Staff noticed the copper piping was missing when the crawl space flooded.

theft closes elementary school

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District was forced to close Webster’s Corners elementary on Wednesday after part of its plumbing system was stolen.

Staff for the school – at located at 25554 Dewdney Trunk Rd. – found that thieves went into the crawlspace under the school and stole copper piping. They only realized this after the crawlspace began to flood.

Thieves broke into the crawlspace by cutting the lock off an exterior latch, then got away with approximately 17 metres (50 feet) of one-inch (2.5-centimetre) copper water line.

The line was replaced Wednesday evening, and the school reopened in time for classes on Thursday.

There was no final estimate on the costs of repairs.

The district is looking at measures to better secure the crawlspace, but did not disclose details.

Metal theft, which has seen phone lines stolen and plaques pried off monuments, has been on the wane in recent years. Municipal bylaws and new provincial regulations have created a system in which scrap metal dealers are required to take the name and contact information of someone selling them scrap metal, and report suspicious circumstances to police.

A drop in scrap copper prices also helped curb thefts. It presently sits at about $2.75 per pound.

uttering threats, assault with a weapon and several firearms-related offences.

He has been remanded in custody.

RCMP said McKenna has a criminal record and is known to police.

“This type of incident is not a common occurrence in Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows, and police have treated this file as a top priority since it happened,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop.

“Ridge Meadows RCMP’s Serious Crimes Unit has been working tirelessly on this serious incident

and it has resulted in the arrest of our prime suspect.”

According to police, McKenna was escorted out of the pub by bouncers around 2 a.m. Sept. 29, but returned a short while later and fired a gun into a crowd of people gathered at the entrance.

Two doormen were both injured in their lower legs. Police said they are still recovering from their injuries.

RCMP executed a search warrant to aid the arrest of McKenna and seized several items as evidence.

Service to others, fading away Three local clubs, who exist simply to help, need help

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

H

ad trouble breathing? Maybe you had to go to the Ridge Meadows Hospital intensive care ward and were hooked up to the Optiflow Kit to stabilize your breathing.

Then thank the Kiwanis Club of Golden Ears. The service club donated to $6,422 this year to provide a second of those machines for the hospital.

Maybe you had to use the exercise tolerance treadmill in the cardiology department.

Thanks to the Knights of Columbus No. 5566 group, which chipped in $15,000, the cardiology department has one.

The dollars for new hospital equipment though could dry up if the groups that donate to them disappear.

With the older generation passing on and the younger one not following, a manpower shortage in service clubs, whose reason to exist is to serve, is reducing money available, and threatening the clubs’ futures.

“The fundraising opportunities haven’t been that great over the past couple of years because we don’t have a lot of people to do it,” said Eric Phillips, with the Maple Ridge Fraternal Order of Eagles for the past nine years.

“We’re not getting the people we used to.”

In the past, the Eagles would raise about $30,000 yearly, allowing generous donations to the Christmas Hamper Society, scouts and girl guides, the Ridge Meadows Hospice Society, or for bursaries, so high school grads could get some help with university tuition.

Last year, the Eagles raised $10,000. While the club has a membership of 55, only a dozen or so show up for the twice monthly meetings at the Eagles Hall on Fern Crescent.

The building itself is at testament to the good the Eagles do. The group took over the mortgage on the building and leased it back to scouts and cubs at affordable rates.

While the loss of funds from the Haney Bingo Plex, has also hurt, many of the Eagle members are in their 80s and can’t get to meetings and events. “They’re getting quite elderly. I’m one of the young ones there and I’m 66.”

Simple demographics hurts the club. An aging population means fewer younger people in the 30s and 40s following behind.

“That’s the same thing that all the groups are suffering from now is age, and a greater reluctance from the younger set to get involved.

“Within that group, there’s more reluctance to pitch in and give their time.”

Many just want to help with their

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Eric Phillips of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, says it’s difficult to attract new members to local service clubs; Femmie Gibson, of the Maple Ridge Lions Club, collects old eyeglasses for its recycling program.

kids’ minor sports activities and leave it at that. Commuting long distances to work is another excuse.

Phillips says the Maple Ridge Branch No. 88 of the Royal Canadian Legion is going through the same thing.

As vets die off, no one is following along.

“My personal opinion is, young people don’t want to do anything anymore. They don’t seem to want to come out and get involved,” Phillips said.

“It’s good to be involved in your community.”

The Lions and the Kiwanis clubs are in the same predicament, while Fraser Health is looking for 30 volunteers to help seniors in Baillie House Residential Care at Ridge Meadows Hospital.

Membership in the Maple Ridge Lions Club, in its 69th year, has dropped from 100 to 40, said president Femmie Gibson.

She says today’s lifestyle makes it tough to find time to help. Parents are too involved with their kids – driving them here and there, and supervising activities – to do much else. Cellphones and computers drain away more time that could be given to the community.

Gibson said the Lions focus on helping individuals, sick kids who need help, or disabled kids who need hearing aids, therapy or visits to children’s camps.

Lions also send money to relief agencies around the world.

As well, Lions pay $10,000 (although it gets sponsorship assistance) for the fireworks show that takes place every year at Ghost

Ridge Haunted House at Albion fairgrounds.

But the Lions fundraising concession booth set up at Ghost Ridge during its five days requires six or seven volunteers.

You used to be able to count on 10 newcomers a year. Now Gibson would be happy with one.

“We’re part of a huge organization that provides relief … for all over the world.”

Gibson says anybody, if they can, should volunteer. Belonging to the Lions club requires attending two meetings a month, providing the member has the time.

In return for giving time and efforts, the payback is worth it.

“I think it’s important to note how rewarding it is.

“Sometimes [after helping someone] it just brings tears to your eyes.”

The Kiwanis Club of Golden Ears, with only 10 or 11 members left, and three or four of those older than 80, is facing the largest challenge.

“It’s sad that service clubs that run different programs for adults and children are being curtailed for lack of membership,” said Kiwanis member Harvey Moore, 92, who attends twice-a-month meetings.

“We’re fighting really hard to stay above ground.

“Who knows, it could feasibly disappear in a year or two if the older members are unable to carry on.”

Moore says all groups are facing the same story.

“We’re all suffering.

“It’s just that younger people are living a different lifestyle from what we used to live.

“The older generation, were out

to help each other and help those who needed help, and the younger ones are just too busy to give their time to work in that regard.”

“My personal opinion is, young people don’t want to do anything anymore. They don’t seem to want to come out and get involved.”

The Kiwanis raise money and donate it to parent groups at local elementary and secondary schools, and to the Ridge Meadows Hospital, and to food programs at the Salvation Army. They also sponsor bursaries to help kids coming out of high school with the first few years of post-secondary studies.

For Moore, who’s been a Kiwanis member for 50 years, there’s no intent in stepping back.

“If the older members drop out, a lot of these service clubs would just evaporate.

“We’ll keep going as long as we have air in our lungs, and if the good Lord looks after us, we’ll do what we can.”

Memorial vandalized after verdict Families of young couple killed make plea for appeal

by Monisha M ar t ins staff reporter

The cross that marks the spot where a young couple was killed three years ago has been snapped in half.

Korina De Oliviera found both pieces of wood discarded on the ground.

The piece engraved with her step-son John’s

name was tossed to one side.

“I put that cross up,” said John De Oliviera Sr., the young man’s father. “It’s been there for three years and nobody has touched it.”

Now it’s broken.

“Somebody grabbed it and sheared it right off.

It’s disgraceful.”

De Oliviera intends to replace the wooden cross with a stainless steel one.

