Council mum on derelict homes Coun. Ashlie takes silence as support for her views
by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter
Maple Ridge Ernie Daykin admits it’s difficult when one councillor calls for the cleanup of property managed by another councillor. “It puts all of us in an awkward spot,” Daykin said. Coun. Cheryl Ashlie asked at council last week if the district can speed up demolition of two derelict homes on St. Anne Avenue. The owner of three lots at the corner of the
St. Anne and 223rd Street wants to put up a condo, and Coun. Al Hogarth manages two of the houses and used to manage the third. Hogarth excused himself from those discussions. Ashlie didn’t mention Hogarth when she raised the topic. One of the homes, at 22309 St. Anne Ave., has been raided by police three times in the past year and a half, with six people arrested in June 2012 and drugs seized. That house will be restored as part of a heritage agreement with the district, but two others are slated to be torn down. Daykin suggested council should talk with the property owner, manager and architect and say, “Listen, this is a problem, deal with it. If that doesn’t happen, maybe

Each office independently owned and operated
professional teamwork professional results
something else has to be done. “I have challenges equally with the property owner,” Daykin said. But he disagreed that the three properties are setting a bad example for the district and there are several other old homes, such as two burnt-out hulks on Lougheed Highway and 222nd Street, that need to come down. Some homes recently have been demolished in Hammond, he pointed out. “We’re doing what we can do. We have this lovely thing called private property. But on the other hand, when it impacts your neighbourhood, I think you lose some of your rights. With ownership, there’s responsibility.”
Others giving to centennial celebrations By M on i sh a M ar ti n s staff reporter
Pitt Meadows secondary’s basketball program will be getting an injection of cash this year thanks to a donation from a city councillor. Coun. David Murray will be donating the seven-per-cent salary increase he received this year to the high school’s Grade 8 and senior teams. It will amount to $1,500, but he’s hoping to stretch the donation by working out a deal with a sporting goods store for new shoes or other equipment. See Donate, p5

Katzie First Nation gets new building $4.3 million community centre to open in 2015
staff reporter
by Phi l M elnyc h u k staff reporter
A sod-turning and ground-blessing ceremony Friday has marked the start of a $4.3-million building for the Katzie First Nation reserve in Pitt Meadows. “This is the core of our community now. We’re trying to rebuild our community spirit,” Peter James Jr. said shortly after the formalities concluded behind the band office. Drumming and singing preceded the blessing of the ground, with two elders, two young people – female and male – intended to give stability based on the native principal of four directions. The official start means only that soil preloading can begin, in order to prepare the ground so it doesn’t sink when the Katzie Health and Community Building is completed. But construction of the building, which includes a $2.1-million contribution from Health Canada, with the rest provided by Katzie First Nation Resources, should be complete in the spring of 2015. The building will contain a commercial kitchen along with health offices, and a gymnasium/dining area with the capacity of holding 450 people. “It’s going to be our community hall,” James said. Coleen Pierre said the project is the realization of a dream started decades ago by youth who sketched out what they’d like to see for a recreational building, then presented it to their elders. “Thirty years later, we’re fulfilling their dream,” she added.

