The proposed development would see 21 townhouse units built along the Fraser River in the first phase.

First steps for Haney riverfront Twenty-one townhomes proposed for wharf area By Phi l M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

A multi-year condo project that will change the face of Maple Ridge started Monday with a plan to build 21 townhouses on River Road, flanking both sides of Port Haney Wharf. The housing project, if approved, will kickstart changes that will link downtown to Kanaka Creek Regional Park, using a riverfront walkway and boardwalk featuring viewpoints, street furniture and public art. Details on the former remain to be sorted out, but the rezoning proposal sets out Phase 1 of the plan, which is to build seven townhouses on the west side of the wharf and 14 on the east. Five other phases would follow over the next five years, resulting in three residential towers built between the CP Railway line and the river. A waterfront park, board walk and pathways connecting to Kanaka Creek Regional Park, as well as a marina and seaplane terminal are all part of the project. See Riverfront, 8

Pickets to greet students Teacher dispute to continue past Sept. 2 By M o n i s h a M a r t i n s mmartins@mapleridgnews.com

Schools in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows will be behind picket lines next week as a summer-long dispute between teachers and the province appears likely to continue into fall.

With the start of the school year looming, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation has promised to step up protests against B.C. Liberal MLAs and school boards in an effort to kick-start bargaining. “Pickets will be up in full force across the Serra province,” BCTF president Jim Iker said Sunday at a

Flats not settled as election looms By Phil M e lnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

he issue of a shopping mall on the Albion flats has been simmering for a decade, but it could be a new council that deals with development in the area. Talks have been dragging on for two years to work out a land swap between the District of Maple Ridge and land developer SmartCentres so a mall can be built on the flat land at Lougheed Highway and 105th Avenue. Some people want it decided before the November municipal election and are surprised a deal hasn’t been reached yet. Mayor Ernie Daykin wants something before the public before the Nov. 15 municipal election. He doesn’t know if it will happen, though. “I’m hopeful … and I’m as frustrated as anybody else.” Discussions are ongoing with SmartCentres. “In terms of Maple Ridge, we are continuing to work with the district on a land exchange agreement in order to realize our vision to build a shopping centre in the Albion,” said Sandra Kaiser, SmartCentres, vicepresident of corporate affairs. “Hopefully, we will be able to provide an update later in the year.” Negotiations are complex because they involve the District of Maple Ridge taking possession of undevelopable land in the Agricultural Land Reserve on the west side of 105th Avenue. In return, the district will give SmartCentres land on the east side, including the Albion fairgrounds, that can be developed commercially because it has the tacit approval for removal from the reserve. Talks involving land deals are secret while underway, but once a deal has been reached, the public will have input before council gives final approval to a land swap. After that, Maple Ridge must submit a block land exclusion application to the Agricultural Land Commission. “Every opportunity will be given to get the information out to the

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin doesn’t know if a land swap agreement regarding the Albion flats will be reached before the municipal election. public. Whatever it looks like, it needs to be understood,” Daykin said. “If we’re going to err on the side of anything, it’s on the side of caution. It’s taxpayers’ money, assets. The public has a huge vested interest in it, that’s for sure.” Daykin hasn’t heard if the mall proposal has been changed in size, saying the developer knows what size it has to be in order to make it viable. But the commercial component will extend east on Lougheed Highway from 105th only as far the building supplies store, leaving the remainder to 240th Street for business park, commercial or recreational use. If a deal is signed before the election, council can be accused of ramming it through. If a deal is made after the election, politicians can be accused of letting the new council deal with it. “I’m surprised as much as anyone else that it’s taking this long,” said mayoralty candidate Coun. Mike Morden. He thought talks would have finished much sooner.