Rebecca ‘Beckie’ Dyer, 19, and her boyfriend, Johnny De Oliveira Jr., 21, were killed around midnight Oct. 19. 2010, when a Toyota driven

by Andelina Hecimovic skidded sideways over a concrete median, flipped over and landed on top of their Suzuki Swift.

The couple, returning home from a Justin Beiber concert, died instantly.

Hecimovic, now 26, was charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death,

Colleen Flanagan/the news

The roadside memorial in Pitt Meadows was vandalized after the video was posted to YouTube. but was acquitted two weeks ago, following a week-long trial.

Although Hecimovic was speeding and ran a red light while driving in a right-turn-only lane, the judge found her actions were “simple carelessness,” not criminal.

The not-guilty verdict was devastating for both

the De Oliveira and Dyer family.

They want Crown to appeal the judgement and have since recorded a video to drum up public support for a letter-writing campaign targeting the federal and provincial justice ministries.

“We don’t’ feel that there was any justice,” said Debbie Dyer, Beckie’s mother.

“We want people to be upset and mad at the verdict and write their MPs and MLAs and the ministers.”

The roadside memorial at the corner of Harris Road and Lougheed Highway was vandalized soon after the video, titled Lack of Justice, was posted on YouTube.

“I can’t believe someone would do something like that,” said Dyer.

Drug house busted again Police seize meth, crack, heroin, arrest eight people Police seized an assortment of illegal drugs on Wednesday from a house in downtown Maple Ridge that’s been busted several times before.

Ridge Meadows RCMP’s Street Enforcement Unit executed a search warrant at the home in the 11600 block of 224 Street just before noon.

The house, located next to TAGGS medical marijuana dispensary, was the site of a meth lab explosion in 2011 and a second meth-related accident in 2012, when a tenant was burned by chemicals.

Oxycontin, methamphetamine, heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana and cash linked to drug dealing were seized by police this time. Officers also found a gun inside the house.

Eight people who were inside the house were arrested but later released.

Police are recommending charges

under the Controlled Drug and Substance Act against four of the eight persons who were arrested.

The home now has a ‘No Occupancy’ order in place on request of the Maple Ridge Fire Department and bylaw officials.

Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said all suspects will make their court appearances at a later date.

Public Hearing Notice TAKE NOTICE THAT a Public Hearing will be held in the Council Chamber of the Municipal Hall, 11995 Haney Place, Maple Ridge, North-East corner entrance, at 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, October 15, 2013, to consider the following bylaws: 1a) 2012-057-RZ MAPLE RIDGE OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDING BYLAW NO. 7020-2013 LEGAL: Lot 1, Section 27, Township 12, New Westminster District, Plan 11128 LOCATION: 12933 Mill Street PURPOSE: To amend Figures 2 and 3D of the Official Community Plan as shown on Map No. 860.

FROM: Conservation TO: Medium Density Residential AND PURPOSE: To amend Figure 4 of the Official Community Plan as shown on Map No. 861 to remove from Conservation.

‘Gun violence rare in Ridge, Pitt’ Arrest from front

Insp. Dave Fleugel, the officer-incharge of Ridge Meadows RCMP, said investigators were determined to identify and arrest a suspect quickly.

“These high-profile crimes shock the community,” said Fleugel. “Our investigators take these cases very seriously.”

He noted that gun violence is rare in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

Police also commended the Haney Public House for supporting Ridge

Meadows Barwatch program, which was revived in April 2011.

“The Haney has been a robust partner,” said Fleugel.

“Our investigation points to the suspect being removed from the bar for unacceptable behaviour early in the evening. That’s exactly what we want liquor establishments to do. The bar did what we expected them to do, so it’s really unfortunate that there was an alleged retaliation.”

Deeper cuts B.C. Education Minister Peter Fassbender needs to shake his head.

School board trustees around the province are now in scramble mode, trying to come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars, even millions each to cover the costs of the 3.5 per cent raise over two years CUPE employees just earned in their negotiations with the provincial government.

They already when through this earlier this year, making cuts to eliminate a deficit, bringing some in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to visible tears.

Now the latter need to cut about $500,000 more a year because of the CUPE deal.

Fassbender says school boards protesting this extra cost – including Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows, which has written a letter to the provincial government expressing its dismay – should have known it was coming.

He also said he believes some school boards wanted to wait to make larger cuts, hoping the NDP would win the May 14 provincial election.

We believe it’s fair to assume an NDP government would have settled a deal with their union friends in CUPE for at least the same amount the Liberals managed.

Is Fassbender suggesting an NDP government would have found some other pot of money to cover the increased costs to local districts?

Is he also saying that’s what local school boards were banking on?

Perhaps Fassbender is smarter than we give him credit for.

Maybe he purposely offered the slight against the school boards and raised the May 14 election as a way to deflect people from the real issue: the flawed funding formula for K-12 education.

Remember, entire school boards, the people you elected, can be fired if they don’t submit a balanced budget.

They were brought to tears last time. This time, trustees say the cuts will be felt in classrooms.

Deluded if you think crime rate down T

he recent shooting of two doormen at the Haney Public House calls into question RCMP and federal law enforcement official claims that crime rates are on a downward trend.

It reminds me of Mark Twain’s famous Sidewinder quote: “There are Sandy Macdougall three kinds of lies – lies, damned lies and statistics.”

I am not suggesting that the RCMP would lie about crime rates, but I do question how the statistics are gathered and reported.

Even Maple Ridge Coun. Bob Masse was quoted last year as saying there has been a significant downturn in the social dynamic of the downtown area.

I think the good councilor was indicating that the crime rate in the downtown area is not declining.

There are still significant numbers of sex trade workers and their drug peddling pimps wandering our downtown streets in the wee hours of the morning. A casual observer might even conclude that there has been an increase in the number of sex trade workers, their dependent pimps and assorted other drug users.

Significant numbers of petty crimes go unreported because many victims feel the police are unable to do much to prevent or solve these crimes.

Q

uestion of the week:

Because many of these incidents are not reported, they are not included in the compilation of crime statistics, leading some deluded folks into thinking the crime rate is declining.

It reminds me of how municipal hall, many years ago, responded to complaints about serious traffic problems on Fern Crescent. In short, this topic was discussed frequently, but, in the end, little or nothing was done.

Eventually, the number of complaints dwindled and council members thought they had solved a serious problem.

At that time, when I suggested this to a Fern Crescent resident, he responded that we had not solved anything. It was simply that, due to a lack of response, many residents ceased complaining.

Curiously enough, in the intervening years, not much more has been done and traffic problems continue to fester on Fern Crescent. To be sure, discussions have been held with provincial and regional authorities, but no real progress has been made. Typically, municipal council can show you lots of plans and give you great assurances that they are working assiduously on the problem, but I won’t believe them until they show us some blacktop.

Despite claims by the RCMP that crime is declining, few people living in the downtown area have noticed any improvement. The general vicinity of 222nd Street and Lougheed Highway continues to be a no-go zone at night for elderly neighbourhood residents.

And despite all the money municipal

Should Maple Ridge have municipal garbage pickup?

Yes: 74% – No: 26%

hall has spent on blacktop and fancy trees in the downtown area, the main beneficiary seems to be neighbourhood dogs, who use the trees to their best advantage.

Council members seem completely at a loss in how to solve downtown crime problems, as evidenced by the direction given over a year ago to staff to ‘go away’ and come back with answers.

If any answers have been forthcoming, they remain a secret.

Sadly, council members seem entirely bereft of ideas or approaches on how to improve livability for existing residents in the downtown area.

Eventually, the number of complaints dwindled and council members thought they had solved a serious problem.