“Some of the kids who started the process are here.” Newly elected chief Susan Miller said starting the project took a lot of hard work. “It will become the hub of our community.”
$1.4 million renovation for Pitt policing office Current accommodations are too cramped, inconvenient by Mo ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter
Renovations are set to begin on the RCMP’s cramped community policing office in Pitt Meadows. The $1.4 million project, which includes Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund grant of $242,750, will see the space inside the recreation centre transformed into a fully functioning office for Ridge Meadows RCMP. Originally opened as a community policing office, the space has become a satellite detachment to Maple Ridge, where people walk in
Illegal net yanked from Kanaka Creek
to report crimes and officers conduct interviews with little privacy. The 1,480-square-foot office is currently shared by two constables per watch, an office manager, volunteers and other general duty or specialized team officers who may need access to the RCMP database while in the city. Driving to Maple Ridge – a 20-minute trip – isn’t practical for constables who are required to remain in the city throughout their shifts. The renovations will add an additional 2,100 sq. ft. to the office, including interview rooms and a space for Breathalyzer tests. The renovations will also combine the weight and multipurpose rooms into a larger space for people to exercise.
Michael Millward, facilities operation manager for the Maple RidgePitt Meadows Parks and Recreation Service, said the renovations were originally meant to take place in two phases. The first phase, which involved converting the former seniors’ lounge, did not proceed as quotations came in much higher than anticipated. Millward said staff will try to incorporate some of the planned renovations to the seniors’ lounge in this phase of construction by using funds from the city’s facilities infrastructure lifecycle reserve. Millward said Pax Construction has been chosen to complete the renovations, but a timeline for completion won’t be determined until later this week.
THE NEWS/files
The space opened originally as a community policing office.
When it comes to fishing on Kanaka Creek in November, nets are a no-no, fishing rods are OK, for the month, as long as you’re upstream of the railway bridge. Thursday, though, somebody thought they’d try a net and put the gillnetter into the stream near the junction with the Lougheed Highway, as well as at the oxbow bend near the observation tower, close to the Fraser River. “It was in such a way that it wasn’t visible from shore,” said Ross Davies, with Kanaka Education and Environmental Partnership Society. Davies said the nets were in the creek for a of couple days, but were then removed by Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Fortunately, six coho that were caught were still alive, then released back into the stream. But some chum died. A derelict vessel was seen in the area, but no one’s been charged. Davies said someone reported the net to a fishing store in Maple Ridge. “Our sports anglers on the creek are the best enforcers we have. They’re our eyes and ears out there. We’re glad to have them.” Davies said in November, sports anglers can catch one marked coho salmon per day out of Kanaka Creek, upstream of the CP Rail bridge. Coho at this time are usually silver, in good eating condition, he added. Fishermen may not always catch a coho, but the stream isn’t as crowded as the Vedder or Chilliwack rivers, Davies said. Recently, sockeye returned to Still Creek in Vancouver, near big-box shopping centres. That’s because there’s now a fishway to allow salmon to get upstream to the tributaries, Davies said. • Davies’s daughter Sarah recently was awarded a $1,000 scholarship by the Pacific Parklands Foundation for her volunteer work with streams.

A Maple Ridge doctor repeatedly disciplined by the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons has been barred from practicing medicine again. Dr. Patrick Michael Nesbitt was suspended on Halloween and won’t be able to practice medicine until he complies with a long list of conditions imposed on him by the college. “Dr. Nesbitt’s future professional conduct must be beyond reproach in every aspect,” the college said in a statement released Thursday. Nesbitt, a family physician, admitted to breaching the terms of a previous agreement he had with the College of Physicians and Surgeons, restricting his practice to male patients only. The college alleged Nesbitt prescribed medication for 41 female patients, 10 of
whom received prescriptions for controlled substances. In February 2011, the college ordered Nesbitt to pay a fine of $25,000, and suspended him from practicing medicine for a period of two years. Before Nesbitt is eligible to return to his practice, he must pay $25,000, as well as $10,000 for the college’s legal costs. He must also: complete a family practice review; continue to participate in medical education on boundaries, ethics and professionalism; establish a mentorship with a doctor approved by the college; provide the college with an educational plan for the next year; and comply with any monitoring of his practice. Nesbitt has been repeatedly disciplined by the college for a variety of infractions over the past decade. In 2000, Nesbitt was suspended from practicing medicine for one
year and fined $5,000 after he admitted to sexually touching and fondling a female patient. In 2004, Nesbitt admitted that he was guilty of unprofessional conduct by making inappropriate sexual remarks to a patient during the course of an examination. Nesbitt was suspended from practicing medicine for three months and re-
Nesbitt filed a civil suit with the B.C. Supreme Court in June 2010 in the hopes of stopping the college’s proceedings against him. While Nesbitt declined a request for an interview. Instead, he directed The News to two websites (doctorpat. org and Notthecollege. com), on which he criticized the college and its disciplinary decisions.
“The Supreme Court says that Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons perhaps ought to get sued more often.” Dr. Patrick Nesbitt
quired to attend counselling by the college. Nesbitt received a six-month suspension from the college in 2005 and was fined $2,500 for failing to meet required professional standards of care by using inappropriate language in front of a patient.
On notthecollege.com, he writes: “The Supreme Court says that Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons perhaps ought to get sued more often. Whenever they suck at their job. Which seems to be quite a lot of the time. If you don’t believe me, keep your eyes on this web site.”

Two councillors yet to declare intentions Donate from front
“I’m going to sit down with coach Rich Goulet and figure out where he needs it to go,” said Murray. Two weeks ago, city council struggled with a bylaw that recommended the significant increase in their wages while discussing proposed budget cuts and a demand for no new taxes in 2014. In the end, each member of council decided to donate the whole amount or a portion of the increase back to a local charity. When he ran for a seat on Pitt Meadows council, Murray pledged to donate all his salary increases to charity. In the past two years, Kids Sports has been a beneficiary. “Sports is something I’m really passionate about,” he said.

