Labour strife threatens school year Workers without a contract for four years by Ne i l Cor be tt staff reporter

The prospect of a labour dispute disrupting the school year came a step closer to reality Tuesday, after a breakdown in talks between the provincial government and the union representing school support staff. “Government wasn’t ready for us,” said Leslie Franklin, who represents Ridge Meadows school district workers (CUPE Local 703) and who is also on the bargaining committee. “We were there three days, but they weren’t prepared to bargain.” CUPE represents teacher’s assistants, custodial staff, clerical workers and other vocations in the school system. They have been without a raise for four years and their contract expired more than a year ago. In June, CUPE’s school district locals took a strike vote that received broad support across the province, ranging between 85 and 100 per cent. In the Ridge Meadows local, 97 per cent voted for job action. A strike would close schools, because members of the BC Teachers’ Federation will not cross a CUPE picket line, said Franklin. “We want a settlement. We don’t want strike action,” she said. The government called the union to the table, but no progress was made. “We were there three days, but they weren’t prepared to bargain,” Franklin said, calling it “disappointing,” “extremely frustrating” and “a waste of three days.” The union issued a release saying there is a danger the bargaining delays will disrupt classes in the fall. “Our committee set aside nearly two weeks to bargain, and we came to the table with ideas for cost savings.”

Guilty plea in violent kidnap Ian Campbell admits to taking teen at gun point by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

A man who kidnapped a young waitress from a Maple Ridge mall at gun point in January pleaded guilty to the crime Friday. Ian James William Campbell entered pleas to four of seven criminal charges including using an imitation firearm, assault causing

bodily harm, unlawful confinement and theft. The other charges will most likely be stayed. Campbell will be sentenced in September in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court. The 25-year-old has been in custody since he was arrested in Vancouver Jan. 22 by mem- Campbell bers of the Vancouver Police Department’s Emergency Response Team and Ridge Meadows RCMP’s Street

Enforcement Unit. His arrest came after a public appeal by police for tips in the violent abduction of a 17-year-old girl from Westgate Centre on Lougheed Highway. The girl was standing outside the Fox’s Reach Pub after work when she was approached by Campbell around 8 p.m., Jan. 19. According to police, Campbell told the teen he needed help to start his car. The girl went

to help him, but Campbell pulled a gun and forced her to drive her red 1993 Honda Civic, out of the mall to a secluded area, where police say he physically, but not sexually assaulted her. Badly beaten, she still managed to fight him off, ripping a gold cross from him during the struggle. She escaped to a nearby house. After police appealed for information, several other women contacted investigators, saying they were approached by a similar man near Westgate Centre. See Plea, p14

Katzie take a stand to fight crime 70 show up to voice their concern about criminals by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

The protest was just minutes minutes away on Sunday afternoon, and so far Coleen Pierre, her grandchildren, and a few other family members, were the only people at the Katzie band office. The former band administrator had made signs bearing slogans designed to make people think about escalating crime on the reserve. She has had enough, and thought others would support an anti-crime initiative. “I stood there at 20-to-three, and thought ‘what if it’s just me and the grandsons?’” But in that last 20 minutes, the ranks of the marchers swelled to about 70 people, which she says was an excellent turnout considering the band lists some 500 members, with about 300 living on-reserve. In total, she counted 29 Katzie households that were involved. They marched with the signs, to the sound of traditional drumming and speaking, and at four intersections along their route they stopped and shared their thoughts. It was the kind of day Pierre had envisioned. “My God, it was fabulous,” she said. “Even some of the youth spoke, and shared their stories – their experiences, difficulties and situations they faced.” She said some participants came from neighbouring communities, and an elder from Burnaby gave an inspirational talk about his decision to have a drug-free and alcohol-free lifestyle. “People have to realize that there are more people affected by their negative actions,” said Pierre. It was a completely peaceful anticrime demonstration, that ended with a party in the park.

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Avery Williams-Peter leads a demonstration along Walter Florence Road on the Katzie Reserve Sunday afternoon. See related video @ mapleridgenews.com . She said the event was a success in that it brought people in Katzie together. “Neighbours need to rebuild trust and comfort,” she said. Mike Stark has connections to Katzie and was one of the non band members who took part in the event. “It was a pretty powerful march,” said Stark. “There were a lot of people who came together as one voice, and they spoke from the

heart.” He gave credit to the Katzie “matriarchs” who made the event happen. Stark pointed out that residents of downtown Maple Ridge also took action when they got tired of crime in their drugplagued neighbourhood. “Downtown Mapel Ridge had the same issues, and the neighbourhood came together. This really is no different.”

He thinks it will help. “It makes a tremendous difference where people come together for community.” Pierre maintains that much of the criminal element on the reserve is brought by non-band members, whom she calls “squatters.” She worked for 26 years at the band office, in roles ranging from receptionist to administrator. “My kids thought I would die at

the band office,” she said. But she has been retired for four years, and she spoke to the crowd only as “a concerned member of the Katzie First Nation.” Pierre next plans to re-energize the Katzie community safety committee, to address issues of crime and drug abuse. “I told them, the last heartbeat of that drum – when it quits, that’s not the end.”