Fancy trees and landscaping look nice, but accomplish little for downtown livability except to improve the esthetics of the approach to the new casino. Much the same is true for the million-dollar bike path to nowhere, between Laity and 216 Streets on the Lougheed Highway.

With more than $20 million spent every year on policing, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows are not getting good value for their money.

School boards used as whipping post Editor, The News: Re: School boards knew of CUPE costs, minister says.

School trustees are required to submit a balanced budget.

After much analysis, adjustment and tough cuts, they were able to accomplish this task.

The provincial government then negotiates an agreement with CUPE that will require the local school district to cover an additional cost of around $1 million.

I would encourage our board, and all other boards, to reject the CUPE contract on the grounds of inability to pay.

The provincial government must cover the cost incurred.

I would also encourage the board to vote the same way on any agreement with the BCTF, unless it is funded by the province.

School boards are between a rock and a hard place and should refuse to be the whipping post for the provincial government underfunding public education.

Remembering Chad Editor, The News: Re: Pedestrian killed by car on Lougheed (The News, Oct. 2).

I was saddened to learn of the passing of one of my son’s childhood friends this past week, and he hasn’t been far from my mind since.

As kids, Chad Hallworth and my son, Jon Benedictson, had two bonding passions – hockey and fishing.

Chad was a skilled hockey player with a zest for the game and an avid fisherman. I never could understand the lure of fishing (no pun intended); hours of standing around, in all kinds of weather, waiting for a bite, or not.

But my son and Chad would spend hours at the river.

Beside the joy of actually catching a fish, they seemed to find peace and solace in

Shifting blame Editor, The News: Re: School boards knew of CUPE costs, minister says.

In B.C., no more settlements by a government who then expects the local school boards to provide these raises from existing funds.

The one’s with the money should pay for the raise it approved.

What we have is a ridiculous method that makes no sense and shifts the blame for cuts.

The provincial government is good a shifting blame.

online comments Lower damn tolls • Steve Laszcz · Capilano University: Re: Bridge still ‘underperforming.’

It is unfortunate that TransLink considers the current toll reasonable. It is at least five times higher than it should be; $0.75 or a loonie per crossing is all it should be for the next 15 years. But, no, the profit-motivated ideology won the day. Lower the damn tolls.

‘Hillbilly Highway’ • Gerard Kavanagh: Re: Garbage collection debate stifled.

What a sad sack town. Even small communities like Winfield and Oyama have garbage pickup, recycling, and green waste pickup. But not us.

Change the name of our roads to ‘Hillbilly Highway’ and ‘Redneck Way.’

this pastime.

Not so long ago, and one of the last times I saw Chad, he was hiking up from the river with his fishing rod on his shoulders.

Every now and then, throughout the years, I would get a phone call from Chad. He called me when he heard of my husband’s passing, and sometimes he called just to ask how I was or to say ‘hi’.

From the little he told me, I know Chad fell into a troubled adult life. But I will always remember him as that kid who was looking for his next big goal or his next big catch. It was a time when life seemed simpler.

For those who never knew Chad, and for those who did, I hope these old newspaper clipping helps tell how I will remember him.

Public should have a say on garbage pickup Editor, The News: Re: Roadblocks to garbage pickup (Letters, Oct. 2).

I just think that the general public should have a say in the decisions that council seems to assume is its decision alone.

We are not children who need our superiors protecting us from dangerous waters. We are upstanding citizens who pay our bills and taxes, which pay for council’s help to do what is in the best interest for us all.

To deny a free estimate to find the real cost of this service is as much as saying.

‘We, the council, do not want this service to become a reality.’

Anyone who thinks their taxes will go up $370 a year is in dreamland.

If we pooled the cost, it would be much less than I am presently paying, which is just that and going up about three times a year.

I have at least four trucks a week passing my home for paid garbage collection, some of which have to travel here from

out of town.

The smell and noise can be annoying, to say the least.

Do they not realize that everyone’s garbage could go out once a week and then it’s over till next time.

There are children playing and walking to school and dog walkers on streets with no sidewalks and all these garbage trucks running around. Every one has to dodge them or wait until they have passed by. It’s just not safe.

Port Coquitlam has had garbage collection for 50 years, back when that city had 3,000 residents. I know, I lived there. And don’t tell me to go back.

I’m all for progression.

Diana Briere Maple Ridge

Pick up the phone Editor, The News: Re: Roadblocks to garbage pickup (Letters, Oct. 2).

I do not understand why some Maple

Ridge citizens are so stuck on having municipal garbage collection. I know people like to think of the government taking care of them, but in this case it is quite simple and not worth the debate.

If you want your garbage collected, then pick up the phone and call one of the private enterprises who would be very happy to provide the service at quite a reasonable cost. Why would I want to channel more of my money through the municipal office where, even if they sub-contract to the very company I currently hire, it will cost me more than what I pay now due to administration and inefficiencies.

And if the town were to take over garbage collection and increase taxes accordingly, citizens will not be able to opt out.

I like to have choices and I like to have as much control over my money as possible.

When I pay my waste disposal bill every quarter, I know my money is going to just that purpose and not into the black hole of the municipal coffers.

Chilliwack school district: a missed opportunity

I

t would be too easy to dismiss the concern raised by students who were expelled from their high school last week after admitting they smoked marijuana at an out-of-town soccer meet.

“Serves ’em right.”

“They had it coming.”

“Do the crime, pay the fine.”

And yet that trenchant response fails the student community, and denies school administrators the opportunity to use discretion in assessing and arbitrating student conduct.

“Zero tolerance” is a popular

phrase. It’s pulled out whenever we want to express our collective anger over behaviour we want changed. It demonstrates the kind of fortitude that plays well in a 10-second sound bite.

But it is a blunt instrument that attempts to apply simple solutions to complicated issues.

The students expelled from Sardis secondary last week offer a case in point. (Parents call for flexibility in punishment policy, Progress, Oct. 1.)

Their parents agree there must be consequences. The teenagers

will be punished at home, and they should be punished at school.

What they question is an arbitrary expulsion, without consideration of mitigating factors so common in our own legal system: prior offenses, personal character, opportunities for change.

These are fundamental precepts of sentencing. Some may disagree with them, but those who do forget that courts are not there simply to exact punishment, but to educate and encourage rehabilitation.

To be clear, the students were never caught smoking marijuana.

They admitted to it later when confronted.

They could have done what politicians and professional athletes have Commentary taught them Greg Knill over the years: deny, deny, deny.

But they didn’t. They took responsibility for their stupidity and braced for the consequences.

What they learned was that hon-

esty matters little.

And that’s the collateral implication of uncompromising policies.

True, they provide a tidy response, and paint the world in convenient blacks and whites, regardless of the circumstance.

What they fail to do, however, is offer the flexibility to craft solutions that can turn a bad decision by one into a lesson for many.

What the students did was wrong.

But the response was a surrendered opportunity, forced by a policy that needs changing.

Request for Expressions of Interest FAMILY–FRIENDLY OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY, MAPLE RIDGE, BC Project: RFEI-ED13-67 Economic Development

The District of Maple Ridge is seeking expressions of interest from qualified experienced Firms or Individuals that have demonstrated a specific and relevant competency in the design, construction and management of destination-style, family friendly businesses, the opportunity for consideration for the potential development and management of a family-friendly outdoor recreational activity to be located on District-owned land in the vicinity of Golden Ears Provincial Park and to select a short list of Respondents to respond to a more detailed Request for Proposals “RFP” process.

If you are interested in this opportunity, the full details may be obtained by downloading the RFEI document which is available from BC Bid at www.bcbid.ca.