Coun. Dave Murray Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters said each councillor will decide how to disclose where their donations will be going. She will be donating her increase (almost $5,000) to the city’s centennial celebrations, which will take place next year, as will councillors Janis Elkerton and Bruce Bell. Couns. Tracy Miyashita and Gwen O’Connell have yet to publicly disclose which charities will benefits from their donations. Neither returned calls for comment. Coun. Doug Bing has not been receiving a salary from the city since he was elected as a member of the provincial legislature in May. He is set to resign his council seat in January. As per the Council Indemnity Bylaw, council salaries are reviewed on Jan. 1 each year. The mayor’s salary is then adjusted to 75 per cent of the published median salary of all Metro Vancouver mayors for the preceding year, while councillors make 37.5 per cent of the mayor’s salary. The pay increases were not determined by council, but recommended by an independent committee, which drafted the bylaw in 2008. Pitt Meadows council salaries, however, have risen 50 per cent over six years. In 2013, the mayor will earn $70,864, compared to $47,160 in 2008. Councillors are set to make $26,574, compared to $17,544 in 2008. Unlike MLAs. No one will get a pension from the city.

The News/opinion News Views
Lacking punch The ins and outs of the B.C. NDP’s 2013 provincial election defeat would bore all but the most hardcore supporter. But there is one good reason to at least acknowledge that the exercise in selfflagellation had to be done, even if you’re not inclined to actually read the party’s 20-page election review that was released Friday. The reason is this: There is no other game in town. Sorry, Conservatives and Greens, the New Democrats have the history, the base and the infrastructure, so until something better comes along, they are the province’s best chance at keeping the B.C. Liberals honest. Right now, the next election isn’t a big concern and the NDP can lick its wounds all it wants. Premier Christy Clark is still in the honeymoon phase of her term (according to a recent Angus Reid poll, she’s the second highest rated premier in the country). She may even have something going for her, having learned some tough lessons from her predecessor, and she’s cleaning house. True, Clark hasn’t been tested much in the legislature, but we know what to expect when she finally walks through the door. She’ll defend to the teeth her government’s Core Review of Everything, including the Agricultural Land Review, the budget, the throne speech and anything else that’s thrown her way. But one day, even Clark’s government will seem dated. A party too long in power rarely escapes folly, arrogance and scandal (and you can be excused for thinking you thought the B.C. Liberals had reached that stage before the May election). When that day comes, as it will, B.C. will need a thick-skinned leader, sharp of retort and without stain to be in fighting mode. The NDP review holds out some hope that this will be the case. Is the party’s review too much “whine” and not enough cheese? Yes, it lacks punch and has a sour smell. But if it puts teeth back in the tiger keeping a hungry eye on our leaders, that will be a good thing. – Black Press

Untangling oil pipeline politics VICTORIA – Reaction was swift and scattered after the “framework agreement” on new oil pipelines announced last week by B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford. First, here’s what it doesn’t mean. B.C. Views “B.C. blinked,” according to one To- Tom Fletcher ronto commentator, based on the popular notion that B.C. gave up its claim to a share of Alberta’s resource royalties from heavy oil. Clark never made such a claim, so it would be difficult to give it up. Her often-repeated condition of a “fair share” of revenues from any new oil pipelines is purposely vague, but after repeated protests from Alberta, Clark clarified as far back as last June that provincial royalties are not on the table. There is no constitutional way to make such a demand, a point Redford has made several times. NDP leader Adrian Dix and the usual chorus of professional protesters claimed that Clark flip-flopped, opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal before the election and then embracing it once she was re-elected. This is also inaccurate. Clark’s five conditions were set out before the May election, demanding approval by a federal environmental review, “world-leading” spill prevention and response capability on land and at sea, meeting legal re-
quirements to consult and share benefits with aboriginal communities, and the undefined “fair share” for B.C. Clark said numerous times during the campaign that the conditions have not been met, and made pessimistic noises about Northern Gateway, but she very carefully did not campaign against it. The B.C. Liberal platform also endorsed a Kitimat-area oil refinery proposed by this newspaper’s owner, and Clark repeatedly referred to that sort of industrial expansion as one of the potential “fair share” components for B.C. The B.C. Liberal government made its opposition to Northern Gateway “as currently proposed” official on May 31, two weeks after the election, in its final submission to the federal review panel. If Clark had wanted to jump on the antipipeline bandwagon for political gain, that move could have been made earlier. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said the B.C. government has taken the position that more oil will reach the West Coast, by rail if not by pipeline. I’m not sure if or when that claim was made, but it’s true that rail shipments are already permitted. Here’s what Redford and Clark agreed on: Redford accepts B.C.’s five conditions, provincial royalties excluded, and Clark endorsed Redford’s proposed “Canadian Energy Strategy,” which B.C. rejected last year. A draft of the strategy released last summer contains no specifics on how it would facilitate a pipeline project from Alberta to B.C. It talks about developing Canada’s energy reserves and, at the same time, somehow reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promises a fi-
nal version next spring. Oh, and Quebec refuses to participate. Ottawa has sole jurisdiction over interprovincial projects such as Northern Gateway and the proposal by Kinder Morgan Canada to expand the 60-yearold Trans Mountain pipeline to Burnaby and refineries in Washington.
Redford accepts B.C.’s five conditions, provincial royalties excluded, and Clark endorsed Redford’s proposed “Canadian Energy Strategy,” which B.C. rejected last year. If there is to be some extra revenue for B.C. from oil traffic, it could theoretically take the form of a toll on pipelines. Redford pointed out the problem with that idea in her speech to an energy forum in Vancouver last week. She noted that 42 per cent of B.C. natural gas is piped through Alberta to markets. If B.C. can toll Alberta oil, the same could be done with B.C. gas. None of B.C.’s five conditions has yet been met. Legally, they don’t have to be, except for the one about accommodating aboriginal title.

