. “Even though they may not have a criminal record, they still have to be accountable for their actions. I have so many kids come

to me wanting to be a volunteer or join a program and I have to turn them down because I can’t pass their security clearance.”

“It’s about tourism, trails, getting outside and healthy living,” said Dalton. The man who will oppose him in the Maple Ridge-Mission riding says it’s more about trying to win an election when the Liberal Party is trailing in the polls. “An election is in the air,” said NDP candidate Mike Bocking. He said it is good to have $500,000 for Golden Ears. “The overall care and maintenance of the park has fallen sig-

nificantly from where it should be.” However, “It’s shortsighted, because parks are a big part of the tourism economy.” He said the B.C. Liberals are still in power for a few days, and he expects there to be more money promised. “I don’t think anyone is fooled by these lastminute funding announcements,” Bocking adding. “People are just waiting for May 14 to render their verdict – that’s what I’m hearing at the doorstep.”

Today, many people prefer a memory foam mattress for its pressure-relieving comfort, ability to conform and adapt to each person’s body, and outstanding motion isolation. Even so, traditional memory foam technology hasn’t changed much since it was invented more than 40 years ago. While it can provide great comfort to many, others find that memory foam mattresses can sleep too hot, sink in too deeply, or make it hard to adjust sleep position in the night. Isn’t it about time that someone reinvented memory foam?

Ali Watson as Mrs. Boyle and Jordan Crocker as Christopher Wren in a scene from The Mousetrap. Lauren MacInnis (Mollie), Dylan Johnston (Giles), Larissa Galloway (Miss Casewell), Malcolm Upton (Det. Trotter) and Brett Almond (Major Metcalf) rehearse a scene from Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, which opens at SRT April 17.

ust imagine being trapped in a hotel with a bunch of strangers, with a snow storm blowing outside and a killer on the lose. For Larrisa Galloway, it’s clearly unnerving. “I was really into Nancy Drew when I was younger,” says Galloway, who appreciates the twists and turns, surprises and suspense in Agatha Christies’ The Mousetrap, which opens next week at Samuel Robertson Technical School. As Miss Casewell in The Mousetrap, the Grade 12 student is savouring the chance to be wrapped up in mystery.

Colleen Flanagan/the news

Brett Almond as Major Metcalf and Allemande Berryman as Mrs. Boyle in The Mousetrap.

“I think it’s pretty cool that we get to be someone else,” says Galloway, who signed up for drama for the first time this year so she could experience everything high school has

to offer before she heads off to university. She’s one of three Grade 12 drama neophytes in the play. A curious mixture of 1950s drawing-room comedy and murder mystery, The Mousetrap is the world’s longest running play, still playing in London’s West End, where it had for more than 60 years. When a group of strangers are trapped together at Monkswell Manor during a snowstorm, they soon discover one of them is a murderer. Is it the newlyweds? It could be the architect, the retired army major or maybe the odd man who claims his car overturned in a snowdrift? Maybe it’s the spinster with the dubious background, Miss Casewell. Galloway loves that the play keeps you guessing till the end. “That’s the best part about it,” she says.

“There’s a twist at the end and no one sees it coming.” Miss Casewell is a young woman who is masculine in appearance and with a masculine voice. She claims not to have lived in England for some years, since she was 12 to 13 years old, but remains equally mysterious about where she does live now when asked. Mastering a British accent with a masculine voice has been a little taxing for Galloway. “I just try to imagine what she’s like in my head,” says Galloway. “I see this gruff, manly woman who doesn’t care for anyone else.” Unlike his class mate, Dylan Johnson has been an avid thespian since Grade 8. This year, he plays Giles Ralston, who runs Monkswell Manor with his wife Mollie. “Giles is just your regular husband,” says Johnson. see Mousetrap, p16

