Recyclers charged under scrap metal bylaw by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

Two scrap metal dealers have run afoul of the District of Maple Ridge’s scrap metal bylaw. Still before the courts is M. Salo and Sons Recycling Ltd., located in the Albion industrial park. Owner Michael Salo is facing two counts under the bylaw for failing to register metal that was on site. Liz Holitzki, director of licences, permits and bylaws, said the recycler was caught in a routine police check, and is accused of having metal wire on site which did not match the business records. Salo faces a fine ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. The charges have not yet been proven in court. Mike Salo has twice been given adjournments in order to allow his lawyer time to review his case. see Metal, p14

The Golden Eagle Group has installed another pipe along the Alouette River, but without full approval.

An Aquilini farm company still hasn’t paid a fine due in January for Water Act infractions. What’s more, the parent company, Golden Eagle Group, was recently cited for another infraction related to using the North Alouette River to irrigate berry crops.

A numbered company owned by the Aquilini Investment Group – the same family that owns the Vancouver Canucks NHL franchise and Rogers Arena – was fined $55,000 for a Water Act violation committed in 2009, when it used river water to save droughtstricken crops in a field west of 216th Street. The company pumped four to five million litres of water from the North Alouette River onto the crops, before it had received final government approval. The company later received a wa-

ter licence for the same property. Of the fine, $1,000 was a traditional fine and $54,000 was to be paid to an environmental fund known as the Heritage Conservation Trust Foundation. The local conservation group ARMS, the Alouette River Management Society, inquired about the funds. The group wanted to apply for money to put toward a local project, such as salmonid habitat enhancement on the North Alouette River system. ARMS executive director Greta Borick-Cunningham was sur-

prised to learn that the fine has not yet been paid. “It’s been eight months now.” When the Heritage Conservation Trust received ARMS’ request, executive director Brian Springinotic made enquiries as to the availability of the $54,000 from the Aquilini group, and found the funds have not been received. He has since made contact with the Ministry of the Attorney General to determine how to proceed. His agency was once an arm of government. see Fine, p11

Ridge fire chief leaving after 30 years S tor y by Neil Corbett

aple Ridge is losing one of its fire chiefs. Chief Peter Grootendorst gave notice last week that he will be leaving the department after 30 years in Maple Ridge. The 56-year-old is not retiring, but moving on to a position at the Justice Institute of British Columbia, which is responsible for all firefighter training in the province. He will be the director of the Fire and Safety Division, working out of an office in New Westminster, and will coordinate the delivery of all fire training in B.C. It is a full-time position, beginning Oct. 1. Grootendorst first came to the Maple Ridge department as a volunteer firefighter. His full-time job then was as a landscaper. He said the fire department was a close group, with strong social connections. “I really enjoyed my time as a volunteer,” he said. Based on the work he did as a volunteer, Grootendorst was hired as a career firefighter, becoming the district of Maple Ridge’s first full-time training officer, hired for the position in 1989. He was hired by Chief Pat Brooks. In 1998, he was named fire chief, and he and fellow chief Dane Spence have overseen “huge changes” in the department. It transitioned from a department with paid on-call firefighters to what they call a composite model, with a core of full-time career firefighters, complemented by paid-on call “volunteers.” Smaller communities have volunteers with perhaps a full-time chief, while cities like Vancouver hire career firefighters and don’t have paid on-call members. Maple Ridge has both.

“The department has grown along with the community, and the community is well served with the model it has.”

This summer the district reviewed its fire services staffing, and Grootendorst told councillors that when six new firefighters are hired over the next two years, the department will have 54 full-time members, who will be backed up by 60-65 on-call firefighters. “The department has grown

On Monday, September 16 the pool at the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre will reopen after the annual maintenance shutdown. As we noted a few weeks ago, this year much of the work focused on the infrastructure of the building that is unseen by our customers. It’s great to have the pools all cleaned and refilled and it’s back to business on Monday morning. On Monday, September 9 our users of the fitness areas got to see the equipment replacements that are part of the regular maintenance program. We’ve been getting great feedback so far. We thank all of our customers for their patience as we do this important work to keep our facility up to date for all users. We look forward to seeing everyone back at the pool and starting our fall lessons and swim programs. We are very proud to help you achieve your fitness goals.

A fully automatic Galil assault rifle, a Sten machine gun, an AK-47 assault rifle, a Glock 17 handgun and an M1 carbine were among 33 firearms seized in a June bust by Coquitlam RCMP. A Maple Ridge man now faces more than 50 criminal charges. Police claim Marc Wisdom, 41, was selling weapons to criminals. Wisdom has been charged with 26 counts that are firearms- and ammunition-related, 20 counts for possession of prohibited devices and four counts of possession of prohibited weapons. The charges stem from a June 12 raid in which Mounties executed four search warrants at locations in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Maple Ridge, Insp. Paulette Freill said at

Ingrid Rice

Fine into overtime Pitt Meadows farming company Golden Eagle and its parent company Aquilini Investment Group should be embarrassed. We learned this week that a fine levied against the organization for Water Act infractions has been overdue since January. The immediate reaction is that the family whose many assets include the Vancouver Canucks NHL fanchise and Rogers Centre arena, a company worth billions, can’t pay a fine that would cover their water boy’s salary. We cannot say that the fine went deliberately unpaid, considering the many disbursements that the company undoubtedly pays every month. However, the fact that the courthouse recieved a payment of $1,000 for the “fine” portion of its penalty, while leaving unpaid the $54,000 that is considered “creative sentencing” for environmental stewardship, at least leaves the appearance that this amount was deemed less critical to pay. A system that allowed this sentence to go unfilled for so long bears scrutiny. A better solution would have been for creative sentencing portion of the fine to be directed toward a local conservation group – the Alouette River Management Society (ARMS) immediately leaps to mind. The group argued this should have been the case at the time of sentencing. Undoubtedly, the small non-profit organization would have been vigilant in ensuring that Golden Eagle paid its debt to society. It was inquiries by ARMS that spurred the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation to inquire about the fine. One has to wonder if would have fallen through the cracks were that not the case. How many other corporate interests have stickhandled around fines levied by courts? When this happens, whether by deliberate inaction or by misremembering, the penalty should be revisited and compounded. – The News Tell us what you think @ www.mapleridgenews.com

