Feces, nails part of park vandalism Enviro principal worried for others using Allco Park

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

Vandalism at Allco Park has gone from disgusting to dangerous.

Students of the Environmental School Project have been using the park, at 248th Street and Alouette Road, for the past two weeks.

They recently arrived to find someone had put horse manure on

The nails were placed pointing up.

the picnic tables. Then the horse manure was found on the handles of the metal bear-proof garbage cans.

The toilet seat covers were glued

into a down position. Next, dog feces was found on the handles of the garbage cans.

“That’s filthy, and you wonder why people are doing this,” said principal Clayton Maitland.

After two flat tires, one on the trailer he hauls for the program and another on a staff member’s vehicle, they scanned the area for nails – which they had found in the tires.

They didn’t find nails spilled on the ground.

“They were intentionally put in with the sharp ends up, and covered with leaves,” Maitland observed.

The nails were on a roadway that

runs along the Alouette River.

At that point, Maitland made police aware of the ongoing issues, and wanted to inform users of the park, which has popular horse riding trails.

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Maitland.

He said the 80 students in the Environmental school have been disappointed by the vandalism in the parks where they are attending school.

Maitland said he is worried for people walking their dogs or riding horses in the area. see Park, p11

A teen who was struck by a police cruiser early Saturday in Maple Ridge remains in hospital.

The 17-year-old was hit around 12:30 a.m. while crossing Lougheed Highway, just east of 216th Street.

He was seriously injured in the crash, according to B.C.’s Independent Investigations Office.

Owen Court, spokesperson, said the police car did not have its lights and sirens activated at the time of the accident.

“They were not driving at Code 3, which means they did not have their emergency equipment on,” he added.

Court did not know if the officers involved were responding to a call or were on routine patrol when the teen was struck.

According to the RCMP, two Ridge Meadows officers were traveling east on Lougheed Hwy. in separate cars when they saw the boy.

The first RCMP cruiser passed the teen, but he was struck by the second vehicle.

Court said it is too early in the investigation to determine whether the teen was intoxicated.

Pitt council pans park fee hikes Council says rates charged are unaffordable

by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

A request to hike parks fees by 10 per cent and charge non-profit groups a fee to use facilities was denied by Pitt Meadows council.

Parks staff sought the changes after determining fees for parks and recreational facilities in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows were below the regional average.

Both Maple Ridge council and the Parks and Leisure Commission endorsed the fee increases, but the hikes were rejected by Pitt Meadows at last week’s committee meeting.

“I think we should be for the community,” said Coun. Tracy Miyashita, relating how she found it was cheaper to book an event at a private golf course.

Instead of charging 16 different fees, the parks department has condensed them to five. For the first time, however, local non-profit groups will be charged a fee for renting meeting rooms.

For the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre, staff are recommending five per cent increase. If approved, the youth or senior rate will increase from $3.71 to $3.90 and family rate from $9.94 to $10.44.

For the Pitt Meadows recreation centre, staff have recommended a five per cent increase in the child rate and a 10 per cent increase for youth and seniors.

If approved, the child rate will increase from $2.48 to $2.61 and the youth or senior fee from $3.20 to $3.52.

In a report to council, parks department business manager Danielle Pope

Contributed

The rental rate for the South Bonson Community Centre is $126 per hour. noted that although 10 per cent may seem aggressive, the rates will continue to remain below the current regional average.

Pope added that staff will most likely bring back a similar rate increase next year to catch up with fees charged by other municipalities.

If the fee increases are adopted for 2014, admission revenue will increase by a projected $17,000, and rental revenue will go up by $20,000. Over three years, $8,000 of the projected revenue will come from non-profit groups.

The prospect of continued fee hikes

didn’t sit well with Pitt Meadows council, which believes the current rates are too high.

“We need to start showing why the costs are so high,” said Coun. Gwen O’Connell, who was shocked that the rental rate for the South Bonson Community Centre is $126 per hour.

“At the end of the day, these are our residents who are paying the bills.”

Mayor Deb Walters wants the parks department to find other ways to fund the programs and facilities it runs.

“We can’t just keep raising the rates,” Walters added.

Since the fee increases were rejected

by Pitt Meadows council, parks and leisure services staff will have to return with another pitch.

“Council indicated that they would like to ensure that the proposed new rates for halls and meeting rooms are not only competitive in the market place, but that they are also affordable for Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows citizens to enjoy them,” said director of parks and facilities David Boag.

Parks staff will return to council at a later date with a comparison of rates charged by private facilities.

Pitt Meadows dikes to become off-leash areas staff reporter

Dog owners will soon be able to walk their pets off leash on a long stretch of in Pitt Meadows dikes.

At a committee meeting June 11, council approved a 5.8-kilometre section of trails stretching from the Pitt River Bridge to the north end of Harris Road as an off-leash area.

Director of parks and facilities David Boag told council staff patrolled the dikes from 216th Street in Maple Ridge to the Pitt River Bridge and have determined allowing dogs to run free will have a minimal impact on other trail users.

Council supported adding the offleash areas, but have directed staff to educate dog owners, add more garbage cans and signs. Council also requested that staff provide an update

on the success of the two off-leash areas in one year.

“The addition of designated off leash areas on the dike trails will provide dog owners with legitimate access to one of the most desirable dog walking experiences,” said Boag in his report to council.

Staff believe it will also keep dogs out of children’s playgrounds and parks.

Council was set to formally endorse the new off-leash areas at its regular meeting on Tuesday.