experience the way of tea in Maple Ridge see a traditional Japanese tea at the art gallery April 21 With the magic of the cherry blossom season suddenly upon us, what better way to learn more about traditional Japanese culture that to experience the Japanese tea ceremony, or Way of Tea. The Maple Ridge Art Gallery has teamed up with Vancouver’s Nikkei Cultural Centre to bring a trained volunteer to host the ceremony April 21. In addition to the formal preparation of tea for such an occasion, the host will demonstrate the minutely detailed presentation that accompanies the offering of ‘matcha’ tea, a thick green tea comprised of finely ground leaves. Special

utensils are used according to the rules of the ceremony, traditional training for which can take up to 10 years. The Way of Tea has long been associated with the origins of Zen Buddhism. While green tea was used for centuries for medicinal purposes, it was not until the 12th century that a famous Zen priest began introduced the notion of using tea for religious purposes. Even today, this essentially secular cultural ritual is always done in an atmosphere of peace, sharing and goodwill. Set within the serene context of Keith and Celia Rice-Jones exhibition of pottery and sculpture, the event promises to be a rich cultural experience in an atmosphere of calm and well being.

The event also coincides with the seventh annual Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival, which celebrates the return of spring to the city and the blossoming of Vancouver’s 55 different varieties of cherry trees from April 4 to 30. Inspired by the age old Sakura festivals of Japan, the festival uplifts spirits in the city, while the ephemeral nature of the blossoms remind us all to take time now to celebrate life. For events, visit vcbf.ca.

Tea time way of tea takes place at 11:15 a.m. on sunday, April 21. seating is limited and the gallery recommends early registration to avoid disappointment. tickets are $5. to register, call the gallery at 604476-2787 or visit the ACt ticket centre.

“He’s not the most interesting of all the characters since most of them are kind of eccentric. I’m just there protecting my wife.” But pretending to be a married couple isn’t as easy as it looks. Johnson admits he’s still trying to overcome his inherent awkwardness. Showing affection is not my strong suit, says Johnson. “I’ve never been married,” he adds, with a nervous laugh.

The News/sports Mud-spattered riders brave Roubaix Section coordinator: Neil Corbett 604-467-1122 ext. 216

newsroom@mapleridgenews.com

Annual Barry’s Roubaix cycle race attracts 140 competitors on Sunday by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

overed in a layer of mud, and using their water bottles to rinse their eyes and faces, some 140 cyclists braved the Barry’s Roubaix on Sunday. European cycling’s 100-year-old Paris-Roubaix is famous for rough terrain, cobblestone streets and high winds, and inspired a film called “A Sunday in Hell.” So, they almost wanted a tough local race, says organizer Barry Lyster, half the race’s namesake and owner of the Local Ride Bike Shop. The local course is a 10-kilometre loop that follows Pitt Meadows dikes and gravel rural roads. The cyclists all stay in a pack, and their wheels send up an unrelenting mist of watery mud. “They were mud head to toe, it was unbelievable.” Some were so painted in grime that the photo finishes did not reveal numbers or even team jerseys. Recognizing faces was hopeless. “But the racers were stoked, and road riders are pretty tough,” said Lyster. “They love it. They eat it up.” This was his fourth annual race, and this weekend he started it with an additional Saturday time trial – bikers racing against the clock, leaving in one-minute intervals. Lyster said he knew riders were coming from Vancouver Island and the Interior for Sunday’s race, so he came up with the additional Saturday event to make sure they had a good weekend of cycling. There were 65 riders who entered the event. Lyster was encouraged by the participation in the event. “You can see there’s new growth back into road racing. In the Category 1/2 men class Greg Christian of the Garneau-Evolution team finished 12 laps of the course (120km) in a time of 2:42.23, narrowly beat Curtis Dearden of Russ Hay Accent Inns. Leah Kirchmann of Optum won women’s Cat 1/2/3, finishing nine laps in 2:42.33. Michael Wagner of the C4 team won Cat 3 men with a time of 2:26.49 over eight laps. Anika Todd of Triple Shot Cycling won Cat 3/4 women with a time of 1:40.22 over six laps. Alex Dove of Lynn Valley Bikes won the Cat 4 men with a time of 1:31.52 for six laps. The Novice class was won by Troy Neal of Westwood Cycle for his time of 1:08.30 over four laps. Ethan Pauly of Tripleshot Cycling won the under-17 class for finishing two laps in 35:35. In the Pitt Polder Time Trial on Saturday, Dave Stephens of Team H&R Block was the fastest on the course overall, with a time of 14:19.40 to win Cat 1/2 men. Megan Wolfe won Cat 1/2/3 women with a time of 16:40.14, Richard Wooles of the Cycling B.C. team won the open men in 15:03.27, and Meghan Grand of Local Ride Racing won the Open Women class in a time of 17:30.26. “It’s a heck of a lot of work, but I’m fortunate that I’ve got good volunteers, shop staff and team riders to help pull this off,” said Lyster. He said municipal government also gets behind the race, knowing it is a good way to expose people to the natural beauty of the area. “Guaranteed they will be back, riding their bike, or bringing their families.”

