Growing Albion flats could hurt Maple Ridge’s struggling downtown while it’s also costing the city time and money working out a land swap with a mall developer, says mayoralty candidate Nicole Read. “I don’t understand why we’re not putting that same time and resources into Read the town centre to make sure we get that moving.” An inventory of downtown space could attract retailers and encourage locations where people can enjoy outdoor space.

Downtown cop calls up 59 percent Reflects number of street people, but there’s nowhere for them to go: BIA By Nei l Corbe tt ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

Calls for police to remove people not wanted around Maple Ridge’s downtown have risen 59 per cent over last year, according to statistics from Ridge Meadows RCMP.

While there may not be any increase in the numbers of homeless or street people, there is less tolerance for the problems they create. “People are fed up,” said Ineke Boekhorst, executive-director of the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association. She noted that calls to Westridge Security, which is contracted to patrol the downtown for BIA, are also on the rise. As a result, police are doing more patrols in the town centre, and are

less tolerant of people “A lot of the calls are drinking, using drugs, the same people, moved or being publicly intoxifrom one place to ancated. other.” One frustration is that Businesses are trying many of the people who to deal with the probpolice or security ask to lem. leave an area – just reapThe corner of 224th pear elsewhere.

Service to Canada spans generations Maple Ridge family has strong miltary tradition By Nei l Corbe tt ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

aple Ridge’s Jacob family has an impressive military history. Capt. Mike Jacob’s father was with the fleet air arm of the Royal Navy, working as an aircraft engineer during the Second World War. And Mike Jacob, 54, is in the merchant navy, transporting mostly commercial goods, although he took Royal Navy – training that makes him fully qualified to command a navy ship. His service in the military,although comparatively brief, taught him what the life was like. “You didn’t slouch around and your boots were polished,” he laughs. “You come out of there with your head screwed on your shoulders.” He believes everyone would benefit from the emphasis on values such as honesty, integrity and respect. “I wish they had compulsory military service for everyone in Canada – even just a year,” he said. His own career preparation was rigorous – he gave

And officer cadet John Jacob, who is studying at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, and wants to be an air combat systems officer. years of academics followed by 48 months of sea time. And it is ongoing. He is trained as a specialist in tactics against pirate attacks against commercial ships – a scenario popularized in the movie Captain Phillips. “It’s a huge responsibility you hold on your shoulders,” he said of a ship’s captain. He has travelled to highrisk places on the planet working with non-govern-

mental organizations, and has been shot at. Mike lives in Maple Ridge, and works as a consultant on a variety of matters, from security to health and safety. His son John graduated from Meadowridge School, and went into the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ont. He is in his third year at Canada’s own version of the popular West Point military academy in the U.S.

There are 1,100 students, and he is one of a few from B.C. John had been a cadet with the local 583 squadron. He loved the marksmanship, the flight school, and even the parade. It left him with a desire to become a commercial pilot – which would have been following in the footsteps of an uncle who flies for Air India. But in Grade 11, John decided he would get that

training through the air force. “Cadets taught me a lot about the military,” he said. “I had the interest, I had the tradition to uphold, and when I found RMC, I had the opportunity.” The first year was tough, but John has undergone a full indoctrination into military life. “It’s grown on me. It constantly challenges me. I’ve grown a lot as a person,” he said.

One of the keys is perseverance. From his class of 280 who entered RMC, only 207 are left. “There’s a big ‘Never quit’ attitude.” Like most young people, his career goals have changed as he adapted to military life. He wants to be an air combat systems officer in which he monitors communications and does the tactical command of an aircraft.

New cash keeps shelters open on cold nights Provincial dollars for ‘extreme weather’ beds By Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

The B.C. government is riding to the rescue with emergency dollars to keep some beds open during the coldest nights this winter at the Salvation Army’s Caring Place in Maple Ridge.

Until Wednesday, there was no money to pay for 15 extra sleeping spaces that were added at the shelter from November through March. Service Canada used to provide $140,000 yearly to allow the Caring Place to offer the cold-weather beds. But changes to federal funding disqualified those from funding this year. Instead, the provincial government is paying for “extreme weather” beds.

LF E S R U

YO E G N

The Salvation Army applied for funding for that program which allows shelters to provide sleeping space only during miserable winter nights when temperatures drop to 0 C or less. Shelter manager Mike Emery hasn’t Bing heard from the government yet about the money, but suspects it is for extreme-weather beds.

E. G N CHA R U YO P E E BUT K CHA

“It’s a far cry from not having anything, so we’re excited to do it,” Emery said. Each community decides what weather conditions warrant an alert and how many spaces to activate on any night, said a release from B.C. government caucus communications.

The specific amount of money The Caring Place will receive wasn’t included. “Wet weather conditions when combined with cold temperatures can be deadly to vulnerable people, so it is critical to provide a safe and warm place to stay,” said Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Doug Bing. Until September, the Service Canada funding allowed The Caring Place to add a staff person to care for the additional clients. That

allowed The Caring Place to expand capacity from 25 to 40 beds. But under the federal government’s new Housing First approach, 65 per cent of money for the Homelessness Partnering Strategy must go to physical living spaces for people. It means money needed to operate an emergency shelter does not qualify and has also affected the Iron Horse Youth Safe House which may close next year.

Long time for LRT: Morden Smart Centres paying costs Election from 5

She said it’s not certain if a mall will work in the Albion flats area, nor is the impact on the downtown fully understood. “People coming in there, are actually taking customers away from our town centre.” Read was replying to a question at the chamber of commerce Maple Ridge mayoralty debate Tuesday as campaigns wind down and voting day approaches, Nov. 15. Ernie Daykin said later that the outcome of the talks between Maple Ridge and Smart Centres soon could be announced, three years after the Agricultural Land Commission rejected development of the land west of 105th Avenue at Lougheed Hwy. Smart Centres has most of its land on the west side of 105th and wants to swap with the city’s land on the east side of 105th where the ALC said it would consider development. Daykin disagreed that the negotiations are costing a lot of time and money. Smart Centres is paying both legal and consulting costs, he added. If a deal is reached, the public will have input and council will have the final say. “There’s still potential for something else down there,” if a deal falls through.The city wants light industry and recreational use throughout the area. Candidates were asked how they would encourage economic development. Graham Mowatt said Maple Ridge has to invite businesses to locate here and said the economic development department, Strategic Economic Initiaitives, has to be reworked. “I think they have been a failure,” he said. Mike Morden said he’d like the economic development department to be an independent company. Candidates answered a range of questions directed to them individually. Mowatt said the Arts Centre Theatre, where the luncheon took place, could be a good place for

