suspicious fire displaces 21 tenants RCMP investigating what started blaze in parkade

by T i m Fi tzge r ald contributor

Colleen Flanagan/the news

Maple Ridge firefighters remove burnt items from a storage area in the parking garage of Sunrise Apartments on 122nd Avenue Saturday morning, after a fire Friday evening displaced 21 people for two days.

An apartment complex in Maple Ridge already plagued by bedbug problems was damaged in a suspicious fire Friday afternoon.

The fire started just before 7 p.m. in the parkade storage area of Sunrise Apartments, forcing 21 people from their apartments over the weekend.

The fire burned through plastic drainage piping, leaving the north side of the building on 122nd Avenue uninhabitable.

The Ridge Meadows RCMP are in the early stages of their investigation and have no suspects as of yet.

Donna Blaszak of Vancouver was in the area when she noticed smoke billowing out of the parkade. She immediately called 911 while her friends ran to the building trying to alert tenants.

“My friend’s father just ran up to the building shouting and banging on windows,” said Blaszak. see Fire, p8

DFO blitz nabs Ridge poachers

A Maple Ridge resident had his boat seized for illegally fishing salmon over the weekend. It was the second boat belonging to a local offender the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has taken during a late-summer enforcement blitz to protect spawning

sockeye.

Since announcing a closure of all salmon fishing on the lower Fraser River on Aug. 16, the DFO has seized nine vessels, including the two local boats. It has also taken 60 nets out of the water – some which are drifting unmanned, and started investigations against 28 alleged poachers.

Herb Redekopp, the DFO’s regional chief of conservation and enforcement, contacted numerous media outlets to inform the public just how seriously his agency is taking its job of safe-

guarding the salmon. The number of returning salmon is lower than expected, and high water temperatures have DFO biologists pessimistic about the numbers that will successfully spawn.

To ensure all possible sockeye get through, there is no fishing for any salmon species at this time.

“We’ve got to make sure every one of these fish gets up the river to spawn,” said Redekopp.

Fisheries officers are on the river all day and overnight, using state-of-the-art night vision equipment that allows them to

operate as if in daylight. They have a fixed-wing aircraft capable of taking high resolution photos.

It is normally used for Fisheries enforcement on Vancouver Island, but is now flying the Fraser. A helicopter is being used to spot fishing vessels and drifting gill nets, and then guide crews in boats and trucks to the site. And, maximum manpower is being brought to bear on the issue.

Some offenders have tried to flee, but with the DFO resources available, it has proven futile. see DFO, p10

Ticketing for pot possession sensible Police chiefs’ association propose alternative to court process Stories by Ph il Me lnyc h u k staff reporter

The two local mayors like the idea of police just handing out tickets for pot possession instead of saddling people with criminal charges.

“We need to free up the court system to get some of the serious stuff dealt with,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin.

If police find someone with marijuana but with no medical marijuana licence, police should be able to issue a ticket, he says.

But if the amount is a kilogram or more, then trafficking charges could be in order.

“There has to be some way to simplify the system.”

Daykin was commenting after the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police last week recommended letting police treat simple marijuana possession as a ticketing offence.

The chiefs’ association argues the option of writing tickets to punish people caught with less than 30 grams of marijuana would be less costly and time-intensive than sending criminal charges through the courts.

Maple Ridge has jumped to the front of the medical marijuana debate by proposing a bylaw requiring medical pot to be grown only within the Agricultural Land Reserve, under strict conditions. A public hearing on that takes place Sept. 17. New medical pot laws allowing commercial operations come into effect next April.

Daykin though disagrees with the federal Conservative approach on marijuana which opposes any decriminalization of the drug.

“Prohibition didn’t work in the 1930s with alcohol. It just made a bunch of people rich.”

But it’s always possible that the federal government could reverse itself. “Never say never.”

“If they’re that rock solid in their position, they need to ask themselves why?“Wisdom is

NEWS FILES

The mayors of Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge support the Canadian police chiefs’ association’s call to treat marijuana possession of less than 30 grams as a ticketing offence. what you have left over when you run out of personal opinions on the subject.”

Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters has a similar view and says ticketing could be an interim step until the issue is sorted out once and for all.

“Do we need to go to court for a small possession of marijuana [charge] and do we have the resources for that? I don’t think so. I think there are other crimes out there that the money can be better spent on.

“In the meantime, I’m all about cost saving.

If this frees up the courts and this makes it a little bit less time-intensive for the police – then it is about saving money for our citizens.”

She acknowledges it’s awkward with some

parts of society calling for legalization while others are dead set against and pointed out that’s the case in Washington state which has legalized personal use while the American government opposes it.