The News/letters Editor, The News: I am writing with regards to my concerns for pedestrian foot traffic safety between Carshill and Darby streets on River Road. Before the up-grade to River Rd. a few years ago, a couple of people could walk side-by-side without fear of vehicle traffic or tripping over stones or blocks put on the boulevard by home owners. Is River Rd. now for autos only? Why can’t the walkway be widened to allow enough room, like the west side of Darby St.? River Rd. could be a great alternative to the very busy Lougheed Highway for leisurely walks. At present, it is very restricted, which is too bad. My wife and I enjoy walks around our neighbourhood. Unfortunately, in this area of River Rd., we are forced to walk single file on the very narrow walkway with vehicle traffic on one side and dodging obstacles on the boulevard side. These obstacles, such as rocks, should be moved or removed completely. I would think that the district would love to have people leave their vehicles at home. I hope council will look into improving this situation some day soon, along with the planned traffic calming measures. Alan Meeks Maple Ridge
online comments • Adrian Smith · Coquitlam, British Columbia: Re: Maple Ridge mayor signs SensibleBC pot petition (mapleridgenews.com). Thank you, Mr. Daykin, for standing up for common sense. And shame on you, MP Randy Kamp, for being so ignorant and uninformed.

Editor, The News: Re: Maple Ridge mayor signs SensibleBC pot petition (The News, Nov. 8). I am concerned that readers may think that Maple Ridge council supports the SensibleBC pot petition. I have received several communications since this article came out criticizing council as a whole. If I was mayor, I would have emphasized that this was his personal position.
mendous wasted resources and safety risks for our protective services. We need a solution that provides corrective measures and appropriate resources to deal with what is purported to be a $9-billion industry. We need to be realistic that decriminalization will not provide proper solutions to address the harms from marijuana. SensibleBC wants to work towards legalization.
Just like alcohol, legalization won’t solve the resultant problems faced by our society. SensibleBC’s referendum doesn’t address the true harms with its simplistic solution. As an elected leader in our community, I am aware of the social and financial costs and this referendum falls far short of providing the answers. Coun. Michael Morden Maple Ridge
‘Parents sure as hell want to know’
“Should we publicly decry the professional conduct of all professions that come in contact with children? Shop keepers? Journalists? Where should it end?” It should begin with adults we entrust with the confidence of our children. That much should be clear. That is the matter at hand. Not molly coddling so-called professionals at the expense of our children. I hope that clears things up a bit. Grant Baker Maple Ridge
Editor, The News: Re: Pitt teacher served his penalty (Letters, Nov. 8).

I, personally, do not think that the decriminalization of marijuana addresses the harm that this drug does to our society. We have witnessed harm in the form of violence in our community, neighbourhoods rendered unsafe for our kids to play, noxious odours that cause health problems for many, the destruction of our housing stock through growing operations – both legal and otherwise – and the tre-
tainted reputation for several years to come.” One doesn’t have to go to school to know that this is what’s known as consequences for your actions. Part of being a professional is knowing what is and what isn’t appropriate. Being a professional carries the weight of responsibility and accountability.

must be obvious that they do not exercise that on school property. If this same teacher also gives students rides in his car without proper authorization, among other infractions, then as a taxpayer and parent, I sure as hell want to know, and have the right to know, who this teacher is. Then I can decide if that teacher is the kind I want to send my children to each day.