Fill site approved Pitt Meadows has approved an application by a developer to truck fill to a site where homes will be built.

The Onni Group of Companies

needs to raise the 4.6 hectare (11.4 acre) property at 19451 Sutton Avenue to meet the city’s requirements for building in the flood plain.

Onni estimates it needs 18,859 loads to fill the site, with work expected to be complete in one year.

Over a year, there will be 37,718 truck trips to and from the site or 290 trips per day.

Council approved the application at its committee meeting last week and was scheduled to formally endorse it at a regular meeting Tuesday.

Fill will be truck to the site via Airport Way and the city will receive $4 for each truck load.

The road will be swept daily and trucks will be only be allowed to access the site between 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday.

Nickel and diming on bridge tolls staff reporter

Golden Ears Bridge users will pay an additional nickel per crossing in their cars and small trucks, or a dime more in large trucks, starting next month.

TransLink spokesman Derek Zabel said the modest increase will add up to $400,000 in additional revenue.

Customers have three tolling options for the Golden Ears Bridge.

They can have a transponder (or TReO decal) installed in the vehicle, video registration, in which license plates are registered and photographed each time the vehicle crosses the bridge, or “payas-you-go,” in which unregistered license plates are photographed, then tracked.

Starting July 15, the transponder rate will go from $2.95 to $3 for cars, $5.95 to $6 for small trucks, and $8.85 to $8.95 for large trucks.

The rate for video-registered vehicles will go from $3.50 to $3.55 for cars, $6.50 to $6.55 for small trucks, $9.50 to $9.60 for large trucks, and registered motorcycles will stay at $1.50.

The pay-as-you-go rate will rise from $4.20 to $4.25 for cars, $7.10 to $7.15 for small trucks, $10.05 to $10.15 for large trucks and $2.70 to $2.75 for motorcycles.

Zabel said TransLink will bring in annual toll rate increases of five to 20 cents, based on the consumer price index. This year’s hike amounts to an increase of just over one per cent.

Fee increases will make a comparatively small difference in the amount of revenue, but more bridge users accounts for a significant jump, said Zabel.

Usage was up 10 per cent over 2012, with 10.8 million crossings, generating an additional $1.6 million.

Through the first quarter of 2013, the number of trips was up another four per cent, at about 2.5 million crossings so far.

The tolls pay for building, operating and maintaining the bridge.

The revenue the toll bridge has generated is well under forecasts, by an estimated $38 million over three years.

But Zabel said the number of trips will continue to increase as the region grows, and other routes become increasingly congested.

“People start to recognize it’s a better option for them,” said Zabel.

“It’s built to last 100 years, and usership will continue to grow.”

Two Maple Ridge men and one from Pitt Meadows who destroyed cars during the 2011 Stanley Cup riot are among 46 people being sued by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia.

The civil suit, filed June 13, seeks to recoup more than $526,000 in insured losses to 77 damaged or destroyed vehicles.

“ICBC has a responsibility to protect our customers’ premium dollars and is taking legal action to recover the costs of these acts of vandalism to ensure they are not passed on to our customers,” said the auto insurer said in a statement.

The civil court claim was filed two years after a riot rampaged through downtown Vancouver following the Canucks’ Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins.

Besides looting businesses, rioters flipped and torched numerous vehicles.

Andrew Cuthbert and Jordan Houde from Maple Ridge have already been convicted and sentenced for their role in the

riot but will now have to face provincially owned insurance company in civil court.

Cuthbert, who received a 90 day prison sentence in April, is accused of helping to destroy a 2007 black Hummer. ICBC has already paid out $39,693 for the Hummer H2.

In February, Houde received a five-month conditional sentence and 12 months probation for his role in the riot. He is accused of destroying a Mini Cooper, for which the insurance payout was $27,346.

Matthew Schulz, a former Burnaby resident who now lives in Pitt Meadows, is accused of destroying a green GMC. He pleaded guilty last November to rioting and stealing a light bar off a police cruiser. Schulz received a 12-month conditional sentence followed by 12 months of probation.

Others named in the law suit come from across the Lower Mainland and all over B.C., from as far away as Nelson, Windermere, Prince George and Tofino.

The claim names Jane Doe or John Doe in some cases where accused riot-

ers have charges pending or may be identified at a later date.

More than 120 vehicles were damaged during the riot, including 24 emergency vehicles.

The losses range from small amounts for scratches or broken mirrors to total write-offs.

The largest single damage claim is $61,000 for

a 2006 Bentley that was trashed and torched by rioters.

In the past two years, police have recommended 1086 criminal charges against 325 suspected rioters. Police expect to charge 25 additional people in the coming months.

So far more than 100 rioters have been convicted and sentenced.

Crosswalk discussed in past Teen from front

As of Monday, the teen was reported to be in stable condition.

“His injuries met the definition of serious, which is why we were called in,” explained Court.

The Independent Investigations Office was created in July 2012 to investigate incidents where police cause death or serious harm.

The stretch of Lougheed Hwy. where the teen was struck has been the subject of complaints before.

A petition was started last year after a 14-yearold boy, on the way home from school, was hit by a pickup truck.

In 2010, two pedestrians were killed in two separate accidents on the same stretch.

The District of Maple Ridge said Monday that improvements to that section of highway are coming. A multi-use path will be built alongside the highway between Laity and 216th St. The province has also agreed to fund pedestrian improvements to the intersection of Laity and Lougheed as part of this project.

There is no word on whether another crosswalk will be added, however.