The contingent of wrestlers from Maple Ridge Secondary walked out of the national championships in Saskatoon with medals swinging around their necks. Payten Smith easily won gold in her juvenile girls weight class, but saw her impressive shutout streak end. A run of two and a half years without anyone scoring a point on her came to a shocking close. Coach Bill McCrae said someone had obviously scouted Smith’s matches, and saw her affinity for the double leg takedown – a move that sees her rush in, grab the opponents legs, and slam the girl down on her back. But on that fateful point, as Smith moved in, her opponent countered the move by “jamming her

head,” said McCrae – she shoved Smith’s head down to the mat, got on her back, and secured a point. “She made the girl pay,” said McCrae, who said he could see in his wrestler’s face that the match would be over quickly. “I was a little worried for her opponent.” The Grade 11 easily won three matches to take the gold medal. She has won the provincial championship for two years, and in Grades 8 and 9 won silver. Shaimen Bhogal, a Grade 12 student who trains with the Abbotsford-based Hargo Binder club, and wrestles for his hometown Ramblers, won gold in the Greco-Roman style, in which wrestlers are not allowed to grab the legs. Grade 9 Cam Hicks won a Payten Smith bronze medal in the competitive 42 kg class, to add to his provincial silver. McCrae said Hicks has another year at the cadet level to try and win national gold, and has a bright future in high school wrestling. “He’s tenacious, hard working and dedicated.” The Ramblers travelled with Westview Wildcat Cody Osborn, who has won bronze medals at the provincials in each of the past two years in the crowded 60 kg weight class, but did not place at nationals. “He’s in Grade 11, so he’ll get another shot at it,” said McCrae. “Both he and Shaiman won four matches, but didn’t place (in freestyle wrestling).” McCrae’s daughter attends school in Port Moody, but also joined the Ramblers delegation. The Grade 10 won a bronze medal in her cadet class. McCrae said it was one of the Ramblers’ best-ever trips to the national championships. “If you get a chance to become a national champion, that’s huge.”

Ridge rugby gunning for first The Ridge Meadows men’s rugby team is making a serious charge for first place in their division. The squad knocked off previously undefeated Burnaby in convincing fashion, then beat first-place Abbotsford last Saturday in a come-frombehind victory 28-22. Down 12-0, the Ridge squad’s comeback was led by Dustin Fletcher, who

scored three tries, and the kicking of Miller Thind with four converts to secure the victory. Things don’t get any easier for the locals as they play the Rowing club on Saturday at Thomas Haney at 11:30 a.m. The ladies team will also battle Burnaby for first place also at Thomas Haney, starting at 10 a.m.

ith a year to go until this community’s 100th birthday, the Pitt Meadows Museum is already planning for the big day. Next month we will be launching our memory band project and are asking the citizens of Pitt Meadows to join in by helping us with the woodworking, the construction and the selection of the words, dates and phrases that will make up the band. What is a memory band? In short, it is a band constructed of wood and inscribed with one hundred words, dates and short phrases that are linked to the heritage of the community and with those words, dates, and short phrases linked back to an e-document with a description of their historical significance.

