Council cool on garbage collection Rejects study to look at switch to municipal service by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter

Private garbage collection in Maple Ridge is likely here to stay after district councillors shot holes in a proposal to look at switching to a municipal service. Maple Ridge is the only municipality in the Lower Mainland that doesn’t offer municipal garbage collection. Couns. Judy Dueck, Cheryl Ashlie, Mike Morden, and Al Hogarth expressed opposition at Monday’s council workshop meeting to a request to spend $85,000 on consultant services to review the District of Maple Ridge’s solid waste options, including municipal curbside garbage collection. Hogarth said a municipal garbage service would not be in the best interest of taxpayers. See Garbage, p3

In addition to the signatures on the petition, 97 letters were delivered to city hall. “They’ve heard some complaints now and they are going to hear a lot more,” said Murray. “People are fed up, and when I get fed up, I try to do something.” Murray started the petition last week after hearing that councillors were getting ready to plan next year’s budget with a forecast of an annual general tax increase of four

SPCA wants money to take on feral cats feral cats would likely reduce coyote numbers. “If this program is successful, there will be less cats roaming the streets ... and less food for coyotes,” he said. “You’d expect to see small coyote litters [as a result].” Coun. Corisa Bell expressed concern about the length of the program. “I would be more comfortable with a one-year program and collecting data,” she said.

Program would reduce number of them, coyotes too by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter The B.C. SPCA is hoping the District of Maple Ridge will chip in $30,000 annually for a program to spay and neuter feral cats, as well as offer discounted procedures for low-income cat owners. B.C. SPCA CEO Craig Daniell pitched the idea to Maple Ridge Council at its workshop meeting Monday, noting that similar programs rolled out in the U.S. saw more than $3 in savings for every $1 invested, due to reduced animal shelter and control costs. Daniell said while the SPCA’s efforts to encourage dog owners to sterilize their pets have been successful over the past 25 years, more attention needs to be paid to cat owners, which now make up the majority of pet owners. “Over the years, dog owners have become very responsible,” Daniell said. “That same process hasn’t happened with cat owners yet.” The SPCA’s three-year program would allow for the sterilization of around 300 cats per year in Maple Ridge, as well as provide them with identification through a tattoo or microchip. While the program would likely fully cover the cost of sterilizing feral cats, low-income cat owners would be offered a reduced rate to get their cats fixed. The details of the program still have to worked out, Daniell stressed, but the SPCA would be looking to partner with a local veterinarian, as well as other

The SPCA program to spay and neuter feral cats would cost Maple Ridge $30,000 a year for three years. local organizations like Katie’s Place Animal Shelter. The Maple Ridge SPCA currently receives close to 400 stray cats every year, and sterilizes those cats that haven’t already been so. While nearly 80 per cent of dogs the local SPCA branch sees are reunited with their owners, that number is only 11.5 per cent of cats. Giving cats an ID tattoo or microchip would help get more cats back to their owners. As for feral cats, they would be sterilized and released back into the wild, allowing the feral colo-

ny to decline over time. “If we just removed them, they’d be replaced by other feral cats,” said Daniell. “But this way the population declines gradually. The average life span of a feral cat is pretty short.” A 2010 study published by the University of Nebraska found that cats were responsible for killing at least 480 million birds in the U.S. every year. The same study, titled Feral Cats and their Management, noted that feral house cats are directly responsible for the extinction of at least 33 bird species.

“The threat to wildlife is the biggest issue,” said Daniell. “For some members of the community, they are considered a nuisance animal.” However, culling feral cat populations is not something the SPCA is considering. “I don’t think that’s what the majority of the community would like to see happen,” said Daniell. The program could also help reduce the number severed cat heads being left by coyotes. Daniell said feral cats are a major food source for urban coyotes, and that reducing the number of

‘One thing we hear, don’t increase our costs’ Garbage from front “The one thing we hear from taxpayers is, ‘don’t increase my costs ‘ ... so I can’t see us going to a municipal system,” he said. “I think the waste stream is being treated much better in Maple Ridge because there’s a cost factor involved, so people are more diligent with recycling and reducing waste.” While Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and Port Moody have municipal garbage collection, the remaining Lower Mainland municipalities contract out such services. Residents in Maple Ridge, however, are on their own, and must hire a private garbage collection ﬁrm to haul their trash away. Mayor Ernie Daykin stressed a switch to municipal garbage collection wouldn’t be free, and that costs would be added to

property taxes. Maple Ridge residents currently pay $68.16 annually for recycling services from the Ridge Meadows Recycling Society, and anywhere from $72 annually for monthly private garbage pick up, to $144 for weekly pickup. Similar municipal services offered in Richmond and Surrey cost taxpayers there $242 and $281 per year, respectively. Maple Ridge’s private model allows for more ﬂexibility and competition than the municipal model, and rewards residents who can reduce their amount of waste, said Dueck. “What we are doing right now works,” she said. “People have choice, and we’re well served by the recycling society. Our success in our efforts to recycle and compost are the envy of many communities.”