Lougheed Hwy. is a provincial responsibility.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Unbelievable Al Maple Ridge Coun. Al Hogarth, a realtor, wants to get rid of all the secondary suites in the highdensity subdivisions of Albion.

He blames them for the “disgusting” parking issues on the narrow streets of the developments flanking 102 Avenue, and suggests if homeowners can’t afford their mortgages without such help, they should move.

Firstly, secondary suites are not to blame for all the vehicles parked on the narrow Albion streets, approved by the council of the day and which are standard in small-lot subdivisions around the Lower Mainland. Lack of space is the culprit, for various reasons.

Secondly, illegal suites are no more of an issue in Albion than anywhere else in the community, according the district bylaws department.

So why is Hogarth taking aim at Albion?

Was he on council when those subdivisions were approved?

Did he sell any of those homes?

If all the suspected suite renters in Albion were flushed out, where would they go?

Who knows.

But none of the properties Hogarth rents out are “disgusting.” Not like the one he managed in Port Haney that was raided by police three times in 12 months. Police arrested five people total and seized all sorts of illegal drugs from it.

But secondary suites in Albion are the real problem, all those residents parking on the streets.

Meanwhile, Hogarth thinks the district should legalize homes with two non-owner occupied suites.

That wouldn’t increase the probability of onstreet parking in any way?

On another note, council hasn’t decided if it will widen part of Brown Avenue, as Hogarth requested, and where he manages three lots that are part of a redevelopment proposal to construct a threetower condo project.

Maybe some of the poor folks in Albion will need a new place to stay.

What ails the New Democrats? Plenty VICTORIA – After 34 NDP MLAs were sworn in to continue a stretch of opposition that will reach at least 16 years, leader Adrian Dix took a few questions about his future.

The party’s provincial council will meet June 21 to set B.C. Views the terms of referTom Fletcher ence for a review of the party’s dismal election performance, Dix told reporters. He repeated that his performance won’t be spared, and ticked off some conventional wisdom about the NDP campaign.

Dix mentioned the alleged lack of “negative” ads, the local campaigns (read candidates), the decreasing reliability of polls and, when pressed, his surprise decision to come out against the proposed twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline.

Like last week’s hysteria over a tiny leak in that pipeline, these are great sound bites for the short attention spans of the modern media. But they don’t explain much.

This all-powerful NDP provincial council is a case in point. A glimpse into its inner workings was provided by a summary of an NDP policy development workshop called “Imagine Our Future” that was leaked by the B.C. Liberals in the final days of the campaign.

The workshop took place in November 2010, coincidentally at the same provincial council meeting where the revolt against former leader Carole James

tumbled into the open. While 13 caucus members were knifing their leader for reasons they still can’t or won’t articulate in public – a glaring problem in itself – the backroom policy brainstorm revealed a deeper malaise.

Among the “dream tree” notions put forward in the workshop was “free” post-secondary tuition and public transit, along with raising wages and lowering fees for daycare. This isn’t a dream tree, it’s a money tree.

Remember, this is the NDP’s ruling body, not a high school “social justice” class or an Occupy Vancouver squat.

Showing a glimmer of adult supervision, the workshop table on “equitable tax policy” even identified the problem.

Its first recommendation: “Increase our economic and financial literacy to gain credibility.”

The “public ownership” table really got radical. Scrap public-private partnerships, the basis of most government construction today. “Nationalize” independent power projects, in the Venezuelan style of state seizure of private assets. And perhaps most incredibly, tear up the trade agreement between Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. that harmonizes transport truck regulations and so forth.

In the real world, the four western premiers met this week in Winnipeg. And the three-province project now called “New West Partnership” will continue to dismantle archaic inter-provincial barriers.

Why would the NDP be secretly against that? Because it’s also a “labour mobility” agreement.

This harkens back to a supposed golden age in Canada, when two corporate titans shared the beer business, producing iden-

tical bland lager from identical factories in identical stubby bottles. Inter-provincial trade in these stubbies was strictly forbidden, requiring each province to have a big unionized brewery to make uniformly bad beer for the proletariat.

This is the power of a monopoly union.

And because of it, this was how governments tried to “create jobs.” It’s a bygone era to which many core NDP supporters stubbornly cling. This explains the party’s revival of a “job protection commissioner” for forestry.

“Inter-provincial trade in these stubbies was strictly forbidden, requiring each province to have a big unionized brewery to make uniformly bad beer for the proletariat.”

Which brings us to the proverbial root cause of the B.C. NDP’s woes. Its largest financial donor is the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which donated $1.4 million to the party in the past eight years, nosing out the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Hospital Employees’ Union.

Former HEU and BCGEU presidents now sit in the NDP caucus, critics for health and “green” jobs respectively.

The News/letters What is purpose of farmland then?

Editor, The News: Re: Destruction of Pitt Polder (Letters, June 5).

I don’t know what George Clarke is talking about – “greedy developers” stripping the land?

I would suggest that Mr. Clarke should be more specific with his comments. Yes, the land has been stripped for blueberry and cranberry fields.

And who are these developers?

Effectively, agricultural producers of berries.

Was that not the purpose of farmland use?

It sounds like all type of development has taken place.

I travel to Swan-e-Set all the time and have not seen any residential development for 20 years, or any other type of development.

But talk about the rest of north Pitt Meadows, it seems there is no end to the need of barns and large buildings, and some seem to cover very large portions of their properties. Needed for what purpose?

Talking about preserving farmland.

Legal does not make it right Editor, The News: Re: Pitt council denies MLA Bing a leave (The News, June 14).

