History
Albion landmark reduced to rubble The 1923 building was demolished on Saturday.

It was the venue for a lot of noisy parties, wedding receptions, and cultural and community activities since 1923. But it was also home to hundreds of bats for years, and its condition would have cost a pretty penny to bring up to municipal standards. So on Saturday, the decision to pull down the Albion Hall came to fruition. An excavator was at the hall at 8 a.m. and by noon, the hall had been reduced to a pile of rubble. Residents from across the street watched and took pictures as the historic building came down. Maple Ridge Councillor Craig Speirs opposed the demolition saying it will be five to 20 years before there is another space in Albion for community use. “Why would you throw away an asset because it might cost a few dollars?” he said. The hall, he said, would have been “something on the ground that works at minimal cost.” Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said the Albion Hall

use of money,” Daykin said. “It’s one of those difficult decisions.” The District plans to put the value of the land, about $300,000 in a trust fund for a
future community amenity in the Albion area. Daykin said he’d like the money from the hall to be used for a new community building “hopefully sooner than later.”

Patrons want Memorial Peace Park left alone Ridge residents spoke overwhelmingly in support of downtown lot empty. by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com
Maple Ridge residents want to keep a green space in the downtown area. A recent open house and online survey showed that 80 per cent of residents want a three-quarter-acre lot beside Memorial Peace Park to be integrated into the park with some small improvements. But at Monday’s council workshop, a
decision to develop a concept plan based on the community feedback was deferred until questions could be answered about the cost of servicing any new amenities, and how the lot would fit into the parks master plan. “There’s some details and questions council wants answered before we commit to a multi-use family area,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin. Council, however did ask staff to prepare a detailed design on the first phase of the project, which would include infrastructure improvements, for example, electrical and drainage. The District of Maple Ridge came

Antiques vacated in favour of food Job action vote
The BCTF announced teachers will vote between June 24 and 28 on whether to take job action in the fall, if progress isn’t seen in collective bargaining. Job action would begin with refusing to do administrative work and attending meetings. The teachers’ union has been negotiating since the beginning of March as its contract ends at the end of the school year. The union said that progress has been “limited.” • More online at www.mrtimes.com, click on “News”
Local kills wolf-dog Maple Ridge resident Allan Starkey, or ‘Trapper Al’ landed on an island off the coast of Vancouver last week with one mission and one mission only – kill the 42-kg wolf-dog that had been stalking pets and livestock on Bowen Island. Last Thursday, the Beast of Bowen Island as it was known, that scourge of creatures great and small, was shot dead by Starkey with a single shot to the head. He caught the animal at dawn, just hours after setting up an elaborate trap with sheep and deer meat near the site of one of the animal’s previous kills. • More online at www.mrtimes.com, click on “News”
Bear kills goat A bear killed a goat in east Maple Ridge late Sunday night, and Mitch McCrea is worried it will come back for his other animals. Although the residents tried to scare the bear away by screaming at it, “this bear didn’t get fazed,” McCrea said. The bear also tried to get into the garbage and ripped off the door to their chicken coop. In their 16 years on the property on 287th Avenue, the McCreas have only twice seen bears. • More online at www.mrtimes.com, click on “News”
It won’t be easy for Ruth Paré to bid adiéu to the business she has run for close to nine years. by Troy Landreville
tlandreville@mrtimes.com
Ruth Paré will say goodbye to the Haney Place Mall today. Her business, Haney Market Place and Antique Mall, will soon be occupied by Thrifty’s Foods. The antique mall’s doors close for good today (Tuesday) at 5:30 p.m. Paré rents 24 booths in the antique mall and has a full-time and part-time employee. She had been paying rent month to month for the last eight years, and said she’s been hearing rumours about Thrifty’s coming to the mall for many of those years. Now, with the realization her store is closing for good, she is feeling nostalgic about her consignment store that deals mostly in nostalgia. And it is going to be hard to say goodbye. “This has been my life for the past nine years,” Paré said. “I started out with nothing and went on the seat of my pants to get here. The community has been outstanding. People have come to me almost in tears. For some of them, this store was a

Paré, who ran the spacious 28,000-square-foot store along
Items like board games and puzzles are going to treatment centres in the community. Overall, Paré said, running the antique mall was an enriching experience. “It really was an adventure, but it was a lot of fun,” she said. “It was almost like Christmas because every day, you didn’t know what was coming. There was a surprise every time you opened a box.”