“There’s a lot of resources being used to take criminals on smaller charges to court and it’s taking forever to get them through the system.”

Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MP Randy Kamp said it’s an interesting question but added the government hasn’t responded to the police chiefs’ suggestion and that Ottawa doesn’t plan on legalizing or decriminalizing cannabis.

“We continue to believe that drugs, even

marijuana, are illegal because of its harmful effects that they have on users and society at large.”

But Kamp said speaking personally, ticketing could be a middle ground “that’s probably worth considering at least.”

Former Maple Ridge councillor Craig Speirs though says it’s simply time to legalize marijuana. He’s coordinating Sensible BC’s petition efforts in both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Sensible BC is trying to collect enough names to force a province-wide referendum on legalizing marijuana.

“It’s refreshing that Ernie would agree with that. I think he’s ahead of regular politicians, just like the rest of the public. We’re leaving (Conservative Prime Minister Stephen) Harper in the dust.”

“I really think that the public is way ahead of the politicians on this one,” Speirs said Friday while on vacation.

Speirs supports federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s stance on pot which also favours legalization. Speirs previously ran as an NDP candidate federally.

“Where are the Tories? Where are the NDP on this? I’m frustrated as hell.”

He added that the federal Conservative approach to keep marijuana illegal costs B.C. $10 million a year in police enforcement costs.

According to statistics provided by Ridge Meadows RCMP, pot possession charges have jumped.

In 2009, there were 52 simple possession charges from the Ridge Meadows detachment while in 2012, there were 63.

The group that wants marijuana legalized though disagrees with the ticketing approach.

“It’s a bad idea,” said Sensible B.C.’s Dana Larsen, who is director of Maple Ridge’s TAGGS Cannabis Dispensary. “It’s actually going to result in more cannabis users being persecuted.”

He said police in B.C. issue warnings or write reports on 18,000 people a year for use of marijuana without laying charges.

“They would all get tickets under that new system,” Larsen predicted.

Former councillor poses solution to marijuana question Find out which politicians have smoked cannabis Former Maple Ridge councillor Craig Speirs is inviting politicians of all stripes to join the effort to finding a solution to the smouldering question of marijuana.

Speirs is leading Sensible BC’s efforts in Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows in an attempt to collect signatures from 10 per cent of the eligible voters in the riding to force a B.C. referendum on legalizing the herb. The group has to do so within 90 days in order to force an HST-type referendum that could take in September 2014.

The HST referendum in 2011 resulted in the killing of the Harmonized Sales Tax last April 1.

“It’s insane that they keep pressing this,” Speirs said of the federal government’s position on maintaining criminalization of marijuana.

“We’ve got to have this discussion. That’s what the federal government should be doing.”

He said marijuana should be sold in B.C. Daykin liquor stores and only to those 19 and over, just like booze.

That way, there can be some control in keeping it away from teens who are now smoking. People should be at least 20 years old before they start smoking marijuana, he adds.

Speirs admits, he tokes up, on

occasion. When he has a quiet time and wants to reflect, he’ll smoke a joint which helps clarify things, he says.

“It’s really good for reflection. I would prescribe it to many politicians.

“Over the years, when I’ve had a thorny problem, I’ve had a puff,

sat some place quiet and thought about something and usually what that does is bring something up that maybe hadn’t occurred to me. It really is good for reflective thought.

“I think there are many politicians who would benefit greatly from a little reflective thought.

I would just mention the entire (federal) Tory caucus, just have a doobie and relax.”

But he said it’s an occasional thing, which is how most people smoke it. Education is crucial, so people can make up their own minds.

“What somebody does to their own body is their own choice. As

long as they’re not hurting me or my society, I don’t really care.”

Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters said she tried pot once when she was a teen. “Growing up with two parents who smoked, it’s just something that didn’t appeal to me at all.

“Smoking isn’t for me, either.

“To be quiet honest, I don’t judge people who do,” although she pointed out it’s still illegal. She’ll respect whatever is the final decision on the marijuana, she added.

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin though has never had a puff.

“My first encounter with it was in the late 1960s after a basketball game, scared the crap out of me.

“I have no inclination. Never have tried it.”

Time to reopen the doors of Riverview Hospital Ridge council submits resolution to UBCM

by P hil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

Bob Masse remembers the fallout from the mental health strategy, launched by the NDP in the 1990s, which saw the discharge of many patients from Riverview Hospital. The effects were immediate.

ple Ridge community health commission then and saw the jump in the number of mentally ill people wandering the streets – even showing up in his chiropractic office still wearing underwear labelled Riverview Hospital.