Hogarth: ‘It rests with owner’ Homes from front
Daykin said Hogarth has problems with the Residential Tenancy Act. It’s a question of how much money you want to spend on the properties if they’re eventually going to be bulldozed for redevelopment, the mayor added. So far, only Ashlie and briefly Coun. Mike Morden, have commented on the St. Anne Avenue lots. Ashlie takes council’s silence on the issue as support for her views, though no one else has spoken. “Everybody just seems to support what I’m saying there.” Ashlie said if council disagreed, she’d get more aggressive. But nobody so far has, so she assumes council feels the same way. “Silence is an affirmation,” she said. “I do see the dilemma he’s in.” However, Ashlie said the homes have had the attention of bylaw officers and she has talked to Hogarth about it. She understands affordable housing options are needed in the district, and if you tear down housing with trouble tenants, they still need a place to go. According to bylaws director Liz Holitzki , there have only been a few complaints about the corner house at St. Anne and the grounds have been cleaned up. A legitimate tenant is now in the front section of 22309 St. Anne, and the house also meets fire department requirements for security. She didn’t know about a vacant bus in the back alley that appears to have someone living in it and said she’d
check on that. There also have been complaints from the tenant about the interior of the home at 22331 St. Anne Ave., under the building maintenance bylaw, Holitzki added. Hogarth said he manages the properties professionally and told the owner to apply for a demolition permit. “I’m not the owner. I’m the middle man. If it rests anywhere, it rests with the owner, not me.”
Public Hearing Notice TAKE NOTICE THAT a Public Hearing will be held in the Council Chamber of the Municipal Hall, 11995 Haney Place, Maple Ridge, North-East corner entrance, at 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, November 19, 2013, to consider the following bylaws: 1a) 2013-001-RZ MAPLE RIDGE OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDING BYLAW NO. 7031-2013 LEGAL: Parcel “B” (Explanatory Plan 15665), Lot 8, District Lot 404, Group 1, New Westminster District, Plan 809 LOCATION: 23920 - 112 Avenue PURPOSE: To amend Schedule “B” of the Official Community Plan as shown on Map No 866. FROM: Low Density Residential TO: Conservation PURPOSE: To amend Schedule “C” of the Official Community Plan as shown on Map. No. 867 to add as Conservation.
“I could see if I was doing something totally wrong – or smoking crack or something.” Coun. Al Hogarth, Maple Ridge He disagreed that because the properties are awaiting development, they’re allowed to decay. He recently installed a new hot water heater in one. Investors redevelop at different times, he said. Hogarth hopes his fellow councillors don’t feel uncomfortable and know that he’s doing what he can. “I don’t question what they do in their lives. I could see if I was doing something totally wrong – or smoking crack or something. But I don’t do any of that stuff,” adding that he works within the limits set for property managers. “It rests with the owner, it doesn’t rest with me.”

2) 2013-061-CP MAPLE RIDGE OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDING BYLAW NO. 7002-2013 PURPOSE: The Local Government Act, Part 26, Section 866 requires that where a regional growth strategy is in effect, an Official Community Plan (OCP) must contain a Regional Context Statement that identifies the relationship between the Regional Growth Strategy and the OCP and how, if necessary, the OCP will be made consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) over time. The Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy was adopted by the Metro Vancouver Regional Board on July 29, 2011. Each member municipality had until July 29, 2013 to submit their revised regional context statements for acceptance by the Metro Board. The Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy contains five (5) key goals that identify what the role of each member municipality has in helping to achieve the Regional goals. Policy 6.2.6 of the RGS identifies that each municipalities Regional Context Statement is expected to be generally consistent with the RGS goals, strategies and actions and the regional land use designations. The Maple Ridge Regional Context Statement was formally referred to the Board of the Metro Vancouver Regional District on July 25, 2013, following First Reading of Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7002-2013. On September 27, 2013, the Metro Vancouver Regional Board formally accepted the Regional Context Statement and Council subsequently gave Second Reading to the Bylaw on October 8, 2013 and forwarded the bylaw to the November 19 Public Hearing agenda. 2013-074-RZ 3) MAPLE RIDGE ZONE AMENDING BYLAW NO. 7011-2013 PURPOSE: To amend the Zoning Bylaw to establish zoning regulations for the commercial production of medical marihuana under the Canadian Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations. The Bylaw defines “Medical Marihuana, Commercial Production” as production authorized under the federal legislation. The Bylaw permits this use in the A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 Agricultural Zones, and in the RS-1, RS-2 and RS-3 Residential Zones, but only on lands within the Agricultural Land Reserve. The Bylaw prescribes setbacks for this use from the property boundaries, and also from schools, single-family residences, wells and streams, and from other Medical Marihuana, Commercial Production uses. AND FURTHER TAKE NOTICE that a copy of the aforesaid bylaws and copies of staff reports and other information considered by Council relevant to the matters contained in the bylaws will also be available for public inspection at the Municipal Hall, Planning Department counter, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. from November 7, 2013, to November 19, 2013, Saturdays, Sundays and Statutory Holidays excepted. Some of this information will also be posted on the District website www.mapleridge.ca on the Mayor & Council/Council Meetings page. ALL PERSONS who deem themselves affected by any of these bylaws shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard at the Public Hearing before Council on the matters contained in the bylaws or by making a written submission to the attention of the Manager of Legislative Services or by sending an e-mail to the Clerk’s Department at clerks@mapleridge.ca, by 4:00 p.m., November 19, 2013. All written submissions and e-mails will become part of the public record. Dated this 7th day of November, 2013. Ceri Marlo Manager of Legislative Services