But he also says staff will try to get some of the details about the plan before the public. “Something will become apparent before the actual election.” But it’s important to report to the public whatever they can, he said. “We have an obligation to be as open and forthright as we possibly can.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t have an application before the election.” Coun. Mike Morden What that is and when, he doesn’t know. Many parties are involved in the talks, he said Will it be an election issue? “I don’t know that we’re going to have that answer to that.” It’s out of council’s control, he said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t have an application before the

election.” And a new council may see the deal differently. Morden said he doesn’t have an opinion one way or the other as to whether the deal should be signed after or before the election. But he wouldn’t be surprised if nothing happened before the election. Mayoralty challenger Tyler Shymkiw said council is well within its rights to pursue the deal. “They were elected, in part, on the promise that they would deliver shopping.” But he doesn’t want to see happen is a “sweetheart last-minute deal just so that they show some progress before the election.” He added that for an issue “that has been so central and contentious in the political conversation of this community for so long, a robust consultation process” is needed to ratify any deal. The issue also could be put to referendum, and hopes the issue will be settled once and for all. James ‘Buddy’ Rogers, who’s seeking a council seat, says a lot what’s going on should be more public. “The one thing I can say is I do

support more shopping in Maple Ridge.” But it’s been going on for two years. “If it’s going to come out shortly after the election, why do it before?” Mayoralty challenger Graham Mowatt says referenda can raise voter interest, and the Albion flats deal would be good to tack on to the municipal ballot. It’s an important issue and the public should be updated before the election, he said. He wants the public to be better informed about negotiations the district has on a variety of issues. Grover Telford, who’s also trying for council, said he’s bothered that they don’t update the public. “I don’t know where they’re at,” he said. “That’s my main beef, that they started something and they don’t keep the public informed as to what’s happening. Nobody knows.” On the other hand, Albion shopping is still an election issue in 2014, just as it was in 2011, when Telford also supported a mall in the area. “The great thing is, I don’t have to change my signs.”

Big bash planned to mark 140th anniversary of Maple Ridge Still awaiting word on switch to city status B y P h il Mel nyc hu k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

amily and fun form the foundation for Maple Ridge’s big two days, starting Sept. 12. That’s when the District of Maple Ridge celebrates its 140th anniversary and looks forward to the future, while looking back at the past. Both newly arrived residents to Maple Ridge and old-timers can do that over two days at Memorial Peace Park in downtown Maple Ridge. Friday, Sept. 12, the fun starts at supper time, 5 p.m. and goes to 9:30 p.m. “It’s a family concert in the park,” said Maple Ridge spokesman Fred Armstrong. “The focus is just trying to get families down … just having a good time, just a big party that’s going to run over a couple of days. It should be lots of fun.” After some music to warm up the crowd Friday, speeches and

presentations begin at 7 p.m. in the bandstand. Actors from the Emerald Pig Society will dress up in historic garb and give versions of actual speeches that Maple Ridge’s mayors have made over the past years. That may leave the audience realizing many of today’s issues were also yesterday’s concerns. The evening culminates in the cutting of a big birthday cake and it’s hoped the announcement that the provincial government has awarded the district of Maple Ridge city status. Maple Ridge applied earlier to have its status changed so that it no longer has to use the cumbersome title of district, a move the City of Pitt Meadows made in 2007. “We’re still waiting to hear from the provincial government on that,” Armstrong said. Also Friday in Memorial Peace Park, fire and police vehicles will be on display so kids can climb around and parents can get photos. Saturday, Sept. 13, birthday events also start in Memorial Peace Park, where the Haney

Although schools will be open, if a settlement isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reached, there will be no classes. Meston told parents not to send their children to school and to seek alternate arrangements for child care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The safety of our students is our highest priority. Should any students arrive at school while picket lines are in place, our school administrators will ensure that they are supervised until they can be safely returned to the care of a parent or guardian,â&#x20AC;? said Meston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is our hope that the labour impasse is resolved quickly at the bargaining table, and that we can soon return to normal operations.â&#x20AC;? Teachers, meanwhile, are picketing constituency offices and intend to continue. A rally is scheduled to take place Thursday targeting Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Doug Bing. Maple Ridge Teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association president George Serra said the union met with locals Friday in Kamloops and teachers were unanimous in maintaining their resolve. Serra believes the strike will continue â&#x20AC;&#x153;short of a shift in government tactics,â&#x20AC;? which has been to stall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first week of school is going to highlight the issues in a hurry for parents,â&#x20AC;? said Serra, adding that parents will be the ones to exert pressure on the government to settle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vince Ready is ready, but the government has to take the preconditions out before he steps in.â&#x20AC;? After three weeks of rotating strikes, B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 41,000 public school teachers launched a full strike June 17. There has been little progress at the bargaining table progress since then. Negotiators only met twice through summer, most recently Aug. 9. A veteran labour dispute negotiator, Ready is monitoring the situation, but said in a statement Aug. 14 that he would not mediate until he believe the process will be productive.