Band chief resigns early

The Katzie First Nations Band will be looking for a new chief, after Ed Pierre announced his resignation last week. Reached by The News, Pierre declined to comment on his reasons for leaving. The band has approximately 530 members in the communities of Pitt Pierre Meadows, Barnston Island and Fort Langley. They will vote for a new chief

Gov’t. looks at redrawing ALR map Topic is emotional, minister agrees by Phil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett admits his recent comments on the Agricultural Land Reserve were provocative and that he wanted to spark a reaction. He wants to hear what people think about the emotionally charged topic of redrawing the boundaries of the ALR. “I’ve been very frustrated with the way the Agricultural Land Comission operates,” Bennett told the Cranbrook Townsmen earlier this month. “People who are sitting on a piece of land that is covered by rocks and trees, land that should never have been in the ALR boundaries in the first place, are constantly being turned down when they want to use their own private land … for the purposes of maybe a small subdivision, or maybe they want to put a small campground on it and they’ve been flum-

The news/fiLes

The review of government programs could include redrawing ALR boundaries. moxed by the land commission for years.” Bennett’s statements came as he confirmed that the core review of government services that he was leading, also will look at redrawing ALR boundaries. The land reserve was created in 1973 and covers 4.7 million hectares, about five per cent of B.C., protecting farmland from development. “It’s going to be very challenging to have people be comfortable with the notion that you can look at the ALR

without attacking it,” he said Friday. Changing the ALR doesn’t mean removing good farmland but carving off areas in the Cariboo, Chilcotin, or Kootenays that are filled with rocks and trees with no access to water, that shouldn’t have been included in the first place. “We are not making good agricultural land more available for development. “That’s not the purpose of the review.” But he admits, just how to

change those boundaries without opening up all of the reserve, hasn’t yet been figured out. “It’s a fundamental question that we haven’t answered but will have to be answered in the process.” The real question is, “How can we ensure that good agricultural land remains in the reserve and is protected from development, while identifying other opportunities on other lands that’s currently in the reserve that shouldn’t be there.” seeALR, p5

ALR review a risky business

Published and printed by Black Press at 22328 – 119th Avenue, Maple Ridge, B.C., V2X 2Z3

Ingrid Rice

nergy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett, to his credit, has been upfront saying he’ll take a close look at the boundaries of the Agricultural Land Reserve because, he says, in some areas they hamper economic growth, such as the ability to build a new suburb. The look will form part of the core review of government services and Bennett tries to assure anyone listening in the doldrums of summer that he has no intent of removing productive farmland from the reserve. It’s a dangerous game however, and Bennett admits they haven’t yet found a way to remove “worthless” farmland from the reserve, while protecting fertile land. It’s dangerous because while applicants in the Interior argue dry conditions make farming fruitless, those on the coast argue too much water makes it impossible to farm. The latter is a triedand-true pitch from applicants hoping to cash in by developing cheap, verdant land that could produce bumper crops, with only a modicum of care and knowledge. While our neighbours to the south struggle with water shortages and dessertification, the B.C. government should focus more on the huge economic contributor that agriculture can, or will be. One of Bennett’s proposals is to allow home-site severance from the ALR. That would allow a retiring farmer to remain in his or her family home while a new generation took over the production. That’s a prudent and practical step that’s a win-win for all. Any redrawing of boundaries however, if at all, can only follow a thorough, objective, sciencebased scrutiny of the land in question, separate and apart from the core review. – The News Tell us what you think @ www.mapleridgenews.com

Bartender: Another round of reforms VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberal government is ordering up another round of liquor regulation changes, looking for ways to make life easier for businesses and customers without aggravating the health and social problems associated B.C. Views with alcohol. Tom Fletcher Discussions with B.C.’s 10,000 liquor licence holders have identified a few problems. Going into a consultation phase that runs to October, the government is looking for answers to a few obvious questions, such as why it takes a pub or bar up to a year to get a licence. Another question: why can a family with under-aged children go into a licensed restaurant for lunch, but can’t go to a pub and place the exact same food and drink order? This should be allowed, perhaps until the traditional 5 p.m. “happy hour” when the pub reverts to adults-only. A couple of suggestions have come out of the healthy growth of B.C. wine, craft beer and distillery operations. Look for new licence opportunities for farmers’ markets to sell local beverages along with the produce and preserves. Letters inviting suggestions from existing licence holders have gone out, and Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap will be meeting this fall with industry groups, local governments, police, health and

social policy organizations and First Nations in the fall. A website will be put up in September so members of the public can have their say. Here’s my suggestion to start things off. Recent incidents involving so-called “party buses” shone a light on this growing industry, The sudden death of a 16-year-old on a party bus outing in Surrey in February turned out not to be alcohol-related, but to no one’s surprise, open liquor was found aboard the bus. Open liquor isn’t allowed in any vehicle, but perhaps a new kind of special event licence could be created for party buses. They have been viewed mainly as part of the solution to impaired driving, and the situation isn’t much different from a supervised event on a boat. Here’s another suggestion. Gourmet cooking classes are becoming popular, with customers preparing and then enjoying their meals. Why not license these establishments, at least so people can bring their own wine for dinner? Both the B.C. Liberals and NDP have advocated for easing the archaic rules on inter-provincial trade in wine. B.C. lifted its restrictions on mail-order wine and has urged other provinces to follow suit. There are a couple of reasons why this Prohibition-era structure persists. Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial governments, and every case of wine brought in from elsewhere is lost profit for the provincial wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local industry lobby that would rather not add to its competition. Premier Christy Clark pressed this

point at the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine. The Toronto media drank it up, aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry.

“Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nutured for a decade – and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union.” The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is understandable. The B.C. Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union. There are more creative ways to liberalize alcohol sales. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com (tfletcher@blackpress.ca)

The News/letters

Why take photos Some issues still not addressed and not help out? Editor, The News: On Tuesday, Aug. 6 I was trail riding out by Alouette Lake with a friend. While on the trails, we suffered a serious accident. Both horses and my friend were injured. Thankfully, my friend sustained only bruises, but both horses incurred serious injuries. I want to send a very sincere and heartfelt thank you to the young woman who saw us on the road. All of us were muddy and bleeding. We must have been quite the sight, I had my shirt off wrapped around my horse’s bloody leg trying to stop the blood. She stopped and offered us any help she was able, then drove behind us with her four ways flashing as we led our horses down the road trying to get them to a trailer. I wish I had her name. I can only hope she reads this and knows how truly grateful we were for her assistance. I want to ask the moron who slowed down to take pictures of us, then drove off, if he enjoyed his photo shoot? Why would you slow to take a pic of someone’s misfortune? I hope you enjoy your pictures … Another question for the driver of the black truck who was so impatient as we tried to get the two seriously injured horses loaded on the trailer. I hope you made it to your destination on time as it seemed you were in a quite hurry and thought it necessary to gun your engine as you sped past. I want to thank Sue for coming to our rescue without question when I called her for help. I know you were trying to enjoy a visit with out of town family but stepped right up when I needed you. I also want to thank Agwest vets, in particular Dr. Fawcett who was kind and compassionate and made things as easy as possible for both my lovely mare Hera and myself when I made the decision to euthanize after I learned the true extent of her injuries. He made sure she was in no pain and relaxed before she passed. I also want to thank Anna-Lisa, the wonderful woman I boarded my mare with, who took care of things during the passing and afterward. I was a mess and couldn’t think straight after this traumatic and horrifying ordeal. Thankfully, the other horse was able to be stitched back together and hopefully will make a full recovery. Carol Redden, Maple Ridge

Wakeling one of the good guys Editor, The News: Re: Sandy Wakeling: I had the good fortune to work alongside Sandy on the Pitt Meadows committee for several years. He was a great guy, who would do anything for you. I remember one year we did a fundraiser, Christmas in the Country at the recreation centre. He took care of serving the coffee with a slice of coffee cake for $2. I took care of the bake sale table. The look on his face as he saw all the baked good disappearing from the table, which did not take long, was priceless. We raised a few dollars that night. I was shocked to read that he had passed away. Wakeling My condolences go out to his wife and family. Christine Wood, Pitt Meadows

Editor, The News: Re: Coun. Cheryl Ashlie, (Letters, Aug. 7). Conflict of interest is a broad term. In legislation it is usually narrowly defined to only capture conflicts that could result in financial gain for the individual and/or immediate family members. When Coun. Cheryl Ashlie states, “And as assigned under the legislation, I will call my own conflict,” she is specifically referring to any potential personal financial gain. She will do this, of course. To do otherwise is to risk removal by the courts from her elected position. It is perceived conflict of interest, or optics, that are the concerns being raised in the community over Coun. Ashlie sitting on Maple Ridge council while acting as the constituency assistant for Liberal MLA Doug Bing. Cheryl Baron’s (Letters, Aug. 2) letter to the editor raised a concern about perceived conflict of interest and that concern has not been addressed. It is easy to think of examples of the difficulties that may arise from a perception of conflict of interest in this case: A Maple Ridge resident

Maple Ridge council on a summer break but it’s still drawing comments. has a concern involving a district bylaw or decision and wants to bring that concern to his/her MLA. Will they hesitate to pick up the phone or drop by the office, knowing they will be speaking to a Maple Ridge councillor? Will they have concerns about confidentiality? Will this prove a barrier?

To date, I have not read anything that suggests these concerns are partisan, but Ms. Ashlie’s letter takes pains to point out parallel behaviour within the New Democratic party. Is it really necessary to point out, “two wrongs don’t make a right?” There are many questions and they should be ad-

THE NEWS/files

dressed directly. The answers may prove satisfactory, but the skirting of the central concerns is disturbing. Perceived conflict of interest is not an easy issue to deal with, but when the effort is made, everyone benefits because it results in better governance. Katherine Wagner Maple Ridge

Coun. Ashlie definitely qualified but . . . Editor, The News: Re: Making an informed decision (Letters, Aug. 7) I do not dispute Ms. Ashlie’s points that she has the right to be employed in addition to her councillor duties, and that there was no conflict when she undertook the role of campaign manager for Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Doug Bing. I believe she is qualified to be a constituency assistant and that she cares deeply about our community. It is for these reasons I have always supported her bid to be on council. However, comparing her role as CA for a Liberal MLA who sits as a member of government, to a CA for an NDP MLA who sits in opposition, is like comparing cats to mice – there is an obvious power difference. A CA has a high degree of responsibility and authority. They do much of the day-today work of the MLA. They are depended on for their opinions. As CA for a sitting member of the government she would have real influence that could affect legislation – the CA to a member of the opposition would have none.