phrase and submit it to the museum along with a short description and the reason you think it is of historical significance to the community. Or, volunteer some time to help rout the words into the boards. All summer we will have routers and jigs set up at the Hoffmann and Son site of the museum and you don’t have to have your own word to work on the routing. By late fall we will be looking for help with the mounting of the band and also with the final development of the edocument. If you have the skills to help and would like to contribute something to the Pitt Meadows 100th birthday celebrations, we would truly appreciate your time and interest. The museum has applied to the province’s Creative Communities program for funding assistance with the project and the City of Pitt Meadows is also supporting the activity. The Pitt Meadows Museum will also be basing the next 12 months of our Looking Back contributions on historical events by decade leading up to the 100th birthday as well as on upcoming events that relate to the celebrations in general. Visit the museum on Facebook to keep up with our events and activities. Finally, the 100th anniversary core committee is now formed with representatives from the City of Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Parks and Leisure Services, the Pitt Meadows Museum, the Pitt Meadows Community Foundation, the Pitt Meadows Canada Day Society and the Pitt Meadows Day Society, and we will be looking for many volunteers throughout the year. Please give some thought to joining us. Leslie Norman, curator at Pitt Meadows Museum.

A message from the Presidents It has been an honour to be President of the Rotary Club of Meadow Ridge for the year ending this coming June, after having been a long-term Rotarian serving on several committees on the board as well as treasurer.

Lindsay Hendy President Meadow Ridge Rotary Club

Rotary is an incredible global organization of more than 1.2 million business men and women whose purpose is “Service above Self.” Our very own small club of approximately 35 members has been helping in this purpose locally in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, raising funds and supporting the growth of sports infrastructure, supporting youth with scholarship bursaries, sending candidates to youth leadership programs and assisting youth groups in their own fundraising through our now annual Duck Race event (in partnership with our sister club the Rotary Club of Haney), and supporting many other local events and projects.

We have also helped on the international scene over the years, sending funds and/or equipment as needed in support of disasters, or worthwhile projects around the world, often coordinated with other Rotary clubs and Rotary International. We are currently helping young children in Nunavut by partnering with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program, where young children receive a new book each month until they are 5 years old, to introduce them to reading prior to entering the school system.

100 Years of

Awesomeness We congratulate Rotary Clubs in British Columbia for a century of great work – benefiting local communities and global interests alike. Our own local clubs are also robust and active. The Haney Rotary Club celebrates 60 years and the Meadowridge Rotary Club marks their 25th year. Rotarians spread goodness and we think that’s awesome. We are proud to stand among you.

Our club meets every Tuesday at 12:00 noon at the Bella Vita Restaurant located at 22471 Lougheed Highway, Maple Ridge, and we would love to have you visit us for our lunch meeting. We welcome guests to arrive a few minutes early to take advantage of networking with our members. More information about our Club can be found at www.meadowridgerotary.ca.

difference” in our communities, with people and around the world. As a service organization we connect as people through fellowship; raise funds through our various fundraising events and club activities to help others. Our Wednesday meetings are more like family dinners surrounded by inspiring leaders and conversation that leads to transformational change.

Keesha Rosari

Rotary has helped to revitalize our community connections through key fundraising events including our Ladies Night, Men’s Night, Golf Tournament, and Duck Race. Our motto is “Service Above Self” and there are many of you who already demonstrate this in your daily lives. Maybe you commute for work but need a connection to your own community of Maple Ridge and Pitt meadows. President Haney Rotary Club

Our community boasts two Rotary Clubs - Meadow Ridge and Haney. The Rotary Club of Haney was chartered May 1, 1952. Jim Hadgkiss was a founding member of the Club and its first President. In recognition of Jim’s community and Rotary involvement, the Club introduced the Jim Hadgkiss Award in 1994 to recognize a Rotarian that has made a significant contribution to the Club - a person who has truly made a difference. The Club meets weekly on Wednesdays at 6:30 pm at Meadow Gardens Golf Club. The Rotary Club of Meadow Ridge was charted in March 1990, sponsored by the Haney Club. The Club’s Rotarians

Object of Rotary First formulated in 1910 and adapted through the years as Rotary’s mission expanded, the Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: 1. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service. 2. High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society. 3. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business and community life. 4. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

Eric Mollema vice president

Rotary has been involved in the fight to eradicate polio since 1985. As early as 1988 there were an estimated 350,000 cases in more than 125 countries. In 2012, there were 140 cases reported in three countries.