Traffic rushed past the strip of Lougheed Highway that is being proposed for development.
The development of a 50.5hectare area, known as the North Lougheed Corridor, is a hot-button topic for Pitt Meadows council, and they want to make sure they get it right. At a workshop held at council in committee last Tuesday night, options were discussed to determine if the development could pay for a road north of the area.
“Would a concept like that generate enough funds to pay for a road or overpass for example?” asked Tina Atva, senior planner for AECOM Canada. An option that was not considered ideal, as it contained no agricultural land use, was presented as a template – as if that option couldn’t pay for a road – others with less development and commercial area definitely couldn’t. Called ‘Concept C’, this was the least-favourable option at an open house held on April 18, and ‘Concept A’ was the favourite, as it had a large portion designated for agricultural use.

A major U.S. retailer plans to spend $10 million on local renos.
Haney Place Mall has been chosen as one of 15 Target store locations in the Lower Mainland. Last week, Target unveiled the 15 Canadian locations where they will be opening stores when they take over from Zellers in 2013. “I think Target is a first-class retailer that appeals to a broad mix of consumers,” Chris Sherry told the TIMES. He’s a principal with Narland Properties, owners of the local shopping cetnre. Target will make Haney Place Mall more of a destination, Sherry said. Target plans to spend about $10 million on interior and exterior renovations, Sherry added. The lease Narland has negotiated with Target is for 20 years, with additional options. With Thrifty’s coming as an anchor on the east end of the mall and Target at the west end, it will soon be a different looking shopping mall, Sherry said. Target announced in January that it negotiated a deal to take over the leases of up to 220 Zellers locations, and on Thursday, Target Canada president Tony Fisher said the initial roster will “ensure Target will be represented throughout the country.” The initial selection of leases will

Fisher said the discount retailer analyzed trade areas based on demographics, competition, and market potential to identify areas that “would be well served by a Target store.” Other locations in Metro Vancouver include Oakridge
Centre in Vancouver, Metropolis at Metrotown in Burnaby, Coquitlam Centre, Scottsdale Mall in Delta, and Willowbrook in Langley. Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Victoria’s Tillicum Mall, Nanaimo and Campbell River will also be getting stores. In total, 105 locations will open in Canada.

Dam decision in October
Rich Coleman supports upgrades to facility.
A decision whether to upgrade the Ruskin Dam is expected in October. It will be up to the BC Utilities Commission whether the dam will see an investment of more than $800 million to upgrade the facility, but Rich Coleman, Minister of Energy and Mining, has thrown his support behind the project. The $800 million will provide upgrades to the facility which is in “poor

condition,” says BC Hydro. Coleman pointed out the dam cannot continue to operate based on details given by BC Hydro. “Cost savings and benefits, safety concerns and environmental protection are primary considerations,” Coleman said. “After considering all of the options, BC Hydro concluded that refurbishment is the lowest cost option for the best possible outcome. I am comfortable with the business case put forward by BC Hydro to refurbish the Ruskin Dam.”

Our View
Improvement ill-defined When Prime Minister Stephen Harper promised Senate reform, we thought he intended to try and improve it for Canada, not improve upon its use as a Conservative payoff/reward system. Harper’s move to appoint three defeated Tory candidates to the Senate drew howls from opponents – as it should. It’s one thing to find retired politicians – those who have gone on to do some good works in their retirement – it’s quite another to take newly defeated candidates and put them in the Senate. Harper had promised to reform the Senate by making it an elected body, and if he was serious about that promise he would have at least waited until all the election signs had been pulled out of lawns before rewarding his team’s losers. And then there’s the case of defeated Conservative MP Josee Verner, who receives severance of roughly $116,000, and whom Harper immediately appointed to the $132,300 per year Senate posting. Talk about double-dipping. Some pundits have suggested that Harper appointed the defeated Tories to incite the call for reform again, and to get the provinces involved. If he did, there’s certainly easier and less destructive ways of moving reform forward. We understand that previous parties have used the Senate to reward members, and as a guaranteed backup for government policies – but few seem to have used it so quickly or so nakedly for their own interest as Stephen Harper’s Conservatives. The Senate offers lawmakers and the parliamentary system an opportunity to be a force for a judicious, sober second look at legislation – but it is becoming (perhaps already is) just a parking place for patronage, and consequently, it will continue to be a target for derision and jokes. If the government is serious about reform, it needs to ask the provinces to get Senators on the ballot for the next election. And it needs to lead the movement, not exploit the system for its own benefit.