Often, priorities of the provincial and municipal governments can be opposing. This is not uncommon and not necessarily a bad thing for the people. According to Wikipedia, “ the conflict in a conflict of interest exists whether or not a particular individual is actually influenced by the secondary interest. Ashlie This means even if a person is able to keep the issues separate, he r she is still in a conflict situation. Some justify Ms. Ashlie taking the CA job with MLA Bing, as having potential benefits to Maple Ridge therefore it is OK. That is so wrong. The conflict of interest responsibility door swings both ways; the people of B.C. should be as concerned as the people of Maple Ridge. One conflict could be the provincial government refusing to give more tax breaks to the movie industry. Locally, we could easily oppose that position because of how much movie compa-

nies contribute to our local economy. Another example is pay parking at hospitals – the B.C. government depends on the revenue, while many citizens of Maple Ridge would like to see pay parking removed, or at least reduced. What about issues involving the ALC? Education? Roads? Prisons? Parks? Streams? In Port Coquitlam, the mayor, CAO, MLA and councillor/CA involved agreed that a person could hold both jobs only so long as the MLA was not a member of the governing party. They further agreed that if the NDP were to win the next election the councillor/ CA involved would have to make a choice between jobs due to the potential conflict. The collective agreement clause Ms. Ashlie interprets as confirmation she is allowed to do both jobs is actually a clause allowing for a leave of absence to ensure a person does not do both jobs. She has this one backwards.

She notes that “collective agreements are structured to ensure they are not ultra vires to the laws of the land” as if that gives her judicial approval to hold both jobs; what a red herring that is. Ultra vires is a Latin term meaning, “If a corporation enters into a contract that is beyond the scope of its corporate powers, the contract is illegal.” Common sense really and far from authorization to do what she is doing. I disagree that Ms. Ashlie’s decision was informed. It appears to me she only researched enough to argue about taking the job, not validate it. The quality and understanding of her research is poor. This is very concerning, not what many of her supporters expect. This does not pass the optics test and never will. I call on Ms. Ashlie to declare an honest mistake, correct the situation by giving up one of her two conflicting roles and go forward with no burden.

Two women who called for help after getting getting stuck on Golden Ears Mountain Saturday night were found safe and sound by search crews. The women in their early 20s called 911 around 10:30 p.m. while descending West Canyon Trail. Del Doornbosch, a deputy team manager with Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue, said the women had no flashlights. “They lost their way. They were nervous about coming out at night,” he added. Two search teams were sent to find the women who left the area after meeting another group of hikers. They hiked to Alder Flats to wait out the night. Search crews found the women four hours later asleep in a tent. The women were unable to call off the search parties as cellphone ser-

When they made the 911 call, it’s the only call they could get through. There was no communication after that.” The women hiked out of the park on their own in the morning. It’s

the second time search crews have been called to Golden Ears Mountain in the past week. On Aug. 4, a helicopter flew volunteers in to help a woman who dislocated her elbow while descending the summit.

Homeless camp sparks fire Peat moss, roots, ignite, stubborn blaze

Buy 1 Complete Set of Glasses - Get 1

by mo ni s ha m ar tin s staff reporter

A cooking pit at a homeless camp sparked a fire Friday morning that spread through in a thickly wooded area in Pitt Meadows. The fire started around 7:30 a.m. off a trail that leads from Harris Road to Baynes Road, just below the Mitchell Road subdivision. Staff at Pitt Meadows Regional Airport spotted smoke and called in the fire. Firefighters had to cut through dense brush to reach the blaze. Fire chief Don Jolley said the fire was at least 100 metres into difficult-to-access brush. Crews had to carry water in backpacks to the site because hoses were not long enough to reach it. Two tents were found in the thicket but no one was inside them. Jolley does not know how the fire started but suspects it had something to do with cooking at the campsite. “They were certainly cooking in the area of the fire recently,” he added. A helicopter with a forest fire fighting crew from Metro Vancouver was called to help douse the flames which rapidly engulfed tinder dry debris and ignited peat moss. It took 15 firefighters

Crews work to extinguish ground blaze. a burn ban is in place. and a three person forest fire crew to extinguish the fire. The B.C. Ambulance Service was put on standby. Jolley said the fire moved slowly but got into the roots near the homeless camp. Although the fire did not pose a threat to homes or property, crews had to make sure it was extinguished completely to stop smouldering debris from reigniting as the day heated up. It was very difficult to extinguish as the fire got below ground into the peat and roots, Jolley added. “We ended up falling a half dozen trees and clearing a fairly large area of brush, of approximately 50 feet.” The Maple Ridge fire department also sent a crew to help Pitt Meadows. It took more than four

hours to completely extinguish the fire. The fire was the second blaze caused by vagrants since mid-July prompting the fire department to crack down on encampments throughout the city. “We are constantly discussing the issue with bylaws,” said Jolley, noting there are a number of locations where people live outdoors. For the most part, the people in the camps are careful. “So far there has been no bad issues. Bylaws continuously monitors the situation throughout the city in a very proactive way. “They do their best at managing the problem but it is very fluid and difficult to pin down.” Open fire bans have been in effect since the start of August.

Pitt motorcyclist dies on Hwy. 1 A 72-year-old Pitt Meadows man is dead after a Tuesday morning motorcycle accident on Highway No. 1. RCMP were called out to a single vehicle accident at the Annis Road overpass, where the vehicle had gone off the road and rolled. The two people inside, a man and a woman, got out and ran away. While police looked for them, eastbound traffic backed up two kilometres toward Chilliwack. The man on the motorbike, a 2006 Suzuki, slammed on the brakes when he saw the stopped traffic.