Clearly marked submission packages should be delivered to the undersigned by 2:00 pm (PST) Friday, November 22, 2013. However the District may, entirely at its discretion, consider submissions that arrive after this time.

The minister is on a celebratory tour of B.C. to mark Community Living Month, but the celebrations don’t include any increase to welfare rates.

Income assistance rates, and disability assistance rates were last set in 2007 and haven’t increased since, and there’s no raise expected any time soon.

“Not in the near future,” Social Development and Social Innovation Minister Don McRae said Wednesday in Maple Ridge.

McRae said the message he heard during the spring’s election was “taxpayers of B.C., they feel they’re tapped out.”

While he realizes people

want increases, “our party [priority] was to balance the budget so we’re not indebting future generations.”

For those on income assistance, the rate for single, employable person remains unchanged at $610 a month. A single, employable parent with one child receives a total of $945 a month.

However, the government last year increased the exemptions that people can earn at a job while collecting disability payments. People with disabilities now can earn $800 a month, up from $500 a month, without it affecting their disability payments.

That sum can be spread out over a year to allow people to take seasonal work, recognizing people with disabilities can’t always work an entire year.

That can help people, added MLA Marc Dalton, saying work can be therapeutic. “It’s the

right direction.”

McRae was on the second day of a monthlong tour of the province for Community Living B.C., the agency that supports people with disabilities.

Earlier in the day, he stopped at the Ridge Meadows Recycling Depot, where Community Living contracts with the recycling depot to provide work for people with disabilities.

That program was in danger of dying before being rescued and funding restored in 2011, before the last election.

Twenty-nine developmentally disabled workers, along with three support workers, were to have been laid off after Community Living said it wouldn’t renew the $270,000 contract.

That decision was later reversed, preserving the program.

Later Wednesday, McRae stopped at the Salvation Army Caring Place

Shelter in downtown Maple Ridge. The meeting involved a tour of the emergency shelter beds and 15 transitional housing beds, as well as an inspection of the kitchen, where 100,000 meals are served annually.

“We’re at a prominent point in the town, which can be a good thing and a bad thing,” said chef Tim Sarsfield.

But the emphasis is on community awareness.

“People are aware of what we do here.”

Salvation Army worker Mike Emery said the centre has guidelines for how it operates, but those are flexible because the centre does deal with people.

About a third of the people staying at The Caring Place are from out of town, Emery said.

“It’s a touchy issue, for sure.

“We do see people from Vancouver. We do see people from Surrey, all over. It’s a transient lifestyle.”

Bed bugs and more plague apartment

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

T

hinking about the beg bugs brings Laura Ceklanovic to tears. She’s shudders when she imagines them crawling all over her bed, burrowing into her furniture and eating her three-year-old son alive.

“Everything I own in the whole world is gone,” she says, choking back tears as she speaks about an ordeal that began Friday.

The single mom and her son live at the Sunrise Apartments, 22260 122 Avenue, a building managed by Amacon Properties that’s been plagued by a beg bug infestation since 2012.

Ceklanovic has rented at the Sunrise for the past two years, first living in a one-bedroom suite and eventually moving into her current two-bedroom unit on the third floor.

She claims she asked the property manager about bedbugs before she moved into her new suite, but was told the problem had been eradicated.

It wasn’t until her son awoke one night itching violently that she figured something was amiss.

A dog was brought in by Amacon to sniff out the bedbugs last Friday.

Ceklanovic, who has a phobia of bugs, fled to a shelter that night.

“There was no way I was going to spend another night there,” she said. “I’m never going back. I’m not putting my son at risk.”

Ceklanovic is moving out, but has to abandoned nearly all her possessions as she does not want to truck the bedbugs to her new home.

She’s already paid $700 of the $875 she owes in rent and won’t be getting any of the money back.

Because she still owes Amacon $175, they’ve given her a 10-day eviction notice. Since she’s on disability, she doesn’t even have money to

Sunrise Apartments has had repeated problem for almost two years but tenants, such as Cassandra Korchinski, claim little has been done to fix it. launder all her beg-bug infested clothes.

She’s asked Amacon for tokens to use the laundry, said the company refused.

She’s called Fraser Health, but was told bed bugs are not considered a public health problem.

“I can’t believe it. This is not just a pest anymore. It’s ruining people’s lives,” Ceklanovic said. “I’ve never dealt with anything like this before. It’s torn my life upside down and there’s no help from anybody” A suite next to Ceklanovic was sprayed last week for bed bugs, for the fifth time in two years.

To Cassandra Korchinski, the plight of her neighbours is unfair. The young mom, with a three-month-old and five-year-old, is determined to get authorities to fix the Sunrise

Apartments, although she’s moving out.

“Everyone else is too scared to speak up because they have nowhere else to go,” says Korchinski.

Bed bugs aren’t the only problem afflicting tenants. Korchinski list a litany of complaints: mice; mould; a lobby that floods when it rains; soot staining the walls from a fire in August; and exhaust fans that don’t work. Her children were bitten by fleas when she moved in eight months ago, although she doesn’t have any pets.

Korchinski said she had to pay to fumigate her suite herself.

Her complaints were backed up by two neighbours who asked to remain anonymous because they fear they’ll be targeted for eviction.

“I’m living out of bags,” said one neighbour, whose suite has been sprayed several times.

Her cats have caught several mice.

Korchinski believes her baby, Layla-Rose, has a respiratory infection from living in the mouldy apartment. She’s moved her children to her mom’s house at the request of a nurse.

“It’s affecting my children,” she said.

“Something has to be done. They need to move everyone out, put them up in a hotel, spray the building and then fix all the other problems.”

Amacon Properties, however, believes the complaints about Sunrise Apartments are unfounded.

Although Ceklanovic’s suite is currently infested with bed bugs, David Sutherland, vicepresident of residential properties for Amacon, insists the building has been bed-bug free for the past seven months.

“We’ve done a sweep with the dogs maybe a month ago,” Sutherland said, adding the complaints are probably coming from disgruntled tenants who are facing eviction for drug use and non-payment of rent.

As for moving people out and fumigating the building, Sutherland noted the pest control experts have not recommended that.

“The tenants don’t have expertise in that field.

We’ll leave the expertise up to the pest control company,” he added.

He believes those same disgruntled tenants are posting advertisements on Craigslist, advising people not to rent at the Sunrise and neighbouring Sorrento Apartments.

The District of Maple Ridge, meanwhile, has been fielding complaints from tenants and were set to inspect the building on Thursday.

The district’s standard of maintenance bylaw, though, says nothing about pest control, unlike similar bylaws in New Westminster and Vancouver, which stipulate rental properties need to be free of all vermin, such as bed bugs, cockroaches and mice.

Bylaws director Liz Holitzki said she will look into the matter and consult the district’s solicitors before recommending a bylaw amendment. It could be months or longer before pest control is added to the bylaw.

This year, the message was the importance of donor milk. Maple Ridge was the first to implement the Baby Friendly Initiative for Fraser Health. Women are screened, then all milk collected is sent to the B.C. Women’s Milk Bank, where it is processed, pooled and pasteurized. A portion of that milk is then sent back to Maple Ridge. Since the project began at Ridge Meadows Hospital, breastfeeding rates have increased from 71 per cent to 89, while 6,000 ounces of milk have been donated.

Maple Ridge MP gets message, slashes budget

604.820.2025

®

MPs have heard the message and are trimming some of the fat

from their own expenses, to do their part to cut the $26-billion federal deficit.

It’s a trend that’s caught on with all MPs across party lines, says

Family.

A word from the

local representative Randy Kamp, who’s slashed his own spending by more than a quarter.