“It drastically changed the landscape of our province in terms of the presence of mentally ill people on our streets.

We saw it in health care immediately,” Masse said Tuesday.

The idea was to empty the large buildings and care for the mentally ill in smaller facilities, closer to where they lived.

But nothing was built to replace the psychiatric hospitals.

Masse believes it’s time to reinstate Riverview Hospital as a “Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Care and Support” and save millions of dollars in the process.

His idea won Maple Ridge council’s support and at the Lower Mainland Local Government Association. Now, the resolution will be on the agenda of the Union of B.C. Municipalities meeting, Sept. 16 to 20

in Vancouver.

And just because it’s passed at UBCM, it doesn’t mean the provincial government will agree and find the dollars to expand the grounds.

Some facilities for the mentally ill continue to operate there.

purse, he adds.

“It’s so much more expensive,” to treat mentally ill without such a centre. You need to have centres of excellence to treat serious illnesses whether it’s cardiac or cancer. That’s where you concentrate the experts in the field.”

“It is going to save them a ton of money,” .”

Dr. Bob Masse, councillor, District of Maple Ridge

Many buildings at Riverview Hospital along the Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam could be easily reopened.

“It is going to save them a ton of money,” he said.

There are huge costs in dealing with the mentally ill through police response or visits to the local hospital. There actually is no argument that reactivating more of Riverview would be cheaper on the public

Before he pushed the idea, Masse contacted Coquitlam council, which also supports the resolution and wants to see a “Campus of Care” at Riverview.

Masse said according to the Canadian Psychiatric Association, there should be 50 psychiatric beds per 100,000 population. B.C. only has 38.

That’s the lowest number of beds in Western Canada where the average is 48 psychiatric beds

per 100,000. Yet, he says B.C. spends more per capita on mental health than the prairie provinces.

He agreed, most people would stay at an expanded Riverview voluntarily. “The notion that we’re going to lock people up and it’s going to be like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is just not the reality.”

According to the Ministry of Health though research shows that people respond better in smaller, communitybased facilities. People staying at Riverview were separated from families and friends, it says.

“Government has worked with health authorities to create facilities throughout the province with the appropriate supports, treatment and services.”

The ministry also has spent $138 million on mental health facilities around B.C., with 715 beds opened for the mentally ill in 2012.

It says since 2001, annual mental health spending has jumped by 58 per cent to $1.3 billion.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Drug law reform must proceed Failed NDP leadership candidate Dana Larsen and his group Sensible BC are set to kick off their campaign next month to force a referendum on marijuana policy. Much like the ultimately successful Fight HST petition in 2010, Larsen hopes to use the Recall and Initiative Act to force an end to what he sees as archaic and draconian drug laws.

Specifically, Larsen and his group want to prohibit the use of police resources in B.C. to enforce drugs laws aimed at the possession and use of marijuana.

Larsen will need to get more than 10 per cent of registered voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts to sign the petition in order to force a province-wide referendum on the issue. He’ll have 90 days to do it, beginning next month.

Larsen is no doubt emboldened by the success of the Fight HST campaign, not to mention the recent move by Washington State to legalize recreational marijuana use there.

And the message is clear: Marijuana prohibition does vastly more harm than good.

It’s a message that is increasingly finding an audience.

An Ipsos poll conducted last year found that 66 per cent of Canadians support the decriminalization of marijuana in small amounts. Twentyfive years ago, that number was just 39 per cent.

It’s an encouraging trend.

Marijuana prohibition funds organized crime, wastes tax dollars, wastes police resources, and makes the drug easier for young people to obtain.

Larsen should be commended for going after an issue that most politicians are too afraid to touch. His message is one that deserves to be heard.

Good advice not hard to find today W

hen people ask me what I do for work, I like to say that I ask people how to properly spell their names for a living.

If a fellow journalist is in the room, I sometimes get a laugh.

If not? Crickets.

Lately though, I’ve Commentary started to give a dif- Nick Greenizan ferent answer to that question.

“So, what do you do?”

“I argue with people about things that don’t really matter.”

“Ohhh. Well… that’s nice.”

It’s a fun conversation to have. And I’ve had a few fun ones lately.

Maybe there’s been an abundance of full moons, or maybe this summer heat is making people go a lil’ loopy – myself included, I’m sure. But whatever the case, I’ve had numerous interesting interactions the past few months.

Some of the phone calls and emails are sarcastic, many are exceedingly polite and a few are more vicious than necessary.

Nevertheless, let’s just call it all constructive criticism.

And so, in a nod to noted philosopher Homer Simpson – who once claimed that “self-improvement has always been a passion of mine” – I’ve decided to take the unsolicited advice and run with it.