Ernie Daykin, Mike Morden, Graham Mowatt and Nicole Read at debate Tuesday. a new Maple Ridge Museum and archives. Someone else asked Morden if Maple Ridge ever would see a light rail link to Coquitlam. Before that happens, TransLink’s organization has to be fixed, Morden said. “But light rapid transit is a long way out.” Senior government is slow, he added. Maple Ridge’s role in TransLink also was questioned. Read said Maple Ridge may have to take a hard look at its membership in the Metro Vancouver-based transportation agency. “We actually need something for the dollars we put in.” People want more West Coast Express runs, a B-Line

“I have no use for TransLink. They don’t care about us.” Graham Mowatt candidate to the new Evergreen Line in Coquitlam and community shuttles so seniors can move around Maple Ridge, she said. Mowatt had similar thoughts, saying membership in TransLink would be worth reviewing. “I have no use for TransLink. They don’t care about us.” He opposes road tolls to fund transportation because people in Maple Ridge have no choice

but to drive. Asked what would make a vibrant downtown and Daykin said “people are the start. Positive activity will overcome the negative activity.” Changing parking time limits in the downtown to encourage more shopping, would require discussion with Downtown Maple Ridge Improvement Association, he added. “Maybe it’s time to revisit that.” Gary Cleave however didn’t participate, after saying earlier he disagreed with an event that charged $25 (for the lunch) in order to hear candidates. Instead, he had his brown bag lunch in the lobby of the ACT in protest.

It’s dark, rainy and dangerous

aylight saving time ended on the weekend. Let’s hope you enjoyed your extra hour of sleep. It will serve you well. Because for the next few months, you’ll have to be extra vigilant on the road. Whether you’re driving a vehicle, riding a bike or walking. The dark, rainy months of the West Coast winter are some of the deadliest for pedestrians. With darkness now descending just as the afternoon rush hour peaks, it’s harder to see people crossing dark, wet pavement. Add to that the endless rain that lashes us from October through February, and it’s a recipe for tragedy. A 2012 report by the City of Vancouver said nearly half of all pedestrian fatalities in the city occur in January and February. There are about 250 pedestrian collisions a month from November through January. Education and enforcement campaigns are helping reduce those numbers. But it’s common sense that most likely will keep you from joining those statistics. Drivers need to be alert. That means minimizing distractions, electronic or otherwise, when they’re behind the wheel. Travel at sensible speeds, leave plenty of room to stop or take evasive action, and know your route. Pedestrians should wear bright clothing, or attach reflective strips. They should cross at marked, preferably lit, crosswalks, and not jaywalk where drivers may not expect to see them. They should never take for granted that a driver can see them. A little forethought will ensure we all see the next morning’s light. – Black Press Tell us what you think @ www.mapleridgenews.com

Salmon, sturgeon all around us Trek to spawning streams, Part 2: salmon, sturgeons, and sasquatches.

“I

wonder if Arnold Sturgeonator died of loneliness,” Janis said on the platform overlooking the sturgeon Along the Fraser pool at Inches Creek Jack Emberly Fish Hatchery. My wife and I left off near here two weeks ago on our annual salmon pilgrimage to Weaver Creek Spawning Channel, but ran out of daylight after searching for Hawkins Creek. In 1979, I counted pink and chum in Hawkins up the road from Inches. Gravel removal in nearby Norrish Creek lowered the water table and Hawkins – fed by Norrish – disappeared. For years, Arnold, a spiny, seven-metre monster sturgeon slipped under the feet of Chinese tourists and the Grade 6 kids I bused up the Fraser River for our salmonid enhancement unit in science. “Kids love all living things,” I recalled. “They said it was mean to sentence Arnold to isolation and monotony.” “What did he die of?” Janis asked. I pointed to a woman near a DFO shed. “Told me Arnold was 70, and something else that surprised me … he wasn’t a guy.”

uestion of the week:

“A carefully designed secret?” “Amber Sturgeon-ator wouldn’t ‘pump you up’ like one named Arnold. When the big fish died, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans found two 10 footers to replace her.” “One of each sex?” “They don’t breed them. Arnold again, a male this time, and Henry - an odd couple about 50. The F.O. said all information must come from Communications, but took a chance on telling me that.” You had to search dark water to detect Arnie 2 and Hank. One Chinese tourist didn’t. “Only one fish, too small,” he complained. “Bigger in Oregon. Better for me.” Back at the highway, we crossed Nicomen Slough, a body of Fraser River water that surrounds farmland. The Slough – a popular sports fishery – has had 75-1,500 coho and 400-3,500 chum over the years. But farming has its impacts. “This stream contains very good gravel, but over the years it has become covered with silt and plant growth,” notes the catalogue. The Sasquatch Café sits on the corner of the Highway and Morris Valley Road, the turn off to Weaver Creek. Near here, in the 80’s, a Greyhound passenger screamed, “Look, a sasquatch!” The driver, jumped out, and sped after it, but the hairy beast eluded his grasp. “I was so close,” panted the driver, “I could smell it.” Later, the passenger and his buddy – the stinky sasquatch – confessed the hoax. Chehalis Flats, (100,000 chum in 1978)

Do you agree with the CBC’s decision to fire Jian Ghomeshi? Yes: 81% – No: 19%

just before the Hatchery on Morris Road, is an estuary where the Chehalis and Harrison rivers meet. We sip hot chocolate, and watch eagles contemplating a feast. The parking lot at Weaver Creek Channel (20,269 sockeye, 1,747 chum, 1,101 pink to date) is full. DFO hasn’t promoted this successful collaboration of man and nature. Why no displays of indigenous fishing methods, or smoked salmon and native art? People should be in uniform proudly relaying the salmon life cycle and the history of a rich commercial fishery decimated by poor management and habitat abuse. A bit up the road, Sakwi Creek (pink, chum, coho) joins Weaver. In ’79, both creeks were so thick with fish you could walk across their backs. The overflow dug redds in ditches destined to dry up. DFO didn’t expand the spawning area. At dusk we headed home. “Are escapements better now, or worse than ’79?” Janis asked. “I’ll find out,” I said, “look for a recent catalogue, talk to DFO in Mission.” I assumed – naively – DFO would still be monitoring streams closely, using escapement numbers to predict adult returns along the Fraser River to intelligently plan openings for commercial and sports fishing. I assumed – naively – escapements would guide protection and enhancement efforts. Getting the facts wasn’t easy, and what I discovered shocked me more than Arnold’s secret life as a female. … to be continued.