Last year, the MP for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission spent an overall amount of $494,000, for office salaries and expenses, travel and advertising.

That compares to $360,969 for the fiscal year ending this March 31.

The figures come from Members Expenditures Reports, recently released on the House of Commons website.

“My total is quite a bit lower than last year. Everybody is doing things a little bit differently.”

MPs now use flight passes, books of tickets which can be bought in advance, instead of

buying tickets individually.

“I think I’ve probably flown a bit less than I did in other years, maybe stayed in Ottawa a few more weekends instead of coming Kamp back every weekend. We tried to spend less on printing than we did in other years, sending out fewer mailings.”

Kamp said he’s compared his expenses with other New Democratic MPs in the area and says his numbers look good.

“I think I’m in pretty good shape compared to them.

“In my case, it was down considerably

from last year.”

With the government trying to reduce its $26-billion deficit, MPs felt they should do the same.

Ac c o r d i n g to the Members Expenditure Reports, which covers the fiscal year which ends March 31, Kamp’s total expenses rang in at $360,969.

That’s about $133,000 less than the year before.

MPs have agreed to try to pare their spending are part of an attempt to reduce the overall House of Commons budget.

We’re becoming more transparent: Kamp Kamp from p12

“I think that’s good news for taxpayers.

“We kind of made the effort to do it. It’s good news for taxpayers.”

Kamp spent $19,445 in travel, with another $13,835 spent on his wife’s travel, with both amounts totalling $33,280. Kamp’s wife Ruth occasionally accompanies him to Ottawa.

On the other side of the Pitt River however, NDP MP Fin Donnelly’s (New Westminster-Coquitlam) overall expenses are ringing in almost 25 per cent higher than Kamp’s.

Donnelly, who is fishery critic for the West Coast, had a total expense bill of $446,553, compared to Kamp’s total expenses of $360,969.

Peter Julian, shadow critic for Energy and Natural Resources, spent $120,633 on travel.)

Kamp’s total office expenses rang in at $293,741, which added to the $67,227 covered by the House of Commons budget, produced a total expense of $360,969.

Kamp said we’d welcome closer scrutiny of politicians’ spending, such as itemizing individual expense amounts. “Federally, if they decide to do that, I’m OK with that.”

Both MPs spent similar amounts on hospitality and events, with Kamp spending $5,122 and Donnelly spending $7,866.

Donnelly says though that his spending is about average for an MP.

“I think it’s important that we scrutinize members’ expenses.”

Fin Donnelly, NDP MP Donnelly spent almost three times what Kamp spent on travel, $91,798. The amount includes that for a designated traveller, someone who can accompany an MP. (In Burnaby-New Westminster, NDP MP

“If you compare to other B.C. MPs, I think I come out in the middle of the pack, so I’m not spending the highest and I’m not spending the lowest.

“I think it’s important that we scrutinize members’ expenses.

Divorce It often means more than just the end of a marriage.

You want to see them doing a good job and not spending excessively.”

While Donnelly spent more on advertising ($19,730) than Kamp ($2,661), Donnelly says his advertising is about average for an MP, adding that most of that is spent on local newspapers.

“I feel confident I’m doing a good job getting the word out.”

As an MP, Kamp makes $160,200 a year, plus another $16,000 as parliamentary secretary.

But Donnelly ques-

tioned about the about of expenses Kamp would incur as parliamentary secretary to Fisheries and Oceans Minister Gail Shea.

Those would be reported separately under the Fisheries budget.

But a spokesman for Kamp’s office said those expenditures would be a small percentage of an MP’s expenses.

“We’re certainly going to become more transparent with our expenses as the years goes on. I expect the provincial MLAs to follow that as well,” Kamp said.

Board asking for more money staff reporter

The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District is writing two letters, asking the provincial government for more money.

The frustration of trustees who have faced tough budget decisions was evident in two motions that passed at the Sept. 25 meeting of the board.

First, Trustee Ken Clarkson asked that the board write the education ministry and express dismay and concern that the government has not funded contracts that it has negotiated with employees in the education system. He was referring to the tentative deal between CUPE employees who work as teachers aides, clerical workers, groundskeepers and other support staff in the school system, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, which negotiates for the province.

They will receive and increase of 3.5 per cent over two years in the new deal. Under its cooperative gains mandate, the province is telling school districts they will have to fund the pay raise out of existing budgets, with no increases.

The board would have to make budget cuts of approximately $500,000 per year to get payroll increase into the budget, “We can no longer fool anyone into thinking these cuts will not impact children,” said Clarkson.

After passing a motion by Kathy Marshall, the board will also write government asking that that zero per cent mandate for non-union staff be

Readers will vote for their favourite entry & select entries will also be published in a special Thanksgiving feature in October 11th’s edition of The News.

The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District will be asking the province for almost $1 million to purchase a more efficient climate control system at Westview secondary.

This resulted after a heating and air conditioning review of the mechanical systems at the school by Rocky Point Engineering. The school has 72 natural gas rooftop units, and a large, low-efficiency natural gas fired boiler.

The plan would replace the rooftop units with a more efficient heat pump system. The hot water boiler would be replaced by three new natural gas fired tanks.

The change would result in energy savings of 76 per cent annually, with reductions in both natural gas and electricity used. The estimated savings would be $15,000 per year. It would also reduce the school’s greenhouse gas emissions by 190 tons of carbon dioxide annually, which is a reduction of 85 per cent.

The new system would cost $976,000.

Rocky Point said that given the less efficient system is nearing the end of its life, and will soon need to be replaced, the more expensive and more efficient system will pay for itself in 3.6 years, Rocky Point estimated.

The plan will be forwarded to the Education Ministry as it considers capital funding requests from across the province.

Plans to develop Albion flats off soon to agricultural land commission District just has to fix low-lying areas

by Phil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

Forget about chromium found in some parts of the soil in Albion flats, west of 105th Avenue.

Just worry about showing how to fix the low-lying sections of the area that was sought for development, and

now must remain farmland, following an Agricultural Land Commission decision this summer.

After the commission nixed two private applications to withdraw land from the farm reserve, Maple Ridge district staff were concerned that its own application to remove land on the east side of 105th Avenue could be bogged down by a requirement to remove chromium.

But after checking with the commission, staff learned – forget about it.

Instead, the district only has to fix the drainage and develop a strategy to fix the lowlying areas on the west side that makes it difficult to farm.

Information for the latter is already available, planning manager Christine Carter said in a Sept. 23 report.

Staff are now working on those details and with luck, by year end, the district can file its own block exclusion application for more

Adding

than 100 acres, on behalf of land owners on the east side of 105th Avenue.

Excluding land from the east side to allow retail, recreational and business use is the district’s Plan B for the Albion flats after its efforts to develop all of Albion flats were rejected by the commission.

“I’m hopeful by the end of the year, but that might be pushing it,” said Mayor Ernie Daykin.

The land commission has said it supports non-farm use of land on the east side of 105th Avenue.

That could lead to a speedy decision.

“It could be excluded and away we go.”

Daykin said he realizes that a new shopping mall in Albion flats could affect Maple Ridge’s fragile downtown.

“But I also know there is the potential to keep people home shopping.”

A new shopping mall in Albion flats, however, depends on whether

the District of Maple Ridge can work out a land swap with mall developer SmartCentres.

SmartCentres wants to swap its land on the west side of 105th Avenue, which is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, for the district’s land on the east side of 105th Avenue, which has the preliminary OK for development.

But Daykin agreed, it can’t be simply an acrefor-acre exchange, with developable district land worth more than SmartCentre’s farmland.

“Acre to acre is not the right value.”