n Sept. 1, GETI Fest, the Golden Ears Transition Initiative’s community festival, will showcase activities of young Along the Fraser people that enrich Maple Ridge and Pitt Jack Emberly Meadows. “Youth in our Community,” at Memorial Peace Park, celebrates youth contributions, and encourages more young people to help shape a self-reliant town less dependent on fossil fuels. Kiersten Duncan, 19, already has a record of proactive community involvement. Duncan ran unsuccessfully in the last municipal election, but succeeded in projecting the passion and ideals of youth in our area. At GETI Fest, she’ll be volunteer coordinator, a role she’s performed for Country Fest. Kiersten is a member of GETI’s recently formed youth coalition committee, a student focus on environmental and social goals. “The committee is a chance for youth to get involved with GETI and with other youth,” says Kiersten. “Many young people have ideas that can positively impact the community, but don’t always have the support to make them possible. As an older youth in a mentorship role, I’m able to speak from my own experiences.”

uestion of the week:

Sean Okawa, a Grade 12 Thomas Haney secondary student, is a younger member the youth coalition. At GETI Fest, he’ll display an origami board (recycled paper) he made, showing animals thriving within an urban setting. “I wanted to show eagles, black bears, birds and other animals living in harmony with towns and people,” says 14 year-old Sean, who constructed the origami himself after researching the process on the internet. Advocating for the environment and sustainable community practice is not new for Sean. When he was in Grade 5 he entered a writing contest that GETI and I held for students. His winning story, Planet X, was a sequel to The Giant With Two Heads Who Hated Being Big, a tale I wrote to introduce kids to the role of fossil fuel consumption in climate change. Peak and Climo, my rampaging, two-headed giant with a bad temper, had a gluttonous appetite for unhealthy foods – especially beast crisps, produced in coal-burning factories and trucked across the land. In Planet X, Sean’s sequel, PeakClimo began life as a big, but friendly one-headed fellow who fled his polluted world for Earth when it was still free of life-threatening green house gases. Subsequently, poisonous air and water here, and a diet of too many beast crisps and other artificial foods caused him to mutate. It’s doing that to us, too. Just look around. Sean, however, knew what to do. He connected PeakClimo with Gramps and Jake, two farmers who put him onto a diet of clean water and locally grown, pesticidefree vegetables like those at the farmer’s

market. In time, Peak and Climo returned to their natural bodies with pink complexions and renewed purpose. They began to actively campaign for sustainable agriculture and responsible industry in the quiet valley town of Westville. “The giant story inspired me to get involved in the transition town movement,” says Sean. “I wanted to tell about the importance of growing your own food, and that we all have to work together. Every small effort counts.” Sean and Kiersten will be busy as bees on Saturday, but with luck you’ll see them buzzing around as flies in my environmental play, which will be performed again this year. I Read It in the Fish and Flies News will be performed on the Main Stage. Christian Cowley of the Ceed Centre is Sticky, a tiny stickleback – fish of ‘no economic value.’ Being demeaned and devalued is depressing. Sticky talks of leaving the North Alouette River, and swimming to sea with the chum smolts. This suicidal idea – he’s smaller and weaker than chum – is discouraged by Sticky’s pal, Pointy (Janet Amsden), and Dr. Bluefish (Craig Speirs), a stream ecologist who helps Sticky discover his key role in a stream ecosystem. “Sticky, don’t go!” pleads his many supporters. Will you add your voice to theirs on Saturday to encourage little Sticky, our mutual friend, to stay forever? Jack Emberly is a retired teacher, local author and environmentalist.

This week’s question: Should Maple Ridge have two full-time fire chiefs?

The News/letters Confusing defense How to keep summer goin’ from lawyer

Editor, The News: Re: Trial begins for driver who killed Pitt couple (The News, Sept. 11). Two innocent people were killed by an erratic driver who only had her ‘N’ class driver’s licence. And her lawyer’s only defence is that there is poor lighting and confusing signage on the highway leading up to that intersection. Seriously? Thousands of people drive through that intersection every day without begin confused. Maybe her confusion resulted in her driving in a dangerous and overly aggressive fashion. This is what happens when lawyers have no defense and must grasp at straws. It’s too bad the Crown has to work so hard to prove the obvious. There should be no benefit of the doubt here. Now we must spend thousands of taxpayers’ dollars to prove what we already know. Two people from loving families will never be able to embrace or be embraced by their relatives again because of one young lady’s momentary lapse of reason. And she’s trying to argue, with the help of her lawyer, that the lighting and the signage were confusing? And the most embarrassing argument of all from her lawyer – that someone might not know that a right turn lane must turn right? My driving instructor taught me that if confusion sets in while driving, then you slow down and gauge your options, and you do it in a concise manner, because at that point you have to realize that if you start losing control of your vehicle, you might be turning it into a weapon. Her lawyer is not defending his client, he’s embarrassing her. Mike Tuzzi Maple Ridge

Subsidy for crops? Editor, The News: Re: Why are residents fighting to keep farmland? (Letters, Sept. 6). The letter from Sandie Banni gives some really solid reasons why every effort should be made to preserve every bit of arable land there is in this province. The capability for California to be able to supply produce for our province is and will be limited from here and into the future, because of the reasons she mentioned. In the course of time, produce will take up a greater part of the family income (I believe this country has one of the lowest grocery costs in the world), as land becomes less and less available. There can be no compromise (as authorities tend to continue to do ). A line must be drawn in the sand. This letter should be mandatory reading by all civil authorities and inwardly digested, and with the endorsement of Ms. Banni, I would like to send a written copy to each of the ALC directors and our premier. If population levels continue in an upward direction, I think the level of comfortable living standards will decline correspondingly, not only in this little part of the planet, but everywhere. Motherhood issues, instinctively recognized as true and needed, part of the most basic need in sustaining life, are ignored or put aside, because people cannot see a solution. I can only see one incentive to keep the remaining arable land away from housing, and that would be to alter the tax structure in favour of crop production. If that is called a subsidy, then so be it. Michael Buckingham Pitt Meadows

Could I live here? Sipping a bowl of coffee at 11 a.m. on a sidewalk patio, I wondered: Wouldn’t it be great to live in Montreal all the time? How about Gulf Island living? Maybe buy a boat, a kayak? Learn to sculpt or paint? Write crime novels? Browsing the local real estate listings is a common symptom of this state of mind. For most, it’s pure fantasy. A chance to briefly inhabit another life, if only in their mind. The rational, left brain is put into neutral. That’s the boring side that, when the time comes, is only too happy to remind us that our heads are in the clouds. That we’re seeing life through a summer lens, a time when life everywhere is different. Come back to Montreal in December, it sneers, when that sidewalk patio is buried under a freshly ploughed snow. And you think the Gulf Islands are peaceful now? Try January when it’s as quiet as the interior of an abandoned mine shaft. But, hey, we all need to float a little sometimes. And when September returns, and we get back to our routines, many of us wish we could just float a little longer. Who knows? Maybe, like my dad’s trick, with a little practice, it just might be possible. Chris Bryan is editor of the Burnaby NewsLeader, a Black Press affiliate.