It may well be legal for Doug Bing to remain on Pitt Meadows council while also sitting as a provincial Liberal MLA, but that does not make it right.

Anyone who does not see a perception of conflict of interest is not seeing clearly.

One would hope that, at some point, we could elect people who have at least some level of integrity.

It comes as no surprise that Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters does not want Mr. Bing to resign from council now that he is an elected MLA.

She will no longer get her own way.

In every significant council vote on issues of spending and taxation, council has split 3-3, with the mayor casting the deciding vote, which is always in favour of increasing spending, increasing her own salary every year, and increasing taxation to pay for this.

Mr. Bing has consistently supported these increases, along with two of his colleagues.

Should he no longer be there to support the mayor, she could lose.

Pitt Meadows would, of course, gain from this. But for this, the mayor and her three supporters care not a whit.

online comments Get with it, Maple Ridge • Thelma Ge: It’s a pain to ride on Lougheed Highway, especially from 216th to 222nd streets – the side is narrow and rutted with many of the killer grates, and the sidewalk is narrow and lumpy and usually a lot of people riding stolen bikes going the wrong way. I shop in Maple Ridge and I sure would like to be able to ride my bike to the stores more often and not feel like I have to drive a car to feel safe.

That’s wrong. Pedestrians have sidewalks, cars have the roads, what do the cyclists get? This town had better get with it, because with the price of fuel as it is, I see more and more people buying bikes but getting frustrated as to where

Mayor Walters is too busy wasting taxpayers’ money on plush hotel rooms because she can’t be bothered to make the 45-minute drive home from Vancouver. Even a taxi would have cost us less. Or, perish the thought, a truly civic-minded mayor who pays for her $500-plus room out of her own pocket.

And why should this be so remarkable, if she really does care?

This ‘little’ perk may not seem like much when compared to $90,000 claimed by Senator Mike Duffy, but it is exactly the same problem.

Byron Hosking Pitt Meadows

they’re going to ride. I usually end up riding to Port Coquitlam to shop at Fremont Village because at least the majority of the way, once out of Maple Ridge, I’m on lovely separated paths – frequented by pedestrians and cyclists. Maple Ridge is doing a disservice to it’s citizens when it comes to shopping, it always has and it doesn’t seem to be improving. You can cycle outside of the downtown (Abernethy), but what about shopping? I haven’t seen any stores on Abernethy.

Spending not sustainable • Michael Kingston · works at Tri-City News: Re: Pitt CAO makes more than White House staffer.

It’s difficult to believe that this level of spending is sustainable. The justification is everyone else is doing it, so that makes it okay. Could this be another Stockton California in the making?

It’s time to get tough with ‘tiny town,’ a Maple Ridge councillor said during a district review of rules on secondary suites.

“Country Lane, we should go down and shut down every one of those suites that exist in Country Lane,” said Coun. Al Hogarth.

“If you want to see unsafe conditions, go down there and take a look. It’s disgusting as far as I’m concerned. I think we have to buck up and stand up and take a real stance on this.”

Hogarth was commenting as council reviewed staff ideas for tuning up the bylaw that regulates secondary suites, which aren’t allowed in the small-lot subdivision east of 240th Street along 102nd Avenue.

Suites have been allowed since 1999 in homes on lots of 557 sq. metres or larger, providing the owner of the property lives on site.

Hogarth, a realtor, said Albion’s narrow roads and small lots are creating parking problems, congestion and safety issues.

People are using the parking stalls for everything but storing their vehicles.

The small lots were created to provide affordable homes, but owners instead now are installing secondary suites to further help with costs in homes for which they weren’t designed.

“If you can’t afford that single family, smaller lot home without augmenting it for the mortgage, then you probably shouldn’t be owning that type home. You should have been moving into a townhouse or one of the other diverse type housing we have,” he added later.

Last year, Hogarth managed a rental home in Port

Haney that was raided by police three times within 12 months.

Five people were arrested at the heritage house on St. Anne’s Avenue, at 223rd Street, after police executed a search warrant. Methamphetamine, crack cocaine, marijuana, magic mushrooms, Oxycontin, Tylenol 3s, and heroin were seized.

Hogarth says the Residential Tenancy Branch makes it difficult to remove bad tenants.

According to bylaws director Liz Holitzki, Albion doesn’t present any more safety or parking or suite problems than any other area.

“Right now, we don’t have any number of complaints in any one area.”

Several suggestions for changing the secondary suites bylaw came after getting the public’s two cents’ worth last year.

One idea is to create a new housing zone that would specifically allow three-plexes and fourplexes, homes with three

or four suites that small investors could build, and thus increase the supply of rental units.

Planner Diana Hall said that staff heard “loud and clear” that secondary suites are part of affordable housing and that suites must be located in homes occupied by owners.

Allowing homes to be built with back doors into the basement makes “construction of illegal suites quite easy to do.” But those should be banned in small-lot homes such as in Albion, staff say.

Other parts of a revised secondary suites bylaw: • continue to use a complaint-driven enforcement approach on second suites; • allow secondary suites in CD-1-99 and in R-1 zones, basically small urban lots, but keep them out of the smaller lots of 213 sq. metres in Albion; • parking rules though should stay the same, requiring two stalls for homeowners and one stall for the secondary street tenants, recognizing, there’s no way of requiring people to park in those stalls rather than on the roads.

• change the district’s long-term plan to encourage builders to rough in fire-separation walls, electrical and plumbing to allow easier and cheaper future conversion of basements into full suites.