Leashing not bad for dogs Dear Editor,
Nothing has uplifted me more than to open your paper and read yet another moving story about how our community reaches out to people in need. I am sure the public loves to hear about the people who have been given generosity when in great need [Story sparks flood of giving, May 19, TIMES]. I also appreciated your heartwarming stories about animals in need. The stories about Trooper and Elmo [Life minus a leg, May 17, TIMES] have given me great happiness just when I needed to hear something beautiful in a ‘downtime’ of my life. I would like to say thank you to all of the people who reached out to play a part in helping the defenseless animals and to our own brothers, sisters, and families of our community. There was a response in the May 17 paper [Leashing dogs in their yard is too much, Letters, TIMES] from a reader reacting to the story of big dogs that went after the little dog. My question with your suggestion of “just pick your dog up” is “what then?” Would that have actually stopped the other dogs from jumping up anyway? What about the safety of the owner of the little dog while she/he is holding the dog? For the safety and freedom of all, why not have a six-foot chain-link fence built. Costly? Yes. Safe? Yes. Happy dogs? Yes.
TIMES’ files
Elmo’s amputation was made possible thanks to TIMES’ readers who came to the aid with donations to the Jackson Fund. This goes for the pit bull running loose in the neighbourhood, too. How can you allow your dog to run free when it has caused the amputation of another dog’s leg? What about the children? A fence may be costly, but it would be less costly than a future and possibly serious encounter with perhaps a child, adult, or another animal. Please, do the right thing for everyone including your own dog, which could possibly pay the penalty if something else serious were to happen. Gladys Martin, Maple Ridge
Marijuana
Dear Editor,
Now that Harper has finally won his majority government, brace yourselves for the religious right-wing agenda to blanket our land. You can already see this with Marc Dalton, buoyed up by the Harper election victory, wanting to go after the medicinal pot dispensary. Yeah, the same guy who got up at the teachers convention railing on about homosexuals and their godless ways. I live in this area [One year clean for pot dispensary, May 19, TIMES] and all the fear-mongering crap has simply not materialized.
).*,*-+-
Fear-mongers were over zealous
We’ve experienced no problems with it, and they are in fact helping a lot of people with really serious illnesses. It reminds me of the witch hunts that Arthur Miller describes in his play, The Crucible, by the same religious right of their day. This stinks of religious bigotry and hypocrisy like back then. These people are blatant hypocrites and should stop trying to cram their selfrighteousness down others throats. Just because Marc wants to believe in a fairy tale doesn’t give him the right to use his political position to force it on others in our society.

Tax bill arrives with $400 hike Dear Editor,
Two certainties, even in Maple Ridge. With the tax bill in for the coming year, no surprise, another $400 per year (on top of the $400 last year), that’s 24 per cent in the last two years. Did we see a corresponding increase on our actual home values? Not according to the market. As if to add insult to injury, at least in our little enclave of Falcon Ridge – off Cottonwood – the District appears to be on another revenue blitz this year. They’re knocking on everyone’s door looking for secondary suites. Under the thin and unsubstantiated guise of “we received a complaint that there are illegal suites.” A complaint from who? Half the homes have suites, and the District is going to every home looking. Some of these people require the suite to afford a house in this market and overtaxed reality. What value have we received locally?
A Band-Aid fix to a disintegrating section of Cottonwood, between 114A and 116 Avenues, that fronts the District dump site. Still no sidewalks or lights on essentially the only route for anyone of this neighbourhood to walk or bike into town. I merely reflect the frustration held by at least 80 tax-paying, law-abiding families, which are just fed up with the money-grubbing municipalities trying to pry their way into our homes and wallets.

