Pitt tax petition talk gets testy Petition delivered with 1,300 signatures

by M on ish a M a r ti ns staff reporter

A petition calling for no residential tax increase in Pitt Meadows next year sparked a testy exchange Tuesday as the petitioners made their final plea for city council to heed their request.

Tom and Norma Murray presented the petition with 1,300 signatures to council, accompanied by speeches imploring the city to rein in spending and give property owners tax relief in 2013.

“We hope council and city staff are willing to listen to solutions from us, the residents, who have spent several months analyzing the city’s budget and believe no tax increase is possible without drastic cuts to services,” said Tom Murray.

A former school board trustee, Murray started the petition in July after a staff report to council suggested general taxes will increase about four per cent annually for the next five years.

‘Stop Kinder pipeline project’ Watch group meeting attracts 75 people

NDP candidate Elizabeth Rosenau, at the meeting, raised the issue of earthquakes.

People power in the Fraser Valley stopped the Sumas 2 power plant in its tracks a decade ago.

People can do the same thing to the twinning of Kinder Morgan Canada’s pipeline in B.C., Pitt Meadows resident Rob Dramer said at a town hall meeting

And people may have reached the point where they’re not going to put up with such projects anymore. This could be a turning point when people say “No” to big oil and gas, added Bob D’Eith, a Maple Ridge lawyer seeking the NDP nomination for Maple Ridge-Mission.

About 75 people showed up at Golden Ears United Church as the Fraser Valley Pipeline Watch Group took issue with Kinder Morgan’s plans to twin its oil pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby.

The pipeline will carry heavier oils than the existing pipeline and increase capacity to 750,000 barrels a day from 300,000.

“This pipeline is 100 metres from where I live, so it’s pretty personal to me,” said Abbotsford resident Lynn Perrin.

A minor oil spill occurred in the Kinder Morgan facility in Abbotsford in January.

Perrin said the new pipeline would carry diluted bitumen and that the present pipeline is already exporting part of its capacity to China.

Tsleil-Waututh band in North Vancouver, said his band and the Squamish band both signed the Save The Fraser Declaration opposing the Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline across northern B.C. “Our lands are sacred and our connection to these lands are sacred,” he said.

“Look what happened in New York. Things are changing.”

The issue isn’t a First Nations or an environmental problem, he added. “It’s all of our problem.” see Pipeline, p8

The value of peace S tor y by Rober t Mangelsdor f

G

iven his spritely step and gleam in his eye, you could be forgiven for mistaking Maple Ridge’s Bill Mitchell for a much younger man.

This Sunday, Mitchell will be marching in full uniform with his fellow former soldiers along the stretch of 224th Street now known as Veteran’s Way, from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 88 to the cenotaph at Memorial Peace Park.

For Mitchell, its important to remember and honour the sacrifices made defending Canada and its allies, even if it means walking on a ankle bruised from a recent fall.

“I think it’ll hold up all right,” Mitchell says with a grin.

At 92 years old, he is one of an ever shrinking number of veterans.

Those from the First World War, Second World War, and Korean War have fallen from more than 300,000 nationally in 2003 to 95,000 today.

With every soldier who passes, so too does a living piece of history, says Maple Ridge Museum director Val Patenaude.

“It’s really important we find new ways to keep this in our memories as we lose our living reminders,” she added. “That generation is an important link to the past.”

Unlike the Vietnam War, and more recent conflicts in Bosnia and Afghanistan, the conflicts of the early- and mid-20th Century,

weren’t televised.

“I don’t know how much of an understanding we really have [of the Second World War],” says Patenaude. “That generation, they simply didn’t talk about the war once they came home. My father fought in World War Two, and he never spoke about it to us.”

The museum’s archives have records of close to 700 Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows residents who served in the Second World War, including 36 women.

Nearly 300 local men fought in the First World War, many for their country of origin, rather than Canada.

“That’s an incredible number considering how small the community was then,” says Patenaude. “Pretty much every young man left to fight in the war.”

Mitchell’s story begins in 1920, when he was born on 232nd Street, back when it was still called Lillooet Road. He spent much of his teen years working on local farms, running a team of horses to help “Most of the people I worked for were Japanese,” he says. “They were farmers, they grew strawberries and what have you, but they had no experience working with animals or livestock.”

Mitchell and his sweetheart Victoria were married, and the two moved to Whitehorse, where Mitchell was helping to construct the city’s airport.

He was there when war began, and was told he could avoid conscription if he stayed in the Yukon.

Mitchell instead returned to the Lower Mainland and reported for duty. Thanks to his skills with a

Mitchell arrived in Liverpool, England on April 1, 1943, when he joined the Fourth Anti-Tank, part of the Fifth Canadian Division.

After a stop in Northern Africa, Mitchell ended up in Italy, where he operated a mobile repair truck, and would spend his days fixing generators, repairing trucks, and building replacement parts from scratch.

“It was up to us to keep every thing moving,” he says.

Even if that means swapping out the radiator of 30-ton tank in the middle of a battle.

“We were never on the front lines, we were the next ones back,” he says.

But just in case enemy tanks did break through the line, there was a 17-pound artillery gun to defend

Parade rolls into Memorial Peace Park Sunday is the day to honour our fallen heroes and those still with us, as ceremonies for the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month get underway in Maple Ridge.

Starting just before 10 a.m., veterans, and legion members, police, firefighters, corrections

officers and boy scouts will gather outside Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 88 on Brown Avenue.

Then they’ll march south along 224th Street, renamed Veteran’s Way, and arrive at Memorial Peace Park just after 10 a.m.

The actual ceremony takes

place in front of the cenotaph in the middle of the park, at 11 a.m., to mark those who’ve served the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, Afghanistan and in peacekeeping operations around the world. The ceremony concludes between 11:30 a.m. and noon,

their position.

Mitchell says his division travelled up and down Italy for the better part of two years, until the war ended in 1945.

“It was up to us to keep every thing moving.”

After traveling by ship to Marseille, France, Mitchell and many thousands of other Canadian soldiers made a bee-line across a warravaged Europe to Northern Holland, before being shipped home.

“We passed hundreds of German tanks along the way, taken out by our aircraft,” he says. “They were just pushed to the side of the road, one after another, so we could get through.”

after prayers, speeches, a flypast and placement of wreaths.

A feature unique to the Maple Ridge ceremony will be a procession of vintage automobiles as part of the Parade of Heroes.

If you can’t make it down for the ceremony, go to the District of Maple Ridge’s Facebook page (facebook.com/yourmapleridge) and you’ll see photos of the memorials that will be displayed in the park.

Mitchell was discharged and returned to Maple Ridge in 1946.