Heart hurts for Doc

Tina Ranger and Doc did endurance rides together.

‘Science not really science’ should be questioned

THE NEWS/files

Editor, The News: Doc ‘As Noted,’ May 7, 1997 – Sept. 5, 2013. My buddy, my steady confident companion left this earth in a tragic flash of lightning, and my heart hurts for the loss. I met Doc after his sevenyear career as a harness race horse. I volunteered at Greener Pastures after the loss of my previous horse, Cleo, to remain connected with horses. Greener Pastures is a registered non-profit charitable organization that finds homes for Standardbreds donated by racing owners. (http://www.greener-pastures.ca). I was the first to ride Doc. He stood still, gave me his trust and over the past several years did so time and time again. He survived a serious injury while trail riding that

required lengthy stall rest and much care. He also survived being swept one way down the river while I went the other, and he survived the race track. Sadly, he did not survive lightning. Mainly, Doc was my big animal friend. I could take anywhere, trust with anyone, including small children. We did endurance rides with success, went camping, trail riding, and he was learning to jump. If he were a human, he would have been the best kind of human. The best tribute to my boy would be to donate to an organization that helps horses or adopt a horse from one. There are great people and places that take in these horses, and need your help. Tina C. Ranger Maple Ridge

Editor, The News: Re: Evolution is magical, medieval sorcery (Acts of Faith, Sept. 6). Just want to say how much I enjoyed this Acts of Faith article and that I’m in complete agreement with it’s author. I see a lot of people are upset by it, but kudos to The News for allowing it to run. Science that isn’t really science should not go unquestioned. B. Light Pitt Meadows

turn.” She too insisted the Toyota was speeding. “I thought the car was going at 120 kilometres [an hour],” Devries said. Once the light turned green, Devries drove her truck across the intersection and pulled over. She instantly knew the couple in the smashed Suzuki had not survived the impact. “The vehicle was crushed and we could tell no one was OK,” she said. Hecimovic was about a kilometre from her home on Meadow Gardens Way when she crashed. Family and friends of Dyer and De Oliveira filled the court room to hear testimony from witnesses who saw Hecimovic driving aggressively. Dyer’s mother Debbie acknowledged it must have been hard to be cross examined by Hecimovic’s lawyer. “I am amazed at the witnesses,” said Dyer. “I guess when you see something so horrific, it never leaves you. My thanks to all of them.” Crown expects to conclude its case on Friday following testimony from an accident reconstructionist. Defence arguments are expected to begin next week.

The temperature soared to a summer-like 32.3 C on Wednesday, setting a new Sept. 11 temperature record for the area. The previous high for the day was 29.9 C, set in 2011. Tuesday was also unseasonably warm, with a high of 27.5 C at the Pitt Meadows Airport, and the warm weather is expected to continue, with a high of 27 C today and 29 C on Saturday.

However, after restructuring, the Heritage Conservation Trust is now a “small not-forprofit” agency, he said. Collection procedures could be effected by the change. “In our opinion, this is a debt owing to us,” said Springinotic. Golden Eagle spokesman John Negrin said he too was surprised by the outstanding payment. “My understanding is it was paid when the case was solved,” he said. The Port Coquitlam Provincial Court registry confirmed the $1,000 fine was paid, but not the $54,000 that was to go to the conservation trust. Springinotic confirmed ARMS is on the right track – the Heritage Conservation Trust would consider funding an aquatic project in the area where the offence took place. Recently, Golden Eagle was cited for another infraction. The company has submitted an application for a water licence to pump water from Blaney Creek to use for irrigating cranberry fields in Pitt Meadows. James Davies, a regional hydrologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources, said the company has received approval for short-term water use from the creek, with an interim allowance that will expire in January 2014. Blaney is a small channel that runs into the North Alouette River. He said the company “jumped the gun” when it built a pipe across a dike adjacent to the creek without the required approvals under the Dike Maintenance Act. However, that is mitigated by the diking authority – the City of Pitt Meadows – having no complaint with the pipe, said Davies. “It’s under review. We’ll be doing some follow-up on that,” said Davies, noting the com-

pany has been informed. “Yes, it is a contravention. [The company] has not been formally charged.” He added that the pipe has gravel on either side to allow a vehicle to drive over it, but the sides are too steep, creating an obstacle. “It’s acting like a very large speed bump,” said Davies. City of Pitt Meadows operations superintendent Randy Evans said Golden Eagles has done a better job than typical farmers who use surface water to irrigate crops. The company has built reservoirs, and its permit allows it to pump water only during high tide. At that time, the system is fully charged, and removing water has little effect. The reservoirs allow the company to store water, using it for irrigation as needed. “They’ve done it better than most,” said Evans. He said the property owners have rights – they have obtained the right to the water, and they own the land the dike is on. The municipality’s authority only concerns maintaining the integrity of the diking system. The pipe is located near the older intake that got an Aquilini company into regulatory trouble in 2009. In her sentencing, judge Deidre Pothecary noted the Aquilini Group has a history of regulatory offences. These include excavating an aboriginal site that dated back to before European contact, unlawful discharges from a dairy farm, doing dike works without permission and WorkSafeBC infractions, such as having farm workers riding on a flatbed truck. The Aquilinis are one of B.C.’s wealthiest families, with assets estimated at $5 billion, including some 5,000 acres of farmland in Pitt Meadows.