Ashlie added that it was poor timing to be considering a switch to a municipal model given pending changes to Metro Vancouver’s solid waste diversion goals. Metro Vancouver’s Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan calls for 70 per cent of trash to be diverted from landﬁlls by 2015, with a full ban on organic waste to achieve that. Currently, no curbside pickup is offered for organic waste in Maple Ridge. The Ministry of Environment is also planning a mandatory recycling program for packaging and printed paper. “It doesn’t seem logical to get into the mix at this point,” said Ashlie. “I get that we haven’t taken an intense look [at municipal garbage collection]... but right now is not the right time to be doing this.” Under the private model, the private col-

However, Paul Gill, Maple Ridge’s general manager of corporate and financial services, noted that it would like take a few years to start to see declines in feral cat populations. “For a program like this to be successful, it would have to be multi-year,” he said, adding that the District of Maple Ridge has already set aside money in the budget for the program. Coun. Judy Dueck said requiring a one-time mandatory registration of pet cats, as opposed to annual licensing, could help fund the sterilization program and increase the likelihood of reuniting cats with their owners. “I’m not a big fan of licensing ... but registration might be the way to go,” she said. “Any step in the right direction is the right way to go.”

lection firms would be the ones responsible for adhering to Metro Vancouver’s new waste rules, she said. “What we might be structuring for may be very different five years down the road,” said Ashlie. “We’re well-positioned to sit back and watch how it unfolds.” Morden noted the need for lawn waste pickup, but said a pure municipal service wasn’t the answer. Couns. Robert Masse and Corisa Bell both said a municipal option was something residents have been asking for, and should be considered. “This is something that was campaigned on,” said Bell. “Citizen surveys reflected this, they are asking for this.” Bell suggested holding a referendum to allow residents to decide which garbage collection model they prefer, while Masse suggested a survey might be more costeffective. The motion to approve the $85,000 study was put off until Tuesday night’s Maple Ridge Council meeting.

Cops, community, profit from criminals by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter Crime may not pay for criminals, but the province’s Civil Forfeiture Ofﬁce is doing brisk business. The Ridge Meadows RCMP and a pair of community groups were the latest recipients of more than $35,000 in grant funding from the CFO. The local police detachment received a $6,100 grant for the purchase of night vision goggles, tablet computers and a digital camera, while Cythera House and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Community Services received grant funding for programs aimed at preventing violence against women and children. “This is about making sure crime doesn’t pay,” said justice minister Shirley Bond, who was in Maple Ridge Monday to tour the local detachment. “This year we provided a record [$5.5 million] in grants.” The provincial civil forfeiture program allows the provincial government to target criminals by conﬁscating their homes, vehicles,

businesses, and other assets believed to be the instruments or proceeds of crime. Police identify property or assets to be seized and forward the cases to the province’s civil forfeiture ofﬁce, which then initiates civil court proceedings. Since the Civil Forfeiture Act was passed in 2006, close to $25 million of property, goods and cashed has been seized by the province. Since 2009, Ridge Meadows RCMP have been responsible for 14 successful cash forfeitures, as well as one property and a 53-footlong trailer, for a total value of $177,079. Since January, Ridge Meadows RCMP have forwarded $605,000 in forfeitures to the CFO, including three properties, and three sums of cash, and the forfeitures are still before the courts. The majority of local forfeitures involve drugrelated crime, with drug houses being targeted and the cash located therein, according to Ridge Meadows RCMP. The proceeds of the forfeitures fund further

police efforts through grant funding, said Bond. Programs selected for grant funding include gang and crime prevention programs, as well as those aimed at violence against women and children, and human trafﬁcking. Among the local recipients was the Cythera Transition House, which received $5,000 to run its VIP Pro-

gram, which provides school presentations on domestic violence prevention. Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Community Services received $25,000 for its Ridge Meadows Child Advocacy Centre Pilot Project, which will establish a multidisciplinary team to responding to child victims of physical and sexual abuse.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Just try no tax Former school trustee Tom Murray has started a petition, asking the City of Pitt Meadows to draft a budget next year with no municipal tax increase. Staff have already proposed annual tax increases of four per cent for the next five years. That’s another 20 per cent, on top of a 35 per cent increase over the past seven years, including 3.93 in 2012. Coun. Bruce Bell made a motion to keep next year’s increase at three per cent. He was supported by Couns. Janis Elkerton and Dave Murray, but it was defeated. John Becker, in his bid for mayor last fall, suggested staff draft a budget to show residents what a zero per cent increase would look like, what services and capital projects would have to be cut, if any. Deb Walters, who defeated him for mayor, seemed at the time to support such an initiative, but now doesn’t think it’s a good idea. Mission, however, did just that, not just showing but passing a 2012 budget with no municipal tax increase, while still managing to pay down some of its $17 million in debt – a figure similar to Pitt Meadows. Mission did so by cutting things like RCMP front desk hours, and reducing the salary increase for council, and cutting evening meals for council. It couldn’t be that difficult, or take up that much staff time, if Mission – with a population at least double that of Pitt Meadows – can do it. West Vancouver and Penticton also did the same this year, by the way. Surely then the talented administrative staff at Pitt Meadows city hall, all heavily compensated – as that’s what it takes to attract the best, we’re so often told – shouldn’t have much difficulty drafting a budget with a zero per cent municipal tax increase, just to see. To just automatically increase taxes every year is unsustainable; some businesses and governments actually institute pay freezes. And other municipalities are proving a budget with no tax increase can be done, so Pitt Meadows can’t just start out by saying no. There’s no harm in giving it a try. – The News Tell us what you think @ www.mapleridgenews.com