The Japanese farmers were gone, victims of the internment, so he did odd jobs to make ends meet.

Mitchell took an apprenticeship at Mussallem Motors and used the skills he learned in the army to become an auto repairman.

Before long, he opened up a Standard Oil service station on Dewdney Trunk Road, where Haney Plaza now stands. The service station became a Chevron before Mitchell sold it in 1984. A General Paint store now stands where his service station once was.

“I used what I learned in the army every day,” he says of his career as a repairman. “It all helped.”

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 88 in Maple Ridge is organizing Remembrance Day events in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows this Sunday.

Car Care Enrollment less than predicted REMEMBERING I would like to introduce you to Able Seaman Mervyn Owen, a Canadian veteran of World War 2. Merv enlisted in the regular navy in March of 1941 at the ripe old age of 18. After basic training, he was posted to the HMCS Ottawa, a Canadian destroyer assigned to convoy duty in the North Atlantic.

Convoy duty was the practice of guarding the supply ships used by the Allies to ferry supplies from Canada and the US to Europe, to support the Allied war effort. Without these supply ships gaining safe passage to their destinations, we would have lost the war and life as we know it today would not exist.

Seventy years ago on Friday, September 13th, 1942, the HMCS Ottawa was on route on a return leg to Canada located halfway between Iceland and Newfoundland. At 23:30 pm while Merv was sleeping in the Seaman’s Mess, the HMCS Ottawa was hit by a torpedo launched from a German U-boat submarine. The first torpedo hit the ship on the port side, and was quickly followed by a second torpedo which hit midship causing the Ottawa to sink.

The final numbers are in, and enrollment has dropped further than expected in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District.

District staff presented the school board with updated enrollment numbers for the 2012/13 school year Wednesday.

Excluding international students, the district currently has 13,725 students, down nearly 400 compared to 2011.

The district expected 13,865 students this year.

While elementary student enrollment remained relatively stable, with a decrease of 96 students, secondary school enrollment was a different story, with a drop of 302 students, to 5,787.

Despite falling enrollment, the number of students requiring

This article first ran eight years ago when I interviewed Merv Owen. Merv was a very good friend who I’d met along with his wife Fay many years earlier at the local curling club. On Sunday December 2, 2007 Merv passed away and we all lost a very good friend. Merv, I’ll never forget our monthly visits, Les Habs and real hockey and our yearly calender reviews. You may be gone my friend, but you’ll never be forgotten.

The local legion has fewer than 90 Second World War and Korean War veterans left, but those that are able, such as Mitchell, will be taking part.

“They’re tough old birds,” says Legion president Jim MacDonald.

While the number of veterans continues to fall, MacDonald is pleased to see the interest from the community increasing.

“Every year we see more and more people coming to the Remembrance Day ceremonies,” he says.

“Our history is so important, and these men, we owe our way of life to them. I think there’s more of an awareness and appreciation for the things they did now.”

For Mitchell, he hopes the younger generations remember not only sacrifices made in times of war, but the value of peace.

“I just hope they don’t have to go through that again,” he says. “The way things are going in the world today, I worry it may happen again. I don’t want to see my great grandkids go through anything like that.”

Special education students of all levels increased by 33 across the district, from 691 last year to 724 this year.

The company cost the district more than $4,300 to start up, but had remained inactive since being founded.

Merv suffered two broken vertebrae in his back, multiple facial injuries including a broken nose and various other wounds. He spent five hours in the North Atlantic Ocean along with sixty four other lucky souls until they were rescued by other navy vessels.

The rescue vessel arrived to port in Newfoundland and Merv and most of his mates spent the next few months–four in Merv’s case– recovering from their wounds. When released from the hospital, Merv came home for his thirty days survivor’s leave after which he returned to active duty in the English Channel. Mervyn Owen is a genuine war hero and there are very few of them left these days!

‘You should want to hear them’ Petition from front

Fed up with tax increase upon tax increase, Murray wanted the city to follow West Vancouver and Mission, cities which saw no increase in taxes in 2012.

Abbotsford is attempting one that’s “near zero.”

Murray’s wife Norma was saddened by the fallout of the petition, which she said has been viewed by the city’s mayor and some councillors as a “personal vendetta.”

“Your task now, as responsible city government, is to show all these people here tonight - as well as those who aren’t how you can get our fine city back in the black, by using good old common sense,” she told council.

“Turn this around. I know you can do it.”

The Murrays’ speeches, however, did not elicit a positive responses from everyone on council.

Couns. Janis Elkerton and Bruce Bell promised to be mindful of their plea for no tax increase when the city begins preparing next year’s budget.

Both councillors support the residents’ call for staff to craft a zero-tax increase budget, to see exactly what services would be cut.

“I take this very seriously and I am very concerned about constantly increasing taxes. I am a taxpayer myself,” said Elkerton.

Their colleagues, though, are adamant that a zero-tax budget is a waste of staff time and an impossible feat.

Mayor Deb Walters pointed out just a month before the petition was started, the Murrays invited her over for coffee and presented her with a list of “demands.”

Walters said the couple wanted speed bumps, a cement wall, additional signage, more bylaw enforcement and police in their neighbourhood.

“Those things come at a cost, they are not free,” she added.

Walters, raising her voice, assured “if there is a way to cut back, we will!”

“We have asked staff to work on a budget that is not excessive. We are all taxpayers in this community. That is our commitment and it has always been. We thank you for bringing the petition. We will circulate it and take it under advisement,” Walters said.

Coun. Tracy Miyashita, meanwhile, accused the

Murrays and their supporters of pressuring people to sign the petition.

“Unlike Coun. Elkerton, I don’t believe in the validity of this petition because of the methods used to obtain signatures,” she said.

“I have received numerous complaints from residents about this.”

She alleged people were “bullied” and “pressured” into signing the petition while entering grocery stores. When residents did not sign the petition at their doors, Miyashita claims, there was aggression.

“A lot of people signed it based on the misinformation they were receiving at that time,” she added.

Coun. Gwen O’Connell noted that Mission, the city which had no tax increase this year, was not part of Metro Vancouver, while Coun. Doug Bing asked the Murrays what services those who signed the petition want cut.

“I can tell you this council is reasonable and we will be looking closely at the budget,” said Bing.

The comments from councillors did not go unchallenged. At the end of the meeting, more residents spoke in support

of the petition and once again pleaded with council to listen to their solutions.

Andrew Markowski, a resident who helped collect signatures for the petition, took offence to the suggestion that people were coerced.

Another called councillors’ attitudes “disgraceful.”

“This is the city, right here,” said Jerry Gillan, turning around and pointing to a packed council chamber.

“Don’t shoot the messenger. He is here with a message and it’s not just his. Your jobs up there are for the people. You should want to hear from them.”