THE NEWS/letters/letters Shape up, Pitt city Editor, The News: The recent article (Banners honour Pitt Meadows vets, The News, Oct. 31) showcasing the new Vet Banners was marvellous. Thank you to everyone who put these banners together. The accompanying article hit a nerve and not just with me. The drama and dogfights it produced could have been completely avoided with the level of communication one would expect from city hall with any event. City hall must realize that good communication is expected of mature government, and someone at city hall should have been tasked with sending an e-mail to all councillors and staff, so everyone had an opportunity to attend. We all know what is said about assuming Ms. Walters … In fact, I am surprised there wasn’t an earlier notice in the paper for this so members of the public who would have liked to see these banners raised and vets honoured also could attend. City hall’s new candidates (and encumbants) should show a consistant lack of: petty politics, the blame game, exclusionism, unprofessionalism, flip-flopping on issues and statements, avoiding people who don’t agree with them, rushing major projects through council without proper public consultation and process (or once receiving same, ignoring or redacting parts as convenient). My new city hall should be: professional, business-like with in-depth business experience, open with information to the public, have opinions, ideals and common sense that it stands by and should demonstrably define Pitt Meadows city hall from its neighbours in process and action.

Money for people, not war Editor, The News: I had the opportunity to attend The Caring Place forum for the mayors’ debate Monday night. This was an excellent debate and it was well attended by our local citizens who were interested in hearing what the mayoral candidates had to say. The issues of homelessness/ poverty were the main focus of this evening’s session. And, there was plenty of opinions on how to tackle this complex and growing problem. For one, the continual abdication by right-wing governments to cut funding to the many organizations who assist the needy in our communities is clear, and must change. It is not the responsibility of charitable organizations to take care of less-fortunate Canadians in need. It is the government’s responsibility to help their citizens when they need assistance in affordable housing,

People packed The Caring Place Monday to talk about homelessness and poverty. food, etc. In fact, it was when the federal government cut its housing programs for Canadians, that homelessness flourished in our cities! If this government can afford to spend billions to help fight America’s wars abroad,

then it can afford to help Canadians with affordable housing. It is a travesty that this government has cut funding for our winter beds in this and other cities, while giving tax breaks to the richest in our

Ghost Ridge makes $17k Local groups scare up funds By Colleen Fla n ag a n cflanagan@mapleridgenews.com

Numbers were down at Ghost Ridge this year. The haunted house took in $17,880 – about $1,000 less than last year. But, it won’t affect what will be given to the non-profit groups that participated. The Maple Ridge Bruins Rugby Club, the Inritius Alliance LARP group and Maple Ridge Country Fest will each receive $4,500 with the balance going back to next year’s Ghost Ridge. Committee member Lorraine Bates said the turnout was a bit disappointing, especially with the extra effort volunteers took to advertise over social media. “It is very labour intensive,” said Bates. “A month to six weeks it takes to put the house together and then it’s

seven days of having to man different stations, and then acting. At the end of it, there were more sets that each group was responsible for.” Seven days was a long haul, even for the students. “Then you have to tear it all down,” she explained, speculating that maybe one of the reasons for the low turnout is the amount of haunted houses popping up in the area. Next year, Bates is hoping to open the haunted house for five days, down from seven this year. “It’s very similar to the fair. There was not much difference between a three-day fair and a two-day fair.” But, on the last night when the volunteers were finished, even though they were exhausted, they were talking about what they are going to do for next year’s Ghost Ridge. “That’s what success looks like,” said Bates.

Ex-min. worried Former B.C. Transportation Minister Kevin Falcon made a strong appeal for rapid transit at a business luncheon Wednesday in Surrey and hinted at discomfort with Premier Christy Clark’s submitting new TransLink taxes to a referendum. The former deputy premier, who is now in real estate, repeatedly underscored the importance of new transit lines, crediting them for the “phenomenal” growth of private sector investment along the SkyTrain and Canada Lines. “I don’t like the fact that so much time has to pass under a referendum scenario when we could actually be moving projects forward and getting them done,” Falcon said. – Black Press

“You handle the mission side, and the pilot handles the flying side,” he explained. “I enjoy the tactical aspect – you’re the guy moving the chess pieces.” The idea of being deployed into a combat situation is not fear inspiring. “I’m excited to do my part. I want to be deployed,” he said. But speaking with others who have done the same job, hearing what can go wrong, John is motivated to train and prepare for a situation when lives may depend on him. He will graduate in two years as a second lieutenant, but based on his career progression, should be promoted to

captain inside of four years. “That will be fun,” said his dad, “because anytime someone says ‘Captain Jacob’ we’ll both turn around.” He’s proud of his son’s pursuit of a military career. “It’s a noble deed.

She said business owners and other members of the public are discouraged from giving street people money. Rather, she advised them to offer a sandwich or some food. “You’ll find most people don’t want that,” she said. Coun. Bob Masse, who has a chiropractic practice in the downtown, said business owners should be encouraged to report their complaints to police, so

the RCMP know where to allocate resources. “That’s how policing is effective – looking at areas and seeing patterns,” he said. “They need that input.” Masse logged some of the complaints, he said, reporting people who were “getting comfortable” on a business property, drinking and doing drugs. He said they create a poor environment for customers. “People do not want to have to deal with that.”

Police are focusing on the downtown drug problem, and in the past three weeks have conducted searches of five residences associated with the drug trade. That has yielded a significant supply of drugs – approximately 900 doses of heroin, cocaine and the synthetic heroin known as fentanyl. Police have also seized stolen property and illegal firearms at these houses. Two people have been charged. The RCMP say the downtown drug trade

and drug use is directly related to theft in and around the downtown core. “We’re taking a proactive approach to it – trying to reduce our calls for service,” said an RCMP spokesman. Boekhorst said the money needed to hire Westridge security makes up about 30 per cent of the BIA’s budget. “We could do a lot of other things with that money – revitalizing, beautifying and events,” she said. “The problem is there, and it’s not going away.”

30 years of Pitt elections By Les lie No r man Contributed

n Nov. 15, we go to the polls and this year we elect our mayor and council for four years. For some of us it does not seem so long ago (1987) that we started electing our local government for three year terms, bidding adieu to the alternating two-year system that often meant turnover in government due to unpopular, but often necessary decisions. These were the days of the Dewdney-Alouette Regional District, our own garbage dump, our own sewage treatment facility, small government and small taxes. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, we closed our dump and created a park. We closed our sewage treatment facility and moved to the regional one and, by 1990, we left DARD and became part of the GVRD. Our population increased from 2,780 in 1971 to more than 8,000 in 1986, and with the increase came a second two-lane crossing of the Pitt River and the eventual expansion of the Pitt Meadows airport. Sunday shopping was approved and a landfill in Pitt Polder was halted. Below is a recap of the some of the issues facing candidates leading up to Pitt Meadows elections starting in the early 1980s. Leading up to a 1981 by-election to replace Coun. Jacobsen, council went on record as being opposed to the expansion

#MyHammond Mayor Austring and his council in 1967. of the airport and also voted against extending the city’s boundaries to include Pitt Polder. Dave Duncan was elected to council. Leading up to the 1983 election, the GVRD (now Metro Vancouver) was looking at a 600-acre portion of Pitt Polder to use as a landfill for Vancouver, but this was finally abandoned in August of 1982. Airport expansion continued to be an issue with the airport society and the ratepayers at loggerheads over it. Danny Sharpe was returned as mayor. Leading up to the 1985 election, some issues were Pitt Meadows airport runway expansion, increased development, and fair share of policing. Leading up to the 1987 election, a developer was proposing a strata titled twin tower complex for the Meadows Garden Gold Course, and the year was the worst ever for property crime in the area. Bud Tiedeman became mayor.