Ridge voyeur fights assault charge But Glen Berry pleads no contest to sexual assault and spying on ex by Monisha M ar t ins staff reporter

A Maple Ridge man who secretly recorded his ex-girlfriend with a spy camera and sexually assaulted her took the stand in his defence Friday during a trial in New Westminster Supreme Court. Glen Allen Berry is charged with one count each of sexual assault and three counts each of secretly observing and recording nudity in a private place, but is not contesting the charges at a trial. He has chosen to fight only one charge - the less serious one of common assault. Berry, 49, told the court that his relationship with the victim had ended a few days before he allegedly attacked her

on Sept. 23, 2010. He was still living with her in Maple Ridge at the time. That night, he discovered his ex-girlfriend had been to see a counsellor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found a piece of paper that showed she has been receiving counselling,â&#x20AC;? said Berry, admitting he was drinking that night, but denies consuming cocaine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little upset that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of it.â&#x20AC;? Berry claims he went into his ex-girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedroom in an effort to find out why she had been to a counsellor. He said he was just being caring and concerned. The woman was asleep when he entered the room, but woke up and told Berry to leave. Berry left the room, but promptly returned and found the bedroom door closed. He said he tried to open it, but realized something was behind it. He denied kicking it open. When Berry opened the door, he realized his

girlfriend was trying to hold it shut. He claimed she started the fight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She started pushing me around the room,â&#x20AC;? said Berry, adding he only grabbed her wrists to stop her from shoving him. He claimed he eventually picked his girlfriend up and put her on her bed so he could leave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the end of it,â&#x20AC;? said Berry. The altercation frightened Berryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-girlfriend, who fled her house later that night. She escaped after Berry fell asleep, and reported the assault to police. Police photographed bruises on arm and chest and a scratch on her chest. She also had a sore wrist and back. Berry denied he caused the injuries when questioned by Crown prosecutor Janet Dickie. Pacing back and forth, Dickie grilled Berry during cross-examination, saying he had no business being in his ex-girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The accused evidence ought to be rejected

as entirely self-serving and unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? said Dickie in her closing arguments, adding the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injuries were consistent with someone who was assaulted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, his evidence indicates he was angry. There is no reasonable doubt here and the court should register a conviction.â&#x20AC;? Berryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer, Adi Glouberman, insisted her client had acted in self-defence. She said the ex-girlfriend was upset about the end of their relationship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Berry] was unshaken with respect to his version of events,â&#x20AC;? Glouberman told the court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was assaulted. His actions only came about to avoid her assaults.â&#x20AC;? As Berry is not contesting the charges of voyeurism and sexual assault, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Heather Holmes will register convictions on those counts. He is scheduled to return to court for a judgement in October.

Mission Mountie sentenced for off-duty bar brawl Gets conditional discharge by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

A Mountie from Mission has been sentenced for punching two RCMP officers during an off-duty fight outside a Pitt Meadows bar. Sgt. Miriam Orynthia Jean Dickson got a conditional discharge and one year of probation after Dickson admitting she assaulted the officers two years ago. A former police spokeswoman, Dickson was charged in 2012 with two counts of assaulting a peace officer and one count each of resisting arrest and causing a disturbance. The charges stem from an “altercation” that took place outside Rooster’s Country Cabaret shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday, June 3, 2012. Ridge Meadows

RCMP allege Dickson got in an argument with a man after leaving the bar. Two uniformed RCMP officers, who were already patrolling the parking lot, intervened and tried to diffuse the situation, but were assaulted by her. She was arrested and taken to cells. RCMP conducted an internal investigation and Dickson was assigned to administrative duties after being charged. D i c k s o n worked in Maple Ridge before being transferred to Mission. A conditional discharge is a sentence in which an accused may be found guilty of an offence but no conviction is registered against them (in other words, they will have no criminal record). A conditional discharge stays on an offender’s criminal record for three years after the completion of the probation order.

Scrap metal dealers must require valid ID “It has certainly made a big difference in CAC, in the way they do business,” she said. Scrap metal dealers have faced new regulations in recent years, aimed at curbing a black market for wire, car parts, sewer grates and other stolen metal. Under provincial law, scrap dealers must require valid ID from sellers and share purchase details with police. Also, they can no longer pay cash for scrap for amounts above $50, and must now pay by cheque instead. The district’s more stringent bylaw requires dealers to record the ID of those who bring in scrap metal, hold on to goods for a week before reselling them, and to notify police daily of metal purchased. In 2010, 911 emergency service was cut off to more than 500 residents in east Maple Ridge after thieves stole copper telephone lines along 272nd Street. Earlier that year, three commemorative bronze plaques on the Pitt River Bridge, weighing more than 600 pounds combined, were stolen and later turned up at a scrap metal dealer, cut into more than 30 pieces. In September 2010, more than $13,000 of copper wiring was stripped from a closed down sawmill on River Road. According to Telus, the new regulations are making a difference. The company had 241 incidents of cable being stolen in June of 2012, but that dropped to 12 in July and one in August, after provincial regulations came into effect.

Her father, Dennis, was eventually approved as her donor, and in August 2010, Grace received a new kidney after surgery

at B.C. Children’s Hospital. Now Grace and her family’s fight is being recognized as the eightyear-old has been named the 2013-14 Champion Child, presented by a Children’s Miracle Network program that honours children who overcome severe medical challenges. Grace’s mother said her family was overwhelmed when they found out the news. “We really do live dayto-day and we’re thankful that someone else has recognized us,” said Melissa, who home schools Grace because she still battles immune deficiencies. “We’re very grateful.” Grace continues her post-transplant care at B.C. Children’s Hospital. However, she will eventually need another kidney transplant. For now, her family is focusing on acting as ambassadors for B.C. Children’s Hospital. Melissa said the one of the most important factors in Grace’s recovery was the care they received at B.C. Children’s Hospitals. She said being able to remain close to home helped both during treatment and recovery periods. It was a very emo-

tional, intense, and long recovery,” said Melissa. “The ability for Grace to receive treatment in our home province, so close to home, was crucial for us. If we had to leave the province for treatment would have be extremely difficult and really tears at the fabric of the family and makes it difficult to cope.” As B.C.’s representative in the Champions program, Grace, along with her parents and younger brother Calym, will travel with 11 other Canadian Champion children in Toronto. The group will then head to Orlando, Florida, to join the 50 American Champion children and their families at the Children’s Miracle Network annual event. Melissa said because of Grace’s illness, the family hasn’t been able to travel. “The kids don’t want to start a countdown too soon, they’re going to wait until a week out.” Children’s Miracle Network is a not-for-profit organization that helps kids by raising funds for 170 children’s hospitals across North America. In Canada, Children’s Miracle Network raises funds for 14 children’s hospitals, and has raised more than $200 million since its inception.