Lists of those who served in World Wars Looki ng Bac k by Leslie Norman
E
arlier this week, many of us were at our local cenotaphs, remembering those who gave their lives for their country and for their community in two World Wars. But what of the names of the living who served from the community and are not on the cenotaph, where can they be found? At the corner of Harris and Ford roads is what many think of as the “little white church building.” At the outset of the First World War, it was four years old and was a Seventh Day Adventist Church, serving the colony located in the Hoffmann Park area off what is now Advent Road. In 1922, with the Adventists mostly gone from the area, the building was purchased
by the Community Church Society and it remains in its possession to this day. As a church with such connections to the community, what better place to have documentation of the individuals who signed up and went to war but who were lucky enough to return home and, therefore, did not earn a place on their local cenotaph. The documentation – two beautifully handrendered Rolls of Honour, listing the names of those men and women from Pitt Meadows who served in each of the world wars. The first roll, 1914 to 1918, was made by Belle Menzies. The second roll, 1939 to 1945, was made by Earl Irvine. In 1914, in the newly formed municipality of Pitt Meadows, there was a population of less than 250, which did not increase by war’s

Four were brothers Look from p13
Of those who enlisted, four of them were brothers – John, Alexander, Robert and William McRae, and they are all listed despite having only arrived in the community shortly before the war and not returning to the area after the hostilities ended, leaving us with little information about them. From their attestation papers, we know they hailed from the area of Inverness, Scotland, and that they shared brown hair and eye colour. The eldest, John, was of “fresh” complexion, while his bothers, Alexander and Robert, were dark. None of them were particularly tall, topping out at 5’8”. They were all in their 20s. Three of them were not married, and two of them listed their mother, who was also a recent arrival in Pitt Meadows, as their next of kin.

The McRae brothers only lived a short time in the community.

Alexander and Robert signed up together in Vancouver in November 1914, and John followed in Vernon in June 1915. We are not sure about William, but think he enlisted in November 1915 in New Westminster. Death certificates found for two of the bothers tell us how they lived out their lives. Alexander passed away in 1988 at the age of 95, having married, then widowed. His occupation was listed as “fisherman.” His older brother John passed away in 1971 at the age of 86. He, too, had eventually married and worked as a warehouseman at a brewery. At the time of his death he had lived in Canada for 61 years and in this province for 57. Of their time in the province, he and his brothers spent a very short part of it in Pitt Meadows, but long enough to be remembered.

The News/seniority Sports, a great way to stay active Contributed

f you want to stay healthy in mind and body, the best way to do so is by staying active. According to a Dr. Liza Stathokostas of the Canadian Centre for Activity and Aging, “Research evidence indicates the crucial role of physical activity and exercise as an effective strategy for successful aging and good health.” The article on the CCAA website (www. uwo.ca/fhs/ccaa) goes on to say, “Indeed, perhaps in no other segment of the Canadian population is the role of exercise in the promotion of health more applicable than for older adults.” It’s a point you won’t have to argue too strenuously to convince either Dave Rodway or Darrell Winterlik, both seniors who know the value of exercise and activity through the fun of sport. Dave is a life-long baseball enthusiast who

Today, in his sixties, he plays slo-pitch with other Maple Ridge residents in the Lower Mainland Seniors Softball League. He started about five years ago, and even though he suffered a heart attack three years ago, he’s back playing with his friends because he knows it’s the best
way to mend. “After I had the heart attack, I didn’t think I’d play again. But I’m back pitching and umping, and if I bat, I have a pinch runner, though I’m just waiting for the doctor to give the okay to run again.” Darrell Winterlik also values the use of sport in staying fit and active. At 70 years of age, he is a regular curler with the
Haney Masters League, which started up in October. It’s a fun league for senior men who want to share some laughs and curling. There is no comparable women’s league because too few female players are available, but Darrell says there are several different leagues for men, women and mixed play. See Seniors, p19