Budget time Presentations for 2013 business planning will be held at Pitt Meadows city hall Dec. 5, 6, and 11.

They will include highlights of each department’s business plan, an overview of the city’s financial plan and related tax issues. All meetings are open to the public.

There will also be a formal public consultation meeting at an open house on Dec. 11 at 5 p.m.

Business plans will also be available online and in print at the library as of Nov. 23.

Zero work

The battle over taxes in Pitt Meadows has turned ugly.

The city first proposed tax increases of four per cent in each of the next five years, after years of the same.

Residents then started a petition in the summer, asking for a zero per cent tax increase next year.

We don’t know how that would be achieved, what services would have to be cut, or what else, because council refuses to direct staff to show us what a budget with a zero per cent municipal tax increase would look like.

Instead, council is engaging in a war of words with those who started the petition, and those who report on it, demonizing anyone who challenges them to be more responsible or try something new.

What are Mayor Deb Walters and her colleagues afraid of?

Their arguments and challenges are hollow – and sometimes malicious – because they have nothing to back up their claims.

Meanwhile, other municipalities (Mission, Penticton, Whistler and West Vancouver) have passed or are set to pass budgets with no municipal tax increase. Abbotsford is planning a “near-zero” tax increase in 2013.

How prudent of them all, to try and reduce the burden on residents by showing a little restraint, passing up modest salary increases, some of them even.

Pitt Meadows is a small city, not even a city at all, really, and just sold municipal land to a developer for $12.25 million, enough to cover much of the debt incurred in recent years to build a new community centre, new library and skate park, and upgrade the hockey arena.

Residents are happy to have them all, no doubt.

Still, it is frustrating to watch council lash out at those who pay their salaries when members are not insisting a budget with no tax increase be passed, only that one be presented for viewing.

Here you have citizens who want to be involved – they packed council chambers Tuesday – want to have a say, be engaged in the process, and council is disrespecting and criticizing petitioners, for exercising their democratic right, going door-to-door collecting signatures.

They got 1,300.

That’s half the people who voted in the last municipal election.

This petition isn’t about one person, or playing politics. It’s about listening to the electorate.

You can’t tell them it can’t be done if you are unwilling to even try.

Enough with the bickering and the antics.

Get to work.

‘Belief’ key word in misinformation S

ome people have called me a doubting Thomas, curmudgeon or even a heretic. If I were living in a country with a repressive theocratic government I would have to worry I would be sentenced to death for questioning some of their outrageous beliefs Health Care and practices.

Marco Terwiel The problem is that their governments do not think their beliefs are outrageous at all.

Being a citizen of this wonderfully tolerant country called Canada, we all enjoy the privilege of many freedoms.

Free speech allows all of us to voice and discuss opinions about controversial issues.

I make liberal use of this privilege, hoping people will take a second look at their own firmly held beliefs and check these against the scientific evidence available. Being outspoken, I acquired some of the above mentioned less flattering labels. I wear them with pride.

It all started when I discovered, to my great dismay, the truth about Santa Claus.

Like the great majority of my contemporaries, I had an unshakable belief in the existence of the jolly benefactor who knew everything about my conduct and would reward or punish me accordingly. My parents certainly benefited from my faith in Santa; especially in the months leading up to Christmas, I was on my best behaviour.

But after learning more about such tradi-

Q

uestion of the week:

tions, I would no longer would take anybody’s word that certain activities or events would bring good or bad luck; tried them all and nothing ever materialized. Yet many people firmly believe that travelling on Friday the 13th is inviting trouble. I had the best travel ever with four seats to my own in a half-full flight from Hong Kong back to Vancouver, because of this silly superstition.

I was very young at the time, when many children died of whooping cough, diphtheria, polio, tetanus and many other highly contagious diseases. The grave markers dating back to the 1930s and ’40s show a disconcerting numbers of babies and very young children among the dead.

At that time, the only effective protection against any of these diseases was for smallpox. That was accomplished by vaccinating all children and adults with a harmless cowpox-virus to stimulate their own immune system to build up a guaranteed defense against this terrible disease.

Scientists took this concept and gradually developed a series of safe and effective vaccines against most of the childhood killer diseases.

The public health agencies in the developed countries waged campaigns to protect all children.

The result: many new physicians have never seen a case of diphtheria, measles or polio. That is to say, until recently, when a mini epidemic of whooping cough raged through our part of the world, killing several babies and causing many to be hospitalized for weeks with potentially lifethreatening conditions.

If you wonder why this happened, it is

Are you prepared for an earthquake?

Yes: 27% – No: 73% (40 votes)

because an increasing number of otherwise reasonably intelligent people believed there was more harm than good in protecting their offspring based on blatant misinformation from self-professed experts. The keyword is ‘belief.’

There is no scientific evidence to support those beliefs. Yet I could talk until I was blue in the face, but they stuck to their unfounded opinion, blindly put their children in harm’s way.

Most of the vaccines are nearly 100 per cent effective in providing protection against potentially lethal diseases. The one exception is the flu vaccine. The flu virus changes identity fairly frequently and therefore requires the development of a new specific vaccine.

It takes some educated guesswork, which of several circulating flu viruses will attempt to kill between 4,000 and 8,000 fellow Canadians every year. Sometimes the scientists guess right and sometimes partially right, or not at all, but in sum total, the vaccine will protect somewhere near 70 per cent of those who had the good sense to avail themselves of a little poke in the arm, with little or no side effects and in the process helping to prevent many unnecessary deaths.

I find it surprising that many of my colleagues and other health care personnel refuse to be vaccinated against the flu. They come up with as many silly excuses as a hard-core smoker will tell you why he or she cannot quit. I say poppycock. Let them get the flu, preferably a real bad one, but then have the decency to stay away from looking after patients and infecting them.

Interesting that administration and the ministry are finally saying what the teachers have been saying for 20 years. Remember our arguments about the FSAs and high stakes testing? Remember the constant roadblocks put in the way of teachers for the last 10 or 12 years? Is this a sign that teachers can finally do what they have always known to be best for kids?

A sensible guideline Terwiel from p6

Would you want to have a doctor or nurse with a case of the flu attend to you when you are sick and vulnerable in a hospital bed? I for one would tell them to get lost and they should be suspended for unprofessional behaviour. After all the ground rule for physicians is: do no harm when treating a patient. Refusing to take reasonable precautions to protect patients goes directly against that sensible guideline.

Editor, The News: I am so disappointed with the Conservative government about its stance of paying a small lump sum to our soldiers that have served overseas and have come back wounded for life while serving our great country Canada.

They should have a pension for life, unlike our politicians who line up at the trough, serving two terms.