All of it.

As such, in the future I vow to heed the following advice: • Write more about girls softball;

• Write less about girls softball; • Describe South Surrey businesses as being in White Rock; • “Learn to read a map, fer crissakes!”

• Don’t focus so much on junior hockey; • Don’t forget the Surrey Eagles training camp starts this week; • Publish a paper that’s not so damn negative all the time; • Seriously, don’t forget about girls softball; • Stop ignoring every important story in the city; • Stop sucking.

(That last one came courtesy of a recent letter to the editor, regarding the paper’s coverage of local sports. Thanks, as always!)

The thing is, a reporter’s job is in the public eye. Our names are on the pages of the paper multiple times each week, and online for eternity. The ability for a reader to send us a comment – good or bad – is but a mouse-click away.

Telling me how much I suck takes 10 seconds. (Try it, I’ll time you!)

Of course, there are those who get it way worse than any reporter.

We live in an era now in which everyone – whether they live in glass houses or not – feels it’s their right to throw stones at whomever, and whatever, they’d like.

Want to tell a professional baseball player he’s killing your fantasy team? He’s probably on Twitter.

Want to give a review of some musician’s latest work? Find him on Facebook.

Want to holler at a politician? Go nuts. (That’s what we pay them for, right?) Though you’ll probably have to

go through a handful of PR flacks first, which will either intensify your anger or cause you to give up entirely.

Hmmm, maybe that’s the solution – have all my calls and emails re-routed through six different people first.

Of course, a more practical – and visceral – solution would be to return fire with some variation of the old “I don’t come to where you work and yell at

“The ability for a reader to send us a comment – good or bad – is but a mouse-click away.”

you!” retort, but I’ve never done that.

The truth is, as reporters, none of it bothers us. We can’t take it personally.

Sometimes, we’re actually alerted to a legitimate mistake (rare, of course) or something we’ve missed; and other times, the critique is just fair comment.

Maybe sometimes I really am an idiot.

Who’s to say?

If nothing else, I figured I’d try to disabuse people of the notion that their voices of dissent are too often ignored.

They’re not. You’ve been heard loud and clear.

I’ll try my best not to suck so much in the future. Promise.

The News/letters Another question for Coun. Ashlie

Editor, The News: Re: ‘Making an informed decision’ (Letters, Aug. 7).

I wish to thank Coun. Ashlie for her rather lengthy public response to my letter. She goes to great lengths to assure everyone that there is “nothing in law” that prohibits her from acting as campaign manager, taking this job with MLA Bing, and staying on as councillor for the District.

That the “Constitution supports her right” to do so. That she’s “non-partisan”. That there is “no language in a collective agreement that prohibits a dual role”. That she “qualifies” for the role. And that “under conflict legislation”, she will make sure that she applies “due diligence”.

She’s done everything but answer the questions I asked.

Let me ask her one more - I’m not sure why she brought up the NDP councilor in Port Coquitlam, but if he/she were to jump off the Golden Ears bridge, would she follow? Just because one other councilor in the province has made the same choice as she has, does that make it right? I think not.

Me thinks Ms. Ashlie doth protest too much.

Non-human personhood?

Editor, The News: Re: You can talk to animals if you listen (Along The Fraser, Aug. 16).

Jack Emberly writes, “I mind-linked with a fruit bat in my big sister’s back yard.” It seems they are still connected.

No one disputes some animals respond to repetitive words, are social and far more complex than we can ever imagine. But the scientist Mr. Emberley mentions, Dr. Con Slobodchikoff of Northern University who is “working on a digital device that will translate the vocalizations of prairie dogs sound like he was in on the mind meld as well. As far as India declaring dolphins, (amazing creatures) “non-human personhood” there is no such thing.

Persons are an individual human being; a man, woman, or child; bodily form; human frame. As well India has a history of treating their animals better than their citizens.

ALR rules should be updated Editor, The News: Re: Farmland OK’d for new road, mall (The News, Aug. 16).

This strip of land has not been farmed in years. Some of the land has already been ruined with structural fill.

Furthermore, the way I see it, it consists of several small parcels.

And who in his right mind wants to farm there anyway?

Most of South Pitt Meadows good farmland has been taken out of the ALR for residential development, roads, industrial development and where were all the opponents to these exclusions? Not to be seen.

“There is still plenty of unused farmland laying around for food production.”

Farmers having problems moving their equipment on the Old Dewdney Trunk Road? I wonder if some of these so called farmers even know how to turn their tractor emergency lights on when travelling on DTR Rd.?

I have lived in this neighbour hood for 30 plus years.