A tough part of the bylaw is what to do with temporary residential units, little suites built for family members of homeowners.

Staff are proposing to ban those in R-3 or small lots of 213 sq. m., because they can easily be converted to secondary suites.

Coun. Judy Dueck though said people depend on that type of accommodation. “There are all kinds of families that need this situation.”

Hogarth suggested that anyone who has a secondary suite should be required to have a licence for that suite. That would make it easier to enforce tidiness or safety bylaws.

He also favoured legalizing homes with two non-owner occupied suites, saying they can be maintained as well as an owner-occupied house.

He also was concerned about possible liability against the district should a fire or accident happen in a suite for which the district is collecting extra utility fees, but on which it’s not enforcing building code or safety requirements.

Council will vote later on which changes to make to the bylaw.

“I couldn’t imagine what would happen to a horse it if stepped on a three-inch nail, right in its frog [inside the hoof].”

It will not be an issue for the school for long.

Hit and run Ridge Meadows RCMP are looking for a driver who struck a teenager Monday evening in Maple Ridge and fled the scene.

The 18-year-old man was hit by a red car around 5 p.m. as it turned left off Westfield Avenue onto 207th Street.

The young man was knocked onto the hood of the car, then tumbled onto the road.

“The victim has told

police he waited for a truck to make a left turn off of Westfield before he proceeded onto 207th Street, and he did not see the car until it hit him,” said Sgt. Dale Somerville.

Police are looking for a red car, possibly a two- door coupe, older style, missing the driver’s side view mirror.

The driver is described as a woman with long blond hair, and a thin build.

• RCMP: 604-463-6251.

comb the area and remove all of the nails, but no more were found than those Maitland and his staff discovered.

David Boag, the district director of parks and facilities, said he has followed up with ARMS and with Corrections officials about the issue.

ARMS reported more vandalism – glue placed in locks.

“We’ll monitor this, and see if there’s any follow-up incidents,” he said.

Ridge Meadows RCMP are aware of the issue, and a spokesman said there could be more patrols in the area, as time permits.

Police will follow leads offered by members of the public who see people acting suspicious in the park.

Noted the spokesman: “The first question rational people ask is, “why?”

Wellington Jeffers Harris was advised by Simon Fraser to purchase land in Pitt Meadows along where the CP Rail line was being planned .

A fascinating experience 75 years ago Looki ng Bac k by Leslie Norman

A

few weeks ago, the Pitt Meadows Museum had a visitor who dropped by to follow up on an oral history interview he had done with us a few years earlier.

He was here to drop off some documents he had found and to ask a few questions about a street, Herring Road, that had disappeared under the regional airport when it was developed.

As is always the case with interesting visitors, one conversation led to another and soon we were discussing a fascinating experience he had in the late 1930s, when he was about eight years old.

On that day, more than 75 years ago, he was walking along Harris Road and his inquisitive nature led him into a discussion with the occupant of a house that stood just to the north of the CPR tracks on the eastern side of Harris Road.

The house, built in 1903, is now gone – replaced with a condo building – but we know it to have been one of two built

by William Manson for Wel-

lington Jeffers Harris – the first Reeve of Maple Ridge, an MLA, a diking commissioner, and a pioneering resident of Pitt Meadows.

One story tells us that, as a very young man, Harris was directed to Pitt Meadows by none other than Simon Fraser, who in retirement settled on land next to his family near Ingersoll, Ont. Fraser told him that one day a railway would push through the area and he would become wealthy if he invested in land in Pitt Meadows.

Harris took heed of the information and arrived here in 1874, having preempted more than 147 acres of land throughout the highland area, including most along what would become Harris Road.

He farmed some, but held most on a speculative basis and did become a wealthy man from land sales and other ventures.

On that day so many years ago, our visitor was invited in to the house and given a tour. He was led upstairs to a large and grand meeting room and was told that, at one time, important people who made decisions about the community and area would meet in the room.

His attention was drawn to a very large and ornate table capable of seating a group of these “important” people.

So ornate was the table, he remembers it to this day.

The table was eventually sold or given to someone living out in the Whonnock area and many years later he remembers seeing it rotting away on property out that way, a sad end to a table that graced the home of Wellington Jeffers Harris and may have been used for the first meetings of the group that came together to petition for incorporation of this community.

Harris passed away in 1919 and his wife, Mary Jane, followed him in 1937.

Their son Frank, a life-long bachelor, died in 1940, leaving no children to inherit the house or the table.

• Next time: What did our first council discuss at its first meeting?

Don’t forget to come in and talk to us about our “100th Anniversary Memory Band” project.

Sobeys buying up Safeway stores Your local Safeway store could be changing, or it could just stay the same and keep operating with a new owner – Sobey’s of Nova Scotia, The announcement came last week as Sobeys announced it was buying the chain for $5.8 billion.

Safeway has 213 stores across Canada.

The purchase could be a sign that Safeway is leaving an increasingly tough market as the super chains such as Wal-Mart and Target move in to the food business, said marketing professor Lindsay Meredith, at the Beedie School of Business at SFU. “It’s a very nasty competitive arena out there.”

Sobeys, which also owns Thrifty Foods, hasn’t yet decided if it will keep the Safeway name or reflag the stores under one of its brands.

Sobeys already has a presence in B.C. through its IGA and Thrifty Foods brands.

Adding Safeway’s 75 B.C. stores will give Sobeys 107 outlets in this province.

That compares to 101 for Overwaitea Food Group, 84 for Loblaws, 25 Wal-Marts and 14 Costcos.