I haven’t heard of any of them being killed or maimed in the line of duty.

Now to add fuel to the fire

we here that the George Derby Centre for Veterans is cutting 90 jobs and contracting out services – we all know the unfortunate results this will create.

They have said this will save a million bucks.

My God, Prime Minister Stephen Harper spent more than that this week alone flying over his motorcade to India.

I will be out in force this Remembrance Day to honor and serve our veterans.

You and your Conservative

In the end, we all pay Editor, The News: Re: Caring Place is staying put (The News, Nov. 7).

All this talk over the problems created by the Caring Place needs to be turned around to find positive systems to help eliminate the situation and reduce people’s need of this type of assistance.

The Caring Place is a result of the B.C. Government’s

steady decline in helping people in this socioeconomic and or mental state.

The provincial government needs to reinstate the institutes and group homes it has dismantled and no longer funds.

It also has to provide more constructive solutions and financial support to help people get back to work.

The scope of this endeavour

party should remain far and away, at the back of the line, where you belong.

Jim Harrington Maple Ridge

Editor, The News: Thank you, Economy Cottage – the hospital auxiliary thrift store – for its Remembrance Day display.

While all other stores were setting out Christmas stuff to hurry us into mass consumerism, the Economy Cottage set

up a commemorative display to slow us down and to take the time to remember those who gave of themselves and their lives and to those who are still giving for this freedom we so take for granted.

It would be community changing if all stores could just take the first two weeks of November to remember and celebrate our freedoms here in Canada and be grateful to those who fought for and fight for this freedom.

S. Shea Maple Ridge

is far greater than what the Caring Place could or should be responsible for and its role could be to complement a provincial system.

We pay in the end for the problems brought about by inaction, so we may as well pay to have a positive effect on the situation.

With that comes some sort of control and, heaven forbid, responsibility for those who need the help and weed out those who simply abuse the generosity.

If we can reduce the de-

mand for such services as those provided by the Caring Place, we could separate the criminals from the innocent.

This isn’t about handouts for free, it’s about providing a channel for those who want and deserve a hand, and it can’t be a profit-centred commercial endeavor.

This needs to have a provincial mandate and, as such, give cities the guidelines they need to address the requirements in future planning.

Michael Hale, with Pipe Up Network, a Chilliwack based group, said he was “unbelievably shocked” when he heard that bitumen oil from oil sands was running beneath his property.

The existing pipeline currently runs through Walnut Grove in Langley, an area that has developed heavily since the pipeline was built in 1953, he pointed out.

He predicted that exporting oil will cause

inflation and said B.C. needs an energy strategy.

“With government support, Canada could be a leader in clean energy.”

For Sven Biggs, with Tanker Free B.C., it’s “erroneous” to call the project a twinning of the pipeline because capacity will more than double to 750,000 barrels a day, and could even reach 1.9 million barrels.

“The new pipeline that they’re proposing will be entirely for export.”

As he surveys the pile of his belongings, George Wolfe remains oddly optimistic.

“This is not the end of the world,” he says with a smile. “This will pass.

It’s only stuff.”

The stuff – 125 oil paintings, two mattresses, a book shelf, bicycle, an electric organ, lamp shades, a fishing net and over a dozen boxes – lie on the lawn in front of the townhouse in Mayo Place, where he lived for 17 years.

Wolfe was evicted from his home Tuesday after a dispute with his landlord.

The 64-year-old and his son are now living at the Salvation Army’s Caring Place. Their grey tabby cat Cody is being cared for at Katie’s Place.

Laid-off from his job in May, Wolfe has survived on a pension and Employment Insurance since then. He hopes to find a place to live by the end of the week, but has nowhere to store his possessions until he finds a new home.

“I’ve worked since I was 16.

This shouldn’t be happening.”

George wolfe “I’ve worked since I was 16,” said Wolfe.

“This shouldn’t be happening.”

A kind neighbour stored a few valuables in his trailer, but the rest of Wolfe’s stuff remains strewn across a lawn in the townhouse complex.

Wolfe has also been offering the possessions to people for free.

“This could happen to anybody,” he says.

The reduction isn’t prompted by a cut in funding, but a drop in demand.

“Because of the numbers over the years, we’ve

actually felt the need to reduce the beds we would need this year,” said executive director Darrell Pilgrim.

“We’ve always offered 30 beds, but very rarely do we go up over 20 beds needed every night.”

Pilgrim said it’s difficult to pinpoint why demand has dropped since the people who use the Sally Ann’s services are transient.

“We do want to believe it is because people have found appropriate housing,” he said.

“It’s great to see. There is still demand and need,

ight in the middle of town sits a small piece of land, Memorial Peace Park. It is often known as the place with the big gazebo, where local bands play and high school bands perform; it is sometimes referred Melissa Wing to as that random patch of green space in one of the busiest parts of town; or possibly the place of the blue water fountains that borders an entrance triggers your memory.

Many things grab your attention towards this space, but there’s one that’s forgotten yearly, its importance lost in the world we’ve grown.

People go about their business and walk by it every day, not giving it a second thought.

The black letters etched permanently on its surface become a blur to the eye of the passerby.

The cenotaph’s importance is dominant, yet it somehow feels invisible for the better part of each year.

Only when the leaves start to fall and the poppies and wreaths collecting at its base give it life, do we gather as a community, and as a nation, on the morning of Remembrance Day to honour those we lost for a cost we try to understand.

There’s a parade filled with emergency serviceman and woman, veterans, Girl Guides and Boy Scouts. People crowd around with gloves and umbrellas for one morning. There is a call for silence as the planes pass over-

head and the gunfire sounds. Then it’s over and we all go about our days. And as the poppies blow away and the wreaths dry up, the cenotaph returns to a state of invisibility; a cold stone in the middle of Peace Park, its black letters unread by those passing by.

Stop and look on any day you pass; read those letters that form the names: John Donald McPherson, Ross Fraser Steele, Hugh Scott Davie, and others gave us peace. They are who died for our freedom, the ones we honour.

We owe them more than half a day. Even a minute more to acknowledge their name would seem a decent request to me, given their unimaginable sacrifice.

We’re growing into a patterned town where Remembrance Day is just a day off work, a day off school, and that it’s the only day we need to care.

‘Lest we Forget’ is what we say, though we truly do forget for roughly 360 days of the year.

But there is a reason we can now call ourselves “the true north strong and free.”

I challenge you, today and every day, to remember. Bring your family to the cenotaph, teach our children of this community to understand and appreciate the sacrifice that was given years ago so they can be here today, by simply reading just one name on that marble cross, and understanding what they gave.

As a community, as a country, we hold the potential to honestly say, “We Will Never Forget Them.”