The only products I see produced are: blueberries, cranberries and hay.

Having sold real estate in this neighbour hood for 25 years and still being kept up to date, what are most acreage investors buying in Pitt Meadows?

Large parcels of land either with blueberries fields or properties for blueberry production.

TransLink gravy train rolls on and on Editor, The News: Re: Bus-to-SkyTrain transfers costly without card. (The News, Aug. 16).

I find it interesting that TransLink cannot come up with $25 million to harmonize bus fare boxes to work in conjunction with the new Compass Cards.

The excuse by TransLink CEO, Ian Jarvis is that the expenditure is, “not economically feasible.”

TransLink seems to have no problem ponying up $33 million to fund management

salaries and an additional $300 million for the salaries of the 61 percent of their employees who are making at least 70,000 dollars annually.

Despite purported cuts in the number of management staff, the gravy train rolls on. At the same as the bus system has been subject to drastic cuts, TransLink managers are receiving double-digit wage increases and large bonuses. It’s the first organization in my experience that pays bonuses to its managers for losing money.

TransLink has been top heavy in administration since the day of it’s inception. How can the public take seriously TransLink’s pleas for taxpayer money, when they can’t even get their own house in order? It’s time for the Liberal government to come out from behind the shell of TransLink, and take a serious look at this dysfunctional organization. In a perfect world, public transit would be put back under direct control of the provincial government

where it belongs. TransLink has been a money pit since it was spawned in the late 1990s. When are the Liberals going to wake up and realize that this moneylosing organization must be disbanded? I challenge the Liberals to prove that they are better financial stewards of the public’s money than are the unelected, unaccountable board members of this detestable organization.

Scary for tenants Fire from front

“The fire department were on scene incredibly fast.”

She said large crowd gather outside the building watching as the flames in the parkade were quickly extinguished.

James McIlmoyle just moved into the apartments recently. Living on the third floor, he heard the fire alarm ringing and noticed a crowd gathering outside.

“I didn’t grab a lot, just my keys and my wallet,” he said.

McIlmoyle said it was his first ever experience with a fire and hopes it’s his last.

“I’ve heard about other fires in the area and it’s a scary thought if someone’s lighting these,” he said. “It was definitely a crazy situation, that’s for sure.”

The latest incident compounds to a long list of trouble for Sunrise Apartments and the ad-

jacent Sorrento Apartments. Both were in the news last year due to a bed bug infestation that has plagued the buildings since April 2012.

Maple Ridge’s fire chief Dane Spence said cast iron piping in the parkade has been replaced with PVC pipes in the past few years.

The blaze quickly engulfed items in the storage area, as well as a car parked nearby.

Ceri Marlow, the emergency operations manager for Maple Ridge, said the district provided food and shelter for 21 people affected by Friday’s fire. The emergency services program provides relief for 72 hours after an event like Friday’s fire. Marlow said all 21 were allowed to go back home Sunday.

• Anyone with any information on the fire can call the RCMP at 604-463-6251 or call CrimeStoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Yes, you can !

Prime Minister Stephen Harper will ask the Governor General to prorogue Parliament until October in time for the next speech from the throne.

The Prime Minister’s office confirmed Harper will ask the Governor General to suspend the current parliamentary session, which means federal MPs won’t return to the House of Commons until midOctober.

Conservative MP Randy Kamp was not available for comment

but intends to use the time away from Ottawa to do more work in his constituency.

“Not much would change but he will be more available for meetings and visits with different stakeholders in the riding,” said Kamp’s constituency assistant Mike Murray.

“We might even do some ad hoc doorknocking to get out and meet some constituents.

We will keep busy for sure.”

The House was scheduled to return Sept. 16 and Murray points out prorogation is often used by majority government who are in the middle of their term.

It only postpones the return for around four weeks, he added.

It’s not the first time Harper has used prorogation, which effectively

“I’m using every Fishery officer I have right now,” said Redekopp.

“Unfortunately, almost every day and night we’re running into individuals poaching.”

Most of the activity is from the mouth of the

river to Spuzzum, just north of Hope. There are hot spots for poachers, but they are active throughout the region, including Maple Ridge.

Redekopp said compliance among sport fishermen has been “really high,” and so far no com-

management. Stephen Harper refuses to answer legitimate questions from the public.”

The Liberals accused Harper of delay tactics.

“It would appear to be an attempt to continue to avoid accountability for the ongoing scandals with Senator Duffy and Wallin and as well the Prime Minister’s own chief of staff who simply gave Senator Duffy $90,000,” said John Caldwell, president of the Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission riding association.

He noted Harper has had plenty of time to craft a throne speech since Parliament has been on a summer break since June.