Nuggets from Barlee’s gold pan VICTORIA – Shortly after word came of the death of B.C. historian and politician Bill Barlee, my wife searched through her seemingly endless trove of B.C. books and produced half a dozen of his original self-published quarterlies, B.C. Views known as Canada Tom Fletcher West magazine. The earliest one is Winter 1970, where the publisher’s note advises that subscription rates were increasing 20 cents per year to $2.95. Subscriptions were up to more than 1,600 and counter sales were increasing, but costs were also up and Barlee refused to accept either display advertising or U.S. subscriptions. The only colour pages in the issue are high-quality prints of four majestic paintings commissioned for the magazine. Irvine Adams’ scenes of sacred aboriginal sites in the Okanagan-Similkameen include The Gateway to Inkameep, where Barlee remarks: “Today that stream which once teemed with redfish no longer surrenders its once-valued harvest and the perimeter of the desert is gradually being eroded by man’s questionable progress.” With the typography of Old West wanted posters, Barlee provided tightly sourced accounts of B.C.’s legends. “Lost gold mine at Pitt Lake” analyzes and adds to earlier accounts that begin with an aboriginal miner known

as Slumach, who would periodically arrive in New Westminster to squander a small fortune in gold, then disappear up the remote tidal lake. Slumach was hanged for murder in 1891 and in the next 70 years, 11 more men would die trying to find his secret. A scientist as well as a storyteller, Barlee concluded that the area’s geology is wrong and the fabled gold-laden creek “probably does not exist.” A passion for prospecting runs through the magazines, and hints at Barlee’s aversion to treasure-seeking Americans. They overran B.C. in historic waves to take gold, and according to Nelson Star reporter Greg Nesteroff, Barlee believed they continued to loot Canadian heritage sites. Nesteroff was inspired by Barlee’s work, and traced his lonely mission to restore the ghost town of Sandon, “the mining capital of the Silvery Slocan.” Barlee bought a surviving block of buildings in an effort to make Sandon another Barkerville, but heavy snow collapsed them. As tourism minister, Barlee found money to build replicas, and construction began on three. But Barlee lost his Penticton seat to Bill Barisoff in the 1996 election, and today only half-built shells remain. “He was still selling Sandon’s restoration as an economic saviour for the region when he ran for federal office in 2000,” Nesteroff writes. “But by then he was ridiculed for it, and finished a distant second.” Barlee’s 1972 Canada West profile of the boomtown of Hedley would resonate in his career as an NDP MLA and cabinet minister in the 1990s. Hedley’s

Nickel Plate and Mascot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out, and Barlee led the fight to preserve their history. Today you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert. I first discovered Barlee while at the Kelowna Capital News as a reporter in the early 1980s, when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns. A barebones studio affair with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade.

“With the typography of Old West wanted posters, Barlee provided tightly sourced accounts of B.C.’s legends.”

Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine. On subscription fees and a few classified ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:

• Jackie Chow · Maple Ridge, British Columbia: Re: Time to challenge old values, beliefs (mapleridgenews.com). Thank you, Dr. Marco Terwiel, for bringing up the difficult subject of voluntary euthanasia. Death is the only certainty that we all have in life. We should also have the certainty that we’re allowed to be in control of when to end our lives, in a dignified manner. Thanks in part to advances in modern medicine, many people in developed countries are living longer lives, but the time that quality of life is reduced to an intolerable level has increased for some people, as well. It’s not right to ignore the fact that a number of those who are elderly, and done with life, or those who are terminally ill and have to endure intolerable suffering, would choose to end their lives in a dignified manner, if they were allowed to do so. We don’t want to talk about the people who, in fact, do choose to end their lives illegally, and often very much alone, by taking an overdose of sleeping pills, or by whatever other means, because they no longer want to continue to suffer an increasingly unbearable life. We also don’t want to talk about those who are desperate to end their lives but don’t have the courage to do so without the support of their loved ones. If we don’t talk about it, we’re letting all these people down. When the time comes, I certainly would like to be able to make the choice, if I feel I need to.

Re: Pitt sticks to four per cent (The News, July 6). I would like to address Tom Murray and ask: What would you do if you could see into a crystal ball? Would you ﬂick your wand and say no to all the services that we have as a community? Would you be able to see to 2013 and look at policing needs, the ﬁre department, water supply, recreation , diking, street lighting, snow removal, recycling, garbage removal, green waste removal and other services too numerous to mention? Dear, sir, if you and others think that zero per cent is reasonable, you are living in the wrong country. Now for an increase that most residents don’t seem to mind is the value of their property . I doubt many complain when they receive their tax bill and the value of their home has increased. Increases in property value are as good as money in the bank. Extra taxes, the security

that no one has ﬂicked their magic wand and put our community back years has not happened. A petition sometimes is only a piece of paper, and in this case maybe a bit misleading. Let the staff and council do their work. CAROLE KUBB PITT MEADOWS