Warning about alcohol and pregnancy

Quality living at greystone Manor

District bylaw orders restaurants, bars to post signs

by Phil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

call us about our trial stays

Here is what our residents are saying...

Q) What is the best part of living at greystone Manor? a) There are too many things to list them all. The staff are wonderful there is nothing too big or too small for the staff to do for us, when I hurt my back someone would come to take Tuxey out for me. Of course the washer and dryer in your suite, the air-conditioning and the fantastic meals are also wonderful things about living here. When I came for a tour I felt like I was on a cruise I have never lost that feeling in 4 years.

Q) Did you have any concerns about making the move to greystone? a) Never have I had any concerns or have I regretted my decision to move here. You don’t lose your lifestyle, you can be as busy or as relaxed as you want. If I had stayed at home I would have been so lonely, here we are like one big family.

Q) What advice would you give a senior or their family members when they are looking to make a move to a building like greystone Manor? a) I would have them understand that you do not lose your independence you gain more independence because you are not tied down to housework or making repairs in your home.

Q) What is your favorite activity? a) My favorite activity is running the resident store, I get to visit with everyone, after that it’s bingo, cards and all of the bus outings.

The district wants to do its part to get out the message, if you’re expecting and drinking – there is no safe limit.

So part of its new business licence bylaw requires bars, restaurants and U-brew stores to post signs reminding people of the above and the dangers of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.

“No Safe Time. No Safe Amount,” the signs will say.

“I’m here,” it will say written across a woman’s pregnant tummy.

“Apparently, we’re the first to actually build it into the [business licence] bylaw,” said Coun. Cheryl Ashlie.

Instead of a standalone regulation requiring prenatal alcohol exposure signs, as Maple Ridge previously had, putting the rules into the business licence bylaw will make

The warning message: “No safe amount.” them easier to enforce.

“It’s a chronic issue.

It’s still quite prevalent in our society yet,” Ashlie added.

The intent to get out the message so people become aware of the risks of boozing it up while they may be in the early stages of an unplanned pregnancy.

The change came out of the subcommittee

of Maple Ridge’s substances issues and prevention committee.

The signs will be on the district’s website so restaurant or bar operators can download and print them, although initially some signs will be provided free.

Ashlie said she’s concerned about the recent trends towards binge drinking by youth.

“We have a culture that’s based on over consumption to some degree.”

Any drug can damage an unborn baby, but alcohol causes more long-lasting damage to a baby than even hard street drugs, said Allison Pooley, program director at The Asante Centre.

She feels alcohol’s solubility could be the reason it’s more harmful to developing cells.

“I think we, as a society, don’t recognize the dangers of alcohol, specifically in pregnancy.”

Pooley said one effect of drinking while pregnant that’s encountered in the clinics is something that’s impossible to calculate. It’s called “blunting” and just means that a person can’t attain what he or she may have been able to do if they hadn’t been exposed to alcohol.

“How can you measure loss of potential?”

The bylaw will only apply to restaurants or bars, but not liquor stores, which is provincial jurisdiction.

Pooley says the government has done a lot but, “Every campaign has a shelf life.

“We need to be coming up with new campaigns.”

We’re proud to be recognized as one of Canada’s 50 Best Employers – and prouder still of our more than 400 passionate and dedicated employees who share in this recognition. It’s a reflection of a goal shared by both our staff and our customers – to achieve better balance, both financially and in life.

The Ministry of Children and Family Development announced on Sept. 9, FASD Prevention and Support Day, online tools to increase awareness.

Pooley also would like to see FASD awareness taught in schools.

“We know the cause of FASD. We know it’s preventable.

“Any time in the pregnancy that alcohol is used, it may cause harm.”

But simply focusing on prevention, also ignores all the reasons why people drink, she added. Support is needed for women who are pregnant and could be drinking. Many times the pregnancies are unplanned and women are in situations beyond their control.

The program officially launches 11 a.m. Nov. 20, at the Greg Moore Youth Centre.

Anniversary of a father’s death

L

ast weekend was the first anniversary of my dad’s passing.

Like all anniversaries, it offers a point in time for reflection, but birthdays and wedding anniversaries seem, understandably, a lot more upbeat. It’s easy to call someone on a birthday and add to the celebration.

When a loved one dies, there is a series of stages that most As we age people go through, often depending on the circumstances of Graham Hookey the death. The usual first stage is denial, a function of shock that tries to block out reality and replace it with a feeling that there’s a mistake, or this is a dream and it will go away. This is particularly common when deaths are accidental or sudden.

The second stage is generally one of anger. As it becomes clear that the pain is not a dream or a mistake, emotions switch to a mode of, ‘How could this have happened,’ with plenty of ruminations about who is to blame. In some cases, where the death was, in fact, caused by another person, through an accident, negligence, incompetence or intention, the legal system is often the outlet for that anger. From criminal charges to lawsuits, the courts deal with a lot of grief counseling or vengeance.

The third stage is often a sense of helplessness brought about by guilt. Could I have done something different? Is this a punishment for something I’ve done in my life? People are often very vulnerable during this stage and can be taken advantage of by those who recognize their grieving and will help them bargain for redemption. Unscrupulous religious or charitable promoters can often use this stage to gain benefit.

In the fourth stage, there is a darkness that descends when, at last, it is clear that there is no turning back the clock and things will never be the same again. It can be a time when the loss can seem so great that the mourning is all-consuming. While there are elements of our natural personality that can contribute to the depth and length of such a depression, it is unlikely that it will be a stage that can be completely avoided.

I’m not sure anyone ever gets over the loss of a loved one completely.

And the final stage is that of acceptance, when thoughts no longer revolve around what was and what is, but begin to focus on what can be. Life begins to go on again and conversations and plans centre on the blessings of today and the opportunities of tomorrow.

There is no absolute time frame on these stages, nor even an assurance that all stages will be part of any individual’s grieving process. We all respond differently and at our own pace.

Thanks, Maple Ridge, for new paths M

etro Vancouver is doing some major work in Maple Ridge, constructing new water mains from the pump station in the southeast corner of Meadow Gardens Golf Course, just north of Lougheed Highway by the mall.

As well, a multi-use path will be built on the south side of 128th Avenue, from 210th to 224th streets.

The district has just completed paving a multi-use path on the north side of 128th Avenue/Abernethy Way between 224th and 232nd streets.

It looks awesome.

Thank you, Maple Ridge council.

This will be a good, much needed, and definitely safer east-west route for cyclists.

This notoriously dangerous route has, until now, only been used by the most fearless cyclist commuters, to the chagrin of many motorists.