THE NEWS/opinion Guest View

Union misfired With less than a week left before students are supposed to return to classes, there seems little reason to think they will. Despite insistence from both sides that they want an agreement reached by Sept. 2, school yards will likely remain silent. Of course, few believed that the two sides would find a negotiated settlement amid the lazy days of summer. The trajectory has always been toward a final showdown – one that is still coming. It is, after all, the government that holds all the cards. The B.C. Liberals are early in their mandate, meaning they are better able to weather the public backlash over the dispute. They have in their pocket a raft of public sector settlements that suggest a negotiated agreement is possible. And while there are many who are angered by the government’s bargaining tactics, there are many others who argue the BCTF is asking too much and teachers have gone too far. The government also knows that teachers cannot stay off the job much longer. Their strike fund is dwindling, and their resources are drying up. And they know that those teachers who get fed up and leave the profession can be replaced by the hundreds of education graduates churned out each year by universities in B.C. and across the country. Meanwhile, parents who may feel the sting of increased childcare costs should the strike continue, have been offered the salve of a $40-a-day payment. BCTF negotiators may be hoping for a legislated settlement, one that would allow them to face their membership as bruised but not beaten combatants. But the fact is they have played their hand poorly. They have cost their members money that no settlement will recover. They have alienated their CUPE colleagues who suffer every day the schools remain closed. And they have underestimated the will of a government weary of more than two decades of conflict. – Black Press

Ruts in road to farmland T

I can’t tell you much about the official input. B.C. Views The consultation ses- Tom Fletcher sions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the submissions via website are also not public. I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was traveling around B.C. with his camper van, conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much either, except that a summary of the findings should be made public in September as the government considers new regulations. The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on farmland. Also under consideration is allowing breweries and distilleries, as wine and cider production are now allowed, and relaxing rules to permit more off-farm products to be sold from farms. Letnick defended the 30-day summer consultation as adequate. It’s based on 11 questions developed with staff, farm groups and local government. He’s also

not counting how many e-mails were stacked up by proponents or critics. “I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m trying to do is come up with the best balance of recommendations to make to government that can hold their own based on the idea and the potential positive and negative consequences.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham was more forthcoming. She was invited to the formal sessions, and also won’t talk about them directly. But she’s not backing away from her criticisms. The government is proposing to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for several kinds of decisions, including subdivision for family use or into properties of 160 acres or more. “I think the general idea was that people trust the ALC to make that decision, and it should still go through the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commission has been making those decisions anyway, and I think they’ve been quite fair when somebody applies.” She said farmers also aren’t sold on the notion of easing the rules for secondary businesses. “You will already find situations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or something like that attached to somebody’s residence who lives on ALR land,” Popham said. “That sort of stuff has been allowed, but it’s always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. This leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.”

This week’s question: Do you think public schools will open on Sept. 2.? @ Online poll: cast your vote at mapleridgenews.com, or e-mail your vote and comments to editor@mapleridgenews.com

She noted that non-farm activities have a way of growing until they become the main business. A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He said “not one” participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity such as food processing or retailing. And he agreed with Popham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications.

“This is a pullquote, flush let, myriad pro, 16p17.” Name here, title/position Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery, and the conversion needed only local government approval because the production facility was already considered and taxed as light industrial. Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland. Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

The tolls on each bridge could be set at a lower rate and existing toll bridges could be subsidized as necessary with money also being set aside for new crossings. No one area would be getting gouged because of required bridge use.