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, chromium naturally occurs in rocks, animals, plants and soil, while Chromium 3 is an essential element for people, although it can have moderate toxicity through ingestion.

Chromium 4, however, is considered cancer causing for workers who inhale the compound.

It’s time for the elderly to consider the flu vaccine once again T monia if the respiratory system is challenged.

Again, if the immune system is fighting off a virus, the pneumonia bacteria may well pose a greater threat.

In fact, it is often pneumonia that is the greatest threat once an elderly person becomes bedridden.

The second one to consider is a vaccine for shingles.

After all, when the immune system becomes compromised or preoccupied with fighting off other viral or bacterial agents, the Varicella-Zoster virus, a version of the chicken pox virus, often comes to the forefront.

Shingles is a long and nasty condition that can make life very uncomfortable.

Although not a serious threat to life, the rash and pain that accompanies an attack is very unsettling, disrupts sleep a great deal and can last for years.

If there is one thing we understand about sickness and the elderly, it is that it tends to be like a house of cards.

One condition can

begin a decline in immune response that opens the door for many other conditions.

There may be a variety of opinions about when this cascade of vaccines

should be considered, as health levels and immune system strengths can vary widely.

But as a general rule, if you are over the age of 60, it’s time to seri-

ously consider protecting yourself.

And if you are younger, but have a compromised immune system due to any health conditions,

then you should do the same.

R TARY IS

VICTORIA – Education Minister Peter Fassbender says boards protesting the cost of a 3.5 per cent raise for school support should have known it was coming, but some opted to wait and hope for an NDP government to take over.

Fassbender said in an interview that school trustees have been working with the education ministry for months on “savings plans.” They knew the B.C. Liberal government would not increase budgets to cover

haneyrotary.org • meadowridgerotary.ca

Employees, support staff workers are currently voting on a twoyear tentative agreement that is already more than halfway to expiring next June.

Union locals and boards of education must all vote to ratify the agreement by December for it to take effect. It includes a one per cent raise retroactive to July 1, another two per cent starting Feb. 1 and 0.5 per cent in May 2014.

Districts calculate costs from the deal to be more than $2 million in Vancouver, $700,000 in Chilliwack and proportional amounts in other districts, most of which have already cut services due to declining enrolment.

sick days.

The ministry’s new chief negotiator, Peter Cameron, offered CUPE two per cent raises in each year, as other government workers have received, but the trade-off was to give up accumulating unused sick days.

School support staff and teachers are the last provincial government unions to accept a “cooperative gains” contract. Fassbender and Premier Christy Clark have offered to fund raises for teachers, if they will agree to a long-term settlement.

Fassbender said the expired support staff contracts had to be dealt with first, and new negotiations with CUPE will have to begin soon.

“I think there was some hope on the part of some [trustees] that we would, with our backs to the wall perhaps, come up with additional dollars,” Fasssbender said. “And the other reality, quite honestly, was that up until May 14 there was some anticipation that there was going to be a change of government.”

Two groups of Lower Mainland hospital workers have now

reached new tentative agreements with private firms that perform housekeeping for rmhfoundation health authorities.

Fraser River Pile & Dredge is pleased to present the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation’s 25th Anniversary Fundraising Gala on Saturday, October 19, 2013 at Meadow Gardens Golf Course.

A four-year deal was reached late Tuesday with U.S.-based Aramark, whose 1,300 employees handle housekeeping at 33 facilities in Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health.

The Fraser sites include Royal Columbian, Burnaby and Eagle Ridge hospitals.

The Hospital Employees Union had staged a strike vote last week, but had not yet begun job action.

Most contracted housekeeping and dietary workers at Fraser Health facilities work for French multinational Sodexho, which reached an agreement with the HEU Sept. 15.

Details have not been revealed pending ratification.

Support workers

at B.C. Women’s and Children’s Hospital, the B.C. Cancer Centre and several Vancouver Island facilities have conducted their own strike vote against multinational contractor Compass, with results slated for release today.

The HEU said the main issue in all three sets of talks has been pay – it’s been two years since workers have had a raise.

The HEU said the main issue in all three sets of talks has been pay – it’s been two years

since workers have had a raise.

Hospital support workers who had been paid $18.50 an hour were fired in 2002 when the provincial government enabled widespread privatization by the health authorities to reduce costs.

Firms like Sodexho took over with nonunion workers – often the same ones – and paid them $10 an hour.

The HEU re-certified the non-union workers and negotiated contracts that brought pay back up to $15 an hour by 2011.

The province was also forced to pay compensation to fired workers after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled the 2002 terminations were illegal.

Police badge a gem of a find

the history book never indicated they were part of a small municipal force.

But the badge, professionally done, clearly indicated different.

Four years have passed and part of the process of preparing for the city’s 100th anniversary has included reading minutes from the first year of our municipal council’s work and contained therein is one of the more curious items of business – the establishment of a pound keeper/ constable position.

In September 1914, this position was established on motion from councillors Reid and McMyn and was followed closely by another motion to “procure [a] suitable badge for [the] Police Constable�.

Also recorded in the minutes is the name of the candidate selected for the job, Lindsay Hutchison.

A few months later the constable would also be given the duty of collect-

Pitt Meadows Museum

ing delinquent taxes.

A little later, W.H. Robinson would take on the job, as would E.A. Hellier.

In 1936, the Pitt Meadows constables were replaced with the B.C. Provincial Police force, whose office was in Haney, with constables Hooker and Kelly Irving responsible for policing in this community.

In 1941, Lindsay Hutchison passed away in Port Coquitlam, and in 1950, when the B.C. Provincial Police force ceased to exist, the RCMP took over policing in the area.

The “Pitt Meadows Police� badge is a coup for our small facility, back home almost 100 years after it was first issued, and is proudly displayed alongside a B.C. Police armband and various ARP and Coast Militia Rangers items from our collection.

Leslie Norman is curator at Pitt Meadows Museum.

We’ve been neighbours for 100 years.

Some things just come naturally when you’ve been neighbours as long as we have. Trust, respect for our beautiful environment, and the fresh, pure taste of tradition.

Fresh is never far.™

ne of the wonderful things about working in a museum is that occasionally a gem of an object is brought in for donation and suddenly it feels like Christmas.

One such donation came through our door in the spring of 2009, when a Sunday visitor handed our volunteer on duty his ‘gem,’ thinking it was too Key Stone Cop like to be real.

But it is.

Many years before, this gentleman visited a Surrey secondhand store in search of a prop for a school play his son was in. The prop he needed was a police badge and he actually found one in the store emblazoned with “Pitt Meadows Police.�

After the play, the badge spent many years in a closet in the visitor’s house and was found again during a clean out.

Lucky for us the Golden Ears Bridge had just opened and the free crossing period provided the Surrey resident with an excuse to visit Pitt Meadows and bring the badge in for identification and potential donation.

It was news to us at the museum as we had always thought policing in Pitt Meadows had its earliest roots with the British Columbia Provincial Police, as we had no objects or images that would indicate otherwise and the references to constables in

Stylish living at Woodbridge’s Salix in Surrey

By Kerry Vital

The Clayton Heights neighbourhood is one of Surrey’s most popular areas for families and first-time buyers alike, with its easy access to amenities, shopping, dining and recreation. Now Woodbridge Homes is offering beautiful homes at a great value with its condominium development Salix.

“Sales have been going very well here,” says sales manager Rob Carlsen. “We’re in the final stage of sales now, with a good

variety of homes left.”

The remaining plans are mostly two-bedroom and den plans, ranging from 850 to 1,000 square feet.