Some of these cyclists may very well continue to use the road once the multi-use path is complete, since they feel they belong on the road rather than on a path that they have to share with people walking their dogs, horses, moms with strollers and the rest of us cycling mortals.

Another project the district is presently working on is a “multiuse sidewalk” along 122nd Avenue and Mountainview Crescent, to improve safety of local residents and students of Maple Ridge secondary, and to encourage more students to walk and bike to school.

There isn’t sufficient right of way to provide separated bike lanes as well as sidewalks, and

it was felt that cycling students might feel safer sharing the sidewalk with those walking to school than on the road, especially during school dropoff and pick-up times.

Recently, a UBC study on “Bicyclists’ Injuries and the Cycling Environment” was published in the American Journal of Health. This study examined which types of infrastructure were associated with higher or lower cyclist injury risk.

It was interesting that the study found that, whereas people’s preferences and safety of certain types of cycling infrastructure, most agree multi-use paths are preferred by cyclists, but, along with major city streets with parked cars and no bike lanes, and also sidewalks, they actually pose the highest risk for cyclists of all the types of infrastructure that were studied.

Generally, bike specific infrastructure – such as bike lanes, off-road bike paths, designated bike routes on quieter local streets – was found to significantly improve safety for cyclists.

The study found that injury risk for cyclists decreased 90 per cent on protected, or separated bike lanes, also called cycle tracks, compared to a major street with parking.

Cycling on sidewalks can cause drivers, when they make a turn, to not notice cyclists, especially when they cycle on the ‘wrong’ side of the road.

Since cyclists are allowed to travel in either direction on sidewalks on both sides of the road on 122nd Ave, this will require both drivers and cyclists to pay extra attention.

Part of the project is painted pedestrian/cy-

clist crossings (called ‘elephant tracks’). Hopefully this will help to prevent problems.

I suggest to parents and teachers to remind kids to cross with caution when Cycling cycling on Jackie Chow the multi-use sidewalk, especially when on the wrong side of the road. Drivers, of course, need to learn to look for cyclists coming from both directions on the sidewalk.

The Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Bikeways Plan was put together about 20 years ago, and it is based on a kind of thinking that has led to the low numbers of cyclists we see on the roads these days, namely that of “vehicular cycling.” Cyclists were thought to always be safer sharing the road with cars than riding on separated infrastructure.

The BICE study shows that planners should mostly have listened to our gut feeling all along.

Both municipalities have decided to go it alone now.

I’m hoping that this study will be consulted by city engineers and consultants for both Maple Ridge’s updated Transportation Plan and for Pitt Meadows’ Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan.

I also hope that the Maple Ridge Transportation Plan update will include a review of the cycling plan for the town core. Now that much densification is happening there, it’s making more sense all the time to improve cycle-friendliness of the area.

Have the lines that were drawn on the town core multi-modal transportation map seven or eight years ago led to an increase in cycling?

I don’t think so. Few cyclists know of this map or are even where they are supposed to bike in the town core.

A reasonable sacrifice to make for others Cycling from p19

The east-west routes, along Selkirk and Brown avenues, and 116th Avenue south of Lougheed Hwy. help cyclists avoid the highway and Dewdney Trunk Road – the flattest routes and the streets where most of the shops, restaurants and other destinations are – which is where they would actually want to go.

I understand that we can’t expect to get bike lanes everywhere instantaneously, but we need to allow cyclists – eventually of all ages and abilities – access to their destinations that is equally comfortable, convenient and safe for them as it is for cars, without having to seek refuge on the sidewalks.

Part of the district’s long-term plans for densification is to aim for 40 to 60 per cent of trips

within the town core to be by other modes than by single passenger vehicle.

A good, and cheap, first step: lower speed limits to 30 km/h in all of the town core.

According to my calculations, driving from 222nd Street to 116th Ave. along Lougheed will take less than a minute longer if driving at 30 km/h instead of 50 km/h.

Quite a reasonable sacrifice to ask from drivers to make not only cycling safer; it will increase pedestrian safety, and it will make the town core a lot more pleasant to be for everyone who’s not in a car.

MAPLE RIDGE • PITT MEADOWS

Just a few of my new favourite plants I

went scuba diving at Whytecliff Park last Monday with my two oldest daughters.

We haven’t got our dry suit certification yet, so that meant a frigid wet dive, and I Gardening spent most of Mike Lascelle the week prior dreading the thought.

But as Monday rolled around, it turned out to be a picture perfect day – clear skies, calm waters and even pretty good visibility. In fact it was so ideal that I didn’t even seem to mind the cold and I left wishing we had spent a little more time underwater.

Apparently I am just as fickle when it comes to my plant preferences, as my taste in gardens seems to change with every species I encounter – which, in my case, is quite a few of them.

So I thought I would give you a candid insight on my current favourites.

• Shrub – Drimys lanceolata is a rather obscure climbing evergreen shrub and the reason most people aren’t familiar with it is because it is only Zone 8 hardy and requires a sheltered site. Where it really comes

into its own is as a temporary winter planter feature, as the glossy green foliage and bright red stems seem to scream ‘Season’s Greetings’ as you walk by. You can also expect clusters of fragrant white flowers in spring.

• Tree – Okay, I’ll admit that Katsura Tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum) is an old favourite of mine, but the reason it still qualifies as my

new favourite tree is because I fall in love with it again every autumn.

Surprisingly, it is not the spectacular fall tones (yellow to reddish-orange) or the ease of care and disease resistance that garners my attention – no, it’s something much more primal than that. They say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but unless it smells good, he is never

going to taste it. Which is how the Katsura Tree captures my heart – it emits the mouth-watering scent of caramel corn as the leaves drop, and I was always a sucker for Cracker Jack when I was a kid.

• Annual or summer flower – When it comes to annuals, I get a bit tired of bigger and better flowers, or new and improved colours. Person-

ally, I am more of a foliage man, and given the choice, I’d take a Coleus over a Geranium any day. So when Proven Winners decided to distribute Persian Shield (Strobilanthes dyerianus) this past summer, I couldn’t wait to find a spot for the metallic violet-purple foliage. This native of Myanmar (Burma) prefers partial shade and can be overwintered as a houseplant.

• Vine – Clematis are nice in bloom, but rather fleeting. Honeysuckle are often fragrant, but disease prone in our wet springs. And Boston Ivy just looks like a dead twig in winter.

But there is a variegated Climbing Hydrangea called ‘Miranda’ that has white lacecap blooms in late spring, attractive heart-shaped foliage with bright gold margins for the rest of the growing season, and even when the leaves drop, it has beautiful reddish-brown stems.

• Fruit or vegetable – It took just one good apple pie to make Malus ‘Wolf River’ my current favourite fruit, which tells you that my heart must truly lie in my stomach.