‘Pickleball growing really fast’
Adding
LIFE to your Years With Cheryl Noble
Seniors from p18
The Haney Masters League welcomes all skill levels amongst those 55 and up. It’s not overly competitive and pretty reasonable expense-wise. “We have a wide range of ages playing, including a few in their eighties,” the Pitt Meadows curler offers. “A lot of it is about developing friendships and just having fun. “Anyone who’s too competitive doesn’t usually last long because they get too frustrated,” he adds with a laugh. This kind of curling isn’t too physically demanding, Darrell admits, but it does keep the 60 or so people who participate active, which contributes to keeping them healthy. There are plenty of sports for seniors to participate in locally, including lawn bowling, swimming, a variety of team sports, tennis, and pretty much any sport someone can think of, including something called “pickleball.” Pickleball can best be described as a cross between tennis, badminton and ping-pong, says Vanessa Watkins, a health and wellness program assistant with Ridge Meadows Parks and Leisure Services. It’s played on a badminton-sized court with a low net (like tennis), using a wiffleball and what can best be described as an over-sized ping-pong paddle. “It’s growing really, really fast,” says Vanessa. Parks and Leisure Services offers weekly programs in both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, and dozens of players are regulars now. There are outdoor courts at Garibaldi

secondary school, as well. “People like it because it’s pretty easy to pick up, it doesn’t require a lot of skill, and because it keeps them active without being too strenuous,” Vanessa adds. It’s not a sport just for seniors, but most of the local players happen to be seniors who like to play doubles because it’s more social, and because “one-on-one is just too much work.” • For those interested in learning more about seniors slo-pitch, call Dave at 604467-3069.

Getting a loved one home from the hospital isn’t just about arranging transportation. Choosing the right post-hospital care is essential for a full recovery.
“This aint your Grandmas nursing home”-thank goodness! An Independent Living Residence is not a nursing home. Simply put, it is an apartment building for seniors with separate suites, security and hospitality services in place. There are no “rules”. Our residents are not “giving up” any of their independence. They are choosing a lifestyle that is more worry- free, allowing them to enjoy the things they love to do while we do the everyday tasks such as meals and housekeeping. That’s it!
Yes. This is called supportive services and they are available in Independent Living. Requiring a little extra help does not mean that a senior is not independent. Some may need on going assistance while others may just need some extra care periodically, perhaps recovering from and illness or surgery. Examples of supportive services could include driving and medication reminders.
What are some of the comments that you hear from your residents? The most common comment I hear is “I should have moved in sooner”! Almost immediately, I see improvements in our senior’s general health. Many discover new enjoyments, interests and an easing of the daily life chores. Also, companionship is such a health benefit for all of us! We have a saying at Greystone Manor “add some life to your years!” That is my focus and I enjoy watching this happen with every new resident.

Sleepless marathon of laughter Maple Ridge comedian Russ Brummer to perform for 30 hours at weekend Improvathon by Moni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter
R
uss Brummer has no magic spell or potent potion to help him ace what seems like an impossible feat - performing 30 hours of improv. He plans on staying awake from the beginning to the bitter end with a few simple aides. "My secret weapons are cold water and apples," says Brummer, who admits he's never been good at pulling all-nighters. As a youth worker, Brummer often worked overnight shifts and would sneak a nap under a desk while other staff were busy with activities. At Second Storey Theatre's "Improvathon" however, there's no place to hide. Brummer will have just 10 minutes between sets. "Just enough time to eat, connect with my fellow improvisers, and smear deodorant all over my body - smelling good is key," says the Maple Ridge comedian who'll be sharing the stage with a talented cast from table 23. A seasoned performer, Brummer began his career in entertainment in 1999 with the formation of table23 comedy troupe. Since then, he has helped lead the group to perform hundreds of shows throughout western Canada.
His credits also include Vancouver Theatre Sports League on Granville Island, Urban Improv, Comedy Events with David C Jones, and guest spots with the Fictionals. When it comes to improv and performing, Brummer likes to challenge himself to do something different with each show. "I have 30 different goals for 30 different shows. Though my biggest goal is to do good improv for the whole 30 hours without going crazy," he says.

thon session Friday night. Among those lined up to perform include Myers' four-year-old niece Paige "who just likes to pretend,"; Toronto voice actor/impressionist David Andrew Brent; Coquitlam comic Ed Hill, who last week released a new CD titled Canasian; ECCW wrestler Ranvenous Randy Myers; and Pigeon Park rockers Nick Weber and Hunter Elliott. "We're got quite a cast of characters," Myers said. "It'll be fun to see what they come up with and, without a doubt, you are probably going to see some of the best improv ever." Myers said he got the concept for the 30-hour improv from other comedy companies and "it's a crazy enough idea for me to do it, too," he said. Myers will emcee and will stay awake for the entire weekend event. And anyone else who keeps their eyes open as well for the full 30 hours will get a year's pass to Second Storey shows, he promises.