“This further delay of Parliament’s returning to work to do its business is quite unfortunate.”

terminates all bills that are before the House.

He first used it in 2007, a year after the Conservatives first formed government.

In 2008, Harper used prorogation to avoid a no-confidence vote and suspended Parliament again in 2010, effectively halting House of Commons hearings into the treatment of Afghan detainees.

The official Opposition accused the Conservatives of using prorogation to evade accountability by failing to address the senate expenses scandal.

“People aren’t going to be fooled,” said New Democratic Party leader Tom Mulcair in a statement.

“This is clearly a desperate government worn out by ethical scandals and mis-

mercial fishing operators have been caught.

Gill nets are the problem, and he said a drifting gill net can kill many fish in a short time.

Asked whether the offenders need the salm- Redekopp on for food, Redekopp said circumstances vary, but many of the people who are being apprehended have significant criminal records, and some have drug addictions.

Redekopp said tips about illegal fishing are coming for all fishermen – recreational, commercial and aboriginal.

“We’re being supported, to be quite honest, by everybody.”

Redekopp also warns the public that if they are caught buying illegally caught salmon, the purchasers will be charged along with the sellers.

“It’s a crime, there is

no commercial fishery on the Fraser,” he said.

“What we’re asking the public to do, is go to a legitimate seafood retailer..

“We will charge the fishermen, we will charge the seller and we will charge the buyer,” he said, noting the maximum penalty is a $100,000 fine.

Redekopp noted that there could soon be an opening for pink salmon. They’re not as widely preferred as sockeye, but they look good on a barbecue.

“We’re pretty lucky here – any of the species of salmon here are fine fish to eat.”

He is also asking the public to help with tips.

If they see illegal salmon fishing or sales, they should call 1-800-4654336.

The teenager walked to the paddock to feed her horse, with the little chihuahua dogging her footsteps, as always.

The girl took a few stalks of hay off a bale for the horse, and then turned to go back to the house.

Behind her, there was a screech.

Turning to look, she heard a second scream, and then saw the coyote, with the lifeless body of little Meana hanging out of its jaws.

“He nonchalantly trotted off, with our dog in his mouth,” said the teen’s mom, Clara Fawcett.

Fawcett wants other people who live in her area to be aware of the brazen varmint, who shows little fear of man, and who she believes is also responsible for the disappearance of her neighbour’s cat and possibly other pets.

She lives in the Thornhill area, near 102nd Avenue and 256th Street.

Fawcette says the canine is intimidating.

early afternoon, not scared away by noise, and only leaving when he threw rocks at it – a tactic which is actually right out of the Ministry of Environment playbook for dealing with coyotes.

“It floors me that he’s being this brazen.”

She advises people living in the area to keep an eye on their pets, and even their small children.

That might sound alarmist, as coyote attacks on humans are extremely rare, but they are becoming more frequent in recent years. There have been two recorded fatal coyote attacks. In 2009, Canadian folk singer Taylor Mitchell was fatally attacked by three coyotes while hiking.

In most cases of coyote attacks on humans, the animals lost their fear of man because they were being fed. It is an offence to feed

dangerous wildlife, including coyotes.

The SPCA advises: If confronted by a coyote: yell, stamp your feet, look big, wave your arms and scare the coyote away. Kids, especially, need to know this.

The agency also advises people living in areas frequented by coyotes to minimize their pets’ interaction and attraction to them, by having them spayed or neutered.

The Conservation Officer Service advises that children should not be left unsupervised if a coyote is in the area.

Those concerned with an aggressive coyote are advised to keep a “deterrent” handy, and this could be rocks, sticks, banging pots and pans, pepper spray, or tin cans filled with rocks.

Waving your arms, shouting in an aggressive voice and throwing rocks are all recommended as ways to ward off a coyote. Never turn your back, and never run from an aggressive coyote, says the Ministry of Environment’s website. That is what wildlife experts believe was Taylor Mitchell’s fatal mistake.

Fawcette has goats, chickens and pets, and doesn’t want the coyote making a meal out of any more of the animals at the property. She has talked with a trapper, who said he can legally help her, but not until it’s open season on coyotes, on Sept. 10.

he deed is done, on 24 April 1914 by Order in Council this community became a municipality and was free to call itself the District of Pitt Meadows. What came next?

Well, on Monday 4 May 4 at 12 o’clock noon the first meeting of the Municipal Council was held in the Number One School House building at the corner of Harris and Hammond Roads, and, with returning officer W. J. Park present, the reeve and councilors as “elected” were “duly sworn in”. John Blaney, a two time Maple Ridge reeve, served as Pitt Meadows’ first reeve and councillors were W.R. McMyn, W. Reid, W. Richardson, R.H. Sharpe and Roland Thompson.