‘Not at our expense’ Editor, The News: Re: Path to recovery (Letters, Aug. 22). Please do not mistake me for a hater. I do believe in the Caring Place and what it offers and the people it helps. I do believe we have to help the less fortunate. My inability lies with the less fortunate taking advantage and disrupting the surrounding neighbors and neighborhood. I do understand that the Caring Place offers shelter, food and assistance to those in need, but I do not believe it should operate at our expense. Its operation locally presents consequences. Do you have a solution or answer to this problem other than the obvious, which is to move the location of the source? D. Foster Maple Ridge

Editor, The News: Having been a student in this school district for 13 years and now a teacher here for 16, I can honestly say I have never had the feeling I do now as Labour Day weekend approaches. I love my job. I care for the students I teach. In the classroom is where I want to be. I never imagined that I would be seriously considering other employment options, but I find myself thinking about it. The emotional roller coaster that we have been on during this round of bargaining will certainly have a lasting effect once we return to classrooms. If the process underway between the government and teachers is being called bargaining, or negotiating, I thought it would be wise to take a look at what those terms mean. Google defines negotiate as follows: try to reach an agreement or compromise

the

by discussion with others. Obviously, both sides want different things. That’s why we need to negotiate an agreement. However, there has been no real negotiating happening. As a comparison, imagine a conversation between a parent and child where the child is looking for a raise in allowance from $2 a week. The child brings an initial offer: $10 a week. The parent makes a counter offer: $2 a week Child: $8 a week. Parent: We have no money to pay you more than $2 a week (but the family just built a pool in the backyard). Child: $6 a week Parent: We are willing to negotiate 24/7 with you, but you need to come to the ‘affordability zone,’ $2 a week. This is not bargaining. The government is not negotiating.

The government needs to come to the table without predetermined goals as this does not mean compromise. It also needs to come to the table with additional funding to help reduce class sizes and improve class composition. After all, the money was there before the government illegally took it out of the education budget. Where has it gone? Parents, grandparents, everyone who believes in the value of public education, please make your voices heard. Call our MLAs, Doug Bing and Marc Dalton. Call our school trustees. Ask the government to negotiate with teachers. Andrea Munro Maple Ridge

not in the negotiations. But I do have some questions I don’t understand. Parents with kids under 13 will get $40 a day during the strike. If you extrapolate this to a class of 25, that’s a $1,000 a day or $20,000 a month. Now, if a teacher was looking after the same number of kids, that’s $6,000 to $8,000 a month, or $12,000 to $14,000 less per month. The other difference is one is babysat and the other is taught. Also, there are guidelines set down by the B.C. government for daycares that set the level of kids at eight or less per daycare worker, yet a teacher can have 30 or more kids. So why does the government set limits for daycares and not schools? What I’m seeing is it would cost way more to have kids in daycare than in school. Gary Fowle Maple Ridge

Coun. Bob Masse wanted to know how people and cars will cross CP Rail’s train tracks. They’ll do so using two controlled crossings that are already there – one that leads to the wharf, which has gates and lights, and another crossing farther east. “That is the intent, is to enhance those as required, to accommodate the amount of traffic that will happen, both for the residents and the visitors down to the location,” said Norman Laube, with Omicron Canada, partnering in the development with Northview Enterprises, which owns the former log sorting property. The townhouses will be metres from the CP Rail mainline, but construction will include triple window glazing and vibration isolation padding in the foundation. Coun. Mike Morden wanted to know how stable the soil was in the

area. But a geotechnical report by GeoPacific Consultants says the soil conditions will allow building without any piles, which would have to be sunk into the ground, or preloading of soil. “So it’s a very solid, stable base that’s there now,” Laube told council, which first saw a presentation on the proposal in July 2012. Coun. Al Hogarth is concerned about the height and density of residential development along the tracks, where train whistles could prompt complaints. “These are two major crossings where the whistles are going to continue,” he said. “Have you looked at any alternative access to the site?” An overpass over the tracks farther east, where the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is trying to sell property, could provide a link to the Albion Industrial Area.