The five-storey Georgian-inspired building features a red brick exterior, lush landscaping and classic iron work, and every home includes a patio or balcony. Oversized windows let natural light pour in while the nine-foot ceilings (10 feet on the top and bottom floors) add an incredible sense of space to your new home. Most units feature beautiful views, so you may have

some trouble tearing yourself away from spending all your free time outside taking in the scenery, including Mount Baker.

“The location has been working really well for us,” Carlsen says. “You’re in a small, quiet building that really stands above the crowd.”

Homes start at $219,900. For more information, visit www. salixliving.com, call 604-530-0054 or visit the presentation centre at 6477 196th Street, Surrey, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Submitted photos

Polygon’s Canyon Springs is built in a West Coast style, and features spacious floorplans with gorgeous features such as rich laminate flooring, stainless-steel appliances and engineered stone countertops.

Natural beauty abounds at Canyon Springs

By Kerry Vital

The Lower Mainland is famous for its outdoor lifestyle and variety of recreational activities. Most residents think of the North Shore when they want to get outside. Now, Polygon is bringing outdoor living and gorgeous homes together with Canyon Springs, its new collection of apartment residences in North Vancouver.

“There are no other comparable new communities in Lynn Valley,” says sales manager Laura Cavanagh. “It’s been popular with local buyers especially since we are currently offering buyers a special financing

package.” Available until Oct. 14 only, Polygon is offering five-year, 2.95 per cent financing as part of their pre-construction sales program.

“This is a great opportunity to secure a home before we close our doors on Oct. 14,” says Cavanagh.

The curb appeal is readily apparent at Canyon Springs, with its contemporary West Coast architecture that fits perfectly with the surrounding natural beauty of the neighbourhood.

The one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment residences are spacious and inviting, ranging from about 630 to 1,100 square feet.

“These are really efficient floorplans,” Cavanagh says. “There’s no wasted space at all.”

Elegant laminate flooring throughout (with plush carpeting in the bedrooms) sets a modern tone for your new space, complemented by the nine-foot ceilings in the living and dining rooms. Buyers can choose between two colour schemes, Dark and

White.

The kitchens are particularly beautiful, with stainless-steel appliances and premium rift-cut, flat-panel cabinetry in oak or glossy white. The cabinets are complemented by engineered stone countertops, a handset tile backsplash and contemporary halogen track and under-cabinet lighting.

The bathrooms are relaxing and luxurious, with imported porcelain tile flooring, flatpanel laminate cabinetry and a modern tub with a ceramic tile tub and shower surround.

Your morning routine will be easy with the modern vanity mirror and lighting.

The ensuite also includes engineered stone countertops and Grohe polished chrome tub and shower faucets that lend a touch of elegance to the space.

The outdoors is all around you at Canyon Springs, and residents will easily be able to take advantage of this on their large deck or patio. Most ground-level homes will even have a private yard.

Homeowners at Canyon Springs will have

access to a fully equipped fitness studio overlooking an outdoor terrace, an on-site resident manager, a dog wash station and bike cleaning area and a spacious lounge with a fireplace. The landmark corner will also showcase a dramatic water feature and cast bronze art piece designed by local artist Marie Khouri.

Venturing off the property, you’ll find shopping, dining and schools all nearby, as well as the North Shore mountains and easy transit or car access to downtown Vancouver and the rest of the Lower Mainland. The close-knit community of Lynn Valley is like very few others in Metro Vancouver, where everyone from shoppers to yogis and freeriders to dog walkers enjoys an ideal balance between wild spaces and urban convenience.

Homes start at $359,900. For more information on the homes or the special financing package, visit www.polyhomes.com, call 604-973-0298 or drop by the presentation centre at 2517 Mountain Highway, open daily except Fridays between noon and 6 p.m.

HOWEVER YOU DEFINE COMMUNITY, WE CALL IT AN EASY WAY TO MEET AND CONNECT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS. It’s just one of the many reasons residents love calling Morgan Crossing home. It could be at the chalk art festival on Main Street (see below!), or one of the many other events, like movie nights in the summer or resident parties. How about chatting with fellow dog owners at the Morgan Crossing Dog Park, or meeting during a class or workout at Steve Nash Sports Club. Or just hanging out at the coffee shops and restaurants, at a wine tasting at Everything Wine, or on a bench on Main Street. You’ll see and meet lots of the people who live and work at Morgan Crossing… and maybe even ask out your cute neighbour, Amy.

REAL ESTATE IN MAPLE RIDGE & PITT MEADOWS

All listings in this publication are advertised by licensed Realtors®.

De-cluttering is common sense, really boxes and label them: keep; donate; toss; memorabilia; and ‘not sure.’

Then start sorting accordingly.

The labels are self-explanatory, and Hatley says it’s okay to put off some decisions via the ‘not sure’ box, as long as you don’t put everything in that box.

The coach’s third tip is to put like with like when organizing so that everything is easy to find later.

Having all your camping gear in one place when you’re finished, for instance, just makes common sense.

And that’s really all the organizing part is – common sense.

By Robert Prince

A

re you emotionally attached to your ‘stuff?’ Do you have trouble letting go of material possessions? If you do, you’re not alone.

Everyone accumulates stuff. It’s what humans do. Rare is the house that doesn’t have more stuff in it than the owners truly need, and some, of course, take it to extremes.

According to one American study, up to five per cent of that country’s citizens can be classified as “hoarders,” or extreme collectors of stuff – and what happens in the United States tends to happen in Canada.

Kathleen Hatley knows all about “too much stuff.” As a de-clutterer – formerly amateur and now professional, for the past two years – she has helped dozens of people deal with their stuff in an effort to help them regain a measure of control over their lives.

As the owner of My Clutter Coach, a business that specializes in helping people de-clutter, Hatley says she’s pretty much seen it all when it comes to people being swamped by their possessions. She’s seen the hoarders, but she deals primarily with ordinary people who are fed up with the chaos in which they live as a result of having too much stuff; people who want to get rid of things so they can regain some order in their personal space.

That said, it’s not always as easy as it might sound because a major part of the de-cluttering process is emotional.

The clutter coach says people with too much stuff endure certain hardships. They’re often embarrassed by the disorder in their homes.

They’re concerned they can’t find anything, and that everything is a much bigger chore than it should

A few other tips:

Kathleen Hatley is a de-cluttering coach.

be because there is no order. They also don’t like that they can’t clean properly because there’s too much stuff.

“There comes a point in a person’s life when this kind of disorder means the home isn’t functioning well.

That’s when they call me.”

In most instances the ultimate goal is to get rid of stuff and organize the space better. But the decision-making process can be tricky because most people have difficulty removing the emotional component from the process, thereby making it difficult to let go.

“Some people just can’t make

decisions when it comes to their stuff,” says Hatley. “They’re overwhelmed by the sheer size of the task, they don’t know where to start, there’s too much sentiment involved, and sometimes they just need someone to hold them to account.”

Her role, “is often as simple as giving people permission to let go of their things, and people need to understand that it’s all right to let the material things go. You need to give yourself permission.”

Once the emotional side of things is resolved, Hatley says the next big task is to create a strategy for getting organized.

“A lot of people think they’ll tackle a room or two in a few hours. Then they get started and realize the job is huge, so they quit.”

Bite-sized chunks are the way to tackle de-cluttering, says the coach.

Hatley’s top tip is to start with one part of one room, like a closet, a very small room or part of the garage. Get used to making the decisions; get comfortable with the process. Don’t bite off more than you can chew or you’ll get discouraged and put it off to another day, which basically means never.

The second tip is to organize using a “box” system. Basically, get five

1. Cut your losses and move on. Just because you paid a lot for something doesn’t mean you should keep it. Sell it or give it away, and stop torturing yourself about a bad buy.