Support a cause, and support your own health

eptember is Alzheimer’s month. Like any public relations campaign, the purpose of designating a month of the year to a specific disease is to offer a focused opportunity for all services and support organizations related to that particular disease to pool their advertising funds and offer both awareness and education. Sept. 21 is actually Alzheimer’s Action Day, and many organizations will hold charitable events or make themselves visible in the community through information booths or other activities intended to generate greater awareness in the public. There are many diseases, of course, and many months and days designated to provide insight into them and request support for research that is going on to eradicate them. There’s rarely a Satur-

do believe there are spiritual aspects of thought and meditation that reduce the need for drug interventions in some cases. As we learn more about how the brain works, we’ll find

that there are scientific reasons for the curative effects of such spiritual thinking and perhaps we’ll lessen our dependence on external drugs and increase our ability to fire up our own inter-

nal healing systems. What we do know is that one of the key elements of personal health is exercise and, thus, if we walk in every local event that supports a particular health cause, we’ll probably be a lot more fit and healthy. That alone is a good

reason to have days and months dedicated to various health topics. Support a cause, and support your own good health in doing so. It just makes sense. Graham Hookey writes on education, parenting and eldercare (ghookey@yahoo.com).

Newspapers balk at MMBC plan, eye own system Black Press

It’s not just cities resisting the new recycling system for packaging coming to B.C. The print newspaper industry – which is supposed to be part of the expanded blue box system – is also at odds with Multi-Material B.C. after a falling out last year over how they would pay their share of the costs of collecting old newspapers and flyers. MMBC, an industry stewardship group made up of major retailers and producers, is set to take responsibility for collecting and recycling packaging of all sorts by next May as a result of new provincial regulations. It has promised to let interested municipalities continue to run their own recycling operations by acting as contractor, if that’s what they prefer. Newspapers Canada president John Hinds said the newspaper firms originally intended to make their contribution through in-kind advertising. But he said MMBC has since deMaple MapleRidge Maple RidgeEmployment Ridge Employment Employment Services Services Services Centre CentreCentre manded they pay 75 per cent in cash 170-22470 170-22470 170-22470 Dewdney Dewdney Dewdney Trunk TrunkRoad, Trunk Road,Maple Road, MapleRidge, Maple Ridge,B.C.

Sun and The Province. Hinds said the entire industry pulled out of MMBC last year and is re-evaluating its options, which could include having newspaper carriers take back newsprint for recycling, or hiring other contractors to create a new collection or depot system. “Our real option is to do our own system,” Hinds said. “We have a very sophisticated one-way delivery system that nearly goes to every house in B.C.” He said MMBC has sought to shift costs to newspaper firms because it’s “very much biased” in favour of huge retailers like Walmart and Loblaw and other multinational producers of packaged goods that are solely interested in minimizing their outlay, not best environmental practices for B.C. Hinds said newspaper publishing representatives continue talks with MMBC while lobbying the province. A splintering of the system with newspaper firms trying to retrieve newsprint could have wider implications, because newspaper is among the more profitable materials to recycle, unlike some other packaging materials. The estimated cost of MMBC’s system is $110 million but Hinds warns that could run higher, especially if it leads to inefficient parallel systems being run by MMBC, some cities and perhaps newspaper groups. “The sad part about this is you’re going to recreate a whole new system,” Hinds said.

VICTORIA – Energy Minister Bill Bennett has denied reports that B.C. Hydro rates are poised to go up more than 26 per cent in the next two years. Bennett was peppered with questions Wednesday after one of B.C. Hydro’s unions released an internal B.C. Hydro document suggesting a 19 per cent rate increase next year and another six per cent the following year. The compounding effect would produce an increase of 26.4 per cent over two years. Bennett said the document was prepared for a ministry committee working with B.C. Hydro on electricity rates, and has been revised three times since the leaked version was

He said the committee has found ways to reduce the rate increases needed to cover extensive construction and other costs for the utility, but he wouldn’t put a number on the prospective rate increases. The work includes identifying 19 independent power projects

whose power purchase agreements are to either be cancelled or deferred. NDP energy critic John Horgan said B.C. Liberal interference has led to the current situation. “Expensive private power contracts, billions in Hydro debt hidden in deferral accounts, a sidelining of the inde-

pendent B.C. Utilities Commission, an 84 per cent cost overrun on the Northwest Transmission Line,” Horgan said. “There is no question that the Liberal government has mismanaged B.C. Hydro.” Bennett acknowledged that the government’s 2011 intervention to cap rate increases below four per cent for two years has increased the pressure on today’s rates. B.C. Hydro had been proposing rate hikes of more than nine per cent for 2012 and 2013. “I think we are feeling the impact of decades of difficult decisions by successive governments, Socreds, NDP, BC Liberal,” Bennett said. “All of us have difficulty looking the ratepayer directly in the eye and saying, by the way, we’re going to increase your rates by X.”