But he lost control, fell off and slid at high speed into a Ford SUV. He died at the scene. RCMP have ruled out weather and road conditions as causes of the accident, leaving traffic conditions, speed, mechanical defects and driver inattention as possible causes. As of 2:30 p.m., the man and woman from the first accident hadn’t been found. Anyone who witnessed either accident and hasn’t spoken to police is asked to call Const. Peter Ostrom at 604-702-4039

Bicycles important back in the old days But earning a living wasn’t easy

Your Mini Cooper dealership alternative for quality diagnostics, repairs, and maintenance.

Looki ng Bac k by Matthew Sheilds

It was in May 1937 that Maple Ridge’s own Margery Saunders clinched the victory in the Vancouver Daily Province’s annual Bike Race. The race course looped around Stanley Park, in the year before it was cut in two by the new Lions Gate Bridge and its causeway. At the time, the Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows Gazette gloated: “So grueling was the last few hundred yards that the runner-up, Ms. Leiper, collapsed right after crossing the finish tape. “But for our own Margery, the race was but an interlude – for not only had she rode her bike to Vancouver in time to start but immediately after the ceremonies were over, once more mounted her trusty bicycle and rode back home, another 30 miles.” Bikes were an important modus operandi in the rural town. As now, they made for brilliant recreation, and the community archives hold a good few photos of bikes and their owners alongside gravel roads, waterways, and old facades. The bicycle was a machine for work, too, and local businesses like Clappison’s Butch-

Sometimes the town’s two-wheelers were used in celebration, as in the parade celebrating B.C.’s 1958 centennial, or in protest, as when students hit the road in 1939 – on strike for a new high school. This summer has been the first in many years that I have taken to Maple Ridge by bicycle. As a child, I rode around Davidson subdivision on a small Raleigh with fat, studded tires that dragged on the slightest incline and seemed to weigh about as much as I did. Lacking the constitution of Ms. Saunders, I was discouraged for many years. But I now find cycling is excellent, fulfilling exercise,

and it encourages me to enter areas which are far from my home and the major routes along which I usually drive. This has been modestly empowering and highly educational. According to Ed Villiers, Margery took another long bicycle ride in 1937. It was almost September, and unmarried women, particularly hard up during the Depression, hopped freight trains headed through the Interior in their search for work as apple pickers. Margery began pedaling east, mailing some of her extra clothes general delivery from Hope to Penticton. She climbed through the Fraser Canyon along mismatched fragments of the Cariboo

Wagon Road – the only Canadian route east at that time – walking up the worst hills, arriving in the valleys with little but her dwindling money and a pup tent. She returned six weeks later entering the new “auto courts” with her bicycle when it was too cold to sleep outside – paying for the privilege with her hardearned picker’s wages. Her November arrival in Haney was noted in a brief on the front page of the Gazette. “Some jaunt!” it cried, with admiration and bemusement. I doubt Ms. Saunders was surprised by her own tenacity, even if she was too modest to acknowledge it. Matthew Shields is a Maple Ridge Museum researcher.

Appeal court documents reveal Campbell came from a dysfunctional family and spent his early years in foster care. Police are also inves-

Mussatto said collective diligence in conserving water helps postpone the need for costly new projects to build higher dams and bigger mains and pumping stations. Lawn sprinkling is only allowed before 9 a.m. in the morning, three days a week, between June 1 and Sept. 30. Watering of shrubs, trees, flowers and vegetables are exempt from the lawn restrictions.

said North Vancouver City Mayor Darrell Mussatto, who chairs Metro’s utilities committee. Metro decided to ban evening lawn sprinkling to ease demand at peak hours when many households are running dishwashers, clothes washers and baths. Metro reservoirs are currently about 78 per cent full – somewhat lower levels than the previous two summers when more rain fell, but still well within what’s considered the normal range.

News/seniority You paid how much!? Researching stroke recovery

#ShouldaUsedVancouver

With advances in awareness and medical services, more Canadians are surviving and thriving after sufferingg strokes. However, a new report by the Heart and Stroke Foundation reveals that more than one-third of Canadians mistakenly believe that the recovery period is limited to a few months. Stroke recovery is a journey that can continue for years or a lifetime, according to the Heart and Stroke Foundation 2013 Stroke Report, which outlines the importance of family caregivers in the process. A poll carried out for the report reveals that half of Canadians are directly touched by stroke and even more striking, that one in five Canadians have been involved in the support and care of a stroke survivor. As the population continues to age, more Canadians will be living with the effects of stroke, said Ian Joiner, of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “Recovery can continue for years, and many Canadians find themselves supporting stroke survivors through that recovery journey. The urgency and need for action is clear.” More information is needed. “We need rehabilitation research to better understand the difficulties someone is having after a stroke, and then develop the treatments to help

them get better,” said physiatrist Dr. Sean Dukelow, an assistant professor at the University of Calgary and a Heart and Stroke Foundation-funded researcher. He uses robotics to help stroke survivors recover. “We use a robotic model – a large robotic chair – that helps measure a patient’s improvement over time and helps deliver therapy. It can require tens of thousands of repetitions of a particular movement to relearn how to do it after stroke, and the robot helps determine the type and intensity of the rehabilitation needed.” The role that relatives or close friends of stroke survivors carry out is essential to the recovery journey. They help survivors relearn routine activities, regain abilities, cope with challenges and do things the survivors cannot do for themselves. They also become navigators of the healthcare system and advocates for services and follow-up. “The story of stroke is not over. Stroke is preventable. Stroke is treatable. And recovery from stroke is possible. For stroke survivors and their loved ones, continued advances in rehabilitation and recovery mean real hope for a better future. There is life after stroke,” says the Foundation press release.