Leading up to the 1990 election, in the spring Pitt Meadows made the first overtures at including Pitt Polder in its boundaries, Doman Industries was turned down in its bid to develop land on the Fraser River, and DARD gave approval for two golf courses in the Pitt Polder. Those running on a ticket of building a new recreational facility were not elected. Tiedeman returned as mayor. Leading up to the 1993 election, there was a projected 32 per cent tax increase in 1992 that was reduced to 6.5 per cent by using money from reserves and by canceling some infrastructure projects. Duncan became mayor by a seven-vote margin over Tiedeman. Leading up the 1996 election, the amalgamation of Pitt Polder into Pitt Meadows and the start of West Coast Express service happened in 1995, Interfor’s Bay Lumber closed and counter flow lane construction at the Pitt River Bridge began. Duncan was elected

After a rash of thefts, Ridge Meadows RCMP want to advise owners of recreational vehicles, boats, trailers and motor homes to safeguard their batteries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ridge Meadows RCMP have noted a number of RV batteries being reported stolen over the last month, many from recreation vehicles parked in own-

erâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driveways,â&#x20AC;? said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Police have not been able to identify the suspects yet and/or determine the location and use of the stolen batteries. She said the RCMP wants owners to take the necessary precautions, and when winterizing their boats, trailers or motor homes to

remove the battery and store it in a safe location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a good idea to remove the propane tanks as well, as long as they can be stored safely and securely away from the unit.Â In these cases an ounce of prevention can be the cure,â&#x20AC;? said Dunlop.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Grant cutsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Election from 11

Cuts to provincial government grants caused farm and residential taxes to rise, but business taxes remained the same. There was also a referendum on borrowing to build the new recreation centre. It was approved and the centre opened the following year. Don MacLean became mayor and stated â&#x20AC;&#x153;the people sent a message that the north side of the Lougheed Highway is not for sale.â&#x20AC;? Leading up to the 2008 election, candidates were questioned about the main issue for the OCP, drainage and transportation. MacLean was returned as mayor. Leading up to the 2011 election, candidates were questioned about development north of the highway, farmland preservation and farm home plates, as well as marijuana bylaws and property tax levels. Work began on the Pitt Meadows Seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Activity Centre and residents are polled on the question of increased taxes for a new indoor pool. Debra Walters was elected as Pitt Meadowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first female mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Leslie Norman is curator at the Pitt Meadows Museum.

Transportation promises: mid-election reality check Candidates big on talk, low on power to fix transit B y J eff Nagel Black Press

A raft of municipal election promises to improve transit and unclog traffic jams are being floated by candidates across Metro Vancouver. The most ambitious projects are in the region’s two biggest cities: the $3-billion Broadway subway backed by Vancouver’s two major civic parties as well as a $1.8-billion light rail network in Surrey. As well, Vancouver mayoral contender Kirk Lapointe has proposed counterflow lanes to reduce congestion on major arterials while former Surrey mayor Doug McCallum, says he’ll create HOV lanes on King George Boulevard, 152 Street and Fraser Highway. (He proposes digging up the median and otherwise widening corridors to create the additional lanes.)

district’s hydro consumption and its $2.63 million in utility bills. School board chairman Mike Murray explained the position is being created for a oneyear trial, with subsequent years dependent on results. B.C. Hydro will share in the cost of hiring the energy manager, so the cost to the district will be in the $25,000$50,000 range, said secretary-treasurer Flavia Coughlan. The position is budgeted for $100,000 in salary and benefits, and Hydro will pay a maximum of 75 per cent. The utility company will pay 50 per cent, with bonus fund-

ing of $25,000 depending on performance. Hydro has increased its electricity rates and the annual cost to the board will be an estimated $85,000 per year. Coughlan noted the board has hired consultants to look for energy savings. She pointed to Thomas Haney secondary and Websters Corners elementary as two schools where energy savings can be had, calling them “low-hanging fruit.” The combined projects will cost approximately $550,000, but about $200,000 may be available in grants through BC Hydro incentive programs. Then,

in future years, the projects will give the board $93,000 per year in energy savings. District-wide, the board has identified potential energy savings of 4.42 million kilowatt hours, which would save the district $380,000 per year. The cost of all of the energy upgrades would be $4 million, and take four years, so the district would recuperate its investment in more than 10 years. Coughlan said there would be about 30 projects for the energy manager to oversee, and noted each brings a lot of paperwork. She advised trust-

tees that in 2009 the board signed the B.C. Climate Action Charter, with a mandate to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The board currently pays about $100,000 per year in carbon taxes. An energy management program for the district is being developed. The primary opportunities for efficiency gains are: Lighting retrofits; Heating, ventilating and air conditioning; Operating and maintenance practices. The board also approved the use of up to $200,000 from its local capital fund for conservation projects.

TLink promises possible? TransLink from 14

Neither Lapointe’s counterflow lanes – which Price calls an “absurd” idea – nor McCallum’s HOV lanes could be put in without the OK of TransLink, which controls the Major Road Network and could also veto a truck ban on the Pattullo Bridge – another idea from New Westminster.

Could Surrey go it alone? As for Surrey’s light rail lines, McCallum – a former TransLink board chair – is prepared, like other candidates, to lobby for federal and provincial money. He expects the TransLink funding referendum next spring will fail, leaving Surrey to go it alone. “It’s probably a low probability it will pass,” McCallum said, declining to say whether he as mayor would campaign for the ‘Yes’ side until he sees a question on what new taxes would be levied. “I don’t support going to referendum at all.” Observers like Price say it’s not out of the question for Surrey to

“There are lots of shiny baubles being thrown around … with nobody offering any kind of plan to pay for them.” Jordan Bateman, CTF go its own way – he says Surrey’s light rail system clearly should get priority ahead of Vancouver’s Broadway SkyTrain extension — but it’s unlikely to get senior government funding without being part of a regional transit solution. “There’s nothing to stop Surrey from seceding from TransLink and funding its own rail system but there’s no money to pay for that,” says SFU political science professor Anthony Perl. Ultimately, the provincial government says what happens with major transportation projects and there’s little mayors and councillors can do about it. “They don’t have a lot of levers or cards to play,” Perl said. “They have to follow the golden rule, which

is ‘those that have the gold make the rules.’ ” Perl says if municipal leaders want to improve transportation using powers they actually have, they might start by creating bus-only lanes, or banning onstreet parking – even if that riles merchants and local motorists.