Celebrity Reflection

Fewer young people are buying cars S core, and much of the rest is car-dependent. The district’s goal is to have 50 per cent of all development happen in the core. It’s a good idea for youth to start thinking about these and other issues that affect the way they will live in the cities of the future, and to get involved and make their voices heard. And this is just what is starting to happen right now in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. In recent months, a number of youth have been working with Gerry Pinel, founder of GETI (Golden Ears Transition Initiative), which serves as an umbrella for various action groups in the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, with a focus on making the necessary changes to be able to deal with future challenges related to climate change, the global financial meltdown and peak oil. Together with Gerry, an enthusiastic group of youth is setting up their own GETI Youth Action Group. This year’s GETI Fest, on Sept. 21 (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.), has “Youth in our Community” as its theme. There will be displays and activities showcasing local youth, community groups, artisans and

local businesses working towards reducing oil dependence and building resilient local communities that are economically, socially and ecologically sustainable. So I would encourage any youth who are not already planning to be involved in GETI Fest, through their school or youth groups, to come out to the event and see what it’s all about. If you don’t want to depend on a parent (and on oil) to get yourself to the event, just use your bike. HUB is providing bike parking in the enclosed area beside the day care room in the Leisure Centre. We will also have a bike decorating station (10–11 a.m.), to get ready for this year’s bigger and better People

in Motion parade. Anything non-fossil-fuel powered goes. Staging for the parade starts at 10:30 a.m., and we’ll start walking, dancing, cycling, rollerblading at 11 a.m. Between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. HUB will run a bike rodeo to teach kids the rules of the road. We have two small bikes (and two helmets) for kids who are not able to bring their own. New for this year: the RCMP Crime Prevention Unit will be at the event, engraving names and driver’s license numbers on bikes for identification if ever stolen.

omething interesting that I read about this week: according to a survey done in the Netherlands earlier this year, nine per cent of respondents got rid of their cars last year to save money, to cope with the effects of the financial crisis. Like in many other countries, the car is a bit of a status symbol in the Netherlands, so I think this is quite amazing. But a car is such a money guzzler, and not having one makes a huge difference to your pocketbook. Isn’t it nice if you have options other than the car, like the Dutch do? Here in North America we have a long way to go before we can (or want to) ditch our cars. There is, however, an interesting development, even on our continent, that fewer young people are choosing to spend their money on a car, which was, until not too long ago, considered their ticket to freedom. This decision is made for a variety of reasons, such as the fact that many of them prefer to live in an urban setting, where more frequent transit, better cycling infrastructure and shorter distances for walking and biking make it easier to get around than in the suburbs. Also, much of their socializing is done on-line, so they can just stay home and meet their friends that way. Many young people also choose not to get a driver’s licence and buy a car because of the huge cost involved. The cost of insurance for young drivers has skyrocketed, and the cost of gas is steadily going up as well. On average, Canadian households spend about 20 per cent of their income on owning and operating automobiles. The car takes an even bigger chunk out of the average income of young people, so it makes sense that they’re not as interested in their ‘ticket to freedom’ as the older generations once were. If future generations are to be able to cope with the many challenges ahead, one would hope that these trends are considered in the way we allow our cities to grow, so that people are able to make the choice not to own a car. In Maple Ridge, we’ve been hearing lots about the success of the Town Centre Incentive Program in absolute numbers. But percentage-wise, in 2012, only 11 per cent of growth took place in the town

Waterside living in Yaletown with Pacific Point By Kerry Vital

Yaletown is one of Vancouver’s most popular and vibrant neighbourhoods, with some of the best shopping, dining and recreation in the city. Now Bosa Development is staking its claim in the area with Pacific Point, a former rental building that Nat Bosa purchased and turned into luxury condominiums. Every suite has been completely renovated, with new appliances, new decor and new plumbing.

“It’s rare that Nat Bosa puts his name to something,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects. “This is one of those rare opportunities. This is the first thing that has caught his eye in a long time ... he fell in love with the location.” There are 214 condos in the building, ranging from 450 to 1,680 square feet. “Response has been overwhelming for Pacific Point,” says Bosa Sales and Marketing Manager Lisa Murrell. “There simply isn’t anything like it in Vancouver.”

Homeowners will enjoy the amazing views of False Creek, George Wainborn Park, David Lam Park, English Bay and downtown Vancouver, as well as the easy access to everything Yaletown has to offer. Restaurants, nightlife and shopping are right on the doorstep, as well as the seawall and transit. Homes are move-in ready and start at $344,900. For more information, visit www.pacificpointcondos.com, call 604-6850855 or visit the sales centre at 1323 Homer Street any day except Fridays, from noon to 5 p.m.

of SeaWall, several beaches and acres upon acres of green space, Stanley Park is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. It also holds several dining spots, the Vancouver Aquarium, Malkin Bowl, a pitch-and-putt golf course, a pool and a water spray park, among other attractions. If indoor pursuits are more your forte, you’ll find plenty to love in Vancouver with its array of arts and cultural opportunities. From the Queen Elizabeth Theatre to the Vancouver Art Gallery to the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology, you’ll find plenty of options for whatever you’re in the mood for. Sports fans aren’t left out either with the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena or the B.C. Lions or Vancouver Whitecaps at B.C. Place. Perhaps some fine dining is on the menu; a wish that Vancouver has no problem fulfilling. Picking a great restaurant can be as easy as choosing a neighbourhood and taking a walk around. You may find your new favourite dining spot completely by accident.

Speaking of neighbourhoods, each one has its own style. Kitsilano, with its trendy shops, dining and the famous Kits Beach, is a haven for healthy living. Among the homes here is Kits360, a condominium development that gives residents access to every amenity that Kits has to offer along with gorgeous homes. If sophisticated living is what you crave, you’ll find the perfect home at Bosa Development’s Pacific Point in Yaletown. Pacific Point has gorgeous views of False Creek and downtown Vancouver, making it a spectacular place to live if you want to take advantage of the vibrant lifestyle in the neighbourhood. When you need a bit of retail therapy, you’ll find plenty of places to exercise your credit card. From Granville Island with its eclectic mix of independent shops and the Public Market to the trendy South Granville area to Robson Street and its mix of high-end and budget shops, including the brand-new Canadian flagship Victoria’s Secret store, there are a variety of options for any taste.

REAL ESTATE IN MAPLE RIDGE & PITT MEADOWS

The garden that gives back By Mike Lascelle

ucked away in rural north Pitt Meadows is a seven-acre certified organic blueberry farm with another three acres of ornamental landscape that rivals any botanical garden for aesthetics.