The council went right to work and passed the following resolutions: that W.J. Park act as clerk for the meeting; that all declaration papers and other election correspondence be filed; that W. J. Park be appointed clerk to the municipality at a salary of $50 per month; that the finance committee be empowered to borrow from the Bank of Hamilton at Hammond money to cover temporary expenses; that the clerk enquire as to the cost of incorporation and regarding revenue of the district; that the reeve and councillor Reid and Thompson, and the clerk be a delegation to Victoria regarding municipal matters; that the school account, $256.09, be arranged for at the bank; that the clerk be instructed to write to Ottawa regarding wharf at the end of Harris Road to get Douglas and Menzies in touch with the outside… The council also gave notice (as the rules of order) of a number of bylaws including road tax, solicitor’s appointment, introduction of industries, licences, temporary loan, common seal, and more. The group also appointed the finance committee - Reid and Thompson and the works and health committee - all councillors.

When all was done, the meeting adjourned with the date to reconvene as 2 p.m. on May 16. Short, pragmatic and quick and then the reeve, councillors and clerk likely left their unpaid service in the infant municipality and returned to their farms and businesses to carry on with their livelihoods.

Most of these first council members would sit for a number of years both off and on. John Blaney would take another turn as reeve in 1919 and again for four years between 1926 and 1929 and then again for a portion of 1930.

Roland Thompson would serve on council for part of 1915 and then went off to war and never returned. Clerk W.J. Park became reeve in 1920 and remained in the position for four years. He would return to lead the community through most of the depression and the years

A report now notes that chromium has been found on some parts of the site. According to a district report, that means a new condition, reclaiming soil, must be addressed before the district can file its own application to exclude land on the east side of 105th Avenue.

Council will wait until staff get clarification from the commission on what it must do to improve soil conditions.

Hogarth said he was “taken aback” by the decision and surprised to hear that the district now must repair damage to soil, resulting from improper drainage in the area, before it can apply for a block exclusion of land on the east side of 105th Avenue.

“Enough is enough here.

“What they allowed to happen in Pitt Meadows …we’ve been hog tied by the commission,” he said at Monday’s workshop meeting.

In addition to getting more information, council also agreed to request a meeting with Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm so council can explain how the decision is affecting Maple Ridge. @ For more on this, see mapleridgenews.com

newsroom@mapleridgenews.com

One of Broadway’s most famous musicals hits the stage saturday, Aug. 31 for only two shows

by T i m Fitzg e r ald contributor

E

veryone has their favourite song from the hit movie Grease, whether they want to admit it or not.

There’s no denying the love of the music for the cast of the Odeum Theatre Society as they prepare to stage the iconic play at the ACT on Saturday, August 31 with the help of the Ridge Meadows Orchestra.

For anyone who has seen the 1978 movie Grease featuring John Travolta and Olivia Newton John, all you have to do is simply pick a tune and somewhere, in the crowded rehearsal room, you’re sure to find a cast member humming a bar.

The infectious energy the actors display during rehearsal carries over to the down time. Between rehearsing for scenes, a small groups of actors cast as T-Birds, clad in denim, white T-shirts and greased-back hair, break out into song. They’re not necessarily preparing for the next scene, rather just belting out lyrics from one of their favourite from the dozen or so numbers that are part of the Grease folklore.

In one group, Trevor McDonnell and Wyatt Plume work on their accents while singing the “Summer Nights.”

Both young actors are completely uninhibited in their mannerisms, displaying the teenage angst that drives the story line.

“We knew most of the songs before we even came to the audition,” laughs McDonnell, who plays Roger, a T-Bird and self-described funny man. “So many people know the story. It’s one of those plays where it’s just so easy to get into character.”

Judging by the grease in his hair, McDonnell won’t have any trouble on opening night. Plume is the same. He and McDonnell trade punches to the arm and jump on each other’s back like a pair of pent-up school kids desperately waiting for the end of the school day.

“It was a different time, everyone acted different,” explains Plume. “It’s over-dramatized guyisms. It’s a chance for us to goof around and just have fun.”

There’s certainly no shortage of that as Clark Sehaufele keeps an eye on rehearsals. As the music director for Odeum Theatre, Sehaufele is also the theatre company’s rehearsal pianist. It’s been his job to help ensure their unbridled enthusiasm is channelled appropriately.

He said it’s one thing to know the music, it’s another to be able to deliver on such a popular Broadway production.