It’s a disease that most of us note only once in our lives: at the time of a simple inoculation that few will even remember. And yet, when the first polio vaccine was introduced 57 years ago, it came at a time of fear and even panic. Polio, short for poliomyelitis, is an infection that

Despite the success, much work needs to be done to continue the fight in the three remaining countries and to ensure it doesn’t reappear elsewhere. Rotary, together with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the United Nations, continues it’s fundraising efforts worldwide for fear a funding gap could derail 25 years of effort.

What does Rotary mean to me? As a long serving member of Rotary, I have been invited to write a few words describing what Rotary means to me. Rotary means meeting every week with a group of likeminded local business men and women who come from all corners of the local community. We meet Wednesday evening over dinner at Meadow Gardens Golf Club. While eating we discuss events in our lives and in the community. We form bonds of friendship that over time have some very interesting opportunities. Since the “ aims and objects” of Rotary are to serve the communities’ greatest needs, we of course review how we can best meet those needs. As a long serving member Rotary means many things to me: • Rotary means raising funds to build playgrounds. • Rotary means presenting scholarships every spring to assist local students in their quest for higher learning. • Rotary means how Canada’s Governor G e n e r a l D av i d J o h n s o n w a s able to attend University as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar. • Rotary means buying books for youngsters in Iqaluit.

• Rotary means raising funds so that we may support the Cancer Society, The Salvation Army, to name only two. • Rotary means knowing that all of the money we raise goes directly to one of the many worthwhile organizations we support. • Rotary means knowing that our group of members in the two local Rotary clubs is an important part of the worldwide fellowship of over 1.25 million Rotarian in 34,000 clubs in 125 countries...

Being a member of this worldwide organization that has touched, and continues to touch, the lives of citizens in this community and in every corner of the world is what Rotary means to me.

Meadow ridge rotary events Since its inception in 1990, the Rotary Club of Meadow Ridge has supported local and international projects with fundraising efforts. Two key events have contributed significantly to our community.

Never been to Haney Automotive? I invite you to ask your friends and neighbors, I am confident you will hear good things, check us out at www.haneyautomotive.com then give us a call 604-467-0138 and try us

Testimonial I was recommended Haney Automotive by a friend a while back and decided to try them out when the water pump blew on my car. They were professional, affordable, and fixed my car in no time. Above all, it was nice to see an independent family run business with a friendly atmosphere in this day and age of chain stores. A+ all around and I don’t think I’ll ever take a car anywhere else!! Chris Patch 18/07/2012

Wine Festival The Wine Festival is a yearly event where local and international wine and beer makers display and expound their wines. This event includes wine and beer tasting, silent and live auctions, 50/50 draw, great live music and a culinary showcase featuring local restaurants. All proceeds go to local projects and groups supporting arts, culture, heritage and environmental initiatives.

Sports Banquet

The Sports Banquet is held each year to honour a local individual as a HomeTown Hero. Thirty-four local sportsmen and women have received this prestigious honour during the last 21 years. Funds raised during this event, totaling $500,000 over the period, benefitted youth baseball, ice hockey, football, soccer, lacrosse, kayaking, ball hockey, track & field and more. Every year representatives from professional sports organizations, including the BC Lions, Vancouver Giants and the Vancouver Whitecaps as well as many in attendance from our HomeTown Heroes’ roster, attend this event.

Support for Literacy

www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS -- Wednesday, April 10, 2013 -- 29

Founder of Rotary The first Rotary Club was formed when attorney Paul Harris called together a meeting of three business acquaintances (mining engineer, coal merchant and tailor) in Chicago. The first meeting was held on February 23, 1905.