Wages up, prices up Dear Editor,
I work graveyard shifts, and usually stop off for a Sausage McMuffin before waiting for the bus. On Friday, April 29, the cost was $3, including taxes. By Monday, the price was $3.11, a 3.7-percent increase. So minimum wage goes up and prices go up. Can you say greedy corporations?

Fire rescue
Past firefighters invited to tour new firehall Now that Maple Ridge’s main firehall is completely renovated, former members are being invited for a tour. by Amy Judd
ajudd@mrtimes.com
The Maple Ridge fire department has grown a lot through the years. Starting in 1946, the department was completely volunteer, eventually moving to a paid-on-call system in 2001, to a composite career and paid-on-call department in 2005. As the department grew, firehall No. 1 did not, and although it was adequate in the early 1970s when it first opened its doors, it needed updating and expanding these past few years, said administrative
assistant Connie Hol. Now the renovations are complete, and all past members of Maple Ridge firehall No. 1, 2, and 3 are welcome to attend an open house and a tour on Saturday, June 11. Even though an open house was held last June, it was during the week and many past members could not attend, Hol explained. Now they’ve devised another chance for people to drop by, say hello, and reconnect with old friends. For anyone who was a Maple Ridge firefighter, or who knows of someone who was a member, they can contact Hol at 604-476-3052 or at chol@mapleridge.ca to arrange attendance. The open house will be held on Saturday, June 11, from 4 to 8 p.m. at fire hall #1, located at 22708 Brown Ave.
The Maple Ridge fire department fought a vicious fire at a townhouse on the Haney Bypass in 2008.
Large U.S. retailers eye proposed new Pitt Meadows corridor …continued from page A3
The area is east of Harris Road, west of Meadow Gardens, and north of Lougheed Highway.
David Bell of Colliers International, gave a market assessment of the project, saying there is currently a market demand for a range of uses in an area this size, uses such as mixed employment, meaning commercial/business park use, and retail-commercial, meaning restaurants and lifestyle retail with a retail anchor. “There is interest from large U.S. retailers that shouldn’t

be discounted,” said Bell. Concept C designates about 30 hectares for mixed employment, 17 for retail-commercial, and about four for either. Colliers assumed a fiveyear build out for retail, and a 10-year build out for mixed employment and industrial. “It’s so big and so many sensitivities are related to the present value of that cash flow,” said Justen Harcourt of Colliers. “I think we’ve shown that
option C can work,” he added. Councillors agreed they don’t want to see a development like Meadowtown Centre, but no decisions have been made on the type of development designated for the North Lougheed Corridor. Both Harcourt and Bell agreed that it would be difficult to build a mall without the draw of a big-box chain. “The little guys won’t sign unless you get the big anchors,” said Bell. “The
trend these days is to merge major anchors… with more valuable components.” “Option C is not a slamdunk,” said Harcourt, although he did mention that there could be a potential loss of about $10 million between no designated agricultural land and some agricultural land. A report for planning staff is due in mid-June, and will be forwarded to council in committee a few weeks later.

Children focal point for Citizen of the Year Youth “Grandma Shirley” helps kids at Highland Park Elementary learn to read.

hirley Murphy has only been in Pitt Meadows for seven years but in that time she has become known as someone who gives back to the community – for that she’s being recognized as citizen of the year by the Pitt Meadows Community Foundation this Saturday. Murphy moved to Pitt Meadows originally to care for a set of triplets. She had been commuting from Delta to Pitt Meadows and decided to move closer to the job she started after retiring as a baker. Shirley Murphy has been surrounded by children most of her life.