Back in 1991, it was little more than a hayfield and a small log-cabin home – but in the mind’s eye of Sheila Martin, it had potential. She had grown up on farms in rural Saskatchewan and had developed a profound respect for preserving the land they cultivated instead of just using it, with little regard for the flora and fauna they shared it with. Sheila wanted her own children to learn this lesson first-hand, so she decided to create a sustainable berry farm and display garden which would be maintained organically, with no herbicides or pesticides, and fertilized primarily by compost generated on site. She began by creating a holding bed for the plant stock she bought out from a local nursery that was closing down. The first beds were created immediately around the residence, with more being added where a sightline or potential view presented itself – with meandering grass alleys between the overlapping beds, providing better depth or perspective. As far as design advice is concerned, Sheila suggests that people think with broader strokes and repeat plants throughout the landscape, as that eclectic botanical garden look is never found in nature. Equally important is to find out which trees, shrubs and perennials will thrive on your property and to quickly discard struggling or diseased plants, as they usually become dependent on chemical sprays or fertilizers. A few of her favourites include Davidia involucrata (Dove Tree), Weeping Giant Redwood (Sequoiadendron giganteum ‘Pendulum’), Beauty Berry (Callicarpa ‘Profusion’), Enkianthus campanulatus (Pagoda Shrub), Joe-Pye Weed (Eupatorium maculatum ‘Atropurpureum’) and Lady’s Mantle (Alchemilla mollis). Many gardeners may find that last choice a little precocious, but Sheila finds that

(Clockwise) The gardens around the central pond; rustic arbor gate entrance to blueberry fields.

it colonizes quickly (keeping the weeds at bay) and it can be cut right back after flowering (with the plant debris making excellent compost) and quickly reflushes. The other lesson she learned when designing on this scale is to never install more than you are able to maintain, as the plants will need a few years to establish themselves, during which time the weeds and blackberries can quickly overwhelm them if not kept in check. Much of the landscape is built around a great lawn and a central natural pond, the surface of which is level with the water table (many of us forget that much of Pitt Meadows is bog). This, along with the garden proper, attracts many species of birds (106 to be precise) with Cedar Waxwings feeding on leftover holly berries and

COUPON

hemlock cones, Barn Owls preying on the local mice, Wood Ducks enjoying the pond and Bald Eagles nesting on site. The fact that these, along with many other animal and amphibian species, have made her garden their home gives Sheila her greatest sense of accomplishment – as she can run a commercial blueberry farm and keep an ornamental garden without harming the environment. In her opinion, “we are only one part of the land,” and Sheila keeps those fond memories of growing up on a farm alive and well by just doing what she knows is the right thing. Mike Lascelle is a local nursery manager and gardening author (hebe_acer@hotmail.com).

Jordan Novota, left, of Maple Ridge takes the checked flag after a hard fought win over Marco Kacic in Micro Max at a Can AM sanctioned race in Chilliwack. Novota is headed to New Orleans to race in the Roto Max Challenge Grand Finals Nov. 13 to 16 after qualifying third at the Western Canadian Championships in Wharburg, AB earlier this summer.

On track to the world championships in the Big Easy Nine-year-old Jordan Novota qualifies for kart finals after strong showing in Alberta by T i m Fitzg e r ald contributor

What nine-year-old wouldn’t want his own go-kart, racing around the track at speeds of 55 miles per hour? For Jordan, the love of racing comes honestly. His father Yuri has been a fan since he can remember. A recreational racer, Yuri often brought his son to the track to watch him compete. At the age of five, Jordan started driving a go-kart on the track in Chilliwack. With hours of practice under his belt, Jordan hit the

race circuit at the age of eight and showed immediate promise. Now into his second season, the young Maple Ridge driver is headed to the world stage thanks to a third-place finish at the 2013 Western Canadian Championships in Warburg, Alta. in late July. Jordan, who drives for Birel Motorsport, will represent Canada at the Roto Max Challenge Grand Finals in New Orleans Nov. 13 to 16. The Kanaka Creek student will join 355 other racers competing at the event after more than 15,000 racers worldwide attempted to punch their ticket to the finals. For Jordan, it’s just another chance drive his passion forward. On race day, their is one aspect of driving that stands out more than anything else. “I love to pass,” says Jordan. “It’s

so much fun. I love the strategy behind it. You pick your time, judge your speed and wait for that perfect moment.” Jordan has done a ton this season. He’s registered 10 club wins in Chilliwack, as well as one top place finish in a Can-AM event. But it was his third place finish at the Western Canadian Championships that has him grinning from ear-to-ear. “I hope I can have a career in racing. If the opportunity is there, I’ll go for it.” For Yuri, his son’s early success is just one of the benefits of racing. An engineer by trade, Yuri says he’s enjoying the opportunity to spend quality time with his son as they work as a team. Kart racing has evolved over the years. Not only are the karts faster,

Development Information Meeting 14,020 kids in Maple Ridge need a community to stand behind them. Find out why. www.uwlm.ca

You are invited to attend a Development Information Meeting where representatives from Campton Services Corp. will present details on Official Community Plan Amendment and Rezoning Application (RZ/087/08)

SEPTEMBER 19, 2013 7:00 to 9:00 PM Yennadon Elementary School 23347 128th Ave, Maple Ridge The purpose of the application is to develop 23103 136th Ave, Maple Ridge into 8 - R-1 (Residential District) Lots, 25 - R-2 (Urban Residential District) Lots, 5 RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) Lots. The intention of the meeting is to seek input from area residents on the proposed amendments and address any questions which may arise. Please join us. Your thoughts are important to us.

they’re far more sophisticated, says Yuri. A GPS located on the nose of the kart allows both Jordan and his father to go over every facet of their race, analyzing data to see where time was lost and more importantly, where time can be gained. “We’re very fortunate to be able to do this,” acknowledge’s Yuri. “The important lessons come from working and connecting as a team. That’s the key. From being able to handle the highs of winning and lows of losing.” Besides improving his driving skills, his father says his son is also learning everything from mechanical aptitude to engineering. For Yuri, it’s more than just the laps around the track. “There’s a concentration level to racing that teaches focus that you don’t get with most sports. It de-

mands your full attention, and at this age I think that’s a very important skill,” says Yuri. He said the slightest mistake on the track can cost a racer one thousandth of a second and can be the difference between winning and losing. Yuri said while he’s past on his love of the sport to his son, Jordan has relied benefited from a number of others involved with the sport, including Blake, Bryce, and Don Choquer and Chris Black, all of whom have acted as mentors and coaches. Both father and son are enjoying collecting their trophies and spending their time together on the road. “We’re having the times of our lives,” says Yuri. “We’ll see how long it goes on. For now, we’re just savouring the memories.”