Mike Lascelle is a local nursery manager and gardening author (hebe_acer@hotmail.com).

Onni commissions study from Urban Analytics

Adding value near rapid transit The availability of rapid transit is one of the most important things that buyers are looking for in a home development in recent years, and a report by Urban Analytics for Onni has demonstrated the increase in value that comes with this convenience.

“Transit plays a big factor in the market,” says Nick Belmar of Onni.

“This report just substantiates our argument about what people could expect when they buy near transit.”

The report notes that new condos located along the Canada Line in Richmond and the Cambie corridor saw an increase in value, with Richmond seeing an increase of 21

per cent and Cambie finding a 33 per cent rise between 2009 and 2010. In Richmond, values increased by 15 per cent before the line was completed, and then six per cent over its first year.

Cambie saw similar results, with a 19 per cent increase before the line opened and a continued rise after.

“Values of newer condos located near a new rapid transit line will see an increase in value in the period ... preceding the completion of a rapid transit system, and ... while the rate of value appreciation tends to slow in the months after ... completion, higher values are sustained in the long term,” says Urban Analytics’ Michael Ferreira.

developers recognize this area as a hot spot.” Carlsen says. “Buyers want to live here.”

It’s no wonder, with Willowbrook Shopping Centre just a five minute walk away, and schools, recreation, dining and shopping all in the neighbourhood.

The area is incredibly family friendly, but it also works well for first-time buyers and downsizers alike.

Owners will be able to take possession of their new place at the

end of 2013. Over 50 per cent of the 69 homes are already sold, and Carlsen attributes this to three very important factors.

“This is a fantastic product at a fantastic price in an unbeatable location,” he says. “I really think it comes down to value.”

Two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes at Salix start at $229,900. For more information, visit www.salixliving.com or call 604-530-0054.

‘It’s really worked out well’

Salix offers great value in Surrey’s Clayton Heights

By Kerry Vital

Woodbridge Homes is bringing a touch of modern elegance to Surrey’s Clayton Heights neighbourhood with its condominium development, Salix.

That elegance starts outside your home, with the five-storey building’s classic Georgian-inspired architecture.

Red brick and styled ironwork combine with the craftsman woodwork accents to make for a chic entrance. Salix is surrounded by lush greenery, and includes a courtyard for residents with arbors and benches.

“

This is a fantastic product at a fantastic price in an unbeatable location,” says sales manager Rob Carlsen.

Inside, buyers have three different interior design schemes to choose from: two contemporary and one traditional. The contemporary schemes (called Sallow and Osier) feature stone countertops and chic white satin flat panel upper cabinets and Teak or Wenge laminate flat panel lower cabinets, complemented by a modern stainless-steel feature hood fan and a ceramic tile backsplash with glass tile accents in the kitchen. Meanwhile, the traditional scheme (called Willow) includes elegant granite countertops and Victorian cabinetry in a dark wood, with its own custom Broan hood fan and tumbled limestone backsplash with a custom hand-set centrepiece.

Both options are beautiful, so it’s up to you what style you want in your home.

“This allows purchasers to pick and choose,” says Carlsen. “It’s really worked out well.”

All three options feature stainlesssteel appliances and under-cabinet lighting, along with spacious bathrooms with walk-in showers surrounded by ceramic tile and well-lit large vanity mirrors, so your morning routine will be easy as possible.

There are 15 different floorplans available, ranging from 474 to 1,290 square feet in a variety of one-, twoand three-bedroom configurations, and all have proven popular with buyers, Carlsen says.

“The larger ones have done really well with downsizers. They don’t need a

big house anymore, but they still want space,” he says.

Nine-foot ceilings are included throughout, with 10-foot ceilings on the top and bottom floors. Laminate flooring is featured in the main living areas, while comfortable trackless nylon carpeting in the bedrooms is great to sink your toes into first thing in the morning or late at night. Oversize windows let the natural light flood your home no matter what the weather is doing outside. If you’re in the mood for a bit of outdoor living, every condo at Salix has a private balcony or patio.

One thing that Carlsen is particularly excited about at Salix is the storage space that comes with each residence.

Located in your parking stall, the fourfoot by eight-foot space with its solid metal roll-down door could really be called a mini-garage.

“It’s safe, secure and convenient,” says Carlsen. “It’s been huge with buyers.”

The Clayton Heights area has seen a boom in new home projects recently.

“I think it speaks to the fact that

Homes at Salix include a private storage space for each unit, top, that serves as a mini-garage. The spacious floorplans include plenty of natural light and opulent master suites, above.

The 9-Month GIC at % 1.60

Kim Feeney, electrician.

‘Everything fell into place’ W

hen it came to finding a career she loved, B.C. electrician Kim Feeney says her dad helped her see the light.

“One day he turned to me and said, ‘ever since you were a little girl, I’ve seen the spark in you, the fire. You should be an electrician.’”

At first she ignored the advice. “At 14 I was like, ‘I don’t want to get shocked with 1,000 volts. Forget that.”

Despite being the first woman to win Maple Ridge secondary’s Senior Technology Education Award for excellence in Metal Art, Drafting, Woodworking and Mechanics, Feeney decided to go to university to study the humanities.

“I got a degree double majoring in English and sociology, and at the end, I didn’t want to teach. I didn’t know where I wanted to go. Again my dad said I’d make a good electrician. I thought, ‘Yeah, I can do that. Let’s give it a try.’ Everything just fell into place.”

In 2001, Feeney enrolled in the four-year Red Seal Electrician Apprenticeship Program at BCIT that combines classes on subjects like math and physics with real life, hands-on experience. In 2006, she got her electrician ticket and never looked back. Today, she’s a proud member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 213 in Vancouver. Kim is now a shop steward and never misses an opportunity to step up to project foreman.

Feeney is grateful that her dad, a pipefitter and longtime tradesperson, never stopped encouraging her to pursue a career in the trades. She wants to extend that encouragement to others who may not have considered the trades, especially to women, who tend not to imagine themselves as tradespersons.

“In my section there are about 2,500 members. Nine per cent are women. We’re making ourselves known, but there’s no reason why there aren’t more of us.” Kim says whether you’re a man or women, never forget that the trades require as much mental and people skills as a they do physical skills.

“Problem solving and customer service are key,” she says. “You have to find the balance between understanding client needs and giving them what they want without compromising. It’s a learning game.”

Maple Ridge blueliner has two goals in eight games as a sophomore with St. Cloud State

by Ro b er t M a n g e ls d or f staff reporter

It’s a long way from Maple Ridge, B.C., to St. Cloud, Minnesota, but for Tim Daly, there’s always something to remind him of home.