Serving Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows since 1978

Sobeys hasn’t decided if it will keep the Safeway name.

Beedie said if Sobeys owns both Safeway and Thrifty, it could allow for harmonization of prices between Thrifty Foods in the downtown, and Safeway in west Maple Ridge.

But it’s possible some stores could close, if they’re cannibalizing each other, he added.

Meredith added that in suburban areas such as Maple Ridge, price is a major factor for younger shops, as opposed to high-rise areas, where there are many households with only one resident and where profit margins are healthier.

The arrival of WalMart 20 years ago “shook up the whole market,” Meredith said.

“A lot of Canadian retailers suffered.”

The deal with Safeway Inc. also includes numerous in-store pharmacies, gas sta-

tions, liquor stores and other distribution or manufacturing facilities across western Canada.

The change of ownership may also mean changing product lines for customers who continue to frequent the stores, as well as possibly different loyalty card systems.

Both Sobeys and Safeway offer Air Miles reward points, but the new operators indicated they will move to eliminate separate loyalty programs.

Big supermarket chains face growing competition as other retailers add groceries to their shelves.

“This is a significant and historic event for Sobeys, which has been proudly serving Canadian food shoppers for 106 years,” Empire president Paul Sobey said.

He called the acquisition an “excellent strategic fit” that strengthens the chain presence in western Canada, and leverages its existing assets to better compete.

Empire officials intend to sell off Safeway stores’ real estate holdings and lease the properties back.

The planned purchase is subject to Competition Bureau approval.

Not everyone’s likes the deal.

Some shoppers posting on Canada Safeway’s Facebook page were critical of Sobeys, while others on Twitter doubt the takeout of a major grocery player will benefit consumers.

“Get ready for higher prices and less competition,” tweeted Vancouver’s Pete Quily.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO

“Leave a Legacy?”

Keeping a Healthy Rhythm in Cardiology The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #88 presented $15,000 from their Poppy Fund to purchase a defibrillator for the cardiology department.

Technologists Leslie Widmer and Ray Grewal were grateful to have the new defibrillator ready when it’s needed.

The two most common causes of sudden cardiac death are ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Defibrillation, used to deliver a dose of electrical current to the heart of a patient—allowing a coordinated heart rhythm to return—is the most effective treatment.

2012–2013 ANNUAL REPORT Investing in better health through community partnerships

$100,000 Pledge to Make a Difference Drive for the Cure donated $25,000, their third pledge instalment, to purchase equipment used for the early detection and treatment of cancer at Ridge Meadows Hospital.

Message from the Chair As Chair of the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation Board of Directors, it is a privilege for me to be a member of the Foundation that has made such a huge difference in health care in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. I’m pleased to tell you about the difference generous donations from people like you have made over the past year, and I’m excited to see what we’ll be able to do together in the year ahead.

Already, we’re moving toward the future, and planning to update equipment that will benefit you, your family and your neighbours. You can help ensure our medical professionals will have everything they need to continue providing excellent care to our community.

RMH strives to provide the best standard of care in all aspects of health care.

From prevention to diagnosis to treatment, your wellbeing is our top priority.

Our talented health care professionals rely on your support to provide the excellent care that they do.

Last year was a busy and rewarding year, and we’re already moving in the right direction to make this year even better, but we need your help. The support of people like you, people who rely on RMH to keep our community healthy and strong, is vitally important. We can’t move forward without you. Please send your gift today.

Three new ultrasound probes were purchased with ‘From the Heart’ donations made at the 2012 Gala. A new general probe will ensure that all four of our ultrasound suites are fully equipped and ready for our patients.

The new cardiac probe and paediatric probe are much smaller in size and will provide accurate imaging in smaller situations.

These new probes will help to ensure precise images, which means accurate diagnoses, which translates to better treatment plans for our patients.

Marching with Ten Souljers Marty Robson and his band see success by paying it forward

by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

W

ith a top hat on his head, Marty Robson looks the part of a circus ring master – a general set to march his troops into shape.

He admits he can sometimes be single-minded, but it's that focus that's propelled Ten Souljers to its status as a sought-after dance band.

"If you want to be successful," says Robson, "that's what you have to do."

Featuring three horn players, five vocalists and one of the best rhythm sections in Vancouver, Ten Souljers is a band with lots of soul.

Robson honed his musical and vocal skills with the U.K. cover band Rock the Monkey, but found it hard to give up the stage when he moved to Canada for love.

When he formed Ten Souljers in 2004, Robson made his ambitions clear to every musician and singer who signed up – he wanted the band to become the top events band in Canada and be-

yond.

Robson believes he's achieved that with the band's current line up, featuring himself, Karina Morrin and D'arcy Han on lead vocals; Scotty K. Jones on drums; Lee McDonough on guitar; Matt Reid on bass; Karlo Martin on keyboards; Jim 'The Reverend Hopper' Hopson on trombone; Anton Schamberger on tenor saxophone; and Malcolm Aiken on trumpet.

"I believe hand on heart that there is not a better band out there," he says.

"When we are cooking and our rhythm section is tight and those girls are singing to their full potential, I'm telling you it does not get any better."

Robson's managed to keep the 10-piece ensemble together for the past six years, an achievement in itself and one that's sewed together with a lot of hard-work.

Ten Souljers began as a soul and R&B outfit, similar to The Commitments. Robson soon pushed the band to expand its repertoire to land them more work.