More seniors in the workforce, report shows How are seniors managing and planning for the future? The report Seniors in the Lower Mainland: A Snapshot of Facts and Trends by the United Way and SPARC BC tells an interesting story. More are working: The snapshot shows that fewer seniors today are relying on RRSPs and investment income than they did 10 years ago (RRSPs dropped from 11.1 to 8.5%, investment income dropped to 58% from 65.4%) while those relying on private pensions, CPP and OAS have not changed much. Meanwhile, employment income jumped from 16.4% to 28.1% from between 2000 and 2010 and, with housing costs being what they are, that trend can be expected to grow. More live as couples. Could economics be playing a factor? After all, it’s expensive to live in this region. Single seniors, especially women, live with less money than single men, (three in five women are living on less than $25,000 a year). Single men do better with less than half living on less than 25,000 per year. But couples do better than both, with a median income of $56,560. Men are staying healthier and may be living longer than they did a decade or two ago and that is good news because it seems couples do better financially than singles. More are staying in the family home lon-

ger, but there are pockets of need, and as seniors age, they require more housing options, including those that can accommodate mobility or health challenges. High costs for care: When it comes to aging gracefully, affordable housing is increasingly important but older seniors who can’t live at home will pay high costs for assisted living (independent units with limited health care) and nursing care at a seniors facility. Fees are approximately $3,000 a month for a one bedroom assisted living unit and $5,626 a month for heavier care. Those costs will only continue to rise, prompting seniors to stay independent and in their own homes as long as possible. Seniors will need help to stay at home: As seniors age, their mobility decreases and they will need help from family members or the community in future years. Thankfully, a substantial number of seniors (70.7%) report that they are functionally in good health. More than 95% have a regular medical doctor and most feel engaged with the community. In the Fraser North region, 84.5% of seniors feel a somewhat strong or very strong sense of community belonging. That number is up considerably from 66.5% who felt that way in 2003.That’s a good base on which to build an age-friendly community that will support seniors for years to come.

Arts council seeks board members Two director positions need to be filled

Mike Norden aka Norden The Magician performs at a library in June. He just won Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Magician of the Year at the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians annual convention in California. Contributed

7th title for Ridge magician Mike Norden wins childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magician of year at annual convention

orden the Magician defended his title as Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Magician of the Year at the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians annual convention last week, walking away with another win. Mike Norden, a Maple Ridge resident, is a seven-time consecutive award winner for his childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magic act. The Pacific Coast association represents over 1,000 magicians on the coast from Alaska to California â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with representatives from Japan and Australia as well. Norden performed his 10 minute act and was awarded first place in the competition and was the only Canadian to win gold in Burbank.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel my connection with kids is what sets me apart,â&#x20AC;? said Norden, who snagged the prize for the eight year in a row. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I concentrate more on the entertainer value and what makes them laugh than I do on the actual magic trick.â&#x20AC;? Norden and his business partner, Gord Boyes, who happens to also be the President of the Fraser Valley Magic Circle, competed in an improv magic event and took first place as a duo as well. With nine other teams and individuals competing, and some of them some big name professionals, that win was almost better than the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medal. With the win, Norden has completed the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Grand Slamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of awards this year, winning first place in comedy, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, variety arts, and the FVMC Celeste Evans award for his dedication to the art of magic.

Through summer, kids across British Columbia get a chance to be wowed by Norden when he performs at libraries. In June, he visited 50 libraries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very important to me to share the importance of reading with kids. I love books,â&#x20AC;? he added. If you would like to see Nordenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show, he will be appearing at the FVMCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly magic show at Missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Opening Nite Theatre. The show is called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Third Monday Magicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as it is held on the third Monday of every month. Tickets are only $10 for adults and since the August edition is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Magic for Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; all kids 12 and under can catch the show for free. Two other award-winning childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainers will be performing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Great Gordini and Tricky Ricky. For tickets, visit www.FVMC. ca.

The Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Arts Council is currently seeking members to fill two vacant positions on its board. Members willing to let their names stand for the three-year term must be available for scheduled board meetings, committee work, and occasional meetings outside of the regular meeting schedule. Individuals may submit their own name. Successful nominees will be asked to become a member of the arts council, if they are not already, as well as submit a resume and a short biographical statement with the nomination. When considering a nominee, please forward names of skilled professionals in their field, who possess some of the following qualities: planning skills; familiarity with not-for-profit; interest in governance, strategic thinking and a belief in the continued development and future of the arts in our community and the work of the arts council. Please submit the name, address, phone/fax/email of your nominee to Ray Wallis, nominations chair, at Ray.Wallis@investorsgroup.com or call the arts council at 604-476-2787. The deadline for nominations is Friday, August 16. Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Arts Council members are invited to the annual general meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2013. Please note that the Arts Council bylaws do not allow for nominations from the floor at the annual general meeting.