Road to referendum After new councils are elected Nov. 15, people may soon have to vote again on the future of transit expansion. The TransLink funding referendum is supposed to happen by March but there’s still no deal between the province and the current mayors’ council on whether the mayors’ full $7.5-billion, 10-year transportation vision can be put to voters. The plan includes both the Surrey and Vancouver rapid transit extensions. Nor is the tax source settled – the options still on the table are a regional carbon tax, a vehicle levy or a regional sales tax – and the province has yet to commit

its requested one third contribution. Metro mayors meet in December in hopes of hammering out an agreement with Transportation Minister Todd Stone. That’s when Price and Bateman expect the political fireworks to resume over the referendum, which they say has not been a major issue during local campaigns. “Nobody really wants to talk about it much,” Bateman said, adding he’s surprised. “It’s not a winning issue for mayors to talk about regional tax increases. They want to get in for four more years first.” To Price, the fact that “this dog did not bark” is cause for optimism that incoming councils will stay united behind the transit expansion plan and that public support is growing. Most mayors oppose the referendum, promised by Premier Christy Clark in the 2013 provincial election as a condition for provincial approval of any new tax for TransLink.

Kirkland’s cabin, name stuck Looking B ac k By Sheila Nickols

any hikers, Rovers, Girl Guides and Boy Scouts remember staying overnight in Kirkland’s cabin, a rustic structure that stood near Lake Beautiful on the way to Battery Mountain. According to scouting historian Chris Guedes, it should probably have been known as Howe or Ferguson cabin. The late Don Merkley told Guedes that the place was built as a hunting cabin in 1930 by three young men: Hugh Howe, Hector Ferguson and Aubrey Kirkland. The cabin was located in the area where the Abernethy and Lougheed Logging Company had recently finished its railroad logging on the south slopes of the Golden Ears mountains. It was not yet parkland, so was open to hunting. The story goes that Howe paid for most of the cabin materials and hired Ferguson to do

Kirkland’s cabin in the late 1940s. the building. He would hike there after work to continue construction until dark, so did most of the building. Meanwhile, Kirkland spent his social time in the Maple Ridge Hotel beer parlour, boasting about “his” cabin in the mountains. The name stuck, and it has always been referred to as Kirkland’s cabin. Scouts, Girl Guides and Rovers began using ‘their’ cabin starting in 1937. A notice in the June 23, 1939 Gazette

newspaper invited hikers to an open house to celebrate the second anniversary of the scout cabin “in the foothills of Alouette Mountain.” There was no road access to the Golden Ears area in those days, so hikers usually followed the abandoned railway grades previously used by the logging company. Scouts and Rovers who have used the cabin remember it contained two large shelves on which a number of people could spread out their sleeping

bags. There was a pot bellied stove for cooking and heat. It was the custom of the time to leave the cabin neat and tidy after each use, with a fresh supply of firewood for the stove. Apparently when Scouts and Girl Guides used the cabin, Marjorie Saunders would come along to act as chaperone. Recently, Doreen McPherson discovered four snapshots of Kirkland’s cabin in a bible belonging to her late husband, Fred McPherson. These photos were taken in the late 1940s, when Fred McPherson was a patrol leader in the Scouts. In one image, McPherson, his troop leader Alan Luck and another patrol leader, Bill Mundell, are seen on the top of Battery Mountain with the Needle in the background. This level space where they sat was later the site of a cairn, built and rebuilt by succeeding groups of Rovers. People may remember McPherson from the time he worked in his father’s restaurant, the Paradise Inn, or his longer career as an agent for Haney Realty. Doreen McPherson worked for a time in the Eaton’s catalogue office on 224th Street. Anyone trying to find Kirkland’s cabin today will be disappointed. After the Golden Ears area became a provincial park in the late 1950s with road access, more people could enter the area. The cabin was vandalized from time to time. In the 1970s, park staff took the cabin down. Sheila Nickols is pastpresident of the Maple Ridge Historical Society.

Province likes freeways TransLink from 17

And if it’s defeated or shelved, transit users can forget about more bus service that all city councils have demanded.

A system stretched The transit system is stretched to the limit, but more residents arrive each year, increasing demand. Transit service per capita peaked in 2009 and is forecast to drop to 2004 levels over the next five years without more revenue. Planning experts like Price say failure means fast-growing new neighbourhoods won’t get the transit service

they need, forcing their residents to be car-dependent. Compounding that, he says, is the province’s penchant for building freeways and bridges. A new six-lane bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel is being designed by the province and will be built with or without expanding transit. Like the Port Mann Bridge, the Massey rebuild never went to a referendum. Bateman criticizes the province for promising the new bridge without a business case to assess if it’s needed. Another project that’s also expected to go ahead, no matter what,

Remembrance Day Tuesday, November 11

Remembrance Day busy Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge’s Remembrance Day ceremonies are always well attended. The Tuesday, Nov. 11 observance in Maple Ridge will begin at 10:30 a.m., with a parade from the Royal Canadian Legion building (at 224th Street and Brown Avenue) to the cenotaph in Memorial Peace Park. The park’s name derives from its role as the home for the memorials to the men and women who have served the armed forces both in war and in peace. The centrepiece of the park is the cenotaph that was originally located near the Maple Ridge Cemetery. The march includes veterans, RCMP officers, the Maple Ridge Fire Department, Corrections Services, cadets and scouting organizations. At 11 a.m., there will be a fly past, and a moment of silence and laying of wreaths. The event will end between 11:30 and noon. There will be road closures from 10 a.m to noon for the event, and 224th Street will be closed from Brown to 119th Avenue. Maple Ridge is the largest legion branch in B.C. with 2,072 members and always provides a good turnout for the ceremonies.

City Car: Kia Soul EV & Smart ForTwo Electric Drive. Bob’s Pick: Both entries are small electric vehicles and they’re close in terms of performance, but the Kia Soul EV is my choice.