Grease made it’s debut in New York on February 14, 1972 and earned seven Tony

One of Broadway’s most popular productions, the expectations are also higher when the play is produced. People have a connection to the characters before the curtain even rises.

Sehaufele is confident the cast at Odeum can deliver.

“They want to put on a great show because they know everyone else is familiar with the play,” said Sehaufele, who recently completed his Master’s degree in music from the University of Montreal. “The expectation levels with this play is probably higher than most.”

He said his job is channeling the energy so he can teach the intricacies of the music so that they can give a satisfying performance. Sehaufele said part of that is motivation and part coaching.

“This is probably the sharpest group we’ve had in the six years since we’ve been in Maple Ridge. In the first few days I was almost at a loss for what to do because the cast had learned all their songs so quickly.

We were miles ahead of where we normally are when we first get together. Usually I have to keep on drilling and drilling, but this year, they learned right away.”

Their ability to pick up the lines and songs so quick also helps with the fact that they crammed their rehearsals into a two

week period before opening night at the ACT. “Most of these kids are doing this because they love to act and they have fun being here,” reflected Sehaufele. “They aren’t in music or acting lessons, they just keep coming back year after year because it’s a chance to perform.”

Kayla Cameron serves as the theatre director and choreographer for Odeum and said the familiarity of the play has allowed everyone involved to get past the awkward early stages in rehearsals where they are trying to define their characters. She said they knew them before they even opened to page one.

“Everyone has just jumped in and embraced their roles and have had fun with it, said Cameron. “They’ve been able to ham it up and get into character right away. It’s been fun, for sure.”

The team traded for the rights to 18-yearold forward Maclean Hewitt from the Aldergrove Kodiaks, in exchange for future considerations.

Hewitt, who lists Maple Ridge as his hometown, joined the Kodiaks last season and notched an impressive 17 goals in 36 regular season games.

Ewart on target at bantam championship Local junior golfers among the best

A.J. Ewart of the Pitt Meadows Golf Club led the B.C. Bantam Championship after the first round.

The next generation of competitive golfers in B.C. will have some strong roots in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

The Pitt Meadows Golf Club’s A.J. Ewart holds a one stroke lead in the Bantam Boys’ Championship with one

Contributed

round remaining in the event at the Qualicum Beach Memorial Golf Club.

Ewart, a 14-year-old from Coquitlam and the 2011 Bantam Boys’ champion, made a strong case to become a repeat champion, opening with a two-underpar 68 in gusty conditions on the tree-lined par-70 Qualicum Beach Memorial Golf Club layout.

This opening tally leaves him one-stroke ahead of two chasing competitors in Tristan Mandur, 14 of Mill Bay and Roy Kang, 14 of North Vancouver. Kang is a member off Swane-set Bay Resort in Pitt Meadows.

Kang and Mandur were the only other players to break par during the day’s first round, carding one-under 69’s in their bid for the 36-hole title featuring British Columbia’s most talented golfers aged 14 and younger.

Swan-e-set Bay golfer Daniel Hyun was sitting in 14th place with a first round of 77.

In the girls’ division, three golfers are logjammed at the top of the leader board. Shooting opening round even-par 70’s were Surrey’s Hannah Lee, Richmond’s Alisha Lau and Nanaimo’s Shirin Anjarwalla.

Cecile Kwon, 13 of Maple Ridge, is in sixth after shooting plus 5 (75) during her first 18-holes. She is also a Swan-e-set member.

Final round action wrapped up on Tuesday.

Juvenile championships

Maple Ridge’s Keanna Mason took second place at the B.C. Juvenile Championships, which wrapped up on Thursday in Courtenay.

Mason, a member of the Pitt Meadows Golf Club, shot 78-73-71222 for plus six, just two shots behind winner Sumie Francois of Burnaby.

Mason, who hadn’t broke 40 on her front nine all week, did exactly what she needed to do to start her final day off, posting a respectable one-over-par 37 to get her round going. She would break par on her back nine for the second day in a row with a two-under-par 34 but would remain a hair shy of Francois for the win.

Her final round 71 was the lowest score on the day in the girls’ division.

Fellow Pitt Meadows Golf Club player Avril Li of Port Moody finished ninth with a score 238 for plus 22 at Crown Isle Resort.

On the boys’ side of the tournament, Swane-set Bay member Henry Lee of Coquitlam finished tied for second with a score of 73-6874-215 for minus one.

Lee was the defending champion.

Pitt Meadows club golfer Noah Guise of Port Moody shot 7676-76-228 for plus 12, which had hit tied for 24th, and A.J., Ewart, playing above his age class, shot 75-75-79229 for plus 13, tied for 26th.