"If you pigeon hole yourself to one genre of music, you are not going to work a lot," says Robson, who runs his own company Vantastic Event Entertainment. see Ten Souljers, p20

2013 Biennale celebrates artists of the Fraser Valley exhibition features a diversity in artistic style

The Emerald Isle, a triptych by Linzy Arnott, one of the many paintings featured in the 2013 biennale.

f the term `biennale’ doesn’t immediately resonate with you, it’s probably time you made a point of checking out the amazing array of artwork featured in the Fraser Valley Biennale, which opened Saturday the Maple Ridge Art Gallery.

In the art world, a biennale is simply a show that occurs every two years.

Whether the show is international in scope or embraces a specific region like the Fraser Valley, it’s generally a display that celebrates diversity in artistic style, focus and medium, as emerging and established artists share the spotlight in unusually close proximity.

The Fraser Valley Biennale is actually represented in four different public galleries, all offering their own impressive displays at different times throughout the spring and summer: The Reach Gallery, Abbotsford (July 11-Sept.

8); The Kariton Gallery, Abbotsford (July 26-Aug. 20); the Mission Arts Centre (July

2–20), and the Maple Ridge Art Gallery (June 15-July 27).

“This is an exhibition where I set aside my own vision of creating an all-embracing statement or theme to the exhibition, and – believe it or not – I don’t find that easy,” says Maple Ridge Art Gallery curator, Barbara Duncan.

“But I think it’s refreshing sometimes, to simply select work that speaks to you purely from the point of each artist in the room – it’s a snap shot of what’s going on in the region, and it demonstrates the remarkable range of artists we have working in the area.”

It is the second year Maple Ridge has hosted the exhibition.

“If nothing else, this exhibition demonstrates that the valley has attracted an extraordinary number of accomplished artists, some of them who are recognized in the larger urban centres and even the international stage, while others, for any number of reasons, create their art in relative obscurity,” Duncan added.

• The Maple Ridge Art Gallery, located at the ACT, hosts the Fraser Valley Biennale until July 27.

Ridge soprano sings in Carmen Arianna Ervin to perform with UBC Opera Ensemble

11944 Haney Place, Maple Ridge, BC

Maple Ridge Art Gallery Fraser Valley Biennale 2013 June 15 – July 27 Tues – Sat – 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

M

aple Ridge soprano Arianna Ervin will perform this weekend in Georges Bizet’s French masterpiece Carmen presented by the UBC Opera Ensemble.

Set in 19th century Spain, Carmen tells the story of the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who is seduced by the wiles of the fiery gypsy, Carmen.

José abandons his childhood sweetheart and deserts from his military duties, yet loses Carmen’s love to the glamorous toreador, Escamillo, after which José kills her in a jealous rage.

Carmen shocked its earliest audiences, but has since proven to be a masterpiece and a cornerstone of the operatic repertoire.

Ervin’s passion for opera was ignited by her teachers at Maple Ridge secondary.

The 19-year-old had planned to study musical theatre but began to pursue a classical path after falling in love with the classical songs she sang with the school’s choir.

Ervin is now her second year of a music degree at the University of British Columbia and Carmen is one of her favourite operas.

For this presentation, she is singing as part of Carmen’s chorus but hopes to one day play the role of Michaela, a village maiden.

Ervin will be join on stage by many other talented singers who have come together from across Canada and the world to prepare this masterpiece for Vancouver.

All roles are double cast with Don José being played by Wei-long

Soprano Arianna Ervin performs as part of the chorus.

Tao and Kwangmin Brian Lee, Escamillo by José Ramirez and Kyle Lehmann, Micaëla by Natascia Dell’erba and Bahareh Poureslami, and the title role of Carmen being played by Francesca Corrado and Emma Parkinson.

Parkinson joins the UBC Opera Ensemble from recently completing L’Atelier Opera Lyrique Young Artist Program in Montreal and Corrado just completed her first year in the UBC Opera Masters Program.

“It is empowering to portray such a strong and vivid heroine onstage,” says Corrado.

“I feel there is a little piece of Carmen in every woman. The bold, confident seductress of Carmen’s character in Bizet’s musical language will be brought to life by maestro Leslie Dala. I have had the wonderful opportunity of working with Maestro Dala before, and I look forward to continuing to learn

from him.”

The music of Carmen has been widely acclaimed for its brilliance of melody, harmony, atmosphere, and orchestration, and for the skill with which Bizet represents musically the emotions and suffering of his characters.

The magnificent set, is designed by UBC Theatre alumna Carolyn Rapanos and accompanied by beautifully crafted media screen projections by Renee Liu. Jeremy Baxter once again illuminates the fabulous opera with his exquisite lighting design.

Showtime Carmen plays at the UBC Old Auditorium, 6344 Memorial Road in Vancouver June 22, 27, 28, 29 at 7:30 p.m. and June 23, 30 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at www.ubcopera. universitytickets.com or by telephone at 604-8226725.

Ten Souljers play a fundraiser for the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops on Saturday.

Robson, however, makes sure the band gives back.

For the past four years, the band has played at the Ride to Conquer Cancer.

In February, Ten Souljers played a gig for B.C. Children’s Hospital, where Robson was the key note speaker. His speech about his three-year-old daughter Kaija Mae’s lifesaving intestinal surgery hushed the room.

Guests initially donated $1.1 million but when the call-out for cash went out, B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation pulled in a record breaking $2 million.

That’s exactly why Robson and Ten

“If you donate your time or reduce your fee, it will come back to you,” he says.

The band is booked to play in China this September by someone who heard them play at a fundraiser for the Royal Inland Hospital.