A good night’s sleep key to fighting obesity N ow that children are back in school and schedules have changed from the less structured summer holiday to the whirlwind of fall activity, both kids and adults can find themselves with sleep pattern disruptions which can lead to unwanted changes in body weight and activity levels. During the summertime, kids often have the opportunity to sleep in, which also means staying up a bit later than usual. Once school starts, getting up early for school is an adjustment kids have to make. But the habit of staying up later can persist for a while. Adults, too, can fall into this trap as well. There is more evidence emerging, linking chronic lack of sleep and obesity. Sleep is essential for repair of the structure of the body, for energy restoration and for mental rest and recovery. The quantity and quality of sleep appears to be affected by numerous social and environmental factors, including stress, activity level, and nutrient consumption among others. Adults generally need about seven to eight hours of sleep each night, while children need even more for their growing bodies.

The Meadow Ridge Atom Blue Knights proved to be giant killers with a big win Saturday. The Atom Blue Knights recorded their first win of the season Saturday morning defeating Chilliwack White Giants 30-20. The team was lead by offensive guards Maximus Hanson and Antonio Salas, who opened up gapping holes enroute to five rushing touchdowns. Defensive tackles Trevor Carnegie and Gavin Whittingham dominated on the other side of the ball, shutting down the Giant’s running game and pressuring the Giant’s quarterback all game. The Atom Blue Knights take on the Chilliwack Atom Blue Giants Saturday at SRT with kickoff at 10:45 a.m.. The Atom Gold Knights ran their record to 2-0, defeating Chilliwack Red 27 – 14.

Pee wee The pee wee Blue Knights mounted a fourth quarter comeback, riding fullback James Grimeson for their first win of the season. Paving the road for Knights ball carriers were slotback Dalton Larabie and guard, Chris Drozdowski. Knights’ corner-backs, Riley Rooney and Matteo Gallovich along with linebackers Tristan Parkin and Declan Fitzpatrick locked down the outside lanes to force the Giants into the heart of the Knights defense to preserve the win. The Gold Knight’s built an early 13-0 lead at half time and hung on for the 13-12 win over the Blue Giants to move their record to 2-0.

Father and husband died suddenly and too soon, at age 61. Daryl leaves behind his soul mate, first and only love and bride of 40 years, Susan. He is survived by his greatly loved son, Greg McNeill (Heather) and precious grandchildren Hugh and Isobel; his cherished and devoted daughter Shannon Smirl (Jonathan), his treasured 1 year old granddaughter Piper Katherine, his ‘namesake’ whom he enjoyed teaching and making laugh. Much valued, ‘second son’ through friendship, Kris Klumpner was an integral part of Daryl’s life. Daryl was born to Donald and Marjorie McNeill in Matsqui, BC. He is survived by his oldest sister Pat Fraser (son Robbie and daughter Tracy), brother Bill/Dawna (son DJ, daughter Kim). Predeceased by youngest sister Ellen, husband Steve and children. Daryl moved to Haney, B.C. in Grade 10 where he met and fell in love with Susan, whom he was lovingly devoted to from that moment onwards. He graduated from BCIT with a marketing diploma but took to the road as a milkman for Dairyland,where he worked for nearly 20 years. In 1992 Daryl moved his family to Peachland to enjoy the Okanagan lifestyle. Daryl was a truck driver at heart and worked tirelessly driving daily throughout the Okanagan, making friends at all his business stops. Daryl was known to be honest, loyal, hardworking, kind, generous and highly principled. He prided himself foremost as a family man and always placed others’ needs ahead of his own. He was an avid competitive bagpiper in his earlier years and always an admirer of the Scottish Golden Elixir –happy to share a wee dram of his impressive scotch collection with his friends and family. Daryl was the best imaginable husband, a compassionate and endlessly supportive father and friend. Daryl Raymond McNeill was a true gentleman and will be forever missed by all who knew him. A Memorial to honor Daryl’s life will take place 1:00 p.m. Saturday, September 14, 2013 at Peachland United Church, 4421 – 4th Street; interment at the Peachland Cemetery.

Florence Lily Willson (Nee Chalmers)

Died peacefully September 3, 2013 in Maple Ridge. Born February 1, 1925 in Primate, Saskatchewan to George and Lily Chalmers who emigrated from England to homestead on the Prairies.Â Pre-deceased by brother Keith, and sisters May and Margaret.Â Left to mourn are son Ron, daughter Trudy (Tom), sister Jean, grand-daughters Jessica (Daryl) and Kate (Andrew), and her many nieces and nephews.Â She especially loved being â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nanaâ&#x20AC;? to Jessica and Kate and â&#x20AC;&#x153;GGâ&#x20AC;? to great-granddaughter Emily. Florence attended St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convent school in Clandonald, Alberta and Garneau Normal School in Edmonton, graduating in 1943.Â She served in the Canadian Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Army Group from 1943 to 1945.Â She married in 1945 and the family moved in 1951 from Calgary to Prince George.Â Â Florence began teaching in 1958 at Central Fort George Elementary and in 1961 became the librarian of Connaught Elementary.Â She earned a BEd from UBC in 1964 and in 1967 became the first ever Canadian recipient of the Frederic G. Melcher scholarship of the American Library Association.Â After taking a degree in library science at UBC, she became the provincial supervisor of school libraries for Saskatchewan.Â In 1970 she returned to Prince George as the coordinator of resource services and later director of curriculum for School District #57.Â She also served terms as vice-chair and chair of the Canadian School Library Association. In retirement she enjoyed her years at Cluclulz Lake and golfing and travel. In l995 she moved to Pitt Meadows to be closer to family. Florence was an inspiration not only to her family but to the many students and colleagues whose lives she touched.Â Known for her lively intelligence, she achieved a great deal for a woman of her generation and circumstances.Â For most of her life she had to do battle with Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. It was no match for her strength of character, not least her puckish sense of humour which she kept right up to the end. Florence requested that there be no formal service but that family and friends remember her in their own way.Â Â Her ashes will be interred at her mother and fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grave in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Edmonton.Â In memory of Florence, donations to the Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis Foundation of Canada would be appreciated. The family would like to thank the staff of Willow Manor in Maple Ridge and Dr. Sergeeva and the nursing staff of Ridge Meadows Hospital.