Re: Pitt sticks to four per cent (The News, July 6). I think that Coun. Gwen O’Connell is out of touch with reality if she thinks our local administration is doing a good job. The top administrators are grossly overpaid to be responsible for a small city of 18,000 people, yet their salaries and beneﬁts are comparable to larger cities like Burnaby, Surrey and Vancouver. It is a known fact that government workers earn, on average, 30-40 per cent than the private sector, including

beneﬁts. They tell us that the salaries must be paid to attract good people, but many of these people could not earn the same salary in the private sector, where results determine job security. My property taxes have increased by more than 31 per cent since 2008, or an increase of 7.75 per cent a year. Our city has gone from not having any debt a few years ago to debt of $16 million today. However, we are comforted by Mayor Deb Walters, who assures us that it is very manageable. When the city took over the arena from receivership. it initially thought $1 million would get it up to standard. The ﬁgure kept changing until it topped out at more than $8 million, and more work could probably be done. The politicians spin this expense by telling us we now have an asset valued at $20 million. Our library is beautiful

and the staff are great, but our administrators have committed to a 10-year lease of more than $151,000 a year. Then there are the salaries and other overhead costs to operate the facility. Another $1.6 million was committed to the completion of the library parking lot. These are only a few examples, but there are many more. Contrary to what the administrators think, many of my neighbours are constantly complaining about the exponentially increasing tax increases, and they are not all seniors. Young people with families are so busy working and spending time with their kids that they aren’t able to get as involved in following local issues, or you might have a demonstration to protest the lack of ﬁscal management. Thank you, Tom Murray, for giving your time to start a petition for all of us tapped-out taxpayers. MAL HANCZIK PITT MEADOWS

A house in Maple Ridge remained behind police tape Tuesday as investigators tried to determine whether a man found dead inside was murdered. Ridge Meadows RCMP, paramedics and the ﬁre department were called to the house on Carshill Street just after 2:15 a.m. Monday to care for a man in medical distress. Paramedics performed CPR on the 59-year-old man, but he died a short while later, despite efforts to revive him. The house was sealed

Paramedics tried to revive a 59-year-old man found at a house on Carshill in Maple Ridge on Monday. off following the man’s death and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called in to help Ridge Meadows RCMP to determine what lead up to it. “We believe there was some sort of domestic incident that occurred prior to this man’s death,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound with IHIT.

“I can’t get into a lot of the details surrounding that.” A neighbour, who asked not to be named, said she didn’t hear or notice anything amiss Sunday night or early Monday morning. She only realized something was wrong when she saw a police car parked outside the

A 75-year-old man fell to his death from the balcony of a seniors’ housing facility in Maple Ridge on Saturday. Ridge Meadows RCMP were

called to Willow Manor on 224th Street just before 11 a.m. after the senior toppled off a second storey balcony. He died at the scene. The fall was not suspicious, so RCMP are not investigating his

death. Police have turned the case over to the B.C. Coroner’s Service. “This is a very unfortunate incident,” said Insp. Dave Fleugel. “There is no sign of any foul play.”

house. Another neighbour claimed the man had a heart attack. Homicide investigators, however, are being cautious and processing the scene as if it were a murder. Pound said the man had no “visible” injuries on his body. “At this point, it looks suspicious and we are investigating it as a homicide. But we are going to need to have the autopsy results to shed some light on what occurred and what the cause of death is,” she added. No one has been arrested, but police are questioning the man’s family and wife. Ofﬁcers will also be canvassing neighbours. The results of the autopsy were expected late Tuesday or early Wednesday.

â€˜They donâ€™t see the whole pictureâ€™ Petition from front Walters wants the city to contact everyone who signs the petition via email, at the very least, and send them information on the budget process. â€œThis is just the start. No decision has been made. Not four per cent, not one per cent, not zero,â€? she said, although a staff report estimated the increases. â€œWe are just moving forward in our business planning process. Weâ€™ve asked staff to come back with as low an increase as possible without cutting services.â€? However, Walters reminds residents that costs have gone up. â€œA foot of piping costs more than it did a year ago. Even if you contemplate zero, you will have to cut something,â€? she said. Walters said just a few weeks ago, Murray was requesting the city install speed bumps and a crosswalk in his neighbourhood. â€œAll those things come at a price,â€? she added. However, several cities have recently implemented zero tax increase budgets, prompting Murray and his supporters to believe the task can be achieved if council and staff put their minds to it. The District of Mission whittled down its budget for 2012 by paring back on small things such as reduced hours at the RCMPâ€™s front desk, no council salary increases and eliminating a part-time clerical position for the mayor. Cuts were made, but Mission still serviced its debt.