The former Langley Chief and Ridge Meadows Flame is in his sophomore season with the St. Cloud State University’s NCAA Division 2 Huskies hockey team.

Daly grew up a two-minute walk from Planet Ice Maple Ridge, and graduated from Samuel Robertson Technical Secondary School.

But the local blueliner need only look to his teammates should he get homesick.

The Huskies have a distinct B.C. flavour with four players - Garrett Milan, David Morley, Joey Holka, and Daly - all having played in the B.C. Hockey League.

And as Daly has found out, the move up from Junior A to the NCAA can be a difficult transition.

“It’s a lot different. It’s quite a step up in the caliber of players and the quality of play,” he says. “Everything is so much quicker, guys are bigger and stronger.

“It’s a lot different from

junior A, that’s for sure.”

Daly admittedly struggled in his first season with Huskies, and received little ice time as a freshman blueliner. In 32 games last season, Daly managed just two assists.

“The biggest thing [Brad Hunt] told me, was not to take anything for granted.” tim Daly, defenceman St. Cloud Huskies But university is a place for learning, and university hockey is no different.

A year older and wiser, Daly is getting more ice

time and he’s making the most of it. In eight games this season, Daly already has two goals in the typically low-scoring NCAA. “I definitely felt a lot more confident coming into this year,” he says.

Daly’s goals for this season are simple, make the most of his minutes, and work his way up the roster.

Maple Ridge defenceman Brad Hunt, who spent his college career with Minnesota’s Bemidji State University and is now with the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League, has helped provide Daly with guidance during his transition into the NCAA. “I’ve known him for years and we train in the offseason together,” says Daly.

“The biggest thing he told me, was not to take anything for granted. You have to work so hard for your ice time, nothing is given to you.”

The Huskies are 5-3 overall this season, with a 3-1 record in Western Collegiate Hockey Association play.

“We have a good team with some good seniors,” he says. “We’d love to get a national championship.”

While the pace of play and tight defensive style may have taken some getting used to, the hockeymad atmosphere in Minnesota is just like home.

“It’s a lot like Canada,” he says. “The fans are unreal.

Pretty much everybody watches hockey here.” sports@mapleridgenews.com

Peewee knights finish regular season with another shutout win staff reporter

The Meadow Ridge peewee Gold Knights recorded their eighth shutout win of the season last weekend with a 12-0 victory over the Chilliwack Red Giants.

With the win, the Gold Knights finish Valley Community Football League reg-

ular season with a record of 8-2, good for second overall.

Cade Cote stood out on offense Saturday as he ran in both Knights touchdowns.

On defence, the solid play of Detroit Hambly and Jay Sachar helped keep the Red Giants off the scoreboard.

The Gold Knights face their club rivals, the Mead-

ow Ridge Blue Knights, in the first round of the VCFL peewee playoffs this Monday, Nov. 12.

The Blue Knights, meanwhile, ended their regular season campaign with a comeback 18-13 win over Mission 9ers last weekend.

After giving up a 13-point lead early in the game, the

Blue Knights defence led by linemen Chris King, Avery Fitchett, Alex Trsostheim and Tristen Parkin stopped the 9ers from putting anymore points on the board.

The Blue Knights started their come back with Brayden Hamilton scoring a pair of touchdowns, while Tyler Spencer

caught a touchdown pass from Mahlon Taylor for the other major on the day.

The win gives the Blue Knights a 7-3 record this season to finish in third place in the VCFL peewee division.

The midget Knights also finished their regular season with a win, defeating Vancouver 22-14 to finish second

in the B.C. midget league with an 8-2 record. The win was the sixth in a row for the surging midget Knights.

The junior bantams played their final game against the Chilliwack Blue Giants, losing 15-14. The junior bantam Knights finish the season 3-7, and out of the playoffs. sports@mapleridgenews.com

his time of year brings with it changes in weather, sleep patterns, activity levels and mood.

Although not present in most people, some can experience what is sometimes called winter blues or seasonal depression.

In the mid ’80s, a placebo-controlled study documented this phenomenon, which later became known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

Initially there was a fair amount of scepticism, but in the past 15 years, SAD has become an accepted condition.

People who experience this mood disorder often have normal mental health throughout most of the year, but experience depression-related symptoms during the same season year after year. It can occur in the summer or spring, but very commonly is a winter phenomenon.

Curling playoff race tightens up

The rinks of Ted Gangnes and Angelo Masaro pulled off victories to help narrow the battle for playoff spots in Haney Masters’ Curling at Golden Ears Winter Club.

Gangnes, along with third Chris Martin, second Bob Axford and lead David Christensen defeated Ed Brown’s rink

while Masaro’s rink dumped the rink of Peter Koehler 10-8 as both took victories over higher-positioned teams to tighten the play-off race.

The Brown rink, consisting of Jack Flottorp (third), Earl King (second) and Al Golsack (lead), kept the game close until the seventh end, when

Gangnes took a 6-4 lead. Gangnes then kept the sheet clean to prevent any comeback.

Masaro, although lower in the standings, used fine curling from Max Albrechtsen as well as Tony Stadig and William Ritchie to take a 10-7 lead into the final end against the Koehler four-

some. Koehler had an opportunity to tie the game but narrowly-missed on his final rock.

The upsets created a log-jam in the standings and left at least 12 teams with chances of grabbing a spot in the championship round with only two games remaining.

OBITUARIES

Mona was born in Hamiota, Manitoba and was raised on the family farm in Oak River.

She eventually moved to Winnipeg where she met her future husband Keith. They moved west in 1960 where they built their own farm in Haney. She was a true partner, helping out wherever she could, whether it was filling water jars, feeding the livestock or even doing the books.

She always kept beautiful gardens but most importantly kept up a cosy, loving household for the kids and grandchildren. Mom was always proud of her prairie roots, passing down the family history to the younger generations. She was also a lifelong Winnipeg blue bombers fan! She is survived by her devoted husband of 58 years, Keith. Son Blair and wife Karen, daughter Liza and husband Emanual, daughter Cindy and Jet. As well as her 6 grandchildren Brianne, Courtney, Curtis, Deidra, Lane and Chelsea. Thanks to all our family and friends for their support, especially nieces,Lynn, June and nephew Jack.v There will be no service at mom’s request.

IN MEMORIAM In Loving Memory of Colleen Findlay Sept 30, 1963 – Nov 12, 2002

It has been 10 years now.

Become a Psychiatric Nurse in your own community There is an urgent need for more Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPN), particularly outside the urban areas of the province. And with the workforce aging – the average age of a Registered Psychiatric Nurse in BC is 47 years – the number of retirees from the profession is exceeding the number of graduates. Entry-level earnings start at $30.79/hour to $40.42/hour.