The Tahoe sits very high off the ground so the power side step is a wonderful addition along with a power tailgate and backup camera.

he all-new 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is part of a full suite of large trucks from General Motors. These range from the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Denali and the Cadillac Escalade. Something of interest is the preference Canadians have for the GMC brand over the Chevrolet trucks, which are the most popular in the United States. More Canadians go for GMC and the U.S. loves Chevrolet, the complete reverse. Regardless, all of these GM trucks represent the majority of full-size truck sales in Canada. GM kind of has a lock on big vehicles able to move a large family, tow a trailer and now do it with much greater efficiency. These are all based on the award winning full-size Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks that arrived in 2014. GM has taken much of what made those some of the most comfortable vehicles to drive and baked it into the Tahoe and others. • Looks: In the Chevrolet family the Tahoe is the short wheelbase version and the Suburban is the longer wheelbase model, with much

Auto sensory overload Vegas-like atmosphere, where even in the dead of night, you’d be fooled into thinking it’s daytime. The illuminated multi-colour bulbs pulse as gatherers from all over soak it all in. Then there are the casinos. One could also experience a sensory overload when a Jaguar F-Type R Coupe growls with purpose as it saunters down the road. Inside the cabin, you’re greeted with everything that might make your senses tingle. A carefully crafted cabin, an eight-speed

automatic transmission and 550 prancing ponies from a 5.0L, V8 engine, wait patiently to be unleashed on a purpose-built handling course. Not to mention, there’s also a Porsche 911 Turbo S, a BMW M4 and Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible all eager to accompany you on a test loop. Those four vehicles comprise the Prestige – Performance (over $75K) category at the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada’s annual TestFest, a

time when journalists from all across Canada have the opportunity to back-to-back test what’s new on the market. Before my senses went into overdrive (with the Jaguar and others), I had a much more sensible time with my specifically assigned categories. The first of three groups I tested was the small car, under $21,000, which included the Honda Fit and the Nissan Micra. Then there was the SUV/ CUV under $35,000 class

And finally, Sports/Performance under $50,000 that allowed me to get behind the wheel of the BMW M235i, Ford Mustang (with the 2.3L, 4-cylinder Ecoboost engine), the Kia Forte Koup, Subaru WRX STI and the VW GTI. The Nissan Micra, for just under $16,000 is a great value and the car is fun to drive. Then there’s the Subaru Outback ($33,695-price as tested), which was a surprise for me. It didn’t break a sweat on the off-road portion of the test and drove really nicely on the road. Of course, I can’t complain when I have the keys to the seventh generation VW GTI, or the Subaru WRX STI, or even the BMW M235i. Yes, it’s fun to enjoy the combined effort of engineering, design, and execution prowess, but the modus operandi of the week-long event is to pick the best of the best. While it’s fantastic to take out some of the most incredible machines on the market, I was pleasantly surprised how much I took to the city car category. Driving the Kia Soul EV and the smart electric drive

were definite highlights. Being a huge fan of EVs, it’s nice to know that the category is growing. I mean, I’d love to be able to afford a Tesla Model S (as would many), it’s just not always a reality. But the pint-sized smart and the roomier Soul EV are ideal urban rompers. Another noteworthy vehicle that impressed me was the Volvo V60 Polestar. Clad in a Rebel Blue exterior colour, it was a hoot experience. With 345 horsepower from a turbocharged six-cylinder engine, the all-wheel drive wagon is not only practical, but also something that left me wanting to drive it again and again. There’s room for five and a couple strollers in the trunk. A perfect family hatch. Then there was the Challenger Hellcat. I mean, 707 horsepower in an urban setting seems like overkill, no? Nevertheless, Dodge has done a fabulous job with updating the interior and overall refinement of the vehicle that now turns even more heads. Winners will be announced here starting in December. alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

Tahoe from 23 It uses direct injection technology and has the ability to switch off half of the cylinders to help save fuel. There is a small indicator light on the instrument cluster that tells the driver when the engine is running on just four cylinders. This helps the driver feather the throttle to keep the engine in this fuel saving mode as long as possible. When more power is needed, the engine automatically reverts to all eight cylinders for maximum power. These tricks help improve city fuel economy by seven percent and highway consumption by ten percent. Verdict The Tahoe tested was the top LTZ trim with the magnetic ride control, the same system used in the Corvette Stingray.

This system monitors the road condition up to 1,000 times per second and adjusts the shock absorbers up to 100 times per second to improve ride and handling. This along with the smooth engine and quiet ride makes the Tahoe feel like a big, luxury sedan. It is no wonder that people who have these big trucks love them. One thing to consider when choosing which truck to buy is the available engine. The GMC Denali and Cadillac Escalade trucks have a larger 6.2L V8, which is much quicker and more capable. This Tahoe is just part of the full-line of trucks from GM that dominate the market, and for good reason. These are well-designed, well-made and supremely comfortable vehicles for a large family.

Classic style comes through in black and white The classic look of black and white will never go out of style, which is why the 107 brand new townhomes in Burquitlam are the perfect blend of location, opportunity and price. With three storeys, two colors and endless possibility, the Black+Whites on Foster are located on a quiet residential street near several parks and schools, while remaining conveniently close to Highway 1 and Lougheed Town Centre. Director of Sales, Barrett Sprowson ensures that with the growing and changing neighborhood, including new shopping, new transit (Evergreen Line) and new amenities, this is the kind

of living environment that will only continue to get better. With a focus on detail, Black+Whites combines an architectural design that is sophisticated, timeless, elegant and tailored. The exterior is highlighted by formal manicured hedges, rich detailed brick and hardi-board cladding combined in strong color contrasts; creating visual appeal from the very first glance. “This community is going to have a very striking streetscape impression for decades to come,” says Sprowson.

The three-bedroom Black+Whites townhomes built by Intracorp, start from the low $500,000s, while the four-bedroom homes start from $590,000.

Vote like a gardener By Mike Lascelle

When casting a vote for any candidate, you should be asking yourself what is their motive for standing for election.

to pressure the province to fund mental health issues and provide adequate subsidized housing. • Development: Should we develop Maple Ridge from the city core and work our way out? Why are residential developments being allowed to proceed in areas far from schools and other important municipal amenities? Both are important questions that candidates need to have an answer for before they receive your vote. • Motive: When casting a vote for any candidate, you should be asking yourself what is

✃

I know that most of you were expecting an article about getting the garden ready for the colder weather or perhaps winter-flowering shrubs this week, but there is something else on the table that is a little more pressing. It is going to occur on Nov. 15, and you should mark that date on your calendar, as 75 per cent of you missed the last one. That pressing appointment is our municipal election, which matters even more now as the terms are being extended from three to four years. Communities all around us are changing at breakneck speeds and it only takes a quick trip over the Pitt River Bridge to the quagmire called Port Coquitlam to realize that both Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge are on the cusp of that rampant development that often deprives a community of its very identity. Don’t get me wrong, I fully understand that we need both residential housing to accommodate all those who want to live here and businesses to provide local jobs and tax revenue. But where and when these take place is critical in our development as a sustainable city. With that in mind, here are a few ‘hot topics’ to consider when you cast your vote this year. • Public transportation: Having two daughters who relied on public transit for their commutes to university, I can say with all certainty that it is absolutely inadequate and overpriced for the service provided. The problem is TransLink, a bloated bureaucracy that has proven itself incapable of making financially responsible decisions, preferring to gorge on additional taxes or defer the hard decisions onto local mayors. • Protecting the environment: We live in an incredibly beautiful place with its lakes, rivers, mountains and abundant wildlife, but all of that is at risk when we just look at it as stream setbacks that need reducing or something in the way of development. • Homelessness: If you are old enough to remember the drastic provincial cuts to mental health supports in the 1980s, then it is easy to see the direct correlation between this and the increase of homelessness. Local politicians need

their motive for standing for election. Do they just have a political axe to grind, are they seeking to influence development decisions for reasons other than what’s best for the community, or do they just have a genuine desire to make Maple Ridge a better place to live? Voting for a provincial or federal party is easy when compared to the individuals we elect on the municipal level, especially when 26 people are running for council, five for mayor and 12 for school board.