he local First Nations community is joining Pitt Meadows’ big party this Saturday, June 4. Using a pickup truck, members of Katzie First Nation will tow a 40-foot-long canoe, decorated with a wolf head at its bow, along the Pitt Meadows Day parade route. “We have a bunch of volunteers putting the float together,” explained Robin Green, a member of the Katzie First Nation band council. The parade, which runs from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. starts at Blakely and Hammond Roads, travels west on Hammond Road and north on Harris Road before ending at Heritage Hall. “We’re going to have children and parents participating,” Green explained. “We have a drum group that will be on the back of

Normally, there are three our four girls who normally
dance, following the canoe, but normally it’s just walking,” Green said. “We have some dedicated parents who are willing to put the costumes together, creating the headbands the kids will be wearing. Last year, a lot of the parents volunteered to make the costumes, too, so there has been a lot of participation.”

Katzie First Nation has been involved in the parade for a couple of years now, and Green noted the group won second place among community floats. “We live in Pitt Meadows and it’s nice to express our culture to the greater community,” Green said. She said some members of the
Katzie community have a strong link to their history and culture. “There are some families that are closely connected to their culture, and some aren’t,” she said. “I know that there are a few still learning the First Nations language, and there are a couple of drum groups down here that sing in ceremonies.” Green, who was part of the Katzie entry at last year’s parade, said her group has been well received in the past. “There were people waving at us, so there was positive energy,” she said.

S
o much about the Pitt Meadows Day festivities is rooted in tradition, from the annual parade and fireworks, to the firefighter barbecue and family dance. But one of the festivity’s traditions is credited year after year with getting the party started. On the first Saturday of every June for well over six decades – at least – the Pitt Meadows Lions’ Club has been hosting a pancake breakfast. It started, years ago now, from the Lions Den, the Lions Club facilities on the west side of Harris Road – across from Heritage Hall. But as the numbers of mouths to be filled increased, the need for a bigger facility became evident, and the event was relocated across the street at the old rec hall. They now feed between 350 and 400 people each year. It’s a massive undertaking, but one of the club’s most fun ventures, said Lions’ president Tom Hardy. “Pitt Meadows Day is the day the Lions Club shows Pitt Meadows we’re alive and well,” he said. When Hardy first joined the Pitt Meadows Lions’ Club in 1971, he was quickly drawn into the Pitt Meadows Day festivities – something he’d only enjoyed as a spectator until that point. “I’m the supervisor, now,” he said, sharing the organizing duties with Ed Essar. Work for the pair begins a month ahead
Lions’ Club member Ted Gagel mixed pancake batter during a past Pitt Meadows Day breakfast. with ordering supplies, Hardy said, noting people would be surprised at how much goes into the breakfasts – literally. They order 40 pounds of sausage (the average weight of five year old) that provides two sausages per person, as well as 30 kgs of pre-mixed pancake batter (three flapjacks each), plus 24 bottles of syrup, 600 containers of butter, 10 gallons of orange juice, and three big urns of coffee. This year’s breakfast will be served from 7 to 10 a.m. on the lower floor of the Pitt Meadows Heritage Hall. The cost is $4 for adults, and $2 for children 12 years and younger, with all proceeds going to Lions’ charities of choice. Last year’s event raised about $800.

bration. This year, however, I found myself asking a curious question: what exactly have I been celebrating for all these years? I’ll tell a short story. I grew up down near the end of Mitchell Road. Our house was built in a cozy little suburban development near the airport. It had all the amenities a kid could ask for: climbable trees, a sunny playground, a fruitful frog-pond, a network of bike trails, and a creepy old barn. Adventure was always on my doorstep. As I grew older, the horizon of my world naturally broadened. My first bicycle allowed me to explore parts of Pitt Meadows that I had never known existed. The seemingly endless network of sidewalks, overpasses, and pedestrian thoroughfares appealed to my sense of adventure. My entire world spanned from the Heritage Hall to the banks of the Fraser River, and I had an intimate
familiarity with every cul-de-sac, smell of the air, the cracks in the tree trunk, and corner store that lay sidewalk. within its borders.

on’t call her the May Day Queen – that only lasted for one year back in the 1930s – but a new Miss Pitt Meadows will assume the title this Saturday at the Pitt Meadows Day celebrations. Each year a Grade 6 girl is chosen for the role of Miss Pitt Meadows, and will fulfill certain duties such as laying a wreath on Remembrance Day. She must then pass the title to the next girl chosen, said organizer Louise Severinski. Miss Pitt Meadows will also have three other attendants, including a record bearer and a medallion bearer, as well as two flag bearers who are Grade 4 boys, and 10 flower girls in Grades 1 to 3. “She will also be piped on stage and off by a piper,” said Severinski, who explained the historic name change.