Instead, buildings in the flood plain are built to ensure the living space is above the Fraser River’s flood of record set in 1894. “My personal bias, and I’m not speaking for the Fraser Basin Council, is the most effective way … is to stay back from the river on high ground.” But he knows that’s not realistic. One compromise for builders would be to raise their building by another, say half a metre, above flood level, to add further protection and protect a project over a longer period of time from the coming effects of climate change and higher water levels. The Fraser Basin Council is currently working on a Lower Mainland Flood Management Strategy to work out a regional plan involving all levels of government. “The costs of responding to a major flood event far outweigh the costs associated with effective, proactive planning and investments across the region,” the council says on its website. More than 300,000 people already live in the flood plain in the Lower Mainland, says the Fraser Basin Council.

Laube said building close to the railway was one of the first questions addressed when planning the project. But he pointed to the new housing project called Bedford Landing in Langley near the CN mainline which uses signalized crossings and sound attenuation measures. An overpass would be expensive and there are only 300 units in all in the multi-phase project, Laube added. Hogarth said in the past, there have been two train derailments within a kilometre of the site. “The question for me would be around looking at the safety,” not just noise, he added. According to the Maple Ridge Museum, a derailment occurred in the 1940s and another on May 2, 1981. A staff report notes that the site is in the floodplain of the Fraser River, but living space will be located above the floodplain elevation. Steve Litke, with the Fraser Basin Council, said building in the flood plain is the norm in the Lower Mainland. “The ideal is we don’t develop those types of areas and give it [the river] more space.”

Rotting tree falls on home

A townhouse complex in west Maple Ridge was evacuated Tuesday after a rotting tree toppled onto a roof of one unit. No one was home at Unit 4 when the tree fell around noon, buckling a large section of the townhouse roof. Carol Godin, who lives in a home behind the complex at 12075 – 207 A Street, heard about five “terrible” cracks and a “thud” before she ran out to investigate. “I figured it was a tree,” said Godin. “We were just discussing it three days ago.” Krystal Pitt and her two children were playing on the deck of the townhouse next door when she, too, heard ominous creaking. She grabbed her kids and ran out of the front door. “I didn’t even wait to see where the tree hit,” Pitt said as she waited for the fire department and an arborist to determined whether it was safe to return home. The split cottonwood was growing in a ravine where McKinney Creek flows and lies in a thicket of trees that are rotting. Assistant fire chief Howard Exner said half of the cottonwood brought down a maple tree, then fell on to the roof and buckled it. “My concern is that the cottonwood is severely cracked and has root damage and we are worried about it dropping on other houses,” Exner added. “The complication is that it is private property ... We have to work with the people who run the strata here.” All five units in the complex were evacuated as a precaution. Residents were not allowed to return home until authorities determined it was safe.

Brush fires sparked along tracks CP Rail investigating cause of all three By M o ni s ha M ar tin s mmartins@mapleridgenews.com

Three brush fires were sparked Friday along train tracks in Maple Ridge, but were quickly extinguished before flames reached homes. The fire department received several calls about the fires after drivers saw smoke billowing towards Lougheed Highway from the Canadian Pacific Rail tracks below around 2 p.m. The first and largest fire ignited near 256th Street and the highway. It grew to 110 feet in length, extending 50 feet up a treed embankment before crews extinguished all the flames. The second fire sparked near 280th Street and spread 100 feet in length and 10 feet wide. “It got a little smaller as the fire progressed east,” said assistant fire chief Michael Van Dop. The third fire near 287th Street was 48 feet long and 10 feet wide. Crews from three fire halls were called in to fight the fires and took more than two hours to put out hot spots. CP Rail confirmed the cause of the fires is still under investigation.

The fire could have been sparked by a hot wheel or brake. “There is no shortage of things on trains that can get hot and throw sparks and cause these sorts of problems,” Van Dop added. Last year in July, two brush fires were started by sparks from a freight train chimney traveling through the same area. Friday’s fires were put out before flames ignited tinder dry brush along a steep slope and spread to homes along the highway. “We were fortunate that no structures or properties were

threatened,” said Van Dop. “That’s why I’m investigating to see if we can find out what happened and see if we can mitigate it in the future. These fires are pretty man-power demanding and it disrupts all kinds of stuff.” Although temperatures are dropping, the wild fire risk in Maple Ridge remained at moderate as of Monday. The Coastal Fire Centre lifted a campfire ban on Tuesday, but Van Dop said with continued warm temperatures, the fire department still wants people to be cautious about where they extinguish cigarettes, light campfires and barbecues.