Pet s by Magdalena Romanow

ecause I volunteer at an animal shelter, my home is always full of animals.

That is why when I tell people they should get a cat or a dog and they say, “Oh, I already have one.”

I can’t help but think, “One, just one?”

For most people in my situation, having one animal in the home is just not an option.

Sometimes I think having one pet would be a luxury.

Most times, I can’t imagine not having a furry body covering almost every square inch of liveable space.

Most shelters will only adopt out kittens in pairs, unless you already have a feline or two in your home.

Research has shown that kittens thrive if they have a playmate to keep them occupied.

The same would be true for puppies, or any other social being.

Leaving any baby alone at home all day while you go to work just doesn’t give them the interaction they so desperately need when they are little.

Older animals also appreciate the company of other animals in the house.

Recently, on Youtube I found a series on animals being interviewed about being an only pet. My favorite is a guinea pig who would like a pet turtle for a friend so he could watch him stick his head in and out all day long.

At the end of the clip the Guinea Pig simply says, “Being an only pet sucks”.

I would argue that, for the most part, this is true.

However, the number of pets you can have in your life depends on many factors, such as your lifestyle, the size of your home, and the other humans that inhabit it.

Overcrowding can be just as stressful as loneliness. Many cats, for example, are very territorial, and at Katie’s Place we have numerous cats who would do best in a one-cat home.

Multiple cats require multiple litters, multiple sleeping quarters, and multiple feeding

stations. If you live in an apartment this may not be possible. Over the years I have figured out that my home is most comfortable with three cats. That is our ideal number, not the actual one.

While, for the most part, animals learn to coexist and accept newcomers, it is always a good idea to think ahead and adopt more than one right away instead of trying to introduce new animals down the road.

So if you are going to your local shelter to bring home a new family member, consider bringing more than one.

This is not to say that you can’t add to your family over the years, but you have to realize this will require a bit of extra effort on your part.

Make sure you read up on introducing new pets to the existing ones before you bring a new pet home.

Take a look around your home. How many places do you have for a litter box? How many rooms are you willing to have animals in? Is there a space in the house you would prefer to have all to yourself, and if so can access to it be animal proofed? Can three dogs lounge easily in your living room, or would that pretty much require you to move all your furniture out?

Only you can determine how many animals can share your home without stepping on each other’s toes.

Be realistic.

Too many animals lose their homes because that one extra puppy or kitten just put the others over the edge.

Unfortunately, for the most part, it’s the oldtimers that end up at our shelter, not the new additions.

On the other hand, keep in mind that animals get lonely just like humans, and the company of other animals can be just as rewarding for them as our company.

So find that ideal balance.

One may not be enough, but eight can be too many.

14 teams on to B.C. finals after softball playdowns

Midget Burrards win tournament

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

The Ridge Meadows Minor Softball Association will be sending 14 teams to provincial championship tournaments, after playing their way through the district playdowns here over the weekend.

“A couple of magic things came together over the weekend – the weather, and the play of the kids,” said local association president Brian Fewtrell.

Eight Ridge teams, ranging in age from U-12 to U-19, and at both the C and B levels qualified for provincials. They will be joining six A teams who were already on their way to provincials, and most of those tournaments will be played out in July.

The Rage 2000 team, a group of 12 and 13-year-old girls, were the Cinderella Story of the tournament, as the team that came in with no expectations, but wound up winning their way to the provincials at the B level.

“There were ecstatic kids, jumping up and down and crying,” said Fewtrell.

Fewtrell expects his association’s teams to do well at provincials, as Ridge ball players generally take their share of the hardware handed out each summer.

In 2012 the association had four provincial medals, two gold, a silver and a bronze, and the Pride pee wee A team took bronze at the Western Canadian Championships.

The year before was even better, with a pee wee A team winning gold at Westerns, two gold, three silver and a bronze medal at the provincial level. And success comes to teams at every age level.

Fewtrell said the association is enjoying success because it accommodates players’ goals, whether they are just looking to play

“The ones who want to put the time in, who are really into it, we offer the programs they want,” he said.

The girls in Ridge Meadows softball generally start young, have play at a competitive level all spring and summer, and then workout indoors during the winter.

This is the time of year when coaches and organizers see if their on the right track.

The Burrards faced teams from Kelowna, Penticton, North Okanagan and West Kootenay.

Sunday’s game time is 6:45 p.m. at Planet Ice.

The Maple Ridge Burrards have lost three of their last four games, slipped to third place in the Western Lacrosse Association, and next face the toughest team in the league as they try to get back on track.

With a loss against the first-place Victoria Shamrocks on Sunday, a once-promising season could slip into mediocrity at 5-5. A win against the league’s top team, with a 6-2 record, would make a statement that the Burrards’ are legit, and worthy of the earlyseason kudos, which included a No. 2 spot in the Lacrosse Talk National Rankings.

The Shamrocks blasted the Burrards 14-9 in Victoria on Friday.

Corey Small, the Edmonton Rush sniper who has led the Shamrocks in scoring for the past two seasons, lit up Ridge for

Burrard Curtis Dickson, the league scoring leader, had four goals and two assists in the game, and team captain Jarrett Davis had five assists.

Andrew Murphy had a goal and two assists, and

Riley Loewen scored twice.

Then on Sunday night, the Burrards lost to the Burnaby Lakers 11-7 at home.

The Lakers had won three straight games, including victories over the first-place Shamrocks and second-place Langley Thunder. They jumped the Burrards for three quick goals, took a 5-1 lead after the first pe-