The City of Penticton did something similar. Coun. Doug Bing, however, believes Mission council was playing politics when it approved a zero tax increase budget. â€œThey are a new council and really have no clue whatâ€™s going on there,â€? said Bing. â€œIt is very easy for them to come in and make these great pronouncements, but they really donâ€™t know what they are getting themselves into.â€? Bing, too, hopes residents of Pitt Meadows educate themselves about the budget process before signing the petition. â€œWe always love feedback. However, I think that again we are focusing on the number. They donâ€™t see the whole picture,â€? Bing added. â€œLeadership isnâ€™t easy, sometimes we have to do whatâ€™s right and not whatâ€™s popular. We have to look at whatâ€™s best for the whole community in the future, not at this particular time with a large group lobbying.â€? Coun. Tracy Miyashita, meanwhile, wonders what services Murray would cut if he were in their shoes. â€œI would ask him what hours should be run the ďŹ re department, what days of the week does he want police here and should we restrict the number of times a day we can ďŹ‚ush our toilet? said Miyashita. â€œI think people are misinformed. I donâ€™t think they are realizing

what a zero per cent tax increase means. What would you cut? Because I think we get a lot of bang for our buck here.â€? Coun. Bruce Bell, however, would like to see staff prepare a budget based on a zero tax increase, just to see what it would mean in terms of loss of services. â€œI am not for cutting services at this time. I think we need to have a look at it, thatâ€™s all I am suggesting,â€? he said.

Although Bellâ€™s resolution for a three per cent tax increase budget was defeated last Tuesday, he found support from councillors Janis Elkerton and Dave Murray. Elkerton doesnâ€™t like to see council split on decisions. â€œFour-three splits are not good decisions,â€? she said. â€œWhen people say nobody is complaining, I think thatâ€™s untrue. I think we have to be realistic as politicians and put ourselves in our communityâ€™s boots and say, â€˜We canâ€™t do this anymore.â€™â€?

This year, The Caring Place in Maple Ridge will be setting up their red kettles at SaveOn Foods on Friday,

In Maple Ridge, a cat’s head was left outside a school, another was placed on a porch and in a plastic bag. A tail was also found under a missing cat poster, while another was tacked to a fence. The SPCA believes the animals were moved post-mortem and is working with the RCMP to ﬁnd suspects.

he Whonnock cemetery is one of the most peaceful places in Maple Ridge. Tucked away on a dead-end street and partially shaded by mature trees, it is well worth a visit, either to explore the weathered headstones of pioneer settlers or to just enjoy the quietness. Members of the Norwegian community first established the cemetery, or rather a portion of it, in 1905. They even built their own small wooden church and for many years held Lutheran services there in Norwegian. Prominent among the Norwegian settlers were Ole Lee, or “Lie” in Norwegian, and his wife Jorgine, as well as the Nelson family, whose graves can still be found in this part of the cemetery. Originally, the Norwegians were fishermen, but several of the menfolk were lured away by the promise of finding gold in the Klondike and spent years away from Whonnock prospecting. Over time, more of the descendants moved away, and those who remained didn’t speak Norwegian any longer, so in 1958 the wooden church was finally dismantled. Still, Teddy and Hank Lee, grandsons of Ole and Jorgine, continued to take care of this part of the cemetery and in 1982 were able to produce a plan of the graves, of which many were unmarked. In 1919, the Maple Ridge municipality acquired the part of land to the east for use as the municipal cemetery. But it was not until 1982 that the two cemeteries were joined, with the municipality becoming the sole owner. The first to be buried in this new, municipal part was Annie Buckley, who died in February 1922. She was the daughter of Noble and Catherine Oliver, who died in 1923 and 1932, respectively, and whose graves are right

beside that of their daughter. Noble Oliver built the first store in Whonnock when the railroad came through and was the first postmaster. He was also one of the first school trustees and donated the land where St. Paul’s was built, the first Anglican church in Whonnock. In this part of the cemetery you can find the grave of Reeve Ferguson, who is said to have wished “to be buried between two strangers.” Also buried here are the parents and grandparents of Ruskin historian Charles Miller, whose book The Valley of the Stave tells the story of their arrival and settlement in this area. Another noteworthy Whonnockian was Fred Showler, who was buried here beside his wife Emma. Showler owned and operated the Red and White Store next to the post office from 1921 to 1946. Other graves are those of Richard Stanley Whiting, his wife, and his daughter. Whiting served as Whonnock postmaster for 45 years. A nearby grave is that of his mother-in-law, ‘Granny’ Benson, who was much loved in the community and who named her small house on what is now Byrnes Road, “Crowsnest.” The oldest grave marker, though not the oldest grave, in this part of the cemetery is an upright stone cross in the northeast corner, commemorating Ann (Robertson) Watson, who died in 1922. More Watsons are buried nearby. The old Watson family home still stands on the northeast corner of 272nd Street and Bell Avenue. There are graves of many of Whonnock’s Japanese families, including Hidaka, Natsuhara, Fujita, and Mukaida. • To find out who is buried where, Google search “Whonnock notes.” Obtain a printed version at the Whonnock post office. Fred Braches is a local historian who lives in Whonnock.