2. Enlist someone to be accountable to – someone who isn’t emotionally attached who can ask the pointed questions about whether you actually need to keep certain items. Just make sure it’s someone who understands some things have real sentimental value.

3. Store stuff where you actually use it.

If you always pay the bills on the kitchen table, no point in stashing the stuff in the rarely-used office.

4. Don’t let your home be a storage depot. Tell your adult kids they need to remove their things if they want them, otherwise they’re gone.

5. Finally, create a storage system for yourself; you’ll get the job done and avoid backsliding afterwards.

“Once you’ve done all that work, you certainly don’t want to be go back to old habits,” says Coach Hatley.

So if your stuff is driving you crazy or making life difficult, consider de-cluttering using these tips.

Weighty decision leads to success

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

T

he scale read trouble for Vince Martin.

At the weigh-in for the World Police and Fire Games powerlifting competition, he was 208 pounds.

With the weight class being under-220, he was giving up 10 pounds to most of his rivals – and body mass is a huge advantage in power lifting.

“I had been panicking a bit about making weight, because the next weight class is 242 pounds, and those guys are monsters.”

So he had been hitting the stationary bike and dieting dutifully, but he overshot the 218 goal that most of the competitors were going for.

He blames his past as a competitive bodybuilder. In that sport, contestants want to add bulk muscle, and then be superhero-ripped for their pose-down. So, his body has been trained to shed weight quickly.

It was a forehead-slapper, but it didn’t effect Martin’s performance at the Games in Belfast, Northern Ireland in August. He still set a new world record in his weight class.

Martin is a B.C. Corrections officer who instructs in firearms, self -defence and arrest-and-control techniques.

He made the jump from bodybuilder to powerlifter in 2009, when Vancouver hosted the World Police and

Corrections officer Vince Martin of Maple Ridge has been a regular gold medallist in the World Police and Fire Games.

Fire Games. It’s still pumping weights, but there is a considerable difference in the training regimen when one goes from sculpting muscle to training for sheer strength.

The difference, in a nutshell, is regular veinpopping, eye-bulging lifts where you push the limits – every time out.

“You’ve got to beat your personal bests. You’ve got to try and do that, if not every week, then every other week.”

In competition, they set

up the bars for their first lift. If they don’t make it, they are eliminated. Martin had the bench press barbell set at 385 pounds. That was his maximum lift in 2009, which won the games for him.

Now, it’s a pretty comfortable place to start, and he pushed it up.

The second lift is about going for the win, and Martin had the bar set at just under 400 pounds.

The third lift is for competitors to set a new personal best, which he did

with a winning 408 pounds.

The deadlift is a discipline which sees lifters grab a barbell on the floor, and raise it to a standing position, with the bar at their waist. It is a total-body exercise, he explains, which “hits everything,” and is a great measure of overall strength.

Martin hoisted 620 pounds for his personal best and a new world record in his 220-pound weight class.

He did a “comfortable” 590, then went for the win

THE NEWS/files

with a 610 lift, before going for the record.

“When I did 610, it came up pretty quick, so I knew I’d get the 620,” he remembers.

“The judge gave the command for me to put it, 620 down, and I held it up for a bit longer, and the crowd went nuts. It was almost the best feeling in the world.”

There were about 400 people there to cheer him on.

“It was nice to see the interest in powerlifting.”

In bodybuilding, he

achieved Top 5 in Western Canada, but never nailed the scientific, zealous dieting demanded of the sport.

But he has a power-lifter’s build – with strong joints and tendons. It is a discipline that an individual will either have success with, and carry on, or hurt something and move off to some other passtime.

“It’s not a forgiving sport.”

He trains for about 90 minutes, one day on and one off, and has been a familiar sight at Champion Athletic Club in Maple Ridge over the past decade.

His wife Heather and three sons are a supportive family, and there’s a gym family that gives him more props.

Martin said men hit real muscle maturity in their late 30s, and that has been true for him. He has won gold at all three World Police and Fire Games he has been to, including New York 2011, and those already mentioned.

At 42, and the strongest he’s ever been, Martin is looking forward to future games.

“There’s a lot of making contact and friendships with people from all over the world.”

There was a Russian firefighter who pushed him to the limit. After the competition, Martin gave him a Team Martin shirt, exchanging it for one of his as a souvenir.

He hopes to see him again at the next games, in 2015 in Fairfax, Virginia.

Tonight’s game a piece of history staff reporter

John Morrow/BLACK PRESS

The Pitt Meadows Marauders, seen here in Friday’s action against the Abbotsford Collegiate Panthers, host the SRT Titans tonight.

Tonight’s game between the Pitt Meadows Marauders and the Samuel Robertson Technical Titans will be the first-ever crosstown rivalry game in the district’s varsity football history.

There have been varsity programs before, and also games between junior teams, but never a clash of senior teams.

Nobody could be happier to see it than Mike Keenan, and not just because he is the principal of tonight’s host Pitt Meadows Secondary, but also as a former gladiator of the gridiron himself.

Maple Ridge Secondary had a bona fide football program through the 1960s, that went nose-to-

nose with the Notre Dames and Vancouver Colleges of the circuit, and in 1969 they played for the provincial championship. They lost 13-6 to Delbrook in the Shrine Bowl. Back then, there were pep rallies and big crowds out to watch the games at Telosky Field.

“It was a real culture builder,” said the educator.

He strapped on a helmet in Grade 8, and was there for the last season in 1976, when there was only a junior team left. It was the only team in town. Westview had just opened, and SRT and Thomas Haney had yet to be built.

He remembers the sudden dropping of the program, and how all the equipment was sold. He salvaged a couple of me-

mentos.

“I still have my old MRSS jersey in my closet somewhere,” he said, and he also has a big red cape with a ram’s head on it, which the players wore on the sidelines when it rained.

From his unique historical perspective, Keenan is excited about there being two football programs in the city. He sees a crosstown rivalry as only being positive, a generator of school spirit, as it has been in recent years with basketball teams.

“The crosstown rivalries (in basketball) were a lot of fun. The gyms were packed.”

He said a senior football team generates more interest in the school, and the players walking around on

game days wearing their jerseys and a tie is a reminder to everyone about the big game.

“We’re making a big deal of it here.”

The Pitt football team is drawing about 300 fans to its games this year, and kids with green-painted faces are loud and proud. So he has big hopes for tonight’s game, and anticipates that SRT will be sending a big contingent of fans to tonight’s historic event.

“I’m glad to see it come back.”

Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m

didn’t fare as well, but spirits were high as our boys battled the birds in the rain. Gabe Fitzpatrick and Brayden Hogarth made drive stopping tackles and Hogarth recovered his first fumble of the season. Quarterback, Isaiah Cavelli hooked up with Austin Pattenden, Daniel Kalinich and Jacob Brass, to fire up the Knights offense, but couldn’t get in the end zone as they were bested by the Falcons 26-0.

The Peewee Gold Knights travelled to Mission where they were blanked by the Niners 31-0, while back home, the peewee Blue squad hosted the Langley Bears.

The boys in blue put up a solid defensive stand during this seesaw match. Corners, Matteo Gallovich and Riley Rooney were making great tackles, forcing the Bears inside to face off against defensive ends Ethan Holland, and Keanyn Hamilton. Down 6-0, the Knights mounted a late drive into Bears territory with less than a minute left to play, but fumbled a rain-soaked ball which was recovered by Langley.

The Junior Bantams lost another close game 13-12 against the North Langley Bears.

Cade Cote had a great game on both sides of the ball scoring a long touchdown and recording numerous crushing tackles. Brandon Hunt added the Knights other touchdown.