Throughout the world, the image of the redcoated Mountie on a horse donning a broadbrimmed Stetson hat is instinctively associated with Canada. This September, experience the tradition and ceremony of the iconic RCMP Musical Ride, which stops at the Albion Fairgrounds on a cross-Canada tour. Members of the Musical Ride are, first and foremost, police officers who, after at least two years of active police work, volunteer for duty with the Musical Ride. Today, in keeping with tradition, the Musical Ride is performed by a full troop of 32 riders and horses, plus the member in charge. The Musical Ride consists of the execution of a variety of intricate figures and cavalry drill choreographed to music. Demanding utmost control, timing and coordination, these movements are formed by individual horses and riders, in two’s, four’s and eight’s at the trot and at the canter. Months of training, practice and many kilometres around the riding school make horse

Maple Ridge pipers off to the worlds SFU band vying for seventh title in Scotland The Simon Fraser University Pipe Band – sporting some new faces – heads to Scotland this weekend eyeing a seventh firstplace trophy at the World Pipe Band Championships this weekend, with a few pipers from Maple Ridge in tow. The band last secured championships in back-to-back victories in 2008 and 2009. The pipers from Maple Ridge include Kevin McLean who plays with the elite band. The newcomers include five who were elevated from the band’s Robert Malcolm Memorial Grade 3 band following the junior band’s world champion win in 2012. Other band members are from all over the Lower Mainland as well as across Canada and the U.S., with a few from Scotland and Ireland, and one drummer, Nicola Purvis, from New Zealand. SFU has secured 20 top-three finishes in 30 “Worlds” appearances, finishing third last year behind eight-time winners Field Marshal Montgomery (FMM) from northern Ireland and Scottish Power, a band that enjoyed a wave of European popularity leading up to last year’s competition.

Pipers at practice in Pipe Sergeant Jack Lee’s backyard before heading to Scotland for the world championships. SFU placed second in 2011, again finishing behind FMM and continuing the rivalry. In both of SFU’s 2008 and 2009 wins, the Irish band took second place. Changes to the competition this year mean all bands need to qualify for the championship finals. Until this year, SFU’s top three finishes have guaranteed them a spot. This year the contest will also be a two-day affair, with final play and results announced on Sunday. The 50-member band completed its practice schedule last week

and spent this week in Stirling, Scotland, about an hour outside Glasgow, practicing daily leading up to the competition. The 2013 Worlds will see 225 bands from 17 countries compete at various levels. SFU is one of six Canadian Grade 1 bands competing among 23 top bands. Once again BBC will live stream the competition over both days, with SFU scheduled to play first in the MSR and Medley first rounds starting at 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. Vancouver time on Saturday.

Medal count on the rise for local athletes Gold in wrestling, kayak, baseball, and softball at Canada Summer Games contributed

Heavy medal continues to rain down on Maple Ridge as six local athletes celebrated with gold, silver, and bronze medals at the Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Que. Payten Smith continued her three -year undefeated streak in wrestling with a decisive win over Ontario’s Laura Barr in the female 90-kilogram division. Smith, the 16-year-old female captain of Team’ B.C., made quick work of Barr, pinning her in under 20 seconds to capture the gold medal. It was Smith’s second win over the Ontario wrestler as she defeated Barr during Team B.C.’s preliminary round match. Smith pinned Rebecca Sparrow of Newfoundland in the semi-final reach the finals. None of Smith’s matches at the Canada Games lasted more than one minute. On the boy’s side, Cameron Hicks collected his second silver medal of the week thanks to a strong performance in the male 42 kg division. Hicks won a tightly contested 3-1 decision over Kieran Akhtar of Saskatchewan to move on to the finals. Hicks then dropped a close 3-0 match to Ontario’s Marco Guido Palermo. The final was a repeat of their bout during the team competition, where Hicks dropped a 3-1 decision. Teammate Cod Osborn picked up his second medal of the games when he defeated Vince Kuilboer of Alberta to capture bronze in the 63kg division. Osborn narrowly lost out on the chance to fight for gold when he lost a tight 3-1 contest to Lucas Hoffert of Saskatchewan in the semi finals. Despite the loss, Osborn was able to bounce back after a half hour’s rest to claim the bronze.

Canoe/Kayak Maple Ridge’s Brian Malfesi won a gold medal Tuesday, Aug. 13 in the men’s K1 1,000 metre event. Malfesi cruised to victory in a time of three minutes and 51.53 seconds, beating his closest competitor by more than one second. The gold is his second of the 2013 games, as Malfesi took

Payten Smith of Team B.C. pins Ontario’s Laura Barr in 20 seconds to win gold at Canada Summer Games. Smith, from Maple Ridge, hasn’t lost in three years. home a silver in the men’s K1 500 m event on Monday, Aug. 12. The 19-year-old Malfesi is a fourtime K1 National Champion and had won bronze at the 2009 Canada Summer Games in the men’s K2 200m event. “It’s really great to kick things off for Team BC at these Games,” said Malfesi, a graduate of Garibaldi and current student at Simon Fraser University. “Week two is looking good and I hope to continue to represent my team well.”

Baseball Maple Ridge’s Andre Pelletier and Kyle Ross lead Team B.C. to gold after a resounding 5-0 win over Ontario in Friday’s final. Team B.C. hammered Ontario’s starting pitcher Alec Miller for five runs in the opening inning and never looked back. Miller was yanked after recording just two outs in the first. Pelletier went 0-3 in the final game, scoring in the first. Pelletier went 6-21 for a .286 avg. during

the tournament, scoring eight runs with three walks and four RBI. Ross, a left-handed pitcher with the Langley Blaze, lead team B.C. to a 10-0 win over Ontario in his only start during round robin play. He pitched five innings of three-hit baseball. Head coach Brooks McNiven said it is an amazing experience to win a championship at a national level and attributed much of the success on his team’s deep rotation and timely hitting. “The boys played hard all week and I think we were the best team

in the tournament, and we were able to show that in the end, noted McNiven, a former Olympian. “Our pitchers pitched really well all week and the offense was there, so we were able to put those two things together, and it led us to the gold medal.” B.C. made it to the finals after defeating New Brunswick 7-0 in the semi finals, a battle of the two top teams during preliminary round play.