Thanks Bruce I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

SuperWalk in September In support of Parkinson’s, starts at Pitt Spirit Square B y S teph Trou ghton newsroom@mapleridgenews.com

welve years ago when Maple Ridge resident Wim Hunfeld was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, he was stunned. The 63-year-old grandfather of eight, and longtime landscaper who now babysits and grows produce just to keep his grandchildren healthy, said the news that his shaky pinky was indication of the disease was mind-numbing. “It came as a surprise. It was not something running in my family,” he said. Although devastated to hear the news, Hunfeld decided to take action. He knew he could not give in to the disease’s ability to incapacitate individuals. Hunfeld jokes about the sort of patience Parkinson’s sufferers have to have to manage everyday activities. “You’re a patient who has to have patience,” he says. Defined as a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, Parkinson’s is reported to be more common in older people with most cases occurring after the age of 50. Those who are diagnosed have usually experienced neuropsychiatric symptoms ranging from mild to severe.

Contributed

Wim Hunfeld has helped raised $10,000 for Parkinson’s disease.

Besides staying active in his day-to-day life, Hunfeld is an active participant in the national fundraising event called Parkinson SuperWalk. Since 2010, he has taken part in the event, scheduled to take place this year on Sept. 6 at 11 a.m. at Spirit Square in Pitt Meadows. Hunfeld, with a team of community supporters, has raised more than $10,000 since he began participating in SuperWalk, the largest national fundraising event for Parkinson’s disease. This September, 110 communities across Canada will join the fight to find a cure. Nationwide, the goal is to raise $3 million. “I believe that finding a cure is close at hand,” says Hunfeld. • Participants can register for the SuperWalk at parkinson.bc.ca.

The Alouette River will turn yellow Sunday as a raft of rubber ducks take to the water for the fourth annual Meadow Ridge Rotary Duck Race. The race will take place at 1 p.m. on Sunday at Maple Ridge Park to raise money for local children’s sports. This year, KidSport will be receiving 25 per cent of the proceeds. KidSport gives out grants for children to play sports who wouldn’t necessarily be able to afford to play. Last year, KidSport B.C. helped more than 6,700 children with nearly $1.4 million in grants. Locally, the group helped 330 children participate in sporting activities. Rotary is hoping to sell 10,000 tickets at $10 each to raise $100,000 for the local youth organizations. Last year, $89,555 was raised for 27 non-profit organizations and Rotary youth projects in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Every dollar raised stays in the community. This year, more than half of the tickets have already been sold, said organizer Bob Schantz. “We’ve got the cash in for half, but we have a whole bunch that are outstanding. We’ve called for all of the sold tickets to be in by Friday

One third of B.C. Food Banks don’t have enough food to meet current requirements.

Gordie Sadler and his band 5 on a String return to the True North Fraser Bluegrass Festival this weekend in Maple Ridge. Colleen Flanagan/ THE NEWS

Banjo picker finds bluegrass bent By S teph Tro u g h ton newsroom@mapleridgenews.com

anjo picker Gordie Sadler did not always favor bluegrass over other musical styles.

When Beatles mania was at its height, Sadler was plunking organ keys, keeping rhythm with his rock and roll high school band at the time. But when he heard the sounds of legendary bluegrass artist Bill Monroe, Sadler picked up his banjo and never put it down. Since the age of 20, the father of two daughters and grandfather can recall practicing his banjo, which these days is a featured instrument in his bluegrass band, 5 on a String. The quintet from Belcarra is back at Maple Ridge’s True North Fraser Bluegrass Festival this year, Aug. 29-31 at the Albion Fairgrounds. For the second straight year, the festival is back with a new slate of bluegrass art-