Flames host league’s best sports@mapleridgenews.com

The Ridge Meadows Flames got back to winning ways just in time for a real challenge. The Flames beat the Delta Ice Hawks 5-4 at the Ladner Leisure Centre on Tuesday night. The Flames will host the North Vancouver Wolf Pack, who have gone 151-0-2 so far this season, and lead the Pacific Junior Hockey League. That game goes tonight (Friday) at 7:30 p.m. at Planet Ice. On Tuesday, the local Junior Bs jumped out to

a 3-0 lead after the first period, but two late Delta power play goals made it a close finihsh. Bradley Crompton, Boston Colley, Dale Howell and Danny Wilson each had a goal and an assist in the game, and Grant Rostvig also scored. Brandon Inwood notched two assists. Tyler Read stopped 30 of 34 shots for the win in net, and improve his record to 5-3 on the season. With the win, the Flames move into second place in the Harold Brittain Conference standings, with a record of 7-9.

Smith still winning at SFU Colleen Flanagan/ THE NEWS

Storm host Phoenix Kara Holbrook, left, of the West Coast Auto Group FC U-15 Storm, fends off a challenger during a game against the Marpole Phoenix, at the Pitt Meadows turf field on Sunday.

Former Maple Ridge Ramblers high school wrestling national champion Payten Smith appears ready to dominate at the college ranks, with the SFU Clan. Saturday at the Clan International, which opened the new wrestling season, Smith won all three of her matches by pin to capture the women’s 85-kilogram weight class. It took Smith less than seven minutes to win all three of her matches. Smith won four national titles in high school.

GET GEARED UP! One of the major fundraisers that keeps volunteer safety personnel operating on local mountains occurs Nov. 15-16 in Abbotsford. The annual Canadian Ski Patrol's (CSP) Winter Extreme Ski Show and Swap sees about 10,000 pieces of ski and snowboard equipment valued at approximately $1 million on consignment at the Ag-Rec building, selling for significant savings over new, said Denis Dion, swap manager. "You can completely outfit yourself or your family members for under $100," he said. Everything from boots to boards will be on hand, and each piece is safety inspected. Any helmets for sale are brand new. "We have extreme selection and extreme pricing." Nearly 95 per cent of the equipment is still new – just last year's models. "We don't know exactly how much we'll be getting until the

Friday November,

7–9 pm - Public

vendors show up," he added. The swap has been running since the late 1970s, said Dion, who took on the event chair position in 1994. From its humble beginnings in a church basement, the swap grew and needed more space. They went from the basement to an auditorium, then Tradex and now the Ag-Rec building. Between the Abbotsford event, and a similar one in Vancouver, these fundraisers generate enough money – about $100,000 – to keep CSP volunteers on the slopes in locales such as Hemlock, Manning and Seymour, where they are often the first responders to anyone who has a mishap while skiing inbounds. Any off-the-trail emergencies are handled by search and rescue teams. CSP funds its own first aid and avalanche training, and members pay to be a part of

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

LEGINUS, David Gene On October 23rd, 2014 our son, brother, father, husband, cousin and “Pompa”, David Gene Leginus was taken from us suddenly at 55 years of age. Pre-deceased by his father Steve John Leginus, he leaves to mourn his newlywed wife Hong, his mother Annile, brother

Johnny, sister Leina, daughter Shannon and grandchildren Aiden and Avery as well as other family and friends. David had many accomplishments in his life, but he enjoyed best fishing on the ocean with friends and family. An avid fisherman, he spent much of his spare time working on his project boat and learning new ways to catch ‘The big one’! A hard working and dedicated man, he held his work to the ‘Leginus’ standard and never settled for anything less than perfect. This attention to detail and perseverance showed strongly in his craft as a Ticketed Painter, and opened his life up to many opportunities. As a grandfather, he was fueled by his grandchildren rushing into his arms every time they came to visit; with excited voices and bright faces. He spent the last while of his life happily exploring

China with his new wife Hong and stepson. A memorial service will be held on November 15th at 12pm at the Garden Hill Funeral Home, 11765 224th St., Maple Ridge.

For Pitt Meadows mayor

• Name: John Becker • Residence: 15227 Sheridan Drive, Pitt Meadows. • Occupation/education: lawyer; Simon Fraser University (MBA); mediation re-certification Law Society of British Columbia; University of British Columbia Sauder School of Business, facilitator. • Volunteer work: Pitt Meadows Community Foundation; Friends in Need Food Bank; Chamber of Commerce serving Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows; Becker president of B.C. Liberal riding association, Maple Ridge-Mission; Maple Ridge Treatment Centre; Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Parks and Recreation Commission.

• Name: Michael Hayes. • Residence: 19463 Davison Rd., Pitt Meadows. • Occupation/education: retired/SFU computer science. • Volunteer work: president, Pitt Meadows Community Foundation; chair, citizen of the year selection committee; co-chair, centennial steering committee; parks and leisure festivals committee; chair, “A Pitt Meadows Christmas”; Children’s Wish; Hayes National Youth Service Programs; and International Children’s Festival; Canada Day; Pitt Meadows Day.

Question: Please provide an example of what you have done that qualifies you for council. Answer: I served on council for nine years through 2011, which included committees at Metro Vancouver. My professional work in the areas of land use planning and development, local government legislation, governance and mediation has provided me with useful experience and skills. I am experienced with city budgeting. Q: Who is funding your campaign? A: I expect to be largely self-funded. Q: What makes you stand out from other candidates? A: I am the only mayoral candidate who has ever held office. In addition, I bring community volunteerism and personal and professional skills to the position of mayor. Q: How do you see your city developing in the next 10 years? A: The city will be financially stable with a fair taxation policy. We need to plan to meet our strategic objectives with funding sources identified. More of our residents would be working at good paying jobs. Improved public transit would serve the needs of our commuting residents. Q: What will be your top priority if elected to Pitt Meadows council? A: Property taxes and spending need to be brought under control. I suggest freezing 2015 city spending at 2014 levels. In 2015, council would seek public consultation on a fair taxation policy as part of the five-year budgeting process. Waste and frivolous spending need to be eliminated.