ower-income seniors and families in communities throughout B.C. will have increased access to locally grown produce and food products as the result of a $2-million, one-time grant to the B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets. Funding supports the Farmers’ Market Nutrition and Coupon Program, which provides coupons each week for participants to spend at their local farmers’ market. Running for 14 weeks this year, the program is targeted at lower-income seniors and families, including pregnant women, who are participating in cooking and skillbuilding programs. These programs teach participants how to cook healthy, nutritious meals, including using locally produced farm products. Families will receive $15 worth of coupons each week, while seniors will receive $12 worth. Coupons are treated like cash and can be used to purchase a variety of B.C. food products including fruit, vegetables, meat, ﬁsh, nuts, dairy and fresh cut herbs. The program matches B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets member farmers’ markets with one or more community agencies that operate a cooking and skillbuilding program. The program will support up to 50 families and pregnant women and up to 10 seniors per community. The intent is to expand the program to support more individuals and B.C. communities each year. “For many B.C. families, particularly those living in urban areas, farmers’ markets provide a great opportunity to purchase fresh produce directly from growers as well as to sample a variety of healthy

B.C.-produced foods that they might not ordinarily have access to,” said Minister of Health Michael de Jong. “We are proud to support the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets and the Farmers’ Market Nutrition and Coupon Program, which is helping to improve the health of B.C. families by offering increased access to locally produced food for those in the most need.” The B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets is a provincially registered, non-profit association, which represents farmers’ markets throughout the province. At member markets, the focus is on selling locally grown or processed farm-fresh foods and vendors must either make, bake or grow the products they sell. “Farmers’ markets operate in every corner of the province, offering residents access to a variety of farm-fresh foods, from fruits and vegetables to specialty cheeses,” said B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets executive director Elizabeth Quinn. “We are pleased that this funding will allow us to operate the coupon program, which provides more B.C. families with access to local produce.” The B.C. government continues to support programs that benefit the health of B.C. families, and the Farmers’ Market Nutrition and Coupon Program is part of the comprehensive Healthy Families B.C. public-health strategy. Healthy Families B.C. supports British Columbians in making healthier choices by providing a variety of easily accessible tools and information on healthy eating, physical activity and creating healthier communities.

(Left) Steampunk pirates Corisa Bell, Kimberly Dyer and Carol Dagenais with Michael Stusiak as Boyet, the airship captain rehearse a scene from Love’s Labour’s Lost for Bard on the Bandstand.

Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters will make an appearance as a pirate on opening night.

Shakespearean steampunk romance Love’s Labour’s Lost gets a quirky, creative treatment in this Emerald Pig production by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter

n the steampunk universe, there are kings, queens and epic battles fought over love or loot. It’s just the kind of place where The Bard would feel at home. “The steampunks are all about imagination and creativity,” says Sharon Malone, who is directing a steampunk version of William Shakespeare’s comedy Love’s Labour’s Lost. “It works beautifully with this whole theme.” Steampunk is a sub-genre of fantasy and ﬁction set in an era where steam power is still used. It rebels against the present, through its fashion, music and art, by combining clothes – corsets and top hats – from the Victorian era with futuristic, bizarre inventions. Think of the technology and ﬁctional machines found in stories by Jules Vern and H.G. Wells. It’s no wonder that Love’s Labour’s Lost, one of Shakespeare’s early comedies, works brilliantly in the anachronistic steampunk era. “What’s better than a bunch of geeks, living in this observatory, looking up at the stars but stuck in this geek world of science?” Malone says as she tells the tale of King Ferdinand of

Navarre, who decrees that he and his three noble companions – Berowne, Dumaine, and Longaville – must devote themselves to three years of study and swear off women during the pursuit. “Nobody seems to get that this plan is really ﬂawed.”

“There’s not a happy ending but there’s a sense of hope.” Lauren Campbell, actress, playing Princess of France

The oath, however, falters when the Princess of France arrives at the city’s gates, with her entourage of lovely ladies, to settle a land deal gone bad. Far from being coy, dainty lasses, the princess and her friends are feisty airship pirates in this Emerald Pig production, who arrive on a 20-foot-long dirigible, or “lighter-than-air” craft, toting ray guns and armour. “These girls are whizzing around in their world, living life to the fullest,” says Malone. “But when they get to Navarre, there is no welcoming party and they ﬁnd out they have to stay outside the city, in a ﬁeld. They are not really impressed.” Jason Etherington, a Pitt Meadows actor

tasked with bringing Ferdinand to life, understands why the king would issue such a silly decree. “He’s a younger man, who is keen to make his mark, keen to impress the world,” says Etherington, whose acted in three Bard on the Bandstand productions. “He’s just taken over from his father and wants to build on his legacy. He’d like to make Navarre one of the most accredited places of learning in the world.” When the king’s friends second his bizarre plan, the king can’t help being excited. “Who is going to say no to the king? He doesn’t get challenged,” adds Etherington. But when the princess arrives, everyone instantly (and comically) falls in love. “It’s amazing how quickly the princess changes everything,” says Etherington. “It’s like Friends or something. Just the ultimate switch in comedy.” Love’s Labour’s Lost is one of Shakespeare’s most poetic plays, making the lines just a little bit harder for actors to deliver. “It’s quite challenging to make it not sound like a nursery rhyme,” says Etherington. Lauren Campbell, who plays his love interest, the Princess of France, agrees. This is the second time the aspiring actress has attempted a Shakespeare production, but auditioning for the lead role meant she had to conquer several fears. “If Shakespeare is not done well ... you feel like you’ve done a disservice to such beautiful writing,” says Campbell. She’s glad she eased herself into a lead role.