Ridge Meadows hires Eccles as first director of hockey development by T im Fitzg e r ald contributor

The Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey Association has hired former Kelowna Rockets major midget head coach James Eccles as its firstever director of hockey development.

The deal was finalized at the RMMHA’s board of director’s meeting Monday night. Eccles said he ecstatic for the opportunity to grow hockey in the region. He said his first goal will be reach out to members of the RMMHA. “I want to get to know

as many coaches as quickly as possible and make sure we have an open door policy so we can assist them in strengthening out hockey development,” he said. Eccles said another goal will be to implement more off-ice programs starting this fall.

Eccles has ties to the area. He played his minor hockey in Abbotsford before heading to suit up with the Ridge Meadows Flames in 1996. He said he’s excited to be able to bring his own family close to his parents and grandparents. After junior B, Eccles

played four seasons at Kent State University. From their he coached for three seasons in the NCAA at State University of New York. He has also served as an assistant coach and director of scouting for the BCHL’s Westside Warriors in 2008-09. Besides being the ma-

jor midget coach for the Rockets, Eccles served as the lead instructor for Hockey Canada Skills Academy for Kelowna’s School District. He starts work Monday, Aug. 19. Try-outs are slated to start Aug. 22. Dan Herbranson, president of RMMHA, said

they are looking forward to working with Eccles “James has some challenges ahead, and these will not be achieved over night,” noted Herbranson. “However, with the dedication and desire James has already demonstrated, we feel we have the right man for the job.”

Top 15 finish for MR golfers contributed

Maple Ridge golfers Kevin Kwon and Justin Shin both finished in the top 15 at the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship in Victoria on Friday. Kwon, fresh off a win at the Canadian Junior Boy’s Championship in Sudbury, finished the tournament in a tie for 13th with a 2 over par after four rounds. Kwon, who will be suiting up for the University of Washington in the fall, will suit up for Team B.C. at the Canada Summer Games starting Wednesday, Aug. 14 to 17. He will compete in both the individual and team competition. Shin, a senior at New Mexico State, finished with a 3 over par for the event. Shin was in contention after day two of the tournament, siting at two under par and just six strokes out of first place. But a 73 in round three rounds of 73 and 72 on the final two days dropped the Swan-ESet golfer into a tie for 15th overall. Eli Cole of Beverly Hills won the tourney with a 6 under par, beating Taylor Pendrith by one stroke.

bcclassified.com MUSSALLEM, Marian

Born June 12, 1922. Passed away peacefully at Richmond Hospice, attended by friends and family, on August 4, 2013 at the age of 91. She is predeceased by her husband Peter, her son Paul, her parents Jesse and James and her siblings Jean, Ina and Jim Robinson. She is lovingly survived by her son Matthew and many nieces and nephews. Marian was born and raised in Esquimalt, British Columbia. A top student, she was one of the small number of women of her generation who went on to post-secondary education, receiving her Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree in Chemistry from UBC in 1942 and then her Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in 1944. She worked for a few years before marrying Peter Mussallem in 1946 and raising two sons. After being bitten by the travel bug, Marian embarked upon a period of world travel, ultimately visiting 38 different countries and globetrotting well into her 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Not content just to travel to a country, she carefully researched all aspects of its culture, history and geography and then, after she returned from a trip, created a short, informative slide show about the country, which she presented at public libraries and other venues. Marian was known for her generosity and for going well beyond the usual simple acts of kindness to help people. She was also an active volunteer with many different organization throughout her life, most recently with the Steveston United Church. Her keen mind, positive outlook and kind personality will always be remembered by anyone that knew her. A memorial service for Marian will be held on Saturday, August 17 at 2 p.m. at Steveston United Church, 3720 Broadway St, Richmond, BC. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the charity of your choice.

WILLIS, Marianne Gerda (Vroom) August 9, 1949-August 8, 2013 After a short but courageous battle with cancer, our dearest mom, wife and oma passed away peacefully with family at her side. Marianne is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 41 years Bob, her three children Jeff (Cathy), Kevin (Lindsey) and Mike (Erin), seven grandchildren Tyler, Logan, Hayley, Ava, Emery, Kaylin and Kylie, brothers John K, Hank (Arleen), John (Rita), and sister Stella. Marianneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family also consists of many nieces, nephews, brother/sister in-laws & friends, all of whom she cared about deeply. She is pre-deceased by her parents Jan and Trientje and her sister Anne. Born in Groningen (Netherlands), she moved to Canada at an early age with her family. Marianne graduated from St. Pauls Nursing School and married Bob, the love of her life, one year later. She had a passion for golf with her friends, fishing with Bob, travelling and spoiling her grandchildren who all loved their Oma. A celebration of Marianneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held Saturday, August 17th, 11am at Garden Hill Funeral Chapel, 11765 224th Street in Maple Ridge.