Question: Please provide an example of what you have done that qualifies you for council. Answer: I have been proud to call Pitt Meadows home for the past 37 years. I am a volunteer and community leader with a business background in construction and intelligence software programing. I will be a dedicated full-time mayor with knowledge and leadership skills, combined with vision and a pulse on the community. Q: Who is funding your campaign? A: As of the date of this submission, I am personally funding my campaign. Q: What makes you stand out from other candidates? A: I strongly believe in the power of community and have a tremendous amount of pride for our city and the people who live here. Having established good relationships with our MLA, MP, staff and community partners, I am confident I can deliver on what needs to be done to address the top issues that face our community.

Question: Please provide an example of what you Paller have done that qualifies you for council? Answer: The majority of my career in the film industry as a special effects co-ordinator for many low budget films to multi-million dollar productions meant co-ordinating with all the other departments on the film set to keep the production on time and on budget. Q: Who is funding your campaign? A: Self-funded. Q: What makes you stand out from other candidates? A: My ability to work with many departments to solve critical issues and come up with a plan that will work to suit the majority and stay within the allotted budget. I would run the city much like I ran my own business for over 35 years. Q: How do you see your city developing in the next 10 years? A: Ideally, out of debt, with spending in check and a surplus on hand. Q: What will be your top priority if elected to Pitt Meadows council? A: To get all of council and city staff working together on the same page; to put the taxpayers’ money to better use.

Q: How do you see the City of Pitt Meadows developing in the next 10 years? A: Pitt Meadows is one of the fastest growing and most desirable locations in the Lower Mainland for business and residential investment. I see us leveraging our options to create smart growth and development that contributes to our local economy, provides jobs and services close to home, for a sustainable and prosperous future. 5. What will be your top priority if elected to Pitt Meadows council? Taxation – increase our commercial and industrial tax base – transportation (an alternate route over the CP Rail line), and smart growth and development.

A: My sound judgement, dedication to Pitt Meadows and the council decision-making process is certainly one of my strengths. My background in both business and labour is also an asset. My ability to listen and problem solve is an attribute, as well. This makes me stand out as a good candidate. Q: How do you see your city developing in the next 10 years? A: Over the next 10 years, the city needs to resolve its transportation issues, especially for commuters. An overpass at Allen Way and the Lougheed Highway would be an asset. This overpass would alleviate traffic problems north and south and at the same time help traffic congestion on Lougheed, both east and west. Q: What will be your top priority if elected to Pitt Meadows council? A: My top priority, if elected, would be getting a handle on the taxes in Pitt Meadows. The proposed 24 per cent increase in taxes over the next five years is not fair nor is it affordable for the citizens of Pitt Meadows.

Q: Who is funding your campaign? A: Primarily self-funded (save $50, at this stage). Q: What makes you stand out from other candidates? A: I am personable and approachable, and will bring a fresh perspective to council. I have a wealth of experience, often dealing with complex, financial or sensitive issues. I am committed to a positive and professional working environment with council, staff and citizens we serve.

Q: Who is funding your campaign? A: As in my previous six elections, I will fund my entire campaign. Q: What makes you stand out from other candidates? A: I listen to our citizens. I also have an unique mix of 17 years political experience, a strong educational background in community/citizen development and the business expertise to make ‘common sense’ decisions at the council table.

Q: How do you see your city developing in the next 10 years? A: I see enhanced partnerships with key stakeholders, ‘wise’ growth that includes business development, diversified taxes and tourism, while maintaining our small. unique sense of community that makes Pitt Meadows so desirable.

Q: How do you see your city developing in the next 10 years? A: Pitt Meadows will see the completion and occupation of our industrial/business parks. Our focus on employment generation will bring “family sustaining” jobs. Our transportation gridlock at Harris Road and Lougheed Highway will resolve with improvements to the intersection in partnership with senior levels of government.

Q: What will be your top priority if elected to Pitt Meadows council? A: I am committed to fostering a positive and professional council environment, working towards a traffic congestion resolution, wise growth and tax diversification that makes sense.

Q: What will be your top priority if elected to Pitt Meadows council? A: To ensure tax dollars are utilized effectively to get the biggest bang for the buck. Effective and respectful relationships must be established with citizens, staff and senior levels of government to ensure the best results for our city.

Andrew Thompson is a new choice for Pitt Meadows Council this year. A long-time resident, he and his wife Sheryl have called Pitt Meadows their home for the last 17 ½ years. With a background of more than 20 years in the Retail Management and Sales field, Andrew currently works as a Foster Parent having fostered for the last 22 years. Responsibility is the key to Andrew’s platform with a focus on Fiscal Responsibility, Responsible Growth and Responsible Leadership. Andrew believes that council should be mindful of our tax dollars and should work hard to keep tax increases at a minimum while still ensuring that services are maintained at current levels. Infrastructure and capital assets purchases also still need to be planned for. Andrew also believes that Pitt Meadows can take advantage of its unique location to encourage new Industry and Business Development to provide employment and to help balance the tax base. Too much of the tax burden is being carried by the residential taxpayer is his belief and more can be done to provide relief. Having a limited amount of space to expand, Andrew feels that residential development must be done responsibly to avoid urban sprawl and the overuse of our infrastructure. If done correctly, infill can provide new housing and still not overburden our existing services. Having taken on many Leadership roles in his professional and personal life, Andrew feels that he will be able to work with any and all other Council members to help foster a respectful and cohesive Council. Transportation is very important to Andrew and he would like to see better bus service, especially to the under serviced areas of our community. A Rapid Bus line on Lougheed Highway is overdue and Andrew would like to see this up and running sooner rather than later. Traffic issues are another important issue for Andrew and he will work hard with all levels of government to try and solve our unique traffic issues that we experience here in Pitt Meadows. Andrew’s vision is to see a Medical Hub to provide a one stop shop of medical services to our community, a Post-Secondary Institution in Pitt Meadows, Complex and Assisted Living resources for Pitt Meadows residents, promotion of the Pitt Meadows Airport as a regional asset and increased Economic Development to attract both entry level and family sustaining jobs for our citizens. Andrew is an active volunteer who cares about his community. He is a Scout Leader, a Director with the Pitt Meadows Community Foundation, an Active Transportation Advisory Committee member, a Food Bank volunteer, a Blue Heron Toastmaster Club member and a Pitt Meadows Centennial Sponsor amongst other things. As an Independent Choice and not part of any Team or Slate, Andrew will be able to vote his conscience, stand up for what he feels is right and represent the voices of the people of Pitt Meadows. Vote for Andrew Thompson, an Independent and Responsible Choice.

Back in 2011 In the 2011 municipal election, Deb Walters became the first female mayor in the history of Pitt Meadows, edging fellow councillor John Becker by more than 800 votes.