Your local Rotarians have been hard at work to improve the world both locally and further afield. Those of you who read the newspaper on a regular basis will be aware of the many public facilities, specifically sports facilities, where Rotarians have donated more than a half million dollars to provide our children with the means to stay out of trouble and learn new life skills such as sportsmanship, honesty, self-discipline etc. Few of you will be aware of our efforts to improve the future of our fellow Canadians who live in Nunavut, often under very dire circumstances. I cannot begin to describe the overwhelming difficulties of overcrowding, poor housing and above all effective and meaningful education with no hope for a promising future.

There is a wonderful program promoting literacy among the very young in Nunavut. Children who are exposed to books and where the parents will read to them at bed time tend to perform much better in school than those who have never been exposed to books and stories. Dolly Parton is credited with starting a program in 1996 to benefit the children of her home county in East Tennessee, USA. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library’s

vision is to foster a love of reading among preschool children and their families by providing them with the gift of a specially selected book each month at no charge. The organization’s goal is to have children excited about books and to feel the magic that books can create. This program has been replicated by many Rotarians across North America and the UK, but never in the Canadian Arctic, let alone Nunavut. The Rotary Club of Meadow Ridge and Rotary Club of Haney have funded this program for the community of Repulse Bay, Nunavut where the average age of the population is less than 18 years and has an extremely poor record of of kids dropping out of school at an early age, even before entering high school. It is our expectation that we will see an improvement in school attendance and success in future years. A bit about Nunavut and Repulse Bay Nunavut is the least populated and largest area of the provinces and territories of Canada. One of the most remote and sparsely settled regions in the world is spread over the area the size of Western Europe. It is known to be the northernmost permanently inhabited place in the world. The population in Repulse Bay is 945 according to the 2011 census, an increase from 748 in the 2006 census. The community continues to rely on traditional sealing, fishing, hunting, trapping and carving as well as tourism for their livelihood. Repulse Bay is known for its Inuit artists, especially carvers creating small animal sculptures out of ivory, soapstone, marble and antler.

Paul Harris’ vision and memory is celebrated by the awarding of Paul Harris Fellowships which represent the highest honor that a Rotary Club can bestow on a member of the community. People who have been awarded a Paul Harris Fellow have demonstrated that they exemplify one of the most famous of Rotary’s mottos - Service Above Self. If you see a Paul Harris Fellow award in someone’s home or office, we encourage you to take a moment to find out more and to congratulate them. It truly is an honour, not given lightly.

The Haney Rotary Men’s Night is a long-standing tradition, over the years raising tens of thousands of dollars for organizations and Rotary projects. Guests enjoy an all-you-can-eat roast beef buffet dinner, cocktails and some fun gambling at the races, betting with friends and colleagues. The evening ends with the legendary reverse draw.

Youth Experience Service in Guatemala west coast auto group

There are things we take for granted, including the ability to cook our food on a stove. In the remote village of Chiblac Palmira, Guatemala, villagers cook their food over open indoor pits, which in addition to being a fire hazard, are unsafe for the many rambunctious children and responsible for a host of respiratory ailments.

Rotary Clubs Collaborate to Raise Funds In two short years the local Rotary clubs’ Duck Race has raised $160,000 for youth organizations. Says Rotary Club of Meadow Ridge Past President Terry Becker, “just like Rotary’s 2011 Duck Race winner, the 2012 winner walked away with a Jeep Wrangler sponsored by Maple Ridge Chrysler. Building on the success of the inaugural race, funds raised increased to over $80,000. In 2013 we’re shooting for $100,000–that’s 10,000 duck in the river!”