Miss Pitt Meadows 2010 will now have to pass the title to the 2011 girl. “[The name changed] because back in the day it wasn’t a good month for the farmers,” she said. The one and only May Day Queen from Pitt Meadows Day sadly passed away earlier this year, noted Severinski,
who said the event had a lot more emphasis placed on it in the past. The crowning of Miss Pitt Meadows and the opening ceremonies will take place at 1 p.m. at Harris Road Park this Saturday, June 4.

Despite the busy schedule and extensive time commitment, he said the kids keep him coming back every year.

Five members of the Ridge Meadows Royals Midget AAA baseball team are moving on next year, and coach Nor Ljunggren said he is going to miss them and their leadership. “They’re getting to be adults,” he said. “When you get them in Grade 10, they’re still pretty young.” Cole Ross, Brandon Sound, Lucas Tillotson, Dylan MacDermid, and Nathan Kitamura are all in Grade 12, and playing their last season with the Royals. Ljunggren said it will be a different team without their presence next year. “They’ve all become five of our key guys,” he said, adding that when they started three years ago, they were more like role-players than leaders. “Now they’ve just become complete players who help the team in a number of ways,” he said. Ljunggren has been coaching the Royals for five years, and was an assistant coach for three years before. He even played on the team when he
ies, and had to overcome them in order to focus on the season and tournaments ahead. But Ljunggren said they are all moving on now. The team starts training in November, with some indoor work, and train twice a week. From the beginning of the season, usually April, the time commitment is four to five days a week, and involves a lot of travel. Ljunggren said it can be challenging to juggle baseball and his job as a corrections officer, but he said luckily his employer is very accommodating. The Royals have an impressive past, and have a lot to live up to. In 2009 the team won the provincials, and went on to win the Western Canada Championships. “That’s as far as we can go as a club team,” said Ljunggren. Last year the team lost in the provincial finals, so this year they are aiming for a repeat of 2009. “This will be the third year in a row where we realistically have a good shot at it,” Ljunggren said of winning provincials again. “We got seven guys back from last year, and five were on the team from 2009,” he added. He said the team’s “pitching depth” is something that he is proud of this year, and will take them a long way.

Coach happy with the team’s progress and success so far … continued from page A17
“Just depth in general,” he said. “It’s a real team effort.” With four other coaches to assist him, Ljunggren is happy with the season so far. There are still a few months before the end of the season, and Ljunggren said he just takes each year as it comes, but he is aways encouraging players to come back and coach. “I find it works well,” he said.
“I think every year I’ve been coaching we’ve had at least one guy come back.” For now Ljunggren has the help of Dan Rennie, Doug MacDermid, Spencer Stewart, Patrick Bigelow, and this level of help aids in team organization. “In baseball, there’s a lot of small things that if you miss them they kind of compound,” Ljunggren said. Even though Ridge Meadows
does not have a premiere team, Ljunggren said there is ample opportunity for players to move up to that league with teams such as the Langley Blaze. The AAA team seems to be on the right track however, and
they had an enjoyable experience,” he added. “I just tell the kids, every day you should be getting better,” meaning they should work on a skill each day. “You have a four-month season,” said Ljunggren. “If you do something every day, you’ll be really good by the end.” To follow the Royals’ progress, check out ballcharts.com/ridgemeadowsroyals.

regardless of where they place this year, Ljunggren just hopes every player had fun and develops his skills. “I hope every kid improves so every kid is better when he leaves than when he came. “And every kid leaves saying

SUDOKU
Fun By The Numbers
Like puzzles? Then you'll love Sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your Sudoku savvy to the test!
Vancouver East Side
Real Estate
Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