“I realize that it’s like another piece of writing in that as long as you come from a place where you find the character inside you, the words will come and will make sense.” To remember the script, Campbell dissected each line, figured out how she’d say it in modern English, then recited them while doing mundane tasks such as folding laundry or washing her face. “Getting it into your body is a big thing,” Campbell explains, “especially with a play that you find really challenging. So if something happens on stage that is unexpected, it doesn’t throw you off.” In addition to its lyrical dialogue, Love’s Labour’s Lost is one of a few Bard plays that strays from the usual ending. There’s isn’t a marriage, or tragedy. “It’s wonderful to be able to bring these plays that were written centuries ago to stage with a modern twist,” says Campbell. “There’s not a happy ending, but there’s a sense of hope and you hope they live happily every after. I love those movies where you are left thinking, ‘I wonder where they’ll end up.’”

Bard on the Bandstand Love’s Labour’s Lost plays July 19 to July 22 in Pitt Meadows’ Spirit Square and July 26-29 at Memorial Peace Park in Maple Ridge. Shows at 8 p.m. Thursday to Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sundays. Bring a lawn chair and blanket and donation for the food bank. Shows are free.

specializes in proﬁling victims, when she’s not overindulging in gourmet food. In the south of France, where hatred simmers in the heat, a man seemingly admired, but certainly feared, is killed during a dinner party. All of the guests fall under suspicion, as each one has a possible motive for murder. Add to that the disappearance of an ancient gold collar that’s said to be cursed and you have the ingredients for a Nicoise salad of death, secrets and lies. Will the resourceful Morgan ﬁnd the killer before she, too, becomes a victim of a murderer who is driven by a surprising, and disturbing, motive? “I’m hoping to attract folks to the book signing event who might have missed the launch, or who might have picked up news about the book since the launch and are interested in meeting me,’ says Ace. “This book is also an ideal summer read – so I think it’s great timing to host this event.”

McBride invited to NHLPA mentorship camp by T i m Fi t z g e r a l d contributor Maple Ridge’s Nick McBride’s stock continues to rise as the Burnaby Winter Club goalie has been invited to the National Hockey League Players’ Association’s All-Canadian Mentorship Camp in Toronto. The camp, hosted by 21-year NHL veteran and Stanley Cup winner Gary Roberts, takes place July 17-21 and features 42 of the best bantam-age players in the country. McBride is excited for the opportunity to improve his game. “It’s really amazing,” said McBride, who was the second goalie picked in the recent Western Hockey League bantam draft, 23rd overall by the Prince Albert Raiders. “To be able to work with NHL players and coaches will be a great experience.” McBride said he’s looking forward to get a chance to work alongside current NHLer Martin Biron. Roberts, who has become a fitness guru amongst many current NHL players, will lead the camp for the on-ice drills,. Roberts has solicited the help of a number of high profile names to lead the off-ice portion of the camp. McBride will get also sit in on sessions with Dr. Paul Dennis, a 20-year veteran team psychologist for the Toronto Maple Leafs. In addition, fitness experts Matt Nichol and Lorne Goldenberg will instruct McBride and the rest of the players for the off-ice component, and nutritionist Ryan Dennis of Nature’s Emporium will provide players with tips on what to eat and drink for optimum athletic performance. The goal of the camp is to provide the next generation of NHL players with a pro experience that will give them tools and the knowledge to help them make the transition to the next level in their careers. The all-expenses paid trip is another feather in the cap of the highly regarded Maple Ridge goalie. McBride backstopped Burnaby Winter Club to two consecutive Western Canadian Championships before being drafted by the Raiders. The 15-year-old will play his first year of major midget in the fall, looking to secure a spot on the Vancouver North East Chiefs. As an under-ager, McBride will only be eligible to play five games for the Raiders next season, and said he wants to make sure he’s ready to make the club at 16. He said he’s working hard in the off-season to make sure that happens.

contributed

Nick McBride of the Burnaby Winter Club posted a 38-6 record with a 1.88 GGA, .924 SV% and nine shutouts in 2011/12 bantam play. “I’ve been going to Giants games for a long time, and to be drafted by one of those teams is pretty exciting. I’m really looking forward to training camp,” said McBride, the 6’2, 160-pound net minder who was named to the Western Canadian Championship’s ﬁrst all-star team and top goalie in 2012. The prospect heads to Prince Albert in late August to open

camp with the Raiders. He said the development camp will be a great ﬁrst experience in dealing with the next step in his career. McBride said he’s happy to be regarded so highly by the Prince Albert Raiders and thanks his parents for the countless hours they’ve dedicated to getting to this point in his young career.

O’Meara pays dividends as Burrards chop down Timbermen sports@mapleridgenews.com Promised more ﬂoor time in Maple Ridge, newly acquired Burrards’ forward Patrick O’Meara delivered Sunday against the Nanaimo Timbermen. The big left-hander scored the winning goal with nine seconds left in the third to secure a 11-10 decision in Sunday’s home game against the Timbermen.