ists, who this year come from as far away as Xenia, San Francisco, Seattle, Victoria and Powell River. Sadler emphasizes organizers are strict about their policy of only new acts, and because of that, was hesitant to play the event again. “We were convinced, however, to come back,” he says. Fans of the band will be grateful for its return on the Albion main stage, as 5 on a String plans to unveil some of its newest renderings from its 25-year anniversary and fifth CD, which has yet to be released. Faster-paced, toe-tapping cover tunes, including the Monroe-classic Big Mon, Little Girl in Tennessee, by Lester Flatts, and Foggy Mountain Top, by the Carter family, are just some of the album’s songs. Five on a String fan favorites, like the four-part harmonies it is known for, will still be part of the set, Sadler adds. Other event favorites that allow organizers to call their show a “wholesome family affair” will be back, as well. Sadler expects the campfire singing circles and unplanned musical jams again. He

recalls having the opportunity to play with Monroe, a headliner at a Seattle festival at the time, because of an impromptu parking lot jam. “Headliners coming down into the parking lot – when do you ever hear of that happening at the bigger festivals?” Sadler asks.

“Headliners coming down into the parking lot – when do you ever hear of that happening at the bigger festivals?” Free nightly corn roasts are back, too. A truck full of approximately 120 dozen cobs of corn are brought to the fairgrounds to feed the more than 120 RVs and 150 tents filled with campers. Brought in from Chilliwack, the corn is the only remaining connection to the event’s 25-year history there.

“When the festival came to Maple Ridge, there was a goal to rebrand the event and make Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows a destination for bluegrass fans,” he explains. The new location and organizers’ efforts may be paying off as festival organizers say feedback at the inaugural event last year was highly positive. Fans preferred the green outdoor ambience of Maple Ridge compared to the flat farm land of Chilliwack, says Sadler. As a result, and the fact the festival marks the end of the bluegrass summer season, organizers are expecting similar camper counts to what they saw in years before it came to Maple Ridge. “We had 120 RVs in Maple Ridge last year compared to some where between 150-175 in Chilliwack, and this year we expect to get the full complement.”

Hip-hop dancer off to worlds Ryan Morrisette is Canada’s asst. captain By S teph Trou g h ton newsroom@mapleridgenews.com

e was not supposed to live beyond the age of eight. Now the four-time Canadian national hiphop champion and cystic fibrosis survivor is setting his sights on the World Hip Hop Championships. Maple Ridge professional hip-hop dancer Ryan Morrissette has made entertainment headlines before with his successful dance career. In 2012, he was part of the CityTV talent show Canada’s Got Talent finals. Morrissette and his eight-member hip hop crew Freshh performed in the competition, which some say paved the way for their domination at the World Hip Hop Dance Championship, held in early August in Las Vegas. Coached by cho-

reographer Cezar Tantoco, who has been dancing since 1984, Freshh, a team comprised of dancers from around Metro Vancouver, took home gold in the event that brought together dance crews from nearly Morrisette 50 countries to compete in four divisions. Morrissette’s latest conquest involves raising funds for the international hip-hop competition happening in September in Bochum, Germany. Selected by the Canadian National Dance Team to represent Canada as the team’s assistant captain, Morrissette has to raise enough funds to cover travel, accommodation, a Team Canada jacket, choreography, coaches and entrance fees. “Auditions for the Canadian National Dance Team brought some of the best dancers from across Canada, vying for a position on the team

to represent Canada at the World level,” said Bonnie Dyer, National Dance Director for Team Canada. Since the age of two, Morrissette has been battling the inherited and fatal lung disease, which causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive tract. “Physical activity is good for it,” said Morrissette. “Cardio opens up your lungs. It makes you have to breathe big,” he told The News in a previous interview.

Donate Support Ryan Sept. 5 at bottle drive at his studio Dance FX, No. 100 - 22722 Dewdney Trunk Road. Drop off bottles from noon until 5 p.m. He will also perform at a 50th anniversary celebration for the Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel, 11969 – 216th Street Sept. 14 from noon to 5 p.m.

In our own province, more than 100,000 people turn to local food banks each year.