The goal is to provide a fundraiser that will empower community youth organizations such as PACs, scouts, hockey teams, soccer teams, arts groups, dance groups, softball teams, and to local Rotary youth projects. Planning and preparation for this event is year-round with the goal of 100% of ticket sales kept by the selling organization. On event day, all ducks sold are placed in the

Beloved Husband, Father and Pepere Always remembered Never forgotten Loved always your wife Betty and family THOMAS, Robert Gerald (Bob) March 7, 1940 - April 3, 2008

Five years ago you passed away you had to go, you could not stay. We said goodbye with heavy heart saddened that we had to part. Our lives one day on earth will end, when they do our hearts will mend. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come to you and take your hand, to walk with you in the promised land. Till then dear heart we send our love, as you rest and wait in heaven above.

Missing you always, wife Kay, Murray, Connice & Families.

CARMICHAEL, Ian George Born May 6, 1945 in Liverpool, England, passed peacefully on April 1, 2013 after a brief battle with cancer. He was the beloved husband of 48 years to Maureen, who was the love of his life, and a wonderful father to Lorena (Alex) and David (Chantel) and Granddad to Brooke and Breanne. Ian spent time with his ill daughter sharing moments together while at their treatments. His motto â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep fightingâ&#x20AC;? rings still in the air. Ian had an amazing circle of loving friends, all of which loved his witty sense of humour. On sunny days he would love to ride his motorbike with his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brideâ&#x20AC;? on the back. Other times he was working with his son helping with his business. He also spent some time helping fix computers for Alex. Ian loved to cook; you could catch him conjuring up a new recipe with his daughter-in-law Chantel. Being a proud Granddad to Brooke and Breanne was his most favorite pastime and helping with their school projects. Ian will be greatly missed but never forgotten â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?You will never walk aloneâ&#x20AC;?. A celebration of Ianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at the Highway Church in Maple Ridge on Friday April 12, 2013 at 1 pm. As an expression of sympathy in lieu of flowers, contributions to the Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family.

HUTTON - John (Jack) Jack passed away peacefully at Ridge Meadows Hospital March 31, 2013 in his 90th year. Beloved father to, Bryan (Kathy) Maple Ridge BC; Derek (Linda) Toronto ON.; Grandfather to Alexander & Hayley Toronto ON; Meaghan (Dave), St. Catharines ON; Erin & Graham, Maple Ridge BC; Great Grandfather to Nathan, St. Catharines ON. Jack is predeceased by his wife Elsie (2006) after over 60 years together. The family would like to thank the staff at Ridge Meadow Hospital and a special thanks to the staff at Willow Manor, for making him feel so welcome for the last 10 years. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Born in Edinburgh Scotland Aug 1, 1923, Jack attended George Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boys College and graduated as a Timber Engineer from the University of Edinburgh in 1941. He joined the RAF and was posted to various RAF Costal Command locations in England, Scotland and Ireland throughout the War. While posted at Limavady Aerodrome in Northern Ireland, Jack met a young WAF named Elsie Wilson. They were married on November 4th 1944. After the war, they settled in Edinburgh, Scotland and raised two boys. The family immigrated to Canada in 1957 and lived in Ottawa and Vancouver before returning to the UK in 1960 where they resided in Birmingham England. They returned to Canada in 1964 and settling in St. Catharines ON. Jack worked for the St Lawrence Seaway and the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, before retiring in 1986. In looking for new adventures, in 1992, Jack and Elsie moved to Victoria BC and then Sydney BC, until 2003, when they moved to Maple Ridge BC to be closer to family. Jack was a proud and active member of the Royal Canadian Legion for over 50 years and always involved himself in various senior clubs, serving on the board of directors and volunteering his time. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Salvation Army, Caring Place, Maple Ridge BC is appreciated. A Celebration of Life will be held on April 17, 2013 at 1 pm at the Garden Hill Funeral Chapel, 11765 224th St, Maple Ridge B.C. Expressions of sympathy can be made at www.gardenhill.ca

Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soul-mate Ruth predeceased him in 2011 after 65 years of marriage. Jim served in the Navy where he met Ruth and in 1953 they moved from Ontario to Websterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner to establish a mink farm. Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career would be with Corrections Canada; however he took time to enjoy life with traveling by cruise ships, spending summers at Canim Lake and playing golf.