The Burrards rallied in the third period from an 9-6 deﬁcit to take a 10-9 lead with just under four minutes left in the game, thanks in large part to three goals in a span of one minute and 28 seconds. However, the Timbermen, playing their second game in as many nights, pulled even with 3:05 left in the frame. The home crowd was treated to the thrilling win as the clock wound down thanks

to O’Meara’s ﬁrst in a Burrards uniform, on a set-up by Creighton Reid. O’Meara was picked up just more than a week ago from the Langley Thunder for defenceman Sam Cook. The Thunder also acquired veteran Steven Hay and two draft picks in the deal. The Burrards scored six goals in the third for their second win of the season. Jared Davis led the

Burrards with three goals and three assists, taking home ﬁrst star honours. Burrards’ goalie Drew Dickie registered the win, facing 54 shots, including 19 in the ﬁnal frame. The win improves the Burrards to 2-10-1 on the season. The win comes after the Burrards dropped an 8-5 decision to the Salmonbellies Thursday night in New Westminster. The Burrards trailed throughout the

game, falling behind 2-1 after the opening period and 5-3 after two. O’Meara and Riley Loewen had two assists each. Dickie took the loss in net. The Burrards will look to make it two straight as they are back in action against the Timbermen Saturday night in Nanaimo. • The Burrards next home game is Sunday against the Coquitlam Adanacs starting at 6:45 p.m.

Misfits cap spring with Whistler win The upstart Maple Ridge Misfits may want to consider changing their name. The new atom spring team, comprised of 12 Maple Ridge players and four from the Tri-Cities and Chilliwack, jelled quickly en route to capturing gold at the Whistler International All-Star Hockey Tournament on the Canada Day weekend. The Maple Ridge Misfits crushed the defending champion B.C. Blackhawks 8-2 to win the tournament. The Misfits jumped out to an early lead and cruised to a comfortable win over the previously undefeated Blackhawks. Head coach Bruce Vasarhely said his team fed of the role of being the dark horse going into the tournament. “It was clear that our boys were having a lot of fun together,” said Vasarhely. “They became close in a very short time. Their success came from their underdog spirit and their willingness to

play for one another.” The coach said the cohesiveness of the team was evident in how the scoring was spread around the team. Kent Johnson led the Misfits with seven goals and five assists, followed by Ethan Bowen, chipping in with four goals and four assists. Others: Jordan Bahowrie (2g, 4a); Matteo Bellano (3g, 1a); Ty Crowe (2g, 2a); Ethan Kitsch (2g, 2)a, Oliver Para (4a); Talon Duff (2g, 1a); Carter Sheridan (1g, 2a); Jakob Gullmes (1g, 1a); Evan Vasarhely (2g); Kyle Sackman (1g, 1a); Andrew Chua (1a); John Paul Kahlert (1a); and Kenyon Nyman (1a). Goaltender Eric Clark finished with a 2.50 goals-against average and an .891 save percentage over six games. The Misfits finished round-robin play with a record of 3-1. They opened the tournament dropping their only game, 4-2 to Edmonton’s CanWest AAA Bearcats.

The team rebounded with a 5-4 win over the Mountain Wolverines. The Misfits outshot the pesky Wolverines 54-19. They went on to win their next two games, a 5-1 drubbing of the Ravens Black, and another 5-4 win over the Cougar Selects, a team comprised of players from Greater Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. In a rematch of the opening game of the tournament, the Misfits made up for their only blemish in round-robin play with a resounding 3-1 win over the Bearcats in the semi-finals. Misfits associate coach Marc Sheridan was not surprised at the team’s success. “The boys had out-chanced opponents 54-19 and 44-18 in games leading into the playoff round. We knew it would be just a matter of time for the goals to start to come.” See team picture @ mapleridgenews.com

Doug passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on July 6, 2012. Doug had a long, eventful and happy life. He grew up in Manitoba and then served his country with distinction in World War II. He was one of the lucky few survivors of the ill fated Dieppe raid. But the war was not all bad for Doug. During the war, while stationed in England, he met and married his sweetheart, Winnie, and with her raised a loving family in Maple Ridge, B.C. Early retirement allowed Doug to pursue one of his great passions, hitting the road with Winnie in one of the many recreation vehicles they owned. Doug was predeceased by his wife, Winnie, and leaves behind his three children, John (Mary), Jane (Don), and David (Laurie), five grandchildren, six great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. Dad, we’ll never forget you and will carry you with us down every road we walk. A Celebration of Life service will be held for Doug at 2:00 p.m. on July 14, 2012 at the community hall at Pioneer Park, 27111 - 0 Avenue (corner of 0 Avenue and 272 Street), Aldergrove. No flowers please.

Passed away peacefully on July 5, 2012 after a long battle with cancer. Born in Penticton, BC on September 20, 1957. He leaves behind his Mother Rose, Son Mack, 3 Sisters & 4 Brothers as well as countless family and friends, and is previously deceased by his father, John. Donny’s humor, kindness and willingness to step up and help anyone in need will never be forgotten by all that knew him. A “Celebration of His Life” will be held on Saturday, July 14, 2012 @ 11:00 a.m. at Garden Hill Funeral Chapel 11765 224th Street Maple Ridge, BC A special thank you to the Maple Ridge Palliative Team & the staff at McKenney Creek Hospice.