Haida master inspired modern artists Charles Edenshaw retrospective at VAG by To m Fletch e r Black Press
Doris Shadbolt’s 1986 book Bill Reid beautifully chronicles the career of Canada’s best known Haida artist, whose signature works reside at the University of B.C., Vancouver International Airport and the Canadian Embassy in Washington D.C. French anthropologist Claude LéviStrauss declared that Reid “tended and revived a flame that was so close to dying,” and lifted Northwest Coast aboriginal art onto the world stage. More than two decades later comes a book and exhibition to recognize the artist who kept that flame alive at its lowest ebb, and passed it down to Reid and other modern masters of Haida art. Charles Edenshaw was born in 1839 and died around 1920, after surviving the second

In a foreword to the lavishly illustrated book Charles Edenshaw, Haida chief and carver
James Hart describes how the young artist learned the ancient ways at a time when his culture was struggling to survive European settlement, disease and cultural domination.
“Charles still worked with his Uncle Albert Edenshaw, carving totem poles, argillite, etc., perfecting his artistry,” Hart writes. “Carving was – and is – our way of writing, recording history, showing our prerogatives, our stories, our beliefs, our religion.” Robert Davidson, perhaps the most famous Haida artist since Reid’s death in 1998, is Edenshaw’s great grandson. Davidson and later Hart were taught by Reid, closing a circle that began when Reid learned the Haida way of carving from his maternal grandfather, who had been trained by Charles Edenshaw. “The magic of Edenshaw’s work embodies millennia of development of Haida art,” Davidson writes in the book. • An exhibition of more than 200 of Charles Edenshaw’s works, assembled from public and private collections around the world, is at the Vancouver Art Gallery from Oct. 26 to Feb. 2.

An Evening of Wonders | Vitaly Vancouver’s very own world class illusionist, Vitaly Beckman, brings us An Evening of Wonders. Originally from Belarus, Vitaly began practicing the art of illusion and magic at the age of 14. Vitaly makes drawings of objects turn into the real deal, and he can even make a paintbrush paint all by itself! All of the illusions, including making people disappear from ordinary photographs and appear on another, are original, designed and invented by Vitaly himself. With the belief that we are only limited by our own imagination, the audience experiences the sensation that nothing is impossible and celebrates the human spirit; the show is not just magic, it is mind-blowing!

Flicker of promise for Jr. B Flames
No. 99 The Maple Ridge Ramblers defeated the Garibaldi Rebels last week to finish first in junior boys’ volleyball league play. MRSS was to host the local playoffs Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Ridge senior boys defeated Riverside in four sets, including a 32-30 win in the final one, to capture bronze at the Fraser Valley North playoffs and advance to the next round.
Hockey: Surrender 10 goals in pair of losses, remain in third place staff reporter
Ridge Meadows Flames Jaime Fiset isn’t pleased that his team gave up 10 goals in a pair of weekend losses, but he’s seeing improvement and room for more. “There’s a reason they don’t award the championship in November. There’s lots of hockey to be played yet.” The local junior B hockey team, playing its second game in two nights, fell behind 3-0 in the first period Saturday in North Vancouver and lost 5-1 to the Wolf pack, third in the Tom Shaw Conference. Ryan Scott scored the lone goal for the Flames, who were outshot by North Van 36-32. Tyler Read made 31 saves for Ridge, while Nicholas Maydaniuk and Jake Holland recorded assists. Fiset said at least two of the goals against North Van were defensive coverage mistakes by young players, and nothing that can’t be fixed.

Richmond scored four times on the power play in the game, while the Flames went 1-5. Fiset credited the Sockeyes, second in the Tom Shaw Conference at 10-3-3-2, for their shotblocking abilities. He said they had 15 in the game, including eight when the Flames had a 5-on-3 advantage. “That’s what elite teams do,” Fiset said of Richmond blocking shots.
It’s something he wants to see the Flames do more. Fiset added that keeping shots under control improves the team’s ability to wins games. “Richmond guys will lay themselves down. They are a very defensive team. We need to be able to trust each other more, either block the shot, not create a screen. It’s something we’ve worked on throughout the season.”

Paying attention to the little things, Fiset said, “shot blocking, getting pucks to the net, that’s our main focus.” Joe Olson, Dale Howell, Boston Colley, Ballarin and Maydaniuk had assists Friday for the Flames, now 5-11-2-1 and third in the Harold Brittain Conference.
